The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 84

Chapter 84: Breakthrough to the Second Level

On the way back, You XiaoMo stopped by the Hall of Magic Herbs and picked up a new cauldron along with three hundred stalks of magic herbs.

The new cauldron was quite a bit better than the previous one. But it was still one of low quality , so You XiaoMo didn’t give up on the idea of buying an even better one. Still, he could make do with this cauldron for now.

The cauldron he bought must definitely not appear in front of other people , otherwise everyone would definitely ask where the money came from. Although he could explain that the money came from him selling magic pills, everyone knew that low grade level magic pills couldn’t be sold for much money. He didn’t want to expose his secrets in front of others just for the sake of a cauldron.

Upon returning to Capital Peak, time was now all his own.

You XiaoMo locked himself in his room and first used the magic herbs he picked up to try refining a magic pill. He discovered that when he introduced his soul force into the cauldron, the feeling was smoother and easier than it was with the previous cauldron. He no longer had to act like before, worried that the cauldron wouldn’t be able to take too much soul force , causing it to explode.

After making this discovery, You XiaoMo refined one hundred magic pills in on session in three hours. His speed was much faster than before. He actually only bolstered himself once with spiritual water during this time. This meant that his current soul force was sufficient to refine fifty magic pills in one go.

Before, he wouldn’t have dared to imagine this because he could only refine twenty magic pills in one go before. Sometimes, not even that . Now it was more than double. He was super excited!

You XiaoMo tried to restrain his heart from jumping in joy endlessly and took out one hundred stalks of magic herbs from his dimension.

They were Rock Jasmine, Rabdosia Herb, and Korean Mint. These three magic herbs were used to refine the Accumulate Energy magic pill. You XiaoMo had refined and sold several tens of Accumulate Energy magic pills before , but those were all low grade magic pills. As far as he knew, if a top grade Accumulate Energy magic pill was used to open up the body’s meridians, the meridians would expand, benefiting any subsequent training.

That was why many rich and powerful families would prepare a high grade Accumulate Energy magic pill for their disciples before they started training. Although the market for the Accumulate Energy magic pill was not as large as that for the Breatharian magic pill, it was still in demand. And just like the Breatharian magic pill, a bottle of fifty pills was enough to be sold at auction.

So he decided to refine fifty Accumulate Energy magic pills.

Fifty magic pills couldn’t be considered a lot , nor could it be considered little. It would take at least twenty hours to refine them.

In order to get ready for the auction as soon as possible, You XiaoMo decided to stay up the whole night. Without the presence of the one who loved to harass him, Ling Xiao, he was a hundred percent confident, in spite of the effect that the spiritual water would have on him. This showed that You XiaoMo had now accepted it!

Just like Ling Xiao said, since his body had already changed as much as it could, there probably wouldn’t be any additional side effects if he continued drinking spiritual water. So it would be a waste not to continue drinking it.

You XiaoMo went into closed-door cultivation once again!

When Fang ChenYue heard about this, he couldn’t but shake his head. He felt that this Xiao Shidi really liked to go into closed-door cultivation. At this time, other people would usually go visit one another and get to know the other disciples or try to seek connections in higher places. It was only him that, when nothing was going on, he hid in his room, when something was going on, he also hid in his room.

Although he knew that Xiao Shidi would have to undergo the assessment in a few months, he still didn’t have to go all out like this. Refining magic pills was basically something that should be done slowly. Step by step with feet on solid ground was the correct way to proceed.

But that was his own decision so it was not good for him to say anything.

This news naturally also spread to Ling Xiao’s ears. But his reaction was not like Fang ChenYue’s since he knew You XiaoMo’s secret. With the presence of Breatharian magic pills and with spiritual water to replenish his soul force and physical strength, he could even go into closed-door cultivation for a few months without any problems. So , he just asked people to take notice of when he came out , and notify him.

But unexpectedly, on the second day, something big happened to You XiaoMo’s body.

Twenty hours later, because he drank spiritual water, You XiaoMo didn’t feel tired so he toughed it out and refined forty Breatharian magic pills. Including the previous ten pills, he amassed fifty pills. His soul force was also depleted because he was too tired, You XiaoMo didn’t manage to drink spiritual water before passing out on the table …

This sleep went on for two days and two nights. When he woke up, he found that there had been a huge change in his body. The previously on the point of depletion soul force, after resting for two days and two nights, was now fully charged. But the amount was twice the amount of two days ago. That was to say, his soul force suddenly doubled in the course of two days.

You XiaoMo was pleasantly surprised to discover that he had broken through the first level of the Heavenly Soul Scripture.

He wanted to pinch his own cheeks to check if he was dreaming but his hands were numb!

His hands served as his pillow for two days , so there was no way for blood to flow causing them to lose all feeling. He wanted to drink spiritual water but couldn’t. Luckily his body had already been transformed by spiritual water. If not, it could possibly have become disabled. After half an hour, both his hands slowly regained their feeling. The first thing You XiaoMo did was to drink spiritual water.

