After an explosion, You XiaoMo finds that he is now a probationary disciple of the TianXin sect.
However, he is one with dubious potential, so just when he starts to adapt to his new circumstances,
he receives a piece of bad news. If he is unable to produce the required result after half a year to
become an official disciple of the TianXin sect, he would be driven out of the sect.

While You XiaoMo is going all out to make medicines and earn money, he runs into Ling Xiao. To

Chapter 1

Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Soul of a MageYou XiaoMo stands in front of a mirror, blinking at the stranger inside the mirror.
After exhausting a lot brain cells, he is finally willing to believe the fact that his soul is currently
attached to a stranger's body. The youth in the mirror is about 17 to 18 years old. Roughly his own
age. He is wearing a long blue traditional Chinese robe with a common blue-green hairpin on the top
of his head, with jet-black hair. It all gives him an otherworldly look. However he seems somewhat
pale, especially his lips, completely lacking color, as if he had just received a heavy blow, the pretty
pair of eyes are very red and swollen like walnuts. You XiaoMo feels haggard of a sudden, not used
to the sudden change in his face.

After lamenting Spring and Autumn for a moment, You XiaoMo finally evaluates the room he is in.
It is extremely sparse. A wooden bed, a wooden table, a wooden chair and a wooden counter on
which the mirror is placed. Not a trace of the unnecessary. Although simple, it is filled with a rustic
feel, simply the style of ancient times. Connecting this with the clothing on his body, his otherworldly
look, You XiaoMo makes the sad discovery that he has been transported to the backward ancient
times. But he is modern man! He clearly remembers that the gas leak next door caused an explosion,
implicating him, the innocent neighbor, exploding him into this stranger's body. Although this sounds
outrageous, it is indeed reality. After a little struggle, You XiaoMo decides to go with the flow.

After putting on his shoes, just when he was about to open the door and go out figure out the
situation, the door is suddenly pushed open from the outside, at once making him jump in shock. The
other person quickly dodges, narrowly missing colliding into You XiaoMo, both gasping in surprise
at the same time.

"You XiaoMo, you're finally willing to get out of bed?"

You XiaoMo is certain that only he himself knows his name, so this person must be calling the
original host of this body. Looks like heaven is still treating him alright, giving him the body of one
with the same name.

You XiaoMo examines the incomer. A handsome youth about his own age with a very sunny smile.
But what do his words mean, what 'You're finally willing to get out of bed', don't tell me he has a bad
habit of being lazy? Without waiting for him to ask, the young man starts to speak.

"You XiaoMo, you should not lose heart. Even though your soul has a green aura, at least you
can still become an intermediate level mage. You must know that intermediate level mages are
still very rare. Some people can only remain as low level mages their whole life. Therefore you
should not be broken-hearted. Tomorrow morning you have to go to the Mage's hall. You have to
pick yourself up."

You XiaoMo feels his head spinning and his brain swelling. What green aura, what intermediate
level mage? Why does he not understand? But on the whole he starts to understand a little. Maybe
because this body has a green aura soul, making him feel like he is wearing a green hat? So he hides
in his room broken-hearted and secretly crying, finally dropping dead after excess grief? You XiaoMo
covers his face, such a way to die, how shameful!

"Then what about you?" You XiaoMo asks cautiously.

Right now, he only knows this young man. He can only try to extract information on this dimension
from him. But he is afraid that the young man will discover that he is not the real You XiaoMo,
therefore he can't ask him straight out. However, he doesn't know that they have not known each other
for long, furthermore, after finding out that his talent is too inferior, he had locked himself inside,
refusing to go out, therefore it is understandable that he is not aware of a lot of things. The young man
immediately grins widely, unable to contain his joy, and says bashfully while scratching his head,

"My aura is blue."

One look and it is clear that a blue aura is a good thing, but he still does not understand a thing ah!

"This, I don't really understand, these few days my head has been muddled, forgetting a lot of
things, can you tell me more?"

You XiaoMo asks sheepishly, afraid to look at directly at him, afraid that he would become
suspicious. The young man seems to be oblivious, completely unsuspecting, revealing all that he
knows, including the place where they are currently at, saying all there is to be said. After listening to
it all, You XiaoMo is rendered speechless. Shock upon shock in his mind, to the extent that he has no
idea when the young man left the room.

This world is completely different from the one he knew. He has entered into the biggest sect in the
Long Xiang continent, TianXin sect. To be precise, he is just a probationary disciple. Furthermore,
TianXin sect is divided into two divisions. The Warrior division are martial artists. Their souls do
not have colored auras but they can practice various energy control and martial arts techniques. And
the other is the Mage division. All mages have colored auras. The colors are separated into three, six,
nine levels, from light to dark: pink, yellow, green, teal, blue and purple. Pink and yellow auras can
only become low level mages. Light green and green auras can become intermediate level mages.
Blue and purple auras can become high level mages. However the potential for the latter is much
bigger than the former. For example, the purple aura, its potential is much more than the blue aura.
Therefore there is hope of becoming a top level mage.

Blue aura, means a future high level mage. No wonder the young man has such an elated
expression. As for the host of this body, he is a probationary disciple of the mage division. Brought
back here three days ago by the elders of the TianXin sect. The original host is a little arrogant, but
during the evaluation test, he found out that his aptitude is unexpectedly the worst among everyone.
Unable to accept it, he hid himself in the room crying. This kid, such appalling mental fortitude! On
top of that, he learned a very important piece of information. Because he is a probationary disciple,
he must pass the assessment half a year later, or else he would be driven out of TianXin sect. TianXin
sect is the largest sect in Long Xiang continent, with very stringent requirements for their disciples,
especially for mages. If they are unable to produce the required product half a year later, they will be
swept out the door. Look up and see no one familiar, You XiaoMo with a brain that still has not
connected to the right track of this world, this news is undoubtedly like thunder from a clear sky.

Notes:

lamenting Spring and Autumn - feeling sentimental

wear a green hat - weakling

three, six, nine grades - various rank and levels

look up and see no one familiar - stranger in a strange land

thunder from a clear sky - bolt from the blue

Chapter 2

The Legendary Master's Wife

Trading DivisionAfter leaving the room, You XiaoMo finally finds out the name of the young man
with the blue aura. He is called Jiang Liu. He actually lives next door. In the beginning, he was
unremarkable but ever since the assessment, he has thrived because of his blue aura. A blue aura
proves that he has the potential to be a high level mage. Furthermore, high level mages are hard to
come by in Long Xiang continent. Many mages can only pace back at forth at the low and intermediate
levels. But if one is able to become a high level mage, the future is limitless. The more you are able
to refine high level miracle pills, the more respect you will get from people. Therefore, high level
mages have always been the target of big-name sects.

Three days ago, those who were brought into TianXin sect with You XiaoMo were all accepted as
probationary disciples. But after Jiang Liu was shown to have a blue aura during the assessment, he
was promoted to an official disciple. Since Jiang Liu is now an official disciple, he will not have to
face the entrance exam half a year later. Furthermore, during yesterday's assessment, someone from
the Grand Elder's lineage took a fancy to Jiang Liu. Today he was invited to move to the inner
courtyard. Therefore he has come to bid them farewell. Aside from You XiaoMo, the others are all
envious of Jiang Liu.

"How nice, when will I be able to become an official disciple like Jiang Liu?"

"Work hard, then maybe we can fulfill this dream half a year later."

"If only it is this easy."

You XiaoMo finally can't stop himself from blurting out, "Is it really that hard?" He doesn't want
to be driven out of TianXin sect. In this strange dimension, staying with TianXin sect is probably the
safest bet.

The person who was speaking gives him a look, and just when You XiaoMo starts to feel flustered,
he indifferently looks away, saying with a long face, "TianXin sect has very stringent demands of
their mage disciples. From what I know, if you wish to enter the inner courtyard, you must
refine a level 3 miracle pill. Furthermore it must be within the next 6 months."

At once, sharp intake of breaths could be heard, accompanied by disbelieving faces with mouths
hanging open. Low level mages are also able to refine level 3 miracle pills, but that requires at least
two to three years of perseverance, and even then success is not guaranteed. There is no guarantee
that any one mage, even a low level mage, will be able to refine a complete level 3 miracle pill. A
level 2 miracle pill seems more probable. Hearing his words, everyone becomes disheartened.

Although You XiaoMo doesn't know what it takes to become a mage, looking at everyone's
expressions, it seems to be a difficult path. Like this, he starts to feel that his future is becoming
darker and darker.
"But, it's not as if we have absolutely no hope." Looking at everyone's depressed expressions,
that person suddenly perks up.

"What hope? Spit it out." Everyone is hanging in suspense.

That person speaks secretively, "TianXin sect is a very large sect. The disciples number in the
thousands and tens of thousands. Putting aside the Warrior division, looking just at the Mage
division, the yearly expenses are huge. You all know that although mages can earn money, in the
early stages, the burn rate is high. Therefore TianXin sect also has a trading division,
specialized in making money for TianXin sect."

Hearing this, even You XiaoMo pricks up his ears.

"If you are able to attract the attention of the elders from the trading division, when the time
comes, even if you fail to attract the attention of the inner courtyard, you still will not be forced
to leave TianXin sect. It's just that from then on, your destiny with alchemy comes to an end."

After his words, everyone seems lost in thought. After hearing this, You XiaoMo understands that
the trading division is a business. But this means one must be business-minded. Furthermore, from
what he said, it seems that's not all there is to it. What twists and turns lie ahead, You XiaoMo doesn't
know, but he doesn't intend to give up. After parting from the rest, You XiaoMo decides to head to the
library to take a look.

Chapter 3

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

LibraryThe library is an all encompassing place for both the Mage and Warrior divisions.
Therefore, it is huge. The library is divided into East and West Pavilions, 2 large sections. The
materials in the East Pavilion are all sorts of literature on refining miracle pills and herbal medicine,
including the precious personal writings of the previous generations. The West pavilion displays
materials concerning the history and geography of Long Xiang continent. It also has materials on the
techniques of energy control and martial arts.

But not just anyone is allowed to go in and look through the material. Someone like You XiaoMo, a
probationary disciple, is only allowed to enter the 1st floor of the East and West Pavilions, lacking
the qualifications to ascend to the upper floors, unless he specifically applies for the privilege or
becomes an official disciple. But for You XiaoMo, those two options are unattainable, besides, for
now, he has no need to visit the upper levels.

Visiting the library, You XiaoMo has 2 aims. The first aim is to understand the history of Long Xiao
continent. He has to know what kind of world this is. The second aim, is the entrance exam half a year
later. He feels he has no hope whatsoever for both the Trading and Warrior division. But he still holds
a little hope for the Mage division. However he has no idea what it means to be a mage, so he has to
try to figure it out.

After almost getting lost, You XiaoMo manages to ask his way to the library. Still it took him
almost an hour to find it. From far away, he sees an imposing magnificent palace. A gilded rectangular
plaque is placed above the palace. On it is written three characters 藏书阁 (library). Seemingly
simple and unadorned characters but simultaneously pregnant with meaning, giving rise to an
imposing aura. You XiaoMo swallows nervously, the library is too imposing, even more majestic
than the Forbidden City.

Entering the area, the first thing You XiaoMo sees is an elderly silver-haired man, eyes closed,
sitting in between the East and West pavilions. Just when he approaches, the old man suddenly opens
his eyes. The bright and piercing eyes are incompatible with his outward aged appearance, a sharp
pair of eyes like knives, wizened with accumulated experience, shooting straight at You XiaoMo,
scaring him to the extent that he is afraid to go any closer. The old man gives him a look before saying
freezingly "Hand over your identity tablet."

You XiaoMo freezes, but soon realizes that there is indeed a tablet on him. He hurriedly fishes it
out and hands it over gingerly. After taking the tablet, the old man seemingly does nothing. You
XiaoMo only sees him pick it up before returning it two seconds later. He then states, "You XiaoMo,
probationary disciple, access limited to the 1st floor of the East pavilion." Thereafter, something
flies towards him. You XiaoMo dodges reflexively but not in time, *pa* rings out as it hits his head,
before falling to the ground. Raising his head, he catches sight of a slight twitch on the serious
expression of the old man.
"Using that, you can enter the library." After saying that, the old man proceeds to ignore him.

You XiaoMo shamefacedly picks up the object from the floor, not daring to look at the old man, and
runs towards the West pavilion, probably not to emerge in the near future.

Chapter 4

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Elder brother and Junior sister.

TianXin sect's library is like a sea that accepts 100 rivers. The East and West pavilion hold more
than ten thousand books on the 1st floor alone. The way the books are displayed are like what You
XiaoMo expected. Tens upon hundreds of bookshelves, all sorts of books separated by category, with
clear signs. You XiaoMo sighs heavily and shakes his head. Perhaps it's because the history of Long
Xiao continent is too long, he walks past several bookshelves divided by time period, ranging
widely. Some from ten thousand years ago, some from five thousand years ago ...... You XiaoMo has
no interest in the Long Xiao continent from long ago. What he needs to understand, is the Long Xiao
continent of today. Walking to the last bookshelf, You XiaoMo finally catches sight of the label at the
top ----- Geography of Long Xiao Continent!

Standing on tiptoe, You XiaoMo reaches up for a book when suddenly his outstretched hand
contacts something, a sudden electric shock like feeling causes him to immediately retract his hand,
crying out in alarm. This unexpected event scares him half to death, such a supernatural event.
Calming down, he reminds himself that he is now in the dimension of Long Xiao continent, so he must
adapt to these strange occurrences if he is to survive here. Thinking further, You XiaoMo takes out the
seal-like object from his chest. The very thing that was thrown at him by the old man guarding the
library.

The clueless You Xiao Mo can only raise the seal to the bookshelf. Looks like he guessed right.
The dark black seal gives out a sudden flash of light, followed by a shift in the atmosphere, pushing
open towards both sides raising a few ripples. You XiaoMo tentatively taps the area a few times and
after not feeling the electric shock, finally realizes that he has succeeded. Quickly You XiaoMo took
down a book from the bookshelf, and then just like drawing a gourd by copying a model, brings down
several books. Mostly basic knowledge of Long Xiao continent, bringing them with him to take a
look.

You XiaoMo finds a little corner and sits down, picking up the top-most book and just when he was
about the digest the contents, a taunting laugh comes from above his head. You XiaoMo quickly looks
up to see a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on a roof beam. Seeing You XiaoMo look up at
him, he grins and leaps down, looking at You XiaoMo with scrutiny and mockery. Obviously he had
seen all of You XiaoMo's actions from above.

He clicks his tongue *zeze*, "Really where did this steamed dirt bun come from."

The young man circles around him, talking and showing extreme disdain. You XiaoMo blinks but
still feels that what he said is not without reason, the him now is just like that of village folk entering
a big city. Who would have guessed that the young man seeing the lack of reaction from You XiaoMo,
actually became displeased.
"Steamed dirt bun, if you want to read, get away from here. Blocking the passageway from
the 2nd floor, don't tell me you're hoping to get close to Elder brother and Junior sister. Let me
tell you, you are unworthy no matter what."

You XiaoMo stayed silent for a moment before getting up and brushing the dirt off his butt. He then
goes off obediently to find another spot. Seeing him act so sensibly, the young man loses interest, and
leaves with a hmph. Seeing him leave, You XiaoMo heaves a sigh of relief. Who would have thought
that just coming to the library to look for books will result in him meeting someone that loves to pick
fights for nothing. He has never heard of Elder brother or Junior sister, let alone try to get close to
them.

But he never imagined that the random corner he chose would actually be the passageway to the
2nd floor. This library really has a unique craftsman's heart, not showing even a hint of the stairway.
After uttering a few curses, You XiaoMo finally calms down and starts to read his books.

Soon he discovers that Long Xiang continent is an extremely vast land, several hundred and
thousand times bigger than the Earth of his previous existence. Furthermore it is a continuous piece,
but it appears to be more primitive when compared to Earth. Continuous uninterrupted mountain
ranges, forests as far as the eye can see......

Most importantly this dimension is devoid of science and technology. What it has are God defying
mystics. According to the historical record, Long Xiang continent is not the only land in this
dimension. For example, across the endless seas, there is another world, and even in the outer void,
there are many other places. However, these books only contain a few paltry sentences on those
places, with no further description.

After 2 hours, You XiaoMo is more or less finished with the books, having a rough idea of Long
Xiao continent. After returning the books, You XiaoMo stretches his stiff back. Just when he is about
to leave, he feels a slight vibration from behind. Turning around he sees two figures appearing out of
thin air from the first corner where he was sitting. A male and a female, presumably the Elder brother
and Junior sister that the young man was talking about.

Elder brother has a handsome appearance with chiseled features, giving off a look of maturity,
stability and confidence at a glance. With his somewhat cold and thin lips lightly pressed together.
Without looking left or right he heads straight out of the library. The celestial looking Junior sister
lightly stamps her foot and chases after him. Both seemingly unaware of You XiaoMo's existence.

After coming out of the building, You XiaoMo takes note of the color of the sky. Feeling that it is
still early, he heads to the East pavilion. Because the there are too many things he wants to read, You
XiaoMo decides to take the books back to his room. A book each on medicinal herbs and medical
formulas, of the most basic level.

Notes:

like a sea that accepts a hundred rivers - diverse


drawing a gourd by copying a model - copy mechanically

steamed dirt bun - country bumpkin

has a unique craftsman's heart - ingenious

Chapter 5

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Accepting a Master at the Hall of MagesWhen he reaches his room, the sun is just about to set
behind the mountain. You XiaoMo glances at the room next door, supposedly the room of the young
man that came to see him earlier today, Jiang Liu. But the room is all quiet, looks like he had already
moved out. This type of good luck, of course he is envious. After all, the original You XiaoMo's talent
has already been completely determined, a genuine goods at fair price soul with a green aura. But that
was before he was transported over, after the change in souls, it must have changed. But You XiaoMo
has no intention of getting re-appraised. If it turns out the two appraisals are different, he would most
likely be subjected to suspicion. Afterall, he wouldn't want to die once again after just being here for
a few days. Therefore, even though he really wants to know his talent, he has no interest in getting re-
appraised.

Back in his room, he puts the four books on the table. It has to be said that the things he
superficially looked at in the East pavilion, are very profound. Perhaps others would be able to
understand, but for an outsider like him, with absolutely no understanding of mages, for him to come
to a sudden understanding, it really is somewhat difficult. However, despite the difficulty, he still has
to digest these 4 books before the next day. Because they have to go the the Hall of Mages tomorrow,
where it will be decided if they can find a good Master for them to learn from. In order to become a
mage, other than one's own efforts, an outstanding Master is also a critical factor.

You XiaoMo doesn't know if he will be chosen, but he still can't afford to go there without knowing
anything. Who knows if the selection process would entail some sort of assessment, if he gives 3 I
don't knows to each question, he can realistically picture how no one would be willing to accept him.
Therefore, You XiaoMo intends to supplement his knowledge, but 4 books in a night is really no easy
feat. After taking a huge breath, You XiaoMo resolutely burns the midnight oil.

As a result, the next day, You XiaoMo has an extra pair of panda eyes. But his worry was by no
means superfluous. Early next morning, someone from the Hall of Mages comes over to lead the way.
The person they sent over is a young man in his twenties, with an indifferent expression. He gives
them 15 minutes to get ready, not saying anything else the whole time, as if he couldn't really be
bothered. You XiaoMo sees a few bitter smiles from the others, because they are all considered
'leftovers'. The reality is the ones with great potential, for example those with blue or purple auras
have already been chosen long ago, leaving only those with inferior talent, just like You XiaoMo. He
is the worst among the five, as the others have green auras. But You XiaoMo doesn't feel inadequate,
afterall, as Edison once said, genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.

15 mins later, they arrive at the Hall of Mages. The grandeur of the Hall of Mages is in no way
inferior to the library. It's unclear if they are the last ones to arrive as there are already a lot of other
people assembled inside. However the others look pretty much like them, dressed in simple green
robes with ordinary hairpins in their hair, probably having entered TianXin sect at about the same
time. You XiaoMo had thought that there were only the few of them, never expecting that there would
be so many. No wonder TianXin sect is able to develop into the number one major sect in Long Xiang
continent, with the importance they attach to the quality of their disciples.

Because the elders have not arrived, the anxious crowd starts to exchange words. It's just that the
topics are all of the same kind, 'what is the color of your aura', 'I wonder who would pick me', 'it
would be great if I was spotted by so and so elder', that kind of worthless talk. You XiaoMo lets out a
huge yawn. After staying up the whole night, he finds it a little difficult to hold on. Just when he is
about to find a corner to take a nap, a piercing voice makes him jump.

"Silence everyone."

Notes:

genuine good at fair price - 100% percent

gives 3 I don't knows to each question - clueless

Chapter 6

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Kong WenThis roar quiets down the whole Hall of Mages. You XiaoMo looks closely and
discovers that the shrill voice came from the young man that led them here. He didn't expect that
someone so expressionless would have such a loud voice, and also so terse, but he soon finds out the
heart of the matter.

Following his words, a group of people walk in from outside. The leaders look to be of advanced
ages, the youngest in the thirties. Of course this is an assessment of their exterior appearances, in
reality, some of them are probably extraordinary old creatures. Only after reading the books, You
XiaoMo learns that the people from this dimension, especially the mystics, seem to have particularly
long lives. Just when he let his imagination run wild, the group of people have already walked up to
the front.

Soon the selection process begins, the three elders as if picking dishes at a buffet, taking away the
good ones, the remainders are all crooked melons and cracked jujubes. Most unfortunately, You
XiaoMo is one of the leftover dishes. However, he could be considered one of the lucky ones,
because the highest remaining levels are those with green auras, with the worst being the ones with
pink and yellow auras, basically those limited to being lower level mages their whole lives.

"You, follow me for the next half year okay."

A voice suddenly says from above You XiaoMo's head. Raising his head, he sees a middle aged
man with slightly raised eyebrows looking at him, albeit with a somewhat dissatisfied look. You
XiaoMo immediately answered meekly with a yes. The middle aged man doesn't reply, picking a few
more mediocre disciples, in fact they are all leftovers, before leading them out of the Hall of Mages.

Although he said to follow him, but the middle aged man clearly has no intention of accepting them
as disciples, conveniently tossing him and his mediocre compatriots to be guided by his eldest
disciple, Fang ChenLe, before hurriedly leaving for seclusion. Thus, You XiaoMo remains a
probationary disciple. However, You XiaoMo still manages to figure out the situation from the Elder
brother. The middle aged man is Kong Wen, who can be considered as his master in name, a minor
celebrity in TianXin sect. It is said that he is a blue aura high level mage. Despite falling short of the
purple aura, he is said to be able to refine a level 9 magic pill, albeit at a very low rate of success.
However, that still doesn't affect Kong Wen's position in TianXin sect.

TianXin sect is divided into 3 peaks - Heaven peak, Flying peak and Earth peak respectively. Kong
Wen is the leader of the Earth peak. Every year there is a need to recruit new blood. Therefore, every
year at about this time, the three leaders will personally go to the Hall of Mages to select recruits.
However, since Earth peak is the weakest of the three, every year they get to pick last. Obviously the
good talents would have already been taken away by Heaven peak and Flying peak. Like Jiang Liu,
who was taken by Heaven peak. Therefore Kong Wen's mood is always the worst during this time, so
that's why he immediately left for seclusion right after coming back from the selection.
"Looks like it's not easy being a Master." You XiaoMo laments softly.

Little did he expect that Fang ChenLe would have such sharp ears, actually hearing what he said.
Unable to stop himself from teasing, he says,

"Indeed it's not easy being a Master, therefore it now depends on all of you, to win some
praise for the Master."

"Elder brother, you must know that our talent is the most inferior." The young man at his side
shakes his head ruefully, this he clearly understands from what he witnessed at the Hall of Mages.
Fang ChenLe pats him on the shoulder urging,

"You mustn't lose heart, inferior talent only relates to the question of potential. You only need
to be willing to put in the effort, and there will still be hope. If you were to give up at the start,
then obviously there is no hope."

"Elder brother is right." You XiaoMo agrees in a whisper.

You XiaoMo had similar experiences in his past life, so he fully understands this principle,
therefore unlike the others, he doesn't feel hopeless right from the start. Fang ChenLe gives him an
approving nod.

"Alright, from now on, you are all disciples of the Earth peak. There are not a lot of rules in
Earth peak, just for all you to be industrious and conscientious, help each other in times of
need, and work wholeheartedly as one. Today is your first day at Earth peak. Since you are all
still unfamiliar with the surroundings, I won't be teaching you today. I will let your brothers
acclimate you to the surroundings. Tomorrow I will tell you more at the regular assembly."

Soon after, a fellow disciple comes over to help familiarize them with the surroundings. The
atmosphere at Earth peak is much better than where they were before. Wrapped in clouds and mist,
birds singing in the mountain forest, and especially the air, cool and refreshing, You XiaoMo no
longer feels sleepy after a little walk. After strolling for an hour, that Li brother then brings them to
their living quarters.

Notes:

crooked melons and cracked jujubes - ugly

Chapter 7

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Blue birthmarkEarth peak has a lot of rooms, slightly bigger than where You XiaoMo was before.
However the furnishings are just as simple as the one before, except for an additional simple screen,
behind which is a very big wooden tub. The screen is placed facing the door, blocking the view of
others. You XiaoMo moves in that very day. He has very few things, only two sets of clothes and four
books. He doesn't intend to return the books immediately to the library. Last night, in order to deal
with the situation, he was almost like swallowing a date whole, stuffing all the contents into his brain
He still haven't had the time to digest them, already failing to remember clearly some of them.
Furthermore the loan period of the library typically has a limit of half a month.

You XiaoMo puts his clothes and books in the wardrobe before starting to clean the room. Most
probably no one lived in this room before, and no one comes over to clean it regularly, so the floor,
table, chair, and bed are all coated with a layer of dust. You XiaoMo touches the surfaces with his
finger, the layer of dust is really quite thick. There is a wooden washbasin in the room. You XiaoMo
uses it to fetch clean water from outside, taking an hour to clean up the room. By this time, the sun had
already set behind the mountain.

Not long after, that Brother Li comes over to get him and the other new recruits for dinner. Earth
peak has a dedicated canteen, three meals a day. A lot of the disciples will head over here to have
their meals. However there are also those who are fasting, not needing to come over for meals. The
dishes are set up like a modern day buffet. Each of the three meals is cooked beforehand by the cook,
and placed in large pots. The disciples then take whatever they wish to eat. But in order to avoid
wasting food, one of the rules of the canteen is that you only take however much you can eat. Any
evidence of wasting food will be met with punishment.

You XiaoMo follows Brother Li to pick up a food tray. He doesn't have a big appetite, so he
scoops up less food. Just when he is about to start eating, a small commotion comes from the
entrance. You XiaoMo raises his head and looks over. Looks like Elder brother Fang ChenLe has
arrived. His arrival is immediately met with greetings from a lot of people. It is evident that he is
quite popular in Earth peak, maybe only second to the Master.

After dinner, You XiaoMo returns to his room. Remembering that he has yet to take a bath, he takes
out a set of clothes from the wardrobe and places them on a small stool beside the wooden tub. There
is actually a hot spring in TianXin sect, however, it is quite far away. Therefore most people would
bring back hot water to their rooms to bathe. During the day, Brother Li brought them to the place for
hot water, so You XiaoMo knows the way. Going back and forth five times, You XiaoMo finally fills
the tub. You XiaoMo wipes the sweat off his brow, closes the door, takes off his clothes and slips into
the water. The water temperature is just right, wrapping around his body, making him feel drowsy.
You XiaoMo struggles to keep awake, using the towel to wash his hands and legs once over.

Just when he wasn't paying attention, something similar to a birthmark slowly emerges on his chest
that had been soaking in the water. Like a blue tear drop. The color becoming brighter and brighter.
You XiaoMo suddenly feels his chest is very hot. Looking down, he can't help but be dumbfounded.
When did this birthmark appear on his chest. Furthermore, it is blue, very strange. Looking at the
bright drop, it seems as if it is about to drip out of his chest, he can't help but touch it with his hand
.......

Two breaths later, You XiaoMo who should be taking a bath, suddenly disappears. A few ripples
float across the surface of the steaming water, slowly fading away, as if You XiaoMo was never
there, the whole room cloaked in silence.

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Percentage*pu tong*A human figure drops from the sky splashing right into jade green waves. The
bone chilling ice-cold water covers the top of his head in an instant. You XiaoMo is freaks out, all six
vital organs failing to function. He flails around in the water, thinking he has fallen into the sea. The
fact is, he can't swim!! You XiaoMo thinks in despair, don't tell me I'm going to drown right now just
after crossing over here? He can't help but mourn his fate as a short-lived ghost. Thinking this way,
You XiaoMo just gives up and stops struggling. Since he is bound to die sooner or later, he might as
well just die already. He only hopes that he won't be a short-lived ghost in his next life. Relaxing his
whole body, You XiaoMo slowly waits for the moment when he sinks to his death under the water.

Maybe because he has completely unburdened himself, he starts to feel something is not right.
Flipping open his eyes, he is stunned to find that the water is only waist deep. -_-||.......

Only then does You XiaoMo realize that he is no longer in his room. He finds himself in unfamiliar
surroundings, standing in a lake. The lake takes up a fifth of the area. It's a peculiar space. White
clouds and blue skies above. A clear day but with no sun in sight. After careful examination, he finds
out that everything is static. The white clouds show no signs of movement. There is no sound of wind
in the air. The fresh green grass bows to the ground but remains motionless. Even the lake below him
lacks the slightest ripple.

You XiaoMo looks down at the blue tear drop lying quietly on his chest. Could it be that he is here
now because he accidentally touched it? With that in mind, he can't help but stretch out his hand and
touches it again. Unexpectedly everything turns black in front of his eyes, *pu tong*, and he finds
himself back in the tub of hot water. His ice-cold body that was completely submerged in the lake
slowly starts to warm up.

You XiaoMo stares at the blue teardrop on his chest. After hesitating for quite a while, he finally
decides to leave it alone. He hastily finishes his bath and climbs out of the tub and puts on his clothes.
It could be his imagination but he feels more invigorated than he was before. In order to discard the
bath water, You XiaoMo again makes several trips. At this time the sky starts to darken. There doesn't
seem to be anyone up and about, only the occasional disciples on patrol. Because it is his first day
here, being in unfamiliar surroundings, You XiaoMo doesn't dare to run about wildly. After finishing
pouring away the bath water, You XiaoMo returns to his room. He lights a candle, lighting up the
room and then takes the book on his desk and continues his reading.

Speaking about mages, even though there are three big peaks in TianXin sect, the reality is, very
few people can become mages. It's not a question of the lack of effort, but rather the lack of natural
talent. In order to determine if someone can become a mage, the most straightforward method is to
look at his soul. Only souls with colored auras can become mages. The martial artists on the other
hand, all have colorless transparent souls. Long Xiang continent has thousands upon tens of thousands
of people, however colored auras appear in only one percent of the people. That's to say, only one in
a hundred can become mages. Furthermore, these may not necessarily be high level mages, most
likely ending up as low level mages. Clearly, mages are a rarity in Long Xiang continent. Since
surveying a person's soul is now widely used to identify potential mages, most major sects carry a
soul detection crystal, the size of a small bowl. It's only because of this that You XiaoMo is able to
avoid a disaster. After successfully entering TianXin sect as a probationary disciple, he no longer has
to get his soul appraised. However, where he goes from here, still depends on his own efforts.

Chapter 9

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Legendary SoulThe next day, You XiaoMo follows his brother disciples to the main hall of the Hall
of Enchanted Herbs. The Hall of Enchanted Herbs is the most important place in Earth peak, where
all disciples must go to every day. Brother Li was in charge of bringing them over but because he has
his own assignments, he doesn't have to the time to teach them. It just so happens that Elder Brother
has some free time so he conveniently takes over.

"Since this is the first time for all of you to encounter these things, I won't get into the
complicated issues. Let's start with the fundamentals. Displayed in front of you are the
enchanted herbs required to refine magic pills. Go ahead and take a look."

While speaking, Fang ChenLe brings forward the potted herbs from behind him and places them in
front of them. You XiaoMo like everyone else looks curiously at the enchanted herbs in the small
pots. Enchanted herbs is a general term for enchanted medicinal materials. But not all enchanted
medicinal materials come in herb form. For example the second small potted plant on the left hand
side, is the level one enchanted herb peaceful spirit flower.

Fang ChenLe then introduces them to the levels of enchanted herbs. Just like with mages, enchanted
herbs are also categorized by levels. From level one to level twelve. The higher the level of the
enchanted herb, the higher the level of the resulting magic pill. But this also depends on the level of
the mage. Low level mages can refine level one to level three magic pills. Intermediate level mages
can refine level one to level six magic pills. As for high level mages, they are subject to the most
jealousy in Long Xiao continent. It is also the highest money making profession. However, the success
rate of refining magic pills decreases with each increase in level. For example, level nine and level
ten magic pills. Even for well established celebrated high level mages, they can't even guarantee a
10% success rate. On top of that, the necessary enchanted herbs for these types of magic pills are very
rare.

Beyond these are the level eleven and level twelve magic pills and enchanted herbs. These two
types are basically the stuff of legends. It is said that only the legendary seven colored soul mage is
able to refine these pills. However there has not been a single seven colored soul mage in Long Xian
continent for over ten thousand years. So for over ten thousand years, it remains only a legend. Even if
there was, finding level eleven and level twelve enchanted herbs is no easy task.

You XiaoMo has already read all of this information in the books. Although he already knows it by
heart, he still listens carefully to the explanation by Elder brother. Further consolidation will only be
of benefit to him. Fang ChenLe also seems to notice the earnest little brother, nodding his head in
approval. This information is of the most basic level, easily obtained from books. Because of that,
when he relays this to new disciples, there rarely are any that pay such close attention. So it is very
rare to come by such an earnest and patient little brother. Fang ChenLe inevitably takes notice of him.
"For now, familiarize yourselves with the level one enchanted herbs. Two hours later I will
come back to explain the fundamentals of mages." With that, Fang ChenLe allowed the disciples
to go their own way. Seeing his brothers rush over to examine the enchanted herbs, You XiaoMo
simply calls out and stops Fang ChenLe. Fang ChenLe hears a pleasant voice coming from behind
him. Turning back, he sees the earnest little brother looking expectantly at him with a pair of big black
eyes. He can't help but find it quite funny.

"XiaoMo little brother, what is it?"

You XiaoMo didn't expect that he would remember his name. Looking down bashfully he says,
"Elder brother, I wish to take a look at the medicine garden. May I?"

Fang ChenLe freezes, sizing up You XiaoMo, then finally nods his head saying, "Of course you
may, I was originally thinking that giving too much information today will be too much of a
burden, but since it's your request, then it's fine. But for now, you only can access the level one
medicine garden."

"Thank you Elder brother." You XiaoMo quickly thanks him in delight.

Fang ChenLe smiles and tells him no thanks is necessary, and then takes him there.

The main medicine garden is the most important place in TianXin sect. Any sect that wishes for
long-term expansion cannot separate themselves from it. Therefore the medicine garden is a restricted
area. Unless one has a direct order from the Grand Master, only the elders charged with taking care of
the gardens are allowed inside. But the main medicine garden only grows enchanted herbs above
level five. Level five and below are open to the public.

The three main peaks of the Mage division have five medicine gardens each. One for each level
from level one enchanted herbs to level five. You XiaoMo is a newly minted probationary disciple so
he only has access to the level one garden.

Chapter 10

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Discovery in the Medicine Garden.

Fang ChenLe brings him to the medicine garden, and notifies the disciple on guard before leaving.
Knowing that You XiaoMo was brought here by the Elder brother, the disciple gives him no trouble,
simply bringing up several important points to take note of before letting him enter.

The level one garden is very big, mostly because the need is great, so it's necessary to prepare
beforehand. Upon entering, You XiaoMo sees a huge expanse of enchanted herbs swaying with the
wind. The most familiar enchanted herb is the contusion herb, green colored stems and leaves, with
small purple flower buds on top. This type of enchanted herb is very effective against external
injuries. However most mages don't use it to refine magic pills for treating external injuries. For
mystics, external injuries are small matters, so they rarely refine magic pills to treat external injuries.
However, female mystics have a different view, after all preserving beauty is an inherent part of
being a woman. Flanking the contusion herb are the winter ice herb and the peaceful spirit flower.
These two enchanted herbs are frequently used in refining level one magic pills, so the quantity
planted is comparatively greater.

You XiaoMo squats in front of the peaceful spirit flower. Unsure if it is just his imagination, he
feels that the flower on his left is comparatively lacking in vitality, while the one on his right is
blooming very magnificently and full of vitality. A thin layer of white mist seems to envelop the stems
and leaves of the one on the right. What it is, he doesn't know. Looking at the other peaceful spirit
flowers, there isn't any that looks as good. Most importantly, the other plants also lack the thin layer
of white mist. You XiaoMo stares absorbedly, his head full of questions. Because he can't be sure if
he was seeing things, You XiaoMo decides to shift positions.

Unexpectedly he finds five plants with the same condition among the winter ice herbs. Without
exception, the plants suffused in white mist are all full of vitality and vigor. It's too bad You XiaoMo
does not have a deep understanding of enchanted herbs, so he has no idea what it means. But he's
definitely not stupid, so he vaguely guesses that those few plants must be of the highest quality. You
XiaoMo then simply throws this to the back of his head.

Even though Elder brother had asked them to re-assemble two hours later, You XiaoMo was too
absorbed in examining the enchanted herbs that he forgot all about it. By the time he came back to
earth, he realizes that Elder brother is standing behind him smiling slightly. Surprised, You XiaoMo
looks up at the sky and realizes the time. He hastily apologizes, "I'm sorry Elder brother, I, I forgot
the time."

Fang ChenLe does not rebuke him, instead smiles at him saying, "It's hard to come by such an
earnest little brother, Elder brother is very content. Luckily, this is the basics class, so there's
not much content, so I'll just explain it again for you. Just make sure you're not late next time."
You XiaoMo feels a little uncomfortable but can only say weakly, "Thank you Elder brother."

Returning to the Hall of Enchanted Herbs, Fang ChenLe proceeds to give him a personal lesson.
Before, he taught them about enchanted herbs, this time, he explains the basics of being a mage. The
ratio of martial artists and mages in Long Xiao continent to the general population is one to a hundred.
Since the population of Long Xiao continent exceeds a trillion, there is no shortage of mages. The real
shortage lies in the number of high level mages. The threshold between an intermediate level mage
and a high level mage is a very high step that many intermediate level mages have no way of
achieving. This is related to the inborn talent of the mage. The soul level determines the future of the
mage. The higher the soul level, the rarer it is. For example, You XiaoMo and the other disciples that
entered with him. They all come from the same district, but among them, only Jiang Liu has a blue
aura. However, low inborn talent does not mean that there will never come a time when one can hold
one's head up high. There is a niche in every occupation. There will always be people with
specialized skills in each area. Even low level mages can have their areas of success.

"Elder brother, low level mages can only refine low level magic pills. But, a lot of low level
mages are also able to refine them. Since only rare things are considered to be valuable, what
success can there be?" You XiaoMo doesn't really understand what he means.

Fang ChenLe says with a smile in his eyes, as if the question was not unexpected, "Little brother
must know, why there is always good and bad for everything."

You XiaoMo ponders for a moment before lighting up, "Don't tell me it's because magic pills
also have problems with quality?"

"That's right, you guessed it so quickly. It seems little brother is quite smart."

Fang ChenLe nods his head in satisfaction. He praises him because when he had asked other young
disciples, they were not as quick as him. You XiaoMo lowers his head, his ears a little red, neither
confirming or denying. After all, he doesn't dare to say that he is from the modern era, so he is more
sensitive to this problem. Because there are many counterfeits in the modern era so the question of
quality is on everyone's minds. Even he himself has done some research on this question.

"The quality of magic pills depends on the enchanted herbs. If the enchanted herbs used were not
cultivated properly, the resulting magic pills would fall short of their promise. Therefore, magic pills
are divided into three grades. Low, medium, and top grades, with top grade as the best.

"So that's how it is." You XiaoMo senses something flash by in his mind but it disappears before
he could catch it. His intuition tells him that it is something important but he fails to figure it out right
up to the end of the lesson. Only upon returning to his room does he suddenly cry out *ah*.

"Could it be what I saw this morning?"

Chapter 11

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Repeat encounter with a 'familiar persons'.In the morning, You XiaoMo discovered that the growth
conditions of the magic herbs in the medicine garden are somewhat different. At first he could not
understand why. Now he guesses that it should be a question of quality. Although he doesn't know why
magic herbs grown in the same medicine garden would be of different qualities, he is certain that
there must be a reason. Perhaps it's the uneven absorption of nutrients or the effect of some other
external influences. No matter the reason, You XiaoMo is very excited over this discovery. If he can
discern the relative quality of the magic herbs, it would make the process of searching for magic
herbs much easier for him later. However You XiaoMo feels that it would be embarrassing to ask his
fellow disciples at this time, but if he doesn't, he feels that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. After
turning this over in his head, he decides to consult the library. The library is all encompassing so it
should have contents that cover this aspect.

After hastily finishing his dinner, You XiaoMo does not return to his room with his fellow
disciples, but heads directly to the library. Guarding the library is the same old man with the serious
expression. Unlike the last time, because it's not his first time here, You XiaoMo hands over his
identity tablet without being asked, and like before, receives a black seal.

"Thank you uncle." You XiaoMo thanks him politely before heading to the East pavilion. You
XiaoMo with his back turned does not know that the old man twitches when he hears the word 'uncle'.
His impression of this probationary disciple inevitably grows stronger.

Entering the library, You XiaoMo subconsciously looks to see if there are other people around. The
last time he had jumped in shock when the young man unexpectedly appeared. He doesn't want that to
happen again. Being spied on is not a good feeling. But You XiaoMo is just being paranoid. Usually
there is rarely anyone present in the first floor of the East and West pavilions. Because the volumes
are rather large, unlikely to be finished in a few hours, so most people would choose to bring them
back to their own rooms.

On the second row of bookshelves, You XiaoMo finds a book on the topmost shelf ------ Common
problems associated with growing magic herbs. The book is about 2 cm thick. Taking into account
You XiaoMo's speed, he probably wouldn't finish reading it even after a day. So he decides to take
the book back to his room. After all, he definitely will be needing this knowledge later.

But You XiaoMo does not leave immediately. He looks through the other bookshelves and only
prepares to leave when he doesn't find any other useful books. But just when he turns around, he feels
a disturbance from one side of his body. This is followed by the appearance of a white silhouette
from out of thin air. And right after, a pink figure appears on the left side of the white figure. After
taking a clearer look, he realizes that they are actually the same pair he saw the last time at the West
pavilion.

Because they appeared very close to You XiaoMo this time, the man seems to sense his presence
almost immediately. The eyes that resemble two cold stars inlaid in the chiseled handsome face
suddenly fall squarely on You XiaoMo. The unfeeling gaze causes You XiaoMo to feel a cold shudder
from head to toe, his hand trembling while holding the book. He had originally assumed that this
Elder brother and Junior sister were from the Military division. But seeing them appear in the East
pavilion, You XiaoMo is now unsure. Are they of the East or West pavilion?

At first the girl dressed in pink was not aware of You XiaoMo, but since all her attention was
focused on the man, once he looked over at him, she immediately becomes aware of his presence,
immediately creasing her eyebrows.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen beautiful people? Scram!"

"........"

Such unprecedented shameless behavior. Fine. You win, pretty girl! You XiaoMo really doesn't
like this type of cunning and obstinate girls. One look at it's obvious that she is thoroughly spoilt.
Getting involved could only result in himself suffering a huge loss. While leaving, he can still hear the
petulant voice of the pink dressed girl towards the man.

"Brother Xiao, you clearly promised father that you would accompany YunYun to the library.
Why do you suddenly want to leave? How hateful, I still haven't finished reading."

With a start, You XiaoMo quickly picks up speed and flees from the East pavilion.

Chapter 12

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

The danger of magic pills.Returning to his room, You XiaoMo's mind slowly clears up. The words
of the pink dressed girl revealed quite a bit of information. That 'Elder brother' most probably is a top
level disciple of the Warrior division while the pink dressed girl should be a mage. Even though You
XiaoMo is not very sociable, he knows that she couldn't possibly be from Earth peak. That pink
dressed girl should be a disciple from Heaven peak or Flying peak. Tossing out the petulant voice of
the pink dressed girl from his mind, You XiaoMo starts to read his book seriously.

Speaking of the quality of magic herbs, the book actually does touch on the subject. Magic herbs
will grow differently depending on the method of cultivation, leading to good and bad magic herbs.
However, without exception, regardless of cultivation method, the quality of magic herbs have never
exceeded 95% perfection. Of course, this would directly affect the quality of magic pills. It is
recorded in the book that problems arose in the method of cultivating magic herbs several thousand
years ago. From then on, no one has been able to cultivate top quality magic herbs, affecting the
usability ratio of the herbs. Therefore, magic pills are divided into 3 grades, top, middle, and low
grades.

Flipping further, You XiaoMo studies how to judge the quality of magic herbs. Simply put, it's
related to the spiritual energy absorbed by mystics. Magic herbs are so-called because they absorb
the spiritual energy of the universe. With spiritual energy flowing in the meridians of the magic herbs,
soaking in day by day, growing to maturity. Therefore the quality of the magic herbs can be
determined by the amount of spiritual energy contained in them. Only now does You XiaoMo
understand that the white mist he saw earlier on the stems and leaves of the peaceful spirit flower in
the medicine garden represents magic herbs of the best quality. But the probability of this happening
is not high. Even in the level one medicine garden, there are only the occasional few plants. What
more the high level magic herbs? The probability of this happening is practically zero.

Furthermore, because of the different magic pill grades, there is a predetermined risk for the
martial artists of the Warrior division when they take the pills. The lower the grade of the magic pills,
the higher the risk. For example for low grade magic pills, since the quality of the magic herbs lie
between 60-70%, the risk for the martial artists when they take low grade magic pills reaches up to
35%. Not high yet not low. The results for mid grade magic pills are slightly better. Since the quality
of the magic herbs are from 70-85%, so the risk of taking mid grade magic pills is only 20%.
Naturally, the lowest risk is the top grade magic pills. The quality of top grade magic herbs is 90% so
the risk of top grade magic pills is only 8%. This is why top grade magic pills have always been the
goal of mages and martial artists. The high level mages of Long Xiao continent, other than spending
time refining magic pills, also regularly devote themselves to researching the cultivation methods of
magic herbs.

However, there are some exceptions. Five hundred years ago, a high level mage discovered
another way of reducing the risk of magic pills. That is to refine the extraction process, removing the
impurities. The more impurities are removed, the better the quality of the magic herbs, leading to
decreasing risk in the resulting magic pills. Later, when the discovery was passed on, it caused a huge
uproar among mages. From then on, more and more mages adopted this method. One after another,
hoping to further distill the magic herbs to reduce the risk of the magic pills. However, this method
can only reduce the risk of the magic pills, not increase the grade. That's because the grade of magic
pills is dependent on the level of spiritual energy contained in the magic herbs. Removing more
impurities does not affect the original level of spiritual energy contained in the magic herbs.
Regardless, the method discovered by the high level mage is still very useful. Going through the
distillation process, the risk of low grade magic pills is reduced to 15%, mid grade to 10%, and top
grade to 5%.

All this information leaves You XiaoMo confused and disoriented. It's really quite complicated.
Now he understands why those disciples said earlier that refining magic pills is not easy. Looks like
it takes so many steps just to refine one magic pill. Refining a level two magic pill within 6 months
does not seem plausible no matter how you look at it. You XiaoMo's head starts to ache. Looks like
he needs to put in 200% of effort if he plans to stay with TianXin sect.

Chapter 13

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

The Force of the Soul.The next day, by the time You XiaoMo leaves his room, his neighboring
brothers have already left for the Hall of Enchanted Herbs. You XiaoMo's interaction with them is
neither hot nor cold. Usually, when they encounter each other he would give the usual greetings,
nothing more. Therefore he definitely does not have a tight relationship with them. They must be
aware of their own precarious situation. After all, their inborn talent is not much. Furthermore, they
are the newest disciples. So, they have to be more conscientious, heading off to look for elder
disciples early in the morning, in order to get on their good side. You XiaoMo is the last to arrive.

Once again, the person leading them today is Elder brother Fang ChenLe. Because of his earlier
good impression of You XiaoMo, he simply nods his head in acknowledgement at You XiaoMo
without rebuking him when he arrives. As for a few of the other disciples, who were ready
displeased at having to wait just for him alone, upon seeing that Elder brother does not reproach him,
it only increases their dislike for him. You XiaoMo feels ashamed for being late, unaware that
feelings of resentment towards him have begun to arise in the others. It can't be helped, he was
reading late into the night, so he woke up late.

Only after You XiaoMo takes his seat, does Fang ChenLe start today's lesson. The work of a mage
is to refine magic pills. But that does not mean one is able to do it just because one wants to do it.
That's because there is a very important factor that is needed - the force of the soul. Only souls with
colored auras possess this force. Therefore the first step in becoming a mage is to stimulate this force.
How to stimulate this force is the most important point of Fang ChenLe's lecture today.

"There is a risk to stimulating this force, but it's definitely not a huge risk. As long as you
follow the steps I give you, there wouldn't be any problems."

As he says this, Fang ChenLe personally hands each person a magic herb. Once everyone has
gotten one, he continues his explanation.

"What you have in your hands is a magic herb called Soul herb. It is a level two magic herb.
It's not quite like other magic herbs. It's chief use is not to refine magic pills, but to stimulate
the soul's force. Now, pick out the most tender leaf in the middle and eat it. You will then feel its
effect. You may feel a little pain but just endure it and it will pass."

Hearing this, everyone is eager to try the magic herb. You XiaoMo is no exception. He carefully
picks out the most tender leaf and places it in his mouth ...... Fifteen minutes later, You XiaoMo finally
regains consciousness. However, his head is covered in sweat. The back of his body completely
drenched, as if he had just been fished out of water. The first thought that flashes through his mind is
that he was duped. Now he understands what 'a little pain' really means. It's not just a little but rather
so much that he would have been better off dead. He almost killed himself by biting his tongue.
Luckily he ultimately managed to persevere to the end. Looking at the others, although they have all
survived through it, some appear more tragic than others, sprawled out on the floor.

"Looks like everyone survived the ordeal. Let Elder brother first congratulate everyone on
successfully getting over the threshold into the world of alchemy." Fang ChenLe beams at them,
not in the least affected by the aggrieved expression in their eyes.

Although everyone feels that Elder brother is too cunning, no one dares to say so.

"Elder brother, now can we start refining magic pills?" You XiaoMo asks as he struggles to
keep his wits about him.

"Of course, since you all have successfully stimulated the force of the soul. But first, I must
warn you." Seeing that he is the first to recover, Fang ChenLe gives him an approving nod. Everyone
perks up their ears.

"I have already brought this up during yesterday's lesson. Level one magic herbs are of the
lowest level. Therefore it is easily available. So you all may have unlimited access to level one
magic herbs. But for level two magic herbs, Earth peak will allot a predetermined amount to
you each month according to your circumstances."

You XiaoMo assumes that this is to prevent waste, but it also causes a huge problem. Before he
could open his mouth someone beats him to it.

"Elder brother, what happens when we've used up our quota?"

"If you want more, you can only trade for it. There are two ways to trade. One way is to use
your physical effort to collect merit points. And then use these merit points to trade for magic
herbs. You can earn these points by cleaning the canteen or the Hall of Enchanted Herbs. You
can help the elder disciples take care of magic herbs or guard the gardens and other such
tasks." Fang ChenLe smiles while speaking.

After hearing this everyone can't help but look at each other in dismay. Clearly it was unexpected.
After struggling to enter TianXin sect, they still have to carry out odd jobs.

You XiaoMo then asks curiously, "Elder brother, what about the other way?"

Fang ChenLe's smile gets even deeper. "The other way is very simple. That's to go down and
buy them at the foot of the mountain. There are a lot of shops selling magic herbs down there.
But you have to bear the expense yourselves. TianXin sect does not have strict regulations on
this. Each disciple is allowed to go down twice a month."

Hearing this, a few brothers heave sighs of relief. On the other hand, You XiaoMo's expression
darkens. This method is useless to him because he has no money. Looks like he has another
assignment. Make money!

Chapter 14

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

A Long Way to Go.After asking around, You XiaoMo finally understands what the merit points are
all about. One stalk of level two magic herbs is worth 5 merit points. Cleaning the canteen or Hall of
Enchanted Herbs will earn you 20 points a day. Not a lot, but also not too little. But since not
everyone will have the chance to do these housekeeping chores, it is decided on a rotating basis. The
number of Earth peak disciples are definitely not few. Other than a few wealthy disciples, most of
them are of humble origins. So they are all vying for these few slots, especially for the task of helping
the elder disciples guard the medicine gardens. That's because this task is relatively easy but the
number of merit points gained is comparatively more. Therefore the number of people scrambling
over these assignments are not just a few.

But winning a spot is not guaranteed even if you fight for it. That's because connections is a very
important factor. If a connected person recommends you, then the probability of success is about 80%.
Without connections, don't even dream of being chosen, even just appearing in front of the elder
disciples is a problem. Thinking through this critical point, You XiaoMo now understands why some
people are so eager to butter up to the other disciples. Be that as it may, You XiaoMo doesn't just go
ahead and start to butter up to his superiors. He is not so egoistic to think that the elders would take a
liking to him if he goes up to rub shoulders with them eagerly. As for Fang ChenLe, it never even
crossed his mind. Even though they have spoken a few times, who knows what kind of person the
Elder brother is. If by chance he finds it distasteful, then it would not be worth it. But luckily, a level
two mage is still a long way for him. You XiaoMo decides to go with the flow and not worry about
this problem for now. Casting aside that vexing problem, his whole person suddenly feels much
lighter. It just happens to be lunch time, so You XiaoMo follows the others to the canteen from behind.

The three persons walking in front of him are older than him, so they can be considered as his elder
brothers. These three people are swarming around Big brother Zhao. Big brother Zhao and Elder
brother are both Master Kong's disciples. Big brother Zhao is disciple number 5, a level two mage.
But it's said that he is on the verge of breaking through to level three. Compared to them, he is more
senior and more knowledgable. In order to ensure a better future in Earth peak, a few disciples will
go up to him from time to time to gather some information. Of course they are very respectful.

"Big brother Zhao, we have just been here a few days. Still clueless over a lot of things.
Would you be kind enough to tell us a thing or two?"

"You'd like to know?" Seems like they might have success, Big brother Zhao seems quite pleased.

"We'd like to know how the competition is for the task of taking care of the medicine
gardens." one of them asks cautiously.

Big brother Zhao huffs *chi*, saying "Don't even think about it. There are not many medicine
gardens in Earth peak. Even by taking turns it would never reach you. If the Elder disciples need
someone, they would look for their own disciples. As for the medicine gardens of the Master,
Elder brother, and 2nd brother, they all already have fixed guardians."

This is a disappointment but not unexpected. They are after all newly minted probationary
disciples. Plump assignments is not something they can expect.

"Big brother Zhao, you just said that Elder brother and 2nd brother have their own medicine
gardens. Don't tell me they are already level 4 mages?"

It is common knowledge that only level 4 mages and up are allowed to have their own medicine
gardens. This point was already covered by Elder brother yesterday.

"Or course. Elder brother and 2nd brother have outstanding talent. Early last year they
became level 4 mages. They can be considered the most outstanding disciples in Earth peak."
Saying this, he glances at their anxious faces. Laughing, he adds, "There's no need to lose heart.
Although the highest for all of you in this lifetime is level 3, if you're willing to work hard, you
may also achieve success in this field." With this, a look of superiority surfaces on his face.
Because his aura is teal, although words of consolation fall from his lips, there is not a shred of
sympathy in his eyes.

The three of them look at each other in dismay, smiling wryly. Indeed, their inborn talent have
already dictated that they could only be low level mages. Level 4 is only something they can look up
at from below, nothing more. When they enter the canteen, You XiaoMo was still rooted at the same
spot staring blankly. After a long time, he starts to feel a little ashamed. Just a while ago he was
rejoicing that he does not need to worry about level 2 at this time. This is while the other disciples
are already planning so far into the future. Indeed, if one were to start looking for chores now, saving
up the merit points bit by bit, these can then be used once level 2 is reached. He actually didn't think
of that. Thinking like this, You XiaoMo suddenly feels that he has a long way to go.

After lunch, You XiaoMo spends the whole afternoon completing the assignment given by Elder
brother. That is to consolidate the force of his soul and to learn the good and bad magical properties
of various magic herbs and so on. This is for them to build a strong foundation to avoid complications
while refining magic pills. Only when the sun is almost setting, does You XiaoMo return to his room.

Wanting to take a bath, You XiaoMo suddenly remembers the Earth peak rule that left him
speechless. He never knew that Earth peak was so poor that even water is restricted. He only found
out yesterday. Each disciple can only take one bath every three days. But there are those take only
take one every ten days or every half a month. But for You XiaoMo, whose body starts to itch if he
misses one day, this is pure torture. But then, there's that place connected to the blue teardrop. Even
though it is unclear what that dimension is, it just so happens to have a lake .......

Discovering the dimension.After fetching a fresh set of clothes, You XiaoMo touches the teardrop.
When he opens his eyes, he is already in the other dimension. This time, his landing site is not in the
water, but by the lake. This is a result of his experiments last night. It is enough just to wish it so in his
heart. After a relaxing bath in the lake, You XiaoMo proceeds to wash his clothes in the lake. Because
he plans to take a bath here often, You XiaoMo already brought a bamboo rack here this morning. He
simply puts the washed clothes on the rack. This way, he wouldn't have to bring a set of clothes
tomorrow.

Since time is not tight, after taking care of things, You XiaoMo decides to finally explore this
dimension. Up till now, he only found one use for this dimension, that is to take a bath. But that's
because this place is really quite simple. One glance and it is clear, it's just a lake and grass, nothing
else. He originally thought that this might be a magical place, but he finds nothing after walking all
around. One lake and the surrounding land, what can be done with this? You XiaoMo looks up at the
clear bright sky, and then down at the thriving weeds under his feet. He suddenly cries out *ah*.

"That's it, that's it, looks like there's one more use for this place, why didn't I think of it
before?"

You XiaoMo paces back and forth excitedly. He taps his head happily while thinking that he seems
to have forgotten something important. He concentrates on the grass under his feet. He finally
remembers. During lunch, Big brother Zhao had brought it up. The rules of the Mage division
stipulates that each level four mage is granted a piece of land. That land can be used to grow magic
herbs. Even though it is not a huge piece, but it remains a dream of every disciple. After all, with a
piece of land, there is no need to do chores or go down the mountain to buy magic herbs. It must be
said, level two magic herbs, even though not expensive, if needed daily, even somewhat wealthy
people may not be able to bear the costs. Not to mention level three magic herbs. That's why it's still
most satisfying to have one's own piece of land.

You XiaoMo looks over the ground covered in weeds. Isn't this a convenient piece of land? To
think that I was agonizing over how to find chores to earn merit points for the past two days. At this
time, he is already certain that this dimension belongs to that blue teardrop on his chest. Although he
doesn't know why there is a dimension in the blue teardrop, but since it is on his body, as long as
nothing happens to it, this dimension should not disappear. This way, if he is to plant magic herbs in
this space, it presumably wouldn't be discovered by anyone else.

Immediately putting his thoughts into action, You XiaoMo rolls up his sleeves and gets ready to
start weeding. Even though weeding is very tiring, but thinking that he would soon have a big piece of
usable land, You XiaoMo is full of excitement. This sense of excitement is transformed into
motivation. When he finally completes a ten meter square plot, he is so tired that he can no longer
move his fingers. No pain no gain! That's just how it is!
You XiaoMo puts the weeds in a pile. He takes off his filthy clothes and takes another bath in the
lake before returning to the outside world. Lying on the bed, You XiaoMo feels that his whole body
feels amazingly fresh. Nothing left of the dead tired feeling he felt after weeding. Once again he sighs
in wonder at the magical properties of the lake water. After a few baths in the lake, he made a
discovery. The lake's water has the ability to restore the body and mind. Like this time, he was
obviously so dead tired, but after a bath, he feels an unprecedented sense of refreshment. As if he has
unlimited energy reserves. Thinking of it, You XiaoMo can't help giggling in delight, hugging his
pillow tightly to his chest. He feels as if he has picked up a treasure, getting happier the more he
thinks about it before finally falling asleep.

The next day, he is awake before first light. Taking advantage of the fact that it's still not time for
morning class, You XiaoMo flips through the books he borrowed from the library once more.
Confirming that he has a firm grasp of the contents, he picks up the books and heads to the library.
This trip, his first aim is to return the four books he borrowed before. The second aim is to borrow
more books. He is afraid that the old man guarding the library would object to him borrowing too
many books so he decides to return the ones he has.

Joy puts heart into a man, You XiaoMo is no exception. But excessive walking on air may result in
tragedy just around the corner. So when he hears two people talking on the other side of the wall, he
suddenly feels like stabbing both his ears. He had always thought that those schemes and intrigues on
TV is very far from his reality. So much so that he would never have any contact with them. For the
first time, he finds out that they are actually quite close to him.

"Elder brother, since Junior sister likes you, why do you still keep her at arm's length?"

Chapter 16

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Precision control.You XiaoMo feels a little uneasy. Just when he was hesitating over whether he
should continue eavesdropping, the two people walk further away, their voices getting softer. He
practically can't hear "Elder brother's" reply, or maybe he didn't answer. Whatever the case, he
didn't hear it. Even though he didn't her the "Elder brother's" voice, You XiaoMo subconsciously
thinks back to the pair he encountered in the library. Could it be the Junior sister they referred to is
that girl? You XiaoMo doesn't dare to dwell on it further, quickly forgetting all about the matter.

Hurrying to the library, You XiaoMo returns the four books before borrowing another two. One of
the books records the magic herbs found on LongXiao continent up to level six. It also has colored
drawings. Most of the common magic herbs are included. The other book is on basic alchemy.
Tomorrow he will start refining magic pills. It would be good to read up beforehand on the important
points so that he would know what to do if something goes wrong.

You XiaoMo leaves in high spirits after borrowing the books, completely unaware that the old man
guarding the library suddenly opens his eyes and scrutinizes him. He has guarded the library for
almost one hundred years and this is the first time he has seen a probationary disciple run here twice
every three days. Although he has inferior inborn talent, he is a hard working baby. But that's all it is,
the old man soon shuts his eyes again.

After this, You XiaoMo simply brings along the books to the canteen for breakfast. Since he spent
some time looking for books at the library, when he arrives, there is a sea of people. The food is also
mostly gone. Luckily he is not a rice bucket. After breakfast, You XiaoMo follows along several
disciples who were going the same way towards the Hall of Enchanted Herbs.

For todays lesson, Elder brother Fang no longer focuses on book knowledge. Since they have
already stimulated the force of the soul, today they can start trying to refine magic pills. Elder brother
Fang brings them to a stone room. Five cauldrons are placed in a row, on stone platforms. Next to
each is a rectangle wooden table.

"From today onwards, this is where you will be refining magic pills. Now choose one
cauldron and stand by it."

You XiaoMo is standing at the back, so by the time he goes over, the other four have already chosen
their cauldrons, leaving him the one right at the back.

After seeing that they have chosen their cauldrons, Elder brother Fang says, "Now look at the
cauldron in front of you. It is the tool by which you will refine magic pills. Level one and level
two magic pills can be refined in this cauldron."

Hearing him say level one and level two magic pills, You XiaoMo blurts out, "Elder brother,
don't tell me that level three magic pills cannot be refined in this cauldron?"
The other four disciples immediately give him looks of contempt. Elder brother clearly stated level
one and level two. Of course level three cannot be refined in this cauldron and yet he actually asks
such a stupid question. You XiaoMo dreadfully regrets it after the words popped out of his mouth.

Fang ChenLe smiles, but does not rebuke him, "Level three magic pills is the first threshold for
mages. It requires the use of a stronger force that an ordinary cauldron would not be able to
support. So changing cauldrons is required at every stage unless one starts out with a relatively
good cauldron."

You XiaoMo hangs down his head, it seems to him that is again a question of money.

Following that, Fang ChenLe explains how to use the cauldron. Simply speaking, it is to transport
the force of the soul into the cauldron. Because ordinary cauldrons have three small openings on the
top, the soul force has to be divided into three before entering the cauldron. Therefore this depends on
how skilled a mage is in manipulating the soul force. If the skill is bad, even with top grade magic
herbs, with good luck, a low grade magic pill will be produced, with bad luck, the magic herbs will
be rendered useless. Therefore the ability to control the soul force with precision is very important
when refining magic pills.

Fang ChenLe has his own things to take care of, so he can't stay by their side while they practice.
So he calls over a relatively younger disciple named Wu to help out. After he leaves, You XiaoMo
and the others throw themselves into practice.

Everything is hard in the beginning. This saying is quite true. Just when You XiaoMo is deep in
thought trying to figure out how to divide the soul force, one of the other disciples goes ahead
impatiently. *peng* The cauldron flies from the explosion. When You XiaoMo looks over, that
disciple is already red-faced, full of disbelief.

Big brother Wu who the Elder brother had entrusted them to doesn't seem fazed, since he has
witnessed more unexpected things. He walks over and gives the disciple a few pointers. The others
quickly prick up their ears, including You XiaoMo. You XiaoMo takes a deep breath. When his
concentration is at a high point, he sees a white diaphanous ball in front of him. That's the essence of
the soul force. Under his control, he divides the soul force into three equal parts, before bringing them
close to the three openings and drops them in. He can feel the soul force flooding the ice-cold narrow
space. He can even 'see' what is happening inside. Dark surface, metal that is both black and hard
with the occasional glimmer from other metals. Going down the openings, he finally 'sees' the whole
space. It's a cavity with nothing else.

You XiaoMo moves the soul force around the space before retrieving it. When he snaps out of it, he
feels that the stone room is strangely quiet. He raises his head to see the others staring blankly at him,
including Big brother Wu who is looking at him in amazement.

Notes:

twice every three days - almost every day


mountains and oceans of people - sea of people

rice bucket - big eater

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

The first time in the limelight.You XiaoMo feels embarrassed from being stared at. After some
hesitation, he asks, "May I ask if something's wrong?"

Immediately, everyone comes back to their senses. Other than Big brother Wu, the other disciples
wrinkle their brows. The relatively expressionless Big brother Wu finally reveals a slight smile and
nods at him, "There's nothing wrong. You did pretty well. Successfully dividing the soul force on
the first try, like how Elder brother did during his time."

These words are unmistakably words of praise. The other disciples are immediately shocked. Big
brother Wu actually compared him to Elder brother. This clearly means that his ability to control the
soul force must be quite extraordinary. Then thinking of how they failed after several tries, their faces
turn quite unsightly. Their inborn talent is about the same as that of You XiaoMo. Other than the one
with the yellow aura, the lowest among them, the other three are green. But now they have been
bested by the youngest disciple. Furthermore, it's the one they dislike, leaving them suddenly feeling
dissatisfied.

You XiaoMo doesn't think much about it. After being praised by Big brother Wu, he laughs a little
in embarrassment. You XiaoMo really didn't want to stand out. How would he know that he would
succeed in his first attempt? If he had known it would be like this, he would have simply failed a few
times to avoid this. Actually, he is aware that these four disciples don't really like him. But he just
doesn't want to invite trouble, so he had always pretended to be clueless. Now that he has outshone
them, looks like there will be an added chip on their shoulders!

Big brother Wu does not let him practice something else just because he succeeded. After a word
of praise, he lets them go on practicing. You XiaoMo also doesn't want to stand out too much, so he
continues to practice dividing the soul force. But it gets really dull repeating the same thing over and
over again so a question starts to form in his head. Can the soul force be divided into four? Thinking
of this, You XiaoMo secretly looks at the other disciples. They are all completely absorbed. Big
brother Wu is also not looking his way. But he still needs to be careful. He doesn't dare to do it in the
open. But if he does it in the cauldron, it should be fine. You XiaoMo observes the situation for a bit
and only starts when he is certain that he won't be found out.

First, he divides the soul force into three. Then he drops them into the cauldron. Once they reach
the bottom, he quietly divides each further into another three, and let them run around in the cauldron.
Over here to his opening, then over there to that opening, even to the extent of tying them in knots. In
order to challenge himself, You XiaoMo decides to tie a bow.

Just when he was playing to his heart's content, the other disciples finally succeed. When You
XiaoMo looks over at them, they all look tired out and are sweating profusely. They also look
spiritless, as if they had used up too much of their energy, on the point of collapse. Big brother Wu
doesn't allow them to strain themselves further, ordering them to stop and rest.
You XiaoMo quietly retrieves his line of sight. Looking down at the soul force bow in his cauldron,
he suddenly feels embarrassed. He really didn't mean to be so exceptional. He doesn't understand
why the other four disciples are so dead tired just from dividing the soul force. He himself is still full
of vigor.

In order not to appear strong willed, You XiaoMo recalls his soul force and then sits on the floor
like the rest of them. Unexpectedly Brother Chen at his side huffs in contempt. You XiaoMo looks up
in surprise and sees the raging flames of anger in Brother Chen's eyes. Although it is not terribly
obvious, it definitely wouldn't go unnoticed. What could this be about?

How could he know that although he doesn't wish to stand out, but anyone with eyes can see that he
is not the tiniest bit tired. But he still sits down with them to take a break, as if poking fun at them.
How can the four disciples not be furious! On the inside, You XiaoMo's face is covered in tears. He
really doesn't know what he has done to offend them.

At this point, Big brother Wu who had just gone out comes back inside. He heads straight for You
XiaoMo with something in his hands.

"These are level one magic herbs. You can all now start to practice dissolving them."

Saying this, he places the magic herbs on the wooden tables. Six types all together, twenty stalks
for each type. Other than him, the other disciples also receive their share but they were only given
three types. One can well imagine the other four disciples adding one more chip on their shoulders.

You XiaoMo turns his head and quietly sheds tears. Big brother Wu, are you trying to make me
even more hated?

Chapter 18

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Success rate.Refining magic pills can't be considered hard nor easy. The process is related to what
they have just practiced, the ability to control the soul force. If their ability is high, there will be less
chance of failure. The opposite is also true. That's why Big brother Wu gives You XiaoMo six types
of magic herbs, because his ability is high. This is also a type of endorsement of his skill.

The other four disciples are extremely dissatisfied but they dare not voice out their objections. This
is a decision made by Big brother Wu. He is of the same seniority as Elder brother. No matter how
dissatisfied they feel, they dare not object. Furthermore, the truth is, they are not up to You XiaoMo's
standard. If they were to make unreasonable demands at this point, they could leave a bad impression
on Big brother Wu. But towards You XiaoMo, this time they will certainly bear a grudge. He really
stood out in front of Big brother Wu, leaving them appearing useless in comparison.

You XiaoMo has no idea, but even if he does, what can he do? After receiving the magic herbs, he
simply throws himself into refining magic pills. There are several steps in refining magic pills. Each
step is just like what he practiced before. Take the soul force and drop them into the three small
openings. The actual use for these three small openings is to extract the magic herbs.

After introducing the soul force. You XiaoMo chooses three types of magic herbs, contusion herb,
living root herb, and peaceful spirit flower. The magic pill from these three magic herbs is called
dispelling pill, used to dispel poison. But its effect is not great, only able to dispel simple poisons.

At first, his actions are not smooth. This is after all his first time extracting magic herbs. He is
unable to remove enough of the impurities. You XiaoMo discovers that he can actually distill them a
few times but he is worried about standing out again, so he only does it once. After removing some
impurities, he drops the magic herbs that have turned into fine powder into the bottom of the cauldron.
He then puts both of his hands into the cauldron.

At this moment, both his hands are covered by a thin layer of diaphanous white mist, his soul force.
He takes the three types of fine powder and blends them together. It's not just simply mixing them
together. There are specific steps to the process. If an error is made in any one of the segments, it will
affect the quality of the magic pill or maybe even result in failure.

But these steps were already explained by Big brother Fang. You XiaoMo also read them in the
book, so he has them firmly in his head. You XiaoMo recalls the teachings of Big brother Fang and
compares them to the steps recorded in the book. He sketches out an outline in his mind and after
finding no mistakes, starts the process according to his plan.

If this was the him from before, he definitely could not have done it. Although his power of memory
in his past life was not bad, he still couldn't have sketched the whole detailed outline in his mind.
That's why he is somewhat amazed at his achievement.
Blending of level one magic pills has five steps. Although simple, one still can't afford to be
careless. A high degree of concentration is required. While referring to the outline in his head, You
XiaoMo uses his ten nimble fingers to go through the steps, slowly blending the three magic herbs
together. First step, second step, ....... when his forehead is covered in a layer of sweat, he finally
succeeds in refining a level one magic pill.

The magic pill is light yellow, with a smooth and glossy surface. One can smell the slight fragrance
of the peaceful spirit flower, a very pleasant fragrance. You XiaoMo examines the pill. This must be a
low grade magic pill. Normal magic pills, no matter what the color, if the color is light, it means that
the grade is low. His pill is light yellow so it must be a low grade magic pill.

Big brother Wu comes over. He gives him a satisfied nod after seeing the magic pill in his hand.
Although it is a low level magic pill of rather low quality, but succeeding in the first try is considered
very fortunate. After a few words of praise, he returns to where he was.

Things like refining magic pills, it's up to the master to lead them through the door, but the rest
depends on the individual. Elder brother Fang took the place of Master Kong to teach them refining
magic pills. But he only covered the basics. The rest depends on the individual's ability to grasp the
concept. So today's class can be considered the final class with Big brother Fang.

After seeing that they have all grasped the basics of refining magic pills, Big brother Wu doesn't
continue to watch over them, only urging them to continue practicing in the afternoon. Just before
leaving, he tells them one thing.

"I'm not sure if Big brother Fang already told you this, regarding the magic pills you make.
Each magic pill can be exchanged for one merit point. But each day you can only earn up to ten
merit points."

Hearing the first part, You XiaoMo is surprised and delighted. He never thought that he could earn
merit points by refining magic pills. Although it is only one point for one pill, it's still better than
nothing. Just when he starts to calculate how many pills he should make each day, Big brother Wu's
last words destroys all his plans. There is obviously no such thing as a free lunch!

But then, this restriction is actually necessary. If not, everyone will refine level one magic pills to
earn merit points. This would also use up a lot of level one magic herbs. Also, the various tasks in
Earth peak will be left undone.

You XiaoMo stays in the stone room and refines magic pills through the whole afternoon. Big
brother Wu did not give out a lot of magic herbs, but because he just stimulated his soul force
yesterday, the reserves of his soul force is not full. He is unable to sustain too much depletion, so he
has to take a break after every five pills. He only finishes using up the magic herbs when the sun is
about set.

Of the forty portions he received, he did not waste a single one. But these forty magic pills are low
grade pills. Although his success rate is a hundred percent, he still needs to improve the quality.
You XiaoMo is not worried. After tidying up, You XiaoMo goes to submit his work before heading
to the canteen.

Thank you all for the comments! I enjoy reading all your speculations but I won't be giving any
hints! :D
Chapter 19

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Before going down the mountain.When You XiaoMo goes to submit his work, the disciple that
records the results was very surprised. Forty level one magic pills. For a new disciple, this number is
quite amazing. But because they are low grade magic pills, he only needs to hand over half. The other
half is his to keep. TianXin sect definitely does not lack level one magic pills. Especially low grade
magic pills because even if they were to sell them, they wouldn't bring in much money. Today, You
XiaoMo's gains are twenty level one magic pills and ten merit points.

Level one magic pills are not worth much to TianXin sect. But for You XiaoMo, it's a valuable
opportunity. Yesterday, after he figured out that he could plant magic herbs in the blue teardrop
dimension, an idea formed in his head. He plans to grow level two magic herbs in that space but he
needs seeds. Although Earth peak collects all types of magic herb seeds, but because he is brand new
probationary disciple, if he were to act rashly, he would only attract attention. You XiaoMo doesn't
want to risk exposing his dimension, so he is left with buying seeds from the foot of the mountain.

But buying seeds requires LongXiao continent currency. Before this, he had rummaged through all
of "You XiaoMo"'s belongings. Surprisingly he only has two sets of clothes and nothing else, leaving
him feeling depressed. No money means he has to first make money. Yesterday he was fretting over
this. He never thought that today he would get this opportunity. So, You XiaoMo decides that two days
later, he would apply for permission to go down the mountain.

In the evening, You XiaoMo doesn't go carry water for his bath. Nowadays, he just heads straight
for the lake in his dimension. He is also not worried that other people would suspect him because
there are many here that don't take baths for two months.

Upon entering the dimension, You XiaoMo is not in a hurry to take a bath. Yesterday he tired out
himself to point of death clearing a ten meter square plot. Although the area is not small, but since
there are many types of magic herbs, he would definitely need more land soon. So You XiaoMo
carries on with his huge weeding project. This night, he clears a big patch of land before taking a
bath.

The next day, You XiaoMo heads to the stone room as usual. The other four disciples are already
there. Although they give him unpleasant looks, they don't say any hurtful words because Elder
brother also arrives, just a few steps behind You XiaoMo.

Seeing You XiaoMo, Fang ChenLe smiles, "Little brother, I already heard from Little brother
Wu. Good job. Worthy of my acknowledgement of you."

Hearing this the delight You XiaoMo feels from seeing him immediately drops to half. Yet another
one trying to get him into trouble. When Elder brother said those words, he clearly felt the
surrounding atmospheric pressure plummet.
"Elder brother, there is something I need your help with. Is this a convenient time?" You
XiaoMo tries his best to ignore the other four disciples.

"What is it?" Fang ChenLe asks.

"I would like to go down the mountain in two days. May I ask for permission now?"

Thinking it is something serious, Fang ChenLe smiles saying, "So it's this matter. That's quite
simple. If you want to go down the mountain, you just have to ask Little brother Wu. He is in
charge of this area. But since you have just arrived, you can only stay one night. After that, you
must return."

You XiaoMo didn't expect that it would be someone he knew. Praising heaven and earth, he thanks
Elder brother.

"Elder brother, there's one more thing. That is.. May I take this cauldron back with me?" You
XiaoMo looks at the level one cauldron on the stone platform, with a gleam in his eyes. If he had the
money, he would buy one for himself at the foot of the mountain.

Fang ChenLe is stunned but soon nods, "You may."

Level one cauldrons are not a precious things, easily bought from outside. Furthermore, Little
brother is asking to increase his training of his own accord. He feels extremely happy. After all, it's
someone he personally trained.

After getting a positive answer, You XiaoMo is delighted. His success rate in refining magic pills
is just as high as before but the grade is still unchanged. Although the magic herbs provided by the
Hall of Enchanted Herbs is not the best, but if the magic herbs are distilled multiple times, even if the
grade stays the same, the associated risk of the magic pill will be reduced considerably. But You
XiaoMo doesn't want to stand out, so he purposely only distills the magic herbs once. But once in a
while he would make a pill that has been distilled multiple times. The pill still has the same color so
as long as no one looks too closely, he won't be found out. Like this, the time slowly trickles by while
he refines magic pills.

Just when the last disciple leaves the room, You XiaoMo finally finishes the last magic pill.
Wiping off his sweat, he sees that he refined ninety level one magic pills today. More than twice of
yesterday's. Maybe it's because he is now more familiar with the process, so his speed also increases
considerably. You XiaoMo tidies up and brings the magic pills to Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao's full name is Zhao Zhen, in charge of recording the distribution of magic herbs and
collection of magic pills of everyone in Earth peak. Yesterday, You XiaoMo came here to submit his
magic pills. You XiaoMo had left an impression on Zhao Zhen. This probationary disciple had
submitted twenty level one magic pills yesterday. A success rate of a hundred percent, that in his
records, is only achieved by five people in the whole of Earth peak. Of course it is an Earth peak
record for a disciple refining magic pills for the first time.

Accumulate energy pill.You XiaoMo hands over the forty pills that he had set aside. Uncle Zhao
flips through the records. Ninety level one magic pills. Surprisingly a complete success. Again
another record. But he's only a little surprised. After all, a high success rate for level one magic pills
is not a big deal. During the exchange, Uncle Zhao gives him a magic bag to store his magic pills. The
magic bag has a capacity of five square meters. TianXin sect has plenty of these small scale bags.
Each disciple is entitled have one. Fang ChenLe did not give them the bags earlier because he was
busy.

Although the capacity is rather small, but it's better than nothing. However, You XiaoMo is not like
the other disciples whose faces lit up upon receiving the magic bags. That's because he had already
figured out how to deal with this issue. But in front of Uncle Zhao, he leaves an impression of
someone that is not easily fazed.

Following this, You XiaoMo asks Uncle Zhao for a hundred portions of magic herbs. Uncle Zhao is
not surprised, quickly sorting and counting the magic herbs before handing them over to him. This is
because he is not the first one to bring the cauldron back to the room. Hardworking and smart Earth
peak disciples will also do it that way. After that, You XiaoMo smoothly obtains permission from
Elder brother Wu to go down the mountain.

In the dead of the night, when everything is quiet, You XiaoMo takes out the cauldron that he
brought back from the stone room. Then he takes out the one hundred portions of magic herbs from the
magic bag and places them on the table. The reason why he brought back the cauldron is so that he can
refine magic pills at night. But they will be different from the ones he refines during the day. This time
he is going to try to reduce the risk associated with the magic pills.

Because the quality of the magic herbs is a limiting factor, even if his talent is great, he has no way
of improving the grade of the magic pills. So he can only work on the distillation step, to reduce the
risk associated with taking magic pills.

During the day, You XiaoMo observed the other disciples when they were refining magic pills. He
discovered that when they distilled the magic herbs, they could do it only one or two times, not more.
So the risk associated with the resulting magic pills is only reduced by fifteen percent. That leaves the
low grade magic pills with twenty percent risk. So he thought to himself, if he were to further distill
the herbs, would the risk get lower? He doesn't dare to attempt it during the day so he only chooses to
do so at night.

He puts the cauldron on the table and picks up three stalks of magic herbs - rock jasmine, winter
ice herb, and korean mint. These three magic herbs make up the Accumulate energy magic pill. The
Accumulate energy pill is directed at martial artists.

Usually before entering the world of mystics, martial artists are ordinary people. Ordinary people
need to open up their the meridians in their bodies in order to become martial artists. Opening up the
meridians require the assistance of the spiritual energy of the universe. Therefore, if they do not have
help from a master, they can only rely on the Accumulate energy magic pill.

The accumulate energy magic pill is able to briefly concentrate spiritual energy in the body. This
spiritual energy is able to help in opening the meridians. But because the Accumulate energy magic
pill is a level one magic pill, its effect is limited and it also has a high associated risk. Therefore,
most people will choose not take the Accumulate energy magic pill unless it's the last resort.

Of course, You XiaoMo is aware of this. But he also knows that the main reason why people do not
take the Accumulate energy pill, is because the risk is too high. If not careful, it is possible that it will
cause the spiritual energy to run amok in the body. Not everyone will be able to survive the fallout.
But if the risk is reduced, the outcome would be different. The effect of one low grade Accumulate
energy pill is limited, but if multiple pills are taken and if the risk is not high, then the choice would
be easier. When the time comes for him to sell them, he should be able to get a higher price. But this
is just what he thinks, the reality will depend on the effect of the Accumulate energy magic pills he
refines.

Thinking of this, You XiaoMo throws the magic herbs into the cauldron and starts the distillation
process. The distillation process involves the removal of impurities before dropping them into the
cavity of the cauldron. Doing this repeatedly gets harder with each repetition, using up more and more
soul force.

During the day, it took You XiaoMo the time to brew half a small cup of tea to refine one magic
pill. But with the additional two rounds of distillation, each magic pill now takes twice as long.
Although the time needed is increased, the risk actually drops. It's unclear how much risk is reduced.
The light blue color of the magic pill appears a little stronger. The difference is noticeable when
examined closely.

You XiaoMo doesn't know how to judge the risk of magic pills. After trying out one pill, he goes on
to the second one. Like this, he only manages to refine fifty pills through the night, half of which were
only distilled once.

During the day, he goes to the stone room as usual. Refining one hundred magic pills, just like the
day before. At night he returns to the room and continues refining pills without sleep or rest, finally
making it through the first batch of magic pills.

The next day, he gathers all his belongings and prepares to go down the mountain.

Notes:

rock jasmine - Androsace Umbellata

winter ice herb - Rabdosia Rubescens

korean mint - Agastache Rugosa

Chapter 21

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Life story and the winged bird.It's not just him alone going down the mountain this time. It's unclear
how many TianXin sect disciples go down the mountain each month. You XiaoMo doesn't know how
many disciples there will be from the other peaks, but there are four others from Earth peak going
down with him. Among the five, other than the two who are fulfilling the orders from the masters to
buy supplies, the other two are going home to visit their families, after being away for a year.

As for "You XiaoMo"'s family, he had asked the other disciples that entered together with him. He
found out that he was raised in a single-parent home. His mother who raised him passed away from
overwork when he was seven years old. After that, he was entrusted to his mother's sister's family.
His aunt's family lives in Peach blossom village. It's a small place but very famous for its peach
blossoms. When he reached 17 years old, his aunt's family was looking for a reason to drive him out
of the house. It just so happened that the elders from TianXin sect came looking for disciples. A
simple life story. You XiaoMo could almost guess how his aunt's whole family must not like 'him'.

But he heaves a sigh of relief knowing that 'You XiaoMo' doesn't have a close relationship with his
aunt's family. A bad relationship means his aunt's family would not welcome his return. Not needing
to return means he wouldn't have to face the danger of being discovered that the soul is no longer the
same. Furthermore, he doesn't know how he would handle his aunt's family. But most importantly, he
doesn't know where Peach blossom village is. He also doesn't know what anyone in his aunt's family
looks like. If he were to return and run into his aunt's family without recognizing them, that would be
extremely dangerous!

Because there only five disciples from Earth peak going down the mountain, Master Kong is
worried that they would run into danger. So he asked Heaven peak's Uncle Mo Gu to help look after
them. Uncle Mo Gu is leading some disciples to purchase necessities. He is the most senior disciple
on this trip so it's only natural to entrust the disciples to him. They are after all TianXin sect disciples.

Other than disciples from the Mage division, You XiaoMo also heard that disciples from the
Warrior division will also be accompanying them this time. Although disciples from the Mage
division are skilled in refining magic pills, their military ability is generally not strong. That's why
disciples from the Military division would accompany the group every time a high level mage goes
down the mountain. Especially since the high level mage going down this time is Uncle Mo Gu.

You XiaoMo follows the other disciples and waits at the foot of the Earth peak mountain for an
hour before Uncle Mo Gu and the others show up. They could hear their rowdy voices from afar but
none of them dared to make any complaints. Compared to the five moody disciples, that group of
people could be described as raucous. Each and every one chatting and laughing, as if they are going
on a pleasure trip. But the one attracting the most attention is not Uncle Mo Gu. It's a girl surrounded
and fawned on by a few young male disciples. One look at her and You XiaoMo can't help but sigh at
the hand of fate.
That girl is the Junior sister he saw twice in the library. At that time he had guessed that she is a
Heaven peak disciple. Looks like that's true. However, that Elder brother is nowhere in sight. After
meeting up, Uncle Mo Gu doesn't say anything, not mentioning the issue of being late. Just like this,
they grandly head down the mountain.

TianXin sect is located in the middle of lush green mountain peaks. It is said that this place was
opened up by the founder of TianXin sect to serve as a sanctuary. Later when TianXin sect became the
largest sect in Long Xiao continent, the sanctuary also expanded a great deal. With the lush green
mountain peaks as the center, TianXian sect's domain covers everything within a hundred mile radius.

Today their destination is the town on the outskirts of this hundred mile radius. It's also the closest
town to TianXin sect, where TianXin sect gets their supplies from each month. Because the distance
is quite far, after they descend the mountain, they get on winged birds to reach their destination.

TianXin sect has about a hundred winged birds. They are specially raised for transportation. They
are about five to ten meters tall. They are mainly used by the Mage division because unlike the Mage
division, martial artists from the Warrior division are able to fly on their own once their have reached
a certain level. Some winged birds can hold five people so You XiaoMo and his brothers go ahead
and take one of those. Their quiet moody atmosphere contrasts sharply with the others ahead of them.

The winged birds are very fast. The hundred mile distance is covered in the time it takes to brew
half a cup of tea. The three winged birds lands in a clearing. You XiaoMo looks around. It's like a
public square surrounded by a few short buildings. There are also a few thatched pens holding more
winged birds. Needless to say, this place must have been set up as a TianXin sect outpost.

You XiaoMo jumps down from the back of the winged bird and just as he is about to follow the
group, a familiar face walks up to them. Someone that makes him feel guilty when he sees him. He is
none other than the one whose private conversation he overheard two days ago. The Elder brother
'Big brother Xiao'. He later finds out that it's not the xiao character from yunxiao. Rather it's the xiao
character from xiaoxiang. His full name is Lin Xiao, the most talented disciple of the Warrior
division. He is also the Elder disciple of the Grand Master.

Chapter 22

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Magic pill shop.No wonder he didn't see the disciples from the Warrior division at the foot of the
mountain. Looks like they had already reached the town before them. But You XiaoMo didn't expect
that the Military division would send Lin Xiao. Thinking over what he overheard the other day, he
feels all the more that something unexpected will happen on this trip.

You XiaoMo had planned that he would part from the rest after they leave this area. Furthermore,
the things that he plans to do should not be revealed to others.

Tang YunQi is the daughter of the Grand Master. The most favored Junior sister of TianXin sect.
The whole way here, the thing that You XiaoMo heard the most was the *ge ge* sound of her coy
giggling. Especially when the others were lavishing praise on her, as if it made her feel especially
pleased. How long the winged birds flew, was how long she giggled.

When Lin Xiao appears, Tang YunQi is the first one to rush over. After an extremely nauseating
"Big brother Xiao", she throws herself at Lin Xiao. But she was destined to miss as Lin Xiao
dodges out of the way. Tang YunQi does not feel embarrassed nor humiliated, as if this a common
occurrence. She wraps her hands around Lin Xiao's arm and look up at him adoringly. The other
disciples are full of envy, including the four disciples with You XiaoMo.

Lin Xiao's relationship with them is quite good. Especially with Mo Gu. Before, from the time they
met up until now, You XiaoMo didn't see Mo Gu smile even once. His expression was always very
serious, as if someone owes him money. Now, after Lin Xiao appears, a smile is hanging on his face
while he nods from time to time watching Lin Xiao and Tang YunQi. Upon meeting, they exchange a
few pleasantries before setting out.

Leaving the square, Mo Go turns around and says, "We have reached He Ping town. Buy what
you have to buy. We will meet up here tomorrow at this time. We will not wait for those who
come late."

Saying this he leads his disciples toward the bustling market along with all the disciples from the
Warrior division, leaving not a single one.

The one leading the Earth peak disciples, Big brother Liu sighs softly, as if this is something he
expected. Soon after, he says to You XiaoMo and the others, "From here, I will go with Junior
brother Li to make the purchases Master has requested. You all should finish what you all want
to do within a day. You all heard what Uncle Mo said. He will not wait for you if you are late
tomorrow."

"We understand, Big brother Liu."

Big brother Liu nods before heading off with Junior brother Li in the same direction as Uncle Mo
Gu. After they leave, the other disciples head off in their respective directions, going home to visit
relatives. Only then does it dawn on You XiaoMo that this is his first time in He Ping town .......

You XiaoMo, his first time in He Ping town has no choice but to head in the same direction as Big
brother Liu, towards the most lively area of town. From there, he slowly searches, asking around
when lost, finally finding what he is looking for.

.......

He Ping town is most famous for magic pills. Because of its proximity to TianXin sect, they
frequently have dealings with the disciples from TianXin sect. They also do business with other
smaller sects. Over time, He Ping town slowly becomes more developed, bringing along the
surrounding smaller villages.

The magic pill shops are all located on the busiest street in He Ping town, called North street. The
south facing side of North street is a row of Magic pill shops. It's the most crowded place, practically
customers in every shop, with some to the point of overcrowding.

You XiaoMo stands at the side of the street and observes with his eyes wide open for a quite a
while. He finally settles on a shop that is not too popular but not too deserted, and walks inside.

When he walks in, a young man dressed as an ancient shop attendant immediately comes up to him,
speaking in a polite tone, "Distinguished guest, are you here to buy magic pills?"

You XiaoMo glances over the shop, before returning to the brilliant smile of the young man, saying
in a small voice, "Do you accept magic pills here?"

The young man freezes before coming to his senses, smiling without changing the look in his eyes
saying, "We do. Our shop also accepts magic pills. Distinguished guest please come this way."

Buying and selling are not done in the same place. In order to protect the privacy of the customers,
most shops set up inner rooms. Furthermore, the magic pill shops of North street have good
reputations so one usually does not have to be worried about getting cheated or robbed. You XiaoMo
thinks that since they dare to set up shop close to TianXin sect, they wouldn't dare to cheat people. So
he follows him inside without apprehension.

The one attending to him switches to the shop manager. A sixty something year old man with grey
hair on both his temples. His energy though is pretty good for a sixty year old, with a smiling face that
makes him seem even more amiable.The manager sees You XiaoMo and surreptitiously gives him the
once over. Rather than make small talk, he goes straight to the point.

"Distinguished guest, what level magic pill are you selling?"

"It's ....... level one magic pills." You XiaoMo answers, a little embarrassed.

When he just stepped inside, he took stock of the situation in the shop. Most of the magic pills are
level two and level three. There are level one magic pills but definitely not many. This makes him
feel a little inadequate, since the magic pills in his hand are all level one.

The manager is stunned for a moment before saying politely, "Distinguished guest, would you
like to take out your magic pills and let this old man have a look?"

You XiaoMo silently takes out a few bottles of magic pills. A total of four, containing four different
types of magic pills. Actually, there are only two types. It's only that the number of distillation rounds
is different, so the quality is different, that's why he put them in different bottles.

The manager picks up one of the bottles and pours out a pill and examines it closely. It's a common
Dispelling magic pill. He picks up another bottle and sees its also a very common pill, an Accumulate
energy pill. He can't help but frown. He had thought that this young man is from a major sect, so the
level one magic pills he brings should be something out of the ordinary. Such as top grade magic
pills. But after looking at two bottles and finding that they are regular run of the mill low grade magic
pills, he can only feel disappointed.

But for someone who has been in this line of business for many years, living all these years, he has
seen many unexpected things. He quickly recovers and patiently picks up the third bottle. One look at
the magic pill he pours out leaves him stunned speechless.

Chapter 23

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

First bundle of riches.The manager looks at the magic pill in the palm of his hand in amazement.
This is clearly an Accumulate energy pill. But it's not quite the same. Looking at it carefully, you can
tell the difference from the color. The light blue color of this magic pill is a little deeper when
compared to the previous bottle. He has seen this phenomenon before but those were all mid-grade
magic pills. The color of mid-grade magic pills are naturally deeper than low grade magic pills. But
this Accumulate energy magic pill in his hand is not a mid-grade magic pill because its color is
lighter than a mid-grade magic pill. The manager quickly picks up the fourth bottle. Inside are
Dispelling magic pills. They are like the Accumulate energy magic pills in the third bottle. He, who
has seen much and experienced much, is still confused. Why is it that even though they are all low
grade magic pills, but yet their depth of color is different?

"Distinguished guest, this one?" The manager finally asks, unable to hold back any longer.

You XiaoMo had long before heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the astonished expression on the
manager's face. He presumes that it means his magic pills are still in play. He should be able to sell
them at a slightly better price.

"These two bottles are not the same as the other two. Although they are low grade magic
pills, their associated risk is not high. Only about ten percent."

Hearing this, the manager is stunned. He looks at You XiaoMo as if he is looking at strange object.
There is also a hint of conflicting emotions. He really did not expect that this young man would bring
him something so shocking. He is someone that sells magic pills, so of course he knows a thing or two
about magic pills. From his past experience, even if distillation rounds were increased, the risk
associated with low grade magic pills have never fallen below fifteen percent. He doesn't know if
other mages have achieved this before but this is the first time he has come across this. If this were to
get out to others, it would most probably lead to an huge commotion. Low grade magic pills with a
ten percent risk. Lower by five percent but enough to cause the people of Long Xiao continent to rush
forward like ducks. If he was able to monopolize the source of these magic pills .......

The manager looks at You XiaoMo with a complicated expression. This young man is really one of
a kind. After muttering to himself, he asks, "Distinguished guest, did you refine all these magic
pills by yourself?"

"I refined them by myself, but I was taught by my master."

You XiaoMo looks at the manager with shining eyes. May God forgive me for telling lies. From the
shocked look in the manager's eyes, he knows that the pills he refined must be quite different from the
usual ones. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, he doesn't dare to say that he figured this out
by fumbling around by himself. So he can only implicate that master of his with whom he has yet to
have a formal meeting, Kong Wen.
"And your honorable master is?" The manager is not surprised. In fact, he feels that this answer
is the most probable.

"This, I'd rather not say."

You XiaoMo doesn't want to flash the TianXin sect trump card lightly. Even though he knows that it
would make the manager look at him in a new light, it could also bring about problems. If this were to
get back to TianXin sect, he wouldn't be able to finish what he had dished out.

The manager signals that he understands. If he knew this technique, he would also keep it under
wraps. But since this young man is able to bring these magic pills out to sell, it must mean that he has
permission from his master. This way, it is also easier to handle.

The manager puts the magic pills back into the bottles and says seriously, "Distinguished guest,
since you want to sell these magic pills, I will give you a suitable price and we will see how you
feel about it. The two ordinary bottles for twenty gold pieces per bottle. For the other two bottles
of magic pills, I will give you ten gold pieces per pill. Is this acceptable for you?"

At once, You XiaoMo's deep black eyes start to shine. Ten gold pieces for one pill versus twenty
gold pieces for one bottle, this difference seems really too much. But the price of twenty gold pieces
per bottle seems higher than what he figured out from the other shops. The four bottles hold twenty
magic pills each. But this is only half of what he has. He had kept the other half to try out other shops
but now that the manager has given him such a high price, he can't help but feel a little touched. But ---
-

"Manager, the price you quoted, seems higher than that from other shops, yes?" You XiaoMo
asks tentatively.

He doesn't think he has a face that would arouse sympathy from the manager, so there must be
another reason for the high price.

The manager smiles, "Distinguished guest is a really smart person. Indeed the price I quoted is
higher than the other shops. I only hope that distinguished guest would continue to sell these
magic pills to us the next time if you have any. Even if not all, but if you would at least reserve
half for us."

You XiaoMo considers for a moment. This actually works. He already didn't plan on publicizing
this. Furthermore, the price given by the manager is high. He wants to buy many magic herb seeds. He
had worried that the money he would get from selling these magic pills wouldn't be enough, so this
move by the manager is really like a delivery of charcoal in snowy weather.

"Manager, I can sell these magic pills to you but I have a condition."

"What condition?" asks the manager.


You XiaoMo speaks cautiously, "I hope that you will not tell anyone that these magic pills were
refined by me. In short, don't tell anyone anything about me. If you agree, aside from the magic
pills for my personal use, I will sell the rest to you."

"Deal!" the manager agrees without even having to think twice.

He was not planning on revealing anything anyway. Such a valuable source, of course he would
want to keep it firmly under his control. Furthermore this condition is very reasonable.

After agreeing on the terms, the manager counts the money and hands them over. Two bottles of
ordinary magic pills is forty gold pieces. Two bottles of special magic pills is four hundred gold
pieces. Altogether four hundred and forty gold pieces. This is You XiaoMo's first bundle of riches in
this world. From what he knows, an ordinary household would be able to live for half a month on one
piece of gold.

Chapter 24

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Wooden furnishings shop.After leaving the magic pill shop, You XiaoMo brings his four hundred
and forty gold pieces to a shop selling wooden furnishings on a different street. When he first heard
the price the manager quoted, he was very excited. He considered selling the remaining magic pills in
his magic bag to him but was a little apprehensive about selling too many at one time. So after some
consideration, he decided to save them for his next trip down the mountain. But this will also depend
on how much the magic herb seeds costs. If four hundred and forty gold pieces is not sufficient, he
will go back and sell them all.

The wooden furnishings shop, like its name suggests, sells articles made from poplar, mahogany,
birch and other types of wood. There is only one wooden furnishings shop in the whole of He Ping
town. The shop is very big, taking up three shopfronts. Above hangs a very big sign. Very
conspicuous. You XiaoMo notices it immediately when he gets there.

Numerous brand new cupboards are displayed, in all sizes. There are also many dividers inside
the cupboards. They are made from poplar-like wood, appearing to have a shiny finish. There are a
few attendants in the store but they are all serving customers. But with his sharp eyes, You XiaoMo
sees a rather lonely figure standing in a corner.

"Dong Jiu, a customer is here. Why are you not quickly attending to him?"

Before he could open his mouth, the attendant nearest to him calls out to that person with a
disparaging tone. One can faintly detect some disdain and contempt. The person in the corner jumps in
shock as if he didn't expect that he would be called. When he looks up, You XiaoMo sees a very
young face. At first glance he looks to be not older than fifteen years old. More like a twelve or
thirteen year old boy. Very thin as if suffering from malnutrition. When he smiles shyly, two small
dimples are faintly discernible. Dong Jiu walks up to You XiaoMo.

Rubbing his hands, he asks You XiaoMo hesitantly, "Dis... distinguished guest. Good morning.
Are you here to buy wooden furnishings?"

Unexpectedly, the attendant other snorts *chi*, mocking him softly, "Visiting a wooden furnishing
shop, of course it is to buy wooden furnishings. Are you telling me he's here to buy magic
pills?"

Dong Jiu flushes in embarrassment. You XiaoMo figures it's better to let it be and points at the
cupboards by the wall on the right.

"How much are those?"

Dong Jiu freezes for a moment. This is probably the first time someone goes straight for the price
without first asking about the quality.
He stammers, " Tho... those are made from top grade wood with exquisite workmanship. So
they are a little more expensive than the ones outside. The small one is one gold and fifty silver
pieces. The big one is three gold pieces. They can also be custom made."

"Then, I would like the big one. Oh, how many ready-made pieces do you have?"

You XiaoMo calculates the costs, one for three gold pieces is not costly. He can afford to buy a
few to store magic herbs and magic pills. This trip down the mountain, he also plans to buy various
necessities. He does not plan to put them in his room, but in his dimension. He had already decided
that when the magic herbs he plants are matured, he won't store them in the magic bag. Although
magic bags are convenient, they are not secure. If he were to lose them or if someone discovers them,
he can't bear to imagine the consequences.

"Oh right, do you have complete sets or wooden furnishings?" You XiaoMo turns around to ask
as the thought crosses his mind.

Dong Jiu has never met someone so straightforward in his life. Even is there was, they would have
been snatched away by other attendants. Furthermore his reaction and eloquence is not as good as
others so he has always been at the bottom in terms of monthly sales. This encounter makes him feel
as he is dreaming.

"Distinguished guest, would it better if you list out the things you want to buy? Then I can
check for you and tell you which ones we don't have. How about it?" Dong Jiu asks cautiously.

"Then I'll leave it to you." You XiaoMo smiles while nodding.

He then lists out all the wooden furnishings he wants to add. He discovers that this fellow called
Dong Jiu actually has a pretty good memory. After only hearing it once, he could repeat everything
back to him without a single mistake. Luckily everything he wants to buy is in stock. You XiaoMo
buys so many things, totaling above twenty gold pieces.

Since it is a considerable sum for the wooden furnishings shop, it attracts the attention of the shop
manager. Seeing that Dong Jiu had hooked such a big customer, he smiles from ear to ear. He then
joins forces with Dong Jiu to bring out all the things You XiaoMo wanted. Because You XiaoMo has
a magic bag, once the things were sorted out, they just put them directly into the bag. Much less
trouble than moving them out. Then the manager adds up the prices, a total of twenty six gold pieces.
You XiaoMo has the funds, and the things he is buying are all necessary items, so he doesn't feel pain
spending the money. After all, he now has a source of income.

Leaving the wooden furnishings shop, You XiaoMo doesn't know the kind of fortune his appearance
had brought to Dong Jiu. The attendant that happily gave up this money making opportunity to Dong
Jiu is so vexed that he almost chews his teeth to bits. He had seen that You XiaoMo was dressed
plainly so he had assumed that he wouldn't bring much business. It just so happened that Dong Jiu was
unoccupied, so he let him have the customer just to watch him make a fool of himself. He never
expected that it would turn out to be a big fish. Unfortunately he also no chance of getting back at
Dong Jiu since the manager now regards Dong Jiu in a new light.
At the same time, Lin Xiao is going through a crisis of life and death.

Chapter 25

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Ridiculous fate.South street, which is next to North street, is a famous street for magic herbs. It is
just like North street, the only difference being that South street specializes in selling magic herbs. All
types of magic herbs, as long as they are level six and below are available here. Most importantly,
there are shops selling magic herb seeds on South street. The availability of magic herb seeds is
similar to that for magic herbs, level six and below. But the amount of magic herb seeds is less than
magic herbs, especially for high level ones. That's because the higher the level, the harder it is to
grow from seeds. Furthermore the time it takes to mature is also much longer. Therefore, very few
mages will buy magic herb seeds to grow. Most of them would buy seeds that are level three and
below. Even so, the number of people who buy seeds are still very few.

You XiaoMo wants to buy quite a lot of magic herb seeds. The shop with the most complete
selection should probably the bigger magic herb shops. But he doesn't immediately go in. He asks
around everywhere to roughly determine the prices for magic herb seeds before settling on the biggest
magic herb shop ------- Orchid pavilion.

The Orchid pavilion shopfront is bigger than the wooden furnishings shop. Magic herbs and magic
herb seeds are displayed separately. The are fewer customers buying magic herb seeds. Since seeds
don't take up much space, the magic herb seeds only take up one shopfront. A few scattered customers
are inside making their choices.

When You XiaoMo walks in, an attendant immediately greets him. After explaining what he is here
for, the attendant leads him right away to where the level one to level three magic herb seeds are.

"Distinguished guest, you have come to right place. Our Orchid pavilion has the most
complete selection of magic herb seeds in He Ping town. May I ask how much you would like to
buy?" the attendant turns around and asks politely.

You XiaoMo glances over the seeds on the shelves, saying "I would like to buy all the level two
seeds. How many types of level two seeds do you have? How much are they?"

The attendant says, "Level two magic herb seeds, we have eighty types. Each type sold in small
packets. We have one hundred seeds, two hundred seeds, five hundred seeds, one thousand seeds.
Four choices. Every five hundred seeds costs one gold piece."

You XiaoMo calculates carefully for a moment. If he were to buy the five hundred seeds packet,
eighty types will be eighty gold pieces. That would leave him with three hundred and thirty four gold
pieces. He can probably buy some level three seeds.

"Then, what about level three seeds?" You XiaoMo asks further.

The attendant does not show any signs of impatience, and continues to explain clearly: "We have
sixty four types of level three seeds. Each type is sold in the same quantities as level two seeds.
Every five hundred seeds cost four gold pieces."

You XiaoMo can't help from feeling a twitch in his eyelid. This is too costly. Three gold pieces
more than level two seeds and it's only one level higher. It is unexpectedly so expensive. If he were to
buy them all, he would have to spend two hundred and fifty six gold pieces in one go.

Seeing the change in his expression, the attendant could roughly guess what was going on in his
head. He says temptingly: "Distinguished guest, if you want to buy level two and level three seeds,
we can give you one set of level one seeds for free."

You XiaoMo can't help feeling stunned. He suddenly feels as if he has gone back to the modern age.
The familiar promotional tactics, although it is not buy one get one free. Although the value of a set of
level one seeds is only ten gold pieces.

In the end, You XiaoMo swallows the pain and buys them, spending three hundred and thirty six
gold pieces. Orchid pavilion throws in a free set of level one seeds. A hundred seeds per packet.
Although not a lot, it's better than nothing. Besides, he also wants to try planting level one magic
herbs in his dimension. Although he can reduce the risk of low grade magic pills to ten percent, they
are after all still low grade magic pills. The effect is not as good as mid or top grade magic pills.

Leaving Orchid pavilion, You XiaoMo looks up at the sky. In a blink of an eye, he feels that time is
really flying by. Before he knows it, the sun is about to set. Since they will only meet up tomorrow
morning, he can only fend for himself tonight. Luckily he still has over seventy pieces of gold in his
magic bag so he wouldn't have to sleep on the streets tonight. Just now, while he buying the magic
herbs, he also asked about the location of the rest houses.

The rest houses are located on West street. Usually, those who come to He Ping town to purchase
necessities, such as the disciples from TianXin sect, would descend on West street if they have to
spend the night. But which rest house would depend on one's individual preference. It could just be
bad luck but after going through a few mid level rest houses, he is told by the managers that there are
no vacant rooms. At first, he was very surprised. Usually, mid-level rest houses should have
available rooms. Later he learns that this is the first of the month, the time when the magic pill and
magic herb shops on North street and South street replenish their stocks. So this time period is always
the busiest time for He Ping town.

Left with no choice, You XiaoMo heads for the biggest rest house. This rest house was especially
recommended by the attendant at the Orchid pavilion. It is operated by the same owner as the Orchid
pavilion. But because it is a little expensive, it is not You XiaoMo's first choice.

It is now dinner time. The seating area is seventy to eighty percent occupied. The waiters are
eagerly attending to the customers. Steaming hot dishes fill the whole rest house with fragrant aromas.
The manager is standing behind the counter flicking the abacus with a serious and calculating
expression.

Seeing him enter, the wrinkled old face of the manager lights up with a smile, "Distinguished
guest, would you like a room or are you here for dinner?"

"I would like to spend the night." You XiaoMo replies.

The manager checks his books and says, "Distinguished guest, we only have two rooms left. A
main room is five gold pieces, would that do?"

Stunned, You XiaoMo blurts out, "Can't you charge me a little less?"

Hearing these words, laughter breaks out behind him. Those sitting close by must have overheard
what he said. Most probably it's their first time hearing someone bargaining with a rest house
manager, so they find it very funny.

The manager answers awkwardly: "Distinguished guest, this is the price for our rooms, we
can't charge any cheaper."

You XiaoMo is also a little embarrassed. He had only said that unconsciously. But the reason why
he didn't bargain when buying the magic herb seeds is because the attendant had thrown in a free set
of level one seeds. Shouldn't he able to get a free meal from the manager here? You XiaoMo toughens
his scalp and hands over the five gold pieces.

An attendant shows him to his room. Before he leaves, You XiaoMo requests to have dinner
brought to his room. The attendant did not leave him waiting. Before the time it takes to brew a cup of
tea, he brings over the dishes. They smell, look, and taste great. In fact, it's much better than what he
has been eating in Earth peak. He later finds out the the cost of the meal is included in the five pieces
of gold. Because the price is high, the service is also much better than that given downstairs. The
attendants also seem to be at his beck and call, comparable to the service found in modern five star
hotels. So, the five star service that he didn't have the chance to enjoy in the modern era, he now
enjoys in Long Xiao continent.

After eating and drinking his fill, You XiaoMo starts to sort through today's purchases. He transfers
the wooden furnishings and seeds into the tear drop, then locks the room door before entering the
dimension.

Under the blue skies, he had cleared a piece of land that is about thirty square meters. Furthermore,
he had already made the necessary preparations, reconditioning the soil. He only needs to scatter the
seeds before sprinkling some water. That should do it.

But he doesn't immediately start scattering the seeds. Instead, he places the wooden furnishings in a
suitable spot before putting the seeds in the various compartments. In order to make it easier, he
meticulously pastes a label on each compartment showing the type of seeds in each compartment.

Once he is done with everything, it was already the hai period, a little past nine. Leaving the
dimension, You XiaoMo rubs his tummy. The dinner from before has already been used up, so he
simply gets up and leaves the room, planning to look for food.
Just when he takes a few steps out of his room, the door of the neighboring room opens suddenly.
Someone dressed in a white robe steps out. The robe looks simple but if you look carefully it is clear
that the robe is actually exquisite and luxurious. Simply on a whole different level when compared to
the extremely plain green robe on his own body. When he looks up and sees the other person's face,
You XiaoMo immediately 囧.

Why the hell? Why the hell must I run into Lin Xiao here? What makes him most vexed is that Lin
Xiao is walking towards him. You XiaoMo can't help feeling conflicted. Should he greet him?
Although they have not formally met, they have already come across each other multiple times, so it is
possible that Lin Xiao recognizes him.

Seeing that he is almost in front of him, You XiaoMo's body reflexively reacts faster than his
chaotic mind. As if he is running into a headmaster, he straightens his chest and calls out, "Greetings
to Elder brother!", just lacking the word headmaster which he luckily does not blurt out.

Saying this, he immediately 囧, because the other party looks at him in surprise, with no sign of
recognition. You XiaoMo suddenly has to impulse to give himself a tight slap. That's what you get for
shooting your mouth off. After this incident, Lin Xiao is sure to remember him.

After recovering from his surprise, 'Lin Xiao' can only put on a gentle and refined smile, saying
while looking at him, "So you're my Junior brother. Why are you not together with Uncle Mo
Gu?"

Hearing these words, the look of horror on You XiaoMo's face can be compared to that of someone
seeing a ghost. This person is not actually Lin Xiao, right?

Notes:

Egg pain = pain in the balls ~ ridiculous

hai period = 21:00-23:00

囧 - emoticon for OMG

Chapter 26

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Unfair conditions.You XiaoMo has only met Lin Xiao a few times. But he has never seen him
smile. Even when he was with the Junior sister or with Uncle Mo Gu, he never smiled. Not to
mention speaking in such a gentle way to him. This is the first giveaway.

The second giveaway is his words. If he is the real Lin Xiao, he would know that he would not be
together with Uncle Mo Gu. They had already parted ways this morning when they arrived in He Ping
town. If they are together, it would only happen tomorrow morning. This only means the 'Lin Xiao' in
front of him is not the one he has seen before.

But he clearly admitted that he is Lin Xiao. Furthermore, his face is exactly like that of Lin Xiao. If
there is any difference, it would be his clothes. The Lin Xiao in the morning wore a black robe. This
Lin Xiao is wearing a white robe. Not only have the clothes changed, the demeanor and aura also
feels like it is a completely different person.

You XiaoMo doesn't even care if the Lin Xiao in front of him is an impostor. He only knows that
the white-robed Lin Xiao gives off a more dangerous vibe than the black-robed Lin Xiao.

He stammers: "Elder... Elder brother Lin, I still have things to do so I'll be off. See you later!"

Saying this, he turns around to go, pretending that he doesn't see that 'Lin Xiao' has something he
wants to say. As a result, before he could even take two steps, You XiaoMo feels his neck tightening,
leaving him unable to breathe. Soon after he is lifted off his feet, soaring into the air and twirling
around before coming face to face with 'Lin Xiao', their noses less than five centimeters apart.

"El... El... Elder brother Lin?" A completely terrified You XiaoMo looks at the handsome face
right in front of him.

Ling Xiao doesn't speak but smiles slightly and heads back into room closing the door with a
*peng*. In his hands still hangs You XiaoMo. Only when it is just the two of them, does he set You
XiaoMo down.

Gaining his freedom, You XiaoMo immediately scoots away from Ling Xiao. This action only
makes everything clear. Ling Xiao confirms his intention, dialing up the intensity. His smiling face
dripping with sweetness, becomes even more elitist and overbearing, like a bloodthirsty gentleman.
That's exactly right! A bloodthirsty gentleman!

You XiaoMo realizes for the first time that someone can actually be described as a bloodthirsty
gentleman. Quite simply a marvelous combination. If he was just a bystander, he would probably find
it wondrous. But now that he is one right in the center of it, he doesn't feel one bit of excitement. He
would rather not have this opportunity.
"Great warrior, I don't know anything. I didn't see anything. For real!" You XiaoMo has his
hands over his head, trembling while speaking those words. He then stares both expectantly and with
terror at that man, as if he is waiting for him to let him off in a big show of mercy.

With his lips curved, Ling Xiao pressures him into a corner, his eyes filled with interest and fixed
on You XiaoMo, "Oh, what is it that you know? And what is it that you saw?"

You XiaoMo freezes. He again feels a huge urge to give himself a tight slap. Don't tell me that this
man did not realize that he has already seen through his pretending to be Lin Xiao. And here, he
actually dug a hole for himself. No matter what the reality is, he feels that today is an extremely
unlucky day.

"I ... I ... I know you are not Elder brother Lin Xiao." You XiaoMo's face is completely red
from the pressure.

Ling Xiao looks at his helpless expression. Appearing just like a lost and adorably pitiful small
white rabbit. He can't help but feel a little delight. No sign of being shamed to anger.

After a while, You XiaoMo hears a voice coming from the top of his head.

"Since you have seen through my disguise, I have no choice. Let's see, how should I dispose
of you? Should I kill you, or boil you, or fry you?"

You XiaoMo immediately -_-||. Is there any difference between these three choices?

"Whichever one is also not acceptable. I don't want to die." You XiaoMo says in a small voice
with a sad face. It hasn't even been ten days since he came to this world. If he were to die yet again,
who knows if he will end up in hell or just vanish in puff of smoke. Too terrifying!

"Then what should I do? After all, you know my secret." Ling Xiao pretends to be in a difficult
position while saying this.

You XiaoMo's eyelid twitches and he immediately raises his hand swearing: "I promise you, I
won't tell anyone about you pretending to be Elder brother Lin. If I do, may heaven strike me
dead and shatter my soul, uh, forever doomed to remain a low level mage. Is this good enough?"
He cautiously asks the last question.

"You are a mage?" Ling Xiao raises his eyebrow. His handsome face suddenly shows a hint of
defiance. Just like his elitist and overbearing expression before, not even a tiny hint of unease.

You XiaoMo nods and then looks at him expectantly.

"If that's the case, then go ahead and refine a magic pill for me." Ling Xiao says indifferently.

"That, I didn't bring my cauldron......" You XiaoMo can't figure out what he is planning, but
seeing him raise his eyebrows, he immediately adds, "But I have ready made ones. I have some in
my magic bag, the magic pills I refined yesterday."

"You mean this magic bag?" Ling Xiao raises his hand. Amazingly, in his hand is a bag that
doesn't seem to suit him. It's none other than You XiaoMo's magic bag.

You XiaoMo reflexively feels the area around his waist. His magic bag is not there. He can't help
but be stunned. When did he take it? He didn't even feel anything.

Ling Xiao takes out everything from the magic bag. There are only four small bottles, emanating a
light medicinal scent. You XiaoMo sees him open one of the bottles and pour out a light blue
Accumulate energy magic pill, one of the low risk ones. Under You XiaoMo's astonished gaze, he
tosses the Accumulate energy magic pill into his mouth. After chewing twice, Ling Xiao raises his
brows slightly. He then proceeds to pour out the remaining Accumulate energy magic pills and
swallow them into his belly. The same goes for the other three bottles. Everything into his belly. As if
he is eating sugar roasted chestnuts.

You XiaoMo looks at him slack-jawed with bulging eyes. Didn't he hear that magic pills can't be
taken willy nilly .......

After eating all the magic pills, Ling Xiao licks his lips. He looks at You XiaoMo with an added
shred of satisfaction, "I really didn't expect that the magic pills you refine are quite delicious.
Especially two of the bottles. The taste is not bad. So ______ congratulations, I have decided not
to kill you for the time being."

You XiaoMo hears this with an alarmed heart and jumpy body, "Time... time being? Uh, no, I
mean, really?"

"I can not kill you, but ______ " Ling Xiao throws the empty bottles and magic bag back at him,
revealing a smile, "Everyday from now on, you must honor me with two hundred magic pills,
specifically the magic pills in the blue bottles."

The blue bottles are the ones that contain the magic pills with ten percent risk.

"Two... two hundred magic pills?" You XiaoMo stammers. He is dumbstruck by the amount.

With his current ability, he has no way of refining two hundred magic pills in a day. Even if he
were to put off eating and drinking, especially since the magic pills he wants are the low risk ones.

"What's the matter? You want to refuse?"

Ling Xiao's brow twitches. In a flash, the space between You XiaoMo's eyes feels a flash of
piercingly cold pressure, almost making him unable to breathe.

You XiaoMo quickly shakes his head. After the hard struggle to spare his life, of course he is not
going to refuse, "No, no, great warrior. Elder brother Lin, I just learned how to refine magic
pills a few days ago. One hundred pills a day is my limit. Fur... furthermore, according to the
rules of TianXin sect, I have turn over half of the magic pills ......."

Ling Xiao stares at him. According to Lin Xiao's memory, TianXin sect does indeed have this rule.
So he knows that You XiaoMo is not trying to pull a fast one, "Fifty pills, of course, if you are not
willing, I don't mind turning you into a corpse right this moment."

But I mind! Of course You XiaoMo doesn't dare to revolt. No matter how unfair the conditions,
they still can't compare to his measly life. So he can only agree. Just when he heaves a sigh of relief,
Ling Xiao's indifferent voice rings out again above his head.

"But, to ensure that you will not betray me, hand over half of your soul ne!"

Chapter 27

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

The truth beneath the gentleness.Tonight is the night that You XiaoMo has the most restless sleep
ever since he came to this world.

The next day, he is forced by Ling Xiao's despotic attitude to follow him to the assembly point.
Because he is terrified by those last words he said yesterday, he doesn't dare to resist. Only when he
appears in front of everyone with Ling Xiao does he realize what he's in for.

He who had always been insignificant and transparent is now the center of everyone's attention.
The first to react is the Junior sister Tang YunQi, rushing up to Ling Xiao. After giving You XiaoMo a
look of disdain, she says to Ling Xiao, "Elder brother, did you finish what you had to do?"

Ling Xiao nods indifferently. This time he is not acting. This Junior sister just doesn't give him a
good feeling. But Lin Xiao has always treated the Junior sister in this way, so no one feels that
something is amiss.

On the other hand, You XiaoMo wipes the sweat off his brow. But before he could slip away, Tang
YunQi aims a spearhead at him.

"Elder brother, why are you with this person?"

Tang YunQi wraps herself around Ling Xiao's arm, her elegant eyebrows raised, looking at You
XiaoMo with disdain upon disdain.

Ling Xiao calmly extricates his arm, curving up the corners of his mouth in a slight smile, "Is it a
problem that I came here with him?"

A smile that makes people think of the spring breeze blooms on the handsome face that does not
belong to him. But it gives off a feeling of perfection, as if this person should always be smiling. But,
only You XiaoMo knows that this is all an act. He personally experienced yesterday how this man can
switch faces, flipping back and forth, just like someone with multiple personalities.

The smile on Tang YunQi's pretty face disappears. Her pupils enlarge slightly as if she can't
believe that Elder brother is speaking to her in this way.

Mo Gu also sees that the Ling Xiao today is not quite the same as the one from yesterday, but he
doesn't suspect that he is not the real thing. Although he is surprised that he would be together with a
nobody from Earth peak, he doesn't think much of it.

"Since everyone is here, let's go!"

Saying this, Mo Gu leads the disciples towards the winged-bird square.


You XiaoMo plans to slip away secretly to join the Earth peak disciples but who knew that just
when he turns around, he is almost strangled by a strong pull on his collar. Turning around, he is met
with Ling Xiao's 'gentle' look.

"Little brother, where do you think you're going?"

You XiaoMo shrinks, saying spinelessly: "Nowhere, I'm not going anywhere."

Ling Xiao seems to be very pleased with his spineless reaction, releasing him and telling him to
keep up before walking ahead.

As for Tang YunQi, looking at his receding back, she suddenly turns around and gives You XiaoMo
a ferocious stare before chasing up to Ling Xiao.

You XiaoMo hangs down his head, resigning himself to his fate. He feels that this trip down the
mountain is really filled with bad luck, actually attracting such an unbelievable mountain of trouble.
Not only that, he is now hated by Junior sister. His peaceful existence that only lasted a few days is
now officially over.

Upon reaching the winged-bird square, You XiaoMo receives another hateful glare from Tang
YunQi. This time, her fury is even more obvious. That's because Ling Xiao wants to sit on the same
winged-bird as him. Even though he says it indifferently, he gives the impression that it is non-
negotiable.

As a result, those glaring at him is not just Tang YunQi. Several Heaven peak disciples are also
looking at him unpleasantly. Especially the one that was told to sit with the Earth peak disciples, his
face bright red from suppressed anger.

"Little brother XiaoMo, come sit over here."

Ling Xiao pats the spot by his side, speaking to the dawdling You XiaoMo.

As soon he says those words, everyone's gaze locks onto You XiaoMo. There is jealously, there is
anger, and there is even admiration. But the most obvious one is the furious glare from Tang YunQi.
Finally unable to take it any longer, she states, "Elder brother, that is my spot."

"Is that so!" Ling Xiao seems to think it over before saying, "Then I'm fine with the back seat."

Saying this, he gets up and walks over to You XiaoMo and plonks down next to him. Completely
disregarding everyones stares, including the aggrieved Tang YunQi who looks as if she is about to
cry.

The one with the most seniority, Mo Gu, takes it all in but doesn't say anything. What can he say?
One is the daughter of the Grand Master, the other is the Elder disciple that the Grand Master places
high hopes on. This old man can't interfere with the affairs of the younger generation. Furthermore, he
roughly understands Lin Xiao's character. If Lin Xiao really likes YunQi, he would not have always
treated her indifferently.

In the end, Tang YunQi is unable to change Ling Xiao's decision. Even though she had defended her
position, she was still pushed away by Elder brother. Even though he acts differently, for now the face
is still the same.

The winged-bird takes off, spreading out its beautiful wings on both sides. In an instant they are
soaring up to the sky, Tang YunQi's resentful whimpers replaced by the whistling wind rushing by
their ears.

Because the speed of the winged-birds is very fast, usually no one would speak at this time. You
XiaoMo also thinks so but suddenly a teasing voice tinged with evil reaches his ear.

"You see, Little brother. Now everyone is envious of you."

*Boom*, You XiaoMo feels something explode in his head. He reflexively turns around and comes
face to face with a pair of cold mocking eyes. But he doesn't fail to detect the flash of mischief in
those eyes that leave him reeling in shock. He stares at him, eyes bulging, this... this is intentional? If
he had not said those words, he would not have known that it is indeed intentional.

When they reach TianXin sect, You XiaoMo still hasn't made any sense of the situation. But
throughout the whole journey, the way Ling Xiao treats him could not be any better.

At the fork, Mo Gu wanted to ask Ling Xiao if he wants to go with them to Heaven peak. Instead,
Ling Xiao lets them go ahead since he wants to go together with You XiaoMo. With Tang YunQi
looking back at them resentfully every now and then, You XiaoMo is forcefully escorted by Ling Xiao
back to Earth peak. On the way, the other four disciples dare not speak, frequently stealing glances at
Ling Xiao. In their hearts, they are probably thinking the same thing as the Heaven peak disciples.
Why is it that in one day the relationship between You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao has become so close?

Upon reaching Earth peak, Ling Xiao follows You XiaoMo to his room. Luckily it is the time for
morning classes, so they don't come across anyone on the way.

You XiaoMo pushes open the door and walks in. Ling Xiao stands at the doorway and evaluates his
room, saying: "How shabby na!"

You XiaoMo glances back at him and stammers: "All of Earth peak rooms are like this. If you...
you are not used to this, you can go back to your own room."

The last part was said very softly but Ling Xiao hears everything. His lips start to curve upwards
as he laughs, "Little brother XiaoMo, would it be better if I move in with you?"

You XiaoMo immediately looks at him in horror. You've got to be kidding!

His expression fills Ling Xiao with delight making him roar with laughter.

You XiaoMo blushes instantly, realizing that he was tricked.


In the end, Ling Xiao doesn't stay. It seems as if he was only surveying the lay of the land. Before
long, a Junior brother comes over to fetch him, saying that he was sent over because the Grand Master
is looking for him regarding something urgent. They soon leave.

Once they leave, You XiaoMo climbs weakly on to the bed. Wiping the sweat off his brow, he feels
that today's experience really shook him to the core!

Chapter 28

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Heartfelt wishTang Fan, the Grand Master of TianXin sect has held this post for almost a hundred
years. Under his leadership, TianXin sect is becoming more and more like a first class sect. Now it is
regarded as the one most likely to become the leading sect in Long Xiao continent. Someone with this
level of skill is surely not a simple man. In Lin Xiao's memory, even though Tang Fan is his Master, he
is still a mystery. Even though Lin Xiao is his cherished Elder disciple, he still doesn't know what
level of strength Tang Fan has. That's why most people have the impression that Tang Fan is like a
fox, a wily old fox, enigmatic and impossible to predict.

Because he is afraid of Tang Fan, Lin Xiao has never dared to expose the tiniest bit of weakness in
front of him. But most importantly, because TianXin sect is a first class sect of Long Xiao continent,
its true strength is not something that is easily revealed. It's a pity that even someone like Lin Xiao is
unable to find out the true strength of TianXin sect.

That Tang Fan will summon him now is something Ling Xiao expected. Putting aside the huge
change in his temperament, suddenly associating with a nobody from Earth peak, just Tang YunQi
running back complaining in tears is probably enough of a reason. In Lin Xiao's memory, Tang Fan is
a doting father. Anything Tang YunQi wishes, as long as it is within acceptable limits, Tang Fan will
surely help her achieve it. So, this time, Tang YunQi feeling slighted in front of everyone would
definitely run crying to Tang Fan.

"Elder brother, Grand Master is waiting for you inside."

The Junior brother that brought him here leaves him outside the Assembly Hall. Ling Xiao looks
over the grand exterior of the Assembly Hall. The plaque carrying the name is said to have been put
up personally by Tang Fan. Appearing gentle on the surface, each stroke is actually incisive, with a
cutting edge. It's just that it is deeply hidden.

Pushing open the door and walking in, the vast Assembly Hall although not particularly sumptuous
is extremely imposing. Two exquisitely carved chairs sit facing the entrance. On one of them sits a
middle-aged man that appears to be about forty.

The middle-aged man has kind brows and pleasant eyes. Upon seeing Ling Xiao, he reveals an
amiable smile, "Lin Xiao, you're here. Come over to Master."

Ling Xiao walks over expressionless, his lips slightly curving, "Master."

This greeting of Master is actually too high a praise for Tang Fan. According to his qualifications,
Tang Fan is simply not worthy to be his Master. In fact, if you turn it around, Tang Fan is not even
worthy of being his disciple. It's only that he is now playing the part of Lin Xiao, so he can only give
Tang Fan this undeserved respect.
"Xiao son, it has been a long time since we master and disciple have had a heart to heart talk.
Now that we have this rare time when we are both unoccupied, come sit. Let's have a talk." Tang
Fan beams while looking at him.

Ling Xiao is not the tiniest bit reserved, taking the first seat below Tang Fan, "Master is right, we
have not really talked for almost two years."

Tang Fan strokes his beard while nodding in satisfaction, "Xiao son, do you remember, the first
time we talked, the time and the place?"

"Not many are able to enter Master's room. I still remember, the first time you looked for me
was in the middle of the night. Such a distinctive move, only the honorable you is capable of
that."

A light smile appears on Ling Xiao's expressionless face, as if recalling something from memory,
showing no chink in his armor.

"People age, the ability to remember is also reduced greatly ah." Tang Fan sighs.

They continued with some small talk, mostly reminiscing. Finally Tang Fan brings up his darling
daughter. Tang YunQi is really a spoilt princess. But everyone can see that Lin Xiao has always
treated Tang YunQi coolly. This, even Tang Fan can see clearly. And because he can see it clearly,
Tang Fan is not worried. Tang Fan is well aware of how unreasonable his darling daughter can be.
That's why he doesn't ask Ling Xiao to let her have her way. He only asks that he occasionally gives
in to her so that there wouldn't be too much trouble. After all, she is a young girl, and one that loves to
save face, especially in front of the other disciples. After talking for almost two hours, Tang Fan
finally lets him leave.

Pretending to be Lin Xiao, Ling Xiao's performance can be said to be very relaxed, not in the least
bit troubled.

Leaving the Assembly Hall, Ling Xiao leisurely strolls down the long passageways. The smile on
his lips getting broader and broader. What a wily old fox ah. Nine out of ten sentences stuck to events
from the past. If he had not absorbed Lin Xiao's memory, he would have been made.

Lin Xiao is a cold man, bordering on being heartless. But his popularity in TianXin sect is so good
that it's quite unimaginable. Normal people would not be able to comprehend, but Ling Xiao who has
absorbed his memories understands his motives all too clearly. In order to win over the hearts of
others, he would frequently 'unwittingly' grant favors for the disciples by his side. Because most of
the time these unwitting actions, for those that are in a difficult spot, will seem like receiving coal in a
snowstorm. More often than not, those people will remember that he is someone that has been good to
them. Lin Xiao makes use of this point. That's why a lot of TianXin sect disciples feel indebted to him
and worship him. The cold and expressionless Elder brother, under that indifferent exterior hides a
warm heart. It's as if all the disciples also think this way.

But _______ except for a few trusted subordinates, no one knows that there is a motive behind
these actions. Truthfully speaking, Ling Xiao only absorbed his memories because it was convenient.
He never expected that Lin Xiao is actually hiding such a huge secret. Ambition ah, that's a really
good thing!

So Ling Xiao resolves that since he is replacing him, he would help him fulfill that teeny tiny
heartfelt wish!

"Elder brother, you've finally returned." A young man turns around. Upon seeing him, the young
man is delighted, running over without stopping to take a breath, whispering softly, "Did you find
that thing?"

Ling Xiao is all smiles, "Zhou Peng ah, since I Elder brother handled it myself, of course it
was easy as reaching out my hand."

He knows what Zhou Peng is referring to. It's also because of that thing that Lin Xiao came across
him, and so lost his life.

Zhou Peng is stunned for a moment. This is the first time he sees Elder brother with such a gentle
smile.

.......

You XiaoMo had planned to go back to the dimension when he returned to TianXin sect, to sprinkle
the level one and level two seeds on the ground. But after the unexpected event, he does not dare to.
Who knows when someone would come over suddenly to look for him.

After spending the whole morning reading in his room, he finally guesses that Ling Xiao won't be
coming over at this time. You XiaoMo looks down at his flattened stomach and decides to go have
lunch at the canteen. Even if the heavens are going to collapse it will still have to wait until he has
finished his lunch. Of course these bold words are only said when Ling Xiao is not around.

What's special about today? It seems that there are more people than usual in the canteen. You
XiaoMo doesn't really care. He is only worried that all the dishes would run out so he hurries inside.
He's not sure if it is his imagination but the people coming and going, including those already seated
seem to be giving him strange looks. Most of them are scrutinizing him and sizing him up and as if
puzzled, they occasionally whisper to each other.

You XiaoMo doesn't realize that he is already very famous. After receiving food from the cook, he
looks all around and sees that there are no empty seats. Just as he is hesitating, a voice suddenly calls
out to him from a table near his right side: "Little brother, over here!"

You XiaoMo turns around to look. It's actually Elder brother Fang ChenLe. There just happens to
be an empty spot by his side. So without hesitation, You XiaoMo walks straight over holding his food
tray.

Having not seen each other for about two days, Fang ChenLe is just as familiar as before, actually
helping him to pull out a chair on his own accord. You XiaoMo thanks him politely and sits down.

Fang ChenLe looks at the food on his tray and says with a smile: "Little brother, do you eat this
little for every meal?"

You XiaoMo nods, "This is enough, I'm not used to eating too much."

Fang ChenLe laughs out loud. This is the first time he hears someone saying they are not used to
eating too much. As far as he knows, eating is a human instinct. But he is the only one laughing. The
other disciples at the table can't help but look at each other in dismay. Finally one of them can't hold
back any longer.

"Junior brother, we hear that you have a good relationship with the rising star from the
Warrior division, Lin Xiao. This morning, you even came back together with him. Is it true?"

You XiaoMo looks up in surprise and sees that everyone who heard those words are now looking
intently at him. He finally understands why people were looking at him in that way when he came in
earlier. Looks like the matter from this morning has gotten around. It's obvious who spread the news.
Other than the disciples that were with him this morning, no one else could have spread the story
around Earth peak this quickly.

Looking at the burning stares from everyone, You XiaoMo laughs in embarrassment, "Actually, it's
a misunderstanding."

"How can it be a misunderstanding ne? A lot of people witnessed it." That disciple frowns
thinking that You XiaoMo is trying to hide the truth.

"It's really a misunderstanding ......."

You XiaoMo pouts uncomfortably, feeling uneasy being the target of their stares. Other than a
misunderstanding, what else can he say? He definitely can't say it's because he discovered Ling
Xiao's secret so he is now being threatened by him. If he didn't experience this personally, he
wouldn't believe it either.

"Alright, don't badger Little brother any more. He said it's a misunderstanding so it's a
misunderstanding. After all, the canteen is a place for meals, not a place to talk nonsense."

Fang ChenLe speaks out to rescue You XiaoMo from his difficult position. He is probably the only
one in the whole canteen that is not curious about the relationship between You XiaoMo and Ling
Xiao.

After the rest leave, You XiaoMo quietly thanks Fang ChenLe. The latter only replies warmly that
he is welcome. Ah, now this is the image of an Elder brother that fits what You XiaoMo has in his
heart! With tears flowing, he thinks, what of Ling Xiao? That one is truly not a fitting Elder brother!

Chapter 29

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

The most difficult magic pill.In the afternoon, You XiaoMo doesn't go to the Hall of Enchanted
Herbs to refine magic pills. The other day, he had asked for two days of leave. Furthermore, he no
longer has to report to the Hall of Enchanted Herbs everyday. Those few days they went to the Hall of
Enchanted Herbs was because they had just entered TianXin sect, so there were a lot of things that
they didn't understand. That's why Elder brother Fang brought them there. Now that they have all
learned how to refine magic pills, as long as they have a cauldron, they can refine anywhere they
want. But You XiaoMo still goes to the Hall of Enchanted Herbs to collect three hundred stalks of
level one magic herbs. He feels that from this day on, his life will be like walking on a long arduous
road.

What he doesn't know is that a few of Earth peak disciples are lying in wait for him in the stone
room to question him further. Just like this he somehow manages to avoid it all.

Back in the room, You XiaoMo closes the door and windows tightly before entering the dimension.

In the dimension lie all the things he prepared yesterday. After encountering Ling Xiao, he had not
dared to come back for fear of being discovered.

From the cupboard, he takes out the level one magic herb seeds that were gifted by Orchid
pavilion. You XiaoMo takes the ones he is familiar with and scatters them on the ground. After using
up about one third of the land, he stores the remainder. Then he takes out a few packets of the level
two magic herb seeds. Regarding level two magic herbs, You XiaoMo had asked Elder brother Fang
ChenLe about them before. The level two magic herbs in Earth peak's medicine garden are mostly the
common ones. In the future, if he were to ascend to be a level two mage, he can go the Hall of
Enchanted Herbs to get his share of level two magic herbs. That is to say that he can get whichever
magic herbs he wants as long as he is able to produce the magic pills. That's why he only takes out
eight packets of level two magic herb seeds. He plans to first try it out with the ingredients for two
types of magic pills. The rest he would wait to see how it goes.

He scatters half of each of the eight packets. As a result from two thirds of the remaining land, he is
now left with one fifth of unused land. This remaining one fifth You XiaoMo intends to grow level
three magic herbs. Since he is now only a level one mage, he has no need for level three magic herbs.
So he decides that he will only plant a little and prioritize the level two magic herbs. When he has
free time, he would do more weeding and prepare more land.

After sprinkling the seeds, You XiaoMo takes out a medium wooden bucket and a ladle from the
cupboard. He bought these from the wooden furnishings shop. Because he had considered that the
seeds would have to be watered, he had asked the manager to find him a bucket and a ladle.

The water in the lake is as clear as before. So clear that the bottom of the lake is visible. No matter
what You XiaoMo does to the water, it is as if there is a filter installed in the lake. Not long later, the
impurities will automatically disappear and the water will regain its original appearance. You
XiaoMo has wondered about this before. He even went as far as to wash his dirty clothes in the water
but the result is still the same as mentioned above. The dirt will sink to the bottom and after not very
long they will disappear without a trace, as if they had disintegrated. Because he doesn't see any
harmful effects, You XiaoMo just forgets about it after some thought.

He fills the wooden bucket to the brim and brings it back to the field. He then proceeds to water the
field one ladle at a time. He finishes watering everything after using up eleven buckets of water.
Looking at the moist ground, You XiaoMo smiles in satisfaction. This is the result of two hours of his
hard work. Wiping the sweat off his brow, You XiaoMo puts down the bucket and ladle before turning
around to leave the dimension.

Just when he turns his back, the area behind him that was sprinkled with level one magic herb
seeds is suddenly covered with sprouts. Tender and green. Vigorous and fresh. Even swaying
strangely as if sitting in shallow stagnant water......

You XiaoMo who had already left is completely unaware of all that. He is preparing to practice
another type of level one magic pill. That magic pill is called Spiritual energy pill. It is the most
difficult level one magic pill to refine. It is made up of three types of magic herbs, seven petal flower,
fragrant fruit, and dried leaf herb. The reason why it is the most difficult is because its main purpose
is to produce spiritual energy. Not the same as the Accumulate energy magic pill.

Accumulate energy pill works by concentrating the spiritual energy from the surroundings into the
body of the martial artist. So when using the Accumulate energy pill, one must find an area that has a
relatively high level of spiritual energy. On the other hand, the Spiritual energy magic pill is like a
reserve. The magic pill is filled with pure spiritual energy. This spiritual energy comes from the
seven petal flower, fragrant fruit, dried leaf herb as well as the surrounding spiritual energy that is
present when the magic pill is refined. So the Spiritual energy pill is a test of a mage's skill. The
purer the surrounding spiritual energy, the better. More impurities means the spiritual energy will not
be pure.

Normal magic herbs, because of differences during cultivation will contain some defects. Even
high grade magic herbs will contain a certain amount of impurities. So during the distillation process
the mage must increase the number of rounds. If not, the spiritual energy in the Spiritual energy magic
pill will not be pure, decreasing its value significantly.

There is a reason why You XiaoMo chooses the Spiritual energy magic pill. Ever since he was
harassed by Ling Xiao yesterday, he has been worrying over one thing. He had originally planned to
rely on refining magic pills to earn money to buy magic herb seeds. But if he has to turn over fifty
magic pills to Ling Xiao everyday, he simply will be left with nothing to sell. This means that this
way of livelihood is over. In order to keep this mode of income alive, he scoured through the ancient
books and found the Spiritual energy magic pill.

The Spiritual energy magic pill is the most difficult level one magic pill. Because of that, its price
is more than double that of other level one magic pills. Especially the ones with purer spiritual
energy. The price of this type of magic pill can only be high.
Before he starts out, You XiaoMo calculates it out. For each stalk of magic herb, he can distill them
three to four times. This is calculated based on his soul force. When his soul force is full, he can
distill each magic herb four times. But later on it won't be possible. Three times would already be
considered a lot. This could be related to the resilience of his soul.

Taking all this into account, You XiaoMo divides out the magic herbs on the table. Other than the
ingredients for the Spiritual energy magic pill, there are also that for the Accumulate energy magic
pill. The flower of the seven petal flower has seven petals, hence its name. You XiaoMo plucks the
seven petal flower and throws it into the cauldron. Then he takes the fragrant fruit that is as big as his
finger and the stalk of the dried leaf herb and throw them all into the cauldron before starting. Like
before, he divides his soul force into three parts and like little streams, fly into the cauldron. Then he
envelops the three types of magic herbs. Because his current condition is optimal, he easily distills
the three types of magic herbs four times.

Just when he wants to stretch his hand into the cauldron, something crosses his mind. He shifts his
line of vision into the three small holes. For some reason, You XiaoMo intuitively feels that he can do
it. He can distill the magic herbs for the fifth time. This is a baseless gut feeling, kind of like a sixth
sense. He takes a deep breath and decides to follow his heart. He then proceeds to manipulate his
soul force into the little holes.......

Quietly, the sun that was hanging high in the sky falls below the western horizon. When Ling Xiao
opens the door, he sees a figure with its back facing him falling backwards. As if reflexively he
rushes over to catch the figure. When he looks down, he sees a rather pale-faced You XiaoMo. There
is a layer of sweat on his forehead. As if having lost half his life, his weak body falls into Ling Xiao's
arms. In his hand, he holds a magic pill?

fragrant fruit - Malus Asiatica Nakai

Chapter 30

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

I ate it.You XiaoMo feels someone supporting him. He only manages to catch a glimpse of Ling
Xiao before losing consciousness.

Soul force overuse? One look and Ling Xiao can see that there is a problem with You XiaoMo's
condition. He frowns. He is not that well versed with mages and their practices. But he knows that
usually a mage is able to tell how much soul force he has left when refining magic pills. So, most
mages, when they feel their soul force running low, they would stop refining magic pills and take the
appropriate amount of rest before starting again. If not, they could incur some sort of aftereffect. Such
as exhausting their soul force and being unable to recover for some time. Or being extremely fatigued,
unable to move for a few days, and things like that.

And here, You XiaoMo actually overuses his soul force while refining magic pills. Ling Xiao
doesn't get it. Yet he still lifts him up. Unexpectedly, this young boy is lighter than he imagined. After
placing him on the bed, Ling Xiao's eyes fall on the magic pill firmly grasped in his hand. Is this that
magic pill?

Ling Xiao pries open his fingers one by one and takes the magic pill. It's only a level one magic
pill. Looks pretty common. The spiritual energy it contains still cannot compare to the place where he
used to live.

But ------- this level one magic pill is quite different from the one he ate yesterday. It's as if the
energy contained inside is even more pure, even more concentrated. Most importantly the impurities
is much less compared to the ones from yesterday. This point amazes him. Looks like this convenient
Little brother can really give him such a pleasant surprise ne!

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes, conveniently tossing the magic pill into his mouth. After a few chews,
he then swallows it straight into his stomach. Just like that, the magic pill that You XiaoMo risked his
life for, overusing his soul force, is simply eaten and gone!

Taking a deep breath, Ling Xiao feels that this is the best magic pill he has ever eaten. Although the
amount of energy contained in the magic pill is not much, but it is especially pure. Spreading out from
his throat through his four limbs, it has been a long time since he experienced this weightless feeling
throughout his whole body.

After finishing the magic pill, Ling Xiao walks towards the wooden table. Three bottles and bits of
magic herbs are scattered on the simple and crude wooden table. Each bottle holds several magic
pills. In a sweeping glance he sees that they hold from ten to fifty magic pills. After tasting each one,
he can't help but raise his brows. They all taste different. Furthermore, none of them are as good as
the one he just ate.

A vague expression flashes across his face. He then switches his attention to You XiaoMo who is
still passed out on the bed.

A thin and weak body. A slender neck. He only needs to exert a little force to make him disappear
from this world. But this young boy, so weak that he is almost not worth mentioning, can actually
refine magic pills that perfectly suits his taste. This phenomenon has not happened before, not even
with many high level mages. One can't deny that his interest in him is getting stronger and stronger.

"Considering your contribution in the matter of refining magic pills, I'll give you a helping
hand."

Ling Xiao bends over. From the back, it looks as if his whole body is pressed onto You XiaoMo.
He grips his lower jaw with one hand and gives him a breath of air. That breath of air seems to have a
magical effect. You XiaoMo's eyes that were originally tightly shut suddenly start to move. After ten
breaths the eyes slowly open. What fills his field of vision is a magnified face. Although it is a very
handsome face, he jumps up in fright.

A shudder run through his whole body. He tries hard to bury his head under his pillow, "You you
you ....... what do you want?"

Seeing him in such a frightened state, Ling Xiao's lips curve up suddenly, "You fainted, so I gave
you a breath."

"Gave me a breath?" You XiaoMo suddenly raises his voice, his eyes bulging in disbelief. He
then covers his own lips, like someone who had just been taken advantage of, looking at the gleeful
Ling Xiao.

"What kind of reaction is this?" asks Ling Xiao.

You XiaoMo lowers his eyes and says resentfully: "No ... nothing."

Liar, Ling Xiao can obviously read the 'You're bullying me' accusation on his face, "Little brother,
good children don't tell lies."

I am not a child!

You XiaoMo pouts and asks after some hesitation, "Elder brother Lin, you ... how did you give
me, uh, give me a breath?"

After saying this, before Ling Xiao could explain, he already starts to blush. He really doesn't want
have crooked thoughts, but those words really makes one think that way.

Ling Xiao stares at his face, causing You XiaoMo to get redder and redder, almost to the point of
hyperemia. Only then do his lips start to curve upwards slightly, saying softly, "Of course it's mouth
to mouth ah!"

As if being struck by lightning under a clear sky, You XiaoMo is dumbstruck. Inside his head, those
three words 'mouth to mouth' reverberate. *wu wu* His first kiss is gone just like that. What's more,
it's with a man!

Ling Xiao gets more and more intrigued by his expression. This is the first time he has seen
someone with so much expression on his face.

Even though he finds it very amusing, Ling Xiao doesn't forget to get to the important matter,
resuming, "Little brother, did your brothers not tell you about the dangers of overusing your soul
force?"

"Ah?" You XiaoMo looks up both resentful and flustered, just lacking two streams of tears down
his face.

Ling Xiao straightens his body and sits down by his side, explaining, "The reason why you
fainted just now is because you overused your soul force. Don't tell me you don't realize that
oh."

Hearing those words, You XiaoMo jumps up and cries in alarm, "That's right, my magic pill."

Saying this, he jumps from the bed and rushes over to find the magic pill. Ling Xiao didn't touch the
few bottles of magic pills on the table. Although he did take one each but You XiaoMo doesn't notice
because the one he is looking for is not one of those. He's searching for the very last magic pill that he
refined. But no matter how hard he tries, he doesn't find it.

You XiaoMo thinks back. He remembers that before he fell back, that magic pill seemed ... seemed
to be firmly grasped in his hand? As if from a psychic connection, You XiaoMo turns around and
immediately crashes into those smiling eyes of Ling Xiao, tinged with mischief and hidden meaning.

This type of expression is the one that You XiaoMo loathes the most. Because during that night in
He Ping town, that was the exact expression Ling Xiao had when he finished off several bottles of
magic pills.

Seeing him look at him, especially that look of suspicion, Ling Xiao laughs and says wickedly: "If
you are looking for that magic pill, I'm sorry to say, I ate it." Saying this, he licks his lower lip, as
if savoring the aftertaste!

You XiaoMo warns himself, I must endure!

Chapter 31

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Alchemical technique.

Although he is very angry that Ling Xiao ate his magic pill, it only lasts for a little while. Since he
managed to refine that magic pill, he can just refine another one. What is regrettable is that he didn't
manage to see how it is different from the others.

Today, for the whole afternoon, You XiaoMo refines all the the three hundred stalks of magic herbs
he got from the Hall of Enchanted Herbs. He did not waste a single minute. His speed is significantly
faster than before. An important factor to this success is his proficiency gained from experience. But
the most important factor is that for fifty of them, he only distilled them once.

Before, it took him the time to brew half a cup of tea to refine one magic pill. Now, he can refine
two level one magic pills in that time. So he can refine fifty magic pills in under two hours. Because
of this huge decrease in time, he can use the remaining time to experiment on the magic pill that Ling
Xiao ate.

That magic pill was distilled five times, the most he has ever done up till now. Usually, the most is
not more than four times. But when he distilled five times, it was as if he used up all his soul force,
only succeeding through sheer willpower. It's too bad that Ling Xiao ate it up before he could figure
out how much the risk was reduced. So he can only console himself that it was only a level one magic
pill. He can just find some time later to refine another one.

"Little brother."

Just when he is immersed in his thoughts, Ling Xiao suddenly calls him. You XiaoMo's reaction is
rather slow. He only realizes a moment later that Ling Xiao is calling him. He raises his head and
looks at him with suspicious eyes.

Ling Xiao thinks that Little brother is finally angry. But just when he is about to mock him,
unexpectedly the resentful look on his face disappears after only a moment. It seems his ability to get
right back up again is quite high. Really too amusing!

"Little brother. Next time don't overuse your soul force again." Ling Xiao suddenly says in all
seriousness.

"Why?" You XiaoMo asks without thinking.

"Because it is harmful to your soul. Overusing your soul force is equal to overusing your soul
capacity. Furthermore, the soul is the essence of a person. No matter if it is an ordinary person
or a mystic, when the soul is no more, you will disappear from this world. But for mages, this is
even more critical." says Ling Xiao.
"Why?" You XiaoMo dumbly asks again. He really never gave much thought to this issue.

It may be recorded in the library, but there is a limit to how much content he can read. Regarding
the soul force and the soul, he definitely did not come across anything on the first floor.

"The soul force of a mage is not the same as the souls of martial artists. Your brothers should
have told you that only mages have a soul force. So, if there is no soul force, then you lose the
ability to refine magic pills. When you overuse your soul force, you indirectly damage your soul.
Understand?"

Saying this, he raps You XiaoMo on the head and winks. It seems as if his serious demeanor a
moment ago is just a facade.

You XiaoMo blinks in pain while holding his head. He thinks to himself that he must not admit that
he is not quite used to the serious Ling Xiao. If he does, wouldn't that mean that he is a masochist?
Only a fool would admit to such a shameful thing.

Ling Xiao beams saying: "But ....... the last pill you refined, the taste is really not bad oh."

You XiaoMo's scalp starts to tingle. He suddenly gets a bad premonition.

Sure enough, he hears him say: "I've decided. I've decided to change from fifty magic pills to
twenty. Plus one of that magic pill. I only want one. How about it? Elder brother is really good
to you right?"

Good your head! You XiaoMo curses silently.

"Elder brother. Didn't you just tell me that I shouldn't rashly overuse my soul force?" You
XiaoMo raises his head and looks at him innocently.

Ling Xiao raises his elegant brows, "With your current soul force, don't tell me you can't even
refine one?"

You XiaoMo scratches his head, "Right now it's not possible. The amount of soul force needed
to distill the magic herbs five times is more than I expected. Before I refined that magic pill, my
soul force was very full but it was still not enough."

In actual fact, his body felt a little weak after he finished refining ninety nine magic pills. So he
drank some lake water from his dimension. He didn't expect that the lake water would be so magical.
Not only did it restore his spirit and remove his fatigue, it also fully replenished his soul force.
Really exceeding his expectations.

What was he thinking at that time? When he was distilling the magic herbs, he suddenly wondered
if he could do it five times. And just like that, he went ahead with it. How could he have known that
the fifth time is more difficult than the fourth time by two to three times. Therefore, he consumed two
thirds of his soul force all at once. Not wanting to give up halfway, You XiaoMo used the little that's
left of his remaining soul force to complete the five steps of the blending stage.

"So it seems the most important thing right now is to increase your soul force."

Seeing that his plan is not going to succeed, his expression is a little unsightly. His tone is tinged
with frustration. This is not the first time this young man has refused him. And yet he is showing such
a clueless expression.

You XiaoMo doesn't notice it, crying out *ah*, "The soul force can be increased?"

Ling Xiao raises his brows again, "How can it be that your brothers have not told you about
it?"

You XiaoMo thinks back. They really did not. But then it's probably not Elder brother Fang's fault.
They had just entered the sect for a few days so the most important question was if they could refine
magic pills. Knowledge on the soul force is probably something that they did not need at that stage.

Ling Xiao, on the hand, doesn't think that way. He feels that Fang ChenLe has failed in his duty. He
then explains: "There are two ways to increase the soul force. The first one is through practice.
With continuous practice, the soul force can be increased. But this method is rather slow.
Changes will only be noticeable after a long time. Of course, you can compare yourself with
your brothers. If you can refine more magic pills than them at one go, it means that your soul
force is more than theirs."

This is the first time Ling Xiao has spoken so long with someone who he just met for a day.

You XiaoMo, on the other hand, is listening with rapt attention, asking: "Then the second method
ne?"

Ling Xiao shoots him an indifferent glance, "The second method is by alchemical meditation.
It's more useful than you practicing from morning to night."

You XiaoMo's eyes start to gleam, asking hurriedly: "Really? That alchemical meditation ......"

Ling Xiao's lips start to curve upwards, revealing an expression that You XiaoMo is very familiar
with. It frightens him so much that his delighted expression vanishes instantly. But this frightened
expression brings Ling Xiao much delight, vastly improving his mood, "Little brother, do you think
that these alchemical techniques to train the soul force is something easily obtainable?"

"If not?" You XiaoMo asks in return in a small voice. Just like a little kitten that was frightened
into retracting its claws, except that he never had any claws to begin with.

Ling Xiao beams saying: "Alchemical techniques to train the soul force is something that not
even all high level mages have."

You XiaoMo ventures: "Can it be that alchemical techniques for the soul force is very rare?"
"Not only is it rare, the whole Long Xiao continent probably has less then ten volumes. As far
as I know, even a large sect such as TianXin sect only has one volume. Furthermore, it is kept as
a top secret. Other than the inner circle, they won't easily reveal it to the other disciples."

Of course, all these come from Lin Xiao's memory. As for he himself, he has always not bothered
with affairs of Long Xiao continent. Spending most his time in deep sleep, so it is not surprising that
he doesn't know.

"Inner circle ah......" You XiaoMo hangs down in head in disappointment. He is only a
probationary disciple so there is no reason even for wild hopes.

Seeing his crestfallen appearance, Ling Xiao feels inexplicably uncomfortable, blurting out:
"Actually, it's not impossible." He regrets saying that immediately, because .......

You XiaoMo recovers instantly like dying cinders that start to glow again, looking at expectantly.
This kind of look will drive someone to their death. Like an extremely adorable little kitten. Twin
pair of big black eyes like embedded gems, glistening at him, making his heart itch.

Ling Xiao fakes a cough, saying: "Looking at your situation, it is unlikely that TianXin sect will
pass on that alchemical technique to you. But ....... "

You XiaoMo nods his head in agreement, "But what?"

"But I have a way of getting it."

"Really?" You XiaoMo is immediately delighted. But after a moment of delight, he suddenly thinks
of a problem, saying in shock, "Don't tell me you're thinking of stealing TianXin sect's
alchemical technique?"

Right after saying this, his head is again rapped by Ling Xiao, "What are you saying? Do I look
like someone that will pose as a dog to steal chickens?"

You XiaoMo really wants to say yes, but after considering the consequences, he unwillingly shakes
his head and says, "No."

This word lets the great Ling Xiao feel very pleased. As for whether he is someone who would
pose as a dog to steal chickens, this is probably something that only he himself knows.

Chapter 32

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Earth peak disciple.Of course Ling Xiao can't go and steal TianXin sect's alchemical technique for
training the soul force. That volume of alchemical technique is kept on the highest level of the East
pavilion. Guarded by Elders of TianXin sect that have retired to work behind the scenes. Each of
them eccentrics with great strength. But this doesn't mean that he can't get that volume of alchemical
technique, it's just that if the alchemical technique is stolen, there will definitely be a huge uproar in
TianXin sect.

That volume of alchemical technique is deemed as a very important treasure for TianXin sect, so it
is checked on frequently. Once the theft is discovered, TianXin sect will definitely suspect that there
is a traitor within its ranks. Then that group of old guys will definitely appear from behind the scenes
to examine each and every disciple. This would be very troublesome for him. Furthermore, You
XiaoMo himself seems to have quite a bit of secrets. So stealing the alchemical technique is a very
bad move. He won't choose this method except as a last resort.

But he already told You XiaoMo that he would get him a volume of alchemical techniques to train
the soul force. As a trustworthy man, he must do what he says he would. Hence the next day, You
XiaoMo learns from others that Ling Xiao has gone down the mountain.

Yesterday, after finishing their discussion, Ling Xiao stayed for a while before leaving with twenty
magic pills. This leaves You XiaoMo with thirty magic pills. He feels that he can rely on selling these
for money the next time he goes down the mountain. Even though it is 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 thinks that he could be
going to look for alchemical techniques to train the soul force. He feels a little guilty in his heart,
since Ling Xiao is helping him look for it even though it obviously has nothing to do with him. But
when he considers that after obtaining the alchemical technique he will be able to refine even more
magic pills, that guilty feeling slowly disappears.

Holding the fifty magic pills he refined yesterday, You XiaoMo gets ready to go to the Hall of
Enchanted Herbs to turn them over and at the same time collect some magic herbs. The Hall of
Enchanted Herbs stipulates that half of the magic pills from the previous batch of magic herbs must be
turned over. If not, you won't be able to get more magic herbs.

There are one hundred and twenty types of level one magic herbs, that can be made into forty types
of magic pills. Up till now, You XiaoMo has refined three types of magic pills. Even though it is a
long way from forty, and even though it is not necessary that he has try all of them once, You XiaoMo
decides that he will try to refine each one once. After all, Ling Xiao did say that uninterrupted
practice is needed to increase the soul force.

As before, the person in charge of the Hall of Enchanted Herbs is Uncle Zhao. Seeing him head
over, he is no longer surprised. The bottle contains the usual fifty magic pills. Not one more, not one
less. Uncle Zhao doesn'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?" Uncle Zhao asks without even
raising his eyes.

"Six hundred stalks." You XiaoMo hesitates a little before answering.

This is not a small number, although you can only refine two hundred level one magic pills from
this number. Still, very few disciples will take more than five hundred stalks at once. But Zhao Zhen
knows this young man's speed. He can refine more than one hundred magic pills in a day. Six hundred
stalks will only take two days.

Just when he is about to record the amount, You XiaoMo speaks up again, "Uncle Zhao, I have a
request. I would like to get ingredients for ten types of magic pills, may I?"

You XiaoMo glances at him and quickly lowers his head when he looks back at him. He knows that
he is being a little unreasonable. Zhao Zhen finally looks at him properly, a little surprised but not
extremely so, "You may."

Saying this, he starts to gather the six hundred stalks of magic herbs for him. Ten types of magic
pills requires thirty different types of magic herbs. He doesn't have that many, only half the amount, so
Uncle Zhao allows You XiaoMo to go get them from the medicine garden. The one who leads him
there is a disciple from the Hall of Enchanted Herbs, a disciple that entered the sect before him.

"You're You XiaoMo?"

Walking one ahead and one behind, You XiaoMo suddenly hears the voice of the big brother. Not
sure if it is his imagination but the big brother's tone is quite unkind. It feels a bit like disdain, like he
is talking someone that is unworthy.

You XiaoMo can't make any heads or tails of it. It doesn't seem as if he has done anything to offend
this big brother. Furthermore, he has always maintained a low profile with no reason to offend
anyone. Most importantly, he has no recollection of this big brother. On top that, when did he become
so famous such that a big brother he doesn't recognize is able to call out his name?

The other party stops in front of the entrance to the medicine garden. Turning around to face him
and seeing the bewildered look on his face, he says: "Looks like you yourself are not aware ba.
Now, everyone in the mage division knows of your existence. And also know that Elder brother
Lin Xiao from the Warrior division embarrassed Junior sister YunQi in front of everyone
because of you. I also heard that Elder brother Lin Xiao went to look for you in the afternoon.
What's so great about you? Why would Elder brother Lin Xiao suddenly take an interest in
you?"

You XiaoMo is dumbstruck. Not even a day has passed and it actually spread to this extent. It's too
bad that he can'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", it's already a different person. Furthermore this
person is very hateful, always taking delight in bullying him.

But in the eyes of the people in TianXin sect, Lin Xiao really did take a sudden interest in him. So
it is not possible that there is no reason behind it.

After some thought, You XiaoMo questions, "This big brother, are you a Earth peak disciple?"

There is an abrupt change in the expression of the other party. After giving You XiaoMo a glare, he
turns around and leaves. After all, they have already reached the medicine garden.

You XiaoMo rubs his nose. Those words are a little provocative, but he has no choice. Who asked
him to be so aggressive?

The bad relationship between Earth peak and Heaven peak is an open secret. This bit is 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 is not as
terrible as he imagined, they have always been locked in secret competition.

But Earth peak is the one that loses terribly each time. That's because the good resources and good
talent are all taken by Heaven peak beforehand. This is also the reason why Master Kong Wen is
always in seclusion, refusing to appear.

As for Flying peak, always stuck in the middle, not much brilliance but also unlikely to end up at
the bottom. So they end up being a passive observer.

There are specialized guards to look after the medicine garden. Each day there will be a few on
duty. After entering, You XiaoMo hands over the thing that Uncle Zhao gave him to one of them. After
taking a look, the other party simply gathers the remaining magic herbs for him.

Upon leaving the medicine garden, You XiaoMo heads directly back to his room.

Upon reaching his room, he doesn't immediately start to refine magic pills. Instead he takes out
twenty white bottles from his magic bag. The twenty bottles is what he got from Uncle Zhao before
leaving the Hall of Enchanted Herbs. Other than for storing the magic pills, he plans to use five
bottles to hold water from the lake in his dimension.

Since this lake water can replenish his soul force and physical strength, You XiaoMo decides to
prepare some in his magic bag, so he can use it at any time. This way, he won't have to go get it from
the dimension when the time comes.

With this intention in mind, the body soon appears in the dimension. This is a result of his research
after fumbling around for a day. As long as he wishes it strongly in his mind, he doesn't need to touch
the teardrop on his chest to get there.

It's just that before he could walk over, he is shocked by the sight of a huge expanse of lush green
things in front of his eyes. He doesn't even realize that the bottles in his hand have dropped to the
ground.

Chapter 33

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Key moment.He just planted the magic herbs yesterday, and surprisingly, today they have all
sprouted. Not only that, the level one magic herbs are growing faster than the level two and level
three magic herbs. The lush green is interspersed with clusters of bright colors. Some of them have
even bore fruit, namely the fragrant fruit herb. Although they look like they are not yet ripe, it
probably won't take much longer.

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

Not stopping to pick up the bottles from the ground, You XiaoMo runs right over. He is not
imagining things, they have indeed all sprouted. But because they are not yet mature, he can't tell if
they are top grade magic herbs.

You XiaoMo thinks 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 is sure that that must be the reason. Since the lake water can replenish his soul force, it is not
surprising that it would have this effect. Thinking of this, You XiaoMo gets very excited. If the lake
water is able to accelerate the growth of magic herbs, that means that the magic herbs he grows will
definitely grow faster than those planted by others outside. No matter what grade they are, he wouldn't
have to worry if he would have sufficient magic herbs from now on.

You XiaoMo's face is bright red from all this excitement. He paces back and forth before forcing
himself to calm down. He goes back to pick up the five bottles and fill them to the brim. Although not
a lot, he normally only needs one sip.

Before leaving, You XiaoMo decides that he has to find the time to clear out the rest of the weeds.
But right until he leaves, he doesn't notice that the air has begun to show signs of movement.

After that, You XiaoMo spends the whole morning and afternoon refining magic pills over and
over. With everything going smoothly, he forgets to have lunch.

When he refines magic pills, he will usually refine the ones that he is going to hand over first. But
in order to not appear as if he hasn't made any progress, he also mixes a few of the higher quality ones
inside. He then places them in his magic bag, ready to hand them over to Uncle Zhao the next day.

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

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

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

For example, for a mage that continues to practice refining level one magic pills, after days and
days of practice, there will be a huge amount, but that doesn't mean there will be a breakthrough.
There is a chance, but only a small chance. But if one has a book of alchemical techniques, then it
would be different.

Alchemical techniques directed at training the soul force is similar to the meditation techniques
performed by martial artists. With each day of training, adding up to months and years, their skills get
stronger and stronger. Training the soul force through alchemical techniques also abides by this
principle.

But You XiaoMo knows that these things cannot be rushed. So he tidies up the table and gets ready
to go eat. Just at this moment, the door is suddenly pushed open. A familiar figure strides in
obnoxiously.

You XiaoMo sighs helplessly. In the whole TianXin sect, there is only one that is so arrogant.

Chapter 34

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Heavenly Soul Scroll.Elegant white robe, tall stature, Ling Xiao is someone that approaches
perfection. After having travelled for almost a day, there is no sign of weariness as Ling Xiao walks
up to You XiaoMo and throws a book on the table.

You XiaoMo steals a glance at the book. It's not a new book but it has been kept meticulously. The
book cover is very well kept without any damage or wrinkle. On it is clearly written [Heavenly Soul
Scroll] three words. One look and you can tell that it is related to the soul since the word soul is
written on it.

Seeing that Ling Xiao is not saying anything, You XiaoMo can't take it any longer and picks up the
book. After flipping through, his whole face darkens, surprisingly he ....... can't recognize even a
single word!

You XiaoMo hesitates, looking at Ling Xiao, "Elder brother Ling, is this really a book of
alchemical techniques to train the soul force?"

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

"No no no." You XiaoMo quickly shakes his head. Of course he doesn'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 are able to understand, the other high level mages would have lived in vain." Ling
Xiao snorts.

"Do you mean that this book is written in ancient characters?"

He thinks of the characters on oracle bones. They are very different from the simplified Chinese
characters of today. Two completely different types of characters. But the latter is still a result of
continuous evolution throughout history.

"How smart." Ling Xiao glances at him, his tone is definitely not one of praise.

The characters of the Heavenly Soul Scroll is indeed written in ancient characters of Long Xiao
continent. But if you really want to get to the heart of the matter, probably only a few people will be
able to confirm it. That's because it is from over a hundred billion years ago.

A hundred billion years ago, there were much more alchemical techniques to train the soul force
than today. But because so much time has passed, and because some mages are not willing to pass on
these alchemical techniques, the number has decreased with time. Many of them have even
disappeared. That's why there are not more than ten volumes of alchemical techniques today in Long
Xiao continent.

But You XiaoMo is very curious. Since there are so few, how did he find this book? No matter how
curious, You XiaoMo doesn't dare to ask the question.

"Elder brother Ling, I don't understand the characters in this book. How can I train?" You
XiaoMo asks while holding the book.

Finally a faint smile appears on Ling Xiao's face, but it's a crafty smile. He simply says: "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 disappears with the cunning tone of his voice. He realizes that it won't come easy. Of course
there will be a price. He can almost imagine his purse getting flatter.

"Elder brother Ling, just tell me what conditions you have."

I will endure.

Ling Xiao reveals a 'so you can be sensible' type of expression. Making him run east and west, You
XiaoMo is actually the first to do that.

"I can translate the alchemical techniques for you. But once you make a breakthrough with
your soul force, I want ten of that magic pill."

Everything is said in a non-negotiable tone. You XiaoMo knows what type of magic pill he is
referring to. That's why he is depressed. Ten times more, just like that. But he finally has a book of
alchemical techniques. You XiaoMo is very excited. Not just ten, even twenty he would agree ah. Of
course, he would never tell Ling Xiao that.

"Elder brother Ling, then should we start now?" You XiaoMo holds the [Heavenly Soul
Scroll] and looks at Ling Xiao with a pair of sparkling eyes.

Ling Xiao frowns. Again with this little kitten look that makes the heart itch.

"What's the hurry? Even if I translate it for you now, you still can't start training
immediately."

"Why?" You XiaoMo blurts out after a stunned moment.

"Without anyone to show you the way, do you think you will succeed with your IQ?"

Ling Xiao raises the corners of his mouth. Again with the self-satisfied and insufferably arrogant
look. No matter how you look at it, it is clearly different from the elegant scholarly look. Why is it
that the others can't see it?
This is clearly an insult. Where does it show that he has a very low IQ? You XiaoMo is furious.

Ling Xiao stands up, walks over, pulls You XiaoMo by the arm and leads him outside,
"Accompany me for dinner. I'll find some time tomorrow to come by."

You XiaoMo blinks repeatedly, "Elder brother Ling, where are we going to eat?"

Ling Xiao looks at him from the corner of his eye, and says with an ambiguous smile, "Of course
we're going to Earth peak's canteen ah!"

It's a while before You XiaoMo lets out a miserable shriek.

At the same time, in a place where You XiaoMo doesn't know, something shocking reverberates
across Long Xiao continent. It seems that the renown top level mage of Long Xiao continent, Qiu Ran
has lost something very important. Because of that, he has issued an extremely high reward. He is
offering ten level nine magic pills and three level ten magic pills in exchange for the thief.

For You XiaoMo, that has no access to news from the outside world, he won't know about this for a
very very long time. By that time, he will already think of [Heavenly Soul Scroll] as something that is
rightfully his.

Notes:

wind and dust - weariness

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Uproar in the canteen.The result is, when the two of them appear, You XiaoMo is again rightfully
the center of attention. It's just that this time, there is also one Ling Xiao.

It just happens to be the peak time for dinner. When the two of them arrive, there are already a lot
of people seated inside.

Upon seeing them, especially when they see the one by You XiaoMo's side, Ling Xiao, there is a
disciple that spews out his food right there and then. Spraying on the disciple opposite him, covering
his face with food. The latter doesn't manage to get angry or wipe himself off because he is also
dumbstruck by what he sees.

Right at this moment, the thought that flashes through everyone's mind is that the rumor is indeed not
false. The Warrior division Lin Xiao actually running over to their domain to eat. Absolutely no one
would have believed it before.

But now, not only has he appeared, he comes together with You XiaoMo who has been embroiled
in scandal these past few days. Furthermore, their relationship is so close that they are eating together
in front of everyone. If anyone dares to say that there is nothing between them, they would definitely
be cursed to death.

The usually noisy and boisterous market-like atmosphere of the canteen becomes unusually quiet.
You XiaoMo cries tearless tears. It's not as if he didn't resist. It's just that faced with Ling Xiao, his
protests only seems like tickles. Ineffective and in vain.

"Elder brother Lin, how about we eat back in the room?" You XiaoMo asks cautiously.

Ling Xiao shoots a glance at him in return, "Since we're already here, what's this nonsense
about going back to the room? Go get the food, I'll find a table and wait for you."

You XiaoMo feels the impulse to stab him to death. This clearly isn't what he said on the way here.
He purposely wants to see him suffer. Without waiting for him to ask what he likes to eat, Ling Xiao
walks away, actually going to look for a table. But most of the tables in the canteen are actually
already occupied. So he suddenly hopes and prays that Ling Xiao wouldn't be able to find a seat.

Because he doesn't know what he likes to eat, You XiaoMo can only take a little bit of everything.
In the end, by the time he carries a big tray of food to look for Ling Xiao, he realizes how wrong he
was.

Ling Xiao found a spot. But it's definitely not an empty spot. That big table can seat ten people but
how did Ling Xiao do it? A ten person table and yet there are more than ten people crammed around
him. Furthermore, they are mostly female except for a few men.
You XiaoMo sees him right away. He can't even pretend he can't find him. So when he goes over,
there is simply no place for him. Seeing him come over, Ling Xiao says a few words to the female
disciple next to him. That female disciple suddenly covers her face coyly while standing up and
giving up her seat.

You XiaoMo is completely speechless. This man is what one calls a beast in human clothing, the
black sheep in literary circles. So detestable towards him, always seeking amusement at his expense.
But to the other disciples, he smiles so freely, both elegant and graceful.

After he sits down by Ling Xiao's side, he hears a voice that only he can hear, "It's just getting
food, why are you so slow?"

Slow? He already considers this fast. Interrupting Ling Xiao being hugged from all sides.

Probably due to the rapidly spreading news, more and more people are arriving at the canteen.
Among them are those that have already left after eating, now rushing back again.

As a result, You XiaoMo feels extreme pressure during this meal. Because knife-like stares scrape
across his body if not a thousand, then at least eight hundred. Admiration, jealousy, and hate, all
embodied in those glares.

But Ling Xiao is also probably fed up with the situation. He finishes quickly and pulls You
XiaoMo, who still hasn't finished eating, out of the canteen. This is the only time You XiaoMo doesn't
complain about Ling Xiao's dictatorial actions because he also really wants to leave the canteen. He's
only there because of Ling Xiao so it doesn't matter that he hasn't finished eating.

Upon reaching the room, Ling Xiao doesn't go in. He just asks You XiaoMo for todays batch of
magic pills and leaves. You XiaoMo already has everything prepared. For the whole day, other than
refining the one hundred magic pills to be handed over to the Hall of Enchanted Herbs, he also
refined Ling Xiao's share. Just enough, not one more, not one less. As for tomorrow, other than those
for Ling Xiao, the rest is for himself.

After sending Ling Xiao off, You XiaoMo takes out a few books from his room, and hurries
towards the library. Although what Ling Xiao said is right, that [Heavenly Soul Scroll] is written in
ancient text, he still wants to go to the library to look around. To check if he can find some
information.

Chapter 36

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Manuscript.You XiaoMo had originally planned to go to the library the next day. But because of
what happened today, he decided to go while it is getting dark. Once it gets dark, usually there will be
very few disciples wandering outside except for a few guards on patrol. So You XiaoMo doesn't run
into anyone on his way to the library.

It's a pity but You XiaoMo doesn't find what he is looking for. A hundred billion years ago is really
too long ago. Since people no longer remember it, what more of records in books. In the end, he
borrows a few illustrated magic herb handbooks and goes back.

At night, You XiaoMo again takes out that [Heavenly Soul Scroll] and looks it over. It's too bad he
still can't make any sense of it. A hundred billion years ago, who knows how much the characters
have evolved. There simply isn't a shred of resemblance. So he can only put the book back into his
dimension.

This time, You XiaoMo doesn't start to refine magic pills. Instead, he has a good night's sleep. Only
when sunshine pours in from outside the window does he wake up in a daze. Who would expect that
he would jump in fright from a magnified face in front of his eyes.

With a *dong*, You XiaoMo's forehead crashes into the other face .......

It may be that Ling Xiao's face is made out steel. A hard smack and immediately a bun emerges
from You XiaoMo's forehead, steaming and fragrant, as if fresh from the oven.

"*wu wu* ....... " You XiaoMo's whimpering cries can be heard after hitting his head.

The chief culprit on the other hand, is standing to one side laughing madly. The early morning
sunshine on his body adds to his bright looks. Such a dazzling man. If only his character isn't so
hateful.

"Little brother, does it hurt?" Ling Xiao sits beside him on the bed asking laughingly.

You XiaoMo is unable to say anything. Once again he experiences this loathsome nature of Ling
Xiao. Look at the state he's in. How can it not hurt? Even tears are threatening to spill out.

But he is puzzled. He clearly hit Ling Xiao's face full on. But the other party is completely
unaffected when he is in so much pain with bumps sprouting on his head.

"Your face, why is it so hard?" When the fierce pain starts to subside, he can't help from asking.

Ling Xiao leans over him, a gentle smile like a warm spring breeze on his face, "You're only a
mere mortal. How can you possibly compare to me? Even though this body is only an illusion,
whichever piece of my body is still tougher than your forehead."

"Whichever piece?" Isn't that really too boastful?

You XiaoMo -_-||. But he doesn't doubt his words. The more he finds out about him, the more he
feels that Ling Xiao is not someone anyone can understand. He always feels that this cheeky grin is
only Ling Xiao's mask. What is behind the mask, he has no idea.

"Elder brother Lin, why are you so early today?"

You XiaoMo quickly changes the topic. He no longer wishes to continue with this strange topic,
else he will be the only one to suffer.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I would find time to come see you?" Ling Xiao says as he
walks over to sit at the table. His demeanor is one that is very pleased with himself. He appears
relaxed with a tinge of forced elegance.

But in You XiaoMo's eyes, he's just being a pompous ass.

"This is still too early ba!" You XiaoMo grumbles in a small voice. He never expected that Ling
Xiao is such a man of action.

In order not to let Ling Xiao wait too long, lest he leaves from impatience, You XiaoMo only takes
the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea to wash up. When he returns to the room, there is a tea set on
his table from who knows where, and Ling Xiao is calmly sipping tea.

You XiaoMo almost sputters. The beast in human clothing can actually enjoy tea. Wildly exceeding
his expectations.

Seeming him return, a book suddenly appears in Ling Xiao's empty hand. On the book is written the
three words You XiaoMo is familiar with, translation of [Heavenly Soul Scroll]. One look and You
XiaoMo immediately pounces only to come up empty handed.

Ling Xiao looks at the You XiaoMo who almost fell flat on his face, his lips curving up into a
smile, "No need to be so impatient ah. Let us first discuss the terms. A translated manuscript
from the great me, there is only one such book in the whole Long Xiao continent. Do you think
you can send me away with a few measly magic pills?"

You XiaoMo turns into stone!

Chapter 37

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Face to face.So, after agreeing to conditions akin to forfeiting sovereignty and humiliating the
country, You XiaoMo finally gets the book he has been wishing for. Brimming with excitement, You
XiaoMo flips open the book. One look at the contents and a deep fissure immediately appears on his
face.

On the first page is written tadpole-like characters in a complete mess. The awesome looking
characters make him want to roar at Ling Xiao with rage.

This ... this ... this ... what kind of joke is this? You XiaoMo is roaring with anger inside. How
wrong he was. It's really like he said. Someone capable of writing the manuscript this way, it's
probably only him alone in the whole Long Xiao continent.

The exuberant Ling Xiao sees You XiaoMo gets all stiff, so he asks kindheartedly: "Little brother,
how is it?"

You XiaoMo lifts up his head, trying his best to appear calm and composed, "Elder brother Lin,
this ....... I still don't understand."

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes, looking back and forth between the expression on his face and the
manuscript in his hands, finally settling on his face. He suddenly takes back the manuscript and scoffs,
"I haven't written in a long time, and also, the characters I use don't seem to be the same as
what you know, and you still want me to show consideration for your feelings? Since you don't
understand, then you don't need it. I'll personally translate it verbally to you word for word."

You XiaoMo shudders, he feels that he has made a mistake. If Ling Xiao is going to translate it
verbally for him, doesn't that mean that for a short while they would have to be together day and
night? But after one morning, You XiaoMo finally gets a taste of sweetness.

Ling Xiao personally translating it verbally for him is indeed better than him learning on his own
by reading. At the least, he will explain things to him when he encounters the occasional things that he
doesn't understand. Although there are occasional unkind words, in the end, the benefit he derives is
still significant.

[Heavenly Soul Scroll] is a high level alchemical technique, one of the best among other
alchemical techniques. Otherwise, the only top level mage Qiu Ran would not have issued such a high
reward. This underlines the prized nature of the [Heavenly Soul Scroll].

The [Heavenly Soul Scroll] is divided into six core levels. The first three levels are
comparatively easy to practice. The last three are extremely hard to practice. Although there are only
six levels, less than that of other alchemical techniques, but with the breakthrough of each level, the
benefit cannot be conveyed in just a few words.
The success that the top level mage Qiu Ran has today can't be separated from his innate talent, but
if he didn't have that [Heavenly Soul Scroll], he would need several hundred years to achieve the
same level of success. So much so that it would be a thousand years later before he succeeds.

The contents of [Heavenly Soul Scroll] is definitely not much. It's called a book but it actually
only has some ten pages. But after translating these ten pages, the content is still obscure and hard to
understand. You XiaoMo, as a modern age man of the 21st century is used to the straightforward
meaning portrayed by simplified characters. If Ling Xiao doesn't explain it to him, he simply won't be
able to understand. This type of 'inborn' defect was mocked by Ling Xiao many times.

Just like this, the whole morning passes with them in teacher and student mode. You XiaoMo
thought that Ling Xiao would again go to the Earth peak canteen for lunch, completely aware of his
doomed fate. But instead Ling Xiao just suddenly disappears after saying he will be back tomorrow.

You XiaoMo is surprised by his sudden move, but a second later he learns the reason because there
is a *kou kou* at the door. Elder brother Fang ChenLe's voice comes in from outside.

"Little brother XiaoMo, are you there?"

You XiaoMo quickly answers him and immediately keeps the book before going over to open the
door.

Fang ChenLe stands at door but doesn't enter. Seeing him, he smiles warmly and says: "Little
brother, Master sent me to ask you to go over."

"Why ....... does he want to see me?" You XiaoMo is stunned, it is a while before he remembers
which Master he is referring to. Elder brother's Master is the one in charge of Earth peak, Kong Wen.
But ever since the disciple picking event at the Hall of Mages, he has not seen Kong Wen again.
Furthermore, he doesn't even know if he is considered his disciple or not at this time. Wanting to meet
him is really unexpected.

"This ah, you'll know when you get there." Fang ChenLe sees that he is hesitant but doesn't give
him any explanation, instead leaving him with a mysterious answer.

One of the higher ups wants to see him. Even if it is not Kong Wen, he would still have to go. You
XiaoMo doesn't question any further. He nods showing that he understands and returns to the room to
straighten out a little before following him on the way.

Although Earth peak is firmly oppressed by Heaven peak and Flying peak, that doesn't have any
effect on Kong Wen's status. This is because he is one of the three mages able to refine level nine
magic pills. Although the success rate is not high, it is still something that can't be belittled. So even
though Heaven peak is always oppressing Earth peak, they don't dare to issue a deadly blow because
it will only lead to the ire of the Grand Master and the Elders, the losses clearly outweighing the
gains.

Such a powerful man wanting to meet him today really leaves You XiaoMo a little unsettled. All
the disciples of Earth peak know that Kong Wen has been refining magic pills in seclusion all along.
Now, the minute he comes out of seclusion he calls for him. He must have heard of the matter
regarding him and Ling Xiao. If it is something good, then that would a different thing altogether, but
You XiaoMo's greatest fear is that it's something bad!

Fang ChenLe quickly leads him to Kong Wen's compound. Because his status is different, he has his
own compound. Before they could enter, Kong Wen seems to sense their approach, simply inviting
them to come in.

"Come on in!"

Chapter 38

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Formal disciple.You XiaoMo enters behind Fang ChenLe. As they cross the courtyard, he sees a
few magic herb plots. Of course there are more magic herbs in the magic herb gardens, but You
XiaoMo stares at these because the magic herbs in the plots are all high level magic herbs.

These high level magic herbs are those above level six. He read about them before so he
recognizes them. But usually these are only needed by high level mages because low level and mid
level mages are restricted by their level. Even if they have high level magic herbs, they are unable to
refine any magic pills. But these high level magic herbs are only at the seedling stage, a long way
from maturing.

Upon entering, Fang ChenLe doesn't bring him to Kong Wen's room, but walks towards the
backyard. After a few steps, a figure in blue is visible. That person has his back towards them,
squatting next to a magic herb plot. He seems to be fiddling with some magic herb.

You XiaoMo freezes for a moment. This person is Kong Wen but he clearly heard his voice coming
from inside the room just a moment ago.

"Master, I've brought him." Fang ChenLe says respectfully to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man wipes his hands and gets up. He turns around saying: "ChenLe, go ahead
and help Master infuse a pot of tea. I have some things to discuss with your Little brother."

Fang ChenLe happily agrees. Before leaving he surreptitiously winks at You XiaoMo and mouths
the word 'Congratulations'. You XiaoMo is puzzled. Why would Elder brother congratulate him?

"Do you know what this magic herb is?"

After Fang ChenLe leaves, Kong Wen again turns towards the plot of magic herbs behind him. The
first thing he asks is related to magic herbs.

Although he did not call him by name, You XiaoMo knows that he is the one being asked. That's
because he is the only one here. He cranes his neck to look at the magic herb at Kong Wen's feet.
Luckily he has seen this magic herb in the books. After some thought, he names it.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the level seven magic herb, Goldthorn herb."

Goldthorn herb is just like its name implies. No matter the leaves or stems, they all appear golden.
Every time the sun shines, the radiance of the goldthorn herb is very dazzling. Usually one would not
be able to look directly at it at this time. But it is also the best time to identify the goldthorn herb.

Luckily for You XiaoMo, he has been reading a lot these few days. Although there are not many
level seven magic herbs in the books, there are simple descriptions of their characteristics. So with
one look, You XiaoMo is able to identify it. As far as he knows, one that glitters so brightly is the
goldthorn herb. Furthermore, since Kong Wen is a high level mage, his courtyard is mostly planted
with high level magic herbs. Just like those few magic herb plots he saw when he came in. Putting
these two things together, he guesses that it must be the goldthorn herb.

Kong Wen nods in apparent satisfaction, "Not bad, even though you only entered the sect for less
than a month, but you can already recognize the goldthorn herb. That's not easy. Furthermore,
Master has already heard from Uncle Zhao from the Hall of Enchanted Herbs. He says that you
are very diligent in refining magic pills. Even though your inborn talent is lacking, you have the
will to improve. So Master has decided to receive you as a formal disciple!"

You XiaoMo is temporarily giddy from having being hit by the golden goose that fell from the sky.
Kong Wen wants to accept him as a formal disciple? No wonder Elder brother congratulated him
before leaving. Looks like this is the reason.

"What is it? Are you not willing?" Kong Wen asks seeing that he doesn't respond for a long time.

You XiaoMo immediately comes back to his senses, stammering: "Willing, disciple is willing.
Mas ______ honorable Master, please accept this one disciple!"

Saying this he kneels down and gives Kong Wen a proper kowtow banging his head on the ground.
Of course he's just copying what he has seen on TV.

Kong Wen doesn't stop him, fully feeling that he deserves this act of respect. He later allows him to
stand up, "Master has six other disciples below me. From today onwards, you will be number
seven. They are all your seniors. The one that brought you here today is your Elder brother Fang
ChenLe. I trust you already know each other. Later he will bring you to meet the other five
disciples."

"Yes, Master!" You Xiao replies respectfully.

