The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 34

Chapter 34: Heavenly Soul Scripture

With his e legant white robe and tall stature, Ling Xiao was someone that approached perfection. After having travelled for almost a day, there was no sign of weariness as Ling Xiao walked up to You XiaoMo and threw a book on the table.

You XiaoMo stole a glance at the book. It was not a new book , but it had been kept meticulously. The book cover was very well kept without any damage or wrinkle. On it was clearly written with three words, [Heavenly Soul Scripture]. One look and one could tell that it was related to the soul since the word soul was written on it.

Seeing that Ling Xiao was not saying anything, You XiaoMo couldn’t take it any longer and pick ed up the book. After flipping through, his whole face darken ed; surprisingly , he … couldn’t recognize even a single word!

You XiaoMo hesitated, looking at Ling Xiao, “Ling-shixiong, is this really a book of soul training techniques?”

Hearing these words, Ling Xiao raised his elegant brows, “Why? You think I would just take any old book to fool you?”

“No, no, no.” You XiaoMo quickly shook his head. Of course he didn’t mean that . “What I mean is, these characters, I don’t recognize them at all. They are completely different from those in the books from the library. This way, how can I learn?”

“If you were able to understand, the other high level mages would have lived in vain.” Ling Xiao snorted.

“Do you mean that this book is written in ancient characters?” He thought of the characters on oracle bones script. They were very different from the simplified Chinese characters of today , as they were two completely different types of characters. But the latter was still a result of continuous evolution throughout history.

“How smart.” Ling Xiao glanced at him, his tone was definitely not one of praise.

The characters of the Heavenly Soul Scripture were indeed written in ancient characters of the Long Xiang Continent. But if one really wanted to get to the heart of the matter, probably only a few people would be able to confirm it. That was because it was from over a hundred billion years ago.

A hundred billion years ago, there were much more soul training techniques to train the soul force than today. But because so much time had passed, and because some mages were not willing to pass these soul training techniques on , the number had decreased with time. Many of them had even disappeared. That was why there were not more than ten volumes of soul training techniques today on the entire Long Xiang Continent.

But You XiaoMo was very curious. Since there were so few, how did he find this book? No matter how curious he was , You XiaoMo didn’t dare to ask that question.

“Ling-shixiong, I don’t understand the characters in this book. How can I train?” You XiaoMo asked while holding the book.

Finally a faint smile appeared on Ling Xiao’s face, but it was a crafty smile. He simply said:,”Just because you don’t understand, doesn’t mean I don’t.”

You XiaoMo didn’t expect that he would actually understand those characters. But the moment of delight disappeared with the cunning tone of his voice. He realized that it wouldn’t come easy. Of course there would be a price. He could almost imagine his purse getting flatter.

“Ling-shixiong, just tell me what conditions you have.” I will endure.

Ling Xiao revealed a ‘so you can be sensible’ type of expression. Making him run E ast and W est, You XiaoMo was actually the first to do that.

“I can translate the soul training techniques for you. But once you make a breakthrough with your soul force, I want ten of that magic pill.” Everything was said in a non-negotiable tone. You XiaoMo knew what type of magic pill he was referring to. That was why he was depressed. Ten times more, just like that. But he finally had a book of soul training techniques. You XiaoMo was very excited. Not just ten, even for twenty , he would agree. Of course, he would never tell Ling Xiao that.

“Ling-shixiong, then should we start now?” You XiaoMo held the [Heavenly Soul Scripture] and looked at Ling Xiao with a pair of sparkling eyes.

Ling Xiao frowned. Again with this little kitten look that made the heartache.

“What’s the hurry? Even if I translate d it for you now, you still couldn’t start training immediately.”

“Why?” You XiaoMo blurted out after a stunned moment.

“Without anyone to show you the way, do you think you will succeed with your IQ?” Ling Xiao raised the corners of his mouth. Again with the self-satisfied and insufferably arrogant look. No matter how one looked at it, it was clearly different from the elegant scholarly look. Why was it that the others couldn’t see it?

This was clearly an insult. Where did it show that he had a very low IQ? You XiaoMo was furious.

Ling Xiao stood up, walked over, pulled You XiaoMo by the arm and led him outside . “Accompany me for dinner. I’ll find some time tomorrow to come by.”

You XiaoMo blinked repeatedly, “Ling-shixiong, where are we going to eat?”

Ling Xiao looked at him from the corner of his eye, and said with an ambiguous smile, “Of course we’re going to Capital Peak’s canteen!”

It was a while before You XiaoMo let out a miserable shriek.

At the same time, in a place where You XiaoMo didn’t know, something shocking reverberated across Long Xiang Continent. It seemed that the renown top level mage of Long Xiang Continent, Qiu Ran had lost something very important. Because of that, he had issued an extremely high reward. He was offering ten level nine magic pills and three level ten magic pills in exchange for the thief.

For You XiaoMo, who had no access to news from the outside world, he wouldn’t know about this for a very, very long time. By that time, he would already think of the [Heavenly Soul Scripture] as something that was rightfully his.
