The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 58

Chapter 58: Top Grade Magic Pills

You XiaoMo opened the door of his room but when he saw the person outside, the corner of his eye suddenly twitched. Someone clearly said that he would look for him the next morning. But now was obviously night time. Furthermore, it had only been six hours since they met during the day.

Ling Xiao couldn’t care less about what he was thinking. He simply pushed the other door open and walked in. His overbearing manner made people think that this was his room. After taking a seat, a pair of warm yet sharp eyes stared fixedly at You XiaoMo. This was simply a cudgel on top of sugar coated bullets!

You XiaoMo’s scalp started to feel numb from his stare. He quickly shut the room door before walking up to him. He carefully stole a glance at his face and thought back to what happened these last few days. It didn’t seem as if he did anything to provoke him so he just asked, “Ling-shixiong, didn’t you say that we would meet tomorrow? Why are you here now?”

“Listening to your tone of voice, are you not happy to see me?” Ling Xiao raised his brow slightly but didn’t reveal what he was thinking.

You XiaoMo shivered, “No, you can come whenever you feel like it.”

There’s no way he dared to oppose since he was not yet bored of living. He had already somewhat figured out Ling Xiao’s dictatorial character.

Ling Xiao stared at his face, as if he wanted to dig out a hole. Only when You XiaoMo seemed to not be able to bear it any longer, did he quietly withdraw his gaze, “I never imagined that you would make it on the list.”

“List? What list?” You XiaoMo was confused.

“What? Don’t tell me you don’t know that every year for the friendly competition, the Mage Division will draw up a list of people that will be responsible for the Central Lineage?”

Thinking that he had yet to hear of it, Ling Xiao explained it to him.

You XiaoMo blinked a few times. He just discussed that this afternoon with Da Shixiong and Zhao-shishu. He didn’t expect Ling Xiao to find out so quickly. He was really too well-informed , but thinking of his standing and status in the Warrior Division, he felt that it was only to be expected.

“I know about that. Zhao-shishu looked for us this afternoon to talk about it. It was supposed to be Da Shixiong and Second Shixiong. But Da Shixiong wants to take care of the other disciples , so he let me take his place. This time it will be me and Second Shixiong going to the Central Lineage.” You XiaoMo shook his head while explaining the situation. After all, it was not a secret.

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at his slightly smiling face, “This Da Shixiong of yours, he seemed to treat you a little too nicely?”

These words made You XiaoMo think of this afternoon’s misunderstanding. His cheeks suddenly started to flush a pale pink. This was really too embarrassing!

However , this reaction, in the eyes of Ling Xiao, was a bashful expression. In a split second, a dense dark storm raged in his eyes but the other party didn’t notice, not even a little bit. He was still deeply lost in his own thoughts.

“Ling-shixiong, is there something else?” You XiaoMo suddenly shivered remembering that there was someone else in the room. But by the time he looked at Ling Xiao, the latter’s face was back to what it was before, so calm that it seemed that the whole scene was just an illusion.

Ling Xiao looked somewhat meaningfully at You XiaoMo. That gaze was like a little dagger, seeming to cut from top to bottom. Slowly and carefully scraping over, not missing even a tiny bit. The latter felt goosebumps pop up following his gaze.

“There is still one more thing. Since you have things to do for the next few days, you can leave the magic pill matter for now … wait until you return to Capital Peak ; then , you can make up for it.”

You XiaoMo suddenly felt touched. Ling Xiao was finally showing some consideration for him. This really was like red rain falling from heaven, or snow in June …

Although it was beyond his imagination, it really happened. This really surprised him beyond belief. But when he heard the rest of his words, all of his grateful emotions seemed to have been blown away by a strong wind. After feeling touched, he again got the wrong idea!

“Did you hear me?” Not hearing his reply, Ling Xiao raised his brow while looking at him.

You XiaoMo’s shoulders shook a little, “I understand.”

Ling Xiao stood up, “So be it, I will personally come pick you up tomorrow.”

You XiaoMo cried out ‘ah’, “You mean you want to come here personally to pick me up?”

He had thought that Ling Xiao meant that they would meet during the competition. He didn’t think that he would personally come here.

” Otherwise, what do you think ?” Ling Xiao asked him indifferently. Of course he was not going to tell You XiaoMo that his original intention was indeed to meet him during the competition , but he changed his mind.