After that, Kong Wen says a few words. The usual things that he should pay attention to. From start
to finish, he doesn't bring up the matter between him and Ling Xiao. As if the only reason he called
him over was to accept him as a formal disciple.

When it is about the Wei period, that is to say 1 pm, Kong Wen finally lets them leave. Fang
ChenLe simply brings You XiaoMo to the canteen. Although it is a little late, the cook would usually
leave some food for Fang ChenLe. Because he knew that they would be late, Fang ChenLe told the
cook to leave aside a little more this time.

After lunch, Fang ChenLe brings him to meet a few of the other disciples. Being able to become a
disciple of Kong Wen is a matter of intense pride in Earth peak. Kong Wen is a high level mage, one
of the top in the Mage division. He has the highest power in the whole of Earth peak. Even though
Earth peak is ranked last among the three peaks, there are still a lot of people that want to be his
disciple. Although there are so many disciples in Earth peak, only six can be considered Kong Wen's
disciples. So that means that it's not easy to become Kong Wen's disciple.

A good master can steer oneself to the right direction, cutting down the number of detours. You
XiaoMo didn't think that a high level mage like Kong Wen would accept his as a disciple. So he never
had such extravagant hopes. He had only thought that if no one is willing to accept him as a disciple,
he would just learn everything from books. Who would have guessed that such good news would
come crashing down on him. Although happy, You XiaoMo is still a little uncertain. Why would Kong
Wen accept him as a disciple? He believes that it can't be just because he is diligent. There must be
some other reason but he can't figure it out. So it's best to drop it. After all, being a disciple of Kong
Wen will only bring him more good than harm.

Kong Wen has six disciples. Among them is Fifth brother Zhao DaZhou nad Third brother Wu Yan
both of which he has met before. Zhao DaZhou is the one he met on the way to the canteen before.
When he was following behind a group of people. It's also that Big brother Zhao that let him know
that one must have connections with the higher ups in order to get good work assignments. That was
what made him give up that idea. But this Big brother Zhao has always had connections since young.
He is the son of Uncle Zhao who is in charge of the Hall of Enchanted Herbs. His nature is
completely different from that of Uncle Zhao. He is rather fond of showing off but his basic character
is definitely not bad. Otherwise, Kong Wen would not have accepted him as a disciple.

As for Third brother Wu Yan, he is the one that was there when he first tried refining magic pills.
He was the one Elder brother asked to look after them. A very amiable and patient big brother. Then
there is Fourth sister Nan GongYing and Sixth brother Mao Can. Elder brother brings him to meet all
four of them one by one.

Hearing that Master accepted a disciple right after coming out of seclusion, all four of them were
very surprised, especially Zhou DaZhou. However, they didn't show an extreme reaction since Elder
brother is personally bringing him around so Master must have already accepted him as a disciple. If
Zhou DaZhou had not give him a thinly veiled appraising look, You XiaoMo would have been quite
pleased with this trip.

As for the Second brother Fu ZiLin, You XiaoMo doesn't get the chance to meet him. According to
Elder brother, he went down the mountain a few days ago to look for a magic herb. Furthermore, this
Second brother has a completely different character than the rest of them. Referred to as a Little
genius, Fu ZiLin is actually someone with an poker face, also falling into the class of people that are
habitually silent. Among the disciples, the only one that is used to his nature is Elder brother Fang
ChenLe. Furthermore, Elder brother is the only one that can talk to him. If others we to talk to him,
they would be ignored. So it seems that Fu ZiLin doesn't have many friends even though he is a little
genius when it comes to refining magic pills.

When You XiaoMo reaches back to his room, the sun is about two hours away from setting.
Because he spent the whole morning with Ling Xiao practicing [Heavenly Soul Scroll] in the room,
and then going to meet Kong Wen, and then going around to meet the other disciples, it took up a lot of
time. As a result, he hasn't refined a single magic pill today. Thinking that Ling Xiao may be back at
any time to collect magic pills, You XiaoMo rushes to bring out his cauldron and prepares to refine
magic pills as soon as he returns to the room.
This time refining magic pills is not the same as before because he has already practiced
[Heavenly Soul Scroll]. Ling Xiao had told him that he can make use of [Heavenly Soul Scroll] at
any time, especially when refining magic pills.

Because it is necessary to stimulate the soul force when refining magic pills, from ample to
lacking, from lacking to ample, an unending cycle of consumption and recovery, making use of
[Heavenly Soul Scroll] alchemical techniques, one can continuously challenge the limits of the soul
force. This way one can achieve a breakthrough and increase the soul force at the same time.

Because he had already tried it out a few times in the morning, You XiaoMo easily gets the
[Heavenly Soul Scroll] alchemical technique to resonate with his soul force. In this way, he can
achieve twice the result with half the effort. Because of this, You XiaoMo purposely slows down his
speed in order to avoid making any mistakes.

As a result, by the time the sun sets, You XiaoMo only refined ten magic pills. Even then, he is so
tired and covered in sweat that he can hardly lift any of his fingers. Luckily there is the magical lake
water. After drinking half a bottle and taking a short rest, You XiaoMo continues.

Originally worried that Ling Xiao would come over and criticize him for not having the magic pills
ready, You XiaoMo was on edge for over two hours. In the end, waiting until the middle of the night,
when most people have fallen asleep, there is still no sign of Ling Xiao .......

Chapter 39

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Lecture at the Skylark Hall.The next day, You XiaoMo heads to the Skylark Hall. Skylark Hall is
where a few high level mages will give lectures. Usually about once a month. This month is Kong
Wen's turn. Yesterday, before leaving, Elder brother told him about this, stressing that he has to go no
matter what he has going on.

Yesterday, Kong Wen accepted him as a disciple. But the people who know this are few. So Kong
Wen plans to make use of this occasion to introduce You XiaoMo to the whole Earth peak because
lectures from high level mages are always a packed affair, gathering many more times the usual
number of people.

In order to not be late, You XiaoMo sets out ahead of time. Because this is his first time going to
Skylark Hall, and because he is unlike the other disciples, frequently asking around for information,
until now he actually has no idea that Earth peak has a Skylark Hall. So by the time he arrives at the
Skylark Hall, all the seagrass floor cushions seems to be already occupied. A dense mass of heads.
Because it is not yet time, everyone is busy chatting. All the whispers added together makes it seem
like a vegetable market.

You XiaoMo stands at the entrance and looks inside, trying to look for Elder brother. Instead he
sees someone right at the front stand up, turn around, and wave to him.

"Little brother, over here!"

The person waving at him is Fang ChenLe. He has been waiting for this little brother for a long
time. He coincidentally caught sight of this little brother craning his neck looking all over with knitted
brows and anxious face. He can't help but find it amusing. Knowing that it is his first time here, so he
probably doesn't know how to make head or tail out of anything, he decides to call out to him. But the
whole Skylark Hall quiets down at Fang ChenLe's voice.

Rows of heads turn around at once, immediately catching sight of You XiaoMo standing at the door.
Quite a few people immediately recognize him, some even to the extent of exclaiming out loud.

"Yi, isn't he the one who ate together with the Warrior division's Lin Xiao at the canteen?
Why is he also so familiar with Elder brother Fang?"

You XiaoMo feels the burning stares from all sides, only able to quicken his pace towards Fang
ChenLe. The whispering start up again except that it is louder than before. Because Fang ChenLe had
told the few disciples in the know to not reveal that You XiaoMo had been accepted as Kong Wen's
disciple, most people still do not know about this. Otherwise, it would be even more shocking.

Fang ChenLe had already guessed that he would not be able to find a seat, so he reserved one for
him beforehand. Walking over, You XiaoMo sees an empty seat next to Fang ChenLe. The other four
disciples are seated at his side, in the same row.

After thanking Elder brother, and greeting the other disciples, You XiaoMo puts on a blank face and
sits down. He suddenly realizes that although he has always wanted to keep a low profile, the people
he knows always make him appear in a high profile way in front of everybody, leaving a high profile
image in everyone's mind. He really doesn't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing!

Kong Wen finally arrives fifteen minutes later. Dressed in the usual simple blue robe with a white
jade hairpin on his head. Definitely not particularly eye-catching but he still radiates the imposing
manner or a superior man. Most people would feel the urge to lower their head upon seeing him.
Following his arrival the whole Skylark Hall quiets down. So silent that the sound of a needle falling
on the floor would be heard.

Today he doesn't launch straight into the lecture as he usually does. Instead he starts by introducing
someone to everyone. This person is the one that had just been deeply scrutinized by everyone, You
XiaoMo. Once they hear that he has been accepted as the seventh disciple of Kong Wen, all the
disciples seated on the seagrass floor cushions erupt loudy *hua*.

"Master Kong actually accepted a disciple, when did this happen?"

"This You XiaoMo is really something. A few days before, he became the talk of the town with
the Warrior division Lin Xiao. And in just a few days, he actually succeeded in becoming Master
Kong's disciple. Really too much!"

"Really, what is his background? Why do all the big shots in TianXin sect want to associate
with him?"

"I heard that his inborn talent is nothing to shout about. Why would Master Kong accept him
as a disciple?"

"Can it be that this is what they call nepotism?"

..........

Many people start questioning one after another. A few days ago, when he got involved with Lin
Xiao, some people already started to investigate him. As a result they found out that his inborn talent
is nothing much. Not too long ago at the Hall of Mages, he definitely wasn't selected by Heaven peak
or Flying peak. In the end, he was accepted into Earth peak by Master Kong, but Master Kong did not
immediately make him his disciple. If his talent is that good, Master Kong would have definitely
accepted him on the spot. But he did not. Now when they hear this news, most of them will think of
his good relationship with Lin Xiao.

Although the Mage division is essential to TianXin sect, the Warrior division is also something it
can't do without. TianXin sect is able to become the number one sect because of its Warrior division.
If you want to describe the role of the Mage division, then one could say that it plays more of a
management role.
Lin Xiao, who is the number one among the younger generation in the Warrior division, has a high
chance of becoming the next Grand Master. So, if Master Kong were to say some nice things about
You XiaoMo, it is possible that he may gain some favors.

"Silence!" Kong Wen says calmly. Everyone immediately seals their mouths. Heavy breathing can
be heard throughout Skylark Hall. It's obvious that everyone is worked up over this, maybe even
furious that You XiaoMo succeeded in becoming Kong Wen's disciple. Anyway, a mixture of
admiring, jealous, and hateful glares once again fall on You XiaoMo, and not for the first time.

You XiaoMo can only pull in his head. Seeing his tortoise-like behavior, Fang ChenLe who is
sitting next to him can only find it very funny. This little brother is always giving him an uncommon
'pleasant surprise'.

Everyone had thought that Kong Wen will say something about this matter but he does not. Instead
he acts as if he doesn't hear anything can carries on as if nothing happened.

The main topic he wants to cover today is his insights on refining magic pills. With him being a
high level mage, his experience refining magic pills is rich and valuable. If you were to miss it, don't
think of hearing it again because he will not talk about this topic again.

You XiaoMo who was hopelessly uncomfortable soon becomes transfixed. Although Kong Wen is
talking about mid-level magic pills, not something that he can engage in for the moment, he still can
listen and prepare beforehand. The lecture lasts for two hours. You XiaoMo looks on with a face that
shows he doesn't want it to end. Right up to the point Kong Wen declares the lecture over, You
XiaoMo is still transfixed. As a result, Fang ChenLe has to call him back to his senses.

"Little brother, how long do you intend to continue sitting here?"

"Ah?" You XiaoMo suddenly wakes up. He sees Elder brother looking at him with a teasing
smile, and soon realizes that both of them are the only ones left in Skylark Hall. He immediately
scrambles to stand up awkwardly.

Fang ChenLe doesn't continue teasing him. Instead he asks kindheartedly if he understands what
Master was talking about. And if he doesn't, then he can always look for him anytime.

You XiaoMo thanks him and parts ways with him upon leaving Skylark Hall. But when he returns
to his room, he finds that there is someone he doesn't recognize standing by the door. That person
seems to be waiting for him. His expression is coldly indifferent, it could be just his nature or it could
be due to something else. Upon seeing him, he asks immediately without any words of greeting.

"Are you You XiaoMo?"

Chapter 40

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Four days.You XiaoMo doesn't know who he is so he just nods his head.

That person also doesn't beat around the bush, "Lin Xiao asked me to get a message to you.
These few days he is out on assignment. He will look for you when he gets back. So you don't
have to worry!"

You XiaoMo blushes. He understands the first part but what does the last part mean? What not to
worry? When did he worry about that fellow? Simply making something out of nothing.

Not waiting for him to speak, that person continues speaking.

"And also, he wants you to prepare the quantity for these five days. When the time comes, he
will come to collect them altogether. So you should not be lazy."

So this is the important point ba! You XiaoMo can't help but roll his eyes. He doesn't need to be
told that. Especially since he has never been lazy. On top of that, he is now Kong Wen's disciple. If he
were to make his Master lose face, it wouldn't be good for him.

"I understand. Thank you for coming over." Inwardly cursing over and over, You XiaoMo still
politely thanks him.

That person gives him a look. A handsome face that is as cold as ice. He says flatly: "You don't
have to thank me. Elder brother asked me to come. I did not come here especially for you.
Furthermore, even though I don't know what kind of agreement you have with Elder brother, I
hope you will stay far away from Elder brother. Being together with him will bring you no
good."

Soulmate na. You XiaoMo almost rushes over to grasp his hand. Ling Xiao that scum. Getting
involved with him not only does him no good, he also gets bossed around. Not even a bit of personal
freedom.

It's too bad he can't tell this young man that Ling Xiao is already not the Elder brother you know.
He is only an imitation, nothing more. So the one that will not benefit from being together with Ling
Xiao includes him as well. But this is the first time someone so kindly warns him about getting near to
Ling Xiao. It's also the first time someone looks at him without judgement. You XiaoMo can tell that
this person is simply warning him. There is no sign of contempt or disdain unlike the others.

Thinking of this, You XiaoMo smiles at him, saying earnestly: "Thank you for your sincere
advice!"

That person clearly did not expect that he would thank him so sincerely, so he is momentarily
stunned. Normally wouldn't someone get angry when they hear this? But he doesn't plan to ask him
this. He just looks at him carefully for a moment before leaving. This person seems to be different
from those who have approached him or Elder brother before!

After closing the door, You XiaoMo jumps in excitement. Thinking of how he won't have to see
Ling Xiao for some time, he feels especially good. Furthermore he is full of enthusiasm from listening
to Master Kong Wen for two hours so he is full of energy. Taking out the cauldron, and with the
remaining magic herbs from yesterday, You XiaoMo starts to refine magic pills in high spirits.

Since he doesn't know how long Ling Xiao will be away, You XiaoMo decides to store up two
days worth. This will save him from trouble if Ling Xiao suddenly comes back.

Maybe it's due to his good mood, or maybe because good things have been happening to him in a
row, You XiaoMo's speed in refining magic pills is faster than yesterday. Before, he could only refine
ten relatively good quality level one magic pills in two hours. Now he can refine fifteen.

Furthermore, You XiaoMo discovers that his soul force is stronger than yesterday. Even though it is
not very obvious, it is still noticeable. Looks like this is the difference between having and not having
alchemical techniques.

Previously, he refined magic pills non-stop, at least a hundred pills every day, and yet there seems
to be no change in the strength of his soul force. Or maybe the change was too negligible. But now
with just one day practicing the alchemical technique, there is significant advancement in his soul
force. No wonder TianXin sect keeps its alchemical techniques under wraps. It turns out that
alchemical techniques have this much power.

But what You XiaoMo doesn't know, is that if [Heavenly Soul Scroll] is only a common
alchemical technique, his advancement wouldn't be so obvious. For example, the alchemical
technique that TianXin sect has. Even though it is so closely guarded, it is actually only a low level
alchemical technique. Simply not on the same level as [Heavenly Soul Scroll] whatsoever. If You
XiaoMo could compare them, only then would he know how incredible his advancement is.

But the reason why the progress is so obvious only after one day is because each alchemical
technique is not too difficult in the beginning. But it gets harder as one progresses, so the following
advancement may not be so obvious for You XiaoMo.

Due to the increase in his soul force, his speed also increases. So You XiaoMo quickly uses up the
remaining magic herbs. All of it was for Ling Xiao's share. He then goes to the Hall of Enchanted
Herbs to take one thousand and two hundred stalks of magic herbs.

At this time, the fact that he has been accepted as the seventh disciple by Kong Wen has already
spread throughout Earth peak, and actually throughout the whole Mage division.

He could be mistaken but You XiaoMo feels that Uncle Zhao is looking at him with a friendlier
smile. As if he had become family overnight. Furthermore, he doesn't hesitate at all when he asks for
one thousand and two hundred stalks of magic herbs.
He could basically figure out the reason. Because his son, Zhao DaZhou and him are now disciples
under the same Master, much like sitting on the same boat. So a change in attitude is only to be
expected. But the change in attitude is not only with Uncle Zhao alone. There are also other disciples,
the few he met along the way. Those few people will smile and greet him as if their shunning attitude
before yesterday was all an illusion.

Of course, status is just like how boats rises with a surge in the tides. Other people will start to
treat you better. Such is the cruel reality of humankind! Luckily You XiaoMo is not someone who
cares about these things. If not, he would be really depressed. They are all clearly disciples of the
same group. It's bad enough that they are not committed to refining magic pills to surpass Heaven and
Flying peak. On top of that, they scheme and plot against each other.

On the way back there were a few disciples that wanted to talk to him but You XiaoMo pretends
that he doesn't notice them. He hugs the big pile of magic herbs and rushes back to his room. He then
starts the dry and dull process of refining magic pills. During that time, no one came to disturb him,
including Fang ChenLe that had originally planned on coming over to find him. But he found out from
Uncle Zhao that he had asked for such a large amount of magic herbs so he just dismisses the idea
while laughing. Such a hardworking little brother. Looks like the Master has good judgement.

Four days later, You XiaoMo finally comes out of the room sporting two black eyebags. The sun
that has not been seen for so long, wu, too dazzling. Four days earlier, his surging spirits resulted in
him not taking one step out of his room.

But it is worth it because he refined a heap of magic pills. Especially one of them, called the
Fasting magic pill. Like its name, with this pill, you can stop worrying about feeling hungry or thirsty,
but only for a short period of time. For example, the Fasting magic pill that he refined is only
effective for not more than ten days.

Fasting magic pill is a level one magic pill, so its effect cannot be too great. There is no risk in
taking the fasting magic pill, but the higher the grade, the longer the effect. So You XiaoMo
continually improves the distillation of the magic herbs and finally refines a highly effective Fasting
magic pill. It lasts for half a month, and could be considered to be the best among low grade Fasting
magic pills. It must be said that ordinary low grade Fasting magic pill would only last for five days.
For longer periods one has to look to mid or high grade magic pills. It is said that the best mid-level
magic pill can last for half a year and the best top level magic pill can last for ten years although it's
not clear if that's the truth.

Be that as it may, You XiaoMo only refined twenty Fasting magic pills. First of all, he is an
earthling. Used to eating three times a day. If he doesn't eat, it would feel a little strange. Secondly, he
is not familiar with the Fasting magic pill. Furthermore he doesn't need to frequently go into
seclusion. After thinking it over, he decides to only refine twenty.

In addition, he also refined a huge pile of other magic pills. Other than those for Ling Xiao and the
Hall of Enchanted Herbs, he refined one hundred pills for himself. So he decides that he would go
down the mountain once more. This time it is again to exchange magic pills for money. He wants to
buy more magic herb seeds, especially level one magic herb seeds. If nothing unexpected happens, he
would be needing much more magic herb seeds in the future.

"Little brother, finally willing to come out after four days of seclusion?"

At the Hall of Enchanted Herbs, just when You XiaoMo is about the take out the magic pills from
his magic bag to hand over to Uncle Zhao, he hears a somewhat joking gentle voice from behind him.
You XiaoMo turns around and sees that it is Elder brother Fang ChenLe. He also just came out from
inside, coincidentally catching sight of him so he comes over. Since they now share the same Master,
their conversation manner also becomes more familiar. You XiaoMo has always had a good
impression of this Elder brother. Other than Ling Xiao, he is more at ease with Fang ChenLe than with
Kong Wen.

"Elder brother." You XiaoMo hands over the magic pills to Uncle Zhao and then walks up to him.

"Seclusion for four days and your condition seems to be better than ever."

Fang ChenLe sees that he is full of energy with a rosy complexion so he can't help but feel a little
surprised. Not at all like someone who has been seclusion for four days. How could he know that
during those four days in seclusion, You XiaoMo had drank quite a lot of lake water.

You XiaoMo also can't tell him that, so he can only rub his own head and laugh stupidly.

Just at this time, a somewhat cold voice calls out behind him.

"You XiaoMo, looks like you're having a fine time when I'm not around ma!"

Chapter 41

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Jealousy.From the sound of his voice, You XiaoMo immediately knows who it is. Turning around,
he sees the familiar figure. He is finally back after being away for four days. Furthermore, from the
look of it, it seems like he came right over after coming back. Looks like he really can't wait for the
one hundred magic pills.

You XiaoMo doesn't notice his displeased tone. He walks up to him and asks casually:" Elder
brother Ling, you've finally come back. Last time someone came over to tell me that you were
going on an assignment. That person must be your younger disciple ba?"

Saying this, he takes out two small bottles from his bag. Just when he is about to hand them over,
Fang ChenLe walks over to them.

"You are the warrior division brother Lin Xiao ba. How do you do? I am Fang ChenLe.
Pleased to meet you."

Ling Xiao calmly narrows his eyes. Under his scrutiny, Fang ChenLe actually smiles very freely. Of
course this is when there is no pressure. If Ling Xiao were to emit his power, even a hundred Fang
ChenLe wouldn't be able to withstand it.

You XiaoMo realizes that he has yet to introduce them to each other, "Elder brother Ling, this is
my Elder brother Fang ChenLe."

After a brief frown, Ling Xiao puts on an earnest look, saying like the spring breeze: "How do you
do? I had long heard Little brother XiaoMo talk about you. Meeting you now, it's clear why you
are the outstanding disciple of Earth peak. I heard that you are already a level four mage at
such a young age. How admirable!"

"Not so. Lin brother is exaggerating. The number one talent of the Warrior division. I should
be the one to admire you." Fang ChenLe smiles while nodding.

Even though he feels that the Lin Xiao in front of him now is different from what he has heard,
since this is the first time meeting him face to face, there is no way for him to bring it up.

You XiaoMo had long grown accustomed to the phoniness of Ling Xiao, changing faces at the drop
of a hat and such. But this skill, he didn't expect. Meeting for the first time, these two are praising
each other. You praise me once. I praise you once. Neither willing to fall behind.

In the end, it is Fang ChenLe that stops the conversation saying that he has something to do before
leaving.

Right after Fang ChenLe walks away, Ling Xiao gives You XiaoMo a cold look and huffs *hmph*
before turning around and walks off.

Getting huffed at for no reason, You XiaoMo is momentarily stunned. He quickly chases after him
and only catches up when they reach his room. Ling Xiao simply pushes open the door and walks in.
He sits on the chair stonily, not uttering a single word.

You XiaoMo has no idea why he is in such a bad mood. He closes the door before walking over.

"Elder brother Ling, did the assignment not go well?" You XiaoMo asks gingerly. Saying this,
he steals a peek at his face. Seriously black and forbidding. Who is the fool that angered him so? He
should know that this dude is very malicious. If he is to exact revenge, the other party would be better
off dead. As such, You XiaoMo's mind is filled with the ten greatest tortures of the Qing dynasty. Of
course, he has no idea that the fool in question is himself.

"When I act, do you think that there is anything that I can't do?"

Hearing him bring up the assignment, Ling Xiao scoffs indignantly.

"Since the mission was successful, why are you angry?" You XiaoMo asks curiously.

Seeing that he has no idea, Ling Xiao puts on a black face. Just when he is about to open his mouth,
You XiaoMo suddenly cries out.

"Ah, I know." After exclaiming, he immediately places two bottles in his hands, "Elder brother
Ling, I remembered what your disciple said. These are five days worth of magic pills. I already
refined them. Would you like to count them?"

"You XiaoMo!" Ling Xiao suddenly calls his name softly.

"Here!" With a start, You XiaoMo unconsciously raises his hand, as if giving his commanding
officer a salute.

Seeing his sudden strange reaction, Ling Xiao almost loses his straight face. But thinking about the
scene he just witnessed at the Hall of Enchanted Herbs, the flames of anger fire up again. Although in
a bad mood, he doesn't reveal it on his face, actually slightly smiling while saying: "Seems you have
quite a good relationship with that Fang ChenLe. Laughing stupidly at him. Are you worried
that you're not stupid enough?"

The topic of conversation switches so quickly, You XiaoMo is almost unable to keep up. Hearing
him bring up Elder brother, he thinks nothing of it and says: "Oh, you mean Elder brother ah. We
are now disciples under the same Master so our relationship is now a little closer. Four days
ago, the day that you left, Master Kong Wen called me over and accepted me as his disciple.
Elder brother is Master's eldest disciple. So we can now be considered as disciples of the same
line."

But what does him smiling at Elder brother has to do with his brain? Furthermore, he is also not
stupid!

Kong Wen? At once Ling Xiao knows who this Kong Wen is. The highest person in charge of Earth
peak. Speaking of which, Fang ChenLe is indeed Kong Wen's eldest disciple. This bit is stored in Lin
Xiao's memory.

Originally, Lin Xiao and Fang ChenLe do not have contact with each other. It wouldn't be strange if
he didn't know him but since Lin Xiao is a man of ambition, he had long ago investigated the
outstanding disciples of the three peaks. Although not completely clear about their situations, he still
knows a thing or two about them. But _______

"Even if you are brothers, you should not get too close. Your innate talent is so lacking, Kong
Wen must have some ulterior motive in accepting you."

"Oh." You XiaoMo answers him dejectedly. Even though he has low innate talent, there is no need
to keep reminding him ma!

"Such a weak answer, did you not have breakfast today?"

"Ah, right." After speaking, he rubs his tummy. Not eating for several days, he is really not quite
used to this.

"......."

Consoling.After Ling Xiao leaves, You XiaoMo remembers that there is something he hasn't done.
Originally when he went to the Hall of Enchanted Herbs, other than handing over the magic pills to
Uncle Zhao, he also wanted to apply to go down the mountain with Big brother Wu Yan.

Each disciple is allowed to go down the mountain twice a month. You XiaoMo has one time left
this month. So he plans to use it up the day after tomorrow. Because it will be the next month in a few
days, if he were to go later, he would get one less chance. Because they are now disciples under the
same master, Big brother Wu Yan grants him permission without hesitation.

The next day, You XiaoMo tells this to Ling Xiao who had come to look for him.

Hearing that he wants to go down the mountain, Ling Xiao doesn't ask him what he plans to do. He
just beams at him saying, "Just nice. I also want to go down the mountain. We'll just go down the
mountain together tomorrow."

You XiaoMo really regrets telling him about it, "Didn't you just come back yesterday? Why
would you want to go down again?"

"That was an assignment from TianXin sect. Every month, the disciples from the warrior
division will go out for training. As an Elder brother, I have to look after them a little. If not
they might get killed off after a day or two. If it wasn't to avoid attracting suspicion from
TianXin sect, I wouldn't have gone. But ________ listening to your tone, could it be that you
don't want to go down the mountain with me?"

Ling Xiao doesn't hesitate to tell You XiaoMo about the assignment. Afterall, it is not a top secret
matter. But getting to the last point, his tone becomes threatening.

You XiaoMo hurriedly waves his hand, "No, no, you're thinking too much."

"Speaking of which, your mage division disciples will also be going for training soon."

Ling Xiao suddenly changes the topic to the mage division.

"Ah, oh, I just entered the sect less than a month ago. Outside training is probably not
something I have to think about for a while. Instead, there will be an entrance exam in five
months. That is rather troublesome. I heard that the passing requirement is refining a level two
magic pill. If not, one will be kicked out of TianXin sect."

Hearing Ling Xiao bring up the experience training, You XiaoMo recalls the entrance exam. He has
now refined twenty over types of level one magic pills. But he still has not refined a level two magic
pill so he is a little uncertain. However, since there are still five months left, he isn't too anxious. But
he will occasionally think about how he is now Kong Wen's disciple. If he were to fail the entrance
exam, wouldn't that cause people to make fun of his master and brothers?

Hearing his words that lack confidence, Ling Xiao laughs easily saying: "Little brother, I think
you're underestimating yourself ba."

You XiaoMo is stunned, not understanding the meaning of his words, "What do you mean?"

Ling Xiao crosses his legs. His actions quite elegant, not the least bit affected, as if this noble air is
part of his nature. No matter from which angle, one would feel that this is natural for him. He then lifts
up the teapot on the table and pours a cup of green tea. Because it has just been infused, it is still a
little hot. He takes a leisurely sip before speaking.

"[Heavenly Soul Scroll] is a high grade alchemical technique. The benefits it gives you can't
be compared to low grade alchemical techniques. If you practice it diligently, you wouldn't need
half a year to become a level two mage."

Actually you would be even stronger than mages of the same level. Of course, he didn't tell him
this.

"Really?" You XiaoMo lights up, especially that pair of gem-like eyes inlaid in his face, sparkling
brightly like crystals.

Ling Xiao glances at his overjoyed expression and immediately looks away calmly, "There is no
need to lie to you about this."

Regardless of whether Ling Xiao is trying to console him, You XiaoMo admits that his mood is
much improved. The pressure he felt inside is much less than before.

That's right, even though Ling Xiao is very evil, always attacking him, making fun of him,
disrespecting him, he is actually very good to him. Like the last time, knowing that he lacked
alchemical techniques, he found him one the next day. You XiaoMo doesn't say it but in his heart he is
actually very touched. Although it is most probably for the sake of magic pills.

Early next morning, Ling Xiao comes over to look for him as expected. Except that behind him are
two people that You XiaoMo are familiar with but can't wait to get away from.

Chapter 43

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Miscalculation.Walking in front is a young woman dressed in a set of pink traveling clothes whose
beauty and elegance is clear from afar. With smooth and glossy skin, an oval face like a goose egg,
paired with a pair of large and beautiful eyes. Along with gentle curves, she is simply a beauty that
moves people. An unrivaled beauty through and through. If her character was also as delightful as her
outward appearance, she would definitely be a well-loved super Mary Sue.

It's a pity that her character is completely unlike that of her outward appearance. As pretty as she
is, she is also somewhat crafty and wilful, ordering everyone around with just a tilt of her chin. This
beautiful young woman is none other than Tang YunQi, the daughter of TianXin sect's Grand Master.
She is also the most beautiful woman in TianXin sect. It is said that when she turned eighteen, quite a
few people came forward to ask for her hand. But Tang YunQi found none of them to her liking as her
heart is obviously fixed on Lin Xiao.

This bit is known by everyone in TianXin sect. Even You XiaoMo who has only met her two or
three times can tell. It only proves how clearly she shows it.

The other person is the disciple who was squeezed out to another winged-bird when You XiaoMo
and Ling Xiao sat on the same winged-bird the last time. This person has always looked at You
XiaoMo with hatred ever since the first time, as if he can't wait to peel off his skin. He is clearly still
brooding over what happened before.

Seeing You XiaoMo looking at those two, Ling Xiao remembers that those two are behind him.
Without waiting for You XiaoMo to ask, he simply explains: "Junior sister Tang and Junior
brother Li also happen to be on their way down the mountain. Knowing that I too will be going
down the mountain, the Grand Master asked me to bring them with me, so that I can also keep
an eye on them."

The corner of Ling Xiao's mouth start to curve upward upon mentioning the last bit. Looks like he
seems to be in a good mood.

You XiaoMo notices this act but his instinct tells him that Ling Xiao is not in a good mood so it's
better not to provoke him.

Speaking of which, yesterday he had just used this excuse. And now, someone else used this excuse
on him, what more a personal request of the Grand Master. There is simply no way to refuse. It would
only be strange if he is in a good mood.

Tang YunQi obviously did not expect that the person going down together with Ling Xiao would be
You XiaoMo. Upon seeing him, she asks bluntly: "Why is it you again?"

Well isn't that just how it is? He also doesn't wish to see her. It's just that sometimes 'ape shit' is
just like this. The more you don't want to see that person, the more likely it is that that person will
appear in front of you.

You XiaoMo smiles awkwardly, not giving her an answer.

Tang YunQi dislikes this disciple that had just entered the sect not too long ago. If not because of
him, she wouldn't have lost face in front of so many people the last time. If it wasn't because they are
in different peaks, she would have tormented him to death a long time ago.

Since it's only four of them this time, they simply choose a winged-bird that can seat five.
Unexpectedly, Tang YunQi objects. She is used to sitting on the big winged-birds so she feels that
sitting on a small bird is beneath her. But just a casual remark from Ling Xiao shuts her up.

"Since you don't want to sit on this winged-bird, you can just sit on another one with Junior
brother Chen."

You XiaoMo looks at Tang YunQi with both sympathy and glee. Still daring to provoke him at this
crucial moment. This Junior sister Tang is really brave!

Tang YunQi is worried that Elder brother will really chase her off onto another winged-bird so she
hastily denies: "There's no need for that Elder brother. Really ....... taking a small winged-bird is
actually good. I don't mind, really. Don't ask me to take another winged-bird."

Actually she wanted to sit on the large bird in order to separate You XiaoMo from Ling Xiao. What
she didn't expect is that the latter would instead chase them off.

"No no no, I should thank you for reminding me. Four people on a winged-bird is too
crowded. If something were to happen on the way and someone were to fall off, what would we
do? So, I have decided that you should sit on another winged-bird with Junior brother Chen ba.
A little more space is better." Ling Xiao beams while saying.

"Elder brother." Tang YunQi stamps her feet. Her anger distorts her mouth, but she still looks
pretty.

"Junior brother Chen, for this trip, I have to trouble you to take good care of Junior sister."

Ling Xiao doesn't care if he agrees. He dictatorially orders the Junior brother who is showing
some signs of delight.

For Tang YunQi, of course she doesn't want to be separated from Ling Xiao. But for Junior brother
Chen, he actually can't wait to share the same space with Junior sister. Therefore, Ling Xiao's
suggestion gives him a huge opportunity. He just doesn't let it show on his face.

In the end, Tang YunQi is still unable to change Ling Xiao's decision. She and Junior brother Chen
were chased onto another winged-bird. The latter very happy although his face only shows signs of
fury.
On the winged-bird, You XiaoMo secretly looks back at Tang YunQi, whose face is distorted in
anger. He then looks back at Ling Xiao who is mightily pleased with himself, with a face like the
spring breeze. Pouting, he is certain that Ling Xiao didn't think of this in the beginning. If Tang YunQi
didn't give him the inspiration, they would probably all be on the same winged-bird at this time. This
is what they call being a victim of one's own brilliance.

Notes:skin like congealed fat - smooth, soft, and glossy

melon seed face - oval face

Mary Sue - idealized character with extraordinary abilities

ape shit - homonym for fate

junior brother - somehow his name changed from Li to Chen

Chapter 44

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Separate ways.HePing town is just as lively as before, not much different from the last time.
Because he is now familiar with HePing town, You XiaoMo doesn't have to go one whole round, like
he did the last time, to find what he is looking for.

As for Tang YunQi and Brother Chen, they both actually have a reason to come down the mountain.
But it's not something big, just helping to get some tea leaves for Grand Master Tang. Grand Master
Tang is a tea lover. But he only likes to drink a type of tea known as immortal herb tea. Because the
yield for the immortal herb tea is very limited, even the biggest tea shop in HePing town would get
not even one jin of immortal herb tea each month. The tea shop owner knows that TianXin sect would
send someone over each month to buy some so he simply sets it aside waiting for them to come pick it
up.

And so arises a point of divergence. That tea shop is on East street whereas You XiaoMo wants to
go to North street to sell magic pills. Simply not on the same street.

You XiaoMo doesn't want them to know that he wants to go sell magic pills, so he proposes that
they split up. They go to East street while he goes to North street.

At first this suggestion is just what Tang YunQi wants. She can't wait to get You XiaoMo out of her
sight. But the problem is Ling Xiao. He chooses to go with You XiaoMo to North street leaving Tang
YunQi to go with Brother Chen to East street. They would meet up later at the largest restaurant on
West street. Tang YunQi is unwilling but she already experienced how Ling Xiao's words can't be
denied. Each time he makes up his mind, it can't be changed. Ling Xiao is someone that will do what
he says.

Looking on helplessly as You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao walk away one at the front, one following
behind, Tang YunQi restrains herself so much that her nails dig into her flesh to stop herself from
chasing after them. Chen GaoYang at her side although happy at having the opportunity to be alone
with Junior sister is still a little uneasy seeing how upset she is. Moreover, isn't this just the chance to
ingratiate himself Junior sister?

"Junior sister, don't be angry. That You XiaoMo, even though he is close to Elder brother, the
both of them, one in Earth peak, one in the Warrior division, they simply wouldn't be together
normally. Perhaps it won't be much longer before their relationship cools down."

Tang YunQi scoffs *hmph*, saying with a clouded face: "Not in the same division and Elder
brother still goes to see him everyday. Yesterday, as soon as Elder brother came back, he immediately
rushed over to Earth peak. Do you still think their relationship will cool down? I had already heard
that recently, Elder brother is always going over to Earth peak, almost certainly to see You XiaoMo.

"It looks like Elder brother really has his heart set on that You XiaoMo."
Chen GaoYang really has no idea just what is so good about You XiaoMo to warrant such attention
from Elder brother.

"Big brother Chen, do you have a way of teaching You XiaoMo a lesson?" Tang YunQi asks
hatefully.

"This ....... I'm afraid won't be easy. I heard that four days ago, Master Kong accepted him as
his own disciple."

Chen GaoYang looks uncomfortable as Tang YunQi sees his helpless expression. Inwardly calling
him a good for nothing, but what he says is not wrong. You XiaoMo is a disciple of Earth peak. And
Kong Wen's disciple on top of that. His current status is unique. If he was from Heaven peak or Flying
peak, she would have her ways of teaching him a lesson. But he just has to be from Earth peak. Earth
peak disciples dislike Heaven peak and it goes both ways.

Unable to find a solution, the two of them decide to leave it for now and first complete the task
from the Grand Master before discussing it further. They never expected that this trip to the West
street will almost cost them their lives.

On the other side, You XiaoMo doesn't take much time to find that medicine shop. Not sure if he is
mistaken, but You XiaoMo feels that the shopfront looks a little newer than before. As if it has been
renovated.

Before he even enters the shop, the shop assistant near the door shouts with glee towards the inside
of the shop, "Boss, that Master You is here!"

As soon as the words are out, the manager rushes out helter skelter, almost tripping on himself.
Seeing You XiaoMo, the manager immediately becomes excited, rushing over saying: "Master You,
you're finally here. I have been waiting for you for many days."

You XiaoMo goes 囧. What is going on?

After saying that, the shop manager realizes that he had lost control of himself. He quickly puts on a
smile and invites them in, at the same time telling the shop assistant to serve some tea.

"Master You, the magic pills you sold me the last time really exceeded my expectation. In less
than two days, they were completely sold out. Furthermore, customers have been coming non-
stop to ask about the next batch. But don't worry, I definitely did not say anything about you."

The shop manager uncharacteristically winks at You XiaoMo. Upon saying this, he notices Ling
Xiao who came with him, asking: "This distinguished guest is?"

Ling Xiao doesn't pay any attention to him, taking a sip of the tea that the shop assistant had brought
over.

You XiaoMo laughs awkwardly, "He is a friend of mine who came along with me. You don't
have to bother about him."

The manager immediately understands, and asks: "Master You, are you here to sell magic pills
again this time?"

"Yes."

You XiaoMo says while taking out the hundred magic pills he refined in the past few days. Five
bottles altogether. Each one containing twenty level one magic pills. These were all refined in those
four days. The quality is definitely better than ordinary level one magic pills.

The manager carefully picks up a bottle and opens the stopper. Immediately a strong medicinal
fragrance wafts out.

Notes:

jin - 500g

囧 - OMG

Chapter 45

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Bearded man.The magic pill transaction concludes without a hitch. Furthermore, the price for these
five bottles is even higher than the last time. Because the effect of the magic pill far exceeds that of
ordinary level one magic pills, a few customers have indicated that one after another that they are
willing to pay a high price after having tasted the sweetness. Although Long Xiao continent does not
lack level one magic pills, in fact, it is more like there is a flood of it bordering on disaster, there is
also an unending number of martial artists that have a need for magic pills. As long as there is a better
option, they would rather pay a little more.

The manager made use of the magic pills that You XiaoMo sold him the last time to boost his
reputation so the shop now looks completely different. But because he didn't know when You XiaoMo
would come again, he didn't dare to accept pre-orders. He only agreed to let them be the first to know
if more is available. Now, even though there are only one hundred magic pills, it is enough for the
shop manager.

Because the selling price for these magic pills has doubled, the manager kindly gives You XiaoMo
a higher price. In this way, this young man would most probably sell the magic pills to him ba. The
manager is operating based on this assumption. After all, there is money to be earned and on top of
that, the shop's reputation can be raised, who wouldn't want to do that ah? The only troublesome thing
is that the surrounding shops have started to enquire about the origin of these magic pills.

You XiaoMo leaves the shop perfectly content with the two thousand pieces of gold that the
manager had given him. This time the price for the magic pills increased by fifty percent. Fifteen gold
pieces for one magic pill. One thousand five hundred gold pieces for one hundred magic pills. Add to
that the ten over pieces of gold remaining from the last time, his entire wealth is more than that of a lot
of TianXin sect disciples. Even disciples from slightly wealthy backgrounds do not have this much.

Ling Xiao doesn't hinder his selling of magic pills. Seeing that the transaction is over, he leaves the
medicine shop together with You XiaoMo.

"Where to next?" Ling Xiao is not least bit impatient. His whole person is unreadable, not giving
away any sign of what he is thinking.

"Uh, Elder brother Ling, don't you also have something to take care of? If you keep following
me, wouldn't that hold up your business?"

You XiaoMo doesn't immediately answer his question. Instead he looks evasively in all directions,
everywhere except at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao smiles slightly, "There's no hold up. Furthermore, it is still early."

You XiaoMo is crestfallen. After this, he wants to go buy magic herb seeds. But he definitely does
not want Ling Xiao to go with him. Because usually only mages with medicine gardens will buy
magic herb seeds. As for him, a newly minted level one mage, there is no reason to buy so many
magic herb seeds. Obviously something is fishy. Someone as intelligent as Ling Xiao would definitely
be able to tell. So when the time comes, he will undoubtedly question him.

He had already predicted that Ling Xiao wouldn't abide by his wishes and leave. But he still
maintained a glimmer of hope. In the end, Ling Xiao follows him to South street where they sell magic
herbs.

South street is less lively than North street but there a still quite a lot of people. A few of them are
martial artists. Most of them are mages.

Orchid pavilion is the magic herb shop that You XiaoMo visited the last time. When You XiaoMo
walks over, the attendant that served him the last time seems to remember him. Seeing him come over,
he warmly receives him and invites him in, of course not forgetting Ling Xiao that is by his side. In
reality, the one that the attendant noticed right away was not You XiaoMo but Ling Xiao.

For someone like him that works on commission, judging people is important. With one glance, one
can tell that the luxuriantly dressed Ling Xiao is one of those privileged nobles with ten thousand
strings of coins in their money belt.

But because he is a previous customer, the attendant's attention falls mainly on You XiaoMo.
Hearing that he is here to buy more magic herb seeds, the attendant swiftly takes out fresh stocks that
just arrived a few days ago. Level one to level three. All the seeds are fresh and plump.

You XiaoMo thinks about the speed at which the magic herbs are growing in his dimension. He
also thinks about the considerable amount of money in his magic bag. This time he buys a lot of magic
herb seeds in one go. He buys a set of one thousand seed packets for level three. Two sets of one
thousand seed packets for level two. Altogether over eight hundred gold pieces. And so his money
bag shrinks by more than half. The good thing is the beaming attendant gifts him one set of five
hundred seed packets of level one magic herb seeds.

Upon leaving Orchid pavilion, You XiaoMo looks painfully at the money left in his magic bag.
There's only seven hundred or so left.

But _______ You XiaoMo steals a glance at Ling Xiao. Unexpectedly, he actually didn't ask him
why he bought magic herb seeds.

"Elder brother Ling, I have bought all the things I needed to buy. Now are we going to take care of
your things or are we going to meet up with Junior sister Tang and company at the rest house?

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes and looks at him. Staring at him until his scalp starts to feel numb
before saying leisurely: "Let's go to the rest house first ba. After all, those two were brought here
by me. If anything were to happen, it would be difficult for me to explain to the Grand Master."

Even though he puts it like that, You XiaoMo feels that there is no sign of the difficulty he
mentioned on his face.

Just as they were about to set out to West street, the crowd behind them suddenly bursts out noisily,
accompanied by a chaotic rush of footsteps.

You XiaoMo turns to take a look and sees a group of people rushing towards them. But the look on
their faces is not one of alarm but rather a look of curiosity after having heard some juicy news. This
type of expression is something You XiaoMo is used to seeing. The look of wanting to witness
something exciting.

The group of people rush past them towards East street. You XiaoMo is not interested and is about
to leave when he hears two street vendors chatting.

"I hear something is going down on East street."

"I heard it too. It seems there is again some conflict. The last time it was at West street. This
time it's at East street."

"Don't tell me it's the same group of people? They don't seem to think much of TianXin sect
ba. Although HePing is not inside the limits of TianXin sect, it is still under its influence. Who
is behind that group of people, actually daring to stir up trouble here?"

"Who knows. But it must be someone big. No one dares to provoke them. It's only that the
girls of HePing are now in a wretched situation."

"Exactly. The girls in my house are not allowed to go out, lest they encounter that group of
people."

"Haha, the girls from your house? There is still the question of whether they would be
interested."

"What do you mean ne?"

You XiaoMo's eyes pop out when he hears the last bit. If he isn't mistaken, Tang YunQi and that
Brother Chen seem to have gone to East street. Thinking of this, he immediately turns to Ling Xiao,
"Elder brother Ling, how about we go take a look at East street first?"

If it really is what he is thinking of, things are bound to go to hell. With Tang YunQi's character, the
situation can only get worse and worse.

Ling Xiao is not interested in finding out if the protagonist is Tang YunQi. He only feels that she
would bring him trouble. But since Tang YunQi is the daughter of the Grand Master, he can't just stand
aside. Only this makes him go along with You XiaoMo towards East street. South street is not very far
from East street. But even leaving now, it would take the time to brew two cups of tea to get there.
Who knows if in this short period of them, something irreversible would happen. Because of this,
Ling Xiao simply picks up You XiaoMo by his collar and walks to a corner.
When they reappear, the both of them are already at East street. You XiaoMo is all confused and
dizzy, basically having no clue of what just happened. Soon he is shocked back to his senses by a
shrill scream.

This familiar voice is something he can't forget even if he wants to. It's what comes out of Tang
YunQi's mouth. Turning towards the direction of the voice, You XiaoMo's pair of eyeballs almost pop
out of their sockets. His face flushes bright red, glancing left and right, not daring to look towards
Junior sister Tang again.

The Tang YunQi now, it is really unimaginable that they had parted ways not more than two hours
ago. The pink long robe is missing a huge piece of cloth revealing a pair of beautiful slender and fair
legs. The remaining piece of cloth barely covers her ample buttocks. The top part is even more tragic.
The material at the chest has been ripped open, vaguely revealing soft white breasts. Most probably
because she feels extremely ashamed and furious, the exposed skin is flushed pink. It can't be denied
that the Tang YunQi now is even more beautiful than before. Even more alluring.

All the men in the crowd are dumbstruck while the women are looking on in admiration, jealousy
and hate. A few of which are also gloating in her misfortune.

If there is anyone not moved by the beauty, there is most probably only Ling Xiao. His face can't be
any calmer. His gaze is definitely not like the others looking lecherously at the barely clothed Tang
YunQi. Instead, it is directed at the bearded man facing Tang YunQi, calmly narrowing his eyes. That
man is the one that attacked Tang YunQi, the lecher that tore her clothes to shreds. But he is definitely
not an ordinary lecher.

"Damn lecher. Disgracing me like this. Wait till my father finds out. He will definitely set a
thousand knives on you and hack you into ten thousand pieces."

Tang YunQi is so furious that it distorts her pretty face. The intense flames of hate in her eyes burns
fiercely. If looks could kill, the man in front of her would probably have died a million times over.

The man is not the least bit afraid of her threats, laughing out loud instead. Licking his lips lewdly
and wickedly, he says: "By the time your father finds out, I'm afraid it would already be too late
ba. By that time you will already be mine. I advise you to obediently yield to me. Perhaps the
great me would be pleased and treat you a little gentler."

"Evil lecher. My Elder brother is close by. If you dare to touch a single hair on my Junior
sister, my Elder brother will definitely not let you go."

Chen GaoYang who is lying on the floor says hatefully. Earlier, hearing this man humiliate Junior
sister, he had fought this man but was unable to beat him. If not, Junior sister would not be in such a
dire condition. On top that, the earlier scuffle severed both his legs leaving him unable to even stand
up.

"Elder brother? Hmph!" The man laughs coldly. "Don't worry, if he dares to appear in front
of the great me, I will ....... "
"What will you do?"

A flippant voice emerges from the crowd, cutting him off.

Chapter 46

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Unlucky You XiaoMo.Everyone looks towards the direction of the voice and sees a handsome man
stepping out from the crowd. The man's face is calm and collected with a chiseled outline. Even
though he is rather expressionless, he still gives off an overwhelming force. A resplendent white robe
with a string of green jade at his waist. At a glance, one would think of a noble rather than a martial
artist.

You XiaoMo follows behind Ling Xiao but he doesn't dare to walk up to the front. It's obvious that
the bearded man is a martial artist. The muscles on his body are extraordinary. If not, Chen GaoYang
would not be so helpless.

Without waiting for everyone to guess who Ling Xiao is, Tang YunQi and Chen GaoYang exclaim
happily 'Elder brother'. At this moment, there is no longer any need for introduction. Everyone now
knows that this is the beautiful girl's knight in shining armor. When they first heard them saying 'Elder
brother', they had envisioned a fierce and strong skilled person. Never did it cross their mind that it
would be some frivolous princely noble.

"Elder brother, you must take revenge for me. They tore my clothes. Really too hateful!"

Seeing that her Elder brother has come, Tang YunQi is both surprised and elated. She quickly runs
up to him complaining shamefully and furiously, her pretty face on the point of tears. Absolutely
lovable and charming.

Ling Xiao glances at her indifferently and frowns.

Seeing the situation, You XiaoMo quickly takes out a set of clothes from his magic bag. Although
the workmanship is nothing much, but it's still better than clothes that fail to cover the body.
Furthermore, reputation is the most important thing for young maidens. Who would expect that his one
act of kindness would be met with a glare from Tang YunQi. She then takes takes out a set of light
yellow clothes from her own magic bag and puts them on. Looking on in a daze, You XiaoMo quietly
puts his clothes back. If he had known that she has her own clothes, he would have minded his own
business. But this woman is really strange. Since she had brought a set of clothes in her magic bag,
why didn't she bring them out immediately? Really incomprehensible!

"So you're that Elder brother. You don't look like much. Little boy, I advise you to be sensible
and leave right now. If not, you will be the next one lying on the ground." The bearded man looks
Ling Xiao up and down. When he heard those two talking with such confidence before, he had thought
that the so-called Elder brother would be a powerful formidable foe. Instead it's a pretty boy,
immediately causing him to feel extreme disdain.

"There's no hurry. Let me ask a question before leaving."


Ling Xiao slowly starts to smile, looking at the bearded man in amusement.

"Elder brother?"

Tang YunQi's eyes pop out in disbelief at Ling Xiao. She thinks she must have misheard him. How
could Elder brother withdraw from the field of battle?

"Looks like you know your place!"

The bearded man snorts in satisfaction. He also thinks that Ling Xiao is really afraid of him and is
preparing to slink away in shame.

"How should I address you sir?" Ling Xiao asks casually looking completely relaxed.

"I am Luo Shan. The cousin of the once in a hundred years rare talent of QingCheng sect
Luo ShuHe. If you have any sense, you will leave behind the girl at your back. I may still leave
you people some viable options." Luo Shan says with immense pride.

Now everyone knows the reason why he dares to swagger through the streets. With the backing of
QingCheng sect, no wonder he is so arrogant, snatching girls by force in the streets.

Speaking of QingCheng sect, its scale is about the same as TianXin sect. But its resources and
history is slightly inferior to TianXin sect. That's why TianXin sect is in the number one position in
Long Xiao continent while QingCheng sect can only take second place.

But these few years, QingCheng sect's reputation has sprung up. Announcing happy news one after
another as if they are eager to let everyone know. One of those things is related to the Luo ShuHe that
Luo Shan mentioned. He is also an outstanding talent from the warrior division. Just like Ling Xiao.
Both have had success in martial arts field at a young age, leaders of the younger generation.

The second piece of news is that there is a high level mage in QingCheng sect that can refine level
nine magic pills. Level nine and level ten magic pills is a high barrier that most high level mages
cannot pass. Even for large sects like QingCheng sect and TianXin sect. Although they have many
talented high level mages, the ones that are really able to refine a level nine magic pill is still very
few. Such as You XiaoMo's master Kong Wen. He has made a name for himself for many years but
right now he can still only barely manage to refine a level nine magic pill. The two high level mages
of Heaven peak and Flying peak are also the same.

As for QingCheng sect, the reason why they couldn't compare to TianXin sect before is because
they don't have a high level mage that can refine level nine magic pills. Now, QingCheng sect has
risen up a level in strength signifying that they can now sit on the same table as equals with TianXin
sect. Luo Zhan daring to stir up trouble on the outskirts of TianXin sect is most probably because of
this.

But while others fear QingCheng sect, Tang YunQi as the daughter of the Grand Master is not
afraid.
"So what of QingCheng sect? I am the daughter of the Grand Master of TianXin sect, Tang
YunQi. Let me tell you, there is no way this will end like this!"

The crowd immediately erupts in an uproar. Isn't this just a little too dramatic? Before, a lot of
people were still discussing the situation between QingCheng sect and TianXin sect. After all, one
mountain can't hold two tigers. Who would have thought that the disciples from the two sects would
clash in the streets of little HePing town. Furthermore, one is the daughter of the Grand Master and the
other is the cousin of Luo ShuHe, both of equally high status.

No one notices that upon hearing these words, a ray of black light flashes across Luo Shan's eyes.

"Luo Shan, do your words and actions represent that of QingCheng sect?"

Among the clamoring voices, Ling Xiao's indifferent voice cuts across like a flash of ice cold in
the middle of summer.

The group of people standing around immediately quiets down. Even Luo Shan looks across at him
in surprise. After understanding what he said, he raises his chin arrogantly, "My position is of course
the position of QingCheng sect."

"I see. Great! Great!" Ling Xiao smiles slightly while saying great twice.

Before anyone can figure out what 'great' refers to, Ling Xiao flings his sleeves towards Luo Shan.
The latter suddenly lets out a horrible scream and is flung back. This hit is not slight. The strong as an
ox Luo Shan flies back five meters like a rag. When he climbs back up, both his eyes have changed to
pitch black empty sockets. The whites of the eyes seems to have disappeared into the sockets.
Looking directly at him will numb one's skull.

"Heavens, isn't that a demon? How can Luo Shan turn into a demon?"

All of a sudden, panic-stricken screams rise up from the onlooking crowd, followed by even more
sounds of violent gasps of shock. Many of their faces start to pale. One after another rushing
backwards in fear. Some of them fall to the ground from excess haste, and get stepped on, including
the unlucky You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo was originally standing behind Ling Xiao but Tang YunQi squeezed him away when
she came over. Gentlemen don't fight with women, so You XiaoMo moves a little further away from
Ling Xiao.

Who would have thought that the crowd would suddenly panic. A few people while rushing back
out of fear kept pushing him back and back. In the end, someone tripped him, causing him to fall to the
ground. Before he could scramble back up, the out of control crowd steps on his right leg .......
*kacha*, You XiaoMo clearly hears the sound of his bone cracking. Crocodile tears almost squeeze
out from the corners of his eyes.

Right at this moment, someone grips him by the wrist and pulls him up. Then You XiaoMo feels his
head fall onto a warm broad chest. A refined voice comes from above his head.

"Idiot! You can even fall down while standing. I really wonder how you managed to live until
now!"

Chapter 47

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Secret exposed.You XiaoMo looks up and sees Ling Xiao frowning at him. Just when he is about
the speak, Tang YunQi shrieks and runs towards them in a panic.

Looking over Ling Xiao's shoulder, You XiaoMo sees Luo Shan struggling to stand up. At this time,
his outward appearance is completely different from before. His skin was originally dark yellow but
now it is covered in a layer of blackish-grey. The ten nails on his ten fingers are two inches long and
appear black. The body is half a meter taller than before. The muscles bulge out and break through his
clothes. Where is the appearance of Luo Shan? This is obviously a demon!

You XiaoMo has never heard of demons. So he is not really clear why people are calling Luo Shan
a demon. Furthermore they are acting as if they are looking at the devil.

"What happened to that guy?" You XiaoMo shrinks into Ling Xiao's arms as he asks.

There's no helping it. He really doesn't want to be so useless. But his right leg is already injured.
The people around are all in a panic. If he were to rush out, his other leg would probably also get
trampled on and broken. He doesn't want to have come down the mountain walking and go back in a
stretcher.

"Demon."

Ling Xiao turns around and looks at Luo Shan who is walking towards them.

"How did it turn out like this? Isn't he QingCheng sect's man? How did he turn into a
demon?" You XiaoMo asks while gulping.

"Heh, that you'll have to ask him."

Ling Xiao smiles slightly, yet a hint of contempt appears in his eyes. Inferior beings are inferior
beings. And yet he dares to fan the flames of disorder in his presence. A copper colored flying sword
appears in his hand.

"Who are you actually? Actually able to see my real nature."

The demon Luo Shan stops three meters away from Ling Xiao. Although his eyes are completely
black, it still can be seen that he is afraid of Ling Xiao.

"The stink on your body is so foul, is there any need to even look?"

Ling Xiao says unhurriedly, his voice as gentle as jade, extremely pleasant to the ear. Except that
there is someone who upon hearing feels his head burn in anger that he almost charges over.
"But, since the nephew of the Grand Master of QingCheng sect is a demon, doesn't that mean
that the whole clan is also made up of demons ba?"

The demon Luo Shan smiles sinisterly. The pupils of eyes his slowly condense into red dots, the
most obvious outer characteristic of demons. As such, the crowd standing around looking on
immediately recognize him for what he is when they see that appearance.

He doesn't answer Ling Xiao's question. Instead, he leaps onto the roof and after gaining his
footing, looks down at them from above. He extends both his arms and laughs darkly, "Sooner or
later, Long Xiao continent will be the territory of demons. As for all of you, you will soon
become our slaves!"

Saying that, the demon Luo Shan turns to leave. Since there is no way of winning this fight, he can
only escape. His speed is extremely fast, almost covering a thousand meters in a flash, his body
engulfed in a black cloud.

Ling Xiao lifts the flying sword in his hand and breathes on the blade. He then sends the flying
sword away in the direction of the fleeing demon Luo Shan.

You XiaoMo just catches sight of his actions but before he can ask, the flying sword disappears, no
longer visible to the naked eye.

Even though the demon Luo Shan left, the news that a demon appeared in HePing town spreads in a
day. If Luo Shan is a regular martial artist, most of the big sects would just send their disciples to
encircle and suppress Luo Shan. But he is clearly a disciple of QingCheng sect and a nephew to the
Grand Master at that, changing the significance altogether.

Speaking of the word demon, there is not one martial artist that would be unaffected. They do not
form a sect but they can be considered as living in a group. Much like martial artists, forming an
independent faction in Long Xiao continent.

Demons are based in the north. The north is formed by unbroken mountain ranges, a good place for
demons to hide. Therefore, martial artist won't normally go to the northern mountain ranges casually,
because they can encounter demons at any time. The lucky ones will leave with life endangering
injuries. The unlucky ones will have their life force completely sucked out, turning into a human shell.
Therefore, demons and martial artists are mortal enemies that cannot live under the same sky. Much
like the relationship between cats and mice.

After the demon Luo Shan left, everyone no longer has the mood to stroll about. The surprise
appearance of a demon in HePing town cannot be kept hidden. After all, who knows whether the
demons will come again. In order to protect their little lives, most people no longer have the wish to
stay. Many shops immediately become deserted.

Tang YunQi suggests that they return to TianXin sect immediately. But Ling Xiao uses You
XiaoMo's injury as a reason to follow the original plan. So he lets her go back first to notify the
Grand Master. He is very firm on this. Moreover, both of Chen GaoYang's legs are also injured, not
able to move easily. Tang YunQi has no choice but to return first to TianXin sect.

Ling Xiao arranges a room for Chen GaoYang before returning to his own room to check on You
XiaoMo. You XiaoMo is sitting on a chair with his injured leg resting on another chair. The injury on
his leg has been treated, wrapped in gleaming white bandages, looking a little swollen.

Because it is a fracture, he can't move about for the time being. He needs to rest for some time
before it gets healed, but that is under normal circumstances. Since he has nothing to do, You XiaoMo
can only wait for Ling Xiao while drinking the steaming hot tea that had just been delivered by the
rest house attendant.

Hearing the door open, there is no need to look to know that it is Ling Xiao. You XiaoMo quickly
and eagerly pours another cup of tea.

"Elder brother Ling, how are Brother Chen's injuries?"

You XiaoMo offers him the tea and asks.

Ling Xiao takes the tea and raises an eyebrow at him, "Why are you so concerned about him?"

You XiaoMo is rendered speechless momentarily. He's only making conversation, nothing more.
He's not really concerned about him, someone that always gives him a nasty look, and always plotting
against him with Tang YunQi. He would have to eat to the point of bursting before getting concerned
over him. After all, he is no goddess of the white lotus flower.

"I'm only asking. What about that demon Luo Shan ne?"

Seeing that he is displeased, You XiaoMo can only change the topic. He is also very curious to
know where the flying sword ended up.

"Him?" Ling Xiao snorts mockingly, "Dead."

"How can it be?"

You XiaoMo can't help raising his voice. This news is too sudden. Not even two hours after he
escaped and he is already dead?

"Do you think the flying sword I sent out is a herbivore?"

Ling Xiao's elegant brows twitch as if he is annoyed at his doubt.

You XiaoMo almost spurts out his the tea in his mouth. Wiping the corner of his mouth and
explaining: "Of course your flying sword is not a herbivore. It's just a little unexpected, that's
all."

From the day they first met, You XiaoMo already knows that Ling Xiao is not a herbivore. Able to
casually kill Lin Xiao and take his place, how can he be a herbivore? Most probably ordinary fish
and meat are also unable to satisfy his appetite.

"You XiaoMo, you have the time to worry about others, why don't you worry about yourself?"

Ling Xiao suddenly narrows his eyes, his penetrating eyes revealing a domineering attitude, with a
hint of questioning. His voice simultaneously filled with a teasing tone, as if he is cracking a joke.

You XiaoMo doesn't understand what he means, lowering his head to look at his injured right foot,
"Uh, I don't quite understand." What is there to concern myself with.

Ling Xiao sees him acting dumb but doesn't get angry. He takes a sip of the tea and says like the
gentle breeze and light clouds: "Isn't there something good in those bottles hidden in your magic
bag? Pouring it on your wound, wouldn't it make you heal faster?"

This time You XiaoMo is unable to contain it. A mouthful of tea sprays over the whole table.
Before he manages to wipe his mouth, he almost blurts out 'How did you know?'. Luckily he quickly
thinks that maybe Ling Xiao is referring to the magic pills he refined. After all, other than those few
bottles of lake water, his magic bag is filled with all sorts of bottles.

You XiaoMo doesn't dare to look at Ling Xiao anymore. He tilts his head wracking his brains
looking for an excuse. What to do ah, what to do ah? Although there are many bottles in his magic
bag, but they are all empty. The bottles containing magic pills he had already sold them this morning.
Other than the Fasting magic pill, but Ling Xiao also knows this so he definitely can't get it past him.

Ling Xiao also doesn't rush him. Seeing that he doesn't dare to look at him, he calmly asks: "How
is it? Have you thought of a good excuse to fool me?"

You XiaoMo's cerebrum immediately crashes. These words obviously mean that he already knows.

"How did you find out?" You XiaoMo forces himself to ask. Even if he is to die, he wants to die
knowing. He has clearly been so careful, never taking it out in his presence.

Ling Xiao fiddles with the cup in his hand, looking at him with a vague smile.

"Are you taking the great me for an illiterate fool? A newly minted probationary disciple, one
lacking innate talent, actually able to refine over one hundred magic pills in a day,
uninterrupted at that. If not for some secret trick, only a fool would think it's possible."

You XiaoMo's jaw almost drops to the floor. Looks like this is the reason. But only after his
warning does You XiaoMo realize just how much he had inadvertently revealed in front of Ling Xiao.

"Furthermore, your complexion is a little too rosy."

Ling Xiao suddenly leans towards him, extending his hand to stroke his cheek. Really very tender
and smooth.
You XiaoMo's cheek immediately flushes red .......

Chapter 48

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Magic water dimension."My my my ....... rosy face, what has it got to do with that?"

You XiaoMo stammers, the sudden attack on his cheeks almost scares him.

Ling Xiao straightens up. Looking at his frightened expression, he still doesn't feel that he did
anything inappropriate. After looking him up and down, he says: "Which mage after four days of
seclusion won't come out looking on the point of death? Unless it's a high level mage. Which
mage of your level would come out with a face that is glowing with health?"

You XiaoMo immediately rubs his cheek reflexively. He really didn't pay attention to this point. He
usually doesn't practice together with his brothers. So there is no way for him to compare. That's why
he doesn't know whether his condition is normal or abnormal.

Now, after Ling Xiao brings up this point, he finally understands. Although he strives to be as low
key as possible everyday, his actions are so high profile that it can't be any higher. Based on his
ability to refine over a hundred magic pills a day, that alone is enough to show that something is up
with him. You XiaoMo finally understands why Kong Wen would suddenly accept him as his disciple.

"Confession begets leniency, resistance begets tyranny. Choose one."

Ling Xiao simply tosses him a choice.

A war between heaven and man is being waged in You XiaoMo's mind. Hearing these words, his
expression immediately becomes conflicted. Is there really a choice? Although You XiaoMo doesn't
know how tyrannical Ling Xiao can be, he doesn't want to find out, not even a little bit. So he can
only fess up and ask for leniency.

After making his decision, You XiaoMo takes out the three bottles filled with lake water from his
magic bag. There were originally five but he had used up two of them, so he is left with three. They
are filled to the brim and undiluted so there is abundant spiritual energy.

"This is water that can restore the soul force as well as physical strength. During the four
days of seclusion, I relied on this ....... "

You XiaoMo pushes the three bottles of water in front of Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao opens one of the bottles. A whiff of concentrated spiritual energy immediately assails his
nostrils, "What kind of water is this?"

You XiaoMo hangs his head, "I don't know myself. I only know that drinking this, the dried up
soul force will be restored to abundance. Physical strength will also be restored. Very convenient
and very effective. So when I refine magic pills, I will drink some of it."

"This water, where did you get it?"

Ling Xiao asks flatly. He can feel that the magic water in the bottles contain a very high amount of
spiritual energy. As if the spiritual energy has been condensed to an extreme degree such that it
condenses from gaseous form into liquid form. If this is the case, the secret hidden in You XiaoMo's
body is no ordinary secret.

You XiaoMo looks at him with a complicated expression. He finally curls up his lips sadly and
grasps his hand.

Just when Ling Xiao is surprised at his action, he suddenly feels a spatial distortion. It's only an
instant, and he discovers that he and You XiaoMo are now in another dimension. Strong scent of green
grass. Blue sky and white clouds. A rather large lake in the distance. The lake water is a milky white
yet crystal clear. It's just that under the blue sky, it appears dark blue like jade.

Other than that, there is a large patch of flourishing and luxuriant magic herbs next to the lake. From
level one to level three. The level three magic herbs probably need a few more days to reach
maturity. But the level two and level one are already mature. A competing riot of colors swaying
away.

You XiaoMo steals a glance at Ling Xiao. Surprisingly there is not even a little sign of
astonishment.

Ling Xiao seems to notice his little action. A light smile blooms on his expressionless face. He
says warmly, "What are you looking at ne?"

"Nothing, I'm not looking at anything!" You XiaoMo quickly shakes his head. Smiling so
warmly, he knows that something is coming. It's better for him to not say anything at this point.

Ling Xiao walks towards the field of magic herbs and simply sits down on the chair that You
XiaoMo usually takes a rest on. Arranging his clothes, he calmly says: "You XiaoMo, do you want to
explain this yourself or do you want me to ask you one by one?"

You XiaoMo's heart immediately goes *ge deng*. Hearing his princely tone, it's obvious that his
anger has not yet dissipated.

Chapter 49

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Take off your clothes.So, You XiaoMo explains how he discovered the blue teardrop in full detail.
After all, his biggest secret is already laid out in front of Ling Xiao. It doesn't matter whether he tells
him or not so he might as well tell him everything from beginning to end.

Actually, the process is not at all complicated since he himself doesn't know how the blue teardrop
appeared on his chest. He's even more clueless on the magical nature of the lake water. So he finishes
the explanation in just a few words. After speaking, You XiaoMo secretly observes Ling Xiao's face.
Wuh, no change at all .......

"You mean that blue teardrop appeared when you were taking a bath? Then it didn't appear
when you were taking a bath before?"

The great Ling Xiao is not so easily fooled. Right away he zeroes in on You XiaoMo's weak point.
This question, even he himself doesn't know the answer. Actually, You XiaoMo himself is not sure if
the blue teardrop on his chest appeared when he was taking a bath, because at that time, he had just
come to this world, so everything is in a blur. After all, it's not as if he would have immediately taken
off his clothes for no particular reason to see if had any birthmarks or such things on his chest. So
there are two possibilities. The first is that the blue teardrop already existed on the original You
XiaoMo before he died. The second is that it only appeared after he transported over.

But, the transportation of his soul is You XiaoMo's biggest secret. He can let Ling Xiao know about
the blue teardrop but this he can't tell. The reason why is because he and Ling Xiao have not reached
the level of closeness for him to share such an important secret with him.

"I also don't know what the deal is. I just know that it suddenly appeared that day. It may not
have anything to do with taking a bath."

You XiaoMo has a certain characteristic. If he doesn't want to say something, even if you beat him
to death, he still wouldn't say it. He also won't say it clearly to avoid selling himself out, so he would
frequently give ambiguous alternatives. Once you get to know him more, you would discover this
habit.

But Ling Xiao has not known him for long. He also believes that You XiaoMo wouldn't dare to lie
to him so he believes his words.

"Come here."

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes and beckons him with his finger.

You XiaoMo hesitates for a moment before walking apprehensively over to him. Because he feels
guilty, he doesn't dare to look directly at Ling Xiao.
"Take off your clothes."

Ling Xiao simply orders him when he comes up to him.

"Ah? Take off my clothes?"

You XiaoMo reflexively grips the front of his collar, looking at Ling Xiao in terror.

"Little brother, do you not understand what I'm saying or do you want me to help you take it
off ng?"

Ling Xiao thinks that he is playing dumb, his tone a little displeased. It doesn't cross his mind that
there would a problem between males.

You XiaoMo shivers and considers between he himself taking it off or letting Ling Xiao help him
take it off. He finally chooses the former. The clothes on his body is still one of the sets he had before.
Very simple and of ordinary material. Because the weather is not cold, he doesn't have much on. No
matter how much he dawdles, it still doesn't take much time before he takes off his shirt. The small
and thin body is clear and fair. Washed by the magic water, it becomes even more sparkling and
translucent. His flesh is smooth and glistening. Even more smooth and tender than a newborn baby.
Maybe because he feels a little embarrassed, a pink flush starts to spread across You XiaoMo's upper
body. Everything above his neck had turned bright red a long time ago.

Ling Xiao doesn't notice his awkwardness. He is completely absorbed by the blue teardrop on his
chest. The radiance of the blue teardrop is even more brilliant than what You XiaoMo observed
before, extremely fascinating. If you stare directly at it, it would seem as if you have entered a
dreamlike fantasy world. But this does not apply to Ling Xiao. After staring at it for quite a while,
there is still no change in his expression.

"Elder brother Ling, is there anything wrong with this teardrop?"

You XiaoMo asks with a red face.

Letting a man stare at one's chest, even though both sides don't have any particular intentions, it
would still make one feel uncomfortable, especially for the thin-skinned You XiaoMo.

Ling Xiao raises his head and glances at him. His ambiguous gaze roams over his fair and clear
body. He then says lightly: "It's a very peculiar dimension. Someone must have left it
intentionally on your body, only to be opened when the proper time comes."

"Who can it be?"

You XiaoMo exclaims in astonishment.

If the person had evil intentions, wouldn't this teardrop be a pre-determined time-bomb?
"No matter who it is, for that person to put such a valuable thing inside your body, it wouldn't
make sense if it's not someone close to you. There are benefits but there are also corresponding
dangers."

Ling Xiao seems to know immediately what he is thinking of.

"What are the dangers?"

You XiaoMo frowns with a sad face. He knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this
world.

Ling Xiao leans over to him, smiling slightly: "Think about it yourself. If people find out that
you have such an unfair advantage, not only can it be used to grow magic herbs, it can also
expedite their growth, when that happens, how many of them will go crazy over it? Even for the
number one large sect TianXin sect, they would probably take it away forcibly for themselves
and kill you off to silence you!"

The last part was said extremely sweetly. You XiaoMo can actually feel an invisible hand
squeezing his neck.

He cries out in dismay: "Then what should I do ah? Elder brother Ling, *wu wu*, I don't want
to die."

Ling Xiao snorts *pu chi*, and roars in laughter while looking up to the sky.

Chapter 50

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Deal.

The cowardly, afraid of getting into trouble, and weak You XiaoMo, Ling Xiao never liked this
type of people. But unexpectedly not only does he not detest You XiaoMo, he actually finds the him
that is this way very lovable, so much so that he sometimes can't stop himself from teasing him,
deriving great pleasure from it.

"Little brother, if you don't want to die, you have to listen to me obediently, understand?"

Ling Xiao raises the corners of his mouth and says in delight.

You XiaoMo immediately nods his head as if he's pounding garlic. Now, his life is already in his
hands. Even if he doesn't understand _______ he still has to pretend to understand!

Ling Xiao stands up and walks a few steps. He turns back towards You XiaoMo that is following
his every move: "From now on, don't let anyone besides me see the blue water drop on your
chest. This is very important. Understand?"

"Understand!"

You XiaoMo nods his head vigorously. Although he very much wants to tell him that it's not a blue
water drop but a blue teardrop, after thinking it over for a bit, he decides to let that rot in his stomach.
After all the shape of a water drop and teardrop are pretty much the same.

"Also, the magic herbs planted in this dimension. When the time comes, you can take out a
few but not too much to avoid attracting the attention of observant people. Furthermore, the
reason why you can refine over a hundred magic pills in a day is due to the effect of the lake
water. If an observant person wants to investigate you, sooner or later they will find out that
something is not right. So from today onwards you must not overdo it."

Ling Xiao instructs him word by word with a serious tone that he has never used before.

You XiaoMo also knows how important it is so he agrees to all of them. After committing all these
to memory, You XiaoMo suddenly thinks of another issue and asks hastily: "Elder brother Ling, can
I still drink that magic water?"

Ling Xiao thinks it over briefly, "Yes, but you must not hand over the magic pills too early. You
should at least wait one or two days."

There's no need for a detailed explanation, You XiaoMo knows what he means. The last time, he
took one thousand and two hundred magic herbs and finished them off in four days. This speed is
really too fast. For a disciple with his innate talent, it is quite abnormal.

After going through all the details, Ling Xiao casts his gaze on the large field of magic herbs in
front. The colorful magic herbs are growing quite well, quite unlike those the original Lin Xiao had
seen before. The ones that Lin Xiao had seen were the magic herbs of Heaven peak. Because he is the
elder disciple of the Grand Master and because Tang YunQi is the daughter of the Grand Master, so
based on this relationship, Lin Xiao is rather close to Heaven peak. Before, when he visits Heaven
peak, the disciples and seniors did not treat him cautiously just because he is from the warrior
division. But this may no longer be the case now.

Recently, the rumors that he is very close to You XiaoMo is very rampant. On top of that, You
XiaoMo is now a direct disciple to Kong Wen. It's hard to say if there will be those that read more
into it. But Ling Xiao has not gone over to Heaven peak for some time so he doesn't know if those
people have changed they attitude towards him.

"The area of this land in this dimension is quite large. Are you planning on using that piece
of land to grow magic herbs?"

Ling Xiao surveys the dimension. The area of this dimension is actually not considered small. Just
that small lake is as big as Heaven peak.

"No, I actually plan to use the whole area to plant magic herbs. But, uh, there's too many
weeds, I still haven't finished clearing them."

You XiaoMo lowers his head, his cheeks blushing shamefully. It has already been ten days but he
only has one pair of hands. His time is usually spent refining magic pills, basically leaving him with
no spare time to weed. On top of that, he was in seclusion for four days before this, not even having
the time to harvest the mature magic herbs, let alone weeding.

"Given your efficiency, you may not even finish it in a year's time." Ling Xiao says
indifferently, glancing at him.

You XiaoMo can't refute it. This dimension is so big. It is true that he may not be able to clear all
the weeds in a year's time. Thinking it over, he then asks cautiously: "Then do you have any ideas?"

A gentle smile like the spring breeze suddenly blooms on Ling Xiao's face, "Not just anyone can
get the great me to lend a hand."

You XiaoMo pouts, "How many magic pills do you want?"

"Twenty. And the best kind." Ling Xiao says without the slightest bit of shame.

You XiaoMo grimaces. He knew it wouldn't be a small demand. Twenty magic pills, of the best
quality at that. With his current ability, it would probably take a day. Luckily the magic herbs in his
dimension is already mature. This way, he wouldn't have to continuously go to the Hall of Enchanted
Herbs to get magic herbs. He also doesn't have to hand over half so it will save him quite a bit of
time.

In the end, You XiaoMo exchanges twenty top quality level one magic pills for Ling Xiao's effort.

Then a shocking scene unfolds. From where did he conjure up tornadoes? Several small tornadoes
appear out of thin air, and purposefully wreaks havoc in the dimension. Everywhere they go, all the
weeds are uprooted. You XiaoMo doesn't even need to further prepare the land. In under an hour,
other than where they are standing, and that field of magic herbs, every other inch appears to have met
with some disaster, in a complete mess .......

Hello! It's 50 chapters and this is not even 10% of it. Time to revisit the notes. It's a very longggggg
story so please don't get too attached to it. Although I don't want to give out spoilers but this seems to
be important to readers so .... This story is really just an adventure story. The bl stuff is just a side
note. The steamy stuff is really next to zero in this story. Maybe once or twice in over seven hundred
chapters. So please don't expect it! It's very light reading, the complete opposite of Yesterday.
Chapter 51

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Uncle Pu Chan.After explaining all the details about the dimension, there is one thing that troubles
You XiaoMo. That thing is related to the dimension. Just like what Ling Xiao said, the blue teardrop
is a an extremely valuable treasure. Even TianXin sect would be intrigued. Why was there not the
slightest reaction from him? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he just kill him and snatch it? This
type of thinking is a little unfair to himself but You XiaoMo can't help but think this way.

But right up to the time they both leave the dimension, Ling Xiao doesn't bring up the matter. This
finally lets him feel a little relieved.

Because there are still a lot things happening outside, they can't stay too long in the dimension.
After Ling Xiao sets the tornadoes free and clears up all the weeds in the dimension, they both leave
the room. In order to not attract attention, You XiaoMo doesn't use the magic water to heal his injured
leg.

Not long after they both go out, a big group from TianXin sect arrives. They are disciples from the
warrior division. The leader is a senior. His beard and hair is interspersed black and white. Seems
he is not young but his eyes frequently emit rays of light. This person is Lin Xiao's senior, Uncle Pu
Chan. He is also the Grand Master's disciple. He is very shrewd but he is also notoriously harsh.

Seems Tang YunQi is quite fast. Immediately notifying her father upon returning.

Tang Fan takes this issue of demons very seriously. Furthermore it appeared in HePing town. When
TianXin sect disciples apply for leave, most of the time it is to head down to HePing town. So in
order to protect the safety of the disciples, this issue must be treated seriously. So he immediately
sends his own trusted subordinate.

Pu Chan is this trusted subordinate of Tang Fan. Putting aside his shrewdness and harsh nature, the
reality is, he listens and follows Tang Fan's words to the letter.

This trip, bringing people down the mountain, Pu Chan operates in his usual style. He simply
directs his people to surround HePing town. Although the demon Luo Shan had escaped, it doesn't
necessarily mean that his comrades are not still hiding in HePing town. Only after doing this does Pu
Chan head towards the rest house.

At this time, Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo have already left the dimension. Just as they are chatting
about trivial matters, the room door is forcefully pushed open from outside.

It's the arrival of Pu Chan. He is always abrupt when dealing with the juniors, with a haughty
manner. On top of that, he never holds back when he speaks so a lot of disciples don't like to deal
with him, including the original Lin Xiao. He was also quite fed up with him but he would never
reveal it because Pu Chan is Tang Fan's most trusted disciple.
"Lin Xiao, tell me in full detail how you discovered the demon."

Pu Chan is very strong, tough and stocky, with a beard that completely covers his face. Upon
walking in, he completely blocks up the door leaving no way for the people behind him to enter.

But he is really rude. In You XiaoMo's memory, when people meet Ling Xiao, they are always
respectful and courteous. This is first time seeing someone so arrogantly ordering Ling Xiao. He
steals a look at Ling Xiao. He seems to be smiling too brilliantly .......

Upon seeing that, You XiaoMo immediately lowers his head.

Ling Xiao doesn't immediately reply. He lifts up the cup of tea that You XiaoMo had poured for
him, taking a leisurely sip as if enjoying the light breeze and cloudless skies. Somewhat like being
unmoved by the impending collapse of Mt. Tai. Only after Pu Chan frowns and is about to explode
does he open his mouth.

"Uncle Pu, you should ask this to Brother Chen. He is clearer about this than me."

You XiaoMo can't help grinning. Luckily his head is bowed down.

The thick black brows of Pu Chan draw tight. He obviously did not expect that the response he
waited for would be these few words. If it wasn't Lin Xiao in front of him, he would have certainly
flipped out. Too bad. Pu Chan snorts derisively before turning around to leave. As for the You
XiaoMo seated next to Ling Xiao, from the beginning to end, he was completely ignored. Probably
You XiaoMo himself doesn't realize, but this is the first time his low profile plan succeeds.

"Elder brother Ling, do you think the demons will stay in HePing town?"

After Pu Chan leaves, You XiaoMo opens his mouth and asks. He feels that Pu Chan doesn't have to
take such drastic measures. Since demons and martial artists are natural enemies, after Luo Shan's
identity was exposed, the other demons would definitely not stay behind. Even if they do, it doesn't
mean they would be found out, otherwise, Luo Shan's identity would have been exposed long ago.

"Hmph, it's just posturing for others to see." Ling Xiao says derisively.

You XiaoMo nods his head seeming to understand. In fact, after such a serious event, if TianXin
sect doesn't conduct an investigation, it would probably have a negative affect on HePing town.
Upfront, HePing town is not in the territory of TianXin sect. But in reality, the power behind HePing
town is TianXin sect. That's why the appearance of a demon must be investigated, if only as an act to
reassure the people.

As Ling Xiao said, Pu Chan is only here to make some rounds. After finding out the details from
Chen GaoYang, he sends people to chase after the demon Luo Shan. But they are doomed to return
empty handed.

As for Ling Xiao and company, since they have nothing to do with what happens next, and since
they have bought what they came for, they simply took the winged bird back to TianXin sect that very
day.

Because of his leg injury, You XiaoMo doesn't head to the Hall of Enchanted Herbs to collect
magic herbs in the next few days in order to keep up appearances. During that time, Fang ChenLe
comes to visit him, bringing with him Kong Wen's words of concern.

Chapter 52

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Grand plan.The appearance and disappearance of demons caused a sensation in Long Xiao
continent. After that incident, You XiaoMo remained inside Earth Peak, so he doesn't know much
about what is happening outside. But he hears some disciples discussing the matter.

It is said that TianXin sect linked up with other sects to pressure QingCheng sect to account for
what happened. After all, Luo Shan is indeed the nephew of the Grand Master of QingCheng sect.
Furthermore, his transformation happened in front of many people. While the transformation took
place, his facial features did not change much so that negates the rumor that it was an impostor of Luo
Shan.

The Grand Master of QingCheng sect, Luo ChengYuan also never considered that his own nephew
could actually be a demon. But after a thorough investigation, a shocking secret is uncovered.

Luo ChengYuan's younger brother, Luo ChengYun is Luo Shan's father. When he was young, he often
left QingCheng sect to train and gather experience. The Luo ChengYun at that time could be
considered a dashing and elegant handsome prince. His admirers could almost encircle twice of
QingCheng sect's territory. It's just that Luo ChengYun didn't think much of them.

But not even six months after leaving QingCheng sect to train, he encountered Luo Shan's mother.
Luo Shan's mother is a half-demon. The so-called half-demons are offsprings between demons and
martial artists.

Because they still have human blood lineage, these type of people are usually called half-demons.
The biggest difference between them and pure-blood demons is that half-demons look exactly like
humans. Completely devoid of any demon outer characteristics.

Because of this, although demons detest humans, in order to accomplish their grand plan, they will
capture some humans to mate with low level demons. The offsprings are gathered and trained and
when they reach a certain age, they will be sent to infiltrate the humans.

Luo Shan's mother is just one of those spies dispatched to lie low among humans. Because Luo
Shan's mother is very beautiful and also because her intellect is very high, she quickly attracted the
attention of Luo ChengYun.

Not long after, the both of them became caught up in the river of love, unable to extricate
themselves. Soon they conceived Luo Shan. When the two of them got married, they did not notify Luo
ChengYuan. Because of all sorts of complicated reasons, Luo ChengYuan only knows that his younger
brother got married and that they have a plump and strong son called Luo Shan.

After getting married, Luo ChengYun planned to bring his wife and son back to QingCheng sect. It's
on the way back that Luo ChengYun discovered his wife's true nature. The reason she got close to him
was to infiltrate the inner core of QingCheng sect. In a fit of rage, Luo ChengYun and his wife fought
to the death and both of them died that very night, leaving behind the son.

But according to eyewitnesses, the couple was a victim of a surprise attack, all of them died in the
end. As for Luo Shan, he disappeared since that night. Some people said that he died. Others claim
that he was picked up by passerbys. In short, the opinions are widely varied.

The reality was, the newborn Luo Shan did not die, and he also wasn't stolen away. He was taken
away by the associate of Luo ChengYun's wife because Luo Shan was even more suited to being a spy
than his mother. Because he only has one quarter of the demon blood lineage, the probability of him
transforming into a demon is not high, so the probability of him being found out is also not high.

This was the plan that the demons had. So they brought Luo Shan back and trained him since young,
planning to send him back to recognize his clan when he is older. So when Luo Shan turned ten, he
was sent back to QingCheng sect.

The Grand Master Luo ChengYuan had always felt guilty towards his younger brother's family. If he
had sent people to greet them at that time, they wouldn't have fallen victim to villains and suffered
early deaths. So, when Luo Shan returned, Luo ChengYuan felt ashamed and remorse so he was
always relatively indulgent for many things. This is one of the reasons why Luo Shan grew up to be so
arrogant and considers everyone beneath him. Of course this is also related to Luo Shan's role as a
demon spy. The ten year old Luo Shan already considers himself as a demon, with humans as the
enemy.

QingCheng sect was unable to keep this matter under wraps. It very quickly leaked out and caused
a huge uproar.

While everyone was sobbing and sighing over this, they also started to become more vigilant. If not
for this exposure of Luo Shan as a demon, they would still be clueless of this demon rand plan.
Actually sending those half-demons to lie low among humans. If a battle between the two sides were
to happen in the future, wouldn't the other side easily stab them in the back? Thinking like this, all the
big sects erupt in a frenzy trying to dig out half-demons.

It is said that this continued on for almost three months leading to the discovery of several half-
demons that were then thrown out.

The Northern Skeleton Mountain Range.

After getting this news, the number one commander of the demons flies into a rage right on the spot.
He kills the messenger but that doesn't reduce his rage. A violent and sinister killing energy sweeps
through the main hall while the frightened underlings don't dare to utter a sound. The banquet that had
been in full swing with song and dance falls deadly silent in an instant. The women demons that were
dancing erotically are reduced to small shivering lumps.

"Tell me! What is going on? Why is it that our spies in all the main sects are being rooted
out?"
The demon commander orders darkly, his furious glare falls on the other messenger. His killing
aura threatens to erupt and tear the latter into pieces.

That demon who just witnessed the death of his comrade, had long ago become weak-kneed from
fright. Dripping with cold sweat, he doesn't dare to waste even a second when he hears those words.
He repeats everything he heard about the matter in a cautious tone as if he is terrified that he would
leave out a word.

After listening to the whole thing, the demon commander slowly closes his eyes. When he opens
them up again, the furious rage is even more intense than before. At the same time he says icily:
"What you're saying, is that the spies we sent out fifteen years ago were kicked out by TianXin
sect?"

"Ye ....... Yes! That person seems to an outstanding person from the warrior division of
TianXin sect, a leader of the younger generation, called Lin Xiao."

"Lin Xiao?"

The demon commander spit out these words coldly.

"How did he find out Luo Shan's identity? Even if he is outstanding, he can't have discovered
the identity of Luo Shan who only has a quarter of demon blood."

"This, no one understand this."

At that time, he was also doubtful. But further investigation also revealed nothing.

At this moment, the young demon standing next to the command commander who is also the second
in line, steps up. He clasps his hand and bows respectfully saying: "Commander, in my lowly
opinion, this Lin Xiao must have obtained some ingenious method to discover demons. If not, he
wouldn't have discovered Luo Shan's identity after meeting him only once. If he had already
figured it out earlier, TianXin sect would have taken some action long ago and not waited until
now."

"You are right. Looks like we can't let this Lin Xiao be. Do we still have spies in TianXin
sect?"

The demon commander is obviously not brainless. It seems he immediately agrees with his
underling's way of thinking.

The young demon says: "We do. But only one. Furthermore, that person's status in TianXin
sect is not low. If we are to rashly show our hand, it may expose his identity. If this happens, I'm
afraid it would be very difficult to send another person to get inside."

The demon commander waves it off not paying it any heed saying: "We can ignore the matter of
being exposed for now. If he really possesses this ingenious method, that person would be
exposed sooner or later. It's better to dispose of him to avoid an endless stream of troubles in the
future."

"Commander has decreed, so your servant will arrange it."

The young demon no longer objects.

At this time, Ling Xiao still doesn't know that he is now considered a nail in the eye by the demons,
with them unified in thinking up a way to dispose of him. If he knew, he would most probably find it
very amusing and eagerly await the arrival of that person. But if it was the former Lin Xiao, he would
most probably be very uneasy. After all, if that spy's status is not low in TianXin sect, with Lin Xiao's
ability, he probably won't be able to put up a fight.

Just when the demons are putting forth schemes and plans, TianXin sect's warrior division is
welcoming their grand annual friendly competition.

Note:exquisitely carved intellect - very smart

Chapter 53

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Pleasant surprise.For the following short period of time, You XiaoMo uses the excuse of his leg
injury to gradually cut down the number of times he goes to the Hall of Enchanted Herbs to collect
magic herbs. This dawdling dragged on for almost a month. His 'leg injury' finally heals. During this
time, he took one thousand and two hundred magic herbs. It appears as if he only refined four hundred
magic pills. In reality, he was busy gathering the mature magic herbs in his dimension.

Ever since he found out that the magic water can accelerate the growth of magic herbs, You
XiaoMo has been thinking of how to use the magic water to cultivate magic herbs. After a few
experiments, You XiaoMo gradually figures out a few points.

Firstly, the level one magic herbs. Level one magic herbs grow much more quickly than level two
magic herbs. If you don't water them with magic water, it will take a few months to grow. If you use
magic water, it won't even take half a day for the magic herb will change from a seed to a fully mature
magic herb. The effect is very impressive. But because it is so impressive, You XiaoMo feels that is
somewhat wasteful.

Although the lake takes up one fifth of the dimension, it is unknown if it will get replenished. What
would happen if he uses it all? With this in mind, You XiaoMo tries to dilute the magic water with
ordinary water. He finds out that although the effect of the diluted magic water is not as strong as
undiluted magic water, it still has an accelerating effect. It's only the rate is a little reduced in
accordance to the degree of dilution. With this, he can adjust the rate of growth of the magic herbs.

After figuring this out, he simply stays in his dimension carrying out tests. He also requests Ling
Xiao to go down the mountain to help him buy fifty big wooden barrels because he already used up
this month's two trip quota. Also, frequently going down the mountain would attract attention.

Ling Xiao knows that during this time he has been busy planting magic herbs. Although he doesn't
say he would do it, he buys the fifty wooden barrels for him that very day. You XiaoMo never
expected that he would be so fast. He only asked for them not four hours before and Ling Xiao
already brings the wooden barrels over. Feeling moved, he almost promises him ten or more magic
pills right then and there. Luckily he is able to stop his mouth in time.

Ling Xiao also doesn't ask for compensation. Seeing that he is busy, he simply leaves.

When You XiaoMo gets busy, he easily forgets those next to him. So he doesn't realize when Ling
Xiao left. On top of that, his bubbling spirits causes him to not take any notice. After moving the water
filled barrels into his dimension, he starts to dilute the magic water.

He prepares two different dilutions of magic water according to the needs of the three types of
magic herbs. One is for watering level one magic herbs. Because they grow too fast, You XiaoMo
isn't able to come in everyday to take care of them, so to avoid being wasteful, he dilutes the magic
water 1:100. This way, the magic herbs will take five days to grow. However, watering magic herbs
cannot be stopped, basically they need to watered once a day.

The second one if for watering level two magic herbs. Because level two magic herbs take a
longer time to grow when compared to level one magic herbs, the dilution factor is lower. But You
XiaoMo doesn't want to spend time harvesting magic herbs, so he adjusts their growth rate to one
month.

As for level three magic herbs, since he can't use them now, You XiaoMo plans to observe them for
now.

So You XiaoMo puts diluted magic water in fifteen of the fifty wooden barrels. The rest are filled
with ordinary water just in case.

After finishing this, You XiaoMo gathers up the mature magic herbs and places them on racks.
Luckily he had the foresight to buy over ten racks. He puts the ready magic herbs on top of them.
When the time comes, he just needs to take them from these racks.

But while he is picking magic herbs, he makes a big discovery. He discovers that whether it is the
stalks or the leaves, they are all filled with spiritual energy. The high concentration clearly shows that
they are top quality magic herbs.

After this surprising discovery, he goes to check on the level two and level three magic herbs.
While he was experimenting, these two levels of magic herbs also matured one after the other. At this
time, the magic herbs in the field is already the second batch. These two levels of magic herbs are
also top quality, on a completely different level than the ones in the magic herb gardens of Earth peak.

You XiaoMo immediately thinks that this situation is related to the magic water. Since the magic
water is a result of super concentrated spiritual energy, condensed into liquid form, wouldn't that
mean that magic herbs watered with the magic water will all be first class? Although there are some
doubts, You XiaoMo is almost certain of this. This is because he had already checked when he was
harvesting the magic herbs. Each and every one is undoubtedly top quality.

This makes You XiaoMo's spirits rise as if having been injected with chicken blood. This many top
quality magic herbs, if they were to be refined into magic pills, wouldn't they all be top quality magic
pills?

Having gone down the mountain twice, he already enquired about the prices of magic pills. Top
grade magic pills, no matter the level, once they appear, they will be snatched clean. So for higher
level top grade magic pills, they will usually be sold at auction. As for low level magic pills, if the
quantity is big, they can also be sold at auction.

Although very excited, You XiaoMo doesn't immediately use these magic herbs to refine magic
pills. Because he has to take care of magic herbs, because he has to refine pills for Ling Xiao, and
because he has to deal with the occasional visits from Elder brother, he is busier than most other
people.
Only after he finishes all these things, and after his 'leg injury' has healed, does You XiaoMo leave
the room. Before he can notify Ling Xiao, Elder brother Fang ChenLe coincidentally comes over.
Saying that Master wants to see them to discuss some matter, they both head over together.

Although he is Kong Wen's disciple, You XiaoMo has only met Kong Wen a few times. Most of the
time it is Elder brother than comes to see him. But this time there is an added good news. Apparently,
that Second brother that You XiaoMo has yet to meet, Fu ZiLin has returned.

Fu ZiLin returning means that he has found that magic herb. You XiaoMo is very curious about this
little genius of a Second brother.

It is said that there is not much of an age difference between him and Elder brother. The two of
them entered TianXin sect at the same time. However, Kong Wen did not take them as disciples at
TianXin sect. When Kong Wen was outside, he chanced upon them, and discovered that their innate
talent was not bad, so he simply accepted them as disciples before bringing them back.

After that, the two of them did not fail to live up to Kong Wen's expectations. Only in two and half
years, the both of them became level three mages one after the other. It must be said that usually
people take two to three years just to progress from level two to level three.

For example, Zhao DaZhou, he is about the same age as them but he is only a level two mage.
Although he will soon rise to level three, he has already spent almost five years at this level.
Furthermore, he grew up in Earth peak. However, one of the reasons is also his poor understanding.

On top of that, the transition between level three to level four is more difficult. Fang ChenLe and
Fu ZiLin also spent a few years before managing to breakthrough. It's only that their two characters
are poles apart. Elder brother is nice and warm. Second brother is poker faced, only showing
emotions when facing his childhood friend Elder brother. As for his relationship with others, one can
well imagine.

The meeting place is at Earth peak's Assembly Hall. When two of them arrive, most of the people
have already arrived.

You XiaoMo had originally thought it would just be a meeting between brothers. He didn't think
there would be other people. One of them is Zhao DaZhou's father, Zhao Zhen. Looking at this array of
people, he must be a blockhead if he still thinks this is just an informal gathering between master and
pupils.

You XiaoMo takes a sweeping look over the place, but he doesn't find that Second brother although
the others are already here.

Seeing them enter, Kong Wen signals for them to go over. Who would have guessed that the first
thing he asks is about that one month of seclusion. That is his secret! How can he say anything?

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Spot on the list."I heard Uncle Zhao say that you didn't refine many magic pills this month.
Did something happen?"

Kong Wen looks at him calmly, his eyes falling onto his right foot. Seeing that he is walking
normally, he doesn't bring it up and just brings up the issue of refining magic pills. Since he is his
Master, this is also quite reasonable.

You XiaoMo had long ago prepared himself mentally for this. After all, he refined much less magic
pills this month compared to last month. In fact, it's not even half. Putting aside the doubts of Uncle
Zhao, Kong Wen as his Master must have even more doubts since it's very likely that Kong Wen
accepted him as a disciple because of this issue.

You XiaoMo had already thought up his excuse, immediately saying respectfully: "Master, before
this, your disciple went overboard with refining magic pills. The result is there was not strength
left even though the will is there. Your disciple is worried that the body wouldn't be able to take
it so decided to slow down a little."

Refining over one hundred magic pills in a day is just too uncommon. Now that he has slowed
down, he finds a convenient excuse.

Kong Wen also doesn't suspect him, nodding while saying: "When refining magic pills, one must
be sure to move ahead steadily and strike sure blows. This you must be sure to remember from
now on."

"Disciple will sincerely follow Master's guidance!"

You XiaoMo is all respectful and earnest.

Kong Wen nods in satisfaction, then lets him sit at the lowest position below him. This is arranged
according to seniority. You XiaoMo is the newest disciple and also the youngest. Above him are all
older brothers and sisters. It's reasonable that he should sit at the last position.

Before long, Second brother Fu ZiLin arrives.

Although letting his brothers and Master wait for him seems a little self-important, but everyone
more or less understands his character. No one seated shows any sign of displeasure, including the
one who usually makes thoughtless remarks, Zhao DaZhou.

But Fu ZiLin actually has the qualifications to let others wait. Not mentioning the fact that he is a
level four mage, it seems that this time down the mountain, he brought some good things for Master.
You XiaoMo cranes his neck and peeps outwards. He sees a black figure stepping steadily over the
threshold. The first impression he gets is one as cold as ice.

Fu ZiLin is very handsome. His facial features appear strongly etched. Deep features and a
prominent nose, completely different from what he had in mind. He had thought that he would be
pretty boy. He didn't think that he would actually be such a handsome young man, and basically a
human-type air-conditioner. This type of person if you put him next to Elder brother, you would
definitely not think that he is younger than Elder brother by two years.

You XiaoMo observes that since Fu ZiLin stepped inside, he only looked towards Elder brother,
Master, and the other Uncles. As for his other younger brothers, he seems to overlook them
completely.

"Master, your disciple is back!" Fu ZiLin bows with cupped hands as he speaks in a cold and
firm voice.

Kong Wen doesn't ask him to account for his lateness because this Second disciple is not someone
who would come late without a serious reason. He simply nods and lets him take his place.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Uncle Zhao nods towards Master.

The reason for this gathering is to discuss an important matter. I'm sure you all know that the
warrior division will soon hold their grand annual friendly competition. Although it is a friendly
competition, it is considered a grand event for TianXin sect, so the Grand Master of course is taking
this competition seriously. The ones that went last year were ChenLe, Wu Yan and Mao Can. This
year, you all discuss among yourselves who will be the ones to go!"

Upon hearing this, You XiaoMo immediately becomes pensive. Friendly competition? Why has he
not heard of this? It sounds like a grand occasion. Seems his seclusion left him out of the loop.

But You XiaoMo has some doubts. What does the Warrior division's friendly competition have to
do with the Mage division such that they have to send people over!

Seeing that the disciples are not saying anything, Kong Wen adds: "You all must be aware of the
demon appearance a month ago at HePing town. Although TianXin sect did not uncover any demons,
that doesn't mean that there are no demons here. A few days ago, I, your uncles, and the Grand Master
already discussed this. There must always be at least two of us guarding Earth peak at all times. As
for the Warrior division's grand friendly competition, you all can also bring some extra people. When
the time comes, your Uncle Zhao will take the lead.

"Master, this time will disciple also be going?"

Fang ChenLe stands up and asks respectfully.

"That sounds good, you can also choose three others to go with you."
Kong Wen considers briefly and answers him. Although Elder brother already went the last time,
but if he is there then as a Master he would feel more at ease.

Fang ChenLe as the Elder brother not only has a relatively high seniority, he also has popular
support. Most importantly, he is cautious, well prepared and calm in the face of unexpected events. If
something comes up, it would be a good thing to have him in charge. Among his seven disciples,
Kong Wen feels the one he can rely on the most is this Elder brother.

The other disciples are in agreement. It's clear that Fang ChenLe is very well-liked in Earth peak.

"Younger brother Fu escaped the last two times. So there is no escape this time."

Fang ChenLe smiles as he looks at Fu ZiLin at his side. The latter just stays quiet.

Kong Wen also laughs out loud while nodding, saying, "That's right. This time your Elder
brother has decreed. ZiLin can't have any excuses."

Fang ChenLe knows that Master wouldn't object, continuing, "Third brother and Sixth brother
went last year so not this year. So the second person would be younger sister NanGong ba.
Women are more attentive. As for the last spot ....... little brother XiaoMo, it'll be you ba. It's not
good to constantly be in seclusion. One should go out and experience things."

Being called on, You XiaoMo freezes then immediately raises his head, his line of sight colliding
with the beaming face of Elder brother. He thought there would be no chance for him since he only
entered the sect two months ago.

"Elder brother, I also didn't go last year." Zhao DaZhou that is separated with You XiaoMo by a
hair finally voices his objection.

He had thought that this time would definitely be his turn. Who would have thought that the last spot
would go to You XiaoMo. This little brother that he thinks nothing of, who basically doesn't have any
right to the spot based on his qualifications.

Fang ChenLe had already expected that he would say that so he calmly explains: "Fifth brother,
you are now at the critical point before your breakthrough. You should concentrate on refining
magic pills."

Zhao DaZhou opens his mouth but is unable to say a word to counter his argument. He looks up and
sees that his father doesn't have the slightest reaction meaning he also agrees with Elder brother. He is
unable to stop feeling disappointed since he thought that it will finally be his time and yet there's
nothing for him.

You XiaoMo who is sitting right at the back also opened his mouth. Seeing Brother Zhao protest, he
thinks of giving the spot to him but unexpectedly Elder brother is one step faster, voicing out this
reason.
He can't see what advantage there would be to go over to the Warrior division. He feels that
refining magic pills in order to rise in level is more important. Thinking this way, he dismisses his
request to avoid being a villain.

"Alright, it's decided. You will all set out the day after tomorrow. Remember to prepare
yourselves."

Seeing that everything is settled, Kong Wen lets them disperse.

Uncle Zhao walks up to his son, patting his head in consolation. How can he not know what his son
is thinking? Undoubtedly he wants to go over to join in the fun and play around with some small
scoundrels over at the Warrior division. It would be better for him to concentrate on refining magic
pills, so he didn't object.

While leaving the Assembly Hall in a daze, You XiaoMo suddenly cries out 'ah'. Fang ChenLe and
Fu ZiLin that were just about to step out turn around. One looking questioningly while the other
frowns.

You XiaoMo doesn't notice. He is completely absorbed in what just came to his mind. Going over
to the Warrior division, doesn't that mean that he will have to see that bloke Ling Xiao? This is
_______ too horrible!

"Little brother XiaoMo, what is it?"

Fang ChenLe walks over and asks him in concern.

The moment You XiaoMo raises his head, he sees Fu ZiLin that is behind Fang ChenLe. Fu ZiLin
glances at him somewhat impatiently. With a start, You XiaoMo quickly shifts his gaze onto the warm
and gentle Elder brother.

"Elder brother, this trip to the Warrior division, how many days will it be?"

Taking advantage that Elder brother is in front of him, he decides to get answers to the parts he
doesn't understand.

"If it goes well, it will only be five days."

Fang ChenLe laughs while speaking. He had forgotten that his little brother probably doesn't know
anything.

"Then if it doesn't go well ne?"

You XiaoMo asks without thinking. Five days is already too long. Wouldn't it be even longer if it
doesn't go well?

"That's hard to say. But you don't have to worry. It won't go longer than ten days. After all,
the Mage divisions also have their own things to take care of and can't stay too long."
Fang ChenLe feels that this little brother is getting cuter every time he sees him, saying whatever
comes to his mind. He can't help but stretch his hand and pat his head.

You XiaoMo is lulled into a daze by the patting. He only comes back to his senses after they had
left. He seems to have been treated like a little kid.

After coming back from the meeting, You XiaoMo quickly asks around about the grand friendly
competition. If he was still the You XiaoMo from over a month ago, most probably no one would
answer him. But after becoming Kong Wen's disciple, the number of people who want to suck up to
him have increased. If it wasn't because he was holed up all this time, the chatterboxes would
probably have told him long ago.

This so called grand friendly competition is actually an internal incentive-based competition held
by TianXin sect so all disciples can participate. But since it's a competition, there will be times when
injuries happen. Internal injuries can be resolved with magic pills. Exterior injuries however cannot
be treated with magic pills so in order to not affect the Warrior division's competition, the mages are
needed. On one hand, they can help with treatment. On the other hand, they can also interact with the
disciples from the warrior division.

This type of policy is actually quite like foreign relations. Furthermore, this is very important for
the Mage divisions because it affects the futures of mages.

Chapter 55

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Warrior division's WuShuang Mountain.As everyone knows, mages don't have combat ability.
Although mages can refine magic pills, their innate talent is not suited to martial arts. Therefore,
normal low and mid level mages need to find a strong and powerful backer. As for high level mages,
they don't have to look for backers. The backers will come looking for them instead. This is because
martial artists need the high level magic pills refined by high level mages.

Therefore, most mages will choose to join a sect. The sect can protect them. Furthermore, if they
perform well, they don't even have go here and there themselves in search of magic herbs.

However, sects also have their own rules. For example, the last time Ling Xiao left on a mission,
they also brought along three mid level mages. Firstly, it is a precautionary measure in case something
happens along the way. Secondly, only mages will be able to pick magic herbs and tell them apart,
especially when it comes to high level magic herbs.

High level magic herbs are different from low level magic herbs. The soul force is needed to pick
them. Otherwise the roots could easily be damaged causing the quality to decrease. This would be
like failing to build something because there is one basket of earth short.

Therefore when TianXin sect sends disciples out on a mission, they would also send a few mages.
Also mages that return from successful missions are allowed to keep ten percent of the magic herbs
they bring back for themselves.

But not everyone is chosen to go on a mission. Some people have not gone a mission with disciples
from the warrior division even though they have joined the sect for ten years.

Therefore the annual grand friendly competition is a chance. A chance to interact with the warrior
division and develop some relationships. If they can leave a good impression, even a low level mage
may be chosen.

After getting this information, You XiaoMo feels that the way of the mage is a really hard road.

The next day, because the magic herbs in the dimension have matured, You XiaoMo spends almost
the whole day in the dimension right up to the day they set off. Elder brother comes over early in the
morning to call him. He lets him prepare the necessary things for the trip before heading over to the
assembly point in front of the Hall of Enchanted Herbs.

This trip to the warrior division, other than the four of them, there are twenty other disciples from
other circles. Even from far, You XiaoMo can hear their excited discussion of the grand friendly
competition. They look very excited except for a few that seem to have gone over before.

The last to arrive is Uncle Zhao, coming just on time. He doesn't say anything unnecessary, just
reminding everyone to stick to the rules and not talk nonsense when they enter the domain of the
warrior division. After that, the whole group set out grandly.

"Little brother, even though this is the first time for you, you must not let out Master lose face
oh. You are now representing our Earth peak."

You XiaoMo was minding his own business, eyes looking at nose, nose looking at heart, when he
suddenly hears someone speaking. He raises his head and sees Big sister NanGong Ying's serious
expression. It's a moment before he realizes that Big sister is speaking to him so he hastily says: "Yes,
please be at ease Big sister. I will definitely mind my actions."

NanGong Ying actually freezes because she didn't expect him to be so earnest, making it hard for
her to continue what she wanted to say.

Fang ChenLe who is walking in front suddenly turns around shaking his head, "Little brother, you
don't have to be so nervous. Your Forth sister is just joking with you. Even though you are
Master's disciple, you have only entered the sect for two months. If Earth peak has to depend on
you to keep up appearances, wouldn't that mean that there is no one left in Earth peak!"

There is truth in those words. You XiaoMo also knows that Elder brother is not belittling him so he
nods in agreement.

NanGong Ying also doesn't feel embarrassed after having the rug pulled from beneath her by her
own Elder brother. She quickly gets into the same groove as them and soon teases You XiaoMo again.
But he is no longer fooled since he now knows her character.

This Forth sister is actually very considerate. Afraid that he doesn't mix well with the others, she
would frequently talk to him for the whole trip.

Even though the Mage and Warrior divisions are from the same sect, the groups are actually
separated by a mountain. If one does not go by flying but rather by walking, it would take the time to
burn half a joss stick to get there.

But for mages that frequently walk down the mountain, this is not far at all. After the time it takes to
burn half a joss stick, they finally make it around the mountain. The warrior division is now in front of
them.

Used to the grandeur of Earth peak, You XiaoMo had thought there wouldn't be another mountain
that would take his breath away. Who knew that just separated by one mountain there would be an
even grander mountain than Earth peak.

The entire WuShuang Mountain gives off a towering and majestic air. A line cuts across the lofty
mountain. The top part is wrapped in billowing waves of clouds that can topple mountains and
overturn seas. The magnificence is boundless. A feeling of insignificance emerges unconsciously in
all of them who are standing at the foot of the mountain when looking up at the mountain. Even the
disciples who have seen it before feel equally awed.
"Is this the the group of Uncle Zhao Zhen?" Someone from the Warrior division that had long
been waiting respectfully for the arrival of this big group of disciples immediately walks over.

Uncle Zhao gives a faint nod, in the manner of a senior. That disciple doesn't dare to delay even a
little, quickly inviting them in.

The disciples of the Warrior division are distributed over the five peaks of the mountain into five
lineages. They are the East lineage, West lineage, South lineage, North lineage and Central lineage.
The disciples taking part in this grand friendly competition are from these five lineages. As for the
place of the competition, it will be held on the huge plateau halfway up WuShuang Mountain.

That plateau is called Sudden Lightning Plateau. According to legend, the founder of TianXin sect
used divine power to open up this plateau. Also, every month there will be a day when lightning will
strike the plateau, hence the name of Sudden Lightning Plateau.

Because the competition will only start tomorrow, Uncle Zhao lets them go around on their own for
now, only restricting them to not wander far.

Chapter 56

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Dream.Fang ChenLe knows that it is You XiaoMo's first time here so he plans to take him on a
walk to look around. You XiaoMo doesn't refuse. After all he will be spending the next five days here
so he should really familiarize himself beforehand. The only thing that surprises him is that Fu ZiLin
doesn't appear.

Fang ChenLe sees him looking around and guesses what he is looking for, "Your Second brother
is resting in his own room. He doesn't like places with a lot of people."

You XiaoMo nods. He can see that from Second brother's character.

"Elder brother, do you have a very good relationship with Second brother?"

The two of them walk shoulder to shoulder heading out when You XiaoMo suddenly asks.

"We have known each other since we were little. Does Little brother think we have a good
relationship?"

Fang ChenLe smiles as he answers the question with a question.

You XiaoMo rubs his head awkwardly. He knows that his words were a little uncalled for but he
was looking for a topic of conversation when that cold as ice Second brother just came to his mind.

Fang ChenLe says: "Actually don't look at Ah Lin's ice-cold exterior. He is really an outwardly
cold but inwardly warm person. It's just that for various reasons he looks difficult to get along
with. But if you spend some time with him, you will find that he is really different from what he
looks like on the outside."

You XiaoMo hesitates before asking, "May I ask why?"

"It's fine. After all, it's not an unspeakable secret."

Fang ChenLe says with a sigh, "The reality is Ah Lin's dream is not to be an outstanding mage.
Since young, his biggest dream was to soar in the air freely as a martial artist, but ......."

He doesn't have to continue. You XiaoMo can pretty much guess the rest of it.

For a man of ambition, the road of a mage is undoubtedly one of broken dreams.

Although mages are also very amazing, they can only refine magic pills. Unless they become high
level mages, they have to attach themselves to someone with power.
Fang ChenLe looks ahead and suddenly reveals a contented smile, "But, although Ah Lin doesn't
have the natural talent to be a martial artist, he is actually a genius when it comes to refining
magic pills. If he didn't have to frequently make trips down the mountain to look for magic
herbs, each time for over a month at that, he most probably would have surpassed me a long
time ago."

"I didn't know that Second brother is so awesome."

You XiaoMo praises with sparkling eyes.

"Yes ah, Ah Lin is really very amazing. That's why even the Grand Master values him. Each
time he wants to go down the mountain, he will send two high level people to protect him."

Fang ChenLe beams while he nods. In his opinion, as long as Ah Lin is happy, it doesn't matter
what he does. Although he has no way of helping him to fulfill his dream, as his closest friend, he will
always support him.

You XiaoMo inclines his head and looks at Fang ChenLe's smiling face. He suddenly feels that the
Elder brother right now is a real Elder brother.

The two of them carry on walking and chatting. Engrossed in chatting, they only realize where they
are when they have already walked out of the West side. The West side is where the Earth peak
disciples are staying. The other areas are the East side, South side, and North side. The Flying peak
disciples are at East side while the Heaven peak disciples are at the South side. As for the North
side, it is reserved for distinguished foreign guests.

Fang ChenLe realizes that they have walked into the East side so he calmly decides to head back
with You XiaoMo but right at that moment, a group of people walk up to them.

You XiaoMo takes a clearer look and suddenly gets the impulse to cut off his own two feet.
Enemies on a narrow road ah, enemies on a narrow road. This is the third time he meets this princess
Tang YunQi, and all within two months. He also purposely secludes himself and rarely goes out. This
kind of frequency and they actually meet again. This type of coincidence can only be called 'ape shit'.

But in hindsight, since each of the three peaks sent people over, that Tang YunQi would definitely
be on the list. And since the West side and the South side are also so close to each other, the
probability of meeting is higher than he imagined.

Of course Tang YunQi also catches sight of him. Her face sinks and she suddenly walks towards
them. After standing firmly in front of them, she smiles coldly and says: "You XiaoMo. I didn't
expect to see you here. You really have some guts. Let me give you some advice. This is no longer
Earth peak. You better be careful lest you meet with a big misfortune."

You XiaoMo mouth tightens slightly. He now knows that this princess won't let him off.

Fang ChenLe frowns slightly. He had heard rumors about Tang YunQi but he didn't expect her to be
so arrogant.

"Junior sister Tang, you have no quarrel with Little brother XiaoMo. Why are you being so
aggressive!"

Tang YunQi glares at him and laughs coldly saying: "No quarrel? If Big Brother Fang wants to
pretend to not understand, there's nothing I can do about it. But let me advise you, this is
between him and me. It's best that Big brother Fang doesn't interfere."

A flash of displeasure appears in Fang ChenLe's eyes. Just when he is about to speak, You XiaoMo
suddenly pulls his hand.

"Elder brother, don't get angry with with her because of me."

You XiaoMo sees that Fang ChenLe is getting angry so he knows that he can't let this get any
further. Even Elder brother, the one that everyone at Earth peak considers as good natured, can be
angered by Tang YunQi. This clearly shows the knack she has to drive people crazy and forsake one's
life.

"Little brother ....... "

Fang ChenLe feels that his little brother is really too passive. He doesn't know that You XiaoMo
only feels that it is unnecessary to haggle over every ounce with this type of people. Because the more
you argue, the other person's arrogance will only get worse.

Right then, a group of people walk in under the close-by arched stone gate. As if seeing the group
of people gathered, those few people simply walk up to them. The one in front is surprisingly the one
that You XiaoMo has not seen for a few days, Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao has a fondness for white. He is dressed as usual in a luxurious white robe. Elegant and
dashing, he is the focal point wherever he goes.

Tang YunQi sees him and immediately her cold sneer is replaced with delight. She lifts up her lotus
feet and runs towards him calling him happily: "Elder brother, why are you here? Are you here to
see me?"

Ling Xiao gives her an indifferent glance then looks at You XiaoMo who is three meters away. Just
when he is about to call him, his eyes fall on his hand that is still clutching Fang ChenLe. He suddenly
narrows his eyes.

You XiaoMo can almost feel the hot scalding gaze that falls on his hand. He quickly withdraws his
hand in fright.

Chapter 57

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Mistakenly touched.Ling Xiao doesn't bother with Tang YunQi that is looking at him expectantly,
and simply walks up to You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo sees that he isn't saying anything while continuing to look at him and Elder brother.
He hesitates before laughing uncomfortably and asking cautiously: "Elder brother Ling, why are you
here?"

"What's the matter? Am I being a bother to your tender and loving time with your Elder
brother?"

Ling Xiao raises his brow slightly.

Seeing his expression, You XiaoMo knows that he is angry but he doesn't know why. So he can
only explain: "No, you misunderstand. Because it's my first time here, so Elder brother is taking
me around to familiarize myself with the surroundings."

"Little brother."

Ling Xiao suddenly smiles, walks over and intimately drapes his arm over his shoulder.

You XiaoMo feels a little terrified, surreptitiously glancing at Ling Xiao's arm that is draped over
his shoulder. What is he up to?

Ling Xiao looks at him and says warmly, "Next time you feel like taking a walk, tell me
beforehand. Elder brother will personally go with you. It doesn't matter where you want to go,
understand?"

You XiaoMo immediately nods his head like a chick pecking rice. That last word was said in a
threatening tone. If he were to shake his head, it would be tantamount to seeking his own death.

Ling Xiao nods in satisfaction, having no intention of removing the arm from his shoulder.

At this time, everyone is already shocked speechless by their intimate actions. It seems Elder
brother Lin Xiao has never been so close to anyone before. Not even with his own disciples. What
more a disciple from Earth peak.

Before this, some had thought that the rumors were partly false. But now, seeing with their own
eyes, the reality is even more extreme than the rumors.

The ones that suffered the biggest shock is not the people from Heaven peak but rather the few
disciples that came with Ling Xiao. Each one of their jaws fall to the ground, looking at this scene
unfolding in front of their eyes with horror.

"Elder brother. This junior brother, can it be Earth peak's Uncle Kong's newest seventh
disciple, You XiaoMo?"

A young man steps up from the crowd. It's Junior brother Zhou Peng that Ling Xiao met after
returning to TianXin sect. The one that has absolute trust in Lin Xiao.

As for the rumors about Elder brother and You XiaoMo, Zhou Peng had heard a little about it. He
was worried that the latter got closer to Elder brother harboring ulterior motives so he sent people to
look into it. Later, when he found out that he was only a probationary disciple, he figured that this
person probably wouldn't be able to stir up great winds or huge waves so he simply put it aside.
Right up to the time he heard news about his being accepted as Uncle Kong's disciple.

Being accepted as the disciple by one of the three great mages of TianXin sect for no rhyme or
reason, Zhou Peng feels that this You XiaoMo is most probably not an ordinary person. This rouses
his suspicions again so he again asked around about him. But all the information he received is
related to Elder brother. Thus Zhou Peng realizes that the way Elder brother treats him is not as
simple as he imagined.

Seeing that one speaking is Zhou Peng, Ling Xiao smiles, "Such a rare meeting, let me introduce
all of you."

The other two Junior brothers can't help looking at each other. Elder brother is actually introducing
him to them. Looks like he really thinks a lot of You XiaoMo.

Ling Xiao pulls You XiaoMo to his front and holds him from behind. He points to Zhou Peng and
the others saying: "These are all my junior brothers. From right to left is Zhou Peng, Qin ShiYu,
and Luo Xia. You can just call them Big brother."

"Big brother Zhou, Big brother Qin, Big brother Luo, pleased to meet you!" You XiaoMo
greets them somewhat stiffly.

"Very pleased to make your acquaintance, Junior brother You!"

Zhou Peng and the others reply one after the other with no hint of contempt.

This brotherly scene seems to stab blind the eyes of Tang YunQi. Seeing Elder brother intimately
hug You XiaoMo with her own eyes, she is so jealous to the point of losing her mind. She still can't
understand what it is that You XiaoMo has to make Elder brother suddenly give him such special
treatment.

Not wanting to stay any longer and be further humiliated, Tang YunQi glares hatefully at the uneasy
You XiaoMo before turning around and running out of the South side.

You XiaoMo's smile is now fixed stiffly on his face. He thinks about the overlooked Fang ChenLe
standing at his side.

Zhou Peng and the others have long ago heard of Fang ChenLe since he is Earth peak's Elder
disciple. They also met him last year during the grand annual friendly competition. But they only
exchanged a few words since the ones working with them have always been the people from Heaven
peak.

After exchanging a few words of greetings, Ling Xiao leaves behind a 'I'll come look for you
tomorrow' before leaving with his three junior brothers.

Seeing them walk further into the South side, Fang ChenLe withdraws his pensive gaze and looks
over to You XiaoMo. The latter is right in the act of wiping the sweat of his brow, seeming to be very
relieved, causing him to raise his brow.

"Little brother ......."

"Elder brother. Little brother."

A monotone voice comes from the front, cutting off what Fang ChenLe wants to say.

The two of them turn around and see Fu ZiLin that is standing just outside the South side gate. Tall
and handsome but wrapped in cold detachment like wintry ice that remains unchanged throughout the
year.

Fang ChenLe knows that this is not a chance encounter. He is eighty percent sure that Fu ZiLin is
looking for them, and probably for some urgent matter. If not, with his nature, he won't leave the room
of his own accord without someone urging him.

Talking while walking, Fang ChenLe finds out that it is Uncle Zhao that is looking for him, thus
reminding him of something.

Most probably Uncle Zhao wants to discuss tomorrow's arrangements. Because there are many
more disciples in the warrior division than the mage division, and also because all five warrior
division lineages will be taking part, the mages must be evenly assigned beforehand to avoid chaos
when the time comes.

You XiaoMo thinks that this has nothing to do with him so he is about to take his leave when he
hears Elder brother say 'You will come along'.

There are five lineages in the Warrior division, with the Central lineage being the strongest. The
Central lineage is different from the other four lineages. The younger generation with the highest
strength are brought into the Central lineage. They are the cream of the crop chosen from the East,
South, West, and North lineages. Ling Xiao is from the Central lineage, and also is the Central
lineage's strongest 'disciple'. Zhou Peng and the other two are also the same.

But the competition for the Central lineage is different from the other four lineages. Because their
strength is too high, the Central lineage competition is separate from that of the other four lineages.
What Uncle Zhao wants to discuss involves the Central lineage. The disciples of the Central
lineage are the core disciples of TianXin sect. Each of them is a rare talent. TianXin sect is also
prepared to nurture them wholeheartedly. So, their future status in TianXin sect will definitely be
higher that the other four lineages.

But because they are the core disciples, information about them cannot be leaked out. So the
assigned mages must be discreet.

Zhao Zhen's suggestion is to send Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin. They are the most senior, with
spotless backgrounds, so they are the best choice.

Unexpectedly the first one to object is Fang ChenLe. On top of that, he wants to send You XiaoMo
and Fu ZiLin together. This surprises not only Zhao Zhen. Even You XiaoMo feels that he is hearing
things.

Zhao Zhen expected the first one to object would be Fu ZiLin, "Why?"

"Uncle, ChenLe as the Elder brother has the duty to look after the other brothers. If I were to
go with Second brother, and something unexpected happens, you also won't be there, so what
would happen? Of course, it's not that I don't trust Fourth sister but I'm afraid she won't be
able to cope by herself."

"But, your Seventh brother just entered the sect two months ago."

Zhao Zhen knows that what he says is not wrong but he still has one doubt.

Fang ChenLe had long ago thought about this issue, "Uncle, if you are worried, you can let
Seventh brother take a vow."

Zhao Zhen looks at the determined Fang ChenLe, and then looks at the shocked You XiaoMo,
before finally sighing while nodding, "Alright, let's do it like you suggested, but ....... "

"Don't worry Uncle. If something happens, I will bear the responsibility myself."

Hearing his last word, Fang ChenLe knows what he wants to say. Without the slightest hesitation he
takes on the responsibility.

Leaving Zhao Zhen's room, on the way back, You XiaoMo finally can't take it longer and asks the
question in his heart, "Elder brother, why did you recommend that I go?"

"You seem to have a good relationship with Lin Xiao ba. But you seem to be afraid of him?"

Fang ChenLe doesn't give him a real answer, instead asking him one in return.

"Uh, it's not really like that ....... "


You XiaoMo has no way of explaining the reasons behind it.

Fang ChenLe doesn't pressure him further, just saying: "Tang YunQi is someone that would seek
revenge over an angry look. This time, you have insulted her. She will definitely plan to hurt you
from the shadows. Me and Uncle Zhao can't always be looking after you but it's different for
Lin Xiao. His standing is even more stronger than Tang YunQi. With you right under his eyes,
one would think that even Tang YunQi won't dare to go overboard."

"So Elder brother did that for me?"

You XiaoMo looks wide-eyed at Fang ChenLe.

Elder brother actually gave up this great opportunity of his own accord for him. Such magnanimity,
such sense of brotherhood, it really makes him feel very touched.

"Of course not."

Seeing his face brimming with emotion, Fang ChenLe can guess what he is thinking. He laughs *pu
chi*. This little brother is really too naive, "What I just said to Uncle Zhao is the truth. Before we
set out, Master urged me to take good care of the group of disciples. So, even if you're not here,
I would also suggest someone else."

You XiaoMo immediately 囧. Fine, it seems he did read too much into it.

Note:囧 - emoticon for Orz

Chapter 58

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Top grade magic pills.You XiaoMo opens the door of his room but when he sees the person
outside, the corner of his eye suddenly twitches. Someone clearly said that he will look for him
tomorrow morning. But now is obviously night time. Furthermore, it has only been six hours since
they met during the day.

Ling Xiao couldn't care less about what he is thinking. He simply pushes open the other door and
walks in. His overbearing manner makes people think that this is his room. After taking a seat, a pair
of warm yet sharp eyes stare fixedly at You XiaoMo. This is simply a cudgel on top of sugarcoated
bullets!

You XiaoMo's scalp start to feel numb from his stare. He quickly shuts the room door before
walking up to him. He carefully steals a glance at his face and thinks back to what happened these few
days. It doesn't seem as if he did anything to provoke him so he just asks, "Elder brother Ling,
didn't you say that we will meet tomorrow? Why are you here now?"

"Listening to your tone of voice, are you not happy to see me?"

Ling Xiao raises his brow slightly but doesn't reveal what he is thinking.

You XiaoMo shivers, "No, you can come whenever you feel like it."

There's no way he dares to oppose. He is not yet bored of living. He has already somewhat figured
out Ling Xiao's dictatorial character.

Ling Xiao stares at his face, as if he wants to dig out a hole. Only when You XiaoMo seems to can't
bear it any longer, does he quietly withdraws his gaze, "I never imagined that you would make it
on the list."

"List? What list?"

You XiaoMo is confused.

"What? Don't tell 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 has yet to hear of it, Ling Xiao explains it to him.

You XiaoMo blinks a few times. He just discussed that this afternoon with Elder brother and Uncle
Zhao. I didn't expect Ling Xiao to find out so quickly. He is really too well-informed. But thinking of
his standing and status in the Warrior division, he feels that it is only to be expected.
"I know about that. Uncle Zhao looked for us this afternoon to talk about it. It was supposed
to be Elder brother and Second brother. But Elder brother wants to take care of the other
disciples so he let me take his place. This time it will me and Second brother going to the
Central lineage."

You XiaoMo shakes his head while explaining the situation. After all, it is not a secret.

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes and looks at his slightly smiling face, "This Elder brother of yours,
he seems to treat you a little too nicely ba?"

These words make You XiaoMo think of this afternoon's misunderstanding. His cheeks suddenly
start to flush a pale pink. Really too embarrassing!

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

"Elder brother Ling, is there something else?"

You XiaoMo suddenly shivers remembering that there is someone else in the room. But by the time
he looks at Ling Xiao, the latter's face is back to what it was before, so calm that it seems that the
whole scene just now is just an illusion.

Ling Xiao looks somewhat meaningfully at You XiaoMo. That gaze is like a little dagger, seeming
to cut from top to bottom. Slowly and carefully scraping over, not missing even a tiny bit. The latter
feels 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 Earth peak then you can make up for
it."

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

Although it is beyond his imagination, it really happened. This really surprised him beyond belief.
But when he hears the rest of his words, all of his grateful emotions seems 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 raises his brow while looking at him.

You XiaoMo's shoulders shake a little, "I understand."

Ling Xiao stands up, "So be it, I will personally come pick you up tomorrow."
You XiaoMo cries 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.

"If not ne?"

Ling Xiao asks him indifferently. Of course he is 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 likes Fang ChenLe so much, he purposely doesn't want to let them have the
opportunity to spend time together. So he of course will come as early as possible to take him to
avoid them interacting with each other where he can't see. He doesn't know why he doesn't like it
when he sees You XiaoMo's reaction but since it is like that, he just does what he wants.

You XiaoMo shakes his head. He knows that Ling Xiao is getting angry. But he still can't figure out
what he did to make Ling Xiao this angry. Thinking it over, it doesn't seem he did anything.

After Ling Xiao leaves, You XiaoMo still can't figure it out so he decides to forget about it.

Although Uncle Zhao allowed them to have a good rest tonight since they will have things to do
tomorrow, You XiaoMo doesn't want to waste time.

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

Acting out his thoughts, You XiaoMo immediately locks the room door and brings out the cauldron
that is always stuck to his side from his magic bag. The cauldron is still the same one that Earth peak
provided. Black and heavy, unattractive in outward appearance.

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

But that is only one reason. The most important reason is buying one will make people suspicious.
He is a child from an impoverished family. Entering the sect for two months, how could he possibly
have money to buy a good cauldron?

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

You XiaoMo takes out twelve stalks of magic herbs from the dimension. He doesn't dare to take out
too much. Although he had already locked the door, there is no guarantee that someone won't barge in.

The twelve stalks of magic herbs are materials for the Fasting magic pill. The last time he went
down the mountain, he conveniently asked around and figured out that there is a considerable market
for the Fasting magic pill.
Some martial artists can do away with eating and drinking once they reach a certain level. But not
everyone has this ability. Such as normal people, three meals a day is a must. And then there are those
lower level martial artists and even mages themselves.

Adding up all these people, amounts to a huge number. But as everyone knows, the Fasting magic
pill is only available as low quality magic pills. Mid-grade and top-grade magic pills are very rare.
Even if they exist, they would be taken by those with money and influence. It's clear how considerable
the market for the Fasting magic pill is.

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

You XiaoMo feels a little excited. He didn't expect that elevating the quality of the magic herbs
will 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 releases his soul
force. After over a month of training, his soul force is stronger than before, purer than before.

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

Although there is no guarantee, fortunately he has already practiced it over a thousand times. Going
through the motions he doesn't feel it is especially difficult. But after refining it once, he feels like the
will is there but the ability is not. It's not because his soul force is insufficient but the remaining
impurities can't seem to be removed no matter what he does. In the end, he can only go ahead and start
the blending step.

Because the quality of the magic herbs is not the same, in order to avoid failing, You XiaoMo
proceeds with extreme concentration. Five simple steps. He doesn't dare to make any mistakes. Each
step is carried out with utmost care. He seems to be more absorbed than ever. Even if someone were
to knock at the door, he most probably won't hear it.

Half a joss stick later!

You XiaoMo looks at the magic pill lying in the palm of his hand while wiping off a handful of
sweat. A very deep dark blue color.

This is what they call a top grade magic pill. The medicinal fragrance contained in the magic pill is
stronger than any low grade magic pill he has ever smelled. The whole room seems to be flooded
with this medicinal fragrance.
You XiaoMo looks at it contentedly. When he shows it to Ling Xiao tomorrow, he would definitely
be very happy. When he's happy, he shouldn't be angry any more ba?

Chapter 59

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Pick up.The next day, You XiaoMo wakes up very early and is still full or vigor. Last night he
refined magic pills for almost six hours. But that was with the help of the magic water. The effect is
really extraordinary. He doesn't feel the least bit tired. He then heads towards the front of the West
side to assemble with the rest.

Just when Uncle Zhao is dividing up the people, Ling Xiao appears. Not a minute earlier, not a
minute later.

Upon seeing Ling Xiao, the Earth peak disciples all feel very curious. Although he did go to the
Earth peak canteen the last time, not everyone saw him. Most of the people's impression of Ling Xiao
are still based on the rumors they heard before.

But thinking of the recent rumors, everyone turns to look at You XiaoMo. Ling Xiao showing up
here most probably means he is here to see You XiaoMo ba!

"Uncle Zhao."

Although Ling Xiao is here to pick up You XiaoMo, he is not that arrogant to ignore Uncle Zhao.

Although with respect to his status and standing, Uncle Zhao really nobody in his eyes. But although
the original Lin Xiao is arrogant, he still treats the elders very politely. Since he is now playing the
part of Lin Xiao, it's better if his character doesn't depart too much from the original.

Uncle Zhao had also the heard the rumors about Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo but he never did give
it much thought. Now, seeing that Ling Xiao is here personally, and seeing the reactions of the other
disciples looking towards You XiaoMo, he more or less figures it out. But although he understands,
Uncle Zhao doesn't say it out, only asking, "Nephew Lin, are you here to receive the disciples?"

Ling Xiao raises the corner of his lips saying smoothly, "To tell Uncle Zhao the truth, Ling Xiao
is here to pick up Little brother You."

Standing among the people, You XiaoMo feels his eyelids twitch. Even if he is here to pick him up,
does he have to stress the word 'Little'? Although he is not yet an adult, he is definitely not the
youngest one here. Among them, there is still one that is a year younger than him.

"Nephew Fu also wants to go, if Nephew Lin doesn't mind, could you let Nephew Fu go along
with the both of you to the Central lineage?"

Zhao Zhen nods his head, with Lin Xiao bringing them over, he feels more at ease. So he doesn't
object and even hands Fu ZiLin over to him. Speaking about that, the one he is most worried about is
Fu ZiLin. This disciple looks very even-tempered but in reality he is actually very stubborn.
"I don't mind."

Ling Xiao beams while replying. Zhao Zhen's suggestion was what he expected. As long as it's not
Fang ChenLe, any other disciple would be fine.

Zhao Zhen immediately feels relieved and calls out Fu ZiLin and You XiaoMo.

The Central lineage is not the same as the other lineages. The atmosphere is more serious. The
most unacceptable thing is being a blabber a mouth or enquiring about the internal matters. Therefore,
after Zhao Zhen calls them up to the front, he strongly urges them to not do things that are uncalled for.
They must abide to what the elders put in place. He repeats his advice to stress its importance.

Even though Fu ZiLin is as cold as ice, hearing these words he nods his head slightly. Although the
action is small, Zhao Zhen knows that he understands.

You XiaoMo doesn't dare to answer Zhao Zhen as indifferently as Fu ZiLin. When he finished
speaking, he nods his head vigorously and also says that he understands.

Seeing their repeated assurances, Zhao Zhen finally feels at ease and hands them over to Ling Xiao.

With that, the three of them head towards the Central lineage. At this time, the friendly competition
has yet to begin.

You XiaoMo walks in the middle, strongly feeling that he is walking in the wrong position. To his
left is a walking iceberg, frequently releasing puffs of cold air. To his right, is a wolf in sheep's
clothing, able to turn into the devil at any time.

He didn't realize it before so this is the tragic result. When he thinks of changing positions, Ling
Xiao's meaningful look falls on him again and again, scaring him stiff such that he can't even think of
changing positions. He proceeds in this uncomfortable situation all the way to the Central lineage.

The Central lineage is located on the highest peak of WuShuang mountain. That enormous peak is
located behind the other four lineages. And behind that is an endless sea of clouds.

Ling Xiao brings them there via a relatively remote route so they don't meet other disciples from
the Warrior division along the way. Finally they stop in front of a huge temple gate. A black gold-
rimmed plaque hangs on top of the gate. On the plaque is written grandly two words - Central lineage.
The imposing air is quite extraordinary. People of lower strength would feel uncomfortable looking at
it.

The person who wrote those words must be very powerful. Just glancing at it, You XiaoMo's heart
starts to beat faster. He can't help feeling his heart waver. But it's only for a moment. Although he is
not a martial artist, his soul is stronger and more resilient that normal people. This cannot be
separated from him practicing the [Heavenly Soul Scroll]. If it was one of his other brothers, they
might not feel this way.

Fu ZiLin is a level four mage. His soul force is much stronger than You XiaoMo's. The power of
the two words have no effect on him.

As for Ling Xiao, don't even talk of making an impression on him. It wouldn't even be strange if the
person who wrote these two words is in awe of him.

You XiaoMo shakes his head and finally shakes of that feeling. He raises his head and run into Ling
Xiao's gaze at him. The latter is expressionless. Seeing that he is fine, Ling Xiao withdraws his gaze.
You XiaoMo then sees Ling Xiao take out a black tablet from his chest and throw it through the temple
gate.

The still air start to ripple outwards. The black tablet looks as if it is sinking into a swamp, slowly
swallowed up by the ripples and finally disappears. You XiaoMo has seen this type of phenomenon
before in the library.

When he wanted to take the books off the shelves, he also needed a tablet. Later he learned that the
bookshelves are protected by a barrier. If you don't take the tablet from the old man guarding the
library, even if you manage to enter the library, you still won't be able to take the books off the
shelves. On top of that, you will also be discovered.

Now this situation most probably means that this is also a barrier. That black tablet is simply the
key to open the barrier.

After having experienced it so many times, it is not unexpected that You XiaoMo is no longer
shocked by these strange happenings. In fact, the happenings in this world have long surpassed the
scientific reasoning he is familiar with in his past life. If he still wants to use scientific reasoning to
explain all of these unscientific events, he might as well put a knife to his own throat and kill himself.

Although the temple gate doesn't change, after the tablet disappears, You XiaoMo knows that they
can now enter.

Fu ZiLin doesn't wait for Ling Xiao to speak, and walks ahead into the gate.

You XiaoMo wants to follow closely but he suddenly remembers his uncomfortable position. Right
at this moment of hesitation, his shoulder is pulled and held with a strength that can't be easily denied.
A familiar scent floods his nose. If it's not Ling Xiao, who else can it be?

"Beloved little brother. If you don't want to walk, I can carry you oh."

Shallow laughter floats above his head.

You XiaoMo unconsciously pictures himself being carried by Ling Xiao. Goosebumps immediately
spring up. It's really too scary okay. He then immediately runs for his life chasing after Fu ZiLin.

Ling Xiao looks at his escaping back before raising his head and having a good laugh.

Chapter 60

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Share a room.Personally picked up by Ling Xiao, it must be said that this is an extreme honor. After
the news got out, practically everyone wants to see what that little brother who was personally picked
up by Ling Xiao looks like.

Lin Xiao is an extremely talented person envied by all. Although he can be insolent and reckless or
cold and aloof, it still doesn't change his place in the hearts of his brothers. Especially now that he
has changed a little.

Ever since that time he came back from his trip down the mountain, his character has changed.
Before, Lin Xiao only had one expression on his face - indifferent. No matter if he is concerned about
you or alienating you.

But the current Lin Xiao is no longer the same. A warm smile often hangs on his handsome face.
His voice sounds more pleasing to the ear. A thread of mischief and wickedness runs through his
gentle and unrestrained nature. Bursting with magnetism, one cannot deny that under the allure of his
gentle like jade voice and smiling face, more and more brothers are captivated by his charm.

It's not as if nobody doubts this change in Lin Xiao. The fact is, the first day Ling Xiao returned to
TianXin sect, he already caught the attention of a few wily old foxes. When the two of them met, Tang
Fan already probed Ling Xiao but he failed to find anything questionable. As for the others, they only
found out about the change in 'Lin Xiao' later on. TianXin sect, as a major sect needs to exercise
caution in every respect. So other people also probed Ling Xiao but just like Tang Fan, they failed to
find anything questionable. That's because the current Ling Xiao knows about the various secrets of
TianXin sect. But what they never expected is that it is actually from Lin Xiao's memory.

But compared to Lin Xiao from before, the current Ling Xiao's personality is much more likable, so
many more brothers want to get closer to him. In just one short month, most of the brothers and sisters
in the Warrior division have been won over by him. Even those that could not be won over by Lin
Xiao are now firmly in Ling Xiao's camp. The current Ling Xiao's standing in the Warrior division is
much higher than that of original Lin Xiao. So, when You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao show up together, it
immediately attracts a large crowd of onlookers.

"Elder brother, this is the little brother. He looks ....... not bad ma!"

"Oh, not bad, it's the type I like."

"Turns out the person that Elder brother personally went to pick up his him ah. I've seen him
before. It's Earth peak's outstanding talent Fu ZiLin, the famous poker face?"

You XiaoMo, "......."


Fu ZiLin, "......."

Ling Xiao, "haha!!"

With all of them talking on top of each other, it's completely different from what has been said
about the Central lineage disciples, described by outsiders as mysterious and elitist. They are
unexpectedly ....... chatty. It's only that their attention is focused on the wrong target.

Zhou Peng supports his forehead with his hand, "You are all wrong. It's not him."

The discussion immediately dies down. Then You XiaoMo walks out hesitatingly from behind Fu
ZiLin. In an instant, pairs of eyes shoot at him like X-rays. Shrinking his neck, he wonders if he can
step back from this battlefield.

"What a cute little fella. Not even eighteen ba?"

"Phew, that's more like it ma. How can Elder brother like a poker face?" Big sigh of relief.

"Looks like Elder brother likes the small and weak type. No wonder he didn't accept his
previous pursuers. If I had known, I would not have learned the QingGang sword technique."

"Gross, it wouldn't change anything even if you didn't learn it. Look at your bear-like
nature." says a junior brother in disgust.

"Impudent brat, how can you speak to your big sister like that? How am I like a bear?"

You XiaoMo blushes beet red from their words. Ling Xiao likes him? Not possible. Although Ling
Xiao did help him out a lot, it's all in exchange for his hard work. On top of that, he had also agreed
to many unfair agreements on his part.

Ling Xiao is relatively thick-skinned. Seemingly unfazed by their words. After saying a few words,
he lets them go handle the preparations for the competition. He then takes You XiaoMo and Fu ZiLin
to their rooms.

It's just that the Central lineage is not the same as the other four lineages. The Central lineage is a
forbidden place for people that don't have business here. So usually, there are no visitors. Because of
that, there are no guest rooms, so they will have to cram in and share rooms with others.

But after Ling Xiao explains this, the one with the biggest reaction is actually You XiaoMo.

"You you you ....... you mean, I have to sleep in the same room with you?"

You XiaoMo looks at Ling Xiao in disbelief.

"Central lineage has no guest rooms. All the previous competitions also have multiple people
sharing one room. It can't be that your Elder brother didn't tell you about it ma?"
Ling Xiao beams as he speaks. From the tone of his voice, he seems to be in a good mood.

You XiaoMo's mouth hangs slightly open. He really didn't hear anything about this from Elder
brother. He always thought that everyone will have their own room.

"Where is my room?"

Fu ZiLin who hasn't said a word the whole time finally opens his mouth. He accepts the reality
much more readily than You XiaoMo. This is also his first time in the Central lineage but his mental
toughness is much more resilient than You XiaoMo's. On top of that, there is his cold as ice nature,
making it unthinkable that he would bother to squabble about trivial things. That's because there is
really only one outcome, that is to accept it!

Ling Xiao smiles as he points to the neighboring room, "Next door is Junior brother Zhou's
room. You will have to stay with him for the next few days."

Fu ZiLin nods his head indifferently. He then walks right over, pushes the door open and *peng*
shuts it again. The whole process is straight to the point, not the tiniest bit of hesitation, as if he has
done it many times before.

You XiaoMo looks at him with eyes wide open and mouth agape. But thinking of his own situation
he simply can't take it. If he has to share a room with someone else, he can still accept it. But the
person he has to share a room with is Ling Xiao that loves to make fun of him. Such an extremely
mean person!

"Elder brother Ling, was this assigned beforehand?"

You XiaoMo suspects that Ling Xiao is abusing his power.

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes as a flash of wickedness seems to emerge. A devilish hint appears in
his eyes but he maintains his gentle and amiable smile. A relaxed drawl can be heard, "Do you mean
to say that you would rather room with someone else than share a room with me?"

"No no ....... "

You XiaoMo's head shakes like a drum-shaped rattle. He feels that his eyes are getting blurry.

"Don't forget, with the situation you're in, you can only stay with me. If someone were to find out
about the secrets on you, do you think that other than me, there is someone else that would help you
conceal the secret of your magic water dimension?

You XiaoMo can't help but feel guilty. He really only now just thought about this issue.

Ling Xiao is right. He holds such a huge secret on his chest. If someone were to discover his
secret, it would most probably spell the end of this life. So he is left with no other choice but to stay
together with Ling Xiao.
Seeing his lowered crestfallen face, accepting his fate, Ling Xiao gleefully puts his arm around his
shoulder. He beams as he says: "Let's go ba little brother. I'll let you take a look at Lin Xiao's room.
Do you know that you are the lucky first one? None of your other brothers have had the pleasure.

You XiaoMo pouts. He himself doesn't wish the be the lucky one.

Notes:seven mouths, eight tongues - talking all at once

not dragging mud, not carrying water - no nonsense

Chapter 61

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Sleep with me.The arena for the Central lineage's competition is the large piece of empty land to
the left of the temple gate. This is also where the Central lineage disciples regularly practice. After
being chosen as the location for the competition, a large enclosed arena was erected. Because the
number of Central lineage disciples is not as many as the other four lineages and because they are
core disciples of extraordinary talent, the competition will be single one to one rounds.

Although the time for the competition has not arrived, there are still a lot of people gathered here.
In the past, the brothers and sisters would be talking about matters concerning the competition. Like if
there's a dark horse or results of the rankings but this year it's a little different. What everyone is
talking about seems to be all about You XiaoMo. Especially a certain jealous to the point of death
young girl.

"You're saying that brother Xiao is really staying in the same room with that You XiaoMo?"

Tang YunQi's heart is seized with jealousy to point of insanity. Heaven knows that when she heard
this news, how much she wanted to rush over to Lin Xiao's room and drag You XiaoMo out even if it
costs her life. She has not even stayed in brother Xiao's room for over an hour and You XiaoMo
actually will be living there!

The few disciples from the same peak who regularly hang out with Tang YunQi glance at each
other. When they first heard about it, they also didn't believe it.

Among them, a delicate and pretty young girl nods her head, saying with certainty, "Junior sister
Tang, this is really the case. I saw the list yesterday. You XiaoMo's name is listed behind Elder
brother."

"Why?"

Tang YunQi complains bitterly.

The young girl hesitates before saying, "It seems as if Elder brother personally requested that
You XiaoMo stays with him."

Tang YunQi grips her five fingers into tight fists, squeezing to the point that her knuckles turn white
and give out clear *pi pa* sounds. Raging flames flare up in her eyes as if they could shoot out at any
time. She had thought that brother Xiao's interest in You XiaoMo would not last too long. But now that
they are living in the same room, the relationship between those two are most probably not as simple
as she had imagined.

"No way, this must not be allowed to continue. Brother Xiao can only be mine."
Tang YunQi grits her teeth and says darkly.

"Junior sister Tang, he is now staying together with Elder brother. I'm afraid it won't be easy
to lay a hand on him."

One of the brothers says awkwardly. Even though he really wants to harm You XiaoMo, if they
were discovered, it would not go well. So, even though he wants to pander to Tang YunQi, he still has
doubts.

"So what, it's not as if Elder brother can be always by his side."

The young girl glances at that brother with a hint of contempt and disdain. Call yourself a man and
yet you don't even have an ounce of courage.

"That's right, they can't always be together. Brother Xiao also has to compete. At that time,
You XiaoMo will definitely be by himself, the perfect time for us to act. Anyway, I have another
option."

The hesitation in Tang YunQi's eyes is immediately replaced with viciousness. She has to make
You XiaoMo pay or else the future would not be smooth.

Looking at the ice-cold expression in her eyes, that brother can't help but shiver. Thinking it over,
he still says hesitantly, "Junior sister Tang, I think it's enough if we just teach him a lesson ba.
He is after all Master Kong's personal disciple. If something were to happen and it gets traced
back to us, what will we do?"

The young girl glances at him and says with a smile, "Brother Liang, you seem to be lacking in
courage ba."

Brother Liang knits his brow saying: "Junior sister Liu, this has nothing to do with courage. I
only feel that even if you want to teach him a lesson, it has to be within limits. If something
serious happens, who will take the blame? Don't tell me you will?"

The young girl's face darkens. She glares at him but doesn't say a word.

No matter what, Tang YunQi already made up her mind to take advantage of this opportunity to
teach You XiaoMo a good lesson and warn him to stay away from Lin Xiao.

At the same time, under a big tree not far behind them, a black figure stands. It's not certain how
long he has been standing there. What is certain, is that he heard everything Tang YunQi and company
were discussing. A flash of light appears in those dark black eyes when he hears a certain name.

Right now, You XiaoMo is forced by Ling Xiao to take a tour of Lin Xiao's room. There is really
nothing to see in Lin Xiao's room. If Lin Xiao was a girl, then there might be something worth seeing.
It might also arouse some interest in You XiaoMo. After all, no matter if it's this lifetime or the last
lifetime, he never had the opportunity to visit a girl's room.
In his previous life, he had an older brother and a younger brother. What was lacking was an older
or younger sister. He was the second oldest and didn't receive much attention at home. His family
didn't really bother about him so when the time came to take the high school exam, he purposely chose
an elevator school that would allow him to go straight to university and is also far from his home. He
didn't want to stay in the dorms so he rented a room outside. As a result the tragic him dropped dead
before he could experience university life.

Wiping away imaginary tears, You XiaoMo's thoughts finally drift back to the present. Looking
around Ling Xiao's room, You XiaoMo still feels a little envious. Even though there is nothing worth
seeing in a man's room, the quality of the room is not bad.

Compared to his bare room that can't be any more bare, Ling Xiao's room can undoubtedly be
described as high class and luxurious. The wood is not the ordinary red birch wood but thousand year
white wood. Continuously emitting a light fragrance. It not only calms the heart and bolsters spirits, it
also has excellent protective properties. It is said that only the seniors get to enjoy this privilege. So
the fact that Lin Xiao was given this room shows clearly his superior status.

At this time, You XiaoMo whose heart is bursting with envious bubbles has no idea that Tang
YunQi and company are quietly plotting against him.

"Why is there only one bed?"

You XiaoMo comes out from the inner room, finally feeling something is off. When he was looking
around, he was trying to figure out what feels not quite right. The room has a bed, a table, a tea set, a
wardrobe, all the usual things. But he feels that something is off. Only when he walks out and sees
Ling Xiao sitting by the table and drinking tea does a sudden flash of realization dawn on him.

Ling Xiao puts down the tea cup and raises the corners of his mouth, "It's a room for one person,
how many beds do you think is needed?"

You XiaoMo points to himself and says dryly, "What about me ne? Where am I going to sleep?"

Ling Xiao reveals a what would be considered a wicked smile in You XiaoMo's eyes, and says
frivolously, "Of course you will be sleeping with me ah!"

If a fan were to appear in his hand, he would definitely look just like a local tyrant forcefully
abducting a maiden, smiling lewdly at the small white rabbit in front of him.

You XiaoMo immediately turns into stone!

Chapter 62

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Sit on my lap.It takes almost two hours before You XiaoMo accepts the reality that he has to share
the same room and the same bed with Ling Xiao. But because the time for the competition is fast
approaching, he has no time to restore his traumatized mind.

Although two people will be sharing one room and one bed, the Warrior division didn't provide
them with beddings and such. Items needed for washing up are also not provided. All these are up to
the Mage disciples to bring their own. Luckily they all have a magic bag. Although not huge, it is
more than enough to carry these things. By the time You XiaoMo takes out and arranges his things, the
time for the competition arrives.

Although the Central lineage has fewer people, when a big group of people descend on one spot, it
is still a sizable number. A dense mass of people sit spread out in various areas. One of the areas is
for the elders of TianXin sect. It is located right in front of the arena, fifteen chairs in a row. Ten of
them are already occupied by elders, the ones that have not arrived are probably the big shots, so they
would show up last.

Another area is for the participants. The participating disciples seem to have all arrived. Some
have their eyes closed, resting their mind to properly prepare for today's competition. Some are
chatting with their brothers. On the whole, the atmosphere is pretty good. There's definitely none of
the cold attitudes just because they might be facing each other later.

The last area is for the mages. Although not many, most of them are already in attendance, including
the one that hates You XiaoMo right to her bones, Tang YunQi.

When the two of them appear, the looks could almost be felt physically. The most lethal one is the
one from Tang YunQi.

You XiaoMo had long expected that the princess would turn up at the Central lineage so he had
prepared himself mentally. But it still shocks him. There must be an unbelievable amount of hate
condensed into that glare. He has no doubts that if looks could kill, he would not only be dead but
also without an intact corpse.

Butting against the pressure, You XiaoMo lifts his foot wanting to head to the mage area but his arm
is suddenly seized.

Ling Xiao frowns at him, "Where do you think you're going?"

You XiaoMo freezes for a moment before pointing at the mage area saying, "Go there ah. That is
our area. I just saw that Second brother is also there."

"There are too few people over there. You can just follow me to the competitor seats."
Ling Xiao glances at the mage disciples that are continuously looking over at them. He doesn't like
how Tang YunQi and company are looking at You XiaoMo.

"Ah? Is that alright?"

You XiaoMo didn't expect that Ling Xiao would say that.

"I say it is so it is."

Ling Xiao says that and doesn't ask his opinion again before dragging him by the arm to the
competitor seats.

You XiaoMo quickly adjusts his steps to avoid falling over in front of everyone. It's a while before
he says: "But, the competitor seats seem to be fully occupied. Where am I going to sit if I go over
there?"

Ling Xiao turns around and glances at him with a slight smile, "Even if there isn't a seat, I will
make it so there is. If not, you can also sit on my lap. I don't mind."

You XiaoMo slips and almost falls. Luckily his arm is being held by Ling Xiao. After getting over
the shock he gnashes his teeth saying: "But I mind!"

What 'sit on my lap'? He is a man, not a girl. If that were to happen, not only will he completely
lose face, he will most probably also drown in other people's spittle. At that time, even if he were to
jump into Huang river, he won't be able to get clean!

Ling Xiao shrugs indifferently.

Just when You XiaoMo is being led by Ling Xiao to the competitor seats, flames of rage almost
shoot out from the eyes of Tang YunQi who is seated with the mages.

The extreme jealousy is even more intense than the time she heard that they would be sharing the
same room. She had thought that once he comes over, she would definitely give him a dressing down.
But he didn't even give her the chance. If Tang YunQi had a handkerchief in her hand, it most probably
would have been torn to bits.

"Junior sister, could it be that Elder brother Lin knows about our plan?"

"Probably not."

Tang YunQi says with a dark face. They came up with the plan on the spot. At that time, there was
no one else around so they couldn't have been overheard. Furthermore, with her status as the daughter
of the Grand Master there are only a few that dare to offend her.

"Then it most probably is just a coincidence."

The person speaking suddenly lowers his voice.


"Looks like I can only use that method."

Tang YunQi says gloomily. Actually she doesn't want to use that pawn so quickly. It's only that
seeing how Brother Xiao is protecting You XiaoMo at every turn, she feels that if she were to endure
it any further, she would soon explode.

When every one is lost in their own thoughts, they forget that sitting among them is a disciple from
the same peak as You XiaoMo, Fu ZiLin. Most probably because he is too quiet, Tang YunQi and
company completely forget that he exists.

On the opposite side, You XiaoMo is being pulled by Ling Xiao into his camp. There are five rows
of competitor seats. Each row has ten spots. Ling Xiao's seat is in the middle of the first row. A very
good position. To the left and right are Zhou Peng and Qin ShiYu. The both of them arrived long ago.
Zhou Peng sees Ling Xiao dragging You XiaoMo over and immediately stands up and gives up his
seat voluntarily. The junior brother by his side also stands up and readily gives up his seat to him,
running to the back seats.

Seeing this scene, You XiaoMo is at a loss for words. These people are too nice. No wonder Ling
Xiao was so confident.

With the passing of time, the Grand Master Tang Fan finally shows up. He brings along a few high
level seniors. The Central lineage disciples are core disciples so it is only right for them to receive
all the attention. After that, Tang Fan as before starts by saying some encouraging words. Since this is
a friendly competition, the fights will only go so far.

After saying a few opening remarks, Tang Fan retreats back to the seats giving way to the judge, an
elder named Jiang.

"This year's friendly competition will be held by drawing lots, just like last year. The people
who are chosen will get on the arena. The first one to fall from the stage will be the loser. The
one who voluntarily admits defeat will also be the loser. I hope you all will act according to your
abilities. Now we will begin drawing lots."

After Elder Jiang says this, a junior brings up a square box. In order to prove that there is no funny
business, Elder Jiang shakes the box forcefully in front of everyone. He then puts his hand inside and
takes out two pieces of paper.

Opening the pieces of paper, Elder Jiang says forcefully: "The first one is Zhou Peng. The
second one is Lin Xiao. Please get into the ring!"

Immediately a huge commotion erupts under the stage. This is only the first first fight and already
the two of them are chosen. Really too much of a joke.

Everyone knows that the relationship between Zhou Peng and Lin Xiao is very good. Furthermore,
even though Zhou Peng is not as strong as Lin Xiao, he is still among the top ten. Looks like one of the
two will have to be eliminated.

Chapter 63

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Lifespan.You XiaoMo reflexively looks over at Ling Xiao. The latter is not the least surprised. A
smile like the spring breeze is still hanging on his face, elegant and dignified. Just like a noble prince.
Looking over, You XiaoMo's mouth twitches as he sees the junior sisters over to the side acting like
maidens shyly peeking at Ling Xiao with what can only be described as extremely bashful
expressions. You XiaoMo has never understood why girls like this type of men.

The called upon Zhou Peng is the first to enter the arena. Standing at 1.8-1.9 meters, his figure is
very imposing. He has a strong, sturdy, tall and straight figure with the tension in his muscles vaguely
visible. Especially the muscles on his arm, under a layer of clothing, one can almost feel the energy.
On his back is a five hundred catty heavy double-edged sword, the heaviest sword there has ever
been in TianXin sect. From this, one can infer that Zhou Peng should be the strength class martial
artist.

Standing on the stage, Zhou Peng doesn't wait for Ling Xiao to join him. Instead, he cups his hands
saying: "I didn't expect that my first fight will be with Elder brother. Truthfully, I, Zhou Peng is
very happy. After all, there are not many times when I can spar with Elder brother. But I know
my own strength. The me now is not able to defeat Elder brother."

Everyone is looking at him in surprise. These words, can it be he's going to give up this fight?

In the elders area, a light flashes in Elder Jiang's eyes. He suddenly darkens his face saying, "Zhou
Peng, even if you are no match for Lin Xiao, there is no harm in trying. Furthermore, just from
one fight you can find out how big is the gap between you and Lin Xiao. Blindly chasing will do
you no good."

Zhou Peng laughs heartily, "Thank you Elder Jiang for your advice. Unfortunately, yesterday
when Elder brother was giving me some pointers, I had an enlightening experience. My training
is showing signs of a breakthrough so I am going to go into seclusion for a few days."

"Since it's like that, you can get down ba!"

The Grand Master Tang Fan's serious face finally shows a hint of a satisfied smile. Zhou Peng is
his direct disciple. When he got onto the stage Tang Fan could already tell that is almost at the point
of a breakthrough. After not seeing him for a few days Zhou Peng's training is again one step higher,
making him feel a little surprised. Now, hearing his words, he learns that it is the work of his Elder
disciple. This makes him feel at ease. As their Master, he is the one that is most clear about the
relationship between those two.

Seeing that the Grand Master has already decreed, Elder Jiang says, "So I'll declare that Zhou
Peng withdraws from the first fight. The winner is Lin Xiao."
That said, an enthusiastic applause breaks out under the platform. Among them, the one clapping
most loudly is actually Tang YunQi, her pretty face flushed bright red in excitement.

You XiaoMo also applauds, but not strongly. Listening to the applause, he feels that his palms hurt
just from listening to it. Is it really necessary to clap so strongly? It's not as if a leading celebrity has
arrived.

Everyone had thought that they would be able to witness a tiger vs. dragon match. But no one
expected that before the fight even started, Zhou Peng already withdraws.

For some people, it would be wrong to say they are not disappointed. These few months there have
been very few chances to see Lin Xiao's power. Although the number one position in the Warrior
division is still his, there are certain disciples of overweening ambition that are not willing to accept
being weaker than Lin Xiao.

The saying is right. Know yourself and know your enemy. Then you can fight a hundred battles and
win a hundred battles.

If Lin Xiao's strength were to be revealed a little, the later opponents of Lin Xiao will have a
higher chance of winning. So there are quite a few disciples, and even certain elders that wish to
know how powerful Lin Xiao is. It's too bad that this good opportunity disappeared when Zhou Peng
withdrew. Although unexpected, it is still quite reasonable.

Following that, is the second fight. Elder Jiang is again the one to pick names.

This time, there is no unexpected withdrawal. The opponents are one male and one female.
Because it is a mixed draw, this result is very normal. Of course no one will say that it is unfair. In
Long Xiao continent, it is also equally important for women to increase their power. If not, they will
end up as playthings to be trifled with.

The both of them are in the top twenty rank of the Central lineage. There is not a huge gap in
between them, so their strength is well-matched. Giving and taking, an all out fight. Everyone looks
on full of interest. No one is still talking about the first fight. No winner is determined after one hour
of fighting but in the eyes of the higher level martial artists, the winner is already clear.

Just a little bit later, the woman falls from the stage. The reason is insufficient strength.

The man standing on the stage cups his hand towards the woman and says politely, "Big sister
Yang, you've let me win!"

Elder Jiang again stands out and announces the winner. Right after that is the third fight. This time it
is a fight between two men.

As a man, You XiaoMo also had dreams of becoming a top notch warrior. Flying over masts and
walking on walls, smashing rocks with one strike, he feels that this is especially manly. Most
importantly, delicate girls love this kind of strong men.
But dreams are just dreams. Its relation to reality is just like how North is to South.

Of course, it's not as if he has never gone to the gym or signed up for karate and taekwondo classes.
It's just that he has no talent for martial arts, because from head to tail he is a complete dunce when it
comes to sports. His sense of balance can't be any worse. The simplest physical education test, the
high jump, he has never gone above half a meter. He still remembers a physical education test,
precisely the high jump. The result was he was the worst in the class. Even the fattest girl in the class
did better than him. This became the biggest shame in his life.

But it can't be helped. He really has no talent for sports. So seeing other people display their
powerful style, he feels from the bottom of his heart, admiration, jealousy and hate. Why does he not
have the talent for martial arts? He had thought that by crossing over, his new body would be able to
change his previous situation. But he ends up as a mage, lacking in fighting ability, delicate and weak.

Ling Xiao looks over at You XiaoMo looking at the stage with a complicated expression. He raises
his brows, "What are you thinking of ne?"

You XiaoMo returns to his senses and glances resentfully at him. He lowers his head dispiritedly,
"Why can't mages cultivate super powers?"

Ling Xiao gets what he is thinking. Looks like he got upset looking at the fight happening on stage.
He laughs freely, "There are ten thousand beings on heaven and earth. Some have, some have
not. Heaven has given you a great power so some other things must be taken away. Although it
is true that mages can't cultivate super powers, the magic pills they refine are very important to
martial artists. Martial artists are also the same. Although they are strong, they need to face
many dangers. The two can be said to have an interdependent existence."

"I heard that martial artists have very long lives. If the mage dies, wouldn't they have to look
for another one?"

You XiaoMo also knows that what he says is reasonable. No matter which world, there can't be a
person that is perfect in every way. Just like the person in front of him. On the outside he looks
perfect. But deep inside he really loves to make fun him, extremely evil.

Saying that, You XiaoMo sees Ling Xiao looking at him strangely.

"Who told you that mages have short lives?"

"Can it be I'm wrong? But isn't it true that mages can't cultivate special powers? Then how
can the lifespan be lengthened?"

You XiaoMo exclaims in surprise. He had always thought that to be the case.

Ling Xiao looks at him as if looking at a complete idiot. He lifts his hand and raps him on the head
saying angrily, "Who says you're not cultivating special powers? Your usual refining magic pills,
isn't that cultivating special powers? The book I gave you, don't tell me you're not practicing?
How can there be someone as stupid as you? Didn't your master and brothers tell you?"

You XiaoMo holds his head as his tears start to swim. They really didn't ma! If he wants to know,
he still has to ask.

"But, that book, isn't it for cultivating that ....... soul force?"

Speaking those last words, You XiaoMo purposefully lowers his voice. After all, Ling Xiao
already said that alchemical techniques to cultivate the soul force is very rare. Although he is now a
disciple of Kong Wen, he still is not allowed to practice the alchemical techniques from TianXin sect
because he has not been in sect long enough.

What he doesn't know is that Ling Xiao had long ago set up an illusion around them. What the
others see is not two people talking but two people looking earnestly at the competition.

A smile seeps into Ling Xiao's eyes as he looks at You XiaoMo and elegantly spits out one word,
"Idiot!"

You XiaoMo pouts and looks at him miserably.

This is not his fault. He came to this life late. How would he know so much? Although he had
borrowed quite a few books from the library, the books do not record these things. He also didn't hear
the other disciples talking about it so he assumed the others also don't know. So he had always thought
that mages have very short lifespans.

But he also can't tell Ling Xiao that he was transported over from Earth. Even given ten times the
courage, he still won't dare to say that.

Ling Xiao likes to see his resentful appearance. Although this habit is abnormal, he doesn't mind
being abnormal. Satisfied with bullying him, Ling Xiao finally magnanimously tells him all about the
lifespans of mages.

"Mages and martial artists are the same. Although the way they cultivate special powers and
the type of special powers they cultivate are not the same, the lifespan is comparable.
Furthermore, mages usually have more secure lives. That's because they don't have inner
demons and such things. They also won't accidentally fall into the dark side because of
improper practices."

Chapter 64

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Lei Ju's provocation.You XiaoMo's eyeballs spin one round, finally discovering a crucial point,
"Can it be that the lifespans of mages is tied to cultivating the soul force?"

"That's right."

Ling Xiao finally feels that he is not beyond redemption, actually able to figure this out. At least he
is a teeny bit better than an idiot, "When mages refine magic pills, they have to stimulate the soul
force in their body. So while refining magic pills, the body is also being cleansed. This soul
force comes from your soul. Furthermore, the soul is the foundation of the body. As long as the
soul survives, the body will also survive, understand?"

"Elder brother Ling, you're so awesome. You even know these things."

You XiaoMo looks starry-eyed, in adoration at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao seems to be affected by his expression but immediately looks away calmly. He then
haughtily ridicules him, "That's just because you're too stupid."

You XiaoMo immediately puts away his foolish smile. He now realizes that this person can't be
flattered. He won't even feel grateful after being flattered, "Elder brother Ling, as long as mages
keep on refining magic pills and keep on training their body through their soul force, they
would have an eternal life?"

Ling Xiao smiles slightly at him.

You XiaoMo wants to smile back at him unconsciously but he suddenly remembers that every time
he smiles, it is not a good thing. So he immediately holds it back. Of course, a second later, he hears a
haughty voice ridiculing him.

"Idiot! Of course not!"

You XiaoMo humbly asks for clarification, "Then what does it mean?"

Ling Xiao says seriously, "Not all mages can live forever and never grow old. This has to do
with inborn talent. The higher the level, the longer the lifespan of the mage. The soul will also
be stronger. When the soul gets strong enough, they can even attack other people."

Hearing the last part, You XiaoMo's eyes light up. He has always thought that mages are weak
people without any fighting power.

"Elder brother Ling, is what you said true? As long as the mage's soul is strong enough, it
can be used to initiate attacks on others? There is no need to wait for attack from others before
striking back?"

You XiaoMo says excitedly. He feels as if all the blood in his body is boiling.

"Of course, but it is only possible for high level mages."

Ling Xiao reveals a row of spotlessly white teeth towards him. He then looks on smugly as You
XiaoMo looks as if he had just been splashed with a bucket of cold water. *ze ze ze* This excites him
every time.

You XiaoMo was indeed splashed with water, not cold water, but ice water. It's really too damned
unfair. His soul is green. His innate talent restricts him to a mid-level mage. A high level mage
unfortunately would only remain a wishful dream for this lifetime. After all this talk, he finally found
out that mages can have some fighting power but he does not qualify. If he were to become a mid-
level mage, he should already by burning incense and worshipping Buddha. After all, green souls are
really not much of anything.

The battered You XiaoMo finally loses all interest in watching the competition on stage. It would
only cause him to be envious.

Actually by the time he finished his talk with Ling Xiao, the competition could be considered fully
underway. Other than the second fight where the opponents were closely matched, the others are quite
far apart in ability. For example, the fifth ranked on the Central lineage list vs. the fifteenth ranked.
This disparity is too wide so the winner and loser are quickly revealed.

From morning to the afternoon when the sun is almost setting, a total of twenty five fights were
completed while You XiaoMo was in a daze.

Just when he is rapped on the head by Ling Xiao, he raises his head just in time to see something
flying towards him. Immediately a cold sweat breaks out all over his body. Just when he is trying to
figure out what is going on, Ling Xiao sitting next to him grips his collar and pulls him slightly to his
side.

As for that unlucky fellow caught by no one, he flies straight into the chair that You XiaoMo was
sitting on.

Looking at the painful expression on the unlucky fellow, and the chair that is now in pieces, You
XiaoMo is really grateful that Ling Xiao pulled him away in time. If not, suffering a blow like this, all
the bones in his body would be broken, but .......

You XiaoMo looks over to the arena. A competitor is standing on the edge of the platform. A
gigantic body. His shoulders are almost twice the width of his. Not only that, the muscles on his
exposed arm are super-exaggerated. This person is also a strength type competitor, and one that seems
even stronger than Zhou Peng. A square face with thick bushy eyebrows that look as if they have been
drawn with a brush. This is not a handsome man but rather an extremely manly man!
It's just that his expression makes You XiaoMo uncomfortable. A cold expression without any trace
of emotion. It's as if he purposely threw his opponent at him, looking provocatively at Ling Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, I look forward to the day I get to fight you."

Lei Ju speaks slowly, raising the corners of his thick lips.

Ling Xiao adjusts his sleeves, raising his head to look at the giant from the corner of his eyes. The
corner of his mouth rise slightly but his eyes remain indifferent. The target is standing on the platform
and also much taller than Ling Xiao but he still gives off a sense of inferiority. Just like a ground
beetle in the imperial palace. Even if it were to put on dragon robes, it would still remain only a
ground beetle.

"Junior brother Lei. Then I sincerely hope that you would be able to last till the end. It would
be bad if you were pushed out halfway by someone else."

"I will wish the same for you. I hope that you won't be crossed out halfway. I really look
forward to fighting with you."

Lei Ju smiles coldly. Incomparably self-confident. Other than Lin Xiao, he is the strongest man. But
he is the perennial number two. Because each them they meet in competition, Lin Xiao would always
crush him.

After this, Elder Jiang stands out and announces the results of the competition. The next round of
the competition will be held the next morning.

The sun starts to set. The fiery red sun dyes half the sky red. WuShuang mountain has always had a
lot of clouds and as they are dyed red, the sky simply becomes a magnificent sight. Much more
beautiful that the sights on Earth. You XiaoMo raises his head and can't help letting out a gasp in
admiration. Such a spectacular sight most probably have never been seen on Earth.

Ling Xiao looks back at him who is looking up at the sky stupidly. His hands start to itch and he
almost raps him on the forehead, "Little brother, still not leaving? Are you going to spend the
night here?"

Spend the night? You XiaoMo unconsciously looks over towards Tang YunQi. There is an ominous
glint in the latter's eyes, scaring him and causing him to immediately look away.

He would want to stay here overnight only if his head were slammed in between doors.
Furthermore he has an intuition that Tang YunQi is looking for an opportunity to deal with him. If he
were to stay behind, he can guarantee that what appears in front of everyone tomorrow would be You
XiaoMo's corpse!

On the way back, the other disciples bid goodbye to Ling Xiao one after another. In the end, the one
remaining on the road with them, is the cold as ice Fu ZiLin. As for the one that should also be with
them, Zhou Peng, not even a shadow can be seen. After asking Ling Xiao, he finds out that Zhou Peng
had earlier rushed off to go into seclusion.

"Yi, doesn't that mean that Second brother will be staying by himself?"

You XiaoMo nods his head and suddenly realizes an important matter. If that is the case, then is it
possible for him to .......

"Don't even think about it."

The great Ling Xiao that sees through what he is thinking immediately dismisses his wishful
thinking.

"Why not?"

You XiaoMo grips his fists and says indignantly.

Ling Xiao looks at his puffed up cheeks and smiles slightly, "Because your Second brother won't
share a room with you."

Just as he says this, the door next door shuts with a *peng*.

You XiaoMo, "......."

With this, You XiaoMo loses all hope after being soundlessly and ruthlessly rejected by Fu ZiLin.

The first day in the Central lineage passes very smoothly for You XiaoMo. There aren't many
people that were injured in the first day of competition at the Central lineage. Most of them were light
injuries so You XiaoMo's talent was not put to use. Even if there was a chance, it would be taken
away by disciples from Heaven and Flying peak. Everyone also wants to leave a good impression on
the disciples of the Warrior division. So compared to others, You XiaoMo is more lively tonight.

Because he already took the Fasting magic pill, You XiaoMo doesn't have to go out to eat. Ling
Xiao already has no need to eat so he also doesn't go out.

You XiaoMo sees that Ling Xiao is meditating and has no time to bother with him. Thinking that he
did not take a bath yesterday, he takes out a set of clothes from his magic bag and enters his
dimension. Before taking a bath, he plucks the mature magic herbs and places them on the rack. He
busies himself for over an hour. Because he is worried that Ling Xiao would wake from his
meditation and upon finding him not there would think that he had gone out, You XiaoMo hurriedly
takes a bath and immediately leaves the dimension.

Once out of the dimension, You XiaoMo looks into the inner room. Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao is still
meditating. You XiaoMo thinks that since it's still early, he takes out his cauldron. After all, Ling Xiao
already knows his secret so it doesn't matter that he sees it. After that he takes out tens of stalks of
magic herbs from the dimension. This time, it is material for the Spiritual energy magic pill.

Even for level one magic pills, high grade magic pills require twice the amount of soul force
during the refining process when compared to low-grade magic pills. The last time, You XiaoMo
already tried it out. When his soul force is full, he can refine three pieces of high grade magic pills in
one go. Less than twice when compared to the amount of low grade magic pills. Even though the ratio
is very different, as long as he diligently practices, he would be able to refine more in the future.

Just when You XiaoMo is preparing to throw himself into refining magic pills, Ling Xiao opens his
eyes in the inner room.

Chapter 65

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Black figure outside the window.You XiaoMo is very absorbed when he refines magic pills so
much so that he wouldn't even realize if someone were to stand right next to him.

When Ling Xiao walks, he doesn't make a sound. But that is when no outsiders are around. Because
in front of others, he is Lin Xiao, and not Ling Xiao. But when he sees You XiaoMo using the tea table
as a stone platform to refine magic pills, his lips twitch. He raises his hand and simply spreads a
barrier that cuts off smells.

Although he is not a mage, he still knows that when mages refine magic pills, the magic herbs will
give off a medicinal fragrance. Especially when it comes to higher level magic herbs, when the magic
pill is formed successfully, that medicinal fragrance will be even stronger. Furthermore, this is the
Central lineage where high level masters are as many as there are clouds. Any slight movement will
be discovered immediately. If he didn't wake up in time from his meditation, he would have been in
trouble.

Seeing that You XiaoMo doesn't realize his presence, Ling Xiao walks over to the tea table and
glances at the magic herbs. They are all high grade magic herbs, about thirty stalks. He soon thinks
about the magic herb garden in the dimension. It looks like magic herbs watered with magic water is
not quite the same.

Ling Xiao pulls a chair and sits opposite You XiaoMo. Thinking about it, this is the first time he
sees You XiaoMo refining magic pills. Seeing that fair and clear face flushed red, Ling Xiao thinks
about the time they first met.

At that time, You XiaoMo was far from how he is now, able to calmly face him. It's as if from the
first look, he wanted to avoid him. That's right, avoid him but not terrified of him. This made him feel
very intrigued, not only because he and Lin Xiao were from different divisions.

He is someone that is used to being above everyone. A ....... person that is used to everyone fearing
him. So, towards the person who is hell-bent on avoiding him, You XiaoMo, Ling Xiao was very
intrigued. That's why he threatened him to give up half his soul.

Of course that was just to scare him. The soul is an intact entity. If one were to give up half, that
would mean death.

After that, the more time he spent with him, the more he wanted to make fun of him. Looking at his
furious but not daring to say a word expression delights him to no end. Just like that, it became only
natural with time .......

If You XiaoMo knows what Ling Xiao is thinking in his heart, he might take the cauldron in his
hands and throw it at him.
But he is already entering the last stage so his mind is even more concentrated. So he basically
doesn't know that Ling Xiao has been staring at him for quite a while.

A quarter of an hour later and You XiaoMo finally succeeds in refining a Spiritual energy magic
pill. The whole room is flooded with medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy. The time he used this
time is one third of what he used last time. The speed has increased significantly. He only needs to
practice a little more and he should be able to catch up to the speed he uses for low grade magic pills.

Wiping off the sweat on his forehead, You XiaoMo raises his head and jumps in fright from the
enlarged face before him, "You you you, how come you're awake?"

Ling Xiao glances at the magic pill in his hand.

You XiaoMo notices his glance and thinks that since this magic pill was for him anyway, he is just
about to hand it over when he sees Ling Xiao frown and look out the window. Following his gaze, he
looks over ....... and sees absolutely nothing.

"Elder brother Ling, is there anything outside?"

You XiaoMo asks curiously.

"There's someone outside."

Ling Xiao answers indifferently.

"Ah?"

The magic pill in You XiaoMo's hand almost slips out. Terrified, he quickly uses his other hand to
hold it firmly and says anxiously, "There there there ....... there's someone? How can there be
someone, can that person find out that I'm refining magic pills? If I get found out, should I run
away? But I don't know the way. And I don't know where to go ei."

When You XiaoMo gets anxious, the words would unconsciously come out non-stop.

Ling Xiao's serious expression changes into amusement when he sees his over the top nervous
behavior. How can this person be so interesting ne!

"With me here, what are you afraid of? I had already put down a barrier a long time ago.
Even if it was the Grand Master of TianXin sect himself that comes over, he wouldn't be able to
see through it. What more that mouse outside whose power is only so so. Even if he were to
plaster himself to the wall and try to listen, he would only think that we have already gone to
sleep."

"Barrier? When, how come I didn't know?"

You XiaoMo calms down but is still very curious.


"When you were refining magic pills."

Ling Xiao glares at him.

You XiaoMo lets out an 'oh', no wonder he didn't know. At that time, he was fully concentrating on
the insides of the cauldron so it's only natural that he didn't realize, "Who is that person outside?
Why is he spying on us?"

"That person is the one who presided over the arena today, Elder Jiang. He also presided over
last year's competition. But nothing in particular happened. Elder Jiang is a very low profile
person but his relationship with the other elders is not bad. But before today, he didn't do
anything strange."

"Then, what now?"

You XiaoMo swallows repeatedly. It's actually Elder Jiang. Thank goodness he wasn't discovered.

"What else can we do? Of course just wait and see. Or, would you prefer that I kill him right
now to avoid any future trouble?"

Ling Xiao looks at him and somewhat playfully licks the corners of his lips. It almost seems that if
You XiaoMo is to nod his head, he would immediately go and do it.

A drop of sweat rolls off You XiaoMo's forehead, "How can I like killing people? You don't
misunderstand. Elder Jiang is after all TianXin sect's senior. It maybe that, that's right, it
maybe that he was just passing by and accidentally bumped into your barrier."

"No need to be so nervous. I wasn't serious about killing him. This is after all TianXin sect.
Killing him would only bring trouble."

Looking at his nervous behavior, Ling Xiao can't help but laugh out loud.

You XiaoMo ignores his jab and lets out a sigh of relief. He had thought it would be like that. After
calming himself, he realizes that he is still holding the Spiritual energy magic pill in his hand. He
immediately hands it over looking for praise, "Elder brother Ling, look at this magic pill. It's a
high grade magic pill refined by me."

Ling Xiao had long ago noticed it. Seeing him handing it over, he immediately reaches out and
takes it. He looks and looks, sniffs and sniffs. This is really excellent, much more fragrant than the
flawed low grade magic pills. Thus he impatiently throws it into his mouth.

Every time You XiaoMo sees this action, he can't help feeling his heart ache. It's just too wasteful!

He has never seen such a person. Eating magic pills like eating jellybeans. Furthermore, it doesn't
matter what grade of magic pills. It can't be that he isn't afraid that eating too many magic pills will
cause the spiritual energy in his body to wreak havoc, causing his meridians to go in reverse? Even as
he is, he knows that eating too many magic pills is not a good thing.

After finishing the magic pill, Ling Xiao appears unsatisfied as he looks at You XiaoMo. Such a
tasty magic pill, he really wants to have his fill.

In one glance, You XiaoMo knows that he still wants more. Thinking of the magic pills that he
refined yesterday in his magic bag, he simply takes them out saying, "This is a bottle of Fasting
magic pills. There are ten inside. I refined them last night. Make do with these first ba."

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao only looks at the bottle in his hand, "Why did you refine Fasting magic
pills for no reason?"

You XiaoMo rubs his head while speaking, "The cauldron I'm currently using has a small
crack on the bottom. I'm afraid that it may split open at any time so I'm planning on buying a
slightly better cauldron. But I don't have enough money, so I'm planning to refine Fasting
magic pills to sell. I've already asked around. High grade Fasting magic pills are in relative
short supply. Fifty or more pills can be sold by auction. At that time, the price should be high.
These ten pills are my practice pills. If you want, you can just take them. I will just refine some
more."

Ling Xiao stares at him with an expressionless face. His mouth suddenly twitches and says as if
slighted: "No need. It's the same if you give them to me tomorrow. Don't think of sending me
away with your practice pills."

You XiaoMo pouts. He actually thinks I'm trying to pawn them off. Even though they are practice
pills, they are still top grade magic pills okay. Furthermore, he had never heard him belittle his magic
pills before. And those were low grade magic pills. Furthermore, at that time he was still a novice.
Don't talk about quality, his skills were also nothing to shout about. Really can't understand what he is
actually thinking!

But since he already said he doesn't want it, he won't insist and ask to be snubbed. His refusal also
suits him just fine ba!

Thinking like that, You XiaoMo simply puts the magic pills back into his magic bag and starts on
the second magic pill.

Because of the presence of Ling Xiao's barrier, You XiaoMo is more at ease this time. He once
again neglects Ling Xiao's existence and starts refining magic pills as if there is no one beside him.

Seeing that he is ignoring him, Ling Xiao doesn't feel the least bit angry. He sits back on the chair
and looks at him with an even more complicated expression than before. Just before, when he heard
You XiaoMo saying those words, he felt irritated and displeased. Soon after an inexplicable feeling
arose in his heart.

It must be known that he is someone that can be said to be even more heartless than demons!
Even so, Ling Xiao doesn't feel disgust. This 'inexplicable feeling' for the first time is not
something he especially detests. It looks like from the time he started to get together with You
XiaoMo, he has become more and more 'kind hearted'!

If You XiaoMo knows what he is thinking in his heart, he would definitely ridicule him silently in
his heart. Really embarrassing!

Even though they have not known each other for long, but from the time Ling Xiao conveniently
wiped out the original Lin Xiao, You XiaoMo had known that he can't be a good person.

This point, You XiaoMo really takes as the truth!

Chapter 66

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

First nightThat night, in Ling Xiao's room where outsiders can't see, the shadow of You XiaoMo
from the night luminescent pearl falls on the window. The still and absorbed appearance is very
fascinating. It's said that that a man is most charming when he is completely focused. This saying is of
course not false. Ling Xiao that is sitting in front of him, other than occasionally closing his eyes, for
the most time is staring at You XiaoMo.

From the Shu period to the Zi period, You XiaoMo refined magic pills for a full four hours. He
only stops when he uses up all his soul force.

Putting the last magic pill into the bottle, You XiaoMo wipes the sweat off his forehead. Although
his complexion is a little pale, he can't help from grinning. This time, his speed in refining magic pills
increased again. He refined ten high grade magic pills in four hours. Much faster than yesterday.

"Elder brother Ling, here are ten magic pills. The taste should be the same as the one you
ate."

You XiaoMo tidies up all the things on the tea table before handing over the bottle containing the
magic pills to him.

Ling Xiao looks at the bottle in his hand and then glances at his pale cheeks. Just when You
XiaoMo thinks that he is going to refuse, he suddenly takes the bottle and says expressionlessly,
"Next time, you don't have to be so hurried."

Saying that, he turns around and heads into the inner room.

You XiaoMo, "......."

Bastard, you should have said that earlier!

When he was refining the magic pills, he thought that Ling Xiao was waiting impatiently for them.
That's why he carried on for four hours non-stop to pump out the ten magic pills. Who knew that when
he finished, he actually said those words. Clearly he tricked him!

After cursing inwardly, You XiaoMo then follows him into the inner room.

Zi period is equal to the time between 11pm to 1am on earth. It's now 11pm. Although not
especially late, all the lights are out in the Central lineage. Exactly the time when everything is silent.

When You XiaoMo walks in, Ling Xiao was just taking off his outer garment. Only a white inner
robe remains. His tall slender figure is vaguely visible under the robe revealing the contours of his
muscles. His manner although indifferent is still majestic and threatening. Looking on, You XiaoMo's
face suddenly flushes, much like steamed shrimp.

Only now does he remember that he will soon be sleeping on the same bed as Ling Xiao.

"Little brother, why are you still standing there? Get over here and sleep."

Turning around, Ling Xiao sees You XiaoMo rooted on the spot seemingly at a loss. His cheeks
were no longer pale like before. Instead they are bright red. In a glance, he can tell that he is very
nervous.

You XiaoMo already doesn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He says cautiously, "Elder
brother Ling, I think it would be better if I put the futon on the floor for myself. Two people
sleeping together is a little cramped. And adding on one more person all of a sudden, you would
also not be used to it ba!"

Ling Xiao curves his lips, "Haven't done it yet, how do you know that I won't be used to it?"

You XiaoMo is rendered speechless. This type of thing and you still need to try it first? Nonsense!

