Xu Qiu hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time.
He originally thought Tier Four was his limit, unable to rise any further.
But after drinking this bowl of broth, his previously stagnant Blood Qi surged significantly, making him ecstatic.
He could feel it.
His body's strength couldn't keep up with the growth of Blood Qi.
The Blood Qi that had just increased was far from the limit.
But his body could only withstand so much of the Blood Qi increase.
It was like a kettle unable to hold an entire pond, the excess water could only be left to spill away.
A little more.
It might backfire, causing negative effects.
Such a magical broth...
Xu Qiu looked at the Pig-head man with a gaze filled with suspicion and wonder.
The other calmly explained:
"Since it's a game, of course, there's punishment and reward.
Six bowls of broth.
Only one is poisonous.
The remaining five all have different beneficial effects.
This is a broth I've carefully brewed.
Ordinarily, you wouldn't get to enjoy it. It's fate that you encounter me, heh heh."
With Xu Qiu testing the broth by himself.
The remaining people, although still worried, were not as hesitant or indecisive as at the start.
Five bowls of broth remained.
Because one person didn't have to drink.
The other three drank the broth in turn.
None of the three encountered any issues, each receiving various benefits.
They all had good luck.
Baiyu, as the last unlucky guy, stood in front of the kitchen counter.
Looking at the two identical bowls of broth before him, Baiyu thought slightly, and roughly made up his mind.
He walked to the kitchen counter.
Picked up both bowls of broth and drank them down together.
Gulping.
As the broth went down his throat, the group behind him was dumbfounded.
This...
"Chief Bai, you shouldn't!
Why choose to seek death like this?
Even though we're now in dire straits, there's still a chance to get out!"
Xu Qiu hurried over.
This man, who usually didn't like to speak much, was so agitated, it showed how outlandish Baiyu's actions were.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Baiyu shook his head, putting down the bowls in his hands.
A warm current spread from his throat, swiftly flowing throughout his body, making him feel extremely warm.
Then.
A sensation of cold and heat rose within his body.
The Blood Qi, already at the Peak of Tier Six, surged at once, breaking through the shackles to reach Tier Five.
Even so, it didn't stop.
Baiyu's body, tempered to be extremely formidable, had a solid foundation, possessing greater resilience than many martial artists of the same tier or even higher.
After breaking through to a Tier Five Martial Artist.
The growth of his body's Blood Qi didn't stop, heading towards Tier Four.
Twenty thousand calories, twenty-five thousand calories, thirty thousand calories...
It continued to surge until reaching forty thousand calories of Blood Qi before stopping.
The burning sensation within his body slowly dissipated.
The boiling Blood Qi calmed down.
Baiyu's Blood and Qi Central Hub thundered, the filled Blood Qi roiled like a tsunami, bursting forth with mountain-splitting power.
This was just the effect of one bowl of broth.
The other bowl.
Caused his Spirit to grow constantly.
Although the process was not particularly pleasant.
In the end, Baiyu took a moment to glance at the attribute panel in the Scholar Space.
Blood Qi, forty thousand calories.
Spirit, five thousand Pascals.
As his Spiritual Power exceeded five thousand Pascals, and Blood Qi surpassed forty thousand calories.
Baiyu also felt some different power emerging from the Blood Qi, likely the result of his growing strength causing changes in his body.
However, he couldn't tap into it just yet.
"Phew... It seems none of the six bowls of broth were poisonous."
Baiyu let out a deep breath, looking at the Pig-head man opposite him, sincerely saying, "Thank you."
The Pig-head Butcher slammed a cleaver onto the cutting board with a snap, cheerfully said, "Meeting makes us destined, no need to thank."
After speaking.
He rolled up his sleeves, picked up two cleavers, and while chopping meat said:
"I've set up a Spirit Array around the kitchen, the noise here can't be heard outside.
Today, I'm here specifically to eliminate this Spirit Realm Tide.
Once the action starts, be careful, I can't ensure your safety.
By the way, I'm called Butcher.
You can also call me the Crimson Immortal."
While chopping meat and adding various seasonings to the pot, he said to the six people, "This is one of the Spirit Realm Tidal Worlds of the Mirage King.
He's the deity owning the most Tidal Worlds.
Thus, dealing with it is quite troublesome."
The few listened, completely at a loss.
The Spirit Realm Tide was too remote for ordinary people.
Even Xu Qiu, the seasoned old captain of the Anomaly Bureau, had never encountered it.
Only Baiyu had some understanding in this area.
Hearing this powerful extraordinary being seemingly willing to divulge some information regarding this, Baiyu naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.
"What is the Tidal World?"
He humbly asked.
The Butcher, without turning his head, added various peculiar seasonings to the pot, and said in a low voice, "Do you know the Dream Realm?
If you don't know the Dream Realm.
Then even if I explain, you won't understand."
"I know a bit."
"Then I can tell you."
The Butcher turned around, grinning with his pig-mouth, "In this world, the largest Tidal World is the Dream Realm."
Once the Butcher started speaking.
Baiyu wasn't particularly affected.
But those around him, like Xu Qiu, were completely still as if immobilized by a spell.
"Their Spirit is too low, never having been exposed to the Dream Realm, hearing these things won't benefit them at all.
I've temporarily suppressed them."
The Butcher explained briefly, continuing, "The so-called Tidal World exists apart from the real world, standing in illusion.
Just like the tides, they appear and disappear at any time.
This is why it's called a Tidal World.
We are currently in a small Tidal World."
"Are you saying, Spirit Realm Tides are each small worlds?"
Baiyu, with no problem accepting and understanding, immediately thought of this.
"Your Human Race calls them Spirit Realm Tides, which isn't wrong, because Canglan Star does not naturally produce Tidal Worlds.
The Canglan Star world is too stable.
Unlike the Spirit Realm, which has long been eroded by extraordinary power.
Coupled with various reasons, it's prone to creating Tidal Worlds.
Natural Tidal Worlds struggle to exist for long.
Like ocean spray, they vanish in a flash, unable to birth any entities within.
However.
Tidal Worlds artificially created by powerful extraordinaries.
As long as the extraordinary doesn't die and they maintain strength, the Tidal World will continue to exist."
The Butcher explained clearly.
Baiyu listened without any obstacles.
"You said the Dream Realm is the largest Tidal World, how does that work?"
After understanding the concept of Tidal Worlds, Baiyu recalled this phrase and couldn't help but ask.
"The reason is simple.
The Dream Realm is composed of many Tidal Worlds.
The Dream Realm was born from the Aurora.
And the Aurora is the origin of all extraordinary things.
The most powerful deity in the Dream Realm, the lord of all deities, the original Sun, descended from the Aurora!"
