The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 148

Chapter 148 : Changes in the Dimension

The following days passed with calm winds and gentle waves. Although Tang YunQi said those kind of words, You XiaoMo didn’t see her again. He also didn’t hear anything about her going to find Ling Xiao and such. But he also hadn’t seen Ling Xiao since then.

Later, he heard that Tang Fan gave him an assignment so he was very busy, no shadow of the man almost every day. It was clear how busy he was. You XiaoMo guessed that probably either Tang YunQi or Xiao Long went to complain to Tang Fan. So in order to not let Ling Xiao have the time to come find him, Tang Fan gave him these assignments.

But these were all what happened later.

Returning to Capital Peak, You XiaoMo first went to find Zhao DaZhou, and chatted with him for about half an hour before returning to his room.

Not being around for a few days, the whole room was covered in a thin layer of dust. You XiaoMo picked up a basin and went outside to fetch water. It only took him a while to wipe the desk, chair, and cupboard clean. After coming back from throwing out the water, he entered his dimension.

Just as he opened the door to the little wooden hut, a white figure threw itself at him.

You XiaoMo lowered his head and took a look. Little PiQiu was looking at him with an aggrieved expression, blinking his pair of red eyes while whimpering softly, trying to make him feel guilty.

You XiaoMo’s mouth twitched as he was determined not to be fooled. If he lets PiQiu out, he would definitely trample on his magic herb fields again. He definitely would not let something that happened before happen once again.

Seeing that his master did not react, Little PiQiu bared his teeth at him.

You XiaoMo pretended not to see anything, putting him back on the floor. Then he took out a piece of Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep meat from his magic bag. Since the meat had yet to be cleaned, the small wooden hut was immediately filled with a faint bloody scent.

You XiaoMo didn’t mind it and put the meat into a wooden basin. He then took it into the simple and crude tiny kitchen.

Behind him, when he took out the piece of meat, Little PiQiu’s eyes immediately locked onto the piece of meat, not looking away again. That look was like having caught sight of his prey. Glaring like a tiger with a hint of savagery. Although he was still young, he was clear that when faced with his prey, the instinct was strong.

Seeing You XiaoMo walk away, little PiQiu followed quickly.

When You XiaoMo was building the small wooden hut, he did consider that he might want to cook, so he purposely left space for a small kitchen. Although the kitchen was small, it was fully equipped with pots, bowls, ladles, tubs, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, not lacking anything.

Since there wasn’t any ordinary water in the dimension, You XiaoMo simply used the spiritual water to rinse the meat. After cleaning it, he put it on the cutting board. He was in no hurry to cook for little PiQiu. He then took out a few things from his magic bag again. It was all things that he bought the last time he went down the mountain. There were all kinds of herbs, spices, sauces, and the like.

After placing all these in order one by one, You XiaoMo lifted the cleaver and cut the piece of Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep meat into eight pieces of about equal size. Then he put them one by one into the pot he had prepared. After boiling for a few minutes, he scooped it out again. Then he put it back in with all sorts of seasonings that he prepared into the pot and poured in some spiritual water. Putting on the cover, he prepared to increase the flame.

As someone who was used to the modern gas stove, You XiaoMo was not used to using a primitive firewood stove. It took quite a lot of effort to get a strong flame going and keep it going.

Although he had never cooked the meat of Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep before, he felt that it was similar to beef and the like. In order to make it soft and full of flavor, it needed to be cooked for a long time so he had to keep watch over it. This was rather troublesome.

You XiaoMo could actually cook other dishes. After all, he had lived by himself before for a period of time so it was unlikely that he couldn’t cook. But little PiQiu was a carnivorous animal. No matter how pretty he made the dishes, it wouldn’t appreciate it. So he simply made a pot of meat stew.

But, very quickly he got a taste of his ignorance.

He thought that a pot of Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep meat would take about the same time as a pot of beef, about two and a half hours, because there was quite a bit of meat. He didn’t consider that the Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep was a level eight demon beast. The meat of a level eight demon beast was not something that could be compared to beef. Although the meat was incomparably delicious, but because it was filled with spiritual energy, it couldn’t be cooked by ordinary fire…

After squatting down and cycling through many different positions, You XiaoMo finally realized that it was taking too long.