Without asking his permission, Ling Xiao walks over to him and grabs him by the arm and pulls
him to the bed. He then says suggestively, "Little brother, do you need me to help you undress?"

The first reaction for You XiaoMo is to use his other hand to grip his collar as if terrified that Ling
Xiao would really help him undress. But when he regains his senses he almost falls to his knees. Why
did he react like a woman? It's all Ling Xiao's fault. If he didn't always tease him with that tone, he
wouldn't have developed such a conditioned reflex!

"No, no need, I'm used to sleeping in my clothes."

You XiaoMo blushes and forces out a seemingly fair and sensible reason.

Ling Xiao looks him up and down, raising the corner of his mouth: "Sleeping in your clothes,
wouldn't it be uncomfortable?"

You XiaoMo laughs stiffly, "Still OK."

Hearing these words, Ling Xiao glances at him ambiguously, "Since you like it, I also won't force
you. Now, it's time for bed ba?"

"Of, of course."

You XiaoMo quickly takes off his shoes, terrified that Ling Xiao will suddenly change his mind. He
crawls onto the bed and immediately burrows himself into a corner on the inner side of the bed. Then
he furtively pulls a corner of the blanket and wraps himself up in it.

When Ling Xiao lies down, he sees his weak posture like a curled up turtle. He can't help laughing
out loud. Supporting his head with one hand, he taunts him: "Little brother, do you have to be so
afraid? Can it be that you're afraid that I'll eat you up?"

"No, I think that this is just nice ......."

It's just that it's a little unusual, that's all.

This type of feeling is actually like how two enemies who refuse to live under the same sky
suddenly find themselves sleeping on the same bed. That feeling is one of extreme awkwardness.
Who would have thought that they would sleep on the same bed one day. Although Ling Xiao and him
are not enemies, he still feels the same way. That's the feeling that if he were to relax his hands and
feet a little, the other party would do something terrifying at any time.

"As you say!"

Ling Xiao languidly spits out those words, turns over and goes to sleep, no longer paying any
attention to the cocooned You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo makes use of the moonlight from outside the window to see Ling Xiao closing his
eyes. His relaxed and even breathing suggests that he is already asleep. This speed can almost be
entered into the Guinness Book of Records.

Pulling at the blanket, You XiaoMo feels that the blanket is too small. He obviously forgot about
this when he was putting things in order earlier that morning.

Because this is originally a one-person room, the blanket will of course not be too big.
Furthermore, Ling Xiao is taller and wider than him so when he covered himself, he already used up
half. On top of that, he is curled up in a corner, so his body is mostly uncovered with a huge empty
space in between them. With the cold air invading, it's so cold that he can't stop shivering.

You XiaoMo rubs both of his arms. Looks like he can only tough it out tonight. Tomorrow he will
think of something.

Not long after, sleepiness sets in. You XiaoMo is eventually unable to ward off his sleepiness,
closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Just at this time, the one that should be already asleep, Ling Xiao, opens his eyes. He turns his head
and looks at You XiaoMo curled into a ball, amusement showing in his eyes. Actually, with his
physique, this type of cool night air is really nothing. He can even sleep in the ice and snow. He only
did this to see how long You XiaoMo can hold out before getting closer.

Unexpectedly, before that happened, he actually fell asleep!

Shaking his head in disappointment, Ling Xiao takes the blanket and wraps him up. He then closes
his eyes again and quickly falls asleep.

Ling Xiao had thought that he would be able to sleep until daylight. Unexpectedly, in the middle of
the night, he is awakened by a warm body rubbing against him. When he opens his eyes he sees that
the one who should be in the corner, You XiaoMo, sticking to his body like an octopus with eight feet.
He even brought the blanket along with him except that there is only a corner that is still covering his
thin body. The most of it still remaining in the corner.

Most probably because it sensed a heat source so You XiaoMo's body unconsciously moved over
to rub against the heat source. The head rests on his chest, and maybe because it's too stiff, so the lips
move as if making some small complaints. But the hands and feet are tightly wrapped around his
body, the body no longer shivering from the cold, seeming to be in an even deeper sleep.

By the time Ling Xiao realizes what is going on, You XiaoMo is already hanging onto his body.
Every breath he takes is full of his scent.

You XiaoMo is a restless sleeper. Hanging on his body and yet he still flails around. He
accidentally rubs against a certain part on the lower half of the body eliciting a slight reaction. Ling
Xiao's expression changes slightly. He quickly restrains this fidgeting body. You XiaoMo then stops
moving and looks for a comfortable position. Pouting, he falls into a deep sleep. Because a certain
body is starting to react, the body becomes hotter and hotter. You XiaoMo feels the increasing warmth
and becomes even more reluctant to let go.

Ling Xiao lowers his head and sees You XiaoMo sprawled on his chest. His mouth opens slightly
suddenly showing his teeth.

Luckily his willpower is extraordinary. If not, something embarrassing would have happened.
Strongly pushing down the reaction, Ling Xiao is no longer able to fall asleep. With his eyes open, he
stares at You XiaoMo for most of the night.

The next day, You XiaoMo wakes up and finds himself sleeping in Ling Xiao's arms. He jumps in
fright and tries to get up.

Unexpectedly this movement affects the eyes-closed but not really sleeping Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao
opens his eyes and glares fiercely at You XiaoMo. The two arms encircling his waist don't budge. He
says thickly while breathing heavily: "You XiaoMo, just you try and move again!"

You XiaoMo immediately doesn't dare to move. He shivers and shrinks back into those arms
speaking falteringly, "I, why am I sleeping here?"

"Why do you think ne?"

Ling Xiao's husky voice spits out those words. Although the voice is very sexy, it still gives off a
sinister feeling.

You XiaoMo shivers. If he knew, then he wouldn't have to ask. Thinking like this, he feels
something stiff and hard poking his thigh. When he realizes what that stiff and hard thing is, his whole
face, including the ears and neck turn bright red like the color of blood .......
This this this, this is really too horrifying!

Even though morning vigor is a normal physiological phenomenon for men, but when he thinks that
his thigh is being poked by that plaything, he feels his scalp getting numb.

Why is it like this right after he wakes up? Who can tell him ah? Ah?"

Chapter 67

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

As long as you help me.You XiaoMo is not used to being in such close contact with a man. But for
some reason, with just a slight move, that stiff hard thing seems to get bigger, pushing against his
thigh. Not only getting hotter but he can also feel it getting harder.

At this time, Ling Xiao's arms, looped around his waist grips him tighter. Tightening around his
waist as if wanting to snap him in two. You XiaoMo endures until his whole face is bright red. He
finally can't take it any longer. He feels that if he were to keep quiet any longer, he would really be
snapped in two.

"Elder brother Ling, can you let me go first? I ....... soon I won't be able to breathe."

Ling Xiao glares at him again. Although he doesn't say anything, he loosens his grip on him.

You XiaoMo feels it and immediately heaves a sigh of relief. He was almost crushed to death. He
then steals a glance at Ling Xiao and stammers, "Elder brother Ling, since it's no longer early, we
....... should be getting out of bed? Also, you have to compete today ne!"

Ling Xiao doesn't answer, the expression in his eyes profoundly alluring. The black pupils of his
eyes reflect the bright red face of You XiaoMo.

A youngster of seventeen to eighteen years old. A delicate and fair radiant face. Not tall but very
thin and small body. At first glance, this person's appearance is not the type that would catch people's
attention in one glance. But after staying with him for a while, it starts to fascinate him, making him
want to understand him further.

You XiaoMo is a man of many expressions, frequently revealing all his thoughts on his face.
Someone that is very easy to understand. It precisely for this reason that Ling Xiao always finds it
hard to resist teasing him.

But You XiaoMo is also the one that is most able to endure out of all the people he has met before.
Clearly feeling wronged, to the extent that flames are leaping in his eyes, and yet not uttering a single
word and forcing it down. But what he doesn't know is that the more he does this, the more Ling Xiao
will tease him, trying to find his breaking point.

It's just that he suddenly realizes that You XiaoMo is actually quite good looking. The fair and clear
face that seems to have two pink puffy clouds on each side. Looking at them, they look like plump,
juicy, and fragrant sweet honey peaches. Enticing people to take a bite. In fact, Ling Xiao does just
that. Lowering his head and taking a bite out of one of his cheeks. The latter, because of extreme
shock, loses his soul, simply not having any reaction whatsoever.

Luckily Ling Xiao only bites him lightly but it still leaves a faint mark on You XiaoMo's face.
"Really delicious!"

Ling Xiao licks his lower lip, revealing an unsatisfied expression. A pair of sharp cheetah-like
eyes, fixed on You XiaoMo's flushed pink cheeks. As if he's thinking of taking another bite.

You XiaoMo's mind that had flown away returns to him when Ling Xiao says 'Really delicious'.
His first reaction is to cover the place where he was bitten and open his eyes wide in shock. With an
expression of disbelief, "You you ....... "

"What about me?"

Ling Xiao smiles until his eyes turn into slits. The irritability he felt from not sleeping the whole
night, immediately disappears when he sees this expression on You XiaoMo's face.

"You, how can you bite me?"

You XiaoMo puts on a tiger face and says indignantly.

Ling Xiao ponders for a moment then beams while saying, "Because I feel like it."

You XiaoMo is so angry that his lips start to quiver. He glares at him saying, "You feel like it so
you bite? I'm not a piece of meat on the chopping block."

Ling Xiao suddenly raises the corners of his mouth, revealing a cynical and frivolous expression,
"How do you know you're not a piece of meat on the chopping block, en?"

The last syllable is said in an extremely sexy manner, making the listener feel the magnetism in that
rich, deep and low voice.

If the sisters of the Central lineage were here, they would definitely be squealing in excitement.

It's too bad that the only other person here is You XiaoMo. His whole attention is focused on the
first half of Ling Xiao's words. There's no way for him to pay any attention to how that last word is
different from normal. He is already so angry that his whole body starts quivering.

"You, what is the meaning of this?"

You XiaoMo gnashes his teeth. Don't think that just because he has no combat ability, so he can be
easily bullied. He is also someone that can't be trifled with.

"It exactly what you think it means."

Ling Xiao's smile is quite moving. The clearly manly handsome face is tinged with an enchanting
elegance. His tone as light as down, as if in a pretty good mood.

"I ....... "


You XiaoMo widens his eyes, wanting to object but looking at the brilliant smile that makes him
look like a whole different person, the courage he drummed up immediately shrivels up. The
expression on his face is also immediately replaced by a cute and pitiful look, like a bullied damsel
in distress, "Wasn't it still fine last night ....... "

Ling Xiao is immediately elated. This fellow was obviously in a fit of rage, and yet in just a
moment, he actually went back to his original nature. And here he thought that he had grown some
balls, actually daring to talk back at him. But as happy as he is, Ling Xiao doesn't plan on letting it go
just like this. Making him unable to sleep the whole night, this debt must be paid.

"Little brother, why do you think you ended up sleeping in my arms?"

He also wants to know the answer to this question. Why is it that the first thing in morning, he finds
himself waking up in Ling Xiao's arms!

You XiaoMo thinks that he has a good sleeping posture. Although he moved out to live by himself
in his last life, when he was still living back home, his parents and his younger brother that lived in
the same room never said that he had bad sleeping habits. So he always felt that his sleeping posture
is very proper, just like that.

But this belief is destroyed today. He really wants to scream that it's not true but looking at Ling
Xiao's expression, it's obvious that something must have happened last night. If not, Ling Xiao would
not have any reason to say these words!

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo can't help but laugh in embarrassment, "Did something happen
last night?"

In an instant he changes from an indignant and justified victim to the accused. Furthermore, he is
now the helpless person with all the power now being in the hands of the other person.

Of course, this little lamb, no matter how it tries to disguise itself, it is still inherently a little lamb.
This thing just can't be changed!

A gleam flashes in Ling Xiao's eyes. He lies with a poker face, "Last night, you ....... after
sleeping for half the night, you suddenly woke up and pressed down on me. And not just that,
you had this animal strength from who knows where and you suddenly wanted to tear off my
clothes. If not for the good quality of my clothes, they would have been torn to shreds by that
animal strength of yours long ago."

You XiaoMo listens until he feels his heart shudder. Analyzing this long string of words, his heart
feels like a well with seven buckets going up and eight buckets going down. Right until he hears those
words 'tear off my clothes', it completely floors him such that he desperately wants to play dead.

Oh my God, this person is definitely not him. No way. It must be an illusion. How can he do such
things? But looking at Ling Xiao's expression, he doesn't seem to be lying. He is suddenly thrown into
chaos. This revelation is too explosive. He had never thought that he has such a ....... uh, 'hot-blooded'
side to him.

"Then then then .... after that ne?"

You XiaoMo's tongue is in knots.

"After that?"

Ling Xiao raises his brows and snorts, "Of course I stopped you in time, but ....... "

You XiaoMo immediately lets out his breath, this is the best thing he has ever heard. But just as he
started to relax, Ling Xiao's 'but' again makes his heart jump up to his throat, *peng peng peng*, as if
it is about to jump out. There's still more?

"But, but what?"

"Although I managed to stop you, you still held on to me and refused to let go. On top of that,
you wouldn't stop flailing on top of me, keeping me awake the whole night."

Those last words were said somewhat vengefully.

You XiaoMo's ears appear to be flooded with blood, the temperature of his cheeks also rise to the
boiling point. He doesn't dare to look at Ling Xiao anymore.

No wonder this morning when he woke up, Ling Xiao also immediately woke up. So he didn't
sleep the whole night. If someone were to press on him and flail about, he also wouldn't be able to get
any sleep. Like this, he really falsely accused him!

"I'm sorry."

You XiaoMo is red-faced, apologizing meekly.

You XiaoMo has his head lowered so he doesn't realize that Ling Xiao is beaming. Where's the
anger? But he still doesn't want to let him go just like that. So he clears his throat and says, "Don't
think that it will be fine with just an apology. But I can forgive you, as long as ....... "

"As long as what?"

You XiaoMo eagerly chimes in. After all, he's the one in the wrong.

A devious look flashes across Ling Xiao's eyes, "As long as you help me think of a way to
soften that hard stick down there."

Saying that, he intentionally jerks his lower body.

"Ah?"
You XiaoMo is unable to ward off the jab. He immediately jumps up as if someone stepped on his
tail. Luckily Ling Xiao didn't use much strength to restrain his waist so he breaks free in an instant.

Gaining his freedom, You XiaoMo quickly scurries into the corner, looking at Ling Xiao in shock.

If he didn't look he wouldn't have known, but with one look he jumps in shock.

His line of sight unconsciously moves to Ling Xiao's lower half. He sees a huge tent pitched
between his thighs. Only separated by a thin layer of white cloth, the huge ferocious thing is faintly
visible. Thinking that he was just jabbed by that plaything, You XiaoMo feels his scalp getting numb.

That's really too big ba?

Ah pei, that's not the most important thing now. Ling Xiao actually wants him to help him .......

Chapter 68

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Help one another.You XiaoMo squats in the corner, his eyes flickering evasively, "Elder brother
Ling, can you change the conditions?"

"Who told you it is an option? You're the one who caused it to stand up so you have to make it
go down. This is your responsibility."

Ling Xiao says it casually, his expression seems to show that the matter is solved, looking from
above, as if it has nothing to do with him.

You XiaoMo almost chokes to death on his own saliva. Morning vigor is also his fault? But, it
really seems to be his fault.

"But, but ....... the competition will start soon. I'm afraid we won't be in time."

You XiaoMo can only go all out looking for excuses.

Ling Xiao sits up and leans on the bedpost, saying leisurely, "You don't have to worry about the
competition. Even if we are late, I have a way to make sure no one suspects us. Furthermore, if I
were to be disqualified, that would be even better. I'll avoid raising the suspicion of Tang Fan
that wily old fox."

This reason is perfectly logical. Unable to refute it, You XiaoMo can only try his best to find an
excuse.

"After all this talk, are you going to do it or not?" Ling Xiao says impatiently.

He doesn't want to continue wasting time like this. If someone were to come knock on the door,
wouldn't that mean his carefully laid out plans would go to waste?

You XiaoMo jumps in fright at this bluff. He wails pitifully explaining, "I I I ....... I can't ....... "

This is not a lie. Although You XiaoMo lived up to eighteen years in his past life, he is still a pure
and innocent little virgin. The things that guys usually do, like watch gay porn, masturbate and such,
all these things he has not done before. This is probably related to his upbringing, so for most things,
this is his first time.

Listening to this, Ling Xiao narrows his eyes slightly, "Don't tell me you've never consoled
yourself?"

"Con ...... console myself?"


You XiaoMo almost spits out his tongue. This term seems familiar. Seems like something his male
classmates whisper among themselves.

Ling Xiao looks at him with suspicion and suddenly pulls him over.

You XiaoMo didn't expect him to act so suddenly. Unable to react, he is pulled into his arms and
sprawls on top of his body. Before he can start to struggle, Ling Xiao stretches out a hand and very
accurately grips that between his two legs ....... his little brother.

The pure and innocent little virgin immediately turns into stone!

Ling Xiao doesn't seem to sense the change. He only feels that the thing in his hand is very soft. He
can't help but rub the little brother. The first time for a virgin is very sensitive. With his rubbing and
kneading, the little brother finally starts to change. Slowly stiffening. Feeling this change, Ling Xiao
finally starts to smile. He raises his head and looks at the red-faced You XiaoMo, saying jokingly,
"This here ....... is really small!"

You XiaoMo is breathing heavily with a flushed face. He feels shame but he feels even more anger.
Actually saying that his thing is small. Fine, although it is small compared to his, but that's because he
is still small. If he were to grow up as big as him, it definitely won't be smaller than his. But now is
not the time to think about these things. His very life is still in the hands of another person ne.

"You, you let go now ....... "

Ling Xiao smiles at him suggestively. He scoops him up into his arms, "Since you can't, let me
teach you ba. Believe me, you only need to be taught once and you will get it. This is after all
every man's innate ability. It's not hard to learn."

Saying this, Ling Xiao simply lifts his green robe to one side revealing the white pants under the
robe. Giving him no chance to object, he takes off his pants. The half erect little brother eagerly jumps
out.

Seeing this with his own eyes, You XiaoMo is so anxious that his eyes start to redden. He
desperately tries to break free of Ling Xiao's restraints but the latter's strength is not something he can
budge.

It must be known that this half-naked disorderly appearance in the eyes of Ling Xiao is
indescribably seductive. Especially the little plaything in his hands. Because it is still not fully
developed, so it is like he mentioned, a little small. But the appearance is still very pretty. Fair and
tender like a jade pillar, very adorable when it stands up. There's also not a lot of hair. He now
believes that this little fellow is really inexperienced. For some reason, when he thinks of this, he
feels very happy.

Under his expert technique, the little guy quickly releases. The pure and innocent little virgin's first
time shoots into his hand. The musk scented thick and creamy milky white liquid appears very
alluring in Ling Xiao's eyes.
The one that was forced to ejaculate for the first time, You XiaoMo doesn't actually feel that much
pleasure. Because it is his first time, so his endurance is very bad. Ling Xiao only teased him a little
and he already shoots his load. The whole person falls into his embrace as if having lost all his
strength.

The cheeks are flushed red. To a little virgin, that pleasurable feeling just now made him feel so
free that he almost cried out. He had never known that holding his own jade pillar will give him such
an intense feeling. Causing his whole body to heat up as if being burned by a flame.

"How is it? Was it very good?"

Ling Xiao strokes his head in satisfaction, beaming as he speaks.

You XiaoMo buries his head in his chest. Not daring to lift his head for now. After a long long
time, he says in a weak mosquito-like voice, "En ....... "

"Then, it's now my turn ba!"

Ling Xiao leans close to his ear smiling suggestively. At the same time, he pulls one of his hands
downwards. That hard like iron stick did not soften even a little bit with time. Its stiffness and
temperature is even higher than before. Separated by a layer of cloth it already feels like burning his
hand. What more if it is direct contact.

The heat burns You XiaoMo such that he almost withdraws his hand but his wrist is still being held
by Ling Xiao.

But You XiaoMo discovers one thing. His one hand is unable to encircle Ling Xiao's stick.
Shocked, he opens his eyes and looks over. This one look and he can't help but let out a gasp. This is
really too big. Then he looks at his own and immediately feels inferior. No wonder he said that his is
very small. Comparing the two, his is basically a bean sprout ma!

The inferior You XiaoMo is somewhat lacking in general knowledge. Because if had seen other
people's stick, he would know that Ling Xiao's stick is really bigger than normal people's. For normal
people, no matter how big it is, there's no way it can get as big as his.

"Hurry up!"

Ling Xiao breathes heavily and urges the dumbfounded You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo is startled. Red-faced, he looks at the ferocious stick in his hands. Although Ling
Xiao had helped him out once, but the time was too short. He basically didn't get the gist of jerking
off. He can only place both his hands on that stick, close his eyes and try to recall the steps Ling Xiao
used to help him.

As expected, a man's ability to learn these things is very strong indeed!

So, the good student You XiaoMo goes all out lying in between Ling Xiao's legs. Struggling with
the stick until his whole head is covered in sweat. But with the passing of time, the time for the
competition gets closer and closer. You XiaoMo's hands start to ache but Ling Xiao has not
ejaculated. The stick is still engorged but without any signs of release.

You XiaoMo wants to take a break but looking up at Ling Xiao, whose face is bright red and
breathing heavily with desire, he feels that this is not really a good time to stop. So he can only
endure the pain in his hands and pick up the speed.

Right at this time, Ling Xiao opens his eyes and says tightly, "Do the top."

Top? You XiaoMo is momentarily at a loss, his vision moving to the stick in his hands. He finally
realizes that there is a clear sparkling liquid at the top of the stick. He immediately gets embarrassed,
isn't that where the pee comes out?

Looking up he sees the red-faced Ling Xiao with tensed muscles. You XiaoMo hesitates a moment
before pushing down his resentment and feeling of unease. He uses one of his hands to rub the tip of
the stick. As a result that crystal clear liquid actually increases. He suddenly finds it quite fascinating.
You XiaoMo's playful nature bursts forth and he fiddles with it repeatedly actually using his nails to
lightly scrape it a few times. Never did he think ........

Ling Xiao suddenly lets out a low growl and the stick explodes in a shudder. The thick and creamy
essence that had not been released for many years sprays out from the tip in bursts. The quantity is
really considerable .......

You XiaoMo is scared senseless by this unexpected event so he basically has no time to get out of
the way. So he his whole body is covered in that thick and creamy essence. Even his face is not
spared.

When Ling Xiao calms down, he sees the dumbfounded You XiaoMo completely covered in sperm.
He can't help but raise the corners of his mouth. After ejaculating, Ling Xiao is very elated. He uses
his sleeve to wipe You XiaoMo's face and goes as far as to personally take off the soiled robe from
his body. Luckily only the outer robe was soiled.

"Oh, do have any more clothes?"

Ling Xiao saw him lay out his clothes that morning. But it was only one set.

You XiaoMo shakes his head in a daze. He still hasn't recovered from the blow.

Ling Xiao frowns, seemingly displeased, saying, "Don't tell me you only have two sets of
clothes?"

You XiaoMo nods. He definitely didn't buy clothes when he went down the mountain. It's not
because he has no money but because he feels that two sets of clothes is enough. So he didn't buy any
the two times he went down the mountain.
Ling Xiao looks at him with a complicated expression. He then gets down from the bed and takes
out a white robe from his wardrobe, "Wear this first. The next time we go down the mountain,
we'll go buy a few sets."

Saying this, he flings it at him.

You XiaoMo finally recovers. But before he could process being sprayed all over, his head is
covered by the clothes that Ling Xiao threw at him. After pulling it down, he stammers: "This robe
....... isn't it too big?"

"Even if it's too big, you still have to put it on. Unless you want to go out in your inner
clothes?"

Ling Xiao says as he takes off his clothes. He then takes out an outer robe from his wardrobe and
puts it on.

"Then ....... I'll wear it ba."

You XiaoMo hangs down his head.

If You XiaoMo knew what kind of commotion he would cause when he goes out wearing Ling
Xiao's clothes, he definitely wouldn't have chosen to wear it at that time.

Chapter 69

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Trust.According to You XiaoMo, today is the most disastrous day since the day he entered TianXin
sect. Because of this morning's force majeure, the both of them arrive just in time at the competition
arena.

When the two of them enter the arena, they rightfully receive the attention of over eighty percent of
the attendees. When they see Ling Xiao, everyone gets excited as usual. But when they see You
XiaoMo, everyone gives him a look of disdain, and then ....... and then they can no longer tear their
eyes away .......

In just one glance, the eyes of over seventy percent of the people at the competitor and audience
seats almost pop out of their sockets. Each and every one of the wide eyes fix on the one walking out
behind Ling Xiao, You XiaoMo. Oh no, to put it accurately, they are fixed on the clothes on his body.

A robe the color of the crescent moon. The edges are embroidered with black and gold silk thread.
Simple yet resplendent. Resplendent yet elegant. It's obviously Elder brother's clothes!

And so, the busybodies start to fill their heads with thoughts of unspeakable secret events
happening in Elder brother's room last night. Bursts of whispers that can't be restrained rise up.

Ling Xiao appears oblivious, an elegant and proper slight smile on his handsome face, walking
towards the competitor seats.

However, the one behind him, You XiaoMo is not as thick-skinned as him. When everyone's
penetrating gaze falls on his body, the scorching hot stares is impossible to ignore. He finally realizes
what an idiotic decision he made.

Just when they are walking past the elders, Tang Fan who arrived just before them suddenly opens
his half-closed eyes. His probing yet undecipherable gaze scrapes over them, finally resting on You
XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo's legs almost give out. If it wasn't for Ling Xiao catching him in time, he would have
made a fool of himself right there.

It must be said that the stares of the Central lineage disciples already give You XiaoMo
indigestion. So the gaze of Tang Fan is like a thousand catty gigantic boulder. Pressing on him making
him almost unable to breathe. That feeling is too intense, as if cutting him open from inside out. As if
nothing can be hidden from his eyes. If not for Ling Xiao propping him up, he almost feels that the
secret teardrop on his chest will be discovered.

"So you're Master Kong's seventh disciple You XiaoMo?"


Just at this time, Tang Fan suddenly opens his mouth.

There's panic in You XiaoMo's eyes. The Grand Master actually recognizes him? And speaking to
him? He recovers after a momentary daze, not daring to look at him, so he lowers his head and says,
"Yes, Grand Master!"

"En, your Brother Ling is a very good disciple. If you have any issues, just look for him."

Tang Fan goes on to say. His serene expression looking as if he is inherently kind.

Of course the people who have had dealings with him will know, this is a fake appearance.

As a leader of a sect, Tang Fan has a ruthless heart and a harsh hand. He places the most
importance on TianXin sect. If someone dares to endanger TianXin sect or his position, even if that
person is his own direct disciple, he won't hesitate to eliminate that person. So when advertising
one's closeness to him, one has to keep in mind not to touch his lower limit.

"Yes, Grand Master!"

You XiaoMo repeats himself again, except that there is and added quiver in his voice.

Ling Xiao who is supporting him discovers this immediately. He then pulls him closer and meets
Tang Fan's eyes smiling, "Master, you don't have to worry. I will take good care of Brother
XiaoMo."

"That's good then. The competition is about to start. You should go to your seats."

Tang Fan nods, and allows them to leave.

"Your disciple takes his leave!"

Ling Xiao says respectfully while bowing with hands cupped before dragging the weak-kneed You
XiaoMo to the competitor seats.

Tang Fan looks indifferently at the retreating backs and after a moment of silence, suddenly turns
towards Elder Jiang at his side, saying softly, "Elder Jiang, what do you think of the relationship
between Young Xiao and that mage You XiaoMo?"

Being called upon, Elder Jiang is composed, "Answering Grand Master, I think it is very good.
Young Lin has never paid so much attention to any other disciple. So their relationship is a little
unusual. But last night, when I was out on patrol, they had gone to sleep very early. I definitely
didn't find anything unusual."

Tang Fan says seemingly offhandedly, "Young Xiao ever since he came back from that trip down
the mountain, his character seems to have changed a lot ah!"
Elder Jiang's eyes gleam but he doesn't make any comments on this.

After returning to the competitor seats, You XiaoMo finally heaves a sigh of relief. He says with an
anxious heart, "Grand Master is really terrifying!"

Ling Xiao hears these words and quietly raises the corners of his mouth, "He's only but a wily old
fox. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"Of course you're not afraid."

You XiaoMo pouts. The problem is he is not him. He doesn't have that strong of a resistance.

Not long after the two of them take their seats, the time for the competition arrives. The one in
charge is again Elder Jiang. After a few familiar opening remarks, it's time to draw lots. After
drawing lots, Elder Jiang starts to read out the names of the chosen. Luckily, this time it's not Ling
Xiao for the first match. It's two brother disciples of similar strengths.

One of them is the one that challenged Ling Xiao yesterday, Lei Ju. The other one is ranked ninth on
the list, Luo Xia, the one that is always together with Zhou Peng.

Lei Ju is sitting in the first row. Hearing his name, he stands up but doesn't immediately get on
stage. Instead he turns towards Ling Xiao and gives him a challenging look, as arrogant as ever.

You XiaoMo feels that right from the beginning, this Lei Ju has always been targeting Ling Xiao.
Especially when everyone was looking at the clothes on his body, only him was insistently staring at
Ling Xiao. That look carries a feeling of disgust. He can't help but look over at Ling Xiao only to find
his handsome face is still smiling indifferently.

Qie, pretentious bastard. Go ahead and put on an act!

Not longer after the start of the match, Lei Ju adopts a fight a quick battle to force a quick win
method.

Lei Ju and Zhou Peng are both of the strength class of martial artists. But Lei Ju's explosive force
and stamina is stronger than Zhou Peng. On top of that, his speed is also not bad so he is someone that
is not easily dealt with. Even Zhou Peng would be at a disadvantage going up against him, what more
Luo Xia who is weaker than Zhou Peng. Even less of a chance at winning.

The two of them exchange over a hundred blows when Luo Xia slowly starts to lose ground. The
right hand holding the sword starts to shake from the blows.

"Luo Xia has lost."

Ling Xiao says softly.

Just when he uttered those words, You XiaoMo sees Lei Ju hammer his fist on Luo Xia's sword. A
clear sound rings out and the sword actually breaks into two, with the other piece falling onto the
stage. As for the body that receives the blow on the chest, that momentum causes him to fly off the
stage again heading straight towards You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao.

Just when Luo Xia was about to hit the ground, Ling Xiao suddenly reaches out and pulls him
down.

Luo Xia holds his chest and wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth. He turns towards Ling
Xiao and says gratefully, "Thank you Elder brother."

Ling Xiao chuckles and nods, withdrawing his hand that is supporting his back. Right then, You
XiaoMo squeezes in. Seeing that Luo Xia is injured, he quickly takes out a magic pill from his magic
bag and puts it in front of him saying, "Big brother Luo, this magic pill can treat inner injuries.
Try and see."

Luo Xia looks up in surprise and sees a young man looking at him with concern.

Actually he himself has healing magic pills. It's unavoidable that this competition would result in
injuries so most of the disciples have more or less prepared some healing medications. But he rarely
sees someone showing such pure concern for him so Luo Xia only hesitates a little before taking the
magic pill and swallowing it down in front of him.

You XiaoMo sees him take it then starts to smile happily.

But he doesn't know that Luo Xia taking his magic pill is in itself a sign of trust towards him.

This is something that is very hard to obtain. Because many martial artists will not trust mages
without reason. Mages will also not trust martial artists without reason. Even though they have a
mutually dependent existence, they can also become enemies. Of course, the quality of the magic pills
is also an issue.

You XiaoMo doesn't realize this but Ling Xiao takes notice causing him to take another look at Luo
Xia.

On the stage, Lei Ju doesn't say anything, and again looks challengingly at Ling Xiao as if saying
'I'm waiting for you', such a look of bromance ah!

After Elder Jiang proclaims the winner, the next round begins. The second match is between two
sister disciples that have entered the sect for some time. Women of natural beauty. Although their
looks cannot be compared to Tang YunQi, they still enjoy considerable popularity in TianXin sect.
Their supporters are also not few.

One of them is Liu LiQing. The one is Tantai MiaoYin. Both are outstanding fresh-faced beauties.
But Liu LiQing's character is stronger than Tantai MiaoYin.

Right after the two of them get on stage, the brother disciples below start cheering loudly, each
with their own camps.
A competition can only be called a competition with this kind of atmosphere. Like when Lei Ju was
competing, the audience was basically silent. It's obvious that image is also very important.

Both of the beautiful women bow towards each other and then accompanied by shouts of
encouragement, start to compete.

One pink and one white, two exquisite figures entangling with each other. The *keng qiang* sounds
of swords clashing continuously falling on the ears. The graceful figures seem to be dancing, causing
the hot-blooded men below the stage to seethe in excitement. Both camps cheering until their voices
turn hoarse and lungs start to crack.

You XiaoMo is also very excited. This is exactly the type of adorable girl in his heart. Not just
beautiful, but also strong.

Just when You XiaoMo's eyes are glued to the women, Ling Xiao at his side is feeling especially
bored.

Chapter 70

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Pretentious bastard.In Ling Xiao's eyes, Liu LiQing and Tantai MiaoYin are really just dancing,
floating around without any power at all. This kind of strength, if they were to take it outside, they
would be cut dead by others in only a few days. Their looks are also so-so. So instead of looking at
the two of them, it would be better to look at You XiaoMo.

Thinking like this, Ling Xiao can't help but move his line of sight from the two of them to You
XiaoMo. Unexpectedly, he finds him staring with sparkling eyes at the two women on the stage,
seemingly unable to tear his eyes away. For no apparent reason, a surge of fury rises in Ling Xiao's
heart.

You XiaoMo doesn't realize that the person next to him is already in a bad mood, still staring with
rapt attention.

Ling Xiao restrains his anger and says gently, "Little brother, are you enjoying the sight?"

You XiaoMo nods happily, answering without even turning his head, "It's awesome, the two big
sisters are really something."

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes dangerously, "Oh, is it their fighting skills that's awesome, or their
looks that's awesome?"

You XiaoMo finally reacts, hearing those words, he somewhat shyly lowers his head, saying in a
soft voice, "Both are awesome. Don't tell me you don't think ....... "

He says as he raises his head and glances over at him. As a result, that last word remains stuck in
his throat.

"Don't think what?"

Ling Xiao smiles widely as he looks at him.

"Nothing ....... "

You XiaoMo shudders. He is very familiar with this expression. So familiar that he can't but shiver
involuntarily each time he sees it. Aiya ma, what has happened? This uncle, why is he angry now? He
only knows that every time Ling Xiao gets angry, he's the one that's in trouble.

"Nothing ma, then what were you looking at with such rapt attention just now?

Ling Xiao continues to smile slightly.


"Uh, look ....... looking at them fight ....... "

You XiaoMo continues to shake.

"What's so great about a fight?"

Ling Xiao says sweetly.

"Actually ....... actually there's really nothing great about it ....... "

Hearing his saccharine voice, You XiaoMo drops goosebumps all over the floor.

These words satisfies Ling Xiao. The sweet yet sinister smile on his face immediately disappears,
replaced with 'brotherly affection' as he rubs You XiaoMo's head. He smiles as he says, "Since it's
nothing to look at, so we'll just not look."

You XiaoMo nods his head over and over, but he's silently crying inside. Elder brother Ling is
really terrifying!

At this time, the competition on the stage is entering the final stages. Unexpectedly, the winner is
actually Tantai MiaoYin.

On the stage, the white chiffon dress is fluttering loosely, enhancing the elegance and gracefulness
of Tantai MiaoYin, with smooth glossy skin, standing high on the platform like a goddess that has
descended from heaven. Because she just went through a fierce fight, that goose egg-like melon face
is stained with two flushed cheeks, like fresh pink flowers of delicate beauty. The refreshing
gracefulness appears even more charming and moving. This kind of seemingly gentle and soft beauty,
actually winning over the relatively stronger Liu LiQing.

Liu LiQing who was driven off the stage also clearly did not expect this outcome, staring
dumbfounded at Tantai MiaoYin on the stage with eyes of utmost disbelief. Maybe she was over-
confident. But it can't be denied that TanTai MiaoYin concealed her power.

From the start she cleverly reserved twenty percent of her strength, pretending to be evenly
matched with Liu LiQing right up to the point when she exhausted her strength. Then taking advantage
of her thinking that both of them are at their breaking point, lowering her guard, at this time, she
suddenly showed her strength. This was how she pulled off her surprise attack!

This is a lesson but also a clear show of Tantai MiaoYin's real strength for all to see.

"Big sister Liu, you let me win!"

Tantai MiaoYin cups her hands towards Liu LiQing that is below the stage. Her clear crisp voice is
earnest, unaffected and sincere, immediately winning the hearts of most people. Then she glances as if
by chance at Ling Xiao.

This glance is coincidentally noticed by You XiaoMo who is furtively looking over there.
But You XiaoMo is not so narcissistic that he would think that Tantai MiaoYin is looking at him.
Although she is indeed looking in their direction, at his side there is still the 'super awesome' Ling
Xiao.

This causes You XiaoMo to lower his head somewhat dejectedly. He doesn't have what it takes to
attract women, especially when he is together with Ling Xiao. You XiaoMo has no idea that this
action of his unintentionally puts him in Ling Xiao's good graces.

Ling Xiao also noticed Tantai MiaoYin's glance. But because they are sitting together, he thought
that Tantai MiaoYin may be looking at You XiaoMo, becoming immediately displeased. But when he
sees You XiaoMo lowering his head and not looking at Tantai MiaoYin, that bit of displeasure is
immediately kicked to the corner.

"Little brother, don't be so mournful. It's now only the second match, there are still a few
more after this. Take your time and watch."

Ling Xiao beams while consoling him.

You XiaoMo pouts. Who was it that just forbid him to watch the competition?

On the other side, seeing that Ling Xiao's attention is not focused on her, Tantai MiaoYin gets off
the stage feeling somewhat disappointed. She had thought that she would be able to use this
competition to let Elder brother take more notice of her. This way she would have the chance to show
more of her good points to Elder brother.

On the opposite side, taking in her every move, Tang YunQi snorts derisively. Dare to go up against
her for Elder brother? Not a chance in hell!

Tang YunQi knows that her Brother Xiao is very outstanding. There are many sisters of TianXin
sect that like her Brother Xiao, one of them is Tantai MiaoYin. Other people may not be able to tell
that she is interested in her Brother Xiao but, she as a woman, can see it as clear as day. But in her
eyes, this rival is of no consequence. She nows that her biggest obstacle right now is the one sitting by
Brother Xiao, You XiaoMo.

Thinking of this, Tang YunQi glares hatefully at You XiaoMo. She had wanted to wait until the final
stage but seeing You XiaoMo actually wearing Brother Xiao's clothes, she feels so jealous that she
could die, making her unable to wait any longer.

After a brief interval, the competition starts up again.

The third round, the fourth round ....... the eleventh round, everyone keeps raising their head in
expectation, raising to the point that their necks have grown longer. The first eleven rounds actually
did not result in Ling Xiao being chosen. One round after another of disappointment, right up to the
last round with only three pieces of paper remaining in the drawing box.

Because there are twenty five people competing in the second stage, one to one is twelve fights.
This way, one will be left over. So the next draw will be for the the last fight. As for the last
remaining piece in the box, that person will be the lucky one that receives the bye and proceed to the
next round.

Everyone is looking closely at Elder Jiang's every move, full of anticipation. But the ones that are
most anxious are the two brother disciples that have yet to compete. Thinking that it is highly likely
that they will have to face Ling Xiao, they both lose hope. So the both of them are praying in their
hearts. Please don't let them fight Elder brother. Let them get the bye or let Elder brother get the bye.

Elder Jiang's face is as calm as water, not the least bit ruffled. Under the weight of everyone's eyes,
he calmly reaches into the box and slowly takes out two pieces of paper. Opening them up, he glances
at the names. With a barely noticeable frown, he says, "The contestants for the twelfth fight are
Chen Yang and Gao Jun."

This outcome really leaves some disappointed and the rest celebrating!

The disappointing part is that Elder brother won't be fighting for two days in a row. This leaves the
people that have been eagerly waiting to see Ling Xiao fight extremely disappointed. The happy
people feel that Elder brother has really good luck. The first stage, Brother Zhou Peng withdrew. The
second stage, he receives the bye. His luck is really extraordinary.

But there are also those that are both happy and sad - Chen Yang and Gao Jun. Happy because they
don't have to fight Elder brother. Sad because they are not the ones that received the bye. A really
uncomfortable feeling that one rarely experiences in a lifetime.

"Elder brother Ling, your luck is really too good."

You XiaoMo earnestly gasps in admiration. If only his own luck is as good as this.

"Sometimes good luck is not necessarily a good thing."

Ling Xiao smiles with an unreadable expression.

"Why?"

You XiaoMo asks in astonishment.

This time, Ling Xiao didn't put up a barrier, so the disciples around him heard what he said. All of
them perk up their big ears in an attempt to listen in. They are also very curious as to why Elder
brother would say these words. Isn't receiving the bye something that is worth celebrating?

Ling Xiao slowly raises the corners of his mouth, "I already waited so long. I had thought that
soon I would be able to get on stage and practice my moves, but ....... "

The rest doesn't have to be said. Everyone can come to the conclusion that he is disappointed that
he wasn't chosen and that he still really wants to get on stage and go for one round.
Hearing these words Chen Yang and Gao Jun immediately thank their lucky stars. Thank goodness
they didn't have to go up against Elder brother. If by chance Elder brother gets overly excited,
wouldn't they be beaten until they are half dead? Looks like they are the lucky ones. Thinking of this,
the two of them immediately feel their spirits rising.

The only one not tricked is You XiaoMo. He is the only one that knows that Ling Xiao doesn't want
to compete.

Rather than fighting for others to see, he would rather watch others fighting. That expression is
definitely one that is acted out for the benefit of others. Ling Xiao is essentially an extremely devious
person. It's only that the impression he gives the other disciples is too good. Especially since he
stopped being so ice-cold with the other disciples. The men seem to have made him someone to
model themselves on. The women seem to have fallen for his fake gentle demeanor. That's why no one
is the least bit suspicious. But as someone who suffers heavily from his maltreatment, You XiaoMo is
fully awakened.

You XiaoMo exclaims inwardly, you're such a poser ba!

Notes:congealed fat - smooth, soft and glossy

melon face - oval face

Chapter 71

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Jiang Liu.The last match of the second stage ends when Chen Gao accidentally steps on the edge of
the platform causing Gao Jun to press in and go for the win.

Finally Tang Fan stands up and says a few encouraging words before dismissing them. Everyone
goes back to their own rooms but the hour is still early. Just three quarters through the Shen period.
The sun has still not set.

Although the competition ended relatively early, You XiaoMo still found it very enjoyable.
Watching his fellow disciples show such extraordinary skill, he feels even more longing to be as
strong as them. This wish has always been there. It's just that it was thoroughly beat down by his
being a mage. But now it's different after hearing Ling Xiao say that mages are not as weak as others
say. For example when a mage advances until they are strong enough, their soul force will undergo a
qualitative change allowing them to initiate attacks on other people. Although Ling Xiao said that only
high level mages will be able to do this, there is always an exception to everything.

A little over a month ago, since he became Kong Wen's disciple, his status has risen accordingly.
From then on, he is no longer a probationary disciple so his elevated status now allows him to go to
the second level of the library.

The identity tablet is still the one the old man guarding the library gave him. But lately with the
seclusion and other various things, he hasn't had the chance to use that tablet. Now is just the right
time, so he decides to go to the library and look around to see if he can find some books on the soul
force. On it should be written some things that he doesn't know. He firmly believes that heaven
always leaves one door open!

Ling Xiao knows that he wants to go to the library so he wants to follow along. The library is not
within the Central lineage so someone must follow him out. Otherwise, he will be stranded outside by
the barrier.

"What kind of books to you want to borrow?" Ling Xiao asks after some consideration.

"Those related to the soul force. And also ancient books on magic pills and magic herbs. The
library has multiple levels. I've only been to the first level so this time I want to go take a look at
the second level."

You XiaoMo conceals his real reason, only saying seventy to eighty percent of the truth.

"Soul force? Aren't you currently training your soul force? Why do you need the books?"

Ling Xiao looks directly at You XiaoMo. Reading up on magic pills and magic herbs will
definitely increase knowledge. But he doesn't think it is necessary for the soul force.
You XiaoMo looks away guiltily, "Uh, there are still a few things that I don't quite
understand."

Ling Xiao raises his brows as he takes in his expression, a smile appearing on his lips. Not
knowing to rein in his expression when telling a lie. Ling Xiao intentionally teases him saying, "If
there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me now. After all, the hour is still early."

A few drops of cold sweat immediately form on his forehead. You XiaoMo didn't expect him to
actually hit the nail on the head. He glances at him resentfully and lowers his head as if to let out his
exasperation before revealing his real intention, "This morning you said that mages can also
initiate attacks on other people but it's only possible for high level mages. You also know how
poor my innate talent is. So I want to see if there are any shortcuts that can enable me to change
the nature of my soul force."

"Are you an idiot?"

Ling Xiao raises his brows at his words.

"I'm not an idiot."

You XiaoMo doesn't know why he said that but he still refutes it in a soft voice.

"If you're not an idiot then why are you not practicing the alchemical techniques in front of
you and yet insisting on going to the library to find some lousy shortcut?"

Ling Xiao had always thought that he is very stupid but he didn't think that he so stupid to such an
extent.

You XiaoMo is momentarily stunned but soon realizes what he means. His eyes open wide as he
exclaims in surprise, "Are you referring to the Heavenly Soul Scroll? Just by practicing it, the
nature of the soul force can be changed?"

Ling Xiao raps him on his head, "Of course. Why else would it be called a top grade alchemical
technique!" How stupid can he get?

"Wu ....... That time you didn't tell me that practicing the Heavenly Soul Scroll will have that
effect. I thought that it will only increase my soul force."

You XiaoMo covers his head as he cries *wu wu*. What kind of thing is a top grade alchemical
technique, he basically has no idea.

"So now you know?"

Ling Xiao looks at his pitiful expression and laughs inspite of his anger.

You XiaoMo hesitates a little before asking: "Then how long do I have to practice to get that
effect?"

Ling Xiao thinks back to the time he translated the contents of the Heavenly Soul Scroll, "The
Heavenly Soul Scroll has six levels altogether. The first three levels are relatively easy. But it is
quite difficult to break through from the third level to the fourth level. But because of that,
when you break through to the fourth level, your soul force will undergo some qualitative
change."

"I understand. I will try my best to practice until the fourth level."

You XiaoMo looks forward to that day when he hears this and immediately resolves to achieve this
second goal. The first goal is to try his best to earn money to buy magic herb seeds. And also there's
the entrance exam a few months later. Although he is already a formal disciple of TianXin sect, he
still has to go through this procedure.

"Idiot!" Ling Xiao sees the gleam in his eyes and can't help flicking him on his head, "So do you
still want to go to the library?"

You XiaoMo turns red, feeling both vexed and embarrassed. He quickly shakes his head, "For
now, there's no need. I'll just go when I go back. Since there is still a lot of time now, I'll go
refine magic pills."

He immediately runs off after saying this.

Ling Xiao looks at his back running away. He suddenly feels that You XiaoMo would not be able to
survive without him. So hopelessly stupid.

Thinking like this, his heart suddenly swells with satisfaction and happiness, almost to the point of
bursting out of his chest. Ling Xiao has never felt like this before so he can't help but frown. He seems
to be placing more and more importance on You XiaoMo but it's too bad that he can't figure out the
reason no matter how much he thinks about it. So he just leaves the room and goes looking for Luo
Xia and the others.

Originally he only trusts Zhou Peng alone because in Lin Xiao's memory, Zhou Peng is an
absolutely loyal person. That's because he knows Lin Xiao's secret. As for yesterday's competition,
Zhou Peng withdrew precisely because he didn't want his Elder brother to reveal his true strength.
But Zhou Peng's increase in power is also related to Ling Xiao. In order to appear more genuine, Ling
Xiao intentionally gave him a few pointers.

As for Luo Xia and Qin ShiYu, these two are still at the observation stage in Lin Xiao's memory.
But seeing Luo Xia accept You XiaoMo's magic pill earlier, Ling Xiao feels that he can test this Luo
Xia out. But before leaving, he weaves a barrier surrounding the room.

You XiaoMo doesn't care that Ling Xiao is leaving, taking out the equipment and materials needed
to refine magic pills from his magic bag.
When everything is ready, a sudden knock is heard from the outside. At first, You XiaoMo thinks
that it is Ling Xiao returning so he is just about to go open the door when he suddenly realizes that if it
is Ling Xiao, there's no way he would be so polite, so the person outside is definitely not Ling Xiao.
He immediately walks back and puts the magic herbs and cauldron back into his magic bag before
going to open the door.

You XiaoMo opens the door and sees the person standing outside, seeming a little surprised, "You
....... "

He forgot his name.

That person sees him and smiles revealing two shallow dimples, "I'm Jiang Liu. Do you still
remember me?"

When he says the name, You XiaoMo immediately remembers. This is the young man that
supposedly came from the same village as him and was chosen to enter TianXin sect at the same time
as him. And later was taken away by Heaven peak because of his high innate talent. Also when he
first came to, this was the first person he saw so it left some impression on him.

"So it's you. Is there anything you need?"

You XiaoMo smiles as he asks. He left a pretty good impression on him from that time.

"Do you have time now?"

Jiang Liu laughs *ha ha* as he asks.

"Now ah? I guess so."

Although he was just about to refine magic pills, You XiaoMo feels that this is a rare opportunity to
meet up with someone from his village. He can put off refining magic pills for now since he still
wants to ask about his hometown the Peach Blossom Village to avoid being found out if he were to
meet someone from there.

"Since it's like that, how about we go find some place to have a chat?"

Jiang Liu's smiling face looks straightforward and good-natured yet also a little silly.

This suggestion is just what You XiaoMo hoped for so he agrees without giving it much thought. He
goes back into the room and leaves Ling Xiao a note before going off with Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu's situation is about the same as You XiaoMo. Although he only entered the sect for a few
months, but since his talent is high, this time with the grand friendly competition, his master used this
opportunity to let him come gain some experience and get acquainted with other disciples. His luck is
not quite the same as You XiaoMo because he has a master that really thinks of him but of course that
is because he has talent.
You XiaoMo doesn't know the paths because these few days he spent most of the time in the room
refining magic pills so he is not familiar with the surroundings of the Central lineage. He has no idea
where Jiang Liu is bringing him but the whole way they don't come across any other disciples from
the warrior division. You XiaoMo feels that they don't have to go so far just to have a few words so
he stops him.

"Junior brother Jiang Liu, where are you bringing me?"

Jiang Liu continues moving forward, as if failing to hear him.

You XiaoMo frowns and simply stops walking, standing at the same spot waiting for him to realize.
It turns out to be an effective move. Jiang Liu finally stops and turns around because he no longer
hears footsteps behind him. He thinks that You XiaoMo had left, panic flashing across his face but
after catching sight of You XiaoMo standing a few meters away, he heaves a barely noticeable sigh of
relief.

This is clearly noticed by You XiaoMo who was watching him to see when he would realize that
he is no longer following him. And so, he can't help but become suspicious.

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Missing."Big brother You, why are you not coming?"

Jiang Liu sees his doubtful expression and panic flashes across his eyes.

Although You XiaoMo will sometimes forget this and that and keep his head forward while not
considering the back, but while in other people's domain, he still knows to be a little careful. This
Jiang Liu seems a little odd making it impossible for him to follow along carelessly, especially since
he is from Heaven peak.

"Junior brother Jiang, we are just going to have a little chat. There's no need for us to go so
far ba?"

"This ....... the truth is, I have something to show you so I thought of bringing you straight
there."

Jiang Liu stammers while looking for an excuse. In fact, he had already thought out the
possibilities. From the beginning, he didn't think that You XiaoMo would follow him so easily so he
had prepared an excuse which now comes in handy.

"If I'm not mistaken, this direction is towards the back of the mountain. The thing you're
talking about can't possibly be at the back of the mountain?"

You XiaoMo says doubtfully. If he isn't wrong, this Jiang Liu should be like him, this being his first
time in the Central lineage.

"Yes, yes it is."

Jiang Liu says somewhat anxiously.

You XiaoMo looks at him wordlessly. This person, telling a lie and yet doesn't know how to lie
more brilliantly. Looking at nervous expression, it's obvious that there is something going on.

Although Ling Xiao always says that he is stupid, no matter how stupid he is, he still can see that
something is wrong. Thinking of Jiang Liu's situation and how he came to look for him with no rhyme
or reason, it's obvious that he must have been ordered by someone. As for the person that gave the
order, it's most probably the one that hates him right down to her bones, Tang YunQi. If it is her, then
all this will make sense.

"Junior brother Jiang, I think it is better not to go to the back of the mountain. After all, this
is the Central lineage. It's better if we don't run around recklessly."
You XiaoMo knows that Jiang Liu could have been threatened by Tang YunQi. But even though he
is sympathetic, he still won't just go along knowing full well that it would cause him harm. So he can
only say it in a roundabout way hoping that he gets the hint.

Jiang Liu bites down on his thin lower lip, his eyes showing signs of struggle.

You XiaoMo sees his condition and feels a little uneasy saying, "I know that Tang YunQi asked
you to get me. How about this ba. Go confess to Tang YunQi that I saw through your plan. I'll
let her come look for me herself. This way, she should not give you trouble."

"Big brother You, it's no use."

Jiang Liu takes a glance at him as if wanting to cry and then hangs his head.

"If Big sister Tang knows that I failed in carrying out her order she would definitely not let it
go. Although I am also a Heaven peak disciple, but since Big sister Tang knows that I am from
the same village as you, she also detests me. Sometimes she would even bring some people along
to give me trouble. She even threatened me not to tell Master."

Hearing these words, You XiaoMo frowns deeply. He didn't expect Tang YunQi to be this type of
person. Because she hates him, she even hates someone just for being from the same village. And
using her status as the Grand Master's daughter to bully Junior brother Jiang. This behavior is just too
shameless. But even though he is sympathetic, there is nothing he can do. If not for Ling Xiao's
protection, he would most probably be tormented to death by Tang YunQi long ago.

"Junior brother Jiang, I still feel that you should tell this to your Master. Your Master took a
liking to your potential so he must value you. If you were to tell him, he will certainly look out
for you."

You XiaoMo suggests earnestly and sincerely.

"Thank you. But she is the Grand Master's daughter. I ....... I can't win over her. My master
can help me but he can't help me with everything."

Jiang Liu's eyes are full of tears but he still looks at You XiaoMo with gratitude.

Being looked at with this kind of expression, You XiaoMo suddenly feels a little guilty.

If you consider it all, the reason he is being mistreated is all because of him. If he didn't piss off
Tang YunQi, Tang YunQi would not have shifted her rage onto him just because he is from the same
village. He really did cause trouble for Jiang Liu.

"How about this ba, tell her this for me. Tell her that I will meet her at the fork in the road
we just passed and I will explain it all."

Actually it's not as if You XiaoMo has such noble intentions. Meeting with Tang YunQi in private is
a dangerous thing. But seeing that Jiang Liu is from the same village and also him being the first
person he saw when he opened his eyes, it's all thanks to him that he was able to figure out what kind
of world he had landed into. Now, seeing that Tang YunQi is venting her anger on him, he feels that he
has to bear some of the responsibility.

"Is it ok like this?"

Jiang Liu asks with eyes full of tears.

"I say it's ok so it's ok. After all, if Tang YunQi doesn't succeed this time, she will still come
and trouble me so I might as well get it over with."

You XiaoMo feels the corners of his eyes twitching. He had thought that Jiang Liu is a young man
with a sunny and forthright character. Didn't expect him to be such a crybaby. His tear glands seem to
more well-developed that a girl's, crying at the drop of a hat.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Liu finally stops crying, thanking him wearily.

"En, then you should hurry and go lest she gets angry while waiting and takes it out on you.
I'll go ahead and wait there."

It's too bad he's not a girl, otherwise You XiaoMo may have even rest his hand on him and use a
handkerchief to wipe his face.

"Then I'm going first, goodbye Big brother You."

Jiang Liu waves at You XiaoMo before running of to notify Tang YunQi.

After Jiang Liu disappears from view, You XiaoMo can't hold on any longer. Who asked him to act
tough? Who asked him to be soft-hearted? Now he's in for it. Soon he will have to face that crafty and
unreasonable princess Tang YunQi. Actually ....... he is a little terrified. Thinking it over, You
XiaoMo suddenly feels that is is better if he calls Ling Xiao over. If Tang YunQi really is going to
harm him, at least Ling Xiao would be there. As for Tang YunQi and company, expecting You XiaoMo
to keep the appointment by himself, they completely won't expect that You XiaoMo would want to
involve Ling Xiao. After deciding this, You XiaoMo hums a tune while retracing his steps.

Just not long after he leaves, a black figure appears wordlessly at the place where two of them just
stood. The black figure looks expressionlessly at the direction You XiaoMo was heading, and in a
flash disappears yet again. The afterimage can be seen heading in the same direction as You XiaoMo.

On the other side, Jiang Liu really brings You XiaoMo's words to Tang YunQi.

Hearing that You XiaoMo actually dares to meet up with her, a look of delight flashes across Tang
YunQi's eyes, "Junior brother Jiang, is it really true? You XiaoMo is actually waiting for me up
ahead? Is it possible that he knows my plan so he intentionally said that just to get rid of us?"

"No, he will be there."

Jiang Liu lowers his head so his expression is not readable.

"Fine, I'll believe you ba. I knew it would succeed if I sent you. You did very well. What comes
next has nothing to do with you so you can leave first. Also, I don't want other people to know
about this, so you know what to do ba?"

Tang YunQi pats his shoulder with satisfaction. Luckily she still has this Jiang Liu card to play.
This time she would definitely teach You XiaoMo a lesson and let him know just who Elder brother
belongs to.

"I understand, Big sister Tang."

Jiang Liu grimaces, showing a slight sneer. It's too bad no one notices.

And so Tang YunQi sets off in a grand fashion with her footmen in tow towards where You XiaoMo
indicated. Although that spot usually has a lot of foot traffic, but at this time because of the grand
competition, most people are already resting in order to reappear full of energy at the competition
arena. So there just aren't many people passing through. This is a miscalculation on the part of You
XiaoMo.

Feeling happy and carefree, Tang YunQi and company soon arrive at the meeting point.

But the image of You XiaoMo standing there waiting for them does not materialize.

"Didn't Junior brother Jiang say that You XiaoMo will be waiting for us here? There's just
no sign of him. Can it be that we have been tricked?"

Lackey number one suddenly gets suspicious.

"I think Junior brother Jiang has been fooled by You XiaoMo."

Lackey number two voices out his thoughts.

Tang YunQi's expression flickers ambiguously, "What you have said is reasonable but according
to Junior brother Jiang, You XiaoMo wouldn't deceive him. Now that there is no sign of him,
could it be that there is some other reason?"

In the end, she is still unwilling to give up on this hard fought opportunity.

"How about we wait a while?"

Lackey number one asks cautiously.


"Let's do as you suggest."

Tang YunQi says coldly. If You XiaoMo really dares to deceive her, new hatred piled onto old, she
most certainly would not let him die a peaceful death.

It's just that the three of them don't expect that the one they are waiting for, You XiaoMo won't
appear but someone else comes instead.

Actually, Ling Xiao already sensed it when You XiaoMo left the room. The barrier he set up not
only cuts the room off, it also has the ability to perceive. No matter who goes in and out of it, he will
be able to sense it. So he knows that someone came over looking for You XiaoMo but the scent was
not familiar to him. In any case, You XiaoMo followed that person of his own accord.

Thinking of that, Ling Xiao feels that it shouldn't be a problem so he doesn't pay much attention to
it. But an hour later, Ling Xiao finally feels that something is off. You XiaoMo still hasn't returned and
that is a little odd!

You XiaoMo doesn't know a lot of people especially in the Central lineage. The person he is
familiar with is only Fu ZiLin. Their brothers from the same peak would also not come looking for
him. Even if they did come find You XiaoMo and called him out, it is unlikely that Ling Xiao won't
know who it is.

After realizing that something is not right, Ling Xiao says goodbye to his two Junior brothers and
goes looking for You XiaoMo by following his scent.

Chapter 73

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Kidnapped.The further he goes, the more surprised Ling Xiao gets. He actually doesn't come across
anyone in the Central lineage. Furthermore, the cold air is increasing. That direction is actually
towards the back of the Central lineage mountain.

The five ranges of WuShuang mountain are enveloped in clouds. Also the steepest one is the
Central lineage, especially the back of the mountain. Covered in dense forest with hundred year old
trees, a rugged terrain with bizarre jagged rocks, and frequented by wild animals. Therefore,
disciples are usually not allowed to casually enter the back of the mountain.

You XiaoMo is so weak. If he were to enter the back of the mountain, wouldn't he simply have no
chance of survival?

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao can't help but feel a little irritated. He immediately picks up his speed
and flies towards the back of the mountain. Just when he is almost reaching the back of the mountain,
at the intersection with other roads, he sees a few familiar figures from afar. Among them is the one
that pesters him day in and day out, Tang YunQi.

Tang YunQi could be anywhere else and yet she appears precisely on the road where You XiaoMo
goes missing. Is there anything that coincidental in this world?

Ling Xiao's face darkens, enveloped in piercingly cold air. He appears in front of Tang YunQi.

Tang YunQi only feels a rush of cold air brushing across her face and reflexively closes her eyes.
When she opens them up again she sees the Brother Xiao that she has been longing for actually
appearing in front of her since who knows when. Right then, she forgets what she is here for, her face
lighting up as she runs towards him, "Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

The two footmen behind her not only do not show any signs of delight, their face instead undergo a
huge change, looking at the suddenly appearing Ling Xiao with deathly pale faces.

"You're asking me why I'm here? That's what I want to ask you, Little sister. Can you tell
me? What are you doing here?"

Cold glinting eyes sweep over her, seeing her act as if it is all a coincidence, he feels even more
nauseated towards her.

Hearing these words, the smile on Tang YunQi's face immediately disappears as she remembers
what she is here for.

Turns out the one they are waiting for, You XiaoMo, doesn't appear, instead Ling Xiao appears.
What is the meaning of this? If this was under normal circumstances, Tang YunQi would definitely be
very happy to have this 'chance encounter' with Ling Xiao. But right at this moment, if he finds out that
she was intending to harm You XiaoMo, the consequences ....... she doesn't even dare to imagine,
"This ....... I was taking a walk with my fellow disciples, and unexpectedly we ended up walking
all the way here."

Tang YunQi explains nervously. The ten fingers under her sleeves are already balled up tightly and
turning white, deathly afraid that she would be found out.

A barely perceptible violent look flashes across Ling Xiao's eyes and immediately fades away. In
an instant, he resumes his gentle and refined demeanor, "Little sister really came out for a walk?
This is the forbidden area behind the mountain. You all actually strolled all the way to the back
of the mountain. Can it be that something happened that can only be dealt with behind the
mountain?"

"No, no, Brother Xiao, you're worrying too much. We really just came out for a walk."

Tang YunQi quickly denies, then lowers her head not daring to look at Ling Xiao anymore.

Ling Xiao smiles gently but his eyes are as cold as ice, "Since it's like that, then did Little sister
see You XiaoMo? I just came across someone on the way here. He told me You XiaoMo was
following someone unfamiliar heading in this direction. Could it be that Little sister came
across them?"

"You XiaoMo?"

Tang YunQi immediately acts as if she has no idea, "Don't have ah, we didn't see him at all on
the way here. If Brother Xiao doesn't believe it, you can ask Big brother and Big sister. We were
together all this time."

"Elder brother Lin, Junior sister Tang is telling the truth. We were together all along and
definitely did not come across Junior brother You."

Not waiting for Ling Xiao to ask, the two footmen immediately back up Tang YunQi's words.

"Brother Xiao, I remembered that I still have some things to take care of. If you have nothing
else, then I'll leave first."

Tang YunQi is worried that if they were to stay any longer, You XiaoMo would suddenly appear. If
the two sides were to meet, then their words would be exposed. So she can't wait to leave this place,
even starting to take a step when she finished speaking.

"Not so fast."

Ling Xiao suddenly orders loudly.

Tang YunQi jumps in fright. Standing rooted on the spot, she stammers while looking at Ling Xiao,
"Brother Xiao, is there anything else?"

"You all are sure you don't know where You XiaoMo is?"

Ling Xiao turns and fixes his eyes on her wavering eyes, stressing each and every word.

The three of them uniformly shake their heads. You XiaoMo told them to meet up here. But from the
time they arrived until now, they didn't even catch a glimpse of him. So they really didn't see You
XiaoMo, not to mention know where he is, although Jiang Liu might know.

Ling Xiao assumes that they wouldn't dare to lie to him, so he can only let them leave.

Tang YunQi and company immediately run away in a panic as if having received a huge pardon,
terrified that they will be called back by Ling Xiao as they run.

You XiaoMo's scent definitely has not disappeared. Ling Xiao looks down the road towards the
back of the mountain. If he is not mistaken, You XiaoMo and that person should have headed further
in. What makes him surprised is that other than the scent of Tang YunQi and the other two, there is
actually a scent from another person.

Ling Xiao stands on the spot pondering for a moment with an unreadable expression. He suddenly
leaps into the air and with fluttering sleeves disappears down the small road in the direction of the
back of the mountain.

At the same time, in the pitch black and full of sinister energy back of the mountain, a black figure
runs quickly through the forest, carrying a person on his shoulder. His speed is very fast, occasionally
scaring out some wild beasts, but in a flash, they are all left far behind, right until an endless wall of
dense vines appear in front of them. The black figure stops and parts the entangled wall of vines
revealing a pitch black cave opening, walking right in without any hesitation.

At first it is dark everywhere, but as they gradually head inside, the surroundings get brighter.

You XiaoMo opens his eyes and immediately the brightness stabs his eyes causing to him to close
them again to get used to the light. When he reopens them, he feels as if he has gone up to heaven .......

The vast white world seems to be like work of the gods. Exquisite ice sculptures are everywhere.
Sculptures of beautiful women, landscapes, plants, animals, as if anything you can think of is here.
Each piece seems to have been meticulously carved. Such a colossal project, if it wasn't done by over
hundreds or thousands of people, it probably couldn't have been completed in a short time.

This is a very huge mountain cave. A thousand zhang in width, a hundred zhang in height. There are
no openings at the top, as if the whole mountain cave is set inside a mountain.

This ice carving world seems to have existed for a very long time. The refreshingly cold air is not
bone-penetrating. Although You XiaoMo can feel the whooshing cold, he can still bear it.

The black figure walks forward a few steps and not caring if You XiaoMo has awakened, just
suddenly throws him down.

An 'ai yo' cry is heard. You XiaoMo didn't expect to be suddenly thrown down so he is too late to
stop himself from falling on his butt. The floor is a hard piece of ice. Falling on it almost causes his
butt to break into four pieces.

You XiaoMo rubs his butt while grimacing as he looks up.

The black figure is a man. His whole body is wrapped up in black clothes like a ninja, including
his hair. So he can only see the cold dark eyes of the black figure, cold dark eyes that are looking at
him.

You XiaoMo shudders, who can this person be?

In the whole TianXin sect, other than Tang YunQi that is always causing trouble for him, he has not
offended anyone else. He had thought that this person could have been sent by Tang YunQi but upon
further consideration, it doesn't add up. If Tang YunQi had already prepared this move, she wouldn't
have needed to send Jiang Liu to lure him out to meet her.

But if it's not Tang YunQi, he really can't think of anyone else that would want to harm him.

"This ....... Elder, I don't seem to know you. Why do you want to capture me?"

You XiaoMo swallows and swallows. This person doesn't look like someone easy to deal with.
From before until now, those eyes have looked at him coldly, as if wanting to peel off a layer of his
skin.

"Wait here. If you dare to run, I will cut off your legs."

The black-clothed person says with sinister and cold eyes. Saying that, he turns around and leaves.
You XiaoMo waits for him to disappear before crawling up, patting his still painful butt.

Of course he won't do as the black-clothed person says and obediently stay there waiting to die. It
is obvious from the look in his eyes, that person is treating him as a dead man. He guesses that the
black-clothed person is probably capable of killing him at any time. Only a fool would stay waiting.

Turning around he sees that the whole mountain cave is full of ice sculptures. This is his first time
seeing something so beautiful. It's too bad that he has no time to appreciate it.

You XiaoMo sighs. He walks lightly like cat to the cave opening. It has already been a while so
that black-clothed person should have already left ba.

Trusting to luck, You XiaoMo lifts his leg wanting to go out. He suddenly feels an electric shock. A
jolt of electricity flows from his toe spreading to his whole body. This familiar feeling scares You
XiaoMo causing him to quickly withdraw his leg, standing trembling at the cave opening for a
moment.
Bloody hell, there's actually a barrier?

This feeling is definitely not unfamiliar to You XiaoMo. When he went to the library for the first
time, because he didn't know a thing, he jumped in fright when he touched the barrier on the
bookshelves.

But because of this, he gets an important piece of information. That black-clothed person can
actually set up a barrier. That means his power is not low. Thinking of that pair of piercing eyes
sharpened by age, it must be an elder from TianXin sect. It definitely must be!

If this is the case, wouldn't his chance for escape be even more distant and improbable?

Just when You XiaoMo was going round and round in panic, a set of hurried footsteps can be heard
drawing near.

Note:zhang - 3.3m

Chapter 74

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Eating people?You XiaoMo immediately thinks that the black-clothed person is back so he quickly
runs to hide behind the closest ice sculpture.

Because the ice sculpture is very large, and You XiaoMo is relatively thin, his whole figure is
concealed when he hides behind it.

The hurried steps do belong to the one You XiaoMo expected, the returning black-clothed person.
It's just that his expression is more nervous now than it was before he left. After rushing in, his face
darkens when he doesn't see any sign of You XiaoMo. Now he realizes that not tying him up was a
miscalculation.

The ice cave is very large. Furthermore all along there is this strange atmosphere that cuts off
martial artists' perceptive power. If You XiaoMo really wants to go into hiding, he wouldn't be able
to find him easily.

The black-clothed person stamps his foot. What a miscalculation!

Feeling that the wind behind him is getting stronger and stronger, the black-clothed person has no
time to run in and look for You XiaoMo. He takes out the sword that is always be his side and runs to
hide next to the cave opening as the sound of the whistling wind draws near.

When it appears to reach the cave opening, the black-clothed person cries out loudly and with a
swift and violent motion brings down the sword in his hand. A 'qiang' sound is heard. The sword
misses its mark, hitting the ice floor. The strange thing is, the ice floor that received that powerful
blow actually shows no trace of it. But the black-clothed person has no time to think about these
things.

The strange wind enters the ice cave and turns into a person. This person is none other that the one
chasing after You XiaoMo's scent, Ling Xiao.

Hiding behind the ice sculpture, You XiaoMo stealthily pops his head out and sees Ling Xiao
appear out of thin air with his own eyes. He is immediately stunned. What is the meaning of this? Isn't
Ling Xiao a man? How can he appear out of thin air?

As if answering his question, the black-clothed person shouts in a grave voice, "You are not Lin
Xiao!"

The tone is one of a hundred percent certainty.

"You say I'm not Lin Xiao. How are you so sure?"
There is not the least bit of alarm on Ling Xiao's face. A slight smile appears on his lips as he
looks at the black-clothed person, as if they are just chatting about trivial things, and not hostile
adversaries.

The black-clothed person snorts, knowing that he is putting on airs, "No matter how great Lin
Xiao is, he is not someone that can understand these underhanded moves. On top of that, these
days, all your strange actions do not match up with Lin Xiao. In fact, you're just not Lin Xiao!"

"Brilliant! A really brilliant explanation!"

Ling Xiao claps his hands in delight. His manner is like the spring breeze in March, so gentle that
is almost makes people want to drown in it. His slightly open red lips casually tosses out an
explosive statement, "Then you ne, Elder Jiang? In fact, you are also not the real Elder Jiang
ba?"

The pupils of the black-clothed person suddenly contracts. Seeing his confident look, it's obvious
that just like himself, this person is also certain that the other is a fake. But his identity is very
important so before he kills them, he can't admit it. So he says in a cold voice, "Letting me see
through you and now you want to pull me underwater with you? This move of yours is quite
impressive but too bad it's of no use!"

"Haha, a man that is about to die, is there any need for me to drag him underwater?"

Bright laughter overflows from Ling Xiao's mouth.

The black-clothed person fiercely widens his eyes, both eyes reflecting flames of bone penetrating
hatred, "Who dies is yet to be determined!"

If You XiaoMo were standing in front of him, he would definitely warn Elder Jiang in a gentle
whisper not to provoke Ling Xiao at this time. That's because his smile is getting more and more
brilliant.

But right now, You XiaoMo is unavailable. Personally witnessing Ling Xiao angering Elder Jiang
to the point of death with just a few words, it's obvious that he won't have any problems dealing with
Elder Jiang. He decides to wisely protect himself to avoid being used as a hostage. If that were to
happen, he would only be a burden for Ling Xiao.

Elder Jiang is intent on killing off Ling Xiao while desperately wanting to preserve his hidden
identity. He launches a series of swift and fierce moves at Ling Xiao.

The attack techniques that Elder Jiang practices can control the wind. As a mid-level attack
technique, he has practiced this set of moves since childhood. And now after hundreds of years, he
can easily manipulate the air and launch a wind-based attack. And if you add a sword on top of that, it
can change to blades of piercing wind, like knives covering every inch. If they were to cut a vital
point in a moment of carelessness, it would cause death.
Elder Jiang is very confident of his own abilities because he doesn't just practice the wind attack,
he still has another killing move. It's just that he won't use it unless the time is right.

You XiaoMo hiding behind the ice sculpture watches with his heart beating furiously thinking that
he is really powerful. But when he just finishes gasping in awe, he is stunned by the scene in front of
him. When Elder Jiang launches his attack at him, Ling Xiao still doesn't move.

The long sword rings and vibrates as it stabs towards the unmoving Ling Xiao. Then a shocking
scene unfolds. When the long sword and wind blades come within one meter of Ling Xiao, they
suddenly freeze in mid-air. No matter how Elder Jiang tries to force them in, they don't move a single
inch.

Ling Xiao smiles as he raises his hand, "Elder Jiang, wind can also be used this way."

Right after saying this, a fierce strong wind rushes out from Ling Xiao's palm, flipping Elder Jiang
backwards. Immediately, the motionless Ling Xiao suddenly rushes towards the falling Elder Jiang,
appearing close to Elder Jiang in an instant. He raises his strong slender leg up high and cuts across
the air causing an invisible wind to strike Elder Jiang at his vulnerable abdomen. The whole person
immediately becomes like a piece of rag, flying and crashing into the ice sculptures under the wall
.......

A heavy blow, almost making Elder Jiang unable to get back on his feet.

You XiaoMo's mouth hangs wide open, stunned at the sight. This is only a short exchange of blows
and Elder Jiang is actually defeated so soundly?

After finishing off Elder Jiang, Ling Xiao suddenly turns towards where You XiaoMo is hiding,
calling out, "The show is over. Aren't you going to come out?"

Li Ning says anything is possible. You XiaoMo did not believe that before but now he does. He
silently walks out. Ling Xiao is standing not far away, his lips raised as if smiling while looking at
him. You XiaoMo pauses before running up to him, "Elder brother Ling, how did you find me?"

Ling Xiao looks at him up and down deep in thought as if looking to see if he is hurt. He then says,
"Of course I followed the smell on your body."

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

Your real body is that of a dog ba?

"Now, what are we going to do with Elder Jiang?"

You XiaoMo looks at the faraway Elder Jiang. Because the actions before were too violent, the
cloth is no longer covering his face. Even though the face is covered in blood, he can still recognize
him. It really is Elder Jiang. Thinking back, that time when Elder Jiang was spying on them outside
the room, he must have had another motive ba.
"Knowing my secret, of course it's death."

Ling Xiao says without a care. To him, killing is easier than eating.

"Yi, don't you want to ask him why he wants to kill you?"

You XiaoMo asks in surprise.

Ling Xiao's pretty bright eyes suddenly flash wickedly towards Elder Jiang. He says extremely
confidently, "I don't need him to tell me. I can figure it out myself."

You XiaoMo is just about to ask when he remembers something. Since he has a complete hold on
Lin Xiao's memory, he must have a way of getting hold of Elder Jiang's memories. Although he
doesn't know how he does it, he can't help but think that this ability is really too awesome. Why
doesn't he have it ne?!

Just at this moment, Elder Jiang that was lying as if dead on the ground suddenly arches up and
roars upwards. Then a frightening transformation unfolds. Just like that time in HePing town when
they saw the demon Luo Shan. His outer shell suddenly bursts open, lifting high his four limbs, with
bulging flesh, the yellow skin gradually turns to the distinctive black of demons. The red blood
vessels expand suddenly under the skin, twitching sharply, especially terrifying.

Before the time it takes for five breaths, Elder Jiang's transformation is complete. He's actually just
like Luo Shan, a half demon.

The bodies of demons are stronger than that of humans. After transforming, although it won't
eliminate the inner injuries that were incurred earlier, it is much better than before. The scarlet dot in
the middle of the black eyes slowly shift until they fall on Ling Xiao who is standing a few meters
away. A burst of bloodthirsty killing aura fills the air.

In a flash, Elder Jiang's transformed demon body disappears from that spot and in the next instant,
the demon appears to the right side of Ling Xiao. A fist three times the size of a human fist booms
towards Ling Xiao's face.

"Asking for death."

Ling Xiao snorts coldly. In a flash, he seizes his wrist and forcefully twists it. The bones go *ka
cha* and the right hand is immediately useless. But the demon seems impervious, raising up his other
hand. Ling Xiao raises his palm towards his head and attacks. Not sure if it was because the strength
was too great but it actually snaps off the head. The terrifying demon head suddenly hangs backwards
lifelessly.

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

And so the seemingly super strong demon is crushed by Ling Xiao in just a few moves.

Ling Xiao casually throws down the dead and done with Elder Jiang. He turns towards the stunned
You XiaoMo and says, "Next, I'm going to suck up his memories. You can choose to close your
eyes."

You XiaoMo swallows and swallows. He hesitates before shaking his head. He wants to know.

Ling Xiao doesn't try to convince him. He raises his left palm. A round seal suddenly appears on
his before flawless palm. He sees him place his palm on Elder Jiang's forehead. His lips move as if
chanting a spell. Then the demon's body starts to shrivel up bit by bit. Slowly getting smaller. In the
end, the whole body disappears. Only the black ninja clothes remain on the floor.

You XiaoMo turns into stone. Did he eat up Elder Jiang?

Note:Li Ning says anything is possible - Li Ning is a Chinese sportswear brand. Anything is
possible is their old slogan.

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

First awakening of love?Able to magically adopt other people's appearance. Eating magic pills
like eating jellybeans. Able to change into evil wind. Extraordinary strength. Most importantly, he can
actually eat people!

Although he doesn't know how he did it, You XiaoMo is sure that the suck up memories he was
talking about definitely includes sucking up the the person that holds those memories. He feels that he
is very very close to understanding the what really happened but no matter how much he thinks, he
can't push through that last barrier.

After completely digesting Elder Jiang's memories, a memory chip-like thing emerges floating in
some corner of Ling Xiao's consciousness. Elder Jiang's memories is recorded on that chip.

This is also one of his abilities. After absorbing other people's memories, he will store them
independently to avoid letting them get mixed up with his own memories. Lin Xiao's memories was
also handled this way. When he has need for it, he only needs to have the intention and he will be able
to see those memories.

Ling Xiao opens his eyes and looks askance at the stunned You XiaoMo. The corners of his lips
rise slightly, "Terrified?"

"Eh?"

You XiaoMo's soul was floating beyond the highest heavens when he suddenly hears someone
talking to him. He comes back to his senses and sees Ling Xiao looking at him, his dark eyes hiding
unreadable rays of light. He can't help but ask, "Just now, what was that?"

Ling Xiao sees his puzzled face and restrains the glint in his eyes, suddenly smiling, "It's nothing.
Just one of my innate abilities, that's all."

Innate ability? You XiaoMo thinks that this way of saying things is a little strange.

"Oh right, is Elder Jiang like that demon Luo Shan? Also sent by demons to lie low in
TianXin sect and act as a spy?"

"En, Elder Jiang has already lay hidden in TianXin sect for a hundred years. In the beginning
there indeed was a young man with the surname Jiang. But before that person could develop his
fighting skills, he was already replaced by the current Elder Jiang. For a hundred years, he did
not step beyond his bounds, not revealing a single clue. This time, if not for an order from the
higher ups, he would not have taken the risk to eliminate me."

Ling Xiao says offhandedly.


"Why do they want to get rid of you?"

You XiaoMo is very curious.

The demons actually risked exposing their valuable set piece in order to take out Ling Xiao. It only
goes to show how they view Ling Xiao as a nail in the eye that must be pulled out.

Ling Xiao raises the corners of his mouth and smiles at him, "Take a guess."

You XiaoMo immediately loses his smile, glancing at him and says hesitatingly, "Can it be
because you killed that Luo Shan?"

"Close."

Ling Xiao smiles and nods slightly. His unparalleled radiant handsome face looming at him.

Close? You XiaoMo thinks back carefully. At that time, Ling Xiao really did kill that demon Luo
Shan in front of a lot of people. And later, because of that incident, it was exposed that the demons
sent spies to lie low in other sects. It was said that quite a few spies were dragged out. Can it be
because of that? You XiaoMo says uncertainly, "Can it be because you destroyed their grand
plan?"

"Close."

Ling Xiao continues to nod his head but still doesn't give him the real answer.

"Then I don't know."

Already guessed up to this point and it is still not right. You XiaoMo really can't figure it out.

"Idiot! Giving up so easily."

Ling Xiao rebukes him lightly but the expression on his face is one of absolute delight, "The
reason the demons sent Elder Jiang to kill me is because they think I have a way of discerning
half demons. So they want to get rid of me as soon as possible."

Talking about his, You XiaoMo suddenly remembers.

Indeed, at that time, Ling Xiao seems to know beforehand that Luo Shan is a demon. Furthermore,
usually half demons won't reveal their true appearance unless they themselves intend to. And with
Luo Shan's identity, he definitely wouldn't reveal his true form in front of so many people. So the
demon commander must think that Ling Xiao forced Luo Shan to transform. If that's the case, Ling
Xiao really has the ability to see through half demons. No wonder the demons want to get rid of him.

"Elder brother Ling, what are we going to do now? Although Elder Jiang is a half demon,
but if we were to reveal his identity, we will also fall under suspicion."
Thinking of this, You XiaoMo can't help but be worried for Ling Xiao. Elder Jiang is the chair of
the competition. If he doesn't show up tomorrow, the Grand Master will definitely send people to
look for him. If it is discovered that he died here, it doesn't matter if his identity is revealed, everyone
will still be suspicious.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I know what to do."

Ling Xiao says, the least bit affected.

You XiaoMo stares at him for a while and then suddenly cries out in alarm, "Don't tell me you're
going to let someone else pretend to be Elder Jiang?"

Hearing these words, Ling Xiao examines him carefully for a while, his bright handsome eyes
showing surprise. He then laughs, "Little brother, this method of yours is not bad, but ....... where
are you going to find someone to pretend to be Elder Jiang?"

Hearing the first part, You XiaoMo is about to smile when he hears the mocking words that follow.
He immediately holds back his smile, "Then what is Elder brother Ling planning?"

"You know during yesterday's first stage competition, why was it that I and Zhou Peng were
chosen for the first round?"

Ling Xiao doesn't answer his question. He walks around Elder Jiang's ninja clothes. Suddenly he
uses his toe to push lightly at one corner of the ninja clothes. Immediately what sound likes
identification jade tablets can be heard.

"Can it be ....... he wants to test out your strength?"

You XiaoMo's eyes suddenly light up.

"That's right."

Ling Xiao squats down and picks up that jade tablet, "Lin Xiao is the Grand disciple of the
warrior division. Quite a bit of prestige. But these two years, he has been concealing his true
strength. Elder Jiang has very little contact with him so in order to ensure that he can kill Lin
Xiao, he planned to use the grand friendly competition to test out his strength. He didn't expect
Zhou Peng to ruin his plans so he can only look for another opportunity to make his move."

You XiaoMo didn't expect things to actually be so complicated. Thinking back he feels that
something is not quite right, "Elder Jiang wants to kill you. What has that got to do with me? Also
how did he know that I would go out with Jiang Liu this afternoon?"

Ling Xiao suddenly rubs his nose, shifting his gaze away from his face.

"Elder Jiang heard Tang YunQi and the others talking two days ago. He knows that they were
planning to deal with you so he based his plan on theirs. He'll wait for Tang YunQi's people to
lure you out, follow behind and then kidnap you ....... then try to frame your disappearance on
Tang YunQi, oh, something like that."

"No way ba. You mean I was dragged in?"

You XiaoMo says in shock. He had thought that he had somehow offended someone.

"More of less ba."

Ling Xiao says these words somewhat guiltily but You XiaoMo doesn't notice.

"Looks like the Central lineage really doesn't agree with me!"

Ling Xiao actually leaves out a few things. That includes Elder Jiang seeing that they share the
same room, and furthermore, You XiaoMo wearing his clothes, so he had guessed that they could be
lovers. So he thought that if You XiaoMo would to go missing, he would definitely be in complete
chaos, and that would be the perfect time to make his move. That is the real reason!

The reason why he doesn't tell You XiaoMo is because of that one word, 'lovers'.

It must be said that this word makes him feel as if enlightened. The hazy feelings he has towards
You XiaoMo these few days becomes clear in an instant. Turns out the reason why he is always
teasing You XiaoMo is because he likes him?

The great Ling Xiao can't figure it out since he has never been in love. Who knows what a person
in love is like?!

But because of the thoughts of Elder Jiang, the look Ling Xiao gives You XiaoMo is no longer
purely a teasing or joking one. Instead there is an added thread of something inexplicable and
complicated. He thinks that he might have fallen under a spell!

"Let's discuss this after we leave ba."

Ling Xiao keeps the jade tablet.

This jade tablet is only given to the Elders of TianXin sect. Because it is used as a form of
identification, they are usually unique. On top is carved Elder Jiang's name. He only needs to engineer
some fake evidence of his coming to harm and make sure that the timeline doesn't line up with theirs.
In this way, the suspicions won't fall on them.

"Fine. Ai no. I just discovered something. Wait for me a bit."

You XiaoMo also wants to leave here as soon as possible, but when he was hiding behind the ice
sculpture, he seems to have seen something he wasn't supposed to see.

Ling Xiao turns around and sees You XiaoMo run towards the ice sculpture he was hiding behind
just now. He raises his brow and follows him. He finds that You XiaoMo is squinting, looking
absorbedly at that ice sculpture. But it's only an ice-cold ice sculpture. What's there to see?

"Elder brother Ling, help me take a look. What is frozen inside this ice sculpture?"

You XiaoMo notices that Ling Xiao is standing at his side. He hurriedly waves at him his eyes
bursting with excitement.

Ling Xiao glances at his face that is flushed with excitement. He suddenly feels that this face that
usually seems ordinary suddenly starts to move him. He quickly shifts his line of sight, "It actually
looks like a magic herb. But this ice cave is a little strange. It seems to have some kind of
contraption that can cut off the super perceptive powers of human martial artists. This magic
herb is also buried right at the core of the ice sculpture making it hard to discover if not studied
carefully."

"Is there a way to take the magic herb out?"

You XiaoMo looks at Ling Xiao, his heart full or hopeful wings.

Caught off guard, their eyes meet. Ling Xiao looks away abruptly, his heart can't help but fill with
curses. Why is this fellow becoming more and more lovable every time I look at him?

Looting ice sculptures."Elder brother Ling?"

You XiaoMo calls Ling Xiao. He feels that Ling Xiao is a little strange today.

Ling Xiao coughs, "It's not that there is no way, it's just that my way would probably damage the
magic herb inside, so we have to find another way. When I came in just now, I discovered that the
construction of this ice cave is a very unusual. It doesn't seem like it is man-made by hatchets and
chisels. Instead it feels as if it was formed by spiritual energy.

You XiaoMo takes a deep breath. There really is a very strong spiritual energy.

This is really awesome. It's so unexpected that such a magical place exists in WuShuang mountain.
If it was really formed by spiritual energy, then all the ice sculptures in this ice cave may be made of
super concentrated spiritual water.

"Elder brother Ling, if these ice sculptures are really made from spiritual energy, then how
can we take out the magic herb?"

You XiaoMo's face fills with hope. It's not as if he doesn't have magic herbs. But those are level
one, two and three. Level four and above, he doesn't have a single stalk.

That's why he is excited when he sees the magic herb inside the ice sculpture. Because he already
saw it in Kong Wen's courtyard so although he doesn't know what level it is, it must definitely be
level four and above.

"You can try using the soul force."

Ling Xiao suggests gently while looking at him.

You XiaoMo immediately closes his eyes and does as he says, releasing his soul force and slowly
covering the ice sculpture. And then a shocking scene happens. When You XiaoMo's soul force
touches the ice sculpture, the naked eye can see that the ice sculpture melts quickly. Seeing this, You
XiaoMo immediately puts forth more soul force. The originally half the size of a person ice sculpture
immediately melts to form a pool of spiritual liquid with shocking spiritual energy. The magic herb
that was enclosed in the spiritual liquid shakes lightly, with leaves as fresh as jade, with no signs of
damage.

You XiaoMo immediately takes out a small spade from his magic bag. With light hands and feet, he
digs out the magic herb along with the dirt around its roots.

This stalk of magic herb is in a very good shape. It's obvious even to the naked eye that the roots,
stems and leaves are bursting with spiritual energy, to the extent that it is even better than the magic
herbs watered with magic water in You XiaoMo's dimension. Maybe it's because it has been growing
all along in a place full of spiritual liquid, so it is always bathed in the perfect environment, unlike
the magic herbs in his dimension, only watered three or four times.

After admiring it endlessly, You XiaoMo transfers it into his dimension by thought.

"Elder brother Ling, which do you think is better? This spiritual liquid or the magic water in
the dimension?"

You XiaoMo uses his hand to scoop up a handful of spiritual liquid, feeling as if the concentration
of the spiritual liquid is higher than that of the magic water.

Ling Xiao had moved elsewhere to check things out when he was digging out the magic herb.
Hearing his words, he doesn't even hesitate before replying, "Of course magic water is better."

"Why?"

You XiaoMo turns around and asks.

"This ice cave was formed because there are a lot of contraptions underground. Those
contraptions mutually act on each other to form this inconceivable phenomenon. But the
spiritual liquid in here only absorbed the spiritual energy from WuShuang mountain and was
formed by compression. If we consider the purity, it can't compare to the magic water in your
dimension. But ....... "

Ling Xiao doesn't even turn back, landing a kick on a sculpture of a beautiful figure. His foot lands
squarely on the face of the beautiful ice sculpture. You XiaoMo turns to look and can't stop from
pouting, continuing from his words, "But what?"

"But this spiritual liquid is not of no use. You can store them up and use them as leverage."

Ling Xiao turns around, a sinister aura is suddenly apparent in his smile. You XiaoMo sees this and
feels his spirit waver wondering if he is mistaken.

"Are you saying to give away the spiritual liquid?"

You XiaoMo says in surprise.

"Thats right, spiritual liquid to the mystics of LongXiang continent is a very rare treasure. It
can be used to grow magic herbs, and it can also be used like how you use the magic water to
replenish the soul force. That's right ....... "

Ling Xiao suddenly turns around, his profound eyes shining as he looks at You XiaoMo, "Didn't
you say that you were going to auction off the magic pills? This spiritual liquid can also be
auctioned off."
"Really?"

You XiaoMo's shrewd eyes suddenly light up.

"Of course not."

Ling Xiao feels the itch in his heart. Why did he not find this pair of eyes so lively before? Because
of that, on a whim, he automatically teases him again.

You XiaoMo's beaming face immediately falls. Bloody hell, actually deceiving him at this time.
Does he have to be that mean ah?!

When Ling Xiao sees the look of resentment on his face, he immediately recovers. He clears his
throat and laughs *ha ha*, "Just kidding. Of course it's real. This spiritual liquid would probably
fetch a much higher price than your Fasting magic pill. Alright, hurry up and take all the ice
sculptures. We have to rush back before the patrol."

You XiaoMo glares at him saying, "There aren't many barrels left in the dimension. Probably
not enough to hold the spiritual liquid."

Ling Xiao thinks it over and comes up with a way, "First, don't melt the ice sculptures. Try to
see if you can cut them out using your soul force. If you can, move them in chunks. This will be
more efficient and much faster than melting them into spiritual liquid."

You XiaoMo thinks that his way is not bad so he starts to do as he suggests.

Since the soul force can melt the ice sculptures, so cutting them is not a difficult thing. A controlled
soul force in the form of thin beam cuts across the bottom of the ice sculpture. Soon the ice sculpture
separates from the floor and is moved into into the dimension by You XiaoMo. A smooth glossy
surface like a mirror remains on the cut surface of the floor.

Finding this method very effective, You XiaoMo energetically throws himself into it.

Because Ling Xiao has nothing to do, he helps out by looking to see which ice sculptures has magic
herbs or other good stuff hidden in it and then tells You XiaoMo to let him come cut it.

Both of them working together, the speed is pretty fast. In two hours, they cut away one twentieth of
the ice sculptures in the ice cave. You XiaoMo is the first to stop because his soul force is about to be
depleted.

"Lets stop here for today. We'll find another time to come again later. You have already
harvested quite a lot, enough to use for now."

Ling Xiao walks to his side and puts his arm under his armpit and hauls the weak him up from the
floor.
You XiaoMo nods. Although he wants more, the harvest this time is quite a lot. Other than the pile
of ice sculptures in the dimension piled up like a small hill, there are also ten over stalks of magic
herbs. But because he doesn't recognize magic herbs of level four and above, they are also piled up
together for now.

When the two of them leave the ice cave, the sky is already dark.

The back of the mountain is shaded by dense trees that cover the mountain. When the sky gets dark,
it becomes even harder to see anything. Bleak and dreary cold wind penetrate the bones.
Occasionally the roar of wild beasts can be heard. You XiaoMo can't help but rub both his arms. His
legs are weak. If not for Ling Xiao holding him at his waist, he would have ended up sitting on the
ground a long time ago.

"I'll piggy-back you ba."

Ling Xiao says in a low voice next to his ear. The hot breath covers his ear making it both numb
and ticklish. You XiaoMo's whole ear turns red from his breath. He can't help but rub his ear, "Can't
you use some other way?"

Ling Xiao's lips curve up, his smile carries a hint of mockery. He hangs one of his arm over his
shoulder saying, "Little brother. Are you telling me that you prefer the princess hold?"

"Then piggy-back it is ba."

You XiaoMo says immediately. Princess hold? He is not a woman.

"Then get on ba."

Ling Xiao turns his back to him. He bends down slightly revealing the strong powerful contours of
his back, slender with perfect proportions, with a feel of perfect tension. Even the back is so perfect,
no wonder so many women attack him with such starry-eyed infatuation. Comparing oneself to him
will only make one die of frustration.

You XiaoMo hesitates a little before climbing on his back huffing and puffing. He loops both his
arms tightly around his neck. Close contact between men is nothing strange, so in order not to fall off,
he also doesn't act awkwardly bashful.

Feeling the warm body climbing up his back, Ling Xiao reveals a crafty smile of success. When he
straightens up his body, both his hands firmly grasp the the two perfectly round and elastic round orbs
of You XiaoMo's butt. In the morning he already felt it, You XiaoMo's butt is very elastic. It feels very
soft when he was sitting on his thigh, causing the lust in his eyes to almost come rushing out.

Feeling his butt being grasped by two hands, You XiaoMo stiffens.

Letting a man rub his butt is a little awkward. Although the other party is doing it for his own good,
he still feels a little awkward inside.
There's no helping it. You XiaoMo immediately says in his heart. We are both men. It's no big deal.
It will be over in a bit.

Soon he feels himself soaring. The *hu hu* cold wind is whistling past on both sides of him.
Because Ling Xiao's body is shielding him, You XiaoMo doesn't feel the least bit cold. Instead he
feels that the warmth from his body is making him feel especially warm. If it is possible, he doesn't
want to leave.

Ling Xiao's speed is very fast. Fifteen minutes later, they are out of the back of the mountain,
reaching the small path that they were on during the day. From far, they can see the lamps of the
Central lineage. Making use of the cover of moonlight, Ling Xiao dodges past the guards patrolling
outside to the wing of the house. Luckily the guards have just started patrolling so they haven't
reached them. Also the room still has the barrier he set up before so no one discovers that were not in
the room for almost four hours.

After entering the room, Ling Xiao puts You XiaoMo down, "Stay in the room. I'll be back in a
bit."

He turns and leaves.

You XiaoMo immediately asks, "Where are you going?"

"I'll tell you when I get back."

Ling Xiao leaves right after saying that. Leaving the room, he reinforces the barrier before flying
quickly into the dim of the night.

Chapter 77

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Confrontation.That night, You XiaoMo doesn't wait for Ling Xiao to return and just goes to sleep.
After rushing about the whole day, when his head touches the pillow, he soon faints *hu hu* into a
dead sleep. He doesn't even know when Ling Xiao returns.

The next day, before daylight, You XiaoMo is awakened by a loud banging at the door along with a
familiar voice calling out. So noisy that his two ears start to buzz *weng weng*. With his eyes closed,
he uses one of his hands to cover his ears and continues to sleep.

Ling Xiao opens his eyes and lowers his head catching sight of a downy black head again using his
chest as a pillow.

The owner of that head is again like the previous night, like a eight legged octopus wrapped around
his body. Outside, the banging sound is like a gong and yet he is sleeping like a dead pig. Ling Xiao
glances outside the window and sees that it is still dark. On top of that, he slept relatively late last
night, no wonder he is so dead asleep.

Ling Xiao carefully moves You XiaoMo aside. After getting off the bed, he wraps the quilt around
his body. Having lost the warm cozy heat source, You XiaoMo's body shivers involuntarily and buries
half his face into the quilt. The other exposed half is bright red and extremely eye-catching. Ling Xiao
can't stop himself from giving him a pinch. The soft and silky feel almost makes him not want to
leave.

After tucking him in, Ling Xiao slips on a set of clothes and goes to open the door.

The person knocking on the door is Luo Xia. Probably because something big happened, he is so
anxious that his whole head is covered in sweat. When Ling Xiao opens the door, he almost couldn't
stop himself from knocking on his chest. Seeing him come out, he immediately shouts out almost
spraying his saliva.

"Elder brother, it's really bad. Elder Jiang is in trouble!"

"Hold on a second."

Ling Xiao's expression changes a little. He utters those words and immediately turns around and
heads into the inner room to change his clothes.

Upon entering the inner room, he immediately sees that You XiaoMo who should have been
sleeping snugly in the quilt now has one arm hanging out. The delicate fair arm looks like a woman's,
slender and even like a lotus root. One look and it's obvious that he has not undergone physical
training before.
Ling Xiao is suddenly displeased that he is so thin and weak. If he is this weak, what would happen
if he can't run away from enemies?

A certain someone at this moment in time completely doesn't realize that he has started to worry
endlessly about You XiaoMo's future.

Right then, You XiaoMo that was fast asleep suddenly crawls and sits up. Both his eyes are at a
loss as he looks at Ling Xiao who is standing in front of the wardrobe. Ling Xiao obviously did not
expect him to suddenly wake up. He has just taken off his clothes and has yet to put on another. His
strong sturdy chest is simply exposed in mid-air.

Ling Xiao sees that he doesn't make any move after getting up so he is just about to say something
when he hears his questioning voice.

"Yi, was there someone knocking on the door just now?"

" ....... "

Ling Xiao thinks that this reaction is a little too slow.

You XiaoMo doesn't wait for him to reply and looks out the window at the sky outside. Seeing that
it is gray and overcast with no sign of the sun, he pulls up the quilt and lies back down. The whole
process happens fluidly, the bulging quilt only revealing a tuft of black hair.

Ling Xiao, " ....... "

After a while, Luo Xia that was shut outside the door knocks lightly, "Elder brother, are you
ready?"

Ling Xiao quickly finishes dressing up and walks out of the room, closing the door gently behind
him before leaving with Luo Xia. Luo Xia is here under the orders of the Grand Master to bring Ling
Xiao over to talk about the situation with Elder Jiang. On the way, Luo Xia tells Ling Xiao everything
he knows.

In brief, Elder Jiang probably ran into some trouble. Yesterday, after the competition ended, Elder
Jiang and Grand Master left together. The both of them talked about matters relating to the competition
for an hour before Elder Jiang left. The Grand Master had thought that Elder Jiang should have
returned to his room. Actually, everyone thought the same.

Unexpectedly this morning, before daybreak, a disciple went to his room to call him and found that
he was not in his room.

Elder Jiang is in charge of the competition so there are a lot of things for him to do. Hence, he
usually gets up rather early. That disciple discovered that Elder Jiang still had not woken up when it
was already three quarters through the Mao period, so he went to wake him.

Discovering that Elder Jiang is not there and also not with the other Elders, that disciple realizes
that something is not right and goes to inform the Grand Master. The Grand Master immediately sends
people to go find him. In the end, they find Elder Jiang's jade tablet on an overhanging cliff. The
Grand Master and the other Elders suspect that Elder Jiang was most probably killed so the call
everyone together. Ling Xiao as the Grand disciple or course must attend.

"You all must already know why I called all of you here today. I want to hear what you all
think with respect to the disappearance of Elder Jiang."

Tang Fan speaks calmly. His expression completely doesn't reflect that TianXin sect has just lost an
important Elder. After saying this, his eyes fall onto the first position on his lower right, Ling Xiao,
"Young Xiao, you go first."

Ling Xiao stands up and cups his hands while speaking, "Grand Master, I feel that we must first
make sure whether Elder Jiang is missing or whether he has already been killed. Your disciple
knows too little so has no way to judge for now."

Tang Fan doesn't nod nor shake his head. He looks at the others, "Do you all also think this
way?"

Hearing this, the junior brothers that usually have a good relationship with Ling Xiao all nod their
head and express their agreement. As for Lei Ju who is next to Ling Xiao, his face shows a rather
obvious look of disdain.

"Lei Ju, you don't seem to have the same opinion as Young Xiao. Are you saying that you have
a different viewpoint?"

Tang Fan is the first to notice Lei Ju's expression but he doesn't show any displeasure.

"Replying to Grand Master. Lei Ju thinks that it doesn't matter if Elder Jiang is missing or killed. It
is enough to show that there are some people that harbor evil intentions here. Everyone here are must
still remember the pandemonium that occurred not too long ago. It was said that many sects rooted out
demon spies from among their ranks. Although no demons were discovered in TianXin sect, it doesn't
mean there aren't any. So in my opinion, Elder Jiang's disappearance is probably connected to the
demons.

Lei Ju cups his hands towards Tang Fan, his eyes full of rebellious rays. He then looks at Ling Xiao
in a threatening way.

"What Lei Ju says is reasonable, but one mustn't be too impulsive to avoid making everyone
anxious."

Tang Fan is calm, not revealing the tiniest bit of his thoughts. On the surface, he agrees with his
viewpoint but underneath he attacks. This move is with one calls the peak of perfection.

"Thank you for the guidance Grand Master."


Lei Ju cups his hands once again, not the least bit of discomfort showing on his face. Instead he
glances smugly at Ling Xiao. Compared to the brief words from Ling Xiao that don't seem to say
anything, he feels that his is a better answer.

After Lei Ju sits down, Elder Xiao on the opposite side, who is also his Master, opens his mouth.

"Elder brother Grand Master, I suspect that there are spies in the Central lineage. Elder
Jiang's disappearance must be taken seriously."

Tang Fan's gaze sweeps across everyone that is present, saying "We found signs of fighting
where Elder Jiang disappeared. One of those involved is Elder Jiang. I'm afraid it looks more
grim than hopeful. But for this person to actually be able to match Elder Jiang's strength, I
suspect that the murderer is one of us here."

Hearing these words, everyone in attendance show varied expressions.

The shrewd and experienced elders don't show any change in their expressions. As for the few
younger disciples, all their thoughts are written on their faces.

Elder Du who is next to Elder Xiang laughs like the Laughing Buddha, as if unaffected by the
atmosphere. Stroking his tuft of gray beard, he easily breaks the tense atmosphere, "Among us, the
ones that can match Junior brother Jiang's strength, other than us, are only Young Lin Xiao
and Young Lei Ju."

"Du YunCai, what are you implying? Are you saying that my disciple is the killer?"

Elder Xiao immediately speaks up angrily.

"Elder Xiao, there is no need to get angry. You know very well that I am just talking about the
possibilities."

Du YunCai laughs until his eyes narrow into slits as he speaks.

Elder Jiang still wants to object but is cut off calmly by Tang Fan, "What Elder Du said is
reasonable. Lin Xiao and Lei Ju have outstanding talent, indeed able to go one round with Elder
Jiang. In order to prove that they have nothing to do with the disappearance of Elder Jiang, we
only have to ask them where they were when Elder Jiang disappeared. That would be good
enough."

"I'll go first."

Lei Ju is the first to stand up.

"Elder Jiang must have disappeared about three quarters through the Xu period. So from Xu
period to Hai period, where were you, and is there anyone that can confirm it?"
Tang Fan's eyes are like cold blades, gleaming coldly at Lei Ju. The calmness from before changes
instantly to subtly threatening.

Lei Ju's expression changes sharply, saying seriously, "During this time I was with a few of my
junior brothers. We were talking about the the next day's competition right up to a quarter past
the Xu period. After that I returned to the room. At that time, the one rooming with me Junior
brother Jiang Liu was already in the room. He can confirm that after I returned to the room I
was in deep meditation, not taking a single step out of the room."

"Elder Du, I'll have to trouble you."

Tang Fan nods towards Du YunCai.

The Laughing Buddha Elder Du feels rather regretful than he can no longer enjoy this drama. But he
knows the seriousness of the matter so he gets up and cups his hands towards Tang Fan, and leaves the
main hall to look for Jiang Liu.

"Next is Young Lin's turn."

Elder Xiao's threatening gaze turns towards Ling Xiao that is sitting at the top seat.

From the time Ling Xiao entered until now, his performance is worthy or praise. Not too noticeable
yet not insignificant. No sign of panic or unease. Leaving no thread of the spider of trails of the horse
for the few people that are constantly observing him.

Hearing Elder Xiao's words, Ling Xiao stands up and says easily, "Answering Grand Master.
From Xu period to Hai period, I was together with Junior brother You. At that time he was
refining magic pills next to me. He can serve as my witness."

"Elder Xiao, I'll have to trouble you to bring You XiaoMo here." says Tang Fan.

"Yes, Grand Master!"

Elder Xiao stands up and cups his hands. Before leaving the main hall, he looks inscrutably at Ling
Xiao.

Notes:Mao period - 5:00-7:00

pure blue cauldron flame - peak of perfection

Xu period - 19:00-21:00

Hai period - 21:00-23:00

Chapter 78

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Opportunity.You XiaoMo is still asleep when *peng* the door is kicked open.

By the time he climbs out of the quilt in fright, in a daze, he sees a strong and swarthy middle aged
man with a black beard stride into the room like a meteor cutting through no man's land.

"May I ask who you ....... "

"Are you that You XiaoMo?"

Before You XiaoMo could finish his question, the middle aged man reaches out and grips the collar
on his chest, pulling him up, saying in a coarse voice like dull thunder in winter, somewhat grating to
listen to.

Just waking up, his mind still in a daze, You XiaoMo's reaction is off by half a beat, simply
nodding his head.

Elder Xiao sees his weak reaction and knows that he is no threat. He laughs coldly, "Let me ask
you, yesterday from the Xu period to the Hai period, who were you with and what were you
doing?"

"You ....... I can't breathe."

You XiaoMo's face is bright red. This person's strength is too much. He almost can no longer
breathe before Elder Xiao snorts and lets him go.

Speaking of Elder Xiao, his full name is Xiao Shan, someone that is quite deserving of mention in
TianXin sect.

Xiao Shan's has a very short fuse. His 'regards everyone beneath him' attitude is even worse than
Lei Ju. When he speaks, he often carelessly offends people. The reason why he can carry on merrily
until now is because he has a good master. His master is the junior brother of Tang Fan's master. The
seniors are not people that even Tang Fan dares to offend.

The presence of this important backer is also why Lei Ju dares to oppose Ling Xiao. Now that Ling
Xiao is listed as one of the suspects, Xiao Shan of course will not let go of this opportunity.

You XiaoMo coughs drily a few times and hears the person next to him repeat his question
impatiently. Only then does he remember that he just asked him a question. Actually, when Ling Xiao
was called away earlier, he vaguely remembers that it seemed to be related to the matter with Elder
Jiang. But they concealed tightly what they did yesterday so if Ling Xiao doesn't reveal it to them,
these people should not know that he has something to do to with Elder Jiang's situation.
Ling Xiao just left for over half an hour and already this person is here looking for him. So it's very
likely that Ling Xiao told them about him.

Although he and Ling Xiao did not discuss this beforehand, You XiaoMo is still not that stupid to
reveal any weak points to him. Thinking of what they usually do, he simply says, "I was with Elder
brother Ling yesterday. I was refining magic pills. He was meditating."

This was what they did the night before. He guesses that Ling Xiao must have said the same thing.

Xiao Shan's expression is unreadable as he looks at him with a piercing look, as if trying to see if
he is lying. In the end, he fails to detect it and sneers coldly, turning around, "Come with me."

You XiaoMo heaves a sigh of relief when he turns around. He quickly takes a set of clothes from
the wardrobe and puts it on while walking. By the time they reach the Great Hall, he is properly
dressed.

He gingerly follows Xiao Shan inside. You XiaoMo steals a look around and sees Ling Xiao as is
expected. He carefully observes his expression. It is still the usual slightly smiling mask. Looks like
he still hasn't been found out.

"Grand Master, I have brought You XiaoMo."

After saying this, Xiao Shan returns to his seat.

You XiaoMo then notices that Jiang Liu is also in the Great Hall. It's just that his head is looking
downwards so his expression is unclear. He seems to have also just arrived but he doesn't know why
he was called here.

"You XiaoMo, your Elder brother Lin said that you were with him the whole of last night. Is
this the case?"

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Tang Fan at the head seat starts with the questions. His voice
seems remote and indifferent but still maintains its majesty. He is clearly speaking in a measured tone
but to You XiaoMo's ears, it feels like it could shock the deaf.

You XiaoMo immediately cups his hands and says, "Replying to Grand Master, I was indeed
with Elder brother Lin last night."

"Oh, what were the both of you doing last night?"

Tang Fan's voice is flat, not revealing any of his thoughts.

"Replying to Grand Master, yesterday your disciple was refining magic pills. Elder brother
Lin was meditating."

You XiaoMo repeats what he said to Xiao Shan. This time he speaks with more confidence
because if something is wrong, Ling Xiao would have certainly found a way to let him know.

"All the way here and you're still working so hard. No wonder Junior brother Kong took you
as a disciple. Not bad. What magic pills did you refine yesterday, bring them out and let me see."

Tang Fan's serious expression abruptly reveals a light smile as if he is an amiable elderly fellow.

"Yes, Grand Master!"

You XiaoMo's heart suddenly gets cold but he doesn't dare to show it. Then he somewhat nervously
takes out a white bottle from his magic bag and respectfully brings it forward and hands it to him.

Tang Fan takes the bottle, opens the stopper and pours out a magic pill. The medicinal fragrance is
not very strong. It's an ordinary level one Fasting magic pill. Definitely nothing special about it. After
a rough glance, he puts it back, "Not bad, keep working hard. Strive to be an outstanding mage so
you can be of service to TianXin sect. Step down ba!"

You XiaoMo takes a step forward and takes back the bottle. He says respectfully, "I will try my
best. I will definitely not fail to meet Grand Master's expectations."

Saying this, he withdraws to one side thinking that what comes next would probably have nothing
to do with him.

"This matter will end here for today. Elder Jiang coming to harm, I will send people to figure
it out. Everyone can leave ba."

Tang Fan waves away everyone present, unwilling to let the matter drag on. In a bit, the third stage
of the competition will commence.

Xiao Shan and Lei Ju, master and disciple as if communicating by magic horn, turn to look at Ling
Xiao before leaving the Great Hall, one after another.

Ling Xiao walks up to You XiaoMo and leaves the Great Hall with him. The other disciples also
leave one after another leaving Jiang Liu to follow behind by himself. Everyone seems to have
forgotten about him.

When they reach the living quarters, You XiaoMo immediately runs into the room. He holds his
chest as if holding down his shock, "Scared me to death. Grand Master's eyes are very piercing.
Just now, I almost thought that he had seen through me."

Ling Xiao walks to his side and picks up the teapot and pours a cup of tea for him, "Tang Fan that
wily old fox. Up till now he still suspects me. With you being close to me, questioning you is to
be expected."

"Luckily I refined a bottle of level one Fasting magic pills before this. Otherwise, if I really
didn't have any magic pills to give him, then he would have really seen through my lie."
You XiaoMo almost wants to applaud his own ingenuity. Speaking with the Grand Master is really
too stressful for his heart.

"Before, when Xiao Shan came to call you, did he do anything to you?"

Ling Xiao sits in front of him, his eyes shining as he stares at You XiaoMo's cheeks that are dyed a
light pink, as if wanting to see through to his skull.

You XiaoMo shakes his head, "No, but he is very rude. Without knocking, he simply kicks in
the door and comes in. Not the least bit like an Elder. On top of that, he didn't even wait for me
to put on clothes. He actually ran straight in and seized my collar. Luckily I wasn't dead asleep
so I quickly woke up."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao calmly narrows his eyes, ice-cold rays are hidden at the bottom of his eyes.
That old man actually dared to touch his man. Since they themselves are so persistent, then don't
blame him for not being polite.

Elder Jiang's come to harm was not leaked out so a lot of disciples are unaware of this issue.

The competition starts on schedule with the presider changing to Xiao Shan. He is not as smooth as
Elder Jiang but everyone doesn't pay much attention. After listening to the familiar opening remarks,
he starts to draw lots.

After going through two rounds of eliminations, there now remains only thirteen people. If nothing
unexpected happens, today, the final winner will be determined.

Xiao Shan takes out two pieces of paper from the box. Opening them up, his eyes can't help but
widen a little, as if he can't believe what he is seeing. But under everyone's watchful eyes, there is
nothing he can do. He can only toughen his scalp saying, "The competitors for the first match are
Ling Xiao and Lei Ju, please come on stage."

The audience and the competitors suddenly quiet down considerably.

This circumstance is similar to the first stage of the competition. It's just that the one picking the
names is now Xiao Shan, and on top that, he is the one that picked Lei Ju to compete with Ling Xiao.
This means that one of them will be eliminated, with no chance of advancing into the top seven.

Everyone's expression suddenly becomes very excited, it's going to be one helluva show.

Ling Xiao playfully raises the corners of his lips. It's really 'if one wishes for it, it will come'. He
was just thinking of a way to teach Lei Ju a lesson, not expecting it to be presented on his doorstep. It
would be wrong not to make full use of this opportunity from Xiao Shan.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao stands up and is about to get on stage when he suddenly feels a tug on
his clothes. Looking down he sees You XiaoMo pulling on his clothes.
"Elder brother Ling, you have to be careful. That Lei Ju looks very strong."

You XiaoMo urges softly.

A flash of warmth appears in Ling Xiao's eyes. He can't help but pat his head, "Don't worry, I
don't have to be careful. It's only one Lei Ju."

Saying this, he picks up the sword Luo Xia hands to him.

The real Lin Xiao uses a sword!

Seeing him turn around, You XiaoMo pouts. This megalomaniac. But he really has what it takes.
Lei Ju indeed looks very strong but he is definitely not as strong as Elder Jiang. Ling Xiao can even
kill off Elder Jiang so one Lei Ju is really not something to be concerned about.

Note:magic horn - telepathic

Chapter 79

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

The most vicious way to win.Two figures on the huge stage, one white, one black.

The white one is of course Ling Xiao. White seems to be his trademark these days. Ever since You
XiaoMo got to know him, he has not seen him wear clothes of any other color. The black one is
therefore Lei Ju.

This Lei Ju is very arrogant. Although he has been ranked number two for an eternity, he is rather
peculiar. He never gets discouraged. Instead, he gets braver with each fight. Every time Ling Xiao
beats him down, he will always get right back up again and continue with his arrogant challenging
manner. Simply just like a cockroach that can't be killed!

This competition, in the eyes of others, Lei Ju is probably not a match for Ling Xiao. But he himself
doesn't think so.

"Lin Xiao, I have been waiting for this day for a very long time. This time I'll let you get
acquainted with my strength to avenge for the last time."

Lei Ju holds a wolf fang spiked club over his shoulder. This is his weapon of choice. It's just that
his strength is pretty good so he rarely carries it around. But this time with Ling Xiao, he doesn't have
enough confidence that he would be able to beat him without a weapon. So from the start, he brings
along the wolf fang club. Such a huge wolf fang club, thicker than his arm, if one really receives a
direct hit, at best, the bones will crack, the worst, totally disabled.

Ling Xiao swings the sword in his hand, smiling at Lei Ju's provocative look, "I believe I will get
acquainted."

Below the stage, You XiaoMo covers his face. Looking at the brilliant smile on Ling Xiao's face,
he feels that the real meaning of his words is 'I believe you will die a miserable death'.

The sword technique that Lin Xiao practices is the same as Elder Jiang's, Unwavering Imperial
Sword.

Unwavering Imperial Sword is one of the best if not the best attack technique in TianXin sect.
Although it is a mid-level attack technique, it is a top grade mid-level technique. A lot of the core
disciples and elders practice this attack technique. But there also those like Lei Ju who practice a
club technique. Whichever suits one better.

As soon as Xiao Shan declares the start of the match, Lei Ju brandishes his wolf fang club and
rushes at Ling Xiao. Running at maximum horsepower, even the people below the stage can feel the
effects. A gust of strong wind rushes at their faces, alarming everyone causing them to flinch and
almost jump from their seats.
*Qiang*!!!

A loud colliding sound rings out. Lei Ju's wolf fang club is easily stopped by Ling Xiao's sword.
Seeing that the situation is not good, Lei Ju immediately moves his hulking strong frame backwards
two meters, only stopping when he feels that he is at a safe distance. A set of sinister ruthless eyes fix
on Ling Xiao, as if trying to seek out his weakness.

Compared to the cautious actions of Lei Ju, Ling Xiao appears much calmer. His sword is pointing
at Lei Ju. His face is expressionless, as if he is really taking this battle very seriously.

Seeing this expression of Ling Xiao, Lei Ju snorts coldly.

Others may not be able to tell, but he knows that when Ling Xiao stopped his blow just know, he
seems to have used up eighty percent of his energy. Don't think he can't tell, his hand was clearly
shaking just now. So seeing his look now, he simply thinks that he is putting on airs.

Ling Xiao's back is towards Tang Fan and the elders. A look of playfulness flashes across his eyes.
He bends his body slightly and just when Lei Ju is preparing to launch his second wave of attack, his
feet seem to grow wings as he rushes towards Lei Ju. The speed can't be considered slow, as if only
taking a blink of an eye to reach in front Lei Ju. The sword in his hand streaks across the air cutting a
curved arc.

Lei Ju turns pale in fright. Right now it is too late to get out of the way so he quickly uses the wolf
fang club in his hand to ward him off.

*Qiang* rings out, the clashing sound reverberates. A hint of delight flashes across Lei Ju's eyes.

Ling Xiao's lips suddenly arc upwards. This is not lost on Lei Ju who is only inches away. He
inwardly curses 'not good', and the next second, a strong leg kicks him on his completely exposed
waist. Because he used the wolf fang club to ward off the blow, this causes his whole right side to be
completely defenseless. So Ling Xiao seizes this opportunity and gives him a hard kick. The waist is
already the weakest part of the human body. On top of that, Ling Xiao was not merciful with his kick.

Lei Ju staggers to his left. The dull pain washes over his body in waves. If not for his extraordinary
endurance, he most probably wouldn't even be able to remain standing. By the time he turns his head
around, the tip of Ling Xiao's long sword is right between his eyes.

Lei Ju widens his eyes fiercely, looking at Ling Xiao with eyes that are bursting with fury.

He finally realizes why these moves are so familiar. Before, the last time he fought against Lin
Xiao, he was defeated by Lin Xiao with these few moves. At that time he felt that it was the most
humiliating time of his entire life. He swore that there will come a day when he would wash off the
humiliation. Never did he expect that Lin Xiao would actually use the very same moves once again to
defeat him!

"The match is over. Lin Xiao wins."


Xiao Shan is worried that Ling Xiao would harm Lei Ju so he hastily announces the winner.

Ling Xiao puts back his long sword. He raises the corners of his mouth at Lei Ju, revealing a
delighted smile. He then cups his hands towards the enraged Lei Ju and says elegantly, "Junior
brother Lei, I am now well acquainted with your strength!"

Lei Ju's rough and brutish face immediately turns a purplish green.

In the Elder seats, Xiao Shan's face is also very unsightly. This Lin Xiao is too vicious. The match
is already over and he still says those words. He clearly wants to drive them mad!

With those words, Ling Xiao beams as he gets off the stage, walking back to You XiaoMo.

Seeing the situation, You XiaoMo immediately goes up to him saying cautiously, "Elder brother
Ling, you defeated him so quickly. Wouldn't it be suspicious?"

In his eyes, the two of them only exchanged a few blows.

Ling Xiao lowers his head and looks at You XiaoMo's cautious actions. His lips curve up into a
slight smile, "No need to worry, when Lei Ju sparred with Lin Xiao the last time, Lin Xiao used
these same moves to defeat Lei Ju."

You XiaoMo's mouth falls open, this move is really too vicious!

For one, this would make people not suspect that he is not the real Lin Xiao. Second, he can make
use of this opportunity to deal a huge blow to Lei Ju. Losing to the same moves, even if Lei Ju is
psychologically strong, he would still be driven half mad with anger. On top of that, he said those
boastful opening remarks and was defeated not long after making it all the more humiliating.

Pitiful Lei Ju. This incident would probably haunt him for a long time.

But who would have thought that Ling Xiao would actually use the very same moves that Lin Xiao
used to defeat Lei Ju? It didn't even cross Lei Ju's mind. If not, he would not have only realized it
after being defeated. Vicious. Especially that last sentence. Vicious upon vicious!

When Lei Ju gets off the stage, his injured waist is treated by the one rooming with him, Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu asks him to take of his top in order to determine the extent of his injury. Lei Ju didn't want to
do it in front of so many people but that place is really too painful. After hesitating, he takes of his
top.

With one look, Jiang Liu immediately gasps.

Lei Ju hears him gasp and looks down. His face turns even blacker than before.

He didn't expect Lin Xiao to be so ruthless. That one kick, how much spiritual energy was used?
His waist is a big patch of dark blue. Jiang Liu touches it lightly and Lei Ju immediately breathes in
sharply, his face so distorted that he no longer appears human. In the end, he forces down that rage of
his. He restrains his voice and says softly and hatefully, "Lin Xiao, you're really something. There
will be a day when I will get my revenge!"

Jiang Liu who was close to him hears this uncontrollable hateful words clearly, causing him to
lower his eyes.

After Lei Ju's loss, the competition starts up again.

The other disciples are also quite strong. The last person receives the bye, and that is Tantai
MiaoYin, the only woman among the thirteen.

Martial artists have always been mostly male. Although women can train, their progress is
generally much slower than men. This may be because women have too much to consider so their
training progress also slows down. It may also have to do with talent.

And so seven competitors are promoted to the fourth round.

Tang Fan and the other elders talk it over and finally decide unanimously that the one who receives
the bye this time would be Ling Xiao. The gap between him and the other disciples is rather big so he
would definitely get through this stage. So, in order to give others a chance, they just give the slot to
him. Tantai MiaoYin and the others also have no objection. For them, giving the slot to Ling Xiao
means they won't have to go up against Elder brother.

In order to avoid a long night fraught with dreams, and with the incident of Elder Jiang coming to
harm, Tang Fan decides to determine the final winner today. Although with the current situation, it is
iron-clad that the ultimate winner will be Ling Xiao.

In order to win the top three prizes, the six disciples go all out. Among them, the most prominent
one is again Tantai MiaoYin. Although Tantai MiaoYin received the bye the last round, this doesn't
mean that she is weak. Instead, she is the dark horse of this grand competition, charging into the semi-
finals. Although she finally loses to her opponent and can't advance to the final match, top four is
already a great honor. Furthermore, if she can defeat the other loser in the next match, she would be in
third place.

The prizes TianXin sect gives the top three winners are very generous. The third place winner will
get a level four magic pill and two level five magic pills. The second place winner will get two level
five magic pills and a level six magic pill. The first place winner will get three level six magic pills.
On top of that, the first place winner will get three stalks of level six and below magic herbs. As for
why would one give a martial artists three stalks of magic herbs, there is quite a lot to be learned.

Chapter 80

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Something substantive.As expected, Ling Xiao wins the first place, just like Lin Xiao last year.
This year, the prizes for the top three places is again given out personally by Tang Fan.

In third place is Tantai Miao Yin. This young woman lived up to expectations. During the match for
the third place, she risked all in one final move to clench the victory, finally standing together with
Ling Xiao in front of the Elders.

The other person is Du YunCai's disciple. From the start to the end of the competition, his
performance was very steady, very commendable. This person's name is Huang Jie. Last year he was
hovering around the number ten rank. This year, achieving such outstanding success, it's obvious that
he tried very hard the whole year. As his master, Du YunCai is smiling so much that his eyes almost
disappears.

Tang Fan first gives three magic pills to Tantai MiaoYin and then urges her to continue working
hard. Next is Huang Jie, also receiving some encouraging words. Finally, it's Ling Xiao's turn.

"This year, letting you compete together with the other disciples is really making light of your
abilities. Seeing your abilities, Master thinks you are really worthy of your rank as number one
of the warrior division. It looks like the other disciples are no match for you. How about this ba.
From now on, you don't have to participate in the grand friendly competitions. Give the other
disciples a chance, how about it?"

Tang Fan is gratified as he pats Ling Xiao's shoulder. This disciple has never let him down before.

Ling Xiao cups his hands and smiles, "Master orders, how can your disciple not follow? It will
be as Master says."

"Your words seem to indicate that Master is using his influence to pressure you?"

Tang Fan suddenly looks displeased but his tone is clearly not one of anger.

"Master, you have taught me before. One must be modest and guard against arrogance and
rashness."

Ling Xiao says measuredly. The meaning is that if he simply accepts Tang Fan's words, that would
mean he is just as cocky and self-important as Lei Ju.

Hearing these words, Tang Fan's rather serious expression suddenly disappears as he laughs out
loud, "That's a good saying, one must be modest. You still remember Master's words. Looks like
I have not taught you in vain. Alright, chitchat will have to wait for when we have free time ba.
These are the three level six magic pills for you. Be sure to keep them well."
Ling Xiao takes the bottle and opens it. Three magic pills are lying inside, the medicinal fragrance
overflowing to all sides. He then puts on a fake happy face.

Tang Fan restrains the smile on his face and says in a deep voice, "Because you are number one,
so you can go over to your Uncle Ye and pick out three stalks of level six and below magic herbs.
These three stalks of magic herbs, you can either keep for yourself or give to others."

"Thank you Master!"

Ling Xiao beams as he speaks.

As of now, the competition that lasted three days officially ends.

Because Ling Xiao receives an additional three stalks of level six magic herbs, while he received
three stalks of level five magic herbs last year, so he immediately gets chased after by the other
disciples. Even Tang YunQi on the opposite side cranes her neck and looks over here. Because when
Lin Xiao won the first place last year, the reward was almost the same. When he got the three stalks
of magic herbs, he gave two to Tang YunQi and the other one to another Heaven peak disciple with
high potential.

Although Tang YunQi was not satisfied because Lin Xiao didn't give them all to her at that time, she
was still extremely happy.

At that time she felt that Brother Xiao really does have her in his heart. Otherwise, he would not
have given her two level five magic herbs.

This year she also believes that Brother Xiao will give her the magic herbs. But that was before the
appearance of You XiaoMo. After the appearance of You XiaoMo, she feels more and more
uncertain. She feels that Brother Xiao is treating You XiaoMo unusually well, making her have a
sense of deep crisis. So her heart is very uncertain, not knowing if Brother Xiao will give a her a few
stalks of magic herbs.

Although her father is the Grand Master of TianXin sect, and she is the Grand Master's daughter,
this doesn't mean she can simply take TianXin sect's magic herbs. So the magic herbs that Lin Xiao
gives her are very valuable.

"Brother Xiao."

Tang YunQi eventually can't take it anymore so she walks over.

Seeing her come over, the other people give way to her one after another. It's not because they are
afraid of her, but everyone knows that Junior sister Tang has a very bad temper. This time, can't
restrain herself from coming over, it must be to ask who the magic herbs will go to.

Ling Xiao smiles lightly, "What is it Junior sister Tang?"


Tang YunQi immediately chokes up almost unable to say anything. The rim of her eyes redden with
pain. Before, Brother Xiao has always called her Little sister but now he actually calls her Junior
sister Tang. All at once, it feels as if they are not as close as before. But in order to save face, and for
the sake of the three stalks of level six magic herbs, she must say it out.

"Brother Xiao, you gave me two stalks of magic herbs last year. Will you also give me two
stalks of magic herbs this year?"

Now, she no longer demands that Brother Xiao will give her three stalks of magic herbs, but she
must at least get two. Otherwise she will no longer be able to raise her head among the other
disciples.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Ling Xiao gives her a profound look and grins, raising the corners of his lips to a light smile. Not
giving a clear answer, he instead gives Tang YunQi a glimmer of hope.

Tang YunQi sees the slight smile on Ling Xiao's face and suddenly feels that she still has some
hope. At least Brother Xiao didn't say that he would give them to You XiaoMo. Happiness flashes
across her eyes but just as she was about to continue saying a few more words, Ling Xiao abruptly
turns away.

"Little brother, we should be heading back."

Ling Xiao's face is overflowing with gentle smiles as he stretches his hands towards You XiaoMo
who is at periphery of the crowd of people.

Seeing everyone turn around to look at him, You XiaoMo feels a little uncomfortable. Actually he
really wanted to be the first person to congratulate Ling Xiao just now. Congratulate him for winning
first place. Although he already knew much earlier that this would be the result, he still wants to
congratulate him.

But before he could head over there, he was pushed to the outside by others. Seeing Ling Xiao
surrounded by layers and layers or people and him pacing back and forth on the outside wondering
how to squeeze in, this disparity, You XiaoMo for the first time feels absolutely helpless with regards
to his thin body.

Just when he was about to go ahead and just shout it out and be done with it, the people in front of
him suddenly give way.

Raising his head, he sees Ling Xiao stretching out his arm towards him, leaving him stunned. He
feels that this scene is like those ....... those TV drama where the noble prince stretches out his hand
towards to princess. What a scene ....... ah pei, he is not a woman! You XiaoMo is as if struck with
thunder from his own thoughts. He must have fallen under a spell!

In the end, the two of them leave together in front of everyone. Ling Xiao wants to lead You
XiaoMo by the hand but is properly refused by the latter. The reason he gives is that he is not a three
year old child unable to walk without falling.

Ling Xiao knows that even though he is a weakling, he is still very stubborn when it comes to
certain things, so he lets him have his way.

As for Fu ZiLin, although his aura seems very strong, but his appearance and disappearance is
always very mysterious. When everyone was crowding around Ling Xiao, he already left on his own.

Behind them, all the disciples watch as Ling Xiao leaves with his Little brother. Losing interest,
they start to disperse and leave Tang YunQi behind. Her expression is so distorted as she feels like
dismembering someone by tying them to five horses. She looks hatefully at You XiaoMo's
disappearing back.

By her side, other than the Big brother and Big sister from yesterday, not knowing how to appease
her, is Jiang Liu, with an calm expression on his face.

When Ling Xiao walks into the room, You XiaoMo suddenly turns around and lowers his head
saying somewhat awkwardly in a soft voice, "Elder brother Ling, congratulations on getting first
place."

Although his head is lowered, Ling Xiao can still see the light pink on his cheeks. He can't help but
raise the corners of his lips forming an ambiguous smile, "Little brother's intention, I have
received. But this type of intention, I just received too much of it outside. Does Little brother
have something more substantive to give? If yes, I will be even happier."

You XiaoMo immediately -_-||. More substantive? He was already rewarded with magic pills and
magic herbs and he actually still wants something substantive from him? What thick skin!

But since he already put it like that, it's not good for him to refuse outright.

"Then, then what does Elder brother Ling want as something substantive?"

Ling Xiao looks him up and down, making him feel so uncomfortable, not knowing where to put his
hands and feet. Suddenly a sinister smile appears on his face as he says flatly, "You will know
tonight."

Tonight? You XiaoMo feels somewhat clueless.

But thinking about it, his only ability is refining magic pills. What he has, is also only magic pills.
Normally Ling Xiao also loves to eat his magic pills. It must be that the something substantive is
referring to magic pills. Furthermore, ever since he arrived here, he usually only refines magic pills
at night. That must be why Ling Xiao said it like that.

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo feels it's no big deal. At worst, he just has to give him an
additional ten or so magic pills. After all, he usually also has to refine some magic pills for him.
But when night falls, when Ling Xiao tells him to get on the bed, only then does You XiaoMo find
out what something substantive means.

"Why?"

You XiaoMo yells at Ling Xiao feeling ashamed and resentful. If he had known that this is what he
meant, even if he were to get beaten to death, he still wouldn't have agreed to what dog shit something
substantive. Looks like he was planning this all along.

"Because you promised me. Don't tell me you want to go back on your word?"

Ling Xiao leans lazily on the bed, his body propped up halfway. His jet black hair flows down in
torrents over his shoulders, instantly adding to his inherent depraved aura.

Normal people when faced with this sight would have turned all starry-eyed with infatuation long
ago. It's too bad that the one in front of him is You XiaoMo, at the moment fuming at his words, not
giving any thought to how good he looks.

Hearing these words, You XiaoMo turns bright red, "That's because you didn't tell me it would
be this. If I had known earlier, I would not have agreed ne!"

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes as he looks at him, spitting out, "Little brother, one must stay true to
one's words!"

You XiaoMo vomits blood. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have helped him yesterday
morning.

Notes:four even, eight steady - very steady

God doesn't know, ghost doesn't feel - very mysterious

Chapter 81

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Man and man."Oh ....... use a little more force there, a little harder, oh ....... too awesome, just
like that!"

"Not down there, a little to the top, a little more to the top ....... oh, right there ....... just that
pressure, feels very good, you're doing well!"

You XiaoMo can't take it any longer. He stamps his foot on his chest and jumps off the bed, his
whole face completely furious, "Why do have so many requests? I don't want to do it any more!"

Saying that, he tries to put on the boots he took off not too long ago.

Ling Xiao grasps his hand and pulls him onto his body with one tug. He says indifferently, "Little
brother. You can choose not to do it, but then, we'll have to go back to the original agreement."

You XiaoMo is pulled and tugged by him, causing him to sprawl on top of his body, his face
directly facing the rather noticeable gigantic thing bulging under his hip. If it wasn't because Ling
Xiao was holding down his back, he would have jumped up a long time ago. Hearing those words
from him, his bright red face immediately turns black.

How did it come to this? Actually it's very simple.

Ling Xiao had originally wanted him to use both his hands to help him release the swelling under
his hip but You XiaoMo firmly refused. That's because the last time he helped him, his endurance was
too outrageous almost causing both his hands to be disabled. The other reason is because at that time,
he spurted thick white liquid all over his body. That type of feeling is something he just can't forget
even now.

With You XiaoMo refusing to do it to the point of death, Ling Xiao changed the conditions to a
whole body massage.

You XiaoMo had given his parents massages before so he agrees thinking that this is more
acceptable. At first, he used his two hands but Ling Xiao complained that he is too weak so he asked
him to use his feet to step on his body to massage him. You XiaoMo agreed.

As a result, from the start until now, it has not even been fifteen minutes and he had already heard
non-stop complaints. A little harder, then a little lower, then a little higher. He has never met someone
with so many requests. After 15 minutes, You XiaoMo refuses to continue.

Ling Xiao doesn't get angry. If that's what you want, then we'll go back to the original agreement.

Although this kind of massage is very comfortable, especially when You XiaoMo uses both his feet
to step here and there, it's really very nice. But he still prefers the feeling when You XiaoMo uses
both his hands to hold his stick. That feeling is much better than a massage!

He's the type of person that does it as soon as he thinks it. So not waiting for You XiaoMo to
answer, he takes advantage of his unpreparedness to grab a hold of his little brother.

You XiaoMo was just about to stand up when his body collapses again. Red-faced, he glares at
Ling Xiao and stammers, "You, you are so depraved and shameless, again with this move."

"How can you call this depraved and shameless ne!"

Ling Xiao laughs out loud *ha ha*. His big hand scoops him up in one swoop while the other hand
completely has no intention of relaxing its grip. The hot breath sprays on the his nape making the
person in his arms tremble endlessly, his neck to his ears turning completely red.

You XiaoMo doesn't dare to struggle because his manhood is still in the hand of the other ne. But
hearing these words, his heart becomes even more displeased, "You're forcing me and yet you don't
think it's depraved and shameless?"

"Of course not, I'm just helping you to indulge in pleasure in a timely manner."

Ling Xiao says mischievously while putting one of his hands inside his clothes. He had wanted to
do this for a long time, ever since yesterday. You XiaoMo's face is so soft so he was wondering how
his body would feel like.

Ling Xiao's eyes seem to light up.

From the outside, You XiaoMo doesn't seem as tangible as he is under his clothes. The flesh his
hand comes in contact with is so unimaginably soft. The soft and smooth body is even softer than the
best silk he has ever worn. Even more tender and lovely than the petals of the most exquisite rose he
has ever seen. He hears a moan escape from the person in his arms next to his hear, making his heart
start to tremble uncontrollably.

This person seems to have been created just for him. Just one patch of skin, one moan, and it
arouses the lust deeply buried inside his heart.

You XiaoMo is not any better, he feels as if his body is no longer his own.

He never knew that his whole body would melt just from being touched by Ling Xiao. The friction
between his hand and his skin actually gives rise to an uncontrollable pleasurable sensation. Such a
sensitive reaction is really too unscientific!

But in a daze, You XiaoMo thinks that this feeling is a little irrational. Since when did his body get
so sensitive that such a familiar and yet unfamiliar pleasure would arise from just one touch? This is
so unscientific ba, because before when he was bumped and jostled by others, he never felt this way.

Thinking that his body could have become abnormal, You XiaoMo can't stop his eyes from getting
red. He doesn't want to turn into such a strange person!

In the midst of drunkenness, Ling Xiao suddenly hears a muffled sob. Weak and faltering. Looking
down, he sees that the person in his arms is actually crying, making him jump in shock. Before, he
never cried when bullied so why is he crying now?

Ling Xiao hastily turns his body around to face him. He holds up his face with both of his hands
and unconsciously softens his voice, "Little brother, don't cry. It's ok, it's ok. If necessary elder
brother won't bully you anymore. Don't cry."

Hearing this words, You XiaoMo lifts up his small fist and not knowing whether to laugh or cry,
starts to pound on his chest, "So you know you are bullying me!"

Ling Xiao lets him continue pounding. After all, that amount of strength doesn't hurt nor tickle.
Later, when his tears start to give way to smiles, he asks, "Alright, can you tell me now why you
were crying? Do you really not like that kind of feeling?"

Saying that, he raises his brows. For ....... let's just say people for now, from that time are all
faithful to their desires. They do what they want, and do what comes to mind. Why would they think
so much? So he doesn't quite understand You XiaoMo's reactions. It's obviously something that feels
good so why did he cry?

Hearing his frank and bold question, You XiaoMo blushes almost turning into the glow of sunset.

How is he going to answer this question? Actually, speaking honestly, oh, it really felt good. He has
never experienced such a strong feeling so because it is so unfamiliar, he became very confused. He
always felt that quivering just from the touch of another man is something not quite right. So for You
XiaoMo who never considered that this kind of thing can be normal, he feels that there is a possibility
that he has become abnormal.

But for him to say this frankly to Ling Xiao, it's difficult for him to open his mouth.

"Say ah!"

Ling Xiao doesn't have the patience to wait one of two hours. Seeing that he doesn't answer, he
simply urges him.

You XiaoMo squirms for a bit but thinking of how much Ling Xiao likes to touch him all over, he
feels that he has to say it sooner or later. So he simply drums up his courage and says jerkily, "I I I I
think I'm a little abnormal ....... "

Although the last part is said as softly as a mosquito, Ling Xiao still manages to hear the word
'abnormal'. Surprised, he looks him up and down saying, "Where do you think you're abnormal?"

"It's just, just that ....... you just now ....... just touched me a little and I felt strange."
You XiaoMo buries his head into his chest. This type of thing should be a very intimate matter ba?

Hearing these words, Ling Xiao can't help but burst out laughing. He had thought it was a serious
matter and it turns out that it is this little thing. This is really something very normal. If he didn't feel
anything wouldn't that mean his technique is too bad? Ling Xiao feels that he is making a big deal
over a small matter. He simply lifts him out from his arms and says while looking into his bright red
face, "Little brother, love between men is in line with the principles of heaven and earth. You
don't have to feel that you are abnormal."

You XiaoMo pouts, "Shouldn't it be man and woman?"

Ling Xiao rubs his head gently, smiling lightly, "It's all the same."

You XiaoMo looks at him doubtfully, "Really?"

He still feels that it's not quite right.

"Of course. This type of thing, it's only important that the feeling is there. No one will care if
it is between a man and a woman or a man and a man. Just like you have feelings for me and I
have feelings for you. Doesn't this prove that we are right for each other?"

Ling Xiao caresses his cheeks.

You XiaoMo looks at him while saying, "I still feel that your smile is somewhat evil."

Ling Xiao smiles as he says, "Be good. This is my very honest smile."

You XiaoMo thinks it over and says, "But I still think that I'm a little abnormal. The last time
you touched me, I didn't feel such a strong reaction."

Hearing him speak this way, Ling Xiao finally thinks that his sensitivity is actually a little
abnormal. Normal people will have their sensitive spots but they wouldn't get so sensitive from just
one touch. He still remembers clearly, You XiaoMo lying in his arms with a bright red face while his
whole body seemed to have lost all its strength.

"Take off your clothes."

Ling Xiao says suddenly.

"What?"

You XiaoMo quickly grips his clothes tightly. This person, weren't they just talking nicely? The
next second he is asking him to take off his clothes? Such an animal.

Ling Xiao raises the corners of his lips revealing an evil smile, mocking lightly, "Didn't you say
that your body is abnormal? I'll help you look at it now. See if there's something wrong ah!"
You XiaoMo hesitates .......

Why does he feel that Elder brother Ling's smile is a little strange? Just like the children's tale
between the big bad wolf and little red riding hood?

Chapter 82

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

囧Fair white skin tinged with rosy red. Like a piece of highest grade fine jade, sparkling and
translucent. White and flawless, even more so than the most beautiful suet white jade. Although the
body is very thin, not appearing to have more than one ounce of flesh, but when the clothes are taken
off, those pieces of flesh are evenly distributed all over as if according to an exquisite master plan.
Not an ounce in excess, not lacking an ounce.

Such a beautiful body, Ling Xiao doesn't seem to be able to tear his eyes away.

He had known long ago when he touched his body that You XiaoMo's body can't be too shabby, but
looking at it with his own eyes still leaves him speechless.

Although the four limbs are slender like a woman's, it is actually much better. Soft, yielding and
supple. No wonder he was so reluctant to let go.

Ling Xiao has always disliked the weak and slender appearance of women. He would get annoyed
each time he sees it. But You XiaoMo's softness comes with a hint of manliness. Especially his
temperament. When he gets stubborn, even ten oxen won't be able to turn him around. This point is
what separates him from the hesitant and indecisive women.

Seeing the barefaced look of Ling Xiao, tinged with vaguely apparent desire, You XiaoMo shrinks
into himself.

Ling Xiao's words are a little too convincing. Before, he was really worried that he had contracted
some illness. In the end he comes to terms with it. Actually in his heart, two men facing each other
openly is nothing to be ashamed of. Like when he was younger, he bathed and slept with his elder and
younger brothers. There were even times when he changed clothes in front of them.

These things are really nothing but ever since Ling Xiao started to make his moves on him, he feels
that his view of the world has been turned upside down.

So this time, facing each other openly, he has no way of staying composed as he was with his elder
and younger brothers.

"Have you seen enough already?"

You XiaoMo yells in embarrassment. He has already stared for half a day.

Ling Xiao returns to his senses. His gaze shifts reluctantly from his body to his face. Soft and
white, making him wish even more to pounce on him and take a bite. But he is afraid that it would
scare him away so he can only restrain himself, "There is really no major problems with your body,
but ....... "
"But what?"

You XiaoMo asks nervously. He is delighted when he hears the first part. But the twist in the last
part scares him.

Ling Xiao sighs. He pinches his cheeks over and over only letting go just before he gets mad. He
picks up his hand saying, "Little brother, don't tell me you don't think your skin is even more
delicate than a woman's?"

You XiaoMo looks dumbly at his own arm. He suddenly remembers that his skin seems to be much
better now than how it was two months ago.

Two months ago, the skin of his arms was only a little white. A far way from the fairness of
congealed fat. At most, it was a little better than others of the same age. No way was it like it is now.
His whole arm is sparkling, translucent and lustrous. It seems as if with just one puff or tap, it would
shatter like the most delicate porcelain. Because he sees it everyday, he doesn't realize that his skin
has been changing little by little. Changing so much that it is now on a completely different level than
what is was two months ago.

Looking at the rest of his body, it is all soft and white, sparkling and translucent with a touch of
pink. Even newborn babies wouldn't have skin like this ba.

You XiaoMo's eyes fall to the ground. With a body like his, still wanting to be a big strong man? In
his wildest dreams ba!

Ling Xiao grins as he catches his drooping body. Just the time for him to take advantage. He knows
that You XiaoMo's biggest dream is to be an awe-inspiring man. But this weak body is clearly too
different from the big and tall, brave and fierce man in his imagination. As different as the sky and the
ground. It would be strange if it isn't a huge blow to him!

"Why is it like that? wuwu ....... "

You XiaoMo sobs in Ling Xiao's arms.

Ling Xiao quickly pats him lightly on the back, helping to alleviate his frustration, afraid that he
would choke if he cries too forcefully. His movements are careful so as to not leave any trace on his
body, "Be good. Don't cry. Actually, this is really not something bad ....... "

Before he could finish his words, You XiaoMo suddenly sits up, both his eyes big wide orbs,
glaring at Ling Xiao, "What do you mean by that?"

"No, don't misunderstand. That's not what I mean. Listen to me explain bit by bit."

Ling Xiao feels that the You XiaoMo now is especially cute. Looking at that face fuming with
anger, along with that pout. One could possibly hang two catties of pork on that little mouth. He really
wants to plant his lips on him but he is now still angry so he can only restrain himself for the sake of
his future happiness.

You XiaoMo huffs, a complete reversal of roles.

Usually he would be secretly extremely delighted at this but now he doesn't even have the
opportunity to grieve, so where would he find time to notice these things.

Ling Xiao is perfectly satisfied as he hugs him, both hands wreaking havoc all over his body while
he uses his words to distract him, "Little brother, let me first ask you this. When did you start
bathing in the magic water in the dimension?"

You XiaoMo grimaces as he counts, "About two months ago. Because Earth peak rules dictate
that we can only take water once every three days so I decided to bathe in the dimension."

"I think I've found the answer."

Ling Xiao sighs on the surface but is secretly extremely delighted.

"You can't be saying that this has something to do with the magic water in the dimension
ba?"

He hopes that he would hear words of denial from his mouth.

"This, really has to do with the magic water. The magic water in the dimension is the most
pure water on heaven and earth. It was formed bit by bit from accumulated spiritual energy.
Furthermore, magic water, from time immemorial, has always had the ability to transform.
You're bathing in magic water everyday and drinking quite a bit of it when you're refining
magic pills. After two months, it would be strange if there is no change in your body."

Ling Xiao taps his nose. His eyes gleams as he thinks that it must be fate for this person to belong
to him since he was the one that found him.

You XiaoMo wants to throw up blood. After all this time, it was all caused by his own cleverness.
Now he deeply understands that there is no free lunch in this world. God gave him a gold finger but
forcibly stripped him of his dreams. Within this misery, he can only swallow it down and slowly mull
over it.

"I will no longer use the magic water to bathe, nor drink anymore magic water."

You XiaoMo hammers his chest fiercely, gritting his teeth as he swears.

Ling Xiao hastily catches his hand and consoles him saying, "Little brother, it doesn't have to be
like that. Even if you continue to use magic water, there won't be any change. Two months is
enough to cleanse your body of all impurities. Furthermore, a body like this is not without
advantages."
"What advantages?"

You XiaoMo glares at him. He doesn't believe that he can come up with any advantages. He has
now changed to such an extent. The happiest one most likely is also him and that is the truth!

Ling Xiao leans back on the bed post, his hair scattered over his chest. Looking at him, he slowly
raises the corner of his mouth saying, "Don't tell me you don't feel that you are now more efficient
when refining magic pills? And when you practice that Heavenly Soul Scroll, it goes more
smoothly each time?"

You XiaoMo blinks. He really did feel it. Actually, he felt it over a month ago.

His current soul force, when compared to how it was before, is more than twice as strong.
Furthermore, he feels that he will soon breakthrough the first level of the Heavenly Soul Scroll. As
for refining magic pills, he feels that he is getting more and more proficient. Especially when it comes
to forming the magic pill. It's getting easier and easier. But ....... he always thought that it is because of
his ability .......

But now Ling Xiao is telling him that it is all due to the magic water.

"That, it seems it really is so ....... "

You XiaoMo stammers, his eyes rolling here and there, anywhere except at Ling Xiao.

Seeing him suddenly retract his claws, and instead looking left and right, Ling Xiao reveals a crafty
smile when he isn't looking. How could he not know what he is thinking? But this is better than that
sobbing and depressed manner from a little while ago.

Thinking like this, Ling Xiao moves in next to his ear, saying, "Little brother. If you think about
it carefully, regarding this matter, the good you got out of this is much more than the bad.
Although your body is much more sensitive than before, but at the same time, your refining
magic pills capability also increased. I remember what you said before. In a few more months
you will have to undergo the assessment. If you are unable to refine a level two magic pill, not
only will you lose face, your Master and brothers will also be made fun of by others. Do you
wish to let Heaven peak and Flying peak make fun of you all?"

"Of course not."

You XiaoMo grips his fists tightly, saying indignantly. This matter is buried deep inside his heart.
Although he has the Heavenly Soul Scroll, he still lacks confidence in his heart. So he has always
been very uncertain.

"That's good. Even though the you now can't refine a level two magic pill, I think that day
should not be too far away."

Ling Xiao nods as he says with a smile.


You XiaoMo's eyes sparkle as his heart starts to surge from his words. He feels even more eager
for that day to come.

Ling Xiao lifts the hair that is draped naturally over his shoulder. Soft and supple, shiny like
lustrous silk. Setting of his fair like jade skin. The corners of his mouth suddenly lift up to reveal a
devilish smile, "Little brother. You're no longer heartbroken ba?"

You XiaoMo turns around to see Ling Xiao inches from him. His expression is a little uneasy as he
clears his throat saying, "Barely ....... but I can manage ba."

"Then we can now continue with what we were doing earlier ba?"

Ling Xiao grips his arm, pulling the two of them extremely close together.

The fine hairs on You XiaoMo's body suddenly stand on end. He had completely forgotten about
this matter.

Ling Xiao beams. It's finally time to get down to it.

Chapter 83

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Kong Wen's questions.The next day, Fu ZiLin comes to knock on Ling Xiao's door early in the
morning.

Because the Central lineage competition ended ahead of time, they can also leave ahead of time.

The reason Fu ZiLin is here is precisely regarding the matter of leaving. Because he is You
XiaoMo's Second brother, and the both of them came over together, so he must ensure that the both of
them also leave together. Otherwise Master and Elder brother would question him.

Last night, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao went at it for who knows how long. When Fu ZiLin knocks
at the door, he is still inside the quilt dead asleep. How could he possibly hear the sound of knocking?
The one who goes out to open the door is Ling Xiao. It's also not clear what he says to Fu ZiLin but in
the end, Fu ZiLin leaves by himself. You XiaoMo has no knowledge of this matter.

When he wakes up, the sun is already three poles high. You XiaoMo tunnels out of the quilt,
rubbing his still asleep eyes. He cranes his neck looking outside but doesn't see any sign of Ling Xiao.
It's relatively quiet today. The past two days, at this time, it was already as noisy as a boiling
cauldron outside.

Remembering that the competition is over, You XiaoMo feels relieved. He gets up and washes up.
Seeing that Ling Xiao has not returned, You XiaoMo opens the door and walks next door. He knocks
on Zhou Peng's door, "Second brother, Second brother, are you in there?"

After calling repeatedly a few times without getting any answer, You XiaoMo thinks that Fu ZiLin
must have gone out because he had something to do. He was just about to return to the room when he
hears the door opening from the room next to Zhou Peng's. A normal looking yet amiable guy walks
out. Seeing him, he says, "You are Junior brother You ba. You're looking for your Big brother?
He already left."

You XiaoMo had just turned away. When he hears these words he immediately turns back around
and throws out a string of questions *pi li pa la*, "What did you say? Big brother Fu already left?
When?"

"Yes ah. I remember it was the Chen period. When I left my room I saw your big brother
knocking on Elder brother's door."

Seeing the look of astonishment on his face, the man doesn't understand why.

You XiaoMo remembers tragically that at that time he seemed to have been sleeping like a dead
pig.
The man sees that his face is so twisted, almost forming a ball, probably worried because he is left
here by himself, so he consoles him, "You don't have to worry. Elder brother will send you back."

It's because of him that I'm worried OK! You XiaoMo grumbles inwardly. That person must have
not woken him up on purpose. For sure he has some evil intentions. Before returning to the room, he
thanks the man. If he didn't tell him, he would still be thinking that Second brother is still here.

Returning to the room, he starts to pack his things. No matter when Ling Xiao takes him back, he is
determined to leave today before the sun goes down. If not, there would definitely be talk confirming
that he and Ling Xiao have some secret relationship, some scarlet news.

Ling Xiao did not let him wait long. He comes back just when he finishes packing his things. He's
not surprised when he sees that the room no longer has anything belonging to him.

You XiaoMo is worried that he isn't willing to bring him back today so he quickly blurts out, "The
competition has ended. I want to leave today. When are you planning to bring me back? Or am I
going back by myself?"

"You can leave whenever you want."

Ling Xiao is somewhat amused looking at his nervous expression. Can it be, he thinks that I will
keep detaining him here? Even if he wanted to, it would still require the approval of Tang Fan but he
doesn't think that wily old fox would approve. After all, Central lineage is not just any old place, for
anyone to come and go as they please, even though You XiaoMo already swore an oath. Also there's
the matter of Elder Jiang coming to harm that is not yet resolved so he doesn't want You XiaoMo to
stay on here.

You XiaoMo obviously didn't expect him to answer so frankly. After being stunned for a moment,
he can't help but feel a little ashamed of his pettiness. Seems like he has misjudged Ling Xiao. He
simply didn't have those intentions he imagined.

That afternoon, Ling Xiao brings him back just as he said he would.

Because the competition of the other four lineages have not concluded, he simply brings him back
to Fang ChenLe.

Fang ChenLe learned earlier from Fu ZiLin that Ling Xiao was the one taking care of You XiaoMo
these few days. So he isn't surprised to see them appear together, only thanking him politely for taking
care of You XiaoMo.

Although Ling Xiao is not happy that You XiaoMo is too close to Fang ChenLe, he still wouldn't
express it in front of everyone, so he leaves after exchanging a few words.

"Little brother, seeing your energy, you must have had it easy these few days. But we will soon
be busy. The competition of the four lineages is not like Central lineage because injuries are
very common, so we may soon get very busy."
After sending off Ling Xiao with his eyes, Fang ChenLe speaks warmly to You XiaoMo by his side.

You XiaoMo resists the look of envy from others and says awkwardly, "I understand, Elder
brother."

That afternoon, You XiaoMo finally finds out to what extent Elder brother's 'very busy' actually
means.

The twenty over people from Earth peak are so busy that their feet don't even touch the ground.
First, someone gets hurt in ring number one. Then someone gets hurt in ring number two and number
three, making them hurry over. Running back and forth, You XiaoMo feels it's too much to bear for the
whole afternoon.

This situation carried on until the afternoon two days later. That afternoon, Uncle Zhao lets them
pack up their own things and return to Earth peak. Everyone is lifeless not even bothering to eat or
bathe. Other than Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin, the others sleep until the sun is three poles high.

The next day, not long after You XiaoMo wakes up, someone tells him that he is to go over to see
his Master.

You XiaoMo thinks that Master must want to talk about matters regarding the Central lineage so he
doesn't dare to dawdle. Fifteen minutes later, he sets out for Kong Wen's compound. On the way, he
repeatedly looks at the magic herb garden. Sure enough, he catches sight of several familiar looking
magic herbs, roughly the same as those he dug out from the ice cave.

Thinking of that he feels even more impatient towards going to the second level of the library.

"Come in ba."

Just as he is thinking that, Kong Wen's voice calls out from inside.

You XiaoMo puts away his unnecessary thoughts, pushes the door and steps in. This is his first time
in Kong Wen's study. The last time, it was the backyard. Studies usually have lots of books. Kong
Wen's study is no exception but You XiaoMo smells a faint delicate fragrance. Subconsciously he
looks around the inside of the study and sure enough, on the window sill, there are a few pots of
blooming magic herbs, red as fire. Under the illumination of sunlight, the magnificent blooms are
bursting with colorful rays of light.

This is again a magic herb that he doesn't recognize!

But You XiaoMo can still tell that this magic herb is better than any of the magic herbs outside. The
concentration of the spiritual energy and the way it is growing is all top grade. It shouldn't be an
ordinary high level magic herb. Otherwise, Kong Wen would not have purposely put them in the study
to take care of them. He also notices that the earth in the pots are red in color, not black like the soil
in his dimension.
Kong Wen turns around and catches sight of him unable to stop looking in time. A faint look of
amusement appears on his face as he says, "Do you know what magic herb this is?"

You XiaoMo is a little surprised, hastily shaking his head, cupping his hands saying, "Disciple
doesn't know."

Kong Wen stretches out his slender fingers and lightly strokes the petals of the magic herb, saying
softly, "This is the level eight magic herb Flame flower. It is not the same as low level magic
herbs. It's real essence is contained in the eight flower petals. Extremely precious. You only
need to pluck one of the petals when refining magic pills. But if the Flame flower is low grade,
the four petals are required."

You XiaoMo's eyes open wide. Truly enlightening.

This thing is actually a level eight magic herb. One really can't tell. But the difference between high
grade and low grade is really too great.

Kong Wen sees his face full of curiosity and envy. He can't keep his serious face from turning into a
light smile, "You don't have to be envious. Wait until you're a level four mage. Then you can also
have your own magic herb garden. At that time you can plant whatever you want."

You XiaoMo is a little embarrassed. By the time he becomes a level four mage, who knows what
year what month it will be ne!

"Master heard that ....... when you went to the Central lineage, you stayed together with Lin
Xiao. The relationship between the two of you seems to be very good?"

Kong Wen looks at his face, launching into the topic without any warning.

When You XiaoMo hears the word 'heard' he raises his guard. Sure enough, this is the real reason
why Master called him over. Finally he hears him raise the matter between him and Ling Xiao.
Luckily he prepared himself before coming over so he is rather calm, but he still pretends to be
surprised.

"Elder brother Lin is a good big brother. Knowing that it is my first time going, he let me stay
with him. Our relationship is pretty good ba. But most of the time Elder brother Lin is the one
taking care of me."

Kong Wen taps his fingers lightly on the desk, giving out a *dong dong dong* clear crisp sound.

You XiaoMo cautiously swallows. He feels his heartbeat being pulled along by that sound, scaring
him so that he doesn't dare to take deep breaths.

"Ah, your luck is really much better than other disciples. Lin Xiao is indeed quite a fine
person. Looking at this strength and his ability to rally supporters, it is clear why he is the
number one person in the warrior division. No one can tell what the future holds, you should
seize it properly."

Kong Wen gets up and walks up to him, patting him lightly on his shoulder, advising him in his
capacity as his senior and master. His tone is very warm.

"Disciple will definitely remember Master's words."

You XiaoMo lowers his head as he speaks.

"It's good if you keep it in mind. Oh right, I heard Elder brother say that your cauldron is
broken. Later, go the Hall of Enchanted Herbs and get a good one from your Uncle Zhao.
Alright, you can go ba. Master is tired."

Saying this, Kong Wen rubs his eyes, waving his hands sending him away. Maybe he refined magic
pills the whole night so he feels fatigued in the morning.

"Then disciple will take his leave. Have a good rest, Master."

Hearing these words, You XiaoMo is a little surprised inside. He only brought this up to Elder
brother yesterday. He didn't expect Elder brother to immediately inform Master. Of course Elder
brother is better, unlike a certain someone.

Of course this opinion cannot be let known to Ling Xiao.

That fellow will definitely find some excuse to make him do things he isn't willing to do. No matter
how he forces him to do those type of shameful things, he will no longer give him the opportunity!

Hahahaha. The author skipped over their 'activities'. Sorry!


Chapter 84

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Breakthrough to the second level.On the way back, You XiaoMo stops by at the Hall of Enchanted
Herbs and picks up a new cauldron along with three hundred stalks of magic herbs.

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

The cauldron he buys must definitely not appear in front of other people otherwise everyone would
definitely ask where the money came from. Although he can explain that the money came from him
selling magic pills but everyone knows that low grade level magic pills can't be sold for much money.
He doesn't have to expose his secrets in front of others just for the sake of a cauldron.

Upon returning to Earth peak, time is now all his own.

You XiaoMo locks himself in his room and first uses the magic herbs he picked up to try refining a
magic pill. He discovers that when he introduces his soul force into the cauldron, the feeling is
smoother and easier than it was with the previous cauldron. He no longer has to be like before,
worried that the cauldron won't be able to take too much soul force causing it to explode.

After making this discovery, You XiaoMo refines one hundred magic pills in one go in five hours.
His speed is much faster than before. He actually only bolstered himself once with magic water
during this time. This means that his current soul force is 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 at
one go before. Sometimes, not even twenty. Now it's more than double. He is super excited!

You XiaoMo tries to restrain his heart from jumping for joy endlessly and takes out one hundred
stalks of magic herbs from the dimension.

They are rock jasmine, winter ice herb, and korean mint. These three magic herbs are 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 knows, if a top grade
Accumulate energy magic pill is used to open up the body's meridians, the meridians would expand,
benefiting any subsequent training.

That's why many rich and powerful families would prepare a high grade Accumulate energy magic
pill for their disciples before they start training. Although the market for the Accumulate energy pill is
not as large as that for the Fasting magic pill, it is still in demand. And just like the Fasting magic pill,
a bottle of fifty pills is enough to be sold at auction.
So he decides to refine fifty Accumulate energy magic pills.

Fifty magic pills can't be considered a lot nor can it be considered little. It would take at least
twenty hours.

In order to get ready the things for auction as soon as possible, You XiaoMo decides to stay up the
whole night. Without the presence of the one that loves to harass him, Ling Xiao, he is a hundred
percent confident, inspite of the effect that the magic water would have on him. This shows that You
XiaoMo has now accepted it!

Just like Ling Xiao said, since his body has already changed as much as it can, there probably
won't be any additional side effects if he continued drinking magic water. So it would be a waste not
to continue drinking it bei.

You XiaoMo goes into seclusion once again!

When Fang ChenLe hears about this, he can't help but shake his head. He feels that this Little
brother really likes to go into seclusion. 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's only him that when
nothing is going on, he hides in his room, when something is going on, he also hides in his room.

Although he knows that Little brother would have to undergo the assessment in a few months, he
still doesn't have to go all out like this. Refining magic pills is basically something that should be
done slowly. Step by step with feet on solid ground is the correct way to proceed.

But that is his own decision so it's not good for him to say anything.

This news naturally also spreads to Ling Xiao's ears. But his reaction is not like Fang ChenLe's
since he knows You XiaoMo's secret. With the presence of Fasting magic pills and with magic water
to replenish his soul force and physical strength, he can even go into seclusion for a few months
without any problems. So he just asks people to take notice of when he comes out and notify him.

But unexpectedly, on the second day, something big happens to You XiaoMo's body.

Twenty hours later is already the next morning. Because he drank magic water, You XiaoMo
doesn't feel tired out so he toughs it out and refines forty Fasting magic pills. Including the previous
ten pills, he amassed fifty pills. His soul force is also just depleted. Because he is too tired, You
XiaoMo doesn't manage to drink magic water before passing out on the table .......

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

You XiaoMo is pleasantly surprised to discover that he has broken through the first level of the
Heavenly Soul Scroll.
He wants to pinch his own cheeks to check if he is dreaming but his hands are 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 wants to drink magic water but can't. Luckily his body has already been
transformed by magic water. If not, it could possibly have become disabled. After half an hour, both
his hands slowly regain their feeling. The first thing You XiaoMo does is to drink magic water.

Just when the magic water was about to roll down his throat, he suddenly thinks of something. It
seems he forgot to drink magic water two days ago, that's why he passed out on the table. But when he
wakes up he discovers that he has broken through the Heavenly Soul Scroll.

Does that mean that not drinking magic water has 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
magic 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 crashes.

Looks like he will have to go to the library to check up on this. If there are materials on this aspect
then of course that would be good. But if there isn't, he would just wait until he sees Ling Xiao again.
Since he's so awesome, he must know what this is all about.

At this time, You XiaoMo has no idea that he is slowly moving towards relying on Ling Xiao. By
the time he realizes this, he and Ling Xiao would have already 'joined together'!

In seclusion for three and a half days, actually, after sleeping for two days, You XiaoMo finally
comes out of seclusion.

The first thing he does after coming out of seclusion is to head to the library.

When Fang ChenLe finds out about this, he doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. Unable to take it
any longer, he decides to catch him at the library. If it were to go on like this, he is afraid that Little
brother's body won't be able to take it. But when he catches sight of Little brother's rosy cheeks, he
chokes back all the unsaid words brewing in chest.

You XiaoMo's condition is not the least bit like someone that has just come out from three and a
half days of seclusion. His cheeks are rosy as if he has just received some nourishment. His outward
appearance is not haggard like other disciples when they emerge from seclusion. Instead he looks like
someone that has just come back from a resort area, fresh like the spring breeze.

Fang ChenLe can't help thinking of something. Little brother had gone into seclusion for over one
month before. That time, his condition was also like now. Normal people most probably won't be like
this ba? Thinking like this, Fang ChenLe can't help getting suspicious.

"Little brother, I heard that you went into seclusion. This time for three and a half days. How
is it you ....... "
Before he could finish his questioning words, You XiaoMo hastily cuts him off. Putting both palms
together, with a bashful face, he says, "I'm sorry Elder brother. I didn't mean to do it. It's just that
I accidentally fell asleep for two days, and overslept ....... "

Fang ChenLe " ....... "

So the truth is he overslept?

Seeing that he is not saying a word, You XiaoMo doesn't stop apologizing. In the end, he even
promises to let him know before he goes into seclusion again. Making a fuss until Fang ChenLe
doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Why would he be mad because he didn't tell him? He is mad because he goes into seclusion
without taking care of his body but he can't tell him that. But the most important point is that it is too
deceitful. He never expected that he could have overslept. Looks like the one month of seclusion the
last time must have gone something like this.

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

"Ok, ok, Elder brother also doesn't want to criticize you. Elder brother 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 ChenLe is just like a nanny, once he starts, he can go on for most of the day. But this is also
one of his big part of his character. If not, his popularity wouldn't be as high as it is.

You XiaoMo can't get a word in so he can only nod awkwardly at his side.

After an hour, Fang ChenLe finally lets him go. You XiaoMo runs like fleeing for his life into the
library. He no longer dares to provoke Elder brother. Too formidable. Speaking until he almost
suffered another system crash.

You XiaoMo often goes to the library to borrow books so the old man is very familiar with him.
Not waiting for him to walk up to him, he simply takes the second level tablet and flings it at him.

You XiaoMo hurriedly catches the tablet. Upon seeing that the tablet is not like the ones he got
before, he is surprised making him blurt out, "Uncle Yang, how did you know I wanted to go to the
second level?"

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

You XiaoMo clenches the tablet in his hand tightly. Fine ba. He knows he is being belittled. He
knows that he often comes to borrow books, basically all the books on the first level that is related to
mages have been read by him. So this question is pointless. Even he wants to belittle himself.

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

As for books on the 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 bids farewell to Old man Yang.

As a result, when he happily pushes open the door to his room, and sees the seated figure of a
certain impudent person inside his room, his first response is to shut the door, shutting himself outside
.......

Chapter 85

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Really no improvement.Think you can shut yourself outside the room? Don't even think about it!

Just when he shuts the door, Ling Xiao is one step faster, picking him up and carrying him in. Then
he turns around and kicks the door *peng*, just like the sound of You XiaoMo's heart's sudden jump.

"Run what run ah. Little brother, don't tell you you don't want to see me?"

Ling Xiao smiles as he looks at him. His smiling face is so dazzling like the early morning first
rays of sunlight.

You XiaoMo really feels that the way Ling Xiao treated him three days ago, carefully protecting
him, is all an illusion. Now, this domineering Ling Xiao is the real one. The evil smile is so familiar
ah. Every time he sees it, his heart will shiver, making him worry that he will again come out with
whatever to torment him. But he must absolutely never tell him this.

Hearing his words, You XiaoMo ponders a bit before smiling meekly, "How can that be? It's not
that I don't want to see you. I just suddenly remembered that I forgot a book."

Ling Xiao glares at him up and down for a good while, as if trying to see if he is lying.

You XiaoMo keeps smiling until the corners of his mouth start to stiffen.

"I'll believe you for now."

Ling Xiao raises the corners of his mouth, finally no longer staring at his face.

You XiaoMo immediately heaves a sigh of relief. Being stared at by those eyes of his is really not
just some regular heavy pressure. Luckily he already got his face ready before then, "Elder brother
Ling, is there something you need?"

"Can't I come if there's nothing?"

Ling Xiao casts a sidelong glance at him and sees his expression immediately wither, as if he feels
extremely wronged. Seeing this, a faint gleaming layer appears in his jet-black eyes. He says warmly,
"Ok, I won't tease you anymore. There really is something. In a bit, I will be going over to Yun
Shui peak. Are you interested in going with me?"

"Why are you going to Yun Shui peak?"

You XiaoMo asks in surprise.


"Of course it is to pick up the three stalks of level six magic herbs. You can't have forgotten
about it ba?"

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes slightly, managing to squeeze out a devilish and forbidding aura on his
bright handsome face. One could say it looks out of place yet it is somewhat fitting, as if it is only
natural.

Speaking of Yun Shui peak, although You XiaoMo rarely leaves his room, he has still heard of the
famous Yun Shui peak.

Yun Shui peak is located behind Earth peak, Heaven peak and Flying peak. It is a place that is even
more restricted than the library because it is specially used to cultivate mid and high level magic
herbs for TianXin sect. A formidable protective barrier encloses the place and it is guarded by ten
powerful Elders. One can call it an impregnable fortress!

The Uncle Ye that Tang Fan mentioned before is one of the Elders taking care of the magic herbs in
Yun Shui peak. His power is probably not as strong as Kong Wen or Mo Gu and people of that level
but when it comes to his ability in cultivating magic herbs, he can be called the number one in
TianXin sect.

Ling Xiao's first place win, other than the three level six magic pills, also includes three stalks of
level six magic herbs. He already has the magic pills in his hand but he has to get the magic herbs
from that Uncle Ye. That's because only the magic herbs cultivated by Uncle Ye is considered as
belonging to the whole TianXin sect. As for the magic herbs from the three different peaks, they are
taken care of by their own disciples so strictly speaking, they are considered the private property of
the respective peaks.

But, You XiaoMo swallows, "You going to get the magic herbs doesn't seem to have anything
to do with me ba?"

"Who says it has nothing to do with you? I have no use for those three stalks of level six
magic herbs. If I don't give them to you, then who?"

Ling Xiao waves his large hand, speaking matter of factly as if this is how is should be.

You XiaoMo is stunned, saying, "But ....... didn't that Sister Tang come looking for you asking
for it?"

"Her?"

Ling Xiao frowns, finally reminded of that annoying Little sister. He then says in a fed up voice,
"Why should I give them to her? The one who wants to give magic herbs to her is Lin Xiao, not
me."

You XiaoMo can't help but sympathize with Tang YunQi for a bit, but what Ling Xiao says is not
wrong.
But, even though it is like this, he still can't take them. He believes that a lot of the disciples are
definitely looking on, waiting to see how Ling Xiao would distribute the three stalks of magic herbs.
If he were to take the three stalks of magic herbs that Ling Xiao gives him, what would those people
think of his relationship with Ling Xiao?

Of course this is only one of the problems. More importantly, he is only an Earth peak disciple.
And Tang YunQi is the direct disciple of the leader of Heaven peak. She is also the daughter of the
Grand Master, a status that can't get any higher. For Ling Xiao to give the magic herbs to whomever, is
to declare his position on whichever side. Even though this would be advantageous for Earth peak,
You XiaoMo still doesn't want to be the fuse between Heaven peak and Earth peak.

He is only a small fry. Standing in the limelight is definitely not something he can endure right now.

"Elder brother Ling, I still have things to do. How about you go first and when I'm done with
my things, then I will go over and look for you?"

You XiaoMo asks cautiously. Refusing blankly may make Ling Xiao angry. If that happens, he
would definitely just drag him over by force.

Ling Xiao hears these words and immediately starts to laugh. He grips his shoulder and says softly
into his ear, "Little brother, let me ask you now. Going or not?"

You XiaoMo sees his smiling face and suffers a fierce shudder, " ....... going."

Ling Xiao is very pleased with this answer. He takes advantage of this opportunity to lightly pat his
white tender cheeks, "Ah, wouldn't it be better if you answer like this right from the beginning?
You still need me to threaten you every time. Really no improvement!"

Damn!

You XiaoMo even wishes he could die. This type of improvement is definitely not something he
wants!

After feeling restless the whole way, You XiaoMo is finally dragged by Ling Xiao to Yun Shui
peak. From far it appears short and stout. From near it is a wide gigantic mound that gives off a
relaxing feeling. Completely different from the mountain peaks You XiaoMo has seen before.

Yun Shui peak when compared to WuShuang peak, and the other three peaks is rather short and
small. Not poking through the clouds, not able to give rise to mountains and rivers. Definitely not
wrapped in clouds and mist. Instead, lush green dense trees grow on all sides. From far far away, a
large patch of green can be seen.

You XiaoMo looks as if entranced when Ling Xiao brushes against the barrier.

A wave of ripples spread out and disappears in an instant. But not long after, a child of seven or
eight years wearing a blue robe appears looking seventy to eighty percent like an immortal. He looks
serious, even appearing rather dignified. Seeing them, he shows no signs of surprise, as if he had
known that they would come.

The boy's eyes sweep past You XiaoMo and looks straight at Ling Xiao, his eyes lightly probing,
"Are you Young Lin Xiao?"

"It is Lin Xiao."

Ling Xiao cups his hands respectfully as he speaks.

"Come with me ba."

The boy nods lightly and turns around walking into the barrier.

You XiaoMo standing at the side hangs his mouth open slightly, not believing the scene he just
witnessed. Can it be that he is still dreaming?"

Ling Xiao doesn't explain anything to him, leading him into the barrier by the hand after the boy.
The barrier no longer impedes them, letting them pass through smoothly. The sight in front of their
eyes immediately takes on a whole new look. Turning into something completely different from what
it appears on the outside. The spiritual energy inside the barrier is twice as much as outside.

You XiaoMo is now very sensitive to spiritual energy. Just one breath and he can tell that the
spiritual energy inside the barrier if flooded with a faint scent of magic herbs, evident even at the
periphery. Clearly there must be many magic herb fields in Yun Shui peak.

The boy that You XiaoMo thinks is a little strange takes them outside an estate and tells them Ye
Han is inside before leaving. Hearing the tone of his voice, it's as if Ye Han is lower than him. Of
course in this whole wide universe, there must be all kinds of weird people.

You XiaoMo strongly forces down his wish to question Ling Xiao about what is really going on,
and follows Ling Xiao into the estate.

The estate is very large. Walking in, one immediately sees a tall and large building. It is not
magnificent like those glittering in jade and gold. It doesn't gladden the heart nor pleases the eye.
Rather, it's simple and unadorned with a practical feel. The building is made up of long blocks of blue
stone stacked together, a completely straightforward method of construction. The true look of the
estate is only revealed after walking past the building.

Fields of magic herbs. Clusters of bright and beautiful flowers and lush greens distributed evenly.
One look and it is obvious that someone is taking meticulous care. Some of the magic herbs are
already mature, swaying in the wind. So satisfying. Some have just sprouted, fresh and green,
delighting hearts and eyes.

The thing that is most shocking to You XiaoMo is that most of the magic herbs are mid-grade,
followed by low grade. Top grade is the least, only one in a hundred. Looking out as far as the eye
can see, it's basically level four to level six magic herbs. When they came in there was a sign saying
so on one side. Level seven and above should be in some other estate.

You XiaoMo stares wide-eyed at these magic herbs, flames erupting periodically in his eyes.

He suddenly rejoices that he came along. If not, he would not have the chance to see so many magic
herbs. Add just when he was preparing the familiarize himself with all sorts of mid-level magic
herbs. Although they are recorded in the books, it's not as intense as seeing them with his own eyes.
Furthermore, among these magic herbs, he also sees a few familiar magic herbs.

Ling Xiao smiles in satisfaction as he sees that he is unable to hide his excitement.

This morning, when he found out that You XiaoMo headed straight to the library after coming out of
seclusion, he knew what he was thinking. Remembering that he himself has not yet gone to get the
three stalks of magic herbs, he thinks of bringing him along to let him widen his knowledge. Now,
looking at his excited expression, he knows that his guess was right.

"Let's go ba. Let's go look for Uncle Ye. When the time comes, I'll let you have the
opportunity to go to the magic herb fields and personally pick out three stalks."

Ling Xiao grabs his hand and pulls him inside.

You XiaoMo firmly restrains the excitement in his heart. He allows himself to be pulled along with
a flushed face. After hearing these words he feels that he has falsely accused Ling Xiao. Turns out,
this was the reason why he insisted that he came over. He measured the stature of great men by the
yardstick of small men. Thinking like this, he glances guiltily and uneasily at Ling Xiao.

Although Ling Xiao is not looking at him, his smile gets even more brilliant after that guilty glance.
This is exactly what he wants!

Notes:ya4li4shan1da4 is transliterated as Alexander so I assume the author is just twisting her


words and means ya1li4shan1da4 which means pressure mountain big. The shan1da4 are the same
characters for both phrases. Or maybe she means facing Alexander the Great instead of just some
ordinary Alexander.

Chapter 86

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Meat pie from heaven.He Yan had known for a while that Lin Xiao was the winner of the grand
friendly competition from someone sent over by Tang Fan.

Lin Xiao has won the number one place for the grand competition five years in a row. This is the
fifth time. Even if he didn't know him before, now he is already familiar. It's just that before, Lin Xiao
always came alone. This time he actually brought a skinny mage with him, really unexpected.

"Uncle Ye, I've come to get this year's prize."

Seeing Ye Han, Ling Xiao directly states the reason for his visit.

Ye Han looks in surprise at the Ling Xiao that is not quite like the image in his mind. The Lin Xiao
before never used such a cheerful tone to speak to him. He also wouldn't be so ill-mannered, walking
right in without knocking on the door. But at the bottom of his heart, he prefers this 'Lin Xiao'.

The Lin Xiao of before, even though he is the number one in the warrior division, his personality is
rather cold. Adhering strictly to the roles of his duty, speaking straight to the point, each and every
action abiding my rules and regulations. He doesn't treat people with warm-hearted affection nor does
he seem too unfriendly. This type of just right feeling seems to be deliberately calculated, making him
feel uncomfortable, so Ye Han really didn't feel much connection with the Lin Xiao from before.

But the current Lin Xiao gives a somewhat different feel. The smile on his face doesn't seem to be
forced.

He Yan can't help moving his line of vision to the young one by his side. Pure glistening eyes,
delicate and soft features, a very spiritual young one. Looks like the one that changed him is indeed
this one. Thinking like this, he more less understands why Lin Xiao brought him.

You XiaoMo sees him look over, and somewhat overcautiously bows hastily in greeting, "Best
wishes Uncle Ye!"

A light smile suddenly appears on the expressionless face of Ye Han. He nods slightly at him
before turning to Ling Xiao saying, "I was told. Congratulations on getting first place again. This
year's prize is three stalks of level six magic herbs. They're outside. Go and choose them
yourself ba. Tell me when you have chosen."

"Then thank you very much Uncle Ye."

Ling Xiao cups his hands, saying with a vague smile.

After leaving the range of Ye Han's gaze, You XiaoMo can't help from heaving a sigh of relief.
Although Ye Han is a mage, his aura is very imposing, worthy of him being a high level mage.

Ling Xiao laughs looking at his huge shock over a small matter expression, "What are you afraid
of ya? In the future you will also be a great mage."

You XiaoMo takes his words as words of comfort because he himself is very clear. His innate
talent is relatively poor, so he can at most be a mid-level mage in this lifetime. A high level mage is
not something that he can achieve just because he wants it.

Level six magic herbs are at the center of the estate, also being the middle section of all the magic
herb fields.

You XiaoMo doesn't know the reason why Uncle Ye arranged them like this. But thinking about it, it
is probably beneficial for the magic herbs. Thinking further, when he goes back, should he also
follow this method to grow the magic herbs in the dimension?

After they find the magic herb patch, Ling Xiao lets him go over and choose. The level six magic
herbs cultivated by TianXin sect is very complete. Almost all the level six magic herbs that exist are
in there.

You XiaoMo sees that Ling Xiao is watching from one side so he simply walks over feeling at
ease.

Looking from up close of course is much clearer than looking from afar. But because the level is
rather high, the number of mature magic herbs is not a lot. Seventy to eighty percent are seedlings,
some have only just sprouted.

Looking greedily at these magic herbs, You XiaoMo walks enviously one round before coming
back to the original spot. He more less remembers them all. He discovers that among these level six
magic herbs, five types are identical to the ones he dug out from the ice cave. Because each type of
level six magic herbs have some that are mature, he just has to compare to figure it out.

After eliminating the ones he already has, You XiaoMo selects three stalks of mature magic herbs,
the names of which elude him for now. He had originally wanted to pick those at the seedling stage
but if he were to choose those, where would he plant them?

Everyone knows that he is only a puny level one mage, simply not allowed to have magic herb
gardens. So he can't take and plant them in his dimension, otherwise others would definitely question
him. Master and his brothers would even curse him to death, if he lets go of the fully matured magic
herbs and actually picks the seedlings. This is something only a fool would do!

So You XiaoMo can only restrain himself even though he really wants to try growing level six
magic herbs.

After choosing the three stalks of magic herbs, You XiaoMo takes out the little spade he used
before from his magic bag. He envelops the spade with his soul force and starts to dig out the magic
herbs. This is the result he obtained after many rounds of experimentation!

Because the root of the magic herb is like the human body's eight extraordinary meridians, if it is
harmed, the inner spiritual energy inside the magic herb would leak out. Like this, the quality of the
magic herb will be negatively affected. He already experienced this phenomenon when he was
picking magic herbs in his dimension. Ten over high grade magic herbs were irreversibly damaged by
his actions turning them into mid-grade magic herbs.

Luckily he has many more, if not he would really want to cry to death.

From then on, You XiaoMo is more careful in order not to make any mistakes. He also found out
from books that the soul force can be used to prevent the leaking of spiritual energy from the magic
herbs. After that, he actually didn't damage a single magic herb.

Because he already practiced in the ice cave, You XiaoMo's speed in digging magic herbs is even
faster than before. He dug them out under fifteen minutes. Three stalks of magic herbs lying neatly and
tidily in his hand, roots completely intact, only with bits of soil clinging to them.

All three stalks of magic herbs are mid-grade magic herbs. He very much wanted to dig up top-
grade magic herbs but after walking one round, he didn't see even one top-grade magic herb so he
could only give up.

Holding the three stalks of magic herbs, You XiaoMo runs excitedly towards Ling Xiao.

After getting a clear look, he finds out that He Yan is now standing next to Ling Xiao from who
knows when. He also doesn't know how long he has been standing there looking at him with what
seems to be surprise.

You XiaoMo doesn't know the reason so he simply shows him the magic herbs he dug out, "Uncle
Ye, I've chosen three stalks of magic herbs."

Ye Han had seen from afar the magic herbs in his hand but looking at them up close gives him an
even bigger surprise. The three stalks of magic herbs do not have the slightest bit of damage,
especially the root portion. He could actually manage to dig up not too much dirt and yet not damage
them one bit. Most importantly, his hands are holding three level six magic herbs.

It must be said that the higher the level of the magic herb, the more careful one has to be.
Otherwise, with just one slip of the hand, a healthy stalk of high level magic herb will be lost.

His original intention was to let them pick out the magic herbs and then he would personally dig
them out because he was afraid that they would damage the root portion of the magic herb. Now, it
seems that he was clearly worried for nothing.

"Have you helped your Master take care of magic herbs before?"

Ye Han asks suddenly.


You XiaoMo is momentarily stunned before reacting when he realizes that he was talking to him.
He quickly shakes his head, "No, I haven't helped anyone take care of magic herbs."

Ye Han raises his brows, "Then how do you know to use the soul force to dig out magic
herbs?"

Of course You XiaoMo can't tell him the truth so he simply says, "I read it in a book. The books
said that the root of the magic herb is very important and also a hundred percent fragile. So
when digging magic herbs, one has to pay attention and use the soul force and carefully cover it
up. I just tried it out and managed to dig it out. Uncle Ye, did I do something wrong?"

A lot of people know he likes to read books so he isn't afraid of being found out.

Ye Han sees his cautious manner, and his heart can't help but soften. Hips lips start to form a slight
smile, "It's nothing. You did very well. You're the smartest person I've seen. Looks like you have
a lot of talent in this area."

You XiaoMo blushes. This is the first time someone has praised him for being smart. It must be
said that ever since his rebirth until now, most of the time he hears Ling Xiao saying he's stupid. But
what has more to do with it is that he is embarrassed because reading is only a part of it. Experience
is the real reason behind it ah!

Ling Xiao hears these words and on the one side smiles slightly while on the other side looks at
You XiaoMo meaningfully.

Of course You XiaoMo senses his gaze making him so ashamed that he wants to drill underground.
If Ye Han had praised him when he wasn't around, he can still force himself to accept it. But just
when he praises him, there is a certain someone who knows the real situation standing at his side.
This kind of feeling, he can neither accept or reject it, really too vexing!

Ye Han only thinks that he is being shy, tossing out an invitation, "Would you be interested in
coming here to be my apprentice?"

Ah? You XiaoMo raises his head in surprise.

Ling Xiao standing at the side is also very shocked. In the memory, Ye Han has never accepted an
apprentice before. It's not that he doesn't want to accept, nor is it that he demands too much, but it's
because his character is a little eccentric so very few people would catch his eye.

Yet many disciples from the mage division continue to vie to be his apprentice. Because if they
were to become his apprentice, that would mean they can enter Yun Shui peak and spend time with
high level magic herbs. This would only be beneficial for their future as a mage.

"But, but ....... I already have a Master."

You XiaoMo stammers with a depressed heart. Of course he wants to stay here. There are a lot of
magic herbs here oh. Thinking of this, his face also reveals a little heartache.

Ye Han looks at his perturbed face that clearly shows that he doesn't want to refuse and yet is
forced to refuse. In the end he can't help laughing, "Ah, you have misunderstood my meaning. I
meant to let you come here and lend a helping hand. It wouldn't take up too much of your time.
Furthermore, you can learn a lot of things from me here. Of course, I will also give you fifty
merit points every day. How about it? Want to think it over for a bit?"

You XiaoMo feels dizzy. He is dizzy from being hit by the meat pie that fell from heaven.

When they leave, it's Ling Xiao that is holding him up as they walk away.

Note:meat pie - golden goose

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Kong Wen's aim.When they return to Earth peak, You XiaoMo immediately comes back to life,
seizing Ling Xiao's collar and asking non-stop if what just happened isn't just him dreaming, bothering
Ling Xiao until he doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he raps him a few times on the
head making him come back to his senses.

You XiaoMo covers his head as he exclaims happily, "You're rapping my head so I'm obviously
not dreaming."

Ling Xiao grinds his teeth. Obviously this blockhead is asking for a beating. If he had known
earlier, he would have rapped him a few more times.

