The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 33

Chapter 33: Key Moment

He just planted the magic herbs the day before and surprisingly, they had all sprouted. Not only that, the level one magic herbs were growing faster than the level two and level three magic herbs. The lush green was interspersed with clusters of bright colors. Some of them had even bore fruit, namely the Fragrant Fruit herb. Although they looked like they were not yet ripe, it probably wasn’t going to take much longer.

As for the level two and level three magic herbs, the level two herbs were at the seedling stage , while the level three magic herbs were a little slower, but they all had sprouted. You XiaoMo was stupefied. Even though he had never grown crops, he still knew that they usually don’t sprout so quickly. Sprouting in just one day, this was simply too unbelievable.

Not stopping to pick up the bottles from the ground, You XiaoMo ran right over. He was not imagining things, they had indeed all sprouted. But because they were not yet mature, he couldn’t tell if they were top grade magic herbs.

You XiaoMo thought back to the whole process he did when planting the seeds. Besides scattering the seeds, he also sprinkled them with the lake water. Thinking of the effects of the lake water, You XiaoMo was sure that that must be the reason. Since the lake water could replenish his soul force, it was not surprising that it would have this effect. Thinking of this, You XiaoMo got very excited. If the lake water was able to accelerate the growth of magic herbs, that meant the magic herbs he grew would definitely grow faster than those planted by others outside. No matter what grade they were, he wouldn’t have to worry , if he ha d sufficient magic herbs from now on.

You XiaoMo’s face was bright red from all the excitement. He paced back and forth before forcing himself to calm down. He went back to pick up the five bottles and filled them to the brim. Although it was not a lot, he normally only needed one sip.

Before leaving, You XiaoMo decided that he had to find the time to clear out the rest of the weeds. But right until he left, he didn’t notice that the air had begun to show signs of movement. After that, You XiaoMo spent the whole morning and afternoon refining magic pills over and over. With everything going smoothly, he forgot to have lunch.

When he refined magic pills, he would usually refine the ones that he was going to hand over first. But in order to not appear as if he hadn’t made any progress, he also mixed a few of the higher quality ones inside. He then placed them in his magic bag, ready to hand them over to Zhao-shishu the next day.

In the afternoon, You XiaoMo did some tests and discovered that his soul force had not increased one bit from the previous days. This would be what mages called the bottleneck stage. In this short period of time, he had diligently refined magic pills. Now, he could refine over one hundred and fifty magic pills in a day. More than he expected, but because he wasn’t able to compare this with that of the other disciples, he could only judge this based on his own magic pill quantity during this short time. Although the quantity he could refine each day had increased significantly, this was due to the increased speed in which he refined magic pills. So, even though there was a change in his soul force, it was definitely not significant.

Just like what Ling Xiao said, increasing the soul force through continuous practice was a very slow process. Furthermore, after two days, he could see that there was no change in his soul force.

The books stated that every mage would have a different concentration of soul force at each level. With each increase in level, the concentration of soul force would increase by up to two times, almost like a qualitative change. So, it required a key moment.

For example, for a mage that continue d practicing refining level one magic pills, after days and days of practice, there would be a huge amount, but that didn’t mean there would be a breakthrough. There was a chance, but only a small chance. But if one had a book of soul training techniques, then it would be different.

Soul training techniques for soul force were similar to practitioner’s soul training techniques for inner strength . With each day of training, adding up to months and years, their skills got stronger and stronger. Training the soul force through soul training techniques also abided by this principle.

But You XiaoMo knew that these things could not be rushed. So he tidied up the table and got ready to go eat. Just at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and a familiar figure strode in obnoxiously.

You XiaoMo sighed helplessly. In the whole the Tian Xin Sect, there was only one person so arrogant.