So, two hours later, when he opened the lid, he saw that the meat looked just as it did when he put it in two hours ago. He was totally speechless. The water was boiling. The spices and seasonings were all mixed up. But most importantly, there was no change at all in the meat.

Suffering a blow, You XiaoMo could only first extinguish the flame and then ponder where he had gone wrong.

After some difficulty, he figured out that it had something to do with the quality of the meat. It was a pity that he only had access to ordinary fire.

Right at this time, he felt that his pants were going to be pulled down. He hastily held onto them and looked down to see little PiQiu stuck on his pants, trying his best to climb upwards. His eyes were shining, fixed on the piece of meat in his hands.

You XiaoMo was silent for a moment before lifting up the cover of the pot and scooping the meat out. The moment he put down the plate, little PiQiu suddenly howled and rushed over, sticking his head right into the plate, eating up the raw meat with saliva splashing everywhere.

Although little PiQiu was born less than one month ago, its teeth were extraordinarily sharp, ripping up the meat of the Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep. Very quickly he polished off a huge chunk.

You XiaoMo took one look and didn’t look back again. As a human who had eaten cooked food for over ten years, he couldn’t accept eating raw meat. That was why he didn’t like to eat Japanese sashimi. The peculiar thing was, everyone else in his family liked it and it was only him that didn’t like it. He had always wondered about this.

No longer paying any attention to little PiQiu, You XiaoMo picked a few hundred stalks of magic herbs from the racks. He already hadn’t refined magic pills for a few days. In order to advance as quickly as possible, he had to practice regularly but before that, he sat down to meditate in the dimension while practicing the Heavenly Soul Scripture. He only left the dimension an hour later.

You XiaoMo went out and took a walk. He saw that the atmosphere in Capital Peak was about the same as before. Before returning, he asked about the whereabouts of Da Shixiong. Just as he expected, he was still at Yun Shui Peak. Since he was not able to meet with Da Shixiong, You XiaoMo could only go back to his room.

After laying out the few hundred stalks of magic herbs on the table, You XiaoMo started to refine level three magic pills. Ever since his first failure when he first started refining level three magic pills, You XiaoMo worked with determination to ensure that he maintained the glorious zero failure rate from before.

At that time, he didn’t know his real innate talent. He had thought that his success was due to his hard work. Now that he knew, he felt that he should maintain the zero failure record otherwise it would be an insult to his soul.

Even though that was how he felt, You XiaoMo still had some psychological burdens.

Once he had figured out his outstanding talent, he would think that he would have to perform the best, not allowing himself to fail. But since it was like this, the heart would be perturbed, and this would in turn make it easy to fail.

So, when the magic herbs in the cauldron failed for the second time during the blending step, You XiaoMo was thoroughly dumbfounded.

What the hell was the meaning of this? Why was it that after he found out his innate talent, his rate of failure for refining magic pills actually increased?

You XiaoMo pulled at his own hair with all his strength. He did know why he was continuously failing. The most important reason was that he was too agitated and he kept thinking that he must succeed and because of that, he couldn’t keep his focus. If he had known that it would be like this, he would rather never have found out about his own innate talent.

After struggling with it for a long time, You XiaoMo decided not to continue refining magic pills. Instead, he entered his dimension to practice the Heavenly Soul Scripture.

He had to calm down his heart. If not, no matter how good his innate talent, it would be ruined by him.

After closing his eyes, he quietly activated the Heavenly Soul Scripture. The pores on his body seemed to widen. The spiritual energy in his dimension rushed into his body following his pores, then poured into the space between his eyebrows. His soul seemed to expand until there was no space left for any more spiritual energy.