Since You XiaoMo liked Fang ChenYue so much, he purposely didn’t want to let them have the opportunity to spend time together. So he of course would come as early as possible to take him to avoid them interacting with each other some where he couldn’t see. He didn’t know why he didn’t like it when he saw You XiaoMo’s reaction , but since it was like that, he just did what he wanted.

You XiaoMo shook his head. He knew that Ling Xiao was getting angry, but he still couldn’t figure out what he did to make Ling Xiao this angry. Thinking it over, it didn’t seem as if he had done anything.

After Ling Xiao left, You XiaoMo still couldn’t figure it out so he decided to forget about it.

Although Zhao-shishu allowed them to have a good rest that night , since they would have things to do tomorrow, You XiaoMo didn’t want to waste time.

That month, he had been busy with the magic herbs in his dimension. He hadn’t refined magic pills for a long time. So , he wanted to take advantage of this time to use the magic herbs from his dimension to try refining a batch of magic pills to see what the quality would be like.

Acting out his thoughts, You XiaoMo immediately locked the room door and brought out the cauldron that was always stuck to his side from his magic bag. The cauldron was still the same one that Capital Peak provided. Black and heavy, unattractive in outward appearance.

You XiaoMo did think of buying a better cauldron , but he hadn’t earned enough money. The other two times he sold magic pills, the money was basically used to buy magic herb seeds. The remaining funds were just not enough to buy a good cauldron.

That was only one reason. The most important reason was buying one would make people suspicious. He was a child from an impoverished family and only entered the sect two months ago , how could he possibly have money to buy a good cauldron?

Considering all these, You XiaoMo had no choice but to give up on this idea.

You XiaoMo took out twelve stalks of magic herbs from his dimension. He didn’t dare to take out too much. Although he had already locked the door, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn’t barge in.

The twelve stalks of magic herbs were the materials for the Breatharian magic pill. The last time he went down the mountain, he conveniently asked around and figured out that there was a considerable market for the Breatharian magic pill.

Some practitioners could do away with eating and drinking once they reached a certain level , but not everyone had this ability. For normal people, three meals a day was a must. Then there are those lower level practitioners and even mages themselves.

Adding up all these people amounted to a huge number. But as everyone knew, the Breatharian magic pill was only available as low quality magic pills. Mid-grade and top-grade magic pills were very rare. Even if they existed, they would be taken by those with money and influence. It was clear how considerable the market for the Breatharian magic pill was.

You XiaoMo took a deep breath and picked up three stalks of magic herbs. These magic herbs were from the first harvest in his dimension. They contained a very high concentration of spiritual energy. Just by holding them in his hand, he could smell that clear freshness. His whole heart and soul seemed to be cleansed, making him feel very refreshed.

You XiaoMo felt a little excited. He didn’t expect that elevating the quality of the magic herbs would actually have such an effect. If he were to refine them into magic pills, what kind of quality would they be?

Putting the three stalks of magic herbs into the cauldron, You XiaoMo slowly released his soul force. After over a month of training, his soul force was stronger than before, purer than before.

Very quickly, the silvery white spiritual energy permeated the cauldron. Under his skilled movements, the three stalks of magic herbs slowly transformed into a pool of magic liquid. The next step was to remove the impurities. Although they were called high grade magic herbs, even they would inevitably contain some residual impurities. What You XiaoMo wanted to do was to eliminate each and every one of those impurities.

Although there was no guarantee, fortunately he had already practiced it over a thousand times. After going through the motions he didn’t feel it was especially difficult but after refining it once, he felt like the will was there but the ability was not. It was not because his soul force was insufficient but the remaining impurities couldn’t seemed to be removed no matter what he did. In the end, he could only go ahead and start the blending step.

Since the quality of the magic herbs was not the same, in order to avoid failing, You XiaoMo proceeded with extreme concentration. Even though it was only five simple steps, he didn’t dare to make any mistakes. Each step was carried out with utmost care. He seemed to be more absorbed than ever. Even if someone were to knock on the door, he most probably wouldn’t hear it.

Half an hour later, You XiaoMo looked at the magic pill lying in the palm of his hand while wiping off a handful of sweat. It was a very deep dark blue color.

This was what they called a top grade magic pill. The medicinal fragrance contained in the magic pill was stronger than any low grade magic pill he had ever smelled. The whole room seemed to be flooded with this medicinal fragrance.

You XiaoMo looked at it contentedly. When he showed it to Ling Xiao tomorrow, he would definitely be very happy. If he was happy, he shouldn’t be angry anymore, right?
