Transmigration: Children of The Plane

A Useful piece of Loot

"Aphrodisiac, aphrodisiac, this is basically a viagra, aphrodisiac, dear god, are there any actual useful pills?" Xue Bai was dumbfounded.

Could only man be so reliant on drugs? Did he have no confidence in himself?

"Oh? That's something," Suddenly, at the bottom of the pile Xue found something interesting.

Though it was hidden in a normal-looking pill bottle without any special markings or inscriptions to bring attention to it, Xue Bai had studied under his mother, a peak Yellow-grade alchemist. So how could he not sense it?

Throwing the useless drugs back into Wu Tianyu's spatial ring, Xue Bai inspected the seemingly only practical bottle of pills there was.

Uncorking the pill bottle, Xue Bai found three pristine white looking pills inside, and while such a paltry amount would've made him uninterested, it was the aroma that hit his nose that got his attention back.

"These must be the pills that Wu Tianyu used to regenerate his limbs, then." Xue Bai guessed.

Such a strong aroma could only be matched to a peak Yellow-grade pill or higher. And a pill of that grade was more than enough to regenerate the arm of a Bone Strengthening realm cultivator.

Content, Xue Bai stored the remaining three pills in his spatial ring.

"Let's hope that the talismans aren't also used for sex." Xue Bai thought before going into the next pile.

After all, they were talismans. How could there be such a lascivious talisman in existence?

"I was wrong." Xue Bai was enlightened.

There was a lascivious talisman in existence.

"This is just an aphrodisiac generator, isn't it?" Xue Bai truly didn't know his luck, "Was it not enough to have the almost 100 aphrodisiac pills earlier? Why have talismans that release them into the air?"

"And he even had 10 of them. What the hell? Is he so impotent that he needs so many drugs?!" Xue Bai was enraged, but who could he vent his anger to?

Thankfully there were at least a few usable talismans, making Xue Bai at least feel a little bit compensated.

Three Golden Body Talismans that could summon a shield that could stop two attacks from a Law Engraving realm expert, and 2 Fireball Talismans that could conjure a fireball with the power capable of killing a Law Engraving realm expert.

Xue Bai, at first, was confused about why Wu Tianyu didn't use them, but after taking a closer look, he figured it out.

Unlike talismans made by true expert talisman experts, these ones were made either in a hurry or by a horrible talisman maker, as in order to use it, it needed to be charged by enough Spiritual Qi to use it. And since Wu Tianyu obviously didn't have enough Spiritual Qi to power up a talisman capable of such power, they could only sit in his spatial ring and collect dust.

Expert Talisman Makers would create the talismans that Xue Bai had where they were already pre-charged and only needed a wisp of Spiritual Qi to activate.

Indignant about his horrible luck, Xue Bai was without anywhere to vent.

So betting all of his remaining luck on the jade slips, Xue Bai brought the first of 3 to his forehead.

"Nope, that's the Yang replenishing art." Xue Bai instantly threw that one back into Wu Tianyu's spatial ring before using the second, "Ugh, that one is even worse. Using the Yin Essence of women to rejuvenize the old skin? I'm neither old nor so horrible a man to use the virginity of a woman for my appearance."

"If this third one isn't something useful, I'm going to dig up Wu Tianyu's ancestral grave." Xue Bai was starting to get annoyed at how bad his luck was.

Grabbing the last one with no expectations, Xue Bai brought it to his forehead and repeated the familiar process.

"This is a map?" Xue Bai was caught off guard.

Instead of the usual cultivation technique or notes, what was inscribed on the jade slip was a map.

"But I don't know where this is." Xue Bai muttered sadly. He was a little disappointed he couldn't hunt down the treasure instantly, "First go back to the sect, then I guess."

Without anything to do, Xue Bai continued to write horrible poems in order to pass the time as he waited for his Wind Chasing Horse to reach its destination.

After another 2 hours of disappointing his elementary teacher, Xue Bai eventually returned back to the base.

This time, however, he didn't spend much time talking with the Base Lord and only gave the man the corpse of Wu Tianyu and the husks of his victims.

"Base Lord, while I don't know who these women are since Wu Tianyu acquired them after he was forced out of the city, most likely they are from the surrounding villages." Xue Bai spoke calmly on his horse.

"I don't have much to say. However, I do wish for you to find the family of these poor women and have their bodies returned to them. Wu Tianyu was a menace, but that doesn't mean the families should suffer any more than they should have already." Xue Bai spoke eloquently, gaining many words of praise from the citizens nearby.

The Base Lord agreed and patted his chest with as much force as his old body allowed him to and swore to complete the task to the best of his abilities.

"Oh, before I leave," Xue Bai suddenly remembered, "Base Lord find whoever Wu Tianyu slept with in the brothels and give them these pills. Though he hadn't sucked them dry of their Yin Essence, he did definitely take a lot from them. These pills can help them gain it back before it starts to damage their vitality."

Xue Bai then handed the Base Lord a small bottle of Profound Yin Pills.

