Bai Pu saw this prompt and couldn't help but pause.

This spiritual liquid... is so powerful? It can even directly replenish pure blood!

Bai Pu wasn't in the mood to enjoy the spiritual liquid bath anymore, and with a splash, he stood up from the bathing tub.

Of course, the soaking effect of the spiritual liquid works from the outside in. Initially, it repairs the flesh, then it seeps into the blood, and Bai Pu's heart draws nutrition to generate pure blood.

Since the pure blood has already been restored, it means Bai Pu's bath is complete. All his internal injuries are healed, and his entire being is spiritually revitalized, in his best state.

Bai Pu changed into a set of underwear he had prepared in advance, then took 10 seconds to activate the equipment's Illusion Mode, transforming into a black casual outfit.

He hurriedly returned to the front desk to return the key card of the quiet chamber.

The receptionist auntie smiled gently, like a spring breeze.

"I want to ask... can this spiritual liquid be purchased?" Bai Pu asked.

The auntie shook her head and said, "Spiritual liquid is an extremely scarce resource. Only Special Service Officers with special qualifications can use diluted spiritual liquid for bathing. According to the rules, spiritual liquid cannot be taken out of the 'Frost Moon Forest' Boundary Land."

Bai Pu sighed. If spiritual liquid could be bought, he would break the bank to get a few bottles.

This stuff can replenish pure blood just by soaking in it, which greatly enhances Bai Pu's endurance capability.

"Are you leaving? Wait a moment, I'll show you my niece's photo, she's really pretty, about your age, just right!"

Bai Pu didn't want to offend the receptionist auntie—being a receptionist at one of the headquarters of the Special Service Bureau, "Frost Moon Forest" fortress, she is definitely not an ordinary Awakened!

After some perfunctory words, Bai Pu took a photo from the auntie.

On the front of the photo, there's a girl with a bright smile and full of energy, with two little tiger teeth visible.

On the back of the photo, the auntie had written a name with a marker: Qiao Fangfei.

Bai Pu glanced at it and wasn't very interested.

The reason is simple, this energetic girl with tiger teeth named Qiao Fangfei is somewhat undernourished, unlike the charming Qin, the voluptuous Yuan Yue, or the tall Li Ling.

Out of courtesy, Bai Pu accepted the photo and quickly bade farewell.

As he turned into a shadow, Bai Pu vaguely heard the auntie's enthusiastic voice, "Come play often if you have time!"

...

After exiting the space passage, Bai Pu returned to Special Service Group Six.

Seizing the moment when he was in peak condition, Bai Pu directly consumed the [Profound Turtle Bead].

The effect was rather good.

Bai Pu's Basic Power +2, Basic Endurance +1; but Basic Agility and Basic Spirit, both are +3!

It's probably because Agility and Spirit were weaknesses, and the energy of the Profound Turtle Bead mainly compensated for the weak attributes, and the excess then flowed into the stronger attributes.

Now, without considering the temporary enhancement from Genetic Fragments, Bai Pu's attributes became:

Power 48 (21), Agility 21 (14), Endurance 64 (27), Spirit 24 (16).

The numbers in parentheses are the basic attribute values.

Bai Pu's Basic Power finally met the standard, and even without using Genetic Fragments, it's enough to wield the new Immortal King set and Spider Demon Tower Shield.

Bai Pu wasn't planning to return to Xicheng immediately; he is a cautious person.

Now every move Bai Pu makes is surely under the close watch of the Superstar Alliance, if Bai Pu takes the car from Jiangnan Base City back to Xicheng... who knows what might happen on the way.

Even with Li Ling accompanying him, it wouldn't help. If the Superstar Alliance is determined to deal with Bai Pu, it won't spare Li Ling.

Li Ling understood this too, and she explained the situation to Xiang Yinghua.

Instructor Xiang Yinghua agreed to personally escort them back to Xicheng—Xiang Yinghua is an Advanced Awakened, extremely powerful, or else he couldn't hold the position of special forces military skills instructor.

However, Xiang Yinghua temporarily stayed to guard the entrance of the space passage at the Demon Abyss Border Land, waiting for the search order issued by the Jiangnan District Committee. He will have to wait until the Demon Abyss is thoroughly checked before he can spare time to escort Bai Pu and Li Ling back to Xicheng.

