Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Blood Exchange Realm

Taking off the ceremonial outfit took a lot less time than putting it on, and with four hands helping out, Xue Bai was soon freed from its shackles.

Free, Xue Bai changed into a piece of casual wear he fished from his closet.

"Young Master, what do you plan to do today," Xiao\'er asked curiously, anticipation oddly apparent in her eyes.

Xue Bai\'s itinerary today only had the birthday party on it. Besides that, Xue Bai had the day free.

"First, I need you to write and deliver a letter for me." Xue Bai said.

"Oooh, is it a love letter? Who is it to? Could it be Young Duchess Yan?" Xiao\'er, the ball of curiosity she was, immediately fired off half a dozen questions in response to Xue Bai\'s simple response.

Giving the chatterbox a flick on the forehead, Xue Bai answered, "No, you fool. I told you I don\'t like that girl. This letter is to a friend of mine. He got into an accident last week, and I want to send him a letter about it."

Holding her forehead in pain, Xiao\'er pouted with tears glistening in her eyes. Though Xue Bai didn\'t put much force into the flick, he had infused some Spiritual Qi into his fingers to make it sting.

"Don\'t look at me like that, you romantic. Get a scroll and transcribe what I\'m going to say." Xue Bai said, ignoring the maid\'s cry.

Wiping away her tears, Xiao\'er went to get a scroll and quill to transcribe Xue Bai\'s words.

"Brother Long, I heard about your accident. And I know you must be feeling a myriad of emotions currently, so I won\'t give you empty caring words or condolences; instead, I\'ll give you a gift. Along with this letter, I will send a simple treasure pill perfect for your situation. This pill\'s effects are simple, making it only a Middle Yellow Grade Pill. But It\'s specially made for people in your situation, people who have recently had their Dantian shattered." Xue Bai was going to continue speaking until he saw Xiao\'er tearing up.

Stunned, Xue Bai went to comfort her, thinking he had flicked her too hard.

"Xiao\'er, I\'m sorry I shouldn\'t have flicked you too hard." Xue Bai said as he rubbed her forehead.

Though Xiao\'er liked the feeling of being comforted, she moved away and shook her head.

"I\'m not crying from that. Your letter reminded me of what happened to that Huo Long boy. His story was so tragic." Xiao\'er said as she wiped her red eyes.

Xue Bai instantly felt like all of his care was wasted. Tempted to flick her again, Xue Bai decided not to and went back to speaking, so Xiao\'er could continue transcribing.

"What the pill does is take all of the residual Spiritual Qi in your body that scattered from when your Dantian was shattered, and strengthen your body, extending your lifespan. With the Realm you had before, you could live up to 200 years with the residual Spiritual Qi in your body. But I liked having you as a brother, and I hope you did the same. And if you have the same amount of pride in your bones, I know I saw two years ago. Then you won\'t eat it. But instead, bring it back to me."

"You will hear of my Martial Vein rank soon enough, and in about 18 months, I will join the Soaring Sword Sect. And if you don\'t fix your situation soon, then we won\'t meet again. But if you have the potential I saw those years ago, we will meet again, but until then, I will move on forward towards the peak."

"Xiao\'er, did you get all of that?" Xue Bai asked.

"Yes, Young Master, I got all of it." Xiao\'er nodded. "But I have a question. In the letter, you seemed so indifferent to his situation. Aren\'t you going to try and help him out? Huo Long was crippled, and he even came from a poor background. How is he going to fix his situation by himself?"

"Xiao\'er, sometimes helping a man out of trouble will do more harm than good. And this is one of those situations." Xue Bai answered indirectly.

Though Xiao\'er didn\'t understand what Xue Bai meant, she still nodded and stamped the scroll with the Duke\'s symbol.

"Young Master, do you want me to deliver it personally or just send a commander?" Xiao\'er asked.

"Hmm, Just send a commander. Who knows what chaos you\'d cause if you left home unattended." Xue Bai answered after thinking for a moment.

Xiao\'er did have plans of creating mischief outside but hearing Xue Bai say it aloud made her annoyed.

"I\'m not a toddler. I can control myself on an important trip!" Xiao\'er stomped her feet and humphed.

"You do know you\'re acting like one right now, right?" Xue Bai retorted.

Not bothering to respond, Xiao\'er blew a raspberry at Xue Bai and left the bedroom.

"That fool." Xue Bai said while shaking his head.

Though Xiao\'er had stopped trying to seduce Xue Bai in the past year, she was now trying to include herself in every part of his life.

Xue Bai knew that Xiao\'er was trying to make him depend on her so he wouldn\'t abandon her, so he let her.