When he calms down from all the excitement, You XiaoMo finally realizes that he is being carried
in Ling Xiao's arms. What is most vexing is that Ling Xiao is using the princess hold. So Ling Xiao
carried him from Yun Shui peak back to Earth peak?

Ling Xiao understands the look on his face. He bares his teeth as he smiles, "Congratulations.
You've guessed correctly. Just now, a lot of people witnessed me carrying you back. So let me
congratulate you again. You've become famous yet again."

"No~~~~~~~"

You XiaoMo's miserable shriek reverberates across the whole Earth peak in a split second.

Ling Xiao really wasn't lying. When he carried him back, a lot of people saw them, and not just
disciples from Earth peak. There were already a lot of people waiting to see who he would give the
three stalks of magic herbs to. After finding out that he is bringing You XiaoMo to Yun Shui peak
today, they can already guess the outcome yet there are still a lot of people who refuse to believe it
right up to the last moment.

And so, one spreads to ten, ten spreads to a hundred, a hundred spreads to a thousand. As a result,
it's not just the mage division that knows. It even sweeps across the warrior division being spread by
winds of nosiness. So when You XiaoMo is hiding in his room, there are already a lot of people
talking about this matter.

So by now, You XiaoMo is finally firmly tied to this boat of Ling Xiao, never to be separated.

Not long after Ling Xiao left, You XiaoMo is once again summoned by Kong Wen.

This time it's not just Master and disciple having a chat. Rather, it is held at Earth peak's Assembly
Hall. Besides the five big brothers and big sister NanGong Ying, Uncle Zhao, there are also two
Uncles that You XiaoMo doesn't recognize.
You XiaoMo walks in trembling in fear. This lineup makes him feel as if he is facing the severity of
the combined judgement of three courts. *ying ying ying* He is only a small potato, nothing more.

"Disciple greets Master."

"Young Seven, do you know why Master called you over?"

Kong Wen's pair of shining eyes fall on him with an expression of utmost seriousness. As if what he
is going to say next is something extremely important.

You XiaoMo thinks and thinks but he really isn't clear. So he plays it safe and shakes his head,
"Disciple doesn't know. Master please clarify."

Kong Wen suddenly raps his five fingers on the armrest. After a moment of silence, he says,
"Master hears that Yun Shui peak's Uncle Ye wants to take you as an apprentice. Is this true?"

You XiaoMo's eyes open wide. This seems to have just happened four hours ago. He didn't expect
it to get around so fast. He thought that Master called him over because of the three stalks of level six
magic herbs, or because of Ling Xiao's strange behavior. Looks like he is mistaken. He hastily says,
"Yes, Uncle Ye let me think it over."

Just as he finished speaking, he hears soft gasps of surprise coming from both sides.

"Tell us what happened when you went to Yun Shui peak. Make it crystal clear, understand?"

Kong Wen speaks coldly and sternly.

"Yes Master."

You XiaoMo lowers his head. There is really nothing to hide regarding this matter. Since Master
already knows about this matter, he must have ways of getting the information. But he also knows that
he can't tell everything. So, except for him only taking fifteen minutes to dig out the magic herbs, he
relates everything else, not leaving out a single word.

After listening to his words, everyone is quiet.

Fang ChenLe didn't react much from the start until he hears the last words. The warm smile that
You XiaoMo is familiar with appears again on his face, "Little brother, looks like you have not
read those books in vain."

You XiaoMo's mouth twitches as he smiles uncomfortably.

Other people also have more or less heard Fang ChenLe speak about how You XiaoMo really likes
to read. It is said that he would go to the library every few days to borrow books. He also went this
morning ne.

Kong Wen sighs softly, "Catching Uncle Ye's eye is your good fortune. But did you consider
that with your current strength, even if you go to Yun Shui peak, it won't do you much good. The
lowest magic herb in Yun Shui peak is level four. And you are now only a level one mage. If it
was your Elder brother or Second brother, then ....... "

Fang ChenLe's pupils expand a little, and just as he is going to speak, Kong Wen gives him a
meaningful glare.

You XiaoMo thinks that he now knows the real reason why Kong Wen called him over. That burst
of excited energy finally disappears. What Master says is not wrong. He is only a level one mage that
can be found everywhere. Yun Shui peak is a rarefied place. For him to go would be wasting an
opportunity.

Even though he feels that what Master says is right but hearing these words, he still feels a little
hurt.

He is also Master's disciple. It's bad enough that he is not excited for him to get this opportunity.
On top of that, he actually hints that he should give the opportunity to others. Seeing that the others
appear to be in agreement, You XiaoMo's expression gets sadder and sadder. Fine, luckily the ones
that Master suggested are Elder brother and Second brother. If they really are the ones to go, then he
definitely won't object!

"What Master says is absolutely right. Disciple will tell Uncle Ye the next time disciple sees
him."

You XiaoMo cups his hands and say somewhat dispiritedly.

Immediately Kong Wen and the other two Uncles reveal satisfied smiles. Only then do they make
perfunctory enquiries about his well-being. Finally, Kong Wen brings up the matter about the three
stalks of level six magic herbs.

You XiaoMo thinks that it will like those scenes on TV where one has to give up the good stuff as a
form of respect for the elders. Unexpectedly, Kong Wen lets him hold on to them, actually giving him
three jade boxes to store the three stalks of magic herbs. Supposedly it's for him to use when he
becomes a level six mage in the future. It's essentially a disguised form of compensation ba!

As for why he didn't ask for the magic herbs, it's most probably because he gave up the opportunity
ba.

Returning to his room, You XiaoMo isn't in the mood to do anything. He collapses on the bed, not
able to climb up again.

He feels like he has been riding on a roller coaster the whole day today. His heart has been thrown
violently up and down from morning until now. His limited brain cells are completely used up,
sleeping *hu hu* for four whole hours, only crawling up when the sun sets.

Then he spends an hour to finally straighten out his chaotic train of thought. The first thing he does
is to let all the swearwords that he has been holding in for the whole day explode out of his mouth. He
feels much better after venting. Finally he takes stock of all that happened today.

Three major things happened today.

This first thing is that he got three stalks of level six magic herbs. Magic herbs of this level for him
right now is only something to look up at.

The second this is that Yun Shui peak's Uncle Ye wants to accept him as his apprentice. It's too bad
that his excitement only lasted a little while before Master made him give the opportunity to Elder
brother and Second brother. Very depressing. But he is sincerely happy for Elder brother and Second
brother because they are really very capable. He also admires them very much.

The third thing is that he again offended Tang YunQi. This time it's a deadly offense.

And that's the end of it. It's basically all these.

As for his own plans for today, not even one fart was completed.

You XiaoMo only remembers now that he wanted to talk to Ling Xiao about how he broke through
the first level of the Heavenly Soul Scroll. Right up to the time he left, he still didn't think of this
matter. Looks like he can only wait to tell him the next time.

You XiaoMo then takes out the three jade boxes that Master gave him from his storage bag. He has
read about these boxes before. These jade boxes are made out of white jade. Feels especially cold
but it won't freeze the hand. It's made specially to store high level magic herbs in order to prevent the
loss of spiritual power from the magic herbs.

But there are also many types of jade boxes because there are many grades of white jade. The
higher the grade, the higher the level of magic herbs that can be stored. Such as the one in his hand. By
looking, one can tell that the quality of the white jade is no ordinary goods. Master actually said that it
can be used to store high level magic herbs. That must mean level seven and above. He heard that
these kinds of jade boxes are very hard to come by. And he actually gave him three all at once, really
willing to let go of such valuables.

It's just too bad that he doesn't need jade boxes. The dimension in his chest is flooded with spiritual
energy, the best place to store magic herbs. If he could exchange the jade boxes for level four to level
six magic herb seeds, that would be good. You XiaoMo seems to be hoping the heavens would open
as he does some wishful thinking.

Walking out from the fantasy world, You XiaoMo pats his stiff cheeks.

After keeping the jade boxes, he first checks to see that the room is locked properly. He then
returns to the bed and with one thought in his heart, he appears in the dimension.

What greets him is a stretch of fresh green seedlings, all of which are a mix of level two magic
herbs. He no longer plants level one magic herbs because he will soon use them up, and he also
doesn't need too much. So the magic herbs in the field are mostly a mix of level two magic herbs. He
doesn't plant them all since he doesn't have the strength to use them all. Planting too much is of no use.

You XiaoMo walks over there and ponders the approximate harvest date for the level two and
level three magic herbs. Then he walks to the rack by the lake.

The ten or so stalks of magic herbs he discovered in the ice cave and the three stalks of magic
herbs that Ling Xiao gave him are lying peacefully on it. You XiaoMo picks up a sieve and puts them
on it. He then moves to the magic herb field and plants them one by one.

Even though there are still come impurities in them, it's alright, I can help them wash their insides
da!

Chapter 88

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Wishing the heavens would open.Although Master and those few people made him depressed for a
bit, You XiaoMo very quickly forgets about it.

After returning to his own room, he becomes very busy.

Because it's rare for people to come and disturb him at night, You XiaoMo stays in the dimension
until the morning of the next day with his mind at ease. During these short hours, he zealously put
everything in order, and at the same time, taking stock of the things he needs to buy the next time he
goes down the mountain.

On top of that, he decides to build a small hut of his own by the lake. Taking that into account, the
things he needs to buy is too much. His expenses will be one big sum. With his current assets, it's far
from enough. So he has to find some time to bring forward the matter regarding the auction.

The dimension gives him too much of the feeling of being at home. Here he can openly do whatever
he wants without fear. No need to worry that others would find out. No need to be anxious and afraid.
Although there is a wide expanse to be weeded, and he has to painstakingly water the magic herbs
everyday, he feels that this type of living is very fulfilling.

No need to scheme. No need to be on guard against others. Everyday there are free of charge magic
herbs for him to use. Really too awesome!

Coming out of the dimension, You XiaoMo stretches his body. Looking outside, he sees that the sun
has risen. He smacks his lips.

Talking about that, it's been a long time since he ate some regular rice.

Ever since he refined the Fasting magic pills, he hasn't eaten real food. Although he hasn't been
hungry but his tastebuds have been unstimulated. It basically feels strange, sometimes actually making
him feel uncomfortable. After all, he lived as a normal person for eighteen years, eating three meals a
day is only normal, almost instinctive.

So not eating for some time, he feels it's very unnatural. Once he is idle, he can't help recalling the
feeling of chewing rice grains in his mouth.

You XiaoMo rubs his tummy. Looking outside at the height of the sun, he determines that breakfast
time is not yet over. He tidies up the room before heading to the canteen.

The canteen is lively as usual. Even though the peak time for breakfast is over, there are quite a few
tables occupied. Male and female all present. Quite a few of them are indulging in loud and empty
talk. But closely following the entrance of You XiaoMo, the lively voices gradually start to quiet
down. More and more stares start to fall on You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo takes one look around before lowering his head.

Very long ago, he figured out that he just can't keep a low profile, so he learned to ignore their
stares.

After scooping out enough food, You XiaoMo carries his tray and sits down at an unoccupied table
in a corner. No matter what kind of stares fall on him, however complicated, or filled with
admiration, jealousy or hate, he ignores them all.

You all like to watch right? Then look all you want. I won't ask for money.

Maybe feeling that it's boring, everyone finally withdraw their gazes. But the volume of the
conversation is a little less than before. From time to time, eyes would still glance over at You
XiaoMo.

No matter how you put it, although You XiaoMo is not currently in favor, he is still Kong Wen's
disciple. Based on this, no one would make irresponsible remarks to his face.

You XiaoMo is only too happy for the peace and quiet. Before, when he just became Kong Wen's
disciple, those few brothers all look at him as if seeing a leader, all running up to him to get on his
good side. Almost annoying him to death.

You XiaoMo has always disliked the atmosphere in the canteen. Somewhat stifling, especially
when he appeared. He hurriedly finishes the food on his tray and is just about to stand up and clean up
when a figure suddenly appears next to him. Not waiting for him to raise his head, that person starts
speaking. The gentle voice, if it isn't Elder brother Fang ChenLe, who else can it be?

"Little brother, you let me have a hard time looking for you."

You XiaoMo laughs *hei hei*, "Elder brother, do you need something?"

Fang ChenLe doesn't take it to heart, simply pulling up a chair and sitting down. Looking at You
XiaoMo sheepishly, he gets straight to the point, "Little brother, Elder brother has wronged you. I
didn't expect that when Master called for you yesterday, it is actually with that kind of intention
....... "

"Wait wait. Elder brother."

You XiaoMo quickly stops him from blaming himself, saying somewhat helplessly, "I know that
Elder brother and Second brother had nothing to do with it. I also don't blame the both of you. I
know that Master said that for your benefit. What Master said is right, it's more beneficial for
both of you to go than me."

"But, this way it is very unfair for you isn't it?"


Fang ChenLe says in a deep voice.

Although Yun Shui peak makes him very excited, he isn't the type that would step on his younger
brother's back to get ahead. If it really has to be like that, he would rather refuse the opportunity. He
also believes that ZiLin is of the same opinion as him.

You XiaoMo sees the slight change in his expression and knows that Elder brother is really angry.
Having an Elder brother that really thinks about him, he feels that he is very lucky. So he feels that if
the opportunity really goes to Elder brother, he definitely wouldn't be upset.

"Elder brother, I heard that it is very hard for mages to go past level four. You and Second brother
have stayed as level four mages for a few years. If you get to go to Yun Shui peak, the chance of a
breakthrough would be higher right? I really want to see the both of you become more powerful. Then
Heaven peak will no longer be able to look down on us right?

You XiaoMo feels that he is somewhat clumsy with words, unable to come up with strong powerful
words to convince Elder brother. So he can only use simple words to convey his thoughts.

"Little brother, you're too simpleminded."

Fang ChenLe sighs.

"What do you mean?"

You XiaoMo asks in surprise.

"Did you consider that the one Uncle Ye wants is actually you and not me and Second
brother? This matter isn't as easy as you letting us have the opportunity and so be it. If Uncle Ye
doesn't agree, do you think me and your Second brother will get to go?"

Fang ChenLe shakes his head, clearly showing that he doesn't know.

"Ah?"

You XiaoMo is stunned. He really didn't think about this, "But from what Master said ....... "

Fang ChenLe really wants to pry open his head and take a look at what's inside, "You think that
whatever Master says is law? If it really is like that, Master, that old man, would have found a
way a long time ago to get me and Second brother sent into Yun Shui peak. That Uncle Ye. Don't
be fooled by his outer amiable appearance. The fact is, the things that he doesn't want to do,
even the Grand Master won't be able to force him to do."

"Then what is it that Master wants?"

You XiaoMo asks stupidly. He already can't cope with it.


Speaking of Master, Fang ChenLe shows some helplessness, "Most probably Master feels that
since you managed to get Uncle Ye to like you, if you were to bring it up, it would have more
chance of success ba!"

You XiaoMo is speechless .......

He didn't expect that Master being someone so shrewd, would actually think this way.

Looks like he really values Elder brother and Second brother. If not, he wouldn't have come up
with his kind of method. If he himself has a Master that treats him like that ....... ai ya, what an
unrealistic way of thinking!

"Elder brother, no matter how it is, when I go see Uncle Ye, I will still bring it up."

You XiaoMo says firmly.

Fang ChenLe sees his determined face, and having more or less an understanding of his character,
he knows that it's no use persuading him. He can only say helplessly, "Little brother, I know you are
doing this for Elder brother but you must still act within your means. You must absolutely not
make Uncle Ye angry. Oh right, your Second brother asked me to tell you something."

"What is it?"

You XiaoMo asks curiously.

Fang ChenLe is all smiles, "He says for you to not mind other people's business."

You XiaoMo grins. This Second brother is really an awkward person. A softie with a gruff
exterior!

You XiaoMo leaves the canteen together with Fang ChenLe. Everyone in the canteen witnessed it.
Quite a few people look at each other in dismay. They thought that there would be big rift in the
relationship between You XiaoMo and Elder brother. Looks like there is a big discrepancy between
the reality and their imagination. And so, the speculation collapses of its own.

Three days later, Ling Xiao comes to look for You XiaoMo.

Before, Uncle Ye gave You XiaoMo some time to think it over, up to three days.

This time, the reason why Ling Xiao comes to see him, is because of this matter. Because Uncle Ye
asked him to bring You XiaoMo back to see him three days later. But even if he didn't say so, Ling
Xiao would still do it.

The matter regarding Kong Wen summoning him, Ling Xiao knows about it but definitely doesn't
plan on bringing it up.

Just like what Fang ChenLe said, if Uncle Ye is someone so easy to convince, all these years, he
would have been surrounded with people a long time ago. Why would he wait until now? Those
intentions are nothing but wishing the heavens would open. Even if You XiaoMo agrees, one still
needs to get past Uncle Ye. So he isn't worried at all.

Ling Xiao doesn't ask. You XiaoMo doesn't believe that he hasn't heard the rumors. Although he is
a little surprised, he still heaves a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if he really has to tell him what he is
thinking, he would definitely call him stupid. Why would he go looking for insults?!

On the way, You XiaoMo tells Ling Xiao the things he wants to do the next time he goes down the
mountain. This time, there are a lot of things he wants to buy. Other than the building materials for the
small hut, he wants to see if he can buy level four to level six magic herbs.

But this time he needs a large sum of money. So he needs to arrange the auction before considering
these things. But he doesn't know if HePing town has an auction house. Ling Xiao should know better
than him.

"We will soon arrive at Yun Shui peak. Wait until we return. I'll tell you then."

Ling Xiao deliberately raises his brows.

"Alright ba."

You XiaoMo looks at the soon approaching Yun Shui peak, starting to feel hesitant.

Ling Xiao sees his nervous expression from the corner of his eye and snorts *chi*, "Later, you
must be cautious in speech and conduct. Your Uncle Ye is not someone with a good temper. If
you were to make him angry, *ze ze ze*!"

You XiaoMo -_-|| . Already at the door and he still wants to scare him. Can't he see that he is
already so nervous?

Chapter 89

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

"Successful pitch."Just like the last time, the one that comes to receive them is the child with the
combed back hair.

The boy's body emits a noble air that forbids others from getting close. You XiaoMo is almost
certain of his status. He should be one of the legendary guards of Yun Shui peak. It's just that this
Elder's outer appearance is seriously different from the image he conjured up in his mind.

After taking them outside the estate, the boy once again disappears soundlessly.

You XiaoMo is already used to seeing strange things so he just walks inside with Ling Xiao, going
according to the path they used the last time. Right in front of the large magic herb field is a small hut.
At this moment, Ling Xiao who is walking in front stops suddenly. You XiaoMo doesn't notice and
bumps his head right into his back. Rubbing his hurting nose, he is just about to open his mouth when
Ling Xiao suddenly covers his mouth.

You XiaoMo raises his head and uses his eyes to ask, "What is it?"

"There's someone."

Ling Xiao mouths those words, not caring if You XiaoMo understands. He pricks up his ears
listening to the movements in the small hut.

You XiaoMo looks over at the wooden hut that is still over thirty meters away. His lips twitch as
he pouts.

After a while, Ling Xiao removes his hand from You XiaoMo's mouth and signals for him to
continue walking.

You XiaoMo receives the message. Knowing that they can start talking, he quickly asks, "What
happened just now? Don't tell me there was someone else in the wooden hut besides Uncle Ye?
But no one came out ah?"

"That person has left. It's not strange that you didn't see him."

Ling Xiao doesn't hide it from him, continuing, "They were talking about you. That person was
sent by Tang Fan. Tang Fan heard that Ye Han wanted to accept you as an apprentice so he sent
someone to convince him not to take you."

"Why?"

You XiaoMo asks, a little upset.


Why is it that everyone doesn't want him to be Uncle Ye's apprentice? Although he knows in his
heart, but hearing it from the mouth of others, he still feels very wronged.

"This you still have to ask?"

Ling Xiao glances at him and continues lightly, "Ye Han is someone that everyone in TianXin
sect wants to get on their side. Even Tang Fan is no exception. The only peak that is closely
linked to Tang Fan is Heaven peak. Although he is the Grand Master of TianXin sect, he still
wishes for the person by Ye Han's side to be someone from Heaven peak. Furthermore, you're
from Earth peak, for him to agree, that would be strange."

You XiaoMo pouts exaggeratedly, "Clearly I'm also a disciple of TianXin sect ....... "

Ling Xiao sneers coldly and says lightly, "Tang Fan isn't as fair and impartial as you imagine.
He is only an ordinary person, with selfish motives and desires. On top of that, he has been on
top for a long time. No matter how noble and lofty, one would still be reduced to some small
selfish man. Furthermore, Tang Fan was never a saint. Wait until you've seen it a few more
times, you'll slowly get used to it."

You XiaoMo pouts. He has absolutely no desire to get used to it. This world is too treacherous. He
wants to go back to Earth!

"Did you hear what that person said to Uncle Ye?"

You XiaoMo asks.

Hearing these words, Ling Xiao can't help hooking his arm over You XiaoMo's shoulder, one finger
tilting his jaw upwards, saying frivolously, "Of course. Although he put up a barrier outside, the
level is nothing difficult for me. You want to know?"

You XiaoMo pouts and pouts. Why does he feel like he is being molested? It must be that he got up
the wrong way from the bed this morning. Otherwise, why would he have this absurd misconception?

Ling Xiao sees that he doesn't respond but still doesn't feel put out, "Actually you can guess
without me having to tell you. That person used the excuse that you only entered TianXin sect
for less than two months so you don't have a service record. He wants Ye Han to forget about
taking you in as an apprentice and let Tang YunQi take your place. But Ye Shan is also not
someone that is easy to deal with. He insisted that other than you, no one else would do. That
person received orders from Tang Fan so of course he wouldn't ease up. In the end, he said that
your background is dubious and that you may be a spy. They spoke until they heard your
footsteps, then that person left. That's pretty much it."

You XiaoMo can't help but pout three times over. Why does it seem like those last words is putting
the blame on him? He is only a puny little mage. There's no need to add those amazing and fearsome
things to his name.
"Come in ba."

Ye Han's voice comes from the hut.

Only then does You XiaoMo realize that he has unconsciously walked right up to the hut so he just
pushes the door and walks in with Ling Xiao.

Ye Han stands in front of a rack of magic herbs, with his back facing them, as if he is putting the
magic herbs in order. Hearing the door open, he turns around. His face is calm, just like how he
appeared three days ago. As if he is not the least big angry with what just happened half a minute ago.

"So what do you think about it?"

Ye Han doesn't like to talk in a roundabout way, getting straight to the point after sitting down.

You XiaoMo glances at Ling Xiao who gives him a slight smile. He quickly shifts his gaze and
hesitates for a bit before saying, "Uncle Ye, I am very happy that you appreciate a nobody like me but
I have been granted your undeserved kindness. I think I'm not fit for this position. So, I think that it
should be given to someone that needs it more than me.

Hearing these words, Ye Han isn't surprised. He only looks at him for a while before sighing softly,
"Looks like you've already heard about it. Three days ago, I was indeed too rash. I didn't
consider how this matter would cause problems for you."

"It's not like that Uncle Ye."

You XiaoMo hears those words bearing responsibility and is alarmed, "I never felt that this
matter is troublesome, it's just that, it's just that ....... "

After racking his brains, You XiaoMo still can't figure out what he should say so he can only look
at Ling Xiao at his side.

Ling Xiao sees his imploring gaze and is very happy that he immediately thinks of him. As for the
possibility that it is because there are only the three of them here, so You XiaoMo has no other
choice, Ling Xiao chooses to single-mindedly ignore that fact altogether.

"Uncle Ye, this matter, I trust you know more about it than the both of us. Your position is
very unique. The person by your side, be it disciple or apprentice, they must be proven to be a
hundred percent devoted to TianXin sect. But You XiaoMo is different. He still hasn't inherited
the canons of TianXin sect, making it obvious that TianXin sect does not trust him. For this type
of disciple to be able to come in and out of Yun Shui peak, it's not just the Grand Master that
won't agree, even those old fogies up there would probably not agree."

Yun Shui peak is like the heart of TianXin sect. Touch one hair and it would affect the whole body.

"Yes ah, Uncle Ye, if you really need an apprentice, my Elder brother and Second brother can
do. They are both level four mages. Their experience is richer than mine, definitely will do a
better job than me. Really. If you don't believe, you can test them."

You XiaoMo quickly chimes in. He now understands Ling Xiao's analysis. Truthfully, it would be
extremely difficult for him to walk this road of an apprentice. Rather than charging ahead obstinately,
wouldn't it be better for him to give this opportunity to Elder brother and Second brother? This way,
the opportunity wouldn't be wasted.

Ye Han doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. It's obviously such a serious topic but hearing him
speak this way he can't maintain the seriousness. He actually feels that this little disciple is worried
that he would compromise thus losing out on this good opportunity so he hurriedly pitched his Big
brothers.

Ling Xiao hears him still constantly thinking about his Elder brother and is just about to flip out
when he suddenly gets a flash of inspiration. He then gives a push before Ye Han starts to speak.

"Uncle Ye, what Little brother says is right. I have met those two brothers. Their characters
are indeed pretty good when compared to others. Elder brother Fang ChenLe is a gentle and
amiable person that is very approachable. His popularity is also quite high. Second brother Fu
ZiLin although a little cold, he is very serious when it comes to doing things. If you were to
accept the both of them, I can guarantee that you won't regret it."

Hearing these words, You XiaoMo stares wide-eyed in surprise at Ling Xiao.

It's hard to believe that Ling Xiao would speak on behalf of his Big brothers. He somehow
remembers that Ling Xiao doesn't seem to like Elder brother very much. Furthermore, his
understanding of those two is even deeper than his!

The ones surprised is not just You XiaoMo. There's also Ye Han.

But Ye Han is not like You XiaoMo, showing his inner thoughts on his face. He is only shocked in
his heart.

Ling Xiao is actually recommending someone, and people from Earth peak on top of that. If Tang
Fan finds out, he would most probably be angered to death by this disciple. But it must be said that
this Ling Xiao is really more to his liking. If Tang Fan really gets angered, then wouldn't that be good!

"Uncle Ye, what do you think?"

You XiaoMo asks cautiously.

Ye Han almost can't keep a straight face. This is the first time a junior has dared to speak to him
like that. On top of that, asking him what is his decision. It can't be that that one short moment is all
the time he is given to consider?

Although the impression Ye Han has of the both of them is not bad, he can't decide on such a big
thing in such a short time. If not, certain people would definitely get anxious.

I can't give you an answer on this matter right now. How about this ba. Find a time for them to
come by and I will test them personally. If they can impress me, I will accept them as apprentices."

Ye Han says.

"Then I'm very grateful. I will let them know."

You XiaoMo says immediately, his face showing both happiness and surprise.

Ye Han shakes his head. He has not seen this type of pure happiness for the sake of his brothers
getting an opportunity, actually beaming with happiness from the inside, for a long time now. It's a pity
....... it's a pity that he already has a Master. If not, taking him as a disciple is probably not a bad
decision. Thinking of this, Ye Han is inwardly shocked. He has not thought about taking a disciple for
a very long time. And now, this young man that he has only met twice can make him think this way, it's
really very shocking!

The one that doesn't know that he just missed out on a gigantic opportunity, You XiaoMo, is
currently pulling Ling Xiao along down the mountain, full of excitement, seeming as if he urgently
wants to share the good news with his Big brothers.

Chapter 90

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

One more kiss.Ling Xiao can no longer stand You XiaoMo's eager manner, so he takes him straight
back to the room.

You XiaoMo doesn't know why he wants to stop him from telling Elder brother the good news. He
sits angrily on the chair all in a huff looking at him.

Ling Xiao closes the door and walks back with his arms crossed and looks at him. He watches,
with a hidden glint in his eyes, those eyes that are shooting flames. He continues watching as those
flames get smaller and smaller, finally going out. Only then does he smile, "Little brother, are you in
a hurry to see your Elder brother?"

You XiaoMo immediately shakes his head, "No."

Yes also must say no!

"Then why were you running so fast?"

Ling Xiao smiles as he asks.

"That, of course is so I can come back to my own room. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Gold
houses and silver houses are not as good as one own's doghouse'?"

You XiaoMo stammers, praying that he can deceive him this way.

Of course Ling Xiao is not going to admit that there is some sense in those words. He pulls a chair
and sits by his side.

You XiaoMo immediately picks up the teapot and diligently pours a cup of water for him, "Elder
brother Ling, drink a cup of water first before speaking."

Ling Xiao gives him face, taking a sip after taking the cup.

You XiaoMo takes advantage of this time to ask, "Elder brother Ling, your not allowing me to
tell Elder brother and Second brother the good news, is it because there is something wrong?"

Ling Xiao's lips slowly curve upwards. Learning fast are we? He then says calmly, "It's no big
deal. It's just that there is someone more anxious than you. Even if you don't go, in a bit,
someone will come over to find you."

Someone is referring to a certain person. You XiaoMo is not so stupid that he wouldn't know this
little bit. Other than his Master, there probably isn't a second choice.
After calming down, You XiaoMo no longer feels that impetus. Just like Ling Xiao said, Elder
brother and Second brother will find out sooner or later. There's just no need for him to be worried.
Thinking like this, he remembers that he himself has a lot of questions he wants to ask. Taking
advantage of Ling Xiao's presence, he simply relates the whole process of his Heavenly Soul Scroll
breakthrough.

Ling Xiao listens to him and then ponders for a bit, "Mages are not the same as martial artists.
Mages train the soul force. In order to have a breakthrough, not only does the capacity have to
accumulate, a key moment is also needed. But this key moment is not something that would
happen to everyone. So, it's only when one finds the right way, that there would be the
opportunity to have a breakthrough."

"What about the way?"

You XiaoMo asks.

"Putting pressure on your soul force is one of the ways. Like when you use up your soul force
when refining magic pills. This is also a type of pressure placed on your soul force. But because
you usually replenish it with magic water just in time, so this phenomenon is not clearly
reflected on your body. But with the increase of your soul force, the result will get more and
more obvious. As for why you didn't have a breakthrough when you didn't drink magic water
before, it's most probably because you haven't reached the critical point required for a
breakthrough."

Actually Ling Xiao is not speaking from his own knowledge. He is speaking while raiding Lin
Xiao's memory.

The presence of a Junior sister that likes him so she tells him all she knows is a good thing.
Although Lin Xiao is not a mage, but clearly because of ambition, he frequently asks Tang YunQi
about matters regarding mages, making him very knowledgeable on these matters.

"So that's how it is!"

You XiaoMo says somewhat pensively.

Ling Xiao takes advantage of his inattentiveness and strokes his cheeks. The two cheeks are
unimaginably soft and tender. He breathes out softly and says, "Since you already broke through the
first level of Heavenly Soul Scroll, you should now be able to refine level two magic pills."

"I also think so."

You XiaoMo distractedly grips his hand. There's no need to say how excited he feels inside. He
thought he would need two to three more months before breaking through to a level two mage. And the
heavens suddenly gave him such a huge pleasant surprise. Now he has over three months of time, so
the assessment will definitely not be a problem.
Ling Xiao looks at his cheeks and lips that have become slightly red from excitement. He can't help
narrowing his eyes, and while You XiaoMo is looking at him in surprise, he leans over and licks him.
Feeling that it is not enough, he takes the opportunity to lick him again. Then again and again.

A certain excited someone already turned into stone .......

Ling Xiao is also beyond excited. Too sweet. Why does it seem that it has been smeared with
honey? So sweet that he is addicted. Completely not tired of it. In the end, he actually sticks his
tongue between those partially closed lips, hooking up with the stiff tongue. Sucking over and over,
eating with high spirits. Totally unwilling to let go. Only when he feels that You XiaoMo is out of
breath, does he reluctantly let go.

You XiaoMo already came back to his senses when his tongue entered his mouth. But the reality is,
this little virgin has no way of withstanding Ling Xiao's sucking technique. In a flash, his whole body
was sucked powerless. There's no need to even talk about resisting.

When Ling Xiao lets go of his mouth, he takes a few deep breaths but is still unable to recover. His
face is as red as fully ripe persimmons. Smoke is even rising from the top of his head. He flops
weakly in Ling Xiao's arms.

Ling Xiao is afraid that he can't breathe. He strokes his back helping him to breathe smoothly, "Is it
getting a little better?"

You XiaoMo shivers. He uses one of his hands to grip his shoulder, helping him to climb up. He
glares at him with flames shooting out of both eyes, "Why would you kiss me on the lips?"

Ling Xiao smiles as he licks the corner of his mouth. Then he stretches out his finger and pokes his
lips saying regretfully, "Because it is delicious. I still haven't asked you ne. Is there honey on
your lips? They are so sweet that I can't bear to let go."

You XiaoMo sees his manner that seems to want to give him another kiss and quickly covers his
mouth. But when he hears his last words, he unconsciously sticks out his tongue and gives it a lick.
Bloody hell, it's actually all covered in saliva .......

You XiaoMo hastily wipes off the saliva on his lips. His lips quiver slightly when he speaks, "My
lips are not the least bit sweet. Maybe it's your own lips that are sweet."

Worried that he would use this excuse to kiss him again, You XiaoMo quickly places the cause
back on Ling Xiao's own body.

Ling Xiao looks at him, raising the corner his lips devilishly, "My lips are sweet? Why is it that I
can't tell? How about you try and see if they are sweet, help me confirm it?"

Although it sounds like he is asking, his actions are not the least bit hesitant. He immediately hugs
You XiaoMo who is trying to escape, and kisses him. This time, it is more intense than the last time
because there is now a resisting tongue. But there is also added interest as the more You XiaoMo
wants to hide, the more he wants to entangle them.

As if enlightened, You XiaoMo no longer resists and instead holds his breath. If you can do it, go
ahead and suck me dead!

More or less aware of his plan, Ling Xiao finally lets go of his lips. Still unsatisfied, he licks his
lips. It's really too bad. He still wanted to kiss a little longer.

You XiaoMo quivers in his arms wanting to climb out .......

Ling Xiao holds him down with his large hand, shocking him. Seeing that You XiaoMo is not
content, he quickly hugs him tightly around the waist, saying, "Ok, let's talk about serious matters.
Don't move or I'll execute you on the spot."

You XiaoMo finally stays completely still. But his whole face is black, bastard, what do you mean
execute on the spot?

He is man. He really is a man!

"You you you ....... you say it. What do you mean serious business?"

You XiaoMo is quivering as he speaks.

"Regarding the auction house. HePing town only has a small-time auction house. If you
really want to auction off magic pills and spiritual liquid, you can't do it in HePing town. You
have to find a slightly larger town. Those auction houses will be more regulated. Also there
won't be cheating and funny business. On top of that, the price will be higher."

Ling Xiao speaks with a satisfied expression.

"Really? Then which town is good? I don't know the way."

You XiaoMo is finally excited. In a flash he completely forgets about how he was messed around
with just a moment ago.

"Of course it's somewhere further. But to go to that town and come back, and adding the
auction time on top of that, it won't be done in a day. With your situation right now, you can
only leave for one day ba?"

Ling Xiao is not certain but it seems they can't go after all.

"Then how?"

You XiaoMo thinks about how he still has two opportunities to go down the mountain this month.
But each time he is only allowed one day. This is a rule that can't be moved even if struck by thunder.
Unless .......
"After passing the assessment in three months, as long as you get through it, after that, you
can go down the mountain for as long as you want."

Ling Xiao says with a serious expression.

You XiaoMo can't help feeling a little deflated. Looks like that is the only way!

"That's right, there is something else I have to warn you about."

Ling Xiao says suddenly. When You XiaoMo looks over, he continues, "The auction house in the
big town is of a higher grade than the ones in small towns like HePing town. The information
you got before regarding auctioning magic pills is probably not relevant. Level one magic pills,
no matter how high the grade, is unlikely to be accepted in those auction houses."

"Then wouldn't that just leave the spiritual liquid? So much trouble, wouldn't it be better to
just go to HePing town?"

You XiaoMo frowns.

Ling Xiao hugs him tight as he says, "It's not troublesome. The magic pills can't be auctioned
but they can still be sold to the medicine shops in town. Furthermore, didn't you want to find
level four to level six magic herb seeds? You can go ask about it in town."

"That's right oh."

Only then does You XiaoMo remember that there is still that matter.

Although HePing town has level four and above magic herb seeds, it's not much. Furthermore the
quality of the seeds is not very good. Some are even dried up because they have been stored for a
long time.

Level four to level six magic herbs require a relatively longer time to grow. On top of that, HePing
town is a small town so very few mages would go there to buy mid-level magic herb seeds. So the
magic herb seeds in the Orchid Pavilion, other than those from level one to level three, the rest have
been there for a very long time.

"So for now you should concentrate on preparing for the test in three months. Leave the
arrangements for the auction to me. When you pass the test, I will bring you there."

Ling Xiao uses his fingers to scratch both sides of You XiaoMo's cheeks, somewhat unwilling to let
go. He cherishes the time he spent with You XiaoMo at the Central lineage more and more. Living
together that time was so good. He could make a move whenever he wanted to.

"Alright!"

You XiaoMo suddenly feels a lot more relaxed.


"Oh, now that we've finished talking about serious business, how about we go for one more
round?"

Ling Xiao once again shows his indecent look, hooking up You XiaoMo's chin, wanting to plant a
kiss.

You XiaoMo raises his hand and gives him a slap .......

Ok, looks like level two of Heavenly Soul Scroll means you can refine level two pills! Sorry!
Chapter 91

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Level two magic pills.After Ling Xiao leaves, just like he said, Kong Wen sends someone over not
long after to ask him to go over.

Because You XiaoMo prepared himself mentally, he is ready. He tells Master that Uncle Ye
already agreed to test out Elder brother and Second brother and take them as apprentices if they pass
the test.

Two at one go. And they are his own disciples that he is most proud of. There is no need to mention
how delighted Kong Wen is in his heart. So he promises to grant You XiaoMo one request if Fang
ChenLe and Fu ZiLin pass Uncle Ye's test.

You XiaoMo curses endlessly in his heart but on the outside he appears deeply grateful. He had
already known long ago that Master wouldn't do something that would cost him, giving him a empty
check while making it seem as if it is the real thing. Still he must force out an extremely happy
expression. Of course it's not possible that he doesn't feel wronged.

But because of this, he now knows the true face of his Master. Maybe, in his heart, other than Elder
brother and Second brother, the other disciples are just there to make them shine in comparison. If not,
why has he never seen him take great pains for the other disciples?

You XiaoMo still remembers that ever since he entered the sect until now, Master never led him by
the hand and taught him anything. He feels that he isn't a person that holds grudges but he admits that
he is still a teeny bit petty. If it isn't because the people concerned are Elder brother and Second
brother, that little bit of pettiness would definitely not allow him to be so magnanimous.

But the reason why he can give way so completely is also because it also benefits him. Right now,
his days are very free and relaxed. He does what he wants. It wouldn't be the same in Yun Shui peak.
Over there, there are ten powerful Elders on guard. Under their watchful eyes, everything he does
will be under their surveillance. Would he dare to refine magic pills? Would he dare to enter the
dimension?

For others, it is a hundred advantages and not a single disadvantage, leading to a bright future. But
for him, going to Yun Shui peak means there is a high probability that his secret will be exposed.

Comparing these things, he would rather let go of this opportunity, so he can't agree to go there and
be Uncle Ye's apprentice. This is the real reason for his refusal. The rest is just like pushing a boat
along with the current.

After thinking it through, You XiaoMo is no longer hung up over Kong Wen's favoritism. Right now,
he can't wait to try and see if he can refine level two magic pills. If he can, the next time he goes
down the mountain, he can sell level two magic pills to earn money.
And so, less than two days after the last time, You XiaoMo goes into seclusion once again.

Not long after he entered into seclusion, Fang ChenLe comes to find him. He already learned of that
matter so he wants to thank him. Unexpectedly, he learns from the disciple next door that You XiaoMo
is in seclusion again, this time, he supposedly won't come out for ten days to half a month.

Fang ChenLe can't help but pout in great disappointment. This seclusion maniac. Even more
maniacal than ZiLin. Left with no choice, he can only let that disciple tell You XiaoMo that he came
to visit when You XiaoMo comes out from seclusion.

At the same time, the one in seclusion, You XiaoMo doesn't immediately start to refine magic pills.

After locking the door securely, he appears in the dimension. After a few days, the level two magic
pills in the dimension are already mature. Ten types of magic herbs appear to be thriving. In order to
differentiate the ten types of magic herbs, You XiaoMo purposely divided them into ten magic herb
fields. Just like the fields of peasants, each field has one type of magic herb. One hundred stalks of
each type. The magic herbs that he uses more, he sprinkles them with relatively more magic water. A
glorious profusion of colors, an extremely magnificent sight.

You XiaoMo takes a good look at everything. He finds that the way the magic herbs are growing is
quite alright. The magic herbs are bursting with spiritual power and energy. It's clear that there are
sufficient nutrients, nothing to do with the way they are grown. But a few days ago, he observed the
magic herbs that Uncle Ye grew in Yun Shui peak. He discovered that over there the magic herb fields
are distributed in circular formations of approximately the same size.

For example, in one magic herb field, there are rings from the middle spreading outwards in a
circular shape up to eight meters in diameter. With this type of arrangement, the magic herbs close to
the middle grow better. Almost all the magic herb fields are planted that way. Although he doesn't
know how this benefits the magic herbs, You XiaoMo feels that it has something to do with the
concentration of the spiritual energy inside the barrier of Yun Shui peak, giving rise to such an effect.
After making the comparison, You XiaoMo starts to dig up magic herbs.

Usually it takes six to eight hours to clear a huge magic herb field. But ever since his soul force
broke through level one, his ability to use the soul force also increased. This time, he only used one
hour to clear all the level two magic herbs, completely filling up the shelves marked for level two
magic herbs. The shelves he bought for this purpose are now all completely used up.

After picking out three types of level two magic herbs used to refine a certain magic pill, You
XiaoMo leaves the dimension leisurely.

On the table is the second cauldron he got from Uncle Zhao. Although it is of good quality, it can
only accept the soul force of a level two mage. If he wants to refine level three magic pills, he would
have to buy a better one.

You XiaoMo took a few types of magic herbs and placed them on the table. Then he chooses three
stalks. Today, he wants to refine a level two magic pill called Bitter magic pill. It is made up of three
magic herbs - bitter ginseng, slender stalk fragrant herb, and silkweed.

Bitter ginseng looks about the same as regular ginseng but the flavor of bitter ginseng is especially
bitter. So, a lot of people are unable to withstand the taste of bitter ginseng. Even if it is turned into a
magic pill, the bitter taste is not the least bit reduced. So slender stalk fragrant herb has to be added.

Slender stalk fragrant herb is just like its name. The flower stem gives out a very strong fragrance.
The flower stem also has a sweet taste that can neutralize the flavor of the bitter ginseng, enabling the
medicinal qualities to come into play.

Bitter magic pill is used to solidify the state of martial artists after a breakthrough. But it is only
effective for relatively low level martial artists. As for higher level martial artists, they have to take
other high level magic pills.

After throwing the three stalks of magic herbs into the cauldron, You XiaoMo starts to manipulate
his soul force into the cauldron to start the first round of distillation.

Level two magic herbs contain twice the energy of level one magic herbs. Just melting them takes
twice the amount of time needed for level one magic herbs. Then it's time to distill. Because level
two magic herbs is higher than level one magic herbs, the distillation difficulty is greater than for
level one magic herbs. On top of that, the magic herbs is from his dimension, of high quality, so it's
even more difficult to distill.

After fully concentrating and carrying out one round of distillation, You XiaoMo can't remove any
more impurities. Of course, not able to remove any more does not mean there are no more impurities
in the magic herbs. It just means he is not strong enough to take it further.

You XiaoMo does not feel discouraged. This situation is just like when he was refining level one
magic pills. As long as he goes slow and takes his time, there will come the day when he can do
better. Then he simply goes on to the final step, blending.

Blending goes relatively smoothly. It's not long before a level two magic pill comes out fresh from
the oven. Furthermore, it's a top grade magic pill.

You XiaoMo smiles at his own achievement. He takes it and puts it into a bottle and starts on the
second magic pill .......

After going into seclusion, You XiaoMo seems to be cut off from the outside world. He doesn't
know that after he went into seclusion, something big happened in Earth peak. Ye Han made an
exception and accepted Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin as apprentices. Furthermore, it's the both of them
together.

This matter shocked the whole of TianXin sect. In the end, Tang Fan couldn't take it any longer and
decided to go talk it over with Ye Han.

What Tang Fan wants is, since Ye Han is planning on taking on apprentices, his daughter is also a
mage, so he should also take her in. But Ye Han says that he already has enough people so he refuses
to accept Tang YunQi.

Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin are not the same as You XiaoMo. They have already entered TianXin
sect for many years and established a few connections in the mage division. Most importantly, the two
of them have already received the alchemical techniques meaning they are core disciples. Tang Fan
can't use the excuse he used against You XiaoMo to stop Ye Han from receiving them as apprentices.
But there's no way he would happily sit back and let Earth peak shine and take the upper hand.

In the end, Ye Han has no choice but to say that if Tang YunQi can pass the test, he will accept her
as an apprentice. But the dramatic thing is that not only did Tang YunQi not pass the test, she also
caused a big fuss.

Tang YunQi is a very arrogant person, always looking down at people of lower status than her. But
what Ye Han needs is someone that is careful and patient. She obviously lacks these qualities. She
fails to pass even the first hurdle and thus is thrown out after three strikes.

Although Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin are very different, they share one characteristic. That's being
careful and patient, especially when it comes to handling magic herbs. They are both very attentive.

Although Fu ZiLin appears to hate being a mage, his actions are very different from his appearance.
It gives off a mouth says yes but heart says no kind of feeling. Just like You XiaoMo said, Fu ZiLin is
a very awkward person. Ye Han definitely does not hate this kind of person.

So like this, Tang Fan has nothing left to say. His own daughter fails to live up to expectations so
who can he blame? People already gave her the chance. If you don't treasure the chance, it is your
own fault. It can't be blamed on others.

But Tang YunQi is not happy. She feels that Ye Han purposely made it difficult for her, so she
caused a fuss. Every two to three days, she and her gang of footmen gathered outside the barrier of
Yun Shui peak and yell loudly that Ye Han is biased, unfair, and so on.

Yun Shui peak is protected by a barrier. Even if Tang YunQi shouts louder, Ye Han wouldn't be
able to hear it.

But unluckily, that boy that came down the mountain twice to receive Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo
suddenly appeared outside the barrier. Tang YunQi just happened to see him and used the status of Ye
Han's assistant to ask him to lead the way. The boy ignores her so Tang YunQi flares up and threatens
him. According to witnesses, the boy then gives her a tight slap. Junior sister Tang's pretty face
immediately swells up into a pig's head. After that, she no longer dares to go out and so the whole
TianXin sect becomes peaceful again.

After Tang Fan found out about this he confined Tang YunQi for one month. After that, he personally
went to Yun Shui peak to apologize and admit fault to that boy. Only then does everyone find out that
the boy is actually one of the topmost Elders of TianXin sect.
Tang YunQi also for some reason whether it is too afraid or too ashamed to show her face, she is
not seen again for a few months after that.

The one that gets the most peace and quiet is none other than Ling Xiao. Finally he no longer has to
deal with that princess that comes to see him everyday. If not, he is really worried that some day he
wouldn't be able to take it any longer, causing him to wring her neck.

Again you are left to fill in what happened after the slap ;D
Chapter 92

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Awkward feelings.Time rushes by like flowing water .......

The one who was supposed to be in seclusion for ten days to half a month, You XiaoMo, under the
hopeful watch of certain people, finally comes out.

One must know that during these three months, Fang ChenLe came to his room off and on, and moan
and groan for a bit outside his door. The few disciples next door will rush out at that time to come
talk to him.

Fu ZiLin also came around. This Second brother is more brusque and direct. He goes right up to
You XiaoMo's door, glares at it, lets out a burst of cold air and then leaves. It is said that the
neighboring disciples stayed inside the whole day then.

Ling Xiao also came over but he only came one time .......

"Little brother, if all the disciples of TianXin sect are like you, TianXin sect wouldn't need to
worry about becoming stronger ya!"

Ling Xiao smiles as he hugs the collapsing You XiaoMo, really warm and gentle like jade.

You XiaoMo looks jumpy, looking guiltily to the door that had been kicked open. Because a certain
someone used too much force, one of the doors was sent flying, now lying pitifully all alone on the
floor.

That's right, Ling Xiao's 'one time' refers to this one time.

This fellow is even more direct than Fu ZiLin, lifting up his foot and kicking down the door that
had been closed tightly for three months. *Peng* rings out loudly, frightening the neighbors. But no
one dares to come out. Each visitor freakier than the other, it would be strange if they dared to come
out.

After Ling Xiao barged in, he saw You XiaoMo collapsing backwards, making him jump in fright.
He ran over to catch him and found out that it's because he used up his soul force. Because he didn't
manage to drink magic water in time, he lost the strength to remain standing.

Ling Xiao is so angry that his teeth start to itch, dying to take a bite of his face.

"This time, this time it is not intentional. Actually ....... I also didn't think it would be so long
....... "

You XiaoMo explains somewhat lacking in confidence.


"Not intentional?"

Ling Xiao raises his brows, "When was it ever intentional?"

"I ....... "

You XiaoMo wants to disagree, this is the only time it was accidental ok? But looking at Ling
Xiao's expression, he feels that it is better not to say it. If he makes him angry, that would give Ling
Xiao another hold on him, so he changes the topic.

"How come you're here? Have you sorted out the things regarding the auction?"

Speaking about matters regarding the auction, his eyes also light up.

The corner of Ling Xiao's eye twitches. He narrows his eyes darkly, "You XiaoMo, could have
forgotten about the assessment in a few days time?"

You XiaoMo's face stiffens. He really did forget about it!

With one look at his face, Ling Xiao knows that he guessed correctly. He snorts and raises his chin
saying, "If I didn't kick down your door in time, you most probably would continue on cluelessly
for one or two months. Tell me, how are you going to thank me?"

You XiaoMo wants to pound on the ground. He tried to be on guard over here and over there but
now he still owes him a favor. But kicking down other people's door yet speaking so boldly with
justification, this is the first he comes across someone like this.

In the end, You XiaoMo promises to fulfill a few conditions before Ling Xiao lets him go.

Knowing that he probably has no clue about what happened outside these three months, Ling Xiao
tells him the major things that happened. The matter regarding Tang YunQi happened three months
ago. Although very few people talk about it these days, Ling Xiao still tells him the gist of it.

After listening to it all, You XiaoMo covers his cheeks thanking his lucky stars. Thankful that he
himself didn't mouth off at that time.

The other matter has to do with the demons.

Because Ling Xiao exposed the identity of the demon Luo Shan, the spies in the other sects were
also rooted out. After the secret agents were killed, the demons suffered a huge loss. One of their
commanders was shamed into anger. He put together a group that disguised themselves as humans and
made a surprise attack on human mystics. Although the move was very despicable, the number of
human mystics that died by their hand is really not just a few. Among them was an Elder from
ChongShan sect.

ChongShan sect's size is not like TianXin sect and QingCheng sect but their strength can't be
underestimated. The number of strong hands in that sect is already not like QingCheng sect and
TianXin sect. Now with one dead, their power is diminished, throwing the whole ChongShan sect
into chaos.

QingCheng sect also has a blood feud with demons making them enemies that can't live under the
same sky. So the two sects decide to join forces against the demons. But before they move against the
demons, they are determined to pull TianXin sect along.

TianXin sect as the number one sect can't shirk this responsibility. Tang Fan discussed with the
Elders and finally decides to send Ling Xiao over.

Ling Xiao is the Grand disciple of the warrior division. For one, his strength is outstanding. Two,
he can use this opportunity to raise the prestige of TianXin sect. Most importantly, Tang Fan got the
news that QingCheng sect's Luo ShuHe will personally show his face for this attack to wipe out the
demons.

And so, this is the real reason why Ling Xiao did not come to find You XiaoMo these three months.

The attack wasn't successful. The demon commander received news about it so he removed his
subordinates in advance. So in the end, the combined three sects only managed to catch a few shrimp
soldiers and crab generals. The rest all managed to get away.

Everyone set out in high spirits but returned disappointed.

But because of this attack, all the big sects finally got to know Luo ShuHe's strength. Because the
one that outwitted the few shrimp soldiers and crab generals was him. If not for him, they probably
wouldn't even be able to get any shrimp soldiers and crab generals. This campaign formally
confirmed Luo ShuHe's standing as an outstanding talent.

As for Ling Xiao, during this campaign, his performance was so so.

After coming back, Tang Fan actually called him over to talk for a day. The contents are unknown
except to themselves.

You XiaoMo can guess why Ling Xiao didn't go all out. Most probably it's because he didn't want
to expose himself. But it is also possible that he just didn't feel like helping. For someone that can
easily beat the strong Elder Jiang dead in one strike, he doesn't believe that he can't catch a single
demon.

"Elder brother Ling, is that Luo ShuHe really that powerful?"

You XiaoMo asks full of curiosity.

Ling Xiao looks at him from the corner of his eye, "Why do you want to know?"

You XiaoMo quickly shakes his head, "I'm only curious. According to what you said, he gained
a lot of attention during that campaign. Everyone would definitely praise him. But, some
narrow-minded people ah, they would definitely compare you to him, belittling you to raise up
Luo ShuHe. It's usually like that."

Ling Xiao laughs in amusement at his phrase 'narrow-minded'.

"Little brother, if Luo ShuHe has to depend on belittling others to raise himself up and make
a name for himself, then the people that boost him higher would only cause him to fall harder.
In this world, people with such good hearts don't exist. Even if they did, it won't be that group of
fools."

Ling Xiao's voice is very languid and somewhat hypnotizing. Neither hurried nor slow. Neither
cold nor warm. Gentle and indolent yet making it hard for others to understand. He is clearly speaking
words of condemnation yet he is speaking as if he is reciting poetry.

You XiaoMo pouts exaggeratedly. This person is actually condemning people in such an elegant
way, "But your reputation was really harmed, was it not?"

Although he didn't hear it with his own ears, he can imagine what those people said. It must have
been some hurtful words.

"Me?"

Ling Xiao smiles devilishly, beaming as he says, "Little brother. Are you sure that it is my
reputation that suffered?"

You XiaoMo's mouth hangs open and he is tongue-tied. Of course. This person is pretending to be
Lin Xiao. Yet, he has never taken anything regarding Lin Xiao seriously. If it continues going this way,
all that Lin Xiao worked for would be completely lost.

You XiaoMo mourns silently for Lin Xiao for three seconds.

"Alright, you should also prepare yourself. The assessment is in three days. At that time, it
won't just be Earth peak disciples. The Heaven peak and Flying peak disciples that entered half
a year ago will also be taking part. There will be quite a lot of people. You have to prepare
yourself mentally to avoid making me lose face when the time comes."

Ling Xiao stands up and pats his shoulder speaking earnestly.

You XiamoMo immediately glares at him. What do you mean let you lose face? Whether or not I
lose face has nothing to do with you!

Of course, he only dares to roar these words in his heart.

After talking for over two hours, Ling Xiao conveniently takes two bottles of magic pills with him
as he leaves. They are all level two magic pills. In seclusion for three months, You XiaoMo refined a
lot of magic pills. He refined an extra two bottles in addition to those for auction. There are still quite
a lot left.
After he leaves, You XiaoMo picks up a few bottles of level one magic pills that he already refined
and heads to the Hall of Enchanted Herbs.

Before he went into seclusion, he frequently went to the Hall of Enchanted Herbs to pick up
thousand over level one magic herbs. Although he now has magic herbs from his dimension, if he
doesn't go to pick up magic herbs from the Hall of Enchanted Herbs, it would easily raise the
suspicions of others.

Just when he is about to enter the Hall of Enchanted Herbs, You XiaoMo runs into the one that
always appears and disappears mysteriously, Fu ZiLin.

When he sees him, You XiaoMo remembers what the neighboring disciple told him. Supposedly
this Second brother came to look for him and let out a burst of cold air. Imagining that scene, he can't
bring himself to smile. Seeing him now, that feeling becomes even more intense.

"Second brother. Is there something you need?"

You XiaoMo blinks while looking at the expressionless Fu ZiLin walking up to him.

Fu ZiLin stares at him for a good while before saying, "I owe you one."

He then leaves.

You XiaoMo thinks that this Second brother is really awkward. But so adorably awkward!

Walking into the Hall of Enchanted Herbs, You XiaoMo immediately walks up to Uncle Zhao at the
counter, "Uncle Zhao, here are two hundred magic pills. Give them a count. They are all here."

Uncle Zhao takes them and puts them away without so much as a second look. He raises his pen
and says, "Four hundred magic pills in three months. This number is rather little compared to
what you refined before. Do you want to take more magic herbs?"

"Yes. But this time I want to take level two magic herbs."

You XiaoMo speaks with a little embarrassment. After all, he can't say that he has his own magic
herbs ba.

Uncle Zhao finally looks up in surprise.

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Master of magic herb cultivation."You're already a level two mage?"

Uncle Zhao asks in surprise.

"Right now I want to take some level two magic herbs and try it out. The assessment is in
three days. I'm afraid I won't make it in time."

You XiaoMo tells a lie without looking away.

This is something he is forced to do. Everyone knows that he is now only a level one mage. If he
suddenly becomes a level two mage three days later during the assessment, with no rhyme or reason,
it would definitely make people suspect him.

So he must start to refine level two magic pills now. Then three days later it will be perfectly
justifiable. If he passes the test, he can chalk it up to good luck, coincidence, and the like.

Uncle Zhao knows about this matter. Actually, he already thought about this before.

He was one of the first to come into contact with You XiaoMo. He also knows that this young man
has always been very diligent so he hopes in his heart that he will be able to pass the test. Otherwise,
not only will he lose face, Earth peak will also be embarrassed.

But it has been half a year and he has not seen him take level two magic herbs. A few days ago, he
heard that he went into seclusion. So he is puzzled. Can staying in seclusion make someone able to
refine level two magic pills? And then, a few days later, he comes out of seclusion and runs here to
him asking for level two magic herbs.

"Your Elder brother must have told you that level two magic herbs is not the same as level one
magic herbs. You can't just take whatever you want."

Zhao Zhen speaks in a businesslike manner. Regarding these things, he doesn't even make
exceptions for his own son, Zhao DaZhou. But he will do his best to fulfill his duty as a father, that is
to give him a chance to go fight for it. Although his son is sometimes lacking, he has never
disappointed him before.

"Yes, Elder brother said that only a certain amount can be taken each day."

You XiaoMo replies immediately, nodding as he speaks.

Zhao Zhen continues speaking, "Let me explain it to you now. It takes a longer time to grow
level two magic herbs compared to level one magic herbs. They are also not as easy to grow as
level one magic herbs. So the harvest is relatively less, hence the need for limits. This bit can't
be avoided by anyone. During their time, it was also the same for your Elder brother and Second
brother. Since you are now a level two mage, you can now take take enough for ten magic pills
each day. If you think it's too little, you can only go fight for yourself."

You XiaoMo thinks it over, and says, "Uncle Zhao, can I take the amount for one month?"

"Of course. But if you take the whole amount for one month now, the next time can only be
one month later. You can only take one month in advance, nothing more. Also the rules for level
two magic pills is the same as for level one magic pills. You have to hand in half."

Uncle Zhao says.

"I understand. Thank you Uncle Zhao."

You XiaoMo says happily.

"How much do you want now?"

Zhao Zhen sees that he truly understands so he doesn't explain any further.

"One month's worth. I want to make fifteen types of magic pills."

You XiaoMo speaks without any hesitation, just like he did before with the level one magic herbs.

Zhao Zhen also doesn't feel that it is strange, immediately allocating one month's worth for him.

Ten magic pills a day is thirty stalks of magic herbs. So a month will be nine hundred stalks of
magic herbs. This quantity if you compare it to level one magic herbs is nothing much but if you add it
up for multiple disciples, it amounts to one small fortune.

You XiaoMo got the nine hundred stalks of magic herbs easily and goes back directly to his room.

Returning to the room, he takes out a few stalks of magic herbs to take a look. Of course it's just
like he thought. They are all low grade magic herbs mostly of low quality. Only this kind of magic
herbs will given out to the disciples to use freely. Otherwise, this amount each month, TianXin sect
will sooner or later be driven to poverty.

You XiaoMo suddenly feels sympathy for TianXin sect. In actual fact, it's not easy being TianXin
sect. So many disciples to nurture, it's no wonder that they formed a business division to earn money.

Three days of time. Not long yet not short.

But this time You XiaoMo doesn't lock himself in his room and refine magic pills. Instead, he goes
to find Fang ChenLe.

Although this road of a mage seems to be something he figured out from reading books and
fumbling around, no matter how talented, it's still not something that can be done on one's own. So he
decides to go to Elder brother and dig up some information. At the least, he has to keep up
appearances. On top of that, the brother next door told him that Elder brother asked him to go look for
him when he came out of seclusion.

Fang ChenLe is extremely happy that Little brother is here to see him. If it wasn't because this is a
busy time, he would have gone to look for him again.

"Little brother, you're finally willing to come out of seclusion. You really kept Elder brother
waiting."

Fang ChenLe walks up to You XiaoMo and can't help rubbing his head. He is already used to his
full of life appearance and rosy cheeks. After all, everyone is a little different from others.

You XiaoMo knows that Elder brother has a lot of things that he wants to tell him so he simply
says, "Elder brother, I have something to tell you."

"Looking at your expression, it must be something good. Can it be that you are already a level
two mage?"

Fang ChenLe looks at him seriously, making a rough guess.

You XiaoMo stares at him in surprise, "How did you know?"

He hasn't said anything!

Fang ChenLe looks at his shocked expression and smiles warmly, "I just met your Second
brother. He told me that you have come out of seclusion. Your assessment is in three days. Now
looking at your very happy manner, I'm guessing that must be the reason."

This Elder brother is really smart. You XiaoMo sighs in his heart. He feels that everyone around
him is not someone to be trifled with. Each one is not as they seem on the outside, like how still
waters run deep.

Can it be that the reality is, he is too stupid so in comparison other people seem especially smart?

In order to thank You XiaoMo for ceding the opportunity to him, Fang ChenLe answers his
questions in detail. Especially since he knows that he just became a level two mage and with the
assessment three days later, he tells him all the necessary things that level two mages should focus on.
Finally he tells him that if he doesn't have enough magic herbs, he can get some from him."

Although he knows that Elder brother has a magic herb field, You XiaoMo doesn't plan on using his
magic herbs. He grows magic herbs himself so he knows how hard it is to grow magic herbs.

But Elder brother's manner is very firm so You XiaoMo can't refuse and so pretends to agree.
After this, You XiaoMo spends the whole morning interacting with Fang ChenLe.

Fang ChenLe, as a level four mage is much more knowledgable than You XiaoMo. Also he has
plenty of experience. Sometimes with just a few words he clears up matters that perplex You
XiaoMo. Such as using the soul force.

Before, he was completely didn't understand why the soul force can easily melt the ice sculptures
made out of condensed spiritual energy. Now he understands.

A very long time a go, an Elder said that the soul of a mage is like a sea that receives a hundred
rivers, just like a person's tolerance. The soul can sense the spiritual energy on heaven and earth, and
by absorbing pure spiritual energy, the soul can put it to use. Since the ice sculptures in the ice cave is
made up of condensed spiritual energy, the soul force emanating from the soul can naturally cut or
melt it.

On top of that, the purer the soul force of the mage, the higher the affinity with magic herbs. So the
quality of the magic herbs cultivated will also be better. It must be said that magic herbs are mostly
spiritual entities.

Of course, this is what everyone knows. Only an outsider like You XiaoMo would be completely
clueless. In other words, the purer the soul, the better.

One conversation later, the benefits You XiaoMo receives is not little, much more than he would
have gotten from reading on his own.

Now he knows why Uncle Ye is the best mage in TianXin sect when it comes to cultivating magic
herbs. That's because his soul is pure. Furthermore, he is very clear on good vs. evil and has very
little desire for material gains. This type of person is indeed very suited to cultivating magic herbs.

"Little brother, you must remember one point. The higher the level of a mage doesn't mean
that the soul will be purer. This has to do with the heart of the mage. If one can put one's heart
at peace, not worrying about gains and losses, not caring about fame and wealth, then that
person will be the best choice for cultivating magic herbs. Even if that person is a level one
mage, he has a high chance of becoming an outstanding master of cultivating magic herbs."

Fang ChenLe says with a look of longing.

A Master of magic herb cultivation is another profession that is available to mages. One with a
bright future at that.

It must be said that on this continent, to find a mage that is really able to grow high quality magic
herbs, it is possible that one can't even be found in every ten thousand people. On top of that, most
mages are concentrated on raising their ability in refining magic pills so it's even harder to find. But
difficult to find doesn't mean this type of person doesn't exist.

Some mages, because of low innate talent, they have no way of becoming high level mages in this
lifetime. So most of them would choose to become magic herb cultivators. LongXiao continent does
not lack this kind of talent. But someone that is outstanding in both refining magic pills and cultivating
magic herbs, like Uncle Ye who is both a high level mage and a high level magic herb cultivator, the
are considered a rare once in a century talent.

Fang ChenLe has a secret that is only knows to Fu ZiLin. His goal is actually not to be like Master,
but Uncle Ye Han.

He wants to be just like Uncle Ye Han. Become a high level mage as well as a high level magic
herb cultivator. He has always been working hard toward this goal. In a moment of excitement, Fang
ChenLe tells this secret to You XiaoMo and tells him to keep it a secret, especially from Master.
Seeing that Fang ChenLe shares such an important secret with him, You XiaoMo immediately agrees
to keep the secret secure.

After taking leave from Fang ChenLe, You XiaoMo goes back to his room.

His heart is in a constant state of excitement. A high level mage as well as a high level magic herb
cultivator. That is such a mighty dream!

He also wants to be like Elder brother and pursue a mighty dream. But when he thinks about his
innate talent, he feels that there is no hope for him to be a high level mage. But after talking with Elder
brother, another door opens up for him.

That is to become a Master of magic herb cultivation!

He feels that since he can't become a high level mage, then becoming a high level magic herb
cultivator is not a bad choice. Just like they say, 'There are three hundred and sixty walks of life. Each
one produces its own number one scholar'. He only has to be willing to work hard!

Chapter 94

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Assessment (I)After that, You XiaoMo used two days to try refining thirty magic pills.

Although the quality of the magic herbs is very low, it is not completely of no use to You XiaoMo.
Because of the low quality, the magic herbs contain quite a bit of impurities. You XiaoMo makes use
of this point to practice his ability to distill level two magic herbs.

After two days of experimenting, he figures out that he can at most distill the magic herbs three to
four times. This number is already considered very high for other mages because ordinary mages can
only distill level two magic herbs one to two times, and not any more than that. On top of that, the
quality of the magic herbs is not high so the resulting magic pills can only be described as 'poor'.
Furthermore, the risk remains as high as thirty five percent.

But after several rounds of distillation, You XiaoMo is able to reduce the risk of level two magic
pills. He reduced the risk of low grade level two magic pills to fifteen percent. Although it still can't
compare to the high grade magic pills he refined before, but for low grade magic pills, it is
considered pretty good. Some people are too poor to buy a single high grade magic pill even after
saving up for it their whole lives.

After sighing with emotion, You XiaoMo no longer hides in his room refining magic pills. For the
remaining day, he starts to learn to interact with his neighboring disciples, gaining a lot of useful
information from them.

Because the assessment is tomorrow, the disciples that came in half a year ago like him are all very
nervous because tomorrow's assessment will affect their future. It's not possible for them not to be
nervous.

You XiaoMo is already a level two mage so he is not worried. It's just that he finds it unexpected
that all three peaks will be undergoing the assessment together.

"Elder brother Chen, why do the three peaks hold the assessment together?"

You XiaoMo asks a Big brother who speaks frankly and confidently.

Brother Chen turns around and sees that You XiaoMo is the one that asked the question. He actually
doesn't want to answer him but seeing that the surrounding brothers are all looking at him wide-eyed,
he feels that it's not good if he doesn't answer, "This rule was put in place by the founder of our
Mage division to promote interaction and friendship among the three major peaks. But with the
passing of time, this assessment lost it's original intention and turned into a big contest between
the three major peaks."

This Brother Chen was the one that went to the Stone room together with You XiaoMo at that time
to train the soul force. The one that was sent flying after he accidentally caused his cauldron to
explode.

At that time he was embarrassed by You XiaoMo's instant success. Then, when You XiaoMo was
praised by Fifth brother, his heart became even more unhappy with You XiaoMo. And when he found
out that he was accepted by Kong Wen as a disciple, his heart became even more dissatisfied.

But after that, he rarely saw You XiaoMo again. Now seeing him once more, his heart is still a
little unhappy but he no longer shows it on his face.

"Brother Chen, according to what you said, if we do badly, wouldn't that mean we would lose
face in front of everyone?"

You XiaoMo becomes aware of the conflict between the three major peaks for the first time. If it
continues going on like this, the relationship between Earth peak and Heaven peak would reach an
extent where they can no longer reconcile their differences, very disadvantageous for the inner
workings of TianXin sect.

"That's for sure. Especially for you Brother You. You are Kong Wen's direct disciple. If you
were to lose face in front of everyone, the result would be unimaginable!"

When Brother Chen speaks about You XiaoMo, there is an added faint gloating at his misfortune.

"Thank you for your concern. I will try my best."

You XiaoMo smiles as he answers.

Who is concerned about you? Brother Chen snorts *qi*.

Although he got the information that he wanted, You XiaoMo doesn't leave immediately, hanging
around with everyone for a bit.

In the evening, a disciple comes over to inform You XiaoMo that the assessment tomorrow will be
held in the morning during the Si period. Everyone is to assemble at the Hall of Enchanted Herbs
before the Si period.

After sending the disciple off, You XiaoMo closes the door and goes to sleep. He doesn't seize this
time to refine magic pills. After all, nothing much can be done in a night. Also, it has already been a
long time since he had a good rest.

Ling Xiao didn't come to find him that night. Maybe he is busy so You XiaoMo doesn't see him
even after he woke up and went to the assembly point.

This time the one that leads them to the assessment is Kong Wen.

Although the disciples undergoing to assessment are those that entered the sect about half a year
ago, adding them up, it still amounts to a considerable number. And they are all the future lifeblood of
the three major peaks so Kong Wen attaches great importance to this matter.

Their destination is the Hall of Mages.

The Hall of Mages is the most peculiar looking building in TianXin sect. Its outer shape is that of a
black cauldron, making it look very distinctive. There are two powerful stone guardian lions flanking
the entrance. Their eyeballs are carved out of red jade that seem to give of rays that can see through a
person's heart. Just one look and you wouldn't dare to look at them again.

An inscribed dark red sandalwood plaque hangs on top of the building. On it is inscribed clearly
'Hall of Mages'. Three large and simple characters written with forceful strokes, clearly the work of a
great Master.

Kong Wen says a few words to the two guards standing outside the Hall of Mages before leading
them inside.

You XiaoMo follows behind everyone. He looks up at the plaque of the Hall of Mages and feels
that it is very majestic. Then he looks in all directions but doesn't see anyone from Heaven peak or
Flying peak. Maybe they haven't arrived or they could already be inside.

Walking into the Hall of Mages, a slight medicinal fragrance immediately floods the nose, instantly
lifting spirits and easing minds.

The main hall is very spacious roughly able to hold more than five hundred people. From the
outside one can't actually tell that it is so wide, making it suddenly feel bright and open. There are
groups of people standing inside chatting in groups of two to three. Most of them are very young,
some not even older than fifteen.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, they look towards the entrance. Seeing Kong Wen at the lead,
everyone's questioning eyes immediately change to looks of respect.

Although Kong Wen is from Earth peak, no matter how you look at it, he is still a high level mage
and also their senior. Even if they look down on the disciples of Earth peak, they still don't dare to
show any inkling of that in front of him.

You XiaoMo doesn't recognize the people inside but the disciples around him do.

Upon seeing them, the happy chatting voices quiet down. Their faces also look rather unhappy. You
XiaoMo guesses immediately that these disciples are most probably from Heaven peak.

A middle-aged man sporting a black beard steps out from the crowd. Kong Wen turns around and
tells the disciples to wait for him where they are before walking up to that man.

You XiaoMo finally recognizes that person. He is Mo Gu, the Heaven peak elder he met when he
went down the mountain the first time. A level five mage.

"Brother Kong, why are you bringing them over personally this time? Where is Brother
Xiao?"

Mo Gu cups his hands as he bows towards Kong Wen. His seniority is lower than Kong Wen so it
is only right that he bows.

Kong Wen nods his head slightly, "He had something to do so it's up to me to bring them this
time. It's almost time to start. Flying peak is not here yet?"

Brother Xiao is one of the Elders that was there when You XiaoMo faced the 'combined judgement
of three courts'. Before he was always the one that led the disciples over for the assessment. So Mo
Gu is a little surprised that it is Kong Wen this time.

Just as he says these words, sounds of footsteps can be heard coming from the entrance.

Kong Wen and Mo Gu look over at the same time. The person leading the way is the master of
Flying peak, Zhou Yu. He has a mottled grayish white beard with a kindly face, looking very much
like a friendly and benign person. Like Kong Wen, he is also a high level mage with considerable
prestige but is especially low profile. This is one of the reasons why he is always the peacemaker
when conflicts arise between Heaven peak and Earth peak.

Because of his low profile, some people would sometimes forget about his existence. Not only
that, the disciples of Flying peak are also just as low key.

As for coming just in time, Zhou Yu apologizes very politely. Kong Wen treats him indifferently
while Mo Gu says a few flattering words.

Zhou Yu strokes his beloved beard with the same slight smile on his face. A smile that is just right,
so as to not be irritating. It shows that he really has the ability to act as a peacemaker.

"It's time. Gather up the disciples ba. Then the testing will commence."

Kong Wen says these words to the two of them then turns to walk back to his own disciples.

Zhou Yu and Mo Gu return to their own disciples wordlessly, and start to make arrangements for
the assessment.

This assessment is for the disciples that TianXin sect took in half a year ago. Some are already
formal disciples while some are still probationary disciples. Although the status is different, the
assessment is still the same. Of course there are also a few people that entered a few days earlier or
later.

Kong Wen calls his disciples up to him. He didn't ask You XiaoMo to stand in front of him just
because he is his direct disciple. After instructing them on things they should pay attention to during
the assessment, he starts to arrange them in order.

In order to prevent chaos, each disciple from each peak is given a tablet. A number is carved on
each tablet. During the assessment, the disciples will go up according to the numbers called.
Earth peak has a total of twenty four disciples. This number is a little less than the year before but
it's still consistent with the average. Heaven peak and Flying peak also have twenty four each, but
their quality is clearly better than Earth peak.

You XiaoMo receives a yellow tablet that has the number seven on it.

He glances over to Heaven peak and Earth peak. They have red and green tablets respectively.
Clearly it's to distinguish the disciples.

The one presiding over the assessment is a Senior from the Hall of Mages. Seeing that everyone
has gotten a tablet, the Senior announces the start of the assessment. With these words the floor
suddenly shakes and nine stone platforms immediately rise from under the floor.

Note:Si period - 09:00-11:00

Chapter 96

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Magic pill evaluation.Hearing these words, everyone looks over to him in surprise.

Tang YunQi who wanted to see him make a fool of himself frowns deeply. She looks darkly at the
cauldron in front of him, her eyes burning with rage. The fists hanging at her side are clenched so
tightly that they turn bright red clearly showing how much force she is using.

That Senior raises his brow slightly and walks over asking calmly, "Where is the damage?"

You XiaoMo turns the cauldron over. There are criss-crossed cracks on the bottom. At first it was
only one crack. But because of his actions while refining the magic pill, the crack couldn't withstand
it, causing it to widen.

The Elder frowns and without a word, gets someone to replace the cauldron. The first portion of
magic herbs is ruined just because of the issue with the cauldron. But he doesn't give him another
portion.

After receiving the cauldron from that young man that distributed the magic herbs earlier, You
XiaoMo deliberately examines it in front of him. After making sure that there are no cracks on the
bottom, You XiaoMo feels more at ease. He doesn't want to discover the same thing again after
having started refining. After all, he only has one portion of materials left. If doesn't make it this time,
that would mean he would have really failed the assessment.

The young man lowers his head as if he doesn't notice his actions. When he walks by the Senior, his
steps falter a bit. By the time he gets back to his original position, his eyes seem red.

You XiaoMo lets out a light sigh. Actually, he himself doesn't want to be too fussy. But this time,
the situation is beyond his control. If the cauldron were to really explode, it might affect the two
disciples at his side. If they were Heaven peak disciples, he wouldn't feel bad. Just blame it on their
bad luck. But one of them is an Earth peak disciple. He is not the Virgin Mary, so he isn't that kind-
hearted. But, if he were to cause this disciple to fail the assessment, he can guarantee that after that he
would be drowned to death by the saliva from everyone's condemnation. That disciple would also put
the blame on him. This is not what he wants to shoulder so he chooses to give up halfway.

Because of this matter, there is less than half of the fine sand remaining.

You XiaoMo takes one sweeping look at the other cauldrons. A lot of them have already started the
final blending step.

Throwing in the final portion of materials into the cauldron, You XiaoMo starts to concentrate once
again. Several hundred pairs of eyes are thrown to the back of his head and ignored. The only things
that remain are the magic herbs in the cauldron. One half of the time left means fifteen minutes. This
duration of time may seem tight for others but You XiaoMo is not the least bit anxious.

After talking with Elder brother, his understanding of the soul force has reached another level. At
first, he thought that the soul force can be released from any part of the body. Now he knows that that
is a misconception. Only beginners would think that way. The true soul force should be released from
the ten fingers. Only this way will it not be wasted. On top of that, others will not be able to discern
your exact condition when done this way. That's because some high level master mages will only
need to take one look at your soul force and figure out your strength. So hiding one's own strength is
also something that mages need to learn.

After settling his thoughts, You XiaoMo uses his soul force to dissolve the three stalks of magic
herbs into liquid. Then he slowly distills the three pools of liquid. After a while, some impurities fall
off into the dark depths at the bottom of the cauldron. Then he starts the second round of distillation
.......

He is full of concentration throughout the whole process. Other people can tell than he is distilling
the magic herbs but they can't see what is really happening in the cauldron.

After the first disciple successfully refines a magic pill, the second one and third one follow.
Luckily, one among them is actually the disciple standing next to You XiaoMo, from the same peak,
who can hardly hide the joy on his face. The Earth peak disciples behind him also feel very happy
seeing this. Even Kong Wen's serious face softens a little. This is the fourth Earth peak disciple to
pass the test because four had failed during the previous two rounds.

Soon after this disciple's success, the other disciple seems to be spurred on and with one eighth of
the time remaining, he finally succeeds in refining a magic pill with the second portion of the
materials.

At this time, with the time limit fast approaching, only two people are still refining magic pills
among the nine stone platforms.

One of them is You XiaoMo. The other, surprisingly, is actually Heaven peak's Jiang Liu. He is
standing at the first platform, separated by five platforms from You XiaoMo. The two of them seem to
be at the blending step. With the time limit fast approaching, they both appear calm and composed.

But the Heaven peak and Earth peak disciples all appear very agitated.

For the Heaven peak people, Jiang Liu is their most outstanding new disciple. If he fails, Heaven
peak will lose face.

For the Earth peak people, You XiaoMo is a disciple of the Master of the peak. As a formal
disciple, if he fails, Kong Wen and Earth peak will lose face.

Zhou Peng feels that he has never felt this nervous before. He wasn't even this nervous when he
faced Lei Ju on stage and this is all because of You XiaoMo who is in the middle of refining a magic
pill, "Elder brother, the time is almost up. Why is your Little brother still not done ah?"
"It's not you who is refining the magic pill. Why are you so anxious?"

Ling Xiao looks at You XiaoMo expressionlessly.

"I'm feeling anxious on your behalf ma. After all he is your Little brother. If it's someone
else, I wouldn't care."

Zhou Peng feels himself getting so anxious that he is going round in circles. And Elder brother is
actually showing no expression at all, feeling really like 'Emperor is not worried but his eunuchs are
worried to death' type of situation.

The reality is, Zhou Peng doesn't really understand Ling Xiao.

If You XiaoMo were to see Ling Xiao right now, he would be able to tell that he is not in a good
mood.

"Ha! Brother Jiang Liu has succeeded!"

A joyful shout comes from the Heaven peak group. Seeing that the shout is coming from the Heaven
peak side, Ling Xiao can't help but frown.

At this time, Jiang Liu who is standing at the first stone platform is smiling proudly. In his hand is
an impressive magic pill. The magic pill is light blue in color but it is a shade darker than light blue.
Compared to the magic pills from the other disciples, it is clearly a little better. No wonder he is
smiling so brilliantly.

The happier the people from Heaven peak, the more unsightly the faces of the people from Earth
peak. Looking at the glowing faces of the people from Heaven peak, the faces of the Earth peak
disciples get darker and darker, moving their line of sight to You XiaoMo.

At this time, the amount of fine sand remaining in the hourglass is not much.

Ling Xiao's tight expression suddenly relaxes when he sees You XiaoMo's shoulders raise a little.
His lips slowly curve up a little while Zhou Peng at his side is still anxious to the point of death.

"Time's up!"

The Senior's roaring voice suddenly rings out.

At the same time, a light red magic pill flies out of the cauldron. You XiaoMo hastily stretches out
his hand to catch it.

The hearts of the Earth peak disciples that were suspended in mid air suddenly fall back down.
Really scaring them to death. They thought that You XiaoMo wouldn't make it in time. Luckily he
managed to catch up.

"Damn it!"
Tang YunQi gloomily bites her lower lip, finding it hard to conceal the sinister gleam in her eyes.
She glares hatefully You XiaoMo who is holding a light red magic pill. She designed those two plans
specifically and they both actually failed.

The two people at her side look at each other in dismay. Unable to come up with any words of
comfort, they can only pray that You XiaoMo refined a dead magic pill.

Jiang Liu walks up to You XiaoMo, his somewhat childish face showing a brilliant smile, Big
brother You, congratulations ya!"

You XiaoMo was looking absorbedly at the magic pill in his hand. Suddenly hearing these words,
he looks over in surprise. Only then does he find out that it is actually his fellow villager Jiang Liu.
Ever since the competition at Central peak, he has not seen him again. He didn't expect that he would
be in the same round.

You XiaoMo sees the magic pill in his hand and smiles saying, "Younger brother Jiang. I too
have to congratulate you. Looks like you have passed the test."

Jiang Liu playfully sticks out his tongue, saying happily, "Big brother You. This words must wait
until after the magic pill evaluation. I would be even happier if you say it to me then ba."

Even though he says those words, the joy in his words is very obvious.

Because it is only them that have yet to have their magic pills evaluated, the both of them walk up
together to the Senior. Jiang Liu is the first to hand over his magic pill respectfully to the Senior. The
light blue magic pill rolls in his hand giving out a light medicinal fragrance.

The Senior is a level six mage. Although his power is not as high as Kong Wen and his peers, but
his ability in evaluating magic pills is higher than theirs. So as long the magic pill evaluation is done
by him, no one would question the result.

Everyone sees him take the magic pill from Jiang Liu and those eyes that look muddy but are
actually very shrewd, look fixedly at the magic pill for a bit. Then with some satisfaction he says in a
clear loud voice, "Blue spirit magic pill. Distilled twice. Medium quality low grade magic pill. I
declare that Heaven peak's Jiang Liu passed the test."

Just when he finishes speaking, all the Heaven peak disciples burst out in cheers.

Because of the limit from the materials, all the magic pills refined by the disciples can only be low
grade magic pills. But even though they are low grade magic pills, the quality can still be a little
different. So the ones distilled once are of low quality, the ones distilled twice are of medium quality
while the ones distilled thrice are of high quality.

But the disciples now can only distill once. So Jiang Liu's achievement, distilling twice and in one
try, is actually quite excellent when compared to others.
Jiang Liu himself is feeling very excited, revealing a slight arrogance in his eyes. Then he realizes
that there is still You XiaoMo standing next to him, so he restrains that bit of arrogance and says
smilingly to him, "Big brother You. It's now your turn."

Argh! I thought the author was using the ancient time period definition where 1 time period is 2
hours but from this chapter it is clear that one time period means 1 hour. So all the hours described in

Chapter 97

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

In the limelight.Blue spirit pill is a magic pill used to amplify the power of martial artists. This
magic pill is what You XiaoMo refined the most during his three month seclusion. He refined about
one hundred and fifty pills. Its difficulty is only second to the Reserve energy pill, also a level two
magic pill that there can not be enough of. That's because it can increase the power of a martial artist
in a very short time. Its side effect is the loss of power for one hour. Although there is a side effect, it
still causes martial artists to rush after it like a flock of ducks.

You XiaoMo refined so many Blue spirit pills because he is preparing to go down the mountain and
sell them for money.

But he still admires Jiang Liu. He already knew long ago that he is an outstanding talent, becoming
a level two mage in a short half a year, even able to refine a Blue spirit magic pill. Clearly he is much
stronger than the other disciples.

Hearing his words, You XiaoMo smiles and nods at him before handing over the magic pill to the
Senior in front of him.

The Senior takes the magic pill. Its light pink color and luster is very vivid. Used to looking at
magic pills with an indifferent look, he is suddenly stunned. His half-closed eyes also widen a little
looking in amazement at the young man, saying, "This Reserve energy magic pill was really refined
by you?"

You XiaoMo is stupefied by the question. If not me then who? Of course he doesn't dare to answer
this way. After being stunned for a moment, he nods his head, "Replying to Elder. It's me who
refined it."

The Senior strokes his mottled black and white beard. A satisfied smile appears on his serious
face. This smile is quite obvious, appearing on the wrinkled Senior's face, making him suddenly
appear lively. One look and it's clear that it is a smile from the inside.

Jiang Liu who is standing at the side and even all those watching this scene all feel very surprised.

Although the assessment only started not long ago and there are still many disciples that have yet to
do the test, it is the first time they see the Senior showing such a happy expression. Doesn't this mean
that that disciple called You XiaoMo refined an extraordinary magic pill?

Jiang Liu bites his lips, looking guardedly at You XiaoMo whose expression remains the same
from the beginning to now.

"Reserve energy magic pill. Distilled twice. Low grade magic pill of medium quality. I declare
that Earth peak's disciple You XiaoMo passes the test."
After the Senior says this, he returns the magic pill to You XiaoMo and at the same time commends
him with a nod saying, "Not bad, continue giving it your best effort. Be sure to guard against
rashness and arrogance."

You XiaoMo restrains his excitement, and happily takes the magic pill, "Thank you Elder.
Disciple will try his best and definitely live up to your expectations."

"Alright, you all can go back down. Next is the fourth round of assessment. Those numbers
that are called, step up."

The Senior waves his hand lightly. His face becomes serious once again, calling out calmly and
expressionlessly.

You XiaoMo turns around and is about to walk away when Jiang Liu suddenly says somewhat
cynically, "Congratulations Big brother You."

You XiaoMo turns around and sees Jiang Liu smiling brilliantly, as if what he felt just now was
only his misconception. So he happily says, "I also have to congratulate you Junior brother Jiang.
Then I'll leave first."

Jiang Liu looks at his retreating back and slowly loses his brilliant smile. He then turns around and
walks back the Heaven peak disciples.

Returning to the group of people, You XiaoMo is immediately congratulated warmly by all the
disciples. Even Kong Wen with his constant serious face, praises him generously with a few words,
the smile on his face getting a little deeper making him seem more approachable.

This disciple did not let him down. It's not in vain that he made an exception and accepted him as a
disciple.

"Junior brother You, I didn't expect you to be so awesome. Even refining a Reserve energy
magic pill. And distilled twice at that. Even stronger than that disciple Jiang Liu. Really making
Earth peak proud."

"That's right, that's right. But it's really unexpected that you actually got the Reserve energy
magic pill. I remember that the Reserve energy magic pill is the most difficult level two magic
pill."

"Heaven's peak Jiang Liu got the Blue spirit magic pill. Blue spirit magic pill is hard to
refine but he took a longer time to refine than Junior brother You. The difficulty is also easier
than Junior brother You's. The both of them finished at about the same time. Looking at it like
this, Junior brother You is still the stronger one."

"We Earth peak finally have this day to walk with our heads held high."

"Hey, you see. Heaven peak people have very black faces yo."
All sorts of excitable and gloating voices rise up one after another. Usually Kong Wen would
definitely not allow them to be so bad mannered. But now, there is no reaction from him at all, as if he
can't hear the voices behind him. This tacit manner causes the disciples to get very worked up, as if
having been injected with chicken blood.

But the more excited they get, the more unsightly the faces of the Heaven peak disciples get on the
other side. This is what is called the reversal of the Wheel of fortune!

You XiaoMo smiles helplessly. He didn't think that he would be pushed into the limelight like this.
At first, he was worried that his speed in refining magic pills is too fast, attracting suspicion. So he
deliberately slowed down. That's why he only finished when the time was almost up.

As for distilling twice, he thought that the disciples undergoing the assessment will also do this
many times. That's why he gave up on distilling three times. Only now does he realize that he forgot to
factor in the time.

For this assessment, the only requirement is that the disciples refine a live magic pill. As for the
quality of the pill, that is only secondary. In other words, no many how times you distill, you will pass
as long as it is not a dead magic pill. That's why most of the disciples would chose to only distill
once whether it's because they are afraid of failing or afraid that they won't have enough time.

Jiang Liu chose to distill twice because of his over self-confidence. That's why he almost ran out of
time. But he also actually got a little big of fame for that. If it wasn't for a certain You XiaoMo, he
would definitely have been the most outstanding one for this assessment.

At the entrance, seeing that You XiaoMo is surrounded by his brothers, Ling Xiao curves his lips
slightly, turns around, and leaves the Hall of Mages.

Zhou Peng thought he would go congratulate Little brother. Seeing him turn around and leave, he
rushes to catch up, "Elder brother, you're leaving just like that? You're not going to say a few
words to Little brother? I feel that if you were to show up, he would be very happy."

Ling Xiao turns to his side and looks at him ambiguously. He doesn't think that You XiaoMo would
be very happy. That fellow will definitely think that he is there to make him do things that he doesn't
want to do.

But it doesn't matter. After all ....... there will be plenty of time for that ah!

After Ling Xiao leaves, You XiaoMo finally looks up from everyone's congratulations towards the
door. But he doesn't see the one he wants to see the most. He can't help but feel a little disappointment
bubbling up. Although there are times when he really loathes Ling Xiao, there are also a lot of times
when he really wants to share with him the happy times.

Three hours later, the assessment if finally over.

You XiaoMo takes a quick look, fifteen of the twenty four Earth peak disciples pass the test. This
number must be pretty good since the smile on Master's face does not decrease one bit.

As for Heaven peak and Flying peak, they have nineteen and fourteen respectively. Three peaks
have forty eight disciples passing the test altogether.

This number is a little less than last year's. But it can't be helped because budding mages are hard
to come by these days. The competition between the large sects are getting fiercer and fiercer. Slow
one step and the promising budding mages would be snatched clean.

But from this You XiaoMo can see the gap between Heaven peak when compared to Flying peak
and Earth peak. On the surface, Earth peak and Flying peak are only down by four or five disciples
but this also reflects the strength of the three major peaks. Heaven peak is clearly a step above.

If Heaven peak were to receive the same proportion of disciples each year, then it won't even take
a few years before the number of people in Heaven peak will surpass that of Earth peak and Flying
peak by quite a lot. Luckily TianXin sect doesn't restrict the Elders from going down the mountain and
taking in their own disciples. It's most probably because of this that the three major peaks have
somewhat even number of people.

Upon returning to Earth peak, Kong Wen asks the nine disciples that failed the test to pack up their
things and go find Uncle Xiao. Uncle Xiao will make the arrangements for what comes next. Then he
lets the rest of the people go except for You XiaoMo.

"Little Seven ah. Looks like Master has underestimated you."

Kong Wen paced around the same spot before suddenly stopping and staring fixedly at You XiaoMo
while saying these words.

You XiaoMo immediately starts to drip with cold sweat. These words after all are ....... "Actually
....... Master's teaching is good."

Kong Wen waves his hand, "There's no need to say these flattering words to Master. Master is
very clear in his heart. After receiving you as a disciple, I tossed you to Elder brother. Master
really didn't undertake any responsibility of being a Master. But Master also has complicated
difficulties. Hopefully you will understand. Now that you are an official and rightful disciple,
there are a few things that can now be said to you."

"Master, I understand." I wonder if .......

Kong Wen continues speaking, "Several thousand years ago, TianXin sect's size was much
much smaller than what it is now. At that time, the strongest one in the whole Mage division
was a level four mage, that is the founder of the Mage division. The founder always wanted to
expand the Mage division but had no way of doing so. Right until the founder by chance and
good luck came across a volume of alchemical techniques."

"What alchemical techniques?"


You XiaoMo pretends to be curious. Actually he already guessed it.

"Martial artists require special techniques when training. Mages are no exception. What the
founder found was a volume of techniques that train the soul force ....... "

The rest of it is pretty much the same as what Ling Xiao told You XiaoMo before. In the end,
getting to the heart of the matter, Kong Wen finally decides to pass on that volume of alchemical
techniques to him. But he must swear an oath to be loyal to TianXin sect forever. And he also can't
tell the contents of the alchemical techniques to anyone, not even those that are closest to him.

"Master ....... if the oath is violated in the future, what would happen?"

You XiaoMo asks cautiously. Regarding oaths, he always wondered, are they really effective?

It must be said that before, he was an atheist. But right now, that is no longer the case .......

Chapter 98

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Inner demons of the void."If an oath is useless, why would Master make you swear it?"

Kong Wen says in a deep voice. He then explains the general points on oaths that relate to mystics.
In brief, oaths are like a checkpoint type of barrier. If you break an oath, no matter if you're a mage or
martial artist, this oath will follow you forever, like an inner demon. It would only disappear if you
manage to defeat it, or ....... if you yourself disappear.

If you are a mage, it is a hundred percent certain that you will remain at that same level from that
point onwards. If you are a martial artist, it is even worse. When training to have a breakthrough, the
oath will wind around you. At the least, it will leave you with a severe injury. At the worst, it would
leave behind a hidden danger making you stuck in that state. That's why a lot of martial artists and
mages won't swear an oath lightly.

You XiaoMo listens until he starts to drip with cold sweat. Luckily he didn't break the oath he
swore the last time at the Central lineage. If not that plaything would latch on to him like an infection
that reaches the bone. Then he will have no hope of ever rising in rank.

But speaking of being loyal to TianXin sect, You XiaoMo feels that he definitely doesn't feel much
attachment to TianXin sect. Furthermore, he has no need for TianXin sect's alchemical techniques. If
he were to let himself be controlled by TianXin sect for a useless volume of alchemical techniques,
isn't that just not worth it?

Luckily Kong Wen didn't ask him swear the oath right away. Passing on the alchemical techniques
is a serious matter. Even though he is one of the three highest level mages of TianXin sect, he still
can't pass on the alchemical techniques to his own disciple without prior authorization. He still has to
report to the higher ups and wait for the elders to discuss it before making their decision.

This lets You XiaoMo heave a sigh of relief.

"Little Seven, this is as far as Master can help you. What comes next will depend on your own
efforts. Also, Master promised you the last time that if Elder brother and Second brother passed
Uncle Ye's test, Master would grant you a request. This matter is now valid so have you thought
about what you want?"

Kong Wen says warmly.

"Thank you Master. But I still haven't decided. Can it wait until I have decided?"

He almost forgot all about that matter.

"Yes. You can tell Master whenever you have decided."


Kong Wen nods his head.

After taking his leave from Master, You XiaoMo trots all the way back. He comes across a lot of
brothers on the way. Seeing him, all of them become very excited, congratulating him one after
another for passing the assessment. Some of then even slapped him forcefully on the shoulder,
praising him greatly for beating the most outstanding Heaven peak disciple, Jiang Liu. All of them
can't hide the joy in their hearts, especially the brothers that were mocked by Heaven peak before.

You XiaoMo rubs his nose helplessly. He didn't think that this matter would spread so quickly.

After bidding farewell to those brothers, You XiaoMo returns to his own room. He finds out that
the brothers next door have not returned. Remembering that two of the brothers also passed the test,
he guessed that they must be out celebrating with everyone.

Pushing open the door, You XiaoMo is just about to walk in when his steps suddenly come to a
halt. He feels that there is an additional familiar scent in the room. Raising his head, he sees a figure
stepping out from behind the folding screen. Dressed in a set of magnificent white robes, the man's
body is slim and graceful.

Seeing him, You XiaoMo's eyes immediately light up, "Elder brother Ling, how come you're
here?"

"Why? Are you not happy to see me?"

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes slightly but a smile escapes from his lips.

"No, no, I'm also looking for you."

You XiaoMo quickly shakes his head, bouncing happily up to Ling Xiao, "Elder brother Ling. I
have some good news to tell you. I already passed the test and am now a formal disciple of
TianXin sect. Now I can go down the mountain whenever I want."

Ling Xiao places his palm on his head and smiles lightly, "I already know. But these things
you're telling me, the last bit is what you really want to tell me ba?"

You XiaoMo laughs *hei hei*. That is exactly his intention.

"The matter with the auction, I've already arranged it. When the time comes, you just have to
prepare the things and we can go at any time. But before that, we must first settle the thing with
you."

That is the reason why Ling Xiao is here.

"Me? What about me?"

You XiaoMo asks in surprise.


Ling Xiao suddenly pinches his nose and snorts, saying, "Are you telling me that Kong Wen
didn't bring up the matter regarding that volume of alchemical techniques?"

You XiaoMo is unable to breathe and hastily pulls away Ling Xiao's hand, saying in surprise,
"How did you know? Master really did bring it up, just before this. Also, he said I would have to
take an oath if I wanted to study them. I was just thinking about discussing this matter with you
ne!"

Regarding the fact that he would be the first one that he looks for when something happens, Ling
Xiao is very pleased with that. Because this proves that You XiaoMo is already starting to get used to
his presence. He is also starting to depend on him more and more. He supposes that with time, this
dependence will make him unable to leave his side.

"This matter is not hard to understand. You displayed extraordinary talent in the Hall of
Mages, taking down Heaven peak's disciple in one fell swoop. Based on this alone, it is enough
to make TianXin sect regard you with importance. Although your innate talent is a restriction
towards your future development, not all core disciples of TianXin sect are high level mages. In
light of your stellar performance, if Kong Wen doesn't reel you in, that would mean that he just
appears more impressive than he really is."

Ling Xiao speaks confidently. Although he did go see the assessment for himself, all these are just
guesses.

You XiaoMo looks at him in admiration, praising him sincerely, "Elder brother Ling, you're
really incredible. The assessment just ended and you already know so much. Then, what do you
think I should do? I already have the Heavenly Soul Scroll. TianXin sect's volume of alchemical
techniques don't seem to be of much use to me."

He doesn't want to take the pledge. He doesn't want to be restrained for no reason by an oath just
for a useless volume of alchemical techniques. But he can't refuse because once he does, that would
mean that he has no intention of being loyal to TianXin sect. If that happens, the result would be even
more disastrous than taking the pledge. He can even imagine Master's abrupt change in expression at
that time.

"That volume of garbage is really of not much use to you."

Ling Xiao walks towards the inside.

You XiaoMo immediately follows him while trying to flatter him, "Elder brother Ling, you are so
powerful. Do you have a way for me to not take the pledge and yet not make Master suspect
me?"

Ling Xiao glances at him with a twinkle in his eye. He lifts up his hand and raps him on the head,
"So you've actually learned the art of flattery."
You XiaoMo pouts as he covers his head. He curses in his heart that he is only doing what he must!

"Come here."

Ling Xiao walks to the bed and sits down, beckoning him over with his finger.

The smile on his face is clearly a gentle one yet it undeniably makes You XiaoMo feel as if a big-
tailed wolf is waving to him. That appearance, one look would make the heart feel ill at ease but he
has no other choice. The person he can rely on the most now is Ling Xiao.

Walking over as slowly as he can, You XiaoMo gives out a silly laugh, "Elder brother Ling, what
are you doing?"

"Take off your shoes and get on the bed. Then I'll tell you."

Ling Xiao looks at him teasingly, pointing to the space at his side.

You XiaoMo's face slowly starts to get a little red. He is obviously thinking of things that he
shouldn't be thinking of. The feeling gets stronger and stronger until he really wants to turn around and
leave, but he can't .......

Taking off his shoes, he slowly climbs onto the bed. You XiaoMo sits cross-legged in front of Ling
Xiao.

Ling Xiao suddenly moves closer to him, the tip of his nose not even one centimeter away from
him. The hot air from his breath is like the steam rising from boiling water, spraying onto You
XiaoMo making his ears turn red.

"Elder brother Ling ....... "

You XiaoMo sounds like a kitten, not knowing where he should put his hands.

Ling Xiao raises the corners of his lips slightly, "No need to worry. First I'll tell you how oaths
are made."

You XiaoMo blinks. How oaths are made? It seems Master actually didn't tell him. He only roughly
described the restrictive and harmful effects that oaths have on mages and martial artists.

"Do you know why oaths are effective on martial artists?"

Ling Xiao asks.

You XiaoMo shakes his head. This is what he really doesn't understand. If oaths are really
effective, all the people of the twenty first century would be wiped out since they always swear oaths
only to break them again and again.

Ling Xiao didn't expect that he would know. He says wistfully, "Outside the universe, there is a
void. In it live peculiar creatures that are called the void. When a martial artist swears an oath, it
would break through the void and enter the oath-taker's body, attaching onto the surface of the soul. If
the martial artists breaks the oath, the void would drill into the soul much like an evil infection that
reaches the bones, only disappearing when the oath-taker is destroyed.

You XiaoMo's feels his hair stand up in terror. He rubs his arms vigorously, "Is there really no
way to defeat this void?"

Ling Xiao smiles, saying, "There isn't. One can only rely on willpower to defeat the void. Only
this way will one be able to shake off the void forever. But after shaking off the void, there is a
tremendous benefit."

"What benefit?"

You XiaoMo's eyes light up as he asks hurriedly.

Ling Xiao looks at his sparkling eyes and suddenly feels an itch in his heart. He narrows his eyes
saying, "The benefit is, you no longer have to fear the void anymore when swearing an oath.
Because the oath would make a different void appear. If the void that appears is smaller than
the one before, then even if you break the oath, nothing would happen."

"Such good benefit ah. Then ....... "

You XiaoMo exclaims happily.

"Yes ah, so do you want to try?" Ling Xiao smiles deviously as he asks softly.

You XiaoMo looks at his expression and immediately comes back to his senses. He hastily waves
his hand laughing *hei hei*, saying, "I'm just joking."

Chapter 99

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Blood pact seed.If the void can be defeated so easily, there won't be so many martial artists afraid
of it.

But the people that know about the existence of the void, if you were to count on one's fingers, you
may not even find five people in the whole Long Xiao continent. That's why what Ling Xiao says is
completely different from what Kong Wen told You XiaoMo. His words are one level deeper.

Although Kong Wen has a deep understanding of oaths, he doesn't know about the existence of the
void. That's why he can only tell You XiaoMo the superficial things, the things that a lot of people
also know.

Ling Xiao stares at his face for a while until You XiaoMo becomes embarrassed before he stops
teasing him.

"Although there are people that have defeated the void, this type of person is as rare as the
feather of the phoenix or the horn of the unicorn. You may not even find one in ten million
people. So you shouldn't place your hopes on defeating the void by some stroke of luck."

"Then ....... how am I going to get past the void?"

You XiaoMo whispers his question.

"There is no way to escape from the void."

Ling Xiao says calmly.

"No way to escape? Then wouldn't I be caught up in it?"

You XiaoMo is no longer calm. He feels that Ling Xiao is always playing with him, not coming to
the point after all this talk.

Ling Xiao suddenly shows what can be called a warm and gentle smile.

You XiaoMo jumps in fright, immediately not daring to complain anymore, shrinking into himself.

A devilish gleam flashes in Ling Xiao's eyes. He grabs his arm and pulls him to his side. He hooks
one arm firmly around his waist and very intimately rubs himself against his neck, before saying
softly, "With me here, how can I let you get caught up in it?"

These words are said very lightly, without the arrogance of something said with utmost self-
confidence. But it still has an unshakable certainty that can't be matched by the words self-confidence.
For some unknown reason, when You XiaoMo hears these words, an indescribable heroic spirit
emerges deep inside his heart. But this heroic spirit is not his .......

"Then ....... what should I do?"

You XiaoMo swallows repeatedly.

Ling Xiao hugs him, both of his hands running all over his body while he laughs freely as he
speaks, "That would depend on whether you trust me. The method is not difficult. You only have
to let me plant a blood pact seed in your body, let the seed stay deep in your mind, close to the
soul. When you swear an oath, the moment when the void drills into your soul, the blood pact
seed will automatically gobble it up and destroy it."

You XiaoMo feels that this method is really miraculous, so he asks cautiously, "What is the blood
pact seed?"

"Oh, the blood pact seed is basically the seed of my spirit. As long as the person is planted
with my seed, he will be controlled by me."

Ling Xiao smiles slightly as he speaks slowly. Feeling the person in his arms stiffen slightly, he
smiles saying, "But it's not the same as a puppet. As long as you don't betray me, my blood pact
seed won't devour your soul."

"De ....... devour the soul?"

You XiaoMo's eyes open wide, this is too terrifying ne!

"Little brother, this is not just a form of intimidation."

Ling Xiao whispers softly in his ear.

You XiaoMo pouts. This is a good solution? It's clearly jumping from one fiery pit into another.
Although the one controlling him is different, in the end he will still be controlled by others.

Ling Xiao laughs *he he* saying, "So how? Have you decided which one you want?"

You XiaoMo rolls his eyes uncertainly. Suddenly he gets a flash of inspiration, quickly turning
around and clutching Ling Xiao's robe, saying full of hope, "Elder brother Ling, that blood pact
seed can be withdrawn ba. Since you can plant it, you should also be able to take it back, right?"

Ling Xiao looks at his collar that is being held tightly by him. His lips start to curve upwards,
revealing a teasing smile, "Little brother, how unexpected. Not seeing you for three days and
you've actually become smarter."

This statement means that he agrees with what he said ba?


You XiaoMo laughs *hei hei*. This is something he suddenly thought about all on his own.

It's not something seen on TV. Furthermore, he was always a very smart person OK!

Ling Xiao starts to laugh. There is an added hint of treachery and craftiness in his eyes. He is
absolutely not going to tell him that he basically has no intention of taking back the blood pact seed
after everything is settled.

Although it really is as he said, he can control the person that is planted with the blood pact seed
whenever and wherever he wants, but as long as he doesn't deliberately activate the blood pact seed,
the target won't be affected at all. Furthermore, what he said does not describe the blood pact seed
completely. It actually has another very useful function. That is to protect You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo is too weak. He can't be by his side at all times. So if by chance something happens
when he is not by his side, the blood pact seed can save him. It can also call out to him whenever and
from wherever, and let him know that You XiaoMo is in danger.

As for why he is so concerned about You XiaoMo, to the extent of planting the blood pact seed in
his body, it can be attributed to his selfish motives. He can't stay in TianXin sect forever. So if he
were to leave in the future, he will also take You XiaoMo with him. Since it is already certain that he
will have to 'betray' TianXin sect, he doesn't want You XiaoMo to be restricted by TianXin sect,
making him unable to leave. So, even if You XiaoMo didn't come to look for him, he would come
over himself anyway.

"Elder brother Ling, then when should we start?"

You XiaoMo looks expectantly at him when he speaks.

He can't say for sure when Master will ask him to go over again. So it's better to take care of this
matter as soon as possible.

Hearing these words, an unmistakable smile appears on Ling Xiao's face, faintly carrying a tinge of
expectation. He licks his lips saying, "Right now ....... we'll start now ba. First, close your eyes."

Although You XiaoMo feels that it's strange, he still obediently closes his eyes.

Ling Xiao stretches out his slender jade-like finger and slowly strokes along his white jade-like
cheeks. His lips start to curve upwards slightly. Little guy, actually letting the great me give you a
blood pact seed that has what is equivalent to one tenth of my power. In the end, is this your good luck
or my good luck? I hope you won't let me down *he he* .......

Ling Xiao snaps his finger and sets up a barrier outside. When that is done, he closes his eyes.
Suddenly a captivating bright colored flame appears between his brows and eyes, about the size of a
fingernail. Appearing and disappearing between his brows, extremely bewitching.

After a while, Ling Xiao suddenly opens his eyes.


The eyes that were originally black like the night sky sudden turn a brilliant red like blood gems. A
bewitching red, occasionally radiating gold rays. His beautiful lips curve up devilishly. The sharp
pointed nail of his forefinger raises slightly the chin of the person in his arms. He slowly lowers his
head. The scorching bright red lips slowly cover the lightly quivering lips of the other party. His slick
wet tongue drills in forcefully hooking onto that tongue that is constantly retreating, entangling
together, mixing their saliva together until they can no longer be distinguished, flooding You XiaoMo's
oral cavity. In the end, it becomes too much to bear, overflowing out of the corner of his lips
obscenely.

You XiaoMo feels that he is quickly losing the ability to breathe. This time it is for real. Not
something he is doing on purpose.

When You XiaoMo can't take it any longer and is about to start struggling, Ling Xiao suddenly
stops his rather forceful kiss. Right after, it seems that something cold crosses over from the other
mouth. Not waiting for him to react, that thing just slides down his throat.

The ice cold feeling makes You XiaoMo shiver involuntarily. Just when he wants to say something,
the arm hugging him suddenly tightens. That force sharply decreases the distance between him and
Ling Xiao. The bodies stick tightly together, almost making him feel the other's scorching hot body
temperature.

Then his lips are sealed again. With no way of containing the flood of saliva, the front of his
clothes get completely soaked.

Ling Xiao's kiss is neither gentle nor lingering. He pushes and shoves straight in much like his
character, forceful and overbearing. Giving You XiaoMo's tongue no choice but to dance together
with his, flirtatiously nibbling and sucking, the blazing hot temperature scalding his lips until they are
unbearably swollen and red.

The endless deep probing of the tongue makes him feel as if a hole is going to be burned through
his throat .......

You XiaoMo suddenly comes to his senses, using all his strength to push him away. He only
succeeds in moving his body a tiny bit but luckily that is enough to let him gasp for breath. After
calming down his breathing, he realizes -_-|| that, who knows when, Ling Xiao already untied his
clothes and has both hands stroking inside.

One of the hands is on his chest while the other is at his abdomen, touching here and there. Seeing
that it is about to go further downwards, You XiaoMo panics and quickly pulls his hands out and pull
his clothes close wanting to escape from his arms.

Just when he raises himself up, Ling Xiao holds him back down, laughing ambiguously.

"Little brother. It can't be that you're thinking of running after taking advantage of me ba?"

You XiaoMo, " ....... "


Bloody hell, who is actually the one being taken advantage of? Clearly he is one that is being taken
advantage of and yet he is not allowed to run?

Ling Xiao lifts the hair that is hanging down on his chest. He licks his lips as if not having had his
fill. He laughs softly saying, "Little brother. The blood pact seed is already inside your mind. If
Kong Wen comes to find you, you can just swear the oath."

Alright then. Even though he was taken advantage of, at least the most serious matter has been
resolved.

That kiss, he'll just treat is as his payment. You XiaoMo is thinking somewhat naively .......

Chapter 100

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Magic pill formula.Three days later, Kong Wen as expected, sends someone to call him over.

Because of his outstanding performance in the Hall of Mages, the Elders of the Mage division all
agree that he should be able to practice that volume of alchemical techniques. Once he practices those
alchemical techniques, he will be a core disciple of TianXin sect.

Swearing the oath takes place in front of Kong Wen and a few of the Elders.

With the protection of the blood seed pact, You XiaoMo swears the oath straightforwardly. He
swears in front of the Elders that he will forever be loyal to TianXin sect, and will not reveal the
contents of the alchemical techniques to anyone. The contents of the oath is done by repeating after
one of the Elders. It has always been like this so they are not afraid that the oath taker will be able to
take advantage of some loophole.

After leaving the Hall of Mages, You XiaoMo follows Kong Wen to the secret chamber.

In the secret chamber, Kong Wen passes on that volume of alchemical techniques to him. Because it
is a low grade alchemical technique, the content is not much. Compared to the Heavenly Soul Scroll
that has over ten pages, this volume of low grade alchemical techniques has not more than six pages.

You XiaoMo reads it over once and stores it all in his memory. With the increase in his power, he
can now remember everything firmly after reading it through just once. Much like the so-called
photographic memory. It's also because of this that he has read most of the books in the first level of
the library in the short span of half a year.

"Master, I've decided what I want?"

After leaving the alchemical technique, You XiaoMo remembers that he still hasn't made his
request, so he simply brings it up before leaving.

Kong Wen is not the least bit surprised, replying calmly, "As long as it is within Master's
abilities, you can ask for whatever you want."

Those words mean that if it is not within his abilities, the request will become invalid or he would
have to come up with another one.

You XiaoMo had guessed as much. Luckily his request is not especially difficult, "Master, I ....... I
want to go take a look at the third level of the library's East pavilion."

Kong Wen immediately frowns, "What do you want to do on the third level of the library?"
The third level of the library's East pavilion is considered a restricted area. The books displayed
inside have considerable value. Disciples can't go inside without explicit authorization from the
higher ups. Even though You XiaoMo is a core disciple, he still isn't allowed inside. With his current
status, he can only go to the first and second level.

"Disciple heard that the third level of the East pavilion has formulas for level four magic
pills. So disciple wants to go take a look."

You XiaoMo steals a look at him.

Kong Wen is the head of Earth peak and a high level mage. He doesn't need the permission of the
Elders to enter the third level of the library. He also has the right to allow his disciples to go to the
third level. He learned all these from asking Elder brother during their last conversation.

Kong Wen clearly didn't expect him to make this request. After some hesitation, he says, "You are
now only a level two mage. The things in the third level of the library are not things that
someone at your level can touch for now. Even if I let you go take a look, it is not of much use to
you."

"Disciple understands but disciple still wants to go have a look ....... "

You XiaoMo lowers his head and speaks softly.

This is also something he found out later. Having magic herbs and a soul force doesn't mean that
mages can refine a magic pill.

Because only a few magic herbs are required for low level magic pills, it only takes a paltry five
steps to form a magic pill. So a specific formula is not needed. But this is not the case for level four
and above magic pills.

For example, a level four magic pill. It requires eight types of magic herbs. Because each type has
a different effect, if an error is made while putting a few types together, the effect would be lost
making that magic pill worthless. So it is necessary to follow a formula when conducting the blending
steps.

You XiaoMo had looked all over the second level of the library and he still didn't find any
formulas for level four to level six magic pills. So he guessed that formulas for level four and up
magic pills are not things that are easily given out. That's why he wants to go look for them on the
third level.

But he still doesn't qualify to enter the third level at this moment, so he makes this request of Kong
Wen.

If he made this request before swearing the oath, Kong Wen would absolutely not agree because
level four and above magic pill formulas are only passed on to core disciples. Now, he is only a little
suspicious.
"Since you are determined to go to the third level, Master will not stop you. But you can only
go in for two hours. You have to come out after two hours without delay, understand?"

Kong Wen says.

"Disciple understands."

You XiaoMo immediately promises happily.

Then Kong Wen takes out a red tablet and hands it to him. His name is written on the tablet. Using
this tablet, he can enter the third level of the library. But he can only enter the third level of the East
pavilion. The West pavilion can't be accessed with this tablet.

"This is a one time use tablet made by Master. It can be used to enter the library only once.
Once it's used, it will destroy itself automatically."

Because his Grand disciple and Second disciple are already level four mages, they will
occasionally go to the library. So Kong Wen already prepared a few of these type of tablets. The
tablets contain his soul force. When it is destroyed, he would be able to sense it.

After receiving the tablet, You XiaoMo runs non-stop to the library.

After the assessment, he is no longer busy. He doesn't have much to do these days so he simply
heads to the library to take a look.

The library guard tosses him the level two tablet as usual. You XiaoMo doesn't refuse because he
can only go to the third level for two hours. So he can while away the rest of his time on the second
level.

The third level of the East pavilion doesn't contain as many books as the first and second level. But
if these books were to be brought out, there would most probably be a huge pile of people fighting
and snatching.

You XiaoMo takes a rough look. There are not just magic pill formulas on the bookshelves. There
are also dissertations from high level mages for over several thousand years. Just the dissertations
alone are enough to fill three whole bookshelves. If it was not for the time limit, he would hole up in
the library for one or two months and read every one of it.

Two hours passes by very quickly. You XiaoMo somewhat reluctantly closes the book in his hand.

Level four to level six magic pill formulas. He uses his soul force to slowly carve them into his
soul because normal memory is no use.

The person who wrote down these magic pill formulas seems to have been very powerful. Each
word seems to have some sort of charm. After looking at them for a while, the mind would feel like it
is in a trance. In an instant, all the previous memories will be wiped out. A very sinister move.
Luckily Elder brother told him about his before so this trip wouldn't be wasted.
After one and a half hours, he finally committed all the magic pill formulas to memory. He spent the
remaining half an hour on the dissertations of a few high level mages. He wanted to find Uncle Ye's
dissertation of magic herb cultivation. Too bad he didn't find it even after looking through all the
bookshelves.

After leaving the library, as expected, the tablet changed into a puff of flying ash on its own, just
like what Kong Wen said.

You XiaoMo doesn't go to look for Kong Wen again. He runs back to his room and takes out a
brush, paper, and inkstone.

This is his first time using the soul force to memorize things so he doesn't know how effective it is.
He is worried that he would suddenly forget it all one day so he decides to write out all the magic
formulas for now.

Three different levels of magic formulas. There are altogether several tens of magic pill formulas.
You XiaoMo is just about to start writing when he realizes one fact .......

Damn it! He can't write using a brush .......

After a whole lot of mouth twitching, You XiaoMo only manages to write three crooked and shaky
characters. The twenty first century is a time of fountain pens and ball point pens. Brushes have long
ago been discarded into who knows which corner. You might not even be able to find one person out
of ten that can write using a brush.

After struggling for half a day, You XiaoMo finally realizes that he has to start by practicing
calligraphy. But where can find the spare time for that now? After thinking it over for half a day, he
still decides to write the magic pill formulas down first. Although his calligraphy is very much like
earthworms crawling here and there, as long as it can read, it should be good enough.

The sun that is hanging high above everyone's heads, after going through a thousand trials and ten
thousand tribulations, finally crawl below the Western horizon.

The tightly closed door is pushed open from outside. A slender shadow is cast from the fiery red
sunset, making it look very long, cast from the door into the room, falling on the chair .......

Ling Xiao walks in lightly and quietly. Turning around he sees You XiaoMo asleep, sprawled on
the table.

You XiaoMo is using one of his arms as a pillow. Saliva drips from the corner of his mouth on the
half written white piece of paper. Drop by drop adding up to form a puddle of saliva.

Ling Xiao walks over and bends down to pick up a piece of paper that had fallen to the floor. He
turns it over and sees an impressive ten or so crooked shaky characters. Usually, people can fit
several hundred characters on this sheet of paper and he can only fit ten or so. On top of that, they are
too horrible to look at.
Ling Xiao lifts the corners of his mouth, and can't help letting out a chuckle.

These characters, one look and you can tell that this is someone that is just starting to learn how to
write. Because of poor strength control, some strokes are as thick as a baby's arm while others are
rather fine. Large and small all uneven, making them appear extremely funny.

Ling Xiao picks up all the papers that have fallen on the floor. Taking a closer look, he finds out
that they are all level four magic pill formulas. He can't help but frown. Why is he writing all these
magic formulas for no good reason?

"Oh ....... "

You XiaoMo moves his mouth while in dreamland. He unconsciously turns over his face and
continues sleeping.

The exposed side of his face, because it was slept on for almost half an hour, is bright red. Like a
huge pimple.

Ling Xiao stretches out his finger and pokes his nose. A slight smile appears on his face, "Take
advantage of you."

Note:American time - spare time (supposedly it means you're able to do the things you do during
the day during the night when it is day time in America)

Chapter 101

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

HunJi city.When the last ray of light drops below the horizon, and the whole world is in darkness,
You XiaoMo finally wakes up. He stands up and stretches himself and just when he wants to break out
a yawn, a beaming handsome face appears in front of his eyes.

Although this type of situation has happened before, he still jumps in fright, his body toppling
backwards abruptly. Just when he is about to fall off the chair, the owner of that handsome face
stretches out his hand and grabs his collar, pulling him up.

"Little brother, why are you so clumsy ne?"

Ling Xiao speaks softly by his ear.

You XiaoMo's soul still hasn't calmed down when he takes a breath and glares at him, "If you
don't frighten me, I wouldn't be so clumsy."

Ling Xiao brings him to his side, smiling while speaking, "How could I frighten you? Clearly,
you are the one who was sleeping, so you can't blame me."

You XiaoMo exclaims *ah*. He just remembers that he was transcribing magic pill formulas before
he fell asleep. Lowering his head to take a look, he doesn't see the ten or so pieces of paper that he
finished transcribing before. When he fails to find them after looking under the table, he can't help but
widen his eyes, "The magic pill formulas I transcribed ne?"

"Little brother, are you talking about this ah?"

Ling Xiao lifts up the pile of paper in his hands. They are the ones he picked up from the floor
before. The topmost piece is a little wrinkled, as if stained by something wet.

You XiaoMo stretches his hand wanting to snatch them back but Ling Xiao raises his hand causing
him to come up empty.

Ling Xiao crosses his legs, flipping through the sheets of paper while mocking, "Little brother,
your calligraphy really made be see things in a new light ah!"

You XiaoMo shifts his gaze uneasily, two tell-tale pink spots appearing on his cheeks.

Of course he knows that his calligraphy is too terrible to look at. But he can't help it. Who asked
him to have never written with a brush before? If he has a fountain pen or a ball point pen, he would
be able to write acceptable-looking characters.

"There is something I'm very curious about. I wonder if Little brother can help explain it. If
you can satisfy me, I will help you transcribe these magic pill formulas. How about it?"

Ling Xiao throws the stack of paper in his hand onto the table. Then he picks up another stack of
paper and waves them in front of his face.

You XiaoMo was just looking all over the place awkwardly when he sees Ling Xiao bring out a
stack of papers. He looks over in surprise and sees neat and orderly characters written in beautiful
handwriting. His eyes gleam suddenly when he thinks of another thing. He asks doubtfully, "Elder
brother Ling, did you write these?"

"If it wasn't me, then don't tell me it was you?"

Ling Xiao casts a sidelong glance at him as he retorts.

"But ....... I remember that you said you haven't written for a long time, so ....... "

You XiaoMo rubs his nose. He still remembers the characters from when Ling Xiao transcribed the
Heavenly Soul Scroll for him. At that time, his calligraphy was just like his now. It can also be
described as too terrible to look at. So the sudden appearance of this beautiful handwriting, makes
him doubt that this is really written by him.

Ling Xiao angrily raps him on the head, "That was before."

Ever since he showed his ugly handwriting, in order to not embarrass himself in front of You
XiaoMo again, he deliberately found time to practice writing again. These magic pill formulas were
just written by him based on what You XiaoMo transcribed.

Hearing his reply, You XiaoMo is deeply jealous, "What was it that you're so curious about?"

Speaking of that, Ling Xiao suddenly looks at him as if deep in thought, "Usually, someone who
can read should be able to write. But you seem to be able to read but not write. Why is this?
Furthermore, I feel that you seem to have more secrets that I don't know about."

A drop of cold sweat suddenly rolls down You XiaoMo's forehead. This person is too sharp.

You XiaoMo doesn't dare to look directly at him. He shifts his gaze away while saying, "There is
nothing to be curious about. My parents died young. Before I was seventeen, I was brought up in
my maternal aunt's family. My maternal aunt's family is not rich, so there is no money to send
me to school. I could only learn to recognize a few words from my maternal aunt's son and
daughter."

He wouldn't tell him the real reason even if beaten to death. He is someone that crossed-over from
the twenty first century Earth.

Ling Xiao frowns. He isn't really clear about You XiaoMo's life history, "Is that how it is?"
"Of course. If you don't believe me, you can find a time to look for someone to ask."

You XiaoMo answers hastily. He isn't worried that he would be found out because when he asked
Jiang Liu about things that has to do with him, Jiang Liu also told him the same thing.

Although Ling Xiao is still skeptical, seeing him speak with certainty, he doesn't ask any further.
Thinking of why he came over this time, he says, "Regarding the auction, I have already made the
proper arrangements. If you are not busy tomorrow we can just set out tomorrow ba."

"Really? I have nothing going on tomorrow. I can go at any time."

Once he hears that the matter with the auction is settled, he immediately grabs Ling Xiao's arm
excitedly.

Ling Xiao glances at the arm that is clutched by him and reveals a crafty smile, "It is already dark.
Since I have to come here again tomorrow, I might as well ....... sleep over here tonight."

His tone clearly states that this is not something to be discussed .......

You XiaoMo quickly takes back his hand and stammers, "Elder brother Ling, this is not really
suitable ba. I only have one bed and it is very small. It can only hold one person ....... "

Ling Xiao smiles sweetly, "It's alright, we only have to squeeze a little."

You XiaoMo's face suddenly crumbles. Squeeze a little? He is afraid that even his innards will be
squeezed out. He has an inkling that Ling Xiao will definitely make use of this opportunity to make a
move on him.

The real situation proves that Ling Xiao really isn't going to just squeeze a little like he said. His
bed is already small to begin with. For two persons to sleep on it, they can only stick closely together.
You XiaoMo dawdles for half a day before he was finally pulled by Ling Xiao onto the bed. All four
limbs tangling together, not even a crack is left in between them.

Waking up the next day, You XiaoMo finds that he is again like a eight-legged octopus hanging onto
Ling Xiao's body.

Because the matter with the auction can't be revealed to anyone else, Ling Xiao only arranged for
the two of them to go down the mountain. Zhou Peng who had originally wanted to go with them was
sent by Ling Xiao on another secret mission.

Before leaving, You XiaoMo notifies Fang ChenLe about going down the mountain. Because he is
already a core disciple, he doesn't have to ask for permission like before. It also doesn't have to be
recorded.

Fang ChenLe knows that he is going down the mountain with Ling Xiao so he isn't worried. He only
tells him to take care.
Half a stick of incense later, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao leave TianXin sect together.

TianXin sect is located in the most flourishing Southern part of Long Xiao continent. HunJi city is
the the third biggest city of this Southern region. It's located on a mountain pass of the WuFeng
mountain range. Every day, over ten thousand people go in and out of this fortress. That's why it
developed so quickly in a short ten or so years to become the third largest city in the Southern region.

The destination of their trip this time is this HunJi city.

Although the area of HunJi city is not as large as the largest and second largest city, its prosperity
is greater than even the largest city. So a lot of rare things can be found there, like rare high level
magic pills and high level magic herbs.

Looking at the unending green flatlands, a black horse carriage is flying forward like a whirlwind.
The horse carriage is drawn by a galloping reddish brown horse. Its tall and large body is much
stronger and sturdier than normal horses. Its fiery red eyes are stubborn and unruly. Time and again, it
would raise his head up and neigh. One look and people can tell that this horse is in a very excitable
state .......

You XiaoMo feels like he is soon going to vomit. This is the first time he is taking a horse carriage.
It's also the first time he is taking a horse carriage that is running so fast.

Although the inside of the horse carriage is lined with a layer of thick plush woolen blankets, the
horse carriage is shaking very fiercely. His brain that is not very smart to begin with, right now is
already shaken into mush. His stomach churns endlessly, almost causing him to throw up last night's
meal.

The one hugging him, Ling Xiao, is not the least bit affected by the speed of the horse. His eyes
laugh as he hugs the listless You XiaoMo and strokes his back, "We'll be there soon. Just endure it
a little more and it'll be fine."

These words, You XiaoMo already heard them quite a few times.

"After this ....... I will never again sit this horse carriage ....... "

You XiaoMo speaks falteringly. It's too much torture. He feels that he has already lost half his life.

Because there is no limit on the time he can go down the mountain, there is no need to get there in a
hurry. So Ling Xiao suggested that they take a horse carriage. Thinking that he has yet to take a horse
carriage, You XiaoMo thinks that he can give it a try, so he agrees. He didn't expect that he would
regret it less than half an hour later. Also, where did Ling Xiao get this horse carriage? The horse that
is pulling the carriage seems relatively easily excitable leaving You XiaoMo in a disastrous state.

"It will be fine when you get used to it."

Ling Xiao consoles him.


The Raging fire horse is really relatively easily excitable. But they have good stamina. And they
are also fast. Once you get used to their speed, you will find that this is actually a very enjoyable
thing!

"I rather not get used to it ever ....... ou ....... "

Crossing through the green plains, that enormous city on top of the fortress finally appears.

The tall city walls reaching to the clouds are extremely wide and grand. The unending red city wall
seems to give out a rusty feel. It obviously has a very long history. When the sunshine pours down
from above, the red city wall seems to shine, reflecting dazzling rays of light. Taking a look from up
close, the red city walls are actually made of what is called Rosefinch spirit iron.

Rosefinch spirit iron is something that has excellent defensive properties. But its price is also
extraordinary. HunJi city walls are completely made out of Rosefinch spirit iron, so it is clear how
deep their resources are.

Half an hour later, the horse carriage finally reaches outside HunJi city. That Raging fire horse, that
is not driven by anyone, stops on its own.

Thanks for the encouragement! I will be taking a rather long break in the near future :p
Chapter 102

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Rules.A number of men on horses whistle past on the road, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust. Ten
thousand horses galloping ahead in an imposing manner finally come to a stop a few hundred meters
outside HunJi city. The tall gigantic city walls that soar to the clouds make everyone appear extremely
small.

You XiaoMo feels that he is very unlucky. After finally managing to get off the horse carriage, he
was just about to take in some air when a group of horsemen gallop across in front of him, the hooves
kicking up yellow dust covering his whole face, even into his mouth.

"Ah pei ....... "

You XiaoMo's lips twitch somewhat dejectedly, spitting out a mouthful of yellow dirt. How
unlucky.

These people actually have no consideration for others. This is just outside HunJi city. There are
who knows how many people queueing waiting to enter the city. Causing such a commotion, the ones
affected is not just him alone. Quite a few people are just like him, faces covered in dust. What
surprises him is that they all seem to be furious but do not dare to voice their anger.

Just when he is wondering about this, someone gives him the answer.

"Boy, are you the one that spit just now?"

A tall and lean man riding a large horse suddenly turns his horse around and goes over to You
XiaoMo. Looking at him from above, at You XiaoMo who is wiping his mouth, his face is forbidding,
as if he is looking at mole crickets and ants.

You XiaoMo is stunned. What is the meaning of this? Don't tell me he is not allowed to spit after
having his mouth filled with dirt?

But what is really surprising is that he could actually hear someone spitting amidst the thundering
hooves.

Thinking of this, he sees the onlookers all showing sympathetic and pitying expressions. But not a
single one comes to help him out. There are actually a few standing with their arms crossed watching
the scene in glee.

You XiaoMo racks his brains, then asks, "May I ask what you want?"

The tall lean man grins saying, "Boy. I couldn't tell that you have that much guts. But in front
of the great me, guts is of no use, only fists are useful."
Guts? You XiaoMo feels that what he lacks the most seems to be guts.

But when he doesn't hear what the real deal is after waiting half a day, he starts to get impatient.
His body was tossed around for half a day and he is still feeling a little uncomfortable. So he asks,
"This big brother. What is it that you want?"

Seeing the impatience on his face, the tall lean man's face turns cold, he stretches out his hand and
reaches back drawing out a large knife in the shape of a crescent moon. He swings it straight at the
stunned You XiaoMo cutting downwards while saying, "Boy. I see this is your first time in HunJi
city. Now I will teach you one of the rules. Don't think you're somebody over here. In my eyes,
you're not even an ant!"

You XiaoMo completely can't figure out why this person suddenly attacks when they were just
speaking. It doesn't seem as if he said anything offensive ah.

But that crescent blade has no chance of falling onto You XiaoMo's body. Behind him a slender
hand like white jade stretches out from the carriage window and easily stops the sharp crescent
blade. No matter how much force the tall lean man uses, the crescent blade has no way of lowering
even a little bit.

The tall lean man's face changes suddenly. A sinister gleam flashes in his eyes as he shouts fiercely,
"Who dares to oppose my Wolf fang gang? Tired of living? Show yourself if you dare!"

"Boy. I also have a rule for you. In front of the great me, don't even try to touch my man."

The drapes of the carriage flutters with the wind. A warm voice comes out from inside the
carriage, a lazy drawl. The voice is somewhat captivating and languid, unhurried, very pleasing to the
ear. But the words are dripping with scorn, raking the taut nerves of that tall lean man.

Soon after, a pair of silver white brocade boots reveal themselves from under the carriage drapes.
They are followed by a tall slender man slowly stepping out. He is dressed in a snow white soft robe
decorated with gold silk, fluttering with the wind. Dashing eyebrows and sparkling eyes. Elegant and
full of style. Grabbing everyone's attention when he appears.

The man's lips hold a gentle smile, as if he is just meeting a friend, and not seizing the tall lean
man's crescent blade with one hand.

Upon seeing Ling Xiao, You XiaoMo immediately gets up shakily and hides behind him.

Looking back at the crescent blade that is very close to him, he shivers again. Really dangerous. If
Ling Xiao didn't make his move, he would already be cut into two right now.

He feels like he is in extreme danger. This world is too terrifying. Killing people at the drop of a
hat. He really wants to go back to Earth!

Not waiting for the tall lean man to speak, Ling Xiao simply bends his finger and flicks the crescent
blade away.

The force of his flick is not much but the tall lean mean is unable to withstand it. On top of that, he
is riding on the back of a horse. Struck by this force, the whole person simply falls off the horse
landing heavily on the ground, stirring up a huge cloud of dust.

"Ke ke ....... "

The tall lean man coughs violently and struggles to get up on his feet. He feels that some of his ribs
are broken. When he looks at Ling Xiao again, his eyes reveal some fear and frustration, "If you have
the guts, stand here and don't run. Wolf fang gang will definitely not let go of the both of you."

Ling Xiao raises his eyes and looks at the not too distant Wolf fang gang, with their sharp swords
drawn, itching for a fight.

Most probably because they saw their head easily thrown down by Ling Xiao, so all of them do not
dare to act rashly. He can't help but snicker. Really such a ragtag band. Just this little bit of ability and
they still dare to stir up trouble as they wish.

"Idiot!"

Ling Xiao sneers as he ridicules him. He then pulls You XiaoMo and turns back into the horse
carriage.

At this moment, the Raging fire horse somewhat intelligently neighs. He stomps his back hooves
and starts galloping again. But this time the speed is slower, no longer making people feel like they
are being tossed about. Maybe it's because this is outside HunJi city with people coming and going so
it's not suitable for a full-speed gallop.

The sound of the hooves drown out the cries of alarm. Only now does everyone notice that the
horse pulling the carriage is a Raging fire horse. Legend has it that its temperament if very volatile. A
precious horse with unbelievable stamina. But it's a pity that Raging fire horses are only found in the
MoRi forest, so they are rarely seen. Unexpectedly, one actually shows up here, immediately causing
quite an uproar. Too bad the owner of the horse has already left.

When they are about to reach the grand gate of HunJi city, the horse carriage is immediately
blocked by two guards.

The Raging fire horse feels a light pressure coming from inside the carriage, and neighs, then rather
unwillingly comes to a stop.

The two guards secretly let out a sigh of relief. It's not as if they haven't come across a Raging fire
horse before. They know that its temperament is very volatile. If it really wants to barge through, they
won't be able to stop it based on their strength. Furthermore, someone who is able to tame a Raging
fire horse is definitely no ordinary person. If they were to offend the person inside the horse carriage
because of this, it would not be a good thing.
"I'm sorry but everyone that wants to enter HunJi city needs to hand over two pieces of gold
each."

One of the guards speaks.

This is one of the ways HunJi city earns money. Except for the native residents, all outsiders must
pay an entrance fee each time they enter the city. According to the number of people, the more people
entering the city, the more entrance fees are collected. Although two pieces of gold can support an
ordinary family for two months, it is not considered much for most people. Just finding some spot
inside the city and setting up a stall, two pieces of gold can be earned back at any time. So this
entrance fee is within the acceptable range for a lot of people.

After the guards finish speaking, a slender hand stretches out from the window with four gold coins
lying in the palm.

The guard looks inside through the crack of the window and can faintly see two figures. Also,
people who use Raging fire horses can't lack a few gold coins so he doesn't ask to check inside the
horse carriage before letting them in.

Inside the horse carriage, You XiaoMo exclaims happily, "Luckily I have gold coins on me. If
not, we wouldn't even be able to make it pass the gate."

Ling Xiao smiles. He doesn't tell him that actually it wouldn't matter even if they don't have gold
coins. Because it can be replaced with other things. And if those things are worth more than four gold
coins, then that guard would most probably keep it for himself and use his own gold coins to make up
for it. This kind of situation is not uncommon. HunJi city also doesn't prohibit it so it just depends on
the luck of the guard.

"Elder brother Ling. Where are we going now?"

You XiaoMo keeps the pouch holding the gold coins and then lifts up the window curtain and looks
outside in high spirits. The bustling streets are filled with bobbing heads in all directions. This
spectacular sight is much livelier than HePing town. Soon he completely forgets about what happened
outside the city gates.

"First, we'll go the auction house and declare what we will be putting up for auction. We'll
discuss the rest after that."

Ling Xiao leans languidly inside the carriage. His eyes fall on the side profile of You XiaoMo's
face that is a little red from the excitement. He tries to restrain his eyes.

"Where is the auction house?"

You XiaoMo asks curiously. But he feels a little doubtful that the Raging fire horse will really be
able to bring them right to their destination. He never knew that horses can tell the way. But he also
knows that the animals of Long Xiao continent can't be explained with common sense.
"At the end of this street."

Ling Xiao replies.

You XiaoMo is just about to push open the beaded curtain when the horse carriage comes to an
abrupt stop. A moment of inattention, and the whole person flies forward. Just when he is about to
tumble out, Ling Xiao's large hand catches hold of him and scoops him up.

You XiaoMo is sprawled in his embrace, still feeling flustered but before he can ask what
happened, Ling Xiao says over his head, "We've reached the auction house."

Saying that, Ling Xiao carries him and jumps out of the horse carriage.

Amidst the surging crowds at the end of the street, the sight of a man appearing carrying another
man, even though the one being carried is a young man that appears rather small and thin, it still can't
change the fact that he is a man.

Feeling the surprised looks coming from all sides, You XiaoMo blushes and quickly jumps out of
Ling Xiao's arms.

Chapter 103

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Appraising treasures.You XiaoMo raises his head and sees the gigantic auction house towering in
front of him. He can't help but gasp in amazement.

This auction house is really too big. Even the Olympic games' iconic structure 'Bird's Nest' is not
as big as this Big Mac in front of his eyes. At that time he made a special trip there to see the Olympic
games. Then he was shocked by the grandness and size of the Bird's Nest. Now, looking at the auction
house of HunJi city, he realizes that there's just no comparison between these two things.

The Bird's Nest is not even half the size of the auction house. Furthermore, the building material is
obviously not something ordinary. Completely constructed with black-colored stone. It isn't clear how
many years it has been but there is no sign of wear and tear on the surface.

The name of this Big Mac is the Seven Stars auction house. It is said that it is backed by HunJi
city's master, a very strong and powerful ace. Under his command are many strong soldiers and
valiant generals. That's why no one has ever dared to stir up trouble at the Seven Stars auction house.

Outside the door of the Seven Stars auction house, there are twenty or so guards equipped with
sharp weapons and dressed in black uniforms. Their eyes are penetrating like hawks, constantly fixed
on the people coming and going on the street as well as the people going in and out of the auction
house. You XiaoMo can faintly feel the power oozing out them, his amazement showing in his eyes.
These people are really impressive. No wonder this is Long Xiao continent's third largest city.
Behind its prosperity is a powerful leader.

When they appear, seven or eight out of the twenty or so black-clothed guards set their eyes on
them. Accurately speaking, they fall on Ling Xiao. As for the puny You XiaoMo, he is completely
ignored by them.

After getting off the carriage, Ling Xiao strokes the Raging fire horse near its ear and says softly,
"Go. Find a place on your own and wait."

With those words, the Raging fire horse turns the carriage around and gallops towards the city gate.

You XiaoMo hears the noise and turns around to witness this scene. He exclaims and is about to
rush over to bring back the Raging fire horse when Ling Xiao calmly pulls him back.

"Why did you pull me back? The horse got away."

You XiaoMo immediately says anxiously.

"Don't worry, he can't run away."


Ling Xiao consoles him.

You XiaoMo turns around and looks at him, seeming to ponder the truth in his words. But no matter
if it's true or false, it's already too late because the Raging fire horse is gone without a trace.

Under the watchful eyes of the black-clothed guards, Ling Xiao just picks You XiaoMo up and goes
with flow of people into the auction house.

Although the auction has not started there are quite a lot of people coming and going. An endless
stream of people are moving around inside the vast interior. You XiaoMo is still in awe of the
enormous space when Ling Xiao puts him down and pulls him towards the center of the great hall.

Right on top of the center of the great hall is a black screen that seems to be made out of jade. On
the screen, many items are scrolling past. There are magic pills, magic herbs, techniques, and other
items for auction. The lowest is level four. For grand scale auction houses like Seven Stars, low level
magic pills and magic herbs don't qualify to show up here.

You XiaoMo stretches out his head here and there checking out the things on the screen. For others,
these are ordinary things. But for him, these things are precisely what he needs. As for the rare things
that don't show up on the screen, even if he manages to get them, he won't have the opportunity to
enjoy them for now. Furthermore, he is currently a pauper, with only ten or so gold pieces on him.

Ling Xiao takes a sweeping look and his eyes fall on stone room that has a sign that says treasure
appraisal hanging on top. Two burly strong men are standing at the door. Seeing them walk over, they
glance at them before letting them in.

You XiaoMo pops his head out from behind Ling Xiao and looks in amazement at the numerous
closely-spaced small secret rooms. One can faintly see the movement of people inside. This type of
separation will ensure that the people bringing their treasures to be evaluated will not have to show
others the treasures they have. This way, attracting the attention of deceitful and covetous people can
be averted.

Just when he is looking at this, a scantily clad female attendant walks over to them, snow white
breasts on the verge of popping out, the revealing factor not any less than in modern times. The
attendant's eyes sweep past You XiaoMo and finally locks onto the tall and handsome Ling Xiao,
immediately revealing a flirtatious smile. She says in a voice that makes the listener weak-kneed:
"The two sirs are here to appraise treasures or to submit items for auction?"

Ling Xiao just replied with a word when he sees You XiaoMo looking at the attendant with a
stunned expression. He is immediately displeased and frowns. The attendant thinks that Ling Xiao
doesn't like this manner of speaking so she immediately changes her way of assistance, respectfully
bringing them to a secret room.

When she turns around, Ling Xiao grabs a hold of You XiaoMo and says unhappily, "What are you
looking at?"
You XiaoMo doesn't notice his expression, exclaiming, "I didn't expect that the women over
here would be so open. I had thought they would be more conservative. Too shocking!"

"So, you like this type of woman?"

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes and asks softly.

"How is that possible!"

You XiaoMo refutes without thinking. He then adds, "I still prefer rather innocent ones with
pretty eyebrows. This one is too racy. I don't like it."

When he hears him refute loudly, Ling Xiao's expression immediately softens considerably. But
before he can be happy for a few seconds, he hears what he continues saying. Immediately dense
dangerous storms emerge and yet a certain person still fails to realize what is happening.

"You like innocent ones with pretty eyebrows?"

Ling Xiao hugs him tightly next to him. His breath is clearly scorching hot but the words are cold
and sinister, freezing three inches deep. From his words, he deduces that pretty eyebrows are
referring to women.

A certain obtuse young man finally realizes. He raises his head and sees Ling Xiao smiling very
sweetly. Even the eyes are smiling. It's just that it is a rather black smile. Immediately alarm bells
start ringing in You XiaoMo's heart.

It's the end. The end. He has never seen Ling Xiao smile like this ever since he met him. The
twenty-first century has Black Friday. Ling Xiao has Black Smile .......

"El ....... Elder brother Ling, we ....... should go in ....... "

You Xiao trembles in fear as he speaks. The little man in his heart sheds tears in his place. What
happened this time? Tears!

Ling Xiao smiles slightly, "You still haven't answered my question."

The horror. Compared to when he watched horror films, this smile makes him feel even more
terrified. Good grief. He has an inkling that this smile will probably scare him his whole life. Now
looking at him smiling like that, his heart is seized with fear.

"That ....... you've misunderstood ....... "

You XiaoMo swallows, his eyeballs turning round and round as he tries his hardest to find a way
out.

"What did I misunderstand?"


Ling Xiao narrows his eyes.

You XiaoMo's eyes turn round and round as he says nervously, "What I meant by like, is actually
....... actually means appreciate. That's right. I mean appreciate. Just now you also saw. That
attendant dressed so revealingly, to the point of indecency, offending the eyes. This type of
woman, no one will like them ba. So, one that is rather innocent is better. At least it won't get
out of hand ....... "

Ling Xiao raises his brows and looks at him for half a day, narrowing his eyes, "Is that right?"

You XiaoMo wipes a handful of sweat as he nods his head in affirmation, "Of course."

How could he dare to say that's not it? If he were to really shake his head and say that, Ling Xiao
would strike him dead. His budding life is just about to blossom. He doesn't want to die so soon!

"There is indeed some truth in your words ....... "

Ling Xiao puts away his threatening look, his handsome face finally recovering his original fake
gentleness. He pats him lightly on the shoulder and beams while saying, "I'll let you go this time."

You XiaoMo sniffs tragically, almost overwhelmed with gratitude. Heaven knows that the amount
of cold sweat dripping down today is equal to the sum of all of that before.

The two of them walk into the secret room that the attendant pointed out to them. You XiaoMo
immediately closes the door eagerly. The door of the secret room is made out of iron. It's very thick,
able to block out sound, preventing people from eavesdropping on the outside.

The secret room is not big. Right in the middle an old grey-haired man is standing. The old man is
dressed in black robes. His face is covered with deep wrinkles but his eyes are gleaming shrewdly.
Right now his penetrating stare is sizing them up.

You XiaoMo discovers that this old man seems to be a mage. As for why he knows, it's because he
can feel the latter's soul is rather strong. Martial artists are not mages. They have no way to train the
soul so their souls are a little weaker when compared to mages.

"Please take a seat."

The old man points to the two chairs in front of the table. After sitting down, he says calmly, "The
treasure that the two sirs would like to appraise. You can take it out now."

You XiaoMo sits down and then takes out a block of ice that is the size of a head from his magic
bag, and puts it on the table.

The old man expected them to bring out magic pills and the like. Suddenly what looks like a block
of ice appears so he can't help but narrow his eyes. Although he is a little surprised, but things that
can be auctioned must be quite extraordinary. But when his soul force senses the block of ice, his
body shivers fiercely. Immediately his eyes widen, "This is ....... "

The old man brings the block of ice under his nose and sniffs. His face changes, "This is spiritual
liquid?"

Spiritual liquid, this type of treasure, is an extremely rare thing in Long Xiao continent. Because it
can immediately renew the spiritual strength of martial artists, if in the midst of battle, this type of
thing is equivalent to a life saving magic pill. It's something martial artists crave so much that they
even dream about it. It has always been something that is priceless yet no one wants to sell.

You XiaoMo nods, "This is only a small piece. Please take a look and determine what price it
can be auctioned at."

The old man calms down the excitement on his face and takes another careful look. He ponders for
a bit before saying, "This is indeed spiritual liquid. But it is not pure. There are a quite a bit of
impurities inside. It needs to be refined before using. But like this, this size will only result in on
drop of actual spiritual liquid. According go the estimation guidelines of HunJi city, one drop of
spiritual liquid is at least one hundred thousand."

You XiaoMo immediately tastes all the five flavors .......

A block of this size can only yield one drop of actual spiritual liquid. But what gives him comfort
is that the price of one drop is a hundred thousand. This sum exceeds his expectation. He thought that
it would be ten thousand at the most.

Notes:pretty eyebrow - pretty girl

all the five flavors - all sorts of feelings

Chapter 104

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

A stupid pig.Seeing his expression, the old man thinks that he is not satisfied with this price, so he
explains, "Although spiritual liquid can replenish the spiritual energy, but the stronger the
martial artist, the more spiritual liquid is needed. For example a Moon level martial artist. One
drop of spiritual liquid can only replenish one fifth of their spiritual energy. For the higher
ones, even more is required."

Even though it is only one fifth, but in a moment of crisis, it can still provide some safety. That's
why the price is not less than one hundred thousand. Furthermore, since it will be sold by auction,
when the time comes, no one knows how high the price would go.

You XiaoMo nods his head as if he understands. He is not very familiar with the world of martial
artists. But he knows the different levels of martial artists. They are divided into: Man level, Earth
level, Sky level, Sun level, Moon level, Star level, Celestial level, Spiritual level, Imperial level,
Emperor level, Divine level and Sacred level. Twelve levels altogether, similar to the twelve levels
for mages.

Anyway, this means that this price is not considered low.

Seeing that he doesn't disagree, the old man heaves a sigh of relief. Actually, things like spiritual
liquid is not something that anyone would give up for auction. Most people would keep it for their
own use. That's why it is priceless yet never sold.

"The price assessment is complete. How many drops would you like to put up for auction?"

You XiaoMo also doesn't say much. He simply takes out two ice sculptures the size of a person out
from his magic bag. The cold air that is released by the ice sculptures immediately increases the
moisture level in the secret room but there is not much change in the temperature.

The old man's eyes open wide when he brings them out, his face completely stunned. He thought
that this young man would at most bring out five to six drops of spiritual liquid. Didn't expect that it
would be such a big ice sculpture. And there are two of them.

The old man makes clicking noises with his mouth. Although he is used to seeing treasures, he is
still shocked. After some hesitation, he says, "Two ice sculptures can probably produce ninety
drops of spiritual liquid. But the old me suggests that it would be better for the two sirs to first
refine this spiritual liquid before auctioning them off."

"Why is that?"

You XiaoMo asks immediately.


"Because only mages can refine it. Even if the martial artists win the auction, they still have
to find a mage to help them refine it, adding one extra step in the process. The one hundred
thousand price can only be reduced to ninety thousand. But this should be done as soon as
possible because the auction is tomorrow."

The old man strokes his beard, with a gleam in his eye.

You XiaoMo frowns. It's just refining and the price drops by ten thousand. This seems wrong. It's
better if he just does it himself but there is only half a day left. After this he still wants to go buy other
things with Ling Xiao. There doesn't seem to be enough time. What should he do?

You XiaoMo looks helplessly at Ling Xiao, putting on a pitiful look.

Ling Xiao receives the message and can't help but smile. Then he looks at the old man and smiles
knowingly, "Just say it out ba."

The old man hesitates and coughs. Clearly he can't get past this man. If this man wasn't here, he
would be able to find a way to trick the young man at his side. One look and it's obvious that the
young man is completely clueless when it comes to auctions. But it's not the same with this man. He
feels that he won't be able to get anything past him, so he says, "The old me can find someone to
help the two sirs. But when it's done, hopefully three drops of spiritual liquid would be given as
repayment."

You XiaoMo immediately makes the calculations. Three drops of spiritual liquid is three hundred
thousand. Although that is just the base price, but if he auctions it off without refining, he will lose
nine hundred thousand. Counting this way, it is more worth it to get someone to refine it before the
auction.

"Elder brother Ling, this is acceptable ....... "

You XiaoMo lightly tugs on Ling Xiao's sleeve.

Ling Xiao raps him on the head impatiently. It's clear from his expression what he is thinking. He
thinks that he is the one that is getting a deal. The reality is there is no loss to the other person. Some
people won't be able to get one drop of spiritual liquid even after spending one million.

"Two drops."

Ling Xiao says with no room for negotiation in his tone.

The old man seems to have expected this reply so he answers without hesitation, "Deal. But eighty
eight drops of spiritual liquid is not a small number. Would the two sirs like to divide them into
two or three batches for the auction?"

Ling Xiao smiles meaningfully, "No need. Auction it all off in one go."
The old man is stunned for a moment. Then he shakes his head smiling wryly. He can almost see it.
Tomorrow's auction will be very fierce. Eighty eight drops of spiritual liquid is not a small number. If
one wins the auction, it can guarantee one's life in battle. Those powerful forces will definitely not let
go of this excellent opportunity.

Then the old man takes out a black and gold tablet that is made out of emerald jade from under the
counter. He hands it over to Ling Xiao, "This is our Seven Stars auction house status card.
Because the two sirs are auctioning over five million, it is enough to reach our distinguished
guest level. This is the seat number. When the time comes the two sirs will just have to take a
seat according to this number. On top of that, this tablet can also be used at all the auction
houses and shops under the Seven Stars banner."

Not waiting for Ling Xiao to stretch out his hand, You XiaoMo eagerly takes that tablet.

The black and gold tablet looks very distinctive. On it is drawn seven five-pointed stars. It makes
him think of the mall member discount cards. This tablet must be the same as those discount cards and
the like. Just nice, he can try it out in little bit.

The old man unconsciously glances at Ling Xiao. The latter's expression is all gentle and elegant.

He can perceive that this young man is only a low level mage. Maybe not even level two. But the
man together with him, he has no way of telling his power. For a level four mage like him to not be
able to perceive, this person can not be any less than Moon level.

A person of this strength actually allows a low level mage to act so presumptuously in front of him.
Clearly their relationship is quite extraordinary.

After sending the two of them off, the old man immediately calls over the attendant from before. He
tells her to not let anyone disturb him for the next few hours before returning back to the secret room
and locking the door securely.

Spiritual liquid is a good thing. Although it is just two drops, he does not plan on giving this
opportunity away to anyone else. Because other then replenishing a martial artist's spiritual energy, it
has an even bigger use. That is to increase the rate of success in refining magic pills and the quality of
the magic pills. Especially for high level magic pills. The rate of failure is so high that most mages
are unable to bear it. But it's different when spiritual liquid is used. One just needs to pour in one
drop of spiritual liquid when refining, and it will increase the rate of success by ten percent. Such a
high rate of success, every mage will find it attractive.

Coming out of the auction house, You XiaoMo looks into the distance while standing at the side of
the street. He doesn't find any trace of the Raging fire horse.

Ling Xiao has no intention of calling the Raging fire horse, simply walking towards the stream of
people.

You XiaoMo hesitates for a moment and then runs to catch up. He finally figures it out. From now
on they can only use their own two legs to get around. The things he wants to buy is quite a lot. It is
really not convenient to be taking a carriage to find those shops.

The street they are on is HunJi city's busiest street. The number of people is more than two times
that of the other streets. Although the street is already very wide, two to three times that of HePing
town, it is still packed with people. A moment of inattention would result in bumping into other
people.

Terrified of being separated by the surging crowd, a pair of lively eyes are looking randomly in all
directions.

Although Ling Xiao doesn't turn around, he can still guess what he looks like now. His lips start to
curve up knowingly. He then stops in his tracks, and the person behind immediately crashes his head
onto his back. Turning around he sees him looking resentful, rubbing his nose. Just when he is about to
say something, an uproar suddenly erupts in front of them.

"Get aside! If you don't want to die, give way for the great me!"

A group of people with sharp swords at their waist, with fierce and ruthless faces suddenly rush
out from among the surging crowd.

The leader is a rather chubby person. From the faint aura from his body, it is possible to tell that
this middle aged man should be of Moon level strength.

At this moment, this group of people are walking menacingly in their direction.

You XiaoMo pokes his head out from behind Ling Xiao. One look and his eyes open wide. He
actually recognizes a few people behind that middle aged man. Because not long ago, they met outside
the city gates. He quickly withdraws his head, terrified that he would be recognized by them.

What he forgets is that those people have a deeper impression of Ling Xiao than of him. On top of
that, Ling Xiao's presence is extraordinary becoming the point of attention while standing in a crowd
of people. Those few people already catch sight of him when they were still ten over meters away.

"Boss, that's him!"

"That's right. He's the one that injured the second boss."

Several people strive to be the first to point out Ling Xiao. They no longer appear fearful, actually
seeming quite pleased. The looks directed at Ling Xiao appear more aggressive and sinister. Dare to
touch people of the Wolf fang gang? Today we will definitely demand a hundred

fold repayment in thanks.

Very quickly, twenty over men rush to the front of Ling Xiao. The middle aged man stops three
meters away. He holds a large axe in his arm as he walks forward a few steps. The flesh on his face
shakes menacingly as he says sinisterly, "You are the ones that injured my second brother?"
Second brother? You XiaoMo pokes his head out again and looks him up and down a few times. He
mumbles, "No resemblance at all ma."

Ling Xiao hears his mumbling and lowers his head, looking at him with laughter in his eyes. Then
he moves his line of sight to the middle aged man, smiling while saying, "Excuse me. I don't know
your second brother. But not long ago I actually came across a stupid pig. Don't tell me that he
is your second brother?"

"Pu ....... "

You XiaoMo can't hold back his laughter.

Chapter 105

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Magic pill central workshop."You're asking for death!"

The middle aged man says viciously. He especially hates people calling him a pig. Even an
insinuation is not tolerated. Suddenly his thick brows rise sharply. He lifts up the big axe in his hand
and cuts down ruthlessly at Ling Xiao, bringing with it a momentum that only Moon level martial
artists have. The onlookers all around immediately do all they can to move backwards.

Just when the big axe is about to fall on Ling Xiao's body, a strand of purple flames surge out from
his body. The blazing hot temperature immediately raises the temperature all around considerably.
Much like a fire dragon whooshing and winding around the middle aged man's big axe. In an instant
the axe is burnt into ashes. Then that strand of purple fire shoots violently at the middle aged man .......

That middle aged man doesn't even have time to cry out. That strand of purple flames shoots
through his chest finally changing into tiny sparks and vanishing.

Everyone looks at this scene in horror.

When the purple flames disappear, the middle aged man's body falls to the ground amidst the
shocked cries of the onlookers. Bright red blood gushes out. In just a little bit, there is a pool of blood
on the ground. In the middle aged man's chest is a shocking bloody hole.

Quite a number of people cover their mouths speechlessly. Their terrified gazes fall on the
handsome man who appears so gentle and refined. No one expected that this person that is smiling so
warmly would actually make such a cold-blooded move.

Marching over unhindered for over ten years without once falling down, the leader of the wolf fang
gang, an unquestionable Moon level martial artist, actually falls down dead with one strike from this
man. This misfortune is really too tragic ah.

But this man's skill is so ruthless, with the power of thunder and speed of the wind. This is not
some thing easily witnessed in the peaceful HunJi city. Today, not only is this skill witnessed, it is so
ruthless right from the start. Really making everyone jump in fright.

You XiaoMo also didn't expect it. He swallows with difficulty, raising his head to glance at Ling
Xiao.

He thought that at the most, Ling Xiao would just send them running. He didn't expect him to kill the
middle aged man right away. But he is also not especially surprised. That time in the ice cave, he saw
Ling Xiao strike Elder Jiang dead with one move. He even dares to kill an Elder of TianXin sect.
Who is there that he doesn't dare to kill? Although Elder Jiang was a spy for the demons.
So he had known long ago that Ling Xiao is a very ruthless person. But knowing in his heart is still
a little different from witnessing it with his own eyes.

The few people that were smugly accusing Ling Xiao just a moment ago, having witnessed the
death of their gang leader, are now all pale with fright. Their terrified eyes reflect the slender figure
of Ling Xiao. Their legs are shaking so hard that they are almost unable to stand. Don't even talk about
rushing out to take revenge for their gang leader.

"Take your gang leader's corpse and get out of here ah. Or do you all want to stay here and
accompany your gang leader?"

Ling Xiao looks over at them and speaks in a gentle voice.

All the members of the wolf fang gang are terrified by his gentle voice, making their hair stand on
end. The group of people stumble over to the middle aged man and lift up the corpse of their gang
leader while completely flustered. Then they quickly disappear.

"Alright. Let's go ba."

Ling Xiao looks down and speaks to You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo immediately follows him and dives into the crowd of people, as if nothing happened.
If not for the pool of blood on the ground, a lot of people would think that everything that just
happened was just an illusion. After all, it was too shocking.

Not long after they left, a group of black-clothed guards led by a man rushes over. It's too bad that
they are one step too late. The matter already ended. The people have also left without a trace. If not
for the pool of blood on the ground, with the crowd dispersed after the show is over, he would have
thought that he had just been fed false information.

Walking slowly down the street, You XiaoMo's gaze continuously sweeps across the shops on both
sides of the street.

As the busiest street of HunJi city, the goods that are sold here is more complete than in HePing
town. Every few steps is another magic pill shop or magic herb shop. But these shops are relatively
small. There are people moving around inside but definitely not too many.

You XiaoMo really wants to go in to take a look but Ling Xiao doesn't stop. He also can't just run
in by himself.

After the two of them walk for about a quarter of an hour, You XiaoMo's flickering eyes finally
lock on to the signboard of a huge shop. On the light gold board is written 'Magic pill central
workshop', in large simple characters. Furthermore, on the upper right corner of the sign there are
seven red stars engraved. Clearly this is one of Seven Star's businesses.

This shop is the size of four shops. Compared to the surrounding shops, this shop may be
considered luxurious.

At this moment, Ling Xiao also stops walking, lowering his head to say to him, "It's this one."

You XiaoMo nods somewhat excitedly and follows him into this extraordinary shop. Just stepping
into the shop, a whiff of medicinal fragrance assails his nose. The concentrated fragrance almost
makes him sneeze. After taking a careful look, his eyes are filled with wonder.

The inside of the Magic pill central workshop is very huge. Everything is criss-crossed but the
transparent display cases are placed in an ordered manner. The cases seem to be made of crystal,
similar to the modern glass display cases. But the display cases here are clearly much stronger than
glass cases. Faint spiritual energy drifts up from the surfaces. Not only are there magic pills of
various levels inside, there are also quite a lot of magic herbs.

It's possible that the display cases can lock in spiritual energy, so there is no sign of decay of the
magic herbs inside. It attracts a lot of people to stop and look. There are also quite a few people
standing by the other cases. Sounds of conversation can be heard all around.

You XiaoMo takes a look, his drool almost flowing out. The magic pills and magic herbs are
mostly mid level and medium quality. Most are level four to level six, all are quite common ones. As
for low level magic pills and magic herbs, there doesn't seem to be any. Clearly big medicine
workshops are not the same.

But when he sees the price written on top, the corners of his eyes can't help twitching. Too
exorbitant. One stalk of level four magic herb is actually forty thousand gold coins. And it's only
medium quality. If it is high quality, would it then be fifty to sixty thousand gold coins?

This type of business is too much of a rip-off, too profitable. He is envious!

After taking a look, he looks away feeling depressed.

He thinks about how much money he got when he sold magic pills in HePing town. It's not even one
tenth the price of one stalk of level four magic herb. It's really a huge blow to him. But at the same
time, he thanks his lucky stars, thankful that he can grow his own. If not he wouldn't be able to buy it
even if he sold himself.

He had heard Elder brother saying before, that although being a mage is a profitable profession, it
also burns through a lot of money. Seeing this now, it's clearly not false ah!

"My two sirs, do you need help with anything?"

A female attendant dressed in simple white clothes walks towards them. Her calm gaze sweeps
across the both of them, before finally, as everyone expects, settling on Ling Xiao in a respectful
manner.

Ling Xiao doesn't immediately answer her. Instead he looks over to You XiaoMo when she speaks.
He still remembers what his Little brother said in the Seven Stars auction house. But when he looks
over, not only is he not looking at the attendant, he is poking his head here and there looking at who
knows what. Only then does he look away in satisfaction.

"Do you take magic pills here?"

The attendant freezes for a moment before nodding her head modestly, "We do. But on the second
floor. Will the two sirs please follow me."

Then You XiaoMo is led by Ling Xiao up to the second level following after the attendant.

The second floor of the Magic pill central workshop is not as luxurious as the first floor. Rather it
has a simple and plain atmosphere, mostly in plain white. The middle of the great hall is similarly
filled with transparent crystal display cases. Inside the cases are jade boxes that mostly contain magic
herbs. But what is surprising is that these magic herbs are actually top quality, emitting faint white
rays. One look and it's obvious that they are not ordinary magic herbs.

No wonder this is the biggest magic pill shop in HunJi city. It seems they have quite a bit of assets.

There are quite a few people standing scattered in the middle of the hall. From their bodies, You
XiaoMo can feel their powerful souls. They are all mages. But this is only to be expected since
people who buy magic herbs are mostly mages.

The attendant brings them to an old man dressed in black robes and then explains the situation.

The old man waves off the attendant and looks towards the both of them. This time You XiaoMo is
finally the object of attention. After all, only mages will sell magic pills. Martial artists won't come to
sell magic pills. They don't even have enough for their own use.

"What magic pill does this Little brother want to sell? But let the old me say this first, Magic
pill central workshop will not accept ordinary magic pills."

The old man speaks lightly. He raises this point because he can see that You XiaoMo is a low level
mage. The magic pills a low level mage can refine is restricted. Level one to level three without
exception. And it's mostly low grade. Magic pill central workshop does not accept low grade magic
pills.

You XiaoMo also understands what he means. He doesn't say much but just brings out five bottles
of magic pills from his magic bag and places them in front of him.

The old man picks up one of the bottles. Immediately after opening the bottle, a burst of strong
medicinal fragrance is detected. The smell that assails the nose makes the expression on the old man's
face change slightly. He immediately pours out one pill. A perfectly round yellow gold colored magic
pill rolls out from the mouth of the bottle into his palm. From the magic pill's color and scent, it is all
first class. Shockingly, it is a top grade level two magic pill.

The old man then takes a closer look at the bottle. They are actually fifty or so pills inside. Then he
looks at the other four bottles of magic pills one by one. They are all also top grade level two magic
pills, also fifty pills per bottle. A look of amazement quickly wells up in the old man's eyes.

"These ....... were all refined by you?"

The old man stares at You XiaoMo with shock and amazement.

He can hardly imagine that this person that he feels does not have a powerful soul, and is not more
than seventeen or eighteen years or age, is actually a level two mage. Most importantly, he actually
refined two hundred and fifty top grade magic pills.

It must be said that although Magic pill central workshop is the biggest magic pill shop in HunJi
city, it still can't bring out two hundred and fifty top grade magic pills at one time. Also, where did he
get so many top quality magic herbs?

One huge sum."It's not important who refined them. Is the Magic pill central workshop going
to accept them or not?"

You XiaoMo is just about to answer when Ling Xiao stretches his hand out in front of him and
stops him. He looks up to see him calmly looking at the old man with narrowed eyes, his expression
rather sharp, as if wanting to look through the old man's skin.

The old man tries to cover up his slip up with a soft cough, and says seriously, "These magic pills,
even though they are level two magic pills, they are definitely not ordinary. The quality is also a
little better than normal top grade magic pills. How about this ba, three of the bottles are
common magic pills, with small markets. I will give you the price of five hundred gold pieces for
each pill. The other two bottles are comparatively special for level two magic pills. So I will give
you six hundred for each pill. Do the two of you have any objections?"

"That will do."

Ling Xiao nods as he speaks.

You XiaoMo feels extremely pleased as he calculates, three bottles of five hundred gold pieces is
seventy five thousand, two bottles of six hundred gold pieces is sixty thousand. Altogether he gets one
hundred and thirty five thousand gold pieces. Deducting the cost of the magic herb seeds, he earned a
lot.

Seeing that the they don't object, the old man just counts out a heavy pouch of gold coins and gives
it to them.

You XiaoMo takes the pouch of gold coins, his arms feeling the weight, almost failing to hold on to
it. He quickly puts it into his magic bag gleefully. Level two magic pills are clearly much better than
level one magic pills. Two hundred and fifty pills selling for one hundred over thousand. The
depression he felt downstairs from the price of one stalk of level four magic herb immediately
disappears.

Only now does he have the sense of becoming a truly rich person.

Holding his nice and warm magic bag, You XiaoMo remembers another matter. Coincidentally this
is a medicine workshop, so they should have what he wants, so he asks, "Old sir, do you sell level
four to level six magic herb seeds here?"

The old man is momentarily stunned, looking him up and down in surprise, saying, "You want to
buy magic herb seeds?"
You XiaoMo nods, looking at him full of hope, "Yes, does this workshop have that for sale?"

Such a large medicine workshop. If even they don't have it, the chance that the other magic herb
shops have it is even smaller.

The old man strokes his beard, pondering for a moment. A strange gleam flashes across his eyes.
He hesitates for a bit before saying, "Yes we do have but definitely not much. I suppose the two of
you also know the higher the level of the magic herb seeds, the less buyers there are. So, even a
big medicine workshop like Magic pill central workshop won't have too much stock."

You XiaoMo is already very excited the moment he hears the word yes. As for whether there's a lot
or little, that is not a problem for now, "How much stock does old sir have? What is the price?"

"He he, currently, Magic pill central workshop has sixty five types of level four magic herb
seeds. One hundred seeds per type. The price is fifteen thousand. Eighty nine types of level five
magic herb seeds. Fifty seeds per type. The price is thirty thousand. One hundred and twenty one
level six magic herb seeds. Twenty seeds per type. The price is two hundred."

The old man drums his fingers lightly on top of the table, laughing softly.

With every level he describes, You XiaoMo drips a drop of cold sweat. Hearing the last of it, the
sweat just gushes out.

He never expected that mid level magic herb seeds would be so expensive. One level four magic
herb seed is already sixty five thousand. The money he has in his pocket is not even enough to buy
half. Don't even talk about all the seeds altogether adding up to over eight million. Clearly the number
of seeds is getting less and less but the price is getting higher and higher. He'd be better of committing
robbery ne.

You XiaoMo raises his head and looks at Ling Xiao, "Brother ....... "

Ling Xiao rubs his head calmly, and speaks to the old man, "Can we trouble old sir to help us set
these seeds aside? We will come get them tomorrow. Is that alright?"

"He he, of course."

The old man laughs as he nods.

"Then we'll take our leave."

Ling Xiao nods towards the old man and takes You XiaoMo with him, leaving Magic pill central
workshop.

Seeing them leave with his own eyes and listening to their gradually fading footsteps, the old man
seems to be in deep thought, stroking his beard. His gaze again falls on the five bottles of top grade
magic pills on the table. The strange look in his eyes becomes even more apparent. The things these
two people brought out really exceed his expectation.

"Selling off five bottles of top grade level two magic pills in one go. That is not ordinary low
or mid grade magic pills. The number of high quality magic herbs needed is more than seven
hundred stalks. This sum is simply one that is never seen before. However that young man
seems to be not more than seventeen to eighteen years old. At most, barely a level two mage.
Could it be that these magic pills were not refined by him? But looking at that young man's
expression, it seems that he is the one ....... "

The old man mutters to himself. Suddenly a shocked look appears in his eyes. Then he shakes his
head seeming pleased with himself.

But what shocks him the most is that a mage can, with no rhyme or reason, buy so many magic herb
seeds, and adding to that the five bottles of top grade magic pills, the old man feels that he has
discovered something unimaginable. If it is really as he thinks, that is really too much, "No, the
master of the city must be notified. If that young man really has a secret way to cultivate high
quality magic herbs, we definitely can't just sit by and watch. If I can get a hold of that secret
technique, wouldn't that mean that from then on, getting high level magic herbs and magic pills
would be as easy as pie?"

The old man gets more and more excited thinking about it. The seemingly muddy eyes shoot out
rays of excitement, as if he can already see that glorious future. But the man by the young man's side is
a problem .......

Thinking of that, the excitement in the old man's eyes suddenly calms down. Looks like he has to
find away to get rid of that man.

At that moment, You XiaoMo is crestfallen with his head lowered as he leaves the Magic pill
central workshop.

When he entered the Magic pill central workshop, he was full or interest and in high spirits. When
he leaves the place, those feelings has been flung all the way to Java country. He makes a rough
calculation. Deducting the money needed to buy the magic herb seeds, the rest is not enough for him to
buy a good cauldron. This trip down the mountain, he actually has two main goals. That is to buy mid
level magic herb seeds and cauldron.

If the gold coins from the auction is not enough, he can only buy a little less magic herb seeds.

Just as he is deep in thought, his head is rapped by a large hand, almost causing him to fall down
the stairs of the Magic pill central workshop. There is no need to think who it is. You XiaoMo
immediately glowers at Ling Xiao, "Elder brother Ling, why did you hit my head this time?"

The corners of Ling Xiao's lips lifts as he smiles. He pinches both of his cheeks, "Little brother,
you are really cute ei. Do you actually think that eighty eight drops of spiritual liquid will not
exceed eight million? If you really think so, then why bother putting them up for auction?"
You XiaoMo's cheeks feel somewhat painful from being pinched. He quickly pulls his hands away
and covers his reddened cheeks and takes a few steps to the side. He puts on a fierce look and glares
at him saying, "A gentleman uses his mouth, and not his fists. But ....... is what you just said
really true?"

Right after his first sentence, the later words exposes his real thoughts, with the two black eyes
widely open, clearly full of hope. Ling Xiao can't help but smile, again stretching his evil claws
towards him.

In order to get away from the evil claws, You XiaoMo takes a few more steps backwards, making
him bump accidentally into someone who was behind him that was just about to go into the Magic pill
central workshop. That person unconsciously pushes back at him, pushing him back into Ling Xiao's
arms.

Catching the You XiaoMo that flies on his own accord into his arms, Ling Xiao can't help but feel
amused. How can this person be so lovable ne!

"Ok, ok, I won't tease you anymore. Let's talk seriously."

Ling Xiao holds down You XiaoMo that is trying to struggle out of his embrace, "As for the
auction price of the spiritual liquid, the price that the old man gave you is only the base price.
What is important is the final price. Valuable things like spiritual liquid, the final price can only
be double. There is no need to doubt that the powerful forces won't take the bait."

"Really, it can double?"

You XiaoMo raises his head and looks doubtfully at him. It's not that he likes to doubt him but Ling
Xiao always likes to make fun of him and tease him, so he has to be a little cautious.

"If you don't believe it, you just have to wait for the start of tomorrow's auction and you will
see."

Ling Xiao also doesn't explain much.

Even if you have not seen a pig run, you have still eaten one before.

You XiaoMo feels that there is some truth to what Ling Xiao says. In his previous life, he seems to
have vaguely seen auctions and the like on TV. Those rich people, when they see something they like,
each one of them will bid vigorously, so the price can double very easily.

After finally throwing off the burden of poverty, the single-celled organism that is You XiaoMo
finally regains the ability to move again.

This time it's finally You XiaoMo's turn to pull Ling Xiao to the other shops. There are still a lot of
things he wants to buy. For now, he doesn't have enough money to buy a good cauldron. So he decides
to go to the wooden furnishings shop first to buy some wooden racks.
The wooden furnishings shop of HunJi city are more luxurious than those of HePing town. The
wood that is used to manufacture the furnishings are of the best quality, all made of twenty to thirty
year old wood. The workmanship is both fine and has beautiful aesthetics. Especially the outer
contours, carved into exquisite patterns, very visually attractive. But one of the very best wooden
racks costs fifteen gold pieces. Although it is several times more expensive than those sold in HePing
town, You XiaoMo still buys a hundred or so.

On top of that, he also asked the manager for materials to build a wooden hut. He also buys two
hundred barrels to use when diluting magic water. In one go, he spends several tens of thousands of
gold coins, making his heart ache unbearably.

After coming out of the wooden furnishings shop, the two of them make one round in every
direction, only looking for a place to spend the night when the sun is just about to set.

Seven Stars tower is the largest hotel in HunJi city. Because the auction will be held tomorrow, a
lot of people that are here to take part in the auction will choose to stay at the Seven Stars tower.
Especially those with the distinguished guest status card. They only have to show this card to stay free
of charge in the Seven Stars tower.

Notes:Java country - the island of Java is far away

Even if you have not seen a pig run, you have still eaten one before - even though you have not
experienced it personally, you can still guess how it will be

single-celled organism - simple minded

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Taking petty advantage."Would the guests like to stay for the night or dine?"

The manager that was just settling accounts at the counter immediately puts on a smile when he sees
You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao walking in from outside.

You XiaoMo says that it is the former and the manager shows an apologetic face, "My two guests,
I'm sorry but today the Seven Stars tower is only accepting those that will be participating in the
auction. If the two of you are not going to participate in the auction, you can only look for
another hotel. I am really sorry about this."

The manager actually speaks sincerely, with a good attitude. But if it's someone with an especially
bad temper, they probably would be all up in arms. But the ones behind Seven Stars tower is the
Master of HunJi city. If one wants to make a fuss here, one still has consider one's own worth
beforehand.

You XiaoMo hears these words and immediately remembers the distinguished guest status card in
his pocket. He then rummages through his magic bag and a black distinguished guest status card
appears in his hand.

Seeing him show the distinguished guest card, the manager is momentarily stunned before quickly
inviting them respectfully and reverently to the main rooms on the second floor.

The black card is a level two distinguished guest card. The people that can have this card are all
with over five million in assets. These two people hold the level two distinguished guest card so they
are clearly people of extraordinary background.

When the two figures disappear into the mouth of the stairs to the second floor, some of the people
seated in the main hall finally turn green with envy.

It's not only the manager that recognizes that distinguished guest card. A lot of people in the main
hall also recognize it because ninety percent of them will be participating in the auction tomorrow. It's
just that the people that are able to get a distinguished guest card is very few.

Although HunJi city is a prosperous city, but the people taking part in the auction are not
necessarily rich. A lot of them are just attracted to the famous event. Some of them can't even get the
level three distinguished guest card.

"His mom really has money, level two distinguished guest card is only for those that auction
over five million ah!"

A skinny and rather leery man looks at the direction where the two of them disappear while licking
his lips. He finally can't stop himself from cursing. His face seems unhappy but his eyes are mostly
green with envy.

The important thing is that the distinguished guests seats are much better than the hard seats. On top
of that, it is easy to see the items on auction. That's why a lot of people want to get the distinguished
guest card. Otherwise, you will only be able to see the price of the items on auction. But a level three
distinguished guest card is only for those with over two million.

The skinny man's voice is not soft. There are two tables of people next to him. Looking at their
dressing, they seem to be together.

At one of the tables, is an especially eye-catching woman. The woman is dressed in a flame red
dress. Her full and slender hour-glass figure is faintly visible wrapped up under the red dress. Really
provocative, attracting the surrounding men to look over in her direction over and over again. Their
leers are rather bare-faced but the woman acts oblivious. Her seductive eyes are looking in the
direction of where You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao disappears with an unreadable expression.

The old man at her side sees her expression and can't help asking, "Young miss, can it be that you
are interested in those two?"

"Those two people seem to be a little interesting."

A slight smile is on the woman's lips as she puts down the wine glass. She doesn't deny it.

"Even if they are very interesting, we still can't provoke them."

The old man says seriously.

"What makes you think so?"

The woman asks in reply, showing much interest.

"The young boy holding the card is indeed very weak. Not worthy of mention. But the man
with him is rather unreadable. The old me is unable to figure out his level. Furthermore, you
saw for yourself, the Seven Stars distinguished guest card is not for just anyone. Those people
probably have some backing. It's better not to provoke them."

The old man speaks earnestly.

"Elder Yun, you are clearly lauding the spirit of others while belittling that of our own."

The woman smirks, her indifferent expression seems to not place any importance on the old man's
words.

"Young miss, you cannot speak like this. This time there are many powerful forces taking part
in this auction. It's not that there are none that are more powerful than XiaoYao sect.
Furthermore, before we set out, the Grand Master already warned me not to let you throw a
tantrum and offend people."

The old man shakes his head.

"Qie"

The woman looks to the side, her gaze still fixed on the second floor. A strange gleam in her eyes.

The old man sees how it is and can only shake his head helplessly.

The manager brings the two of them to a luxurious room. Because the room already has two beds,
he doesn't arrange two rooms for them. He only leaves after seeing that the both of them don't have
any objections.

You XiaoMo walks into the inner room and sees that there are actually two beds. His momentary
surprise turns into wild rejoicing. He thought that there would only be one bed. Before, he didn't ask
for two rooms because he knew that Ling Xiao wouldn't allow it, so he didn't protest pointlessly.

Ling Xiao also walks inside, and after a sweeping gaze doesn't mind that the two beds give such
joy to a certain person. After all, when it is time to sleep, he only needs to pull that person onto the
bed and that would be the end of it.

"Elder brother Ling, should we go back to our original appearance?"

You XiaoMo stands in front of the mirror, looking at the unfamiliar face reflected in the mirror.
This face has obviously been altered.

After the two of them set out, Ling Xiao altered their faces to avoid being recognized and creating
unnecessary trouble. So their faces now are completely different. Even if those close to them like
Zhou Peng and Fang ChenLe were to stand in front of them, they also wouldn't be able to recognize
them.

"No need."

Ling Xiao walks to the tea table and sits down.

You XiaoMo dawdles over and looks at his face, asking cautiously, "Elder brother Ling, the face
you have now, is it your real face?"

Ling Xiao lifts his eyes and glances at him, his lips starting to smile, "You really want to know?"

You XiaoMo immediately moves a few inches back, laughing *hei hei*, "If Elder brother Ling is
willing to tell me ....... "

But seriously, he really is very curious about Ling Xiao's actual appearance. After knowing him for
so long, he still doesn't know what he really looks like. He only knows that he is called Ling Xiao.
Same pronunciation as Brother Lin Xiao's name, so he never had to worry about calling the wrong
name.

"Is that so ....... "

Ling Xiao moves closer to him, looking at him with smiling eyes, "Then I'm unwilling."

You XiaoMo's mouth twitches, " ....... "

Not long after, the waiter brings over steaming dishes for dinner. After finishing dinner, You
XiaoMo calls the guy again and asks him to bring ten plates of after dinner snacks. This is because he
remembers something that he almost forgot. This time down the mountain, there is one more thing that
he wanted to do, that is to stockpile some food.

He is not used to eating Fasting magic pills all the time. Just during times of seclusion when he has
no choice. He is someone that usually places importance on good food. But he doesn't really like the
canteen. Too many people, too many words. On top of that the brothers are always giving him strange
looks so he decided to store up a pile of food in his dimension while on this trip down the mountain.

Since things are free in Seven Stars tower, if he doesn't make full use of it, it would only be a
disservice to himself. Thus You XiaoMo would call the waiter to send up refreshments every half an
hour. Once the waiter leaves, he would immediately pack the snacks into his dimension. In order to
not let the waiter realize what he is doing, he deliberately scatters a few crumbs on the floor, to
provide circumstantial evidence, letting the waiter see when he comes to clear away the plates.

You XiaoMo's actions makes the waiter depressed. He feels that these two people have too much
capacity for food. Perhaps he really is tricked by You XiaoMo so he doesn't realize that the evidence
presented in front of him is actually manufactured.

Ling Xiao, who witnesses the whole process is at first stunned. But after the waiter leaves, he
seizes You XiaoMo and molests him thoroughly, laughing happily *he he*, "Little brother, how is it
that you're getting cuter and cuter ne!"

"Ai yo, you don't mess up my hair la."

You XiaoMo struggles to jump out of his evil claws. This is already the second time he is molested
today. He gets more and more puzzled as to why Ling Xiao likes to rub his head.

At this moment, when most people are already asleep, You XiaoMo wants to ask the waiter to send
up the last round of snacks but he is pulled onto the bed by the impatient Ling Xiao. After having his
resistance subdued by force, You XiaoMo forgets all about his previous plan to sleep on separate
beds.

The next day, You XiaoMo struggles to open his eyes under the glaring sunlight. As is to be
expected, he again slept on top of Ling Xiao's body last night. This time, he very calmly climbs up
and puts on his clothes and washes his face. No matter who it is, if every early morning they wake to
find themselves clinging tightly on top of another man's body, and it's something they did of their own
accord, it is unthinkable if they don't learn to get used to it.

Once he wakes up, Ling Xiao also wakes up. After washing up, they both go downstairs together.

Breakfast is eaten at the main hall on the first floor. With everybody watching, You XiaoMo can
only put away his desire to take petty advantages and eat his breakfast accordingly.

He definitely doesn't know that the manager and the waiter finally heave a sigh of relief when he
didn't ask for more snacks, rejoicing that this ancestor is about to leave. Although the Seven Stars
tower provides free food and drink to those with the distinguished guest card, it still can't withstand
that rate of consumption. If everyone was like him, Seven Stars tower can only look forward to
bankruptcy.

When You XiaoMo leaves, the manager personally sends him off respectfully. His appearance is
like that of someone who just sent off a huge mountain that has been weighing on his shoulders,
appearing extremely relieved and carefree.

Notes:his mom really - damn

ancestor - I'm assuming it's slang for joker or something similar

Chapter 108

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Auction (I)On the way to the Seven Stars auction house, You XiaoMo also buys a lot of food.

After dawdling all the way, they finally reach the auction house before the start of auction. When
they appear again at the entrance of the auction house, the entrance that didn't have many people
yesterday, is suddenly completely clogged up. There's also a lot of chaotic noise, extremely lively.

You XiaoMo's mouth hangs open as he looks at this scene. He is thinking that if he were to squeeze
in there, his already skinny body, would it be squeezed flat? The answer is obvious because that
throng of people are mostly strong and sturdy men.

"Elder brother Ling, how are we going to get in?"

You XiaoMo swallows and throws the question to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao stretches out his hand to him, "Give me that card."

You XiaoMo is momentarily stunned and then quickly hands over the black card to him, really
curious to see his next move.

After Ling Xiao takes the card, he simply walks towards another entrance. There are relatively less
people there. Also, that entrance is guarded by four powerful strong men. From their aura, one can
sense that that they are Sky level strength. The four of them allow Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo to
enter.

Some people see what they did so they want to turn around and follow them in. The four strong men
immediately bar them from following. Those people can only rub their noses resentfully and go back
to squeezing into the flow of people.

The passageway is somewhat dim and seems to be winding upwards, as if going to the second
floor.

You XiaoMo follows closely behind LIng Xiao. At the last turn, the narrow passageway suddenly
opens up. An incomparably gigantic auction house appears in front of him. Although he is mentally
prepared, he is still shocked when seeing it with his own eyes.

Below are numerous closely spaced seats made out of white colored stone, giving off a bright and
luxurious feel. In front is a big auction platform made out of white crystal. Dazzling and crystal clear,
seeming dreamlike.

You XiaoMo's first impression is extravagance. Just when he is looking at this scene in amazement,
a pretty female attendant walks towards them, and asks respectfully, "My two sirs, may I ask which
seat number do you have?"

Ling Xiao lets the girl take a look at the black card in his hand. The attendant immediately nods and
brings them to their spacious and luxurious seats. Level two distinguished guest seats are carved out
of blue crystal. Thick and fluffy wool coverings are spread on top. Sitting on it feels especially soft
and cozy. Also, the seats are relatively closer to the auction platform. One can easily take in almost
the whole scene.

You XiaoMo unabashedly occupies one of the seats and starts looking all over in high spirits.

The seats for the distinguished guests are on the second floor of the Seven Stars auction house. The
nearer the seats are to the auction platform, the higher the level of the distinguished guest card.
Furthermore, because there isn't any covering, everyone can see those sitting on the distinguished
guest seats.

When You XiaoMo is checking out the other people, they are also checking him out. After all, those
that are able to come up to the second floor's distinguished guest seats are all people with power and
prestige. Suddenly a small weak person popping up is really surprising to a lot of people. But when
they see Ling Xiao sitting at his side, most of them no longer feel so surprised.

"Young miss, what are you looking at?"

Elder Yun notices the woman's gaze and asks softly.

"Elder Yun, look. Aren't those two on the opposite side the ones we saw in Seven Stars tower?
I didn't think that we would meet them again so soon. Looks like we are somewhat fated na!"

The woman's pair of lovely and bewitching eyes fix onto the two of them unwaveringly. Does she
actually have interest in them or not?

Elder Yun shakes his head. What fate? Young miss does what she wants. It's just that she will
sometimes engage in some evil interests, even more than men do. Not the least bit like how a woman
should behave.

But it is also because of this that the leader of the sect feels that the young miss is the best person to
inherit the XiaoYao sect. XiaoYao sect doesn't need someone proper that is overly cautious in every
move, so the young miss is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Just when the woman and Elder Yun withdraw their gazes, Ling Xiao suddenly glances over at
them.

The woman's gaze was not blatant but a little reserved and relatively veiled. But it was still
discovered by Ling Xiao. Not only that, he also recognizes the woman and the old man at her side as
guests of the Seven Stars tower. At that time the woman and the old man were in the main hall. At that
time, the woman was also looking at them in the same way.
Ling Xiao raises his brows slightly. Oh well, as long as she doesn't offend him. Then he glances at
You XiaoMo at his side. The latter doesn't realize anything, both eyes shining as he leans on the
railing, checking out the situation below.