Colleagues from Special Service Group Six, such as the group leader Yuan Hall, could send Bai Pu back, but since Bai Pu just met him, they are not familiar...

So Bai Pu could only stay here for now.

The matter of changing professions shouldn't be rushed; though the physical internal injuries and fatigue have healed, the mental tension still needs some relaxation. A balance of work and rest is essential, Bai Pu must cultivate his spirit and be well-prepared before tackling the career change challenge.

With nothing else to do, Bai Pu began practicing the swordsmanship technique of "Lifting Heavy as Light" as instructed by Beiming Jihu.

According to Beiming Jihu, achieving the level of "Lifting Heavy as Light" in swordsmanship required practicing with a heavy sword, piercing eight flies on the wall continuously while ensuring the wall remained untouched.

Bai Pu first hung eight wooden planks in the air, thrusting with the heavy sword, attempting to have the sword touch the planks without causing significant movement.

This practice did not avoid public attention. Colleagues from Special Service Group Six saw it and were all amazed.

Some wanted to imitate the attempt, but they had not received Beiming Jihu's guidance, so naturally, they didn't have the "Swordsmanship Direct Advancement Level 4" challenge enabled, and even if they imitated Bai Pu and met Beiming Jihu's standards, it couldn't trigger a direct advancement in swordsmanship specialty to Level 4.

This is where the value of strong Spirit Realm Natives lies.

When Spirit Realm characters teach skills, they often trigger challenges and tasks, effectively providing Awakened with a quantifiable specific goal, capable of breaking through bottlenecks and directly advancing combat specialization levels.

Whereas skilled Awakened with the same combat techniques, when teaching Low-level Awakened skills, can't achieve the same effect.

Therefore, powerful Spirit Realm Natives are often welcomed by major forces when they stray into Boundary Land.

As for the Native Bai Pu killed in the Demon Abyss, though having Level 4 combat specialization, couldn't provide guidance for Awakened to break through bottlenecks like Beiming Jihu, he wasn't taken seriously by the Superstar Alliance and was only used as a bodyguard.

Practicing with a heavy sword, engraved with a tenfold gravity curse seal, Bai Pu originally found it a bit shaky to hold steadily even with both hands.

But now, holding the practice heavy sword with both hands, Bai Pu suddenly had a different feeling compared to when in Heart Demon: Oath World, it seemed more stable! The rounded sword edge barely trembled at all.

The 2 additional points in Basic Power shouldn't have made such a significant improvement.

The reason lies in Bai Pu's new [Immortal King's Iron Bracelets], with the additional skill: Firm Wrist, which significantly enhanced Bai Pu's wrist strength.

Especially when holding a weapon with both hands, Attack Power +10, Power determination +10, which seems to involve not just literal effects, but also unseen data effects like weapon holding stability.

As a result, Bai Pu's practice progress increased rapidly; he no longer needed to practice from weapon-holding stability, but directly practiced strike precision.

Precision doesn't just refer to precise angles but also precise force, not one bit more, not one bit less.

Of course, this is not achieved overnight.

Bai Pu trained intensely, and during downtimes, he would study the [Evergreen Ointment].

This formula from the Illusion Plane is not something an ordinary Sub-profession could learn. This is the difference between the Illusion Plane and the Source Plane.

Fortunately, Bai Pu has the hidden Sub-profession of [Daoist Alchemist], with the passive trait of "Breaking Barriers," enabling him to learn the recipe.

Of course, there's no rush for success in this; though the physical injuries have healed and fatigue has dissipated, the mental tension still needs some relaxation. A balance between work and rest is crucial, Bai Pu must cultivate his spirit, prepare well, and then take on the challenge of career change.

Since he had nothing better to do, Bai Pu decided to practice the sword technique that Beiming Jihu had instructed him in.

According to Beiming Jihu, the essence of swordsmanship lies in strength control — not too much, not too little. The ultimate goal is to be able to hit precisely with the correct force.

As Bai Pu embarked on his grueling practice, his only companion was the air of the quiet training room, which seemed to exude a silent encouragement. And so, step by step, Bai Pu worked his way to the pinnacle of his sword training, eagerly anticipating the next challenge that fate would bring.
