"It's happening again!"

Previously, the Witch Qi in his body would go on a rampant burst every so often, but at that time, because his strength was not impaired, he could quickly suppress the rampaging energies. But now, with his injuries not yet healed, he couldn't do that anymore. That's why he was now kneeling on the ground in agony, his face as pale as paper!

"Save me, save me! I'm willing to be worked to the bone, truly willing!"

Feeling the Witch Qi surging wildly through all his blood vessels, he spoke out quickly.

He knew that if he didn't receive treatment now, he wouldn't make it through this time!

"Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance."

As he said this, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes. The next second, with a flick of his wrist, three silver needles pierced directly into his body...

These three silver needles were surrounded by Nine Wood True Qi, so as they penetrated, streams of Hu Xiaobei's Nine Wood True Qi were quickly injected into his body...

"How do you feel?"

After ensuring that all the Nine Wood True Qi had dispersed, Hu Xiaobei asked quietly.

"This... much better!"

As he spoke, he discovered that the previously agitated Witch Qi had once again stabilized.

"That's good."

After nodding slightly, Hu Xiaobei looked at him and said, "This True Qi will help you suppress the agitated Witch Qi, but it can only last for one month. After a month, if you don't receive continuous treatment, your injuries will flare up again, and the outbreak will be even more severe. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes! Master! I understand!"

He spoke quickly.

He knew that Hu Xiaobei was only temporarily alleviating his condition. To have Hu Xiaobei completely heal him, he must behave well...

"Now that you understand, stay here and protect me. I feel that I'm about to have a breakthrough. I need to cultivate!"

"Yes, Master! I'll guard this place well for you!"

After speaking respectfully, he quickly sat down on the ground.

Watching his serious demeanor, Hu Xiaobei smiled and soon entered the cave.

After sitting down cross-legged, Hu Xiaobei began to prepare for cultivation.

"They say that only after breaking through to the third layer do you truly begin. After I break through, I'll thoroughly explore what the third layer is really like!"

Hu Xiaobei, sitting cross-legged, took a deep breath, his eyes excitedly fixed on the distance.

Previously, Hu Xiaobei had cultivated to the peak of the second layer, so he knew that once he broke through the bottleneck, he would truly have begun...

Outside, the Wizard named Jingjing was sitting quietly, completely abandoning any thoughts of opposing Hu Xiaobei further.

Because he knew his life was entirely in Hu Xiaobei's hands...

...

Inside the cave, Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath and once again launched an assault on the bottleneck.

Before this, he had attacked the bottleneck seven or eight times, but to no avail.

"Just like before, huh? It really is quite difficult to break through this bottleneck!"

After another failed attempt, Hu Xiaobei opened his eyes, feeling somewhat frustrated...

Hu Xiaobei knew today he wouldn't break through the bottleneck.

"Forget it, good things take time. I shouldn't try any more today."

Thinking so, Hu Xiaobei exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly stood up.

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei knew that although he hadn't achieved the breakthrough, his strength had increased considerably from before...

After leaving the cave, Hu Xiaobei heard a very respectful voice, "Master!"

With an expressionless nod, Hu Xiaobei said to him, "You've worked hard. From now on, you'll live here. Once my shop is settled, I'll have you come and give me a hand!"

"Yes, I understand!"

He bowed quickly after such a respectful reply.

"Good."

After nodding slightly, Hu Xiaobei left directly.

Of course, before leaving, Hu Xiaobei had those giant pythons and the like disperse.

...

"It's just a breakthrough failure, not a big deal. You don't need to keep comforting me by my side!"

Upon returning to his residence, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but rub his nose and then glanced at the Treasure-hunting Rabbit sitting on his shoulder.

This cunning rabbit had been comforting Hu Xiaobei ever since the earlier times, which made him feel it was making a mountain out of a molehill!

After finishing his thought, Hu Xiaobei heard it murmur something.

After understanding its intention, Hu Xiaobei said, "Yes, yes, yes! I know you care about me! So, shouldn't you give me something as comfort now?"

Hu Xiaobei was only half-joking at the time and hadn't truly intended to ask for anything, but he was stunned after speaking because the rabbit nodded and then disappeared!

"Could it be that this thing really prepared something good for me?"

While thinking this, Hu Xiaobei saw the Treasure-hunting Rabbit reappear.

Upon seeing it, Hu Xiaobei wanted to ask something, but at that moment, he suddenly smelled a strong and refreshing fragrance which seemed to invigorate his whole being.

"What is this...?"

While in shock, Hu Xiaobei quickly turned his head and saw the rabbit's chubby little hands clutching a green fruit. The fragrance that revived his spirit was emanating from this green fruit...

"This is a treasure!"

Shocked, Hu Xiaobei examined the green fruit very closely.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei became frustrated because he realized he couldn't recognize what it was...

"How is this possible! I can't recognize it at all!"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei took another close look but still couldn't recognize it.

"Hey, Rabbit, what is this?"

Since he truly couldn't identify it, Hu Xiaobei turned to the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, feeling that it should know.

After asking, Hu Xiaobei saw the rabbit gently shake its head.

"You don't know either!"

He muttered to himself and then took a closer look at it.

The fragrance became even stronger as he brought it nearer...

"Even though I don't know what this is, it shouldn't harm me!"

Muttering thus, Hu Xiaobei wanted to have a taste...

"In ancient times, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs; today, I shall taste a hundred fruits!"

After muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei bit quickly into the green fruit, and instantly, its sweet flavor filled his mouth.

"Delicious!"

As he praised, Hu Xiaobei's face turned extremely sour in an instant because at that moment, he suddenly remembered what the fruit was...