Right at this moment, You XiaoMo’s body suddenly shuddered. Then, a boundless soul force jet out of the space between his eyebrows, like a flood, causing waves of ripples to form on the calm water surface. Spreading out endlessly with him at the center…

It continued until his soul force filled up the whole dimension. Suddenly a change occurred at the previously calm center of the spiritual water lake. The center seemed to be boiling, as if something was about to break out at any moment, as if there was something that wanted to come out from the bottom of the lake. An instant later, a fist sized opening formed in the center of the lake like a bowl. A sky blue pearl was lying in the middle of the tiny groove.

A second later, this sky blue pearl appeared to be affected by some force, causing it to fly out from the groove, instantly turning into a piercing ray of light, shooting into the space between You XiaoMo’s eyebrows…

When the pearl disappears, an indistinct seal suddenly appeared in the space between You XiaoMo’s eyebrows. The seal shimmered a few times before disappearing.

An hour later, You XiaoMo finally opened his eyes. There was no longer any sign of fluctuating emotions in his eyes and it looked like he had at least calmed down. Although he wasn’t certain, he felt that his soul force seemed to have increased. Stretching out his right hand, he suddenly felt very attuned to his surroundings, as if he could sense each and every blade of grass and tree in his dimension.

He suddenly remembered that some of the magic herb fields were already matured. It should be time to harvest but thinking about digging them up one by one, he felt a little helpless. This process was really too time consuming. If the magic herbs could get up from the soil by themselves, and place themselves on the racks, that would be best.

The moment this thought flashed in his mind, a stalk of magic herb floated past his eyes. You XiaoMo was momentarily stunned, thinking that he must be seeing things, so he let it be. But when the nth stalk of magic herb floated past his eyes, he was finally dumbfounded.

Even if he was seeing things, it couldn’t be that he was seeing the same thing multiple times.

After being in a daze for about fifteen minutes, You XiaoMo finally stood up and ran towards the magic herb fields. Sure enough, there was suddenly a bare patch on the magic herb field where there used to be mature magic herbs. The soil also looked as if it had been tilled, loose and fluffy.

This…what exactly was going on?

After awakening from over two hours of practice, this kind of thing actually happened? It seemed too miraculous.

You XiaoMo was sure of one thing. This new capability wasn’t there before. So, most probably something he wasn’t aware of happened while he was practicing just now, bringing about this kind of thing.

Although it was totally unexpected, he couldn’t deny that this kind of ability was really too awesome!

With this kind of ability, You XiaoMo no longer had to worry about planting and watering the magic herbs. He only had to form the intention, and the dimension would help him carry it out. He had wanted to buy a few more demon beasts, but now, it looked like he no longer had to.

That was right, what happened to little PiQiu?

Just as the thought crossed his mind, a sweetly sleeping little demon beast curled up into a ball with a bulging belly appeared in front of him. Little PiQiu’s snow white belly was facing upwards as he snored very loudly.

But in this short span of time, You XiaoMo discovered that little PiQiu seemed to have grown bigger. Originally he was only the size of an adult head. Now he turned into the size of two adult heads. His shape was gradually breaking away from that of a young pup and his outer appearance was starting to take on the imposing look of an adult Blue-Blooded Wolf.

You XiaoMo looked at him with his mouth hanging open for quite a while. All sorts of strange things were happening today.

Although he didn’t know the reason, he could guess that it had something to do with the Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep meat that Little PiQiu ate. No wonder Ling Xiao liked the meat from this type of level eight demon beast. It looked like the meat of the Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep was really magical.

According to this trend, it wouldn’t take long before little PiQiu turned into big PiQiu.

Wrapped in excitement, You XiaoMo didn’t try to refine magic pills again for the day. He also wasn’t in the mood to refine magic pills.

Since the meat of the Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep could make little PiQiu grow up, he decided that during the two months before the Paradise Realm opened he would feed little PiQiu and turn it into big PiQiu. But because he didn’t have the requisite type of fire, he could only feed it raw meat.

After making this decision, the next day, You XiaoMo settled his emotions in order to refine magic pills.

This time, he no longer failed again. Maybe because he had a breakthrough in his emotional stability or his soul force, he felt that refining magic pills was going more smoothly than before.

Just like this, a span of two months passed in a blink of an eye.

This meant that Kong Wen’s time limit of two months was also up.