With the start of the auction drawing near, more and more people appear in the auction house. No
matter if it is the first floor or the second floor, it seems as if all the seats are occupied. The noisy
conversations gets louder and louder until a clear and melodious sound of a gong suddenly rings out
in the auction hall. All at once, the whole place quiets down considerably, with almost everyone
looking towards the auction platform.

At this time, an old man smiling until his eyes turn into slits is standing at the auction platform. It's
unclear how long he has been standing there. The old man appears amiable but he is nothing short of
Moon level strength. He is today's auctioneer, somewhat famous in HunJi city, recognized by quite a
lot of people.

When the crowd noise diminishes along with the sound of the gong, the old man takes a sweeping
look at everyone seated with his shrewd smiling eyes. He uses a loud and clear voice that can be
heard by everyone to say, "Welcome everyone to HunJi city's auction that is held once every three
years. Old me won't make unnecessary comments. Old me declares that the auction starts now."

Once those words are said, an enthusiastic round of applause is heard in the auction house.

Quite often, auctioneers will start off with a lengthy opening speech. But for the people that are
impatiently waiting to see the items up for auction, this opening speech is extremely annoying. So the
old man is very clever. Clearly he is very experienced. He knows that speaking concisely is what
everyone wants.

A few seconds later, a simply attired female attendant walks onto the auction platform. The
attendant puts down the thing in her hand and leaves. The old man walks over and pulls off the red
cloth cover, revealing a transparent box holding several ten stalks of magic herbs.

"In here are twenty stalks of level four magic herbs and twenty five stalks of level five magic
herbs. I'm sure that you all can tell that these forty five stalks of magic herbs are all peak medium
quality magic herbs. Don't take these herbs as medium quality. It must be said that peak medium
quality magic herbs can produce top grade magic pills. I believe that mages that study refining magic
pills must be very clear on this. So, if you are interested, by all means do not be stingy with the gold
coins in your pocket so as to not miss this chance.

After speaking, the old man looks at everyone seated. Although they are low level magic herbs, he
is not afraid that no one would bid for them. For mages, magic herbs that are able to produce top
grade magic pills is something that they crave for, so much so that they even dream of it. He then
smiles shrewdly and says, "The reserve price is one hundred and fifty thousand. Let us start ba."

The place is quiet for a moment before someone calls out a price. With the first one, of course
comes the second one, and the third one ....... more and more bidding cries are heard.
Because the number of mages participating in the auction is less than martial artists, a few minutes
later, the forty five stalks of magic herbs are won by a level five mage at the price of three hundred
and ten thousand.

You XiaoMo's mouth hangs open as he watches this. Eyes wide and mouth agape, forty five stalks
of medium quality magic herbs can actually fetch such a high price, too lucrative!

He feels that this auction has opened up another door for him to earn money. Seems that he doesn't
have to refine magic pills from the magic herbs. He can just sell off the magic herbs he grows in the
dimension. This is much easier than refining them into magic pills. He actually didn't think of that
before. Such a waste!

The auction progresses rapidly. In under half an hour, a dazzling array of treasures appear on the
auction platform. There are magic herbs, magic pills, suits of armor, weapons, techniques, magic
beasts, and so forth. But because the level is not high, so the ones that are vying for them are those
sitting on the hard seats on the first floor. They have less capital so there isn't a grand show of wealth.

As for those sitting on the distinguished guest seats on the second floor, no one has made a move.
All of them seem to be waiting for the real treasures that come up later. Some are resting with their
eyes closed while some appear to be rather impatient.

You XiaoMo is not the least bit bored. This is his first time at an auction so he is relatively excited.
Taking an interest in everything he sees.

Half an hour later, the auction platform sounds again *ding*. The old man reveals what is on the
tray brought by the attendant. On the tray are shockingly five jade bottles. There's no need to look to
know that it should be magic pills.

You XiaoMo cries out *ai*. His eyes open wide and glisten. He quickly hits Ling Xiao at his side
with one of his hands, "Elder brother Ling, look at that. It looks like the magic pills I sold to
Magic pill central workshop oh."

"Not looks like. Those are the magic pills that you refined."

Ling Xiao turns to glance at him, saying languidly.

"Then why did they bring them out for auction?"

You XiaoMo shakes his head showing that he doesn't understand.

Ling Xiao smiles as he says knowingly, "You already sold it to others. What they do with it is
their business."

You XiaoMo still wants to say something but the old man on the platform starts to explain.

"He he, I believe everyone is very curious to know what magic pills are in here. Old me will
also not keep you in suspense any longer. These are five bottles of level two magic pills ....... "

Just as he says level two, the place starts to buzz. The old man is not surprised, continuing on,
"Everyone must be very curious as to why level two magic pills can be brought up for auction.
These level two magic pills are actually top grade magic pills. Two hundred and fifty pills
altogether. From the color and scent, they are all top grade magic pills of the best quality."

Saying that, the old man simply pours out a few magic pills from the bottle to let them have a look.

One look at the magic pills rolling in the bottles, and waves of commotion rise one after another.

This amount is definitely not small. Furthermore, the quality is that good. No wonder the auction
house decided to put these level two magic pills up for auction. Based on the price for this many
magic pills, it actually barely manages to qualify to get on the auction block.

Seeing that his words bring about quite a lot of reaction, the old man nods in satisfaction. Then he
waves his hand as he says, "If you are interested, don't hesitate. If you miss this opportunity,
there won't be another. We will now start the bidding. The reserve price is one hundred and
thirty thousand."

"One hundred and forty thousand!"

As soon as he finishes speaking, someone immediately raises the first bid.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"One hundred and sixty thousand!"

On the second floor, at the distinguished guest seats, You XiaoMo's jaw falls onto the railing.

Chapter 109

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Enlightened golden cauldron.The ones interested in the five bottles of magic pills are not just the
people on the first floor. There are also some people from the distinguished guest seats on the second
floor that have some interest. In the end, the five bottles of magic pills is won by XiaoYao sect's Mu
Yao at the price of two hundred and fifty thousand.

This price certainly far exceeds the worth of the five bottles of magic pills. But XiaoYao sect likes
to flaunt their wealth, so they most probably can't be bothered with this little bit of money. Seeing that
XiaoYao sect is showing interest, the other people can only give up. Fighting over something with
XiaoYao sect is no doubt like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

You XiaoMo feels that he was cheated out of a huge sum after hearing this price so he simply
slumps in Ling Xiao's arms, looking for comfort, his face full of tears on the inside.

The people of Magic pill central workshop really have black hearts. Buying his magic pills for one
hundred and thirty five thousand, and in a blink of an eye, selling them of for two hundred and fifty
thousand. Just shy of twice the amount. Too black-hearted. He decides to despise them.

Ling Xiao beams as he hugs him, gently stroking his back in consolation.

This scene is inevitably seen by many. Especially the woman in the red dress on the opposite side,
Mu Yao. An inadvertent glance immediately causes her eyes to open wide. A look of surprise flashes
in her eyes. But her thoughts still don't head in that direction. After all, even though this is Long Xiao
continent, there aren't many instances of intimate relationships between men.

The woman in the red dress just feels a little intrigued. The relationship between the two of them is
closer than she imagined.

The price of five bottles of level two magic pills shooting up to two hundred and fifty thousand, the
old man smiles until his eyes can no longer be seen.

After the little surge subsides, the old man starts to auction off other things. He takes the tray that
the attendant brings over, "Ladies and gentlemen, the next item on auction, I believe is something
that a lot of you have been waiting for. This is the level six magic beast thundercloud leopard's
sharp claws and hide. Everyone knows that the thundercloud leopard's claws are incomparably
sharp. It can easily tear apart the body of a Moon level martial artist. As for its hide, if it is used
to make a precious armor, it can withstand an all out hit from a Sun level martial artist."

His last words suddenly move a lot hearts among the people present. Especially those below Moon
level strength. Having the thundercloud leopard's hide and claws, is like having an extra life-saving
charm. Furthermore, if they happen to come across a Moon level martial artist after this, they can
simply use this power in battle.
The old man issues a reserve price of one and a half million. Just as he says this, people
immediately start to throw out their bids.

This is the first time You XiaoMo has heard about magic beasts so he instantly forgets about his
pain. He hangs back over the railing and looks at the pair of claws and hide on the auction platform.

The thundercloud leopard's claw appears black, occasionally emitting rays of light. It's clear that it
is indeed sharp. On the other hand, the hide is silver in color, very beautiful.

You XiaoMo only has half-baked knowledge on magic beasts so he can't tell them apart.

Ling Xiao sees him staring straight at those things, so he thinks that he is interested. A sly look
flashes in his eyes as he asks, "Little brother, you like those things?"

You XiaoMo cries *ah*, and then shakes his head, "I have no use for those things. If it was a
living thundercloud leopard, that would be good."

"Why?"

Ling Xiao asks with his eyebrow raised.

"Because a living one can help me out ah."

You XiaoMo speaks seriously, and then adds in a low voice, "The magic herb field in the
dimension is getting bigger and bigger. Everyday the magic herbs have to be watered. I can't
keep up by myself, so it would be good if there is someone to help me."

"This idea is actually not bad."

After Ling Xiao hears that, he nods, seemingly deep in thought.

While they were conversing, the price already starts to rise above what a lot of people can bear.
Rising to a price of two million four hundred and fifty thousand, instantly causing some very
interested people to give up and withdraw from the fight. The remaining people are all with
considerable capital. But in the end, it is won by JiLe tower at a price of two million and eight
hundred thousand.

JiLe tower is also a strong force in the Southern part of Long Xiao continent, about the same level
as XiaoYao sect. Their strength can't be looked down upon and is also led by a leader that likes to
flaunt their wealth.

The old man brings down the gavel and announces the winner for the claws and hide. He quickly
starts the bidding on the next item. Following the appearance of the level six magic beast, the worth of
the following things slowly get higher. When several stalks of top quality level seven magic herbs
appear, You XiaoMo looks at them with interest. But he has no money. Because the reserve price
alone is eight hundred thousand. Outrageously expensive. He might as well buy the seeds and grow
them himself.

Other than magic herbs, there are also magic pills and techniques, all rare things. But You XiaoMo
doesn't need these things. He is wondering when is his spiritual liquid finally going to show up. But
just as he is losing interest, the old man finally brings out something that moves his heart,
"Enlightened golden cauldron. A cauldron used by mages to refine magic pills. Level six. The
reserve price is four hundred thousand."

Cauldrons are only needed by mages when refining magic pills. But the people competing for it are
not only the few mages on the first floor. The powerful forces on the second floor also have quite a lot
of mages. After all, if a force wants to expand, it is impossible without mages.

With the rising sum or each bid, You XiaoMo gets anxious.

"Elder brother Ling, that cauldron ....... "

You XiaoMo turns to look anxiously at Ling Xiao while pulling on his sleeve.

A level six Enlightened golden cauldron is more attractive to him when compared to techniques
and magic pills. After all, he is also a mage. Although he is only a level two mage, if he is able to win
this cauldron, he wouldn't have to change cauldrons for a very long time after that.

"Don't worry, it's not too late if we put in the last bid."

When the cauldron appeared, Ling Xiao had already predicted that You XiaoMo would be
interested.

Hearing his words, You XiaoMo finally calms down. But his eyes are still glued on the cauldron on
the auction platform.

Luckily the Enlightened golden cauldron is only a slightly higher mid level cauldron. When
XiaoYao sect throws out a bid of nine hundred thousand, a lot of people choose to give up. In the end,
only the few powerful forces remain. One of them is precisely XiaoYao sect's rival, JiLe tower.

"Nine hundred and fifty thousand!"

The man that won the thundercloud leopard's claws and hide earlier, Mu YunTian, speaks up again.
With that, he looks defiantly towards the woman in the red dress, Mu Yao.

He is the disciple of the leader of JiLe tower. Although he is not the biological son, his status in
JiLe tower is still very high. He is also incredibly talented. Already a Moon level martial artist at the
young age of twenty five.

Mu Yao coldly curls up the corners of her lips, and shouts, "One million!"

Mu YunTian frowns. One million already exceeds the true value of the Enlightened golden
cauldron. Raising the bid is somewhat not worth it. Furthermore, he has to conserve his funds to
compete with the other forces for the remaining items. If he uses it now, there won't be enough for
later. Thinking like this, he simply stays quiet.

Seeing this, Mu Yao can't help from snorting.

Elder Yun feels especially helpless at her side. Just to compete over a cauldron with Mu YunTian,
this one million sum is too costly.

"One million and ten thousand!"

The old man sees that there are no other bids, raising the gavel in his hand, and is just about to
bring it down when a languid voice suddenly speaks out. Raising his head to look over, it's also
someone from the distinguished guest seats. It's only that the person raising the bid is somewhat
surprising to everyone because they have not raised a single bid from the start of the auction until
now.

Ling Xiao says to himself, if he still doesn't speak up, his Little brother would probably kill him
with his glare.

As for why he only increased the bid by ten thousand, it's because the auction house minimum is ten
thousand. If it was less, he believes that Little brother would definitely make him offer that lower
limit.

Hearing this voice, Mu Yao looks over to see that the person that raised the bid is one of the two
people she was looking at before, making her a little surprised. Looks like Elder Yun's guess is not
wrong. These two people seem to have some extraordinary backing. Thinking like this, she doesn't
raise the bid. After all, she doesn't really need that cauldron. On top of that, spending one million for
a mid level cauldron is really not worth it.

Everyone expected XiaoYao sect to counter the bid so when they see her fall back, they can't help
feeling surprised. Didn't she just compete with Mu YunTian to the death? And now she actually gives
up so easily. Can it be that she knows that person?

Mu YunTian's face is a little unsightly. That Mu Yao is clearly showing that she is targeting him.

"The sir with number ten raises a price of one million and ten thousand. Is there anyone else
that would like to raise the bid? If not, then the Enlightened golden cauldron would go to the sir
with number ten."

The old man smiles as he asks. He is very pleased with this price. Before this, he estimated that the
highest price would be nine hundred thousand. Seeing no other bids, the old man finally brings down
the gavel.

You XiaoMo tugs on Ling Xiao's sleeve again, with a very conflicted expression.

Why? Because one million and ten thousand is crazy expensive for a cauldron. On top of that, he
just has no money on him.

Ling Xiao strokes his head, soothing his ruffled feathers, saying smilingly, "Little brother, you
don't have to feel so anguished. The auction is already close to the end. Your spiritual liquid will
appear soon. At that time, you will be smiling so much that you would not be able to keep your
lips together. Trust me."

You XiaoMo looks up and glances at him. Fine ba, I'll trust you.

After two hours, the auction finally enters the final stage. It's time for the last three show-stopping
treasures.

One of them is a book of techniques [Miraculous lightning move]. This is a technique for the
body. Practicing this technique can make the body as fast as lightning, a terrifying speed. Some people
said that practicing this technique can let you fight with opponents that are stronger than oneself. In the
event of a loss, one can also depend on this technique to escape. On top of that, this is a top quality
mid level technique. So the moment it appears, the rowdy auction house immediately quiets down
only to erupt a few seconds later with bursts of exclamations.

Countless red hot stares fall on the scroll on the auction platform that is emitting silver rays.
Although it is not a high level technique, but if one can practice this method of escaping with one's
life, then it would be one more way to safeguard one's life. Similar to the miraculous effect of a life-
saving magic pill.

But it's only to be expected. Even big sects like TianXin sect, treat the control sword move, that
mid level technique, as something that can't be revealed to outsiders. It's enough to show how rare
high quality mid level techniques are.

You XiaoMo feels that he can hear the sound of rapid breathing. It's too bad he isn't a martial artist.
So he doesn't feel the excitement they feel. But, after winning the bid for the Enlightened golden
cauldron, he has been smiling non-stop. His eyes curved into crescent moons. Clearly he is in an
especially good mood.

Ling Xiao lowers his head and catches sight of his expression. His mood also becomes free and
lighthearted.

Chapter 110

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Sky high price."How strange, wasn't it two final treasures for this auction? When did it
become three?"

Hearing that there are three final treasures, Mu Yao can't help feeling surprised. The information
she received clearly said two things. She actually has no idea what the new third thing is!

The corner of Elder Yun's mouth twitches visibly, "Young miss, at first there were two treasures.
But one more was added yesterday. I already told you last night, you actually didn't hear me?"

Hearing him bring that up, Mu Yao thinks back. It seems there really was such a thing. She quickly
looks away awkwardly, "Elder Yun, what could that thing be? Actually coming after a high level
technique."

Elder Yun strokes the small tuft of beard on his lower jaw, saying: "Old me sent someone to find
out last night. It's said that it's spiritual liquid."

Hearing the last two words, Mu Yao almost shoots out of her seat. Her eyes showing intense
excitement, "It's really spiritual liquid? How much is there?"

Elder Yun already guessed that the young miss would react this way. He replies while smiling
helplessly, "Old me made some inquiries. The amount of spiritual liquid at this auction is not
less than eighty eight drops. This is no small sum. Because it is auctioned as a single item, the
price will be extremely high. The ones that can afford it are probably only XiaoYao sect, JiLe
tower, and Xue Sha clan."

"That means we can only get one of the three treasures. Elder Yun, is there any news from
father?"

Mu Yao ponders briefly and frowns.

According to her thinking, eighty eight drops of spiritual liquid is worth a lot. Definitely must not
let it go. But if they want that, the final treasure will fall into the hands of JiLe tower or Xue Sha clan.
The reason why XiaoYao sect participated in this auction is for the final treasure. Now with the
appearance of the spiritual liquid, it leaves them with a very difficult decision.

Elder Yun lowers his voice and says gravely, "The leader wants the spiritual liquid."

Mu Yao raises her eyes and glances at Elder Yun's serious expression. A ray of light suddenly
flashes in her eyes. She slowly starts to smile, "I understand, Elder Yun. Then we'll proceed
according to father's wishes."
Elder Yun nods contentedly. The young miss of his house is clearly smart, getting it right away.

When they were talking, the price of that volume of [Miraculous lightning move] already rose to
six million four hundred thousand. A high price invoking the clicking of tongues. But surprisingly the
contenders are not just JiLe tower and Xue Sha clan. There is also an unknown person in black robes.
That person is seated on the hard seats on the first floor. His whole body is wrapped in a black robe,
obscuring the face.

When he jumped into the fight between JiLe tower and Xue Sha clan, everyone looked over at him
in surprise. This black-robed person actually dares to get into the bidding war between JiLe tower
and Xue Sha clan. He really has some guts. But what is even more shocking, is that he seems to have
too much money!

"Elder brother Ling, that person is very rich ah!"

You XiaoMo exclaims enviously.

"Very soon you will also have money. What is there to be so envious about?"

Ling Xiao has never had much interest in gold coins. He also doesn't place much importance on that
because he has never had a need for it.

You XiaoMo glances at him somewhat painfully, "But it will all be spent very quickly."

This is what makes him very depressed. Finally getting a huge sum after all that struggle. There's
not even enough time for it to warm up his pockets before it is completely spent. This kind of feeling
is very complicated.

In the end, [Miraculous lightning move] ended up with the dark horse, finally falling into the
hands of the person that everyone least expects, the black-robed man. He successfully gets that scroll
of physical technique with the exorbitant price of seven million and five hundred thousand, beating
down JieLe tower and Xue Sha clan, leaving them with black faces.

"Who exactly is this black-robed person? Sixth Elder, go find out!"

Mu YunTian looks darkly at the black-robed person who is calmly sitting back down in his seat,
suddenly issuing an order to the person behind him.

Not far away, the representative of Xue Sha clan also issues a similar order. They also want to
know who this black-robed person actually is. Actually daring to snatch from Xue Sha clan. If he
thinks he can take that thing with him, he has to pay the price.

The old man announces the final winner of the [Miraculous lightning move] and finally moves to
second ultimate treasure. Immediately there is a lot of reaction because not everybody can be like
XiaoYao sect, easily obtaining this confidential information. Some people have their channels so they
can get information that others can't, like news about the suddenly up for auction spiritual liquid. But
most of the people are still completely in the dark.

When the female attendant brings out a sparkling blue transparent crystal bottle, everyone's eyes
are fixed on it.

In the distinguished guest seats, Ling Xiao quickly opens his half-closed eyes with laughter in his
eyes, "Little brother. Your spiritual liquid finally makes its appearance. And the response is not
bad."

You XiaoMo looks at that bottle excitedly. Two big ice sculptures unexpectedly only result in one
small bottle of spiritual liquid. It's a little surprising. But this small bottle of spiritual liquid actually
can merit such a high reserve price. It really makes him excited.

After going through the previous two hours, You XiaoMo already knows how valuable the spiritual
liquid is. Because, from the reserve price alone, this bottle of spiritual liquid far exceeds that
whatever [Miraculous lightning move].

"This bottle of spiritual liquid is the second last treasure of the auction. Eighty eight drops in
all. According to the seller's wishes, it will be auctioned as one item."

The old man takes that bottle in his hand and explains carefully, "Spiritual liquid has two uses.
One is to replenish the spiritual energy of martial artists. Two is to increase the success rate
when refining magic pills and increase the magic pill's quality ....... "

The unveiling of the spiritual liquid causes an even bigger commotion than the [Miraculous
lightning move]. The interested people are not just mages. All the martial artists are also incredibly
eager. Pairs of fiery eyes fix on the spiritual liquid in the old man's hands.

From the initial eight million and eight hundred thousand reserve price, the price shoots up. After a
bloody battle, the price soars to a sky high price of seventeen million. Almost one thousand times the
price of 'Miraculous lightning move'. But that is not the end .......

After being an auctioneer for so many years, this is the first time the old man gets unbearably
excited.

Although this is not the highest price in his history as an auctioneer, it is still among the top.
Seventeen million is already equal to one month of HunJi city's revenue.

This price is so shocking that everyone is speechless, not a crow or sparrow heard. In the end, only
four parties remain in the fight, XiaoYao sect, JiLe tower, Xue Sha clan, and the one that won the
'Miraculous lightning move', the black-robed man.

The entry of this black-robed man really gives everyone a shock. After winning a mid level
technique scroll, he actually has enough capital left to bid for the spiritual liquid. Really an incredible
show of wealth!
"Seventeen million one hundred thousand!"

Mu Yao glares furiously at that black-robed person. Her face a little distorted as she shouts out an
even higher sky high price. Although it is only one hundred thousand, but at this stage, every hundred
thousand is really very close to everyone's limit. So it's better to raise as little as possible.

Mu YunTian on the opposite side finally can't stop his face from twitching. Grinding his teeth, he
finally gives up.

Although he really covets that bottle of spiritual liquid, there is still the final treasure coming up.
He was originally after that final treasure. But it's really a pity to let go of this bottle of spiritual
liquid. Looking at the attitude of XiaoYao sect, it seems as if they are determined to win. This is also
good. When the final treasure comes out, XiaoYao sect will not be able to win over JiLe tower.

Right at this time, the black-robed man downstairs calls out an even higher price, "Seventeen
million five hundred thousand!"

An uproar erupts in the auction house. Quite a few people turn around to look at the black-robed
man at the back. This person can no longer be described as flaunting one's riches. He's simply so poor
that he is only left with money.

Mu Yao's face turns completely black. The representative from the Xue Sha clan is more
straightforward, simply giving up on the fight.

You XiaoMo hangs on the railing, smiling until his eyes can no longer be seen. The more intense
their fight, the more happy he feels. Each time he hears the price climb upwards, he would grin until
he can no longer close his lips. Really like what Ling Xiao said.

"Bastard! How is it that this guy has so much money?"

Mu Yao grits her teeth, full of resentment.

Elder Yun is also very solemn. He expected JiLe tower and Xue Sha clans to be strong contenders.
But he didn't expect this mysterious black-robed person to actually have that much capital. Such a
miscalculation, "Young miss, with how it's going, we can only try to figure out his limit."

"I understand, Elder Yun."

Mu Yao frowns tightly. This is the only option left.

So, both sides feel each other out, the price finally soaring to eighteen million eight hundred
thousand. A whole ten million over the reserve price, coming close to the sky high price of twenty
million, already causing a lot of people to gasp in astonishment.

Mu Yao clenches her fists tightly and takes a deep breath. This price is already her final limit. If the
other party raises the bid, she can only give up. No matter how rich and powerful XiaoYao sect is,
they still can't be that spendthrift. This sky high price is already equivalent to one year of XiaoYao
sect's revenue.

After Mu Yao puts out this price, the whole place quiets down leaving only the sound of people
breathing.

The old man on the auction platform takes a deep breath. This price exceeds his expectation. His
hand shakes slightly as he brings up the gavel. Just as he is about to bring it down, that black-robed
person suddenly stands up and says in a hoarse voice, "Nineteen million!"

Before Mu Yao could react, You XiaoMo, because of too much excitement, jerks back too strongly,
causing him to fall over .......

Notes:Mu Yao says high level technique although it was described as mid level in the last chapter.

bursting out of unpopular door - dark horse

so poor that he is only left with money - only has material wealth, lacking in everything else

Chapter 111

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Young egg of the blue-blooded wolf.The complete silence in the hall is suddenly broken by the
sound of a certain someone falling to the floor.

The originally tense atmosphere is immediately dispelled. Quite a lot of people look towards the
direction of the sound but they don't see anything. It's only ....... less one person.

Ling Xiao helps him up with a straight face, patting him lightly on the back, "Little brother, did
you hurt yourself falling down?"

You XiaoMo hastily climbs up, his back towards the crowd. His shoulders are trembling as he
grips Ling Xiao's robe and uses it to cover his face. His snot and tears probably already staining the
robe. Then, as if finding that not enough for his use, he pulls Ling Xiao's sleeve, wanting to use it to
wipe the tears at the corners or his eyes. The latter's calm face becomes distorted .......

"Little brother, are you done wiping?"

A solemn tone comes from the top of his head.

"No ....... uh, I'm done ....... "

You XiaoMo shakes his head unconsciously and suddenly glimpses a terrifying face. His fingers
stiffen causing the persecuted and destroyed piece of white cloth to slip out out of his hand.

Ling Xiao picks up the patch where he wiped his snot and tears, and turns to him smiling sweetly,
"Little brother, do you know how much this piece of Elder brother's clothes is worth?"

You XiaoMo shakes his head mechanically, "I don't know ....... "

"It's ok if you don't know. Elder brother will tell you."

Ling Xiao rubs his head gently, speaking in a soft voice, "This robe is made from the silk of the
giant silkworm of the ninth underworld. And the giant silkworm of the ninth underworld that
produces this silk is a level eleven high level magic beast. It will only produce silk once every
five hundred years. The value of this silk can't be weighed in gold. Using this small ball to
create an armor, it is impenetrable to sword and spear, indestructible by water and fire. Tell me,
is selling you off enough to replace it?"

You XiaoMo stares blankly at the size Ling Xiao indicates with his fingers, not even the size of a
fist .......

You XiaoMo's face immediately starts to flush with blood. Level eleven magic beast? What is that
about? How would he know? But what he is certain of is that it won't be enough even if he is sold off.
It probably won't even be enough for some scraps.

"I'm sorry, Elder brother Ling. I was wrong ....... don't don't don't ....... don't make me pay
you back ok?"

You XiaoMo wails as he hugs Ling Xiao's waist. Then he blinks with all his might, actually
managing to squeeze out two drops of crocodile tears. He unconsciously thinks of again wiping them
on him when he hastily stops himself.

The corners of Ling Xiao's lips twitch slightly, the last part is what matters to You XiaoMo.

Feeling the shocked stares from downstairs and upstairs, Ling Xiao grimaces, "Little brother, get
up first."

"I don't want to!"

You XiaoMo shakes his head firmly, saying in a muffled voice, "Only if you don't ask me to pay
you back. Then I'll get up."

The corners of Ling Xiao's eyes twitch, " ....... fine, I won't make you pay me back."

"Really?"

You XiaoMo immediately raises his head. The question is earnest. But there are crocodile tears
hanging on the corners of his eyes. And his eyes are not red. Seems like real tears but it also seems
like fake tears.

"Really!" Ling Xiao nods solemnly, just shy of swearing.

You XiaoMo swallows. He still really wants him to swear but ....... if that leads to an opposite
effect, he would have to die crying, so after thinking it through, he decides to hold it in.

When they were talking, that bottle of spiritual liquid was won by that black-robed man at the price
of nineteen million. More than twice the reserve price. Truly a sky high price. Many people won't be
able to raise this amount even if they saved up their whole life. But more and more people are getting
very curious over the black-robed man's identity. Thirty million in one go. His background can only
be high, not low.

But some people are already planning to kill the black-robed man. That is XiaoYao sect's Mu Yao.

Mu Yao received her father's orders to win the spiritual liquid. Originally, this is something that
would be a success nine times out of ten. Because JiLe tower and Xue Sha clan will let her win the
spiritual liquid in order to win the final treasure. But unexpectedly, a Cheng YaoJin shoots out
nowhere.
Mu Yao looks coldly at the black-robed person on the first floor that seems to completely disregard
how other people see him. She thinks darkly in her heart, it'd be better for him not to fall into her
hands. If not he will have to get a taste of the power of XiaoYao sect's dark sky claw.

At this moment, on the auction platform, the old man that had been smiling shrewdly all along
suddenly gets serious. He turns around and goes behind the curtain divider. A moment later, he comes
back out holding a jade box. The jade box is square shaped, about forty centimeters on each side.
Immediately multiple powerful auras erupt in the auction hall.

Most of the powerful auras are from the distinguished guest seats on the second floor. Each and
everyone fixed on the jade box in the old man's hands, unconcealed greed in their eyes. Even the one
that had originally decided to let go, Mu Yao. Her eyes immediately light up in fire.

The old man takes a deep breath and puts the jade box on the auction platform. His bony fingers
slowly lift up the cover of the jade box. Two seconds later, the contents of the jade box is revealed to
everyone. Everyone's eyes are all fixed on the thing inside the jade box.

A single enormous young egg lies inside that jade box. The young egg is grayish white in color. The
exterior is emitting faint rays of light. It's clearly a young egg that has life. Not only that, everyone can
feel that the young egg is radiating a very intense life force.

"What is that?"

You XiaoMo asks curiously, his eyes open wide.

"Egg of the magic beast Blue-blooded wolf"

Ling Xiao is also looking at that young egg, slowly narrowing his eyes.

Blue-blooded wolf? Sounds like something awesome. But You XiaoMo is still confused, "Elder
brother Ling, what level magic beast is the Blue-blooded wolf? How powerful is it?"

A cold sneer appears on Ling Xiao's lips as his eyes get sharper, The blue-blooded wolf has the
most noble bloodline in the wolf clan. They have great potential. Although they are constrained by
their bloodline and unable to ascend to the level of the legendary divine wolf, but based on the
potential in their bloodline, when it grows up, it would be at the least a level eight magic beast, equal
to a Spiritual level martial artist."

"So awesome!"

You XiaoMo mutters.

Although the blue-blooded wolf is restricted by its bloodline, so the highest level it can be is a
level eight magic beast, to the strong forces present, a level eight magic beast is a helping hand that
they can't get enough of. If they can get this level eight magic beast, and train it, in the future they can
just use it to overpower the other forces.
For example the XiaoYao sect and JiLe tower. They are on equal standing because they both have a
Spiritual level leader keeping each other in check. If they can get one more Spiritual level power,
then they no longer have to fear the other forces. Therefore, the young egg of a level eight magic beast
is extremely enticing to them.

But the young egg of a level eight magic beast also has a disadvantage, its growth. It takes a set
process for a young egg to grow. This process costs a lot. At the same time, one has to spare no
efforts to cultivate it and protect it. If it gets killed before becoming a true level eight magic beast,
that would mean all the effort would be completely wasted.

So if it is someone who doesn't have to ability to nurture a young egg, it would no use even if they
buy it back.

"These people are just asking to be burned!"

Ling Xiao says with contempt.

"What do you mean?"

You XiaoMo does not really understand when he hears his words.

Ling Xiao sneers saying, "Blue-blooded wolves live in packs. Because there are relatively few
female blue-blooded wolves, the number of progeny has always been low. Sometimes only one
blue-blooded wolf is born every five years. So once they find out that their offspring has been
stolen, they will certainly be enraged. If they were to come here for a reckoning, no one here
will be able to escape."

You XiaoMo breathes in sharply. One young egg every five years, this rate is really low.

Ling Xiao continues, "But these martial artists are after all not stupid. They must have heard
of how fearsome the blue-blooded wolves can be. They must have taken some secret measures.
That's why those blue-blooded wolves have yet to come looking."

"This young egg is too pitiful!"

You XiaoMo looks at the young egg lying all alone in the jade box. He imagines the scene when its
parents discovered that it had disappeared. They must have been extremely heartbroken. He can't help
but shed a handful of sympathetic tears. He wonders how his parents reacted when they found out that
he had died.

Hearing these words, a smile rises up in Ling Xiao's eyes, "Little brother. Can it be that you are
not afraid of magic beasts?"

You XiaoMo scratches his head, "I'm ok with it ba!"

In his previous world he watched Animal Planet. Those animals were really very cute especially
the newly born little animals. Really explosively adorable.

Previously his family had a neighbor that kept a female Chow Chow. That female Chow Chow then
gave birth to a litter of little Chow Chows. Because there were too many, the neighbor gave one little
Chow Chow to his family.

The little Chow Chow was white in color. Especially cute. You XiaoMo liked it very much but it
was snatched away by his little brother that loves to take the things he likes. But not long after, his
little brother got fed up of the little Chow Chow and asked his parents to give it away. After that, he
didn't see that little Chow Chow again. At that time, he thought that it was really too bad!

On the auction platform, after listening to the old mans saliva spraying in all directions explanation,
everyone finally finds out that it is a young egg of the blue-blooded wolf.

The blue-blooded wolf is a level eight magic beast. That means as long as you have this young egg,
there will be a day that you will have a helping hand of a Spiritual level. A Spiritual level helper is
not the same as those of Sky level, easily appearing everywhere type of Chinese cabbage.

Although most of the people do not have the means to bid, it is worthwhile just to be able to see the
young egg of the blue-blooded wolf. Who doesn't know that the blue-blooded wolf is an extremely
rare magic beast.

Chapter 112

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Success.The old man takes a glance at the people downstairs and upstairs, everyone showing
somewhat obvious impatience. He clears his throat and says, "This is a young egg of the blue-
blooded wolf. Because its value is rather high, so the auction house decided to conduct an
exchange of equal value. As long as one of you can produce an item of equal worth, after going
through Seven Stars auction house's assessment, then this young egg of the blue-blooded wolf
would belong to that person."

Once these words are spoken, everyone erupts in an uproar. It's unexpected that this level eight
young egg can't be valued in gold coins. It's clear that they consider gold coins unworthy. But it's still
understandable, some things can't be bought with money. Furthermore, if it was up to them, they would
probably also make the same decision.

Ling Xiao on the second floor also didn't expect it. Just a level eight magic beast egg and they
actually want to conduct an exchange of equal value. But after thinking it over, he thinks that is is also
reasonable because level eight magic beast eggs are actually very rare over here.

Thinking like this, a gleam appears in Ling Xiao's eyes while he looks at You XiaoMo. Since it
can't be bought with gold coins, it actually saves him a quite lot of trouble.

"Little brother, do you want that young egg?"

You XiaoMo is totally engrossed looking at the egg. Hearing Ling Xiao's voice coming from behind
him, he is momentarily stunned, "Blue-blooded wolf? But that old man says he wants an exchange
of equal value ah. I don't have any treasures to trade with him."

"Who says you don't?"

Ling Xiao's gaze sweeps across his face, the corners of his lips curving upwards, "Have you
forgotten the spiritual liquid that was just auctioned off? Even though that thing is of no use to
you, to mages and martial artists, it is equivalent to a miraculous magic pill. They can't be
unmoved."

You XiaoMo freezes for a moment, then his eyes start to shine, "Elder brother Ling, then how
many drops of spiritual water should be exchange with him?"

Ling Xiao ponders briefly, "One hundred drops will do."

You XiaoMo unconsciously uses gold coins to estimate, one hundred drops is ten million na. If sold
by auction it could be twenty million. He starts to drool.

Not long after the old man finishes speaking, JiLe tower's Mu YunTian from the second floor's
distinguished guest seats simply stands up from his seat. He looks steadily at the auction platform and
says in a deep voice, "I propose a top grade Break through moon magic pill and a top grade
Purple cloud magic pill."

Following his proposal, everyone raises their heads to look at Mu YunTian. Most of them are
rather surprised because Break through moon magic pill is a level five magic pill. Using this pill can
increase the probability of breaking through the Moon level to become a Star level. On top of that,
there are no side effects. So it's the most valuable among level five magic pills.

As for the Purple cloud magic pill, it is even more valuable because it is a level six magic pill.
This magic pill can be used to to increase one's power by one to two stars. For example, a one star
Star level martial artist. After taking the Purple cloud magic pill, there is a possibility of becoming a
two or three star Star level martial artist. The only drawback is that the higher the level of the martial
artist, the lousier the effect.

Now that Mu YunTian has shown his hand, the others don't dare to be left behind.

XiaoYao sect's Mu Yao puts forth a volume of Control fire move. Control fire move is a mid level
top grade technique, giving someone the ability to control flames and use it launch an attack. The
higher the flame level, the stronger the attack. And if you can use many types of flames at the same
time, you can form a flame formation, a very powerful attack formation. If not for the level eight
young egg, XiaoYao sect wouldn't bring out this technique.

Of course, XiaoYao sect intentionally proposed a Control five move as an exchange because they
know that HunJi city's leader is a powerful fire manipulator. His strength is very high but he just lacks
a good technique.

Following Mu Yao's proposal, Xue Sha clan's representative stands up. He only proposes one
magic pill, but if talking about its worth, it is much higher than Mu YunTian's magic pills. The magic
pill's effect is similar to the Break through moon magic pill except that the breakthrough is not for
Moon level but for Star level. Furthermore, there are no side effects, so after the breakthrough, one
can immediately consolidate one's level. But the probability of breakthrough is lower when compared
to Break through moon level magic pill.

Compared to Mu YunTian's magic pills and Mu Yao's Control fire move, this magic pill is
obviously quite a bit more valuable. Because, after the breakthrough, one will be of Celestial level.
Surprisingly Xue Sha clan is actually willing to part with it.

The expression of Mu YunTian and Mu Yao change immediately, bringing down their mood.

At this moment, that person on the first floor in the black robe that everyone regards as the dark
horse stands up after Xue Sha clan. Everyone's attention falls on him as they try to guess what kind of
unexpected surprise this dark horse will propose.

"Do you accept magic herbs?"


The old man on the auction platform freezes momentarily and then shakes his head, "I'm sorry.
We're not accepting magic herbs."

The black-robed person keeps quiet. It's unclear if he is actually disappointed or doesn't really
care. He just sits back on his chair clearly not intending to compete with them any further.

Following that, other than the three powerful forces, there are also quite a few forces that covet that
level eight magic beast egg. Each and every one proposing what treasures they can produce, in a short
span of time, all sorts of techniques, magic pills, and treasures pour forth in an endless stream.

The old man waits for a while and seeing that no one else wants to add their interest, he is just
about to turn around and walk backstage to discuss with others when someone suddenly stands up in
the distinguished seats on the second floor. A noble air radiates from the man's body, leaving a very
deep impression on everyone, because that person is Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao that was pestered by You
XiaoMo to stand up.

Ling Xiao smiles elegantly saying, "Would a hundred drops of spiritual liquid be enough to win
this thing?"

His words is tantamount to tossing a pebble into a calm lake. Immediately causing an uproar in the
auction house, wave upon wave. Many people connect the dots to the eighty eight drops of spiritual
liquid that had just been auctioned off. This person actually brings out one hundred drops of spiritual
liquid all at once. Can it be that the previous spiritual liquid also came from him?

Although no one answers them, seeing how straightforward the man is, the answer is as clear as
day.

Mu Yao on the opposite side is stunned for a moment and then bright rays start to shoot out from her
eyes. Her gaze on Ling Xiao gets hotter and hotter. This is really like what they call, an unexpected
solution.

Hearing him say one hundred drops of spiritual liquid, the old man's body stiffens. Then
unmistakable wild joy shows in his eyes. In reality, their city leader's interest towards spiritual liquid
is not less than that for a level eight magic beast egg. It's a pity that it was an item for auction. No
matter how much interest Seven Stars auction house has, they still won't destroy their business just for
the sake of it, so they could only let it go.

Beyond his wildest imagination, the owner of the spiritual liquid actually has more of it. On top of
that, he opens with one hundred drops. Based on its value, the old man doesn't even have to think
before making his decision.

"If no one else is going to bid, then old me will declare the winner of this level eight magic
beast egg."

The old man's gaze sweeps over everyone present, seeming to keep everyone in suspense. A
moment later, he beams while saying, "This auction item, the final winner for the level eight
magic beast egg is ....... the sir sitting on the number ten distinguished guest seat."

With these words, the atmosphere in the auction house stagnates. Everyone turns to look at Ling
Xiao on the second floor. Naturally, everyone overlooks You XiaoMo who is leaning on the railing.

Ling Xiao calmly raises the corner of his lips and sits back down on his seat.

Seven Stars auction house's once every three years auction finally ends in an unexpected way. The
three powerful forces were beat down by two dark horses, unable to get even one of the last two
treasures. This result is really unexpected. Something that even the three powerful forces didn't
expect.

After the old man announced the final winner of the magic beast egg, a tense atmosphere arises in
the noisy auction house. Quite a few forces look at the black-robed man and Ling Xiao with cold
piercing stares. Although the things were won by them, there are still some people that are unwilling
to let go. Their eyes seem to reflect their evil plans.

Ling Xiao appears as if oblivious, a vague smile hanging on his lips.

The clueless You XiaoMo doesn't detect the change in the atmosphere in the auction house. He is
now still deeply immersed in the joy of having won that magic beast egg. He tugs Ling Xiao's clothes,
"Elder brother Ling, when are we going to get the things?"

Ling Xiao sticks out his chin, motioning for him to look over to the old auctioneer.

You XiaoMo turns around and looks over. That old man already let someone take down the magic
beast egg. With a beaming smile on his face, he again faces the crowd, beaming while speaking,
"Ladies and gentlemen, our city's once every three years auction has now concluded. Thank you
everyone for taking part in this auction. Next, the esteemed guests that have winning bids can
come backstage at your convenience to collect your items."

After those words, the old man simply leaves the auction platform. Everyone in the hard seats on
the first floor and the distinguished guest seats on the second floor all stand up and leave the auction
house one after another. That black-robed person had already disappeared unknowingly. But the
strong forces in the distinguished guest seats don't appear the least bit alarmed. They must have
dispatched people long before to follow him.

Ling Xiao stands up and says to You XiaoMo, "Little brother, let's go."

You XiaoMo immediately stands up and follows with jolting buttocks. He still doesn't know that
when they leave HunJi city, there will be a big group of people waiting to snatch his magic beast egg,
not knowing that in his eyes, a magic beast egg is more important than those gold coins.

Unlike others, Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo go pick up their items immediately.

That old man is already waiting for them. Seeing them come over, he immediately greets them
enthusiastically. After a few pleasantries, he sends people to bring out all the items they won. The
Enlightened golden cauldron, the jade box containing the level eight magic beast egg, and also the
nineteen million gold coins minus five percent commission, resulting in eighteen million and fifty
thousand. The old man puts them all in a magic bag and hands it over to You XiaoMo.

After collecting the things, Ling Xiao brings You XiaoMo back to Seven Stars tower.

The moment they arrive back, some people are immediately notified.

Chapter 113

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Failed negotiation.As soon as they entered Seven Stars tower, the lively discussion in the main hall
immediately quiets down.

Looks of amazement fall on Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo, one after another. Although it is less than
half an hour after the auction ended, the news regarding them and the black-robed man has already
spread throughout HunJi city.

The two super dark horses snatched away the final two treasures at the auction. This topic is all the
rage. Of course You XiaoMo is overlooked. Every one is fixated on Ling Xiao. This noble prince-
like handsome man. From beginning to end, no one can tell which force he belongs to.

Ling Xiao pays no heed to these strange looks. He finds an empty table in the main hall and sits
down.

The small footman, You XiaoMo naturally follows him. But he doesn't know that the manager and
waiter that catch sight of him suddenly have a change in their expression. Immediately they remember
that unpleasant experience last night. This brat is actually here again .......

"Manager, what are we going to do? This person is here again!"

The waiter is crestfallen. His impression of You XiaoMo is deeper than the manager's because he
was the one in charge of them last night. In a few short hours, he was called up and down five or six
times. At that time, he was almost cursed to death by the manager who didn't know what was going
on.

The manager's wrinkled face shudders. He grimaces, saying, "This time you don't have to worry.
The auction has already ended. If they want to continue staying here, they will have to pay for
the room and food."

"That's right oh!"

The waiter immediately recovers, "Then what should we do now? He seems to be the king of
eaters."

The manager immediately starts to laugh deviously, "It's good if he's the king of eaters. Soon he
should be ordering a lot of food. Quickly go over there. The more food they order, the more we
will earn."

"Manager is wise!"

The waiter immediately gives him the thumbs up, "Small me will go over immediately."
And so, the manager who considers himself wise and the waiter finally no longer frown with long
faces. Especially the waiter. He picks up the teapot from the counter and eagerly walks to You
XiaoMo's table. On his face is a 'I'm going to milk you dry today' expression.

"My two guests, what would you like to eat today?"

The waiter eagerly pours tea for them.

After starving for several hours at the auction house, You XiaoMo says boldly, "Give me your
hotel's most expensive and most delicious dishes."

Of course, this is built on the foundation of his newfound wealth.

The waiter lights up in glee, "Great lei, my guest has good taste. Our Seven Stars hotel's most
expensive and most delicious dishes are Heavenly treasure cloud duck, Eight immortals
crossing the sea, and the Dragon gate fish. May I ask how many of each would you like?"

The manager was right.

"One!"

You XiaoMo raises one finger.

The waiter's gleeful smile instantly stiffens. He stammers as he asks, "Dear guest, can you say it
one more time, how many of each do you want?"

"One each. We won't be able to finish if there's too much."

How could You XiaoMo know what he was scheming inside? He had long ago forgotten what kind
of image he gave the waiter and manager last night. Now he is already a man with millions. That
small petty thief is all but forgotten for now. Wait for the day when he is poor again and maybe he
will think of that again.

The waiter wants to cry. These three dishes, although they are their hotel's most expensive and most
delicious, but they still won't make much gold coins ya. And, isn't this person the king of eaters?
Three dishes, such a small amount, will he really be satisfied?

The waiter that received a heavy blow returns to the counter and whispers to the manager. The
manager's expression changes to match that of the waiter, frequently looking at You XiaoMo full of
resentment.

No matter how clueless You XiaoMo is, it is still impossible for him not to notice when someone
keeps on glaring at him. He can't help feeling puzzled, "Elder brother Ling, why does the manager
keep on staring at me?"

A smile can't help escaping from Ling Xiao's handsome face. The person in question has already
forgotten about it. But he hasn't. From the time that waiter walked over excitedly, he had already
guessed it. The corner of his mouth twitches, "Probably thinks that you're very good looking ba."

You XiaoMo blushes. After a while, he asks softly, "Really?"

Ling Xiao finds his secretly delighted tone very adorable, almost causing him to burst out laughing.
This fellow. He always manages to amuse him to such an extent. Killing him with hilarity.

"Of course ....... for real."

You XiaoMo is delighted, completely unaware that he is being tricked because this is the first time
he hears someone else saying that he is good looking. From the time he saw his reflection in the
mirror, he had not thought that he is good looking. Because his current face is about the same as his
face in the previous world, both falling in the average category. Not especially cool, not especially
handsome, also not too unremarkable. At most, he can be considered charming.

Ling Xiao is afraid that he will really burst out laughing so he quickly looks away from his face.

At this moment, suddenly the sound of footsteps *dong dong dong* come from the stairs to the
second floor. Everyone looks over to the source of the sound. A red figure suddenly invades their
eyes. It's actually XiaoYao sect's seductress, Mu Yao. Unexpectedly, she still hasn't left and is still
staying in Seven Stars tower. A few shrewd people suddenly feel that some kind of drama will soon
be unfolding.

Under everyone's gaze, Mu Yao glides towards Ling Xiao's table.

You XiaoMo raises his head and sees a rather familiar beautiful woman standing in front of him.
And behind the beautiful woman is a serious looking old man. He can't help but freeze for a moment
before finding his voice, "You ....... is something the matter?"

"I hope you don't mind that we share a table ba?"

Mu Yao smiles slightly. Although her smiling face is not beaming and radiant, it still feels like
adding flowers to brocade. Her already beautiful face suddenly becomes even more dazzling.

Not waiting for You XiaoMo to speak, bursts of gasps can be heard all around.

XiaoYao sect's seductress is well-known. It seems that almost everyone seated recognizes her. And
because they recognize her, since they have never seen her smile so sweetly to anyone, they can tell
with one look that she is up to something.

You XiaoMo glances cautiously at Ling Xiao. This is a demure maiden ye. And a beautiful one at
that. Although he wants wants to say that he doesn't mind, he remembers how terrifying Ling Xiao was
yesterday when he said the word like, so he doesn't dare. A maiden is indeed precious but his life is
even more precious.
Thinking like this, You XiaoMo coughs deliberately, looking apologetically at Mu Yao, "I'm sorry,
but we would rather not."

The smile on Mu Yao's pretty face almost crumbles. This young miss of great beauty sharing a table
with you is already a great honor and you actually dare to say you would rather not? Of course, this is
all said on the inside. If it wasn't because she has an ulterior motive, she would have flipped the table
long ago. But seeing that the roundabout way is not effective, she also doesn't intend to continue with
the charade. Plunging the knife straight in, "I have something to discuss with the both of you."

Behind her, the corner of Elder Yun's mouth twitches. He knows that the young miss is about to lose
her temper.

You XiaoMo is surprised. Didn't this demure maiden come to eat?

"This, we don't seem to know you."

Mu Yao smiles as she says, "Well, now you do."

You XiaoMo really can't grasp what this demure maiden wants to discuss with them. Furthermore,
he feels that the one doing the discussion should be Ling Xiao so he immediately looks meaningfully
at Ling Xiao, "You're up!"

Ling Xiao receives his signal, amusement becoming even more apparent in his eyes. He languidly
narrows his eyes and says warmly and amiably to Mu Yao, "I know what you want to discuss but
I'm very sorry. There's no more."

Mu Yao opens and closes her mouth, unable to utter a single word for some time.

This man is really blunt. Not only does he plunge the knife straight in, he is also extremely frank.
Although she didn't really have too much hope, being refused so directly, she feels a little unhappy. If
she really were to leave because of these words, she wouldn't be worthy of her seductress title.

"What conditions do the two of you have? Please speak up."

Mu Yao tamps down her slowly rising anger, and says slowly.

You XiaoMo looks her once over. This demure maiden doesn't seem to understand human words.

Ling Xiao seems to have expected this, saying, "Miss, it's not that we don't want to sell. We
don't have any more."

Although he keeps emphasizing that, Mu Yao doesn't believe him. Precious things like spiritual
liquid, who wouldn't leave some aside for themselves for a rainy day? So she firmly doesn't believe
their words.

"This should be the first time for the both of you in HunJi city ba."
Mu Yao glances around and then lowers her voice saying, "Today you beat down JiLe tower and
Xue Sha clan at the auction. You took the magic beast egg they were fighting over. From how
they usually act, they are definitely not going to let you off. If you are willing to give me a bottle
of spiritual liquid ....... if you don't have that, half a bottle would do, XiaoYao sect can guarantee
that you will leave HunJi city safely. How about that?"

Ling Xiao doesn't react while You XiaoMo jumps a little in fright.

According to what she is saying, JiLe tower and Xue Sha clan is planning to take action against
them when they leave HunJi city. This matter, whether it is big or small, if they really want to seize it,
there are only two of them. But strictly speaking, there is actually only one.

"Elder brother Ling ....... "

You XiaoMo looks at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao puts down the tea cup he is playing with. With an unreadable smile, he looks straight at
Mu Yao, "Your proposal is very touching. But I already said that there really is no more spiritual
liquid. Even if you were to put it in more beautiful words, we still can't produce any. So why are
you still continuing to pester us?"

Mu Yao's face darkens. She tried to say it every which way, never expecting that these two people
still refuse to drink the toast only to drink as punishment. She no longer shows a welcoming smile,
standing up with cupped hands saying, "Since it's like this, Mu Yao wishes the both of you the best
of luck. However, if you get robbed when leaving the city gates, it would be too late to regret!"

Saying that, she leaves with a toss of her head. Elder Yun takes a meaningful look at Ling Xiao and
You XiaoMo before leaving with her.

Notes:adding flowers to brocade - gilding the lily

refuse to drink a toast only to drink as punishment - choose the hard way

Chapter 114

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Cut down.After eating, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao leave Seven Stars tower. The manager and
waiter look at them with a complicated expression as they leave. But not long after they leave, a few
people come out from the shadows and start to tail them quietly.

The two them are in no hurry to leave HunJi city. Rather, they head for the Magic pill central
workshop. Yesterday they already arranged with the old man from the Magic pill central workshop, to
pick up the magic herb seeds today.

The Magic pill central workshop and Seven Stars tower are on the same street. It doesn't take them
long to arrive.

The number of customers coming in and out of the entrance of the Magic pill central workshop is as
numerous as before. Because Magic pill central workshop is very famous in HunJi city, the entrance
is always packed tightly. The noise is even greater than that in a wet market. The incessant din can be
heard from very far away.

You XiaoMo stands close by and looks at the throng of people at the entrance. A drop of cold
sweat rolls off his forehead.

On the other hand, Ling Xiao is more straightforward. He heads straight for the throng of people.
Just when he gets close to the crowd, a bizarre phenomenon happens. The jam-packed throng of
people suddenly parts into two, as if pushed outwards by some force. He then simply struts into
Magic pill central workshop, not paying any attention to the people that are endlessly shouting curses
at him.

You XiaoMo watches wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. He then quickly runs to catch up.

Entering the Magic pill central workshop, the commotion outside finally gets further away, the ears
are no longer buzzing.

When the both of them step inside, the female attendant that served them yesterday immediately
comes up to them, as if she has been waiting for them. After a few words of greetings, she takes them
straight up to the second floor. That old man dressed in black robes on the second floor is also
waiting for them. Seeing them, he immediately smiles warmly.

"The two sirs are finally here. Old me has been waiting for a long time."

The old man looks at them while chuckling *he he*. After a bit, he lets the attendant bring out the
prepared magic herb seeds. Each type of magic herb seed is held in a small pouch. The pouches are
of many different colors, with the name of the magic herb seeds indicated on the outside, making it
easy to differentiate them.
Because there are too many seeds, the old man just puts all the pouches of seeds into a magic bag.
The magic bag is a rather common thing so it doesn't cost much.

"These are the magic herb seeds that the two of you asked for yesterday. They are all inside.
You can check and see."

The old man hands over the magic bag to You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo takes the magic bag that the old man hands over to him. He takes a rough survey. The
three types of magic herb seeds that he talked about yesterday are all inside. Altogether two hundred
and seventy five small pouches. As for the seeds inside the pouches, he doesn't check, believing that
Magic pill central workshop wouldn't cheat him, unless they no longer care about their reputation.

Seeing that he is satisfied, Ling Xiao asks the old man, "How many gold coins altogether?"

The old man smiles as he says, "Because the two of you have a level two distinguished guest card,
so you can enjoy a preferential price from Magic pill central workshop with ten percent off.
Originally it is eight million eight hundred thousand. After ten percent off, it's seven million nine
hundred and twenty thousand.

Eight hundred and eighty thousand less than what he expected. That old man from the auction house
was right. The distinguished guest card can be used for discounts. You XiaoMo hands over the coins
while smiling shrewdly.

After seeing the two of them off, the slightly smiling face of the old man suddenly becomes serious.

A gray-robed person walks out from inside. His whole body is enclosed in the gray robe, only
leaving half his face exposed. The robe also seems to have the ability to block other people's
perception. The moment he comes out, the old man immediately turns respectful.

"City leader!"

"The people we sent yesterday, did they find out their background?"

Under the gray robe, a pair of cold eyes send out sinister vibes accompanying a voice that terrifies
people.

"We still haven't figured it out. These two people seem to have appeared out of thin air. We
didn't find any news at all about them. Subordinate suspects they have altered their faces."

The old man cups his hands as he speaks respectfully.

"Altered their faces? If they are people with strong backing, why would they need to alter
their faces? But it's good like that. Them altering their faces actually benefits our plan. If
people were to come investigate in the future, they wouldn't be able to pin it on us."
The gray-robed man lets out a low laugh, showing that he is a hundred percent delighted, as if he
already has what he wants in his hands.

The old man also smiles slightly, "City leader, then should I send someone to intercept them
now?"

"No need to rush."

The gray-robed man speaks in a low voice, "There are quite a few people with the same
objective as us. Surely the three powerful forces are very keen on that spiritual liquid and magic
beast egg. We'll wait for them to act first. Once both sides are bruised and battered, then we'll
make our move."

The old man hesitates then frowns while speaking, "City leader. Is that man really as awesome
as you say? Even the three powerful forces can't bring him down?"

The gray-robed man paces on the spot. After a while, he says with a solemn face, "That man is
very strong. According to my probing just now, he should be no less than Star level.
Furthermore, this person dares to bring out his treasures so brazenly, so he must be very
confident of his own strength. But the young man at his side has no combat ability whatsoever,
something that can be exploited."

"Subordinate understands!"

The old man immediately understands what the city leader means. In order to achieve their
objective, treacherous moves are necessary.

While the two of them think that they have made a seamless heavenly robe, they are unaware that
Ling Xiao had discovered the presence of the gray-robed person the moment he entered Magic pill
central workshop. Although the gray robe he wears can cut off a person's aura, nothing is absolute.

After detecting the presence of the gray-robed man, Ling Xiao at first thought that he was after him.
But after observing for a while, he discovers that the mysterious person hiding in Magic pill central
workshop is mostly looking at You XiaoMo.

"Elder brother Ling, are we going back to TianXin sect now?"

After leaving Magic pill central workshop, You XiaoMo thinks about how his objectives for this
trip have been achieved. Then he remembers that it is almost four days since he left. Two days for the
auction, two days for the journey here. But thinking of the two days on the road, his face crumbles.
Even now, he still can't forget the taste of the 'shaking carriage'.

"En, it should be time for us to head back."

Ling Xiao nods.


"Then, then are we going to take the Raging fire horse back again?"

You XiaoMo asks gingerly, grimacing slightly.

Ling Xiao looks at his crestfallen face. His lips twitch as he says, "No, this time we won't take
the Raging fire horse. We will use another method to go back ba. You will find out when we
leave HunJi city."

The last sentence simply stops You XiaoMo from asking what other method.

And so, the knowing Ling Xiao brings the clueless You XiaoMo around the shops on their way
back to Seven Stars tower. This stroll takes over an hour. The sun sets while You XiaoMo buys a
huge heap of things.

Although he bought a lot of mid level magic herb seeds from Magic pill central workshop, You
XiaoMo still feels that it is too little. Furthermore, the higher the level, the more types there are. Like
the level six magic herbs. He bought one hundred and twenty one types from Magic pill central
workshop but in reality, this is not all there is. There may be some that have not yet been discovered.
There are also some that Magic pill central workshop did not manage to collect.

But if even Magic pill central workshop doesn't have them, other magic pill shops also may not
have them. So You XiaoMo only manages to buy some level four magic herb seeds. Level five and
level six are not commonly seen.

That evening, they spend the night in Seven Stars tower.

The next day, at first light, under the numerous pairs of hidden watchful eyes, Ling Xiao and You
XiaoMo leaves Seven Stars tower, one in front of the other.

This time, the two of them don't wander about and instead head straight for the city gates. Half an
hour later, the two of them arrive at the city gates. The guards are no longer the two they saw before.
Instead, they've turned into two martial artists with powerful auras. The two of them seems to
recognize them, letting them pass without delay.

Out of the city gates, Ling Xiao immediately calls the Raging fire horse. Amidst the sound of
frenzied hooves, the Raging fire horse spirits them away from HunJi city. In less than half an hour,
they reach green plains, boundless green plains cloaked in a thin layer of white mist.

Just when the Raging fire horse gallops into the boundary of the green plains, three black figures
suddenly flash out of the misty scene in front. They form a triangle sealing off the any forward
progress for the Raging fire horse.

The Raging fire horse rears upwards and neighs before coming to a stop. Still, no one comes out
from the carriage.

After a moment of silence, the three black figures shoot towards the horse carriage. Their
explosive momentum seem to want to pulverize even the air. In a flash, weapons appear in their
hands, the blades flashing coldly as they charge towards the horse carriage. Although it is a fine
carriage, it still can't withstand the assault of three Moon level martial artists. It explodes with a
*hong*, fragments shooting out in all directions.

At the same time, a white figure flies up from the top of the horse carriage, and then comes straight
down and lands on the flat ground.

The white figure is Ling Xiao. As for You XiaoMo, he is wedged ....... under his arm.

Upon landing, Ling Xiao first puts You XiaoMo down. Without stopping for a moment, he changes
into a sharp arrow shooting towards the three black-clothed men. The speed is so fast that his targets
have no time to react. Two bursts of purple flames shoot out from his body. In a blink of an eye, they
pierce into the bodies of the two black-clothed men on the sides. Before the two of them could
struggle, they fall to the ground screaming, never to get up again.

As for the third man in black, after jumping in fright at how the other two died, he didn't even have
time to raise the sword in his hand before Ling Xiao reaches him. With a booming fist, the black-
clothed man's head flies off in an instant, blood and brain matter splattering everywhere .......

The still Ling Xiao slowly turns around to find a knife on You XiaoMo's neck.

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Real or fake."Don't come over or I'll kill him."

The black-clothed man clutching You XiaoMo shouts in terror.

Ling Xiao killing off his three companions instantaneously, the speed and the ruthlessness of his
actions suddenly terrifies him. He had wanted to kidnap You XiaoMo to threaten him. Suddenly
extreme fear and dread appears in his eyes.

"Let him go and I will leave you an intact corpse."

Ling Xiao looks at him with ice-cold eyes. His voice, on the other hand, is still as refined as jade.
Not especially amiable, yet not especially cold. But that crazed and vicious bone-deep aura makes
people shudder endlessly from the bottom of their hearts.

Seeing this attitude of his, those people hiding in the shadows all start to feel their hearts shake.
Especially the scene where he killed the three Moon level fighters. His smooth movements made it
seem like it was as easy as cutting through tofu. Finishing off three Moon level fighters in an instant.
As if taking a club to the head, the blow causing their hearts to fill with fear and panic. In their hearts,
they know that they have underestimated this man's power.

Ling Xiao's ominous manner makes the black-clothed man's hand shake in fright, almost causing
him to nick You XiaoMo's neck.

After witnessing Ling Xiao's bloody moves, there is no way he is going to let go of You XiaoMo.
You XiaoMo is now his life-saving charm. If he is to let him go, he would definitely end up just like
his compatriots. Thinking like this, the black-clothed man calms down his heart. That's right, he has a
hostage now. There is no need to fear him.

"Hand over your magic bag to me. Or else, I'll kill him."

"I gave you a chance. It's you who refuses to cherish it."

Ling Xiao's eyes get sharper as he says this sentence softly.

The black-clothed person still hasn't understood his words when he sees Ling Xiao flick his finger.
In an instant, two flame dragons shoot out from his body. As soon as the flame dragons appear, the
temperature all around shoots up, as if the sun suddenly gets nearer, roasting the earth.

Seeing these flame dragons, the face of the black-clothed man changes immediately. He has already
seen with his own eyes, the power of these flame dragons. Seeing them again now, he is of course
filled with incomparable dread. He quickly grips You XiaoMo's neck tightly with his right hand, the
force causing his fingernails to almost sink into his flesh. He shouts in terror: "Do you want to see
your friend die? Don't think I won't kill him. I really will take his life."

Ling Xiao's lips abruptly turn up into a sneer.

"That's not right!"

Elder Yun who is hiding in the shadows suddenly says in a low voice. His gaze becomes sharp as
he looks at You XiaoMo, "That young man is fake."

Mu Yao at his side hears this and scans You XiaoMo's body darkly, coming to rest finally on his
pale face.

The young man's neck is being squeezed by the black-clothed man. Usually, the person's face
should become very red. But this young man, not only does the color of his face not change, from the
start to end, he doesn't seem to have any reaction at all. If things are unusual, something must be up.
No wonder she kept thinking that something is not quite right.

While at the Seven Stars tower, she already saw that the relationship between the two people are
very close. Although, people will turn selfish when it comes to the crucial moment between life and
death, still, this white robed person seems to be too uncaring over the life of his friend. Not showing
the slightest change in expression from beginning to end.

Now that Elder Yun has pointed it out, she finally realizes what is wrong. But when did they switch
him out? They actually managed to pull it off such that even the gods don't know and the ghosts don't
realize. It must be known that Elder Yun and her started tailing them the moment they left Seven Stars
tower.

"Elder Yun, can you guess where he put the other guy?"

Mu Yao asks out loud.

"There are two possibilities."

Elder Yun ponders and says solemnly, "The first is that he has a mustard seed dimension. This
way, they can indeed evade our surveillance."

"Impossible!"

Mu Yao refutes without even needing to think about it.

Only those of Imperial level and above are able to possess the mustard seed dimension. That's
because the so-called mustard seed dimension is created when a powerful person uses his
supernatural ability to tear out a dimension and turn it into a dimension for his own use, a magic
weapon used to store things that can be brought along with him wherever he goes.
This type of dimension is a thousand times, ten thousand times better compared to the so-called
magic bags. Because unlike the magic bags that can only store dead things, it can store living things
and on top of that, it can accumulate concentrated spiritual energy by itself. That spiritual energy is
even stronger than that of Long Xiao continent. Therefore it is the best place to train and also to grow
magic herbs.

However, the mustard seed dimension is something that cannot be found by seeking but only by
chance because even a person of Imperial level and above may not necessarily be able to tear out a
dimension and turn it into his personal dimension.

As long as one has elementary mystical knowledge, one would know that dimensions are extremely
unstable things. If one has bad luck, tearing out an unstable dimension, the spatial energy of that
dimension will tear you to pieces. Even if that person is of Imperial strength, facing the violent chaos
of spatial energy, he is only left with death.

This is why Mu Yao instantly rejects the notion. Putting aside whether Ling Xiao is actually of
Imperial level, it must be known that even if you gather all the powerful martial artists in Long Xiao
continent that are of Imperial level and above, you may not be able to find many that have a mustard
seed dimension.

That's why she rejects it right away. But of course there is another reason.

If Ling Xiao is really a powerful Imperial level martial artist, that means all these people here most
probably will not have a chance of leaving this green plain alive today.

Elder Yun doesn't disagree with her words. Instead, he nods, "Old me also thinks that it is
impossible. Looks like it can only be the second possibility. That young man was most probably
switched in Seven Stars tower. Young miss should still remember that at that time, they returned
once to the room."

"Elder Yun, are you saying that the young man is still in HunJi city?"

Mu Yao guesses.

"Eight to nine out of ten. But he could have taken the opportunity to leave HunJi city when
we left in pursuit."

Elder Yun's expression is rather somber. If they could have gotten hold of that young man, that
would have been the surest way. It's too bad they were all fooled.

Mu Yao's gaze sweeps over the people in front and says in a low voice, "Elder Yun, there is one
thing Young Yao doesn't understand. Yesterday, that black-robed person also won some spiritual
liquid. He is only one person. Why did we not go ambush him instead of following these two
people?"

"You think old me didn't send someone to monitor him? It's just that the black-robed man is
very strange. He actually managed to shake off our people. I believe that's also what happened
to the other forces. If not, why would JiLe tower and Xue Sha clan end up like us, running here
to rob and kill them?."

A somber look flashes across Elder Yun's face. JiLe tower and Xue Sha clan are not weak. If they
were to take action, XiaoYao sect would probably not be at an advantage.

"Looks like we can only sit and watch, and wait for them to act first."

Mu Yao mutters softly. Although she is very anxious, she believes that JiLe tower and Xue Sha clan
are just as anxious.

By the time they finish talking, that black-clothed person was already killed by Ling Xiao. As for
the fake You XiaoMo, he vanished into a puff of air. Seeing that no one is holding back Ling Xiao, the
other forces can't help but take action.

Ten or so powerful auras filled with murderous intent dash to the skies as they all charge violently
towards Ling Xiao. Not a cry is raised as the sharp weapons in their hands gleam with dazzling light.
The cutting edges aiming one after another at Ling Xiao's vital points.

Facing the attack of so many powerful people, even people like Mu YunTian and Elder Yun would
have to take defensive measures. Instead, Ling Xiao doesn't dodge nor hide. The purple flame dragons
seem to be inexhaustible. Ten or so exploding from his body in an instant. Sweeping towards all the
fighters like lightning.

Although most of them are on guard, when they put up their shields, the flame dragons pass right
through their bodies as if there is nothing there. Not only that, each and every one that is penetrated by
the flame dragons, the blood from the bodies evaporates completely. When the corpses fall on the
floor, they are all bloodless mummies, as if they have all been sucked dry.

Just when Elder Yun and Mu Yao want to take action, they see this scene, and turn pale with fright.

Not just them. Even the hidden leader of HunJi city is shocked by this scene. Flames that can even
evaporate blood. The intensity of that heat probably exceeds their imagination.

Who is this person? Actually possessing such a strange flame. And it's purple. Simply neither heard
nor seen before!

Ling Xiao, who finished off ten or so fighters in an instant, puts down his hand and slowly takes a
breath. Way too many people asking for death. Making him waste his time. If he wasn't worried about
exposing his strength too early, he would be too lazy to entertain them.

Taking a sweeping look all around and seeing that the hidden people don't plan to show themselves,
Ling Xiao also has no intention of seeking them out. Turning around, he takes four or five steps and
suddenly a loud voice that splits the sky comes from behind him.
An arrow enveloped in black rays moves under a strange force, shooting towards Ling Xiao's back.
Then when the arrow gets within three meters of Ling Xiao, it seems to meet an obstruction, stopping
immediately. Then it looks as if someone is using their hands to bend it, the tip of the arrow slowly
turning around, and with a *xiu* shoots back to where it came from, ending with a scream.

Ling Xiao turns around slowly and stamps his foot lightly. A strong momentum rushes forward
instantly.

The faces of all the people hidden undergo a huge change. Their shocked expressions are tinged
with horror.

The gray-robed person conveniently throws aside the subordinate with an arrow stuck in his chest
who he used as his shield. His face is unsightly and full of horror, "This person is actually of Five
star Celestial level strength ....... " He himself is only of One star Celestial level strength.

Chapter 116

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

WuFeng town.Celestial level strength can be considered as someone at the peak of Long Xiao
continent. Martial artists are subjected to restrictions in their training. There is a huge hurdle every
four levels. So for martial artists, most of them are Sun level and below. Second to that are those in
between Moon level and Spiritual level, especially the Spiritual level.

So there are quite a few Spiritual level martial artists stuck at this huge hurdle all their lives
because it is extremely difficult to breakthrough to Imperial level from Spiritual level. You may not
even be able to find one in every ten people. So for those of Celestial level that is below Spiritual
level, as long as they don't come across someone of Spiritual level, they can act as a local tyrant.

This is why HunJi city's leader can dominate here, causing extreme fear in the other forces.

He thought that at best, Ling Xiao would be of Star level strength. He didn't expect that this time, he
has eyes but see not, actually kicking such a hard piece of iron.

Don't think that they are both at the same Celestial level. The difference with each star is
significant. If there is no special magic weapon or life-saving move, it's impossible to challenge
someone of higher rank. Especially since the difference between them is not just one star.

"City leader, this person's strength is very high. Looks like we can only withdraw."

That old manager from Magic pill central workshop glances at the far away Ling Xiao with dread
in his eyes.

Tang Hun immediately rejects this suggestion, saying with a dark face, "No. If we retreat now, it
would be even harder for us to find this person again. I must have the method to cultivate top
grade magic herbs."

As long he can get a hold of this method, sooner or later, there will be a day when he will be able
to place himself above all the powerful people of Long Xiao continent.

"But city leader, this person's strength is so high. We can't beat him relying on just the few of
us."

The manager speaks hesitantly. Of course he knows how valuable the method of cultivating top
grade magic herbs is. If this information were to get out, the people interested won't be just them. At
that time, those strong forces will also all come out. But in order to enjoy the benefits, one must still
be alive.

"Of course we won't win depending on just the few of us. But it's not just us here. The three
strong forces must be very interested in the treasures on them. As long as ....... "
"Not in a hundred million years ah, city leader!"

The manager doesn't wait for him to finish speaking and simply cuts him off.

Tang Hun looks at him coldly, "Why not?"

The manager explains, "Think it over carefully city leader. The three strong forces are after the
level eight magic beast egg and spiritual liquid. But what is our aim? We already have spiritual
liquid. The level eight magic beast egg is something we put up for auction. This way, what other
reason is there for us to kill them? So they will definitely be suspicious about our purpose. If
they find out, the method for cultivating top grade magic herbs may not end up with us."

Tang Hun considers for a moment. He can't deny that there is some truth in what the manager says.
So he says, "Now that young man is hidden by him. We can only find him and make our move on
him. Does manager have any ideas?"

The manager considers for a moment, and says, "City leader. Looks like this time you can only
bring out that thing. Only that can evade the eyes and perception of a Celestial strength martial artist.

Tang Hun is momentarily stunned. He then frowns. That thing is his treasure. If it's not as a last
resort, he wouldn't bring it out. But looking at the current situation, he can only do it that way.

Not long after, the three strong forces sense the withdrawal of one of the forces. Even though they
are a little surprised that they give up so easily, but thinking of the man's strength, everyone feels their
scalp go numb. A Five star Celestial level martial artist is not someone that they can provoke. If they
had known earlier that the man is such a formidable martial artist, they would not have been so rash.

With the withdrawal of that group, JiLe tower also gives up. Although the level eight magic beast
and spiritual water is very attractive, one must be alive to enjoy it. Mu YunTian's strength is actually
not bad. There aren't many of his age that can match him. But right now, he is only at Moon level.
Although the people he brought by his side are one step shy of Celestial level, but compared to a
genuine Celestial level martial artist, the difference in strength is not just one star.

With the withdrawal of JiLe tower, even if XiaoYao sect and Xue Sha clan were to work together,
their chance of winning is still not more than thirty percent.

Not long after that, Xue Sha clan also withdraws. Since they already lost a few strong men, if they
were to lose a few more, it would be hard for them to justify it when they go back.

Mu Yao wants to stomp her feet in anger. She can only leave together with Elder Yun helplessly,
even though they urgently need the spiritual liquid on that man.

After everyone leaves, Ling Xiao restrains his frightening aura. But if they knew that Ling Xiao's
real strength is not Celestial level but even higher, they would be running even faster.

His somewhat sharp eyes take a sweeping glance in all directions, making sure that there is no one
left. Ling Xiao abruptly waves his hand in mid-air. Suddenly a crack appears in mid-air. Soon after,
someone tumbles out from the crack, falling right into Ling Xiao's hands as he stands below.

If this scene were to be witnessed by Mu Yao and Elder Yun, the two of them would definitely turn
pale with fright, and at the same time thanking their lucky stars that they were wise enough to give up.

"Wah ah ....... "

The one who falls from the crack is none other than You XiaoMo.

At this moment, his eyes are open wide in terror. His nerves are still frazzled as he looks at Ling
Xiao who is holding him.

Ling Xiao already took off that dark sinister murderous air around him. He looks at You XiaoMo
with a refined and elegant expression, the corner of his lips slightly rising, revealing a teasing smile,
"Little brother, are you thinking that I'm especially handsome and cool today, leaving you
stunned?"

You XiaoMo feels like giving that handsome and cool face a tight slap but that is not the important
point.

Ling Xiao suddenly says, "Little brother. Right now, do you feel like really giving me a tight
slap?"

You XiaoMo pouts slightly. Just when he wants to ask how he knows, he quickly swallows back
down with all his strength those few words he almost spit out. He blinks innocently, "Elder brother
Ling, did you already send those bad people running?"

"Yes ah, can't you tell by looking?"

Ling Xiao smiles.

You XiaoMo takes a look around, his stomach turning over. No wonder he felt that there is a
bloody smell in the air. With Ling Xiao at the center, all around are severed limbs. There are also ten
or so dried up corpses ....... these people seem to have died very tragically. What the hell is this ah?
He still hasn't had lunch ne!

Ling Xiao raises his head and looks at the sun hanging in the sky. He laughs while saying, "Little
brother. Let's quickly get back on the road ba. It'd be best if we reach a city or small town before
Wei period. This way, we would be just in time for lunch."

Saying this, he simply hugs You XiaoMo tightly. With one leap, they disappear into the vast mist
leaving behind a futile sentence of rather tearful teeny tiny protest, lingering behind accompanying the
corpses filling the ground for a bit before fading.

"I don't ....... "


WuFeng town is at the edge of the exit from WuFeng mountain range. Most people would go
through here when leaving WuFeng mountain range. Although it is called a town, the area of WuFeng
town is actually the same as HunJi city. Furthermore, this place is not under any force. It's a town
where one can enter and exit freely.

Ling Xiao carries You XiaoMo until right outside WuFeng town. At this time, the sun is right at
midday, the time for lunch that he mentioned before. He then puts down You XiaoMo who is filled
with resentment.

"Little brother. Look. We have reached WuFeng town."

Ling Xiao pats him lightly on the head.

You XiaoMo ignores him and goes ahead to evaluate WuFeng town.

Speaking about this, when they were going to HunJi city, they also passed through WuFeng town.
But that time they didn't stay long, so You XiaoMo doesn't have a deep impression of the place. But
this city is very chaotic because no one manages it. So things like fighting, looting, highway robbery,
are all quite common.

The two of them are just about to enter WuFeng town when two people suddenly rush out from the
originally unguarded entrance. One tall, one short, looking rather wretched. Furthermore, they have
buckteeth. One of the yellow bucktooth is especially hideous. But their strength is not too sad, both of
Sun level strength. Right now they are looking at You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao with vicious and evil
expressions.

The short one's wretched gaze gives You XiaoMo a once over. He then smiles darkly, "Starting
from today, everyone that goes in and out of WuFeng town must hand over a passage fee.

"But we clearly didn't have to the last time."

You Xiao exclaims in surprise. He can't be mistaken. At that time he was vomiting in the carriage.
Ling Xiao didn't ask him for money.

The short one grins while saying, "It's required starting from today. But since this is your first
time paying, let me tell you some good news. This WuFeng town is now a territory of Wolf fang
gang from today onwards. After entering, you better be careful of how you act. Otherwise, you
better watch out for your little life."

Wolf fang gang?

You XiaoMo is dumbfounded. He didn't mishear. Wolf fang gang's leader seems to have been killed
by Ling Xiao a few days ago. How come they have not disbanded but instead forcibly occupy
WuFeng town? And they're asking for passage fee. You XiaoMo turns around and glances at Ling
Xiao. Forget it, it's better they don't look for trouble.
"Fine ba. So how much per person?"

"Two hundred gold coins."

The short one laughs while speaking.

" ....... you why don't you just go and rob ba."

You XiaoMo was just about to take out his hand from his magic bag when he suddenly stops. Give
me a break. HunJi city only collected two gold coins. And here they want two hundred coins? That's
just highway robbery ma. He no longer plans to hand it over. After all, they already have bad blood
with Wolf fang gang.

The face of the short one darkens in an instant. The tall one at his side also starts to look at them
darkly and coldly.

"Since you prefer to drink as punishment rather than drink a toast, I'll fulfill your wishes."

The short one sneers as he says hatefully. Then together with the tall one, they each hold up a sharp
knife in their hand as they rush towards them from both sides, cutting downwards. Dare to resist the
rules laid down by Wolf fang gang? That's death for you ba. Just nice, we can take the two of you to
serve as killing the chicken to warn the monkey.

*Peng! Peng!*One tall one short, the two figures suddenly vomit fresh blood, their faces deathly
pale, as their bodies strike heavily on the gate posts of WuFeng town. When they fall back down, their
necks are crooked, dead as dodos!

The people all around that were watching the drama are shocked senseless. Two Sun level martial
artists beat to death by just one fist. Then they look on in shock as the two people walk into WuFeng
town.

Notes:Wei period - 13:00-15:00

refuse to drink the toast only to drink as punishment - choose the hard way

Chapter 117

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Smarter in comparison.After entering WuFeng town, the two people simply follow the main road
towards the other exit of WuFeng town.

Because You XiaoMo firmly refuses, Ling Xiao cancels his plan to have lunch in WuFeng town.
After all, he was just teasing him. He didn't really want to have lunch.

The main street is full of people and full of chatter. With each step, one can hear people discussing
the matter with Wolf fang gang. You XiaoMo perks up his ears and listens for a bit. Finally he
understands what the deal is with Wolf fang gang.

This Wolf fang gang is indeed the Wolf fang gang they came across in HunJi city. But since the
leader was killed, Wolf fang gang has been in a state of chaos. That's because other than the gang
leader who was a Moon level martial artist, his underlings are mostly of Sun level strength. As a
result, once the leader died, the situation became messy because another leader has to be chosen but
no one is willing to give in to anyone else.

The conflict was especially intense, almost erupting into an all out war. But last night, an even
stronger person appeared. And it was an outsider. One of Sun level martial artists from Wolf fang
gang started to clash with him. Both sides went all out. In the end, that Sun level martial artist was put
in his place.

Not only that, that outsider heard that their gang leader is dead and that they are just in the process
of choosing a new leader. So the outsider went up to Wolf fang gang and managed to become their
new leader.

That outsider is also a very ruthless character. After taking care of the situation in WuFeng town, he
announced last night that from then on, WuFeng town is his territory. Whoever dares to go against him
will be killed.

It must be known that WuFeng town has been under no one's rule for so many years. Since there is
Wolf fang gang, that means there definitely are other gangs as well.

So, not even one night after his declaration, the leaders of the other gangs joined forces. After
completing their unification, they led their troops to Wolf fang gang's lair. The result is as expected.
The combined forces of several strong fighters from the various gangs actually failed to defeat that
outsider. In order to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, that outsider killed several of the gang
leaders. Then he assimilated their gang members into Wolf fang gang.

So those people that live year in and year out in WuFeng town discovered that there is finally a
change in the weather in WuFeng town!
Collecting passage fee for entering and exiting WuFeng town is the first action Wolf fang gang takes
after taking control over WuFeng town.

You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao have pretty bad luck. Not only did they encounter this, they are also the
first ones to be asked to pay the passage fee.

You XiaoMo feels that he seems to have an ill-fated relationship with Wolf fang gang. At first, he
got into trouble by no fault of his own. Now, although he is a little at fault, but who asked them to
charge such exorbitant passage fees? If it is five or ten gold pieces, he can still force himself to
consider for a bit.

"Elder brother Ling, can you guess how strong is that new leader of Wolf fang gang?"

You XiaoMo trots up to the front of Ling Xiao asking full of curiosity. Although he knows the levels
of martial artists, he is not clear on the distinctions.

Ling Xiao's lips curve upwards. He strolls forward while explaining, "Wolf fang gang's leader
was of Moon level strength. The other gang leaders should also be Moon level. Otherwise, they
could not have co-existed with Wolf fang gang in WuFeng town. Since that new leader could
defeat them, he should be at least Star level and above. But he shouldn't be any higher than
Celestial level."

You XiaoMo listens to his clear and logical explanation and nods, then asks, "Why?"

Ling Xiao beams as he says, "If he is of Celestial level, then even on the outside, he can already
be a small-time overlord. Even if that's not the case, if he were to seek refuge with some strong
forces, he would be treated as a distinguished guest. Not only did he not do that, he instead came
to WuFeng town. Furthermore, he took over Wolf fang gang. Clearly he plans on staying on by
WuFeng mountain range. There is only one explanation for this kind of behavior. That is he is
being hunted down by someone. And the one doing the hunting is not someone weak. It could
even be a strong sect. So he has no choice but to escape to WuFeng town."

Too brilliant! Too awesome!

Based on so few clues, he actually gleans that much information. You XiaoMo suddenly feels that
Ling Xiao actually has some redeeming points. At the least ....... at the least he is smarter than him by
comparison .......

This is a fact that he really doesn't want to admit!

"It's them. The Wolf fang gang brothers were killed by that one dressed in white when they
were collecting protection fees at the entrance."

Just at that moment, a group of people with violent auras come towards them. The one speaking and
running in front towards them is a rather plump man. A man that seems a little familiar.
You XiaoMo takes a clearer look. He seems to have seen this person outside WuFeng town
because his appearance is rather eye-catching. Unexpectedly, he is together with those two people.
Really devious. After cursing him on the inside, he immediately jumps behind Ling Xiao. He is not a
coward, really, not a coward. It's just that right now he doesn't have the qualification to arrogantly
ride his horse to the front.

Ling Xiao just comes to a firm stop and that group of people have already rushed up to him. Seven
people altogether. The highest is One star Moon level. A boorish strong man. But his state is not too
stable. Most probably he just had a breakthrough not too long ago. There isn't one among them that he
recognizes. That group of people that he encountered in HunJi city does not appear.

The cold and sinister burly man takes two large strides forward. With the back of a tiger and waist
of a bear, looking like he is very awesome. His look of disdain falls on Ling Xiao. He lifts up the
large axe on his shoulder and says in a cold voice: "Are you going to end your own life or do you
want the great me to do it for you?"

A slight smile appears on Ling Xiao's face, "But I'd rather choose the third option."

Not waiting for the burly guy to speak, You XiaoMo simply sticks out his head from under Ling
Xiao's arm, asking curiously, "What is the third option?"

Ling Xiao smiles, "They die!"

You XiaoMo shivers and immediately shrinks back his head.

The burly guy immediately overflows with murderous intent. Without one word of greeting, he lifts
the large axe and brings it down forcefully on Ling Xiao's head. The result is as expected. How much
ability can a One star Moon level martial artist can have? It is only enough to dominate WuFeng town.

Ling Xiao sends him flying with a flip of his hand. He doesn't know how heavy and light, these two
words are written when he takes action. So the two hundred over catty burly man flies into the wall in
an instant. Blood flows down the wall. By the time he falls back onto the ground, blood is flowing
from all seven openings, four limbs are twitching endlessly, more breath coming out than going in.

Everyone suddenly feels a rush of cold wind rising from their feet to the bottom of their hearts.

That Moon level martial artist actually just had a breakthrough not too long ago. The one who
helped him breakthrough is their new gang leader. In order to foster a trusted subordinate for himself,
he helped the burly man increase his strength. He probably didn't expect that not even one day later,
his 'trusted subordinate' is already dead. If the new gang leader finds out, he definitely would rage
like thunder.

The cowards are terrified, immediately running away leaving a trail of smoke. Running until a very
far distance, one of them finally stops and speaks to them in a hateful tone, "If you have the guts,
don't run. Wait there and our gang leader will definitely give you a good beating!"
Saying that, he himself runs away.

"Elder brother Ling, how about we leave here now?"

You XiaoMo walks out from behind Ling Xiao and frowns. Looking at the behavior of these
people, they clearly are not going to let them off.

"Are we not in the process of leaving right now?"

Ling Xiao laughs as he glances at him. He then walks leisurely as if going on a stroll.

You XiaoMo rubs his nose in resentment, "I mean right away, before those people come back."

Ling Xiao suddenly stops walking. A profound pair of eyes lock on to You XiaoMo. His lips start
to curve upwards, "What are you worried about? Can it be that you're afraid I can't defeat
them?"

Of course ....... not!

After hearing these words, You XiaoMo realizes one thing. Although he is now already a member
of Long Xiao continent, this great land, his thinking is still stuck in the past, not the least bit changed.
If someone encounters this situation in the twenty first century, most people would indeed
unconsciously avoid them. But this type of behavior, in Long Xiao continent, where strength is
revered, would be regarded as a sign of weakness.

Unless your strength is not as high as your opponent, otherwise, if you keep withdrawing
repeatedly, other people will think that you are only a paper tiger, a weakling with no honor.

Seeing him quiet and pensive, Ling Xiao raises his brows in surprise.

Usually, he would definitely argue with him only stopping when his face is completely red. Now
that he is silent, it is instead a little strange.

"Little brother?"

Ling Xiao calls out to him questioningly. As for why he wants to know, God only knows.

You XiaoMo suddenly raises his head and grins at him. He walks over and grabs his arm urging
him to continue walking while saying, "Elder brother Ling. I'm not worried about anything. I
know you are very awesome. Wolf fang gang those three-legged cats are simply no match for
you. But they are also unworthy of your attention ba,so we should quickly get out of here ba. It's
not fun at all here."

"There is some truth in that ....... "

Can it be that Ling Xiao agrees with him? But he still feels that the current You XiaoMo is a little
strange. It seems as if he just got rid of something, becoming free and easy of all of a sudden.
But the trouble that is on its way doesn't get any less.

The new leader of Wolf fang gang wants to establish his authority. So he has to finish off those that
dare to go against the rules he set up. And they are his first stepping stone.

When they are about to reach the gate, that gang leader finally appears with his group of people.

Note:seven openings - two ears, two eyes, two nostrils, one mouth

Chapter 118

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Hand it all over.Don't look, don't know, one look, one jump in fright.

The new leader of Wolf fang gang is not the boorish unyielding man that everyone imagines.
Instead, he looks rather young, looking about twenty seven to twenty eight years old. His face is quite
handsome with contours that look like it has been carved with a knife. The pair of red phoenix eyes
make his facial features rather feminine, making his whole body appear a little delicate.

Knowing that they want to leave WuFeng town, the delicate man rushes over after receiving the
information from his underling, just in time to stop them at the town gate.

The delicate man's gaze skips right over You XiaoMo and lands on Ling Xiao. He then frowns. He
actually can't tell this man's level, causing his face to fall. Those whose strength he can't perceive, can
only be of the same level as him or higher. Unless they have something on them that can conceal their
aura.

Looking at the luxurious clothing on him, the delicate man leans towards the latter. This person
looks very young on the outside. If he is of Star level and above, then he would be a prodigy. But if he
is a prodigy, he would have heard about him.

Thinking like this, the delicate man is even more confident that he can't be more than Star level.
Immediately the fear disappears from his eyes, "Dare to kill my Kuang TianLing's underling? You
all really have guts. If I were to let you leave WuFeng town today, how can I show my face
again?"

"Then what are you going to do?"

You XiaoMo speaks uncomfortably. The next time he comes across this kind of situation, he would
definitely pay the passage fee.

"Take out your weapons, gold coins, techniques, magic pills, and hand them all over. Also
each of you leave behind an arm and a leg. Then I'll consider leaving you a horse."

The delicate man's expression is very calm but that pair of pitch black eyes are filled with cold and
sinister vibes.

You XiaoMo is speechless. This person is too ruthless. Putting aside wanting to take their money,
he actually wants them to leave behind an arm and a leg. It's not as if he can cook and eat it .......

Ling Xiao can't be bothered to argue needlessly with him. He just brings out the aura that he used to
scare those strong forces before. In an instant, a terrifying majestic aura explodes out from his body
and sweeps towards the delicate man and his group of people.
Since it is coming from the front, the delicate man is the first to be affected. The force he feels is
much more terrifying than what those strong forces felt on the green plains. Under the intense pressure
of this aura, the delicate man feels his breath stopping, and discovers in horror that he can no longer
move the spiritual energy in his body. On top of that, the flow in his meridians slowly start to
stagnate.

This, this is clearly the aura of a Celestial level. Actually so terrifying!

The delicate man's face pales instantly. He is only a Three star Star level. Going up against a
Celestial level only means death. Now he finally understands why these two people did not take the
opportunity to flee WuFeng town. They had something to count on all along. If only he has this level of
strength, he wouldn't be hunted to this point.

At this moment, the delicate man regrets.

"Now do we still need to take out our weapons, techniques, gold coins, magic pills, arm and leg?

You XiaoMo giggles and then coughs affectedly before speaking slowly.

"No no no ....... there's no need anymore. I deserve to die. It's me who deserves to die. Please
let me go ba, my two masters!"

The delicate man changes from strong and powerful straight to good for nothing, begging for mercy
while trembling in fear. In the moment of life and death, dignity is thrown far behind. As for his
underlings behind him, they appear to be even more useless than him.

"It's not that we can't let you go, but ....... "

You XiaoMo beams while looking at him.

"But what? As long as you say it, I will definitely do it for you."

The delicate man says hastily, absolutely serious. He rather cares for nothing other than saving his
own skin. Otherwise, he wouldn't be hiding in this small WuFeng town.

You XiaoMo grins while speaking, "Take out your weapons, techniques, gold coins, magic pills,
magic herbs and hand them all over. This way, I'll try my best to consider leaving you a horse."

The delicate man " ....... "

Ling Xiao raises his brow, "Not handing them over?"

The delicate man's face turns one shade whiter and says with a miserable face, "I will, I will hand
it over ....... "

Saying that, he unties the magic bag at his waist and hands it falteringly to You XiaoMo. In his
heart, blood is dripping. These are treasures that he accumulated over several tens of years. All he
has is in there. Now that it is taken away, he is left a total pauper. He feels even more regret. If he had
known that this would be the result, he wouldn't have done such a foolish thing no matter what other
people said.

You XiaoMo happily takes the magic bag from him and without so much as a glance, puts it into his
own magic bag. He then says, "Since you are so obliging, we will leave you a horse today. But
remember to not engage in things like arbitrarily charging passage fees again, or else ....... "

"I won't. I wouldn't dare to do it again ....... "

Before he could finish speaking, the delicate man immediately cuts in. One time and he already has
to send off his riches, if there is to be a second time, he would have to write his name in reverse.

"Well said!" You XiaoMo smiles until his eyes disappear. He didn't expect he would actually be
such a sensible person.

The delicate man can't voice out his complaints. He just said these words to the members of the
other gangs last night. Never did he expect that they would be said to him today. It's really, really,
what comes around goes around ah!

You XiaoMo is extremely delighted to be a one time bandit. He hides the delicate man's magic bag
on him and leaves WuFeng town with Ling Xiao that very day according to plan. When it is almost
dusk, they finally reach another small town. The town is much smaller than WuFeng town but the
atmosphere is very good. None of that violent and murderous atmosphere.

The two of them randomly choose a mid level inn to stay the night. After having dinner, You
XiaoMo sits cross-legged on the bed and takes out the delicate man's magic bag. He then starts to
check his 'booty'.

Although the delicate man's outer appearance looks like he is only in his twenties, his actual age is
more than that. After all, if he really is a Star level martial artist in his twenties, he would definitely
be a prodigy. This kind of prodigy wouldn't be so nameless. He would have been recruited by those
strong forces long ago. He also wouldn't be hunted down like this. So his actual age is much older
than his outer appearance, at least a hundred years old.

You XiaoMo pours out everything except for the gold coins. Counting roughly, that delicate man's
total riches is actually only two hundred thousand gold coins. Although it is rather meager, he still
moves the gold coins right into his own magic bag. Then he starts to check out the things on the bed.

The delicate man is a martial artist. So the things in his magic bag are mostly weapons and the like.
There are only a few stalks of magic herbs and they are all low level magic herbs. You XiaoMo is not
a wasteful person so he throws them into his dimension. As for magic pills, there are actually a few
bottles, but the quantity is not much. Most are level three and level four. There is only one level five
pill. It is only effective for Moon level martial artists. Thinking back, that burly man who was sent
flying by Ling Xiao in WuFeng town with one flip of the hand must have depended on this type of
magic pill to rise to Moon level.
You XiaoMo pours out that magic pill and holds it up to his nose and sniffs it. It's definitely not
pure, with quite a bit of impurities. It's a low grade magic pill. Just when he is about to put it away, he
suddenly thinks of Ling Xiao. Stealing a glance, he sees him sitting at the tea table drinking tea.
Rolling his eyes, he says aiming to please, "Elder brother Ling, do you want these magic pills?"

Ling Xiao looks over at him and smiles slightly, "Trying to send me away with low grade magic
pills?"

You XiaoMo shamefacedly puts the magic pills back into the magic bag, "No ....... "

Actually he really does have that little bit of intention. The thing is, most of the magic pills he
refines ends up in Ling Xiao's tummy. That's why he has this idea, to let him have these low grade
magic pills instead.

After going through the magic herbs and magic pills, You XiaoMo lifts up the few scrolls of
techniques. Except for one mid level low grade technique, the others are basically low level. These
are of no use to him so he bundles them up and throws them into some corner in his dimension. Now
he basically no longer uses magic bags. Whatever he takes, he would just put it in the dimension
because the dimension is safer. Magic bags can be stolen or snatched at any time, unsafe.

After that, are a few weapons and some magic beast hide, fur and the like, all the things that have to
do with martial artists, are all found in the delicate man's magic bag. After he packs up all those
things and sends them into his dimension, only one thing remains on the bed.

You XiaoMo looks at the thing in surprise and raises his brows. He picks it up with one hand and
opens it up. It actually is a quarter of a sheepskin map. Can this be ....... this is a treasure map?

A gleam suddenly flashes in You XiaoMo's eyes. Full of excitement, You XiaoMo lies on the bed
and studies the map. On it is indeed drawn topographical features. But because it is only a quarter, he
can't see the whole picture.

Right at this moment, a layer or darkness envelops his head, blocking the path of the light.

You XiaoMo raises his head and sees that it is Ling Xiao. In an instant, he puts the sheepskin map
in front of him saying excitedly and tinged with expectation, "Elder brother Ling, look at this. Does
this look like a treasure map?

Ling Xiao declines to comment as he takes the sheepskin map. One look at the crisscrossed
contours, and he simply throws the sheepskin map back into his hands. Taking off his shoes, he gets on
the bed and says with disdain, "This is obviously a quarter of a map. How did you decide that it is
a treasure map? Maybe it's only a normal map. Furthermore, even if it is a treasure map, you
only have one piece. Don't tell me you're actually thinking of going to look for the other three
pieces?"

You XiaoMo pouts in frustration, unable to deny the truth in his words.
In reality he was only wondering. It's not as if he really wants to go look for whatever treasure. But
he still feels that this notion is a little unrealistic. If it really is a treasure map, it can't possibly fall
into the hands of a sectless mystic.

"We still have to get on the road tomorrow. Go to sleep."

Ling Xiao puts his arms around his waist and pulls him into his arms, then covers them with a quilt.

The stuffed quilt is still for a moment before it is kicked a few times by You XiaoMo. At the same
time an alarmed voice cries out, "Sleep means sleep. Why are you taking off my clothes ....... "

"Oh, I prefer ....... that you sleep naked."

" ....... "

Chapter 119

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Fox spirit.The next day, Ling Xiao simply puts the sulky You XiaoMo over his shoulder and heads
straight back to TianXin sect.

After being on the road for one whole day without any stops, You XiaoMo is only put down when
they reach the foothills of TianXin sect. He feels that his stomach is clamoring with unease, but since
he didn't eat anything the whole day, there is nothing for him to throw up.

"Elder ....... "

You XiaoMo wipes his mouth and opens it, wanting to question him.

Ling Xiao suddenly signals him to keep quiet, his brows slightly raised, as if having discovered
some problem.

Although You XiaoMo is not happy, he doesn't say anything more. He looks in all directions. The
foothills of TianXin sect doesn't seem any different from usual ah, but maybe it's just that he hasn't
figured it out yet. He asks cautiously, "Elder brother Ling, is something wrong?"

Ling Xiao's raised brows are now relaxed. Hearing his words, he nods while laughing, "Someone
is coming."

Before he can ask anything, as if to give credence to his words, two figures suddenly appear on the
mountain top. One following the other, they rush in their direction, arriving in front of them in no time.
The younger one, after one look at Ling Xiao, lights up completely. With a few steps he dashes up to
Ling Xiao and says excitedly, "Elder brother, you're finally back."

Ling Xiao smiles as he says, "The few days I wasn't here, did something major happen in
TianXin sect?"

This younger brother immediately nods his head like a chick pecking rice, "I'm not sure about
something major but Grand Master instructed us to ask you to go see him immediately if we see
you coming back."

"I understand. Thank you for letting me know."

Ling Xiao smiles as he speaks. Just now he felt that TianXin sect's surveillance seems to be much
tighter than it was before he left. Seems like something major happened. Otherwise, they wouldn't be
asking him to go over so urgently.

Saying that, he turns to You XiaoMo and says, "Little brother, let's go ba."
You XiaoMo is momentarily dazed and then quickly nods, hurrying to catch up with his pace.

When the two of their backs disappear on the only road at the foothills, the one that just was
completely delighted upon seeing Ling Xiao puts away the smile on his face. He looks with some
resentment in the direction that they left.

"Brother Li. Why do you think Elder brother treats that You XiaoMo so well? What is so good
about him?"

That Brother Li, although he has never spoken a word to Ling Xiao before, he still takes Ling Xiao
as his idol, since very long ago. Furthermore, his fanboy behavior seems to be growing. Hearing his
younger brother say that, he frowns. He himself doesn't understand, "Maybe that You XiaoMo cast
some spell on Elder brother causing Elder brother to treat him especially well."

Elder brother accompanying You XiaoMo down the mountain, when they found out about this
matter, they didn't really believe it because Elder brother very rarely goes down the mountain with his
brothers. Even if he did, it would be one big group of people. This time, being so unusual, maybe You
XiaoMo really used some dirty trick.

"That You XiaoMo. In my opinion, he may be the reincarnation of a fox spirit."

The younger brother speaks in a huff.

"Younger brother Zhao. It's better if you don't say these things out loud so as to not let others
hear you."

Brother Li warns him.

"I know, Big brother Li."

Younger brother Zhao answers unwillingly.

Naturally, You XiaoMo has no idea that because of Ling Xiao, he has been converted from a
normal person to a fox spirit. Fanboys are so terrifying. They can't sully their idols so they can only
splash the dirty water on someone else.

Ling Xiao doesn't send him all the way to Earth peak. The two of them part ways at the fork in the
road. Since it is TianXin sect's domain, he isn't worried that You XiaoMo would be bullied and the
like. After all, he is still Kong Wen's direct disciple. If you don't do it for the monk's sake, you still
have to do it for Buddha's sake.

After being away for a few days, You XiaoMo doesn't immediately go back to his room upon
returning to Earth peak. Instead he goes looking for Fang ChenLe but to no avail. Then he finds out
from the other disciples that Elder brother and Second brother are still at Yun Shui peak with Uncle
Ye and would only back in a few days.
Then he also goes to see Kong Wen. After all, he still has the nominal title of disciple hanging on
him so naturally he has to give his greetings to his Master upon coming back, lest other people say
that he doesn't respect his elders.

Kong Wen also doesn't feel it's strange. He doesn't ask where he and Ling Xiao went after going
down the mountain, or what they did. He only asked a few routine questions before letting him go.

After coming out, You XiaoMo finally heaves a sigh of relief. Every time he goes to see Kong Wen,
he would feel significant pressure in his heart. As for why he didn't ask, Ling Xiao said that day that
he had arranged everything. Presumably he had also made up an excuse so he has nothing to worry
about.

After returning to his room, You XiaoMo remembers that he already hasn't refined magic pills for
quite a few days. He wonders if his actions would be rusty.

But before that, he washes himself from head to tail once over, then has a lovely dinner before
reading a book, right up to Hai period. After making sure that no one would come look for him, he
tidies his things and closes the door and windows tightly and enters his dimension.

These few days he was at the mercy of Ling Xiao. Every night he was hugged by Ling Xiao while
sleeping so he didn't go in and tidy the magic herbs these few days. Now, ninety percent of the magic
herbs in magic herb fields are already mature, swaying in the wind.

Harvesting magic herbs is already something he is so used to that it is like driving a light carriage
down a familiar road. He finishes harvesting them all in under two hours. Then he plants more seeds
again. Only this time he doesn't plant them all with level two and level three magic herb seeds. He
leaves fifteen pieces to be planted with mid level magic herbs.

After finishing sprinkling the seeds, he waters them with diluted magic water one by one. It is one
hour later by the time he finishes. It should soon be daylight outside. He drinks a mouthful of magic
water to chase away his fatigue. He goes out once before starting to build his small wooden hut.

In the previous world, the university he was preparing to go to was most famous for its architecture
department. At that time, the one he chose was that architecture department. Although he didn't go
study in the end, he still has some understanding of architecture. Small wooden huts like this is the
most simple. After spending not too much time, and a period of hammering and banging, the small
wooden hut takes shape. Then he moves out the wooden racks and wooden barrels that he bought from
HunJi city.

The wooden racks were divided into batches by him according to the level of the magic herbs. The
wooden barrels were pushed together waiting to be used when needed. After doing all these things,
half a day has passed.

You XiaoMo rests on the spot for a while and then walks into the small wooden hut. He pours out
everything from the magic bag. Level eight magic beast egg, weapons, techniques, magic herbs, magic
pills, seeds, magic pill formulas, snacks, magic fruits etc. Everything is neatly divided into categories
and placed inside the small wooden hut. For now, he can't use the mid level magic herb seeds. Even if
he wants to plant them, he can't use too many. So he keeps the rest of them and stores them in the
cupboard.

By the time he leaves the dimension, the sky is already bright outside.

Golden sunlight shines on his window, bathing his room, making it extremely bright.

Although he worked for almost a whole day, he is not tired. You XiaoMo takes a few books that he
already finished reading from the bookshelf and runs towards the library. After exchanging them with
books he hasn't read, he changes course to the Hall of Enchanted Herbs.

The high spirited You XiaoMo has no idea that not long after he left his dimension, that magic beast
egg that he put on the table suddenly emits intense white light. The white light sparkles endlessly then
the spiritual energy surrounding the magic beast egg forms a vortex. The epicenter of the vortex is that
magic beast egg. A huge amount of spiritual energy is sucked in by the magic beast egg right until it is
almost unable to withstand it then the vortex stops, returning to its original condition.

Hall of Enchanted Herbs.

You XiaoMo walks towards Uncle Zhao's location as before. Unexpectedly, he finds that the one
sitting at the counter has turned into Fifth brother Zhao DaZhou. But thinking of his relationship with
Uncle Zhao, he feels that it isn't unexpected.

You XiaoMo takes out a few bottles of magic pills from his magic bag. These are level two magic
pills that he refined in advance. It's half of the one month portion that he got from Uncle Zhao before.
He completed refining them in advance so he conveniently brings it over.

Seeing him, Zhao DaZhou frowns, "Younger brother You, you already picked up this months
portion of magic herbs. Unless you have merit points, I can't give you anymore magic herbs."

You XiaoMo smiles, not minding his tone. He simply hands over the few bottles of magic pills to
him, "Big brother Zhao, these are the magic pills I refined. Count and see."

If it is Uncle Zhao who is here as usual, he wouldn't count it because he believes that You XiaoMo
doesn't dare to deceive him. Also, he has a hundred percent success rate, so even if there is a little
less, it's nothing, because each time the other disciples hand over the magic pills, it is only thirty or
forty percent. Some of them are even less than thirty percent. So, in comparison, You XiaoMo is
indeed a lot better.

But Zhao DaZhou is not Zhao Zhen. He doesn't trust You XiaoMo so he starts counting in front of
him. By the time he finishes counting, his face finally changes.

Nine hundred stalks of magic herbs is enough for three hundred level two magic pills. If the
success rate is a hundred percent, he has to hand over a hundred and fifty pills. As far as he knows,
even Elder brother and Second brother can hardly manage it. But this newly promoted level two
mage, You XiaoMo, after not even a month can actually do it all successfully?

Right now, the bottles in his hand, added up altogether is exactly one hundred and fifty pills, not
more not less!

Chapter 120

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Unusual movement of spiritual energy."Younger brother You. The nine hundred stalks of magic
herbs you took half a month ago, you've finished refining them all?"

After quite a while, Zhao DaZhou restrains the shock on his face. But the gaze he uses while
looking at You XiaoMo is one of disbelief. He would rather believe that someone is helping him out.
Or maybe he took his own portion to make up the numbers, the so called slap your own face until it's
swollen in order to look imposing.

"Not yet."

How could You XiaoMo know what he is thinking? He shakes his head.

Zhao DaZhou immediately heaves a sigh of relief in his heart. Looks like he is the one that is
slapping his own face in order to look imposing. It's just that he didn't expect You XiaoMo to actually
be so concerned about keeping up appearances. He can't help but feel a little disdain in his heart. But
he doesn't think that he himself is also especially concerned about keeping up appearances.

Unexpectedly, You XiaoMo continues saying with a somewhat casually, "I still have half that I
haven't refined."

Zhao DaZhou's mouth hangs slightly open, looking wide-eyed at him. It's quite a while before he
regains his senses. He abruptly stands up from the chair, his face no longer calm as if he is thinking of
seizing him for interrogation. Luckily he still remembers that this is the Hall of Enchanted Herbs and
he is currently sitting in his father's place. He takes a deep breath and calms down the agitation in his
heart.

"Younger brother You. When you refine magic pills ....... have you ever failed before?"

Zhao DaZhou asks probingly.

Hearing these words, You XiaoMo laughs uncomfortably. He finally understands why Big brother
Zhao suddenly turned so strange. So, he was the one that incited it. Immediately he hesitates between
telling the truth or lying.

If he lies, he is afraid that he would be found out by Fifth brother. After all, Uncle Zhao knows that
he hasn't failed before when refining magic pills. And the two of them are father and son. When the
time comes, he only has to ask his father and the lie would be exposed. When Fifth brother finds out
that he lied to him, how would he react? So he must absolutely not tell a lie.

But if he tells the truth, looking at his expression, he already knows that he made quite an
impression. If he gives him another blow, he would keep thinking about it, getting no peace.
Difficult situations on left and right, it would be better to choose a comparatively lighter outcome.

You XiaoMo says as if looking death in the face, "That ....... seems like ....... actually .......
haven't failed before."

After saying these words, You XiaoMo finds that Fifth brother's aura is becoming turbulent. Most
probably he is over agitated causing his soul force to become unstable. Looks like what he guessed is
not wrong. Raising his head, he sees Fifth brother staring straight at him.

"Fifth brother, are ....... are you ok ba?"

You XiaoMo looks at him, after a moment's hesitation, he asks Zhao DaZhou who is still staring at
him. He doesn't refute You XiaoMo's words because he knows that You XiaoMo won't lie to him.
After all, he only has to ask his father to know if he is lying. This point, he can still think of. But this
way, it makes it even harder for him to accept. Younger brother You's innate talent is clearly not even
as good as his .......

Both sides don't open their mouths again, the atmosphere sinks into silence for quite a while.

"Younger brother You, how ....... how do you do it?"

Zhao DaZhou somewhat unwillingly breaks the silence. Although he really doesn't want to admit
that he is not as good as Seventh brother, the truth is already in front of his eyes. His father always
teaches him that one can be proud but once must also be modest. Only this way can one become even
more formidable. He also wishes to become as formidable as Elder brother and Second brother.

You XiaoMo is stunned. Brother Zhao's response greatly exceeds his expectation.

He thought that Fifth brother would be jealous and hateful after hearing his words ya. After all, this
kind of thing happened quite a lot before. But from Fifth brother's words, other than the jealousy, he
can hear him humbly asking for advice. Really unexpected!

Because he always thought that since Fifth brother so loves to show off, he must definitely not like
to lose. Now it seems that he was wrong.

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo smiles and is not stingy with his advice, "Fifth brother. Actually,
the most important thing while refining magic pills is concentration. You can imagine that each
time you refine a magic pill, you are about to create a child. So you should concentrate all your
soul force on the magic pill in your hand. Make sure not to waste even a single bit. This way, the
rate of success in refining magic pills would increase considerably ba."

He doesn't have anything, but what he doesn't lack, is concentration.

It's because he is especially focused when he refines magic pills, so the number of times he failed
is zero. But this is only one of the reasons. Actually there is an even more important reason. That is he
wants to earn money. If he fails, wouldn't that mean he would lose the money from that magic pill?
Of course, this is not something he would tell Fifth brother.

Zhao DaZhou carefully considers his words. He can't deny that there is some logic in it. Perhaps he
can try it out the next time he refines magic pills .......

Thinking like this, Zhao DaZhou suddenly comes back to his senses. He lowers his head and sees
the smile on You XiaoMo's face that he did not put away in time. He can't help feeling somewhat
annoyed. He is the big brother. How can he let the younger brother see him like this? He immediately
puts on a blank face, "Seventh brother, if you have nothing else, you can go."

You XiaoMo smiles until his brows curve, "Then I'm going. See you later Fifth brother!"

From then on, every time You XiaoMo sees this Fifth brother, he would feel especially delighted.
He didn't expect that the face-loving, and show off Fifth brother is actually such an awkward and
interesting person. Clearly he doesn't admit it in his words, yet he is unable to keep it in, so awkward
that it becomes very cute. Just like the awkward Second brother.

After returning to his room, You XiaoMo simply locks the door and places the books on the
bookshelf. He then turns around and heads into the inner room.

He is definitely not anxious to refine magic pills because refining magic pills can be done at any
time. Furthermore, he is afraid that someone might come looking for him at this time. After going into
the inner room, he sits cross-legged on the bed. Speaking of the Heavenly Soul Scroll, ever since he
started training, he very rarely sits cross-legged like this on the bed to train.

Although the time he spends refining magic pills is also considered training, but the result is not as
good as training with a heart that is not occupied by anything else.

After preparing himself, You XiaoMo closes his eyes tightly. Silently, he invokes the Heavenly
Soul Scroll. A wave of soul force suddenly starts to circulate. He feels as if there is clear spring like
soul force in his soul, washing his soul clean. Then it slowly goes towards the space between his
eyebrows. When that space becomes flooded with enough soul force, that swelling feeling as if going
to break out from the space between his brows, right until a buzz is heard and that soul force suddenly
vanishes .......

You XiaoMo is completely shocked. He actually can't detect his soul force. His soul seems as if it
is dried up, appearing to be in an empty state. From the depths of his soul, he feels a deep sense of
hunger and thirst.

Right at this moment, he feels the space between his brows start to shine and heat up. Then the
spiritual energy all around starts to move, finally forming a small vortex. And the epicenter of the
vortex is the space between his brows. An enormous quantity of spiritual energy rushes into the space
between his brows, replenishing the empty soul, continuing for a long time right until the depths of his
soul starts to feel bloated. Only then does it stop sucking up the spiritual energy.

Feeling the depth of his soul humming in satisfaction, You XiaoMo slowly lets out a sigh of relief.
This type of feeling is too awesome. Like someone who was starving for seven to eight days
suddenly having a huge feast. This type of wild joy is something that is hard to describe with words.

You XiaoMo can clearly feel that his soul seems to be even more tangible than before. As for the
soul force, it also increased considerably. Much stronger than how it is when he is immersed in the
cruel fate of refining magic pills. Even ten or so days can't compare to how strong it is now.

After discovering the benefit of meditative training, You XiaoMo decides that he will carve out
time every day to practice the Heavenly Soul Scroll, to let himself get to a level three mage faster.

Right at this moment, a commotion is heard outside.

You XiaoMo immediately opens his eyes and looks to the window in surprise. Multiple shadows
can be seen along with the sound of many footsteps and whispering voices. But these people seem to
be standing outside his room.

You XiaoMo puts on his boots hastily. Just as he is walking out, he hears a knock at the door
accompanied by a familiar voice. He recognizes this voice. It's the Brother Yang from next door. This
brother frequently passes on Elder brother's messages to him.

Opening the door, You XiaoMo sees that the few brothers staying nearby are actually all outside. A
look of surprise flashes across his eyes. He turns to Brother Yang and asks, "Big brother Yang, did
something happen?"

Brother Yang first glances inside his room and then asks doubtfully, "Younger brother You, were
you training just now?"

You XiaoMo face shows his surprise, "Brother ....... how did you know?"

He clearly shut the windows and door tightly. Other people shouldn't have been able to see him
training inside ba?

Brother Yang looks at his clueless expression and simply explains, "When you were training just
now, you seem to have triggered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The surrounding
spiritual energy was sucked in by you. Everyone jumped in fright so we came over. You didn't
realize it?"

A few of them were refining magic pills so after getting a shock, naturally the magic pill in the
cauldrons were rendered useless, causing quite a few people to be quite angry at him. But after
thinking about it, he still decides not to tell this matter to You XiaoMo.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know it could be like this. Giving brothers a scare."

You XiaoMo exclaims 'ah'. He really didn't know. Although he can feel himself drawing in spiritual
energy, he has no idea what it was like outside. If they know that he was practicing Heavenly Soul
Scroll, he is afraid to think of the outcome. Thinking like this, his whole back fills with cold sweat.
You XiaoMo then steals a look at them. A few of them look angry and some are obviously jealous.
It's only normal to be angry after getting a scare. But where did the jealousy come from?

After thinking it over, he finally remembers that not long ago, he received that volume of
alchemical techniques belonging to TianXin sect from Master. Everyone must already know about
this. As far as he knows, the number of Earth peak disciples that managed to get this volume of
alchemical techniques is not more than twenty. No wonder they are jealous of him. It's a pity that that
volume of alchemical techniques is basically useless to him.

But this is just nice for an excuse. Luckily he already received that volume of alchemical
techniques. If not, he wouldn't know how to explain it to them. If Master finds out, he would be in a
lot of trouble.

Chapter 121

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Greatest fortune.Because he apologizes very earnestly with a good attitude, Brother Yang and
company feel that they shouldn't say any more. After all, his backing is not any ordinary person. They
can only drop the matter. They leave after saying a few sentences asking him to be more careful.

After sending them off, You XiaoMo heaves a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he would attract
so many people's attention the very first time he trains. Looks like he has to be more careful from now
on. Once would probably not cause too much suspicion. But if it keeps happening, it would be a
problem.

Although he doesn't know what it's like to practice TianXin sect's alchemical technique, the
difference between the two volumes of alchemical techniques is very large. The result must also be
very different. Therefore, things like what happened today, it's best if it never happens again.

But he underestimated the nosiness of the disciples. Not long after, him causing the upheaval of the
spiritual energy, moving heaven and earth from his training, spreads throughout Earth peak.

It seems as if everyone is talking about this matter. The moment people start to gather, the gossiping
would begin.

Quite a lot of people start to compare You XiaoMo to Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin. Because when
they practiced that volume of alchemical technique, they definitely did not cause such an exaggerated
phenomenon. It must be known that being able to move the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while
training is the greatest fortune.

That's why everyone is having a deep discussion whether You XiaoMo did some other thing.
Otherwise, something that even Elder brother and Second brother can't accomplish, how is it that he
can?

But there are no lack of people that think that You XiaoMo is just lucky.

As a result, that very afternoon, You XiaoMo is summoned by Kong Wen.

At first, he doesn't know that his matter has already spread. He only realizes when Kong Wen tells
him. Looks like the matter this morning already spread so rampantly.

But he doesn't panic. After that happened in the morning, he already prepared an excuse to deal
with his brothers. He didn't expect that the first one he would be using the excuse on is his Master.

The so-called excuse is actually acting stupid.

No matter what Kong Wen asks, he acts clueless. As a result, nothing definite comes from his
questions.

Kong Wen sees that he seems to really not know anything, so he can only chalk it up to good fortune
because he indeed has heard of these kind of things happening. It's possible for some people with
good luck to stir up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while training. It's just that he didn't
expect this greatest of fortunes to actually happen to this disciple who he never thought much of.

It's too bad that it's too late for him to say anything now. Kong Wen sighs while attributing it to a
twist of fate.

After leaving Kong Wen, You XiaoMo doesn't go anywhere else, heading straight back to his room.

On the way, he comes across a few disciples, male and female. The female are still ok. But their
gazes are full of curiosity and questions. On the outside, they appear like dainty and delicate demure
maidens but the reality is they are nothing like that at all.

You XiaoMo realized that only after ten days of becoming a disciple of Earth peak.

There have always been fewer female disciples than male disciples. It's the same for the Warrior
and Mage divisions. Among ten, there would only be two. Sometimes, only one. It's because of this
that TianXin sect has an excess of yang and a shortage of yin.

Due to imbalance of yin and yang, the female disciples are very much sought after. On top of that,
the male disciples will unconsciously take care and give in to those relatively weaker female
disciples. So a few of the female disciples have been pampered such that are now all rather coy and
spoiled.

You XiaoMo witnessed it before. A few brothers coming to blows over a rather pretty sister.

But what shocks him is, that sister not only does she not stop them, she pours oil on the flames from
the side. And then there are those that can't differentiate between green, red, black or white before
beating people up. After beating people up, they still feel that they are in the right, their pampered and
willful character in full display.

This type of character, is not something he as a puny little mage can stomach. So, seeing their
gentle, delicate and bashful appearance, he feels like his teeth are aching. Those that don't know the
reality would never imagine that they are all, each and every one of them, female tigers that are ready
to bite.

This kind of situation, he has seen many times before. From then on, he gave up on the demure
maidens of TianXin sect.

After returning to his room, You XiaoMo rests for a bit. When his essence, energy and spirit
reaches the peak, he takes out that inferior cauldron.

He put the enlightened golden cauldron in his dimension. If he can't guarantee the he would
definitely not be discovered by others, he won't bring out that cauldron for now. Otherwise, he doesn't
know how he would be able to explain away other people's suspicions.

Also, this time, he no longer dares to lock the windows and door tightly. This is to prevent the
neighboring disciples from thinking that he is up to something again. If that gets out, he would have to
explain himself to Kong Wen again.

This time, he simply puts the cauldron on the floor and sits down cross-legged, getting ready to
refine magic pills on the floor.

You XiaoMo takes out the magic herbs that he got from the Hall of Enchanted Herbs half a month
ago from his magic bag. Four hundred and fifty stalks altogether. He takes them all out and arranges
them one by one at the side.

Although low quality magic herbs are not good, they are actually very good for practice. Because
there are a lot of impurities, the number of distillations can only be more, not less. It's just right to
practice his distillation skill.

Speaking of distillation, You XiaoMo remembers one thing. Now he can at most distill the magic
herbs four times. But a few months ago, he did manage to distill the magic herbs with a record of five
times. But that time, it caused his soul force to be on the point of depletion. If Ling Xiao hadn't come
over at just the right time, who knows what frightful things would have happened.

After Ling Xiao warned him, he actually didn't try to risk it again.

But at that time, it was not long after he just entered TianXin sect. His soul force wasn't very
abundant. Also, that was before he practiced Heavenly Soul Scroll. Now it's different. He is already
a level two mage. His soul force is also much stronger than it was then. So if he doesn't do it now,
then when!

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo decides to give it a try.

You XiaoMo selects three stalks out of all the magic herbs. They are soul herb, white spiritual
herb, and feathered kale. These three magic herbs can be used to refine a magic pill known as Ice
magic pill. Taking this type of magic pill will allow one to increase one's power. But the increase is
not much, so each time, the quantity taken must be more, not less.

But the Ice magic pill is only effective on Earth level martial artists. Once they breakthrough the
Earth level, the Ice magic pill will no longer have an effect on them.

Even though it's like that, the number of martial artists in Long Xiao continent are as many as the
hairs on a cow. So there is no need to worry that there won't be a market for Ice magic pill because
low level martial artists can be found everywhere.

After transferring his soul force into the cauldron, You XiaoMo throws the three magic herb stalks
inside.

Under his skillful actions, the three stalks of magic herbs transforms into three pools of green
liquid. Then he starts to remove the impurities bit by bit from the green liquid. After four times, the
green liquid starts to get purer and purer. But You XiaoMo can detect that the green liquid still
contains impurities. Taking a deep breath, he starts to perform the fifth round of distillation.

Time seems to pass very slowly. By the time he finishes the fifth round of distillation, he actually
doesn't feel the least bit tired. The amount of soul force consumed was also just a little?

The fifth time is already a qualitative leap because the remaining impurities in the green liquid is
down to two to three percent. For a low quality magic herb, this percentage is already inconceivable.
Many people won't be able to achieve that even if they spent their whole lives trying.

Although You XiaoMo wants to try distilling the sixth time, his soul force tells him that this is
already the limit. Not the limit for him, but the limit for the magic herb. He won't be able to remove
the remaining impurities no matter what he tries.

But he doesn't feel disheartened. Being able to distill five times easily, he feels that this is already
very good. So he starts to blend the magic pill .......

The wholly absorbed You XiaoMo doesn't realize that when he starts to blend the magic pill, a
black shadow suddenly appears outside his window. A pair of jet black bottomless eyes takes in the
situation inside the room from a crack at the window. The black shadow only vanishes when he
finishes blending the magic pill and looks up beaming.

The whole afternoon, You XiaoMo tries out all sorts of level two magic pills.

Maybe because he practiced the Heavenly Soul Scroll in the morning, he actually only took a few
sips of magic water before finishing refining several hundred stalks of magic herbs. But because the
number of distillation rounds increased, by the time he finishes one hundred and fifty magic pills, it is
already the next morning.

Feeling tired, You XiaoMo doesn't drink magic water. He hastily tidies up his things before taking
a few magic pills to stave off the little bit of hunger. Then he stands up and gets on his bed to catch up
on sleep.

Right before falling into dreamland, the last thought You XiaoMo has is that these magic pills
should be enough to last Ling Xiao a few days ba?

This one sleep lasts for almost three hours, right up to Shen period, that is to say he only wakes up
when it is three o'clock in the afternoon.

If it was during his previous life, when he was living as a student in the twenty first century, he
definitely wouldn't have imagined that there would be a day when he lived with inverted nights and
days. For a good student like him, he would normally be asleep on the bed by ten at night.

But now, he feels that he is slowly breaking away from the habits of humankind.

After half an hour, You XiaoMo prepares to go find Ling Xiao while holding several bottles of
magic pills.

After coming back for two days, Ling Xiao still hasn't come to find him. So he decides to go look
for him himself and give him the magic pills that he refined. Of course, he would never admit that he
is going to look for him because he misses him a little .......

If Ling Xiao finds about this thought, he would definitely be very happy because the plan he put in
motion is a success.

OK, I think some of you need a heads up so ... I will be going off for about a month starting from
next weekend. Sorry!
Chapter 122

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Two major things.Three bottles of level two low grade magic pills can be sold for several tens of
thousands of gold coins.

If it was a few days ago, You XiaoMo would absolutely not be so generous giving all one hundred
and fifty magic pills to Ling Xiao. But now he no longer needs to sell magic pills to earn money.
Also, there is no lack of these low grade magic pills. If he really wants to depend on selling magic
pills to earn money, high grade magic pills are more worthwhile.

But his plan is that in a few days, he will try refining level three magic pills.

During this period of time, he feels that his soul force is very abundant. Refining level two magic
pills is already very smooth, as if it is something he can do with not much effort. The feeling is much
like how he felt before he had a breakthrough to level two.

While thinking about this, You XiaoMo already descended from Earth peak. But what he never
expected is that he would be stopped before he could set foot into the Warrior division.

The ones that stop him are two serious looking men dressed in silver armor. He saw this silver
armor before, the last time he went to WuShuang mountain. The guards who were patrolling the area
were wearing this exact armor.

The silver armor looks like it would feel ice cold but it is very powerful. These people are not
disciples of the warrior division. Instead, they belong to the group that guards the Grand Master. Each
and every one of them is of Sun level and above, only loyal to the Grand Master. Unless it is by the
decree of the Grand Master, no one else can move them.

From this bit, it is obvious that the one in control of TianXin sect is actually the Grand Master Tang
Fan. Although the Elders have the authority to speak, they have no real power.

After stopping You XiaoMo, one of the silver armored men uses a strictly business-like tone to say,
"No one is allowed to go in without the order of the Grand Master or Elders."

"But ....... I only want to go see Elder brother Ling."

You XiaoMo looks at the two stern looking men, their expressions appearing as if there is not the
least bit room for discussion. He is a little depressed and also a little doubtful. TianXin sect didn't
seem to be so strict before. Why is it that after leaving for a few days, it has now become like this?
He remembers that there wasn't this kind of rule between the Warrior division and Mage division
before.

"No."
The silver armored man is not the least bit convinced.

Although the other one doesn't say anything, his stern expression conveys that he probably feels the
same way.

You XiaoMo can only give up on going to find Ling Xiao. He turns around and returns to Earth
peak while feeling down.

While walking, he ponders if something happened in TianXin sect. If not, why would the security
be so tight? He thinks back to two days ago, when he and Ling Xiao came across the two disciples
from the Warrior division. At that time, they seem to have said that some things happened, so they
asked Ling Xiao to go see the Grand Master as soon as possible.

But at that time he didn't take it to heart. On top of that, he didn't hear any news after that. Earth
peak disciples also acted like normal so You XiaoMo didn't notice anything. He only assumed that
Ling Xiao was busy with some chores so he couldn't find the time.

Now it looks like something big must have happened. Otherwise, they wouldn't have set guards on
the road to WuShuang mountain.

"Yi? Isn't it little brother?"

Just when he is lost in his thoughts, a questioning yet unmistakably delighted voice suddenly cries
out from behind him.

You XiaoMo jumps in fright and then realizes that the voice is very familiar. He turns around and
sees that it is Elder brother Fang ChenLe and also Second brother Fu ZiLin. The two of them just
came down from Yun Shui peak, meeting him here by chance.

You XiaoMo immediately walks up to them, saying happily, "Elder brother, Second brother. You
have finally come down. I have waited for the both of you for two days already."

Hearing that he has been back for two days, Fang ChenLe laughs while saying, "It can't be helped.
It's been rather busy these few days. We were summoned by Uncle Ye six days ago. We were busy
right up to now, finally getting to take a breather. But we have to go back to Yun Shui peak
tomorrow."

"Why is it so busy? Wasn't it all good before?"

You XiaoMo asks in surprise.

"Little brother. From the time you came back until now, you still haven't heard about it?"

Fang ChenLe raises his brow in surprise listening to his words. But after thinking it over, that thing
happened six days ago. At that time, Younger brother You was no longer at TianXin sect. And by the
time he returned, everyone else is busy with their own preparations, unaware that he is unaware.
"Elder brother, so what actually happened?"

You XiaoMo didn't expect that in the few days he was away, something really happened.

Fang ChenLe pats him on the shoulder and says, "Let's talk while we walk."

As a nerd, You XiaoMo is not just a little bit attracted to these types of nosy things. Without the
least bit of resistance. So he is very curious about what Elder brother is talking about. Hearing his
words, he immediately follows them on the way.

"During the time that you weren't here, two major things happened. The first one has to do
with TianXin sect. Six days ago, that is the second night after you and Lin Xiao left TianXin
sect, something was stolen from the library. Supposedly something very important was stolen.
Grand Master flipped out and ordered that the disciples are no longer allowed to walk about as
they please starting from that very night. Guards were sent to every strategic entrance. But the
thief should most probably be a martial artist so the Mage division is not too involved."

After a bit, Fang ChenLe starts explaining.

No wonder it appears as if nothing happened in Earth peak. But a theft actually occurred in the
library. Really quite surprising.

As far as he knows, the library is even more dangerous than a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. Not
only are there force fields inside, there are also aces from TianXin sect. And a theft occurred even
with all these. In the end, is it that the thief is so awesome or is it that the library's force fields and
aces are actually just for show?

"Elder brother, do you know what was stolen from the library?"

You XiaoMo asks full or curiosity. Causing the Grand Master to get furious, the stolen thing must
not be something ordinary.

Fang ChenLe smiles as he shakes his head, "That is confidential. I only heard Master mention
that supposedly the stolen thing is something from the fifth floor of the library. Only the Grand
Master and the Elders are privy to the information. But it definitely is very important to TianXin
sect. I have never seen the Grand Master so furious."

Unexpectedly, even Elder brother doesn't know. You XiaoMo doesn't ask further, continuing,
"Then the other thing ne?"

Fang ChenLe says, "The other thing has to do with everyone in TianXin sect. Talking about
that, has Little brother heard of the Paradise realm?"

Hearing the words, You XiaoMo can't help pouting. Of course he has heard of 'paradise'. But this
can't be that paradise. But why does this place have such a strange name, actually called a paradise
.......
"No ....... "

Hearing his answer, Fang ChenLe is not surprised, saying, "Paradise realm is one of the ten
greatest magical realms in Long Xiao continent. It only opens once every fifty years. Inside are
countless heavenly treasures, such as magic herbs. Everything from level one to level ten. But the
higher the level, the less there is. Also it's harder to get because every stalk of high level magic herbs
is guarded by a powerful magic beast at its side.

You XiaoMo nods reflexively, and suddenly thinks of something, "Elder brother. Then level
eleven and level twelve magic herbs ne?"

Fang ChenLe shakes his head, "I have never heard of the existence of these. Level eleven and
level twelve are legendary peak level magic herbs. Even rarer than high level magic herbs. It is
said that peak level magic herbs have not been seen in Long Xiao continent for over ten million
years. But even if someone finds it, it's still of no use since only the legendary mages with seven
colored souls can transform these two peak level magic herbs. Why do you ask? Little brother is
very interested in them?"

Hearing these somewhat teasing words, You XiaoMo laughs *hei hei*, "No, I'm only curious,
that's all."

"Ever since the paradise realm was discovered, level ten magic herbs have only appeared
three times. On top of that, it is not possible to defeat the guardian magic beast each time. Only
once was it successful."

Fang ChenLe sighs softly. It's a pity that that single level ten magic herb that was plucked did not go
to TianXin sect. The person who picked it is the only high level mage that can refine level ten magic
pills in Long Xiao continent, Qiu Ran.

Although at that time there were many sects and forces that were strongly coveting that level ten
magic herb, they didn't dare to take action. Offending a high level mage that can refine level ten magic
pills is definitely asking for death. If he needs to, he only has to issue a reward and many powerful
fighters would be willing to go all out for him.

"Elder brother, do you mean that martial artists can also go?"

You XiaoMo doesn't know what he is thinking on the inside, only asking things that interest himself.

Hearing these words, Fang ChenLe starts to laugh, "Of course martial artists can also go. Didn't
I just say that the paradise realm has all sorts of heavenly treasures? Other than magic herbs,
there are also a few things of interest to martial artists."

"Such as?"

You XiaoMo asks.


"Such as magic beasts, techniques and weapons."

Speaking of these, Fang ChenLe can't help revealing a hopeful look, "Magic beasts are attractive
to both mages and martial artists. But the ones that thirst for it the most are mages because
mages don't have combat ability. So if they can get a powerful magic beast, they will have a way
to protect themselves."

Hearing this, You XiaoMo's breathing quickens.

He actually didn't think of this. At the same time, he thinks of that level eight magic beast egg he put
in his dimension. If he can tame it, wouldn't that mean he would have a Spiritual level magic beast in
the future?

Thinking of this, he feels that all the blood in his body is starting to boil.

Chapter 123

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

The second option.Fang ChenLe doesn't notice You XiaoMo's strange condition. Neither does Fu
ZiLin. Because they strongly wish to have a powerful magic beast, especially Fu ZiLin. His eyes are
already gleaming. He has always disliked the fact that he doesn't have the power to protect himself.

Although mages and martial artists have a interdependent relationship, in reality, this is not the only
road for mages. They are also not required to take this road because they have a better option.

Magic beasts are a better option for them. It is the best option. Most of the famous mages will
choose a magic beast, not a martial artist, to be their protector. There is a good saying: human hearts
are unpredictable.

Sometimes, even the person who shares a pillow with you would betray you, what more a person
that is by your side only for some benefit. Rather than being worried and anxious every day, it would
be better to choose to tame a magic beast.

Taming magic beasts is the second ability of mages. This ability is something only mages have
because they have soul forces. That's why martial artists don't have the ability.

The most crucial key to taming magic beasts is the soul force. The more gentle and powerful the
soul force, the higher the success rate. But this success rate is only applicable to relatively weaker
magic beasts. Those stronger higher level magic beasts, most of them would have awakened, making
it harder.

So, the best way is to take advantage of the time before they awaken. That is the time before they
grow into high level magic beasts. Only this way will it be able to tame high level magic beasts.

When the magic beasts are tamed, the imprint of the mage's soul force will be left inside the magic
beast's body. This type of imprint can restrict the magic beast, not allowing them to turn against the
mage. Therefore, it is much better than taking a martial artist as a partner. The mages can almost not
need to worry about being betrayed.

But it's not as if you can get it just because you want it. Because only high level mages can tame
high level magic beasts. That's why the majority of those that have high level magic beasts in Long
Xiao continent are high level mages.

Also, not all high level mages can have a high level magic beast. Due to issues with the bloodline,
high level magic beasts have a difficult time producing progeny, unlike the flood of low level magic
beasts.

But You XiaoMo doesn't know these things because the manuals and things relating to mages taming
magic beasts are located on the third floor of the library. And he still doesn't have the authority to go
to the third level of the library.

The only time he went there, he only had two hours. Basically no time for him to look at other
books. Furthermore, there are so many books in there so even if he wants to look for it, there is no
guarantee that he would be able to find them within the stipulated time.

After calming down, You XiaoMo continues with his questions, "Elder brother, what about those
techniques and weapons? Can it be that the Paradise realm can produce techniques and
weapons on its own?"

"Of course not."

Fang ChenLe laughs in amusement at his words. Techniques and weapons are made by men. Of
course they can't just appear, "The Paradise realm is actually a small world. Legend has it, in
ancient times, a powerful person with divine power opened up this dimension. He groomed a lot
of mages and martial artists in there. Then something must have happened that caused them to
die. That powerful person also seems to have suffered a downfall. But these are all guesses.
Until now, no one knows what really happened."

Speaking of dimensions, You XiaoMo unconsciously thinks of Ling Xiao's dimension.

Speaking truthfully, that day when they left HunJi city, Ling Xiao really gave him a shock. He had
no idea that Ling Xiao actually has a dimension. On top of that, the dimension is much bigger than his,
simply no end in sight.

Talking about the differences, it has to do with the lake and magical creatures. His dimension has a
lake with magic water. Ling Xiao's dimension doesn't have it but it has magical creatures. Also the
concentration of spiritual energy is very high, definitely a precious place for training and growing
magic herbs.

Only then does You XiaoMo understand why Ling Xiao is not interested in his dimension. Because
his dimension is bigger than his by who knows how many times. So before, he was only worrying for
nothing. As for why Ling Xiao has a dimension, this idiot when it comes to martial artists also has no
idea. He only assumes that Ling Xiao is just lucky like him for having a personal dimension.

"Elder brother, when will that Paradise realm open up?"

You XiaoMo asks full of hope.

"According to the information, the Paradise realm will open up in three months time. If little
brother wants to go, you have to seize the time to train."

Fang ChenLe knows that he is interested so he doesn't hide the truth from him. After all, this matter
is known by everyone in TianXin sect. It's only this Little brother that loves to go into seclusion that
doesn't know.
Three months is actually a very long time ya. You XiaoMo thought it would be half a month or one
month.

But Fang ChenLe's last words makes him very anxious, so he asks, "Elder brother, why do I have
to intensify my training? Can it be that I can't go?"

Fang ChenLe sees that he is very anxious and agitated so he consoles him, "You don't have to be
anxious, Little brother. Actually, it's not as if you have absolutely no chance of going. According
to the long standing rules of TianXin sect, only level three mages have the right to advance. That
is to say, if you want to go, you have to become a level three mage in these three months."

You XiaoMo immediately heaves a sigh of relief in his heart. Thank goodness. Although he is not a
level three mage now, three months is enough time. He is certain that he will have a breakthrough in
this short time.

"Little brother, you don't have to be disheartened. You still have three months. Although it is
a little tight, but if you try your best, Elder brother is confident that you will succeed. When the
time comes, Elder brother will help you convince Master to give you a spot ....... "

Fang ChenLe sees that he is neither happy nor sad so he thinks that he must be upset. So he simply
promises a spot for him. There is something that he doesn't reveal to him. That is, even if he becomes
a level three mage, it doesn't mean that he would definitely get to go because there are too many
people that want to go. Therefore, Earth peak only has six spots.

He and ZiLin will definitely take two spots because they are the hope of Master, so Master would
definitely give two of the spots to them. But it's not the same for Little brother. He can feel that Master
doesn't really like Little brother. The remaining four spots are so precious, Master will definitely not
give it to Little brother.

"I'll help you get it."

Right at this moment, the one that is silent all along, Fu ZiLin cuts off Fang ChenLe's words.

The two of them look at him in surprise only to see Fu ZiLin speaking seriously to You XiaoMo, "I
owe you a favor for the matter with Yun Shui peak. I will help you get this spot from Master as a
repayment of that favor."

"ZiLin, lets ask Master together ba."

Fang ChenLe shakes his head helplessly. He knows that ZiLin takes this favor he owes to Little
brother very seriously, so he doesn't argue with him. But it's still safer if they both ask together. After
all, the spots for the Paradise realm are very important. The other two Uncles also have a lot of
disciples under them.

Fu ZiLin doesn't object, clearly tacitly agreeing to his words. He probably thinks the same way as
Fang ChenLe.
The person concerned, You XiaoMo feels ashamed upon hearing this. He thought that he only had to
become a level three mage. Looks like there is a name list. But he suddenly thanks his lucky stars.
Luckily Second brother owes him a favor.

You XiaoMo feels a little guilty .......

You XiaoMo leaves the two brothers at Earth peak's square and hurries back to his room.

Although he regrets not being able to see Ling Xiao, but after getting such important information, he
doesn't have the mood to think about other things. Thinking that in this short period of time no one
should be looking for him, he simply goes into his dimension.

The magic herbs in the dimension were only planted two days ago but they have already sprouted.

You XiaoMo takes one look and then heads straight for the small wooden hut by the lake. The first
thing he sees upon entering is that level eight magic beast egg he put on the table.

You XiaoMo walks over and holds the magic beast egg in his hands. Looking it over, he suddenly
cries out in surprise.

Not sure if it's his imagination but he feels that the outer shell of this magic beast egg seems to be
brighter. At that time, the shell of the magic beast egg was ash gray in color. Appearing as if it is
shrouded with a heavy lifeless air, as if the egg is already dead. Now, separated by a layer of shell,
he can actually feel the heartbeat coming from inside the egg. Strong and powerful, as if it is growing
pretty well.

The presence of a heartbeat, does it mean that the small magic beast will soon hatch?

You XiaoMo who doesn't have much knowledge of magic beasts is puzzled. Looks like he has to
increase his knowledge on magic beasts. Speaking of that, he has already read quite a lot of books
from the second level of East pavilion. Yet he still hasn't found any books on magic beasts. Could they
be in the West pavilion ba?

Action is better than words. You XiaoMo immediately puts down the egg in his hand and leaves the
dimension.

Because of the theft that happened a few days ago, when You XiaoMo arrives at the library, he sees
a group of silver-armored guards patrolling all over the library.

When he gets close, the silver armored guard on the side stops him. Luckily he didn't send him
away. Knowing that he is Earth peak master's disciple, and that he wants to go to the second level of
the library, he allows him through.

Walking into the library, that old man is sitting upright at the table. Seeing him, he doesn't just throw
the tablet at him like before. Instead he first warns him not to stay too long in the library before giving
him the tablet.
You XiaoMo knows what he means so he nods before taking the tablet and heads for the West
pavilion.

Chapter 124

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Conflict.The West pavilion is usually frequented by disciples from the Warrior division. Usually,
you won't see many mages there.

This time, You XiaoMo is surprised because his soul can perceive that there are quite a few mages
inside. Although the levels are not very high, they are about level three. As for why he can perceive
their level, he himself still hasn't realized it.

Walking in, You XiaoMo doesn't attract a lot of attention. Everyone seems to be absorbed in
looking at the book or scroll in their hands. The whole second level of the West pavilion is very
quiet.

You XiaoMo also doesn't dare to disrupt them. He starts looking from the first bookshelf. Not long
after, he finds the bookshelf that has the materials on magic beasts. What surprises him is that the
bookshelf is empty for the most part.

Turning around, he glances at the disciples who are reading. You XiaoMo is surprised to find that
the books in their hands are exactly what he is looking for. He didn't expect that there would actually
be so many people looking up materials on magic beasts. Looks like the people that are looking
forward to the Paradise realm is not just him.

Luckily TianXin sect considered this situation, so there are quite a lot of materials on magic beasts.
It's too bad that because of the extraordinary circumstances, there are many people that want to check
up on things regarding magic beasts, so they are not allowing the removal of books from the library.

You XiaoMo picks a scroll from the bookshelf. Then he sits at an unoccupied desk and slowly
unrolls the scroll. What enters his eyes is a panther with an ominous glint in its eyes in a ferocious
posture. The medium grade panther known as the Strong golden black panther. It's a level seven magic
beast. Looking further down, they are mostly mid level magic beasts.

You XiaoMo raises his head and glances at the other people. Seeing that no one is looking at him,
he quietly covers both his hands with his soul force and starts recording the information on the scroll.

This is a shortcut only available to mages. He already used it the last time he went to the third
level. But now he knows that using the soul force to memorize things is like using the soul to take all
the contents of the scroll and imprint them deeply in his mind. No matter how much time passes, it
would never be forgotten.

But this method of memorizing also has its limits for mages. That is, it consumes a lot of soul force.
For normal people, most probably even before they can memorize one book or scroll, their soul force
would be completely used up. Luckily You XiaoMo is no ordinary person.
After recording the first scroll, You XiaoMo goes looking for the second scroll. This time, he finds
the one on low level magic beasts. There are relatively more types of low level magic beasts,
divided into five scrolls altogether, based on their type. Because the people looking up low level
magic beasts are fewer, so there is just nice a complete set available.

But five scrolls is still a lot of information. You XiaoMo divides it into two for memorization. He
also wanted to find the scrolls for high level magic beasts but he couldn't find them. After looking all
around, he finds that scroll in the hands of another disciple. Although he took it first, he still hasn't
looked at it, just sitting there to one side.

You XiaoMo looks furtively at that white-clothed disciple sitting diagonally across from him. He
sees that he is absorbed in reading the book in his hand. His eyes can't help but slide towards the
scrolls next to his hand. Slowly, he slides his buttocks over. A little at a time, right until the two of
them are now sitting face to face .......

This disciple seems to be very focused, not noticing his presence.

You XiaoMo carefully lowers his voice, clears his throat and then speaks softly to him, "This
brother, I'm sorry to disturb you."

Li Jun hears someone speaking to him from the opposite side and raises his head in surprise. What
enters his eyes is You XiaoMo's grinning face. He can't help frowning and saying brusquely, "What
do you want?"

Unsure if it is his imagination, You XiaoMo feels that this disciple doesn't seem to be too happy to
see him. But he is certain that this is the first time he has seen this disciple.

"Could you please let me have a look at the scroll by your side?"

"No!"

Li Jun immediately refuses. At the same time, he puts down the book in his hands and picks up the
scroll, as if he is afraid that he would snatch it.

You XiaoMo sees him pick up the scroll and then simply closes the book that he was just looking
at. Then he unfurls the scroll and says smugly, "I'm looking at it now. I can't lend it to you."

You XiaoMo simply gifts him one word: Shameless! But he sends it in his heart.

Seeing this act, this disciple clearly doesn't want to lend him the scroll. If he can't fathom that, he
should just go back to the forge to get recast. It's just that he doesn't quite understand, since he doesn't
seem to have offended this disciple before ba?

But not being able to borrow that scroll, he feels a little down inside. Looks like he can only come
again tomorrow.
Just when he picks up the scroll on the desk and is about to leave, a delighted and surprised voice
comes from behind him. It's not very loud but it is heard very clearly inside the quiet library.

"Big brother You?"

You XiaoMo feels that the voice is rather familiar. He turns around to find that the one calling him
is the person he hasn't seen again ever since the assessment, Jiang Liu. He is dressed in a dark blue
robe that is only worn by Heaven peak disciples. The same robe as Earth peak, except that Earth peak
robes are green in color.

Seeing him turn around, Jiang Liu immediately runs up to him in delight. His pretty face is very
eye-catching. Furthermore, as Heaven peak's most outstanding new disciple, most people there
recognize him.

"Younger brother Jiang. You're also here to read books?"

You XiaoMo is very happy to see him.

But just as he finished saying those words, he feels numerous looks of disdain falling on him.
Presumably they are all thinking, coming to a library, what else is there to do besides reading books?
But he doesn't feel that there's anything wrong with that.

Jiang Liu seems to not realize anything, only sitting down at his side. His gaze skims over the few
scrolls by his hand. He then says, "Yes ah. The Paradise realm will be opening in three months.
So, Master let me come to the library to read up on magic beasts. Otherwise, if I can't identify
the magic beasts when I get to the Paradise realm, that would be mortifying."

You XiaoMo is happy for him so he shows him the scrolls in his hand, "These are on low level
magic beasts. You can have them if you want."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Liu refuses. He looks sheepish as he says, "No need. I've already seen these.
I'm looking for information on high level magic beasts."

If You XiaoMo listens carefully, he would hear the slight arrogance in his tone. And the way he
speaks, coming off as an amiable person, as if he can get along with anyone, but the reality is, there is
an elitist self-important vibe.

You XiaoMo glances at him in surprise. He has already read them. Then why did he say that he
won't be able to identify magic beasts, those kind of words? But thinking it over, he presumes that
Jiang Liu was referring to high level magic beasts, so he lets it slide.

You XiaoMo informs him with regret, "Younger brother Jiang, you're one step late. The
materials on high level magic beasts have been taken by others."

"Is it ah!"
Jiang Liu's pretty brows frowns slightly. Suddenly he sees that Li Jun on the other side is looking at
a scroll on high level magic beasts. His eyes light up as he asks him, "Big brother, can you let me
see the scroll in your hand?"

Li Jun noticed his arrival long ago. Of course he knows that he is Heaven peak's Jiang Liu. Hearing
his words, he reveals a rather obvious ingratiating smile while handing the scroll in his hands over to
him, "Of course."

You XiaoMo's eyes immediately widen. He says to him in disbelief, "Big brother, I just asked
you to lend it to me and you said you wanted to read it yourself?"

Li Jun immediately looks displeased and glares at him coldly, saying unhappily, "The scroll is
mine. I can lend it to whomever I want. Are you telling me that I have to get your approval?"

"This scroll ....... doesn't it belong to TianXin sect? When did it become yours?"

You XiaoMo mutters unhappily. He realizes that this person is basically targeting him.

"What did you say? How can there be someone like you speaking to a big brother like that?"

Li Jun is immediately shamed to anger. He slaps the desk. *Peng* a loud sound rings out, alarming
the others. Displeased looks start to fall on them.

Jiang Liu immediately jumps up to be the peacemaker, smiling while saying, "Two brothers, don't
start fighting. This is the library. We're not allowed to make noise or we'll be chased out. How
about we each take a step back?"

Saying that, he turns to You XiaoMo and says, "Big brother You, quickly apologize to Big
brother ba."

Without waiting for You XiaoMo to speak, Li Jun snorts coldly, "I wouldn't dare to let Younger
brother You humble himself by apologizing."

The two of them echoing each other rather clearly implies that You XiaoMo is in the wrong. What
each take a step back? That last sentence is clearly putting the fault on You XiaoMo. Those that don't
know what actually happened are immediately tricked by the two of them. Accusing stares start to fall
on You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo is angered by Li Jun's words. He is clearly not in the wrong. Why does he have to
apologize? Don't think that he doesn't have a temper and is easily bullied. As the proverb says,
desperate dogs will jump over walls.

"Why do I have to apologize to him? Clearly he is the one in the wrong."

No one knows that upon hearing these words, Jiang Liu's mouth starts to smile in satisfaction. It's
just that everyone's attention is focused on You XiaoMo, so no one notices it.
Li Jun is furious yet laughs. Just that it is a cold laugh. Then he shouts loudly, "Great, you who
thinks that everyone is beneath you, You XiaoMo. Today I will teach you a lesson in place of your
master, you who are so disrespectful towards your seniors."

Saying that, he adopts a stance as if preparing to give You XiaoMo a harsh beating.

To everyone's surprise, someone suddenly walks in from the entrance of the library. That person's
face is extremely stern, looking at the group of people making a racket. He berates them, "What is
this? Don't you know that you can't yell and shout in the library?"

Chapter 125

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Complaining of favoritism.You XiaoMo looks in disbelief at Li Jun who is actually preparing to


strike. In his heart he fears that he won't be able to escape from all this today. Unexpectedly, a hoarse
voice filled with anger suddenly rises by his ear. Turning around, he sees that it is the old man that
guards the library.

The old man looks sullen. After walking over he shifts his gaze onto the one that just said he
wanted to teach You XiaoMo a lesson, Li Jun. His face is very solemn, his serious expression is
filled with anger, making others feel anxious. He then speaks coldly, "If you don't give old me a
good reason, don't even think of taking half a step inside the library for a year."

Hearing these words, it's not just You XiaoMo that gets anxious. Li Jun is also anxious.

Li Jun hastily explains, "Elder Sun, it's not my fault. It's You XiaoMo's fault. He spoke
insolently to me. That's why I wanted to teach him a lesson."

Then he repeats the insolent words that You XiaoMo said to him. Of course, he only does so
selectively. He doesn't mention one word of what happened before. In short, whatever he can push
onto You XiaoMo, he hammers onto him. In the end, he also pulls in the one watching the drama from
the side, Jiang Liu.

"Elder Sun, every word of what I said is true. You can also ask Younger brother Jiang. He
was there at that time."

You XiaoMo's eyes bulge open. This person is really shameless. Inverting black and white and he
still doesn't feel any shame.

Jiang Liu deliberately looks at You XiaoMo. The he puts on a troubled face and hesitates before
saying, "What big brother said is right. But Big brother You didn't say it that way on purpose.
Elder Sun, please don't blame Big brother You. I believe he didn't mean it."

Hearing his words, You XiaoMo can't help frowning. These words seem to be begging for
leniency. But he is not in the wrong, so why beg for leniency? Like this, it's basically providing
irrefutable proof.

If it isn't Elder Sun standing in front of them right now, but some other person, after hearing both
their words, he would most probably fix the blame on You XiaoMo.

Then, as Li Jun smiles while delighting in the misfortune of others as he waits for You XiaoMo to
be condemned, the serious-faced Elder Sun, not revealing the least bit of his thoughts, suddenly
speaks to You XiaoMo, "Tell me what actually happened?"
Hearing these words, everyone is stunned.

Those that come to the library often, all know that Elder Sun can be considered as the most serious
person in TianXin sect. He never takes sides, not caring which disciple is the Grand Master's
disciple. His thinking can be described as pedantic, because he places a huge importance on rules.

Thats why Li Jun's face changed when he saw him coming in because he broke the rules of the
library.

It's also because of this that Li Jun fought to be the first to throw accusations because he knows that
as long as he shifts the blame to You XiaoMo, he wouldn't have to worry about getting punished.

But he never expected that Elder Sun would actually ask You XiaoMo of his own accord. Thinking
of how You XiaoMo could reveal everything that he failed to say, Li Jun immediately starts to panic.

You XiaoMo also didn't expect Elder Sun would actually ask him. He rejoices as he says, "Elder,
what happened is ....... "

He doesn't have the heart of the Virgin Mary. Li Jun actually dares to frame him so don't blame him
for telling the truth. Furthermore, it's someone that is hostile towards him so of course he is not going
to go easy. So in a few words, he clearly explains the sequence of events.

Li Jun's face at his side turns deathly white .......

Just as expected, after listening to You XiaoMo's words, Elder Sun's piercing eyes looks
threateningly at Li Jun. He says with a rather cold expression, "Old me has already said before.
While in the library, you can only take one book at a time. As an senior, not only did you not
serve as a role model, you also caused difficulties for your younger brother and disregarded the
rules of the library. Old me would like to know when the books of the library become yours?"

Saying this, he flings down his sleeves forcefully, the anger on his face extremely terrifying.

Li Jun feels his knees go weak as his face turns pale. He says with trembling lips, "Disciple .......
knows he is wrong. Elder please issue the punishment."

Elder Sun snorts coldly, "Li Jun disregarded the rules of the library and disturbed the order of
the library. The punishment is you are not allowed to enter the library for one year. If you have
any objections, ask your Master to come discuss it with me."

How could Li Jun have the nerve to tell this to his Master? He says weakly, "Disciple ....... has no
objection."

TianXin sect's library is very comprehensive, seemingly containing books of all kinds. Researching
information, reading books as relaxation, all these are beneficial for training. So unable to enter the
library for a year, for a lot of people, is worse than torture.
After punishing Li Jun, Elder Sun looks at You XiaoMo. The latter has an expression much like
looking at death calmly in the face. A smile flashes across his face and then he says indifferently, "As
for you, making a racket in the library, the punishment is you are not allowed to enter the
library for three days."

You XiaoMo is stunned. This is too ....... lenient. This basically doesn't hurt him nor make him itch.
He quickly regains his senses and cups his hands while speaking respectfully, "Yes Elder."

Everyone is stunned. If they can't tell that Elder Sun is being partial towards You XiaoMo, then
their two ears would have grown in vain. Elder Sun who is famous for being stern is actually partial
towards You XiaoMo. This is a really shocking thing!

You XiaoMo is already considered a minor celebrity in TianXin sect. It seems as if everyone in the
Warrior and Mage divisions also know his name. Before, even if Li Jun didn't say his name, everyone
would still be able to recognize him.

But this person that everyone regards as a nobody in their hearts, is actually liked by the library's
Elder Sun. This is incredible news!

Darkness flashes across Jiang Liu's eyes. After waiting for Elder Sun to leave, he says with a
regretful expression to You XiaoMo, "Big brother You, I'm sorry. I didn't know that Big brother
Li is actually that kind of person. If I had known that he was like that to you earlier, I would
have definitely not let him frame you."

You XiaoMo reveals a rather obvious forced smile, "It's alright. It's only expected that you
wouldn't know."

"Big brother You, you don't blame me?"

Jiang Liu looks cautiously at his face while speaking.

"I never blamed you. I know that you didn't know what happened. That's why you said those
words. Luckily the truth is out now!"

You XiaoMo shakes his head.

"That's good."

Jiang Liu immediately heaves a sigh of relief. Then he ingratiatingly hands that troublesome scroll
on high level magic beasts over to him, "Big brother You. I'll let you look at this scroll first ba.
Take this as my apology for my wrongdoing. You must accept it at all costs. Otherwise I will take
it that you won't forgive me."

"A ....... alright, it would be impolite for me to decline."

Seeing him speak so seriously, You XiaoMo can't help but accept it.
Actually, he didn't really have to look at this particular scroll. There are still a few mid-level
magic beast scrolls that he hasn't read. He wanted to read those first while waiting to see if other
brothers finish reading theirs. Unexpectedly, he ran into Jiang Liu, resulting in all the stuff that
followed.

After that, Jiang Liu leaves early after not being able to find one for himself.

You XiaoMo takes the scroll that he was given. He said he didn't mind but that's actually not the
case.

Although his relationship with Jiang Liu is not very close, they are after all from the same place.
Furthermore, it's not as if he didn't bring up the fact that Li Jun was wrong. Not only did he not help
him out, he actually ganged up to accuse him, actually asking him to apologize.

And also those words that seem to be begging for leniency. Now, thinking it over, he feels that it is
not quite right. That was clearly pushing him into the fire pit ah. Actually, at that time, a huge lump
immediately rose inside his heart.

As for the apology after that, although he accepted it, some things are very hard to remove once
they have emerged. So You XiaoMo secretly makes a decision. If he were to see him again, he must
absolutely keep a distance away from him.

Jiang Liu has no idea as he leaves, that his fake ingratiating behavior didn't have the slightest effect.

Returning to Earth peak, You XiaoMo is a little depressed that he can't go to the library for three
days.

Ever since Elder brother told him about the Paradise realm, he can't wait to hole up in the library
for a few days. He urgently needs to get some information.

But thinking of Li Jun's punishment of one year, he no longer feels depressed, making him feel much
better.

That night, You XiaoMo spends two hours digesting the information he recorded down speedily in
the library. The next morning, while he is fetching water for washing up to keep up appearances, he
discovers that the news of yesterday's incident has already spread.

Many people are talking about how Elder Sun punished Li Jun angrily. And also how he was
partial towards You XiaoMo. Although most of them don't dare to say it openly, they still whisper
about it among themselves. Most of them are saying how lucky You XiaoMo is.

But even though Elder Sun's punishments were rather partial to You XiaoMo, the punishments he
gave out are reasonable. That Li Jun really did break several rules of the library so he should be
punished for a year.

You XiaoMo didn't expect that the busybodies of TianXin sect would be so amazing. Every time
something happens to him, it would be get around in the shortest time, making him extremely
depressed.

But You XiaoMo is a little hopeful that Ling Xiao will come look for him once he hears about this.
But after waiting for a day, and still no sign of Ling Xiao, he would lying if he says he isn't
disappointed.

But he definitely doesn't know that the reason why Ling Xiao hasn't come looking for him is
because Tang Fan ordered him to not go running to Earth peak all the time. In order to play the part of
Lin Xiao, Ling Xiao has been obediently acting as a worthy 'disciple' these few days.

Two days later, after You XiaoMo refined a huge heap of level two magic pills, he finally decides
to try refining level three magic pills, charging forward towards becoming a level three mage.

Chapter 126

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Level three mage.Inside the green and flourishing dimension, You XiaoMo takes twenty or so level
three magic herbs from the wooden rack. Then he enters the small wooden hut and takes out the
Enlightened golden cauldron from the cupboard.

He is going to refine level three magic pills so he doesn't want to use the inferior cauldron because
he is afraid that if he were to crack open another so soon after the tragedy with the first cauldron, he
wouldn't know what excuse to use to convince his brothers and master.

But the most important thing is that the original cauldron is only capable of refining level one and
level two magic pills.

Elder brother already said before, that level three magic pills is the first hurdle for mages. It
requires a lot of soul force during the refining process. If he is to use the previous cauldron, it won't
be able to accept too much soul force most probably causing it to split open or even explode. So, in
order to avoid that kind of situation, he can only use the Enlightened golden cauldron.

Taking the cauldron and magic herbs, You XiaoMo walks to a stone platform in the courtyard.

This stone platform is long and squarish. The length, width and height is about one meter each. It's
a platform for refining magic pills that he bought for this purpose in HunJi city the last time. After
buying it, he put it inside the dimension and hasn't used it until now.

Now he plans to refine magic pills in the dimension so it's just the right time to try it out.

First, You XiaoMo puts the twenty or so stalks of magic herbs neatly on the stone platform. Then he
moves the Enlightened golden cauldron onto the platform. There is a customized depression for the
cauldron on the stone platform. When he bought it, he had it made according to the measurements of
the Enlightened golden cauldron.

Level three magic pills, other than requiring a higher amount of soul force, it also requires more
than three stalks of magic herbs. Six stalks of magic herbs are needed, twice the amount for level one
and level two magic herbs.

The first level three magic pill that You XiaoMo wants to refine is called the South star magic pill.

South star magic pill is a rather unique level three magic pill. It's uniqueness lies in its ability to
increase the power of the Sky level fighter that takes it. But the amount increased is not huge so if you
want to increase the power by one star, you would have to take multiple South star magic pills.

But it also has its limits. That is, it is only meant for Sky level fighters. Also, it can't be used
constantly because once the body acquires resistance, the South star magic pill would lose its effect
on the martial artist.

As for Man level martial artists, they can also take the South star magic pill. But they must have a
powerful person to channel the medicinal effect of the South star magic pill. Otherwise, taking it at
random will only result in the body exploding and death.

You XiaoMo picks out the materials needed to refine the South star magic pill and then puts a stalk
of mountain mouse herb into the cauldron.

The biggest difference between the Enlightened golden cauldron and the inferior cauldron is that
the Enlightened golden cauldron does not have small chambers on the rim. So distilling magic herbs
can only take place inside the cauldron. Also, in order to increase the rate of success, most mages
will chose to distill the magic herbs one by one when refining magic pills of level three and above.
This way, the time it takes will definitely be greatly increased.

You XiaoMo doesn't want to fail on his first attempt at refining a level three magic pill so he
simply follows the pointers from the books to distill the magic herbs.

Without feeling any pressure, he finishes distilling the first stalk of magic herb. He considers for a
bit before simply throwing in two stalks of magic herbs. He distills the two stalks of magic herbs
separately inside the cauldron into two pools of green liquid. Because there are no small chambers,
he can only rely on his own spirit to control the two pools of liquid to stop them from mixing with
each other, greatly increasing the difficulty of distillation.

At first, he is still not used to it so the first time he spends close to half an hour to finish the
distillation. Fortunately, after the first time, the following times are relatively smoother.

More than half an hour later, You XiaoMo finally finishes refining six stalks of magic herbs. Each
stalk of magic herb is only distilled twice because they are top grade magic herbs, so there are few
impurities. If more distillation is required, the process would be more difficult.

Looking at the six pools of green liquid suspended inside the cauldron, You XiaoMo heaves a sigh
of relief.

Unexpectedly just distilling six stalks of magic herbs would take this much time. Luckily he has
sufficient soul force, otherwise there would only be a little soul force left after finishing the
distillation, meaning that this magic pill can only be wasted. No wonder a lot of disciples stumble at
this hurdle as level two mages. Seems like it is not so easy.

But if he didn't distill them two stalks at a time, the time spent would be even more. And he took
less than one hour to complete the distillation. Compared to others, taking close to two hours, this
speed is already very good.

After collecting himself, You XiaoMo gets ready to start the blending step.

Because level three magic pills require six types of magic herbs, the number of steps are also
greatly increased. Not just twice the number needed for level one and level two magic pills. The
whole ten or so steps, if there are any mistakes at any step, this magic pill would be rendered useless.

Some magic herbs have rather potent medicinal properties. In order to not overpower the
medicinal properties of the other magic herbs, the pool of green liquid must be divided into several
portions. Only this way will a smooth blending process be guaranteed.

Firstly, You XiaoMo takes a small pool of green liquid and merges it with another pool. The whole
process is done cautiously. After smoothly blending them, he starts on the second blending step,
followed by the third blending step .......

When he finished with the fifth blending step and is preparing to start the sixth step, his left hand
jerks suddenly. Half a second later, a *chi* sound is suddenly heard coming from inside the cauldron.
A wisp of while smoke curls upwards. You XiaoMo watches this scene wide-eyed and with his
mouth hanging open. He actually failed?

This is the first time he failed since he became a mage. You XiaoMo suffers a very heavy blow.

Although he already prepared himself before starting the refining process, but now that he actually
failed, he still feels a little disheartened. He thought that he would be able to maintain his zero failure
record. Unexpectedly he immediately stumbled at this huge level three hurdle.

It's alright ba. Six types of magic herbs is actually a little much. A momentary slip up is normal.
There is nothing to be depressed about. It can't be smooth sailing all the time although he feels that
ever since he entered TianXin sect, he has yet to experience smooth sailing.

You XiaoMo pats his face that has been stretched tight for more than an hour. Then he takes a sip of
the magic water to replenish his soul force that he had used two-thirds of. He is now certain that he
can definitely refine level three magic pills.

Then he again takes out six stalks of magic herbs and throws two of them into the cauldron and
starts his distillation journey. Because he already did it twice, this time it goes very smoothly.

Half an hour later, he completes the distillation of the six stalks of magic herbs. It takes a little less
time than before. Now it's time for blending. He raises his spirit to a hundred and twenty percent. If
he fails again this time, he would have to write his name in reverse and be known from now on as Mo
XiaoYou.

It's not the same now that he has the determination. His confidence and motivation is surging like
the waters of the YangTze river.

Another half an hour later, the Enlightened golden cauldron suddenly buzzes. Right after that, an
emerald green magic pill suddenly flies out. You XiaoMo has no time to deal with the sweat on his
forehead, hastily stretching out his hand to catch it. Unexpectedly ....... he doesn't catch it!

The magic pill falls on the stone platform, rolling a few times and is about to fall off when You
XiaoMo hastily rushes over, finally catching it this time.

The emerald green magic pill rolls around in his hand a few times. Its quality is quite high, on the
high side of top grade magic pills. Managing to refine a magic pill of this quality on the first try
leaves You XiaoMo very satisfied. It was worth it that he deliberately distilled it twice.

You XiaoMo puts the magic pill into bottle. Then he takes stock of his remaining soul force. Only
one third remains. This rate of consumption is too high. Like this, he would have to take a sip of
magic water after each pill.

Thinking of this, he can't help but thank his lucky stars that he has magic water. If not, after every
magic pill, he would have to rest for over half an hour before continuing. That's because his recovery
rate only allows him to recover half after over half an hour.

You XiaoMo takes half a sip of magic water and waits until his soul force recovers. Then he starts
on the second magic pill.

Time flows by in the blink of an eye. After that he didn't make any more mistakes. The number of
pills in the bottle increases from one to ten. The time taken also slowly shortens as he gets more and
more familiar with the process. At first, he could only distill two stalks of magic herbs at a time. Now
he can already do three stalks at a time.

You XiaoMo puts the last magic pill into the bottle and finally stops to rest.

Counting the hours, it has already been eight to nine hours. No wonder his tummy is already making
*gu gu* sounds in hunger. It's right about the time for dinner so You XiaoMo doesn't hesitate, leaving
the dimension right away.

The room is very quiet. There are also no sounds coming from outside. Maybe everyone has gone
to the canteen.

You XiaoMo straightens out his clothes before opening the door and stepping out. The warm and
cozy evening glow shines on his body immediately causing him to feel sluggish. He can't help but let
out a yawn.

The scenery at Earth peak is actually pretty good. Every time the sun is about to set, the mist would
start to wind around, making everything turn hazy. It gives of a feeling of what humans would call
fairyland.

By the time he reaches the canteen, because he is a little late, the canteen is already filled with a
sea of people.

Looking as far as the eye can see, everywhere is a mass of bobbing heads. Each table seems to be
occupied by a group of people, gathering in groups of two or three, talking very enthusiastically, the
noisiness can be compared to a wet market.

You XiaoMo swallows. Usually he also comes relatively late but this is the first time he sees the
canteen so packed. Inside, there is very long line of people queueing up to get food.

Just when he is hesitating over whether he should just head right back and eat his own snacks, a
voice calling 'Seventh brother' suddenly comes from his right. This voice is very familiar.

You XiaoMo turns around and looks over. The one that called out to him is sitting on the first row,
at the second table. That person sees him look over and his expression actually turns a little
awkward. If it's not Fifth brother Zhao DaZhou, who else can it be?

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Yet another favor.You XiaoMo hesitates for a bit before walking over while feeling very surprised.

His impression is that Fifth brother has always been indifferent towards him. Their relationship is
definitely not at the stage where they would eat together or shoot the breeze together. And yet it is
Fifth brother who personally calls him over.

When he walks over, Zhao DaZhou asks the disciple that is eating at the same table with him to go
find another table. And he says it in front of You XiaoMo. That disciple looks oddly at him. Before
leaving, he also glances at You XiaoMo seemingly not too happy.

You XiaoMo is depressed as he realizes that he is again hated through no fault of his own. This
person is also his brother.

"Fifth brother, do you need me for something?"

You XiaoMo sits down in front of him and asks.

Hearing his words, Zhao DaZhou looks at him strangely, "Didn't you come to the canteen to
eat?"

You XiaoMo is stunned for a moment. What kind of question is this ah? But he still nods, "Yes, I'm
here to eat."

What has this got to do with you calling me over?

Zhao DaZhou seems to be able to hear his thoughts, explaining a little awkwardly, "Now is the
peak time for the canteen. You won't be able to find a seat. It so happens that there is a seat
here. After all, you're only one person."

By the time he finishes saying this, his ears have already turned red.

You XiaoMo stares at him in surprise. He only comes back to his senses when he realizes that he is
about to be shamed into anger. So this Fifth brother saw that he couldn't find a seat so he called him
over. He really is the number one most awkward young man in his heart. Clearly he wants to befriend
him yet he comes up with an awkward excuse. Inside his heart, he is secretly delighted!

"Then, thank you Fifth brother. I'll go get food now."

You XiaoMo beams as he speaks, standing up under the shamed to anger glance from him.

After queueing for quite some time, he brings his food back and finds that Fifth brother is still
sitting at the table. He didn't seem to have made much progress with the food in front of him. He
thought that he would have already finished eating and left.

Zhao DaZhou takes a glance at the food in his hands. There is an even distribution between meat
and vegetables. It's just that the quantity is somewhat little. Also, there is only one bowl of rice so he
can't help but ask, "Do you usually eat so little?"

You XiaoMo nods while sitting down, "Yes ah!"

No wonder he looks so thin. Zhao DaZhou hesitates a bit but can't stop himself from saying, "I
urge you to eat a little more next time. Eating so little, you won't have enough energy when you
refine magic pills later. Don't cry your eyes out when you fail."

You XiaoMo is stunned for a moment before realizing that he is concerned about him. He then
simply gives him a dazzling smile, "Don't worry Fifth brother. I will eat when I'm hungry. I
won't let myself starve."

Zhao DaZhou says, "The canteen doesn't serve food at night."

You XiaoMo laughs, "I know ya. The last time I went down the mountain I bought some
ordinary magic fruits and snacks. It's all in my magic bag so I can have them at any time."

Actually, it's all in his dimension.

Zhao DaZhou looks at him with his mouth open for quite a while. Turns, turns out that the person he
is concerned about is actually quite an eater? Thinking like this, he immediately keeps his mouth shut.
He would be a fool to continue worrying about him not having enough to eat.

Seeing that he doesn't speak, You XiaoMo also keeps quiet and starts eating quietly with his head
down.

After just a few bites, Zhao DaZhou suddenly says in a thin mosquito-like voice, "Seventh
brother, about, about the matter last time, thank you!"

You XiaoMo looks up in surprise, "What?"

Thank him? Could it be that he did something good unintentionally?

Zhao DaZhou turns red in embarrassment. Thinking that he didn't hear what he said, he repeats it
awkwardly, "I said, thank you for the matter last time. If you didn't give me those pointers, I
wouldn't have improved so much. So, thank you!"

After that day, Zhao DaZhou went back and actually decided to try the method that You XiaoMo
told him. At first, he failed. But after trying a few times, he discovered the secret key points. From
that day on, his success rate for refining magic pills increased considerably. Now he can already
distill magic herbs twice with ease.
For him, this is a glorious thing. When his dad found out, he actually praised him. That was the first
time he received praise from his dad.

After hearing him bring it up, You XiaoMo remembers that there really was such a thing.

But, that was just him casually mentioning his own experience. He absolutely didn't expect that Big
brother Zhao would take it seriously. Unexpectedly, he actually tried it out. But it is good that it was
helpful. After all, he doesn't mind helping out his own brothers.

You XiaoMo laughs lightly, "Fifth brother doesn't have to thank me. I only said what I knew.
The key thing lies in your own grasp on the matter. Talking about that, this is the result of your
own efforts."

"No matter how it is, I still want to thank you."

Zhao DaZhou knows that he is being polite.

Seeing that he insists, You XiaoMo doesn't pursue the matter.

After a while, Zhao DaZhou suddenly grits his teeth and says in a low voice, "Seventh brother. If
you already finished using the one month's worth of magic herbs from before, I can make an
exception and give you half a month's worth of magic herbs."

You XiaoMo looks at him in surprise. It is a while before he shakes his head saying cautiously,
"How can that be? After all, Earth peak has its own rules. If someone finds out, you will receive
a huge punishment. I can't let you take the risk."

He definitely doesn't want Fifth brother to take this kind of risk just to pay him back.

"As long as you don't say anything, no one would find out."

Zhao DaZhou frowns as he speaks.

You XiaoMo shakes his head firmly, "No, maybe it won't be discovered immediately but I
remember that the Hall of Enchanted Herbs conducts an inventory check every month. At that
time, it will be discovered."

Zhao DaZhou says, "You don't have to worry about that. When the time comes, I have my
ways."

Seeing that he has his heart set on it, You XiaoMo feels a little helpless. He can only choose to tell
a white lie, "Fifth brother. I know you mean well. But I don't want to hide it from you. Actually
other than the magic herbs I took the last time, I still have quite a bit of level two magic herbs in
my magic bag. Didn't I just go down the mountain? I sold the magic pills I refined before and
then bought some level two magic herbs. I still haven't used them yet."
Zhao DaZhou's eyes open wide. No wonder he never sees him taking on chores. Looks like he has
been selling magic pills.

But that little bit of magic pills, how much can they fetch? But seeing his serious look, Zhao
DaZhou doesn't doubt him. Actually there are quite a few disciples of the mage division that would
chose this method when they are short of money. Even he himself would occasionally go down and
sell magic pills to buy magic herbs.

"You're ....... really not lying to me?"

Zhao DaZhou asks.

"Really, I'm not lying!"

You XiaoMo says dripping in cold sweat. Please don't make him swear it ah!

"That's fine then. But if you really want it next time, I can help you."

Zhao DaZhou's tone seems a little unsatisfied. After all, this is the first time he helps someone else
voluntarily. Also, this 'someone else' didn't ask for any repayment for his help. Because of his status,
when other people are nice to him, they all have ulterior motives.

You XiaoMo gives out an embarrassed laugh. He really admires this Fifth brother. In order to thank
him, he would rather go violate the rules of Earth peak. Although he means well, but if it really gets
discovered, even he would have to bear the consequences.

Strictly speaking, even though he is not the main offender, in the eyes of others, he is definitely an
accomplice or he might even be labeled as the instigator.

"That's right. Fifth brother. Three months from now is the day the Paradise realm opens. Are
you also thinking of going?"

You XiaoMo is afraid that he would keep on talking about this so he quickly changes the topic of
the conversation.

Unexpectedly, Zhao DaZhou becomes quiet.

When You XiaoMo is thinking that he must have said something wrong, Zhao DaZhou suddenly
opens his mouth.

"My father doesn't want to let me go."

Zhao DaZhou says.

Actually he really wants to go. Everyone knows that going to the Paradise realm is a good
opportunity. If he is lucky, he might be able to bond a capable magic beast to himself. Or maybe he
will find some mid level or high level magic herbs. Even low level magic herbs would make him
very happy. But what can be done? His father is dead set on not letting him go.

"Why?"

You XiaoMo asks in surprise.

Zhao DaZhou pouts while saying, "Of course it's because he's worried that I will meet with
danger. Because great opportunity is accompanied by risk. Lands of treasure like the Paradise
realm must be rife with hidden dangers. My dad only has me as his only son and heir. So he is
worried."

If his dad is willing to let him go, based on his dad's status, Master would definitely give him a
spot on the list.

"That's really a pity!"

You XiaoMo sighs. But he really understands why Uncle Zhao thinks that way. If he has a son, he
also won't be willing to let him meet with danger.

"Seventh brother, you want to go?"

After looking at him for some time, Zhao DaZhou suddenly asks.

"Ah? Of course I want to go ah!"

You XiaoMo reacts after being stunned momentarily.

"How about this ba? I'll go ask my father to help you get a spot from Master. But you have to
become a level three mage quickly within these three months. Only then will you have the
chance. Take it as me repaying your favor."

Zhao DaZhou says earnestly.

You XiaoMo doesn't know whether he should laugh or cry. Why are there so many people owing
him favors? So many people wanting to pay him back? But hearing him say it like that, he is still very
moved. Fifth brother is actually a pretty good guy.

"Fifth brother, you don't have to. Elder brother already said that he will help me."

You XiaoMo says.

Zhao DaZhou stares at him with his eyes open wide for quite a while before saying with a hint of
jealousy, "Elder brother is too good to you."

You XiaoMo laughs *hei hei*. Yes ah. He also thinks so. Although Master doesn't value him, it is
enough that he has an Elder brother that treats him well. Furthermore, he has another 'Elder brother'
that is actually also very good to him. It's just that he has never said so.
Quarter of an hour later, the two of them finish eating and go back their separate ways.

After this interaction, their brotherly relationship gets quite a bit closer.

Note:you must take with you what you can't finish eating - bear all the consequences

Chapter 128

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Tricked again.Feeling that he has gotten himself one more friend, You XiaoMo simply hums the
nursery rhyme 'two little tigers' on his way back, attracting strange looks from a few disciples.

There's no helping it. Who asked him to be only able to sing nursery rhymes? From small, he was
brought up under the strict upbringing of his parents. He can only watch news and current affairs on
TV. Cartoons, fiction, pop music and all that were all not allowed.

But it's not as if he couldn't watch anything. At the least, he gets to watch one hour of TV drama
every day. But what makes him want to rant is that nowadays the TV drama will broadcast two to
three episodes every day. He can only watch one hour so what the hell ah. After watching this
episode, he won't know what happens in the next episode. But he only rants in his heart. He is still
very much afraid of his parents' authority.

Pushing open the door and walking inside, You XiaoMo turns around and just when he closes the
door, a large hand stretches out from beside him. In an instant, it covers his mouth and drags him
inside with considerable strength.

You XiaoMo is frightened causing his three spiritual souls and seven physical souls to fly away. He
thinks he has encountered a petty thief but a split second later, he smells the familiar scent coming
from the body behind him. He also hears the terribly familiar sound of the strong and powerful
heartbeat coming from that person's chest so he stops struggling.

Seeing that he isn't struggling, that person loses interest and grumbles, "Little brother, why are
you not reacting ya? Don't tell me you're not afraid that I would defile you again and again?"

You XiaoMo immediately -_-||. This bastard. What defile again and again. He is a man! After not
meeting for only a few days, his skin actually got so much thicker.

You XiaoMo flares up, grinding his teeth and yells, "As if!"

He doesn't believe that he can get it up for a man. Although he was forced to experience
masturbating together before, You XiaoMo always believed that that was a normal morning vigor
experience that ....... had to be resolved. They were just helping each other. Furthermore, he can't
imagine two men doing it .......

Ling Xiao immediately stops his molesting actions. After a while, he lets out a low laugh with his
chin hanging over You XiaoMo's shoulder. He says teasingly, "Since you don't believe it, we should
just give it a try."

Saying that, without waiting for You XiaoMo to react, Ling Xiao bends down and lifts him up
horizontally.
You XiaoMo almost screams in fright but a second later he immediately covers his mouth because
Ling Xiao whispers something laughingly in his ear.

"If you cry out, you will cause the neighboring to disciples to come over oh."

Because of the strange occurrence that happened the last time while training, he already caused the
neighboring disciples to come over once before. You XiaoMo doesn't want that to happen again. He
also doesn't want to let other people know that Ling Xiao is in his room.

Passing the room divider, Ling Xiao carries him to the bed. After giving him a slight smile, he
throws him on the bed while he looks at him in horror. Luckily there is a reasonably thick quilt spread
on the bed.

Once he is let go, You XiaoMo immediately rolls to the corner and lifts up both his arms in a cross
in front of his chest, adopting a defensive stance. He then yells in a threatening manner outwardly
while shaking inwardly, "What do you want?"

"What do I want?"

Ling Xiao laughs lightly while looking at him, "Of course I want to defile you ah."

You XiaoMo almost chokes on his own saliva. He studies Ling Xiao's expression with wide open
eyes, as if trying to see if he is teasing or ....... serious.

Ling Xiao loves to see his furious expression with his eyes open wide. He is clearly a little lamb
and yet he loves to pass himself off as a little leopard. Although little leopards are also very cute, the
thing is he doesn't have sharp claws. Rather, he only has two pudgy paws.

Under his defensive gaze, Ling Xiao bends down and picks up the quilt with his hands. He looks at
You XiaoMo in the corner in delight, the corner of his lips curving upwards while saying, "Actually
....... I don't like to force myself on others, I rather prefer ....... consensual sex!"

You XiaoMo's cowardly heart immediately explodes.

Con con con ....... consensual sex. It can't be what he is thinking ba?

Ling Xiao can't suppress his amusement. As if seeing through his doubts, he says suggestively,
"Oh, it's exactly what you are thinking. How about it? Any interest in trying it out with me?"

Try try try ....... try your ass ah!

His poor heart. The number of times it has been provoked today is more than all the times added
together in the past.

You XiaoMo thinks pitifully how he can be so hateful. The little man in his heart is pounding his
chest. How is it that he can say those kinds of things with a straight face? Can it be that two men can
really ....... do it?
He must be losing his mind.

You XiaoMo shakes his head fiercely, determined to not give it a try.

Ling Xiao doesn't get angry. He suddenly pulls the quilt in his hands, pulling it strongly towards
himself. You XiaoMo is unprepared forgetting that he is on the quilt. Unable to stop himself from
moving with the quilt, he falls backwards. Without waiting for him to crawl back up, both his feet are
seized and pulled over.

By the time he recovers, Ling Xiao's handsome magnified face appears in front of his eyes, making
him jump in fright. No longer does he have that brave manner, stammering, "You, what is it that you
want?"

"Didn't I already tell you?"

Ling's Xiao gently caresses his cheeks with the fingers of his right hand. Whether it is his actions or
his words, all are tinged with sensuousness and seductiveness.

"But, but, I am a man ....... "

You XiaoMo is really red in the face, stammering as he speaks.

"I know. No one is clearer about that than me."

Ling Xiao's smile gets even wider. He says meaningfully, "And, didn't I already tell you before?
Man and man is really possible."

"Really?"

You XiaoMo's eyes bulge open. Saying that, he really wants give himself a tight slap. Now is not
the time to worry about real or not.

Of course, hearing this Ling Xiao can't stop himself from roaring with laughter. He continues
laughing while You XiaoMo appears -_-||, stopping only when he is on the point of getting angry from
embarrassment.

"Little brother, we only have to try it once and you will know whether it is possible or not."

Ling Xiao says this in a low voice and then taking advantage of You XiaoMo's state of shock, he
bends forward and seizes his jaw. He covers his lips with his mouth and sucks on them forcefully.

You XiaoMo is taken by surprise. Feeling his lips get numb from getting sucked on, he finally starts
to struggle. Because his legs have been pulled apart, causing them to lose strength, he can only use his
hands to resist him.

He has no idea that the more he struggles, the more Ling Xiao gets excited. His weak actions are
unable to shake him in the least. Those hands instead cause his whole body to shiver, making the lust
in his eyes get deeper and deeper, blazing hot and boiling. He simply unties the sash on his own waist
and tosses aside his robe. Separated by a thin layer of underpants, the swollen enormous thing in
between his legs is rather apparent.

You XiaoMo catches a glance of it when he lowers his head, and his whole scalp immediately
starts to tingle.

This is not his first time seeing Ling Xiao's little brother. It's also not the second time. Rather, they
have already met quite a few times. But every time he sees it, he can't help but shiver. It really is
extraordinarily big. Every time he helps him out, the next day his hands would ache terribly, even
making him unable to refine magic pills.

Seeing his reaction, Ling Xiao laughs in delight. He bucks his lower body a few times, using that
huge swollen and hard thing to rub the insides of his thighs.

You XiaoMo immediately lets out a gasp. As a little virgin, his body quickly weakens. He can't
stop his mind from thinking back to the the scene from the last time. Erotic and stimulating. His nose
suddenly heats up, as if something is going to flow out. He quickly covers his nose in fright.

Thinking of what that might be, he suddenly feels as if he has been struck by lightning. He he he
....... he really is becoming more and more abnormal.

Ling Xiao releases the little lips that have turned red from all the sucking. Looking at his
expression, he lets out a low laugh. Then he lowers his head again and nips on his earlobe. Soft light
nibbles. Then he goes further down from there. His large hands have not been idle. Moving slowly
from his face to his chest. His finger pads grasping the two little pink points on his chest. He gives
them a few rather forceful twists and pinches.

Such stimulating feelings, coursing through the little virgin's body making it twitch uncontrollably.
Waves of pleasurable sensation spread out from the two points on his chest like electric shocks, wave
after wave. Alluring moans escape unconsciously from his lips. The repressed voice almost on the
brink of losing control.

Ling Xiao raises his head and kisses his small lips, swallowing the rest of his moans. Then he lifts
up his other hand and quickly weaves a seal in mid-air, same as the barrier that he usually sets up for
You XiaoMo.

It's not the first time You XiaoMo is aroused. But every time he gets aroused, it is the same as the
first time, he finds it very hard to keep himself under control.

Soon he is enthralled by Ling Xiao, forgetting who he is. He wantonly entangles his tongue with
his, letting out slippery *ze ze* sounds. His hands instinctively circle around Ling Xiao's nape. His
legs squeezing on his strong lean waist. His whole body is hanging on to him like a koala.

Ling Xiao is secretly delighted. He is happy that the young man is crazed with lust because of him.
But his response provokes the lust in him making it surge again and again. He urgently reaches one of
his hands inside his clothes, caressing deliberately. Feeling the warm and velvety texture transmitted
through his hands, letting out a slight low moan.

Just when he moves his hands to his underwear, wanting to take it a step further, the sound of
someone knocking on the door comes from outside .......

Ling Xiao's hands freeze momentarily. By the time he wants to look back, the person under his body
already looks like a bird that is startled by the twang of a bow. Startled back to his senses, his whole
face in shock.

Notes:three spiritual souls and seven physical souls - in Taoism, there are three souls and seven
senses

Chapter 129

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

ConditionThe person knocking on the door is rather persistent. Seeing that there is no reaction from
the people inside, he knocks twice more while calling out, "Little brother, are you inside?"

Surprisingly, it is the voice of Fang ChenLe. You XiaoMo knows that he and Second brother were
not in Earth peak these two days. He didn't expect that he would come back today. Furthermore, it
seems as if he just came back not long ago.

