Bai Xing looked at the few points left in the mountain order and his eyelids twitched.

Bai Xing sighed, flicked his sleeves, and except for the furnace and the things needed for refining medicine, he divided the remaining things into two and placed them in front of the two people.

Su Shixuan and Zhuo Pingjian were both stunned, both a little surprised. They thought Bai Xing was preparing for the next trip to the secret realm, but they never thought that Bai Xing was actually preparing for the two of them...

The two lowered their eyes and accepted it almost at the same time, "Thank you for your gift, sir."

Bai Xing smiled and said, "The journey to the secret realm is full of dangers. I will feel more at ease if I have more things to protect myself."

Su Shixuan suddenly took out three luxurious alchemy furnaces, "Sir, this is the third-grade alchemy furnace of excellent quality that Shixuan refined for you."

"I... I can only refine a third-grade alchemy furnace now, please accept it."

Bai Xing smiled happily, "Shi Xuan is so thoughtful. He just solved my urgent problem."

Su Shixuan pursed his thin lips, lowered his head and said nothing.

Bai Xing patted his shoulder and said, "You have done a good job. Don't put pressure on yourself. I can only refine third-grade pills now, so a third-grade pill cauldron is enough."

Su Shixuan raised his head, a determined light flashed in his eyes, "Shixuan will definitely work harder to keep up with the young master's pace and create a higher-level spiritual weapon for the young master."

Bai Xing was startled for a moment, then chuckled, "Well, okay. I believe you can do it, and my spiritual weapon will be handed over to you from now on."

Zhuo Pingjian was not to be outdone, and he took out many jade bottles like offering treasures, "And me, sir, you see, I haven't been lazy during this period of time, and I have refined a lot of pills."

Bai Xing took it and examined it, praisingly saying, "Not bad. The success rate of the top-grade elixir is 20% higher than before."

Zhuo Pingjian smiled shyly, "Hey, sir, since I've been working so hard, could you please..." His eyes fell obscurely on the alchemy furnaces.

Bai Xing was keenly aware of Zhuo Pingjian's gaze, and couldn't help but stroke his forehead, waving his hand, "Take it."

Zhuo Pingjian was holding a pill cauldron with a smile on his face. After noticing Su Shixuan's cold gaze, he quickly put it back into his Qiankun Ring.

Li Cheng looked at the two of them thoughtfully, then his gaze vaguely fell on Bai Xing, and suddenly a hint of envy arose in his heart.

Bai Xing returned the pills to Zhuo Pingjian, along with several bottles of recovery potions, and warned him, "Take less non-excellent pills, and remember to drink more potions to remove the excess in your body."

"Thank you, sir." Zhuo Pingjian laughed.

Bai Xing treated everyone equally and gave Su Shixuan one as well. He caught a glimpse of Li Cheng's gaze from the corner of his eye. Bai Xing paused, then took out two more bottles of medicine and threw them to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng took it with some hesitation, "Thank you, Lord."

Zhuo Pingjian rolled his eyes.

Bai Xing nodded and went straight to Tingfeng Pavilion, and several people followed him.

When Bai Xing and his companions arrived, it was getting dark and a warm light appeared in Tingfeng Pavilion.

As soon as they entered, it was as if they had walked into a lively place, with the smell of fireworks and fragrance everywhere.

Bai Xing was in a trance for a moment. The disciples were discussing the day's competition enthusiastically, drinking one cup after another, and even gesticulating when they got excited.

Bai Xing inadvertently slowed down his pace, and as he listened, he suddenly heard his own name.

Bai Xing's expression suddenly became a little strange. This feeling was very strange. He quickened his pace and walked into a private room.

There was already a group of people waiting inside.

Chen Ergou didn't say anything when he saw people, just lowered his head sullenly.

Peng Zhenghao, on the other hand, came over with a big smile, "Mr. Bai, you are finally here."

Bai Xing smiled and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Then, Bai Xing turned his gaze to Chen Ergou, "Chen Ergou, why are you so depressed?"

Chen Ergou looked up as if frightened, his eyes dodging, "I... nothing."

Bai Xing's eyes darkened, "What happened?"

Chen Ergou remained silent. Peng Zhenghao hesitated for a moment when he saw this. "Mr. Bai, Ergou has lost the qualification to enter the secret realm."

Bai Xing was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. "Well, there are still three days before the end of the competition. I will do my best to cure you in these three days."

Chen Ergou didn't react much when he heard this. He just nodded woodenly. On the contrary, his brothers were so surprised that their expressions were beyond words.

Peng Zhenghao's eyes moistened, "Are you serious?"

Several people exchanged glances and said, "We would like to thank Mr. Bai first. If you need us in the future, we will do our best to help you."

Bai Xing said: "To be honest, I am only 70% sure."

Then, Bai Xing said to Zhuo Pingjian: "Zhuozi, go to Jiayuan and hand these things over to Xie Sheng."

Zhuo Pingjian accepted the jade bottle handed over by Bai Xing and nodded, "Yes, I will definitely live up to your trust."

Bai Xing added: "Also, ask him to prepare something for me. Everything will be in it." As he spoke, a scroll appeared in Bai Xing's hand and he handed it to Zhuo Pingjian.

Zhuo Pingjian responded "yes" and left.

Bai Xing bent her fingertips and tapped lightly on Chen Ergou's forehead. Chen Ergou felt the pain and hissed softly.

Bai Xing asked, "Where is your previous enthusiasm? You are sad after failing just once? You can't do it anymore?"

Chen Ergou gritted his teeth and turned his head away.

Bai Xing saw a tear in his eyes and sighed, "You may experience countless failures in the future. Do you have to feel sad every time?"

"You just lost an arm. Once you recover, you may be able to defeat my opponent. There's no need to underestimate yourself." As he said that, he rubbed the top of Chen Ergou's head.

Chen Ergou tried hard to hold back his tears. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He didn't want to cry even though he was ridiculed and beaten today, because he knew that tears were the most useless thing. Their appearance would only make him look more useless and cowardly. As long as there was a chance, he would not stop.

However, when the opponent kicked him off the ring, tears welled up in his eyes, as if something important had disappeared. Shirahoshi's figure faded away in front of him, and the words "You are my patient, I will protect you." became more and more ethereal and distorted, as if it was just an illusion.

Bai Xing said softly, "Have you taken your medicine on time these past two days? It was my fault for missing your appointment yesterday, but I can assure you that you will get better."

Chen Ergou said in a hoarse voice: "I finished the pills you gave me yesterday."

Bai Xing smiled and was willing to talk, which was a good sign. "I see." As he spoke, a few jade bottles appeared in Bai Xing's hand. "This is your next dose of medicine. This time it's liquid medicine. You should take it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, one bottle each time."

Chen Ergou silently accepted the jade bottle, still keeping his head down.
