Chapter 8: Battle of Thousand Brilliance

  When facing all the baffled eyes, Bai Luochu looked as though she wasn't aware at all. She sat quietly inside the prison cell and sat in a meditative state as she prepared to cultivate.

  Before her the cattail seat under her buttocks was warm, she heard the voice of the person who rang the gong. "No.8 human slave, a noble has bestowed you with a reward. Quickly come and receive it!"

  Bai Luochu didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took the reward. She opened it up and saw that the reward was the same as before. There was a bottle of spirit medicine and ten gold coins. As for the other prisoners, they were no longer bold enough to bother her about it.

  "Ss, how is this lass so capable? She entered the arena twice and got rewarded every time. Isn't she too lucky?"

  Indeed, consecutive rewards... Let alone the others in the prison cells, even Bai Luochu felt that her luck was too good. Although these rewards weren't valuable, they were stuff she desperately needed!

  It was possible that Bai Luochu had strained her body during the battle with the spirit beast. Right now, waves of pain assaulted her arms and ribs.

  Taking out the spirit medicine from her reward bag, she opened the lid of the bottle. A concentrated smell of medicinal fragrance wafted out and filled the area. Bai Luochu used her spiritual energy to check it carefully and discovered that the spirit qi contained within this bottle was much more concentrated than before.

  Bai Luochu could hear the gulping sounds from all directions in the prison cells but she wasn't going to hold herself back. She had risked her life for this and although she wasn't injured in the battle, it was due to her thorough understanding of the spirit beast.

  She raised her head and drank the spirit medicine in a single gulp. She could feel the spirit qi contained in the spirit medicine carrying the medicinal effects as it surged towards her injuries. Bai Luochu quickly sat in a meditation posture with her palms, legs, and head facing the sky and used her spiritual energy to guide the spirit qi.

  When the medicinal effects of this spirit medicine had been completely absorbed, Bai Luochu's rib injuries had fully recovered and the injury on her arm was semi recovered. She then applied the herbs that she chewed up yesterday before wrapping her arm up to prevent infection.

  When Bai Luochu thought about how she was going to leave this place soon, she immediately recalled the feud between herself and Lu Wenshu. However, she didn't have any information regarding Lu Wenshu after her death, causing her to be rather edgy.

  After mulling it over, Bai Luochu decided to head over to the merchant house to inquire about Lu Wenshu and her disciples in the temple.

  She tied the reward bag on her waist as the counter staff was someone who only looked at the money. Bai Luochu didn't think she would be able to obtain the information without coughing out some cash.

  Perhaps it was due to her recovery or because she was in a hurry to obtain the information, Bai Luochu was walking at a very fast pace towards the merchant house.

  "Creak." The merchant house's door was pushed open by Bai Luochu.

  When the counter staff heard the sound, her originally resting body slowly lifted off from the table and she spoke lazily, "Welcome..."

  Before she finished her sentence, her gaze fixed onto that petite human slave who had spent a bomb the previous day. She instantly became invigorated and joyfully exclaimed, "Aiyo, it is actually my dear guest! What are you here to buy today?"

  A bright light flashed in the eyes of the staff as she looked forward to Bai Luochu spending money.

  She saw Bai Luochu shaking her head, "I am not here to buy things. Instead, I am here for some information. If you are able to provide me information I'm satisfied with, I won't be stingy. After all, this money is going straight into your pockets and there is no need to waste your saliva on the tiny commission you will get from selling the items in the shop."
