**Chapter 26: To Make a Horse Run, You Must Feed It...**
"This Medicinal Pill... where... where did you get it?!"
Ma Xiaotao gripped Bai Zhou's shoulders, her entire being trembling with excitement. She wanted nothing more than to drag the alchemist who had concocted this pill into a dark room and force them to mass-produce it!
This pill was simply too miraculous, practically tailor-made to suppress her Demonic Fire!
Its only flaw was its lack of lasting effect. She could feel the icy energy within it steadily depleting. In about five or six days, her Demonic Fire would flare up again, requiring another dose.
That's why she *had* to find the source of this pill, to eliminate any future worries!
"Sister Xiaotao... Senior Sister Xiaotao, the origins of this pill are... mysterious. I'm not sure I should reveal them..." Bai Zhou glanced at the gathering students, feigning hesitation.
"Alright, come with me!"
Ma Xiaotao acted swiftly, scooping Bai Zhou into her arms and soaring into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.
"What are you doing... Don't hold me so tight..." Bai Zhou protested, his voice muffled against her.
High above, Ma Xiaotao glanced down at Bai Zhou clinging to her, feeling a strange sensation...
This caused her flight path to waver slightly, and a peculiar blush crept across her fair, delicate face.
"Senior Sister Xiaotao, I'm afraid of heights," Bai Zhou mumbled, occasionally gasping for air.
"You..." Ma Xiaotao strongly suspected the boy was doing this on purpose, but she had no proof.
Besides, she had dragged him up here herself. Now over Sea God Lake, she couldn't just drop him—after all, Bai Zhou held the secret to the Profound Ice Pill. She couldn't afford to let anything happen to him.
Ma Xiaotao's speed was remarkable. In less than a minute, she landed smoothly and pulled Bai Zhou into a clean, secluded courtyard.
***
"This is my residence. No one dares to approach it. Now you can tell me," Ma Xiaotao said, her voice brimming with impatience.
Bai Zhou hadn't expected Ma Xiaotao to drag him straight to her private chambers...
Seeing her eagerness, Bai Zhou decided not to hold back, lest he anger her.
"This Profound Ice Pill is a product of my Martial Soul. My Martial Soul is called the Wishing Tree. Originally, it could only conjure ordinary objects, but one day, to my surprise, I discovered that my Wishing Tree seemed to have mutated. Now it can conjure low-grade Medicinal Pills..."
Bai Zhou began weaving a wild tale, adding a "customized Medicinal Pill" effect to his Wishing Tree.
Though absurd, Martial Souls were known for their bizarre and varied nature. Any kind of Martial Soul could exist, so Ma Xiaotao naturally wouldn't suspect anything, especially since the Profound Ice Pill was undeniably real and effective.
"I see! I desperately need this kind of Medicinal Pill. Junior Brother, how many can your Martial Soul conjure in a day?" Ma Xiaotao pressed.
"Well..." Bai Zhou hesitated.
"Don't worry, just name your price. I'll pay for every pill. As long as you can provide me with a steady supply of Profound Ice Pills, I won't let you down." Ma Xiaotao thumped her chest, her face radiating boldness.
"It's not about the price," Bai Zhou said, spreading his hands in a gesture of helplessness. "My Martial Soul is the Wishing Tree, but it doesn't guarantee 100% wish fulfillment. The probability of condensing a Profound Ice Pill is extremely low—I can only produce one per month. This isn't something I can control; it's entirely up to luck."
Of course, Profound Ice Pills weren't actually that rare. If he could just "borrow" Wang Dong's luck every day, his wish fulfillment rate would be 100%.
But he couldn't reveal that secret. Otherwise, Ma Xiaotao would turn him into her personal wishing machine, locking him in a dark room to grant wishes for the rest of his life...
"What? Half a month...?" Ma Xiaotao's brow furrowed sharply at the news.
Since the Profound Ice Pill's effects only lasted five or six days, a month was far too long.
"Can't you speed up the process?" she asked, frowning.
"My Wishing Tree can grant wishes for others too," Bai Zhou explained. "Each person's luck varies, so the probability differs. My luck is rather poor, but Senior Sister Xiaotao, you're so beautiful—your luck must be much better. You could try making a wish yourself."
As he spoke, Bai Zhou summoned his Wishing Tree Martial Soul.
"You junior, you're quite the smooth talker~" Ma Xiaotao chuckled, covering her mouth with her hand.
