The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 121

Chapter 121: Greatest Fortune

Since he apologized very earnestly with a good attitude, Yang-shixiong and company felt that they shouldn’t say any more. After all, his backing was not any ordinary person. They could only drop the matter. They left after saying a few sentences asking him to be more careful.

After sending them off, You XiaoMo heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t expect that he would attract so many people’s attention the very first time he trained. Looked like he had to be more careful from now on. Once would probably not cause too much suspicion. But if it kept happening, it would be a problem.

Although he didn’t know what it was like to practice the Tian Xin Sect’s soul training technique, the difference between the two volumes of techniques was very large. The result must also be very different. Therefore, things like what happened today, it was best if it never happened again.

But he underestimated the nosiness of the disciples. Not long after, him causing the upheaval of the spiritual energy, moving heaven and earth from his training, spread throughout Capital Peak.

It seemed as if everyone was talking about this matter. The moment people started to gather, the gossiping would begin.

Quite a lot of people started to compare You XiaoMo to Fang ChenYue and Fu ZiLin. When they had practiced that volume of soul training techniques, they definitely did not cause such an exaggerated phenomenon. It must be known that being able to move the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while training was the greatest fortune.

That was why everyone was having a deep discussion whether You XiaoMo did some other thing. Otherwise, something that even Da Shixiong and Second Shixiong couldn’t accomplish, how was it that he could?

But there were no lack of people that thought that You XiaoMo was just lucky.

As a result, that very afternoon, You XiaoMo was summoned by Kong Wen.

At first, he didn’t know that his matter had already spread. He only realized when Kong Wen told him. Looked like the matter this morning already spread so rampantly.

But he didn’t panic. After that happened in the morning, he already prepared an excuse to deal with people. He didn’t expect that the first one he would be using the excuse on was his Shifu.

The so-called excuse was actually acting stupid.

No matter what Kong Wen asked, he acted clueless. As a result, nothing definite came from his questions.

Kong Wen saw that he seemed to really not know anything, so he could only chalk it up to good fortune because he indeed had heard of these kind of things happening. It was possible for some people with good luck to stir up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while training. It was just that he didn’t expect this greatest of fortunes to actually happen to this disciple whom he never thought much of.

It was too bad that it was too late for him to say anything now. Kong Wen sighed while attributing it to a twist of fate.

After leaving Kong Wen, You XiaoMo didn’t go anywhere else, heading straight back to his room.

On the way, he came across a few disciples, male and female. The females were still fine but their gazes were full of curiosity and questions. On the outside, they appeared like dainty and delicate demure maidens but the reality was they were nothing like that at all.

You XiaoMo realized that only after ten days of becoming a disciple of Capital Peak.

There had always been fewer female disciples than male disciples. It was the same for the Warrior and Mage divisions. Among ten, there would only be two. Sometimes, only one. It was because of this that the Tian Xin Sect had an excess of yang and a shortage of yin.

t/n: yang represents man, and yin represents woman.

Due to imbalance of yin and yang, the female disciples were very much sought after. On top of that, the male disciples would unconsciously take care and give in to those relatively weaker female disciples. So a few of the female disciples had been pampered such that they were now all rather coy and spoiled.

You XiaoMo witnessed it before. A few male disciples coming to blow over a rather pretty female disciple.

But what shocked him was that female disciple not only did she not stop them, she poured oil on the flames from the side. And then there were those that couldn’t differentiate between green, red, black or white before beating people up. After beating people up, they still felt that they were in the right, their pampered and willful character in full display.

This type of character, was not something he, as a puny little mage, could stomach. So, seeing their gentle, delicate and bashful appearance, he felt like his teeth were aching. Those that didn’t know the reality would never imagine that they were all, each and every one of them, female tigers that were ready to bite.

This kind of situation, he had seen many times before. From then on, he gave up on the demure maidens of the Tian Xin Sect.

After returning to his room, You XiaoMo rest for a bit. When his essence, energy and spirit reached the peak, he took out that inferior cauldron.

He put the Jin Ming Cauldron in his dimension. If he couldn’t guarantee the he would definitely not be discovered by others, he wouldn’t bring out that cauldron for now. Otherwise, he didn’t know how he would be able to explain away other people’s suspicions.

Also, this time, he no longer dared to lock the windows and door tightly. This was to prevent the neighboring disciples from thinking that he was up to something again. If that got out, he would have to explain himself to Kong Wen again.

This time, he simply put the cauldron on the floor and sat down cross-legged, getting ready to refine magic pills on the floor.