Ignoring the extravagant name, the pills were something rather crude. They were only a low Yellow-grade pill and had a rather odd use. It supplied mortal women with a surplus amount of Yin Essence that could do many good things to their bodies, from strengthening their bodies to even looking a few years younger.

Sadly the pill was used in the wrong direction. And the pill nowadays was mainly used for high-profile noble mortal women who wanted to effectively regain their virginity again.

However, for the women that Wu Tianyu used while he was still in the city, it could save their lives.

After handing the Base Lord the pills, Xue Bai left. His first bounty mission resulted in him finding many flaws in himself that he would've never discovered from cultivating in peace at his peak, and he wanted to do more.

There were only about 5 or 6 more years of peace on the continent, and Xue Bai needed to be fully grown before then. Both physically and mentally.

"6 years is enough for me to reach the Law Manifestation realm, I think?" Xue Bai thought aloud, "If not, I should be pretty close, though."

There were five realms between him and the Law Manifestation realm right now if he didn't include the Purification Stages of the Bone Strengthening realm that he planned to complete soon.

"Spend a year in the Organ Tempering realm, about 18 months in the Qi Sea and Dharma Idol realm, and about two years in the Law Engraving realm." Xue Bai thought aloud as he tried to plan out his future, "As long as I can comprehend the Spatial Law soon. If not, then 7 years."

Though to the outside world, a pace like this would be monstrous, and any man who thought he could replicate it would be called insane, to Xue Bai, it seemed normal.

Zhu Que would reach the Domain Lord realm in the year 984, which was only a little over eight years from now. So adding the fact that he was already in the Bone Strengthening realm and his wealth of resources, reaching the Law Manifestation realm in 982 didn't seem too far-fetched.

Xue Bai only needed to start comprehending Spatial Law in preparation for the Law Engraving Realm. However, the Spatial Law was one of the most profound and mysterious laws there were. So it was a daunting task for him, to say the least.

Continuing to plan out the distant future, Xue Bai eventually got lost in thoughts. However, very soon, Xue Bai shook his head.

"Don't think so far into the future," Xue Bai muttered as he gave his cheeks a smack, "Stay focused on the present. So many things go awry in 6 years. Cultivating peacefully in the Baishen Plane is a fool's dream."

The era of geniuses had arrived, so even if Xue Bai holed himself in a mountain in the Barren Lands, a stray genius would still find him and start a 'spar' hoping to 'exchange pointers.'

After a few smacks that turned the cheeks on his face red, Xue Bai once again gained his usual determined and icy look and continued on the way to the Soaring Sword Sect.

–

"Big sister Xiao'er when is Little Brother coming back? He couldn't have gone missing after the ceremony, right?" Zhu Que asked as she sat cross-legged with her chin in her hands in the training pagoda.

In the week that Xue Bai had been gone, Xiao'e'r had broken through to the 9th stage of the Organ Tempering realm, so currently, the two were on the third floor seeing if Xiao'er could hold her own against a sword puppet in the Qi Sea realm.

Zhu Que had tried to dissuade her, saying that the gap between the Qi Sea and Organ Tempering realm was something huge and couldn't be overcome by Xiao'er.

However, after thinking for a little, Zhu Que gave up on trying to dissuade her. This Big Sister of hers needed something to give her a reality check, and this sword puppet was the perfect thing for the job.

And true to Zhu Que's words, Xiao'er was now lying on the ground, both beaten and exhausted.

"Young Master told that he was taking a mission and that he wouldn't be back for about a week so so." Xiao'er panted, "So, if anything, he should be coming either tonight or tomorrow morning."

"But didn't Master say for us not to leave the sect until we reach the Qi Sea realm?" Zhu Que was confused.

Xiao'er was as well and could only shrug in response.

She was only sent a message and was left the Soul Sublimation Golden Lotus. Xue Bai didn't even tell her what mission he took, but just that he would be leaving.

The training pagoda descended into a short silence after the question until Xiao'er eventually got her energy back.

"Alright, Zhu Que, watch Big Sister beat down this stupid sword puppet!" Xiao'er yelled out as she once again turned on the array, unleashing the same sword puppet that had beaten her just an hour ago.

Zhu Que wanted to stop the maid, but her words didn't come out fast enough. Xiao'er had already clashed with the puppet.

'Big Sister, you're just a normal cultivator. How dare you try to skip realms and fight a Qi Sea realm puppet?' Zhu Que inwardly sighed.

Though Xiao'er had recently gotten ahold of her mind and started to improve her strength, she had too little time to become anything special. So for her to lose her mind and try to fight a Qi Sea realm sword puppet with her cultivation base was something rather dumb.

Sadly Xiao'er didn't like taking no for an answer and wanted to beat the puppet before she quit.

"Go, Big Sister!" Zhu Que weakly cheered from the side.

'I should prepare more healing pills,' Zhu Que thought as she saw Xiao'er fly back from the lost first exchange.