But he also has to thank Elder brother. If not for him, he would have been peeled open and
devoured by Ling Xiao. Thinking of what would have happened, You XiaoMo feels a bout of
lingering fear. He flails his hands and legs pushing away Ling Xiao that is pressing down on him.

How could Ling Xiao let him run out? Not only is he now at the peak of arousal. And also his half-
dressed appearance. If Fang ChenLe were to see him like this, it would be bad for him. You XiaoMo
would definitely not dare to show his face to anyone ever again. He definitely doesn't want him to
have a traumatic experience. Otherwise, it would be difficult to trick him into bed next time.

Just when he is about to run out, Ling Xiao seizes his wrist with a turn of his hand and pulls him
back into his arms.

You XiaoMo thinks that he still wants to carry on, making him almost cry out in alarm. But he is
also afraid that it would be heard by Elder brother outside.

Ling Xiao holds down his flailing limbs and sighs deeply, "Alright la, stop making a fuss. If you
keep on struggling, I will really execute you on the spot."

These words are extremely threatening. You XiaoMo really doesn't dare to move anymore. Raising
his head, he blinks his eyes at him, as if saying 'Really?'.

Ling Xiao's heart sways when he sees that expression. He can't help but lower his head and kiss
him on his small lips, but it's just one time. When You XiaoMo's hackles rise, Ling Xiao simply pulls
him up and then proceeds to help him straighten up his clothes that have been twisted into a ball. The
same with his hair.

After making sure that he really isn't going to continue with the funny business You XiaoMo heaves
a sigh of relief. He then allows him to help him tidy up.

A moment later, You XiaoMo walks out from behind the screen. As for Ling Xiao, he doesn't
appear, not because he doesn't want to, but because You XiaoMo won't allow him.

Seeing that the sun has already set, if Elder brother knows that there is another person in his room
at this time, he is afraid that Elder brother's imagination will start to go wild. Although the reality is
really like that, subconsciously, he doesn't want to let other people know that his relationship with
Ling Xiao has progressed to such an extent.

Fang ChenLe knows that You XiaoMo is inside the room because he already asked around. But
after having knocked for so long, still no one comes to open the door. Thinking that something
happened to him inside, he is just about to push open the door and go inside when the door *yi ya*
opens with a creak.

You XiaoMo sees Fang ChenLe who has his hand raised and about to knock again on the door. He
lets out an embarrassed laugh, "Elder brother, why are you here? Did something happen?"

Fang ChenLe looks at his sheepish expression, appearing rather guilty. He takes a look inside his
room and after failing to discover anything, can't help but ask, "Little brother. Why did you take so
long to open the door? Am I bothering you?"

"No, no, Elder brother came at just the right time. I was only ....... too absorbed in refining
magic pills, so I didn't hear you. That's all. That's right, does Elder brother need me for
something?"

You XiaoMo hastily explains. He doesn't dare to tell the truth.

Fang ChenLe doesn't realize that he is purposely changing the topic of the conversation. Thinking of
the reason why he is here, he simply says, "I have something to tell you. Regarding the name list.
ZiLin and I have already helped to secure an opportunity for you."

"Opportunity?"

You XiaoMo exclaims in surprise.

"Yes, Master says that you are now a level two mage. If you can rise to a level three mage
within these two months, he agrees to give you a spot on the list." says Fang ChenLe.

Although there is a condition attached, this condition is fair and reasonable. Because if little
brother can't become a level three mage, Master would be criticized if he gives him a spot. But, this
was what they wanted. It's just that what makes him surprised is that the opening of the paradise realm
is three months away. Yet, Master insists that Little brother must become a level three mage in two
months.

He tried to persuade Master, feeling that two months is too exacting but Master's attitude was very
firm, so he could only let it go in the end.

He feels a little guilty towards Little brother. Before, he already promised that he would help him
get a spot. But now, there is a condition attached. In the end, if he fails to get a spot, it would be
somewhat hard to face him.

You XiaoMo is a little stunned, remembering that he is already a level three mage. But he can't tell
Elder brother that now. If he improves too fast, it would arouse suspicion.

As for the two month time limit, he feels that it isn't too big of a deal. He already expected that it
wouldn't go so smoothly. If Master were to agree to it right away, that would be strange.

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo says gratefully, "Elder brother. I will try my best. I definitely
won't disappoint your faith in me. Thank you. And also please help me thank Second brother."

Fang ChenLe lets out a laugh and can't stop himself from patting him on the head, "There's no need
to thank us. We are brothers. It's only right for older brothers to help younger brothers. Alright,
it's already late. It's time for me to leave. You should also rest early. Remember not to stay up
late refining magic pills. It won't be good for your health."

"I'll try my best." You XiaoMo replies with a grin.

Fang ChenLe doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knows that Little brother won't obediently
listen to his words. But the coming days are indeed really pressing. If their positions were reversed,
even he himself would probably not listen, so he doesn't try to persuade him any more, leaving after
some encouraging words.

After sending him off, You XiaoMo heaves a sigh of relief.

Turning around after closing the door, he jumps in fright at Ling Xiao suddenly appearing behind
him, "Why are you scaring people again?"

After saying that, he ignores him and is just about to walk past him when Ling Xiao suddenly grabs
a hold of his waist. His forceful arm reins him in making him feel as if his waist is about to snap. Not
waiting for him to say anything, he suddenly stretches out his hand and wreaks havoc on his hair. His
neat and tidy hair is turned into a chicken coop in an instant.

You XiaoMo's expression shows that he is furious but doesn't dare to say anything, having no idea
why Ling Xiao has lost his mind. He clearly just helped him tidy his hair and not long after, he
actually acts like this. Flipping over faster than flipping the pages of a book. Does he regret it? This is
the first time that You XiaoMo feels that men can also be fickle creatures.

In the end, that certain lunatic stops wreaking havoc on his hair. And just as crazily, he starts to
help him comb out his hair. Needless to say, his actions are very smooth, tying his hair back neatly in
no time at all.

Ah pei, now is not the time to praise him.

You XiaoMo rolls his eyes, "Elder brother Ling, what are you trying to do?"

Ling Xiao uses the red string in his hand to tie up his hair and looks at his masterpiece with
satisfaction. Hearing his words, he beams while saying, "Little brother. Next time, don't let other
people pat your head as they wish, understand?"
You XiaoMo is a little lost for words. He got into a tizzy because Elder brother patted his head so
this big shot, in order to defend his 'territorial rights', wreaked havoc on his hair?

But, You XiaoMo looks here and there and then asks cautiously while looking at Ling Xiao, "You
mean no one is allowed to?"

Ling Xiao smiles back at him, "Of course, it doesn't include me."

Qie! You XiaoMo rolls his eyes at him. He feels that besides territorial rights, even absolute rights
belongs to him. As if he has turned into his property. But whatever. After all, this is not the first time
he finds out about Ling Xiao's overbearing nature.

"The name list that Fang ChenLe mentioned, is it the list for the paradise realm?"

Feeling in a good mood after declaring his absolute rights over him, he recalls the contents of the
conversation he just heard from inside.

"Yes ah, what about it?"

You XiaoMo turns around and glances at him, not knowing why he is asking about it.

Ling Xiao lets him go and walks to the table, lifting up and arranging his clothes as he sits down,
"Kong Wen wants you to become a level three mage in two months. No matter what, this
requires at least a year. How could it be possible to improve in such a short time?"

So Kong Wen's intention is as clear as day. He just doesn't want to give the spot to You XiaoMo so
he comes up with this condition. More likely than not, Kong Wen doesn't want to estrange his two
favorite disciples so this promise was made more for the sake of Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin.

"En. Even I can make the connection."

You XiaoMo says without the least bit of surprise.

Ever since he told him that Kong Wen doesn't like him, he feels that no matter what kind of decision
or condition Kong Wen makes, he won't be surprised. In fact, Elder brother's answer is also
something he expected.

Ling Xiao sees that there is not much reaction on his face and thinks that he may be still be holding
on to some hope for Kong Wen. Getting closer to him, staring at his fair and delicate face, he suddenly
smiles, saying, "Little brother, if you really want to go, I have a way of getting you a spot."

Zhou Peng's strength is not bad. He has a share of this trip to the paradise realm. Furthermore, the
name list is pretty much determined. He only has to say it and Zhou Peng wouldn't mind giving up his
spot. When the time comes, he only has to find a volume of techniques that is better than the one he is
practicing now from the paradise realm and give it to him as compensation.
Hearing his words, You XiaoMo is a little surprised. He then grins while shaking his head,
"There's no need. I already have a spot."

This time, it is Ling Xiao's turn to be surprised.

Chapter 130

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

TraitorLing Xiao is at first a little surprised. Then as if thinking of something, he looks him up and
down, his lips suddenly curving up playfully, he guesses, "Can it be that you are already a level
three mage?"

These words makes You XiaoMo lose all sense of accomplishment in an instant. From just his one
sentence, he actually reached the conclusion that he is already a level three mage. It makes him deeply
aware that their IQs are really not of the same level. Too huge of a blow.

You XiaoMo's tone is one of absolute depression, completely devoid of joy, "This morning, I
refined eleven level three magic pills so I'm officially a level three mage."

Saying that, he takes out the jar of magic pills from his dimension. Thinking of the magic pills that
he wanted to give him before, he also takes them out of his magic bag and gives them all to him.

"Elder brother Ling, the blue bottle is the level three magic pills I refined. The rest are level
two magic pills but they are all low quality magic pills using the magic herbs that I got a few
days ago from the Hall of Enchanted Herbs. All for you."

You XiaoMo puts the jars in front of him.

"All for me? Are you sure?"

Ling Xiao picks up the blue bottle and sniffs it. The fragrance of the magic pills are really much
stronger than the level one and level two magic pills he ate before. He can actually feel that the magic
pills are brimming with medicinal power, making him feel restless.

But he didn't expect that You XiaoMo would actually voluntarily give him so many magic pills.
Before, every time he asks for magic pills, he would show a very unwilling expression.

Seeing his doubting expression, You XiaoMo pouts and stretches out his hand, attempting to snatch
back the magic pills, "It's fine if you don't want it."

When I give them to you, you doubt me. When I don't give them to you, you threaten and snatch
them. Really impossible to please!

How could Ling Xiao let him take them back? Dodging his hand, he simply opens the stopper and
pours out a few emerald green magic pills. Throwing a handful into his mouth and munching *ka chi
ka chi*, they are swallowed into his tummy in an instant.

You XiaoMo can't stop feeling a flash of bodily pain. Every time he sees him eating this way,
recklessly wasting God's gifts, he can't help but mourn for his magic pills.
Actually, he is very curious about Ling Xiao's real identity. He definitely isn't anyone ordinary.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to eat magic pills in such a reckless manner. He knows that other martial
artists don't dare to simply eat magic pills because they are worried that they might not be able to
withstand the medicinal power of the magic pills.

But he doesn't ask because he knows that everyone has a few things they don't want others to know.

"Are you very curious?"

Ling Xiao sees his expression and knows that he is very curious in his heart but doesn't dare to ask.
After finishing the magic pills, he puts the bottle on the table and smiles at him.

You XiaoMo lights up and immediately nods his head. Is he ready to tell him?

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes slightly and beckons him with his finger to get closer. That look, no
matter how you look at it, it's like a big bad wolf luring a small lamb into a pit.

You XiaoMo hesitates for a moment but can't overcome the curiosity in his heart. Cautiously, he
gets a little closer.

Ling Xiao lowers his head and glances at his slowly reddening ears. His lips curving into a smile,
he gets a little closer and lets out a scorching hot breath, "The truth is ....... I am a big bad wolf that
specializes in eating little lambs."

The crown of You XiaoMo's head is suddenly full of spiderwebs. This person really can't go a
single day without tricking him. Otherwise his heart won't feel at ease. After getting tricked many
times, he slowly starts to realize this fact.

After hesitating a moment, You XiaoMo opens his mouth and asks, "Elder brother Ling, are you
eating magic pills to increase your power?"

Ling Xiao's actions come to a stop but there is no trace of anger on his face that is a result of being
pried into. Instead he is surprised that he could come up with this. In reality, it is not really something
that can't be said, so he simply says, "That's about right, but the level of these magic pills are too
low. Magic pills that are effective for my level, right now you are unable to refine."

Isn't that obvious!

You XiaoMo curses inwardly. He of course knows that much.

Although he can't tell Ling Xiao's exact strength, he knows that it definitely can't be too bad. He's
afraid that it is probably Spiritual level and above. As for magic pills that are effective for Spiritual
level martial artists, it must be at least level eight magic pills.

Level eight magic pills for him now is certainly only something he can look up to. Furthermore,
based on his innate talent, he most probably would never be able to reach that level so there is
nothing he can do about it. He can only try his best to refine some low level magic pills.

Thinking of that, he suddenly feels sadness coming from out of nowhere.

After that, the two of them talk about a few things, mostly related to the paradise realm. They also
talked about the reason why the Grand Master wouldn't let Ling Xiao come over.

Only then does You XiaoMo realize that the reason why Ling Xiao didn't come over to see him
these few days is because he was ordered not to by the Grand Master. But it is not completely due to
the Grand Master feeling that their relationship is too close. That is only one of the reasons.

After discovering the theft at the library, the Grand Master, Tang Fan, and the Elders are taking it
very seriously. Even more seriously than the paradise realm.

Actually, based on Ling Xiao's standing in the warrior division, he still has no right to know what
was stolen. But the stolen thing is extremely valuable. After some discussion between Tang Fan and a
few Elders, they realize that they have no choice but to tell Ling Xiao in order to secure his
cooperation.

Even though Tang Fan told him over and over that he can't tell this to anyone, when You XiaoMo
mentions it, he seemingly doesn't even hesitate before telling him.

The thing that was stolen from the library is actually a formula for a level nine magic pill.

What is the significance of a level nine magic pill formula? That is something you don't even have
to think about. You may not even be able to find five of these magic pill formulas in the whole Long
Xiao continent.

Because the higher the level, the more valuable the magic pill formula, level seven and level eight
magic pill formulas are already regarded as treasures by mystics. What more level nine magic pill
formulas. Therefore, no matter which major sect, a level nine magic pill formula is definitely
something that is revered by the whole sect.

To TianXin sect, that piece of magic pill formula is their life. It is their future. Because although
TianXin sect appears to have three level nine mages on the surface, the reality is not like that.

The rumor is that the three leaders of the three major peaks can already refine level nine magic
pills albeit with a very high rate of failure. Still, the rumors outside say that the three leaders of the
three major peaks are in fact level nine mages. However, the reality is not so.

Level eight mages are already as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. What more level nine
mages. All the rumors are actually just exaggerations. The three of them are, in reality, not true level
nine mages. More accurately, they should be described as having half a foot inside the realm of level
nine mages.

As for why the rumors were spread that they are all level nine mages, it is not difficult to guess.
So, the rumored level nine mage is actually a result of the combined forces of the three leaders of
the major peaks. Furthermore, based on their strengths, the rate of failure is still higher than ninety
percent. Clearly it is very hard to gain a foothold in the domain of a level nine mage.

But ever since QingCheng sect let it out that they have a level eight mage that has risen to a bona
fide level nine mage, TianXin sect finally started to get anxious.

Half a step inside the domain of a level nine mage is after all no match for a real level nine mage.
Furthermore, the factor of uncertainty is too high because if something were to happen to one of the
leaders of the three major peaks, the remaining two will have no way of refining level nine magic
pills.

If TianXin sect, who has monopolized the number one position for a few hundred years were to
allow QingCheng sect to continue gaining power and prestige, TianXin sect would inevitably lose
one half of their superiority to QingCheng sect. This is something that the higher ups of TianXin sect
are unwilling to accept. So after some deliberation, Tang Fan and all the Elders decided to let the
leaders of the three major peaks work together to refine a level nine magic pill, in order to raise
another strong leader for TianXin sect.

It's because of this that Tang Fan took that magic pill formula out from the fifth level of the library.

Unexpectedly, this matter was leaked out. Not long after they moved the magic pill formula out, it
was stolen. Furthermore, the thief is someone with considerable strength. After Tang Fan found out,
the two of them faced off and Tang Fan was shocked to discover that the thief's power is similar to
his. In the end, that person managed to escape with serious injuries.

This is clearly a premeditated action. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so coincidental that he only made a
move after they took out the magic pill formula. So, that day, in the secret room, one of the ten people
at the discussion must be a traitor.

The traitor must be found. Also the magic pill formula must be retrieved. It absolutely must be
retrieved.

Although that magic pill formula is only a low level level nine magic pill formula, its appeal to
each major sect is not less than that of a Spiritual level martial artist. That's because it can help a
peak Seven star Spiritual level martial artist achieve a breakthrough and consolidate his domain as a
bona fide Imperial level martial artist.

Right now, TianXin sect only has one Imperial level martial artist. That is Tang Fan. And
QingCheng sect is the same with only one.

Their original plan was to use that magic pill formula to raise an Imperial level fighter. This way,
even if QingCheng sect has a level nine mage, they still can't refine magic pills without a magic pill
formula. In the end, they will still be one step lower than TianXin sect.

But all the plans were ruined by the thief.


TianXin sect's first suspect is QingCheng sect. QingCheng sect is also the most probable suspect.

The reasons are many. One, QingCheng sect has a level nine mage but lack a level nine magic pill
formula. Two, the Grand Master of QingCheng sect, Luo ChengYuan, is an Imperial level fighter.
Three, the enmity between the two sects run deep.

So adding up all the reasons, the thief is very likely to be Luo ChengYuan.

It's actually proven that it really is Luo ChengYuan because not long after, that traitor was
discovered. He is Tang Fan's most trusted disciple, Pu Chan, a shrewd and mean man.

At that time, because of the matter with the half demons, he received Tang Fan's order to lead a
group of people down the mountain to guard HePing town. Then at HePing town, when Pu Chan was
uncovered, he admitted that he really did notify Luo ChengYuan secretly and helped him steal that
level nine magic pill formula. After that, Tang Fan stripped him of all his powers in a rage and threw
him into the dungeon.

The matter of Pu Chan betraying Tang Fan shocked many disciples. That's because before this, they
always thought that Uncle Pu Chan would be the last one to betray the Grand Master, the last one to
betray TianXin sect. But things are hard to predict. Uncle Pu Chan actually harbored resentment
towards the Grand Master all this time.

As for the reason for the resentment, because it is a matter from a hundred years ago, and because
the Grand Master ordered it sealed, there is not one among the disciples that knows.

Chapter 131

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Tragic 'life story'After hearing this, You XiaoMo's first reaction is to sigh loudly. It's unexpected
that just one case of theft is actually a result of such a complicated matter.

Although it has been a long time, You XiaoMo still has an impression of this Pu Chan because he is
the first one to antagonize Ling Xiao ever since he first met Ling Xiao. Furthermore, he was very
aggressive. But, when he was at WuShuang mountain, he heard that Uncle Pu Chan's relationship with
the Grand Master is as close as brothers.

"Little brother, not everything is as it seems on the surface."

One look, and Ling Xiao can tell what he is thinking, laughing out loud.

"What kind of deep seated hatred do they have between them?"

You XiaoMo asks curiously. He feels that Ling Xiao appears to know everything so he can't help
asking.

"How would I know!"

Ling Xiao shrugs and reclines slightly on the bedpost. He narrows his eyes, adopting a languid
posture. He is not a know it all. Also he has no interest in the grudges between Tang Fan and Pu Chan
so he didn't bother to investigate.

For now, the matter with the traitor is settled but the stolen magic pill formula can't be retrieved
immediately.

TianXin sect can't drag Pu Chan out to accuse Luo ChengYuan. Firstly, they can't wash their dirty
laundry in public. Secondly, Luo ChengYuan, that wily old fox also wouldn't admit it. He might even
turn the tables on them, claiming that they are putting on a show, trying to frame QingCheng sect.
Furthermore, TianXin sect never made public that they have that magic pill formula so this puts them
at a disadvantage.

But the magic pill formula must be retrieved. Otherwise, if QingCheng sect manages to refine the
level nine magic pill from that magic pill formula, TianXin sect will really become QingCheng sect's
stepping stone and sacrificial victim.

Luckily it is not easy to find the magic herbs required for level nine magic pills. Even if QingCheng
sect has the magic pill formula, they can't immediately refine a magic pill. But the paradise realm is
about to open, and there are countless magic herbs inside. QingCheng sect will definitely send people
inside to look and maybe they will find them.
So Tang Fan and the Elders decided that they will take advantage of this trip to the paradise realm
to not only cut off all chances of them getting level nine magic herbs, but also to deliver a huge blow
to QingCheng sect.

But because the people that are allowed to enter the paradise realm are restricted by their power,
Tang Fan decided to take advantage of these remaining three months to let Ling Xiao and Zhou Peng
increase their power as fast as possible. When the time comes, he will give them an assignment.

"Elder brother Ling, that assignment can't be to kill off QingCheng disciples ba?"

When You XiaoMo hears of the assignment, he can't stop his expression from changing slightly. He
feels that that is most probably the case.

Ling Xiao says indifferently, "That is part of it. The most important purpose is to not let them
cobble together the few important magic herbs for that magic pill formula."

You XiaoMo raises his eyebrows as he says, "You mean once we enter the paradise realm we
have to follow them all the time?"

Hearing his words, Ling Xiao can't help but burst out laughing. He looks at him teasingly and says,
"Little brother, you can't really think that I will actually do what Tang Fan says ba?"

"Uh ....... "

He really forgot that Ling Xiao is not a disciple of TianXin sect. This fellow is just an impostor,
"But, if you don't carry out his orders, won't he find out later?"

He feels that, since Tang Fan is so shrewd, he will definitely take defensive measures. Like
sticking in a trusted aide among them who can then report all that happened in the paradise realm.

"You think that it is so easy to find level nine magic herbs? Let's not talk about whether they
can manage to find the magic herbs they want in the paradise realm, it's still not easy to deal
with the magic beasts guarding the magic herbs."

Ling Xiao speaks languidly, not the least bit worried about his difficult situation.

You XiaoMo ponders over it for a bit. The magic beast guarding a level nine magic herb would be
at the least a level nine magic beast. Equivalent to an Imperial level fighter. No matter how you look
at it, it seems like an impossible task unless the Grand Master of QingCheng sect himself does it. But
because there is a strength level restriction, Luo ChengYuan has no way of entering the paradise
realm.

Ling Xiao stares at You XiaoMo's pensive face and suddenly thinks of something, saying, "Little
brother. You are also a mage. Are you interested in that magic pill formula?"

You XiaoMo jumps in fright. Hearing his words, he knows what he is planning because the
Heavenly Soul Scroll that he is practicing now is also something that he mentioned on the spur of the
moment, resulting in its miraculous appearance.

"You can't be thinking of going to steal it from QingCheng sect ba? You can't! You can't!"

You XiaoMo shakes his head again and again.

"Why not?"

Ling Xiao narrows his eyes as he questions him in reply.

"Now I'm only a level three mage, a long way from that. Furthermore, my innate talent is
below average so I won't be able to reach that stage in the future. And also that Luo ChengYuan
is an Imperial level fighter. If it is discovered, what would happen? No. It's too dangerous!"

You XiaoMo believes that Ling Xiao's strength is Spiritual level or at most Imperial level. So if he
were to face Luo ChengYuan, his chance of success must be very low. Such risky action, he definitely
won't agree.

A slight smile appears on Ling Xiao's lips. Although his words seem to underestimate his ability,
he still can tell that he is concerned about him. But hearing him belittle himself in front of him, he
can't help but frown.

Below average innate talent?

Ling Xiao raises his eyebrows as he looks him up and down. Looking at the speed of his
improvement, becoming a level three mage in under a year, although he doesn't know what kind of
speed others have, but from what he can tell according to Lin Xiao's memory, this speed is certainly
defying the laws of heaven.

He knows that most of it can be attributed to the Heavenly Soul Scroll. But if his innate talent is
that poor, how could he have grasped the Heavenly Soul Scroll so quickly, actually breaking through
the first level in under three months?

But looking at his earnest expression, it doesn't look as if he is lying. Also there is no need for him
to lie. But from his seemingly zero failure rate when refining magic pills and his performance when
practicing alchemical techniques, it is totally out of line with below average innate talent.

Ling Xiao suddenly feels that there is something very fishy with You XiaoMo's innate talent. Of
course, he never imagined that the You XiaoMo standing in front of him has a completely changed
soul under that shell.

You XiaoMo himself also is not very clear about the exact evaluation process. On top of that, he
encountered a whole series of terrifying events after that so he simply forgot about this matter,
thoroughly believing that his aura is green.
"Little brother, during the aura evaluation, did your soul really show a green color?"

Ling Xiao fixes his gaze on him as he asks.

"Ha?"

You XiaoMo is somewhat slow to understand what he is getting at. It takes a moment before he
realizes what he is saying, making him feel guilty all of a sudden.

Only heaven knows what color his aura is. By the time he crossed over, the evaluation of the soul
was already over. Furthermore, the genuine You XiaoMo must have been a boy with an extremely
fragile heart. Otherwise, how could he have had the opportunity to take over his body?

But ------- these words he must never tell Ling Xiao. There is only this secret left on his person. If
he really tells him, he wouldn't have any secrets left.

But after being reminded by him, he finally starts to think about this issue. If the innate quality of a
mage is related to the soul, wouldn't it mean that the him who had been changed on the inside be no
longer the same?

"Little brother?"

Seeing that he is suddenly in a daze, Ling Xiao stretches out his hand and waves it in front of his
face.

You XiaoMo reacts with a start, laughing *ha ha* while saying, "Of ... of course it's green ah. If
you don't believe me, you can ask the people that underwent the evaluation with me at that
time."

Ling Xiao stares at the guilty look on his face, and laughs suddenly, saying sweetly, "Little
brother, do you think I will believe your words?"

" ....... no."

The fake smile on You XiaoMo's face crumbles in an instant as he speaks in a disheartened tone.
One look at the expression on Ling Xiao's face and the tone of his voice, he knows that he will
definitely not believe his words.

Ling Xiao beams as he grips his shoulder and rubs his head gently while saying in a soft voice,
"Little brother is very obedient. Now is the time for truthful words. You must have heard of the
saying 'Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist'. Don't make me use my
special ways."

The word 'special' is said with added emphasis.

You XiaoMo is dripping with sweat on the inside. Not only has he heard these words before, they
are words that are extremely familiar to him. In his past life, they were uttered by his older and
younger brothers. In this life, they are from Ling Xiao. Indeed there is no escaping this fate even after
changing worlds.

So, his very last secret must be revealed?

No. As a member of the younger generation of the 21st century, he inherited an 'exemplary' trait,
that is ------- telling lies!

What is the ultimate art of lying? Slipping in one false word among nine truthful words. Although
this is a worn out trick in the 21st century, known by almost everyone, but don't forget, this is Long
Xiao continent, a different world, a totally unscientific world!

So, You XiaoMo weaves an extremely tragic 'life story'. He turns himself into 'You XiaoMo's' twin
brother whose body died before birth. In the end, he ended up sharing the same body as his twin
brother. His brother didn't know of his existence but he was aware of his brother's existence. But
because his brother is the main host, he as the weaker host is unable to manifest himself. Right up to
the time when his brother received a huge blow, causing him to drop dead. Only then did he manage
to assume control of his brother's body.

That is pretty much the story he weaves. In fact, all ten words are lies.

Chapter 132

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Golden winged insect.You XiaoMo's expression is one that says that regardless of whether you
believe it or not, he himself believes it.

Of course Ling Xiao doesn't believe his words. But he lets him go because even after being
threatened to tell the truth, he actually risks death to make up a story to deceive him. What courage!

Seeing that this is the first time the school boy You XiaoMo is lying to him, he decides not to press
him this time.

"Little brother, find an opportunity to buy a testing stone and test the color of your soul once
again. A testing stone would not cost you much gold coins. But if you want, I can also help you
buy one."

Ling Xiao beams as he pats his shoulder.

Although his face is gentle and smiling, You XiaoMo can hear that this matter is not up for
discussion. He can only toughen his scalp, saying, " ....... it's better if I buy it myself ba."

Seeing his stricken expression, Ling Xiao was just about to raise the corner of his lips when his
expression suddenly darkens. He casts a sharp look towards the window, his expression slowly
getting serious.

You XiaoMo feels the change in his mood. He raises his head and sees him looking forward with
an unreadable expression. There is clearly nothing there but he is staring fixedly at the nearby
window.

Just when he wants to ask what is going on, Ling Xiao suddenly raises his hand. A disturbance
appears in his palm, as if something is sucked into his hand.

You XiaoMo stares at his hand. Clearly there is nothing there but the next second, a shocking scene
unfolds. A completely snowy white insect that seems to be able to become invisible appears in Ling
Xiao's palm. It's about the size of his fist. Its eight legs are struggling endlessly in Ling Xiao's palm.

"This is?"

You XiaoMo looks at the insect in shock.

"This is a level six magic beast, the Seven star hidden fragrance insect. They don't have
combat ability but they have a huge special characteristic. That is to track. And it is also not
easily discovered. Usually there is one male and one female. The female one can emit a type of
hidden fragrance that can only be detected by the male one."
Ling Xiao speaks with narrowed eyes.

"This ....... can't be to track you and me ba?"

You XiaoMo swallows again and again.

"What say you ne?"

Ling Xiao beams as he returns the question.

Is there even a need to say it? Appearing in his room, if it is not to track him, then it must be to
track Ling Xiao. However, who would purposely let go of a Seven star hidden fragrance insect to
track them? They don't seem to have offended anybody. It's more likely to be someone that offended
them instead.

You XiaoMo can't help but think of what happened previously in HunJi city and WuFeng town.
Speaking of people that have grudges against them, that would most probably be Wolf fang gang. But
based on Wolf fang gang's strength, they simply won't have the guts.

"Elder brother Ling, what are we going to do now?"

You XiaoMo asks.

Ling Xiao looks at him with a sparkle in his eyes, saying, "Although the Seven star hidden
fragrance insect is only a level six magic beast, after they go through three rounds of
metamorphosis, they will transform into Golden winged insects. The tracking ability of the
golden winged insect is even better than before the transformation. Furthermore, they can
occasionally produce a strand of gold silk. Ten strands of gold silk can me made into soft armor.
A soft armor that is impenetrable by the five elements, unyielding to wind and thunder. It's the
ultimate precious armor to protect the body. But, most importantly, Golden winged insects can
chew through ten thousand things."

"So amazing!"

You XiaoMo exclaims.

"It is amazing but not all Seven star hidden fragrance insects can transform successfully. As
far as I know, only one out of ten million pairs of Seven star hidden fragrance insects can
transform successfully. But ....... "

Ling Xiao sighs regretfully.

You XiaoMo gasps. This rate is way too low but hearing the last but at the end, he quickly asks,
"But what?"

An amused look flashes in Ling Xiao's eyes as he laughs while saying, "Seven star hidden
fragrance insects are very special magic beasts. They only eat the Seven star herb because only the
Seven star herb is able to help them transform successfully.

"What is the Seven star herb?"

You XiaoMo asks in astonishment with shining eyes.

He has read quite a lot of ancient records on magic herbs. He has read about those from level one
to level six but he has not seen anything on the Seven star herb.

Ling Xiao shoots him a glance, saying, "The Seven star herb is a level six magic herb. But it has
no medicinal value so it can't be used to refine magic pills. But it is the food of the Seven star
hidden fragrance insect ....... "

Speaking of the Seven Star hidden fragrance insect, it is not very well known in the Long Xiao
continent. But the Golden winged insect is very famous, known to everyone. It's just that a lot of
people don't know that the Golden winged insect is actually a transformed Seven star hidden
fragrance insect.

Although there are oh so many people that covet the Golden winged insect, but no matter if it is the
Seven star hidden fragrance insect, or the Golden winged insect, they both can't be raised by just
anybody. Even a major sect like TianXin sect can't do it.

First is the Seven star hidden fragrance insect. They need to eat the Seven star herb for every
transformation round. The first round requires one hundred stalks of Seven star herb. Furthermore, it
is better if the quality is high so that the probability of successful transformation would be higher. The
second transformation requires four hundred stalks of Seven star herb. The third round requires one
thousand stalks of Seven star herb.

This amount is not much when compared to other magic herbs but it must be known that because the
Seven star herb doesn't have medicinal value, and cannot be used to refine magic pills, it hasn't been
seen for a very long time. Furthermore, the Seven star herb is not very common to begin with so the
treasured Golden winged insect also seems to be almost extinct.

But even if the Golden winged insect is not extinct, it is not possible for people to afford to raise
one. That's because the Golden winged insect needs to eat one hundred stalks of high quality Seven
star herb to produce one strand of silk. Furthermore, the feeding can't be interrupted. Otherwise, the
quality of the produced silk would drop. It can be said to be the ultimate delicate and costly magic
beast that could dissipate a family fortune.

"Little brother, others may not have the means to raise them, but you have. How about you try
to raise a pair of Seven star hidden fragrance insects?"

Ling Xiao tells him the science behind it and then smiles as he puts the Seven star hidden fragrance
insect on his hand.
You XiaoMo feels his scalp go numb. That Seven star hidden fragrance insect wriggles in his hand.
He is definitely not scared but after listening to Ling Xiao's words, he is indeed a little moved but he
doesn't have any Seven star herb.

Ling Xiao seems to know what he is thinking, saying, "You don't have to worry about the matter
with Seven star herb. There is none in Long Xiao continent but there may be some in the
paradise realm. When the time comes, look for it inside. There should be some."

You XiaoMo thinks it over and also feels that it makes sense, "Then what about the other Seven
star hidden fragrance insect?"

Ling Xiao suddenly reveals a teasing smile, saying while looking at him meaningfully, "The
female one is already in your hand. Can the male one still escape?"

You XiaoMo ponders for a bit before reacting, glaring at him in anger. Ivory won't come from a
dog's mouth. You are the female one. Your whole family are all female.

At night, Ling Xiao doesn't insist on staying the night like before, leaving before the Hai period.

You XiaoMo heaves a huge sigh of relief. But he knows the reason why Ling Xiao doesn't stay
over. The Grand Master already warned him so he can't disappear from the sight of others for too
long lest it incurs the suspicion of certain people.

The next day, You XiaoMo goes to the canteen for breakfast as usual. Then he spends the whole
morning refining magic pills in his room, not coming out again until noon.

Going to the canteen for lunch, You XiaoMo runs into Zhao DaZhou again. However, there is no
sign of Elder brother and Second brother.

Zhao DaZhou's attitude towards You XiaoMo has already undergone a 180 degree change. Seeing
him, he no longer ignores like him before. After calling him over to sit down, he brings up the matter
of Kong Wen's condition for him to become a level three mage in two months.

He speaks about it in such a way that You XiaoMo thinks that this matter has again been spread all
over. Only after a long while does he realize that this information is exclusive to Zhao DaZhou.
Because his dad has a high position in Earth peak, he basically knows all the things that are not
known to others.

After hearing about this matter, Zhao DaZhou kept thinking about going to see You XiaoMo. He
also doesn't think that You XiaoMo will be able to fulfill Master's condition in two months. It's not
that he doesn't have faith in You XiaoMo. But to jump from a level two mage to a level three mage in
two months is basically something that is inconceivable. He is the most clear on this.

Zhao DaZhou lingered between level two and level three for over a year. He knows how difficult it
is in between. It's practically impossible in two months. So he suggests to let his father help. As long
as his father makes the request, Master would definitely give him face. But You XiaoMo refuses.
Just like Ling Xiao said, Kong Wen is making things difficult for him because he doesn't want to
give him a spot. If Uncle Zhao were to speak up on his behalf to Kong Wen, he believes that Kong
Wen's dislike for him would grow even deeper. No one likes to have people continually opposing
them. Especially if those people are their close and trusted ones. So, he definitely can't accept Zhao
DaZhou's good intention. But he is very touched. Fifth brother is the typical 'A drop of water in need,
shall be returned with a spring in deed' kind of person. A person that distinguishes clearly between
friends and enemies.

You XiaoMo is worried that Fifth brother would really ask Uncle Zhao to speak up for him so he
urges him again and again, only feeling at ease when he nods his head and swears not to tell his father.

After bidding farewell to Fifth brother, he goes straight back to his room. But he doesn't continue
refining magic pills. Instead, he enters his dimension. The level two magic herbs that he planted a few
days ago are already mature. This is the last batch of level two magic herbs. After harvesting these,
he doesn't plan to plant anymore level two magic herbs. He is already a level three mage so he will
give priority to level three magic herbs.

Firstly, You XiaoMo harvests ten plots of level two magic herbs. Then he sprinkles some level
three magic herb seeds. After watering them, he walks into the small wooden hut. Not long after, he
emerges carrying a wooden basin.

The wooden basin is filled with magic water. Soaking in the magic water are numerous seeds.
These seeds are all mid level magic herb seeds. Because the level is different, these seeds need to be
soaked in water. But this is only one of the reasons. After You XiaoMo returned, he did take a look at
these seeds. These seeds were definitely not plump and round. Some of them were already shriveled
up, full of uneven bumps. If they were planted directly, it would have a huge effect on the magic
herbs, making them more difficult to look after.

So he soaked them in magic water for a few days. After being soaked in magic water, every seed
sucked it up beautifully. After scooping up the seeds, he walks to the magic herb fields.

Notes:ivory won't come from a dog's mouth - don't expect decent words from a filthy mouth

Hai period - 21:00-23:00

Sorry for making you guys worry. I'm just busy.


Chapter 133

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

BirthThe growth cycle of mid-level magic herbs is much longer than that of low level magic herbs.
You XiaoMo uses up the magic water that he had diluted and then dilutes a little more. But he only
dilutes the magic water for the level four magic herbs. He doesn't plan on using diluted magic water
for level five and level six magic herbs.

After finishing his work with the magic herb fields, You XiaoMo walks over to the magic herbs he
dug out that time from the ice cave. After steeping in magic water for so many days, the ten or so
stalks of magic herbs are thriving. Some of them have even begun to produce seeds.

Talking about seeds, You XiaoMo thinks about another batch of seeds. Those seeds were not
bought. They are seeds that were produced during the growth of the magic herbs. Each stalk of magic
herb can produce three to four seeds. Some good, some bad. But when you sum it all up, the bad ones
are few.

Because he bought a lot of seeds before, he didn't use the seeds that were produced. They were all
collected by him and placed in the cupboard. He examined them before. Every seed is much more
plump and shiny than the ones he bought from outside.

But, because he knows that the magic herbs will produce seeds, he doesn't worry about how many
seeds there are.

As for why he bought so many seeds in HunJi city, that is because if he were to buy just a few of
each type, he was worried that the old man from the Magic pill central workshop wouldn't sell him
any because if the quantity is too low, he wouldn't be able to earn much gold coins.

But the most important thing is he would have to wait for the magic herb to produce seeds before
he can replant them. That would mean wasting time. Of course, this is when he is not short of money.

Returning back into the small wooden hut, You XiaoMo catches sight of that level eight magic beast
egg. The level eight magic beast, Blue-blooded wolf is a mid-level magic beast. The last time he
went to the library, he read about it in the scrolls. The Blue-blooded wolf is a strength and speed type
magic beast. Its fur is silvery white and very soft. If you overlook the Blue-blooded wolf's fierce and
violent characteristics, it is undoubtedly a very beautiful magic beast.

This type of magic beast that is adept at combat, is a really good candidate for bonding.

But there is one thing that caught You XiaoMo's attention. It is recorded on the scrolls that very
long ago, the Blue-blooded wolf's bloodline was not only not limited to level eight. It is said that
there were level eleven and level twelve Wolf gods.

But by now, pure-blood Blue-blooded wolves have become rarer and rarer. There haven't been any
Blue-blooded wolves above level eight. It must be said that Blue-blooded wolves that are above
level eight are capable of shapeshifting.

You XiaoMo lifts up the magic beast egg with both hands while indulging in his wildest fantasies.
Could this be a pure-blood magic beast egg? If it is, wouldn't that mean he would have a legendary
Wolf god?

If it is so, he would even wake up from laughing while dreaming. Too bad it's only what if.

You XiaoMo lowers his head and looks at the magic beast egg. Elder brother said that the best time
to establish a bond is before the magic beast hatches, or while it is still young. This way, during the
bonding process, there won't be too much resistance from the magic beast. That's because if the
resistance from the magic beast is too strong, it would be hard to control it. One could even end up
suffering from a backlash.

Seeing that this magic beast egg can hatch at any time, he must take advantage of this time to form
the bond. But ....... You XiaoMo remembers something else that Elder brother said.

The number of magic beasts that a mage can bond with depends on their own soul force. A stronger
soul force can bond more magic beasts. Actually, it also depends on the level of the soul.

For example, a level three mage usually can bond about three magic beasts. The level of the magic
beast depends on their own ability to form the bond. Later, with every rise in level, one more magic
beast can be added. But because there is a limit, most mages won't bond just any magic beast.

You XiaoMo is now a level three mage. According to principle, he can bond three magic beasts.
However, he doesn't know if his current strength is enough to bond a level eight magic beast.

After hesitating for a bit, he decides to try it.

Opportunity is always accompanied by danger. If one doesn't have the guts to try, how will there be
any progress?

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo resolutely places his right hand on top of the magic beast egg. A
surge of soul force flows steadily from the palm of his hand into the magic beast egg.

The life force inside is evidently very healthy and strong. The heartbeat is very powerful, beating
strongly. While still inside the shell, he can still feel the faint pressure emitted by the bloodline of the
Blue-blooded wolf.

The gentle soul force flows through the egg shell and wraps around the tiny life force inside. Very
smoothly, without evoking any resistance from the small life force. He can even feel the life force in
the egg giving out a comfortable moan, as if it is trying to say something.

You XiaoMo immediately decides to pour his soul force into the space between the eyebrows of
the Blue-blooded wolf. Unexpectedly and without any difficulty, he succeeds. Very quickly, he senses
the bond established between a man and a beast. It is like an invisible restraint.
You XiaoMo keeps the surging happiness in his heart in check. Carefully, he withdraws his soul
force. Then he picks up the egg and looks at it full of joy. This is his first bonded magic beast. And it's
a level eight Blue-blooded wolf. Compared to other mages, he is extremely fortunate!

But what surprises him is that the whole process seems extremely smooth. It definitely wasn't as
difficult as Elder brother said it would be. No matter how he racks his brain, he still doesn't
understand it.

Since he established the bond with the Blue-blooded wolf, he can now feel the life force coming
from inside the egg. That life force is telling him that it will hatch three days later.

This speed is actually really fast. Before, when he got the egg, although he could sense the life
force inside the egg, it was clearly quite far away from hatching. Unexpectedly after bringing it back
for a few days, it is soon about to hatch. But he is very much looking forward to it. What would a
newly born Blue-blooded wolf look like?

While holding on to this excited feeling, You XiaoMo continues refining magic pills for three days.
Finally, it is the day to welcome the Blue-blooded wolf.

Because Ling Xiao didn't come to look for him for three days, and because he has no way of
contacting him, he didn't tell Ling Xiao about the Blue-blooded wolf hatching. That day, after
finishing the things he has to do early in the day, You XiaoMo enters the dimension.

That magic beast egg was placed by him in the courtyard, on the stone platform, inside the
depression that is meant for the cauldron. In order to prepare for its birth, the Blue-blooded wolf
went all out absorbing the spiritual energy in the dimension. But when it senses the presence of You
XiaoMo, the round egg suddenly jumps up in joy, swaying a few times, as if it is very happy to see
him.

You XiaoMo is not surprised. These three days, he is already used to witnessing all the lively
antics of the magic beast egg. Putting it plainly, it is really too energetic.

One of the days before this, in order to get his attention, that magic beast egg rolled from inside the
wooden hut to the magic herb field, jumping cheerfully and light-heartedly, actually jumping around in
front of him. It really scared him to death. What if the shell cracks? Wouldn't that mean it won't be
able to hatch normally?

In his mind, a small magic beast that can't hatch normally is equivalent to a premature baby.

From that moment on, You XiaoMo forbade it from jumping up and down, only allowing it to sway
from side to side.

The small magic beast is extremely intelligent. From that moment on, it no longer jumped up and
down. Every time it sees him, it would sway side to side to convey its happiness.

You XiaoMo walks over and picks it up in his arms, rubbing its head. The little magic beast,
separated by a layer of shell, rubs itself in his arms very affectionately. The affectionate interaction is
not like one between master and servant, instead it is more like genuine happiness.

After cuddling for a bit, You XiaoMo puts down the magic beast egg. Today is the day the small
magic beast will hatch. He watched Animal Planet before. He knows that most animals will get
attached to the first thing they see when they are born. So he wants to see the birth of the little magic
beast with his own eyes. He also wants to be the first thing it sees.

The small magic beast that was placed back on the stone platform rolls *gu lu lu* back into the
hole.

When it stops moving, the surface of the egg shell suddenly sends out an intense beam of white
light. The white light starts to flash fiercely. Then the spiritual energy in the dimension starts to surge,
pouring into the magic beast egg.

This phenomenon continues for a while, only stopping when the egg shell is almost bursting. Then
*ka ca* rings out causing You XiaoMo to jump in fright. Looking closely, he finds that the egg has
cracked.

The crack continues to expand. A moment later, the whole egg is full of cracks. Then a tiny downy
paw stretches out from the broken shell. The small paw quivers before pressing down on the
platform. Then a damp head appears with eyes half closed. Front paws, hind legs, crawl out from the
egg shell one after another.

The tiny Blue-blooded wolf sprawls on the top of the stone platform and whimpers at the dazed
You XiaoMo. Newborn magic beasts don't have much strength.

You XiaoMo places his hand on his heart, his face filled with surprise and happiness.

This completely silvery white and extremely beautiful little Blue-blooded wolf is his companion.
He always thought that the Blue-blooded wolf would be a very ferocious magic beast. He never
expected that a newborn magic beast would actually be so cute.

Chapter 134

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

It's finally his turn.You XiaoMo, "......."

Although he knows that the magic water is precious, he still can't drink his own bath water.
Especially since he can tell from one glance that is very clearly dirty magic water.

You XiaoMo feels that it is necessary to teach it to be a clean and tidy little magic beast.

But the Blue-blooded wolf has an extremely strong ability to adapt. Not even one hour after being
born, the little magic beast is already capable of running and jumping on its own. What is likes to do
is to run around in circles around You XiaoMo, as if it is trying to mark its territory. It's just that this
territory follows You XiaoMo wherever he goes.

It's fine when You XiaoMo has nothing to do. But when he wants to do something, the little magic
beast would bite his pants with a death grip, not allowing him to go. But because it hasn't been a day
since its birth, the little magic beast doesn't have enough strength to move You XiaoMo. Instead, it
gets dragged along by You XiaoMo.

This happens quite a few times until You XiaoMo can't take it anymore. He picks it up and ties it up
with a rope and ties it on his back, like carrying a baby while doing his work .......

A few hours later, You XiaoMo leaves the dimension and heaves a huge sigh of relief. He never
expected that the little magic beast would be so clingy. It's too bad he can't bring it out. It would be
disastrous if it is discovered by others.

But You XiaoMo is also worried that it would run and jump around wildly in the dimension,
trampling on the magic herb fields. So he could only lock him up in the small wooden hut. He also
warned him sternly not to touch the things inside. Not caring if it understands what he is saying, he
leaves the dimension after saying that.

The birth of the little magic beast, You XiaoMo really wants to find someone to share the good
news, but other than Ling Xiao, there is no one else, so he can only wait for Ling Xiao to come find
him.

Today, he doesn't shut himself up in his room refining magic pills as usual. Instead, he heads to the
Hall of enchanted herbs.

It has been more than a month since the last time he went to get level two magic herbs. Although he
doesn't need level two magic herbs anymore, he still has to keep up appearances. As for the fact that
he is now a level three mage, for the time being, he doesn't plan to tell anyone.

Reaching the Hall of enchanted herbs, You XiaoMo doesn't see Zhao DaZhou. The person watching
the Hall of enchanted herbs has reverted back to Uncle Zhao. He is sitting like a meditating old monk
behind the counter. Looking at their characters, this father and son pair are not too much alike.

Zhao Zhen sees You XiaoMo the moment he opens the door. A faint smile flashes across his
indifferent eyes.

Speaking of that, Zhao Zhen usually has an ambivalent manner towards You XiaoMo. However, he
is not like those that look down on You XiaoMo. At the least, he has never shown any attitude to You
XiaoMo. In fact, he sometimes even turns a blind eye towards him.

Zhao Zhen is probably not the first person to show a kind face to You XiaoMo but he is one of the
few people that gives You XiaoMo a good feeling.

Maybe because he heard from Zhao DaZhou about the matter between the two of them, Zhao Zhen
actually starts talking to him of his own accord.

"It's good that you're here. I heard from Zhou-r that you usually depend on selling magic
pills in order to buy magic herbs. Do you have enough?"

You XiaoMo hesitates for a moment before nodding his head repeatedly. After that, he rubs his
head in embarrassment. He can't tell him the truth so he can only let it be.

Zhao Zhen doesn't ask him how much he wants. Instead he simply gives him two months worth.
This is against the rules he told You XiaoMo before. So when You XiaoMo sees the amount, he can't
hide the surprise in his eyes.

"Uncle Zhao, did you write down the wrong amount? It's one month, not two months?"

You XiaoMo looks in surprise at the amount of magic herbs on the form. A full two months worth
of one thousand and eight hundred stalks. This amount is really not small.

"It's not wrong. I still have to thank you for the matter with Zhou-r. Ever since he listened to
your pointers, he has successfully completed the assignments I give him in a more and more
outstanding manner. I believe that it is not long before he will become a level four mage."

Speaking of his own son, the lines on Zhao Zhen's face gets much softer.

You XiaoMo roughly guessed that that would be the reason. But he doesn't dare accept, "Uncle,
actually that is due to Fifth brother's own hard work and understanding. It doesn't really have
much to do with me. But two months worth is really too much and not in line with the rules of
the Hall of enchanted herbs. If you make an exception for me, it would be hard to convince the
others. The other disciples also won't be happy."

He doesn't want Uncle Zhao to be punished because of him. Furthermore, he simply doesn't need
this the way he is now.
"As long as you don't say anything, no one would know. You also don't have to worry about
the inventory check at the end of the month."

Zhao Zhen shakes his head as he speaks resolutely. He clearly discussed this before with Zhao
DaZhou.

You XiaoMo has no choice but to accept his good intentions. He accepts the one thousand and eight
hundred stalks of magic herbs and puts them into his magic bag. Now he feels that he is the one owing
them a favor. Looks like it is finally his turn to return favors.

After thanking Zhao Zhen, You XiaoMo takes the magic bag and leaves the Hall of enchanted herbs.

He doesn't go straight back to his room. Instead he heads towards the library. His three day
'punishment' is already over. He can now enter library again.

Because of the punishment, he only managed to read one book on high level magic beasts the last
time. There are still a few scrolls on mid-level magic beasts that he has yet to read. This time, he
decides to finish reading them all.

When he reaches the library, the silver armored guards are no longer there. Maybe it's because the
traitor has been caught, so there is no longer a need to keep a close watch.

Elder Sun that is guarding the library immediately gives him a look that seems to say 'Why are you
only here now?'. Most probably because it is already more than three days since that incident. Elder
Sun had thought that he would immediately come to the library once the three days have passed.

You XiaoMo rubs his nose awkwardly. He can't tell Elder Sun that these days he was always
preoccupied with the little magic beast so he had forgotten all about it.

Elder Sun also won't really ask him these things. He simply gives him the tablet and doesn't give
him a second glance, returning to his usual indifferent manner. However, You XiaoMo can sense that
this old man is actually one of the few people that treats him well.

Holding the tablet, You XiaoMo walks into the second floor of the West pavilion. He sees that
there are quite a few people standing inside.

With the approaching opening of the paradise realm, more and more people are running to the
library. Although the library is supposed to be quiet place, not everyone is silent. There are some
people squeezed in the corners speaking in hushed tones.

You XiaoMo walks by bookshelf after bookshelf. He sees that the bookshelf containing the scrolls
on magic beasts are packed to the brim. The calm expression in his eyes is replaced by unconcealed
excitement. Looks like that frenzied period is already over so not many people are looking for magic
beast scrolls.

Thinking like this, he quickly walks over. Casting a loving eye over the second shelf of the
bookshelf, he finds the scrolls he is looking for. There are more scrolls than that for low level magic
beasts. Six scrolls altogether although he has already read one of them.

You XiaoMo stretches his hand out wanting to take the other five scrolls when a hand suddenly
appears next to him, taking the whole set that he was aiming for just before he could.

You XiaoMo lifts his head to look at the owner of that hand. It's a man that he doesn't know.

The man is dressed in a taoist robe. A disciple from the Warrior division. Seeing his look, the man
starts to smile. The smile is not a friendly one. Instead it is unmistakably one of hostility and disgust.

You XiaoMo's head is filled with fog. He doesn't seem to know this person.

The reality is, this man has not actually met You XiaoMo before. But he knows who You XiaoMo
is. That's because he is Li Jun's best friend.

Seeing You XiaoMo's puzzled expression, the smile on the man's face fades a little as he says
rather harshly, "You XiaoMo. Because of you, Li Jun is unable to enter the library for a year.
You're really something. Not only does Elder brother side with you, even Elder Sun gives you
special treatment."

Because he can't enter the library, and because the materials on magic beasts cannot be brought out,
unless someone retells it to Li Jun, he can only dream of getting any data on magic beasts for a year.
But because the paradise realm is going to open soon, this matter is a huge blow to Li Jun.

Hearing him say those avenging words on behalf of his friend, You XiaoMo smiles helplessly.

The man sees his smiling face and the smile on his face immediately disappears, "What are you
smiling for?"

You XiaoMo raises his brow as he says, "You seem to be mistaken. Li Jun was punished
because he broke the rules of the library. If he didn't break the rules of the library, he wouldn't
be in that position."

Although he doesn't like to quarrel with people, he dislikes it even more when others put the blame
on him when it is not his fault. That makes him feel as if he is shouldering other people's black pot.
He had more than enough of shouldering this type of black pot for his younger brother in his past life.

The man's face turns green and then white listening to his words but still his words are not wrong.

You XiaoMo sees that he doesn't reply so he doesn't say anything more. He takes another set from
the bookshelf and turns around only to run into a wall of flesh. There is nothing fleshy about this wall
of flesh. The hard collision almost makes his nose crooked. Without time to think about the pain, he
hastily apologizes, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose ....... "

"He he!"
A delighted chuckle is heard from above his head.

This laughter is too too too familiar!

You XiaoMo immediately raises his head. Seeing the handsome face of the wall of flesh, he
exclaims, "Elder brother Ling? Why are you here?"

Luckily he still remembers that this is the library so he immediately lowers his voice when he
blurts that out.

Note:shoulder black pot - be a scapegoat

Chapter 135

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

The owner of the Paradise realm."What are you guys doing?"

Ling Xiao looks at them with interest.

This is inside the West pavilion. Normally the ones that come to the West pavilion are disciplies
from the Warrior division so Ling Xiao appearing here is not unexpected. After asking the question,
You XiaoMo guesses that he is most probably here to look up some information.

You XiaoMo glances at the other guy, then shakes his head saying, "Nothing. Elder brother Ling,
which book are you looking for? Do you want me to help you find it?"

Ling Xiao looks at the both of them without saying anything. Although he just arrived, he clearly
sees what is going on. So even though You XiaoMo says it's nothing, he of course doesn't believe it.
His rather sharp gaze falls on that man. Just the pressure alone makes him feel as if a huge mountain is
pressing on his shoulders. The man's face stiffens.

Isn't that Elder brother Lin? When did he appear behind them? He actually didn't feel anything. But
that is not the most important point. How long has Elder brother been standing there? Did he hear
everything he said to You XiaoMo?

The surnamed Wang man feels very uncertain. Although he and Lin Xiao are not under the same
Master, Ling Xiao's status and influence is very great in TianXin sect, especially for them, the younger
generation. The impression he leaves on them is very deep.

"Isn't this Younger brother Wang? How come you have so much free time today to come to
the library to bully newcomers?"

Ling Xiao doesn't mince his words, laughing *he he* while looking at Wang YuFei who is
continuously wiping his sweat. Originally, he didn't have much impression of this Younger brother
Wang. But because of what happened in the library a few days ago, with the punishing of Li Jun and
You XiaoMo, he thoroughly investigated Li Jun after the event, including the people around him.

Li Jun is the disciple of the short-tempered Elder Xiao. Just like You XiaoMo, he is ranked
Seventh. Wang YuFei is Li Jun's big brother, ranked third. The both of them are close. It is said that
they were best friends even before they entered TianXin sect. That's why when Li Jun was punished,
Wang YuFei always thought that it must be You Xiaomo's fault.

This time, meeting him by chance in the library, Wang YuFei couldn't resist giving You XiaoMo a
piece of his mind. Who could have guessed that the latter would be unaffected, even leaving him
unable to retort. The most unfortunate thing is he was overheard by Lin Xiao.
Wang YuFei turns around seeming rather pale. It takes him a while before he explains falteringly,
"Elder brother Lin, I ... I wasn't bullying younger brother. You've misunderstood. I was only
joking with him ....... "

The words are extremely modest but it's only like giving medicine to a dead horse. He can't admit
in front of Lin Xiao that he was bullying You XiaoMo. If he tells his Master, although his Master may
be partial to him, Elder brother Lin's status is not low. So in the end, he would have to dig a hole for
himself to jump in.

"This type of words can be considered joking?" says Ling Xiao.

Seeing that he still wants to make more excuses, he simply waves his hand, "Ok ok, Elder brother
also doesn't want to make a big deal out of this. Apologize now to Younger brother You and we
will consider this matter settled."

"Yes, Elder brother Lin."

Wang YuFei's face turns green and white. Only then does he say to You XiaoMo unwillingly,
"Younger brother You, I'm sorry."

He never expected that this time he would have to give his enemy a wife on top of losing his
soldiers. Not only did he not manage to provoke You XiaoMo, he has to instead apologize to him in
front of everybody. Although the people coming to the library are getting less and less, but under so
many pairs of eyes, this matter is sure to get out. When that happens, the one that loses face is not just
himself. Master would also definitely erupt. He still remembers when the matter with Li Jun got to his
Master, the terrifying appearance of his irate Master.

After making a hasty apology, Wang YuFei quickly runs off, not having any face left to stick around
any longer.

You XiaoMo looks at this scene unwilling to admit that he actually feels a little glad that Ling Xiao
stood up for him. But it's just a little. He is more worried that Li Jun's Master would target Ling Xiao
from now on.

Although the disciple is wrong, which Master is not biased? Take Kong Wen, biased to the
extreme. Isn't that a very good example? Furthermore, considering what he knows about Elder Xiao,
he feels that after this matter, the conflict between Ling Xiao and Elder Xiao will definitely get
worse.

"Elder brother Ling, will it be fine like this?"

You XiaoMo asks anxiously.

"How is this not fine? Or are you complaining that his apology is not sincere enough. If
that's the case, how about I bring him back and let him apologize to you a few more times?"
Ling Xiao beams as he speaks.

You XiaoMo wipes a handful of sweat, " ....... no need, this is good enough."

If he really goes along with what he says, the enmity between him and Li Jun and the rest won't be
resolved even at the end of the year. Of course he is not refusing because he wants to reconcile with
them. It's just that they are all disciples of TianXin sect so they would most probably run into each
other again. It's not as if they can always be at each other's throats every time they meet.

But You XiaoMo clearly doesn't think this way. There are many people that have something against
him, one more or one less wouldn't make any difference. Furthermore, these are small fry that are
incapable or making much waves. On top of that, there is one more thing. There will come a day when
they will leave TianXin sect. So he is actually happy to see You XiaoMo making enemies. This way,
when the time comes, he won't be reluctant to leave TianXin sect.

Ling Xiao takes a scroll from the bookshelf and then sits down at the same table as You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo glances at the scroll he took. It's a map of the Southern part of Long Xiao continent.
But he doesn't know that the area on the map is where the Paradise realm would soon open.

"Elder brother Ling, why are you looking at this?"

"Tang Fan asked me, Elder Du, and Elder Xiao to lead the disciples to where the Paradise
realm would open. The terrain on the way there is rather complicated. Lin Xiao's memory is
also not very detailed. So I'm here to look it up."

Ling Xiao replies seemingly bored.

Actually, he only needs to take a glance at the scroll and that is enough to burn the map in his
memory. As long as he doesn't wish to forget it, he would never forget it.

But he didn't expect to bump into You XiaoMo here. Just nice, he has an excuse to stay with him for
a while, so he picks up the scroll and puts on an act.

You XiaoMo looks at Ling Xiao for a while, hesitating before asking cautiously, "Elder brother
Ling. Before you said that the Paradise realm has a restriction for those of Celestial level and
above. Then what about you?"

This question is one that he always wanted to ask. Because looking at Ling Xiao's performance, it
is not likely that he is below Celestial level. When the time comes, if he can't get in, wouldn't that
blow his cover?

Hearing these words, the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth start to curve upwards. He puts down the
scroll and says, "Little brother, do you know why the Paradise realm has a restriction on
levels?"
You XiaoMo ponders for a bit and then shakes his head firmly. But it definitely has to do with the
owner of the Paradise realm.

Ling Xiao smiles while saying, "The restriction on levels for the Paradise realm was set up by its
owner. But that is only valid for those who are lower than him. If one's strength is higher than the
owner of the Paradise realm, then that restriction is simply invalid.

You XiaoMo gapes. The meaning behind these words, can it be that his strength is even higher than
the owner of the Paradise realm?

In You XiaoMo's mind, someone that is able to create the Paradise realm, a place that is covered
with treasures, the owner's strength can't be that low. At the least it should be Imperial level and
above.

From Ling Xiao's confident tone, his strength can't really be higher than the owner of the Paradise
realm ba? Then higher to what extent? He can't imagine it.

"Then, does Elder brother Ling know the level of the owner of the Paradise realm?"

You XiaoMo asks, looking at him with eyes filled with nosiness and thirsting for information.

"Little brother, do you know that fighters of Imperial strength and above can create
dimensions? Just like my mustard seed dimension."

Ling Xiao doesn't give a real answer to his question, instead choosing to give him some other bit of
knowledge.

You XiaoMo doesn't even have to think before shaking his head. He had wanted to ask about this
matter earlier on. It's not that he didn't think of looking it up from the books in the library. It's just that
he didn't have the time. Then he was forbidden for three days, making him have even less of an
opportunity to look it up.

Ling Xiao already knew that he doesn't know. He then explains it to him.

Every martial artist, once they reach Imperial level, are able to open up spatial rifts. But not
everyone can do it. Most martial artists are afraid of dying, such as Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan.
Ling Xiao guesses that they won't do it unless they are a hundred percent certain because they each
are responsible for their own sects. Because if they are unlucky, the outcome would affect the whole
sect. Without an Imperial level fighter at the helm, it wouldn't be considered a first class sect.

AS for the Paradise realm, Ling Xiao suspects that it is not a genuine spatial crack. Probably
someone powerful carved out an actual piece of land and set it up as an independent dimension. Also,
maybe because too much time has passed, so the barrier around loosens once every fifty years. And
that was how the Paradise realm was discovered by others.

If the Paradise realm is a genuine spatial crack, it won't appear every fifty years. What more at the
same spot. That's because a spatial crack is the most unstable of things.

So Ling Xiao suspects that the owner of the Paradise realm is at Emperor level. Only an Emperor
level martial artist can take such a large piece of land and make it an independent dimension. Also the
highest level martial artists in the Southern region of Long Xiao continent are at Imperial level.
Furthermore, if his level is even higher, he would already have the ability and certainty of opening up
a spatial crack. So, it's no surprise that that person must be of Emperor level.

Chapter 136

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

The insect is here.You XiaoMo doesn't really understand the things concerning the Paradise realm.
Very quickly his thoughts shift to another matter. Immediately he speaks excitedly to Ling Xiao,
"Elder brother Ling, let me tell you some good news. That level eight magic beast has hatched."

"That's very good."

Ling Xiao smiles as he speaks, not the least bit surprised. Left in a space filled with spiritual
energy, it would be strange if it didn't hatch early.

You XiaoMo beams as he speaks, "I also gave him a nickname. Guess what it is?"

Guess the nickname? Ling Xiao's lips start to curve upwards as he looks at him thoughtfully.

You XiaoMo looks at his expression and knows that he is going to guess. He can't help feeling
excited, sparkling rays shooting out from his eyes as he stares at him.

Ling Xiao suddenly reveals a very meaningful smile at him, "Little brother."

En? You XiaoMo immediately nods his head.

Ling Xiao says, "Do you think that Elder brother me, with my high IQ can be compared to
you?"

You XiaoMo's forehead immediately sends out a few question mark lightbulbs. What does he mean
ah? Although the difference is a very big issue, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with
guessing ba?

Ling Xiao sees that he still doesn't understand so he simply says, "Do you think that those with
high IQ and those with low IQ will have the same tastes?"

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

Thanks for taking so much time to insult my low IQ. Picking a name for the little magic beast is
beneath your high IQ?

You XiaoMo shoots him a few glares. So what if my IQ is low. Are you looking down on my low
IQ? Haven't you head the saying that ten common cobblers can surpass Zhuge Liang?

The reality is he really has never heard of it.

"So let's hear it. What name did you give it?"
Ling Xiao feels very smug receiving his glares. Feeling extremely pleased, he finally stops teasing
him. Actually, he is also a little curious. What nickname did he give the Blue-blooded wolf? Clearly
it is enough to call it Blue-blooded wolf. What need is there for a nickname?

"Little rubber ball ....... "

You XiaoMo glances at him and says in a small voice.

Ling Xiao can't stop himself from snorting *pu chi*, laughing, "This name ....... does it mean
anything?"

You XiaoMo immediately nods his head, "Of course it does. It is very mischievous. If you don't
watch it for a moment, it would roll here and there just like a little rubber ball."

But the little boy You XiaoMo doesn't realize that little rubber balls is something that is only found
in modern times. The great Ling Xiao is a through and through person of the ancient times.
Furthermore, he is the most ancient of the ancients. He simply does not understand what is a little
rubber ball. But since it can run and jump around wildly, it should be a very restless fellow.

The the two of them continue chatting for while. Because Ling Xiao can't stay for too long, he is the
first to leave. You XiaoMo stays behind in the library by himself for almost two hours before leaving.

When he returns, he enters the dimension to check up on Little rubber ball. Little rubber ball is very
obedient but it's also not that obedient, jumping here and there inside the small wooden hut. Luckily
he locked his things up in the cupboard. Otherwise they would have been damaged by him.

You XiaoMo also doesn't want to keep it always locked up in the small wooden hut. On top of that,
upon seeing him, Little rubber ball latched on to his lower hem, refusing to let go. He has no choice
but to bring him out of the dimension for now.

"Little rubber ball ah little rubber ball. You must remember to never run outside. Also you
can't simply bark. If you get discovered, you will be taken away. Do you understand?"

You XiaoMo picks up Little rubber ball with two hands and warns him face to face.

Little rubber ball blinks his red gem-like eyes, and then sticks out his tongue like a dog.

You XiaoMo pats its head, "Little rubber ball, you are not a dog. You can't stick out your
tongue, you must nod your head. Understand?"

"Ao ....... "

Little rubber ball howls right away but before it could finishing howling, its mouth is blocked by
You XiaoMo.

"Shh Shh Shh!"


You XiaoMo hastily silences it. If he really lets it howl, the neighbors on the left and right would
probably hear it. If that happens, how is he going to explain the howls coming from his room? He
quickly warns it, "Little rubber ball. I'm not asking you to howl. I'm asking you to nod your
head. Nod your head, you understand?"

He even gives a little demonstration after saying that.

Little rubber ball responds by moving it's little head away and starts to check out its master's room.

You XiaoMo shakes his head helplessly. Looks like he is wishing the heavens would open. Little
rubber ball hatched less than two days ago so it's only to be expected that it doesn't understand his
words. He locks the door and windows of the room before putting Little rubber ball down on the
floor.

Gaining its freedom, Little rubber ball immediately takes to its heels, doing what it loves best,
running around in circles. This time, it runs around the table. After a few rounds, it runs around
something else. After it finishes running circles around everything, it continues running in circles on
the spot.

Seeing that it is no longer howling, You XiaoMo takes out a toy from the dimension and gives it to
Little rubber ball to play with. The toy is made out of bamboo strips woven into a ball. At that time in
HunJi city he bought it while strolling the streets. Little rubber ball is very happy with this bamboo
ball, moving it around occasionally with its paws.

Really fits its name Little rubber ball, taking such a liking to balls.

After letting it play on one side, You XiaoMo doesn't dare to refine magic pills. Because once he
starts to refine magic pills, he would be very absorbed. He definitely wouldn't be able to watch Little
rubber ball. If he were to get into some disaster, attracting the attention of others, it would really be
the death of him.

Picking up an atlas from the bookshelf, You XiaoMo starts to study the map of Long Xiao continent.

He borrows a lot of books from the library. Each time, it's more than ten books. Usually he will
finish them in a month but it's mostly thanks to his ability.

A few days later, Ling Xiao comes to find him again.

This time he brings another piece of news. That is that the male Seven star hidden fragrance insect
is now in his hand.

Before this, Ling Xiao tied up the female one at another place and then set up a barrier around it.
When the male one appeared, he immediately sensed it. So he caught the male one on the spot and on
top of that, he caught something else, the people that were tracking them.

As luck would have it, he recognizes the leader. It's the manager of the Magic pill central
workshop. The old man that sold them the magic herbs. As for the master of the city, Tang Hui, he
didn't appear. Lucky for him to escape all this.

Ling Xiao doesn't let them say anything, simply putting them straight into his dimension. After a few
days, he finds some free time to come look for You XiaoMo, bringing along the pair of Seven star
hidden fragrance insects.

"This is the one male and one female pair of Seven star hidden fragrance insect? Which one
is male?"

You XiaoMo sprawls on the table looking at the Seven star hidden fragrance insects lying as if
dead in the jade box. On the outside, they look completely alike. Which is male and which is female,
there is absolutely no way to tell.

Ling Xiao points at the one on the left, "This is the male one."

You XiaoMo can't help but think gentlemen to the left, ladies to the right, looks like there is logic
behind it. But he is also very curious, stretching his finger to poke the two unmoving insects, "Why
are they not moving?"

Ling Xiao glances vaguely at the Seven star hidden fragrance insects inside the jade box and then
says lightly, "Probably scared to death ba."

Scared to death? Scared of what?

You XiaoMo is puzzled. But looking closer, he sees that the male and female insects are actually
trembling. Only now does he realize that they were actually playing dead. Isn't this too much like
humans? You XiaoMo immediately thinks about his Little rubber ball. Ever since Little rubber ball
was born, it still hasn't formally met Ling Xiao. Since it is his bonded magic beast, shouldn't it get to
know the ....... head of the family?

Disappearing for an instant, You XiaoMo reappears very quickly with a soft and fluffy Little rubber
ball in his arms.

It has already four to five days since Little rubber ball was born. The fur on its body is very dense
and thick. Furthermore, it's white and sparkling, extremely beautiful to look at. You XiaoMo likes this
body of fur the most.

As a result, instead of its normal lively behavior, its body is curled into a ball, all four paws tightly
drawn in. So much so that it really looks like it's name, Little rubber ball. But it is also shivering in
fear.

You XiaoMo is stunned for a moment. What is going on? Hugging it back into his arms, Little
rubber ball immediately tries desperately like an electric drill, to burrow inside his clothes, its paws
scrambling *ba la ba la*.

Not waiting for You XiaoMo to make sense of it, Ling Xiao suddenly stretches out his hand and
grasps Little rubber ball's ear and then lifts it up. The magic beast even though it is still young, its
body is still very sturdy, but even though it is being held up by its ear, it doesn't even make a sound. It
curls back into a ball and trembles pitifully.

You XiaoMo is dumbstruck. Can it be afraid of Ling Xiao? But why on earth for ah?

"Ao wu ....... "

Little rubber ball howls pitifully at You XiaoMo, its eyes brimming with tears, immediately hitting
the softest spot in You XiaoMo's heart.

"Elder brother Ling, he seems to be very afraid of you. How about you give it to me first?"

You XiaoMo glances at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao glances at him and then takes another look at the curled up Little rubber ball.
Immediately he tosses it back into You XiaoMo's arms in disgust. Really useless. He hasn't done
anything and yet it is so afraid to such an extent.

Although it is back in You XiaoMo's arms, Little rubber ball is still shivering endlessly.

You XiaoMo has no choice but to put it back into the dimension. Returning back to the dimension,
Little rubber ball immediately runs off. You XiaoMo suddenly feels depressed.

When he goes out again, Ling Xiao tells him that he wants to bring him somewhere. He takes his
hand and the two of them immediately disappear.

Notes:ten common cobblers can surpass Zhuge Liang - Zhuge Liang was a person of great wisdom,
the main hero of the Romance of Three Kingdoms

gentlemen to the left, ladies to the right - seems to be a common Chinese practice, such as
placement of public toilets, wedding rings, positions during ceremonial photos etc.

Chapter 137

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Only one can live.When they appear again, the scenery has already changed.

You XiaoMo rubs his eyes and discovers that he is in Ling Xiao's dimension. Bluest of skies and
greenest of grass beneath his feet. The grass is almost to his knees. The concentration of spiritual
energy is extremely high in the dimension. He can even feel that everything he breathes in is spiritual
energy. If mystics were to train here, they would probably achieve a thousand li in a day.

Just when he is about to ask why he brought him here, You XiaoMo sees a few people huddled into
a ball not too far away.

One of those people seems to be familiar to You XiaoMo. Luckily it hasn't been too long ago. You
XiaoMo tries his hardest to remember and finally succeeds after a little while.

The oldest looking one, with the mottled grey beard. The one that is looking at him in horror. Isn't
that the manager of HunJi city's Magic pill central workshop who sold him the magic herb seeds?

Thinking of why he should appear here, You XiaoMo suddenly realizes in surprise, can it be, that
the one that used the Seven star hidden fragrance insect to track them is this manager of the Magic pill
central workshop?

But it also can't be right ah. Why would he want to track them? He still remembers that the power
behind the Magic pill central workshop is the Master of HunJi city. Someone that is able to develop
HunJi city to such a large and flourishing place should be a Master that is very fair ba. But the reality
seems to tell him that it isn't so.

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo suddenly feels his head getting all mixed up, unsure if it is really as
he suspects.

Unable to figure it out, he shifts his questioning gaze to Ling Xiao, hoping to get the answer from
him, "Elder brother Ling, what are they doing here ah?"

"Isn't just as you see it? No matter how noble and virtuous, one would always entertain evil
thoughts at the sight of riches."

Ling Xiao looks over at the manager, smiling at him meaningfully. The latter is frightened by his
smile, the horror appearing even more clearly on his face.

"Then what are we going to do now?"

Talking about entertaining evil thoughts at the sight of riches, it finally makes sense to You XiaoMo.
The one behind the Magic pill central workshop is the Master of the city. Since he bought so many
high quality magic herbs from Magic pill central workshop, and he also bought a magic beast egg at
the auction and sold quite a lot of spiritual liquid, that's why these people started to have evil thoughts
at the sight of riches, planning on killing them off and seizing their treasures. Thinking like this, he
can't suppress a shudder. He didn't expect that just buying some things would be so dangerous. Looks
like he would have to ask Ling Xiao to go with him whenever he wants to buy or sell anything from
now on.

"Little brother."

Ling Xiao suddenly reveals a strange smile.

"Are you not short of a few helpers for your magic herb fields? How about ....... I turn them
into puppets. How about it?"

"Spare our lives ah, great lord. We won't dare to do it again. Spare our lives ah great lord!"

Without waiting for You XiaoMo to say anything, those people already start pleading for their lives
incessantly. That manager remains dazed for a while before suddenly scrambling to the front of them.
His wretched appearance has no resemblance to how smart he looked when they saw him at the
Magic pill central workshop.

"Great lord, great lord. I ....... I'm willing to do whatever you want me to do. Please don't turn
me into a puppet."

He plays the part of someone who cares for nothing except saving his own skin to the hilt.

"You're really willing to do anything?"

Ling Xiao smirks as he looks down at him from above.

"Of course, as long as great lord asks it, I will go through boiling water and tread on fire for
you."

The manager kowtows again and again, terrified that Ling Xiao would really turn him into a
puppet.

It must be said that once a person is turned into a puppet, it will be something with no thoughts, no
life, and no soul. Ordered around for all its existence to do things. But the most important thing is that
the soul would disappear forever from heaven and earth, with no chance of rebirth. More tragic than
death.

Seeing that Ling Xiao is showing signs of relenting, the other few people also crawl over to beg for
mercy, showing that they are willing to devote themselves to him.

Ling Xiao suddenly shows a troubled expression, "But I only need one person. There are five of
you so what is to be done ne?"

Just this one sentence makes the five faces change all at once. They look at each other fully on
guard and with veiled killing intention. They don't care if Ling Xiao is serious or not. This is really
their one and only chance.

If there really can be only one left alive, they all want it to be themselves. Selfishness is their
nature. When one's own life is under threat, no one would abide by so-called loyalty and code of
brotherhood.

Having lived for so many years, the manager of the Magic pill central workshop has the clearest
understanding of the situation. The four people he brought with him would definitely not go and die
just because he tells them to. Therefore, as soon as Ling Xiao says those words, not even three
seconds pass before the manager suddenly stretches out his hand. The five fingers turn into claws
before ruthlessly clawing at the chest of one of the black-clothed man closest to him. The malicious
force seeming to want to dig out his heart. It turns out that the black-clothed man was already on
guard. Just as the manager's hand is about to claw him, he stretches out his hand to ward off the blow
and beat a hasty retreat.

The other three black clothed men already retreated immediately. All of them in tacit agreement as
they keep their distance from the manager because they know that among the five of them, the manager
is the strongest one. If they do not dispose of him first, all four of them would have a hard time
holding on to their lives.

The manager is clearly aware of their intentions, his face getting darker. In his heart he curses that
they are a group of useless fellows biting the hand that feeds them. But on the surface, he gets more
cautious. He expected that it would turn out like this.

The four black-clothed man glance at each other, then not giving the manager the chance to breathe
and think of a way to deal with the situation, they launch attacks on the all vital points on his body in
unison. Each and every one of them acts with hardened heart and ruthless hand.

Because they are all the underlings of the manager, they understand him the most. Crafty old
scoundrel. His tricks are even more callous than theirs. As the advisor to the Master of the city, it's
clear he has certain capabilities. So the four of them don't give him any chance to speak, going straight
for his old life.

But the manager is also not a herbivore. Four people joining hands as if by telepathy leaves him in
a little panic, but only for a little while. He recovers very quickly, his brains churning furiously
thinking of a way to deal with the situation.

Because both sides are very familiar with each other, there is no clear winner even after extended
fighting.

You XiaoMo watches them with eyes peeled and mouth hanging open. He only blinked and the five
of them are already in a battle. His shocked expression shifts to Ling Xiao. Swallowing again and
again, "Elder brother Ling, are you really going to turn them into puppets?"

In his mind, puppets should be like walking corpses, something like zombies. Just the thought of
zombies helping to plant magic herbs in his dimension makes his hair stand on end. That's a little too
terrifying. He would rather toil by himself than let these people into his dimension. For him, the
dimension is like his own home, his personal space. There is no way he would let these people
inside.

"Of course not."

Ling Xiao says softly, a joking smile on his face.

Hearing him refute it without the least bit of hesitation, You XiaoMo is dumbstruck. It's a while
before he recovers. Can it be that Ling Xiao is playing with them?

Ling Xiao continues disparagingly, "Thinking of being my puppet with their strength?"

You XiaoMo, "......."

So after all this, this grand old man is actually bemoaning that their strength is too low. So
demanding. He feels that if they knew what Ling Xiao is thinking, they would die from anger alone, no
need for fighting. But it's good that they won't be turned into puppets.

Just as they were talking, the winner is starting to emerge on the other side.

Although the manager is the highest ranked, the four black-clothed men were hand-picked by him.
Because considering Ling Xiao's strength, the manager was afraid that there would be unexpected
difficulties or that they would be discovered. Therefore, he purposely chose to bring four of
uncommon strength. Looks like he himself would have to eat the toxic fruit.

The four men are young. Their combat experience is not less than that of the manager. Furthermore,
they are from the same team so they work together well. Although they are injured, the manager is
also cornered with nowhere to run.

Seeing that he is going to be killed in the hands of these four men, the manager suddenly gets a
stroke of luck that clears his mind. As if clutching on a life-saving straw, he shouts out to Ling Xiao,
wild with joy, "Great lord, I know all of the secrets of the Master of the city ....... ah ....... "

The moment he says these words, the others immediately feel threatened. Behind him, one of the
black-clothed man immediately sends his palm towards his head. The twisted expression on his face
clearly says that he wants to kill him off with this one blow.

But he doesn't get the chance. His palm stops one inch short from the crown of the manager's head.
Even with his face flushed completely red, he has no way of lowering his palm any more.

The manager thought that he would be dead for sure. Unexpectedly, the mountain road has twists
and turns. A look of wild joy flashes across his aged face, before turning sinister and callous. He
flicks his palm and attacks the black-clothed man. The black-clothed man is instantly seriously
injured. He spits out a mouthful of blood, and retreats a few steps, finally falling to the ground never
to get up again.

The other three men know that Ling Xiao was the one that acted. At once, they do not dare to make
any more moves. They can only watch while suppressing their anger as the manager runs up to the
man in a pandering manner.

Although Ling Xiao didn't take any action in front of them, anyone with eyes can see that Ling
Xiao's strength is above theirs. More importantly, they have long been scared out of their wits by this
mysterious dimension.

"Great lord, I am Tang Hun's advisor. I know many of his secrets that others don't know. I
can tell you anything you want to know. Also, that pair of Seven star hidden fragrance insects,
they were raised by Tang Hun ....... "

The manager didn't expect that his desperate idea would actually work. Wild with joy, he spills
everything he knows without giving it another thought, hoping that this man would leave him a way
out.

At this time he already doesn't care what kind of outcome is in store for him for betraying Tang
Hun. In his eyes, no matter how awesome Tang Hun is, he is only a Spiritual level fighter, while this
man in front of him now is a genuine Imperial level fighter. Otherwise, how could he have such a huge
dimension?

"Since they are raised by Tang Hun, you should know about the Seven star magic herb ba?"

Ling Xiao looks at him expressionlessly, speaking indifferently. Not showing the least bit of
surprise at his words.

The manager is stunned for a moment before quickly recovering, rubbing his hands while speaking,
"Servant indeed knows. At first, Tang Hun did have a few Seven star magic herbs. But those few
stalks of Seven star magic herbs were used by Tang Hun a month ago. But I know that there is
another place that has Seven star magic herbs. In order to locate Seven star magic herbs, Tang
Hun has been asking around for a few years. Finally, he got the information half a year ago.
The Seven star magic herb is inside the Paradise realm that will soon open two months from
now."

"Is that it?"

Ling Xiao raises his brows.

"Also, in order to make it easier to find the Seven star magic herb, Tang Hun managed to get
an incomplete map from who knows where. At first, servant didn't know what that map was.
But there was once when Tang Hun let it slip. That's how servant found out that the incomplete
map is actually the map of the Paradise realm."
The manager speaks cautiously while stealing glances at Ling Xiao's expression out of the corner
of his eyes.

"How can you be sure that the map is real?"

Ling Xiao asks, still not showing any change in expression.

"Indeed, servant cannot be absolutely sure. But Tang Hun did swear that the map is a
hundred percent genuine. Servant has followed Tang Hun for many years and knows that he
wouldn't tell lies when it comes to things of such importance." says the manager.

Ling Xiao stares at the terrified manager for a while before suddenly breaking out in laughter,
"How is Tang Hun as a person? How does he normally treat all of you?"

The manager is stunned. He can't seem to figure out what he is thinking, so he replies cautiously:
"To tell great lord the truth, Tang Hun this person is not only easily jealous and greedy for
riches, he is also very treacherous and ruthless while insisting that his word is law. Although
servant has been by his side for tens of years, servant has never gotten unconditional trust from
Tang Hun. He only trusts himself. HunJi city appears peaceful on the surface but it is actually
very unstable on the inside. In order to increase his strength, Tang Hun frequently sends his
disciples to look for magic pills and miracle drugs, causing the death of many a disciple, so
much so that everyone is starting to get a little resentful. So, many people are already getting
unsatisfied with Tang Hun. It's just that Tang Hun's strength is higher than everyone and he
also has a group of bodyguards who are loyal to the death."

These words indirectly reveal the manager's feelings. Otherwise, he wouldn't say 'Tang Hun' over
and over again.

Listening to their conversation, You XiaoMo feels that it is getting more and more off-base. He
feels like he is hearing about a landowner bullying his slaves. Thinking like this, he suddenly speaks
to them, failing to conceal his excitement, "Then do you all want to break yourselves free from
slavery and sing songs of freedom?"

Chapter 138

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Miraculous sheep.Everyone is dumbstruck by his words.

Without needing them to say anything, You XiaoMo feels the impulse to give himself a tight slap
across the mouth.

It's just that he feels that the atmosphere just now was too fitting. Furthermore, he can roughly guess
Ling Xiao's intention. That's why he blurted out those words.

The first to recover is Ling Xiao. He can't stop himself from bursting into laughter. Although he is
already used to You XiaoMo blurting out peculiar words on and off, it still amuses him every time.

'Break yourselves free from slavery and sing songs of freedom', this phrase is very unique indeed.
It pretty much carries the same meaning as what he wants to say.

"I will give you all some time to think it over. Let me know your answer when you're done."

Ling Xiao pulls You XiaoMo back to his side, straightening his sleeves as he speaks. He doesn't
give them any further explanation but he knows that the five of them understand what he means. If they
don't understand, he would have no need for these people.

"I am willing to be loyal to great lord forever."

After being momentarily stunned, the manager reveals an elated expression, making his decision
without the least bit hesitation. Only a fool would not accept the meat pie that fell from heaven.

"We are also willing to pledge our lives to great lord."

The three black-clothed men and the other black-clothed man crawling up from the ground chime
in. Just like the manager, the three of them are elated. This piece of meat pie is not of ordinary size.

Then, the five of them start to swear an oath but is stopped by Ling Xiao.

He feels that playthings like oaths are not strong enough. He has more faith in himself. So what he
means is that if the five people truly want to follow him, they would let him do something to their
souls. As long as they stay true to him forever, nothing would happen to them.

The five people look at each other but they soon agree not long after because if they don't, they are
only left with death.

But that is only one of the reasons. In their eyes, Tang Hun is only a Spiritual level martial artist.
There is no way he can be compared to an Imperial level fighter. In their eyes, an Imperial level
fighter is equivalent to TianXin sect and QingCheng sect, these first class powers, because the reason
why they are so big and powerful is because they have an Imperial level fighter at the helm.

So rather than following Tang Hun that only treat them as underlings, it would be better to follow
this man here. Maybe they can even carve out a territory for themselves together with him. Thinking
that the Master they follow might very possibly establish a force like TianXin sect and QingCheng
sect, the five men immediately get very excited.

What they don't know is that Ling Xiao simply has no intention of establishing a strong power like
TianXin sect. Someone as indifferent as him is bound to have no sense of responsibility. The reason
why he lets them replace Tang Hun in HunJi city is actually for another reason.

After finishing discussing the matter, Ling Xiao lets the five of them go.

Returning back to the real world, You XiaoMo looks at Ling Xiao with uncertainty, "Elder brother
Ling, are you going to HunJi city again?"

Ling Xiao looks at him who finished speaking but still looks as if he has more to say. He can't help
stretching out his hand and giving his cheek a pinch, saying softly, "What's the matter? Can it be
that my little brother cannot bear to see me go?"

"Who can't bear to see you go ah!"

You XiaoMo rolls his eyes at him as he mutters softly.

Of course Ling Xiao hears him but because he's not saying what he really means, Ling Xiao only
pauses before saying, "I don't have much interest in setting up a force, but it would good to get
some connections. This would make it more convenient for any discreet inquiries we need. Also,
when you become a mid-level or high level mage, you can let them help you find where the
magic herbs or magic herb seeds are. This way it's much easier than you running here and
there."

You XiaoMo is stunned. He didn't think that Ling Xiao would actually include that into
consideration. Suddenly, he feels very touched but Ling Xiao suddenly finishes what he is saying.

He says, "When that time comes, you can refine magic pills for me."

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

He decides to take back his feelings of being touched.

"Elder brother Ling, when do you plan to set out? Didn't the Grand Master forbid you from
going out as you wish?"

You XiaoMo is silent for a while before asking.

Although his understanding of Ling Xiao is not as deep as he imagines it to be, he can guess that
based on Ling Xiao's free and easy and unprincipled nature, this type of person won't take the pains to
set up a force. This kind of feeling is similar to the just for fun nature of those in the 21st century.
Most probably, it's only a passing interest.

Ling Xiao says, "The traitor Pu Chan has already been caught. Tang Fan no longer restricts
my freedom. I can leave TianXin sect at any time."

You XiaoMo exclaims 'oh', yet his eyes dart around.

One look at his expression and Ling Xiao understands what he is thinking. He smiles while saying,
"Little brother, are you thinking that you want to come with me?"

You XiaoMo doesn't feel awkward at being discovered, "Actually, I don't have to go. It's just
that if you have some free time and if it's convenient, you can buy some rabbit meat, mutton or
the like and bring it back for me."

He knows his own weight. If he goes, he would give Ling Xiao more trouble.

"Xiao Piqiu?"

The corner of Ling Xiao's mouth twitches as amusement flashes across his eyes, as if he is thinking
of something funny.

He didn't expect that he would guess it so easily. You XiaoMo doesn't hide it any more, laughing
*hei hei* while speaking, "Xiao Piqiu is a carnivore. These few days it polished off all the meat I
kept in the dimension. So I was thinking of going down the mountain to buy some more."

The dimension is able to preserve the freshness of food. So You XiaoMo bought quite a lot the last
time he went down the mountain. But because he prefers vegetarian food, he doesn't eat too much
meat. So he also didn't buy a lot of it.

"Little brother ah ....... "

Ling Xiao looks at him jokingly, unable to keep a straight face.

"What is it?"

You XiaoMo shrinks into himself. He feels that this smile is somewhat unusual. Also, it seems as if
he rarely smiles like this.

"Do you know what magic beasts usually like to eat?"

Ling Xiao grins as he asks.

"It can't be that they don't eat meat?"

You XiaoMo asks, feeling all embarrassed.


Ling Xiao draws out his words, "Of course they eat meat. But it's not the same as what you
said ....... "

Rabbit meat and mutton, these are food for normal people. These can not be considered as magic
beasts, they can only be regarded as normal animals. Pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep, the biggest
difference between these and magic beasts is that they don't have mystical abilities. One can only get
full by eating them. So for mid-level magic beasts like the level eight Blue-blooded wolf, what they
eat is not normal meat.

Magic beasts also have natural enemies. And, their enemies are also their food source. The natural
enemy of the Blue-blooded wolf is the Miraculous sheep.

The Miraculous sheep are also level eight magic beasts, just like the Blue-blooded wolf. But there
is a major difference between them and the Blue-blooded wolf. That is, the Miraculous sheep are
herbivores. They eat magic herbs. So wherever they are found is also where magic herbs are. This is
something that all mystics know!

"So ....... you mean that we have to catch a few Miraculous sheep for Xiao Piqiu to eat?"

You XiaoMo swallows as he speaks with difficulty.

He has read about the Miraculous sheep in the scrolls. It's a type of herd animal. Their nature is
gentle but that is on the premise that no one provokes them. If they are provoked, the eyes of the
Miraculous sheep would turn bright red and the horns on their head would also glow red. Then they
will start to go crazy and attack any outsiders no matter if they are mystics or magic beasts.

The exception to this is the Blue-blooded wolf. Because like what was just described, magic
beasts are very sensitive to their own natural enemies. Miraculous sheep are no exception. As soon as
they come across Blue-blooded wolves, they would automatically transform into rage mode and
launch attacks on the Blue-blooded wolves.

But this type of action has a huge drawback. That is, they don't distinguish between friend and foe.

The rage blurs their awareness, making them attack friend and foe indiscriminately. That's why
very few mystics would choose them to be their bonded magic beast. So, most of them would treat
them as something edible. A special food that can increase their power.

"The meat of the Miraculous sheep is not only very nutritious for Xiao Piqiu. It can also
accelerate its growth to maturity, especially the mature Miraculous sheep. Because they grow up
by eating magic herbs, their meat is very delicious and full of spiritual energy. So, even mystics
love to eat it."

Ling Xiao says as he suddenly appears to be savoring the aftertaste. In fact, this is his real motive.

You XiaoMo pouts. One look at his expression and he knows that he has eaten it before. But is it
really that delicious? He knows that this Ling Xiao is very picky in many aspects, so something that is
praised by him should be very good.

As a modern person who has eaten lamb hot pot, he doesn't have any qualms over eating sheep. But
if you ask him to eat wolf meat, that would be absolutely impossible.

"Elder brother Ling, I heard that the Miraculous sheep are only found in the Doomsday
forest. But that Doomsday forest seems to be very far from TianXin sect. Does that mean we
have to make a special trip all the way there?"

You XiaoMo asks after thinking about it.

"No need. When the time comes, we can just get them to inquire about auctions selling the
meat of the Miraculous sheep." says Ling Xiao.

Because the whole body of the Miraculous sheep is precious, many martial artists will gang up to
enter the Doomsday forest to hunt the Miraculous sheep. Just a little bit of asking is enough to find out
where they can be found.

Ling Xiao is a man of his word. Five days later, he takes a trip down the mountain.

But because their every action is now under the watch of others, in order not to attract attention, he
doesn't bring You XiaoMo along.

A few days later, he sends word bearing good news.

Notes:mouth says yes while heart says no - not saying what one really means

weight - burden

Xiao Piqiu - little rubber ball (I think it's easier and sounds better to leave it in Chinese)

Chapter 139

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Man in a blue shirt.QingQiu mountain range is the domain of QingCheng sect. The whole QingQiu
mountain range belongs to QingCheng sect.

The Grand Master of QingCheng sect, Luo ChengYuan is a very shrewd man. He's also very good
in business. He opened up the areas in QingQiu mountain range that receive the most traffic, setting up
a few towns and cities. He allows the other forces and merchants to set up shops and conduct trade as
long as they pay the specified amount of rent.

These cities and towns developed very quickly. At this moment, the most famous one is Qing city.

Qing city's name is more well-known than HunJi city. Although the flow of people is probably less
than HunJi city, the quantity of people is usually more. Furthermore, the treasures that can't be found
in HunJi city can be found in Qing city.

This time, the information that Ling Xiao got is about Qing city. In three days, Xiao Piqiu's
provisions, the Miraculous sheep will appear in Qing city. Furthermore, it's not just one sheep,
causing many to head over there.

Miraculous sheep are very attractive to mystics. So, when the time comes, the competition will be
very fierce.

After getting this information, You XiaoMo starts to make the preparations.

According to the information obtained by Ling Xiao, the Miraculous sheep will be sold by auction.
So he has to ensure that he has enough gold coins.

In order to hasten the growth of Xiao Piqiu, You XiaoMo decides to put in enough capital this time.
He decides to use up the remaining gold coins in his magic bag. After all, he already has enough
magic herb seeds for now. He doesn't have to buy anymore for the time being. But he is still worried
that there isn't enough gold coins, so he decides to sell a little more magic pills the next time he goes
down the mountain.

Besides this matter, Ling Xiao also tells him about what's happening in HunJi city.

He already has the map of the Paradise realm in his hands. But, just like the manager said, it is
really only an incomplete map. Luckily the location of the Seven star magic herb is marked on it.

As for Tang Hun, You XiaoMo doesn't even need to guess what happened to him. Based on Ling
Xiao's character, that person is definitely dead. So, after Tang Hun's death, the manager smoothly
assumes his position. Although his power is not enough to convince the masses, it is enough with Ling
Xiao at his back. Also, the reason why he let him manage HunJi city is because this person has
enough smarts and is capable of reading the times.

After that, Ling Xiao stayed in HunJi city for two days before coming back. The reason is, although
Tang Hun is dead, it caused an awful mess. Some people were bound to object to him giving the
position to the manager. So Ling Xiao had to stay there and beat them into submission. He only
returned after they became totally subservient, not daring to have any more thoughts of rebellion.

But, by the time he returned, it is only one day away from the time the Miraculous sheep would
appear.

Ling Xiao doesn't go straight to Earth peak to get him. Instead they agree to meet in the rest house in
HePing town.

Because Fang ChenLe went to YunShui peak, You XiaoMo only told Zhao DaZhou before leaving.
He already prepared an excuse. That is, he is going down the mountain to sell magic pills and buy
magic herbs. Zhao DaZhou doesn't suspect anything, only telling You XiaoMo that he would help him
notify Master. You XiaoMo thanks him and heads down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, he heads straight to HePing town. Because he is early, he doesn't
see Ling Xiao inside the rest house. Unexpectedly, the manager of the rest house recognizes him, as if
knowing that he is a disciple from TianXin sect, greeting him eagerly and inviting him to take a seat
inside.

There are many people eating in the main hall. It's also a little noisy. But You XiaoMo doesn't
allow the manager to open up a room for him. He is worried that Ling Xiao wouldn't be able to find
him when he comes, so he doesn't take a room. Also, taking a room costs money. The somewhat
greedy and somewhat miserly You XiaoMo doesn't want to spend this money.

Because the matter about the Paradise realm is already a huge topic of discussion, so no matter
where one goes, there will be people talking about it.

But You XiaoMo already knows what the Paradise realm is all about from Ling Xiao so he is not
interested in their discussion.

After drinking ten cups of tea, You XiaoMo is hesitating over whether he should go to the toilet
when an outburst erupts two tables away, as if some people are having a quarrel. Just as he turns his
head and looks over, a black shadow is sent flying. As it happens, it is headed straight for him.

You XiaoMo is stunned. Is this going to involve him, a bystander?

Then he feels someone pulling his arm, making him stagger to one side.

That flying black figure smashes right onto the table. The robust like an ox body immediately turns
the whole table into smithereens. How much force must there be to cause this kind of outcome ah?

You XiaoMo watches this scene with bulging eyes and mouth hanging open. Mom ya! If it landed
on him, wouldn't that mean even his bones would be smashed to bits? He suddenly feels very lucky,
thanking his lucky stars that he escaped unharmed.

Thinking that Ling Xiao is the one that saved him, You XiaoMo turns his head and says, "Elder
brother Ling, you ....... "

His voice cuts off when he sees the man's face. This fellow is not Ling Xiao. Also his looks is a
long way off from Ling Xiao, his face covered in pimples .......

"Young brother, you've got the wrong person. Although my surname is indeed Lin, I don't
remember having such a good younger brother. I just saw that you were soon going to be
affected by that group of people so I took action. If I offended you in any way, please excuse
me!"

Seeing that You XiaoMo is mistaken about his identity, the man in a blue shirt doesn't get upset.
Instead, his words are rather witty and humorous. His refined and courteous manner actually makes
You XiaoMo a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I thought my big brother has arrived."

You XiaoMo immediately apologizes, laughing foolishly.

A sparkles flashes in the eyes of the man with a blue shirt. He smiles while saying, "There's no
harm. If I had such a good-looking younger brother, I would smile for many days. That's right,
young brother, is your big brother not here yet?"

"That's right ah. Is there a problem?"

You XiaoMo asks.

"No problem. Since it's like this, and since there are no more empty tables, if young brother
doesn't mind, we can share a table. After all, I am also by myself. How about it?"

The man in a blue shirt hastily waves his hands, afraid that he would suspect that he has another
motive. He then extends the invitation in a friendly manner.

You XiaoMo also feels that what he says is reasonable so he doesn't refuse. Just as he opens his
mouth to answer him, someone suddenly walks in the door. That person is dressed very luxuriously,
with an uncommon air, and a handsome face. The kind of people that would shine no matter where
they go. On top of that, the energy he emits makes it clear that he is a strong fighter.

Just when everyone is still guessing who this noble looking man is, You XiaoMo suddenly stands
up and waves at him while calling out excitedly, "Elder brother Ling, I'm over here."

He doesn't notice that the face of the man in a blue shirt next to him changes abruptly when he hears
those words, a look of unease and irritation flashes across his face as if he is feeling like 'the duck in
his hand has flown away.'
Ling Xiao walks over, his eyes sweeping past the smashed table on the floor, then shifting to You
XiaoMo and the man in a blue shirt. He doesn't say a thing, his gaze finally resting rather playfully on
the man in a blue shirt.

The man in a blue shirt feels uncomfortable under his stare. He feels as if this man can see right
through him, from inside out. He can't help but feel his heart grow cold. This man's strength is quite a
bit higher than his. Looks like this half-cooked duck has really flown away.

Thinking like this, the man in a blue shirt puts back the gentle smile on his face and says to You
XiaoMo, "Young brother, since your big brother is here, I won't disturb the both of you. I also
remembered that there is something I have to do so I will be going first. Goodbye."

You XiaoMo exclaims 'ei'. He had wanted to introduce him to Ling Xiao. No matter how it is, he is
someone that saved his life. But he suddenly remembers one thing, quickly calling him back, "This
big brother. What is your name?"

The man in a blue shirt's expression stiffens. He hastily waves his hand, while both his legs show
no signs of slowing down while heading to the door. He says rather insincerely, "It's only a chance
meeting, young brother doesn't need to bother."

You XiaoMo sighs with emotion, "He's really a good man that doesn't seek something in
return!"

As soon as he says these words, the eavesdroppers listening in on their conversation immediately
sputter. They are the ones that want to sigh. This young brother is obviously the type of idiot that
would help to count the money after being sold off. There is no genuine good men in this world. Even
more improbable that there would be people who don't ask for something in return. Martial artists
like them who fight against heaven and men, who among them did not crawl out from grappling inside
the mud, whole body covered in dirt?

No one would be good to you for no reason. Unless they are really an idiot. Or they have some
ulterior motive. The man in a blue shirt clearly belongs to the second group.

"Yes ah. He's a good man ne!"

Just at this moment, Ling Xiao that had been silent along, suddenly praises him exuberantly,
showing all smiles.

Everyone looks at him in shock. They had thought that this man would warn the youth to not easily
accept the favors of others. Unexpectedly, he actually agrees with the youth's opinion. He clearly
looks like someone who is very sharp.

The man in a blue shirt is already at the door when he almost misses a step and almost falls down
head first. His face is completely shocked. Can it be that he has misjudged the situation?

Just when everyone is speculating wildly, You XiaoMo on the other hand is having doubts. Because
in his mind, Ling Xiao would never praise others casually. Especially not when he is smiling so
sweetly. Something is definitely going on.

The reality proves that his intuition is not wrong. The man in a blue shirt didn't manage to leave the
rest house before he is pulled back by Ling Xiao, acting all 'you are the benefactor of my younger
brother, so I have to repay you'. He then continuously offers him wine.

By the time they leave the rest house, the man in a blue shirt is already sprawled out, his whole
body reeking of wine, and foaming at the mouth. Seeing that he is unconscious, some people take the
opportunity to take away his magic bag.

After that, a new 'legend' emerged in the peaceful HePing town. There was a man that had no
money to settle his bill so he was beat up badly by the manager of the rest house and stripped of his
clothes. Then he was thrown out of the rest house. That man then ran one round in the streets of
HePing town completely naked .......

You XiaoMo only found out about this matter a long time later. By that time, he had already been
instructed by Ling Xiao with both words and deeds.

Notes:nine dead, none alive - definitely dead

meeting between drifting patches of duckweed - chance meeting

Chapter 140

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Qing city's Pavilion of Ten thousand treasures.After leaving HePing town, You XiaoMo was
immediately confined by Ling Xiao and disciplined. Simply believing in strangers. What if that
person has some other motive? After getting sold off, are you going to help count the money?

So Ling Xiao makes use of this opportunity to teach You XiaoMo a lesson. The contents of the
lesson is not to trust anyone who is good to you for no reason. That's because they are bound to have
an ulterior motive.

You XiaoMo is still a little unconvinced. But he knows that this is probably because the two
worlds are different. But what he doesn't understand is, why does he have to be on guard when people
are being nice to him. In his mind, not everyone is necessarily bad. So he throws this question at Ling
Xiao.

"Little brother, mystics can have the power to blot out the sky with one hand and have
extraordinary powers because they are going against the laws of heaven. Because defying the
laws of heaven is a very dangerous road, the best method is to continuously increase ones power.
Power is not something that can be increased just because you want it to increase. Each mystic's
ability is a little different. Those with poor talent or poor condition, they can only rely on
continuously looting all kinds of resources. Do you understand?"

Ling Xiao doesn't like to resort to preaching because in his eyes, the fist is clearer. But if he can get
You XiaoMo to understand, he doesn't mind saying it once.

With these words, You XiaoMo more of less understands. Briefly, when the means of survival
differs, the rules of the world will also be different.

The world that he lived in before is a very ordinary world. Mankind only sought to dress warmly
and eat their fill. There are probably those that value power and money but because of the limitations
of that world, these people can only climb to the highest point of the human pyramid, nothing more.

If we use an example, if the pyramid for Earth is only one meter high, the pyramid for Long Xiao
continent would be a thousand meters or ten thousand meters high. The both of them are fundamentally
different.

So, the desires of the people are also not on the same scale. The world would also become more
complex, causing the erosion of humanity.

But .......

"Elder brother Ling Xiao. Speaking of that is one thing, but can you not put your hands in my
clothes?"
You XiaoMo grits his teeth as he speaks.

They are clearly discussing the great truths of the world. Such a serious atmosphere and this fellow
actually is so brazen as to reach his hands in and rub his chest. Actually, he really wants to mourn the
death of his view of the world at this moment but Ling Xiao simply doesn't give him the chance. It's
clearly the most fitting time to be filled with sorrow.

"No can do."

Ling Xiao lowers his head and looks at him, a smile on his lips. No matter how You XiaoMo
struggle and push, that hand under his clothes refuses to come out. Instead, it even gives him a few
wicked strokes, while giving those protruding little red beans a few pinches.

You XiaoMo takes a deep breath in anger and glares hatefully at him. Feeling that it's not enough to
relieve his anger, he raises his foot and kicks him in the leg. What happens next is 'ai yo', a miserable
shriek. You XiaoMo hugs his own foot, his face distorted with pain. A little more and two crocodile
tears would fly out of his eyes.

"You you you ....... what are your legs made of?"

He actually feels as if he is kicking a copper or iron wall. This bastard. Not only are his lips and
hands bullying him, even the leg is bullying him.

Ling Xiao is so amused that he almost has difficulty breathing from laughing too hard. Hugging his
body, he says with unbridled joy, "It's actually made out of flesh."

You XiaoMo glares at him, as if saying 'I don't believe you'.

"Then let Elder brother help you rub it."

Ling Xiao grins as he speaks.

"You bastard. Clearly it is my foot that is hurt. Why are you rubbing my chest? My chest is not
hurt."

Ling Xiao immediately acts as if he has a sudden realization. He apologizes sincerely, "I'm sorry.
I forgot. I definitely won't do that the next time."

There will be a next time? I won't give you the chance! Looking at his wicked smile, it's hateful no
matter how you look at it. You XiaoMo resolves to never trust anything he says ever again.

Accompanied by bursts of whispered curses, the horse carriage rushes along in a lively manner
towards Qing city. You XiaoMo doesn't realize at all that he is no longer suffering from motion
sickness this time.

Qing city is big city that the leader of QingCheng sect wants to develop. It can be ranked in the top
three in the Southern region.
The carriage jolts around for half a day before You XiaoMo finally can't take it any more. Ling
Xiao also doesn't plan to take the Raging fire horse all the way there. Halfway there, he sends away
the Raging fire horse and summons the Winged bird to bring them to Qing city.

The speed of the Winged bird is much faster than the Raging fire horse. They reach Qing city less
than half a day later. Looking from afar, the area of Qing city is larger than HunJi city. The imposing
and grand outline of the city is extremely shocking. Looking from up high, one still can't see the end of
Qing city. No wonder QingCheng sect can stand shoulder to shoulder with TianXin sect. This display
of power is actually very impressive.

Because they are short of time, they don't have time to take a stroll in the city. Ling Xiao lets the
Winged bird put them down in a forest outside the city. He then carries a limping You XiaoMo into
the city. But before entering the city, Ling Xiao changes both their faces.

It may not have been necessary to change their appearance when they went to HunJi city because
HunJi city is really very far from TianXin sect. Information may not necessarily travel to TianXin
sect. But it's not the same for Qing city.

Qing city is the territory of QingCheng sect. There are many QingCheng disciples defending inside
the city. There are guards patrolling everyday. The security can not be described as lax but this is the
place where people come and go. If news gets out, it would easily get to the ears of TianXin sect. So
they have no choice but to be careful when doing things.

Qing city is most famous for its Pavilion of ten thousand treasures. The Pavilion of ten thousand
treasures holds an auction every month. But usually the premium items will be auctioned off once
every three months.

This month's auction is coincidentally the once in three months auction of premium items.

But it's not quite the same as the Seven star auction house. Seven star auction house is a regular
auction house. It's usually open to the public. Anyone can go in. The Pavilion of ten thousand
treasures is a private auction house. Entry is not permitted without a special invitation from
QingCheng sect.

"Elder brother Ling, how are we going to get in without invitations?"

You XiaoMo hastily asks Ling Xiao when he hears that invitations are required. What he forgets is,
why would Ling Xiao bring him here if he doesn't have an invitation? Also, even if he doesn't have
one, he would just get one.

Ling Xiao says, "Although Tang Hun's faction is not considered first class, it can still be
considered a second class power. Also, he has a wide range of businesses that have considerable
influence. Most importantly, he has money. So QingCheng sect would definitely send him an
invitation."
After finding out that Ling Xiao wants to take part in the auction at the Pavilion of ten thousand
treasures, Manager Qi looked up the information and handed him the invitation right away. Ling Xiao
is very pleased with his direct and efficient manner.

Although they have changed their appearances, they are still quite striking. That is because Ling
Xiao is carrying You XiaoMo. If he was carrying a woman, it may not attract so much attention. But
the thing is, the one he is carrying is a man.

You XiaoMo doesn't have such a thick skin. After being stared at continuously, he can't take it
anymore, struggling to get down. Actually, his foot is already not that painful.

Ling Xiao knows that he is thin-skinned so he doesn't insist. After putting him down, he wants to
pull him towards the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures but You XiaoMo is rooted on the spot. Ling
Xiao turns his head to see him looking excitedly at a shop. That shop is a magic pill shop.

"Elder brother Ling, I want to go inside to sell some magic pills. How about you wait for me
here?"

You XiaoMo turns his head and speaks to Ling Xiao. If he didn't catch sight of this magic pill shop,
he would have forgotten the other thing he had to do. Otherwise, it would be a wasted trip if the
auctions starts with him not having enough money.

Ling Xiao raises his brows, roughly guessing what's on his mind. He simply drags him away while
saying, "No need to sell magic pills. I have gold coins."

You XiaoMo is stunned, asking, "How did you get them?"

In his mind, Ling Xiao is poor pauper who is poorer than him. So every time they come across a
place where they have to spend gold coins, he never counted upon Ling Xiao to settle the amount. So
he is very conscious of the how much he has in his pocket.

"Tang Hun."

Ling Xiao doesn't even turn around as he flippantly tosses those words at him.

Hearing that name, You XiaoMo feels deeply jealous. Some people only have to act once and they
get such a huge gold mine (Tang Hun's possessions). As for him, every time he sells magic pills, it's
only a few ten thousand gold pieces. At most, it's only close to two million at one time. And even
then, he would spend close to a million after that. Comparing the both of them really angers him to
death!

But, in the end, You XiaoMo exchanges the magic pills he planned to sell for Ling Xiao's gold
coins. A magic bag that's not too large, but it is filled with gold coins. He makes a rough count. It's
quite a few times more than his .......

Looking at this pile of gold coins, only three words remain in You XiaoMo's mind - envy, jealousy,
hate!

Half an hour later, they finally reach the door of the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures.

Contrary to expectations, the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures is not as conspicuous as the Seven
star auction house. Its entrance is rather concealed. People that are unfamiliar with it would most
probably walk right by without noticing it. But then there aren't many people walking around here.

There are no guards at the entrance of the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures. There's only a black
curtain hanging motionlessly. Ling Xiao doesn't hesitate, bringing You XiaoMo along as he walks
right in.

Inside, it is not as dark as You XiaoMo imagined. Instead, it is very bright. Also, they finally see
the guards. They are guarding the mouth of the passageway. When they walk over, one of the guards
asks them for their invitation.

Ling Xiao takes out the invitation and hands it to him.

The guard takes one look at it before handing it back to Ling Xiao. He then asks them if they want
cloaks.

Ling Xiao asks for two black cloaks. Then he takes one of them and wraps it around You XiaoMo
because everyone that is taking part in the auction at the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures will be
gathered inside a big hall. So it seems that everyone will be able to see everything that is happening
inside that big hall. At that time, if you don't want to let others see your true face, the cloak is a
necessary item.

After putting on the cloaks, Ling Xiao leads You XiaoMo into the auction hall.

Because they arrive rather late, at this time, the big hall is already filled with people. But because
QingCheng sect is behind the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures, no one dares to act out of hand. The
atmosphere is less chaotic than the Seven star auction house. Most of the people are seating
composedly in their seats painting a scene of cordial conversation.

When the both of them step inside, Ling Xiao immediately feels a few probing mental sweeps over
them. The mental probes are coming from a few directions in the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures.
Those directions coincide with the positions of the guards of the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures.
There is one more probe coming from behind the auction platform. This mental probe is a little
stronger then the rest of them.

But Ling Xiao doesn't even wrinkle his brow. Even a stronger person would still only be a flea in
his eyes. It's impossible to penetrate him and the barrier he put up around You XiaoMo.

Usually, stronger people would choose to sit at the front. But Ling Xiao doesn't choose to sit in
front. He chooses an empty seat at the back and sits down with You XiaoMo sitting at his side.

Because he already took part in an auction before, this time You XiaoMo doesn't act like he did last
time, a complete newbie. Actually, he has no choice because the cloak on him seems to cover his
whole head. Even walking is a little difficult.

The two of seem to have come right on time. Not long after they sit down, the auction begins.

The main hall that was already rather quiet becomes even quieter. Everyone turns to look at the
auction platform.

An old man in green robes walks out from behind the auction platform. Without saying many
unnecessary words, he very quickly gets to the main event. The first auction item is precisely the meat
of the Miraculous sheep that everyone is waiting for. But it's not like the information that Ling Xiao
received. It seems that there is only meat from one sheep.

There is no need for anyone to get worried. The revised appearance will definitely be amended
later.

Chapter 141

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Ding Shi gets angered to death.One Miraculous lamb, when you remove the horns, fur, skeleton,
and other inedible things, will leave about two hundred pounds of meat.

But according to Manager Qi's information, there will be not be just one Miraculous sheep
appearing in this auction. Instead there will a total of three. Three sheep added together will be six
hundred pounds. If auctioned in one lot, the bidding would definitely reach a sky high price.

But because there are many forces that rushed here for the Miraculous sheep, quite a few of them
with the determined to win attitude, so in order to avoid chaos, the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures
decided to divide the three Miraculous sheep into three lots.

After the green-robed man announces the minimum bid, everyone starts to put in their bids.

A pound of Miraculous sheep meat is twenty thousand gold coins. Two hundred pounds is four
million. This minimum price is actually not low. Twenty thousand for one pound is the regular market
price.

But everyone who comes to the auction knows that usually things that are auctioned off won't have
a low final price. Especially a hot item like Miraculous sheep.

Soon after the green-robed man finishes his announcement, the number of people rushing to place
their bids are not less than twenty. But with the rising prices, the number of bidders get less and less.
In the end, as expected, only the forces in the first row remain in the bidding.

Some people have money but choose to give up rather willingly because there are still two more
chances after this.

Right now, everyone has quite a lot of gold coins so the prices they call out are a little extravagant.
But it won't be the same later. Everyone's purses will be rather empty. The fierceness of bidding may
be a little less than how it is now. So some of them choose to let go while hoping for that.

At this time, a red faced old man suddenly stands up in the first row. This person is not wearing a
black cloak so everyone can clearly see his appearance. With this action, the noisy atmosphere in the
main hall quiets down all at once.

The red-faced old man seems to have expected this. A slight gentle smile hangs on his face. He
casts a glance at those few people who were just bidding against him, and then says, "This old me
bids six million. This is old me's final price. If my dear sirs and madams can bid higher, this old
me will secede this round."

After speaking, the red-faced old man sits back down.


The people that he targeted suddenly start to look uncertain.

You XiaoMo sees that the atmosphere is strangely quiet so he leans close to Ling Xiao and
whispers curiously, "Elder brother Ling, what is going on? What is with that old man?"

Ling Xiao explains, "He is Ding Shi. An elder from XingLuo group. His strength is Celestial
level, seven stars, still can barely be considered someone of strength over here ba."

Speaking of XingLuo group, their name recognition can be said to be lower than TianXin sect and
QingCheng sect. But they are indeed a first class sect. A major force that is on par with TianXin sect
and QingCheng sect. It's just that the people of XingLuo group have always been rather low-key and
reserved so most people have only heard of their name but rumors about them are very few and far
between.

But in spite of their low profile, there a quite a few that are known to all, like Ding Shi. Don't be
fooled by his amiable manner. In reality this person's tricks are more ruthless than anyone. His
strength is actually not as famous as his deviousness.

So that's why when he stood up, a few faces immediately darkened because they recognized that the
red-faced old man is XingLuo group's Ding Shi. Although his words are not explicit, everyone can
hear the threat it carries. He is clearly using his position to threaten others. Him saying these words
shows that he is certain that others would not dare to go against XingLuo group.

Those few people, even though they don't feel good inside, it can't be denied that it's definitely not
worth it to offend a first class power just for two hundred pounds of Miraculous sheep meat.

After a few moments of internal struggle, those few people have no choice but to give up.

Seeing this, a satisfied smile appears on the old face of Ding Shi, as if he totally expected this.
Then he looks at the green-robed old man of the auction house, lifting up his chin while saying, "You
can declare it already ba?"

The green-robed old man wrinkles his brow rather imperceptibly. This sum is still two million
under the estimate of the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures. Although they had somewhat expected it,
but experiencing it now still leaves him a little displeased. Just when he is about raise the gavel in his
hand to strike it down, a languid voice suddenly calls out from the back.

"Seven million!"

The moment he calls out, everyone turns and looks to the back, looking in shock at the person who
called out the bid.

It's a person wearing a black cloak. The face can't be clearly seen but the voice indeed came from
him. The most surprising thing is he dared to go against XingLuo group right in front of everyone.
That's why everyone is so curious.
When Ding Shi hears this voice, his face darkens. His piercing stare falls on Ling Xiao like a knife.
He totally didn't expect someone would actually dare to slight XingLuo group in public.

But this is the domain of QingCheng sect. No matter how unhappy he is, he can't break the rules.
Otherwise, he would be giving QingCheng sect an excuse to launch a preemptive strike.

Thinking like this, Ding Shi shifts his gaze to Ling Xiao at the back row. He says, appearing rather
politely, "My friend. Old me is XingLuo group's Ding Shi. Would it be possible to give old me
some face and cede the item to old me?"

Hearing these words, Ling Xiao's lips curve up suddenly under the cloak, slowly spitting out the
words, "Not possible!"

Ding Shi's face immediately darkens. In his eyes, he is already doing him a great favor by adopting
a humble attitude and speaking in a friendly manner. But this person, not only does he not know what's
good for him, he also doesn't abide by his words. On top of that, he made such a frank rejection.
Clearly he doesn't think much of XingLuo group. Since it's like this, he won't hold back any longer.

Ding Shi huffs loudly and sits back down and bids again.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao is not lacking in gold coins at the moment. He is not hesitant like Ding
Shi. He calls out his bid without any hesitation, driving the price up to nine million in a blink of an
eye.

Ding Shi is so furious that his old face is completely red. In the end, he has to give up. This price
has surpassed the value of the Miraculous sheep. Any more would be a loss. Also, there are still quite
a few treasures to come. He still has to reserve some gold coins for later.

In the end, the two hundred pounds of Miraculous sheep meat was won by Ling Xiao at the high
price of nine million.

The first item was sold at such a high price. So the coming treasures can only be worth more, not
less. Immediately it stokes everyone's expectation. The displeasure they felt before vanishes in an
instant. In order to win what they each want, everyone seems to be flushed red with excitement.

But there is one thing worth mentioning. Although the things on auction can be considered premium
goods, they also can't be called really premium goods because the real premium goods have already
been taken away by QingCheng sect long ago.

That's because the backing of the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures is QingCheng sect. Actually,
some people suspect that the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures was started by QingCheng sect. But
because there is no proof, it only remains a speculation.

With item after item being auctioned off, Ding Shi doesn't raise his hand a single time. Right until
the appearance of the second Miraculous sheep. This old man's partially closed eyes suddenly open
wide, rays of determination to win exploding out of his eyes. Now he wants to see who else dares to
compete with him.

But he is destined to come up empty. Just when the price gets up to seven million, Ling Xiao makes
his move. And again it's like a cry that shocks everyone, jumping straight to ten million. In light of this
competitive situation, the price is bound to get higher and higher in the end.

This one move instantly makes those few people who wanted to add a hundred or two hundred
thousand spit a mouthful of blood. Including Ding Shi. His whole face seems to turn a grayish green
with raging flames of fury in his eyes, as if he can't wait to burn a hole right through Ling Xiao.

Although You XiaoMo knows that everyone is eyeing Ling Xiao as if wanting him to suffer death
by a thousand cuts, and feeling especially uncomfortable under those glares, he still doesn't want to
let go of this opportunity. He feels that it is best if they win all six hundred pounds of the Miraculous
sheep meat. This way, he won't have to worry about what to do in the future when Xiao Piqiu's rations
run out.

"My friend, sometimes it is better not to reach for a yard after getting an inch."

Ding Shi gnashes his teeth as he speaks to Ling Xiao. If looks could kill, he would have killed this
person a thousand or ten thousand times over a long time ago.

"How is reaching for a yard after getting an inch applicable during a fair competition?"

Ling Xiao laughs in amusement at his words. Ding Shi's anger at his words turns his face one shade
darker.

Ling Xiao's words already makes it clear to them that he won't let go of this Miraculous sheep.
Ding Shi increases his bid one more time after that but is still outbid by Ling Xiao. In the end, the
second Miraculous sheep lands in Ling Xiao's hand with a price of eleven million.

For the last Miraculous sheep, the competition is much fiercer than for the previous two. The
powers that didn't act before all make their move this time. The price jumps higher and higher, right
up to the sky high price of fifteen million.

This price already exceeds what most of the people can bear. Furthermore, the meat of one
Miraculous sheep is not worth that much. The ones bidding until now are not just in it because they
must have it. Some are just hell-bent on saving face, like Ding Shi.

XingLuo group definitely didn't expect this outcome. At that time, they thought that no one would
dare to fight with them, given their reputation. So they only gave Ding Shi the estimated number of
gold coins and nothing more. Fifteen million is precisely the most he can come up with.

Looking at Ding Shi's eyes that are red with fury, a few people stop bidding on their own, to avoid
incurring the wrath of XingLuo group for real.

But there are still a few people excitedly anticipating an increasingly tense atmosphere. So they all
look towards Ling Xiao hoping that he would make another bid. Ding Shi clearly can also sense this,
making his face grow so gloomy that it can almost drip water.

Sorry guys. Real life is not cooperating and it doesn't look like it would improve for a long time :(
Chapter 142

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Attack."Fifteen million ....... one hundred thousand!"

Just at this moment, a timid voice suddenly calls out.

Everyone is shocked to discover that the one that opened his mouth is someone in a black cloak
next to that man. He is so small that they seem to have completely overlooked him. From his voice, he
seems to be a rather young youth. After speaking, this youth seems to be so uncomfortable from the
stares that he rubs himself close to the man beside him.

This person is none other than You XiaoMo.

Actually he doesn't mind letting Ling Xiao do the bidding. But after the previous two times, he is
already completely clear that this fellow is a super spendthrift. In less than an hour, he already spent
over twenty million.

That's why this time he doesn't let him open his mouth, because Ling Xiao always simply shouts out
an amount. Clearly one can just add a little bit more but he insists on going up by one or two million,
vexing him to the point of death. He really won't complain that there is too much gold coins. Really!

So this time he would rather open his own mouth and not allow Ling Xiao to do it.

The minimum increase in bid for the Miraculous sheep meat is one hundred thousand so You
XiaoMo just goes for the minimum amount.

After being thwarted time and again, Ding Shi couldn't suppress it anymore. He even has the
impulse to kill. A terrifying momentum explodes out, like a sudden peal of thunder that leaves one no
time to cover ones ears. The sudden powerful attack streaks towards Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo.

Being able to provoke Ding Shi to the point of losing his reason, actually launching an attack on
guests of the same level as him, Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo, these two people can be said to be quite
capable. At least this is how it seems in the eyes of others.

Ling Xiao had long ago noticed the unstable air around Ding Shi. Seeing him launch a sudden attack
at them, he is not surprised. A sweeping spiritual energy immediately surges fiercely from his body.
Purple flames surge terrifyingly and howls, forming raging waves and mountainous flames. In an
instant, as if being set free, they boom forward attacking the oncoming assault.

The two forces crash into each other, exploding with terrifying force. Much like ripples spreading
out on the surface of a lake, ripples of energy spread out from the point the impact .......

But the matter doesn't end just like that. That fiercely surging purple flame that came from Ling
Xiao's body doesn't dissipate just like that. Instead it just seems to pause momentarily in midair
before shooting violently towards the wide-eyed Ding Shi.

"Stop!"

A deep voice suddenly shouts out in the main hall. A figure appears suddenly next to Ding Shi.
Looking at the fiercely approaching purple flames, his expression changes drastically. He quickly
grabs Ding Shi by the shoulder and moves aside.

That streak of purple flames loses its target and strikes Ding Shi's chair. The solid white sandstone
chair immediately dissolves from the purple flames .......

Looking at this scene, many of the people gasp in shock. If this attack were to hit someone, it would
be certain death. But even more of the people reacted like the person who saved Ding Shi, showing a
drastic change in their expression. Someone even cried out in shock.

"Imperial, imperial level?"

This exclamation is like a stone that brings about a wave of a thousand stories high. The whole
main hall is filled with countless gasps.

If it was a Spiritual level fighter, they would already be fearful. They never expected that this
person would actually be an Imperial level fighter. As everyone knows, the Southern region of Long
Xiao continent only has three Imperial level fighters. They are TianXin sect's Tang Fan, QingCheng
sect's Luo ChengYuan, and XingLuo group's ShenTu Dao.

But each one of them are feared leaders. The reputation of their three forces is not something to be
laughed at. The reason why these forces can stand like a tripod of great strengths is because they have
an Imperial level fighter.

No one expected that an Imperial level fighter would actually appear today in this trifling Pavilion
of ten thousand treasures. Does this mean that there would a change of winds in the Southern region of
Long Xiao continent?

Ever since Ling Xiao's explosive attack, Ding Shi's face can no longer be described as deathly
pale. It is even paler than that.

The pressure that he felt from the purple flame dragon is the same as the pressure he feels from his
group leader, shaking him to the core in an instant. That's why he couldn't move when the purple flame
dragon started to move towards him again. Later, when he heard that cry of astonishment, Ding Shi's
face crumbles leaving only these words in his heart 'I'm done for'.

If the group leader finds out that he offended an Imperial level fighter, he wouldn't be able to make
up for it even if he dies a thousand times over.

"My friend, please do not be angry. It's better to talk it over. Humble me will definitely give
you an explanation."

That man that saved Ding Shi recovers very quickly. The shock on his face already disappeared,
replaced with a rather dignified demeanor that doesn't in any way diminish his smart and good looks.
This is undoubtedly an impressive man. He cups his hands respectfully as he speaks to Ling Xiao.

Looking at this person, Ling Xiao suddenly smiles jokingly, "I'll trust you this time."

At this time, the crowd recovers, finally noticing the man. Looking at his face, someone cries out,
"Luo ShuHe?"

Everyone else also start to react. Luo ShuHe is the person who achieved great fame during the
campaign against the demons not long ago. Someone who is as famous as the younger generation
disciple of TianXin sect, Lin Xiao.

But what is most shocking is that Luo ShuHe actually came out from behind the auction platform.
Clearly the rumors that the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures is supported by QingCheng sect is true.
Also, there is a ninety five percent probability that the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures belongs to
QingCheng sect.

Although it couldn't be confirmed before, the appearance of Luo ShuHe makes it ninety percent
certain. Some people even firmly believe that the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures belongs to
QingCheng sect. Probably, it won't take too long before this information is spread throughout the
Southern region.

Luo ShuHe is surprised at how straightforward Ling Xiao is. But he still heaves a sigh of relief.

Because the stronger the fighter, the more unpredictable they are. As it is, Ding Shi made the first
move, so even if Ling Xiao kills him or wounds him severely, this would still not be his fault. Even if
XingLuo group finds out, they probably won't offend an Imperial level fighter for the sake of a
Celestial level Elder.

But this is not the reason why he heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, he already realized it when Ding
Shi had the intent to kill. He deliberately didn't put a stop to it immediately.

After all, Ding Shi is an Elder of XingLuo group. It's just that he never expected that the other party
would actually be an Imperial level fighter. Fighters of this strength can only be treated nicely, not to
be offended.

Thinking like this, Luo ShuHe looks at Ding Shi and says gravely, "Elder Ding. You can be
considered a regular of the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures so you must know the rules.
Seeing that you were the first to break the rules, humble me can only ask you to leave. Please
leave ba!"

Hearing these words, Ding Shi's face turns from green to white.
After this incident, XingLuo group will probably find it very hard to hold their heads up high in
Qing city, and even the whole Southern region. Such a grand first class force actually got chased out
from an auction hall. Simply too funny!

If Ling Xiao was only a Celestial level or Spiritual level fighter, Ding Shi wouldn't have to fear
him. Unfortunately this incident today will probably come back to bite him. He clearly kicked a steel
plate that should not be offended. Ding Shi regrets it ten thousand times over but he still doesn't dare
to act rashly so he can only leave in disgrace.

After Ding Shi leaves, Luo ShuHe announces the continuation of the auction.

Ling Xiao already won three Miraculous sheep. He is not interested in the remaining items up for
auction so he leads the rather dazed You XiaoMo out of the main hall.

The moment they leave, the atmosphere in the main hall immediately becomes agitated. Not many
people have the mood to fight over the remaining items. Most of them are discussing what just
happened while some people actually just got up and left. They want to tell others about this news. An
Imperial level fighter has come into the world. This information is equivalent to a level twelve
earthquake.

"Elder brother Ling, where are we going now?"

You XiaoMo finally recovers after some difficulty. Ding Shi's sudden attack made him jump in
fright. He thought that auction halls are places where disputes involve words not deeds. Today, if Ling
Xiao was not by his side, he would probably be dead. But after thinking it over, he doesn't feel that
fearful. After all, he has already gone through quite a few deadly incidents so he has ample
experience.

"Go to get the Miraculous sheep meat."

Ling Xiao turns around and helps him the adjust the cloak on his body.

The two of them walk through the rear door of the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures. Luo ShuHe
was already waiting for them.

You XiaoMo doesn't know much about this Luo ShuHe. But from his performance in the auction
hall, Luo ShuHe is undoubtedly a smart person. He avoided making enemies out of XingLuo group
and at the same time managed to flatter an Imperial level fighter. No wonder he is regarded as a talent
that is on par with Lin Xiao.

Seeing them come over, Luo ShuHe smiles politely while saying, "My two friends are here so
quickly. Here are six hundred pounds of Miraculous sheep meat. Please have a look."

You XiaoMo is a little surprised. Luo ShuHe isn't overly polite with them. Furthermore, he looks
every bit the noble gentleman, without seeming fake. Completely different from Ling Xiao, this 'fake
gentleman'. Thinking like this, he purposely steals a glance at Ling Xiao before withdrawing his gaze
when the latter doesn't notice.

Receiving the magic bag that he hands over, there is indeed that quantity inside. The capacity of the
magic bag is not big. Six hundred pounds almost takes up all the space but the quality of the meat is
very fresh, as if it has just been carved from the body of the Miraculous sheep not too long ago.

You XiaoMo ties the magic bag at his waist and takes out the gold coins that Ling Xiao gave him,
along with his own gold coins. Using his soul force, he easily counts out thirty five million and one
hundred thousand gold coins, and puts them into his own magic bag before handing it over to Luo
ShuHe.

Luo ShuHe doesn't count them in front of them. This can be considered as a form of trust but it is
more of trying to win them over.

After that, both sides engage in polite conversation but it's actually just a few words before Ling
Xiao takes You XiaoMo away with him.

Right after they leave, a person walks in from outside at a steady pace. Seeing Luo ShuHe, his
furrowed brows finally relax a little as he calls out, "ShuHe, that strong man already left?"

Luo ShuHe nods at him, "Yes, father!"

This person is actually Luo ChengYuan, Luo ShuHe's father. When he received his son's message,
he immediately rushed over but he is still one step behind. However, it's not that big of a loss.

"Do you know where they came from?"

Luo ChengYuan walks over and sits down on a chair, speaking with a serious expression.

"They were very careful."

Luo ShuHe shakes his head.

Hearing this, a look of uncertainty flashes across Luo ChengYuan's face. He can only say,
"Hopefully they have no connection with TianXin sect."

His greatest fear is that that person will get involved. After all, he stole TianXin sect's level nine
magic pill formula not long ago. Although there is no movement from TianXin sect on the surface, he
knows that TianXin sect already guessed that he did it. It's just that they don't have proof. That's why
everything can be so calm right now.

Luo ShuHe walks to his side and lightly strokes his back while saying in a gentle voice, "Father,
how is your injury? Is it still a great hindrance?"

"It's already fifty to sixty percent better. You don't have to be worried for father." says Luo
ChengYuan.
Right at this moment, the appearance of an Imperial level fighter spreads throughout the Southern
region of Long Xiao continent like a level twelve tornado. Many forces receive this information one
after another, such as TianXin sect, XingLuo group, XiaoYao tower, and so on. But the one most
strongly affected is XingLuo group. Who asked them to have an Elder that just offended this strong
fighter? Quite a few people are delighting in their misfortune.

Going back to Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo, they are tailed the moment they leave the Pavilion of
ten thousand treasures. The ones following them are mostly from the time they left the Pavilion of ten
thousand treasures. But Ling Xiao doesn't bother with them. He also doesn't immediately shake them
off because he is not in a hurry.

You XiaoMo has no idea that they are being tailed. Seeing that they still have time, he pulls Ling
Xiao along, strolling the streets of Qing city.

Qing city is not quite the same as HunJi city. The facades of all the shops appear very luxurious.
Clearly they are all owned by rich people. After strolling through a few shops, You XiaoMo is no
longer interested. Not because he can't find what he wants but because the magic herbs and the magic
pills inside are more expensive than in HunJi city. But there is one thing that is the same. High level
magic herbs are not common. There also doesn't seem to be any magic herb seeds. It only goes to
show how rare high level magic herbs are.

Not finding what he is looking for, You XiaoMo doesn't want to spend the night in Qing city, so he
leaves together with Ling Xiao.

The moment they leave Qing city, all the spies from the various forces immediately follow them.
As a result, just as they step out of Qing city, they lose all signs of those two people .......

Chapter 143

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Twelve magic beasts.Ten thousand miles away from Qing city is a four sided town.

SiFang town is famous for squarish things and sculptures. It's a very strange town. But the
evaluation stones from there are very famous because the best sculptors in Long Xiao continent are
from there. Many famous sculptors come from SiFang town.

Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo's second destination for this trip is SiFang town.

In order to shake off the people tailing them, Ling Xiao just hugged You XiaoMo and brought them
both into his dimension when they came out of Qing city.

His dimension is not like You XiaoMo's dimension. You XiaoMo's dimension cannot be moved. Of
course, this is also related to the fact that he doesn't have complete control over it yet. Also, Ling
Xiao's dimension was formed from a spatial rift. Dimensions formed from spatial rifts can be moved
by intention. However, the distance it can be moved depends on the level of the person.

So, usually it would take half a day to get from Qing city to SiFang town by horse carriage. Even
the winged bird would take an hour. However, going through Ling Xiao's dimension, it doesn't even
take a few seconds. By the time they walk out of the dimension, they are already outside SiFang town.

SiFang town is really like its name. One can even make out the square shape of the town from
outside.

You XiaoMo raises his head and looks at the main gate of the small town. It's a square. The length,
width and height is basically the same. Even the inscribed board on top is square. Very unique and
eye-catching.

But You XiaoMo is very unwilling because he was forced by Ling Xiao to come here. Ling Xiao
simply didn't forget his intention to let him buy an evaluation stone.

Before, when they were in Qing city, You XiaoMo saw that Ling Xiao didn't bring up the matter
about buying an evaluation stone so he thought he had forgotten about it, so he also didn't bring it up.
Turns out not only did Ling Xiao not forget about it, he even planned it out beforehand.

At one side, Ling Xiao sees that his mouth is forming such an exaggerated pout that one would soon
be able to hang several pounds of pork on it. So he just hugs him by the waist and walks into SiFang
town while beaming, "Little brother. I know you are now very anxious. But it doesn't matter. Very
soon you will know what the color of your soul is."

You XiaoMo almost spits out blood. So he still thinks that he is unhappy because he is anxious
about evaluating his innate talent? He is sure that this fellow is doing it on purpose!
"Elder brother, why must we come to SiFang town? Why didn't we just buy it in town just
now?"

You XiaoMo changes the subject. He doesn't want to continue with what they were just talking
about because he would definitely get angered to death.

"Inconvenient ah."

Ling Xiao beams as he speaks.

"Why was it inconvenient?"

You XiaoMo asks. He has no idea that they were trailed by a lot of people the moment they left
Qing city.

There is nothing to hide about to this matter. While Ling Xiao tells him about it, he also uses the
opportunity to give some general knowledge. Things like the treachery of men, disputes between
forces. He explains his analysis on the whole situation in the Southern region of Long Xiao continent
clearly to You XiaoMo, not shying away from shady matters.

Ling Xiao is not afraid that You XiaoMo would learn to become bad. In his eyes, it would be even
better if he becomes bad. He is still worried that he is not bad enough and would get deceived
instead. So, this matter, he has to make it clear.

By the time he finishes speaking, You XiaoMo is already wiping away many handfuls of cold sweat
wordlessly. The way of the world in this world is really very complicated. Looks like he has to
continuously increase his strength, and also the strength of Xiao Piqiu.

But after listening to Ling Xiao, he can't deny that Ling Xiao was right to have doubts.

They should be a little more careful with everything. If by any chance someone finds out that his
soul is not the same as before, it would definitely bring them a lot of trouble.

Walking into SiFang town, the buildings on both sides of the street are also squarish. But they are
very simple and crude. No matter if it is the clothes of the people or their houses, they can't be
compared to the luxury of Qing city. However, it gives You XiaoMo a comfortable feeling.

SiFang town is not big. It only has one street. Walking from the start to the end of the street is
already the whole SiFang town.

Because SiFang town is famous for sculptures, both sides of the street are lined with shops selling
sculptures. There are stone sculptures, wood sculptures, and also jade sculptures .......

You XiaoMo simply choses one of the small shops. Just as he walks in, a small black head
suddenly pops out from behind the counter. It's a seven to eight year old boy. Seeing that there is a
customer, the small boy's eyes light up instantly. His cute face is filled with happiness as he quickly
runs out from behind the counter, rubbing his palms on his clothes.
"Brother, what kind of sculpture do you want to buy? My shop has everything oh. Look at
these. They are all carved by my mom. My mom's workmanship is very awesome. Do you want to
buy one? One is not expensive oh. One gold coin is enough."

The little boy's words seems to a product of constant rehearsal. A long string of words and he
actually didn't stop to take a breath. His face is still bright red, as if he is really happy. But his tone is
still clearly a little cautious.

You XiaoMo glances at the simple and crude shop and the clothes on the little boy. The clothes
have turned white from washing and even show signs of repeated patching in a few areas.
Immediately, he understands. Their shop probably doesn't have much business usually. No wonder the
little boy was so happy to see them come in.

But looking at the sculptures displayed on the cabinets, the small boy is not lying. Each sculpture,
no matter what it is made of, is very exquisite. One can tell that the sculptor is very attentive and
exacting.

You XiaoMo suddenly feels a little moved. Maybe he can buy back a few to put in his room or in
the dimension. He can also give them to Xiao Piqiu as toys in order to stop him from playing with
things that cannot be played with.

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo simply walks over to choose something.

The first cabinet is displaying jade carvings. There are many grades of jade. There is white sand
jade, purple ice jade, blue jadeite and so on. The multitude of colors is extremely beautiful. One can
even feel the faint flow of spiritual energy inside upon touching.

Such a beautiful piece of jade carving with spiritual energy is really just one gold coin each?

You XiaoMo feels that this price is clearly too low. Such a fine piece of jade carving. After
deducting the cost of materials, the profit would probably be so little that it would be negligible.

While thinking like this, You XiaoMo's line of sight suddenly comes across the jade carvings on the
topmost shelf. Twelve jade carvings altogether. He suddenly feels more and more excited with each
look. He feels that he must be seeing things. That is clearly the twelve zodiac animals. Also, each
animal is different in color, making them look especially beautiful.

Ling Xiao realizes that he is excited so he follows his line of sight, landing on the twelve animals.
Ice cold jade yet they are carved to appear so lifelike, as if they are on the verge of coming to life.

The little boy was secretly monitoring You XiaoMo. Seeing that he seems to have taken a fancy to
the twelve magic beasts that his mother put on top of the cabinet, his fingers start to twist tightly. After
thinking it over with gritted teeth, he raises his head. His eyes seem to show that he has made some
kind of decision. He looks tentatively at You XiaoMo.

"Brother, if you like these carvings, I can sell it to you cheap. Each one is not too expensive. I
can sell it to you for three gold coins each. Really not expensive. How about it?"

The little boy seems to be worried that this price would scare them off, emphasizing that it is not
expensive twice. Actually, it is really not expensive because one can tell from just one look that these
carvings cannot be compared to the others. The jade used for these twelve carvings is probably the
best jade in their shop.

"Bring them down for me to take a look."

You XiaoMo says quickly. Three gold coins each is really too cheap.

Hearing these words, the little boy immediately shows a happy face. He quickly takes out a chair
from behind the counter. Because he is too short, he must stand on the chair in order to reach it. Even
then, he is barely tall enough.

Only then does You XiaoMo come to his senses. Worried that he would fall down, he quickly
walks over, saying, "Little brother. Come down. I'll take them down myself."

The little boy is stunned then immediately shakes his head, "No, this is part of my job. Brother is
a customer. How can I trouble you? I can do it!"

He is afraid that this brother would refuse to buy because he didn't serve him properly.

You XiaoMo doesn't know what he is thinking so he ponders over his words.

Right at this moment, a hand suddenly stretches out from behind them. While they remain stunned,
that hand already took down the twelve jade carvings.

You XiaoMo and the little boy turn around in unison to see Ling Xiao take the last jade carving. He
narrows his eyes as he looks at it, completely ignoring their stunned expressions.

"These jade sculptures were carved by your mom?"

Ling Xiao asks suddenly as he glances at the little boy.

The little boy is stunned for moment before realizing that he was talking to him. He quickly shakes
his head, "No. My mom said that they were passed down from our grandfather."

"Carved pretty well."

Ling Xiao praises.

You XiaoMo walks up to him and looks at the twelve animals on the table. His mouth twitches.
Fine ba. He is really seeing things. These are simply not the twelve zodiac animals. At a glance they
look similar but actually, they are twelve magic beasts. They only look a little similar, that's all. Some
of them look ferocious but they are not the least bit hard to look at.
The little boy hears his praise and two rosy spots of excitement immediately bloom on his cheeks,
"Brother has decided to buy it?"

"Of course I'll buy. I'll buy all twelve of them. But ....... "

You XiaoMo still feels like they seem to be one set so he simply buys all of them.

The little boy hears the words he wants to hear but then he hears the last word. Immediately he
panics, still thinking that he is complaining that it is too expensive. Gritting his teeth, he decides to
lower the price again by a little when he hears him speaking as if to himself.

"Three gold coins each is not too cheap? Little brat. Are you purposely giving me this low
price? Let me tell you. I, You XiaoMo is not someone that likes to take advantage of people. So
sell them to me at the original price ba. One look and it's obvious that these jade carvings are
good quality goods."

These words are really too fake!

Looking at his awe-inspiring upright manner, appearing to say I'm a good person, Ling Xiao
suddenly remembers the manager of the Seven Star hotel that he swindled before. At that time, a
certain person's actions seems to be from a whole different person than how he is acting now.

Ling Xiao remembers that You XiaoMo uttered something before, seems to be ------- only an idiot
wouldn't take advantage when given the chance.

The little boy clearly didn't expect him to say these words, standing stunned on the spot right until
You XiaoMo waves his hand in front of his face a few times. Only then, does he abruptly come back
to his senses, blushing bright red and stuttering, "Brother ....... do you really mean it?"

"Of course!"

You XiaoMo nods firmly. He can guess that his little boy must be having a difficult time. That's
why he reduced the price for him. Most probably it has something to do with his mom, since his mom
actually let this small child take care of the shop. Most probably, something must have happened so
they are in need of money.

In the end, the boy blurts out a price.

Because it has been passed down from previous generations, the jade used is not ordinary jade. But
the little boy's family also doesn't seem to know what kind of jade so they can only price it at thirty
gold coins each.

Hearing this price, You XiaoMo is silent for quite a while. Looks like this little boy is crazy short
of money so he dropped the price from thirty pieces straight down to three.

But even if it is three gold coins, for their family, it can also be considered a significant sum.
You XiaoMo straightaway gives the little boy three hundred and sixty gold coins.

To him, this few hundred gold coins is still not enough for him to buy a few magic herb seeds. But
to the little boy, these gold coins are enough for their whole family to last quite a while. Even if they
don't open shop, they wouldn't starve to death.

After the little boy takes the gold coins, his eyes get red with excitement. He abruptly turns around
and runs to the back of the shop. You XiaoMo is not fast enough to stop him. He still hasn't bought the
evaluation stone ne.

Right at that moment, several calls can be heard coming from the direction the little boy ran
towards, followed by spates of coughing. Just as You XiaoMo guessed, the little boy's mother is sick.

After a while, the little boy supports a beautiful young woman and walks out from the rear
courtyard. The woman's face is deathly pale without any sign of color, but her former beauty can still
be seen. Most probably she has been tormented terribly by her serious illness leaving her looking like
all skin and bones.

Note:SiFang - square

Chapter 144

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Evaluation stone.Maybe she already heard about the matter from the small boy, so the woman with
tears dancing in her eyes thanks You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao over and over again, her body swaying
on the point of falling. Each sentence is followed by several coughs.

Even though she is unwilling to sell off the twelve heirloom jade carvings, it is for the sake of
survival so the woman has no other option.

Although SiFang town is small, the competition is still very intense. She can go for a few days
without eating or drinking but she can't let her son suffer with her. That's why she is willing to sell off
the twelve jade carvings.

Who knew, because the price of the jade is too high, and because the people that usually come to
SiFang town are not especially rich, so the jade carvings since they were brought out a month ago, not
even one was sold. Now, when the mother and son are on the point of dying from illness and
starvation, someone finally comes to buy their jade sculptures. Furthermore, it's all twelve at once.
The mother and son have never seen so much money in this lifetime. It would be a lie to say they are
not moved. The woman has long ago started to drop tears like rain.

After an arduous wait for the woman to finish crying, You XiaoMo is finally able to ask about the
Evaluation stone.

After hearing that the customers want to buy an evaluation stone, the woman wipes her tears with a
handkerchief, raises her head, and asks in surprise, "Two young brothers want to buy an evaluation
stone?"

Her gaze sweeps over You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao, finally falling on You XiaoMo, "You are a
mage?"

You XiaoMo pouts. So it's that obvious? Fine ba. Compared to martial artists, he is indeed more
like a weak mage. But the woman's insight is very sharp. After all, she is so sick to such an extent.

After getting an affirmative answer, the woman immediately leads them into the rear courtyard.

Evaluation stones are not usually displayed inside the shop. Not because it should not be seen by
others, but because each evaluation stone is as tall as one and a half meters, and weighing about two
hundred pounds. Very heavy. Usually, it can only be moved by adult males.

You XiaoMo follows the women into the rear courtyard. He sees a milky white crystal in the
courtyard. This is most probably the evaluation stone. There seems to be only one such thing in the
whole courtyard.
Most mages take the test on the spot unless they are from major sects. Because there are many
people, major sects would buy the evaluation stone back. For a solitary mage like You XiaoMo, no
one would be dumb enough to purposely buy an evaluation stone. But he is different because he
already underwent the evaluation once, so he can't take it again in front of everyone.

The woman also doesn't ask him why he doesn't do the evaluation right away. She wanted to give
the evaluation stone to You XiaoMo but You XiaoMo insists on buying it or he would go somewhere
else to buy one. The woman can't change his mind so she can only give him a rather low price, selling
it to him for fifty gold coins.

The shops in Qing city were selling evaluation stones at one hundred gold coins each. Also, they
were a little smaller than the one here. The woman's selling price of fifty gold coins is indeed quite a
lot cheaper.

This time, You XiaoMo doesn't refuse anymore. He gives them another fifty gold coins and then
leaves SiFang town with Ling Xiao.

What the two of them don't know is that five days later, some people came around asking in SiFang
town. Those people by chance came inside the woman's shop to ask. But the woman is also not
someone who doesn't know anything. Seeing that those people appear to have come with ill intent, she
simply pretends not to know anything. After waiting for them to leave, the woman tells her son not to
say anything about them.

But these are all after the fact. At this time, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao have left SiFang town.
When they reach a place with no one around, he enters his dimension with Ling Xiao. He puts the
evaluation stone straight into the dimension.

The evaluation stone is placed in the courtyard of the small wooden hut. You XiaoMo stands in
front of it and steals a glance at Ling Xiao. After some hesitation, he asks, "So ....... Elder brother,
do I really have to do the test?"

Ling Xiao gives him a sweet smile and asks him in reply, "What say you ne?"

I say ....... it's already bought. To not do the test is equivalent to throwing away fifty gold coins for
nothing. This type of wasteful behavior to You XiaoMo, is definitely an incomparably shameful act.
So in despair, he can't help but agree with Ling Xiao.

"Then, what am I supposed to do next?"

You XiaoMo swallows a few times, suddenly feeling embarrassed.

He hasn't seen other people do the test before so he doesn't know the specific steps. But ....... he
regrets right after asking because the previous 'him' already took the test so this careless slip exposed
himself.

Ling Xiao looks at his miserable expression. His lips curve up playfully as he speaks with beaming
eyes, "Put your hand on it and then transmit your soul force into the evaluation stone. That will
do."

You XiaoMo's hand shakes as he places it on the evaluation stone. A burst of ice cold sensation is
felt coming from the evaluation stone. He shivers involuntarily before doing as Ling Xiao told him to,
stimulating a thread of his soul force and transmitting it into the evaluation stone.

In just an instant, the milky white evaluation stone suddenly emits an intense burst of bright light
.......

You XiaoMo's eyes are blinded so he immediately closes his eyes, only opening them again when
the rays start to weaken. When he looks at the twinkling lights on top of the evaluation stone, his eyes
can't help opening wider. What is the meaning of this?

An ethereal glow is shining on top of the evaluation stone. He has never seen this color before. It's
not pink. Also not yellow. Neither is it green. It's definitely not blue. It can only be described as a
very ethereal color.

You XiaoMo doesn't know how to define the caliber of his own soul. The soul of the original You
XiaoMo was green, below average innate talent. So what is his?

"Elder brother Ling, what color should this be?"

You XiaoMo can't figure it out so he can only look questioningly at Ling Xiao. But when he looks at
Ling Xiao, the latter's usual smiling expression had disappeared leaving him looking completely
expressionless. He can't help getting a prickling sensation in his heart. It can't be that there is
something wrong ba?

Seeing that he doesn't answer, You XiaoMo calls out to him gingerly. He then waves his hand in
front of his face, "Elder brother Ling, what's the matter la?"

Ling Xiao recovers extremely naturally, folding his hands across his chest. He glances at him with
an unreadable expression, "Do you know that other than low, medium, and high, there is still
another level of mages?"

You XiaoMo silently sticks up his middle finger in his heart. At any rate, he is a level three mage.
If he doesn't even know this, he would have lived this half a year in vain.

"Other than low, medium and high, there is one more class of super high level mages, the
transcendent level mage. But this type of mage seems to have not appeared before. I hear that
the very awesome mage called QiuRan also cannot be considered a transcendent level mage."

As for this QiuRan. You XiaoMo has only heard of how totally awesome he is. But he completely
doesn't know that the Heavenly Soul Scroll that he is currently practicing actually belongs to him. But,
no matter how totally awesome he is, he still can't touch the threshold of a transcendent level mage.
"Then which level do you think you belong to?"

Ling Xiao asks in high spirits.

You XiaoMo's mouth twitches furiously. If I knew, why would I need to ask you? But he still
answers, "If I were to guess ba. The color on top of the evaluation stone does not match low,
medium or high level."

He is not so narcissistic that he would think that he is a transcendent level mage.

Ling Xiao's eyes flashes as he speaks in a rather agitated voice, "If I were to tell you that you
have the innate talent to become a transcendent level mage, would you believe it?"

You XiaoMo doesn't even have to think before shaking his head, "I don't believe it!"

He then gives him a scornful glance but after pondering for a bit, he starts to be unable to hide his
excitement, saying eagerly, "If you say I have the innate talent to become a high level mage, then
I can barely believe you ....... ah, it hurts!"

The answer Ling Xiao gives him is rapping him once on the forehead. Then, as if feeling that it
wasn't hard enough, he raps him once again before he is able to cover his forehead. After rapping
him, he asks cheerfully, "Now is it still barely?"

You XiaoMo holds his forehead, shaking his head as tears dance in his eyes, sobbing pitifully,
"Not barely, no longer the least bit forced, *wuwu* ....... "

This fellow's actions are getting more and more ruthless. He feels that his low IQ must be Ling
Xiao's fault.

Ling Xiao snorts lightly twice before pulling him up to himself. He takes his hand and gently rubs
his forehead while saying, "The evaluation stones here are rather low grade. It is unable to
accurately determine the level of your soul. But I can solemnly tell you that your soul is
multicolored."

The person in front suddenly turns completely silent.

Ling Xiao waits and still doesn't get any reaction so he looks down to see our friend You XiaoMo
with his mouth hanging open, looking stunned and silly. He can't help but stretch out his hand and
pinch his cheeks a few times.

You XiaoMo suddenly cries out and regains his senses with some difficulty. He discovers that half
his face is being pinched in someone's hands, yet he already doesn't have the power to bother about
these things. He quickly grabs Ling Xiao's hand and with sparkling eyes speaks excitedly while
stuttering, "Elder brother Ling, is what you said true? My soul is is is ....... multicolored?"

Ling Xiao laughs in amusement while answering, "You think that I always have to lie to you?"
You XiaoMo immediately nods, "Yes!"

*Dong* rings out as Ling Xiao's hand raps on his melon seed head again. With a threatening look
and narrowed eyes, he says, "Say it again!"

You XiaoMo grins foolishly without saying anything. This uncle is at the height of happiness so I
won't argue with you!

After a while, he suddenly comes back to his senses, "Elder brother Ling, what did you just say?
What do you mean 'The evaluation stones here are rather low grade. It is unable to accurately
determine the level of your soul.' Didn't we already determine it?"

Chapter 145

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

The one he's looking for.It's rare that he can actually make out that this point surprised Ling Xiao.

But Ling Xiao doesn't give a direct answer. Instead he says meaningfully, "Do you know why
souls of transcendent level mages are described as multicolored?"

You XiaoMo ponders for a bit, "Can it be that the souls of transcendent level mages are made
up of seven colors?"

But that's not right ah. He just saw the colors that appeared on top of the evaluation stone. Clearly it
wasn't seven colors. Although the colors were a little strange, such that he is unable to describe it, but
it still should not be seven colors. He is not color blind such that he can't make that out.

"You only got it half right."

Ling Xiao stretches out his hand and strokes the evaluation stone while speaking with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

You XiaoMo asks curiously.

"The souls of transcendent level mages are indeed multicolored. But multicolored souls are
also divided into different levels. The people of Long Xiao continent only know that the souls of
transcendent level mages have seven colors, but they don't know that the seven colors also have
high and low grades. But the level of Long Xiao continent is rather low, so it is not surprising
that they don't know." Ling Xiao explains.

You XiaoMo is suddenly confused. It's really getting more and more complex, leaving him
incapable of understanding.

Ling Xiao can almost see spirals like mosquito coils appearing inside his eyes so he rubs his head
while saying dotingly, "It's alright if you don't understand. Right now, you still haven't come in
contact with higher planes but you will have the opportunity in the future."

You XiaoMo looks at the slight smile on his face. He feels that the Ling Xiao now is almost not the
same as the usual Ling Xiao. Suddenly, with a stroke of genius, he can't help guessing, "Elder
brother Ling, the even higher plane that you speak of, is it the place you lived before?"

Ever since he sort of figured out Ling Xiao's strength, he feels that Ling Xiao doesn't seem to be
from Long Xiao continent because his power is high, and there are times when his understanding of
martial artists and mages are not quite the same, different from what he sees in books. Therefore,
hearing his words, he feels that the "even higher plane" he speaks of, is someplace he has been
before.

Ling Xiao smirks, making out the concern and cautiousness in the tone of his words. A smile
escapes from his lips, "Of course, it can't be that you think Long Xiao continent, this tiny place,
can actually produce someone as awesome as me?"

Narcissistic, absolutely narcissistic!

You XiaoMo can't stop himself from rolling his eyes. Such a good atmosphere was ruined by him
again.

"Elder brother Ling, since it's like this, why did you leave that place to come to Long Xiao
continent, this tiny place?"

You XiaoMo suddenly blinks at him mischievously, fluttering his eyelashes, seeming somewhat like
a crafty little fox.

Hearing this jab, the smile on Ling Xiao's handsome face gets even brighter. Looking at the smile
on his face, he suddenly feels his hands start to itch. He stretches his hand out wanting to give him a
flick on his forehead but You XiaoMo already sensed it, covering his head one step before him.

After taking the necessary precautions, You XiaoMo sticks his tongue out at him, you can't flick me,
you can't flick me.

Ling Xiao laughs and simply pulls him into his arms. Then he goes all out and ravages his head.
Rookie, don't think that I can't punish you just because you're on guard. You still have much to learn
ne.

You XiaoMo's cheeks are puffed up in anger as he glares at him, sporting a chicken coop hairstyle,
absolutely adorable and comical.

Ling Xiao who does not feel the least bit guilty unties the red string that is holding his hair together
and then starts to straighten out his hair again. Ten fingers running through the soft and silky hair,
making him feel extremely content such that he can't help letting out a sigh while continuing with the
topic.

"Me? Of course there is a reason why I'm here." Ling Xiao says.

"What is it?"

You XiaoMo blurts out, only realizing after the fact that this question is somewhat infringing on his
privacy.

Ever since Ling Xiao replaced Lin Xiao as the Master disciple of the warrior division of TianXin
sect, this question has always been hidden in You XiaoMo's heart. Especially after he found out that
he is such a powerful person. He is even more curious as to what it is that drew him to TianXin sect.
Today, he finally pops the question.

But -------

This is definitely not intentional. Who asked Ling Xiao to say those words that made it so natural
for him to ask. Anyone who heard those words would also blurt out 'what is it' so you can't blame
him.

After saying this, You XiaoMo lowers his head, not daring to look at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao doesn't seem to sense his embarrassment. Raising his head, the look in his eyes deepens
much deeper than it ever had before. A long time later, he says in a deep and quiet voice, "I'm
looking for someone."

Hearing these words, You XiaoMo can't stop himself from raising his head and looking at him, just
in time to see the unconcealed turbulence in his eyes. As if this person is the enemy that killed his
father. A moment later, he can't stop himself from asking, "The enemy that killed your father?"

He can't hold back the excitement in his voice. He is already making up a tragic life story in his
mind.

He feels that the reason why Ling Xiao ran over to Long Xiao continent is because he is chasing
after the enemy that killed his father. But that enemy that killed his father is just as powerful as him so
Ling Xiao has no way of finding him immediately. That's why he is staying in Long Xiao continent,
waiting until the day when he finally finds the enemy that killed his father. Then he would take his
revenge, and then leave this place .......

The result is right after he says those words, *dong* rings out on his head. Our friend You XiaoMo
finally reached a record today, getting hit on his head by Ling Xiao four times in a day.

So, a certain hapless brat leans on Ling Xiao's chest, two streams of tears almost bursting out of his
eyes. Why does he have to use so much force every time? His head is not made out of steel. Can't he
be a little gentler?

The instigator gently rubs the spot on the head that he just hit, saying in a soft and gentle voice,
"What crazy thoughts are you having ne? Aren't you just looking to get hit!"

What enemy that killed my father? How did this melon seed head come about?

You XiaoMo tears up as he curses in his heart ------- You #$@%&!

Returning to the topic, You XiaoMo persists in asking, "Since it's not that, then who are you
looking for? What has that person got to do with you entering TianXin sect?"

"Of course there is a connection."

Ling Xiao nods in answer, not keeping him in suspense.


"Then what is the reason?" You XiaoMo continues asking.

"Because ....... there are many people in TianXin sect ah!" Ling Xiao beams while speaking.

" ....... " You XiaoMo is speechless.

What kind of answer is this? It can't be that you can find the person you are looking for just because
there are a lot of people? Then why don't you go to Qing city or HunJi city where there are even more
people? A hundred thousand questions float through You XiaoMo's mind along with a hundred
thousand curses.

His nosy self can't be stopped ah! You XiaoMo thinks that since he already brought it up, he should
pry to the end. Otherwise, it would eat at him until his curious heart explodes.

So, he asks anxiously, "What kind of person are you actually looking for? What has it got to do
with TianXin sect having many people?"

Ling Xiao glances at him ambiguously.

You XiaoMo gets the message and finally realizes that he was too hasty. He rubs his nose guiltily.
Then he silently covers his head. The question is already out there. Quickly answer it ba. At the
worst, cough cough, even if he is hit on the head again, if that is exchanged for Ling Xiao's secret, our
friend You XiaoMo feels that it is absolutely worth it.

Ling Xiao figured out his character a long time ago. Simply speaking, it's softhearted but fearful.
Just like at SiFang town. What not taking petty advantages? Clearly it was because he empathized
with that mother and son pair so he willingly bought it at the original price. It's too bad that he can
only deal with these types of people. With those that a little stronger, he is no longer able to hold his
own. But ....... luckily the first one he came across is himself.

"Me? I'm looking for a mage. TianXin sect is a major sect, with countless mages. And they
have connections so it's easy for me to search. As for why I'm looking for this person, I can't
tell you for now because the time is not right. When the time is right, I will tell you myself."
Ling Xiao says.

You XiaoMo finally understands why Ling Xiao wants to enter TianXin sect. Looks like this is the
reason. Pitiful Lin Xiao. You XiaoMo can't help offering a handful of tears of sympathy for him. What
kind of bad luck did you have to meet with Ling Xiao?

"The person you're looking for is a high level mage? Have you found him?" You XiaoMo
asks.

"Not a high level mage but I've already found him."

There is an enigmatic smile in Ling Xiao's eyes as he beams while looking at him.
"Who is it?" You XiaoMo's eyes are sparkling.

Although he is somewhat surprised that it is not a high level mage, the last part of his words stokes
his nosy self, fanning the flames of his nosiness. He has already found him. How unexpected. Then
since he already found him, why is still staying in TianXin sect?

Accompanying this thought is a flash of disappointment but before he could take a closer look, it
already disappears.

"That person ah ....... "

Ling Xiao pauses, deliberately keeping him in suspense. Only after he is hanging at the highest
point does he get close to him while saying, "He is actually a puny mage who is so stupid that he
angers both men and gods. Every time I bully him, he gets angry but doesn't dare to say
anything. When his hackles are raised, he's like a hedgehog but his spines are soft. When they
prick me, it feels ticklish. He also does things stupidly, not uttering a sound when bullied. Tell
me, isn't he extremely stupid?"

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

Why the hell, why the hell does the person he describes sound so much like himself?

No way, no way. He shouldn't be talking about him right? How is he that pathetic? Right right right?

Damn it, the person Ling Xiao is talking about is basically him!

The puny mage Ling Xiao spoke about already has his hackles raised. After thinking up scenarios
for half a day, the 'enemy that killed his father' in his scenarios is actually himself. Too much of a
joke!

But but, why is Ling Xiao looking for him?

The hedgehog with raised hackles softens by himself without waiting for Ling Xiao to calm him
down. Compared to the words Ling Xiao uses to describe him, he takes more notice of the fact that he
is the person Ling Xiao is looking for. Why is he the one he's looking for? Can it be that before he
crossed over, Ling Xiao and 'You XiaoMo' already knew each other?

In reality, they were already lovers. Then 'You XiaoMo' was unhappy with Ling Xiao treating him
overbearingly and dictatorially so after a huge argument, he left home. Then, fortunately, he caught the
attention of TianXin sect and smoothly entered TianXin sect. Then, Ling Xiao, as his lover, thinks that
his loved one most probably entered TianXin sect so he came running after. The result is, the both of
them never imagined that You XiaoMo is no longer the original 'You XiaoMo', separated by life and
death .......

One hundred thousand alpacas again appear in his mind .......


But before the one hundred thousand alpacas can gallop across his mind, they were throttled to
death, because Ling Xiao's hands are currently wrapped around his neck, his foreboding smiling face
magnified in front of his face.

"Little brother, what were you just thinking of?" Ling Xiao asks.

You XiaoMo struggles to stick his tongue out, "Nothing ....... not thinking of anything ....... "

Ling Xiao's stare at him gets darker and darker, then he moves forward and captures his tongue
with his mouth .......

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

Such a serious atmosphere and he actually does such an inappropriate thing. You XiaoMo erupts a
bright red. Hateful. He can't breathe. His neck was already being throttled and now the air in his
mouth is being sucked away. How much does he hate him?

After a long while .......

Ling Xiao finally lets go of his tongue and asks while laughing *ha ha*, "Really not thinking of
anything?"

You XiaoMo takes a big gulp of air and quickly raises his hand while saying, "There is, there is,
there is. Actually I was thinking of why you were looking for me but I can't figure it out."

He is afraid that Ling Xiao would ask him what he thinks the reason is, so he quickly adds the last
part.

Ling Xiao finally releases his hold. His eyes seem to be saying he'll let him off for now.

Regaining his freedom, You XiaoMo heaves a sigh of relief. This world is actually quite good so
it's better if he remains alive.

After the commercial break, You XiaoMo finally remembers the original issue.

Just when he was about to loosen his grip on Ling Xiao's clothes, You XiaoMo suddenly reacts,
quickly tightening his grip once again, "That's not right ah. I don't seem to have crossed paths
with you before. Why are you looking for me for no reason?"

Although he doesn't have the memories of the original body, he feels that the original body and Ling
Xiao are people from two different worlds, with simply no chance of coming across each other.

"Don't get worked up. I also only found out today that you are the person I'm looking for."

Ling Xiao grips his hand, as if knowing what he is worried about, speaking in a gentle and soft
voice.
"It can't be ....... that it's the evaluation stone?"

You XiaoMo gapes. He can only think of this reason. This world is too much of a fantasy, although
it already is quite simply a land of fantasy.

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Giggling"The person I'm looking for is someone that has a multicolored soul. It's just that I
never expected ....... "

Hearing his guess, Ling Xiao doesn't deny it. Instead he beams gently while looking at him.
Although he doesn't finish the sentence, his gaze is definitely one of doubt.

The one being doubted, You XiaoMo, immediately turns into a prickly hedgehog. Doubting his soul
is tantamount to doubting his human worth. Unforgivable!

"You you you ....... what do you mean? How am I not like someone who has a multicolored
soul? If you don't give a clear answer today, I won't bird you from now on."

The meek You XiaoMo suddenly gives a little show of fierceness.

Ling Xiao laughs out loud *ha ha* in amusement. He pulls him into his arms and molests him one
more time. What is the meaning of this ridiculous 'bird you'? Why does the way he speaks seem more
and more amusing?

"You still haven't answered my question."

You XiaoMo, who is confined in his arms shouts while feeling depressed and resentful.

It was very difficult for him to give a show of force in front of Ling Xiao and the result ....... ai,
naturally fighting strength is an extremely important factor. Before he could adopt an imposing manner
for just a bit, he is already overpowered.

"Actually I should have thought of you a long time ago."

Ling Xiao suddenly sighs softly.

Although You XiaoMo is only a level three mage right now, his rate of advancement is definitely
unprecedented. Even if it could be attributed to his practicing of the Heavenly Soul Scroll, if he
doesn't have an exceptional and extraordinary innate talent, there is no way he could have risen from
an ordinary person to a level three mage in under a year. Even in the plane he was before, there has
never been someone who defies heaven in this way.

All these things clearly show that You XiaoMo's innate talent definitely can't be the green soul
during the previous evaluation. He actually only started to have doubts not too long ago but it's still
not too late now.

You XiaoMo raises his head, not understanding why he suddenly sighed.
After thinking it through, Ling Xiao suddenly lowers his head and looks at him, saying in a serious
tone, "Little brother, looks like for Kong Wen's request, you can only pretend to fail to meet it."

"Why?"

You XiaoMo asks resentfully, although he knows that Ling Xiao wouldn't say these words for no
reason.

"Your innate talent is not the same as it was before. According to principle, those with below
average innate talent can't advance two levels within a year. It may be possible from level one to
level two but, you as a mage should also know that the difficulty increases with each level. If you
advance to a level three mage in a mere two months, when the time comes, can you imagine
what other people would think?"

Ling Xiao doesn't want to scare him but he definitely doesn't wish for You XiaoMo to come to any
harm, so it's better to take precautions when it comes to certain things.

What would other people think?

When that happens, they would definitely think that something is not quite right. Someone with such
low innate talent can actually advance faster than those prodigies with high innate talent? If it was
him, he would also think that there is something wrong with this person.

So the worst result would be that he would be caught by Kong Wen to be experimented on. Then
they would discover that his soul is no longer the same. They would then suspect that his soul has
evolved causing them to do further experiments. Then maybe they would suspect that he is not the
same person leading to even more experiments. In the end, he would have turned into a white lab
mouse that is only allowed to stay inside the lab.

Thinking of this outcome, You XiaoMo suddenly shivers. Too terrifying!

You XiaoMo tightens his lips and hangs down his head somewhat resentfully, "I guess so."

According to his original intention, he actually wanted to piss off Kong Wen. Although Kong Wen
is his Master, Master doesn't like him. He also doesn't like Master. So he wants to let Kong Wen feel
regret. I'm such a good disciple and you insist on neglecting me. Regret it ba!

It's too much of a pity for this beautiful wish. If he lets go of this chance, which year, which month
would he be able to see it come true ah?

"Little brother."

Suddenly the sound of someone who can't help himself from laughing is heard above his head.

You XiaoMo instantly raises his head and sees Ling Xiao holding back his laughter, with mirth in
his eyes, looking at him teasingly. He blinks his eyes, what is this?
Ling Xiao laughs as he says, "It's easy to anger Kong Wen to death. When the time comes, you
only have to appear among the ranks and Kong Wen would definitely be furious."

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

So he accidentally voiced out his true intentions?

But after thinking it over, what Ling Xiao says also makes sense.

Since Kong Wen detests him so much, he definitely wouldn't agree to let him go. Otherwise, he
wouldn't purposely make it difficult for him. If he pretends that he has no way of becoming a level
three mage in a little over two months, he would certainly be very happy. But if he were to suddenly
appear at the scene on that day, the look on his old face would definitely be quite the sight.

You don't want to let me go. I insist on going. Without you, there are still other people that can help
me!

Thinking of this plan, You XiaoMo adds in the details in his head and suddenly feels very happy.
He can't stop himself from letting out a giggle. He already can't wait for that day to arrive.

Ling Xiao sees his smirking expression and feels his heart start itching. He also can't help himself
from stretching out his hand and rubbing his fingers suggestively on his lower jaw. He laughs while
saying, "What I said is right ba?"

You XiaoMo smiles slightly as he nods. Because he came up with such a good plan, he would
overlook the fact that that thing is currently molesting his lower jaw with his hand, "We'll go with
that."

Although he feels a little bad because Elder brother and Second brother fought to get him this
opportunity, in order to safeguard his path as a mage, he can't take this risk so he can only let them
down.

As a result, the important matter has already run off course. Ling Xiao skillfully shifted the focus,
leaving no trace.

You XiaoMo is immersed in his own fantasies. It is much much later before he remembers that
there are still many questions that he wants to ask. But by that time, that most opportune moment is
already gone.

After finding out that his innate talent is actually not below average, You XiaoMo even wants to
giggle in his dreams. This means that he won't be limited to a mid-level mage in the future. His
achievements can even be more awesome than that high level mage who can refine level ten magic
pills, QiuRan.

But after finding out his innate talent, he is also left with another big problem. That is, to amass
high level magic herb seeds.
Before, he thought that he would at best become a level six mage. That's why he didn't ask around
much about high level magic herb seeds. Now that he knows the real situation, he has to start
amassing high level magic herb seeds. If not, by the time he becomes a level seven mage, he can only
hug Buddha's feet in the hour of need, looking everywhere for seeds.

Thinking of this, You XiaoMo's thoughts turn to YunShui peak. He remembers that YunShui peak is
the place where they nurture mid-level and high level magic herbs. Since there are high level magic
herbs over there, there certainly will be seeds. Thinking of seeds, his thoughts turn to Uncle Ye Han.
He wonders ....... does he still remember him?

Damn it. That time, when he gave the opportunity to Elder brother and Second brother, Uncle Ye
Han didn't seem to be too happy .......

But these things are all for later. You XiaoMo can only put them to one side for now. Later, he
would find an opportunity to make a trip to YunShui peak. Right now, it should be time to return to
TianXin sect.

As for the twelve jade carvings, Ling Xiao doesn't say much about them, only asking him to keep
them properly.

You XiaoMo treats the twelve jade carvings as just decorative items. As for the twelve magic
beasts depicted by the jade carvings, regrettably, he has not seen even one of them depicted on the
scrolls on high level magic beasts. But he also doesn't feel that it is strange. After all, there are so
many types of magic beasts. It's not possible that humankind has seen every one of them, let alone
draw them out. There are probably some that have yet to be discovered by humans.

This time, Ling Xiao uses the capability of his dimension to transport them directly to HePing
town.

HePing town is the same as always. The streets are bustling with people coming and going. But,
maybe because the opening of the Paradise realm is drawing near, so there are more and more people
buying and selling magic pills and magic herbs in preparation for the trip to the Paradise realm.

You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao enter a magic pill shop. Magic pill shops sell magic pills. But magic
pills have to be kept in jade bottles in order to preserve their medicinal effect so magic pill shops
usually also buy and sell jade bottles.

You XiaoMo is preparing to buy a few hundred jade bottles. The main reason is because he
recently refined quite a lot of magic pills. In order to separate them by type, he used up all the jade
bottles in his magic bag.

After hearing that he wants to buy jade bottles, and such a considerable amount at that, the attendant
can't help casting a few more looks at him.

Usually, people that buy more than a hundred jade bottles are all not low level mages but the youth
in front of him doesn't look more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and he actually buys three
hundred in one go.

The attendant guesses that he is probably a disciple from some sect so he doesn't dwell on it. He
takes out all kinds of jade bottles, "Honored guest, we have ten types of jade bottles. Which type
would you like?"

Jade bottles have the ability to lock in the medicinal effect of magic pills. The higher the quality,
the better the effect, especially for mid-level and high level magic pills. Usually, mages would choose
the better kind.

However, You XiaoMo doesn't have this concern. For one, the magic pills he refines are low level
magic pills. The other reason is because he places the magic pills he refines inside his dimension.
The dimension is filled with spiritual energy so it's essentially an excellent storage space. He only
needs to move them into his magic bag right before he needs them.

The attendant is a little disappointed when he sees that he only wants to buy jade bottles of the
lowest quality. But, three hundred is not a small number. This is a minor consolation point. Very
quickly, he counts the total. It's thirty gold coins altogether. One gold coin for every ten jade bottles.

After completing the transaction, You XiaoMo simply heads to the public square where the
winged-birds are with Ling Xiao. That was the first place You XiaoMo arrived at the first time he
came down the mountain. This is also where TianXin sect disciples would head to when they want to
go back.

Notes:won't bird you - modern slang for won't bother with you, so of course Ling Xiao won't get it

Chapter 147

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Won't let go.Although TianXin sect has a lot of disciples, it's not as if a huge group of people will
go down the mountain every day. So there aren't many people at the winged bird public square.

But the manager of the winged bird public square is a very business-minded person. He divided the
winged bird public square into two. On the right side, he reserves twenty of the biggest winged birds
to be ordered about by TianXin sect disciples. On the other hand, the winged birds on the left side are
for the other mystics of HePing town. But there is a charge, determined by the length of the journey.

When Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo arrive, the left side of the public square is neither crowded nor
deserted. Some people are in the process of leaving HePing town on the winged birds. Others are
still negotiating because each trip is at least one gold coin regardless of distance. But if the distance
exceeds a certain limit, there is an additional charge. Some people feel that it is unfair.

You XiaoMo only gives them a curious glance before heading to the right side of the public square
with Ling Xiao. Unexpectedly they actually run into a familiar person that can't be any more familiar.
Not only that, there is also bad blood between them. That person is not Bill, it's the one he hasn't met
for a long time, Tang YunQi. Besides her, there are ten or so fellow disciples. Unfortunately, among
them, there are quite a few that You XiaoMo recognizes.

Xiao Long is Lei Ju's Master. He is the Elder that is leading them for this trip.

When You XiaoMo sees him, he unconsciously shrinks because he suddenly remembers one thing.
Seems like he also has bad blood with this Elder Xiao, albeit indirectly. Seeing him, he immediately
remembers the two incidents that happened in the library. Elder Xiao's two disciples, Li Jun and
Wang YuFei are already his enemies.

But what really makes his balls ache is that Li Jun and Wang YuFei are also in this group of people.
Two pairs of piercing eyes seem to shoot out sharp knives, flying over *xiu xiu*, aiming straight at his
forehead.

"Elder Xiao? I didn't expect to meet you here. Clearly it's fated ah"

Contrary to expectations, the first one to open his mouth is Ling Xiao. But in You XiaoMo's ears,
his words seem to be somewhat mocking.

Ling Xiao doesn't conceal the joy he feels, his handsome face smiling like always. It's just that it is
nothing but a complete sham. However, You XiaoMo is the only one who can detect it.

When Tang YunQi sees him, a pleasantly surprised happy smile immediately blooms on her pretty
face. But when she catches sight of You XiaoMo, her face falls in an instant, not concealing her hatred
for You XiaoMo in the least.
Elder Xiao is after all an Elder, having a whole lot of experience with his many years. Of course
he won't lose his cool in front of a junior. As for his current dislike towards Ling Xiao and You
XiaoMo, he still has to suppress it in the end. Smiling on the surface, he says, "How could your
Uncle Xiao be as idle as Young Lin? Running here and there with a junior mage all day? If your
Master finds out about this, he just might give you another talking to."

When he mentions the junior mage, Elder Xiao's gaze looks to the side and strikes You XiaoMo. A
gaze that is filled with disdain and contempt.

You XiaoMo rubs his nose and turns away, ignoring him.

Ling Xiao laughs as he speaks, "Elder Xiao need not take the trouble to worry about this
matter."

Xiao Long snorts *hmph*, and says coldly, "Recently the actions of the demons are getting
bolder. Young Lin should not simply go out as you please to avoid not being around when
needed."

Ling Xiao laughs but doesn't reply.

The group with Xiao Long also came down to buy things in preparation for the trip to the Paradise
realm. They had just finished everything fifteen minutes before. Unexpectedly, they bumped into each
other on the way back.

But they have already chosen two large winged birds. Two winged birds can seat twelve. There
are only eleven of them so there is an empty seat. However, Xiao Long doesn't invite Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao also does not intend to take the same winged birds as them. He pulls You XiaoMo along
to a nearby winged bird.

The person in charge of the public square is very familiar with Ling Xiao. When he saw him bring
someone over, he already told his underling to bring over a winged bird that can seat four.

Ling Xiao lets You XiaoMo get on first before getting on himself.

But just as he was about to step up, Tang YunQi's voice comes from behind.

"Brother Xiao, wait for me. I also want to go with you."

Before the others could react, Tang YunQi simply jumps down from the winged bird and runs up to
Ling Xiao. Not waiting for Ling Xiao's answer, she says to Xiao Long and company, "Uncle Xiao,
you all can leave first ba. I want to go back with Brother Xiao."

Because TianXin sect reserves the larger winged birds for their own use, the smallest one can seat
four. Therefore, Ling Xiao's winged bird can still seat two more. It's because of this that Tang YunQi
dares to say what she said. But she simply didn't think that Ling Xiao would not agree.
Although Xiao Long is a rough person, his nerves are definitely not rough. He can think of what
Tang YunQi fails to grasp. Hearing her words, he immediately thinks of calling her back. Suddenly, he
seems to think of something, causing a barely detectable sliver of delight to flash in his eyes. It's gone
in an instant. Then he says to Ling Xiao who has his eyebrows raised, "Since it's like this, then
we'll have to trouble Young Lin to take care of Sister YunQi. We'll leave first."

After saying these words, he leaves immediately with the others.

Two gigantic winged birds flap their wings and rise up, stirring up a sizable gust of wind. Then
they simply fly further away, slowly disappearing from their line of sight.

On the other side, Tang YunQi extends her hand happily towards Ling Xiao, "Brother Xiao, give
me a hand."

Ling Xiao suddenly narrows his eyes. They are so sure that he wouldn't just leave her there so they
dared to make a one-sided decision? It seems as if he doesn't even to guess to figure out what they are
thinking.

If he just leaves Tang YunQi behind, Tang YunQi and Xiao Long would definitely go tell Tang Fan.
Looking horizontally and vertically, there is no way to explain himself so the outcome would
probably be him angering Tang Fan, causing him to be punished. It may even implicate You XiaoMo.

But ....... until now, no one has ever dared to threaten him like this!

"Elder brother Ling, let her come up ba."

Right at this moment, You XiaoMo who is sitting on the winged bird suddenly grabs his arm,
speaking softly.

Ling Xiao inclines his head and looks at the earnest look in You XiaoMo's eyes. Reining in the dark
storms that were just swirling in his eyes, he looks back at Tang YunQi and throws these words at her
indifferently, "Come up by yourself."

Saying that, he steps onto the back of the winged bird and sits down next to You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo looks at Tang YunQi as she slowly clambers up. Although this junior sister has his
ideal outward appearance of a delicate maiden, her character leaves much to be desired. He also
wouldn't choose this kind of target to display his gentleman-like manner. So he puts on a thick skin
and ignores her, just like what Ling Xiao is doing.

The two front seats are occupied by the two of them so Tang YunQi can only sit on the back seats.

You XiaoMo thought that she would choose to sit behind Ling Xiao. Unexpectedly, Tang YunQi
actually chooses to sit behind him .......

The moment Tang YunQi sits down, You XiaoMo immediately feels a burst of cold air. There is no
need for him to turn around to know that Tang YunQi's glare is locked on him. He can already feel her
eyes filled with intense hatred, boring into his body.

Just when he is thinking all sorts of crazy things, the winged bird takes off.

In a moment of inattentiveness, You XiaoMo's body topples backwards. But in an instant, Ling
Xiao, at his side, with quick eyes and deft hands, encircles his waist and pulls him into his embrace.

Because of this unexpected episode, You XiaoMo is pressed onto Ling Xiao's thigh. After he
regains his balance, Ling Xiao still has no plans to return him to his seat. With one arm wrapped
around his waist, he imprisons him tightly.

You XiaoMo is scared stiff. Especially since Ling Xiao's ardent admirer is sitting behind him.

It must be said that jealous women are very terrifying. Especially this Junior sister Tang.
Furthermore, he is rather thin-skinned. He doesn't like to flirt with Ling Xiao in front of others. So
....... this kind of flirtatious behavior ....... is better done in private.

But, even after exerting all his strength, he fails to break free from Ling Xiao's arm. Much like
walls of copper and iron, there is no way to shake it even a little bit. Instead, You XiaoMo becomes
breathless.

"Behave a little."

Ling Xiao exhales softly next to his ear.

You XiaoMo's ears immediately turn bright red. He mutters softly, "Let go of me first."

Ling Xiao tightens his hold, laughing *ha ha* while saying, "You are so stupid. You can even fall
while sitting down. I feel like this way is best."

My dear, that is not the important point. The most important point is that there is a jealous woman
behind them.

Behaving so intimately in front of her? You XiaoMo thinks to himself. He feels that if the person he
likes were to act so intimately in front of him with someone he hates, he would definitely beg Buddha
for his blessing to stab this 'dog couple' to death. Not to mention, in his previous life, he followed his
mother and believed in Buddhism.

Then, contrary to expectations, aside from a momentary change in mood in the beginning, Tang
YunQi doesn't behave any differently, staying quiet the whole way, not uttering a single word. In under
an hour, they arrive back at TianXin sect.

When they part ways at the fork in the road, Tang YunQi suddenly turns around and says one
sentence to Ling Xiao, "Brother Xiao, I definitely won't let you go."

Saying that, she doesn't wait for Ling Xiao to answer before walking away.
Leaving You XiaoMo by himself to face the unreadable Ling Xiao, feeling rather terrified.

Notes:Bill - not sure why Bill is used. Maybe it means Tom, Dick and Harry?

ball ache - slang that probably means 囧 in this context

dog couple - couple having an illicit affair

Chapter 148

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Changes in the dimension.The following days pass with calm winds and gentle waves.

Although Tang YunQi said those kind of words, You XiaoMo doesn't see her again. He also didn't
hear anything about her going to find Ling Xiao and such. But he also hasn't seen Ling Xiao since then.

Later, he hears that Tang Fan gave him an assignment so he is very busy, no shadow of the man
almost every day. It's clear how busy he is. You XiaoMo guesses that probably either Tang YunQi or
Xiao Long went to complain to Tang Fan. So in order to not let Ling Xiao have the time to come find
him, Tang Fan gave him these assignments.

But these are all what happens later.

Returning to Earth peak, You XiaoMo first goes to find Zhao DaZhou, and chats with him for about
half an hour before returning to his room.

Not being around for a few days, the whole room is covered in a thin layer of dust. You XiaoMo
picks up a basin and goes outside to fetch a basin of water. It only takes him a while to wipe the desk,
chair, and cupboard clean. After coming back from throwing out the water, he enters the dimension.

Just as he opens the door to the little wooden hut, a white figure throws itself at him.

You XiaoMo lowers his head and takes a look. Xiao Piqiu is looking at him with an aggrieved
expression, blinking his pair of red eyes while whimpering softly, trying to make him feel guilty.

You XiaoMo's mouth twitches as he is determined not to be fooled. Because if he lets it out, it
would definitely trample on his magic herb fields again. He definitely would not let something that
happened before happen once again.

Seeing that his Master does not react, Xiao Piqiu bares his teeth at him.

You XiaoMo pretends not to see anything, putting it back on the floor. Then he takes out a piece of
Miraculous sheep meat from his magic bag. Because the meat has yet to be cleaned, the small wooden
hut is immediately filled with a faint bloody scent.

You XiaoMo doesn't mind it and puts the meat into a wooden basin. He then takes it into the simple
and crude tiny kitchen.

Behind him, when he took out the piece of meat, Xiao Piqiu's eyes immediately locked onto the
piece of meat, not looking away again. That look is like having caught sight of its prey. Glaring like a
tiger with a hint of savagery. Although it is still young, it is clear that when faced with its prey, the
instinct is strong.
Seeing You XiaoMo walk away, Xiao Piqiu follows quickly.

When You XiaoMo was building the small wooden hut, he did consider that he might want to cook,
so he purposely left space for a small kitchen. Although the kitchen is small, it is fully equipped with
pots, bowls, ladles, tubs, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, not lacking anything.

Because there isn't any ordinary water in the dimension, You XiaoMo simply uses the magic water
to rinse the meat. After cleaning it, he puts it on the cutting board. He is in no hurry to cook for Xiao
Piqiu. He then takes out a few things from his magic bag again. It's all things that he bought the last
time he went down the mountain. There are all kinds of herbs, spices, sauces, and the like.

After placing all these in order one by one, You XiaoMo lifts the cleaver and cuts the piece of
Miraculous sheep meat into eight pieces of about equal size. Then he puts them one by one into the pot
he had prepared. After boiling for a few minutes, he scoops it out again. Then he puts it back in with
all sorts of seasonings that he prepared into the pot and pours in some magic water. Putting on the
cover, he prepares to increase the flame.