Just when the spiritual water was about to roll down his throat, he suddenly thought of something. It seemed he forgot to drink spiritual water two days ago, That was why he passed out on the table. But when he woke up he discovered that he had broken through the Heavenly Soul Scripture.

Did that mean that not drinking spiritual water had something to do with his breakthrough?

But … a few days ago when he was over at Ling Xiao’s, there was once when he didn’t drink spiritual water. At that time, it didn’t seem as if his soul force underwent any changes. He would have known if it did.

You XiaoMo’s brain, with its limited capacity, immediately crashed.

It looked like he would have to go to the library to check up on this. If there were materials on this aspect , then of course that would be good. But if there were not , he would just wait until he saw Ling Xiao again. Since he was so knowledgeable, he must know what this was all about.

At that time, You XiaoMo had no idea that he was slowly moving towards relying on Ling Xiao. By the time he realized this, he and Ling Xiao would have already ‘joined together’!

After being in closed-door cultivation for three and a half days, actually, after sleeping for two days, You XiaoMo finally came out.

The first thing he did after coming out of closed-door cultivation was to head to the library.

When Fang ChenYue found out about this, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Unable to take it any longer, he decided to catch him at the library. If it were to go on like this, he was afraid that Xiao Shidi’s body won’t be able to take it. But when he caught sight of Xiao Shidi’s rosy cheeks, he choked back all the unsaid words brewing in chest.

You XiaoMo’s condition was not the least bit like someone that had just come out from three and a half days of closed-door cultivation. His cheeks were rosy as if he had just received some nourishment. His outward appearance was not haggard like other disciples when they emerge from closed-door cultivation. Instead , he looked like someone who had just come back from a resort area, fresh like the spring breeze.

Fang ChenYue couldn’t help thinking of something. Xiao Shidi had gone into closed-door cultivation for over one month before. That time, his condition was also like now. Normal people most probably wouldn’t be like this, right? Thinking like this, Fang ChenYue couldn’t help getting suspicious.

“Xiao Shidi, I heard that you went into closed-door cultivation. This time for three and a half days. How is it you … ”

Before he could finish his questioning words, You XiaoMo hastily cut him off. Putting both palms together, with a bashful face, he said, “I’m sorry Da Shixiong. I didn’t mean to do it. It’s just that I accidentally fell asleep for two days, and overslept … ”

Fang ChenYue ” … ”

So the truth was he overslept?

Seeing that he was not saying a word, You XiaoMo didn’t stop apologizing. In the end, he even promised to let him know before he went into closed-door cultivation again. Making a fuss until Fang ChenYue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Why would he be mad because he didn’t tell him? He was mad because he went into closed-door cultivation without taking care of his body , but he couldn’t tell him that. But the most important point was that it was too deceitful. He never expected that he could have overslept. Looked like the one month of closed-door cultivation the last time must have gone something like this.

You XiaoMo had no idea that what he carelessly said defused a whole lot of trouble for him.

“Ok, ok, Da Shixiong didn’t want to criticize you. Da Shixiong also isn’t angry. As long as you pay more attention the next time , and not only care about refining magic pills while forgetting about your limits. You have to know … ”

Fang ChenYue was just like a nanny, once he started, he could go on for most of the day. But this was also one of the big part s of his character. If not, his popularity wouldn’t be as high as it was.

You XiaoMo couldn’t get a word in so he could only nod awkwardly at his side.

After an hour, Fang ChenYue finally let him go. You XiaoMo ran like he was fleeing for his life into the library. He no longer dared to provoke Da Shixiong. He truly was too formidable, speaking until he almost suffered another system crash.

You XiaoMo often went to the library to borrow books , so the old man was very familiar with him. Not waiting for him to walk up to him, he simply took the second level tablet and flung it at him.

You XiaoMo hurriedly caught the tablet. Upon seeing that the tablet was not like the ones he got before, he was surprised making him blurt out, “Yang-shishu, how did you know I wanted to go to the second level?”

Old man Yang looked at him expressionlessly, not saying a word.

You XiaoMo clenched the tablet in his hand tightly. Fine. He knew he was being belittled. He knew that he often came to borrow books, basically all the books on the first level that were related to mages had been read by him. So this question was pointless. Even he wanted to belittle himself.

The second level of the library was just like he imagined, an advanced version of the first level. He found the books he was looking for on the bookshelves, alchemy manuals and magic herb compendiums. There were four books on these two topics alone. Among them, three books were magic herb compendiums of one anthology. In them, magic herbs from level four to level six were presented in detail. Other than listing their usefulness and characteristics, even the places where they grew on the LongXiang Continent were also clearly recorded.

As for books on soul force, he couldn’t find any even after searching the entire second level of the East and West Pavilions.

After taking the books, You XiaoMo bid farewell to Old man Yang.

As a result, when he happily pushed open the door to his room, and saw the seated figure of a certain impudent person inside his room, his first response was to shut the door, shutting himself outside …