You XiaoMo took out the magic herbs that he got from the Hall of Magic Herbs half a month ago from his magic bag. Four hundred and fifty stalks altogether. He took them all out and arranged them one by one at the side.

Although low quality magic herbs were not good, they were actually very good for practice because there were a lot of impurities, and the number of distillations could only be more, not less. It was just right to practice his distillation skill.

Speaking of distillation, You XiaoMo remembered one thing. Now he could at most distill the magic herbs four times. But a few months ago, he did manage to distill the magic herbs with a record of five times. But that time, it caused his soul force to be on the point of depletion. If Ling Xiao hadn’t come over at just the right time, who knew what frightful things would have happened.

After Ling Xiao warned him, he actually didn’t try to risk it again.

But at that time, it was not long after he just entered the Tian Xin Sect. His soul force wasn’t very abundant. Also, that was before he practiced the Heavenly Soul Scripture. Now it was different. He was already a level two mage. His soul force was also much stronger than it was then. So if he didn’t do it now, then when would he be able to!

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo decided to give it a try.

You XiaoMo selected three stalks out of all the magic herbs. They were Soul Herb, White Spiritual Herb, and Feathered Kale. These three magic herbs could be used to refine a magic pill known as the Ice pill. Taking this type of magic pill would allow one to increase one’s power. But the increase was not much, so each time, the quantity taken must be more, not less.

But the Ice pill was only effective on Earth level practitioners. Once they break through the Earth level, the Ice pill would no longer have an effect on them.

Even though it was like that, the number of practitioners in Long Xiang Continent were as many as the hairs on a cow. So there was no need to worry that there wouldn’t be a market for Ice pills because low level practitioners could be found everywhere.

After transferring his soul force into the cauldron, You XiaoMo threw the three magic herb stalks inside.

Under his skillful actions, the three stalks of magic herbs transformed into three pools of green liquid. Then he started to remove the impurities bit by bit from the green liquid. After four times, the green liquid started to get purer and purer. But You XiaoMo could detect that the green liquid still contained impurities. Taking a deep breath, he started to perform the fifth round of distillation.

Time seemed to pass very slowly. By the time he finished the fifth round of distillation, he actually didn’t feel the least bit tired. The amount of soul force consumed was also just a little?

The fifth time was already a qualitative leap because the remaining impurities in the green liquid was down to two to three percent. For a low quality magic herb, this percentage was already inconceivable. Many people wouldn’t be able to achieve that even if they spent their whole lives trying.

Although You XiaoMo wanted to try distilling the sixth time, his soul force told him that this was already the limit. Not the limit for him, but the limit for the magic herb. He wouldn’t be able to remove the remaining impurities no matter what he tried.

But he didn’t feel disheartened. Being able to distill five times easily, he felt that this was already very good. So he started to blend the magic pill…

The wholly absorbed You XiaoMo didn’t realize that when he started to blend the magic pill, a black shadow suddenly appeared outside his window. A pair of jet black bottomless eyes took in the situation inside the room from a crack at the window. The black shadow only vanished when he finished blending the magic pill and looked up beaming.

The whole afternoon, You XiaoMo tried out all sorts of level two magic pills.

Maybe because he practiced the Heavenly Soul Scripture in the morning, he actually only took a few sips of spiritual water before finishing refining several hundred stalks of magic herbs. But because the number of distillation rounds increased, by the time he finished one hundred and fifty magic pills, it was already the next morning.

Feeling tired, You XiaoMo didn’t drink spiritual water. He hastily tidied up his things before taking a few magic pills to stave off the little bit of hunger. Then he stood up and got on his bed to catch up on sleep.

Right before falling into dreamland, the last thought You XiaoMo had was that these magic pills should be enough to last Ling Xiao a few days, right?

This one sleep lasted for almost six hours, only waking up when it was three o’clock in the afternoon.

If it was during his previous life, when he was living as a student in the twenty first century, he definitely wouldn’t have imagined that there would be a day when he lived with inverted nights and days. For a good student like him, he would normally be asleep in the bed by ten at night.

But now, he felt that he was slowly breaking away from the habits of humankind.

After half an hour, You XiaoMo prepared to go find Ling Xiao while holding several bottles of magic pills.

After coming back for two days, Ling Xiao still hasn’t come to find him. So he decided to go look for him himself and give him the magic pills that he refined. Of course, he would never admit that he was going to look for him because he missed him a little…

If Ling Xiao found about this thought, he would definitely be very happy because the plan he put in motion was a success.