As someone who is used to the modern gas stove, You XiaoMo is not used to using a primitive
firewood stove. It takes quite a lot of effort to get a strong flame going and keep it going.

Although he has never cooked the meat of Miraculous sheep before, he feels that it is similar to
beef and the like. In order to make it soft and full of flavor, it needs to be cooked for a long time so he
has to keep watch over it. This is rather troublesome.

You XiaoMo can actually cook other dishes. After all, he has lived by himself before for a period
of time so it is unlikely that he can't cook. But Xiao Piqiu is a carnivorous animal. No matter how
pretty he makes the dishes, it wouldn't appreciate it. So he simply makes a pot of meat stew.

But, very quickly he gets a taste of his ignorance.

He thought that a pot of Miraculous sheep meat will take about the same time as a pot of beef, about
two and a half hours, because there is quite a bit of meat. He didn't consider that the Miraculous
sheep is a level eight magic beast. The meat of a level eight magic beast is not something that can be
compared to beef. Although the meat is incomparably delicious, but because it is filled with spiritual
energy, it can't be cooked by ordinary fire .......

After squatting down and cycling through many different positions, You XiaoMo finally realizes
that it is taking too long.

So, an hour later, when he opens the lid, he sees that the meat looks just as it did when he put it in
an hour ago. He is totally speechless. The water is boiling. The spices and seasonings are all mixed
up. But most importantly, there is no change at all in the meat.

Suffering a blow, You XiaoMo can only first extinguish the flame and then ponder where he had
gone wrong.
After some difficulty, he figures out that it has something to do with the quality of the meat. It's a
pity that he only has access to ordinary fire.

Right at this time, he feels that his pants are going to be pulled down. He hastily holds on to his
pants and looks down to see Xiao Piqiu stuck on his pants, trying his best to climb upwards. Its eyes
are shining, fixed on the piece of meat in his hands.

You XiaoMo is silent for a moment before lifting up the cover of the pot and scooping the meat out.
The moment he puts down the plate, Xiao Piqiu suddenly howls and rushes over, sticking his head
right into the plate, eating up the raw meat with saliva splashing everywhere.

Although Xiao Piqiu was born less than one month ago, its teeth are extraordinarily sharp, *chi la
chi la* ripping up the meat of the Miraculous sheep. Very quickly, he polishes off a huge chunk.

You XiaoMo takes one look and doesn't look back again. As a human who has eaten cooked food
for over ten years, he can't accept eating raw meat. That's why he doesn't like to eat Japanese sashimi.
The peculiar thing is, everyone else in his family likes it. It's only him that doesn't like it. He has
always wondered about this.

No longer paying any attention to Xiao Piqiu, You XiaoMo picks a few hundred stalks of magic
herbs from the racks. He already hasn't refined magic pills for a few days. In order to advance as
quickly as possible, he has to practice regularly. But before that, he sits down to meditate in the
dimension while practicing the Heavenly Soul Scroll. He only leaves the dimension an hour later.

You XiaoMo goes out and takes a walk. He sees that the atmosphere in Earth peak is about the
same as before. Before returning, he asked about the whereabouts of Elder brother. Just as he
expected, he is still at Yun Shui peak. Since he's not able to meet with Elder brother, You XiaoMo can
only go back to his room.

After laying out the few hundred stalks of magic herbs on the table, You XiaoMo starts to refine
level three magic pills. Ever since his first failure when he first started refining level three magic
pills, You XiaoMo works with determination to ensure that he maintains the glorious zero failure rate
from before.

At that time, he didn't know his real innate talent. He had thought that his success was due to his
hard work. Now that he knows, he feels that he should maintain the zero failure record. Otherwise, it
would be an insult to his soul.

Even though that is how he feels, You XiaoMo still feels some psychological burden.

Once he had figured out his outstanding talent, he would think that he would have to perform the
best, not allowing himself to fail. But since it's like this, the heart would be perturbed, and this would
in turn make it easy to fail.

So, when the magic herbs in the cauldron fails for the second time during the blending step, You
XiaoMo is thoroughly dumbfounded.
What the hell is the meaning of this? Why is it that after he found out his innate talent, his rate of
failure for refining magic pills actually increases?

You XiaoMo pulls at his own hair with all his strength. He does know why he is continuously
failing. The most important reason is that he is too agitated. He keeps thinking that he must succeed.
Because of that, he can't keep his focus. If he had known that it would be like this, he would rather
never find out about his own innate talent.

After struggling with it for a long time, You XiaoMo decides not to continue refining magic pills.
Instead, he enters the dimension to practice the Heavenly Soul Scroll.

He has to calm down his heart. If not, no matter how good his innate talent, it would be ruined by
him.

After closing his eyes, he quietly activates the Heavenly Soul Scroll. The pores in his body seem to
widen. The spiritual energy in the dimension rushes into his body following his pores, then pours into
the space between his eyebrows. His soul seems to expand until there is no space left for any more
spiritual energy.

Right at this moment, You XiaoMo's body suddenly shudders. Then, a boundless soul force jets out
of the space between his eyebrows, like a flood, causing waves of ripples to form on the calm water
surface. Spreading out endlessly with him at the center .......

It continues until his soul force fills up the whole dimension. Suddenly a change occurs at the
previously calm center of the magic water lake. The center seems to be boiling, as if something is
about to break out at any moment, as if there is something that wants to come out from the bottom of
the lake. An instant later, a fist sized opening forms in the center of the lake, like a bowl. A sky blue
pearl is lying in the middle of the tiny groove.

A second later, this sky blue pearl appears to be affected by some force, causing it to fly out from
the groove, instantly turning into a piercing ray of light, shooting into the space between You
XiaoMo's eyebrows .......

When the pearl disappears, an indistinct seal suddenly appears in the space between You XiaoMo's
eyebrows. The seal shimmers a few times before disappearing.

An hour later, You XiaoMo finally opens his eyes. There is no longer any sign of fluctuating
emotions in his eyes. Looks like he has at least calmed down. Although he isn't certain, he feels that
his soul force seems to have increased. Stretching out his right hand, he suddenly feels very attuned to
his surroundings, as if he can sense each and every blade of grass and tree in the dimension.

He suddenly remembers that some of the magic herb fields are already matured. It should be time to
harvest. But thinking about digging them up one by one, he feels a little helpless. This process is
really too time consuming. If the magic herbs could get up from the soil by themselves, and place
themselves on the racks, that would be best.
The moment this thought flashed in his mind, a stalk of magic herb floats past his eyes. You
XiaoMo is momentarily stunned, thinking that he must be seeing things, so he lets it be. But when the
nth stalk of magic herb floats past his eyes, he is finally dumbfounded.

Even if he is seeing things, it can't be that he is seeing the same thing n times.

After being in a daze for about fifteen minutes, You XiaoMo finally stands up and runs towards the
magic herb fields. Sure enough, there is suddenly a bare patch on the magic herb field where there
used to be mature magic herbs. The soil also looks as if it has been tilled, loose and fluffy.

This ....... what exactly is going on?

After awakening from over an hour of practice, this kind of thing actually happens? Seems too
miraculous.

You XiaoMo is sure of one thing. This new capability wasn't there before. So, most probably
something he wasn't aware of happened while he was practicing just now, bringing about this kind of
thing.

Although it is totally unexpected, he can't deny that this kind of ability is really too awesome!

With this kind of ability, You XiaoMo no longer has to worry about planting and watering the magic
herbs. He only has to form the intention, and the dimension will help him carry it out. He had wanted
to buy a few more magic beasts, but now, it looks like he no longer has to.

That's right, what happened to Xiao Piqiu?

Just as the thought crosses his mind, a sweetly sleeping little magic beast curled up into a ball with
a bulging belly appears in front of him. Xiao Piqiu's snow white belly is facing upwards as it snores
very loudly.

But in this short span of time, You XiaoMo discovers that Xiao Piqiu seems to have grown bigger.
Originally he was only the size of an adult head. Now he's turned into the size of two adult heads. Its
shape is gradually breaking away from that of a young pup. Its outer appearance is starting to take on
the imposing look of an adult Blue-blooded wolf.

You XiaoMo looks at it with his mouth hanging open for quite a while. All sorts of strange things
are happening today.

Although he doesn't know the reason, he can guess that it has something to do with the Miraculous
sheep meat that Xiao Piqiu ate. No wonder Ling Xiao likes the meat from this type of level eight
magic beast. Looks like the meat of the Miraculous sheep is really magical.

According to this trend, it wouldn't take long before Xiao Piqiu turns into Da Piqiu.

Wrapped in excitement, You XiaoMo doesn't try to refine magic pills again for the day. He also
isn't in the mood to refine magic pills.
Since the meat of the Miraculous sheep can make Xiao Piqiu grow up, he decides that during the
two months before the Paradise realm opens, he would feed Xiao Piqiu and turn it into Da Piqiu. But
because he doesn't have the requisite type of fire, he can only feed it raw meat.

After making this decision, the next day, You XiaoMo settles his emotions in order to refine magic
pills.

This time, he no longer fails again. Maybe because he had a breakthrough in his emotional stability
or his soul force, he feels that refining magic pills is going more smoothly than before.

Just like this, a span of two months passes in a blink of an eye.

Kong Wen's time limit of two months is also up.

Note:Da Piqiu - big rubber ball

Chapter 149

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Telling lies.By the time You XiaoMo opens his eyes again, it's already noon the next day.

Because he himself already doesn't consider Kong Wen's deadline as anything important, it doesn't
occur to him that there is an important day coming up. He carries on with his usual activities, wash
face, eat, enter the dimension to check up on Xiao Piqiu, oh wait, it should be Da PiQiu now, and
finally start refining magic pills.

This afternoon, just as he places the Enlightened golden cauldron on the floor, a polite unhurried
knock is heard at the door.

Such a courteous and patient knock. It definitely can't be that fellow Ling Xiao.

You XiaoMo unconsciously thinks of Fang ChenLe because only Elder brother is this gentle of a
person, so only he can do such a polite thing. Zhao DaZhou would also come to find him sometimes
but the sound of his knock is rather carefree, much like is character.

You XiaoMo quickly keeps the Enlightened golden cauldron. To others, he is now only a level two
mage. No matter how rich he is, there is no way he can afford such an expensive cauldron.
Furthermore, level two magic pills do not require a level six cauldron of such good quality.

Although Elder brother is very good to him, he knows that to Elder brother, Master is someone he
is indebted to for providing him with support and a new lease on life. On the other hand, he is only a
junior brother he met along the way. Who is important, who is not, it is clear at a glance. Therefore,
he doesn't want to put a strain on their master and disciple relationship just for these things.

After making sure that there is nothing left in the room that shouldn't be there, You XiaoMo goes to
open the door.

He opens the door to see that it really is Elder brother Fang ChenLe outside, beaming while
looking at him, not appearing the least bit angry that is slow to come out.

"Little brother, it can't be that you stayed up the whole night again last night so you only just
woke up ba?"

Fang ChenLe looks at his rosy cheeks. In his heart, he is no longer surprised to see this sight. But he
also won't assume that Little brother's rosy cheeks are because he listened to his advice and went to
bed right on time.

Hearing these somewhat teasing words, You XiaoMo blushes.

Last night, he really did stay up all night. But it wasn't because he was refining magic pills. The
thing is, when he was practicing the Heavenly Soul Scroll in the dimension yesterday, he felt that
there was a sign that he was about to have a breakthrough for the Heavenly Soul Scroll. So he wanted
to seize the opportunity. He didn't expect that when he opened his eyes again, it would already by the
next day. He himself felt like he had only been practicing for a little while.

You XiaoMo was worried that someone would come look for him so he quickly left the dimension
the moment he awakened. Sure enough, someone really did come looking for him. And that person is
Fang ChenLe.

"Elder brother, is there anything I can help you with?"

You XiaoMo scratches his head as he asks.

Fang ChenLe looks at his bewildered face and can't help from laughing, "Little brother. Can it be
that you have forgotten what day it is?"

What day?

You XiaoMo stares blankly for a bit and then starts to think about it carefully.

Things that have to do with Elder brother, seems like ....... there is only that thing .......

You XiaoMo feels embarrassed all at once. Ever since he and Ling Xiao decided how to deal with
this matter, he no longer gave it any thought. So these two months, he seems to have forgotten all about
it.

"Elder brother, I ....... "

You XiaoMo hesitates as he lowers his head, his happy expression gone in one sweep.

Seeing his expression, the smile on Fang ChenLe's face slowly disappears. His elegant eyebrows
are slightly raised. This expression, can it be that he didn't manage to succeed?

Fang ChenLe suddenly also doesn't know what to say. Of course, in his heart, he wished that Little
brother would be able to meet Master's demands. This was what they agreed upon at that time. But as
it is now, becoming a level three mage in two months is indeed too much to ask. At that time, he
should have fought for a better chance for Little brother.

Fang ChenLe can't help heaving a sigh, "Little brother, you really can't do it?"

You XiaoMo shakes his head, not saying anything.

Fang ChenLe is silent for a long time, then sighs deeply, "So it's like this. Little brother, what do
you plan to do now?"

It's not that he didn't consider asking Master again. But as Master's grand disciple, and after
growing up by Master's side, his understanding of Master cannot be considered superficial. If he were
to ask Master again on behalf of Little brother, Master would most probably be furious. If that's the
case, it might instead add to the dislike Master has towards Little brother.

"Elder brother doesn't have to worry about me. I will find another way."

You XiaoMo hears him relent so he smiles as he speaks.

Fang ChenLe opens and closes his mouth. In his heart, he doesn't believe that there is any other way
for Little brother, unless .......

Fang ChenLe can't help but think of Ling Xiao. This warrior division prodigy seems to have a
closer relationship with Little brother than he has. If Little brother really has a way, he most definitely
has something to do with it.

Thinking of the recent rumors, Fang ChenLe also can't seem to figure it out.

Taking into account Little brother's character, Ling Xiao that prodigy should be someone he can't
get close to even if he uses eight poles. But the relationship between the two is unexpectedly very
good. He has already heard more than once of the two of them going down the mountain together. Take
today for instance. The moment he arrived back, he hears everyone talking about Little brother and
Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao seems to be sticking out for Little brother time and again, not even hesitating to offend
others. This is something that the previous Ling Xiao would never do. Although Fang ChenLe has only
had superficial interactions with Ling Xiao, he has heard the rumors about Ling Xiao. Someone that is
indifferent, that kind of condescending person can actually give special treatment to Little brother?

Fang ChenLe can't figure it out. Many people in TianXin sect also can't figure it out.

But their close relationship is clear to anyone who has eyes. Saying that they are just putting on an
act would be too much.

"Little brother, Elder brother is the powerless one. Unable to help you out."

Fang ChenLe smiles bitterly as he pats his shoulder.

He had thought he would be able to help Little brother. As it is now, he really overestimated
himself. Things that have been decided by Master, are things that he and ZiLin cannot change.

You XiaoMo shakes his head, saying, "Elder brother, don't say it like that. You have already
helped me more than enough."

Fang ChenLe says, "You don't have to console me. Elder brother knows how to judge for
myself. I may not be able to help you with this matter but if you have another wish, Elder
brother will do everything in my power to help you achieve it."

You XiaoMo smiles as he nods before suddenly reacting. He actually thought of something that
Elder brother might be able to help him with. His eyeballs roll round and round as he says, "Elder
brother, I actually have something that I need your help with that might be a little difficult for
you."

"Say whatever difficult or not difficult. Elder brother with definitely help. Say it ba. What is
it?"

Fang ChenLe laughs as he taps him lightly on his forehead.

You XiaoMo laughs *hei hei*. He thinks it over in his heart before saying cautiously, "Elder
brother, what do you usually do at Yun Shui peak? Do you and Second brother take care of the
mid-level magic herbs together?"

Fang ChenLe doesn't suspect him, thinking that he is only very curious. He says, "That's not it. At
first, Uncle Ye really only let me and Second brother come into contact with mid-level magic
herbs. But now, he would occasionally let us take care of the high level magic herbs. But not
often, about once every four or five days. Why is Little brother asking about this?"

You XiaoMo immediately says measuredly, "Elder brother has seen the seeds dropped by the
high level magic herbs?"

Fang ChenLe is momentarily stunned before coming back to his senses. He was wondering what
Little brother wanted to say. Turns out it's this. It's not something that can't be said so he tells him, "Of
course I've seen it. But because there are not a lot of high level magic herbs, the seeds that fall are
also not many. One stalk can drop two to three seeds at most. But some of these seeds can be bad.

As long as there are some, it's good enough. You XiaoMo is a little excited, "So Elder brother
can get some high level magic herb seeds?"

Hearing his words, Fang ChenLe is finally surprised. He frowns as he looks at him, "Little
brother's intention is to let Elder brother help you to bring out some high level magic herb seeds
ba?"

You XiaoMo shifts his gaze away, feeling ill at ease. He nods, "Yes ....... "

"Little brother, can you tell me what you want to do with the high level magic herb seeds?"

Fang ChenLe definitely doesn't mind helping him but he wants to know what Little brother wants to
do with these high level magic herb seeds. There's no way he can grow them. For one, Little brother
doesn't have a magic herb field. Two, his innate talent is below average so he can at best become a
level six mage. So high level magic herbs are of no use to him.

You XiaoMo already expected that he would ask this. He already prepared an excuse in his heart,
"Elder brother, you also know that I'm only a lowly mage with nothing to my name. Earth peak
also has the rule that disciples are only allowed to take magic herbs for ten magic pills each day.
If I want to become a level three mage as soon as possible, that amount is simply not enough.
Earning points by taking on chores is also too slow. So I was thinking, if I could get some high
level magic seeds, then sell them to earn some gold coins, then use that to buy some magic herbs
....... "

Saying this, he lowers his head, not daring to look at Fang ChenLe.

He has finally lied to Elder brother. He has sinned!

In Fang ChenLe's eyes, this expression looks as if he is embarrassed. The guilt in his heart gets
sharper, he actually didn't think of this before. Really, really .......

Fang ChenLe feels that he has wronged him. Hearing his words, he feels the guilt in his heart get
heavier so he consents right then and there, "Little brother, don't worry. This little thing is not
difficult for Elder brother. Wait a while and Elder brother will bring high level magic herb
seeds for you."

This matter, to him, is really a small matter.

High level magic herb seeds are seemingly precious but they are really not so. Yun Shui peak
collects a lot of magic herb seeds but they are not used because the time it takes from sprout to
maturity is really too long. For example, level seven magic herbs. It takes several hundred years to
mature. But who has the time to wait several hundred years?

So even major sects with deep resources like TianXin sect will also not use up large areas of land
to sow magic herb seeds. At most they will sow seeds on a few patches of magic herb fields. The rest
of the magic herbs are all transplanted into Yun Shui peak from outside.

Because of this, the amount of high level magic seeds that Yun Shui peak has in storage is quite a
lot.

Since the seeds are of no use, Uncle Ye of course wouldn't purposely keep an inventory of them.
Usually, taking care of the magic herb fields is enough to keep him busy. So, even if Fang ChenLe
takes some seeds from the storage shed, he wouldn't even know.

But because it's not just Uncle Ye at Yun Shui peak, Fang ChenLe can't enter the wooden shed as he
pleases. So he can only wait for the next batch of magic herbs to drop seeds before he has the chance
to go in.

After sending Fang ChenLe off, You XiaoMo closes the door and can't stop himself from jumping
onto the bed, rolling here and there, one second frowning, the next, giggling foolishly.

Although he feels a little bad for lying to Elder brother, he doesn't really have a choice. High level
magic herbs are hard to find. He also can't always ask Ling Xiao to accompany him down the
mountain so he can only look to Yun Shui peak. Since Elder brother is conveniently working there, he
can only ask for his help.
After taking care of the matter with the seeds, You XiaoMo is in a very good mood.

He again takes out all the things he prepared for refining magic pills. These few days, he can faintly
feel that he is about to breakthrough to the second level of the Heavenly Soul Scroll. So he wants to
try and see if he can have this breakthrough before the opening of the Paradise realm.

If it was before, he would definitely be endlessly shocked by his level up speed. But after finding
out his own innate talent, he is calm. Calmly accepting this type of super perverse speed.

But he doesn't slack on practicing after finding out his innate talent. Instead, he works even harder
than before.

Two months ago, he by chance learned how to control the dimension. Only after the fact did he
realize that Ling Xiao already told him about it earlier. Because he didn't have true control over the
dimension, he couldn't make it do as he pleases.

Now that his mind is linked to the dimension, he can already move the dimension with his mind.
But it is restricted by his level. He can move very short distances. Furthermore, it uses up a lot of
soul force. For distances that are a little longer, the soul force will be totally depleted. He doesn't
dare to take the risk so he hasn't tried it.

After putting away all the unnecessary thoughts, You XiaoMo starts to refine magic pills.

At the same time, Fang ChenLe went from his place directly to Kong Wen's place to report back.

Kong Wen doesn't show the least bit surprise at the outcome. Rather, this answer is exactly what he
expected. But what makes him a little surprised is that his Grand disciple doesn't try to intercede for
the Seventh disciple. Before this, he even prepared how to refuse his Grand disciple's pleas.

Although that is the case, Kong Wen doesn't let it show one bit. He chats with him for an hour
before letting him go.

The next day, Fang ChenLe returns to Yun Shui peak.

He has no idea that the very same day he leaves, this matter spreads throughout Earth peak.

Chapter 150

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Demon activity.The people that hear the rumors all look down on You XiaoMo. Wanting to become
a level three mage from a level two mage in two months? This is obviously a pipe dream!

But You XiaoMo who is in seclusion preparing to breakthrough has no idea. He simply has no idea
that he is now the number one on the billboard charts. It's just that he is on the black chart. This so
called billboard charts is really just being the topic of everyone's gossip.

No matter if it's on earth or other worlds, humans cannot change their busybody nature. Especially
for a group of fellows who spend all their days training. Because cultivating is an incomparably dull
and dry road, it increases everyone's appetite for gossip.

So, every time there is a rustling of grass from the wind, it would spread very fast. This kind of
thing doesn't only happen in TianXin sect. It's the same thing for the other major sects.

You XiaoMo, as the number one person on the billboard charts, is frequently the subject of envy,
jealousy, and hate. So anything that is connected to him will spread especially fast. Although it may
not spread to the whole TianXin sect, it would definitely spread throughout Earth Peak.

Just like this matter, no matter who it is that starts it, as long as You XiaoMo's name is involved, it
would definitely be like a level eight and above typhoon. Spreading incomparably swiftly and
violently throughout the whole Earth peak.

But all these are not known to You XiaoMo. What he is more clueless about is that a lot of the
people who dislike him are waiting eagerly for him to fail. So, having obtained this hard to come by
chance, all of them seem to can't wait to add oil and vinegar, smearing his name.

The reality is really like that. Before, they kept hearing about him doing this and that with Ling
Xiao, and then his outstanding performance at the Hall of Mages, although some people start to view
him in a new light because of these things, it is easy to get jealous. It's difficult to change from being a
hater to being a fan especially since not everyone is so broad-minded.

So, just as You XiaoMo is in seclusion seeking to have a breakthrough, his situation has already
been embellished with oil and vinegar, going through one round of transformation, leading a lot of
people to say that he had overestimated his own abilities.

But by the time You XiaoMo comes out of seclusion, the winds of public opinion have already
changed directions.

Since the protagonist is not around, it's too unsatisfying to be not able to say it to his face. On top of
that, the thing with the demons happens, so no one talks about his situation anymore.
You XiaoMo has no idea that he had been pushed to where the wind and waves are strongest to
toss about for a few days.

After coming out, he hears the news about the demons. It has already been a few months since Ling
Xiao and Luo ShuHe led people to lay a siege on the demons' dark lair. The demons that have quieted
down came out again a few days ago to fan the flames of disorder.

Just as the Paradise realm is on the brink of opening, there is news of a surprise attack by the
demons. Because it was done in secret, and since everyone's attention was on the Paradise realm, the
level of alertness was not as high as before, resulting in a successful surprise attack.

There were quite a few towns that were attacked. Some from QingCheng sect, some from TianXin
sect, even the second class forces were attacked. It is said that even XingLuo group was attacked,
causing death and injury to quite a few disciples.

A lot of people are saying that the demons are acting up recently because they are targeting the trip
to the Paradise realm.

The Paradise realm is already very big. The instability of it's barriers may not be just at one site. It
must be said that the multitude of treasures in the Paradise realm is also very attractive to demons. So,
a month later, the demons would definitely send people into the Paradise realm. This means that the
dangers in the Paradise realm would not be limited to the traps and magic beasts found inside. The
wave of demons will also be a huge source of hidden danger.

But ------- fifty years ago, the demons definitely did not launch such a large scale attack on humans
like they did recently.

These recent movements by the demons, in the eyes of many shrewd people, is certainly because
something big is about to happen. As of late, the big thing that is causing the most excitement is the
Paradise realm.

Although nobody knows what the demons are aiming for, it definitely has something to do with the
Paradise realm. This also means that the danger for this trip to the Paradise realm is doubled.

The result of this deduction causes everyone to be in an uproar. The people who were fighting to go
to the Paradise realm suddenly start to hesitate.

If one adds in the demons, this uncertain element, the probability of death would increase greatly.
But this is just what a small fraction of cowardly people think. A few shrewder people can smell that
something is up.

You XiaoMo is not interested in conspiracy theories. Like what Ling Xiao says, he is someone with
a low IQ, unable to take part in conspiracies and the like. If you put him in with a group of smart
people, he would the first to be used as cannon fodder. So he is still diligently refining his magic
pills, increasing his strength.
Talking about that, it has almost been a month since he last saw Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was already very busy. With the surprise attack by the demons, he was again sent out by
Tang Fan. He probably won't be able to see him for some time.

This matter is no secret so You XiaoMo finds out easily after asking around. He can only give up
on his intention to go find Ling Xiao. But a surprising amount of magic pills are stored up in his magic
bag, all refined by him in these two months. Also, the one thousand stalks of magic herbs that Uncle
Zhao gave him over two months ago have also all been refined into magic pills by him.

The amount of magic pills is not little, and they are of many different types. Luckily he bought a few
hundred jade bottles in advance the last time he went down the mountain. Each jade bottle is filled
with ten to twenty magic pills. This way, he uses up about twenty jade bottles. On top of that are those
he refined for Ling Xiao and the extras. In one go, he uses up over a hundred.

After listening to the gossip from the disciple next door, You XiaoMo brings twenty jade bottles to
the Hall of Enchanted Herbs.

These days, a lot of people are coming in and out of the Hall of Enchanted Herbs. It's the first time
You XiaoMo has to line up to hand over the goods.

But just as he steps inside, a few disciples who were sitting idly at the side suddenly stand up and
rush to line up in front of him. Maybe they were lazing about because they didn't see anyone before
then.

You XiaoMo doesn't care. He is a rather law-abiding person so it is only natural to line up at the
back if you come last.

But those disciples clearly don't think that way. After rushing to stand in front of him, a few of them
immediately turn around to look at him smugly, as if to say, I've cut in front of you, so how?

You XiaoMo quietly sticks a dumbass label on their foreheads in his heart. Such a pathetic
provocation, what kind of reaction do they want? A provocation of this level, it can't be that he looks
like those brainless people that would take the bait?

Seeing You XiaoMo ignore their provocation, sparks of fury flash in the eyes of some of them.

At this moment, someone suddenly walks in the entrance. The moment he sees You XiaoMo, his
elegant face lights up. He runs over and smacks You XiaoMo on his shoulder.

"Seventh brother, you've finally come out."

You XiaoMo jumps in shock. Hearing the words Seventh brother, he knows who smacked him. It's
Fifth brother Zhao DaZhou because only Zhao DaZhou would call him Seventh brother. The others
would call him Little brother.

Speaking of Zhao DaZhou, now there is no more sign of the awkwardness from when they first
became friendly. The relationship between them is even better than that with Fang ChenLe. Sometimes
he would purposely run to see him and even consult with him regarding refining magic pills.

Although You XiaoMo feels helpless with regards to his sudden change in attitude, he is still very
happy in his heart. Having someone to talk over their experiences related to refining magic pills is
definitely better than going it alone. Furthermore, they each get something out of it.

But maybe because the benefits are really too great so Zhao DaZhou really made quite a lot of
progress. So every time he sees him, he would pull him excitedly to discuss their experiences.

What the hell, to such an extent that every time he sees him, he would instinctively feel like hiding.

You XiaoMo never knew that a man can also be so chatty. The moment he opens the floodgates, it
seems as if he can't stop. Furthermore, he can talk on and on by himself for one hour without having to
take a breather.

Fortunately Zhao DaZhou doesn't seem to want to discuss experiences this time.

His attention is on the few disciples lining up in front of him but he ignores them. Seeing that he is
in line, and the last one at that, he simply pulls him while saying, "Seventh brother, if you line up
like this, it would take you at least half and hour or so. Come with me."

Saying that, he walks away towards the counter.

You XiaoMo pauses for a bit, thinking it over before following him. He doesn't want to wait for
half an hour. Although he has the time, no one dislikes cutting in line. Really!

The moment he walks off, the other people notice him. Especially those few disciples who were
just provoking him, each and every one of them with black faces. But if it was someone else, they
would also feel very unsatisfied.

Although everyone is unhappy that You XiaoMo 'jumped queue', Zhao DaZhou was the one who
volunteered to help him. No matter how jealous or how unhappy they are, there is nothing they can do
to him.

Because the magic pills and magic herbs are recorded on two different books, Zhao DaZhou waits
for his father to pick up the magic herb book before picking up the magic pill book, and records it
down for him in no time.

But when he takes the twenty bottles of magic pills that You XiaoMo hands over to him, he can't
help being surprised, blurting out, "Seventh brother, there seems to be three hundred magic pills
here. Why are you handing in all of them?"

He has no idea that his father secretly gave him one month extra magic herbs.

The moment he says these words, everyone turns to look at them. Zhao Zhen also just remembers
this matter. He didn't tell his son about this matter, never expecting that it would come out at this
critical point.

You XiaoMo clearly also just remembers this matter. Sensing the suspicious looks the others are
giving him, he quickly explains, "I didn't finish using the magic herbs for last month. So I put the
amount from both months together to hand in at the same time."

This reason is very reasonable. Some people will actually do it this way so no one doubts him.
Zhao DaZhou also believes his words so he he pours the magic pills from the jade bottles into other
jade bottles before handing them back to him.

You XiaoMo is worried that Zhao DaZhou would again let something slip so he finds an excuse to
drag him out of the Hall of Enchanted Herbs.

But what has been leaked is already leaked. That is, You XiaoMo's one hundred percent success
rate in refining magic pills. Some people only realize it after leaving the Hall of Enchanted Herbs,
leaving them in a state of shock.

Chapter 151

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Jiang Liu advances.In the end, You XiaoMo's hundred percent rate of success refining magic pills
doesn't get spread around. Although it is a huge shock to those people, most of them don't believe it.
They think that You XiaoMo just got lucky this one time. Furthermore, the success rate for refining
low level magic pills is higher than that for mid-level and high level magic pills. So, this kind of thing
is not impossible. Still, most of them are jealous of You XiaoMo. Because none of them have ever
had this kind of 'luck', it is basically just their own selfish justifications.

But what they don't know is that these selfish reasons fit just right with You XiaoMo's wishes. He
really wishes that they not spread it around.

On the other side, after You XiaoMo drags Zhao DaZhou out, he tells him about the matter with the
magic herbs. Hearing that he almost caused trouble for his father, Zhao DaZhou jumps in fright, and
immediately promises not to shoot his mouth off again.

But after receiving such a scare, he remembers another matter.

Zhao DaZhou looks disapprovingly at You XiaoMo as he says, "Seventh brother, I already heard
about that matter. I already talked to you about it long ago. At that time, if you had agreed to let
me help you, you wouldn't get laughed at like this. Now, as it is, even I can't help you. Master
already decided on the five people."

You XiaoMo only realizes what he is talking about when he hears the last part.

He remembers that when he came out this morning, Brother Yang from next door told him that Zhao
DaZhou came to look for him yesterday morning. But at that time, he was locked in his room refining
magic pills so he didn't know that he came to look for him.

Looks like Fifth brother was looking for him because of this matter. But this kind of disgruntled talk
is already something he is used to listening to, so he already knows how to deal with him now.

You XiaoMo shrugs his shoulders indifferently, "Fifth brother, I already found another way
regarding this matter. You no longer have to be anxious for me."

Hearing these words, Zhao DaZhou frowns, "Seventh brother, the way you are talking about
can't be related to the Warrior division prodigy, Lin Xiao ba?"

He also has heard about the relationship between Seventh brother and Ling Xiao.

How sharp!

Although You XiaoMo is surprised at how sharp he is, it is not surprising. After all, the people he
has a good relationship with in TianXin sect is only these few. Furthermore, those that are capable of
helping him is so easy to figure out that one can do it using one's toes.

Zhao DaZhou knows that his guess is right when he sees that You XiaoMo is only smiling without
saying anything. He can't help from frowning deeper. He is someone that can't hold back his words so
in the end he can't stop himself from saying, "Seventh brother, there are some words that I know
you might not like to hear. But as your Brother, I feel that I should tell you."

"Tell me."

You XiaoMo sees that he is serious so he doesn't brush him off.

Zhao DaZhou says, "Seventh brother, I know that you have a very good relationship with Lin
Xiao. But I feel that that Lin Xiao is a little strange, not someone that is worthy of a deep
friendship."

He has always felt that an outstanding prodigy like Lin Xiao has no reason to take a liking to
someone as ordinary as Seventh brother. So, he is worried that Lin Xiao is getting close to Seventh
brother with some ulterior motive. Also, he can never figure out what exactly it is on You XiaoMo's
body that can attract him.

You XiaoMo smiles at him while saying, "Fifth brother, you don't have to worry. I know my
limits."

There are many people that want him to stay away from Ling Xiao but Zhao DaZhou is the first one
that wants him to stay away because he is worried about him. This kind of feeling is pretty good but
unfortunately, he can't tell him about the situation between them so he can only mislead him.

In Zhao DaZhou's eyes, these words are a little perfunctory but he doesn't lose hope. He also didn't
think that the relationship between those two would crumble just from his words.

In fact, there is something that he doesn't dare to tell You XiaoMo.

That matter is related to Master. Because of his dad, he knows that the five spots were already
decided upon a long time ago. A month ago, in fact. Master never planned on giving him a spot. From
the start, he never expected that he would be able to become a level three mage.

Zhao DaZhou feels that Master is acting without integrity in this matter. Although Seventh brother
really can't meet his demand, he also shouldn't act this way. No matter what, he is still his disciple.
Although he knows that Master can't possibly treat all his disciples equally, he also shouldn't be so
biased.

After chatting for a while, You XiaoMo takes his leave. On the way back, he stops by the library to
return a few books and borrow a few more before returning to his room.

The few days after that, You XiaoMo's daily life pass by with gentle winds and calm waves. Every
day, other than refining magic pills and taking care of magic herbs, he listens to the gossip from his
neighbor, Brother Yang. To him, listening to gossip has now become the only cure for his monotonous
life of cultivation.

As the proverb says, no enemies are forever.

In the beginning, the next door Brother Yang was also a little prejudiced against him. But after
living together for so long, their relationship finally eased up considerably. These days, the Brother
Yang next door will even sometimes come over on his own accord to tell him some gossip.

It's also thanks to him that You XiaoMo is up to date with a lot of news. Otherwise, with his
antisocial behavior, by the time the news gets to him, the matter would have been over a long time
ago.

You XiaoMo is a devoted listener. Brother Yang is able to get his satisfaction every time. As time
goes by, whenever Brother Yang gets hold of some gossip, he would come over to tempt him. But in
the end, he would still tell it to him.

Just like today -------

After coming back from his trip, You XiaoMo doesn't get the chance to return to his room before he
gets waylaid by Brother Yang. Brother Yang seems to be purposely waiting for him outside.

"Brother Yang, did you get some good information today?"

You XiaoMo looks at Yang Yi who is pulling him to a nearby pavilion. There are a few other
disciples already sitting in the pavilion. They are all disciples who live in the same place as him. It
could be said that they are on friendly terms.

Seeing them come over, a few disciples call them over eagerly, as if they are all waiting for Yang
Yi's gossip. It is indeed so. Among all of them, the one who is most well informed is Brother Yang.

Yang Yi picks up the cup of tea that one of the brothers had poured for him and takes a leisurely
sip.

Besides You XiaoMo, the other people are all staring wide-eyed at him. It's the same move every
time.

When Yang Yi feels that everyone is suitably excited, he puts down his tea cup with satisfaction,
and starts to speak, "Today I got a huge piece of gossip. You all know that the Paradise realm is
about to open. Our TianXin sect, as a major sect, has obtained quite a few spots. Each of the
three major Mage divisions also have spots ....... "

Speaking of the spots for the three major peaks, resentment bubbles up among some of the disciples
because Heaven peak has two more spots than Earth peak. But it is expected because the strength of
Heaven peak disciples are on the whole, higher than Earth peak. He who has wealth speaks louder
than others. They also have considerable resources so they are able to foster outstanding disciples.

But this is not what Yang Yi wants to talk about. This matter is no secret. Even if it wasn't
announced two months ago, they can also make the guess because it was also the same thing fifty
years ago.

What Yang Yi wants to talk about is regarding the younger generation disciples, the third
generation. Those like You XiaoMo, having entered the sect for less than ten years, are all designated
as third generation disciples.

"Yang Yi. We already know about the designated spots a long time ago. Why are you talking
about it?"

One of the disciples can't help cutting off his torrent of words.

"Don't be impatient ah. This is only the appetizer. I haven't reached the main dish ne. Keep
listening and you will know what I'm talking about."

As an avid gossiper, of course he knows how to build up the suspense. Otherwise, telling a story
too blandly is just too boring.

You XiaoMo looks at them in amusement. In reality, this Brother also knows that Yang Yi likes to
be like this when telling stories but he still can't help interrupting every time. It's clear how good
Yang Yi is at building up the anticipation.

Yang Yi continues speaking, "Do you all still remember the assessment at the Hall of Mages
two months ago?"

That Brother immediately says, "Of course. I still remember that so called genius from Heaven
peak, Jiang Liu losing to our Junior brother You in front of the three major sects. You guys
don't know how black the faces of the Heaven peak disciples were at that time. Yang Yi, it can't
be that you want to tell us about that ba?"

You XiaoMo frowns imperceptibly. After that assessment, he went down the mountain with Ling
Xiao soon after. So he also doesn't know what the effects were from that assessment. He also didn't
seem to hear anything about it after coming back so he also didn't bother about it.

"Nope, nope!"

Yang Yi beams as he wags his finger.

"What I want to talk about is what happened after. That day, after the disciples of Heaven
peak went back, according to my source, the most outstanding third generation disciple of
Heaven peak, Jiang Liu, from that day onwards would be like Younger brother You, going in
and out of seclusion. Rumor is that he seems to have received some sort of incitement."
Speaking of seclusion, Yang Yi glances questioningly at You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo feels a little awkward. In his past life, he was also a nerd, frequently holed-up in his
apartment. So he didn't think that being in seclusion would be a strange thing. He didn't expect that in
the eyes of his brothers, he has turned into a workaholic.

Hearing the last words of Yang Yi, the other disciples also start to laugh in their hearts.

Received what incitement? One doesn't even need to think to figure it out. That assessment can be
said to be the only time in countless years when Earth peak could feel proud and elated in the face of
Heaven peak. Thinking about it now, they can still feel how unbelievably good it felt.

Yang Yi smiles as he says, "Heaven peak also seems to have felt that their image was ruined.
From that time onwards, they went all out to train their third generation disciples. Actually, it's
mostly focused on Jiang Liu because Jiang Liu is the Heaven peak master's direct disciple. In
order to let him become even stronger, the peak's master ordered that he would have access to
unlimited magic herbs. Not like us, limited to thirty stalks of magic herbs each day."

Speaking about the last bit, Yang Yi can't keep the sour tone out of his words.

The smiles on the faces of a few disciples also disappear slightly, their jealousy showing clearly
on their faces.

The only one not jealous is You XiaoMo. He already knew a long time ago that someone with Jiang
Liu's innate talent would definitely be given special treatment. A disciple with good innate talent
would not be treated miserly by the Mage division when it comes to magic herbs. This bit, he can
already tell from the way Kong Wen treats Elder brother and Second brother.

"Brother Yang, it can't be that what you want to say is related to Jiang Liu? It can't be that
he has advanced?"

You XiaoMo thinks about Yang Yi's words and can't help speculating. Even Heaven peak's master
treats Jiang Liu with so much importance. Becoming a level three mage in two months is not
impossible.

Yang Yi's expression changes slightly. He smiles wryly saying, "You only got it half right but it's
close. Two days ago, I heard that Jiang Liu is going to advance very soon. Rumor is that the day
is near, so he also managed to get one of the spots."

The disciples can't help but gasp.

Becoming a level three mage in a little over two months. This speed can really break the hundred
years old record of the Mage division. Even Elder brother and Second brother weren't so freakish.

If Jiang Liu really succeeds in advancing, Heaven peak will again have the upper hand. Earth peak,
as the deadly enemy of Heaven peak, will definitely be looked down upon again until they can't raise
their heads. Although Jiang Liu's success cannot be separated from the ability of Heaven peak to
support his training, it still can't be denied.

Once the story is told, everyone's interest disappears and they soon disperse.

You XiaoMo also bids goodbye to a few brothers before returning to his room. As for Jiang Liu, if
Brother Yang didn't bring it up this time, he would have forgotten all about him. If Jiang Liu is really
going to the Paradise realm, there is a chance they would bump into each other when the time comes.

Towards this fellow villager, You XiaoMo has very complex feelings.

At the start, he really did have the mindset to get along well with his fellow villager. But after a
few interactions, he felt that, the differences between peaks do exist. Although he and Jiang Liu are
fellow villagers, there is not much there between them. Also, they live in different circles so sooner
or later, they would grow to be more like those around them. So after going through that episode in the
library, You XiaoMo decided to not get close to Jiang Liu to avoid being caught in difficult situations.

As for Jiang Liu's speed in advancement, comparing it with his own speed makes him feel secretly
delighted.

Although Jiang Liu will soon become a level three mage, he has already been a level three mage
for a few months. Now he is working to become a level four mage. As for him having a Master that
treats him especially well, he is not the least bit jealous. Because he has someone that treats him even
better than the way Jiang Liu's master treats him ....... Ling Xiao.

Having this name jump out suddenly in his mind, You XiaoMo is immediately shocked, his eyes full
of surprise.

He seems to already be more and more accepting of Ling Xiao's existence. Furthermore, every time
something crops up or every time he thinks of something, every thought would lead to him. Looks like
the one that really changed is himself .......

Chapter 152

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Flower thiefAfter that day, there is a significant change in the way You XiaoMo thinks.

This is the first time he seriously thinks about the relationship between him and Ling Xiao. At first,
it was because he accidentally uncovered Ling Xiao's disguise, so they were bound together. After
that, because of this and that, the relationship between him and Ling Xiao is no longer purely between
the one being threatened and the one doing the threatening.

To call them partners, they are not the same as usual partners because what kind of partner would
help the other partner find release and those kinds of ambiguous things. What more since they are both
men.

So now, thinking back on it, he actually can't figure it out. What kind of relationship does he have
with Ling Xiao? A relationship that is more than just partners?

He unconsciously thinks of the wicked and crafty smile on Ling Xiao's face when he grasped his
little brother. You XiaoMo immediately sprays out blood all over his face from his imagination. The
imagery is too vivid. Please allow him to recover from his blood loss before he can straighten out his
thoughts.

With his thinking all sixes and sevens, You XiaoMo is unable to sleep at night. But then he also
frequently doesn't sleep.

This night, You XiaoMo tosses and turns on the bed. He clearly wants to sleep but his mind is
unable to calm down. His bright black eyes are open wide staring at the top of his bed. His mind is
all jumbled up like knotted intestines. Two characters, Ling Xiao, shine and glitter in his mind. Other
than these two characters, nothing else can be made out.

You XiaoMo crosses his legs and sticks one foot in the air. If he had a blade of grass, he may even
hang it from his mouth to create the slovenly image of the wealthy second generation. It's a pity that he
doesn't have the assets to be a member of the wealthy second generation.

But You XiaoMo still slowly draws out a relationship diagram in his mind.

Suppose that his relationship with Ling Xiao is one between servant and master. Because at the
beginning he was indeed being controlled by Ling Xiao.

Later, because Ling Xiao found out about his secret, the relationship between them slowly started
to evolve, no longer one of master and servant. Ling Xiao also doesn't seem to treat him as a slave or
servant or the like, frequently running over to his side. Even helping to increase his strength, bringing
him a volume of alchemical techniques to increase his soul force from who knows where, although at
that time, his actions seem to indicate that he is doing it for his own benefit.
Later, when they went down the mountain together, because of the physiological phenomenon of a
man's morning wood, they came into particularly close contact with each other.

At that time, his heart was very against it but .......

Thinking up to here, You XiaoMo suddenly lets out a half-hearted guilty laugh. Looks like he was
against it in the beginning, but now, he seems to be half willing, half unwilling.

Fine ba. He admits that he has fallen.

Mutually helping each other, this matter, really has a very awesome feeling. On top of that, Ling
Xiao would guide him from time to time. Now, he already isn't very resistant to two men doing these
kinds of things.

Actually, he isn't stupid. He can see clearly on certain matters. It's just that his personality is like
that. Every time he comes across something troublesome, he would unconsciously push it aside or
ignore it altogether. This behavior can't be separated from his family from his previous life. But he
doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. He likes to adapt to circumstances. He likes to live a
peaceful life. He likes to peacefully and quietly ....... wait to die.

If he looks for justice every time something unfair happens, he feels that he would be trapped in
suffering whether it is this life or the last. So, instead of tormenting himself, wouldn't it be better to be
a little relaxed. He goes his way while the others can go and die ba!

So his purpose in life is to treasure life, cherish being alive, and stay far away from brainless
people!

But these are the principles for his past life. For this life, he added one more clause. That is -------
to love life, love being alive, love gold coins, and stay far away from brainless people!

The above, is his ultimate realization for this lifetime!

But after today, he is suddenly not so certain. In his heart, he hesitates over adding another clause to
the principles of his life, 'cling desperately to Ling Xiao's thigh'?

Just as he is having all kinds of wild thoughts, Ling Xiao's detestable smiling face seems to flash
before his eyes. Clearly so fake. Why is it that he is the only one that can see it? He has always
wondered. Can it be that his IQ is too high?

Just at this moment, You XiaoMo smells a faint fragrance .......

In the middle of the darkness, You XiaoMo's bright and shining eyes are like two extremely bright
stars inlaid in the middle of the night sky. It's just that this type of appearance quickly disappears, the
two eyes seem to lose their focus, turning hollow, seemingly soulless.

After a while, the tightly locked door somehow starts to creak *yi ya* softly. The moonlight
stretches into the room quietly from the crack of the door, falling brightly on the floorboards. A black
figure walks in silently.

The black figure walks without making any noise, lithely gliding past the screen. Very quickly, he
sees You XiaoMo who is lying motionlessly on the bed, as if sleeping. The black figure pays no
attention to him, checking all corners of the room, as if looking for something. But it seems he doesn't
find what he is looking for so he once again sets his sights on You XiaoMo lying on the bed.

The wandering gaze of the black figure very quickly settles on the magic bag at You XiaoMo's
waist. As if assuring himself that he wouldn't realize, the black figure simply takes of the magic bag at
his waist.

Just as he is about to examine the contents inside the magic bag, the sound of something cutting
across the air is heard. The speed is extremely fast. In an instant, it pierces through the window on the
right side of the black figure.

The black figure is shocked. Because he reacts too slowly, his left hand that is holding the magic
back is struck by a stone causing his left hand to go numb, dropping the magic bag onto the floor. The
black figure is in no condition to pick it up, and immediately runs away from You XiaoMo's room.

The person hidden in the shadows doesn't seem to have any plans to give chase, letting him run
away just like that.

After a few breaths, a white figure walks into the room through the wide open door. Quietly, he
closes the door. Walking in he sees You XiaoMo lying on the bed, safe and sound. His eyes are still
wide open but they are unfocussed.

The white figure sits down at the side of the bed. His five long and slender fingers stroke his face
gently. After making sure that nothing is wrong, he lets out a rather imperceptible sigh. His line of
sight shifts to the magic bag on the floor. Bending down, he picks it up but he doesn't check to see
what is inside the magic bag. He simply fastens it back on You XiaoMo's waist.

"Stupid egg. Already so careful and you still get targeted. Looks like Earth peak is no longer a
safe place."

The white figure's lips are slightly parted, as if talking to himself. However, his gaze is fixed on
You XiaoMo's childish face who has now closed his eyes. This time if not because he detected
someone touching the barrier he cloaked around You XiaoMo's room in the dead of night, he wouldn't
have been able to get here so quickly.

The one who can cloak You XiaoMo's room with a barrier can only be Ling Xiao. Luckily that
person did not intend to hurt You XiaoMo. But to take his magic bag, clearly the fact that some secret
is hidden on You XiaoMo's body has already been discovered.

But Ling Xiao understands You XiaoMo's character very well. Although he is very stupid, he
knows not to let others know about his assets. Then how did that black figure find out?
It's a pity that Ling Xiao is not together with You XiaoMo every day. So even with his heavenly
capabilities, he doesn't know how that person found out. In order to avoid this kind of thing from
happening again, Ling Xiao makes a decision.

The next day, You XiaoMo opens his eyes under the glare of dazzling rays of light.

What enters his eyes is not the top of his bed. Instead it is a solid expanse of someone's chest. The
sound of heartbeats *dong dong dong* is transmitted, strong and forceful. Raising his head he sees the
familiar face that he can even dream about in his dreams .......

You XiaoMo is stunned. He thinks that he must be dreaming early in the morning. He closes his
eyes again but the sound of heartbeats can be heard next to his ear, beating rhythmically and
unendingly. He shakes in surprise. A certain someone finally wakes up. His first reaction is to move
backwards hastily. But he forgets that his bed is not that big, and tumbles down to the ground. His
wide open terrified eyes reflect Ling Xiao's beaming face.

A few seconds later, You XiaoMo is sprawled on Ling Xiao, catching his breath.

He was really terrified. Last night, he was thinking of this person. And then this morning, he wakes
up to see him. Really like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. But when did he climb onto his bed? Why
doesn't he have any recollection of that?

After calming down, all sorts of doubts start to surface in his heart.

Last night, he was clearly thinking over something, feeling quite alright. But he seems to have fallen
asleep all of a sudden?

"How did you end up on my bed?"

You XiaoMo raises his head and glares angrily at Ling Xiao. He feels like his brain is a piece of
tape. Moving along until it hits a jam. Then everything that comes after is completely erased from his
memory.

"You, don't remember?"

Ling Xiao suddenly looks hurt.

You XiaoMo's lips twitches fiercely. What kind of development is this ah? Why does he feel like a
man and woman shared a room and the next day the woman is asking him to take responsibility?

But ....... he still unconsciously feels below his waist. As a result .......

"Haha!!"

Ling Xiao throws back his head and laughs out loud, his chest shaking endlessly. It's quite a while
before he hugs his heads and swings him a few times, "Little brother, why is your reaction so cute
ne!"
You XiaoMo, " ....... "

After waiting for him to stop laughing, You XiaoMo puts on a straight face and says, "You still
haven't told me how you ended up on my bed."

Hateful fellow. Actually making fun of him again. Sure enough the good feelings he had for him last
night is all an illusion.

Ling Xiao suddenly stops laughing and looks at him seriously while saying, "Little brother, do you
know that last night you were almost plucked by a flower thief!"

You XiaoMo looks at him while opening and closing his mouth, " ....... "

Chapter 153

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

'Genius'This fellow is really just trying to trick him ba?

You XiaoMo seriously doubts his words. But he has no way of explaining how he showed up in his
bed with no rhyme or reason. Yesterday, he heard that Ling Xiao is busy and today he's here in front
of him. He doesn't look the least bit like what he heard, so busy until his feet don't touch the ground.

You XiaoMo who has been fooled by him so many times finds himself not believing him ninety nine
percent.

Flower thief and what not. Does he really think he is a three year old child? This is TianXin sect.
Even though Earth peak's security may not be as tight as the library, what flower thief would
purposely run to TianXin sect to pick flowers?

Unless he is complaining that his life is too long, before making up lies, he should first make a
preliminary draft.

You XiaoMo criticizes him in his heart, looking at Ling Xiao with an expression that clearly says 'I
don't believe your words'.

Ling Xiao pretends not to see it and beams while saying, "Seeing that flower thieves are showing
up here, I have decided. I will find a time to move here to sleep together with you. That's how it
is."

From head to tail, the person in question, You XiaoMo, has not uttered a single word and Ling Xiao
already decided everything. This is clearly an affront to basic human rights as well as outright
tyranny!

"No way!"

You XiaoMo can't restrain his anger. It's bad enough that Ling Xiao is always bullying him. Now he
has to see him everyday? Wouldn't that mean he won't have any personal space? There is no way he
wants that!

"As a considerate man, I value your opinion. Say which part is not alright? We can discuss it
further."

Ling Xiao smiles as he speaks amiably, as if it is just as he says, that he is a considerate man.

Hearing his words, You XiaoMo feels that he is like a woman. Fine ba. Before even starting the
'negotiations' he is already at a disadvantage. This is definitely not good for the 'negotiations' so he
has to find a way to turn the tables.
You XiaoMo thinks deeply for a bit and then says with a serious expression, "Since you value my
opinion, I'll say it. I feel it won't do. Your status now is the Grand disciple of TianXin sect. If
people find out that you are running here to sleep in the middle of the night, what would they
think of us? Wouldn't my reputation be ruined by you?"

Ling Xiao looks at him curiously, "Little brother, you have a reputation that can be ruined?"

You XiaoMo pouts. In reality, he doubts is he has any reputation left to ruin. After all, with so many
things happening, the people of TianXin sect have long ago considered him as Ling Xiao's. Even the
Yellow River cannot wash away the filth on his body.

But he ultimately believes that 'what is clear will be cleared, what is muddy will remain muddy',
so he doesn't want his reputation to be ruined any further. He still wants to wash it white ne!

"Little brother ah!"

Ling Xiao suddenly heaves an exaggerated emotional sigh. When he looks over, he uses an
aggrieved tone to say, "Do you not believe my words?"

"It would be strange if I do."

You XiaoMo sees he is changing the topic so he doesn't laugh *ha ha* along with him.

Ling Xiao immediately gives him a 'I knew it would be like this' expression, "Don't tell me that
in your heart, I am that kind of person that would run over here to sleep with you with no rhyme
or reason?"

The corner of You XiaoMo's eye twitches suddenly. These words ....... why do they sound so
suggestive? But he still nods his head, "Yes!"

Ling Xiao is silent for a bit, "I admit, there are special circumstances sometimes, but you also
know that I have been very busy recently. Otherwise, I wouldn't have not come to see you for
over a month. In this situation, why would I come running over for no reason? Even if I want to
come over, I would choose to come when you haven't gone to sleep, right?"

You XiaoMo freezes for a moment. Seems like, there is really some truth to that.

He thinks back for a bit. Ling Xiao doesn't seem to have ever appeared when he is sleeping. Most
of the time, he seems to know before hand, always skipping over the times when he is asleep. It must
be said that he sometimes sleeps during the day.

But, to convince him that there really is a flower thief is impossible!

Seeing that he still doesn't believe, he simply uses his killer mace, "Little brother, if you still
don't believe, go take a look at the side of the window. Do you not see a hole the size of an index
finger?"
You XiaoMo glances at him doubtfully, walking over while feeling uncertain. Sure enough he finds
a hole at the window. The hole is about the size of an index finger. But the hole is not in the paper of
the window but rather on the window frame.

Although a part of his memory from last night is gone, he still remembers that the hole was not there
last night when he closed the window. Furthermore, only a cultivator can create such an even hole.
That is to say, there is a possibility that someone broke into his room last night.

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo believes Ling Xiao seventy percent. But what he doesn't know is
that the flower thief is currently right in front of him.

Ling Xiao can tell from a glance what he is thinking, so he immediately presses on, "Little
brother, do you still remember that I left a barrier outside your room ba? Last night, I felt that
someone touched it so I rushed here as fast as I could. Otherwise ....... "

Saying the last bit, he purposely concentrates his gaze on his body.

You XiaoMo instantly feels his hairs stand on end, his face turning deathly pale, "But ....... isn't
this TianXin sect ah?"

He already believes Ling Xiao's words. It's just that his heart is unwilling to believe that this kind
of thing can happen. What more, happen to his body. A man's chastity can also be in danger?

The corner of Ling Xiao's lips lifts up as he smiles, "How do you know that the flower thief isn't
someone from TianXin sect?"

You XiaoMo immediately stutters, unable to form any words.

In the end, You XiaoMo is fooled by Ling Xiao successfully. Although it is not a flower thief, that
person really has his eyes on him. Furthermore, that person is most probably someone from TianXin
sect.

Ling Xiao doesn't tell him because he has other plans. But he warns him not to place valuable
things or things that should not be seen by others in his magic bag.

You XiaoMo doesn't realize anything. He only tells him not to worry. He himself knows that he
must be careful. After all, there are too many secrets on his body. So, all along, he has only put magic
herbs he got from the Hall of Enchanted Herbs or the magic pills refined from those magic herbs
inside his magic bag. They are all very ordinary things. Even if the magic bag gets lost, it's not that
big of a deal.

After listening to his words, Ling Xiao is more and more convinced of his intuition.

Because Ling Xiao came over secretly, he doesn't stay too long. A while later, he goes back to
WuShuang mountain.
As soon as he leaves, You XiaoMo starts to feel out of sorts. He feels that the things that happened
today and last night were very bizarre. Although he knows that Ling Xiao is very capable of
convincing someone that what is black is white, he still chooses to believe him.

There is a saying in his hometown. It goes 'better to believe the worst, and be pleasantly surprised,
than to be optimistic and learn the worst'!

After that strange night, You XiaoMo's daily life returns back to normal.

With the opening of the Paradise realm drawing near, all over TianXin sect, there is more and more
tension in the air. Earth peak is no exception. But after not too long, something happens that breaks
this atmosphere.

That is the day when Heaven peak master's disciple, Jiang Liu, has a breakthrough.

In the very short span of under a year, Jiang Liu leaps from a level one mage to a level three mage.
Although he is still a low level mage, but throughout the whole TianXin sect, and even QingCheng
sect and other major sects, where can you find such a genius that can advance two consecutive levels
within a year?

The answer is nowhere!

Furthermore, Jiang Liu took a little over four months to go from level one mage to level two mage.
And then from level two to level three, he also only took a little over four months.

As everyone knows, the higher the mage level, the harder it is to advance.

Therefore, since he is able to become a level three mage within the same timeframe, this is
undeniably Heaven peak's record and glory!

As soon as this news spreads, the whole TianXin sect, top and bottom, are all shocked.

Becoming a level three mage in three months, is undeniably a genius of geniuses. Even those who
were praised as geniuses before from the three major peaks were never this amazing.

Jiang Liu becomes unbelievably famous. His fame surpasses the number one dark position on the
billboard charts, You XiaoMo. For a time, there is no longer talk of You XiaoMo. Instead, more and
more people are talking about Jiang Liu.

You XiaoMo hears the neighboring Brother Yang Yi say that Jiang Liu is now very cocky since
everyone in TianXin sect is treating him as precious treasure. He is even acclaimed as TianXin sect's
most outstanding and most excellent disciple in a hundred years. His fame is unequalled.

When Yang Yi says these words, his tone is so sour that You XiaoMo's teeth turns soft just from
listening to him. But in reaction to this information, his only response is to laugh *he he*, with no
further comments.
Yang Yi assumes that he is speechless because he is jealous, because he himself is feeling jealousy,
envy, and hate.

Ever since the news about Jiang Liu got out, every time Heaven peak disciples come across Earth
peak disciples, the attitude would be so exaggerated that it would flip the heavens. With toes lifted
high and haughty manners, it gives them an itchy feeling in their teeth from hate.

If not for their heads telling them they can't be rash, they would have definitely punched their front
teeth to a pulp.

Just three days after the news broke, You XiaoMo only has to step outside and his ears would
receive news about Jiang Liu. This person who used to give him the feeling of the boy next door now
has an even higher status than Tang YunQi in Heaven peak.

Thinking of this, he can't help remembering that time in WuShuang mountain when Jiang Liu was
threatened by Tang YunQi. Now that he is favored by the Master of the Peak, it won't be easy for Tang
YunQi to bully him anymore.

After a few more days, the winds of public discussion finally change direction again.

Because the news about the exact opening of the Paradise realm is out.

Chapter 154

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Set out.Although Earth peak only has five designated spots, everyone in Earth peak, top and bottom,
are all very happy.

You XiaoMo only hears about the five chosen people yesterday from Brother Yang. Elder brother
and Second brother were decided a long time ago. So there are only three remaining spots. Two of
them are disciples from Earth peak's other Elders. The person chosen for the last spot is someone You
XiaoMo did not expect. It's Sixth brother, Mao Can.

After that, after asking around, he finds out why it is.

At first, to appear fair, Kong Wen only gave each Elder one spot. Because if he gives an extra spot
to either of them, the other one won't be happy. So Kong Wen simply gives that spot to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen has been in charge of the Hall of Enchanted Herbs for many years. His contribution to
Earth peak is also quite significant. Giving him the spot is only right. After hearing this, the two
Elders no longer make a fuss.

But this was only decided by Kong Wen and company the day before. Zhao DaZhou also only found
out about it yesterday.

As for why You XiaoMo knows that Zhao DaZhou doesn't know, it's because last night Zhao
DaZhou came looking for him. Knowing that his dad has a spot, the first one he thinks of is him. He
indicated that he can ask his dad to give the spot to him.

Regarding this, You XiaoMo doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really doesn't understand
why Zhao DaZhou is so eager to give the spot to him. But he really can't accept it. Put aside that Ling
Xiao already secured a spot for him. If Uncle Zhao really gives the spot to him, Kong Wen is bound to
get offended. He can't be part of that.

You XiaoMo can't help asking, "Fifth brother, why do you insist on giving me the spot?"

Zhao DaZhou is momentarily taken aback. Without any warning, his face turns red. It's a while
before he mumbles softly, "Isn't there a saying that one should not let one's own fertile waters
flow into the fields of others? That ....... actually I also have my reasons."

You XiaoMo is stunned. He simply never thought that this could be the reason. But hearing the
words he adds on at the end, he knows that this Fifth brother is being awkward again. Can it be that he
is afraid that he would object?

"Fine ba, what is your reason?"


He relents and asks.

Zhao DaZhou rolls his eyes here and there while saying, "You also know that my dad has always
been worried about my safety. If I can form a bond with a magic beast, the old man would be
able to stop worrying. So, I was thinking, if you chance upon a magic beast in the Paradise
realm, maybe you can help me get one to the best of your ability bei. Whatever level is not
important to me."

As he finishes speaking, his eyes start to be evasive.

At first, this wasn't his intention. He purely had a stroke of inspiration making up an excuse for You
XiaoMo. But what he said is not entirely an excuse. In reality, he really does want a magic beast.

It's just that once he finishes speaking, he himself starts to feel embarrassed so he added that the
level doesn't matter. What he doesn't know is that his words sparks an idea in You XiaoMo.

In the end, You XiaoMo still doesn't accept his good intentions. He doesn't want to make it difficult
for Uncle Zhao. Seeing his resolve, Zhao DaZhou doesn't say anything anymore.

That night, after sending off Zhao DaZhou, You XiaoMo starts to pack his things.

Although Ling Xiao said that he would move in with him a few days ago, he didn't carry it out
immediately. You XiaoMo can also roughly guess the reason why. He must be too busy. But this suits
him just fine.

But not long after Zhao DaZhou leaves, Ling Xiao also came to see him. The reason is precisely to
talk about the opening of the Paradise realm. He told him that he already made the necessary
preparations. He asked him to pack up his things and then go to the foot of Earth peak this afternoon
and wait for him. When the time comes, he would go pick him up.

Because the opening of the Paradise realm is close at hand, in order to arrive beforehand, TianXin
sect and the other sects would set out two days before. So the date to set out is set for this afternoon.
They would most probably arrive the morning after tomorrow, if nothing unexpected happens.

When You XiaoMo is making his preparations, other people are also making theirs.

You XiaoMo hears that the one leading the Earth peak disciples this time is Kong Wen. But because
Kong Wen is a level eight mage with half a foot inside the level nine domain, he is also subject to the
restrictions, like for martial artists.

Speaking about Paradise realm's restrictions for mages, You XiaoMo only found out about it after
asking Ling Xiao. Before, he only knows that the Paradise realm has entry restrictions for martial
artists. The universal restriction is Star level and below. So Celestial level and above are all banned
from entering. But the restriction is also similarly effective against mages.

Mages are the same as martial artists. Divided into twelve levels. Star level corresponds to a level
six mage. Kong Wen is a level eight mage so he can't enter. Hence, he can only bring the disciples
until outside Paradise realm.

This is undoubtedly good news to You XiaoMo. Because he doesn't want to bump into Kong Wen
inside the Paradise realm. If that happens, it would be very awkward for him.

After that, You XiaoMo calmly waits for the time to set out. But he is worried that he would miss it
so he doesn't dare to refine magic pills. Because once he starts to refine magic pills, he would easily
lose sense of time. He doesn't want most of the group to have left before he realizes that he himself
has been left behind.

But he clearly forgot one thing. If he can't find him, Ling Xiao would certainly come up to look for
him.

There is still half an hour to go. It's time for the people to assemble.

You XiaoMo opens the room door. It's very quiet all around. After making sure there is no one
around, he tiptoes away quietly.

Not long before, Brother Yang came to find him. At that time he wanted to ask him to go together to
join in the fun. But he was refused by You XiaoMo because he wants to go to the foot of the mountain
to wait for Ling Xiao. But he doesn't want others to know so he can only do it in secret. Yang Yi also
doesn't think much about it. Seeing that he doesn't want to go, he leaves with the other disciples.

The foot of Earth peak is not far away, approximately a five minute walk.

You XiaoMo has only been waiting for two minutes before Ling Xiao appears behind him. He
almost punched him in shock. Actually, he really wants to do it but after considering the
consequences, he restrains himself.

"Little brother, you're so punctual."

Ling Xiao hugs his waist from behind and buries his head in his neck. He rubs his face on him as
his voice is rather languid.

You XiaoMo rolls his eyes at him. I'm not you. Do you think everyone is like you?

"Elder brother Ling, are we going straight or are we going to join everyone else?"

You XiaoMo asks. The everyone else he is talking about is obviously the Warrior division and the
mage division. The combat ability of mages is very weak. So they would definitely set out together
with the Warrior division.

"No need. I made an excuse to let them go set out without waiting for me. After that, 'Junior
brother Zhou' and I will make our way there."

Ling Xiao says. This is what he told You XiaoMo he would do beforehand. As long as you strike
first to gain the advantage, when the time comes, even if Tang Fan objects to him bringing You
XiaoMo in with him, it would be too late.

You XiaoMo knows that the "Junior brother Zhou' he speaks of is himself. Although it has all
been arranged, he still feels that it is not quite right. He can't help from feeling troubled,
saying, "Is it fine to do it like this?"

Ling Xiao knows what he is referring to. He laughs, "Don't worry. Zhou Peng himself agreed.
Furthermore I already agreed to find a magic beast with high combat ability for him."

Zhou Peng is actually quite a good person. No matter what he says, he would agree without
hesitation although he is curious as to why he wants to treat You XiaoMo so well. But, the moment he
hears that he wants to bring You XiaoMo to the Paradise realm, he immediately gave him his spot.
Although his loyalty is to Lin Xiao, and not him, but because he is loyal to Lin Xiao, he doesn't mind
helping him increase his strength.

"As for Tang Fan, I've already figured out how to deal with it."

Ling Xiao's lips curve up in a gentle smile mixed with a hint of evil. That hint of evil wipes away
the assuring look from his face, leaving him looking even more dangerous.

He knows that Tang Fan would definitely object to him bringing You XiaoMo into the Paradise
realm. It may even cause him to dislike him. But so what. He has already found the person he wants to
find. By the time the matter with Paradise realm is over, he may have already brought You XiaoMo
away with him.

Ling Xiao speaks as if he has a well thought out plan so You XiaoMo pouts a few times
wordlessly.

A while later, the both of them reach the foot of TianXin sect. Tang Fan already set out with the
whole group of people.

All the larger winged birds were already taken away by them. Only the smaller ones are left. Most
of them can only seat three. Ling Xiao asks Steward Li to give them a winged bird that can seat three.
In no time, the winged bird carrying them soars up to the skies.

Steward Li on the ground shows a puzzled look. The Grand Master clearly told him that it would
be the third generation disciples Lin Xiao and Zhou Peng. How did it change to Lin Xiao and Earth
peak's You XiaoMo?

Steward Li can't make any sense of it after thinking it over a hundred times. Too bad no one gives
him the answer.

The speed of the winged bird is very fast. The swift figure weaves through the clouds. Only a vast
expanse of whiteness lies in front of them as the wind whistles past their ears.
Luckily it's not winter. Otherwise, the ice cold wind whipping past his face would be very painful.
But You XiaoMo is still not too used to the speed of the winged birds. Every time he takes one, he has
to cover his face. With his half-closed eyes he looks over at Ling Xiao beside him with jealousy,
envy, and hate.

Ling Xiao is elegantly yet languidly leaning back on the chair with his long and slender legs
hanging over the front seat. His laidback appearance really makes a certain person jealous.

You XiaoMo finally understands why he chose a winged bird that can seat three. Looks like this is
the reason. How hateful. He also wants to do that!

As if sensing the resentment coming from a certain someone, Ling Xiao tilts his head to look at You
XiaoMo. He points to the empty space in his arms, raising the corner of lips while saying, "Little
brother, do you want to sit here?"

You XiaoMo imagines for a moment how it would look like if he sits there. His face immediately
turns red. Wouldn't that mean he would be straddling Ling Xiao? He glares at him in anger and shame,
tearing his head open, "Don't want!"

"Really don't want? My arms are very comfortable oh."

Ling Xiao persists, getting up halfway to lean towards his ear. His ambiguous breath teasing his
sensitive earlobe. Then he looks with satisfaction as his ears turn bright red and spreads to his cheeks
and neck.

"I said I don't want means I don't want."

You XiaoMo is shamed to anger, pushing him away.

After being pushed away, Ling Xiao doesn't insist. Instead he smiles like a cat that caught a fish and
leans back on the chair. He says leisurely, "Little brother, I know you are very shy. It's alright. My
arms are forever open wide for you. You can throw yourselves in my arms any time you want."

You XiaoMo bares his teeth with lips drawn. He won't ever throw himself in his arms of his own
accord.

Ling Xiao seems to be able to understand the look in his eyes. But he only smiles without saying
anything. There is nothing absolute in this word. As the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a
way ah!

As a result, the minute night falls, You XiaoMo shrinks into Ling Xiao's arms of his own accord. It
can't be helped, this person is rather afraid of the cold. Although there are clothes in his magic bag,
the thin flimsy things are simply unable to ward off the cold air of the night. It's not as effective as
Ling Xiao, this magnificent wall of flesh.

As for Ling Xiao, this is his long awaited moment. He confidently hugs the person as if it is his
right. Saying that it's to keep him warm, he rubs him once over all over his body, not forgetting his
little brother. Or it should be said, paying most attention to the little brother. As a result, You XiaoMo
passes the night feeling hot and bothered, seriously overheated.

The next day, he wakes up in Ling Xiao's arms. His first reaction is to hit him. When he covers his
chest, he uses the opportunity to run into his dimension to take a bath.

Ling Xiao didn't take off his clothes when he played with him last night because he was afraid that
he would catch a cold from the cold air. As a result, he released inside his clothes. When he woke up
this morning, his whole body was feeling uncomfortable.

The second night, Ling Xiao is still planning on using the same old trick. But You XiaoMo doesn't
give him the chance because he realizes that what he did last night was stupid. Clearly he can hide
inside his dimension and not subject himself to this kind of torture. He only has to make sure he
doesn't use his soul to move his dimension and he would be able to come back out on the winged
bird.

So, Ling Xiao spends a very desolate night all alone with the *se se* rustling wind.

The next day, You XiaoMo comes out to see Ling Xiao beaming at him. That handsome face shows
no sign of resentment from being left in the cold. Instead, there is an unfathomable hint of excitement.
Rays of light are coming out of the eyes looking at him making his scalp feel numb. He thinks of a
ravenous wolf that has caught sight of its prey. Why is it so terrifying!

Then, as his heart is seized with terror and trembling in fear, the winged bird reaches its
destination.

Chapter 155

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Ten thousand python demon plain.Although the Paradise realm is called the Paradise realm, the
place where it is located is a hundred percent dangerous.

Because the Paradise realm is located in the Ten thousand python demon plain. It is said that other
than the Doomsday Forest, it is the second most dangerous place. Inside, there is the old nest of
pythons. The whole demon plain is occupied by thousands and ten thousands of evil heavenly pythons.
The strongest ones are level nine, equivalent to Celestial level fighters.

Because it is so, every time the Paradise realm opens, Tang Fan will lead the way, just like fifty
years ago. QingCheng sect and XingLuo group are also like that. Unless there is a Emperor level and
above practitioner present, only then will that level nine evil heavenly python of the Ten thousand
python demon plain not dare to appear.

You XiaoMo stands on top of the winged bird. He looks into the distance at the Ten thousand
python demon plain, and gets a huge shock.

The whole Ten thousand python demon plain's terrain is like an exceptional in heaven and earth
colossal python. Its serpentine form is entrenched in the middle, from East to West, cutting of mankind
from the Ten thousand python demon plain. In the middle of the majestic mountain range, bursts of
grey smoke rise up continuously, much like the grey smoke that fills the air before a volcano erupts.

Behind this mountain range is the territory of the evil heavenly python, and that's the only magic
beast found there. All other magic beasts don't dare to step into there because they will be poisoned
to death by the grey smoke without the need for the evil heavenly python to make an appearance.

But the strange thing is that the grey smoke that rises up from the mountain range has never spread
out of the Ten thousand python demon plain. That is to say, as long as practitioners don't enter into the
demon plain on their own, even if they stand on the edge of the Ten thousand python demon plain, they
would not be poisoned by the grey smoke.

So, when You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao arrive, they see a group of people assembled at the edge of
the Ten thousand python demon plain.

Among the group of people, there is a group of people that You XiaoMo is familiar with. They are
those that came over earlier, Tang Fan and his group of people.

With this glance, You XiaoMo realizes that the number of spots TianXin sect has is forty to fifty
people. Subtracting the ten or so mages, there are thirty over from the Warrior division. A huge group
of people standing there, extremely eye-catching, especially Tang Fan.

He is the Emperor level practitioner who attracts the gazes of ten thousand eyes. The moment he
appears, he would attract everyone's attention. Quite a few people go up to him one after another to
give their greetings and make small talk.

Other than TianXin sect, there are also the two big forces QingCheng sect and XingLuo group.

Of the people from QingCheng sect, You XiaoMo only recognizes one of them. The one wearing a
resplendent fluttering blue robe with silvery white silk thread embroidery glittering like crystals on
the robe. Dazzling rays restraining the shadows. Setting off the man, making him appear like a cool
and crisp spring. Add to that his handsome features. Just by standing, he creates a beautiful scene no
matter where he is, attracting the gazes of all the women, making them linger on his body as two pink
dots slowly rise up their cheeks.

This man is none other than QingCheng sect's Luo ShuHe, the talented man of the hour.

Even though Luo ShuHe is very outstanding, the middle aged man standing next to him is by no
means inferior.

You XiaoMo guesses that this middle aged man should be Luo ChengYuan. The one that stole
TianXin sect's level nine magic pill formula, QingCheng sect's Grand Master. Although he looks like
an outstanding man, it's a pity that he's also a treacherous and deceitful man.

As for the QingCheng sect disciples and Elders he leads, they are about the same number as those
from TianXin sect. This battle array is not something that can be discounted.

But when compared to these two major sects, XingLuo group clearly lacks presence.

The small number of disciples who are not wearing grey cloaks all have somewhat pale faces,
most probably a result of the techniques they practice. The others are all covered top to bottom,
wrapped up in grey cloaks, as if they are trying to look mysterious.

Although it was the same thing the last time, this time, the most important one leading the way is
missing, the Emperor level group leader of XingLuo group, ShenTu Dao. Rumor is that he is in
seclusion, unable to come out for the moment. Therefore two Elders are taking his place, one of
which is coincidentally someone You XiaoMo recognizes.

It's the one who participated in the auction at the Pavilion of ten thousand treasures, XingLuo
group's representative, Ding Shi, with a Seven star Celestial level cultivation. This strength level is
clearly insufficient to make an impression so XingLuo group also sent another Elder, Xiang PengTian,
with a Six star Spiritual level cultivation.

Although it's not an Imperial level practitioner, a Six Star Spiritual level cultivation is enough to
become an overlord. So no one dares to look down on XingLuo group, especially XiaoYao group,
JiLe tower, and Xue Sha clan.

What surprises You XiaoMo is that these three forces also make an appearance.

But as they are second class forces, the number of slots they get is not much. Other than them, there
are also independent practitioners.

Independent practitioners are those that are not part of any force. Although they have freedom to do
as they wish, they can only depend on themselves on this road of cultivation. Things such as
cultivation techniques, level promoting magic pills, magic herbs, they have to rely on themselves to
procure all these.

Because it is like this, murder and robbery is a very common occurrence. Furthermore, without the
protection of a group, if they accidentally offend some force, they would most probably end up dead.

However, the number of independent practitioners cannot be discounted.

The number of practitioners in Long Xiao continent is in the thousands of ten thousands. Not every
one of them are part of some force. For one, those forces are unlikely to accept just anyone. Second,
the threshold for entry is high, only accepting the ones with good innate talent. But this doesn't mean
that there aren't any independent practitioners with good innate talent. There are some with good
innate talent who are not willing to enter into the major sects.

So, in order to prevent the independent practitioners from rioting resentfully, TianXin sect and the
other two major sects will give the independent practitioners ten slots every time the Paradise realm
opens. Who those slots belong to, is up to themselves to decide.

Ling Xiao pats the dazed You XiaoMo, signaling to him that the winged bird is about to descend.

You XiaoMo immediately clutches one of Ling Xiao's arms. He doesn't want a tragic scene to
occur when the winged bird descends. Not only would he lose face in front of his fellow disciples, it
would be in front of all the practitioners.

The winged bird lets out a delighted and shrill call at Ling Xiao's signal. The shrill cry of the
winged bird immediately attracts the attention of everyone below. Just when everyone raises their
heads, the winged bird is already diving straight down. A burst of strong wind rises causing a few
people to close their eyes. By the time they open their eyes again, a four to five meter high winged
bird is in front of their eyes, with two people standing on its back.

Taking a clearer look, one of them is surprisingly the genius who shares the same level of fame
with Luo ShuHe, 'Lin Xiao'.

He's different from the cool and crisp Luo ShuHe. Ling Xiao is dressed in a set of snow white gold
silk robes, fluttering in the wind. His ink black long hair dances elegantly looking rather
otherworldly. Like before, a slight gentle smile hangs on the corner of his lips making him appear
even more scholarly and refined. The sculpted contours of his handsome face also gives people a
sense of security.

Maybe because the momentum of his appearance is too strong, everyone looks over expectantly.
Ling Xiao takes a step with his silver brocade boots and then he simply picks up the one by his side,
You XiaoMo, and jumps down.
His actions are swift and smooth. Only after they are firmly on the ground does everyone's attention
shift to the one being carried by Ling Xiao in his arms, stunning each and every one of them.

Which person can actually be carried down by TianXin sect's most outstanding talent 'Lin Xiao'?
This isn't an honor that is granted easily. It must be said that the number of women who wish to be
carried in Lin Xiao's arms may be enough to wind a few rounds around the Ten thousand python
demon plain.

But when they take a clearer look, they find out that the one he is carrying is actually a babyish
youth. The youth's face is bright red. When they land on the ground, he anxiously jumps out from 'Lin
Xiao's' body. Maybe because he was too hurried, when he jumped down, he twists one of his ankles.
Luckily 'Lin Xiao' pulls him up in time.

'Lin Xiao' has a doting look in his eyes as he smiles gently while saying, "Little brother, are you
OK?"

You XiaoMo glares at him angrily. This fellow is definitely doing it on purpose. But ....... under
everyone's attention, he doesn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary so he can only reply in a soft
voice, "I'm fine."

Silence all around .......

As everyone is speculating over their relationship, TianXin sect is unimaginably quiet.

Earlier, when the winged bird made its appearance, the people from TianXin sect already noticed
that it is one of theirs. So they instantly guessed that the ones on top would be 'Lin Xiao' and Zhou
Peng.

Just as Tang YunQi and company walk over happily to greet them, the one at Ling Xiao's side who
should have been Zhou Peng turns out to be the one they dislike the most, You XiaoMo. Tang YunQi
and company are so stunned that they can't say a word.

Tang Fan also realizes it. His unreadable expression darkens. This is the first time he is showing a
displeased expression in front of others. But who would not be displeased when they discover that
they have been tricked by their own disciple. There is no way someone as shrewd as him won't be
able to guess why this Grand disciple of his wanted them to leave first. Looks like this is the reason.

Truthfully speaking, Tang Fan is more and more disappointed with the performance of this Grand
disciple.

At first, he only thought that he was fascinated with something novel, so he was getting close to You
XiaoMo. But with how the actions he takes on behalf of You XiaoMo getting more and more over the
top, Tang Fan realizes that something is not right.

If it's just for the sake of novelty, why would he go against his wishes again and again, actually
becoming enemies with the other Elders for his sake? Furthermore, ever since the huge change in his
character, his actions and conduct are becoming more and more brazen. If it wasn't because he is
absolutely sure that he is undeniably his Grand disciple, he would have suspected that he was sent by
the demons to be a secret agent.

But, now his actions are becoming more and more outrageous. For the sake of a puny little mage, he
actually dares to deceive his own Master. This is already a serious blow to his bottom line.

A thunderstorm brews in Tang Fan's eyes. But it is only for a moment. Now is definitely not the
time to pursue this matter. Furthermore, if he were to say it out, TianXin sect will be the subject of
ridicule. Also, 'Lin Xiao' is really a rare genius. If they were to lose him, it would not be a light blow
to TianXin sect.

Tang YunQi walks over to her father and hugs his arm while saying in an aggrieved tone, "Father,
Brother Xiao brought that slut again. This time you must definitely reprimand Brother Xiao."

Tang Fan says in a deep voice, "Young Qi, you are my, Tang Fan's, daughter. You shouldn't say
slut so easily. If others hear it, they would think that I, Tang Fan, is someone that doesn't know
how to teach his daughter properly, an unrefined person."

Tang YunQi seems to be frightened by his displeased tone. She lowers her head and says hesitantly,
"Yes, daughter understands."

When she says these words, a look of resentment flashes past her eyes as she looks at You XiaoMo
with eyes full of hate.

On that side, Ling Xiao also brings You XiaoMo over.

Ling Xiao still has his smiling face on. Even though he can see that Tang Fan's old face is showing
an unhappy expression, he maintains his composure as he walks over and says, "Master, I'm here."

Hearing these words, Tang Fan's face turns one shade darker, "You're not planning on giving me
an explanation?"

Ling Xiao freezes, as if he just realizes what he is talking about. He puts on an act and slaps
himself on the forehead, laughing as he says, "I apologize to Master. Because of the excitement of
seeing everyone, I almost forgot."

Saying this, he simply pulls You XiaoMo to the front.

You XiaoMo glances at Tang Fan awkwardly. His expression causes his heart to shiver. He firmly
suppresses the urge to hide behind Ling Xiao's body. Speaking reverently, he says "Greetings to
Grand Master!"

"Master, this is Junior brother You whom you've met before at WuShuang mountain.
Originally, I was preparing to bring Junior brother Zhou together with me but unexpectedly,
when we were about to set out, Junior brother Zhou experienced some trouble so he couldn't
leave. Coincidentally, Disciple came across Junior brother You. In order to avoid being late,
Junior brother Zhou also agreed to give his slot to Junior brother You. So Disciple could only
bring him along to make up the numbers."

The corner of Ling Xiao's mouth holds a slight smile as he speaks. His tone is casual,at a moderate
pace, as if he is talking about something unimportant.

His smug expression causes Tang Fan's face to tighten but as the Grand Master of TianXin sect, he
has long ago learned to control his expressions, bringing it to the point of perfection. Those standing
nearby definitely can't tell what he is thinking.

After a while, a slight smile barely appears on Tang Fan's serious face, "Since your Younger
brother Zhou also agrees, Master won't say anything more. But since you are the one who
brought him here, you will have to take good care of him. Alright, his Master is also here. Bring
him over there ba."

"Yes Master!"

Ling Xiao smiles as he cups his hands.

Looking at the back of Ling Xiao bringing that person over to Kong Wen, Tang Fan narrows his
eyes slightly. It is unclear what kind of emotions are brewing in those black eyes, on the brink of
spilling over.

Seeing that her father is actually letting off You XiaoMo so easily, Tang YunQi feels even more
resentment in her heart. She clenches her fists tightly, not even aware that her fingernails are sinking
into her palms.

Note:cauldron fire is pure blue - point of perfection

Chapter 156

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

*Sorry guys! This is incomplete. It auto published coz I forgot I had set it for today*The Legendary
Master.Kong Wen's status is that of a Peak Master. It's a pity his control over his emotions is not as
good as Tang Fan's.

When You XiaoMo showed up together with Ling Xiao, the few disciples by his side detected his
mood. The repressed indignation and contempt is plainly shown, not disguised in the least.

You XiaoMo's appearance is tantamount to someone throwing a bucket of dirty water in his face in
public. Especially in front of his few disciples, making him feel even more loss of face. He restrains
the impulse to vent his anger but he can't.

This is probably the first time someone pulls the mask from his face ever since he assumed the role
as Master of Earth peak. On top of that, this person is the Seventh disciple that he personally
accepted. At that time he did it based on his relationship with Ling Xiao. He never expected that his
disciple would actually repay him this way!

Ling Xiao pulls You XiaoMo towards Kong Wen. He beams as he says to him, "Uncle Kong, see
who this is. Junior brother You's luck is really good. The both of you, Master and disciple meet
again, unexpected ba?"

Hearing his words, You XiaoMo's mouth twitches. He steals a glance at Ling Xiao. Are you
purposely trying to enrage him? Wei, wei, when we go back, the one that would be out of luck is me
ah!

"Master ....... "

You XiaoMo scratches his head, not daring to look at Kong Wen. He seems to be blushing a little.

"En, you actually have some skill. Looks like Master underestimated you."

Kong Wen gives a faintly discernible grunt and then suddenly adds some seemingly paradoxical
words. It's unclear what he means.

You XiaoMo doesn't know how he should respond. But there is one thing he can be sure of. Kong
Wen is angry. He can't help shooting a look at Ling Xiao ------- Dude, he's angry. What should we do?

Ling Xiao bravely takes a firm step forward, nodding his head in agreement, "What Uncle Kong
says is not wrong. Junior brother You's luck has come and no one can stop it. This time, if
Junior brother Zhou didn't have problems right at that time, Junior brother You would have no
chance."
Although he speaks as if it really happened like that, probably only a few believe it. Because who
doesn't know that Zhou Peng's relationship with him is especially close. If he were to ask Zhou Peng
to give his spot to You XiaoMo, Zhou Peng would most probably agree, although some things can't be
for sure.

But there are some people that do know the truth. Such as Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin. You XiaoMo
already told them that he has a way to enter the Paradise realm. Now thinking back and connecting it
to this scene, the answer is as clear as can be. But the two of them won't expose Ling Xiao's words.

Kong Wen grimaces slightly, looking at You XiaoMo with a smile that is only skin deep, "Little
Seven's luck is indeed too good when compared to others."

You XiaoMo opens and closes his mouth, before deciding that it would be better not to say
anything. He can't seem to make out Kong Wen's line of thought.

While they are talking, the other few forces are also observing them.

Ling Xiao is after all quite the celebrity. Showing up at the same place as Luo ShuHe, there will
always be a few people that will compare the both of them. But, Ling Xiao is very rarely seen being
very close to anyone on the outside. Seeing this suddenly, naturally, they are very curious.

Not far away, Luo ShuHe receives the signal from his father and secretly observes Ling Xiao.
Seeing him acting so intimately with a boyish beautiful youth, a look of surprise flashes across his
handsome face.

The impression he has of Lin Xiao is someone that looks as if he can get along well with anyone,
talking and laughing cheerfully, but is in actual fact someone that maintains a clear dividing line with
everyone. They are both the same kind of people, hiding behind a mask, so he can tell.

Just like looking at Lin Xiao'a actions today, Luo ShuHe knows that he is definitely not putting on
an act.

Luo ShuHe's lips curve upwards imperceptibly. He didn't expect that Lin Xiao would actually
announce his weakness in front of everyone. Is it that he didn't think it through or he feels so sure that
he can protect that youth?

For some unknown reason, he suddenly very much wants to witness that scene, how would that
scene unfold?

Most probably it's not just Luo ShuHe who is having these thoughts. Looking unaffected on the
surface, many of these people are already hashing out schemes in their hearts.

Right at this moment, the barrier around the Paradise realm starts to act up, signaling that the
barrier will soon open.

Although the barrier will open up, the time is not long. Furthermore, it will restore itself
automatically. So they have to first stabilize one of the breaches in the barrier. But even if they
manage to stabilize that breach, the barrier will automatically restore itself in one month's time. So
they have to come out within a month or they will be locked inside. Whether they can come out fifty
years later is not a sure thing.

Chapter 157

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Excretion spot.The bloody event ten thousand years ago and the strengthening of magic beasts have
deterred the practitioners from wantonly launching a massacre on them again.

This is also why practitioners extremely covet the powers of the magic beasts. However, very few
practitioners are able to bond strong magic beasts. The higher the level of the magic beast, the
stronger their communal bond with their own kind. They are no longer targets that can be casually
hunted down and killed by practitioners.

However, the appearance of the Master of magic beasts didn't affect the process of natural
selection. The way of this world has always been - the weak are meat, the strong do eat.

The Master of magic beasts only gave them the ability to get stronger but that didn't change the
antagonistic stand between the practitioners and the magic beasts, so the killing continued. However,
it's no longer a one-sided affair like ten thousand years ago.

But from that moment on, the Master of the magic beasts disappeared. He appeared again five
thousand years ago and hasn't appeared since. Some people say that the Master of magic beasts left
Long Xiao continent. Some people say that he is in deep sleep. Other people say that he is in some
corner of Long Xiao continent .......

But whatever the case, to the magic beasts, the Master of magic beasts is their savior, their master,
simply a legend among the magic beast population.

You XiaoMo is stunned to learn that there is this kind of history between magic beasts and
practitioners ten thousand years ago.

No wonder he hasn't seen those bonded magic beasts in TianXin sect. If it's ordinary magic beasts,
neither martial artists nor mages are willing to waste their limited slots on them. As for high level
magic beasts, it is not easy to come across them. Being choosy here and there, there are very few who
can actually bond with a magic beast.

As for the Ten thousand python demon plain, admittedly the threat of the Master of magic beasts is
still felt. However, the Master of magic beasts has not appeared for a few thousand years. Who
knows if he has already left Long Xiao continent. So the threat is much less than before.

However, there are other reasons why those sects have not moved against the Ten thousand python
demon plain.

The Ten thousand python demon plain is enveloped year round in a layer of gray poisonous gas.
This layer of poisonous gas is excreted by over ten thousand Evil heavenly pythons. It can easily cut
through the defenses of practitioners who are Celestial level and below.
So, unless those sects are willing to sacrifice a large number of their disciples, they won't make a
move against the Ten thousand python demon plain. Furthermore, the overlord of the Ten thousand
python demon plain is already a level nine Evil heavenly python that can shapeshift into a human with
eight senior generals under his command. This level of power is sufficient for them to stand at the
same level as sects like TianXin sect.

On top of that, there is the advantageous terrain of the Ten thousand python demon plain. Probably,
even before an Evil heavenly python is found, many of the practitioners be wounded or dead.

You XiaoMo motions secretly to Ling Xiao. Taking advantage of the time when the two Brothers
are talking with each other, he whispers to Ling Xiao, "Elder brother Ling, since that Master of
magic beasts is so awesome, do you think he could be the owner of the Paradise realm? If we go
in like this, will we infuriate him?"

Ling Xiao, who was looking at the scenery with a satisfied expression shifts his gaze subtly to the
expectant You XiaoMo. An enigmatic smile escapes from the corner of his mouth, "Probably not."

"Why not?"

You XiaoMo asks in reply.

Ling Xiao's eyes shine as he gazes at him, beaming while he says, "That Master of magic beasts
actually frightened all the practitioners of Long Xiao continent. Clearly no one is a match for
him. Naturally, there isn't a practitioner who can injure him, so he should still be alive. As for
the owner of the Paradise realm, he is a powerful person from ten thousand years ago or even
earlier. He is now long dead that even the remnants of his soul is no longer here. How could it
be him?"

You XiaoMo ponders for a bit and feels that Ling Xiao is right. No matter how you look at it, that
Master of magic beasts appeared suddenly. Most probably not someone from Long Xiao continent.
Therefore the timeline doesn't match.

"Little brother, actually the existence of the Ten thousand python demon plain is more
complicated than what you imagine."

Ling Xiao suddenly bends over and says this sentence next to his ear.

You XiaoMo raises his head and catches sight of the smile that is still on his face. However, it is
no longer the casual smile from before. Instead it is clearly one of despise and contempt. The look in
his eyes is like one looking at fleas. All of a sudden, You XiaoMo is puzzled.

In reality, the reason why the three forces didn't make a move is because of the balance in power.
TianXin sect, Qing Cheng sect, and XingLuo group, form a balance of power in the Southern part of
Long Xiao continent. If anyone of them drops in strength, it would be gobbled up by one of the other
two powers.
Let's say TianXin sect and Qing Cheng sect have a strong interest in the Ten thousand python demon
plain. They can join hands against that Evil heavenly python. But, as everyone knows, the defense of a
high level Evil heavenly python is extraordinary. If you want to kill it off, you must pay an enormous
price. This way, they would definitely be injured. Without the threat of an Imperial level fighter, the
balance of power would be broken. XingLuo group would very likely make a move on them.

So, as long as one of the three powers is reluctant to make a move, the other two would also
definitely not make a move. They can only stare wide-eyed at that piece of fatty meat, the Ten
thousand python demon plain, as it gets fatter and fatter while they are unable to make a move.

"Elder brother Ling, so do you think that the Master of magic beasts is still around?"

The relationships between these forces are extremely complicated. You XiaoMo is not interested in
figuring it out. What interests him is that Master of magic beasts.

Ling Xiao lowers his head and looks at him, laughing lightly while saying, "Of course he's still
around."

You XiaoMo's eyeballs roll round and round as he asks in delight, "Then do you know where he
is now?"

"He ah ....... "

Ling Xiao strokes his chin and glances at his shining eyes. He suddenly asks, "Why are you
asking?"

"I ....... I'm just asking."

You XiaoMo laughs soundlessly, as if it is really like he said, that he is just asking.

Normal people wouldn't ask further but Ling Xiao is no ordinary person. Furthermore, that person
is right in front of him so it's impossible that he won't ask further. He smacks him on the head and asks
smilingly, "Tell the truth."

You XiaoMo's mouth twitches. This fellow is really hateful, always wanting to expose him each
and every time.

You XiaoMo arranges his words, saying, "The truth is I was thinking that since that person is
so awesome, the treasure he guards must be something extraordinary. So, if we know the places
he has been to, maybe we would be able to find a stalk of level ten and above magic herb. What
do you say?"

Ling Xiao feels that he has really underestimated this little mage. He actually dares to covet his
things. But ....... after looking him up and down he feels that there really is a treasure. En, this point he
actually very much agrees with.
"Elder brother Ling, what do you think of my idea?"

Seeing him not saying anything, You XiaoMo asks excitedly. He really can't wait to know his
answer.

"Of course it's a good idea ah."

Ling Xiao beams and nods his head.

Actually, where there are high level magic herbs, there will definitely be magic beasts. But where
there are magic beasts, it does not necessarily mean there will be magic herbs. You XiaoMo clearly
forgot this point. Hearing Ling Xiao confirm his way of thinking, he is delighted, secretly thinking to
himself that he is really smart.

Seeing that he is full of joy, a playful look flashes in Ling Xiao's eyes as he adds, "Little brother.
After thinking it over, I feel that although your idea is good, it is a little improbable."

You XiaoMo reins in the happiness on his face and asks doubtfully, "Where is it improbable?"

Ling Xiao says in all seriousness, "Think about it. You want to find places where that Master
of Magic beasts guarded before. But there's definitely a lot of places. If there are too many,
don't tell me we have to go to each location and search once over?"

"Oh that's true!"

You XiaoMo also feels that he has a point.

"Then how about we only look at places where the spiritual energy is dense. Those places
with scarce spiritual energy is unlikely to be where high level magic herbs are. What do you
think?"

"If that's the case, I actually know where that Master of magic beasts would have definitely
gone. The spiritual energy there is definitely dense."

Ling Xiao's smile is rather treacherous as he voluntarily gives him a clue.

"Really, then you know where it is?"

You XiaoMo's eyes light up immediately.

"It is ....... " Ling Xiao says.

The following words were spoken rather softly. You XiaoMo immediately moves his ear closer.

Ling Xiao lowers his head and sees his rather red ears. He laughs inwardly and then says, "It is
....... where he goes to do his business."
You XiaoMo, " ....... "

The look of delight on his pretty face instantly turns into one of constipation.

What the hell ah, what rubbish. Where he does his business is the place with the strongest spiritual
energy?

You XiaoMo really feels that he has been duped. He only knows that the shit dump is the most foul
place in the world.

He finally realizes that Ling Xiao never had faith in his idea. He was just playing with him from the
beginning to the end and he actually fell for it .......

"Ha ha ha!!!"

Ling Xiao sees his face changing color nonstop from red to orange to amaranth to green to blue to
purple and he finally can't stop himself from laughing out loud. His laughter is not the least bit
restrained. Once heard it is clear that it is a hearty laughter coming from inside.

You XiaoMo flushes red and pushes him away. Then he kicks towards his right leg.

Ling Xiao is not a masochist so he simply raises his right leg and takes a step backwards.

You XiaoMo chases after him while pointing at him angrily while saying, "If you have the guts,
stand there and don't run."

Of course Ling Xiao won't stand there obediently. Although getting kicked by him is nothing really,
he doesn't want to let him to have his way. So, one chasing and one running, they go round and round
Fang ChenLe and the others.

When did Ling Xiao ever laugh so freely in front of others? Everyone only knows of 'Lin Xiao'
who is someone refined and courteous, an elegant gentleman. No one has ever seen him laugh so
happily before.

But what makes everyone's monocles pop out is that 'Lin Xiao' while being chased and berated by
a puny mage is actually showing such a delighted expression, as if he is enjoying himself.

This scene really shocked a lot of people. Looks like 'Lin Xiao' is actually this kind of person in
private. But it must be said that the ones that are most shocked are probably the disciples and Elders
of TianXin sect. They are even more shocked than the people of Qing Cheng sect and the like because
they are his brothers from the same sect. Therefore, they are rather clear on what kind of person 'Lin
Xiao' is. He speaks what he wishes but he has never acted so intimately with any fellow disciple.
Although he is especially good to You XiaoMo and defends him preferentially, they never knew that
this is how they act when he is together with You XiaoMo in private.

Let alone the Bruce Lees of the Warrior division, even Fang ChenLe, who is being circled by the
two of them, forgets himself and has his mouth hanging slightly open. Seeing is believing. He finally
realizes that the relationship between Little brother and 'Lin Xiao' is even better than what he
imagined.

Not far away, Tang YunQi looks at them furiously as if wanting to tear them apart, her eyes dead set
on the two of them.

The brothers and sisters by her side don't dare to look at her but they can sense the Junior sister's
fury and hate coming from her body. Looks like the one most affected by this scene is her.

But not one of them goes over to console her. No one wants to court misfortune at this time.

"That's enough. Making so much noise in front of everyone, whatever next!"

Kong Wen finally couldn't stand it any longer and shouts at them. His expression is rather stern as
he gives a warning look to You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo is frightened by the look in his eyes. His mouth twitches awkwardly and he then runs
to Ling Xiao's side like an ostrich, not daring to make any more noise.

Ling Xiao also doesn't dodge away anymore, and looks at him teasingly.

You XiaoMo pats his cheeks and then while everyone is looking towards the Ten thousand python
demon plain, he raises his foot and stamps on Ling Xiao's foot. Once is not enough so he does it
again. It's all this guy's fault, making him do something embarrassing once again.

Ling Xiao's smiling face doesn't change, as if the one being stepped on is not him. He follows
everyone, looking towards the barrier with a satisfied expression.

You XiaoMo stamps on for quite a bit but after seeing him actually not showing any sign of pain, he
takes back his foot while panting with rage. But when he sees that the exquisite white boot on Ling
Xiao's right foot is now a grey boot, he immediately giggles in satisfaction.

Ling Xiao hears him giggle and follows his line of vision to see his own boots, now filthy from all
the stamping. He raises the corner of his lips in a smile while saying, "Little brother, are you happy
now?"

You XiaoMo puffs up his cheeks and nods in satisfaction.

Ling Xiao simply stretches out his hand and flicks him on his forehead. Just when You XiaoMo is
about to flip out again, he quickly points at the two men coming towards them, Tang Fan and Luo
ChengYuan, while saying, "Quick, look. The barrier is open."

You XiaoMo doesn't believe it, thinking that Ling Xiao is just bluffing him again. A second later, he
hears the sound of everyone cheering.

Chapter 158

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Exchange and transfer.You XiaoMo turns his head and sees Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan coming
out from the Ten thousand python demon plain together.

The moment they come out, the onlookers immediately surround them, a few of them stretching their
necks to look into the distance, wanting to know if the hole in barrier has been stabilized. After all,
things concerning the Paradise realm is something everyone is concerned about.

The one to speak is Tang Fan. He motions for everyone to quiet down.

As for Luo ChengYuan, his face is rather abnormally pale. It's not clear if it is because he ran into
some trouble inside or if he was already injured to begin with. Luo ShuHe who was standing at the
side quickly goes over to help him to the side. Because everyone's attention is concentrated on Tang
Fan, very few people noticed their actions.

Tang Fan glances surreptitiously at Luo ChengYuan's back with a rather profound expression.
Others do not know, but he sees it as clear as day. But this is not the right time to lay his cards on the
table.

"Everyone quiet down. The barrier has been stabilized but only ten people can be transported
at one time. Now take out your life saving stone and follow me and Grand Master Luo into the
Ten thousand python demon plain. Remember not to mess around or you would have to suffer
the consequences of your own actions."

When he says this, a few forces start to form groups of people, ten people to one life saving stone.

The so called life saving stone is a type of stone made from white crystal. This type of stone can
form a protective radius of different sizes depending on the size of the stone. It can be used to repel
the poisonous gas. It's not some rare thing but because it can only be used once, and because they are
usually only the size of a fist, it is only effective for half an hour. Because of that, it is definitely not
cheap.

You XiaoMo doesn't have a life saving stone, but Ling Xiao has one.

Ling Xiao already asked around about it a long time ago but his life saving stone was given to him
by Tang Fan. It was given much earlier on.

There are only eight people from Earth peak. If they were to add You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao, it
would be just nice. But Kong Wen doesn't call You XiaoMo over. Instead he calls Fang ChenLe and
the others and then takes the life saving stone with him and follows behind Tang Fan's group into the
Ten thousand python demon plain.
You XiaoMo also didn't expect Kong Wen to include him.

After they left, Ling Xiao bumps into his shoulder and beams while saying, "Little brother, let's
go too ba."

One of his hands is still holding onto the life saving stone.

The life saving stone in his hand is not small. It can last for about an hour. At that time, Tang Fan
chose it specifically for him. If Tang Fan had known that it would turn out like this, he probably
wouldn't have given him such a big life saving stone.

That is what's called Man proposes but God disposes!

Two people using such a big life-saving stone appears very wasteful. Hence it attracts quite a lot of
attention.

There are ten independent practitioners but the life saving stone they use is half the size of Ling
Xiao's. It's probably effective for not even half an hour. Furthermore, because they didn't put in any
effort from beginning to end, they would probably be the very last batch to enter.

Coincidentally, they walk next to You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao. They look at the two of them using
one stone with endless jealousy and envy.

You XiaoMo assesses the surroundings and happens to see them. Seeing ten grown man crowding
around one stone, with some of them looking at him resentfully, he suddenly feels embarrassed.

Ling Xiao sees this scene and the corner of his lips rises up as he speaks to the independent
practitioner holding the life saving stone, "I can exchange the life saving stone with you kind sir if
you tell us about the situation inside the Paradise realm. How about it?"

The moment he finishes talking, that person immediately exchanges looks with the others, as if they
are very surprised that he would say these words.

You XiaoMo is also very surprised, so much so that he raises his head and looks at Ling Xiao in
surprise. The latter lowers his head and winks at him.

Although people that show goodwill for no rhyme or reason may have ulterior motives, Ling Xiao
explained it explicitly. If you want to come over, you have to provide information. This dispels half of
the suspicions in their hearts. Furthermore, Ling Xiao is someone from TianXin sect. He probably
won't play tricks on them in front of that many people.

Thinking like this, that man seeks agreement from the others and then exchanges life saving stones
with Ling Xiao. Holding the life saving stone, that independent practitioner can feel the vast energy
within it. Now they no longer have to worry that the energy from the life saving stone won't be
enough.

Although a few of them are of Spiritual level, so they don't have to worry that they would be
poisoned once the energy runs out, it may affect their strength, making it more dangerous when they
enter the Paradise realm. Therefore, they are willing to exchange some information for a piece of life
saving stone.

After that, that independent practitioner starts to list all the information he has. Some are the
personal experiences of others. Some are information obtained from asking around. Adding them up,
Ling Xiao actually acquired quite a lot of useful information.

You XiaoMo didn't expect that it would be like this. He feels like prostrating himself before Ling
Xiao in admiration. He looks at Ling Xiao with worship shining in his eyes.

Very quickly, they reach the place with the breach in the barrier.

It is situated in a dark ravine. The ravine is filled with a dense negative air. Bursts of ice cold air
penetrates directly through the skin. Those of weaker cultivation can't help but shiver. The figures of
several Evil heavenly pythons that have yet to awaken their spiritual consciousness can be seen
circling in the forest. Seeing them, some people feel their hearts stir. This is what's called a level nine
magic beast. But no matter how tempted, no one goes over to catch them.

The barrier is above the entrance to the ravine. A small scale teleportation formation is laid out
below using crystals. This teleportation formation was laid down by the combined efforts of Tang Fan
and Luo ChengYuan. Because there is insufficient time to lay down a teleportation formation for fifty
people, they simply put down a simple small scale one.

There are regular patterns drawn inside the teleportation formation making up an area that can hold
about ten people. Five fist sized energy stones are placed at regular intervals around the pattern.

Tang Fan stands in front of the teleportation formation. He turns around and speaks to everyone in a
serious tone, "Before starting the teleportation, there is something I want to make clear. The
opening in the barrier of the Paradise realm will only stay open for a maximum of one month. A
month later, it will close by itself. If you don't want to stay in there forever, you must get back to
the teleportation point within one month's time. Now we will start the teleportation."

Even if Tang Fan doesn't say it, every one already knows this. It's just a matter of formality, nothing
more.

Because the ones that put in the effort is Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan, the first ones to be
transferred are the disciples from these two sects. The first batch are from TianXin sect and Qing
Cheng sect, five each.

Everyone thought that Tang Fan would send Ling Xiao first but unexpectedly, he called over Xiao
Long's disciple, Lei Ju and two others along with Tang YunQi and another mage. Because mages don't
have combat power, they must go together with martial artists.

A few shrewd people see this scene and a look of surprise flashes across their eyes, as if they
figured out something.
There is no surprise on the side of Qing Cheng sect with Luo ShuHe taking the lead. He also brings
along two young mages. To be able to be in his group, they must be mages of some talent.

The people going first can choose to wait there or go off to hunt treasure. But those from the same
sect will mostly choose to head out first because the ones that go in first can be the first to find
wondrous treasure. It's a pretty good opportunity so usually the ones transferred first are those of
formidable strength.

Lei Ju's strength is acceptable but it is quite lacking when compared to Ling Xiao. A lot of people
thought it would be Ling Xiao.

Tang YunQi also thought that way. After hearing that her dad actually didn't call out Brother Xiao's
name, her pretty eyes pop open. Grinding her teeth, she still doesn't say anything in the end because
she knows that her dad wouldn't agree.

Lei Ju stands inside the teleportation formation looking arrogantly at Ling Xiao. His eyes are filled
with provocation.

However, Ling Xiao is simply not looking at them. He tilts his head as if he is having a good chat
with a few independent practitioners. He doesn't show the least bit dissatisfaction at not being in the
first group, as if it doesn't matter when he gets transferred.

Lei Ju reins in the fury that is about to erupt from his eyes. Clenching his fists tightly, he swears in
his heart that there will be a day when he will embarrass 'Lin Xiao', letting him know that he is the
one that is the most outstanding disciple of TianXin sect.

Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan take turns activating the teleportation formation. Very quickly, Lei Ju,
Luo ShuHe and the rest are sent over.

It's finally Ling Xiao's turn with the second batch. Most probably because it's not good to be so
obvious so Tang Fan calls out Ling Xiao's name. However, he doesn't call out You XiaoMo's name.

Ling Xiao is not surprised. He just pulls You XiaoMo over with him.

"Master, let little brother go together with me ba. After all, I was the one who brought him
along. Uncle Kong also said that I will be responsible for his safety."

Ling Xiao stands in front of Tang Fan, smiling widely while speaking, as if he is not the least bit
concerned that Tang Fan would disagree.

Tang Fan lowers his eyelids slightly and glances at them with an unreadable look. He says lightly,
"Since it is your Uncle Kong's words, just go in ba."

"Thank you Master!"

Ling Xiao appears oblivious to his displeased expression. He nods and answers him, then brings
You XiaoMo along into the teleportation formation.
During the teleportation, You XiaoMo catches sight of Kong Wen's dark expression.

Being used as an excuse by Ling Xiao, this Master is probably even more displeased.

But if he didn't say it like that, Tang Fan wouldn't agree so readily. He might even flare up and
simply forbid them to enter. It's not as if this kind of thing has not happened before. He heard Brother
Yang Yi talk about it. It is said that it happened once a long time ago.

A burst of white light flashes and the people being transferred disappears in an instant. The barrier
above their heads shakes one more time.

Chapter 159

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Will get used to it.The feeling of weightlessness is only for a short time. By the time the feet feel
solid ground once again, a faint scent of green grass floods into the nose, along with dense palpable
spiritual energy.

You XiaoMo opens his eyes and discovers that they are standing on a very wide circular stone
platform. The stone platform is about half the size of Earth peak's public square, made of some
unknown type of stone. There are peculiar patterns drawn on top, similar to that on the teleportation
formation that sent them in.

Looking in all directions, there is a white mist everywhere. This white mist is just around the stone
platform, encircling it, cutting off their line of vision, making them completely disoriented.

Luckily Ling Xiao was smart to exchange the life saving stone for some information on the Paradise
realm from the independent practitioners. Thus they knew that this kind of thing would happen after
the transfer.

You XiaoMo looks in all directions and sees no sign of the group of people who were transferred
before them.

Ling Xiao finds the secret signal exclusive to TianXin sect that was left behind by Lei Ju and the
rest pointing to the southwest. This means that the five of them already headed in the southwest
direction.

As for Qing Cheng sect, he doesn't find any sign of a secret signal or anything of that sort. Clearly,
Luo ShuHe doesn't plan on letting other people know which direction they went.

As they are scouting out the situation, the next batch of people are transferred over.

A few TianXin sect disciples catch sight of Ling Xiao so they don't leave immediately. Their faces
light up as they walk of their own accord towards him. On the other hand, the Qing Cheng sect
disciples discuss for a bit before choosing to go in a specific direction.

Ling Xiao notices that they head to the south, not much different from the southwest direction.

Then a few more batches of people are transferred. Other than those from the two major sects,
there is also XingLuo group and the other four forces.

Because XingLuo group didn't put in any effort this time around, they are treated the same as those
from the XiaoYao sect and the other three forces. These forces and the independent practitioners make
up five camps altogether. Just nice, each camp can send two people over each time.
Among these people, You XiaoMo only recognizes three of them. They are XingLuo group's Ding
Shi, XiaoYao sect's Mu Yao, and JiLe tower's Mu YunTian. But because he and Ling Xiao altered
their appearances that time, the three people don't recognize them.

With the passing of time, the number of people transferred over increase bit by bit. However the
number of people on the stone platform doesn't increase. All of the forces are worried that the magic
herbs and magic beasts will be swept up by the people that were transferred over earlier so they
hurry off in a particular direction after forming their groups.

Coming and going, right until all the people have been transferred over, Ling Xiao and You
XiaoMo still have not left the stone platform.

On the surface, Ling Xiao's strength is Star level, Two stars. But he is not the most senior person
among the people from TianXin sect. In reality, there are two Star level Seven star Elders above him.
For this mission, it is up to them to deploy the people.

After the other people have left, one of them, an Elder named Shi finally speaks, "Lin Xiao, when
you were transferred over, did you see which direction Luo ShuHe went?"

Ling Xiao shakes his head, replying negatively, "No."

Luo ShuHe is not stupid. Qing Cheng sect stole their level nine magic pill formula. Although it may
not be prudent to tear off their masks in the open, it's not the same inside the Paradise realm. There
are all sorts of dangers inside. Life and death, the fate lies in one's own hands. Even if TianXin sect
were to send people to kill them off, probably no one would suspect them went they go back out.

However, since TianXin sect can think of this, there is no way that Luo ChengYuan, that wily old
fox, didn't think about it. They must have prepared some countermeasures beforehand. Therefore,
even if Ling Xiao did see it, they may not have really set off in that direction. After all, they can't see
what is happening outside the stone platform.

Elder Shi looks at the other disciples. They also shake their heads indicating that they didn't see it.

Of course this response does not escape Ling Xiao's attention. However, the smile on the corner of
his lips don't falter in the slightest. Rather, it gets even more brilliant.

The reason why Elder Shi is doing this, eight to nine out of ten chance it's because Tang Fan
already warned him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked the other disciples after he had already said
no. Clearly, he doesn't believe his words.

"Since we have no way of knowing the exact direction Luo ShuHe went, we will now break
into four groups and head in four different directions. I and Elder Weng will lead six people
each. Huan Jie and Tai ShiYu will lead ten people to the south and west. Lin Xiao, you will
bring the rest towards the north. Is there anyone that objects?"

Elder Shi looks at everyone before his eyes finally land on Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao smiles while saying, "Elder Shi arranged it very well. Let's go with that ba."

Elder Shi nods and then starts to divide them up. Because Huan Jie's and Tai ShiYu's strengths are
lower than Ling Xiao's, Elder Shi assigns the stronger disciples to the both of them. As a result, by the
time he's done, with the remaining disciples going to Ling Xiao, the strengths have been divided
unequally. The ones with Ling Xiao are Sun level and below with only one Moon level disciple. On
top of that, the total number is less by four people when compared to Huan Jie and Tai ShiYu.

Including You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao, they are seven altogether. Five martial artists and two
mages. The other mage is a level three mage, a disciple from Flying peak. As for Fang ChenLe and Fu
ZiLin, they were taken by Elder Shi and Elder Weng respectively.

Fang ChenLe wanted to go together with You XiaoMo but since he is only a third generation
disciple, there is no way he can object to Elder Shi's decision. Before leaving, he can only urge Ling
Xiao to take good care of You XiaoMo.

As for the awkward Fu ZiLin, he gives Ling Xiao a warning look before tailing behind Elder Weng.

With Huan Jie and Tai ShiYu leaving with their group of people one after the other, only Ling
Xiao's group remains on the stone platform. Everyone is looking at him, waiting for his instructions.

Ling Xiao ponders for a bit and then says with a serious expression, "Fellow disciples, I believe
you already know that the North is the most dangerous place in the Paradise realm. We can
come across very formidable magic beasts at any time. I am only one person. When that
happens, I'm afraid that I won't be able to guarantee the safety of everyone."

When he finishes speaking, apart from You XiaoMo, the faces of the other five people change
slightly. What Ling Xiao said is actually the truth. The season in the North is winter, covered in ice
and snow. The cold air is rather heavy. Don't even talk about nurturing magic herbs. Those with rather
low strengths would probably not be able to last for more than three days.

The five people do not understand why Ling Xiao says those words. They all look towards him and
one of them asks him, "Elder brother, what do you think we should do?"

Hearing these words, it is clear that they already agree with Ling Xiao's point of view.

Ling Xiao says lightly, "Let me and Junior brother You head towards the north. As for you five
disciples, you all can team up and go in whichever direction you choose."

"How can we do that. If the elders find out ....... "

One of the disciples immediately shakes his head. This kind of action is cowardly. If the seniors
find out, they won't have any face left to remain in TianXin sect.

"As long as everyone doesn't say anything, no one would know. If someone asks, you just have
to say that we got separated. Furthermore, this is the idea that I came up with. It has nothing to
do with the rest of you."

Ling Xiao speaks assuredly with great composure.

The five people are very tempted by his words. In the end, they agree with his suggestion. But they
are still worried about running into Elder Shi and the rest so they left in the direction of Lei Ju and his
group. Elder Shi and company knew that TianXin sect disciples already headed in that direction so
they didn't send any more people that way.

After they left, Ling Xiao leisurely fishes out an incomplete map from his chest.

You XiaoMo quickly goes over to him. He already knew why Ling Xiao sent the other people
away. It's because of this reason. If they were to bring five people along, their hands and feet would
be tied when it comes to looking for Seven Star grass.

Although the map is incomplete, the direction is shown. At the time Tang Hun obtained the map, he
already made the inquiries. As luck would have it, it is the direction where Elder Shi led his people,
towards the east.

"Elder brother Ling, are we going to the east now? What about the north?"

You XiaoMo frowns as he asks. If Elder Shi finds out that they didn't go north, he will definitely
tell Tang Fan when they go out.

"Do you think the people from Qing Cheng sect will head north?"

The corner of Ling Xiao's mouth twitches slightly.

You XiaoMo thinks for a bit and shakes his head, "Probably not."

The climate of the Paradise realm is extremely peculiar. East, West, South, North, the four
directions are in four different seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter respectively. It's very
hard to imagine that a piece of land can have four different seasons, but that is exactly the case.

The north is in winter, covered in ice and snow throughout the year. Only ice class magic beasts
will choose to stay in the north. Because the air is bitterly cold, it is hard to nurture magic herbs.
Therefore, very few practitioners will go to the north. Of course, very few does not mean there won't
be any.

Although the conditions in the north are poor, if there really are magic herbs growing there, they
must be high level magic herbs because only high level magic herbs will have such a tenacious will
to live.

It's just that unfortunately, the last time the Paradise realm opened up, a few people spent a month's
time looking for magic herbs in the north. However, their luck was bad so they didn't find a single
stalk of magic herb. On top of that, they lost quite a few people. Ever since then, many practitioners
have given up on the north.
Ling Xiao keeps the incomplete map and inclines his head towards him while chuckling. He then
looks towards the east and says lightly and calmly, "It's fine as long as Elder Shi doesn't find out.
If in the one to ten thousand chance that he really finds out, we can only kill him off to silence
him."

You XiaoMo is silent. As a modern peace-loving person of the 21st century, he rather disagrees
with this kind of thinking.

Ling Xiao seems to be able to see the struggles in his heart so he says cheerfully in a carefree
manner, "Little brother, this kind of thing, after you've experienced it a few times, you will
slowly get used to it. If you're still not used to it, at the most, I will kill a few more people in
front of you, this way, you will get used to it."

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

In his heart, a little person immediately raises up his middle finger at him. My ass!

There's no need to force other people like this. If he really does that, even if he isn't used to it, he
will get used to it. And he actually thought he would say that he wouldn't kill any more people in front
of him. Looks like this fellow's answers will always be contrary to his expectations.

"I feel that what you said is not quite right."

You XiaoMo suddenly speaks up.

"Where is it not right?"

Ling Xiao's brows are raised with interest as he didn't expect him to find fault with his words.

You XiaoMo immediately explains eagerly, "You said get used to it ah. How can killing people
become a habit? Then, in the future, you won't feel right if you don't kill someone? I feel that
you used this word wrongly. You should say adapt to."

The corner of Ling Xiao's lips get higher and higher, "I stand corrected. Then let me say it one
more time. Wait until I kill a few more people in front of you. I believe you will adapt to it."

You XiaoMo looks at his seemingly glowing expression. This expression is exactly the same as the
one he had the next day after he neglected Ling Xiao and left him to the cold wind the whole night on
the winged bird. He suddenly feels as if he has grown a pig's head, "Actually ....... just take it as if I
didn't say anything ba."

Ling Xiao licks the corner of his lips evilly, "No no no, I feel that what you say has a lot of
merit. It's just that, little brother, you're really making me look forward to it more and more!"

You XiaoMo blinks. Actually, you really don't have to look forward to it. Really!
As someone who has lived in two worlds, this is the first time You XiaoMo realizes his own
attributes. It seems like he is actually ------- an idiot!

In the end, this idiot was bundled up in a confused state by Ling Xiao to go searching for Seven
Star Grass.

Half an hour after they left, a group of peculiar people shrouded completely in black cloaks appear
on the stone platform. The peculiar people are very tall and big. There are approximately fifteen of
them. They quickly divide into three groups and disappear from the stone platform heading towards
three different directions. East, west, and south.

Chapter 160

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Kill for treasureThe east of the Paradise realm is in spring. Just the place where ten thousand things
come to life. Therefore, this is the place with the most magic herbs. Next in line is the West. The
density and abundance of spiritual energy there is only second to the East.

With Ling Xiao bringing them there at top speed, they very quickly reach the first obstacle - Green
Mountain Ravine.

Before the Green Mountain Ravine was formed, legend says that there was a very tall mountain
peak. This peak was cleaved into two halves by some strong fighter in one blow forming the thousand
meter deep mountain ravine. Because of the climate, the mountain ravine became covered in green
plants. In the end, it became the habitat of the black crows.

Black crows are a kind of low level magic beasts with only level four strength. But they always
come out in hordes. Furthermore, they are capable of producing sounds that make the hearts of men
feel very agitated. Therefore, most people detest the black crows. When they catch sight of the Green
Mountain Ravine, most will choose to go around it. Although black crows are low level magic
beasts, the thing they guard is a level four magic herb called happy union.

Happy union is also called Closed at night tree. The crown of the tree is wide. The compound
leaves shaped like feathers are open during the daytime but closed at night. That's why it is named
happy union. Happy union is the opposite of black crows. It has a very strong calming effect. It can be
used against anger and sadness caused by the seven human emotions. It is especially effective against
anxiety. It can be used to refine a level four magic pill called happy union.

But the one You XiaoMo is interested in is not Happy union but the magic herb that grows by its
side, Stinky grass.

Stinky grass, like its name, gives out a very stinky odor. It is the nemesis of Happy union. However,
the only places that can support the Stinky grass is where more than a thousand stalks of Happy union
grow. The magic herb shops outside rarely sell it.

You XiaoMo wants to refine a type of magic pill called Stinky magic pill. Stinky magic pill can
produce a peculiar odor. When a practitioner puts the Stinky magic pill on his body, it can cause the
magic beasts in his vicinity to lose their keen sense of smell. On top of that, there is a certain
probability that it would cause the magic beast to lower its guard. When it comes to mages and
martial artists, it can add to the probability of success for bonding.

Therefore, although the smell of the Stinky magic pill is unpleasant, it is still popular with
practitioners.

An intention flashes in the mind of You XiaoMo, and a majestic magic beast immediately appears
in front of him.

The silvery fur emits piercingly cold beautiful rays of light, as it ripples sleekly down. Its blood-
red eyes seem like exceptionally dazzling rubies. However, there is also a few suppressed hints of
bloodthirstiness and savagery. That is the true nature of the Blue-blooded wolf.

It has evolved from Xiao Piqiu to Da Piqiu. Although it is not yet an adult, the time is not far away.
During this one plus month, You XiaoMo fed it four fifths of the six hundred jins of Miraculous Sheep
meat. He doesn't dare to feed it the rest because that is Ling Xiao's share .......

Four fifths of the Miraculous sheep meat contains an incredible amount of energy. On top of that,
You XiaoMo would feed it magic pills and magic water from time to time. The stunning result is a
newly born Blue-blooded wolf was fed in just a few months into one that looks almost like an adult.

When the majestic Blue-blooded wolf catches sight of You XiaoMo, who it hadn't seen for a long
time, it suddenly wails *ao wu* resentfully at him and then runs over with jolting buttocks. It's
overpowering aura is shattered in an instant.

"Little brother, you want to let him go pick the Stinky grass?"

Ling Xiao sees You XiaoMo call out the Blue-blooded wolf and immediately guesses his intention.
His expression turns a little odd.

You XiaoMo doesn't see his expression, "Yes ah. Da Piqiu's speed is very fast. It should be able
to pick the Stinky grass before alarming the Black crows."

"The stench of the Stinky grass is so strong. You're not afraid that it's nose would lose its
sense of smell?"

Ling Xiao asks him in return jokingly. He already heard You XiaoMo talk about the use of the
Stinky grass. Standing here now, he can smell the stench from the Stinky grass. If one lets the Blue-
blooded wolf go in there, chances are, it will pass out inside.

"Ah?"

You XiaoMo is stunned for a moment before recovering his senses.

That's right. Although the Stinky grass is not yet in magic pill form, it can emit a foul odor by itself.
Since Da Piqiu is not yet an adult, it would probably pass out from the stench before it can manage to
pluck it.

Ling Xiao says impatiently, "Wait here for a bit with your Da Piqiu. I will be right back."

You XiaoMo rubs his nose awkwardly. He can only wait there obediently.

After Ling Xiao enters the mountain ravine, You XiaoMo wanted to keep Da Piqiu back into his
dimension but Da Piqiu is not willing. It bites the hem of his clothes, refusing to let go while its ruby
red eyes look at him pitifully. His heart softens and he lets it wait outside.

Although it is not yet an adult, it is in any case of Moon level cultivation. Furthermore, the wild
nature of the Blue-blooded wolf is more suited to this place. Even if they are discovered by others, it
can be explained away as a magic beast that was bonded in the Paradise realm. It's really killing two
birds with one stone!

Just as he thinks this, the sound of wind whistling can suddenly be heard coming from behind.

You XiaoMo turns his head in surprise and sees a group of men and women floating down from the
air. Their clothes are fluttering in the air, handsome men and beautiful women, extremely eye-
catching.

Especially the man leading the group, a jade tree in the wind, handsome and charismatic, a person
of outstanding looks. His cultivation ....... You XiaoMo can't tell. However, he actually knows who
this group of people are.

TianXin sect's deadly enemy, disciples from Qing Cheng sect.

This man is definitely not Luo ShuHe, but his cultivation is only second to Luo ShuHe. It's Luo
ShuHe's junior brother, Ye Dan.

This is not information he got from asking around. It was told to them before by those few
independent practitioners when they entered. Most probably because they rarely meet people that are
nice to them, a few independent practitioners told them quite a lot of things. Ye Dan is one of those
things.

Speaking of this Ye Dan, his talent is also very outstanding. He is now a level one Star level
practitioner. Only one star lower than Luo ShuHe. If there isn't a Luo ShuHe on top of his head, he
would probably be Qing Cheng sect's most dazzling new star.

But because Luo ShuHe is his Elder brother, and since he also usually looks after him, their
brotherly relationship is quite good. It's just that this Ye Dan's character is a little strange. He is not
cool and detached like Luo ShuHe. Rather his character has faint hints of evilness, as if he delved too
deeply in the dark arts.

You XiaoMo sees them. They see You XiaoMo. It's already too late to hide.

A group of people very quickly descend not far away in front of him.

The leader, Ye Dan immediately recognizes You XiaoMo. He had arrived rather late and was
together with Ling Xiao so many people already took note of him outside the Paradise realm. Seeing
him by himself here, he looks all around in interest until his gaze suddenly falls on the Blue-blooded
wolf beside him, causing his pupils to contract abruptly.

Before he says anything, one of the Junior brothers next to him cries out in alarm, "Everyone, look.
Isn't that a level eight magic beast Blue-blooded wolf? It looks like it will soon become an
adult."

His words immediately draws everyone's attention. Pairs of amazed looks mixed with hints of
greed fall on the Blue-blooded wolf. Although the level eight magic beast Blue-blooded wolf is a
mid-level magic beast, to Qing Cheng sect, it can be of great help if they can get their hands on it.
Furthermore, there are not many magic beasts that can be bonded. Being able to come across a level
eight Blue-blooded wolf is already a huge stroke of luck.

So, after a few of the Qing Cheng sect people confirm that it is indeed a Blue-blooded wolf, they
don't hide in the slightest, the greed in their eyes.

Ye Dan's sinister phoenix eyes rise up slightly, revealing a wicked intent as he looks at You
XiaoMo and says, "Little brother of TianXin sect. It seems you are here by yourself. Looks like
your luck isn't too good. Are you going to hand over the Blue-blooded wolf willingly or do I have
to kill you?"

You XiaoMo stares at them with bulging eyes. Although he knows that killing people here is
something that Gods won't know and ghosts won't realize, he didn't expect that at the first encounter,
these people would actually be so utterly shameless.

Da Piqiu already jumped in front of You XiaoMo long ago, adopting a protective stance and baring
its fangs and brandishing its claws towards Ye Dan and the others. Although he has not yet really
hunted and killed any prey, he has been raised pretty well by You XiaoMo. With spiritual flesh, magic
water, and magic pills. It has grown up to be bigger than the usual Blue-blooded wolves, with teeth
that look extra sharp.

But because of this, Ye Dan and company are even more determined to get their hands on this Blue-
blooded wolf. One look at its stance and it is clear that its fighting ability is not weak.

"Da Piqiu is mine. We are already bonded."

You XiaoMo hugs Da Piqiu's neck, while glaring alertly at them. Don't even think that he would
hand over Da Piqiu to them!

Ye Dan does not get mad. Rather he seems pretty pleased, smiling wickedly while saying, "Da
Piqiu? Such a tasteless name. Looks like it can't be helped. Since the magic beast is already
bonded, killing you is the only way to release the bond."

Killing over treasures is a very common thing. Killing over bonded magic beasts is no exception.

Some practitioners covet the magic beasts of others. As long as the owner of the magic beast is
killed off, that person's bond to the magic beast will be automatically cut off. The magic beast will be
without a master and can be bonded at any time. However, there are also magic beasts that have
developed strong bonds with their master. These magic beasts are very difficult to bond with.

But Ye Dan doesn't pay attention to all this. If the Blue-blooded wolf isn't willing to bond with him,
he will just kill it. It would a pity but that's all it is. After all, a level eight Blue-blooded wolf is very
hard to come by.

"Don't tell me you're not curious why I'm here by myself?"

You XiaoMo sees that he really intends to kill so his brain starts to churn furiously. While thinking
why Ling Xiao is not back yet, he looks for a way to stall for time.

Da Piqiu's current strength is only at level five, not a match for Ye Dan. Although it can hold out
until Ling Xiao gets back, it will surely sustain injuries. He can't stand the sight of the people around
him getting hurt.

Ye Dan was indeed wondering that before. When they were outside, he saw his close relationship
with Lin Xiao so he thought that they would be together. But he sees no sign of Lin Xiao in the
vicinity. Hearing these words now, it confirms the suspicions in his heart.

"Boy, if you're thinking of stalling for time, let me tell you that it's no use. It doesn't matter if
Lin Xiao is nearby. You will definitely die today. Be a good boy and hand over the Blue-blooded
wolf. I may give you an easier death."

Ye Dan stares at him sinisterly.

You XiaoMo's eyes flicker. This fellow is really hard to trick.

He had just came up with these words and he already called his bluff so quickly.

Since it's like this, You XiaoMo calms himself down and speaks with composure, "I urge all of
you to leave immediately. My Senior brother is indeed nearby. When he comes back, not a single
one of you will be able to escape. I'm not trying to trick you."

Ye Dan sees that he is choosing to drink punishment wine rather than accept a toast, so he assumes
that he is only making an empty show of strength. With a flick of his sleeves, several poisoned silver
needles shoot towards You XiaoMo.

However, before the silver needles could make it within three meters of You XiaoMo, they
abruptly fall to the ground.

From the distant Green Mountain Ravine, a figure flies at an unbelievable speed towards them. In
an instant, the figure appears in front of everyone, that signature billboard smile beaming towards Ye
Dan and company.

Notes:happy union - Acacia or silk tree, Albizia julibrissin - used to represent love in Chinese
poetry and painting

seven human emotions - joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire

Xiao Piqiu to Da Piqiu - small rubber ball to big rubber ball


phoenix eyes - eyes that slant upwards on the outside

Chapter 161

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Sword formations and silencing witnesses."My Little brother warned you with good and kind
intentions. It's fine if you don't feel grateful. But how can you launch a sneak attack ne? That's
just too much!"

Ling Xiao beams as he looks at the leader, Ye Dan, showing no signs of fear whatsoever even
though he is outnumbered.

Seeing that 'Lin Xiao' finally makes an appearance, Ye Dan and company feel their blood run cold.
Ling Xiao's appearance is really something they did not expect. They clearly saw no sign of him
before. However, they are not so terrified that they immediately run away since their numbers are
greater.

Furthermore, Ye Dan's cultivation is Star level one star, just one star lower than 'Lin Xiao'. If they
get down to it, they might not lose.

But ------- Ye Dan glances alertly all around but fails to find any trace of anyone else. He can't help
feeling a little surprised in his heart.

'Lin Xiao' is actually moving around all alone with a puny mage in the Paradise realm. Can it be
that he has been entrusted with some task? In his mind, 'Lin Xiao' is the Grand disciple of TianXin
sect. So he must definitely be entrusted with some important task. There should be a lot of brothers by
his side.

Now, seeing the two of them by themselves with one magic beast, and no trace of any other
disciples from TianXin sect, although he feels very shocked in his heart, he also secretly heaves a
sigh of relief.

"Your mouth is still so sharp at the brink of death. I wonder what kind of expressions your
Master and your fellow disciples would have when they find out that you died in the Paradise
Realm. I'm really looking forward to making it a reality."

Ye Dan thinks maliciously, everyone says that 'Lin Xiao' is a prodigy but he never thought much
about it. In his heart, he always felt that he is more outstanding than 'Lin Xiao'. And now is the perfect
opportunity for him to prove this point.

"Then, that's too regrettable!"

Ling Xiao hears his unblushing big talk and looks at him with interest.

This word, regrettable, perhaps won't be understood by Ye Dan. However, You XiaoMo
understands the meaning very clearly. If Ye Dan is able to kill Ling Xiao and him here, when it gets to
the ears of Tang Fan and Kong Wen, they might even thank Ye Dan.

However, this is only one layer among the various meanings.

The real meaning Ling Xiao wants to convey is that it's regrettable that such an outstanding talent
has such misfortune to come across him today. Soon, he would be dead. Isn't that quite a pity?

You XiaoMo feels that he is getting more and more perverse. Every time he guesses what Ling
Xiao is thinking, his thoughts would always turn towards an abnormal direction.

At this moment, Ye Dan suddenly roars, "Fellow disciples, assume the formation!"

Although it doesn't seem as if there is anyone lying in ambush around them, in order to avoid
anything unexpected happening, he wants to take advantage of the time when no one has yet to
discover what is going on here, to finish off 'Lin Xiao' and You XiaoMo.

There is no need for him to elaborate. The other disciples clearly think the same way. One by one,
they unsheathe their weapons and quickly surround Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo.

Qing Cheng sect has a famous signature move. That is the sword formation!

The sword formation depends on the cultivation levels of the disciples, resulting in sword
formations of different strengths. Legend has it that if everyone is of Spiritual level, the resulting
formation will be equal to an Emperor level practitioner.

When this information leaked out, it attracted the attention of countless practitioners. Even TianXin
sect almost flinched. After that, those who don't fear death infiltrated Qing Cheng sect and attempted
to steal the sword formation. However, they all failed. And one can well imagine what kind of fate
awaited them after they failed.

However, more information leaked out after that.

No doubt the sword formation issued by Spiritual level practitioners is very fearsome. However, it
comes with quite a bit of backlash.

For example, in order for the sword formation to take shape and amass power, it has to draw a
huge amount of power from the people forming the formation. If too much power is taken, it would
affect the cultivation of the people in the formation, causing their cultivation to decline. Therefore,
this sword formation comes with significant risk, unless the people forming the formation are willing
to sacrifice their own cultivation.

Hence, even though Qing Cheng sect has this sword formation, they won't bring out a formation of
tremendous power lightly. Furthermore, the ultimate formation requires eight Spiritual level
practitioners. Even Qing Cheng sect will not dare to rashly bring out that many strong fighters.

However, only sword formations by Spiritual level practitioners would bring about such strong
side effects. Formations of slightly lesser strength wouldn't bring about such obvious side effects.
However, the might of the smaller sword formations can't be underestimated.

It's precisely because of this that Ye Dan dares to let his fellow disciples assume the sword
formation right away. After all, 'Lin Xiao's' strength is one star higher than him. One star difference is
not trivial. In a situation without a hundred percent certainty, one must fight a quick battle to force a
quick outcome.

Ling Xiao has heard of Qing Cheng sect's sword formation a long time ago. A few months ago, he
even witnessed it in person. During the siege on the demons. That time when Luo ShuHe led his
fellow disciples to put it to good use.

Truthfully, the power of the sword formation is not something to laugh at. Even the coarse skinned
and sinewy demons were not able to withstand the onslaught of eight flying swords at eight strikes per
second. If the one standing here today is not him but the real Lin Xiao, even if he doesn't get killed, he
would be seriously injured.

The eight Qing Cheng sect disciples, including Ye Dan, are all zealously mobilizing the spiritual
power in their bodies. Eight flying swords are spinning under their control, buzzing incessantly in
everyone's ears.

Although the disciples in formation are of unequal strengths, this is the real power of the sword
formation. It doesn't have strong or weak points just because the members of the formation are of
unequal strengths.

"Attack!"

Ye Dan roars once again.

It's all calm in the middle of the formation. The is not the slightest sign of fear coming of Ling Xiao
causing him to feel an acute sense of uneasiness. In his heart, he resolves that he must definitely fight a
quick battle to force a quick outcome.

With the fall of his voice, seven disciples immediately bring their flying swords to the highest
frequency and launch their attacks on Ling Xiao.

Qing Cheng sect's sword formation is one that acts like nets above and snares below. Although
there are only eight flying swords, these eight flying swords seems to cover every single corner of the
sword formation. The eight flying swords will take turns attacking the people in the middle one after
the other. If that person doesn't have great strength and defense, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

The flying swords emit pulse after pulse of humming sounds but when they are about to pierce into
Ling Xiao, a *ding* sound can be heard. The flying sword would pause in mid-air as if it has struck
something very hard. All around Ling Xiao's body, a barely detectable ripple spreads outwards. Even
though the flying sword very quickly returns to its original condition, everyone still notices it.

Ye Dan's face changes abruptly. As if thinking of something, it becomes even more unsightly. He
quickly roars, "Increase the intensity of attack."

The seven fellow disciples immediately increase the amount of spiritual energy pouring into the
flying swords without hesitation.

This battle, if it isn't you that dies, it will be me. Who would dare to take it easy!

The corner of Ling Xiao's lips rise subtly as he pushes You XiaoMo who is still in his arms to Da
Piqiu for protection for the time being. All of a sudden his palm sends out a boom towards the one
with the highest cultivation, Ye Dan. The energy from his palm hits Ye Dan squarely head on, as
easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

Ye Dan spits out a mouthful of blood violently and flies backward ten over meters. Without him, the
sword foundation that was centered on him collapses on itself. And so the seven disciples also suffer
an unbearable backlash, their faces turning whiter and whiter. They must have all received varying
degrees of internal injuries.

This is precisely the weakness of Qing Cheng sect's sword formation!

Although the sword formation is mighty, if its core, that is to say the strongest person, loses his
position, the whole sword formation is basically useless. Most importantly, sword formations that are
not dissolved normally will result in a backlash towards its members. If the difference in strength
among the members is too great, the backlash would be more severe.

Although Ling Xiao has only witnessed the sword formation once, he very quickly figured out the
weak point of the sword formation. That's why he only acted against the strongest one, Ye Dan.

Right at this moment, Ye Dan who was still lying on the ground suddenly flips over and leaps up.
Then after seeming to take some sort of healing magic pill, he gets on his flying sword and flees in the
face of his astonished fellow disciples.

Only after he flew a certain distance away can his voice be heard coming from afar, "My fellow
disciples, I wish you the best. I must report this matter back to Master so that he can take
revenge for all of you."

A look of utter disbelief immediately appears on the faces of the seven disciples. Never have they
imagined that Senior brother Ye Dan would actually abandon them so readily and escape by himself.

"Ah ....... "

Ling Xiao looks towards the direction he flees and chuckles. He never intended to let Ye Dan go
just like that. It's just that before chasing after him, he simply gave the seven abandoned people, one
hit each. Only then does he chase after him.

You XiaoMo stares dumbfoundedly as seven people drop dead in front of him. He suddenly
remembers what Ling Xiao said not too long ago.
My good fellow, it was only a short while ago ya. He is actually true to his words. He really killed
a few people right in front of him. A moment ago, they were still full of life and right now, only seven
lifeless corpses remain.

Once again he realizes just how little a life is worth in this world!

You XiaoMo feels very sad but he also understands the reason behind it.

If I don't kill you, you will kill me, a very simple equation. The road to immortality can't possibly
be free of bloodshed. Isn't it also like this on TV? As a peace-loving modern man, he feels that his
ability to adapt is quite strong.

You XiaoMo looks up to the sky and sighs. Then he shifts his gaze to the magic bags at the waists of
the corpses. After all ....... if he doesn't take it, others will. Rather than benefitting others, wouldn't it
be better to ....... benefit oneself?

And so, by the time Ling Xiao comes back with Ye Dan's magic bag, the magic bags from the seven
corpses have already been gutted clean by You XiaoMo. All the things are laid out on the grass as if
he is in the middle of categorizing them.

Ling Xiao can't help stopping in his tracks with a strange expression on his face.

Chapter 162

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Take action.You XiaoMo doesn't notice that Ling Xiao is back.

He is squatting on the ground with a look of pity on his face.

The seven disciples don't seem to have high positions in Qing Cheng sect. There are not many
useful things in the seven magic bags.

Furthermore, because they are martial artists, the things in their magic bags are all fighting
techniques, weapons, and low level magic pills for their own use. As for magic herbs, he doesn't
even see one. The only consolation is that the seven magic bags each have one hundred thousand to
two hundred thousand gold coins.

You XiaoMo makes a rough count. Altogether, his haul is about 1.02 million.

Ling Xiao looks at the scene of him piling up the fighting techniques and the other things that are of
no use to him to one side. He then picks up a magic bag while smilingly happily. Ling Xiao had
thought that he would be frightened so he had rushed back as quickly as he could after killing Ye Dan.

Looking at this now, he was simply worried for nothing. You XiaoMo's ability to adapt to dead
bodies is even stronger than he imagined.

You XiaoMo turns around to see Ling Xiao standing behind him looking at him with a teasing
expression. His gaze seems to be on the magic bag in his hand. He hastily shoves the things behind
him and awkwardly changes the subject, "Elder brother Ling. Has that Ye Dan been taken care
of?"

"All taken care of. I also brought back his magic bag."

Ling Xiao beams as he speaks. How could he not know what he is thinking? He casually tosses the
magic bag in his hand pretending not to see the covetous look in his eyes that are almost glowing
green with greed.

You XiaoMo's eyes follows the magic bag as it is tossed up and down. Saliva is almost flowing out
of his mouth.

Ye Dan's position in Qing Cheng sect is higher than the seven disciples. He is also Luo
ChengYuan's direct disciple. There's definitely good stuff in his magic bag. However, looking at Ling
Xiao's demeanor, it will be a little problematic to get his hands on this magic bag.

You XiaoMo considers for a bit and then gathers together the magic pills from the seven magic
bags. There are not many mid-level magic pills. Only twelve, and they are all level four and level
five. No level six magic pills. There are three bottles of low level magic pills. However, each bottle
has less then fifty pills. Clearly the seven people had quite a pitiful time in Qing Cheng sect.

He then fishes out a few bottles of magic pills from his own magic bag and brings them
ingratiatingly to Ling Xiao, "Elder brother Ling, these are the magic pills you like to eat. I'll give
them all to you oh."

Ling Xiao raises his eyebrows but he doesn't take all of the magic pills. Very quickly he picks out a
few of the bottles and tosses them aside as You XiaoMo looks on in shock. Those few bottles are
precisely the ones You XiaoMo picked up from the seven corpses.

You XiaoMo: "......."

What the hell. You can't just throw them if you don't like it ah. There are twelve mid-level magic
pills in there. It's all money. Money! Money ah!. You can sell them for one hundred thousand to two
hundred thousand.

You XiaoMo quickly runs over to pick up the magic pills.

Ling Xiao ignores his accusing eyes and says fussily: "I only eat the magic pills you refine."

You XiaoMo glares at him but his anger soon dissipates. He already guessed it would be like this.

Ling Xiao stops teasing him and tosses the magic bag to him while smiling: "The Stinky grass and
seeds are also in there ....... "

Because it's too smelly, he also stuffed the magic herbs and seeds inside.

"Ou ....... "

Before he could finish speaking, You XiaoMo already vomited.

Ling Xiao is speechless .......

After vomiting, the feeble You XiaoMo looks resentfully at him. Can't you say it earlier? Causing
him to be suffocated by the Stinky grass. Because he has never come across Stinky grass before, he
doesn't know how smelly it is. So, after having that much right in his face all at once, it really makes
him want to throw up.

Ling Xiao looks at him innocently. He already warned him. Who knew that his actions would be so
quick?

Actually, now is not the time to divide the spoils. Although he doesn't mind being discovered by
others, at the worst, he'll just kill them, but he knows that You XiaoMo won't be happy about it.

Actually, You XiaoMo also doesn't want to examine the contents of Ye Dan's magic bag right here.
This is the scene of the crime. If they are discovered by others, he has no doubts that Ling Xiao would
silence them by killing them off.

So after hastily clearing everything away, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao leave the Green Mountain
Ravine. Da Piqiu is unwilling to return to the dimension so it lags far behind them.

Half an hour after they leave, a few people reach the Green Mountain Ravine. As expected, they
find seven dead bodies. These people also discover Ye Dan who was killed by Ling Xiao.

"This is?"

One of them wonders out loud.

"The disciple of Qing Cheng sect's Luo ChengYuan, Ye Dan. His cultivation is Star level, one
star."

One of the others gives him the answer right away.

"Haha. So quickly and a Star level fighter is dead. Can you make out who did it? I wonder
what is his strength?"

That person suddenly lets out a strange laugh, seemingly very interested in the person that killed Ye
Dan.

"I can't."

The other person answers decisively.

Hearing this answer, that person's lips open wide revealing horrifyingly white teeth, "Since it's
like that, leave behind the things we got from the TianXin sect people we killed. Put the blame
on TianXin sect."

"Yes!"

With those words, these few people disappear once again. What was originally just seven dead
bodies of the Qing Cheng sect disciples, now there's also the corpse of Ye Dan. In his hand is a magic
bag. Inside the magic bag the word 'Xin' is embroidered - precisely the mark that is only used by
TianXin sect.

It looks like a very poor attempt to plant stolen goods but it is actually effective in the Paradise
realm.

At the same time, bloody massacres are taking place in quite a few places in the Paradise realm. In
here, everyone will be tested. Hostility between sects, camaraderie within sects, lack of humanity or
loss of humanity, people are dying one after another, while some are more fortunate. This kind of
situation will continue for a month.

Back to Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo. The destination they are heading for is the Jade Spiritual
Cave marked on the map.

Jade Spiritual Cave is rather famous in the Paradise Realm because that place is covered with
mid-level magic herbs. It's also one of the places with the most mid-level magic beasts. If they have
no other destination, most people would also choose to go to the Jade Spiritual Cave.

However, the road to the Jade Spiritual Cave is rugged and dangerous. One would easily come
across all sorts of magic beasts that travel in packs, such as the black crows they came across before.
Although their strengths are weak, they are hard to deal with because of their numbers. Therefore, it
seems to be impossible to reach the Jade Spiritual Cave without encountering some difficulty.

But it's not the same with a map. Relying on the map, one can effectively avoid the lairs of the
magic beasts and find the fastest and most convenient way to reach the Jade Spiritual Cave.

However, because their map is incomplete, they would occasionally come across the habitats of
magic beasts that live in packs. It's just that it's much less frequent than what others come across. They
also don't have to face too much danger.

The one in charge of gathering the magic herbs and seeds is Ling Xiao. They are able to leave the
place before alarming the magic beasts.

Of course all this is just what You XiaoMo thinks. Ling Xiao doesn't bring him in so he doesn't see
it with his own eyes. If he were to see it, he probably wouldn't think like this anymore because
judging by Ling Xiao's character, he is simply not someone that would move around stealthily and
cautiously.

Furthermore, he is not a mage so he has no way of using his soul force like You XiaoMo to dig up
the magic herbs. Therefore, he would simply dig up a small patch including the soil around the magic
herbs, and then put it into his dimension. However, if the magic herb were to drop seeds, he would
simply pick up the seeds.

Such obvious movements would obviously alarm the magic beasts. However, every time Ling Xiao
walks in, he would simply release an intimidating pressure, frightening the magic beasts, causing them
all to fall to the ground and shiver in fear. No need to talk about resisting.

But on the way, Da Piqiu attracts some trouble.

The nature of the blue-blooded wolf is to kill. Da Piqiu is no exception.

As a result, because he was over-excited, he accidentally provoked a swarm of ghost-faced bees.


At that time, Ling Xiao happened to be away picking magic herbs for You XiaoMo. Luckily he made
it back in time. Otherwise, he would have definitely been stung by the ghost-faced bees.

Ghost-faced bees are a type of low-level magic beasts. Just one is not strong but if ten thousand
come all at once, even a Moon level fighter would be sucked dry of blood. On top of that, the stinger
is coated with an extremely effective numbing anesthetic. One would lose all ability to move if stung.
For a specific demonstration, one can refer to the one that was stung, Da Piqiu.

If Ling Xiao did not come back in time, Da Piqiu would have turned into a deflated ball.

After that, Da Piqiu that had lost all ability to move, was temporarily put back into the dimension
by You XiaoMo.

Walking and stopping along the way, Ling Xiao dug up quite a lot of rare magic herbs for You
XiaoMo. However, most of them were low-level. Very few were mid-level. By the time they reached
the Jade Spiritual Cave, two days have already passed.

The moment they land, the sound of clashing swords catch their attention.

The sound is coming from somewhere in front. A huge lake lies across the road to the Jade
Spiritual Cave. The only way to reach the Jade Spiritual Cave is to fly across the lake. Right now,
there seems to be a group of people before the lake.

Looking into the distance, there are two factions exchanging blows below.

As luck would have it, Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo recognize these two groups.

The group on the left is dressed in green robes. On the back of the robes, the mark that is unique to
TianXin sect is imprinted. The grave-faced leader is Elder Shi. The people on the other side are from
Qing Cheng sect but it's not Luo ShuHe but a Second generation Elder from Qing Cheng sect with a
Star level Seven star cultivation.

However, the combined strength of the people from Qing Cheng sect is a little higher than the
people from TianXin sect because they have another Star level Three star Second generation Elder.
That is to say, if they fight it out, TianXin sect only has Elder Shi, one Star level fighter. If he is
unable to stop the attacks from the two Star level fighters, TianXin sect's disciples will not make it
out alive.

That's why Elder Shi's face is so unsightly. Out of all the people to come across, they just have to
run into Qing Cheng sect's strongest group.

Ling Xiao has no intention of caring about the life and death of Elder Shi and the rest but You
XiaoMo won't allow it because Fang ChenLe is also down there.

Fang ChenLe has no combat ability. If Elder Shi falls, he will definitely be the first to get killed
because his talent is high, among the top five in the Mage Division. Even the people from Qing Cheng
sect have heard of him. They just have to kill him and TianXin sect would lose a future high-level
mage.

Elder Shi also clearly knows this so he sends two disciples of considerable strength to protect him.

"Elder brother Ling, what are we going to do ya?"


You XiaoMo pulls Ling Xiao's arm urgently.

Although he doesn't understand combat strategy, he can see that TianXin sect is somewhat at a
disadvantage. Seeing Elder Shi retreat step by step, a few Qing Cheng sect disciples inch closer and
closer towards Elder brother.

"Shh!"

Ling Xiao motions for him to stop panicking and picks up a pebble from the ground.

The pebble is roughly half the size of a thumb. Ling Xiao puts it in between two fingers and twists
it lightly into two small pieces. Exerting force from his fingertips, the two tiny fragments fly swiftly,
shooting off in two different directions.

One of the pieces hits the Qing Cheng sect disciple that is going to kill Fang ChenLe while the other
piece shoots towards that Qing Cheng sect Elder with the highest cultivation.

The sneak attack that appears out of nowhere causes that Elder to turn pale with fright. He wards
off Elder Shi's attack but is unable to stop the small pebble. After being hit, the spiritual energy in his
meridians surge in chaos causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood violently. By the time he inspects
the condition in his body, he discovers that he has already sustained internal injuries leaving him
extremely shocked.

Although Elder Shi isn't clear about what actually happened, his reaction is very fast. He
immediately seizes the opportunity and concentrates all his firepower on the other Elder whose
strength is much inferior to his. Because the difference in strength is too great, that Elder was very
quickly pierced through the heart by Elder Shi's sword.

That Elder with the upper hand discovers that someone is secretly helping TianXin sect and on top
of that that person's strength doesn't seem to be weak. In extreme shock, he hastily orders his junior
disciples to withdraw.

Elder Shi doesn't pursue them to press for victory. Fighting off two Elders one after another, the
spiritual energy in his body is almost depleted. Furthermore, he also realizes that there is someone
secretly helping them. He doesn't know what is that person's intention so he can't rashly take off.

"Thank you Elder for your help. Would Elder care to show yourself to allow my humble self
to thank you?"

Elder Shi is certain that the person that acted is not from TianXin sect. Otherwise, he would have
already shown himself. Furthermore, that person's strength seems to be not weak. Able to use a
pebble to inflict internal injuries on Qing Cheng sect's Elder, clearly that person's strength is
equivalent to theirs. If they can befriend him, the following journey will definitely go much more
smoothly.

Because there is a restriction on cultivation level in the Paradise Realm, they don't suspect that it
could a fighter of even higher cultivation.

Ling Xiao pays him no heed as he is currently holding his hand over You XiaoMo's mouth.

Chapter 163

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Rescue and bonding"Leave this place!"

A commanding voice suddenly comes down from the heavens along with a tremendous pressure.
Other than Elder Shi, everyone else's expression changes instantly.

This person is so blunt. He clearly doesn't know them so why did he take action to save them?
Even Elder Shi can't make any sense of it.

Elder Shi faces switches between green and white. Although it is a fact that he saved them, but
using that as a reason to chase them away is rather conceited. It can't be that he wants to take all the
magic herbs and magic beasts at the Jade Spiritual Cave for himself?

Thinking about it, it's too improbable. Even a Star level Seven star fighter wouldn't be able to
swallow something as large as the Jade Spiritual Cave. What more since there are quite a lot of mid-
level magic beasts inside, with quite a few at Star level and above. Furthermore, even if that person
is capable of gobbling it all up, there is not enough time.

No matter how hard he thinks, it doesn't cross Elder Shi's mind that this Elder he is calling is
actually Ling Xiao who should be heading towards the North. But he doesn't think that deeply right
now. He's just trying to sort out in his heart who would fit this person's identity.

Before he can figure it out, something unexpected happens.

From beneath their feet, the earth suddenly shakes violently. Swaying and shaking as if it's an
earthquake. Quite a few disciples are caught unprepared, falling to the ground. A deafening sound
comes from behind them.

Elder Shi turns around to take a look. Instantly all sense of bravery crumbles away and extreme
horror is reflected on his face. He has no time to continue talking with that distant mysterious person.
He roars in panic at all his disciples: "Everyone run!"

Enormous waves suddenly surge to the skies from the originally calm lake. All at once, the level of
water rises ten over meters. A gigantic shadow appears before everyone's eyes. Along with the
*hualala* sound of the water, a gigantic magic beast appears from the water.

This is an extremely gigantic magic beast. The body emerging from the water is over ten meters
tall. No need to mention that this may be only half of its body. The entire magic beast is dark purple in
color. A large pair of fiercely glowing round eyes sweep across.

Poisonous flood dragon. Its appearance is exactly like a dragon, the dark purple body covered in
scales. The surface of the scales are glittering, emitting ice-cold rays of light. Clearly it's adopting a
defensive stance. A complete set of conical fangs can be seen in its horrifying open mouth. Four
sturdy limbs, each with five sharp claws hang over the edge of the lake. Its protruding, large and
round eyes are bloodshot and staring fiercely right at them.

This is none other than a level eight poisonous flood dragon!

Based on Elder Shi's Star level cultivation, battling with a level eight poisonous flood dragon will
only result in death. No wonder he was so terrified after seeing the poisonous flood dragon. The truth
is, if no one saves them, there is no doubt that all these people will end up dead.

Right this instant, there is no need for Elder Shi to shout. They themselves know that they are facing
an imminent catastrophe. All thoughts of the Jade Spiritual Cave flies from their minds as they start
fleeing in all directions.

Under the threat of losing their lives, the two warrior division disciples are unable to take Fang
ChenLe's safety into consideration. They each cast him aside and flee for their lives.

Luckily Fang ChenLe is not a naive person who doesn't understand the ways of the world. When he
realized something unexpected was happening, he very quickly brought up his guard. Now, seeing a
poisonous flood dragon appear suddenly from the bottom of the lake, his face turns pale but unlike the
others, he is not as panicked.

It's just that his luck doesn't seem to be too good. The moment that poisonous flood dragon stepped
onto dry land, it actually chased towards the direction he ran.

Elder Shi who was not far away also witnesses this scene. A look of uncertainty appears on his
face. After a moment of hesitation he abruptly turns around and increases his speed as he flees from
the spot, actually no longer caring about Fang ChenLe's fate.

If you think about it, no matter how important Fang ChenLe is, he is still not as important as one's
own life. Who would willingly deliver themselves to the doorstep of certain death? Elder Shi is no
fool. As for the TianXin sect disciples there at the time, he is not so righteous as to sacrifice these
disciples just for a third generation disciple.

But, since Elder Shi is already like that, the other disciples who are weaker than him are even
more unlikely to go help Fang ChenLe. They are unable to even fend for themselves. In an instant, not
even their shadows can be seen. As for that poisonous flood dragon, for some unknown reason, it
persists in chasing after Fang ChenLe.

Fang ChenLe is only a level four mage. No combat ability when combat ability is needed. Even his
physical strength is not as strong as that of martial artists. Very quickly, the poisonous flood dragon
catches up to him.

A gigantic shadow envelops him from above. The way forward is blocked by the poisonous flood
dragon. Its twin perfectly round eyes are fixed on Fang ChenLe who appears very tiny in its eyes.
Rays of ruthlessness radiate from its ferocious face as if it would eat up Fang ChenLe in the next
second.

There is not a drop of blood left on Fang ChenLe's pale face. Although he knows that it would be
hard to escape death this time, his stubborn eyes still reflect his unwillingness. His life has just
started. How could he be willing to let it end right here and right now?

Of course he saw how Elder Shi and the others didn't save him from the face of death. It can't be
denied that he feels bitter in his heart but he feels no hate because in this struggle, if their positions
were reversed, he may make the same decision as them.

However, he is after all only a normal man. He doesn't want to die. He feels hopelessness as well
as unwillingness in his heart. However, he can only watch with eyes wide open, his own tragic death
in the jaws of the poisonous flood dragon. This type of powerlessness is suddenly magnified. Right at
this moment, he suddenly understands why ZiLin always wanted to be a martial artist.

If he can do it over, he would also want to be a martial artist who can summon the wind and rain!

Under the roars of the poisonous flood dragon, Fang ChenLe finally can't stand it any longer and
falls to the ground sitting. A thread of regret rises in his heart. With death hanging over his head, he
finally realizes how reluctant he is to leave his Master, reluctant to leave his fellow disciples,
especially the one that grew up with him from when they were young, ZiLin. If he finds out that he has
died, he would probably feel a deep sorrow. And there's also that Little brother who always makes
him worried .......

Just as Fang ChenLe closes his eyes and surrenders to his fate, the roars of the poisonous flood
dragon suddenly dies down.

After not hearing any sound of movement for some time, Fang ChenLe can't help but open his eyes,
only to be shocked speechless by the scene in front of his eyes.

He sees the gigantic poisonous flood dragon cowering on the ground. Its bloodshot eyes have
already regained their clarity, replaced instead with a look of terror, as if something a hundred
percent terrifying to it has appeared. It lowers its gigantic head in fear and trepidation.

Fang ChenLe doesn't know what happened but he very quickly connects the dots to that mysterious
person who helped them out earlier. Even though he isn't absolutely sure, it can only be him.

Fang ChenLe hastily scrambles up and backs away from the reach of the poisonous flood dragon.
He cups his hands respectfully towards the emptiness in front of him and says with emotion: "Many
thanks to Elder for lending a helping hand. This favor of saving my life, junior will never forget
even after losing all my teeth!"

After some time, a rather unhappy voice suddenly rises from the emptiness, "Why are you just
standing there? Use your soul force and try to see if you can bond with it."
Fang ChenLe is stunned. He feels that he must be hallucinating. That mysterious person wants to
help him bond with the poisonous flood dragon? He most definitely must have heard it wrong.
Furthermore, this voice seems to suggest that he's somewhat unwilling?

Of course Ling Xiao is not doing it willingly. In his eyes, Fang ChenLe is his imaginary love rival.
Who would be willing to help someone they don't like? He is after all not a saint!

However, You XiaoMo at his side is not pleased!

Earlier, when he saw Fang ChenLe in danger, his whole face turned white in fright and he would
have called out long ago if Ling Xiao wasn't in time to cover his mouth.

After that, Ling Xiao reluctantly and unwillingly rescued Fang ChenLe.

Although You XiaoMo heaves a sigh of relief, when he thinks about the actions of Elder Shi and the
rest casting Elder brother aside, he is worried that the same thing will happen in the future. So he
thinks that if Elder brother can bond with this magic beast, although its terrifying appearance is a little
unsightly, if there is this magic beast guarding him, he probably won't be in any more danger.

However, when he voiced out his thoughts, he was flatly rejected by Ling Xiao. You XiaoMo has
yet to be this concerned over him and now he is actually showing concern for his Elder brother in
front of him?

Ever since he realized his own feelings, Ling Xiao is very unhappy about how he is always
worried about his brothers. And now, wanting him to help Fang ChenLe bond with a magic beast,
don't even think about it!

How could You XiaoMo know what he is thinking? He is only thinking naively that he wants the
people who are good to him to get by well, that's it. So he simply promises Ling Xiao a few favors
like before.

Who could have known that Ling Xiao would harden his heart this time as if he had just eaten
measuring weights. Now matter how many extra magic pills he promises to give him each day, he
refuses to budge.

You XiaoMo feels helpless and can only ask, "Then what do you want in exchange for your
help?"

Ling Xiao didn't intend to relent but these words suddenly gave him an idea. The corner of his lips
rise up to reveal a suspicious smile. He pauses for a bit before leaning in to his ear to say a sentence.

One second later, You XiaoMo is bright red. He simply did not think that Ling Xiao would propose
this condition. Clearly their brains have never operated on the same track .......

You XiaoMo has the impulse to bite Ling Xiao. This fellow clearly has ulterior motives. He must
have been waiting for this instant. But ....... seeing Elder brother's still colorless face, he concedes.
After all, this is something that would happen sooner or later.
And so, You XiaoMo grits his teeth as he agrees to Ling Xiao's condition.

Ling Xiao is happy hearing him actually agree but when thinks about how You XiaoMo only agreed
because of Fang ChenLe, he immediately feels unhappy.

That's how Fang ChenLe came to hear that hallucinatory voice.

Ling Xiao doesn't hear him answer so he says impatiently, "Hmph, if you're not willing, then
forget about it."

Before You XiaoMo could get anxious, Fang ChenLe opens his mouth.

"Wait, Elder wait. Junior is wi ....... willing!"

Fang ChenLe is so agitated that his whole face is red. This kind of opportunity is not something you
come across everyday. This mysterious Elder is actually willing to extend a helping hand. If he
refuses, he would probably curse himself to death.

"Then just get with it ba." says Ling Xiao.

Fang ChenLe takes a few steps forward. This poisonous flood dragon is indeed a level eight magic
beast. But right now, it is still only a level seven magic beast, still a while away from level eight.
However, compared to a level eight magic beast, it is easier to bond with a level seven magic beast.

What is even more surprising is that the poisonous flood dragon doesn't resist. It simply accepts the
soul force that Fang ChenLe sends into its chakra between its eyebrows.

If others don't understand what that pressure on him is, as a magic beast that has gained spiritual
consciousness, it is very clear on how noble that person's bloodline is. Among the magic beasts, it
definitely belongs to royalty. Just the pressure from the bloodline alone makes it unable to raise the
slightest bit of resistance.

So, being able to make such a high level magic beast terrified, it can only be a genuine noble
bloodline. Therefore, it can only submit. Otherwise, that person would instantly chop of its head.

The gentle soul force enters without any hindrance and contacts the soul of the poisonous flood
dragon. Both sides establish a bond very quickly. The whole process seems so smooth that it seems
unbelievable.

Although Fang ChenLe has never bonded a magic beast before, he has heard others talk about how
hard it is to bond a high level magic beast. However, he definitely didn't feel any resistance at all.
Rather than giving himself credit, he knows that the mysterious person must be helping him yet again.

Fang ChenLe doesn't know how to repay this mysterious person. There are many questions hidden
in his heart but he doesn't think deeply over them. He only knows that this mysterious person won't
harm him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have saved him and he also wouldn't have helped him bond the
poisonous flood dragon.

It's just that before he could think up words of thanks, Ling Xiao's impatient voice is heard again,
"You can go now."

Hearing the voice of the mysterious person, Fang ChenLe also doesn't dare to delay. He cups his
hands respectfully, "Elder, today's favor, Junior will not forget it this entire life. Junior is
TianXin sect's Fang ChenLe. In the future, if Elder has any use for me, please send orders."

With those words, he brings the poisonous flood dragon along with him and leaves.

After making sure that no one is left, Ling Xiao takes You XiaoMo out of hiding.

A level eight magic beast. Fang ChenLe's luck can no longer be described as ordinary. In a place
like the Paradise Realm where danger lurks in every corner, Fang ChenLe's survival has a degree of
guarantee.

After this dangerous period is over, Fang ChenLe would probably become even more famous.
TianXin sect will also rise in prominence by promoting his prominence. It must be said that if the
poisonous flood dragon succeeds in advancing to level eight, it would mean that TianXin sect would
have an additional Spiritual level fighter. Furthermore, this level eight magic beast's combat ability is
much more impressive than ordinary Spiritual level fighters.

Chapter 164

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Jade Spiritual Cave"Are you satisfied now?"

Ling Xiao tilts his head and glances at You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo's eyes are beaming as he nods his head. Of course he's satisfied. He knows that if he
dares to say that he is not satisfied, Ling Xiao would definitely give it to him so he quickly changes
the topic, "Elder brother Ling, who would expect that a no less than level eight magic beast
would appear here? Then wouldn't it be even more awesome inside the Jade Spiritual Cave?"

You XiaoMo is extremely curious. There is one thing he has always found to be very peculiar.

Since Elder Shi chose to lead his people to this road, it can't be that he didn't know that there
would be a poisonous flood dragon in the lake.

But seeing how he acted just now, it's as if he didn't know about it at all.

Although this is You XiaoMo's first time in the Paradise Realm, he knew that he would need to
prepare beforehand. Therefore it is even more impossible that TianXin sect didn't make the necessary
preparations. After all, they already came here fifty years ago so they should have collected quite a
lot of information.

"The poisonous flood dragon doesn't hide in the lake to cultivate all the time. Since Elder Shi
didn't receive information on this matter, clearly the poisonous flood dragon wasn't in the lake
fifty years ago."

Ling Xiao voices his guess. He already discovered the existence of the poisonous flood dragon
earlier. If not for his consideration for You XiaoMo's feelings, he would not have bothered to warn
them to leave. Especially since they weren't the least bit grateful.

"But ....... "

Ling Xiao continues on, "This lake isn't really that great of a place for cultivation. Since the
poisonous flood dragon chose this place, there may be magic herbs down below."

"Really?"

You XiaoMo's expression immediately livens up. His shining eyes are fixed on the surface of the
lake that has already calmed down.

The poisonous flood dragon is currently of level seven strength. That means the magic herb at the
bottom of the lake is at least a level seven magic herb. Right now, he doesn't even have a single stalk
of level seven magic herb.

"Do you want to hide in the dimension first? I'll go down to take a look and call you when
I'm back."

As soon as Ling Xiao says those words, his arm is grabbed by You XiaoMo.

"No, I want to go down with you. You won't be able to recognize a level seven magic herb.
Furthermore, there may be other magic herbs inside the lake."

You XiaoMo says determinedly.

Ling Xiao considers for a moment and agrees. It would be very troublesome to dig out the whole
bottom of the lake under water. After all, they still want to go look for other magic herbs so they
shouldn't waste too much time on this. So, he takes You XiaoMo with him and dives to the bottom of
the lake .......

The lake water is very clear, about a hundred meters deep. The bottom of the lake is covered with
small pebbles and such. It really doesn't look like a place where magic herbs would grow. But it's
unlikely that the poisonous flood dragon would guard a lake for no real reason.

Finally they found a stalk of level seven magic herb in a corner of the lake bottom. However, this
stalk of magic herb is a while away from maturity. As luck would have it, You XiaoMo has seen it
before.

There was a time when You XiaoMo was called over to see Kong Wen a few times.

At that time there was a small patch in Kong Wen's courtyard that was planted with high level
magic herbs. This stalk of magic herb is precisely one of them.

Level seven magic herb, Lease of Life magic herb, is the most important magic herb to refine the
level seven Regain Life magic pill. As long as the soul is still present, it doesn't matter how heavy the
injuries received, the person will recover. But there is a side effect.

That is, after you use the Regain Life magic pill to get back your life, your cultivation will
plummet. But there are still a lot of people fighting for it. After all, having a Regain Life magic pill is
equivalent to having two lives. Exchanging level of cultivation for one's life is worth it!

You XiaoMo's luck is not bad. This stalk of Lease of Life herb is medium quality. With this as the
foundation, he only needs to give it lots of magic water in the following days and it would definitely
become a stalk of high quality magic herb.

After transplanting the Lease of Life magic herb into his dimension, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao
hurry to the Jade Spiritual Cave.

There is not just one road to the Jade Spiritual Cave. On top of that, they delayed on the way for
quite a while. So by the time they reached, a few groups of people have already barged into the Jade
Spiritual Cave.

The Jade Spiritual Cave is the place where mid-level magic herbs and mid-level magic beasts
abound. Before they came near, they can already hear the angry roars of the magic beasts. The floor of
the humongous cave is covered with green vines of unknown name. Ancient trees soar to the skies
blocking the sunlight. They continuously discover traces of magic beasts along the way.

It's too bad that the magic herbs they are guarding are those that You XiaoMo already has. Other
than that, there are also a few magic beast lairs that have been cleaned out. The ground is still
covered in fresh blood that hasn't dried, indicating that a fierce fight just occurred not too long ago.

You XiaoMo wants to find the Seven Star Grass. Seven Star Grass is a level six magic herb.
According to the map, Seven Star Grass is located at the Southern part of the Jade Spiritual Cave.
However, it isn't clear where exactly it is. The South part is so vast. If they have to look for it, it
would be like fishing for a needle in the ocean.

"Little brother, bring out those two Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects."

Ling Xiao who was standing on the green vines and evaluating the surroundings, suddenly says to
You XiaoMo.

The Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects feed on Seven Star Grass, so their sensitivity to the
Seven Star Grass should be very high. There is nothing better to lead them to it.

You XiaoMo clearly understands this point. As soon as Ling Xiao finishes speaking, he disappears,
and reappears a moment later holding a jade box in his hands. The two insects are lying inside, the
Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects that Ling Xiao gave him that time.

Because they haven't eaten for too long, the two Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects are breathing
rather weakly. Luckily, it's not too much of a hindrance. After You XiaoMo lets them out, one male
and one female instantly come back to life with blood pumping as they suddenly start to fly, flying
rather crookedly towards one direction.

This time, You XiaoMo doesn't let Ling Xiao carry him over because he also let Da Piqiu out. Da
Piqiu is now at level five. Over here, his strength is probably not high but it's more than enough to
bring along a You XiaoMo.

Although Ling Xiao is not too happy, Da Piqiu really should be strengthened.

Blue blooded wolves are the type that grow up by battling. If they are left too long in the
dimension, not only will the nature of the Blue blooded wolf wear away, the power to kill will also
definitely weaken. This is not something he wants to see.

If the Blue blooded wolf is unable to protect You XiaoMo, what is the use of having it around?

Da Piqiu that was let out, lets out a howl. Luckily the sound of beasts howling is a normal
occurrence in the Jade Spiritual Cave. Therefore, no one takes notice of this howl. Soon after, Da
Piqiu's whole body leaps up and flies forward at top speed.

Although it is only at level five now, unable to fly through the air, its running speed on level ground
is not slow. In just a few seconds, it speeds through several thousand meters, closely tailing behind
the pair of seven star hidden fragrance insects.

Ling Xiao doesn't run to take the lead. Instead, he follows close by You XiaoMo, surveying the
surroundings from time to time.

Half an hour later, the seven star hidden fragrance insects finally start to slow down.

In front of their eyes is a luxuriantly green mountain range. Everywhere is covered with abundant
growth and filled with an extraordinary amount of spiritual energy.

As You XiaoMo gets down from Da Piqiu, he hears the angry roar of a magic beast. Not far ahead,
he can faintly see what seems to be several flashes of light.

The two seven star hidden fragrance insects are no longer flying forward. Instead, they are circling
around You XiaoMo, as if urging him. They are so aware because You XiaoMo has already bonded
with them. The seven star hidden fragrance insects that have acknowledged their master naturally
want You XiaoMo to lead. Furthermore, they can sense the danger ahead.

"Elder brother Ling, it seems that someone else beat us here." says You XiaoMo.

Ling Xiao wraps his arm around his waist and says: "We'll go over and take a look. Don't let Da
Piqiu follow. Let him wander around by himself. As a blue-blooded wolf, how can it not fight?
We'll regroup two hours later."

"Wei ....... "

Before You XiaoMo could protest, he was brought away by Ling Xiao.

Da Piqiu stays on the spot. Its silvery white tail wags faster and faster. The two ruby eyes glow
eerily giving off red flashes of light, especially after Ling Xiao said those words. The strong red
flashes get stronger and stronger, a sign that it is excited and charged up. He looks at the direction
they left for a bit and then turns around and bounds away into the thick growth of grass.

It never crossed You XiaoMo's mind that his Da Piqiu, when it returns back here two hours later,
its silvery fur would be completely dyed red with blood, its whole body reeking of blood. The fresh
blood would still be dripping *di di da da* down its fur. Its cultivation would also have increased a
huge chunk. But ....... there would also be a long string of troubles following behind.

After a moment, that group of people appear in the field of vision of Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo.

Dressed uniformly in gray robes, a few of them complete with gray hoods. Clearly they are from
XingLuo group.
On the other side of the people from XingLuo group are XiaoYao group and JiLe tower. The two
forces make up twelve people, mostly of Sun and Moon level. The strongest ones are two Star level
three star and four star elders. Not anyone that You XiaoMo nor Ling Xiao would recognize.

At this moment, these twelve people are surrounded by the people from XingLuo group, looking
like they have their backs up against the wall.

Overall, the combined strength of the people from the XingLuo group is clearly much higher than
that of the people from XiaoYao group and JiLe tower. Among them is a Star level seven star middle
aged man whose hood has been lifted off his face, revealing a rather wicked face covered in a thin
layer of black mist. He stares at the twelve people with a look of blatant savagery.

"Eleventh Star, what is the meaning of this? Isn't it up to one's own ability to get magic herbs
and magic beasts? It can't be that you're thinking of killing us?"

XiaoYao group's Mu Sheng speaks harshly while looking extremely imposing.

"So what if I kill all of you. If want to blame something, blame it on your bad luck. You just
had to run into us and interrupt our plan."

The middle aged man laughs out loud. The large sword in his hand is stained with a lot of blood,
dripping to the ground as he laughs. A little while later, he stops laughing. He says in a grave voice
with a murderous look in his eyes, "Kill them all. Leave no one alive."

Mu Sheng cries out in terror, "Eleventh Star, if TianXin sect and Qing Cheng sect find out that
you all are colluding with the de ....... "

Before he could say demons, his head was chopped off by someone who snuck up behind him. The
one who snuck up behind him was one of the JiLe tower disciples.

Chapter 165

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Silencing WitnessesHearing this, even if the rest of the words are not voiced out, everyone there
already understands.

What can he be referring to by saying de...? If not demons, what else can it be? Furthermore,
recently TianXin sect and the other major forces have been like fire and water with the demons. The
appearance of the XingLuo group indeed looks a little strange.

As for that disciple from JiLe tower with his sneak attack, he's probably a spy for XingLuo group.

The reason why he beheaded Mu Sheng before he could finish his words is because Mu Sheng
purposely spoke in a very loud voice. Therefore, he was afraid that there would be people nearby. If
they overheard it and informed Qing Cheng sect and TianXin sect, XingLuo group would be in a very
difficult position.

Therefore, in order to protect the grand scheme of XingLuo group, the disciples of XiaoYao group
and JiLe tower have to die.

By the time the last XiaoYao group disciple falls to the ground, the surrounding area is already
flooded with the overpowering stench of blood. Every single corpse is beyond recognition.

At this moment, five men in black robes appear next to those corpses.

The men in black robes are extremely tall. Over two meters, almost three meters tall. The towering
Eleventh Star instantly appears very short and small in comparison.

The two sides exchange a few words. The five men in black robes suddenly squat down next to the
corpses. One by one, dark hands stretch out from inside the black robes and latch on to one of the
corpses before pulling them into their black robes, followed by *ka chi ka chi* sounds. The sound of
bones being gnawed can suddenly be heard. Bright red blood flow out from beneath their feet. A
newly severed arm suddenly falls out from inside one of the black robes .......

"Ou!!!"

Someone throws up. This person is .......

"Who is it!"

Eleventh Star's face changes visibly. His sharp and piercing gaze is directed towards the direction
of the sound of vomiting.

That direction is precisely where You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao are. And the person that is throwing
up is of course You XiaoMo. The five men in black robes eating corpses made him unable to stop
himself from throwing up. He just got used to bloody scenes 'after much difficulty'.

Eleventh Star is not the only one that heard the sound. There's also the five men in black robes.
They immediately stop feeding, some of them simply tossing out half eaten corpses.

Some of the corpses have their top halves eaten, some have their bottom halves eaten, and some of
them only have the four limbs remaining .......

All sorts of horrible sights. Extremely bloody, exceedingly nauseating. The gleaming white
intestines, brain spatter and the like. Everything is flowing out, and so .......

"Ou!!!"

You XiaoMo can't hold it in again. With an empty stomach, he throws up the acidic stomach juices.

The moment he made a sound, that Eleventh Star immediately figures out his exact position. Very
quickly, he finds You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao. Seeing that they have been discovered, Ling Xiao also
doesn't intend to hide any more. He carries You XiaoMo who is vomiting non-stop and places him on
one of the towering great vines.

This face of Ling Xiao's, someone like Eleventh Star is definitely not unfamiliar with. One look
and Eleventh Star's expression immediately changes, "TianXin sect's Lin Xiao?"

Saying that, his sharp eyes immediately lock onto their surroundings as if trying to see how many
people are still hiding around them.

What surprises him is that other than the two of them, he doesn't discover anyone else. On the
surface, it looks as if there is only the two of them. However, Eleventh Star doesn't immediately let
down his guard, looking at Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo with a hundred percent vigilance mixed in
with threads of ruthlessness.

Ling Xiao glances at them in amusement. XingLuo group teaming up with demons? Really
something he never expected.

But considering the actions of XingLuo group these few years, indeed there have been visible trails
of spider webs and horses' hooves. It's definitely possible that XingLuo group have been working
together with demons. Originally, he planned to pretend that he didn't see anything. Unfortunately, man
proposes but god disposes.

Ling Xiao lowers his head and looks at You XiaoMo who is vomiting non-stop. He pats his back
gently, "Little brother, are you alright?"

You XiaoMo doesn't answer his question but a hand stretches out in front of him and tugs on his
clothes. Does it look like he is alright? God in heaven, this is the first time he witnesses the
monstrosity of people being eaten.
Of course this is not the first time he witnessed such a bloody scene. It happened before in on the
green plains outside HunJi city, limbs covering the ground. That time, he felt the impact very strongly
but it happened rather quickly and there were no man-eating monsters.

Although he watched quite a few horror films in his past life, some of them depicting man-eating
zombies, those were all fiction, separated by a screen. In his heart, he knows that it is fake. When did
he ever have the 'pleasure' of viewing it up close? Furthermore, it is a live version. The assault on his
senses is not small. It's good enough that he didn't throw up his whole stomach.

Ling Xiao beams as he pats his back, "It's good that you're used to it."

Get used to your sister! You XiaoMo rolls his eyes at him. Again with those words.

"Tian Xin sect's prodigy Lin Xiao actually appearing here by himself? *ha ha ha* Take it that
your luck is bad. Looks like there will be a great harvest today. After killing you, it would be as if
TianXin sect has lost an arm. I believe Grand Master and Young Master will definitely be very
pleased."

After observing for a long time, Eleventh Star is finally confident that other than the two of them,
there are no other TianXin sect disciples around. Only then does he laugh out loud, with a savage and
wicked look on his face.

He seems to be already picturing the reward the Grand Master will give him.

It must be known that although TianXin sect's Lin Xiao is only a Star level two star fighter, 'he' is
only thirty years old, about the same as Qing Cheng sect's Luo ShuHe. Very few people can reach Star
level at this age, such as their Young Master, Xing TianXie.

XingLuo group's Young Master is already forty one years old. His cultivation is two stars higher
than Ling Xiao's and Luo ShuHe's.

However, when the Young Master was thirty years old, his cultivation was only Star level one star.
Although it is only lower than these two people by one star, the arrogant Young Master views it as a
humiliation. Therefore, he has always regarded them as enemies.

Their Grand Master also feels that if Lin Xiao and Luo ShuHe are allowed to mature, they will
become XingLuo group's biggest obstacle one day in the future. Therefore, he had decreed long ago
that during this opening of the Paradise Realm, if there is an opportunity, these two must be killed.

Eleventh Star never expected that before he could go looking for them, one of them would present
himself to him. Furthermore, there is only one person by Lin Xiao's side. And it's only a puny mage
riding on his coat tails. Isn't this God doing him a favor?

"Eleventh Star, I want Lin Xiao's body."

At this time, one of the men in black robes suddenly opens his mouth.
The demon's voice is rather hoarse. Like the sound of some rusty machinery that struggles to turn. A
barely concealed excitement can be detected, as if Lin Xiao is already in his pocket.

Eleventh Star roars with laughter while saying, "No problem. But I have to bring his head back
to our Young Master. He would definitely be very happy to learn that Lin Xiao is dead."

"Then, are you going to do it or shall I let my underling do it?"

The black-robed man sniggers wickedly.

"Let me do it. A mere Star level two stars. I can bring him down with just a finger."

Eleventh Stars speaks flippantly while his eyes are filled with intense bloodthirsty killing intention.
He raises his right hand and waves the large sword in his hand, flinging away the drops of blood on
his large sword.

Right at this moment, Ling Xiao who was comforting You XiaoMo starts to laugh.

A hint of suppressed self-satisfaction can be heard in Ling Xiao's laughter. Those who hear it get a
rather strange feeling. Normally, wouldn't one run away a long time ago when faced with such a great
disparity in strength? Not only did they not, they don't even show any signs of anxiousness.

Eleventh Star and company finally feel that something is not quite right, "What are you laughing
at?"

Ling Xiao stops laughing abruptly and glances at Eleventh Star in amusement. He then lowers his
head and looks at You XiaoMo who is just about done vomiting. He gently caresses his silky hair
with one of his hands as he laughs while saying, "Little brother, although big brother me
understands and sympathizes with you as this is your first time seeing such a gruesome scene,
but you also have seen it. They have discovered our secret, so big brother me 'has no other
choice' but to kill them right in front of you. You also have to show some understanding and
sympathize with big brother me wo!"

You XiaoMo rolls his eyes at him. How could he not know that these people have already
discovered whatever secret of theirs? Speaking so pompously, isn't it just him wanting to kill them?
Still coming up with so many excuses.

These few days he encountered all sorts of bloody and cruel experiences one after another.
Furthermore, today's scene is so bloody and gruesome. He feels that his ability to endure is quickly
heading towards a very strong and abnormal direction. He now realizes one truth. There is no such
thing as most gruesome in this world, there is only even more gruesome!

However, to Eleventh Star and company, hearing these words from Ling Xiao is like hearing the
world's funniest joke.

Lin Xiao wants to kill all of them here by himself? Surely it's a joke. Furthermore, he must have
misunderstood his position ba. Surely its them who will be silencing witnesses.

Since Ling Xiao came upon their scheme, discovering that XingLuo school is working with the
demons, there is no way they can let him and the puny mage go no matter what happens.

Ling Xiao stands up and pats his melon seed head, saying in a considerate voice, "Little brother,
go ahead and throw up. By the time you finish throwing up, I would have done away with the
witnesses."

You XiaoMo is speechless. He can only continue rolling his eyes in answer. He realizes that this
fellow really has no lower limit.

He then jumps down from the vine, his clothes fluttering in the wind, a slight smile on the corner of
his lips. He seems to have a rather scholarly and noble air. Who would guess that he has killing on his
mind at this time?

Chapter 166

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

WindfallLing Xiao walks to the front of Eleventh Star and company. If there was a fan in his hand,
and if he opens it with a *shua*, he would probably look like a handsome and refined elegant prince.
Too bad he doesn't have one. What he does have, is a heart that is ready to 'silence witnesses'.

"Consider yourselves lucky!"

Ling Xiao beams as he looks at them.

These words are not looney talk. When he kills, he usually likes to use all sorts of different
methods. The people killed by him sometimes end up without arms or with missing legs. Sometimes,
half of the head is gone, just like what happened the last time at the green plains. However, that is
actually one of the few times he was so violent.

But, there is no such thing as most violent, there's only even more violent!

He still has yet to cause a truly bloody scene. However, this time, he really empathizes with You
XiaoMo. Therefore, he definitely doesn't intend to make it really bloody. He'll force himself to leave
their bodies intact.

"We are indeed lucky. You however, are out of luck because you will soon be dead."

Eleventh Star swings his large sword and stares at him squarely. However, he faintly feels a thread
of uneasiness in his heart.

He has never felt this feeling before. To think that he would actually feel this kind of misgivings
facing a Star level two star fighter. Eleventh Star feels that it must be because he is overly excited,
causing him to have these feelings. As long as he kills Lin Xiao, everything will be alright.

"Eleventh Star, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and do it!"

At this moment, the black-robed man behind Eleventh Star suddenly shouts in a deep voice. His
tone is tinged with anxiousness.

Eleventh Star's brow twitches. His whole body starts to spin at a high speed. Suddenly his body
disappears and a second later, he appears again in front of Ling Xiao. The large sword in his hand is
still stained with blood. With a momentum that causes one's heart to race, he swings it down towards
Ling Xiao's crown.

His strength is Star level seven stars, above 'Lin Xiao' by a whole five ranks. With such a disparity,
he believes that 'Lin Xiao' would simply be unable to react. So he intends to take 'Lin Xiao's' life.
But when the large sword connects with 'Lin Xiao's' body, just when a tiny bit of glee can be seen
on Eleventh Star's face, 'Lin Xiao's' body disappears. It's actually an afterimage?

Eleventh Star's expression changes abruptly. Before he could change his stance, a palm attaches to
his abdomen. Flames seem to flicker for a second on that palm and then quickly disappears. Eleventh
Star's eyes are open wide in horror. He appears to be frozen in time, with no further reaction.

Ling Xiao's body materializes as he takes back his hand that was stuck on his abdomen. He pokes
his forehead with a finger and Eleventh Star's towering body immediately falls backwards.

