The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 19

Chapter 19: Before Going Down the Mountain

When You XiaoMo went to submit his work, the disciple that recorded the results was very surprised. Forty level one magic pills. For a new disciple, this number was quite amazing. But because they were low grade magic pills, he only needed to hand over half. The other half was his to keep. The Tian Xin Sect definitely did not lack level one magic pills. Especially low grade magic pills, because even if they were to sell them, they wouldn’t bring in much money. Today, You XiaoMo’s gains were twenty level one magic pills and ten merit points.

Level one magic pills was not worth much to the Tian Xin Sect. But for You XiaoMo, it was a valuable opportunity. Yesterday, after he figured out that he could plant magic herbs in the blue teardrop dimension, an idea formed in his head. He planned to grow level two magic herbs in that space but he needed seeds. Capital Peak collected all types of magic herb seeds, but because he was a brand new probationary disciple, if he were to act rashly, he would only attract attention. You XiaoMo didn’t want to risk exposing his dimension, so he was left with buying seeds from the foot of the mountain.

But buying seeds required the Long Xiang Continent currency. Before this, he had rummaged through all of “You XiaoMo”‘s belongings. Surprisingly, he only had two sets of clothes and nothing else, leaving him feeling depressed. No money meant he had to first make it. The day before he was fretting over this. He never thought that he would get this opportunity. So, You XiaoMo decided that two days later, he would apply for the permission to go down the mountain.

In the evening, You XiaoMo didn’t go carry water for his bath. This time, he just headed straight for the lake in his dimension. He was also not worried that other people would suspect him, because there were many here that didn’t take baths for two months.

Upon entering the dimension, You XiaoMo was not in a hurry to take a bath. Yesterday, he tired himself out to the point of death clearing a ten meter square plot. Although the area was not small, since there were many types of magic herbs, he would definitely need more land soon. So, You XiaoMo carried on with his huge weeding project. That night, he cleared a big patch of land before taking a bath.

The next day, You XiaoMo headed to the stone room as usual. The other four disciples were already there. Although they gave him unpleasant looks, they didn’t say any hurtful words because Da Shixiong had also arrived , just a few steps behind You XiaoMo.

Seeing You XiaoMo, Fang ChenYue smiled, “Xiao Shidi, I already heard from Wu- Shidi. Good job. Worthy of my acknowledgement of you.”

Hearing this, the delight You XiaoMo felt from seeing him immediately dropped to half. Yet another one trying to get him into trouble. When Da Shixiong said those words, he clearly felt the surrounding atmospheric pressure plummet.

“Da Shixiong, there is something I need your help with. Is this a convenient time?” You XiaoMo tried his best to ignore the other four disciples.

“What is it?” Fang ChenYue asked.

“I would like to go down the mountain in two days. May I ask for permission now?”

Thinking it was something serious, Fang ChenYue smiled saying, “So it was this matter. That’s quite simple. If you want to go down the mountain, you just have to ask Wu- Shidi. He is in charge of this area. But since you have just arrived, you can only stay one night. After that, you must return.”

You XiaoMo didn’t expect that it would be someone he knew. Praising heaven and earth, he thanked Da Shixiong.

“Da Shixiong, there’s one more thing. That is… May I take this cauldron back with me?” You XiaoMo looked at the level one cauldron on the stone platform, with a gleam in his eyes. If he had the money, he would buy one for himself at the foot of the mountain.

Fang ChenYue was stunned but soon nodded, “You may.”

Level one cauldrons were not a precious things, easily bought from outside. Furthermore, Xiao Shidi was asking to increase his training on his own accord. He felt extremely happy. After all, it was someone he personally trained.

After getting a positive answer, You XiaoMo was delighted. His success rate in refining magic pills was just as high as before, but the grade was still unchanged. Although the magic herbs provided by the Hall of Magic Herbs were not the best, if the magic herbs were distilled multiple times, even if the grade stayed the same, the associated risk of the magic pill would be reduced considerably. But You XiaoMo didn’t want to stand out, so he purposely only distilled the magic herbs once. But, once in a while he would make a pill that had been distilled multiple times. The pill still had the same color so as long as no one looked too closely, he wouldn’t be found out. Like this, the time slowly trickled by while he was refining magic pills.

Just when the last disciple left the room, You XiaoMo finally finished the last magic pill. Wiping off his sweat, he saw that he refined ninety level one magic pills today. More than twice from the day before. Maybe it was because he was now more familiar with the process, so his speed also increased considerably. You XiaoMo tidied up and brought the magic pills to Zhao-shishu.

Zhao-shishu’s full name was Zhao Zhen and he was in charge of recording the distribution of magic herbs and collection of magic pills of everyone in Capital Peak. The day before, You XiaoMo came here to submit his magic pills, and he had had left an impression on Zhao Zhen. This probationary disciple had submitted twenty level one magic pills yesterday. A success rate of a hundred percent, that in his records, was only achieved by five people in the whole of Capital Peak. Of course, it was a Capital Peak record for a disciple refining magic pills for the first time.