But it all made Xue Bai feel weird. He had sworn on multiple occasions that he wouldn\'t abandon her. She was his closest companion in this world. So how could he just kick her to the curb? But she still continued to attach herself to him.

The only time Xiao\'er wasn\'t with him was when he was cultivating. Yet she still felt she could be tossed away.

"Women are complicated." Xue Bai sighed as he sat down cross-legged.

Xue Bai had been at the peak of the 8th stage of Blood Exchange Realm for almost a week now and planned to break through today.

The Blood Exchange Realm was a Realm made to purify the mortal Blood within the human body. Each stage purifies the Blood more and more by removing the impurities within.

Pulling out two different pills from his spatial ring Xue Bai started cultivating.

These two pills were a Blood Ignition Pill and a Blood Replenishing pill. Both of which were Low Yellow Grade Pills with simple functions.

The Blood ignition Pill did as its name said. It ignited the Blood of the person who swallowed it. And it gave the consumer a power boost but at the price of a long weakened period.

The Blood Replenishing Pill also followed its name and replenished the Blood within the person who consumed it. It was a healing pill usually used for people who had been stabbed and lost an excessive amount of Blood.

Though the pills were different and had different uses, when they were used together, they worked wonders for anyone in the Blood Exchange Realm.

The Baishen Plane\'s way to advance through stages in the Blood Exchange Realm was rather crude and slow.

Baishen Plane cultivators would slowly absorb Spiritual Qi and purify the Blood within your body. However, some players in "Children of the Plane" discovered a way to speed up cultivating in the Realm.

Using the Blood Ignition Pill, you could ignite away the Blood within your body and also indirectly ignite the impure Blood. And then following it up with the Blood ReplenishingPill, you could recover all of the lost Blood. And now, with Spiritual Qi in your bloodstream, no impure blood would be replenishing, speeding up your cultivation speed tenfold.

With this cheat code, Xue Bai was able to continue his heaven-defying cultivation speed and hopefully reach his goal of advancing to the Bone Strengthening Realm at 13 before the plot began.

The process of Xue Bai advancing his cultivation went smoothly, and after another hour, Xue Bai finally broke through to the 9th stage of the Blood Exchange Realm, but at a small cost.

"Ugh, I\'m covered in this impure blood again." Xue Bai muttered in disgust.

After every breakthrough in the Blood Exchange Realm with the cheat code, Xue Bai would have his skin covered in blackish Blood filled with impurities. As when using the Blood Ignition Pill, all of the ignited Blood would be released through his pores. But as the pure Blood within his body was hard to ignite and release, the impure Blood was usually the only thing left secreted out of his pores.

"Xiao\'er, are you back yet!" Xue Bai yelled out his window.

"Yes, Young Master, I\'m here!" Xiao\'er responded from the courtyard.

She had been back for about 10 minutes, but as Xue Bai was still breaking through, she sat by the pond and waited for him to exit himself.

"Xiao\'er, ready a bath. I broke through again." Xue Bai ordered.

Quick to comply, Xiao\'er readied Xue Bai\'s bath. And soon enough, Xiao\'er announced it was ready. Then, grabbing a set of clothes to change into, Xue Bai left his room.

Going into his bathroom, Xue Bai saw Xiao\'er sprinkling some crushed medicinal herbs into the bath water as she waited for him to arrive.

"Thanks, Xiao\'er. You can go now." Xue Bai spoke with a smile.

Smiling back at Xue Bai, Xiao\'er responded, "It\'s fine. I love to help you out, Young Master!"

Taking off his clothes, Xue Bai quickly jumped into the bath and began scrubbing off the impurities attached to his skin.

On the side, Xiao\'er took away his dirty clothes and took them away to take them to be cleaned.

After a few minutes of intense scrubbing, Xue Bai finally deemed himself to be clean enough to leave and hopped out of his now-dirty bath water to dry himself.

Summoning a fireball, Xue Bai easily dried himself before changing into a set of clothes he had prepared before.

As Xue Bai finished changing into his clothes, Xiao\'er came back into the room.

"Young Master, now what do you plan to do?" Xiao\'er once again asked, anticipation once again appearing on her face.

After hearing the question a second time and seeing the same anticipated look in her eyes, Xue Bai realized that the question wasn\'t targeted at him. So instead of answering truthfully, Xue Bai responded, "No, I don\'t have anything planned, Xiao\'er. Do you have anything planned to do?"

"Good! Then come and accompany me to Snowy Wind City. I want to go shopping." Xiao\'er spoke with a wide smile.

Putting out her hand, Xiao\'er began to walk out of the room.

Submitting himself to his fate, Xue Bai agreed, took her extended hand, and followed her.