"I'm just telling the truth," Bai Zhou replied earnestly.
Bai Zhou replied earnestly, "How do I make a wish? Do I just say it out loud?"
Ma Xiaotao changed the subject, looking Bai Zhou's Wishing Tree up and down.
"Yeah, just like making a wish on your birthday."
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao clasped her hands together and wished upon Bai Zhou's Wishing Tree, "Profound Ice Pill, Profound Ice Pill, I want a Profound Ice Pill!"
The next moment, Bai Zhou's Wishing Tree lit up with a white glow.
"Did it work?" Ma Xiaotao asked, her voice filled with excitement.
A moment later, a small bear-shaped cookie landed in Ma Xiaotao's palm.
Bai Zhou: ... (suppressing a laugh)
Ma Xiaotao: ...
"You bastard! I wanted a Profound Ice Pill, not a bear-shaped cookie! Did your Wishing Tree even go to school?" Ma Xiaotao threw the cookie away, clearly furious.
"Senior Sister Xiaotao, my Wishing Tree can grant wishes three times a day. You can try again..." Bai Zhou suggested.
Of course, Bai Zhou said this partly to prevent Ma Xiaotao from treating him like a wish-granting tool, so limiting the number of wishes was necessary.
"Profound Ice Pill, Profound Ice Pill! I want a Profound Ice Pill! PRO-FOUND! ICE! PILL!!" This time, Ma Xiaotao deliberately corrected her pronunciation to avoid any further misunderstandings.
The next moment, two bear-shaped cookies appeared in her hand.
Ma Xiaotao: ...
Ma Xiaotao refused to believe it was a fluke and made another wish, only to receive more bear-shaped cookies.
"Are you scamming me?! What Profound Ice Pill? There isn't even a real medicinal pill!" Ma Xiaotao, furious and feeling deceived, grabbed Bai Zhou by the collar.
"I told you, it's purely luck... That's just how my Martial Soul works. I can't help it..." Bai Zhou shrugged, feigning innocence.
Ma Xiaotao calmed down slightly, realizing he might have a point. After all, she had never heard of the Profound Ice Pill, nor had her teacher.
Creating such a miraculous medicinal pill could likely only be achieved by someone with a unique Wishing Tree Martial Soul like Bai Zhou's.
"Then your Wishing Tree is utterly useless! I've wished three times and still no Profound Ice Pill!" Ma Xiaotao huffed, completely ignoring the possibility that her own luck might be the problem.
Of course, even if Ma Xiaotao had the luck of the gods, she still wouldn't get another Profound Ice Pill. Bai Zhou had only drawn one, and currently, there was only one in the world—the one Ma Xiaotao had already swallowed.
After a moment's thought, Bai Zhou offered comfort: "It's okay, Senior Sister Xiaotao can come wish every day. If I wish once and you wish twice, we should be able to get another Profound Ice Pill. I believe in your luck, Senior Sister Xiaotao."
"Alright... I guess that's all we can do," Ma Xiaotao sighed. She had thought they were about to take off, but...
Still, a single Profound Ice Pill could last for several days, which was good news. At least it was far better than that useless Xu Sanshi, who couldn't even produce a drop of water.
Xu Sanshi: ...
"Oh, right, Junior Brother, I still don't know your name," Ma Xiaotao suddenly realized, asking with a hint of embarrassment.
*Bai Zhou: You finally remembered...*
"I'm Bai Zhou."
"Bai Zhou, please take care of me, Senior Sister Xiaotao."
Bai Zhou extended his hand, flashing a radiant smile.
"Mm, I'm Ma Xiaotao. Call me Sister Xiaotao from now on—it'll make us feel less like strangers. If you ever run into trouble at the academy, just mention my name. I'll have your back."
Ma Xiaotao patted Bai Zhou's head, clearly very pleased with him.
Not only was he handsome and articulate, but he also possessed the miraculous Wishing Tree Martial Soul. What an adorable junior brother!
After discussing the timing and location for future wishes, Ma Xiaotao scooped Bai Zhou up and once again crossed Sea God Lake...
Bai Zhou clung tightly to Ma Xiaotao, occasionally taking deep breaths to avoid suffocating.
Ma Xiaotao glanced at Bai Zhou, her cheeks flushed pink, but she didn't stop him.
After all, if you want your horse to run, you have to feed it.
Giving this adorable junior brother a little perk was something she didn't mind at all.
