The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 123

Chapter 123: The Second Option

Fang ChenYue didn’t notice You XiaoMo’s strange condition and neither did Fu ZiLin because they strongly wished to have a powerful demon beast, especially Fu ZiLin. His eyes were already gleaming. He has always disliked the fact that he didn’t have the power to protect himself.

Although mages and practitioners had an interdependent relationship, in reality, this was not the only road for mages. They were also not required to take this road because they had a better option.

Demon beasts were a better option for them. Most of the famous mages would choose a demon beast, not a practitioner, to be their protector. There was a good saying: human hearts were unpredictable.

Sometimes, even the person who shared a pillow with someone would betray them, what more a person that is by one’s side only for some benefit. Rather than being worried and anxious every day, it would be better to choose to tame a demon beast.

Taming demon beasts was the second ability for mages. This ability was something only mages had because they had soul forces. That was why practitioners didn’t have the ability.

The most crucial key to taming demon beasts was the soul force. The more gentle and powerful the soul force, the higher the success rate. But this success rate was only applicable to relatively weaker demon beasts. Those stronger, higher level demon beasts, most of them would have awakened, making it harder.

So, the best way was to take advantage of the time before they awakened. That was the time before they grew into high level demon beasts. Only this way would one be able to tame high level demon beasts.

When the demon beasts were tamed, the imprint of the mage’s soul force would be left inside the demon beast’s body. This type of imprint could restrict the demon beast, not allowing them to turn against the mage. Therefore, it was much better than taking a practitioner as a partner. The mages could almost not worry about being betrayed.

But it was not as if one could get it just because they wanted it because only high level mages could tame high level demon beasts. That was why the majority of those that had high level demon beasts in Long Xiang Continent were high level mages.

Also, not all high level mages could have a high level demon beast. Due to issues with the bloodline, high level demon beasts had a difficult time producing progeny, unlike the flood of low level demon beasts.

But You XiaoMo didn’t know these things because the manuals and things relating to mages taming demon beasts were located on the third floor of the library and he still didn’t have the authority to go to the third level.

The only time he went there, he only had four hours. Basically no time for him to look at other books. Furthermore, there were so many books in there so even if he wanted to look for it, there was no guarantee that he would be able to find them within the stipulated time.

After calming down, You XiaoMo continued with his questions, “Da Shixiong, what about those techniques and weapons? Can it be that the Paradise Realm can produce techniques and weapons on its own?”

“Of course not.” Fang ChenYue laughed in amusement at his words.

Techniques and weapons were made by men. Of course they couldn’t just appear.

“The Paradise Realm is actually a small world. Legend has it, in ancient times, a powerful person with divine power opened up this dimension. He groomed a lot of mages and practitioners in there. Then something must have happened that caused them to die. That powerful person also seemed to have suffered a downfall. But these were all guesses. Until now, no one knows what really happened.”

Speaking of dimensions, You XiaoMo unconsciously thought of Ling Xiao’s dimension.

Speaking truthfully, that day when they left HunJi City, Ling Xiao really gave him a shock. He had no idea that Ling Xiao actually had a dimension. On top of that, the dimension was much bigger than his, simply no end in sight.

Talking about the differences, it had to do with the lake and magical creatures. His dimension had a lake with spiritual water. Ling Xiao’s dimension didn’t have that but it had magical creatures. Also the concentration of spiritual energy was very high, definitely a precious place for training and growing magic herbs.

Only then did You XiaoMo understand why Ling Xiao was not interested in his dimension because his dimension was bigger than his by who knew how many times. So before, he was only worrying for nothing. As for why Ling Xiao had a dimension, this idiot when it comes to practitioners also had no idea. He only assumed that Ling Xiao was just lucky like him for having a personal dimension.

“Da Shixiong, when will that Paradise Realm open up?” You XiaoMo asked full of hope.

“According to the information, the Paradise Realm will open up in three months time. If Xiao Shidi wants to go, you have to seize the time to train.” Fang ChenYue knew that he was interested so he didn’t hide the truth from him. After all, this matter was known by everyone in the Tian Xin Sect. It was only this Xiao Shidi that loved to go into closed-door cultivation that didn’t know.

Three months was actually a very long time. You XiaoMo thought it would be half a month or one month.

But Fang ChenYue’s last words made him very anxious, so he asks, “Da Shixiong, why do I have to intensify my training? Can it be that I couldn’t go?”

