The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 32

Chapter 32: Capital Peak Disciple

Of course Ling Xiao couldn’t go and steal the Tian Xin Sect’s soul training manual . That volume of soul training technique was kept on the highest level of the East Pavilion , guarded by Elders of the Tian Xin Sect that had retired to work behind the scenes. Each of those eccentrics had great strength. But this didn’t mean that he couldn’t get that volume of the soul training technique, it was just that if the soul training manual was stolen, there would definitely be a huge uproar in the Tian Xin Sect.

That volume of the soul training technique was deemed as a very important treasure for the Tian Xin Sect, so it was checked on frequently. Once the theft was discovered, the Tian Xin Sect would definitely suspect that there was a traitor within its ranks. Then that group of old guys would definitely appear from behind the scenes to examine each and every disciple. This would be very troublesome for him. Furthermore, You XiaoMo seemed to have quite a bit of secrets. So , stealing the soul training manual was a very bad move, he wouldn’t choose this method except as a last resort.

However, he had already told You XiaoMo that he would get him a volume of soul training techniques. As a trustworthy man, he must do what he said he would. Hence the next day, You XiaoMo learned from others that Ling Xiao had gone down the mountain.

Yesterday, after finishing their discussion, Ling Xiao stayed for a while before leaving with twenty magic pills. This left You XiaoMo with thirty magic pills. He felt that he could rely on selling these for money the next time he went down the mountain. Even though it was not a lot, it would at least stop his money bag from becoming flat.

As for why Ling Xiao went down the mountain, You XiaoMo unconsciously thought that he could be going to look for soul training techniques. He felt a little guilty in his heart, since Ling Xiao was helping him look for it , even though it obviously had nothing to do with him. But when he considered that after obtaining the soul training technique he would be able to refine even more magic pills, that guilty feeling slowly disappeared.

Holding the fifty magic pills he refined yesterday, You XiaoMo got ready to go to the Hall of Magic Herbs to turn them over and at the same time collect some magic herbs. The Hall of Magic Herbs stipulated that half of the magic pills from the previous batch of magic herbs must be turned over. If not, one would not be able to get more magic herbs.

There were one hundred and twenty types of level one magic herbs that could be made into forty types of magic pills. Up until now, You XiaoMo had refined three types of magic pills. Even though it was a long way from forty, and even though it was not necessary that he had to try all of them once, You XiaoMo decided that he would try to refine each one once. After all, Ling Xiao did say that uninterrupted practice was needed to increase soul force.

As before, the person in charge of the Hall of Magic Herbs was Zhao-shishu. Seeing him head over, he was no longer surprised. The bottle contained the usual fifty magic pills, not one more, not one less. Zhao-shishu didn’t bother to count, not worried that there may only be forty odd magic pills.

“How many stalks of magic herbs do you want this time?” Zhao-shishu asked without even raising his eyes.

“Six hundred stalks.” You XiaoMo hesitated a little before answering.

This was not a small number ; although one could refine two hundred level one magic pills from this number, very few disciples would take more than five hundred stalks at once. But Zhao Zhen knew this young man’s speed. He could refine more than one hundred magic pills in a day. So , six hundred stalks would only take two days.

Just when he was about to record the amount, You XiaoMo spoke up again, “Zhao-shishu, I have a request. I would like to get ingredients for ten types of magic pills, may I?”

You XiaoMo glanced at him and quickly lowered his head when he looked back at him. He knew that he was being a little unreasonable. Zhao Zhen finally looked at him properly, a little surprised but not extremely so, “You may.”

Saying this, he started to gather the six hundred stalks of magic herbs for him. Ten types of magic pills required thirty different types of magic herbs. He didn’t have that many, only half the amount, so Zhao-shishu allowed You XiaoMo to go get them from the medicine garden. The one who led him there was a disciple from the Hall of Magic Herbs, a disciple that entered the sect before him.

“You’re You XiaoMo?”

Walking one ahead and one behind, You XiaoMo suddenly heard the voice of the Shixiong. He was un sure if it was his imagination , but the Shixiong’s tone was quite unkind. It felt a bit like disdain, like he was talking someone that was unworthy.

You XiaoMo couldn’t make any heads or tails of it. It didn’t seem as if he had done anything to offend this Shixiong. Furthermore, he had always maintained a low profile with no reason to offend anyone. Most importantly, he had no recollection of this Shixiong. On top of that, when did he become so famous such that a Shixiong he didn’t recognize was able to call out his name?

The other party stopped in front of the entrance to the medicine garden. Turning around to face him and seeing the bewildered look on his face, he said, “Looks like you yourself are not aware. Now, everyone in the mage division knows of your existence. And they also know that Lin Xiao-shixiong from the Warrior Division embarrassed YunQi-shimei in front of everyone because of you. I also heard that Lin Xiao-shixiong went to look for you in the afternoon. What’s so great about you? Why would Lin Xiao-shixiong suddenly take an interest in you?”

You XiaoMo was dumbstruck. Not even a day had passed and it actually spread to this extent. It was too bad that he couldn’t say anything. If it was the previous Lin Xiao, he definitely wouldn’t have anything to do with him, but inside the shell of “Lin Xiao”, there was already a different person. Furthermore this person was very hateful, always taking delight in bullying him.

But in the eyes of the people in the Tian Xin Sect, Lin Xiao really did take a sudden interest in him. So it was impossible that there was no reason behind it.

After some thought, You XiaoMo questioned, “Shixiong, are you a Capital Peak disciple?”

There was an abrupt change in the expression of the other party. After giving You XiaoMo a glare, he turned around and left. After all, they had already reached the medicine garden.

You XiaoMo rubbed his nose. Those words were a little provocative, but he had no choice. Who asked him to be so aggressive? The bad relationship between Capital Peak and Heaven Peak was an open secret. This bit was clear from what he experienced at the Hall of Mages a little while back during the choosing of disciples. After that, You XiaoMo did some digging. Even though the relationship between the two Peaks was not as terrible as he imagined, they had always been locked in secret competition.

But Capital Peak was the one that lost terribly each time. That was because the good resources and good talent were all taken by Heaven Peak beforehand. This was also the reason why Kong Wen-shifu was always in closed-door cultivation , refusing to appear. As for Flying Peak, they were always stuck in the middle , ending up with not much brilliance , but also unlikely to end up at the bottom. So , they ended up being a passive observer.

There were specialized guards to look after the medicine garden. Each day there would be a few on duty. After entering, You XiaoMo handed over the thing that Zhao-shishu gave him to one of them. After taking a look, the other party simply gathered the remaining magic herbs for him.

Once he left the medicine garden, You XiaoMo headed directly back to his room.

Upon reaching his room, he didn’t immediately start to refine magic pills. Instead , he took out twenty white bottles from his magic bag. The twenty bottles were what he got from Zhao-shishu before leaving the Hall of Magic Herbs. Other than for storing the magic pills, he planned to use five bottles to hold water from the lake in his dimension.

Since this lake water could replenish his soul force and physical strength, You XiaoMo decided to prepare some in his magic bag, so he could use it at any time. This way, he wouldn’t have to go get it from the dimension when the time came.

With this intention in mind, his body soon appeared in his dimension. This was a result of his research after fumbling around for a day. As long as he wished it strongly in his mind, he didn’t need to touch the teardrop on his chest to get there.

It was just that before he could walk over, he was shocked by the sight of a huge expanse of lush green things in front of his eyes. He didn’t even realize that the bottles in his hand had dropped to the ground.