Fang ChenYue saw that he was very anxious and agitated so he consoled him, “You don’t have to be anxious, Xiao Shidi. Actually, it is not as if you have absolutely no chance of going. According to the long standing rules of the Tian Xin Sect, only level three mages have the right to advance. That is to say, if you want to go, you have to become a level three mage in these three months.”

You XiaoMo immediately heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Thank goodness. Although he was not a level three mage now, three months was enough time. He was certain that he would have a breakthrough in this short time.

“Xiao Shidi, you don’t have to be disheartened. You still have three months. Although it is a little tight, but if you try your best, Da Shixiong is confident that you will succeed. When the time comes, Da Shixiong will help you convince Shifu to give you a spot…” Fang ChenYue saw that he was neither happy nor sad so he thought that he must be upset. So he simply promised a spot for him. There was something that he didn’t reveal to him. That was, even if he became a level three mage, it didn’t mean that he would definitely get to go because there were too many people that wanted to go. Therefore, Capital Peak only had six spots.

He and ZiLin would definitely take two spots because they were the hope of Shifu, so Shifu would definitely give two of the spots to them. But it was not the same for Xiao Shidi. He could feel that Shifu didn’t really like Xiao Shidi. The remaining four spots were so precious, Shifu would definitely not give it to Xiao Shidi.

“I’ll help you get it.” Right at this moment, the one that was silent all along, Fu ZiLin cut off Fang ChenYue’s words. The two of them looked at him in surprise only to see Fu ZiLin speaking seriously to You XiaoMo, “I owe you a favor for the matter with Yun Shui peak. I will help you get this spot from Shifu as a repayment of that favor.”

“ZiLin, let’s ask Shifu together.” Fang ChenYue shook his head helplessly. He knew that ZiLin took this favor he owed to Xiao Shidi very seriously, so he didn’t argue with him. But it was still safer if they both asked together. After all, the spots for the Paradise Realm were very important. The other two Shishus also had a lot of disciples under them.

Fu ZiLin didn’t object, clearly tacitly agreeing to his words. He probably thought the same way as Fang ChenYue.

As the person concerned, You XiaoMo felt ashamed upon hearing this. He thought that he only had to become a level three mage. Looked like there was a name list but he suddenly thanked his lucky stars because Second Shixiong owed him a favor.

You XiaoMo felt a little guilty…

You XiaoMo left his two seniors at Capital Peak’s square and hurried back to his room.

Although he regretted not being able to see Ling Xiao, but after getting such important information, he didn’t have the mood to think about other things. Thinking that in this short period of time no one should be looking for him, he simply went into his dimension.

The magic herbs in the dimension were only planted two days ago but they had already sprouted.

You XiaoMo took one look and then headed straight for the small wooden hut by the lake. The first thing he saw upon entering was that level eight demon beast egg he put on the table.

You XiaoMo walked over and held the demon beast egg in his hands. Looking it over, he suddenly cried out in surprise.

He was not sure if it was his imagination, but he felt that the outer shell of this demon beast egg seemed to be brighter. At that time, the shell of the demon beast egg was ash gray in color. Appearing as if it was shrouded with a heavy lifeless air, as if the egg was already dead. Now, separated by a layer of shell, he could actually feel the heartbeat coming from inside the egg. Strong and powerful, as if it was growing pretty well.

The presence of a heartbeat, did it mean that the small demon beast would soon hatch?

Since he didn’t have much knowledge of demon beasts, You XiaoMo was puzzled. Looked like he had to increase his knowledge on demon beasts. Speaking of that, he had already read quite a lot of books from the second level of East Pavilion. Yet he still hadn’t found any books on demon beasts. Could they be in the West pavilion?

Actions were better than words, so You XiaoMo immediately put down the egg in his hand and left the dimension.

Due to the theft that happened a few days ago, when You XiaoMo arrived at the library, he saw a group of silver-armored guards patrolling all over the library.

When he got close, the silver armored guard on the side stopped him. Luckily he didn’t send him away. Knowing that he was Capital Peak Shifu’s disciple, and that he wanted to go to the second level of the library, he allowed him through.

Walking into the library, that old man was sitting upright at the table. Seeing him, he didn’t just throw the tablet at him like before. Instead he first warned him not to stay too long in the library before giving him the tablet.

You XiaoMo knew what he meant so he nodded before taking the tablet and heading for the West Pavilion.