Everyone doesn't know what happened but Eleventh Star seems to have lost.

Naturally, the people with low cultivation can't tell but the five black-robed men know that
Eleventh Star is dead.

His vigor was very strong at the beginning. But, 'Lin Xiao' seems to have done something and it
weakened in a flash. His soul force also dried up in an instant.

The covered face of the leader in black robes is shocked to the extreme.

The intelligence on 'Lin Xiao's' level does not add up. The report clearly said that 'Lin Xiao' is a
Star level two star fighter. But how can a Star level two star fighter instakill a Star level seven star
fighter at the first meeting. It's very clear that 'Lin Xiao' is simply not a Star level two star fighter.
Everyone has been fooled.

The black-robed man suddenly remembers what he just said about a secret, a secret that was
exposed? Can it be that he is referring to his cultivation?

However, that's also not right. Before, 'Lin Xiao' didn't make any moves. They basically knew
nothing about his true strength. Or could it be that he is here for some other reason so he's afraid that
they will expose him so he wants to silence witnesses?

No matter what he does, the black-robed man can't figure out what Ling Xiao is thinking.

Of course he has no idea that everything he's thinking is all wrong except for the last part, 'silence
witnesses', these two words are correct.

However, what he really can't make sense of is that since the Paradise Realm has a limitation on
cultivation level, and based on how he killed off Eleventh Star, he definitely can't be Star level and
below. This kind of level, how could he enter the Paradise Realm?

Because he can't figure it out, they can only run away because his cultivation is the same as
Eleventh Star's. He's also Star level seven stars. Even Eleventh Star is dead, how else would he end
up?

"Leave!"
The black-robed man quickly barks out a word and is the first to retreat.

The other four black-robed men also think like him. Since there is no way for them to beat 'Lin
Xiao' now, they should first retreat and then find an opportunity in the future to deal with 'Lin Xiao'.

As for XingLuo group's disciples, after witnessing the killing of Eleventh Star, each and every one
of them were in a daze. Only when they hear the black-robed man's order 'leave', do they finally react,
immediately rushing to escape.

Ling Xiao sees that they have some sense to spread out. But he doesn't immediately chase after
them. Instead, he stands on the spot with a cunning smile. If he didn't already make the preparations,
why would he just show up so brazenly? Too naive!

A moment later, the naive black-robed men and disciples of XingLuo group return back to the same
spot. When they see each other, the shock is evident on all their faces. After escaping for so long, how
could they end up coming back to the same spot?

The black-robed man raises his head sharply and sees Ling Xiao standing not far from them,
beaming while looking at them.

The other side seems to have known that they would come back, standing at the same spot, simply
not even taking a single step.

This kind of phenomenon, it must be an illusion. Only an illusion can create such a huge effect.
Clearly this 'Lin Xiao' already set up an illusion earlier in this place. How could he have done it?

Too many questions. The black-robed man suddenly thinks of something. His eyes widen suddenly
as he says harshly 'You are basically not Lin Xiao!"

Turns out this is the secret he spoke of.

Ling Xiao shrugs as if it can't be helped. He laughs as he says, "Since I've been found out, it
can't be helped. Now I can't pretend that I didn't see you all."

No matter how gifted, an ordinary person really can't become such an outrageously powerful
fighter in only thirty years. On top of that, his behavior is inconsistent with previous reports. It's
enough to confirm that he is not the real Lin Xiao.

Thinking of this, the black-robed man feels his body grow cold.

Someone able to overcome the restriction of the Paradise Realm. Either he has a special method or
his strength is even higher than the owner of the Paradise Realm.

"You all have really bad luck. Since you already know my secret, you all have to die right here
today!"

Ling Xiao declares nonchalantly. A second later he is again all smiles, "But you all don't have to
worry. I won't tell anyone about the collaboration between XingLuo group and the demons. So
....... you can all go to your deaths at peace ba!"

With consideration for You XiaoMo, Ling Xiao leaves their bodies in one piece. However, looking
at the whole place covered in bodies, it really affects ones appetite. But You XiaoMo already has
nothing left to throw up.

You XiaoMo looks away gloomily, not wanting to look at Ling Xiao who is smiling dazzlingly
while standing in the middle of the corpses.

He discovers that Ling Xiao might have been right. There will be a day when he will be very used
to this thing with dead people. That is if Ling Xiao continues to kill people this way in front of him.

"Little brother, how is it? Are you used to it yet?"

Ling Xiao walks over and takes him down from the vines. He happily uses his sleeve to wipe the
corners of You XiaoMo's mouth. He is really not used to it. For goodness sake, don't you think it's too
extreme?

You XiaoMo is still tight-faced. Then he glances at him gloomily and helplessly. The reality is, he
would rather be pure and innocent, for real!

Because You XiaoMo feels that all the bodies covering the floor is too gruesome, he refuses to go
down there. Ling Xiao has no choice but to take off the magic bags of the black-robed men and
XingLuo group disciples with his own hands.

However, he accidentally broke two of the magic bags when he killed them. The things inside fell
out and are mostly stained with blood. Luckily they were nothing much so Ling Xiao doesn't pick them
up. In the end, he harvested fifteen magic bags, five of them from the black-robed men.

Speaking of coincidences, the reason why the XingLuo group and the black-robed men appeared
here is also because of the Seven Star grass. However, their motive is different. They are actually
aiming for the Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects that are found near the Seven Star grass.

You would only have to have read the magic beast scrolls to know that where there is Seven Star
grass, there will be Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects. However, where there are Seven Star
Hidden Fragrance insects, there may not necessarily have Seven Star Grass.

By the time they find the Seven Star grass, You XiaoMo's two Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects
have already dived straight into a pile of Seven Star grass, happily eating their meal. In just a short
while, they stuffed their bellies until their are completely round.

However, it's not just his pair of Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects buried in the pile of Seven
Star grass. There are still quite a lot of others nearby. It's just that not all of them would show
themselves. Because You XiaoMo already bonded with them, that's why the moment he got there he
knew exactly which ones were his.
After putting the pair of Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects back into his dimension, You
XiaoMo starts to dig up the Seven Star grass.

Because he has a pair of Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects, the Seven Star Hidden Fragrance
insects guarding the Seven Star grass doesn't attack him while he is digging up the Seven Star grass.

Those of the same kind are very sensitive to each other. What more since level six magic beasts are
mostly those that have already awakened.

The Seven Star grass have already grown here for many years. Furthermore, most of them are
already mature. Most people would definitely pick the mature ones. But You XiaoMo doesn't do that.
He only digs up ten stalks of Seven Star grass that are close to maturity. He also picks up a hundred or
so seeds that have fallen to the ground. His luck is very good. These seeds dropped not too long ago
so a lot of them are good seeds.

In the future, these Seven Star grass or the fallen seeds will sprout and grow. In the end, they will
replace the patch of Seven Star grass that have been completely eaten.

You XiaoMo is not a selfish person so he only picks up a hundred or so.

"Elder brother Ling, why are the XingLuo group and demons targeting the Seven Star Hidden
Fragrance insects?"

You XiaoMo asks curiously.

Ling Xiao is leaning on the vines. He says casually, "Most people who target Seven Star Hidden
Fragrance insects are surely aiming for the Golden Winged insects that have evolved three
times. That is the true value of the Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects."

You XiaoMo ponders for a moment, "But in order for the Seven Star Hidden Fragrance insects
to evolve three times, it requires a lot of Seven Star grass. On top of that, success is not
guaranteed. Are they not afraid of failure?"

"Who knows what they are planning!"

Ling Xiao says uncaringly, "Have you finished choosing? Let's leave right away. The bloody
stench here will soon attract other cultivators and magic beasts."

"I'm done."

You XiaoMo nods as he sends the last seeds into his dimension.

Ling Xiao walks over and picks him up. You XiaoMo is very accepting. He is already very used to
being picked up. This is the biggest disadvantage of being a mage. If there is no magic beast by their
side, it is very inconvenient to get around.
Not long after the two of them left, just as Ling Xiao said, a group of magic beasts arrives, drawn
by the thick stench of blood. There are low level and mid-level magic beasts. Those that have not
awakened start to instinctively chew on the bodies on the ground. By the time a group of cultivators
are attracted over, the faces of the bodies have already been chewed beyond recognition. It can only
be vaguely made out that they were from the XingLuo group.

Only half the time agreed upon with Da Piqiu has passed but Ling Xiao carries You XiaoMo
directly to the appointed place. They then find a secluded place to hide.

While other people are snatching magic herbs and magic beasts, You XiaoMo is snatching other
people's magic bags. He and Ling Xiao are in the midst of dividing the spoils while hiding.

Because the magic bags of XingLuo group and Qing Cheng sect are marked, You XiaoMo first
takes everything out and then throws away the magic bags. After all, he has a dimension to put the
things in.

As for the magic bags from the five demons, after Ling Xiao makes sure that they are not marked
and there is nothing special about them, they can be put to use without worry, but .......

You XiaoMo doesn't like it. The magic bags of those man-eating demons, he doesn't have the
slightest interest.

There were twelve XingLuo group disciples but they only got ten magic bags because the other two
were ruined by Ling Xiao. Luckily they were all martial artists. However, the things inside the magic
bags of the five black-robed men surprised him. It seems as if there is nothing of use. Not only that,
they are also quite paltry.

Ling Xiao hears him complain and says noncommittally, "The cultivation methods of demons and
martial artists are not quite the same. Their flesh are rather sturdy. That's why they concentrate on the
body when cultivating.

You XiaoMo exclaims 'oh'. Suddenly he catches sight of something in the pile of stolen goods out
of the corner of his eye. He picks it up and says, "What is this thing?"

Chapter 167

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Causing troubleLing Xiao tilts his head and sees an ox skin sheet in his hand.

This piece of leather seems very familiar. It seems to be very similar to the incomplete map of the
Jade Spiritual cave that he has.

You XiaoMo spreads it out and takes a look. There is a route marked on it but it is not clear. Also,
it doesn't indicate where it is leading to. This map was found in Ye Dan's magic bag.

At this time, Ling Xiao fishes out another piece of leather from the pile of stolen goods. It is the
same as the one he has in his hand. If you want to insist on the details, they are different in size.

The one in his hand is only the size of two palms. The one in Ling Xiao's hand is the size of an A4
paper. On it, the terrain and routes are depicted very clearly. At the center of the map is a symbol of a
palace. It seems as if most of the routes are leading to the palace.

Comparing the two maps, it's clear that the one in Ling Xiao's hand is better. You XiaoMo
immediately tosses away the map in his hand and goes over to Ling Xiao to read the map together.

"Elder brother Ling, does the Paradise Realm have this kind of place?"

You XiaoMo asks, full of curiosity.

"The Paradise Realm used to have a Master. The existence of a palace is nothing strange."

Ling Xiao opens up the map and lays it on the ground. Looking at it like that, this map is actually
very complete. The places they had gone to are mostly in it and there is still a lot they haven't
covered.

The preparations of the demons are so complete. Looks like they have been paying attention to the
Paradise Realm for a long time. Or perhaps they prepared all these things to deal with the disciples of
the major sects. After all, most of the magic herbs are of no use to them. Only magic beasts are of use.

You XiaoMo compares them for a second and discovers that although Ye Dan's map is small, the
map's final destination is also that palace via a different route.

"Elder brother Ling, do you think that both of them were headed to this palace? Qing Cheng
sect has it so TianXin sect should also have it ba?"

You XiaoMo thinks it over and suddenly looks towards Ling Xiao.

But Ling Xiao definitely didn't get this map. Furthermore, Elder Shi pointed them in the complete
opposite direction from the palace. He seems to have purposely sent him further and further away
from the palace, making it clear what his intentions were.

Ling Xiao smirks, "Not even telling me such an important thing. Looks like Tang Fan has
been wary of me for a long time. Oh well. Let's go over and take a look. What is the secret
hidden in the palace, attracting the attention of all the major forces?"

You XiaoMo immediately nods his head in glee.

He also wants to go take a look but he's not in a hurry.

The place they are at now is the Jade Spiritual Cave. From here, it would take at least half a day to
get there. Furthermore, they would probably come across whatever magic herbs or magic beasts. Dig
here, dig there, will also take some time. In the end, it would probably take over a day.

As for the others, their situation is probably the same as them. Furthermore, they may not
necessarily have such a clear map.

After that, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao pick through the things together, finally dividing up all their
spoils of war.

There are seven to eight martial arts techniques all together. Because they are from the same forces,
there are a few copies of the same techniques. Luckily, Eleventh Star's martial art technique is a high
quality mid level volume. It seems to be one practiced by the core disciples of XingLuo group.
However, since its nature is rather dark, what people would consider tainted ways, it can only be
stored or sold.

As for the demons, their martial art techniques are passed on from generation to generation so there
is no specific volume of martial art techniques.

Next are the magic pills. There are seven mid-level pills and more than five hundred low level
pills. Half of them were dug out from the magic bags of the two mages. It's too bad that Ling Xiao
doesn't like them so You XiaoMo can only put them away and find a way to sell them off later.

Last of all, the magic herbs. Big sects are not the same. Their assets are rather significant.
Furthermore, people like Eleventh Star would have come across good magic herbs. There are a few
stalks of mid-level magic herbs that You XiaoMo doesn't have. Moreover the quality is not low. It's
too bad that there isn't a single stalk of level seven magic herb in their magic bags.

By the time they finish dividing up and putting away the things, it is exactly an hour later.

You XiaoMo places all the magic bags into one of the magic bags and then hands it over to Ling
Xiao.

Ling Xiao takes the magic bag and smiles until his eyes turn into slits. With a flick of his hand, he
flings the magic bag with quite a lot of force. The naked eye can see the magic bag soaring through the
air but just for a little while. Very quickly, it disappears from their field of view. Who knows where it
flies off to.

"Strange, why is Da Piqiu not back yet?"

As You XiaoMo watches the magic bag disappear, he finally realizes that the agreed upon time has
already passed.

"Maybe he is too caught up in the joy of playing."

Ling Xiao seems to be thinking of something, the corner of lips lifting up showing a hint of
amusement.

"Playing?"

You XiaoMo doesn't understand.

"Blue-blooded wolves are famous for their combat ability. Furthermore, fighting is the fastest
way for them to rise in level. You were only willing to let it out after all this time so of course he
has to 'play' to its heart's content before coming back."

Ling Xiao rests his head on his arm and says contentedly.

" ....... " You XiaoMo.

Looks like the playing he was referring to is fighting. He does know it is the nature of Blue-
blooded wolves to love fighting but he didn't know that they actually rise up in level by fighting.

You XiaoMo asks helplessly, "Then when do you think it will come back?"

Ling Xiao ponders for a moment and laughs while saying, "Wait for it to get over its excitement,
then maybe it will remember your instructions."

You XiaoMo immediately feels the blow but soon thinks of something, "Since you already knew,
why didn't you say something earlier?"

"Why should I say anything?"

Ling Xiao gives him an odd glance. "Your Da Piqiu should get some training. Isn't the Paradise
Realm the best opportunity? Furthermore, if it doesn't train for too long, it may be end up
weaker than normal level eight magic beasts. Are you willing to see a mighty Blue-blooded wolf
end up as a useless lump of meat?"

You XiaoMo thinks it over for a second. A useless lump of meat. How fat would Da Piqiu end up?
This type of thing is not uncommon in the 21st century earth. Often, he would see these kind of things
on TV or on the web.
He shudders in disgust. If Da Piqiu really ends up like that, he would probably have to commit
suicide out of guilt. But he is curious. How did Ling Xiao come up with that expression?

You XiaoMo steals a glance at Ling Xiao. The latter has no reaction whatsoever, only saying,
"Alright ba. Let's just wait for an hour."

And so, they really waited for an hour.

During that time, You XiaoMo looked out quite a few times, right until an hour later. This time,
when he stretches his head out to take a look, he finally catches a glimpse of a beast. Except that, this
beast figure doesn't seem to be a white Da Piqiu. Rather, it is a very bloody Da Piqiu.

You XiaoMo runs out in shock, "Da Piqiu, how did you end up like this?"

Da Piqiu seems to know that it is in the wrong. It whimpers *ao wu* and then turns away
shamefully, not daring to look at him or get any closer.

You XiaoMo also doesn't dare to get closer. The bloody stench is too strong, almost causing him to
faint of suffocation.

Ling Xiao walks out from behind and gazes at Da Piqiu delightedly. With a rather judging tone, he
says, "Not bad, not bad. Your first time out and you hunted down so many. As a newbie, your
performance is really not bad. But it's still a little lacking. Not only are you covered in filth, you
are actually injured!"

"Da Piqiu is injured?"

You XiaoMo cries out in alarm and immediately forgets about the bloodiness. He quickly walks
over and examines it thoroughly once over. Finally, he discovers a cut behind its right hind leg.

Seeing this cut, You XiaoMo lets out a gasp.

This cut is rather too big. Who knows what caused it, resulting in such a large wound. The cut is
four cms deep. The white bone is almost visible, and fresh blood is flowing out continuously. But it
would have been overlooked if not examined closely. Who asked it to be covered in blood, a moment
of inattentiveness, and it would have been overlooked.

In a moment of panic, You XiaoMo wants to put it back into the dimension.

At his side, Ling Xiao places a hand on his shoulder to stop him, "Wait a bit, people are coming."

Just after he says this, shrill sounds can be heard coming from afar. The sound is getting nearer and
nearer. It's the sound of flying swords piercing through the sky. Clearly a lot of people coming. A mix
of furious voices can be heard.

Because You XiaoMo will soon advance to become a level four mage, his soul's awareness is
getting stronger and stronger. From far away, he can hear what the voices are saying. Most of it is
'Where did it run to?' 'Quick give chase, don't let it run away' and so on. Although they don't specify
what 'it' is, You XiaoMo can guess that they should be referring to Da Piqiu.

Soon after, that group of people appear in their field of vision one after the other.

One after another they float down from the sky flauntingly, red men, green women, as if afraid that
others won't know that they come with powerful backing.

You XiaoMo takes a closer look and his eyes almost fall out of their sockets.

The people in front are actually people he recognizes. These people should be heading to the
Southwest direction, Lei Ju and company. Why have they ended up here?

Note:red men, green women - dressed fashionably

Chapter 168

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Infighting."There's the Blue-blooded wolf!"

Just after landing, one of them exclaims excitedly.

Everyone turns to look at the direction he points at. Sure enough, they see a Blue-blooded wolf
bathed in blood. But, at the same time, the two people standing next to the Blue-blooded wolf can't be
ignored as they enter their field of vision.

The one with the strongest reaction is Tang YunQi.

The moment she sees Ling Xiao, her whole face lights up. She quickly overlooks You XiaoMo at
Ling Xiao's side and runs over excitedly while exclaiming, "Brother Xiao, how come you're here?"

Before entering the Paradise realm, Tang YunQi actually wanted to move around together with Ling
Xiao. But for some reason, her father grouped her with Lei Ju and two other Elders. Later they didn't
allow her to wait for Brother Xiao. She had thought that she wouldn't be able to see Brother Xiao for
a while but unexpectedly, just a few days into the month, God let her meet up with Brother Xiao.

However, when she gets there, she discovers the horrid You XiaoMo is again standing next to
Brother Xiao.

If it was before, Tang YunQi would definitely not hesitate to show her disgust but she has learned
from experience. The moment she shows any disgust towards You XiaoMo, it will only make Brother
Xiao go further and further from her.

"Junior brother You, I knew you would be together with Brother Xiao. I'm very happy to see
the both of you."

She smiles happily as she gives You XiaoMo a glance.

You XiaoMo seems to find it hard to believe and blinks twice. This young lady saying she's happy
to see them is that Tang YunQi who always stares at him with hatred? Furthermore, the one she's
happy to see is not him but her Elder brother ba?

Although Tang YunQi's disgust towards him is not as blatant as before, this type of transformation
only makes him more horrified. This fellow definitely has problems!

On the other hand, Lei Ju is not this 'happy' to see Ling Xiao.

With a face so dark, as if smeared with a layer of charcoal, glaring daggers at Ling Xiao time and
again. Only after some time does he smile superficially while saying, "Lin Xiao, what are you doing
here? Aren't you supposed to be ....... "

"Be where?"

Ling Xiao asks in return.

Lei Ju seems to choke for a bit, no longer continuing what he was going to say.

He suddenly realizes that only a few people know that Ling Xiao would be sent to the North. He
entered the Paradise Realm before Ling Xiao. Later, he didn't see him again and in the meantime he
also didn't see any other disciples from TianXin sect. If he says it out, Ling Xiao would definitely be
suspicious.

Thinking like this, he pauses for a while before saying, "Why is it just the two of you? Where are
the other disciples?"

Ling Xiao looks at him expressionlessly and says calmly, "We got separated in a moment of
inattentiveness ah. Midway, we came across a very strong magic beast. We couldn't defeat him
so we could only run. Who would have guessed that we would become separated? Junior brother
You and me also don't have a map of the Paradise Realm so we ended up running here in the
end."

The East is next to the North so he is not worried that they would doubt him. Even if they do doubt
him, there's nothing they can do about it.

"Is that so!"

The corner of Lei Ju's mouth twitches. He really wishes that the magic beast had killed Ling Xiao.

"Oh right, why are you all here? I remember you all were headed to the Southwest. Could it
be that you all got lost just like us?"

Ling Xiao smiles as he asks in return, both eyes fixed on Lei Ju.

Lei Ju is flustered by his gaze and fails to answer his question in a timely manner.

At this time Elder Wang who was standing quietly at the side suddenly opens his mouth to explain,
"Young Lin, we're here because we were chasing a magic beast. But that magic beast is too
cunning, leading us all over the place. Unexpectedly we ran all the way here, but ....... "

After speaking for a while, Elder Wang suddenly comes to a turning point. His shrewd gaze falls on
Da Piqiu that is in front of You XiaoMo. "If this magic beast didn't get in the way, we would have
caught that magic beast a long time ago."

His words immediately catches everyone's attention.


Only then does everyone realize that the Blue-blooded wolf they were chasing is actually lying
down quietly in front of You XiaoMo. Furthermore, it doesn't resist at all as You XiaoMo is cleaning
its wound.

Tang YunQi glances at You XiaoMo and then looks at Ling Xiao. She suddenly says sweetly,
"Brother Xiao, this Blue-blooded wolf is very beautiful. It has already acknowledged you as its
master? Can you give it to Little Qi? Little Qi likes it very much."

Everyone immediately turns to look at Ling Xiao.

They had thought the Blue-blooded wolf did not have a master. It's possible that when they were
chasing it, it was tamed by Ling Xiao. Although time was short, they believe it is definitely because
they tired out the Blue-blooded wolf. It's because of that, that Ling Xiao was able to successfully
subdue it. Therefore, it's only right that this Blue-blooded wolf belong to them. Giving it to Little
Sister is not unreasonable.

"That won't do."

The corner of Ling Xiao's lips rise up slightly as he rejects it without the slightest hesitation.

Tang YunQi is stunned. She recovers quickly and forces herself to ask in a calm voice, "Why not?
Brother Xiao, don't tell me you have already bonded this Blue-blooded wolf?"

Ling Xiao shakes his head. The corner of his lips curve up as he smiles while saying, "Your guess
is right. But the one who bonded with the Blue-blooded wolf is not me."

With that, everyone shifts their gaze onto You XiaoMo. If it's not Ling Xiao, it can only be You
XiaoMo. Among the group, there is one person struggling to control his envy, glaring at You XiaoMo
surreptitiously from the corner of his eye.

Lei Ju is immediately displeased, cutting in before Tang YunQi to say, "Lin Xiao, you're too
much. We found this Blue-blooded wolf first. What makes you think you can give it to You
XiaoMo? If we didn't injure it seriously first, do you think you would have been able to capture
it?"

Before, the Blue-blooded wolf was of level five strength. But that was before it came across Lei Ju
and company. It succeeded rising to become a level six magic beast while fighting, a Star level
cultivation.

Because Lin Xiao is also of Star level cultivation, the strength of the Blue-blooded wolf must be
much lower than his in order for it to submit to bonding. Therefore, they feel that it must be due to
their efforts.

As soon as Lei Ju finishes talking, the others chime in their agreement. The two Elders also nod
their head while looking at Ling Xiao reproachfully.
Ling Xiao raises his hands as he says in a helpless tone, although he is clearly smirking in
amusement while saying, "When did I say that Junior brother You bonded with the Blue-blooded
wolf only after you all came across it?"

Lei Ju is stunned but then scoffs coldly while saying, "What are you trying to say? Are you
actually trying to say that the both of you bonded this Blue-blooded wolf earlier? Don't joke. If
you really bonded this Blue-blooded wolf, why would you let it go? Furthermore, do you have
any proof that you bonded with it before we saw it?"

Ling Xiao had guessed that he would ask, so he wasn't anxious as he looks at them while speaking
leisurely, "Why do I need proof? Anyone with a brain would know that it's impossible to bond a
level six magic beast in such a short time, even if it is in a weak stage. Bonding takes time. But
if you all still can't accept it, you can go ahead and ask the Blue-blooded wolf."

The faces of Lei Ju and Elder Wang who was mocked by Ling Xiao as being brainless are quite the
sight.

Even though they know that he is right, they are still unwilling to give up a level eight Blue-
blooded wolf. Furthermore, this Blue-blooded wolf is currently only at level six, making it even
rarer.

But, as everyone's gaze moves to You XiaoMo and the Blue-blooded wolf, there is really no need
to ask as they already know the answer. Looking at how the Blue-blooded wolf is interacting with
You XiaoMo, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem as if they just formed a master-servant
relationship.

Because the Blue-blooded wolf is injured, You XiaoMo is worried that it would get worse so he
lets it lie on the ground.

The Blue-blooded wolf is very obedient. Not only does it lie down, it actually exposes its belly,
while looking woefully at You XiaoMo. After being glared at, it even whimpers miserably, as if it is
acting spoiled.

But You XiaoMo does not give in. If it isn't already injured, he really wants to give it a thorough
beating. Even if it is good at fighting, it doesn't mean it has to end up in such a condition. Furthermore,
out of all the people out there, it just had to run into these people of utmost quality, and bring them
here on top of that. Really poor upbringing!

Luckily he has a healing magic pill. Otherwise, it really would be difficult to manage.

But there is no way he can take out the healing magic pill he refined because those are all high
quality magic pills. Tang YunQi is a mage. One look and she would be able to tell what quality the
magic pills are. He can only use the ones he got from the spoils of war before. Although the quality is
not very good, at least it has some healing effect.

You XiaoMo pours out a handful of magic pills and stuffs them right into Da PiQiu's mouth. He then
crumbles a few pills and sprinkles them on the wound. Although it takes a while to heal, at least it is
no longer bleeding. Only then does he let out a sigh of relief.

If one were to say that their master and servant bond started less than fifteen minutes ago, there is
no doubt that no one would believe it.

Where can you a pair of master and servant with such a rapidly developed tacit understanding?
Where can you find a magic beast that would act spoiled towards a master it had just acknowledged
less than fifteen minutes ago? All sorts of signs are pointing that the reality is very likely what Ling
Xiao is saying. This Blue-blooded wolf is a magic beast that they bonded with a long time ago.

Lei Ju is still unwilling, an uncertain expression on his face.

At this moment, someone suddenly squeezes to the front. That person is Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu is currently the favorite pupil of the Master of Heaven peak. In order to guarantee his
safety, Tang Fan placed him in Lei Ju's group. Among the five people, he and Tang YunQi are mages.
Their status is not low.

Furthermore, the other three martial artists all have strengths of Star level and above. For example,
Lei Ju is Star level one star. Elder Wang and the other one, one is Star level seven stars, while the
other is Star level four stars. This kind of group can be considered invincible in the Paradise Realm.
Tang Fan's intention is plain to see.

Because Jiang Liu did not speak before this, and because he is standing near the back, You XiaoMo
didn't really notice him. Now that he has stepped up, it seems as if everyone's attention is focused on
him.

Jiang Liu looks a little bashful as if he is very uncomfortable with everyone's eyes on him. He
looks at Ling Xiao and says, "I feel that since this Blue-blooded wolf has already bonded with
Big brother You, then its master can only be Big brother You and no one else. No matter how we
disagree, the result can't be changed. How about we each take a step backwards? We still have
time. There are so many magic beasts in the Paradise Realm. We will have more chances. What
do you say, Elder brother Lin?"

You XiaoMo ponders for a moment and suddenly feels that these words from Jiang Liu are actually
quite skillful.

If it was before, he definitely wouldn't analyze his words. But ever since he decided to draw a
clear line between them in his heart, he has become much more careful when it comes to Jiang Liu.
For example, with his words now.

He intentionally doesn't mention that he had already bonded Da Piqiu before this, as if he is
implying that he took advantage of the situation to bond with Da Piqiu, causing this whole situation.
He seems to be silently accusing him of snatching their magic beast. How is it that he never realized
how cunning this fellow villager of his is before this?
Fine ba, seems like he has been too kind-hearted!

Ling Xiao smiles but doesn't speak.

Tang YunQi who is standing at the side immediately agrees, "What Junior brother Jiang says is
right. Now is the time for us to work together with one heart. It's just one magic beast. Everyone
can look for another and that would do. Such a large Paradise Realm, it can't be that we're
worried we won't be able to find others. What do you say Elder Wang?"

"What Young Miss says is right."

Elder Wang immediately nods.

Lei Ju sees that three out of the five have agreed, so even though he is unwilling, he can only come
to terms with it.

"Since you all want to look for magic beasts, then, we shall go our separate ways ba."

Ling Xiao walks to You XiaoMo's side and then turns to speak to them. His words and manner
clearly shows that he wants them to part ways right there.

Several people are stunned, especially Tang YunQi. Her pretty face suddenly reveals a trace of
anxiousness as she quickly says "Brother Xiao, isn't it better if we go together? Furthermore,
there are only two of you. What would happen if you meet with danger? A few more people
mutually looking after each other is preferable is it not?"

"Junior brother You and I want to look for magic herbs. You all want to look for magic
beasts. I'm afraid it won't be too convenient ....... "

Before Ling Xiao can finish speaking, Tang YunQi immediately interrupts.

"It won't be inconvenient. We can also follow Brother Xiao to look for magic herbs ah.
Furthermore, there is usually magic beasts guarding the magic herbs. Just nice, we can catch
magic beasts while the both of you dig up magic herbs. Two birds with one stone!"

"Alright then."

Ling Xiao considers for a moment and agrees.

You XiaoMo wants to say that he has yet to speak ne!

Chapter 169

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Jiang Liu's probing.And so, a new group of people is formed.

Many times You XiaoMo wanted to ask Ling Xiao why they had to join them. The map they have
must absolutely not be discovered by Tang YunQi and company. But it's all for naught because Tang
YunQi is forever stuck to Ling Xiao, asking this and that. He simply has no chance to bring it up.

But there is one thing for certain. Ling Xiao must have expected it already. That's why he accepted
Tang YunQi's suggestion without talking it over with him first. So, even though his heart is bursting
with curiosity, You XiaoMo still bears with it.

A lot of the magic herbs and magic beasts are at the Jade Spiritual Cave. Although You XiaoMo
just left the Jade Spiritual Cave a few hours ago, he was planning to return again to the Jade Spiritual
Cave to dig up some magic herbs. Therefore, he moves forward with them without protesting.

The whole way, the one with the most words is Tang YunQi. No one knows where all those words
came from, from the North pole to the South pole. Although Ling Xiao doesn't say much in reply, she
still carries on enthusiastically by herself.

You XiaoMo is rather bored, riding on top of Da Piqiu.

Although Da Piqiu has a wound on one of it's legs, the healing capability of the Blue-blooded wolf
is very strong. Furthermore, You XiaoMo was not stingy with the Healing magic pill. Right now, that
wound is already healing rapidly, not the least bit affecting it's strong and vigorous posture.

Just as he was feeling bored, Jiang Liu who was walking in front starts to slow down his pace.
Very quickly, he is walking side by side with him.

Jiang Liu seems to have been looking for an opportunity to talk to him. A dazzling smile bursts forth
from his bright and fresh face as he looks at You XiaoMo. He smiles while saying, "Big brother You,
it's been a long time. I didn't expect us to actually meet in the Paradise Realm. Looks like we
are quite fated, am I right?"

"Right ah!"

You XiaoMo laughs drily.

What fated? From his point of view, it's more like ill-fated. He knows that Jiang Liu certainly did
not expect that he would actually make it to the Paradise Realm.

Nevertheless, he keeps the same expression on the surface. It's just that he is very curious. He and
Jiang Liu are disciples from different peaks, with not much contact with each other. Although there is
bad blood between Earth peak and Heaven peak, they are newly admitted disciples, still under a year.
Even if he has assimilated himself into his peak, it's hard to imagine that the rivalry would rise to the
extent of stabbing him in the back ba. But thinking back now, he feels that Jiang Liu probably hated
him from the beginning.

But he can't figure out why Jiang Liu hates him so much. He doesn't remember ever offending Jiang
Liu, but he can't be sure about the original You XiaoMo.

Jiang Liu doesn't seem to detect his wariness. He glances at the Blue-blooded wolf below him and
says admiringly, "Big brother You's luck is very good. Just a few days after entering the Paradise
Realm and you already have a level eight Blue-blooded wolf. I read in the scrolls that the
combat ability of the Blue-blooded wolf is very strong, probably one of the best among the magic
beasts of the same level. I also really want to have a Blue-blooded wolf."

You XiaoMo's brain churns quickly as he says, "There are still twenty over days. I believe you
will have the chance."

Jiang Liu winks at him cheekily, "I also believe my luck can't be that bad. Oh right, Big brother
You. This Blue-blooded wolf if very big. Can you let me get on as well? I also want to try and see
how it feels to sit on a level eight magic beast. Can I?"

You XiaoMo is momentarily speechless when he hears those words. Normally, people wouldn't
bring up this kind of request ba. However, he can't just say that so he can only say awkwardly, "I'm
sorry Junior brother Jiang. Da Piqiu doesn't like strangers to get close to it. Also, his injury still
hasn't healed so I'm afraid it is not possible."

"Is that so ah. Then it's fine. I was only asking, nothing more."

Jiang Liu frowns imperceptibly and then nods understandingly, as if his words just now were really
something he just thought of.

You XiaoMo laughs awkwardly and doesn't say anything more.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Liu brings up another topic. He looks at him in a probing manner as he says,
"Big brother You, there is something I want to say but you must not accuse me of being a
busybody. I'm only curious, that's all."

"What is it?"

You XiaoMo frowns, not knowing what he wants to say.

Jiang Liu looks at him with shining eyes, his fingers linked behind his back, as he smiles seemingly
harmlessly while saying, "I heard that only level three mages have the right to get a spot on the
Paradise Realm list. Since Big brother You can appear hear, does it mean that you are already a
level three mage?"
Hearing his words, a strange look immediately appears faintly on You XiaoMo's face.

This matter of him not being a level three mage seems to have spread from Earth peak. A lot of the
disciples are also blabbermouths. Seems like Flying peak and Heaven peak must have received the
news.

Actually, before he entered the Paradise Realm, it surprised him that Tang Fan and Kong Wen didn't
just say, "You are not a level three mage." But thinking back now, it's probably because the
Paradise Realm was about to open, and the two of them are people that don't like to lose face.
Attacking their own disciple in front of the other sects would instead cause others to gossip.

At that time, his thinking was this: If Tang Fan and Kong Wen insist on pressing the point, he would
just come out and tell them that he is already a level three mage. He'll say that he by chance broke
through the day before setting out. Even if they suspect him, there is nothing they can do about it
because he is genuinely a level three mage.

However, he didn't get the chance to say it, so right now, other people do not know what his actual
level is.

Originally, others could generally figure out his cultivation by looking at his soul force. However,
ever since he gained true mastery over his dimension, the dimension seems to be able to form a faint
protective barrier around his body.

This matter was found out by Ling Xiao who then told him about it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have
known. That protective barrier can actually conceal his level according to his will.

Therefore, in the eyes of Tang Fan and company, he still appears as a level two mage.

Since Jiang Liu is already a level three mage, he should have the ability to see through his level.
That means, he should know what level he currently is. Yet he still asks this kind of question.
Therefore, it is unlikely that he doesn't have an ulterior motive.

You XiaoMo doesn't like people to badmouth Ling Xiao behind his back so he puts on a happy
voice and says, "Yes ah. Talking about that, my luck is really good ne. The night before we set
out, by luck, I broke through while refining magic pills. However, because everyone was busy
with the Paradise Realm, I didn't tell everyone."

Jiang Liu's expression freezes momentarily but he recovers very quickly. There is no trace of
awkwardness on his face. Instead he appears very happy for him as he says, "Big brother You is
really a level three mage? Didn't I say that your luck is not bad? Congratulations!"

"I still haven't congratulated you. I heard that you also became a level three mage not too
long ago. Congratulations to you too!"

You XiaoMo says hurriedly. He suddenly feels as if he is saying his new year greetings.
Jiang Liu laughs *ha ha*, but his eyes are flashing as he glances sharply, "How can Junior
brother compare with Big brother You's luck? If not for the old master's benevolence, there was
no way I could have risen to a level three mage within three short months."

You XiaoMo laughs while saying, "Actually it is you who has better luck than me. At least you
have a master that cares for you and supplies you generously with magic herbs. Unlike me, I
have to buy everything myself. The magic herbs that I use for refining magic pills is bought with
the money I got from selling magic pills. If not, I probably wouldn't have been able to rise to the
next level."

Immediately the smile on Jiang Liu's face slips.

He feels that these words seem to be mocking him. He has a master who supplies him with magic
herbs. Because of that, he is able to rise quickly. On the other hand, You XiaoMo's magic herbs were
bought with the gold coins that he himself earned. And yet, the speed with which he advanced is about
the same as his. These words seem to be saying that if he didn't have a master who supplied him with
magic herbs, he can't compare to You XiaoMo.

Although You XiaoMo probably didn't have an ulterior motive when he said those words, he feels
that each and every word is like a thorn, stabbing deeply into his heart, forming a dark mass that
seems to be expanding.

"As expected of Big brother You, this matter, Junior brother cannot compare."

Jiang Liu puts on a fake smile.

You XiaoMo laughs *ha ha* while saying, "Junior brother Jiang's innate talent was already
higher than mine. I can only rely on hard work to make up for the deficit in my innate talent."

Jiang Liu seems to choke momentarily, no longer saying anything more.

After that, the two of them concentrated on the journey and no longer spoke. It is unclear if Jiang
Liu already got the answer he was looking for or if he was really rendered speechless by You
XiaoMo's words. Whatever it is, he was no longer seen looking for You XiaoMo to talk to him.

As for You XiaoMo, at first he was endlessly depressed because he had to travel together with
Tang YunQi and company. Now, it seems as if the depression from before has been swept away. His
delicate and glowing face is sparkling with joy straight from his heart, even saying a few words to Da
Piqiu from time to time.

At the front, Ling Xiao who never once looked back suddenly raises the corner of his mouth.

Tang YunQi just happens to turn her head and catch sight of the smile before it disappears. She can't
help but ask curiously, "Brother Xiao, what are you smiling about?"

Ling Xiao shoots her a glance and then replies indifferently, "Nothing."
Tang YunQi doesn't really believe it and wants to keep asking but right at this moment, Lei Ju who
was always at the front leading the way suddenly runs back and shouts excitedly and happily,
"Everyone, quick, come and see. There is a level six magic beast in the cave ahead."

Chapter 170

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

CowardThe black leopard is a mid-level magic beast. However, the black leopard is unlike
regular mid-level magic beasts because there are three different types. They are the Stone Flame
black leopard, the Blue-eyed black leopard, and the Golden black leopard.

Among them, the one with the most potential is the Golden black leopard. According to legend, the
Golden black leopard is the one that is most likely able to break free from the restrictions of their
bloodline to become a level nine magic beast. That's because they are the same as the Blue-blooded
wolf, both are level eight magic beasts. Unless a special method is used, most of the level eight magic
beasts can rise no further than this.

Lei Ju says that the level six magic beast is none other than a Golden black leopard, with
exceptionally beautiful golden eyes. The eyes are like jewels, radiating dazzling rays of light. And
there's also the jet-black fur that appears to be gleaming, exceptionally beautiful.

The worth of a Golden black leopard is higher than that of a Blue-blooded wolf. No wonder Lei Ju
is so excited. If he can bond with this black leopard, when he returns to TianXin sect, he would be
favorably regarded by the Grand Master. He would also have a lot of face.

However, the problematic thing is, this Golden black leopard's cultivation is at the pinnacle of Star
level seven stars. Looking at the fluctuation in its magic energy, it seems as if it will soon
breakthrough.

If it manages to breakthrough successfully, even if it is newly risen level seven magic beast, which
hasn't stabilized its power, it would still be very dangerous for them. No matter how you look at it, a
Star level fighter is no match for a level seven magic beast.

The Golden black leopard isn't aware of their arrival. Lei Ju also doesn't dare to alarm it, so he
quickly ran back after discovering it and prepares to discuss with everyone how to deal with it.

Elder Wang ponders for a moment before speaking, "Looks like we can only send someone to
lure that Golden black leopard out. Then the rest of us will lie in ambush outside and launch a
sneak attack when it isn't aware."

Speaking of sending someone over to lure the magic beast out, Elder Wang's gaze stealthily glances
over everyone, remaining on Ling Xiao for a moment.

Although it was only a moment, it was still noticed by Ling Xiao, causing him to raise the corner of
his mouth for a moment.

Lei Ju also looks veiledly at Ling Xiao, "Then, according to Elder Wang, who should we
send?"
Elder Wang looks at everyone and hesitates for a moment before speaking, "Actually, it would be
the best if I go. But I and the black leopard are almost of the same strength. As long as everyone
gives me enough time, I am confident that I'm capable of wounding it seriously. This way, we
would be able to pay the smallest prize and still catch it. Hence, the person to lure out the black
leopard can only be chosen from among the three of you. Which of you are confident that you
would able to escape from the claws of a level six black leopard?"

Elder Wang's words are not wrong. The defense of a black leopard is definitely not weak. All of
their power together may not succeed in wounding the black leopard seriously. Therefore, it is best if
they let him make the move.

However, if they were to go this way, the person luring the black leopard will be in extreme
danger.

Without waiting for Ling Xiao to speak, Lei Ju looks at him and says, "Elder brother Lin, the
Golden black leopard is guarding that cave so there should be a stalk of level six magic herb
inside. What the both of you want is the magic herb. What we want is the magic beast.
Regardless, you still have to do your share. How about we hand over the task of luring out the
magic beast to you?"

With those words, multiple pairs of eyes look over to him.

Tang YunQi speaks up unhappily, "The one who wants the magic herbs is not Brother Xiao.
Why should he be the one to take the risk?"

After saying that, she purposely glances at You XiaoMo as if saying, 'You are the one that wants the
magic herb. Why must Ling Xiao go get it for you? Why don't you go get it yourself?'

You XiaoMo rubs his nose, too lazy to entertain her.

Ling Xiao glances over everyone expressionlessly and then says helplessly, "Junior brother Lei
has a point. So, just leave the task of luring the magic beast to me."

Hearing these words, a veiled look of delight escapes from Lei Ju's eyes, along with rays of evil
intent. He very much wishes that Ling Xiao would die under the claws of the black leopard.

Tang YunQi didn't expect Brother Xiao to agree. She stamps her feet in anger and takes advantage
of the time when no one is looking to glare at You XiaoMo with hatred. It's all because of this guy!

As for the one being overlooked by everyone, Jiang Liu, his expression is neither happy nor sad.
It's just that when he looks at You XiaoMo, there would be a hint of envy. He knows there is no use
for him to get excited. It is extremely clear in his heart that the black leopard will definitely not be
his.

After getting everyone to their respective positions, Elder Wang sends Ling Xiao the signal with his
eyes.
Ling Xiao finds it very amusing. He then enters the cave. It is said that obedient people are
suspicious.

The ones with suspicions are of course not Elder Wang and company. Instead it is the one that
understands Ling Xiao the best, You XiaoMo.

Earlier, when he heard Ling Xiao agree to lure the black leopard, he already became suspicious.
How could this master listen to others? Can he really let Lei Ju push such a dangerous task onto him?
Although his strength is way stronger than the black leopard, Ling Xiao is someone that would never
agree to something disadvantageous.

So, You XiaoMo feels that something is bound to happen inside the cave.

Just as You XiaoMo was popping his head in and out towards the cave, a deafening roar of fury
rings out. The sound seems to shake even the ninth heaven, quite simply, a sonic boom. It almost
damages his ear drums but luckily he manages to use his soul force to protect his ears in time.

A few seconds later, Ling Xiao flashes out of the cave followed immediately by a black magic
beast with a pair of golden eyes, flying out of the cave. The black fur seems to be standing on end, its
golden eyes filled with murderous intent, fixed on Ling Xiao, as if it would at any moment rush over
and rip him to shreds.

Ling Xiao doesn't delay and immediately leads it to where Elder Wang and the other two are lying
in ambush.

According to their plan, after Ling Xiao lures the black leopard out, Elder Wang will immediately
use his most powerful killing move. And then, in case the unexpected happens, Lei Ju and the other
Elder will start their attack, to try and bring down the black leopard as quickly as possible.

However, it's not clear whether it's because the black leopard is too cunning or if it's because
Elder Wang and company are too simple-minded.

Elder Wang condenses a third of his spiritual energy into his killing move but it was actually
detected by the black leopard. The body of the black leopard that is about the same size as that of a
Blue-blooded wolf dodges nimbly in mid-air. The killing move that lost it's target immediately hits
the mountain side, causing the whole mountain side to explode revealing a huge gash.

The other Elder is stunned, releasing attacks rapidly. However, the one who should be attacking
with him at the same time, Lei Ju, is motionless. He immediately yells furiously, "Lei Ju, what are
you doing?! Why are you not attacking?!"

Only then does Lei Ju seem to regain his senses. In an uncoordinated mess, they attack the black
leopard but in haste, how can they match up their moves? Twice in a row, their attacks miss their
target.

The black leopard acts as if it has eaten a supernatural magic pill. Facing three Star level fighters
and yet it doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all. Its extremely agile body dodges the attacks from
the three of them, even launching counterattacks from time to time.

Probably because the attacks from the three people are taking up his attention, as a result Ling Xiao
is overlooked at the side. From time to time, it growls furiously while attacking Lei Ju and company.

Lei Ju is so frustrated that his eyes are red with anger. Why is it not attacking Ling Xiao instead of
constantly attacking them?

He can't figure out no matter how hard he thinks. It's too bad that his strength is six stars, below that
of the black leopard. His attacks against the black leopard doesn't even scratch the surface. Instead he
is left dodging himself into a tight corner.

Therefore, over one half of the pressure falls onto Elder Wang. Because of insufficient cultivation,
the other Elder can only share a little bit of the responsibility.

As for Ling Xiao, after luring out the black leopard, he would wander around the edge, pretending
to launch attacks from time to time to avoid being the target of wagging tongues, showing that he is
putting in his best efforts.

The men are losing strength as the fight goes on whereas the black leopard seems to be getting
bolder and bolder. Elder Wang finally realizes that the situation is not good. If it continues like this,
they will all die under the claws of the black leopard.

"Lin Xiao, you and the rest keep it occupied and let me prepare for a bit. When I shout, all of
you retreat to the South at the same time."

A flash of bodily pain flashes across Elder Wang's old face but he still makes the decision in the
end.

The corner of Lei Ju's eyes twitches fiercely. He knows what Elder Wang means. Looks like he is
planning on giving up on the black leopard. Although he is unwilling, right now, it is the only choice.
Otherwise, not a single one of them will be able to escape. Thinking like this, he glares heatedly at
Ling Xiao. It's all because of this guy!

Although they are unwilling to let go of the golden black leopard, every one of them still acts
according to Elder Wang's wishes. Even though this magic beast is very attractive, one must still have
life to be able to enjoy it.

.......

Half an hour later, somewhere in the Jade Spiritual Cave, a few desperate figures appear. They are
none other than Lei Ju and company, chased by the black leopard and fleeing in all directions. This
time, it can be considered giving away the bride only to lose one's army on top of it. Not only do they
not get the magic beast, each one of them have some sort of injury.
"Damn it!"

Lei Ju's eyes are red with fury. The more he thinks about it, the more frustrated he feels. In the end,
he just slams his fist into the ground.

Elder Wang looks at him venting and shakes his head helplessly. In his heart he admits that they
were too conceited. No wonder it's a golden black leopard. Such great potential and even greater
force. Even four of them joining forces were unable to bring it down. On top of that, they almost lost
their lives.

The look on Tang YunQi's face is unsightly. Although the outer appearance is not as beautiful as the
blue-blooded wolf, that black leopard's strength is still ranked up there. If she can bond with it, she
wouldn't have to rely on anyone else in the future. Never did she expect that it would end in failure.

"Lin Xiao, aren't you the number one of TianXin sect? Just now when it was time to act, why
is it that you seem to not have used all your strength? Did you do it on purpose?"

Lei Ju gets more and more frustrated the more he thinks about it. With all this resentment, when he
looks at the person next to him, Ling Xiao who acts as if nothing happened, it only drives him to his
utmost limit, causing him to lash out sarcastically at him.

His words immediately focuses everyone's attention on Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao glances at him indifferently, "I should be the one to ask you these words. I risked my
life to lure out the black leopard. And when it came time to act, why was it that when the two
Elders were attacking, you were only standing there like a statue?"

The moment he brings it up, everyone remembers it. Lei Ju at that time was really very strange.
Everyone already discussed it clearly. Why did he not react at all, wasting the opportunity?

Especially the other Elder. His impression of that moment is the strongest of all because he was the
one that shouted at Lei Ju to attack. Thinking of that, his face becomes more and more unsightly.

Lei Ju's face turns green and then white. He didn't expect that Ling Xiao would actually turn the
arrow back at him. But how can he tell them the truth? He can't possibly say that at that time, he was
actually hoping that Ling Xiao would be killed by the black leopard, so that's why he purposely didn't
do anything.

He can guarantee that if he says the truth, even if Ling Xiao doesn't do anything, Elder Wang would
probably hate him to death. In the Paradise Realm where danger lurks from every side, it is better to
have one more comrade than one more enemy.

"Elder Wang's killing move missed the black leopard. I was too shocked so I didn't react for a
while."

Lei Ju doesn't dare to appear too guilty so he puts on a face of chagrin.


Elder Wang doesn't doubt his words. After all, he feels that Lei Ju has no reason to risk his life for
some trickery, unless he doesn't want to live. Thinking like this, he helps to round out the bumps.

"Now is not the time to argue over who is to blame. Next, we should think about the journey
ahead. Oh right, was that level six magic herb dug out successfully?"

Hearing these words, everyone turns to look at Ling Xiao.

At that time, he was the one who lured the black leopard out. Later, when they were facing off with
the black leopard, Ling Xiao should have gone to pick it. It makes sense that the stalk of magic herb
should be in Ling Xiao's possession.

Furthermore the magic herbs in the Paradise Realm are mostly medium quality and above. If it turns
out to be a high quality magic herb, that would mean a high price. Therefore, there is no one that is not
interested. If they managed to catch the magic beast, naturally they wouldn't pay any heed to the magic
herb. But since they failed, naturally .......

How can Ling Xiao not know what they are thinking. The corner of his lips rises up as he says, "At
that time, I thought your plan would work. On top of that, the scene was in total chaos, so I
didn't go dig up the magic herb. I'm afraid I have disappointed all of you."

Lei Ju laughs coldly as he says, "I see, you want to keep that magic herb to yourself ba!"

Elder Wang frowns but doesn't speak, seeming to agree with Lei Ju's words.

Ling Xiao sneers *chi*, and stares at him while saying, "I am a martial artist. Do you think I'm
able to dig out that stalk of magic herb? If you all are going to start counting, I'm not afraid of
counting with you. Speaking about that, we already discussed it clearly beforehand. You want
magic beasts. We want magic herbs. Therefore, I went to lure that black leopard out. The result
ne, your lack of reaction caused everyone's effort to be in vain. Now you want to accuse me of
taking that stalk of magic herb for myself, are you in any position to say that?"

Lei Ju's face turns purplish black hearing those words. A thread of hate flashes across his glinting
eyes.

Seeing Ling Xiao looking so earnest and speaking with such righteousness, a certain person who is
only too clear about the real situation is having a hard time holding himself back. No one could have
known that Ling Xiao actually has the potential to win an Oscar!

Notes:Give away the bride only to lose one's army on top of it - suffer a double loss

Chapter 171

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yi Ya

Disharmony.Ling Xiao is naturally deserving of the Oscar with his deviousness. He doesn't say 'my
efforts'. Instead he says 'everyone's efforts'. If you just look at one spot and miss the big picture, it's
absolutely devious. This way, everyone's attention will naturally go to the direction of 'Because of
Lei Ju's error, the plan failed'.

Lei Ju realizes that the look Elder Wang and a few others are giving him are turning strange so he
immediately yells out agitatedly, "I see that you are clearly trying to use this as an excuse to
change the topic so you can keep that level six magic herb to yourself."

"Didn't I say that I didn't dig out that stalk of magic herb? Even if I did dig it out, doesn't
that mean that it belongs to me?"

Ling Xiao asks indifferently in reply.

"You're finally showing your true face ba. Sure enough, that stalk of magic herb was stolen
by you."

Lei Ju accuses him angrily.

You XiaoMo finally can't take it any longer, "Big brother Lei, your words are rather too much.
At that time we already discussed it clearly. You want the magic beast. We want the magic herb.
But because of your mistake, not only was the black leopard not caught, there wasn't even
enough time to dig up the magic herb. And now you are actually accusing Elder brother Ling of
keeping the magic herb for himself. Can it be that you think the fault doesn't lie with you? Or
are you trying to shift everyone's attention so that no one will question you about your actions?"

Why does he have the feeling that Lei Ju's brain is nothing but mush?

He himself let the magic beast escape and now he wants to snatch their magic herb. Unbelievably
shameless. He doesn't believe that after saying it so clearly, the others would still side with him.

Lei Ju is shamed to anger, yelling furiously at him, "Is this a place for you to talk? Merely a puny
mage and yet you dare to interrupt our discussion?"

You XiaoMo shrugs his shoulders innocently, "Who asked Big brother Lei to keep harping on
the magic herb? Even an idiot can see that you are trying to divert attention, simply not daring
to accept the blame for the plan's failure bei."

He looks at him as if to say that he is the one that is a coward!

Lei Ju glares at him furiously and spits out the words ferociously, "Shut up!"
However, his manner instead confirms You XiaoMo's accusations. Lei Ju was so anxious to point
the blame at Ling Xiao because he really had that in mind. Not even having the courage to accept
responsibility, this kind of person is undoubtedly a coward!

Although no one says anything, it is clear that they already agree with You XiaoMo's words.

"Alright, let's not fight over a little thing. No matter who is to blame, this matter is already
over so let's not bring it up again. Next, we still want to continue looking for magic herbs and
magic beasts."

In the end, Elder Wang is again the one that becomes the peacemaker. Although his words seems to
for the benefit of everyone, it can also be taken as absolving Lei Ju of any blame. The shrewd ones
can tell with one glance that he is partial to Lei Ju.

"That's right ah. We are all brothers of the same sect."

The other Elder immediately chimes in.

Ling Xiao's eyes is full of amusement as he glances at the two of them, "No need. Let's go our
separate ways ba. I don't want to have the same thing happen again, not getting the magic herb
and still having to pay with our lives."

Lei Ju flares up instantly, "What are you trying to say?"

Ling Xiao laughs and says, "What I'm trying to say, you should already understand. I have no
interest in working with someone who can turn around at anytime and slander someone. I have
no confidence in your character."

"Young Lin, you're going overboard. Before, Lei Ju was careless, that's all. There is no need
to haggle over every ounce."

Elder Wang says with a frown.

Ling Xiao shrugs. He fixes his gaze on him that is full of amusement, "Elder Wang, the next time
you want to favor Lei Ju, remember to not be too obvious, lest the other disciples suspect that
you don't have the integrity to be impartial."

But I doubt you can have a next time .......

Elder Wang's face darkens, "Young Lin, is this how you talk to your Elders?"

He is an Elder of Star level seven stars actually getting accused by a Star level two star little devil.
Do you really think we are still in TianXin sect? The Paradise Realm is a place where strength is
king.

Ling Xiao doesn't bother with him and walks to You XiaoMo's side, "Little brother, let's go ba."
You XiaoMo wanted to leave long ago. He feels that he would probably start to have difficulty
breathing if he has to stay with them a second longer. Now that Ling Xiao is finally thinking like this,
he is even more eager to leave.

"Wait for me, Brother Xiao. I also want to go with you."

Tang YunQi rushes up suddenly from behind, grabbing Ling Xiao's arm with one hand while
looking anxiously and expectantly at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao pulls his arm away and is just about to speak when Lei Ju's voice is heard, dripping with
sarcasm.

"Junior sister Tang, I advise you to not follow him. With his Star level two star strength, he
won't make it in the Paradise Realm. I'm afraid he would be dead before he can even find a
stalk of magic herb. It's better to follow Elder Wang. At the least, he can guarantee that you will
live. Furthermore, there is already a dragging oil pot by his side. If there is any danger, he
would definitely choose to save the dragging oil pot."

Ling Xiao gives him a meaningful look before speaking to Tang YunQi, "Junior sister Tang, what
Lei Ju says is not wrong. Elder brother me, my strength is definitely not high. If you follow me,
I won't be able to save you from danger. Therefore, you should follow them ba. After all, if you
were to die in the Paradise Realm, they still have to face the wrath of your father when they go
back. So, they definitely won't dare to let anything happen to you. You should not worry and
follow them ba. Just be like Lei Ju and hide behind Elder Wang and that would do."

Of course that would only be valid if they are still alive.

Tang YunQi is very close to him so she can see his expression clearly when he says those words.
His indifference when talking about her life, especially when he talks about her 'death', the smile on
his lips seems to be very sincere.

Tang YunQi lets go of his hand in shock and stares dumbly as he leaves with You XiaoMo. How
can Brother Xiao become so terrifying? That expression is really that of Brother Xiao?

Lei Ju was originally very pleased with himself, but when he hears the last sentence, his whole
face becomes distorted.

Damn Ling Xiao, still so defiant when death is at hand. I can't wait to see if you are able to leave
the Paradise Realm one month from now.

You XiaoMo couldn't understand all along why Ling Xiao wanted to go with them.

And later when he decided to just go along with the flow, Ling Xiao instead wants to separate from
them. On top of that, it is in such a lay down one's cards fashion, as if he is making sure of something.
This makes him even more confused.
"Elder brother Ling, what is it that you're planning?"

Now that it's finally just the two of them, You XiaoMo can't suppress it any longer and just blurts it
out.

Ling Xiao turns his head around. The smile on his handsome face turns into his usual devilish
expression from before, "Little brother, are you very curious over why I did what I did?"

You XiaoMo casts a sidelong glance at him. Do you have to ask?!

Ling Xiao laughs while saying, "Actually it's nothing. I just wanted to verify something, that's
all."

You XiaoMo asks, "Verify what?"

Ling Xiao says, "The time the palace will open, and also if they really knew about the palace."

You XiaoMo continues asking, "And the result ne? Do you have the answer?"

Ling Xiao says, "Yes."

You XiaoMo, " ....... and the answer is?"

Does he want me to ask each and every question?

Ling Xiao beams as he says, "They don't look the least bit hurried, so I surmise that the
opening of the palace would be in the latter half of the month. The exact timing, we would have
to look for another opportunity to figure it out. As for whether they know about the palace, there
is no need for me to answer ba."

There really is no need for him to answer. It is clear from the behavior of Elder Wang, Lei Ju, and
the others. When Ling Xiao wanted to leave, no one urged him to stay. Obviously they wanted Ling
Xiao to leave early on. The reason most probably has to do with the palace. Since Tang Fan actually
didn't tell Ling Xiao about the palace, he definitely doesn't want him to find out about it.

If Ling Xiao and him were to stick with them, Elder Wang would have to finally find an opportunity
to shake them off. Rather than wait for that time to come, it would be better to lose them early on to
avoid unforeseen circumstances.

So, with both sides wanting to get rid the other, it was bound to happen. Where water flows, a
canal is formed.

"Then what are we going to do from now on?"

You XiaoMo asks.


"Next, we are of course going to find that place on the map. Oh, if we had known earlier, we
should have sucked up Eleventh Star's and Ye Dan's memory before. Maybe we could have
learned something useful."

Ling Xiao says rather regretfully.

Urgh! You XiaoMo subconsciously recalls what happened in the ice cave, the scene where the
demon Elder Jiang was sucked dry. On top of that, all the bloody scenes that took place these two
days. Can't do it, I can't think about it anymore. Otherwise, I won't be able to take it anymore!

However, You XiaoMo is now very curious. At that time, did Ling Xiao really eat up Elder Jiang?
Although the scene wasn't very bloody, it was extremely strange.

"Elder brother Ling, you can't be like those demons right, eating up those people ba?"

You XiaoMo feels that this kind of thing would probably happen again in the near future so he
wants to make sure.

Ling Xiao's answer is to knock him on the forehead, "Such disgusting people, you think I will
eat them? If I want to eat ....... "

Saying those words, he suddenly looks him up and down and smiles while saying, "it would be
someone like you, white and tender, the taste would definitely be not bad."

You XiaoMo is silent for a while before rubbing his arms vigorously. Goosebumps are forming all
over his arms.

Ling Xiao licks his lips deliberately as if he can't wait to taste it.

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

Why does he suddenly feel that he is looking at something very obscene? His eyes seem to be glued
to Ling Xiao's tongue. He then sees the corner of Ling Xiao's lips rise upwards as he moves closer
towards him .......

Chapter 172

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Shapeshifting herb.When Ling Xiao leans over, he takes advantage of when he has yet to react to
eat a piece of tofu on his lips.

A certain someone is caught in a whirlwind for a moment and then his whole face turns red. His
first reaction is to look in all four directions. Only after making sure that there is no one around does
he let out a sigh of relief.

Ling Xiao puts his hand on his forehead and drawls, "Little brother, your face is very red. It
can't be that you've caught a fever ba. Do you want Elder brother me to help you lower your
temperature?"

You XiaoMo's face is bright red. He immediately flings away his hand. You're the one with the
fever, your whole family have fevers!

He has no idea that in some way, it can be said that he is also a member of Ling Xiao's whole
family.

Although Ling Xiao very much wants to eat tofu a few more times, he knows that now is not the
time. Tofu ma, naturally it's best to eat to ones heart's content. But of course, stealing a few pieces
here and there is also not bad.

It takes half a day before You XiaoMo realizes that he has been fooled again by Ling Xiao. Luckily
he has long ago tempered his heart into that of copper skin and steel bones. Therefore ....... this time
he doesn't make a fuss. But what should be made clear should still be made clear.

So, You XiaoMo nudges Ling Xiao, "In the end, what is that ability of yours?"

Ling Xiao strokes his chin, not answering his question immediately, as if he is having some
difficulty.

You XiaoMo asks with uncertainty, "You can't say?"

Ling Xiao glances at him, his expression full of amusement, "It's not that I can't say. It's just
that I'm not sure if I want to tell you now or continue whetting your appetite ah!"

You XiaoMo is speechless. This guy is purposely saying these words to irk him right?

Definitely, certainly, absolutely!

He can't go one day without playing with him ba? The more he thinks, the angrier he gets. You
XiaoMo simply throws down these words, "Do whatever you want."
He then turns around and walks off, as if saying 'I'm going to give you the silent treatment.'

Ling Xiao deftly pulls him back and secures him in his arms, "Ok ba, Ok ba. Since you are asking
me so pitifully, I'll let you know ok."

Hearing these words, You XiaoMo's ears perk up instantly.

Ling Xiao lowers his head and bites his ear. Before saying anything, You XiaoMo already yells
out.

"If you want to speak, just speak ma. Why bite my ear?"

You XiaoMo holds his ear. He can still feel the dampness and wonders if the ear is one of his
sensitive points?

Of course he knows. Ling Xiao laughs *ha ha* as he looks at him, "Alright, I won't tease you
anymore. Time to get serious."

You XiaoMo pushes him an arm length away, "You stand there and say."

Ling Xiao spreads his hands out helplessly. Looks like he can't eat him anymore since he is so on
guard against him. He continues speaking after a pause, "The reality is, I'm not eating their
corpses. To put it correctly, it should be sucking up their soul. Then I recover their memories
from their souls. That's all it is."

"Then why does the body disappear?"

This is the point he is most concerned about.

Ling Xiao says, "It doesn't disappear. I just threw it away."

You XiaoMo is stunned for a moment, quickly asking, "Throw where?"

Ling Xiao says, "Rubbish heap."

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

You think my eyes are just for display?

Ling Xiao shakes his finger, "Not the rubbish heap you are thinking of. The one I'm speaking
of is the rubbish heap that's a spatial black hole."

You XiaoMo asks, "What is this spatial black hole?"

At that time, he saw it with his own eyes. That thing was really a black hole but it seem to come
from his hand. Since it is an ability of his, does that mean the black hole exists in his hand?
Ling Xiao pulls him along and speaks as they walk, "The spatial black hole is a peculiar
dimension. Inside are immeasurable spatial forces. Even an Emperor level fighter would be torn
into pieces in a second. Anyway, you will soon understand."

Bluntly speaking, it is a place to get rid of incriminating evidence.

You XiaoMo subconsciously ponders this point. If this thing was placed on 21st century Earth, it
would be an unbeatable killing cheat. Of course, in Long Xiang continent, the land of killing people
and silencing witnesses, it is the essential medicine for daily life and travel. If you put the person you
want to kill inside it, it would no longer exist in this world. Even if some interested party wants to
investigate, they probably won't be able to find any web of the spider or trace of horses' hooves.

But, what level does one have to be to be able to open the black hole whenever they want?

Until now, You XiaoMo still hasn't discovered that Ling Xiao is actually not human. Or one can say
that he has actually figured out long ago that Ling Xiao is not human. It's just that his level of
understanding is not the same, that's all.

"What I should have said, I have already told you. There are no other questions ba. Next I'll
bring you to a good place."

Ling Xiao pulls his hand and walks off, looking very mysterious.

You XiaoMo opens his mouth wanting to ask but thinking that he will soon see it anyway, he bears
with it.

As for Da Piqiu, he has long been neglected into a dark corner by the two people. However, it is
still very happy, bounding to its feet, following after them, his tail wagging cheerfully.

After a while, You XiaoMo realizes that the road they are on is very familiar. So familiar that he
recalls certain stones that still have Da Piqiu's bloody paw prints, like a cluster of flowers. Da Piqiu
also purposefully runs over to admire his own paw prints making him unable to bear it any longer,
kicking it until it flies away.

This number two, what's there to be in awe of in ones own paw prints? If you want to admire, you
should admire him ah!!

*Ke ke*, You XiaoMo follows Ling Xiao into the cave of the golden black leopard they discovered
earlier. After just a few steps, that black leopard runs out. Its eyes are turning round and round while
flashing brightly as it prostates extremely piously before Ling Xiao as if it is submitting itself to the
stronger one or maybe for some other reason.

Witnessing this scene, You XiaoMo can already guess what happened.

No wonder this black leopard didn't really attack Ling Xiao before. No wonder it could accurately
dodge Elder Wang's attack. On top of that, it seemed to be so familiar with their plan. Looks like it
was all due to Ling Xiao's devious plan.

Looks like he had already colluded with the black leopard when he first entered.

Walking in a few steps further, You XiaoMo discovers a stalk of fiery red magic herb.

The magic herb is standing still in a small corner of the cave, giving off a thick fragrance. The
whole cave seems to be filled with this fragrance.

You XiaoMo can't help taking in a deep breath, his eyes open wide.

This stalk of magic herb is simply not a level six magic herb. He can feel the waves from the magic
herb. It is higher than a level six magic herb by one level. Although he can't name this stalk of magic
herb, it is clearly a level seven magic herb.

This is the first time he sees a level six magic beast guarding a stalk of level seven magic herb!

However, what surprises him is that Ling Xiao didn't dig out this stalk of magic herb. He thought
that Ling Xiao was bluffing Elder Wang and the rest when he said he didn't get to dig out the magic
herb. Looks like he really didn't dig it out.

Ling Xiao glances at his expression. The corner of his lips rises slightly, "Little brother, do you
know what is this stalk of level seven magic herb?"

You XiaoMo gulps, "What is it?"

Saying something like this, it must be something big.

A brilliant smile appears on Ling Xiao's face as he lifts up the hair by his ear, "Shapeshifting
herb, have you heard of it?"

You XiaoMo's jaw drops open in shock. Although he isn't very familiar with level seven magic
herbs, it's impossible that he hasn't heard of the much celebrated shapeshifting herb, because to magic
beasts, the shapeshifting herb is the thing they dream about. With this magic herb, they can assume
human form.

No matter if it's low level or mid-level or even high level magic beasts, the first aim they have
from the moment of birth is to cultivate to achieve the ability to shapeshift. Most of the time, the
ability to shapeshift is their number one priority.

That's because the cultivation speed of a magic beast that can shapeshift is faster than that of one
that can't.

As everyone knows, the ability of a magic beast to assume human form early on signifies that its
level is high. As with the Blue-blooded wolf, there is a restriction of level eight and above. If it's not
fated, they can't even dream of shapeshifting to cultivate to a higher level their whole life. Therefore,
for them, the shapeshifting herb is something they must have even if it means risking their lives.
Of course there are certain magic beasts with noble bloodlines. They can assume human form from
birth. To put it in human terms, these type of magic beasts are equivalent to an emperor's existence.

However, this type of noble magic beasts are extremely rare. Even in Long Xiao continent, an
emperor class magic beast has never appeared before.

Some say that when the emperor appears, ten thousand beasts will fall silent!

If this class of emperor magic beast really exists, probably all the magic beasts in Long Xiao
continent will have to obey them.

Going back to the point, the shapeshifting herb is able to break through the bloodline restriction of
magic beasts. It's another way for them to have the chance to break free from the restraints of their
bloodline, to achieve an even higher level.

No wonder this golden black leopard is guarding this stalk of shapeshifting herb to the death,
guarding it no matter what the cost. The allure of the shapeshifting herb is just too great for them.

"Elder brother Ling, this shapeshifting herb doesn't seem to be mature."

You XiaoMo gulps strongly, an immature magic herb means there is still a chance it may drop
seeds.

This stalk of shapeshifting herb, although completely fiery red, is certainly not an ultimate red. He
has seen the record of the shapeshifting herb on the magic beast scroll. The deeper the color means
that the shapeshifting herb is slowly getting more mature. Only when it turns the deepest red will it be
really mature. Clearly the shapeshifting herb is still a ways away from maturity right now.

"First, let's dig it out."

Ling Xiao says.

You XiaoMo was waiting for those words. Without further ado, You XiaoMo takes out a little
spade from his dimension.

The golden eyes of the black leopard lying submissively on the ground suddenly reveals a very
human-like extremely begrudging look.

At that time, when it inadvertently discovered this stalk of shapeshifting herb, the wild joy that
sprang up in his heart cannot be described. And then, in order to protect the shapeshifting herb, he
endlessly defeated those magic beasts that were drawn to the shapeshifting herb. A few times he was
even teetering on the brink of death but survived by holding on to a singular thought, successfully
defending the shapeshifting herb. And yet, it will soon have to hand it over on a silver platter.

The black leopard is extremely unwilling but faced with the tremendous pressure emanating from
the bloodline of this man in front of him, he has no choice but to submit. This kind of helpless feeling
suddenly leaves it feeling miserable.
Discovering his state of mind, Ling Xiao's lips lift up, "The shapeshifting herb won't be your
contribution in vain. Of course you will receive the benefits later on."

Hearing these words, the golden eyes of the black leopard light up instantly.

Although the man doesn't say the exact benefits, noble magic beasts loathe to lie, especially this
man in front of him. His level is possibly higher than it ever imagined.

Such a grand person is promising him good things. Of course he won't go back on his words, so it
immediately feels relieved.

Because the shapeshifting herb is a level seven herb, You XiaoMo digs with utmost care to ensure
that it remains intact. He takes almost half an hour before he is successful in digging up the
shapeshifting herb completely, including the roots buried below. He then quickly transplants the
shapeshifting herb into his dimension.

Seeing that he is done, Ling Xiao calls him over. He gestures to the black leopard next to him and
says, "Little brother, bond with it."

You XiaoMo's eyes light up immediately, but as if having thought of something, he says rather
awkwardly, "Elder brother Ling, I want to bond this black leopard to Second brother or Fifth
brother. Can I?"

Ling Xiao has long understood how his heart works, but he still shakes his head, "You can't. Lei
Ju and the others have seen this black leopard. It's hard to guarantee that they won't recognize
it. If you want to find magic beasts for them, we'll look for others."

You XiaoMo feels that it's very reasonable so he agrees. Only then does he walk over to bond with
the black leopard.

Because of Ling Xiao, the black leopard doesn't resist, forming a bond with You XiaoMo very
quickly, becoming You XiaoMo's second bonded magic beast. And so Da Piqiu finally gets a
companion. It has a look of enthusiastic welcome as it very quickly runs over cheerfully to engage it
in lively conversation .......

Chapter 173

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Life bond magic beast.Da Piqiu, "Ao wu ....... "

Finally there is one more to be controlled by Master like me, a comrade, I'm very happy ah!

Black leopard, " ....... "

Da Piqiu, "Ao wu ....... " You don't have a name ma? Don't worry, Master will help you choose a
name.

Black leopard, " ....... "

Like Da Piqiu? It would rather not.

Da Piqiu doesn't seem to receive the meaning from the expression from its eyes. It turns around and
runs to the front of You XiaoMo, 'Ao wu', calling non-stop. 'Master, master, my comrade still doesn't
have a name. Quick help choose a name. It's best if it is like mine.'

Black leopard, " ....... "

Black leopard thinks, really there are all sorts of bonded magic beasts, hence there will definitely
be all sorts of Masters, of course, not including itself. So it can already imagine what kind of person
its Master is.

In the end, although You XiaoMo doesn't grant Da Piqiu's request to give the black leopard a
ridiculous name, it is still sufficiently cheesy and at the same time reflects the inability and laziness of
the Master to pick names. Because it receives the name Xiao Hei, the reason behind it is because its
name has the word Hei.

But the rejoicing leopard has no idea that it's not long before he can no longer escape from the
clutches of fate!

Xiao Hei accepts this name very solemnly because it feels very lucky that the Master didn't
acquiesce to Da Piqiu's request to name it Da Maoqiu. Such a stupid name is too disgraceful to its
power and prestige as a golden black leopard. If it gets out, it will be laughed to death by those of the
same kind.

You XiaoMo doesn't understand the language of beasts so he didn't hear Da Piqiu's suggestion. He
is even more clueless about the derision his second bonded beast has for him and Da Piqiu.

After leaving the cave, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao set back on the road of looking for magic herbs
and magic beasts.
At first, they could only slowly search around the Jade Spiritual Cave because even though they
have a map, it is not possible to list in detail all the areas in the Jade Spiritual Cave. Most of the
places are just roughly outlined.

But with the addition of Xiao Hei, they no longer have to search blindly.

Although Xiao Hei isn't the highest level magic beast in the Jade Spiritual Cave, before it
discovered the Shapeshifting herb, it already explored all the corners. So it knows where the high
level magic herbs are and where the strong magic beasts are.

Jade Spiritual Cave is known as the place where mid-level magic herbs and mid-level magic
beasts are found. But that doesn't mean that high level magic herbs can't be found. The best example is
the Shapeshifting herb.

Xiao Hei just happens to know a place where a stalk of level nine magic herb can be found.
Although it hasn't seen it with its own eyes, it could smell it. From the rather nose-stabbing fragrance
emitted by that stalk of magic herb, it must be a higher level magic herb than the Shapeshifting herb it
guarded. But that place is guarded by a level nine magic beast. But it's still not the strongest high level
magic beast in the Paradise Realm because that level nine magic beast can only be considered the
fifth strongest in the Jade Spiritual Cave.

As everyone knows, the strengths of the magic beasts in the Jade Spiritual Cave correlates from
outside to inside, from low to high. That is to say, the nearer it is to the center of the Jade Spiritual
Cave, the higher the strengths of the magic beasts.

However, because of the restriction on cultivation level in the Paradise Realm, very rarely do
martial artists dare to venture into the center. Hence, nobody knows that there are magic beasts of
those levels in the center of the Jade Spiritual Cave.

"Elder brother Ling, the disciples of Qing Cheng sect also seem to be looking for a level nine
magic herb ba. Do you think the level nine magic herb Xiao Hei told us about could be the same
one Qing Cheng sect is looking for?"

While on the road, You XiaoMo suddenly remembers something. Up til now, they have come
across quite a few teams in just a few days. But they didn't hear anything concerning Luo ShuHe. He
is Luo ChengYuan's son so he must know about the level nine magic pill recipe. Therefore the pivotal
task of looking for magic herbs very possibly is in his hands.

"There is a possibility."

Ling Xiao answers.

You XiaoMo exclaims 'oh', and then reacts suddenly, "How do you know?"

Ling Xiao glances at him and suddenly takes out a small scroll as if performing a magic trick, "On
it, the fragrance of one of the magic herbs is similar to what Xiao Hei described."
You XiaoMo opens the scroll and takes a glance which leaves him dumbfounded. This is clearly a
level nine magic pill recipe. Ling Xiao actually stole back the level nine magic pill recipe that was
stolen by Qing Cheng sect? Then why is it that the people of Qing Cheng sect appear as if nothing has
happened?

Ling Xiao knows that he is very puzzled, so he explains, "Don't worry, this is not stolen from
Qing Cheng sect."

You XiaoMo asks, "Then how did you get this recipe?"

Ling Xiao laughs, "Such a valuable recipe, do you think TianXin sect would only have one
copy?"

Regardless of the value, or probability of loss, any sect or force would take precautions against
losing recipes, making more than one copy of the recipes. Especially for a level nine recipe,
something that everyone wants. For insurance purposes, there is no way TianXin sect doesn't have
backups. Otherwise, once the recipe was stolen, Tang Fan, that old fellow would have definitely
exploded like thunder and cried bloody murder at Qing Cheng sect. How could he still be so calmly
planning the matters of the Paradise Realm?

At first, Ling Xiao was planning to go steal the recipe from Qing Cheng sect but that would be
more troublesome because he doesn't know where Luo ChengYuan hid it. Only by searching his soul
would he know but this way, Luo ChengYuan's soul would be damaged. It's very possible that he
would turn into a mentally broken, useless person from that point on. It would be like getting rid of a
formidable opponent on behalf of TianXin sect. This kind of making a wedding dress for others kind
of act, Ling Xiao would definitely not do it out of the kindness of his heart, especially when the
wedding dress is for TianXin sect.

Thinking like this, Ling Xiao cancels his previous plan and then uses some sleight of hand to steal
the other hidden copy of the magic pill recipe from TianXin sect.

TianXin sect is worried that the magic recipe will be stolen by other sects so they only prepared
one more copy. Hence there is none left after he stole it. But Tang Fan is not aware because he
stealthily switched it out with a fake. As long as Tang Fan doesn't go check, he wouldn't know.

"At first I wanted to give it to you much earlier but that time was rather busy so I forgot."

Ling Xiao explains.

You XiaoMo looks at him in amazement. This time he is very earnest, as if wanting to see what he
is really made of. In the end he can only sigh in amazement. This old fellow is too awesome. If Tang
Fan were to discover that the other copy of the magic pill recipe was spirited away, he would be
unimaginably shocked and furious, probably never to calm down again.

You XiaoMo then finds the description of the magic herb whose fragrance matches that described
by Xiao Hei. However, it is only the smell so there is still a big possibility that it isn't the same.
Under Xiao Hei's lead, they finally reach the place of that level nine magic beast after one and a
half days. During that time, they gathered quite a few magic herbs and magic beasts. However, You
XiaoMo did not bond with those magic beasts. Instead, the magic beasts were all placed into Ling
Xiao's dimension. He ....... is definitely not holding their low level against them.

Ling He Canyon is one of the grand canyons in Jade Spiritual Cave. The one thousand meter
circumference of the grand canyon all belongs under the domain of the level nine magic beast. A lot of
the low and mid-level magic beasts are intimidated by its power and strength, not daring to go near
Ling He Canyon. Hence, numerous magic herbs grow in the surroundings of Ling He Canyon,
including low and mid level magic herbs.

At this moment, Xiao Hei who was walking in front suddenly stops.

You XiaoMo takes one look at Xiao Hei with its golden eyes surveying the surroundings vigilantly
and can't help but ask, "Is something wrong?"

Xiao Hei turns his head ignoring his Master and growls softly to Ling Xiao.

You XiaoMo immediately looks towards Ling Xiao drily.

Ling Xiao holds back his laughter as he says, "It says that not long ago, there was a huge battle
between something and the nine winged magic horn serpent.

The nine winged magic horn serpent is precisely that level nine magic beast. It's very strong so
common sense dictates that martial artists can only think of running when coming across it. Therefore,
the one that fought against it is most likely a magic beast of the same level.

Ling Xiao takes a step forward and takes a deep breath. The remnants of energy from the battle of
the two magic beasts is still lingering in the air. He then says, "The one who fought against it was a
level nine Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders. But it should have just broke through to level nine not too
long ago. Therefore, it is no match for the Nine Winged Magic Horn Serpent who has been at level
nine for a long time, so it lost and ran away.

You XiaoMo blinks his eyes repeatedly. Just one breath and he can tell what kind of magic beast it
was. Too much of a cow! But then he seems to think of something else, causing him to swallow
repeatedly. Two level nine magic beasts fighting .......

Ling Xiao strokes his chin and suddenly reveals a crafty smile, "Both of them are currently
injured. Just nice for us to take them in."

You XiaoMo keenly picks up on the wording of his words. Level nine magic beasts definitely are
able to shapeshift into humans. Therefore, their outer appearance is most likely that of a martial artist.

The situation is really like what Ling Xiao said. In order to defeat that Heavenly Bird of Six
Thunders, that Nine Winged Magic Horn Serpent didn't hesitate to use moves that cause harm of a
thousand to the enemy while reflecting harm of eight hundred onto oneself. The result is that both of
them are heavily injured. Right now, it is recuperating in its lair.

The Nine Winged Magic Horn Serpent didn't even have time to resist before Ling Xiao stomped on
its enormous head with one foot. Possibly because of too much strength, it fainted right away after
being stepped on.

"Little brother, come over and bond with it."

Ling Xiao beams as he speaks to the dazed You XiaoMo standing to one side.

You XiaoMo frowns after coming back to his senses. He says, "Elder brother Ling, right now
I'm only a level three mage so I can only bond with three magic beasts. If I bond with this
serpent, does that mean I can't bond with anything else?"

Ling Xiao says, "You don't have to worry about this. The restriction on the number of magic
beasts does not apply to mages with multi-colored souls. There is no restriction on number, just
how much you can bear. But there can only be one life-bond magic beast."

"Life-bond magic beast?"

You XiaoMo raises his brows in surprise. This is the first time he is hearing this term.

"The life-bond is an extremely severe bond. Usually, unless the magic beast is willing, there is
no way to forcibly form the bond. Furthermore, once the life-bond is formed, both parties can be
regarded as sharing one life. If one dies, the other one could follow to their death. Although
there are some rare occurrences where the other one doesn't die, it would still have to pay an
extremely high price. Therefore, there are very few mages or martial artists that would simply
form a life-bond with a magic beast."

Ling Xiao explains.

This is really some earth-shattering good news.

Life-bond magic beast, for now, You XiaoMo has no intention of forming that bond with whichever
magic beast. However, being able to bond with an unlimited number of magic beasts is already a
tremendous pleasant surprise.

And so, the Nine Winged Magic Horn Serpent that was stepped on by Ling Xiao was bonded by
You XiaoMo while he was in a daze. Although he would probably explode like thunder when he
awakens, the reality is they can just keep telling him that he just has to accept his fate.

Thus Da Piqiu and Xiao Hei express their deepest sympathies, brother, you are not alone!

Because there are magic herbs in You XiaoMo's dimension, Ling Xiao places the Nine-Winged
Magic Horn Serpent into his dimension. Only then do the two of them advance deeper into the canyon
to find that level nine magic herb.
Standing at the top of the cliff, swaying in the wind is the Emperor's blood herb. The Emperor's
blood herb is precisely one of the pivotal herbs needed in the level nine Green Clouds magic pill
recipe that You XiaoMo has in his hands. It is the most important one and is also the one that is
hardest to find.

This time, You XiaoMo spent a whole two hours to finish digging up the Emperor's blood herb.

In order to dig up this magic herb, he even drank a mouthful of magic water to replenish his almost
depleted soul force. Goes to show how out or reach a level nine magic herb is to a mage of this level.

This way, he already has one out of the five level nine magic herbs that are needed for the Green
Cloud magic pill. He only needs to find the remaining four level nine magic herbs and he would be
able to refine one Green Cloud magic pill in the future.

Speaking of that, You XiaoMo realizes that Green Clouds magic pill cannot really be considered a
genuine level nine magic pill.

The reason why it is classified as a level nine is because its effect comes from five types of level
nine magic herbs.

This kind of situation reflects the level. Because the requirement for these few magic herbs is like
defying heaven, so it barely makes the cut to be classified as a level nine magic pill. However, it is
still merely a mid to low level low quality magic pill. It has no use whatsoever to Emperor level
fighters.

After retrieving the Emperor's blood herb, the two men and two beasts are ready to leave Ling He
Canyon and head towards the nest of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders. But just as they are about to
walk out of the mouth of the Ling He Canyon, a faint yet excited voice can be heard coming from in
front of them.

"Elder brother, that heavily injured Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent is really inside the
canyon?"

"That's what the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders told me. Furthermore, it also said that the level
nine magic herb that the Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent is guarding is a stalk of Emperor's Blood
herb. Precisely one of the pivotal magic herbs needed for the Green Cloud magic pill.

Notes:Xiao Hei - Little Black

making a wedding dress for others - doing things for the benefit others

too much of a cow - too awesome

yup, the nine-winged magic horn serpent changed from 'it' to 'he' for some reason

Chapter 174

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Lucky Luo ShuHe.Hearing the words Green Cloud magic pill, You XiaoMo already has no doubt
that the one coming is Luo ShuHe.

Hearing his tone of voice, it seems as if they had the luck to bond with that Heavenly Bird of Six
Thunders. And the one that bonded with him should be Luo ShuHe. Martial artists can also bond with
magic beasts but they need the help of a mage.

"Congratulations Elder brother, congratulations elder brother! Now we only have to let
Junior Sister Yun bond with this Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent, and that would mean that
Qing Cheng sect will have three emperor level fighters. When that time comes, the lowly
TianXin sect will no longer be a match for us. We could even eliminate them."

"Ah, these things shouldn't be said too early. It's possible that TianXin sect is also as lucky as
us, bonding with two level nine magic beasts all of a sudden."

Luo ShuHe chuckles. Although there is faint admonishment in his words, anyone can hear that he
doesn't mind it and is actually quite excited. In his heart, he just doesn't think it's possible that the
disciples of TianXin sect can be as lucky as them.

That Junior brother who was speaking scoffs, "What's so great about TianXin sect? This kind of
luck is not something anyone can have. The way I see it, they would be lucky to bond with one
level eight magic beast."

"Big brother Yang, what Elder brother said is not wrong. It's too early to decide the outcome.
One month is not yet over. No one knows how it will turn out in the end."

A gentle voice suddenly speaks up. Seems to be that Junior sister Yun.

"I know la. Seems like Junior sister Yun speaks up for Elder brother every time."

Big brother Yang teases.

These words seem to anger that Junior sister Yun. She can be heard stamping her feet as if shamed
to anger while saying, "I'm only agreeing with Elder brother's view. Don't talk nonsense Big
brother Yang."

Big brother Yang laughs *hei hei*, seemingly not believing her words.

Maybe because Luo ShuHe bonded with a level nine magic beast, so the group of people are no
longer as uptight as they were when they first entered the Paradise Realm. Now they are already in
the mood to joke around.
After a while, Luo ShuHe finally opens his mouth, "Everyone should not forget themselves. The
Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent is not like the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders. He has already
shapeshifted for many years. His injuries are also not as severe as that of the Heavenly Bird of
Six Thunders. Whether we will be able to bond it is yet uncertain. Furthermore, the canyon is
very deep. It is unclear whether there are other magic beasts inside. Everyone be a little more
careful."

"What Young Master says is right. The situation inside the canyon is not clear. How about
you let old me go first to take a look ba."

"Then, we'd have to trouble Elder Li."

Luo ShuHe says.

"Young Master is too polite. If old me doesn't come back out in a hour, Young Master should
lead everyone away from here and find another opportunity to come back later."

Elder Li says.

Luo ShuHe frowns. If Elder Li who is Star level seven stars were to fall inside, it would mean that
the situation inside is not as rosy as they imagine. He then says, "ShuHe understands."

Naturally, not one word of their conversation escapes Ling Xiao's ears.

Ling Xiao didn't expect that their group of only three Star level fighters could actually walk up to
here. Furthermore, Luo ShuHe has pretty good luck. He chanced upon a heavily injured level nine
magic beast. If he really gets to bond another level nine magic beast, TianXin sect would really be
pushed down completely by Qing Cheng sect.

It's a pity that their rosy plan is doomed to fail.

You XiaoMo wanted to catch that Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders to bond with Fifth Brother or
Second Brother. Unfortunately Luo ShuHe was ahead by a step so he can't help feeling a little
disappointed.

You XiaoMo speaks hastily, "Elder brother Ling, that Elder Li is coming in soon. Should we
not hide?"

"No need. I thought of a good idea."

The corners of Ling Xiao's lips rise up slightly, revealing an especially warm smile, as if he has
just thought of some excellent idea.

Half an hour later, Elder Li who entered the canyon comes back out safely, but with a disappointed
expression.
Luo ShuHe frowns when he sees his expression but still asks hopefully, "Elder Li, what is the
situation? Is that Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent really heavily injured?"

Elder Li sighs, "Young Master, we are one step late. That Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent
was taken by someone one step ahead of us. I just went in to take a look. There is nothing left
inside."

Luo ShuHe's face can't help but falls as he speaks in a heavy tone, "That Emperor's Blood herb
ne?"

Elder Li smiles drily while shaking his head, "Also gone."

In an instant, the very happy atmosphere that was there half an hour go disappears all at once,
replaced with a very subdued heaviness. Everyone is silent. If it was only the Nine-Winged Magic
Horn Serpent that disappeared, everyone would probably not be so disappointed. But that Emperor's
Blood herb was the purpose of this mission. If it's gone, finding another one would be difficult.

After a while, Luo ShuHe frowns as he says, "Elder Li, who do you think took the Emperor's
Blood herb?"

Elder Li ponders for a bit, "The Emperor's Blood herb is a level nine magic herb. If not
careful, or if one's level is too low, it's impossible to to dig it out completely without damaging
it. Old me saw what was left after the Emperor's Blood herb was dug out. Extremely complete.
So old me thinks that the person who dug out the Emperor's Blood herb must be at least a level
five mage."

"Level five mage. Only TianXin sect and XingLuo group have that capability."

Luo ShuHe speaks solemnly.

For second class forces like XiaoYao group and the rest, they would definitely not send a level
five mage to the Paradise Realm. Although the Paradise Realm is a rare opportunity, the element of
danger is high. They would't be able to bear the loss.

It's not the same for TianXin sect and XingLuo group.

They have level eight and even level nine mages. Why would they bother about a level five mage?
They have deep resources and deep talents. They just have to pay a little more attention in nurturing
and that would do.

"TianXin sect already knows that the magic pill recipe was 'taken' away by Grand Master. If
it falls into their hands, it would be very troublesome. As for XingLuo group, they still don't
know about the level nine magic pill recipe. If we act rashly, it would only cause them to be
suspicious. Furthermore, we just don't know who dug it up."

The other Star level seven star Elder Mo shakes his head and sighs as he speaks.
"You can't mean just let it go?"

Brother Yang says unwillingly.

They have been looking for the Emperor's Blood herb for a long time. They only managed to charge
into the Jade Spiritual Cave after much difficulty. It was clearly something that was just before their
eyes and yet they were just one step behind. This kind of feeling leaves them feeling especially
helpless and furious.

"Whatever it is, let's leave here before talking it over ba."

Elder Li says.

Although everyone's mood is down in the dumps, they know that they shouldn't linger here. Ling He
canyon is no longer presided over by a level nine magic beast. Very quickly, other magic beasts will
come over when they get wind of it. Although they have two Star level seven star fighters, it's better
to take precautions.

Very quickly they return to the nest of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders.

Because the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders is heavily injured, Luo ShuHe left it in its nest.

Although he is very furious that the despicable human cultivators took advantage of his injuries to
act, there is nothing he can do about it. That human cultivator named Luo ShuHe seized the
opportunity to form a life-bond with him. Killing him would be the same as killing himself. That is
not something he's looking to do. Right now, the important thing is to recover from his injuries. If the
news that he is injured gets out, the other magic beasts will take the opportunity to seize his territory.

As for magic herbs, it's a pity that he only has a stalk of level eight magic herb. The number of
level nine magic herbs in the Jade Spiritual Cave can be counted on one hand. Otherwise, he wouldn't
have to go snatch the Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent's level nine magic herb.

The cave of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders is rather special. It's located on the edge of a very
steep cliff. At the precipice of the cliff, there is an enormous opening. The mountain cave is big
enough to accommodate his true form.

Because of injury, the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders has no way of retaining his human form. He
can only assume his true form and rest inside the cave.

When Luo ShuHe returns, he catches sight of the humanlike flash of anger in the expression of the
Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders. He knows that he is angry about something. Thinking that they would
be partners from now on, he says, "Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, I know you are very unhappy.
But we are now partners, with you being my life-bond magic beast. I promise that I won't treat
you badly."

The Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders rolls his enormous eyeballs and gives him a glance. Although
he acknowledges the truth in his words, he still won't accept him right away. It doesn't matter if he is
the son of whatever Qing Cheng sect's Grand Master, or however great his potential.

Luo ShuHe knows that he needs to give him a little time so he doesn't bring up the matter about the
bond again. Instead, he asks tentatively, "Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, we want to leave this
place. You ....... can you still fly?"

At first, the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders doesn't react. After a while that enormous body
suddenly gets smaller and smaller. Finally turning into a mini version of the Heavenly Bird of Six
Thunders. If one doesn't look closely, one wouldn't be able to tell what kind of magic beast he is.

The cavernous mountain cave feels extremely wide all of a sudden.

Luo ShuHe is struck with glee. The willingness of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders to shrink
himself means that he is already showing some signs of accepting him.

At that time, when he was establishing the bond with the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, he did
feel some hesitation. After all, forming the bond by force increases the possibility of lowering the
affinity of the bond. Looks like there is some hope.

Luo ShuHe scoops up the mini Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders and places him carefully on his
shoulder before leaving the cliff.

Seeing the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, everyone's mood finally starts to lift a little. Although
they weren't able to find the Emperor's Blood herb, having a level nine magic beast allows Qing
Cheng sect to rise up one level, putting TianXin sect under their feet.

Now their mission continues with their quest for other magic herbs and magic beasts. For the
moment, the dreams of level nine magic herbs are put to one side.

Because the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders told them that although there really are more level nine
magic herbs in the center of the Jade Spiritual Cave, the magic beasts guarding the level nine magic
herbs are even stronger. Some are almost on the point of breaking through past level nine. They would
only be walking to their deaths if they proceed.

Although it's too bad, while depending on the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, they really managed
to find quite a few good magic herbs and magic beasts of acceptable level in the following fifteen
days. Although their levels cannot match that of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, level six and
level seven is not too shabby. Although some of the magic beasts have already gained spiritual
enlightenment, they would still lose when battling with humans.

In no time the contingent that started with five people, rises like a dragon all of a sudden, with the
addition of seven mid-level magic beasts. Not only that, this lineup can probably be considered the
strongest lineup in the Paradise Realm.

Chapter 175

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Shapeshifting and a new team member.Fifteen days later, the time since they entered the Paradise
Realm has already been twenty days. At last, only one third of the time limit of one month remains.

At this time, a lot of the forces have already started to assemble back together. All of them are
headed in one direction. That direction is the Paradise Realm's highest peak, the magnificent palace
on top of Magic Beast peak.

It is said that the palace is originally sealed. But for some reason, there is a chance that the palace
would open once a month for one day. That timing is precisely the latter part of their one month time
limit.

Precisely because that is so, when Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo came across Lei Ju, they were not
the least bit worried that they would miss the opening of the palace. Because even if they rushed there
immediately, they could only wait outside. Furthermore, it is not certain that they would even be able
to make it to the palace on the Magic Beast peak.

The Magic Beast peak is thus named because it is occupied by countless powerful magic beasts.

Not only that. Those magic beasts are all the rare kind of grand magic beasts. The lowest is level
six. The highest is said to be level ten. Any higher is limited by the restriction of the Magic Beast
peak so the strengths of the magic beasts stop at level ten.

With these many magic beasts of such formidable strengths, if they really come across them, there
wouldn't be enough people for them to trample on even if all the sects are added together.

Luckily, if these mighty grand magic beasts are not provoked or alarmed, they are usually holed up
in their own territories. They wouldn't venture out for no reason.

Because the road to the Magic Beast peak is arduous with all sorts of obstacles, most of the sects
and forces would plan to arrive five to six days in advance.

Although there are numerous Qing Cheng sect disciples, their strengths are all over the place.
Groups of five charging in is not possible so they already agreed before entering that Luo ShuHe and
them will meet twenty days later at some small valley.

Luo ShuHe's group of five is the first to arrive. They first clear the small valley of all the magic
beasts and then start to wait inside.

However, because they arrived early by half a day, they see no signs of their brothers even after
waiting for over two hours. When everyone is about to get restless, Elder Li proposes that he goes to
check out the situation .......
On the grasslands that stretches as far as the eye can see, a human figure is sitting quietly cross-
legged on the grass.

This person is You XiaoMo. In his vicinity, three magic beasts of uneven sizes are encircling him.
One looks like he is deep in thought. One is expressionless. One looks indifferent but is rolling his
deep green eyes as if saying 'Why do I have to follow you guys doing this kind of stupid thing?'

Right at this moment, the one that appeared deep in thought suddenly howls *ao wu*, and is the first
to jump up. Its white tail wags cheerfully at top speed, while its pair of eyes shine as they look at You
XiaoMo.

The other two pay no attention to its excitement, continuing to lie lazily on the ground.

However, their eyes are fixed on the the one they are encircling, You XiaoMo. The spiritual energy
surrounding You XiaoMo suddenly starts to stir fiercely, as if it can no longer be held back. Faint
whitish strands surround him, forming a vortex. All of a sudden, these strands of spiritual energy is
sucked into the space between the person's eyebrows.

The faint seal that appeared when he was cultivating in the dimension appears once again between
his eyebrows.

This time, because there are three magic beasts watching, they clearly see the seal flash in the
space between his eyebrows. However, the seal is still indistinct.

But if they had seen the seal when it first appeared, they would have discovered that the seal
between You XiaoMo's eyebrows this time is a little larger. Furthermore, it slowly expands sideways
from the center of his forehead.

When the seal disappears once again, the waves of spiritual energy in the air finally calm down.

You XiaoMo opens his eyes and heaves a deep sigh of relief. Finally, he has broken through the
third level to become a level four mage.

Heaven knows that he has been waiting for this moment for almost half a month. Being stuck at the
pinnacle of level three left his heart suspended in mid-air.

What he didn't expect is that it took more than twice the spiritual energy than it did before to go
from level three to level four. Looks like it's not so easy to break through to level four. As for the
second level for the Heavenly Soul Scroll, he already managed to break through. It's precisely
because of that, that he tried to push through to become a level four mage.

Because he just had a break through, his soul force is full.

You XiaoMo takes stock of the soul force of a level four mage. The strength of the force is much
more than that of a level three mage. He is confident that, if he were to come across a level nine
magic herb, he wouldn't have to drink magic water in order to dig it out completely.
Seeing that the Master is not paying them any heed, Da Piqiu howls at him.

Only then does You XiaoMo react. He laughs as he rubs Da Piqiu's head, "I know. Don't make a
fuss."

Saying this, he stands up and then disappears from the sights of the three magic beasts.

The three magic beasts do not panic because this kind of thing has happened many times. You
XiaoMo didn't really disappear, he just entered his own dimension. That's right, the place he went to
is his own dimension. The place he was before is Ling Xiao's dimension.

In principle, the two dimensions cannot be superimposed on each other.

However, You XiaoMo's dimension is not a dimension in the true sense, refined from a spatial rift,
his dimension is rather special. If you want to put it into words, it can be explained as a dimension
carved out from a spatial rift. So even if he is now inside Ling Xiao's dimension, he can still enter his
own dimension.

Half an hour later, You XiaoMo reappears in front of them.

However, this time there are three stalks of magic herbs in his hand. These three stalks of magic
herbs are none other than the Shapeshifting herb.

Half a month ago, he planted the Shapeshifting herb in his dimension. In order to speed up the
maturity of the Shapeshifting herb and to hasten the dropping of seeds, he watered it with magic water
once every hour. He finally succeeded in making the Shapeshifting herb mature. Not only that, he also
used the seeds that fell to cultivate a few more stalks of the Shapeshifting herb, all high quality ones at
that.

Thus the Shapeshifting herb in his hands is not the fiery red of before. Instead, it is a deep deep red,
as if the color has been precipitating for many years.

Seeing You XiaoMo reappear, Da Piqiu and Xiao Hei leap up from the ground. A pair of red and a
pair of gold eyes fix desperately on the Shapeshifting herbs in You XiaoMo's hand.

There is no longer any resistance left in Xiao Hei's heart because Da Piqiu told him that Master can
cultivate the Shapeshifting herb, and high quality ones at that. As one that has grown up inside the
dimension, Da Piqiu is the second most familiar with his Master's secrets.

Once he heard that there would be the Shapeshifting herb, and a high quality one at that, Xiao Hei
was very shamelessly bought over by a stalk of the Shapeshifting herb. From the heart in his body to
his soul, as long as there is the Shapeshifting herb, other than handing over his life, everything else, he
would do.

But, not only does You XiaoMo hold the Shapeshifting herb, he also brought his Enlightened
Golden Cauldron.
For magic beasts, once the Shapeshifting herb is mature, they would immediately find a favorable
time and place to gobble down the Shapeshifting herb, because if they delay, it's very probable that
other magic beasts will get wind of it and come and snatch it.

Therefore, even though magic beasts know that the Shapeshifting herb shouldn't be gobbled up
carelessly, each and every one of them is too eager to wait.

However, even though the Shapeshifting herb is a level seven magic herb, and can't be compared to
magic herbs of level eight and above, the medicinal power it contains is so strong that even magic
beasts won't be able to handle it. Therefore, many magic beasts may not be able to shapeshift
successfully even though they have the Shapeshifting herb.

However, this may also be related to the quality of the magic herb.

Low and mid quality Shapeshifting herbs are considerably inferior when compared to high quality
Shapeshifting herbs. On top of that, magic beasts do not understand the correct way of using the
Shapeshifting herb. All these result in the high rate of failure seen with magic beasts when it comes to
shapeshifting.

What You XiaoMo wants to do, is to help Da Piqiu and Xiao Hei refine the Shapeshifting herb into
magic pill form.

Simply gobbling down the Shapeshifting herb will cause the medicinal energy to riot in all
directions inside the body. Although the flesh of magic beasts is pretty resilient, they might not be able
to withstand it. Furthermore, it may cause the power of the Shapeshifting herb to leak out.

So, one just needs to refine the Shapeshifting herb into magic pill form, gently wrapping up the
medicinal power by using the soul force. This way, the chance of successful shapeshifting will be
increased.

Not long after, You XiaoMo succeeds in transforming the three stalks of Shapeshifting herbs into
three magic pills.

Refining magic pills from a single stalk of magic herb is much easier than blending multiple types
of magic herbs. The time he took was less than a quarter of an hour.

Da Piqiu and Xiao Hei use their teeth to lightly grip the Shapeshifting magic pill that You XiaoMo
hands to them. They then take off running to find their own place to prepare to shapeshift.

After the two of them left, You XiaoMo just keeps the other Shapeshifting magic pill before turning
to look at the Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent.

Speaking of the Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent. This fellow woke up to discover that he had
been bonded by a despicable human.

And that despicable human is the mage in front of him. Not only that, he also found out that his
bonded master is actually only a level three mage. Most importantly, this puny level three mage
actually didn't form a life-bond with him. He is furious.

The dignity of a high level magic beast is sacred and inviolable. Especially when it is a puny mage.

However, he has yet to flaunt his power in front of the puny mage because there is an even stronger
force coming from an unique blood lineage pushing him down with immense pressure. And so the
Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent finally comes to realize what is called, there are heavens beyond
heavens, beasts beyond beasts.

This puny mage in front of his eyes has such a noble emperor magic beast. No wonder he didn't
form a life-bond with him who is merely a high level magic beast.

The Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent uses his pair of enormous snake eyes to look at the body of
the puny mage.

It must be said that this is blinding to his magic beast eyes. A level three mage actually managed to
bond with a emperor magic beast. And a life-bond at that. What the hell, this kind of luck is just an
embarrassment of riches.

And so, seeing that the puny mage has an emperor magic beast, the Nine-Winged Magic Horn
Serpent no longer quibbles about the matter with the bond.

Of course, not quibbling does not mean he identifies with him.

However, the problem with the injury on his body was solved by this puny mage in front of his
eyes, healing him seventy to eighty percent in just two days. He is beyond delighted that he made such
an astute decision at that time. He hardens the resolve in his heart to hang on to the large tree behind
this small tree. A certain narcissistic snake harbors that thought.

But if you want to talk about some regrettable flaw, that would be .......

"Sheqiu, why did you become so small again? I almost stepped on you."

You XiaoMo squats down and picks up the mini version of the Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent.

The Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent, also known as Sheqiu, uses his pair of profoundly green
eyes to glance at You XiaoMo dispiritedly. Anyone given the name Sheqiu would also most probably
feel unhappy. Furthermore, enlarging and minimizing oneself is an innate ability for most magic
beasts.

As for why You XiaoMo chose the name Sheqiu, the fault, is his own.

He should not have curled up into a ball when he woke up, giving him the inspiration. Saying that if
his name has the word qiu, he can be Da Piqiu's companion. Later they can also form a qiu team. And
so, this is how Sheqiu came to be .......

His balls are really aching ah!


Furthermore, what is this joke about a qiu team?

The Nine-Winged Magic Horn Serpent, ah no, now it's Sheqiu, even though his face is rather
expressionless, the agitation in his heart is quite spirited. You XiaoMo has no idea. You XiaoMo has
even less of a clue that the reason why he changed into a mini snake is because he doesn't want You
XiaoMo to find him. It was intentional!

The clueless You XiaoMo is still thinking that something must have happened to Sheqiu's body
when he had his breakthrough.

Just as he was about to examine Sheqiu, a wave of energy fluctuation can be felt coming from the
direction where Xiao Hei is cultivating. You XiaoMo feels that this wave of energy is actually rather
forceful. Turning around to take a look, he discovers that Xiao Hei's shapeshifting actually caused a
turbulence in the energy of heaven and earth. No wonder the hurdle between level eight and level nine
is known as the hurdle of despair.

The turbulence of energy affecting heaven and earth continues for a whole quarter of an hour and
still doesn't stop. Before it could subside, something starts to stir in Da Piqiu's direction, a sign of
impending success in shapeshifting.

For a while, the two energy forces affecting heaven and earth seem to be competing, forces of
tremendous strength.

Only after an hour do the two waves of heaven and earth affecting energy subside one after the
other.

Note:Sheqiu - snake ball

Chapter 176

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Ascending Magic Beast Peak.The first human figure to appear is a pretty young man who looks
sunny but is actually gloomy.

The pretty young man has a beautiful face but not like a flower vase. His figure is rather delicate
with a very slim waist that looks as if it won't stand up to a hold. The face of the pretty young boy that
should clearly warm the heart and delight the eyes is instead cold, as if everyone owes him a gold
coin.

This pretty young man is none other than Xiao Hei!

Xiao Hei doesn't seem to be too happy with his own human form, cold-faced from the start to the
end. After appearing, he doesn't even greet You XiaoMo and Sheqiu, and just sits down in a huff,
cross-legged on the ground.

But still there is something good that came out of it. His cultivation is now higher than it was
before shapeshifting. Originally, he hadn't broken through Star level. After shapeshifting, he advanced
right through level six, becoming level seven and two stars.

You XiaoMo wanted to ask him what's the matter but he was distracted by Da Piqiu.

Right after the appearance of Xiao Hei, Da Piqiu also walks out in human form from the place he
was cultivating .......

A short and stout little fatty is striding over on his two stumpy legs. However, probably because he
is still not used to walking on two legs, the little fatty falls over with each step he takes. This happens
again and again until the little fatty finally gets mad and gives up walking on two legs altogether. He
simply falls to the ground and crawls towards them on his hands and feet .......

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

Xiao Hei, " ....... "

Sheqiu, " ....... "

What is this difference between now and what it was before shapeshifting?

Little fatty crawls up to them with much difficulty. Although it is only a short several hundred
meters, he is already huffing and puffing tiredly. He sits on the ground wheezing as he catches his
breath.

You XiaoMo is the first to react, exclaiming happily, "How apt that you're my Da Piqiu, still
looking like a ball even after shapeshifting. Looks like you really like the name I picked for you.
But I didn't expect you to be so this small after shapeshifting. I see that Da Piqiu doesn't seem
to really fit you."

Don't look at the huge size of Da Piqiu's actual body. The fact is, it has only been about two months
since his birth. It's already a miracle that he is able to shapeshift so one shouldn't quibble about his
human form.

However, after hearing those words, Da Piqiu's expression lights up in an instant as he looks
expectantly at his master.

He had wanted to get rid of this ridiculous name a long time ago but at that time, he was unable to
speak so he had no choice but to accept it.

Then You XiaoMo claps his hands and says, "From now on, you'll just be known as Piqiu."

Piqiu who suddenly lost the word Da, " ....... "

Xiao Hei and Sheqiu looks at Da Piqiu with sympathy, oh wait, now it's Piqiu, but ....... there
doesn't seem to be a difference from before.

Piqiu objects, "Master, I don't like Piqiu."

You XiaoMo exclaims in surprise, "Why? Piqiu is very nice sounding, just like Sheqiu. Later
on you all can form a Qiu team. How good ah. That's right, there's also Xiao Hei. Since
everyone has the character Qiu, it'll be fine if Xiao Hei also changes his name."

Xiao Hei grinds his teeth as he says, "I don't want to."

You XiaoMo sees that his face turns black so he immediately explains, "Xiao Hei will change his
name to Heiqiu. After all, your fur is black. But since everyone is used to calling you Xiao Hei,
although your real name will be Heiqiu from now on, everyone call still call you Xiao Hei."

Sheqiu's pair of green eyes suddenly light up but it was only for an instant. Very quickly the rays of
hope are extinguished. Although he really wants to change his name, he might as well not say
anything.

Why would You XiaoMo care if they like it or not? He wants them to form a Qiu team so it will be
so even if they don't like it. Therefore, resisting is completely pointless.

Clearly Sheqiu understands this point. Therefore, he doesn't make too much of a fuss about his
name.

Although he hasn't been together with You XiaoMo for long, he can still tell that this puny little
mage is definitely not someone without his own ideas. The things that he has decided upon, unless you
can convince him otherwise, he definitely wouldn't care about you. Even if you speak until your lips
split, he would still continue on resolutely with what he has decided.

And so, a three person Qiu team comes out fresh from the oven.

You XiaoMo smiles in satisfaction. Later, when they gather enough members, they may be able to
form a five person basketball team or even make up two soccer teams.

Right at this moment, a hysterical laughter rings out in the sky.

When everyone raises their heads, the owner of that laughter has already appeared in front of them.
A dashing and imposing ....... old man?

You XiaoMo pouts, "Elder brother Ling, you'll look better if you resume your original
appearance."

He really can't bear to look at Ling Xiao's usual expression on the face of an old man. It makes it
seem surreal. Maybe it will even cause him to recall the old man Ling Xiao every time he sees him
from now on .......

The old man laughs sinisterly, "Little brother, do you judge people solely by their appearance?"

You XiaoMo throws up,"Ou~"

Piqiu, Heiqiu, and Sheqiu look up at Ling Xiao in worship.

After teasing his own Little brother, Elder Li, who is Ling Xiao, agrees to You XiaoMo's request
and finally resumes his original appearance. Of course, this is not his true appearance but Lin Xiao's
appearance.

Seeing Ling Xiao in his original appearance, You XiaoMo feels a little better, saying wearily,
"Why did you come in? Were you found out?"

"If I don't let them find out, do you think they can?" Ling Xiao's nose is almost pointed to the
sky. These words are spoken with utmost self-confidence, spoken as if Luo ShuHe and company do
not exist.

You XiaoMo is silent.

Even though it is rather arrogant, it can't be denied that this fellow has the right to be arrogant.

Speaking about that, Ling Xiao had a good idea at that time, to impersonate Elder Li. And so,
fifteen days ago, the Elder Li that entered Ling He canyon simply wasn't able to check on Sheqiu and
the Emperor's Blood herb before he was eliminated by Ling Xiao.

After eliminating that fellow, he tossed Elder Li's body into the black hole. Because he absorbed
Elder Li's memory, he was able to mimic him very closely. Luo ShuHe and company completely
couldn't tell that he was a fake.
"Elder brother Ling, are they preparing to head to the palace?"

Counting the time, You XiaoMo realizes that two thirds of the month have already passed, so it
should be about time.

Ling Xiao utters a vague sound of agreement, and then says, "I have gotten quite a lot of
information from Luo ShuHe and company these few days. However, I still feel that Luo ShuHe
seems to be hiding something."

"He can't even tell Elder Li?" You XiaoMo asks excitedly, "Then what could he be hiding?
Can it be that you're overthinking things?"

According to the situation, it's unlikely that Luo ShuHe would conceal things from his own people,
especially from two strong Elders. That's because there are dangers upon dangers in the Paradise
Realm. If they don't work as one, many things can't be accomplished.

Ling Xiao casts a sidelong glance at him and narrows his eyes while saying, "Little brother, do
you think I'm overthinking things?"

You XiaoMo laughs hollowly, "I'm only guessing, that's all."

Piqiu, Heiqiu, and Sheqiu look at him with disdain. So domineering towards them and yet not even
daring to exhale when it comes to Elder brother. Utmost contempt!

After this, Ling Xiao is not planning to follow Luo ShuHe and company any more. Firstly, they
already have enough information so it's unlikely that they would have to rush around blindly when
they go up Magic Beast peak. Secondly, all of Qing Cheng sect's disciples will be gathered together
so there would be a significant decrease in efficiency. Following them would only be a waste of time.
Since he has decided not to follow them any longer, 'Elder Li' no longer has to go back there.

At the same moment, not long after 'Elder Li' left, Luo ShuHe and company finally see the first
batch of people they were waiting for.

Not long after the first batch reaches the small valley, more Qing Cheng sect disciples start to
arrive one after another. Roughly throughout the day, the disciples arrive until finally everyone is
here. However, there are some casualties. Fortunately the disciples who are hurt do not have serious
injuries.

Luo ShuHe takes a headcount and realizes that Elder Li has yet to return.

Elder Li is not an irresponsible person. Not returning after such a long time probably means he has
met with some thorny issues. However, they do not know where he went so they can't go look for him.
In the end, Luo ShuHe decides to wait for half a day. If he doesn't come back by then, they will set out
without him.

The result is a foregone conclusion. 'Elder Li' simply doesn't come back.
On the other side, Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo, who set out one step before them, rely on the map
and very quickly arrive at the foot of Magic Beast peak.

During that time, they came across groups from the other sects and forces.

Vast and mighty with a rather imposing manner. Among them are those from TianXin sect.
Naturally, they have also assembled together, led by a few strong Elders. Among the people are Lei
Ju, Tang YunQi, and others.

It is worth mentioning that the group of people also contain the few disciples who parted ways with
Ling Xiao at the stone platform. Looking at them, it seems as if they have not told anyone about what
Ling Xiao told them to do.

Other than that, Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin are also present.

The curious thing is, Fang ChenLe doesn't seem to be regarded highly by the few Elders as You
XiaoMo imagined.

Especially that Elder Shi that abandoned him to save himself. He definitely isn't trying to get on
Fang ChenLe's good side. Instead, he is with the haughty and pompous Tang YunQi and Lei Ju. They
must have had some lucky encounters these fifteen days, actually bonding with a level seven and level
six magic beast.

As for the Poisonous Flood Dragon that Fang ChenLe bonded with, there is no sign of it. Most
probably it is hiding as its mini-version.

Notes:flower vase - just a pretty face

Heiqiu - black ball

Thanks for the kind words! Let's plod on in the meantime.


Chapter 177

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Water Demon.Ling Xiao says, "I didn't expect that Fang ChenLe would be so shrewd."

Really like what they say, treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime. Although they are brothers and
elders from the same sect, they may still harm you because of jealousy. Furthermore, this is the
Paradise Realm. Anything can happen. Even if some people were to do it, they can easily push the
blame off of themselves. Therefore the best way is to keep the matter of having a bonded magic beast
to oneself.

This is why Ling Xiao says that he is shrewd.

Fang ChenLe is much smarter that those two who are currently flaunting their level seven and level
six magic beasts. At the least, he understands the principle that one shouldn't let others see one's own
wealth.

"Elder brother has always been rather smart."

You XiaoMo says while feeling extremely pleased with himself.

Ling Xiao glances at him, "Then who do you think is smarter? Your Elder brother or me?"

You XiaoMo curls his lips. He knows that if he says that Elder brother is smarter, Ling Xiao would
definitely kill him. So he has no choice but to say hollowly, "Of course you are smarter."

If Piqiu and the rest were here, they would definitely despise You XiaoMo for bullying the weak
while fearing the strong.

Ling Xiao adds, "But your Elder brother and Second brother don't seem to be in a favorable
position ah."

You XiaoMo freezes, then asks hastily, "What happened?"

At that time, the distance was far so he didn't get a clear look.

Ling Xiao says, "All of Earth peak, including you is not even ten people. On top of that, Earth
peak does not get along well with Heaven peak. Recently, Tang YunQi and Lei Ju bonded with a
mid-level magic beast each. Although the strength is not high, it can still be considered as
adding to the combat strength of TianXin sect. This way, Earth peak wouldn't be able to
overcome it. Being pushed aside is something that can be foreseen."

You XiaoMo feels that this matter can't be helped.


Choosing to keep a low profile guarantees that you will be pushed aside. Unless Elder brother
chooses to act like Tang YunQi and brings out his own bonded Poisonous Flood Dragon. However,
that would be akin to putting himself in danger. If Lei Ju knows that Elder brother's bonded magic
beast is even more powerful than his, who knows if he would do some underhanded thing.

So, with regards to this point, even though it results in getting pushed aside, You XiaoMo is still
very much in agreement with Elder brother's actions.

After that, the two of them no longer talk about this issue.

Although there are many ways to get to the Demon Peak*, there is only one road up the Demon
Peak. It's through the Death Valley beneath the Demon Peak.

Death Valley is the first dangerous obstacle for Demon Peak. Inside is actually a snake nest.
Furthermore, it is said that the snakes inside this nest is the same kind of snake as those found in the
Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain.

Therefore some people have already guessed that the Evil Heavenly Pythons of the Ten Thousand
Python Demon Plain most probably came from the Paradise Realm.

No matter what the reality is, Death Valley is definitely not some place to charge into. At least for
forces of TianXin sect's strength.

Luckily they already experienced it before so they know how to charge through this obstacle while
paying the lowest price. However, these things are not important when it comes to You XiaoMo and
Ling Xiao.

Just as they step into the Death Valley, Ling Xiao summons Sheqiu.

Sheqiu looks at Ling Xiao questioningly, "Is something the matter, great leader?"

Ling Xiao beams as he points to the entrance of the Death Valley, and pats him on the shoulder, "Go
have a chat with your brothers. Remember not to talk for hours and forget to come back."

Sheqiu's face falls, "Great leader, those low level creatures are not my brothers."

Ling Xiao nods, "Of course I know. But they are after all your kind. Go quickly. Stop
dawdling."

Sheqiu can only swallow the bitterness and go find his 'brothers' to have a heart to heart talk.
Mother! He is after all a level nine magic beast. Talking with a group of low level magic beasts, and
most of them have not even achieved enlightenment. What the hell can they talk about? But it's the
great leader's orders. He has to go even if he doesn't want to.

Sheqiu disappears quickly inside the Death Valley. Not long after, the faintly agitated Death Valley
suddenly quiets down. That noxious unnatural odor also dissipates.
Clearly it's the work of Sheqiu. However, as a high level magic beast, if he couldn't suppress a
group of low level magic beasts, his life would be too much of a failure.

At this point, Luo ShuHe's group has no idea that the one hour that they had calculated in their
hearts to charge through Death Valley would turn into three hours under Sheqiu's provocation. So, by
the time they climb to the top of Magic Beast peak, the treasures on the mountain top seems to have
been wiped clean by certain people.

Speaking of certain people, after easily stepping over the the first obstacle, Death Valley, they
simply set out for the mountain peak.

The Demon Peak has a barrier. It is said that the palace opens once a month. What actually opens is
the barrier of Demon Peak.

Actually, other people can still go up when the barrier isn't open because the barrier is actually
targeted against magic beasts. But because the top of Demon Peak is flooded with a layer of
poisonous gas, only the magic beasts that have grown up in the midst of the poisonous gas do not fear
it.

Therefore, when the barrier is not open, the top of Demon Peak is filled with a layer of
concentrated poisonous gas. Taking in one breath would endanger the bodies of martial artists and
mages. When the barrier is open, the poisonous gas on top of Demon Peak would dissipate
considerably. If one goes up at this time, although the poisonous gas is still there, as long as one
comes back down within the stipulated time, there wouldn't be a problem.

The second distinguishing feature of Demon Peak is the Shallow Shores. It is the most dangerous
place in Demon Peak, not just one of the most dangerous.

The Shallow Shores is also called flowers in the mirror or moon in the water. The meaning is to
not let appearances mislead you. More often than not, what your eyes see is not what the reality is.

Furthermore, although it is called Shallow Shores, it is not the least bit shallow. It's only a name,
nothing more, because of a group of transparent Water Demons under the surface. Water Demons are
mid-level magic beasts. Although their strengths are not very high, the underwater is their world.

Water Demons are not a type of kind and gentle magic beasts. They would willfully attack humans,
no matter if they are in the water, or up in the air.

Usually, those flying on top of Shallow Shores, if they carelessly fly too low, without paying
attention to what is happening under the Shallow Shores, they would most probably be dragged into
the water by the Water Demons.

If no one saves you in time, of if you are incapable of saving yourself, you would most probably be
divvied up and eaten by the Water Demons under the Shallow Shores.

However, the most horrific place in Shallow Shores is actually not here.
It is said the surroundings of Shallow Shores is inhabited by a lot of level seven and above magic
beasts. It's the place in the Paradise Realm with the strongest magic beasts, more than at the Jade
Spiritual Cave.

Therefore, if there is too much movement, it would most probably attract those very powerful
magic beasts.

You XiaoMo was carried by Ling Xiao, flying over the Shallow Shores.

However, perhaps because Ling Xiao is being mischievous, You XiaoMo keeps feeling that they
are flying a little too close to the surface of the Shallow Shores, so low that he could almost see the
bottom of the crystal clear water. However, the surface of the water is extremely still making it seem
as if it is impossible for the bottom of this crystal clear and calm water surface to have savage and
cruel Water Demons.

Thinking of how a Water Demon can suddenly jump out of the water and grab them, You XiaoMo
feels a cold chill and quickly pats Ling Xiao on the shoulder, "Elder brother Ling, how about we fly
a little higher?"

When Ling Xiao hears these words, he knows that he is afraid. He turns his head towards him and
smiles. Just when he is about to speak, there is movement on the surface of the water. A ripple
spreads out from the water surface, as if it is a sign of something. Next, wave after wave starts to
spread out violently, faster and faster.

Right at this moment, the water surface breaks open suddenly and a shrieking transparent Water
Demon rushes out from under the water.

This voice stuns You XiaoMo and terrifies him such that he almost lets go of Ling Xiao's arm.
Fortunately Ling Xiao reacts in time, hugging him tight and immediately speeding up while flying
higher. The Water Demon comes up empty.

You XiaoMo turns to look. The transparent body of the Water Demon is rather clearly visible
above the water. It looks like a human body made out of water. What's different is it seems to be a
different species. Its ears are long and pointed with very sharp teeth. It can't speak but its mouth can
issue a voice that is extremely aggravating to humans.

Because it came up empty, the Water Demon falls back into the water, splashing *pu tong*, but it
doesn't dive back to the bottom of the water. Instead it floats on the water surface and glares at them
viciously.

You XiaoMo looks at it in horror, "Elder brother Ling, why does this Water Demon look like a
human?"

Ling Xiao stops in mid-air while holding onto his waist. He looks down from up high at the Water
Demon that is glowering at them. He laughs, "Do you know how the Water Demon magic beast
came about?"
You XiaoMo shakes his head immediately. He didn't see any detailed records of the Water Demon
on the magic beast scrolls. He only knows that it is a type of mid-level magic beast that is usually
level four to level five in strength.

Although it isn't very strong, the Water Demon lives its whole life in the water. Furthermore, they
are large in number. Therefore, even if a Star level fighter falls inside, he may not be able to free
himself.

"To be exact, the Water Demon is a semi-magic beast because its former body is that of a
human." Ling Xiao says.

"Human?" You XiaoMo jumps in shock. No wonder it looks human.

"A very long time ago, before this world had this kind of magic beast, water demon, legend
says the first water demon came about from the transformation of a martial artist who
mistakenly took ice poison. That kind of ice poison can only be found at the bottom of a ten
thousand year old abyss. That martial artist mistakenly entered the ten thousand year old abyss.
As a result, he mistook the ice poison for a magic crystal and consumed it. After that, the ice
poison spread very quickly throughout his whole body. Although he didn't die, he changed into a
half man half demon water demon. Furthermore, he could only survive in the water."

Water demons may not be very well known but ice poison is something everyone knows. As long
as the abyss is more than ten thousand years old, it can definitely be found.

"So all the water demons are people that transformed from mistakenly taking ice poison?"

You XiaoMo asks in surprise. If it really is so, the ice poison at the bottom of the abyss is rather
too incredible.

Ling Xiao glances at him in amusement, refuting his statement, "Of course not. You think there
are so many ten thousand year old abysses?"

You XiaoMo rubs his nose, "Then how did the other water demons come about?"

Ling Xiao speaks, "It's infection. After that martial artist turned into a water demon, his
whole body, top to bottom seemed to have turned into ice poison. On top of that, after he turned
into a water demon, his strength became stronger than it was when he was human. Most
importantly, he had a very high IQ. He spread a rumor to deceive the martial artists of that time
saying that there are magic crystals at the bottom of the ten thousand year old abyss. Of course
those idiots took the bait. And so an unending stream of martial artists headed for the abyss.
The result was as expected, it seemed over half of the idiots turned into his kind."

You XiaoMo takes in a sharp breath. That water demon was really too much.

The most brilliant part was yet to come.


Although later on a few mighty martial artists did organize men to eliminate that water demon, it
was already too late.

Among the previously infected martial artists, some of them that were stronger didn't turn into
water demons immediately. But the result is still the same. The bad thing is they brought back their
whole body's worth of ice poison to the human population.

At that time, a lot of people didn't know that the ice poison is extremely contagious. Not only does
it spread by touch, it can also spread through the air.

And so it simply lead to a disaster. It is said that the whole population of a town of over ten
thousand people were infected by ice poison and turned into water demons. At that time, the news
shocked a lot of people. They finally understood how dangerous ice poison can be.

After that, although there was a great alliance of practitioners to eradicate the water demons,
because the problem was too extensive, there would always be a fish that slipped from the net.
Therefore, they couldn't get rid of the water demons completely. Fortunately the water demons can
only survive in water. So, as long as humans don't go near bodies of water that may have water
demons, it will be fine.

So, before now, the water demons seemed to have been half magic beasts that have been stamped
out of existence for many years. No one expected that the master of the Paradise Realm would
actually raise a group of water demons in captivity, something that would make make practitioners
quake in terror at the mention of the name.

You XiaoMo swallows repeatedly, "Elder brother Ling, do you think this Shallow Shores is a
ten thousand year old abyss?"

Although a ten thousand year old abyss will have water demons, there is a saying that with risk
comes reward. Before, Ling Xiao said that ice poison can only be found in a ten thousand year old
abyss. It's the same for magic crystals, but it is not for certain. However, it is very likely.

Ling Xiao suddenly gives him a strange smile, "I forgot to tell you. An abyss that has over a
thousand water demons would definitely be a ten thousand year old abyss."

You XiaoMo feels very strongly that if this fellow can say that, there must be a thousand water
demons below .......

Under You XiaoMo's terrified look, Ling Xiao pulls his arm while smiling slightly, "Little brother
wants to know if they are down there? We'll just have to go straight in and we'll know."

Before You XiaoMo could let out a scream, he was already diving in head first into the Shallow
Shores with Ling Xiao .......

Notes:*magic beast peak was changed to demon peak because it sounds better
Treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime - get in trouble because of one's riches

Flowers in the mirror or moon in the water - illusion

Chapter 178

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Magic crystal.The ice cold deep water almost pierces the skin but it's only for a moment before the
feeling disappears, replaced by a gentle energy. That gentle energy surrounds him and spreads out
forming a membrane like a water bubble, gently undulating as it encloses him and Ling Xiao within.

You XiaoMo takes one look and knows that it is Ling Xiao's work of art. Just as he is about to say
something, *peng* rings out, and the membrane of the water bubble shakes suddenly. There seems to
be something in the ice cold deep waters.

At this moment, Ling Xiao's voice enters his ears, "Take your soul force and condense it in both
of your eyes."

You XiaoMo doesn't hesitate and takes a wisp of his soul force and covers his eyes with it. Faint
white rays immediately shine from his black eyes. When he looks forward again he finally sees the
water demons dashing against the barrier.

One, two, three ....... countless water demons surround them, with cold expressionless faces, as if
they are already food in their mouths.

After the first water demon dashes against the barrier enclosing them, sounds of the second and
third hits rise and fall. The water demons are slamming against the barrier frantically as if their lives
depended on it. Each and everyone not seeming to tire nor bruise, slamming into the barrier such that
it rings *peng peng* as if it could break at any time.

You XiaoMo grips Ling Xiao's arm tightly, terrified that they would really puncture the barrier.
Although he knows in his heart that it is not possible, he still feels his insides quake with fear.

Furthermore, these water demons are just like those described in the scrolls, mostly of level four or
five strength. Based on their strength and power, it is impossible for them to break Ling Xiao's
barrier.

This situation continues for roughly the time it takes to burn half a josstick. Then the water demons
finally stop their self-harming ramming actions. Each and every one of them opens their mouths and
let out bursts of sound waves. However, the sound waves do not reach You XiaoMo's ears because
they are kept outside by Ling Xiao's barrier.

Very quickly, You XiaoMo realizes why they are roaring.

Looks like they were issuing sound waves not to attack them, but to summon their own kind.

Ling Xiao had said that this Shallow Shores is a ten thousand year old abyss. Over a thousand
water demons lie in its depths.
Although the ones here now are really only those of level four and five strengths, no one can
guarantee that there aren't stronger water demons in the Shallow Shores.

A few minutes later, You XiaoMo sees a water demon that is different from the others. Its body is
still transparent but there are dark purple rays coming from within it. If ordinary practitioners were to
see this, they probably have no choice but to run for their lives, because this water demon is actually
a level nine.

Unlike You XiaoMo's look of horror upon seeing this water demon, Ling Xiao expression turns to
joy upon seeing it, his eyes almost shining, "Turns out there really is a magic crystal down there.
This water demon has a level nine cultivation most probably because it absorbed the magic
crystal at the bottom of the abyss."

Magic crystal is something very different from magic water.

Simply put, a magic crystal is almost equivalent to the condensed essence of a million drops of
magic water. Hence, it's clear how precious it is.

However, things like magic crystals are not the same as magic water. Places with magic water may
not necessarily produce magic crystals. The formation of magic crystals requires the right time and
the right place. Just like the magic water in You XiaoMo's dimension, although he has a lake that is
completely made up of extremely pure magic water, it doesn't satisfy the condition of the right time. It
can only be considered man-made so it can't produce magic crystals.

So to put it more accurately, the Shallow Shores is an immense pool of magic water, most probably
a naturally occurring one. Then the master of the Paradise Realm decided to rear water demons in it
so it appears here. Furthermore, because there is ice poison below the magic water, no matter how
attractive it is to men, they can only look at it from afar as it is not something that can be touched
carelessly.

However, the allure of the precious magic crystal is sufficient to drive martial artists and mages
mad with desire. Therefore there are times when even knowing that the danger is greater than the
chance, there still will be people coming to replace the fallen for all kinds of treasures.

Hearing that the water demon had absorbed the magic crystal, You XiaoMo asks hastily, "Elder
brother Ling, we can't be too late ba now that the magic crystal in the abyss has been absorbed
by this water demon?"

If it really is like that, they luck is really too bad. After finally coming across this rare chance of
finding an abyss with a magic crystal, they are actually one step too late.

Ling Xiao says, "This abyss is at least over a few ten thousand years old. There are probably
quite a few magic crystals inside. No matter how capable the water demon, it is impossible for
them to absorb it completely."

You XiaoMo tugs on his clothes repeatedly, "Elder brother Ling, then let's quickly go down and
have a look."

At this moment, that water demon finally starts to act. It raises its head and roars. Its big and sharp
mouth seems like a cannon, as it slowly starts to condense energy into a ball. The power in that
sphere of energy is extremely violent. Everything underwater seems to be affected. Even You
XiaoMo, hiding inside barrier, can feel the shockwaves.

A moment later, the water demon's energy ball is fully formed.

A faint sinister and ferocious ray flashes in the eyes of the water demon as it gives out a deafening
roar and shoots the ball of energy at them.

The naked eye can see the ball of energy speeding towards them. The tremendous power seems to
cut open the water. In a flash, it envelops the barrier surrounding them.

Logically speaking, having such a tremendous amount of energy hitting the barrier, it should at least
shake a little. However, You XiaoMo's wide open eyes can only see that after it hits the barrier, it
very quickly ....... gets absorbed.

That water demon clearly has very high spiritual intelligence. Seeing that its attack is unsuccessful,
and how easily it was neutralized, its pupils widen suddenly. Just as You XiaoMo thinks that it's
going to continue its all out assault, the water demon turns tail and runs off.

That speed, that action, no matter how you look at it, it looks as if it has happened many times
before. You XiaoMo had thought it had so much backbone, and was so awesome, never expecting that
it would run away just like that.

Naturally Ling Xiao chases right after it without saying a word.

The Shallow Shores is very deep. Looking for it will be troublesome. Ling Xiao has always been
someone who likes to get straight to the point.

The water demon is only at level nine, clearly no match for Ling Xiao. He catches up to it in no
time. Seeing the water demon fleeing at top speed, this old fellow appears in front of it with utmost
ease. Stretching out his hand, a formless hand appears outside the barrier. The water demon struggles
with all its might but it is still caught by Ling Xiao's magical hand.

Looking at the water demon struggling non-stop, Ling Xiao smiles at You XiaoMo, "Little brother,
do you have any interest in bonding with a level nine water demon?"

You XiaoMo looks at that water demon and shakes his head vehemently, "I don't want."

Thinking that the water demon was once human, he feels a wave of nausea. Furthermore, the body
of the water demon has the highly contagious ice poison. This plaything sounds very much like the
narcotics that drive men to depravity. Just thinking that this thing will be following him around all the
time makes him have goosebumps.
"That's a real pity."

Ling Xiao sighs.

Not in the least, is what You XiaoMo thinks as he clenches his teeth.

Ling Xiao then smiles at that water demon while saying, "Since little brother doesn't want you,
the only use left for you is to lead the way. Don't try to refuse me oh. Otherwise, I can still find
the magic crystal after I kill you. But I don't want to kill you so be good and listen."

A faint expression of horror flashes across the purplish transparent face. Looks like it can already
imagine what Ling Xiao would do. If it really dares to refuse, it believes that this man in front of it
will definitely kill it without the slightest hesitation. After weighing the pros and cons, the water
demon finally still takes them to the magic crystal.

Not only is the Shallow Shores deep, the underwater world is also vast.

The water demon brings them down for almost five thousand meters before reaching the bottom.
Not long after, an enormous piece of milky white crystal appears before them.

At this point, the water at the bottom is clearly divided into two distinct colors.

The water surrounding the crystal is faintly milky white, enclosing the enormous crystal at the
bottom of the water.

The water demon stops in front of this piece of crystal and actually approaches it of its own
accord. It even stretches out its hand to touch it as if telling them that this piece of crystal is the magic
crystal they are looking for.

Ling Xiao stretches out his hand but stops his hand suddenly just before he touches the 'magic
crystal'. At this time, he beams as he raises his head and looks at the water demon with an extremely
sweet expression. He parts his lips lightly and says, "Are you hoping that I would touch it?"

The expression of the water demon changes abruptly. A fist booms towards the so-called 'magic
crystal'. The 'magic crystal' is unable to withstand the force of the fist. In an instant, a huge chunk of it
splits with a *hong*. The fragments of the 'magic crystal' immediately flies towards Ling Xiao who is
the nearest to it.

But the result is still the same. The moment it gets close to the barrier, it is repelled outwards. Not
the least bit effective.

These things are actually not magic crystals. The IQ of the water demon is so high. There is no way
it would be willing to give away the magic crystal it has been guarding in preparation to ascend in
level. Therefore, it intentionally led them to the crystal formed by ice poison, wanting to deceive
these two people with it. It didn't expect that they would find out.
"Overestimating your own strength." Ling Xiao snorts *hng*, "I gave you a chance, yet you did
not appreciate it. So don't blame me."

Then Ling Xiao flicks his finger. The purple flames that haven't appeared for a long time come to
live once again. It's just that this time the purple flames seem to be not quite the same. There are
traces of other flames in its midst, as if two types of flames are intertwined together. It finally takes
the form of a fire dragon that charges at the water demon.

As soon as the water demon catches sight of the flames, it feels the burning hot temperature
transmitted by the flames, causing its eyes to widen in horror. Finally, it really feels the terror.

Chapter 179

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Battle.The ice poison in the body of water demons looks very awesome, as if no one would be able
to deal with it. But no matter how awesome a water demon, there are still things that it fears, such as
fire.

Naturally normal fire is of not much use to anyone ah. But it's not the same with divine fire. The
temperature of divine level flames seems like it would melt or evaporate anything, including the ice
poison of water demons.

Many years ago, the first water demon died under a divine level flame.

And so water demons are extremely sensitive to fire, especially divine flames. It is enough to wipe
out a whole clan of water demons. Therefore, a water demon would not dare to get close, even a
level nine one wouldn't be able to do it.

The water demon can sense that if these flames were to wrap around its body, it would definitely
die.

The water demon finally feels fear, all thoughts of resistance disappears. This time it really wants
to escape but it already wanted to trick them. Ling Xiao would not let him off again. He is not a
benevolent person and yet he gave it a chance. It's too bad it didn't appreciate it.

Very quickly the purple flames engulf the body of the water demon. The unique divine level flames
emit a red hot temperature as it slowly roasts the screaming water demon. Not long after, the water
demon turns into a ball of ashes and is no more.

Just like that, the most powerful half magic beast of the Shallow Shores is gone. The remaining
water demons no longer have something to bind them. Once the leader is dead, they scatter like sand.

After the death of the water demon, Ling Xiao goes up to that huge piece of ice poison. He brings
his hand down in one swing and that piece of ice poison splits open instantly, breaking into two
halves right down the middle.

You XiaoMo is speechless as he looks at him. This fellow is simply not afraid of ice poison.
Before he was only playing with that water demon. Obviously his despicable nature can never be
changed. However, his attention is very quickly diverted to the split in the ice poison.

A burst of magical blue light radiates from the split surface of the ice poison.

The blue light shines at the bottom turning the water a deep blue. Magical and beautiful.

This burst of blue light is coming from a ball of blue liquid under the ice poison. Very quickly, You
XiaoMo senses a concentrated burst of ultimate spiritual energy. Taking in a breath, his whole body
feels lighter instantly, filled with energy.

"This is the magic crystal?"

You XiaoMo stretches his head out to look at the ice blue liquid covered by the ice poison. If
examined closely, one would discover that under this ice blue liquid, the glimmering rays of the
crystal is faintly visible.

Ling Xiao simply gets rid of the ice poison surrounding it and finally reveals the true face of the
magic crystal.

Magic crystal is the epitome of crystals. Its value defies the heavens.

No matter if it's a martial artist or a mage, especially one of imperial level and above, as long as
they hold a small piece of magic crystal in their hand as they cultivate, the results would be twice as
good with half the effort. Rather than slowly taking in the spiritual energy from heaven and earth, it is
many times more effective because a magic crystal the size of a small child's fist holds an incredible
amount of spiritual power.

Right now, this piece of magic crystal in the depths of the Shallow Shores is the size of a soccer
ball. Looks small but the amount of power is already considered not little. For a ten thousand year old
abyss to have a magic crystal is already considered a good thing.

Ling Xiao fishes out a complete piece of magic crystal from the ice blue liquid.

Careful examination reveals that the liquid is actually milky white. It's just that the magic crystal
appears blue so the light it shines on the liquid turns it ice blue.

You XiaoMo can't wait to pick up the magic crystal from Ling Xiao's hand.

Although the water demon depended on this piece of magic crystal to breakthrough to level nine
successfully, because it didn't absorb the power of the magic crystal directly, this piece of magic
crystal did not lose much of its power. Otherwise, that water demon would not be of only level nine
cultivation.

After obtaining the magic crystal, the two of them leave the Shallow Shores.

Because of the death of their leader, the remaining water demons don't dare to stop them.

And so, the most precious treasure under the Shallow Shores was easily taken away by them just
like that.

After coming out of the water, the Shallow Shore regains its clear and calm appearance once again.
You XiaoMo lowers his head to take a look. There is no trace of that group. They probably realize
how powerful Ling Xiao is so they dare not appear again.
After not catching sight of water demons, You XiaoMo can't help letting out a sigh of relief. If not,
everytime he sees one, he would inevitably think of their former selves. The road of cultivation is
really incomparably ruthless.

"Roar!!!"

Right at this moment, the earth and heavens shake suddenly.

A few seconds later another angry roar rings out followed by another sudden roar. The roars are
mixed with faint spiritual assaults. Wave after wave coming from deep inside the thick forest
surrounding the Shallow Shores.

Before You XiaoMo can settle his nerves, another angry roar comes from deep inside the thick
forest. Except this time, it is from a different magic beast.

Rays of glee shoot out from Ling Xiao's eyes as he says in utter delight, "There are actually two
level nine magic beasts fighting. Looks like our luck is not too bad."

Just as Ling Xiao said, there really are two level nine magic beasts battling. By the time they get
there, the two magic beasts have already fought until there are rivers of blood, their blood and also
the blood of the small and weak animals that they affected. The scene is really too horrible to look at.
If it continues, they would probably destroy the whole forest.

"Ng? It's a six-winged divine tiger and a dead soul beast. High level magic beasts."

Ling Xiao says rather thoughtfully.

Hearing these names, You XiaoMo feels they are very unfamiliar. Only after thinking it over for a
while does he remember that these two types of magic beasts are magic beasts of ancient times of
rather high strength and potential. Magic beasts from ancient times seem to have disappeared from
Long Xiao continent. It's unclear if they are extinct or they just left. How unexpected for them to
appear in the Paradise Realm.

It's unclear why these two magic beasts came to blows. Furthermore they seem to be determined to
battle to the end.

But from the situation on the battlefield, it looks like the six-winged divine tiger is at a
disadvantage. She received a very heavy injury especially in the abdomen. The blood seems to
flowing non-stop. The spot where she is standing looks like it would soon turn into a pond of blood.

In front of her, that dead soul beast does not have as serious an injury. His pair of green eyes are
fixed on the six-winged divine tiger, looking extremely greedy.

The six-winged divine tiger roars at him furiously. Her eyes are firm and tenacious as if it won't
give up no matter the circumstances. She seems to be guarding something.

Very quickly, You XiaoMo catches sight of what the six-winged divine tiger is guarding. It's a
newly born baby six-winged divine tiger. Even its eyes have yet to open. Looks like the dead soul
beast is aiming for this baby divine tiger. No wonder the six-winged divine tiger is so furious. If
someone targets his child, he also would not let the other party go.

However, the six-winged divine tiger is clearly not a match for the dead soul beast. Although both
of them are level nine, the level is not the same. The six-winged divine tiger is level nine three stars.
The dead soul beast is level nine five stars. A difference of almost two stars.

"That six-winged divine tiger won't be able to hold on much longer."

Ling Xiao says suddenly.

After his words, that dead soul beast launches another sneak attack. The soul beast is cunning. Even
though he is stronger, he still won't engage in a just and honorable battle in the open. This is also the
reason why he received less serious injuries.

Although the six-winged divine tiger has the heart, she is powerless. After the successful sneak
attack, her body crashes to the ground. Although she is already out of energy, her eyes still carry a
look of extreme unwillingness.

The greediness is apparent on the dead soul beast as he slowly walks towards the baby six-winged
divine tiger. He then opens its wide bloody mouth. Just as he is about to eat up the baby six-winged
divine tiger, a joking voice suddenly reaches it from above its head.

"Six-winged divine tigers are so delicious?"

The dead soul beast is stunned. This person could actually appear near him without warning.
Furthermore, he did not detect him at all. There can only be one reason for this. This person must be
stronger. Is it a high level magic beast?

Not caring if that's the case, the dead soul beast lifts up its legs and runs. It's not that he is a good
for nothing coward. The other party is stronger and he also just fought with the six-winged divine
tiger. If he has to continue fighting, the one to die would be himself.

"Running away?"

Ling Xiao snorts lightly and reaches his hand out and seizes. It looked as if an invisible hand very
quickly grabbed hold of the dead soul beast and pulled it back.

When the dead soul beast falls to ground, he immediately adopts a defensive pose and looks warily
at Ling Xiao, "Who are you?"

The dead soul beast stares at Ling Xiao in surprise and bewilderment, while calculating in his
heart. He really hasn't seen this person before in Demon Peak. Could it be that he is not a magic beast
from Demon Peak? Even if he isn't, it is impossible for someone as amazing as himself to not have
heard of him.
Ling Xiao strokes his chin, pondering for a bit before saying, "Who I am is not important. What
is important is that I will give you one chance to save your life. In a while, there should be group
of people coming up the mountain. When that time comes, go find TianXin sect's Fu ZiLin. He
is a mage. After bonding with him, I will leave you a horse, how about it?"

Since Fu ZiLin will soon breakthrough to level four, if this dead soul beast is willing to cooperate,
his soul force should be enough to conclude the bond.

He originally wanted You XiaoMo to bond with this soul beast. But he is too ruthless, too
deceitful. Ling Xiao feels that the soul beast does not suit You XiaoMo so he forced him to bond with
Fu ZiLin. This way, they can avoid the danger of them getting found out.

"You want me to voluntarily bond with a mage?"

Says the stunned dead soul beast.

Ling Xiao's eyes narrow, "What is it? Are you not willing?"

When he speaks, an immense pressure stemming from the bloodline crushes on the body of soul
beast like a huge mountain.

The expression of the soul beast changes abruptly as he says in terror, "An ....... an emperor
magic beast?"

He finally understands why this man felt very dangerous right from the start. He is actually an
emperor magic beast, and one that has matured for a very long time at that. His strength is probably
higher than the master of the Paradise Realm. Someone this strong can't possibly be trapped inside the
Paradise Realm.

Knowing that he is possibly an emperor magic beast, the soul beast gives up all hope of resistance.
Someone this strong could very easily track him down, so even if he doesn't want to accept the
condition, he can only accept it.

"Enough. Your answer ne?"

Ling Xiao doesn't give him time to think of East and West.

The soul beast smiles bitterly while saying, "Yes!"

How unexpected that one moment of greed would actually result in this kind of downfall. If he had
known of this outcome earlier, he would not have, under any means, come to the territory of the six-
winged divine tiger.

You XiaoMo looks at Ling Xiao in adoration, especially when he heard him let the soul beast go
find Second brother of his own accord. He could even think of such a good method. This fellow is
actually so shameless ya!
Only after the soul beast leaves, do they go down to check on that level nine six-winged divine
tiger. Unfortunately the mother divine tiger is already dead.

Before leaving, Ling Xiao digs out the core of the mother divine tiger. He then puts that baby divine
tiger who has yet to open its eyes into his dimension. Magic beast cores are valuable things,
especially to those of the same clan. If absorbed by the baby divine tiger, it would very quickly skip
over its immature phase and enter straight into its mature stage.

After finishing all that, the two of them finally set off towards their final goal.

Not long after, an immense towering palace full of majestic splendor appears in front of them.

The palace stands all alone at the apex of Demon peak. It's unclear what it is made of but the whole
palace would emit bursts of piercingly cold silver rays from time to time. Even though the master is
no longer here, the imposing presence of the palace can still be felt.

However, the strangest thing is that the palace gates are wide open with only two guards standing
outside.

The guards are obviously not real guards. Instead they are made out of a silver-colored material.
They look like puppets, seven meters tall with an iron lance in their hands, standing with awe-
inspiring presence at the palace gate.

You XiaoMo stands in front of one of the guards and lets out a heartfelt sigh in his heart. If not for
the guard's completely silver face, he would have thought that it is a real human, despite the
extraordinary height.

Right at this moment, a red flash of light appears in the wooden eyes of the guard.

Before he could react, the iron lance in the hand of the guard points straight at the spot where he
was just standing. You XiaoMo's jaws drop open as he stares speechlessly at the guard as it turns its
enormous body. A mechanical voice rings in his ear.

"Palace trespasser, die!"

Notes:leave you a horse - let you off

think of East and West - think too much

Chapter 180

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Palace Statue.Just as they were charging into the palace, TianXin sect and the other forces were
experiencing a thousand sufferings and ten thousand hardships, finally breaking through the Death
Valley.

Because there is only one road to ascend Demon Peak, the few sects couldn't avoid coming across
each other. Luckily everyone's goal is the palace on the peak of the mountain. Hence, there were no
bloody incidents. Everyone seems to go their own way with very little interaction.

When they came, TianXin sect had forty to fifty people altogether. But now, all the disciples
including the few Elders do not even add up to thirty people. Some of them even sustained very
serious injuries. In order to not let them hold the others back, the heavily injured disciples do not set
off with them to ascend the mountain. Therefore, the number of people going up the mountain is now
about twenty.

Since it is already like this for TianXin sect, the other forces can't possibly be spared.

Among them, the one that lost the most people is Xing Luo group. They were already few in
number. After Ling Xiao killed off close to ten of them, their number immediately dropped by half.
However, Qing Cheng sect also lost quite a few disciples. Furthermore, one of their prominent
members is dead, Ye Dan.

In the beginning, Luo ShuHe still thought that Ye Dan was held up by some matter so he didn't make
it in time to meet up with them, just like Elder Li. Only later did he find out that Ye Dan is already
dead, and the ones who killed him were the disciples of TianXin sect.

Even though he knows that the perpetrators are from TianXin sect, Luo ShuHe doesn't let Qing
Cheng sect disciples engage in an endless battle with TianXin sect. That's because sooner or later,
Qing Cheng sect will go looking for them to settle this debt of blood. It's only a question of time.

However, certain observant people discovered that when Qing Cheng sect disciples look towards
TianXin sect, veiled but determined looks of killing intent are hidden in their eyes. These observant
persons are none other than Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin.

They had planned on going up the mountain together with TianXin sect but unfortunately, because
they lack combat ability, and because Tang YunQi went against time at every turn, after charging
through Death Valley, they were left behind by TianXin sect at the foot of the mountain with the
disciples who sustained injuries from the struggle in Death Valley.

The result is easily predicted. The soul beast couldn't find Fu ZiLin among that group of people
ascending the mountain so he had no choice but to personally make his way down the mountain to
look for him.
Luckily they didn't leave the boundary of Demon Peak. Otherwise, that soul beast, no matter how
awesome he is, wouldn't be able to descend from Demon Peak to bond with Fu ZiLin.

He is most probably the most pitiful magic beast throughout all of history. Other magic beasts are
found when martial artists and mages come up to their door. On the other hand, he actually has to go
find a mage to bond with out of his own accord. Can there be any other magic beast more pitiful than
him?

Back to You XiaoMo, it looks like the guard is going to poke a hole through his body, but no matter
how strong those two guards are, they are no match for Ling Xiao.

But he still can't benefit those that come after, so Ling Xiao doesn't just turn them into a pile of
scrap metal. Instead, he picks up You XiaoMo and charges right into the palace. The two guards fail
to find their target so they stop their attacks and turn back into stone statues.

Just as the two men enter into the palace, the grand doors of the palace suddenly close with a
*peng*.

The grand doors cut off the rays shining in from outside. However, the palace seems to be built of
some special material. The surface emits bursts of light rays. Although it is not very bright, it is
enough to see clearly.

The great hall is extremely capacious. In it, the thing that stands out the most is the pillars made out
of a type of white colored stone because there is a candelabra next to each of these pillars. There are
three green candles on each candelabra. Not five seconds after the doors closed, these candles light
up with a *hong*.

In an instant the entire great hall is painted a dreary green. The bleak and shadowy great hall looks
as if ghosts and goblins would come out at any time.

You XiaoMo feels like mocking the master of this palace for his exquisite taste. What's up with the
green candles? This is the first time he has seen green candles. Turning such a nice palace into a
veritable haunted house.

"Elder brother Ling, this place is so creepy. Do you think there are ghosts?"

You XiaoMo asks as he tries desperately to rub away his goosebumps while his teeth are
chattering.

Ling Xiao lowers his head and looks at him in amusement, "Whether there are ghosts, I don't
know. Whether there are people up to some tricks, that I do know."

Right! The one playing tricks must be the master of the palace, a practitioner that takes absolute
delight in the perverse.

However, he can't say if there are ghosts in this world. If it was 21st century Earth, he would have
to say they do exist rather than not. But he feels that in this dimension, even if there are ghosts, they
would be the ones to fear humans.

The two of them walk further in, right until the end. Finally they catch sight of a humongous statue.

There are ten stone platforms lined up neatly in front of the statue. There seems to be something on
each platform but there is an orb of light enveloping the objects, making it impossible to make out
what is inside.

Ling Xiao says, "These things should be the treasures of the palace."

You XiaoMo's eyes light up, "Then ....... can we take it?"

Ling Xiao looks at him with eyes full of laughter, "You go try ah."

You XiaoMo's heart thumps, the foot he had just stretched forward is immediately withdrawn, "It's
better if you go ba."

Ling Xiao mocks him, "Little coward."

You XiaoMo grumbles softly, "This is clearly called being cautious!"

One look and you can tell that there is a problem with those orbs of light. He is not stupid so why
would he run over there foolishly?

His intuition is right. Those treasures look as if they can be obtained as easily as spitting on one's
hand but it is actually a trap.

Just a few seconds after Ling Xiao walks over, the few ordinary looking red candles in front of the
statue suddenly light up. The bright red light push the green rays of light from the green candles
outside and envelops the two of them.

At the same moment, the eyes of the statue suddenly open, shining like two gems. The blood red
rays make it seem extremely demonic, with glinting blood red.

An ancient sounding hoarse voice is heard. It seems to have lived through times long enough for
blue seas to turn into mulberry fields. It is both ice cold yet indifferent, slowly ringing out in the grand
hall.

"Since you have come up to here, it must mean you have the destiny. If you want the treasures
you must pass my test."

As the voice speaks, the ten orbs of light on the stone platforms immediately float upwards,
revealing the things inside. Ten altogether. If these were to leak out, it most probably would cause all
of the big sects to fight over them. When that time comes, there will be rivers of blood.

Looking at just one of those things, You XiaoMo's saliva already covers the whole floor.
The first stone platform, the treasure inside the orb of light is a stalk of magic herb that is not low
level. A preliminary estimate would place it above that of the Emperor's Blood herb.

The second stone platform holds a volume of martial art techniques. On top is written in gleaming
letters ------- High Level Purple Cloud Wing martial art technique.

The third stone platform holds a magic pill. Its level must be not low for it to be displayed inside
the palace.

The fourth stone platform holds an egg. It's not clear what kind of egg it is.

The fifth stone platform holds a bunch of seeds of every color. They seem to be a variety of seeds.

The sixth stone platform is also a volume of techniques. Not for martial artists but targeted at the
soul force instead. A volume of high level soul force technique.

.......

The tenth stone platform. You XiaoMo strains his eyes as wide as he can and finally makes out the
words written on the scroll ------- High Level Magic Pill Recipe!

The two eyeballs almost fall out. There's actually a high level magic pill recipe in this place?

You XiaoMo immediately becomes excited. He tugs at Ling Xiao with saliva dripping right onto
the floor, "Elder brother Ling, quick go take the test. The last one is a good treasure ah!"

Ling Xiao glances at him, "You only want the last one?"

You XiaoMo wipes the corner of his mouth, " ....... actually I want all of them."

Ling Xiao shows a 'I knew you were going to say that' expression, "The master of the palace
won't be so kind."

You XiaoMo says, "It doesn't matter, we can just take them by force."

Ling Xiao laughs as he says, "You are clearly acting like a bandit."

You XiaoMo refutes indignantly, "Nonsense, I just don't want the treasures to lie here all by
themselves in this ice cold palace, that's all."

Ling Xiao pushes him forward a step, "Then you go ah."

You XiaoMo immediately retreats back, "It's still better if you to go ba."

He still feels that there is something up with that statue.

At this time, the statue seems to have become impatient from waiting. It opens its mouth without
waiting for them to choose. Again, the hoarse voice, "My test is for you to kill your companion.
Then all the treasures here will be yours."

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

Ling Xiao laughs sinisterly, "Little brother, what should we do? He wants me to kill you."

You XiaoMo turns away, "We don't want it anymore."

Ling Xiao roars with laughter, "Just like this and you don't want it anymore? Really?"

You XiaoMo turns his head and looks at him with grief, "I can't kill you."

Just as he speaks those words, *dong* is heard. He was rapped on his forehead again.

You XiaoMo looks at him with tears whirling in his eyes. Why did this person hit him on the
forehead again?"

Ling Xiao mocks him, "At least you know your limitations, but, are you not afraid that I would
kill you?"

You XiaoMo's fierce manner evaporates, leaving him smacking his lips. He purses his lips as he
says, "Your strength is higher than the palace master. And you're also not a mage. What the hell
would you need these for?"

Ling Xiao can no longer stand his stupidity, saying, "Idiot, one look and you can see that it's a
trap. And you actually think it is real. Look and see what is under our feet."

You XiaoMo looks down, isn't it just floorboards? Stealing a glance at Ling Xiao, he sees him
smiling gently at him. His neck shrinks, alright ba, there seems to be some kind of formations drawn?
"What is the meaning of this?"

Ling Xiao says darkly, "You think the treasures on the stone platforms are so easy to get? The
palace master is only trying to use the greed of men. When this area is completely splashed with
blood, the formations on the floor will activate. At that time, probably no one would be able to
escape."

You XiaoMo swallows repeatedly. This time he really received a scare.

Chapter 181

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Captured.Ling Xiao says it all very clearly in front of the statue.

If the one here today is not him, but Luo ShuHe and those people, there would probably be a
massacre over those treasures. It's too bad the statue finds itself with the wrong people this time
around.

The statue that doesn't receive an answer after a long time orders one word, "Kill!"

Then the glinting blood red eyes of the statue suddenly shoot forth two rays of red light. The red
light shoots right at where they were standing before but it doesn't pierce through the floor. It seems
like the statue can't wait for them to kill each other so it decided to act.

Ling Xiao hugs You XiaoMo and dodges the statue's attack. He laughs coldly, "Finally can't wait
any longer?"

The statue's reaction is to continue attacking. At the same time, sounds can be heard coming from
deep in the palace *ka da ka da*. In the midst of the ghastly green light, a group of puppets that look
exactly like the guards outside slowly emerge. If there's a difference, it would be the aura.

The strength of these puppets are higher than the two guards outside by quite a bit. The weakest one
is actually Moon level. And it looks like it's not just a few, emerging continuously from deep in the
palace. At least a hundred.

You XiaoMo jumps in fright, "This seems a little too showy."

He finally understands the traps Ling Xiao mentioned. There are actually so many puppets hidden
in the palace. If it was TianXin sect and the other forces, they would probably be unable to cope and
suffer a terrible beating, akin to losing one's army even after giving away the bride.

It's just that there is something he doesn't understand. Since it is a trap, why do they still come up,
fully aware of the dangers? It can't be that the stone platforms are that enticing to them, making them
willing to forfeit their lives?

Ling Xiao thrusts his palm forward and the wind immediately crushes ten of the puppets into bits
and pieces.

But the puppets are after all without intelligence and without life. They don't know tiredness. They
don't know pain. They only know how to attack blindly, only stopping when they can no longer move
an inch.

Because Ling Xiao knows this, he doesn't hold back. Right away he turns them to powder. The
floor is very quickly covered with layer upon layer of fine powder, really crushed to the extreme.

The 'eyes' see that the puppets are being crushed to pieces, making the statue furious.

After getting infuriated, it stands up. In an instant it is standing from its original crosslegged
position.

Its huge hand swipes down forcefully at their heads, with a force that wants to flatten them. But it
comes up empty again, leaving the floor shaking but not split open.

Ling Xiao's brow twitches. He sees the intact formation on the floor from the corner of his eye and
his lips curve up suddenly. He thrusts out his palm and burning hot flames condense into a fiery ball
and slams onto the floor causing it to rumble *hong long long*. The intact floor is finally completely
ruined, exposing a huge hole in the floor.

Naturally the explosive sound does not escape the sects that have come up one third of the way.
They can even feel the ground beneath their feet vibrating. Everyone's expressions change instantly.

Luo ShuHe exclaims in shock, "What is the meaning of this? Did someone actually beat us
there?"

It's not just Luo ShuHe. The people from the other forces also have the same stunned expression.
While guessing in their hearts who beat them to it, they quicken their steps, lest the treasures are all
wiped clean by the first to arrive.

It's too bad that no matter how quickly they move, it won't be of any use. They haven't even passed
the Shallow Shores. If the water demons want to stop them, even if they were given speedy wings, it
would be of no use.

"A guy that only knows how to use brute force won't have a peaceful reincarnation!"

Ling Xiao dodges the statue's fist as it comes down on his head. He then delivers You XiaoMo to a
safe spot and brings out Xiao Hei from the dimension to guard him at his side.

You XiaoMo hugs Xiao Hei that is in his original form and pops his head out from behind the pillar
before lowering his head to whisper to Xiao Hei.

"Xiao Hei, do you think Elder brother Ling will be able to swipe all ten treasures?"

Xiao Hei rolls his eyes at him. How can a mere soul remnant be the great leader's match?

You XiaoMo pretends he doesn't see it. Suddenly the corner of his eye catches sight that the ten
treasures have fallen onto the stone platforms. Those orbs of light have also vanished. He can't help
but suggest, "Xiao Hei, how about we go over there while they are fighting ....... "

Before he could finish saying, with a *hong*, Ling Xiao's fist smashes the entire statue. Stone chips
fly in every direction. A red soul flies out from the pieces of the statue. Before it could escape, it is
engulfed by a ball of flames, turning into ashes.

A ghostlike voice suddenly cries out. The sound is so deafening that it hurts the eardrums. It seems
to come from the depths of the palace. It is followed by an infuriated voice that is different from the
hoarse one before, "You actually dare to destroy my spirit double. You deserve to die. I will make
you pay the price!"

The voice howls in crazed anger, shaking the whole palace .......

Ling Xiao ignores the owner of that voice and moves to the stone platforms in a flash, using the
time to put the treasures directly into his dimension.

The owner of the soul remnant does not plan on letting him go just like that. After a few piercing
screams, all the green candles go out with a *xiu*.

A gust of spine-chilling cold wind envelops the whole palace in an instant.

"Xiao Hei, don't touch me."

You XiaoMo suddenly feels a rush of cold air rising from his feet. He then feels something touch
his arm. He thinks it's Xiao Hei who is standing by his side so he says that without turning his head.

Xiao Hei rolls his eyes at him, "When did I touch you?"

"Just now ah. If not you ....... " You XiaoMo turns his head, before he can say "who", a faintly
glowing pale green face suddenly appears in front of him. At the moment, the face is looking at him
expressionlessly, "Ghost ah!!!"

You XiaoMo screams out wildly.

This fellow feints to the east and attacks from the west. Because Xiao Hei's strength is not a match
for the other party, and the other party also seems to practice some deviant combat techniques, by the
time Xiao Hei reacts, You XiaoMo already disappeared, taken away by that lingering soul fragment
right in front of his face.

When You XiaoMo's smell disappeared from the grand hall, Ling Xiao seems to have sensed it
immediately. He appears a second later where they were hiding behind the pillar and sees that only a
certain magic beast remains. Ling Xiao glances at Xiao Hei wordlessly.

Xiao Hei hangs his head in shame. He knows he is wrong. If he had known, he would have dragged
Master into his dimension at all costs.

Speaking of You XiaoMo who was taken away by the soul remnant, one man and one ghost very
quickly appear in a certain corner of the palace.

This is a stone room that is not much smaller than the great hall. An enormous pool of blood is
placed right in front. A human figure is soaking in the middle of the pool of blood. The face of the
human figure resembles that of the lingering soul remnant.

The soul remnant lifts up You XiaoMo and walks up to the pool of blood. He raises his arms and
without a moment of hesitation, tosses You XiaoMo into the pool of blood .......

You XiaoMo is terrified leaving his whole body in cold sweat. Just when he is about to fall into the
pool of blood, the person disappears in an instant.

The pale green pupils of the soul remnant contracts as its extremely hoarse voice is heard once
more, mixed with a trace of incredulity, "Dimension?"

The green pupils move about determinedly, rapidly scanning all four corners of the blood pool. It's
too bad since he wasn't able to refine a genuine dimension while he was alive, how can he possibly
discover You XiaoMo's high level dimension now that he is dead?

When he was searching, You XiaoMo already manipulated his dimension to leave the stone room.

The stone room made him feel too oppressed, as if it was some sort of sacrificial chamber.
Especially that pool of blood. The stench of blood is unbelievably strong. Furthermore, it seems as if
its not just the blood of human practitioners, it looks like even a good many different magic beasts
were thrown in there.

However, in order to leave the stone room, You XiaoMo depleted his soul force in an instant. He is
now a level four mage but the most he can manipulate his dimension is about two hundred meters.
Anymore and he would overuse his soul force.

Because the speed of the soul remnant was too fast before, You XiaoMo has no idea where he is in
the palace. He has no choice but to drink magic water while looking for a way out.

Just as he is wandering around in confusion, Ling Xiao already reached with stone room with Xiao
Hei. Although he doesn't see You XiaoMo, he knows that You XiaoMo is already out of danger.

Naturally the soul remnant didn't expect that his lair would be so easily found by the other party.

The two sides go all out. This time, Ling Xiao no longer stays his hand. He simply smashes the
pool of blood which is also the real embodiment of the soul remnant into bits. The pool of blood that
has been nurtured for over a thousand years is no more just like that.

Negative emotions pour out from the body of the soul remnant, like an enormous black hole. At this
time, all the other spirit doubles distributed throughout the palace are called back to replenish the
soul remnant. Not long after, an almost complete soul appears in front of Ling Xiao .......

You XiaoMo, who is completely unaware of the showdown happening in the stone room is
controlling his dimension to take a few halting steps at a time, moving forward in small spurts. He
really wants to leave his dimension but he is afraid that that ghost soul would suddenly appear in front
of him and cause him to piss in his pants.
When it's quiet all around, with not a sound to be heard, You XiaoMo finally comes out of his
dimension.

This is a very long and wide corridor. At one glance, it seems that the end of the corridor is not
visible. On both sides are loft-like stone rooms. Some of them have no doors at all, making it
possible to walk right in. Others have doors that are tightly closed.

Chapter 182

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

The collapse of Demon Peak.You XiaoMo stands outside those wide open doorways and examines
the lofts. He discovers that these lofts seem to be where martial artists practice. Some lofts are so
simple and bare that there is only a bed. Some of the floors are in a complete mess with scattered
weapons and combat techniques.

In order to pass off as a qualified treasure hunter, You XiaoMo prepares a magic bag and collects
everything in the lofts, good and bad. He then moves on to the next loft. As for the tightly closed stone
rooms, he doesn't dare to touch them for now. Who knows if some living thing might suddenly rush out
from inside.

Just when You XiaoMo finishes clearing out the tenth loft, he suddenly catches a whiff of medicinal
fragrance.

The medicinal fragrance is extremely strong, continuously diffusing out from the neighboring stone
room.

You XiaoMo walks up to the stone room and looks at the tightly shut stone door. The stone door
looks as if it hasn't been opened for a really long time, with green moss growing on top of it. Can it be
that this stone room is where magic herbs are stored?

No matter what the answer is, the presence of medicinal fragrance means that there must be magic
herbs inside.

You XiaoMo rolls up his sleeves immediately and exerts all his strength. *ge zhi*, the door finally
opens a tiny crack. At this moment, the medicinal fragrance emitted from the magic herbs immediately
rush out from the cracked door. Breathing it in invigorates the soul.

After half of an quarter hour later, the stone door is finally pushed by him enough to reveal a gap
that is just enough for his body to enter.

After forcing his way into the stone room, panting and wheezing, and seeing the magic herb fields
filling the room, he feels that it was all worth it.

This place is even more spacious than the great hall. Actually it can't be considered a stone room
because this is like a miniature world. Above is not a ceiling but an expanse of blue sky. The floor is
covered with magic herb fields. There are those that have matured, those that have yet to mature, and
some that are even just germinating.

Most are low level magic herbs, followed by mid-level magic herbs, and finally the high level
magic herbs.
What is rather disheartening is that there aren't many high level magic herbs. By the time You
XiaoMo finds them, he only sees a small patch of high level magic herbs lying pitifully in a corner. At
a glance, it's definitely not more than a hundred stalks.

You XiaoMo laments as he moves all the high level magic herbs into his dimension.

At this time, Luo ShuHe and the rest finally reach the peak of the mountain after enduring a
thousand sufferings and ten thousand hardships. If Ling Xiao had not dealt with that level nine water
demon, they would probably be even slower.

But what greets them is a great hall that is already riddled with a thousand wounds and a hundred
holes.

Luo ShuHe's expression is extremely unsightly, "Sure enough, someone beat us here."

It's just that the extent of destruction of the great hall exceeds his expectation. He had thought that
even if someone would beat him to it, their strength wouldn't be high enough to charge past the guards.
He didn't expect the other party's strength to be even higher than he imagined.

The other forces also arrive. Seeing the condition of the great hall, their reactions mirror that of
Luo ShuHe.

At this moment, Qing Cheng sect's Elder Mo shrewdly notices that TianXin sect's Lin Xiao is not
here. He whispers into Luo ShuHe's ear to inform him.

Luo ShuHe looks over to TianXin sect's location and, true enough, does not see Lin Xiao. He can't
help but have his suspicions piqued, can it be that the person that beat them here is Lin Xiao?

But it doesn't seem right after thinking it through. Lin Xiao's strength is still Star level two stars.
The Elders of TianXin sect who are stronger are still here. Even if they sent Lin Xiao to go ahead of
them, he can't have caused all this by himself. Furthermore, that little mage that was by his side is also
not here.

Because the condition of the palace is beyond everyone's expectation, the few major forces decide
to put aside their differences for now to discuss how to deal with the current situation.

Luo ShuHe glances at the TianXin sect representative and remarks seemingly offhandedly, "Elder
Shi, why is it that Brother Lin Xiao is not among you? Could it be that you all let him go ahead
ba?"

With his remark, the other people finally notice this bit, all of them turning to look at the rather
gloomy-looking Elder Shi.

Of course Elder Shi can't tell them that TianXin sect did not tell Lin Xiao anything about Demon
Peak. This is an internal matter of TianXin sect. If they were to find out, they could use it against
them. If Lin Xiao finds out, he may act out in retaliation.
"Lin Xiao is held up by some matter. He should be on his way at the moment. Everyone knows
that there are layers upon layers of dangers in the Paradise Realm. No one knows what can
happen. It's only normal that plans change accordingly."

Luo ShuHe pats his sleeve that is a little dirty while laughing, "Looks like Brother Lin Xiao's
luck is not too good!"

Elder Shi narrows his eyes and look at the Qing Cheng sect disciples behind him and says,
"Putting aside Lin Xiao, there doesn't seem to be any sign of the esteemed Ye Dan and Elder Li.
It can't be that they are 'also' held up by some matter ba?"

Luo ShuHe's expression darkens. A hardly detectable murderous intent flashes across his eyes.

Of course Elder Shi doesn't know that Ye Dan is already dead under the hands of Ling Xiao. And
that Qing Cheng sect already knows that the 'murderer' is them. These words are tantamount to a thorn
driven deeply into the hearts of everyone in Qing Cheng sect. Clearly this is not the time for them to
act out. This is probably what's called the highest state of ignorance.

"If you all want to 'reminisce', we XingLuo group will not keep you company."

Looking at the the two or them trading barbs one after the other, the expression on XingLuo group's
Twelfth Star is rather impatient. They already don't get along well with the two major forces. On top
of that, they also have another motive this time so they are even more loathe to collaborate with them.
They then set off by themselves to charge through the barrier.

With the departure of XingLuo group, the other people also feel that there is no need to work
together. They were originally depending on their own strengths so in a flash, Elder Shi also brings
his people with him. The three independent forces follow suit. Only Qing Cheng sect remains in the
great hall.

"Young master, why aren't we taking advantage of the situation to kill off the people from
TianXin sect?" Elder Mo asks in frustration.

Luo ShuHe shakes his head, "Not now. The injuries of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders is too
grave. Although it has recuperated for half a month, it only recovered twenty to thirty percent.
We have few strong ones on our side. If we were to fight now, the other forces will be at an
advantage. Furthermore, TianXin sect, that side seemed to have bonded with a few mid-level
magic beasts. We can't take their combat ability lightly for now."

A dissatisfied disciple speaks up, "Young master, you can't mean to let them go just like that?"

Luo ShuHe scoffs in disdain, "Of course not. Wait till we leave Demon Peak. I will make TianXin
sect pay the price.

It's too bad that man's plans are nothing compared to God's plans. Just as the various major forces
go their separate ways, and prepare to search deep into the palace for treasures, another shockwave
travels through the palace. This time, the frequency of the shaking is much stronger than what they felt
when they were halfway up the mountain. The ground is shaking non-stop, as if it may split open at
any time.

At this time, the magic beasts on Demon Peak also suffer a shock. A few high level magic beasts
are shocked to discover that the barrier that imprisons the Demon Peak seems to have gotten much
thinner than before, as if it could split open at anytime.

"Hou!!!"

An immense and limitless power presses down from the top of Demon Peak downwards.

All the magic beasts look at the palace on the peak in terror. But a second later, they lose all
control over themselves and fall to the ground. Each and every one their faces are bright red with
bulging blue veins. The terror in their hearts can never be eliminated.

This phenomenon doesn't only affect the magic beasts at the foot of the mountain. It also includes
the magic beasts who have been bonded.

Tang YunQi almost falls to the ground. She kicks the Seven-tailed Demon Fox who is crawling on
the ground, "Idiot, what are you doing on the ground? Why are you not hurrying up to protect
me?"

The Seven-tailed Demon Fox is her bonded magic beast. Its strength is level seven one star. It just
had a breakthrough not long ago. If it wasn't because it had just had a breakthrough, it wouldn't have
been caught by Elder Wang and the rest at that time. After that, although it had a smooth breakthrough,
it also lost its freedom. It was bonded by Tang YunQi and it wasn't even a life-bond.

However, no matter how Tang YunQi kicks it, it remains cowering on the ground shivering *se se*.
It's not that it doesn't want to get up, it's because that pressure is too terrifying. It simply can't put up
any resistance.

Lei Ju's level six bonded magic beast is also in the same situation. But he is not as brainless as
Tang YunQi. He can feel that there is an immense pressure. Clearly that roar just now from inside the
palace is terrifying his bonded magic beast.

At the same time, the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders almost falls off Luo ShuHe's shoulder.

Although it is a high level magic beast, under the pressure of an emperor magic beast, he can not
resist.

Very quickly, Luo ShuHe's expression changes drastically as he senses his condition, "What
happened?"

The trembling voice of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders is transmitted into Luo ShuHe's mind,
"It can't be a mistake. That roar just now is definitely from an emperor magic beast. But how
can an emperor magic beast appear on Demon Peak?"

It's as if he is talking to himself but it causes Luo ShuHe to gasp.

Emperor magic beast, none other than one of the royal class. If he could bond with an emperor
magic beast, wouldn't that mean he would be able to march across Long Xiao continent with nothing
to fear? Luo ShuHe can't help feeling a slight twinge of regret at this thought but he very quickly
suppresses it.

He already has a life-bond magic beast so he absolutely can't dream of other magic beasts.

Furthermore, the majesty of emperor magic beasts will not allow them to bond with martial artists,
even a life-bond won't do. Unless there is unbelievable good luck, no martial artists would dare to
dream of emperor magic beasts.

Just as everyone was still in shock, the palace finally collapses.

Not only that, everyone hears a *ka cha* sound, and an extremely deep fissure appears in the
mountain under their feet.

Some people yell out 'not good' as everyone tries to get away. A second later, the fissure starts to
extend downward from the peak, as if someone split it open with brute force. The Demon Peak
barrier is also totally gone.

Each and every magic beast flees from the disaster, striving to be the first to escape down the
mountain.

At this time, You XiaoMo who is still digging magic herbs in the stone room when it also starts
shaking as the ground splits open. Because it happened all of a sudden, in a moment of carelessness, a
few of the roots of the halfway dug out stalk of level seven magic herb in his hand snap, making his
heart ache unbearably. This is a high level magic herb. He still puts it into his dimension anyway.

He had wanted to dig up some mid-level magic herbs but the magic herb stone room is already
starting to crumble. The falling stone fragments smash onto the magic herb fields, flattening the magic
herbs that have been growing for who knows how long.

Before You XiaoMo could feel the pain in his heart, an enormous boulder drops down towards
him, frightening him such that he quickly enters his dimension. Damn, what a reckless waste of
heavenly treasure!

It seems that all the magic beasts in the Paradise Realm are able to sense the collapse of Demon
Peak.

Even the magic beasts that were in the midst of killing and shredding stopped on their own, each
and every one turning to look towards Demon Peak.

As the palace falls down with a loud *hong long* sound, bursts of light streak down from the
mountain peak. Those are martial artists fleeing the disaster. Because of the collapse of Demon Peak,
the restriction on both martial artists and magic beasts disappear. The martial artists who weren't able
to fly earlier all take to their flying swords to flee down the mountain.

However, because Demon Peak is too large, and because everyone is fleeing in a hurry, quite a few
disciples are separated from their group, such as Tang YunQi.

Under the protection of the Seven-tailed Demon Fox, Tang YunQi staggers and stumbles down the
Demon Peak. Although she could have let the Seven-tailed Demon Fox bring along one or two other
people with no problem at all, at the moment of life and death, she only cared about herself.

As a result, as the first one to flee the scene, she finds herself separated from everyone else. When
she reaches the foot of the mountain after much difficulty, the ruins of Demon Peak is all around. An
enormous chunk of the peak blocks the way in front of her, cutting off her line of sight.

Tang YunQi curses the Seven-tailed Demon Fox angrily, "Good for nothing. Quick bring me to
the others."

The Seven-tailed Demon Fox glances at her with suppressed anger. Damn human. Actually daring
to treat it who has the ancient lineage of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox this way. There will inevitably
come a time when you would undoubtedly regret it ten thousand times!

Right at this moment, a yelp of pain comes from behind them.

"Ai yo, damn it ya. Why are there so many sharp rocks over here? I must have landed wrongly!'

"Who is it!"

Tang YunQi is shocked, turning around abruptly. After shouting, she realizes that the voice sounds
rather familiar but that grumbling voice immediately stops. She rushes to the rock to take a look, and
her eyes immediately widen, feeling both astonishment and excitement.

"It's you, You XiaoMo!"

Chapter 183

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Killing intentSeeing You XiaoMo, Tang YunQi naturally searches for Ling Xiao's figure nearby.

But after looking right and left, and discovering that Ling Xiao is nowhere to be found, a strange
expression appears on her pretty face.

Tang YunQi narrows her eyes and looks You XiaoMo up and down before saying bluntly, "Why
are you the only one here? Where did Brother Xiao go?"

You XiaoMo glances at the Seven-tailed Demon Fox at her side. This Seven-tailed Demon Fox
already has all seven tails. Clearly it is already of level seven cultivation. He curses in his heart
'damn it', why is it that he has to come across this devious and unreasonable girl when he is with a
single spear and a single horse? How terrible is his luck ah!

You XiaoMo doesn't dare to say that he doesn't know where Ling Xiao went. Admitting it will only
tell her that he is alone. His eyeballs roll one round as he says, "Elder brother Ling is nearby. He
....... asked me to wait for him here for a bit. Do you want to wait with me for Elder Brother?"

The last sentence is definitely not sincere but he is afraid that Tang YunQi won't believe him.

"Brother Xiao is really nearby?"

Tang YunQi who usually looks as if she has no brains at this moment actually does not show the
usual excitement at wanting to see Ling Xiao. Instead, she doubts You XiaoMo's words. Her not so
shrewd eyes reveal a trace of sharpness, as if she wants to skin You XiaoMo alive.

You XiaoMo gulps, "Of course."

This Tang YunQi, why does it seem that she looks a little different from usual?

Tang YunQi suddenly stretches out her neck, and looks at him pointedly while enunciating every
single word, "You XiaoMo, you're lying to me. Brother Xiao is simply not nearby. You got
separated from Brother Xiao right?"

You XiaoMo's eyes widen. When did this flower vase get so smart? Actually seeing through his lie.

His reaction confirms Tang YunQi's guess. The smug expression abruptly changes as she lets out a
crazed and unrestrained laugh. The pretty face distorts slightly revealing a hideous look. The corner
of her mouth curls up into a sneer, "You XiaoMo. There is also this kind of day for you. Brother
Xiao is not at your side. I'd like to see how you can defend yourself!"

Actually, he does have a way to protect himself. For real!


However, the existence of the dimension must be kept a secret from Tang YunQi at all costs.

However, looking at his current situation, Tang YunQi seems to have something planned for him,
and not a single one of his Qiu team is here by his side. Even the weakest Piqiu was put in Ling
Xiao's dimension .......

"You, don't get any ideas. TianXin sect forbids their disciples from killing each other."

You XiaoMo takes a few steps back hastily.

"Haha, so what?"

Tang YunQi throws her head back and laughs out loud before replying flippantly, "There is only
you and me here. If I kill you, who would know? Even if someone were to see it, do you think my
dad would punish his daughter because of you?"

Of course not!

He is only a puny mage, and one that is involved with Ling Xiao at that.

Now, Tang Fan has already decided to forsake the fake Lin Xiao, Ling Xiao. Naturally, he also
can't wait to see the both of them die.

It's possible that after Tang Fan finds out that Tang YunQi killed him, not only will he not get angry,
he might even praise her.

"Demon fox, finish him off!"

Tang YunQi can't wait for You XiaoMo's answer. In order to avoid a long night fraught with
dreams, she wants You XiaoMo to die right now in front of her. She has had enough of all of this.
Every time she sees that Brother Xiao only has You XiaoMo in his eyes, ignoring her, she feels as if a
knife is stabbing into her heart, making her want to flip out crazily every single time.

This time the father in heaven is finally on her side, letting her come across You XiaoMo when he
is by himself. Not only is Brother Xiao not by his side, even his bonded magic beast is nowhere in
sight. Such an amazing opportunity would even make her laugh out loud in her dreams.

The excitement makes Tang YunQi unable to think of anything else. Therefore, she doesn't consider
why You XiaoMo, who clearly shouldn't appear in this place, is actually here!

The Seven-tailed Demon Fox glances at Tang YunQi darkly.

Although it doesn't know what kind of grievances exist between them, a woman that even wants to
kill a fellow disciple, simply does not deserve to be its bonded one.

But it can't disobey this despicable woman. Otherwise, its bond would rebound and strike it.
Looking at the Seven-tailed Demon Fox advancing towards him step by step, You XiaoMo retreats
with a complicated expression.

You XiaoMo wavers non-stop between revealing or not revealing the existence of the dimension. If
he doesn't escape into his dimension, he will die. If he escapes into his dimension, probably .......
Tang YunQi will die, because Ling Xiao would definitely kill her to silence her.

Choosing between his own death and Tang YunQi's death, You XiaoMo thinks, unless he is a white
lotus flower that is whiter than white, even an idiot would know to choose the latter.

"Wait first! I have something to say."

You XiaoMo hastily stops them.

The Sevel-tailed Demon Fox pauses. This human is a little strange. It turns around and glances at
Tang YunQi.

Although Tang YunQi can't wait for You XiaoMo to die, she is still very happy to see You
XiaoMo's desperate struggles before death. So she grants him his wish, smiling smugly, "I'll give you
an opportunity to have your last confession. If I'm happy, I may even help you convey them to
Brother Xiao."

You XiaoMo looks at her with her 'big show of mercy' expression and feels a little peeved. This
hateful girl. Who says he wants to confess?

"Junior sister Tang, I still think it's better for you to run away. What I just said is the truth.
Elder brother Ling will be here very soon. If he finds out that you want to kill me, he would
really kill you."

After saying these words, You XiaoMo feels that he has really become a fast-talker. Clearly he has
been hanging around Ling Xiao for too long, causing him to be infected with his deceitful nature.

"Shut up!"

Tang YunQi's face darkens instantly as she glares at him, "You XiaoMo, do you know what part of
you I hate the most? It's precisely your self-righteous attitude. What makes you think that
Brother Xiao would do all that he can for you? Who do you think you are? I have known
Brother Xiao for almost ten years. As for you ne, not even a year. What makes you think that
Brother Xiao is yours? Tell me, what makes you think so ah!!"

Speaking up to here, Tang YunQi is almost screaming hysterically. Green rays are shooting out of
her eyes as she glares at You XiaoMo with murderous intent.

Actually, You XiaoMo also really wants to know, but after thinking here and there, he can only
come up with one conclusion.
It's because he knows that Ling Xiao is not the real Lin Xiao. He knows Ling Xiao's secret and
Ling Xiao also knows his secret.

But he can't say that. He can only say that love is blind!

"If that is what you want to say, then you can go and die now. Demon fox, kill him!"

After yelling, Tang YunQi finally regains her balance, smugly ordering the Seven-tailed Demon
Fox.

The Seven-tailed Demon Fox looks fixedly at You XiaoMo. This time, it no longer hesitates. It
spits out a fiery red ball of flames. The red ball of flames contain an enormous amount of destructive
energy, flying swiftly towards You XiaoMo.

When it seems as if the only choice left is to expose the existence of the dimension, a black shadow
appears in front of You XiaoMo just as he is about to enter his dimension. Not only does the ball of
flames get blocked, it is actually sent flying back.

The Seven-tailed Demon Fox completely doesn't expect that someone would block its move and
almost gets hit by his own attack in a moment of inattention. Although it manages to avoid the majority
of the impact, a few patches of its white fur that covers its whole body gets singed black. Luckily, he
didn't go all out before because he saw that You XiaoMo is only a puny mage. This is what's called
karma ba!

"Sheqiu? So happy to see you."

You XiaoMo gets a clearer look at his helping hand and is overjoyed and excited. He almost forgot
that before they climbed up Demon Peak, Ling Xiao left Sheqiu in Death Valley. And now that
something happened to Demon Peak, Sheqiu who just happened to be at the foot of the mountain
would be in the safest position.

Sheqiu -_-||, "If you don't call me Sheqiu, I too would be very happy to see you."

You XiaoMo laughs while saying, "Clearly Sheqiu is a very nice sounding name ma"

"Who are you? Why are you meddling in our business?"

At this time, Tang YunQi who was neglected by them at one side finally reacts. Her voice which
used to be very sweet turns shrill and sharp. If not for her pretty face, if you just listened to her voice,
you would think that it belonged to a heinous woman.

Sheqiu scoffs coldly. He really hates narcissistic women, "Hateful woman, if I hear that grating
voice of yours again, I will cut off your tongue."

Tang YunQi had long lost her cool. Hearing his words, she suddenly can't conceal the fury on her
face. Seeing that You XiaoMo was so close to dying in front of her before this Cheng YaoJin rushed
out of nowhere, her heart can't help feeling vexed and impatient. Pointing at Sheqiu and You XiaoMo,
her lips quiver as she says, "Seven-tailed Demon Fox, go ....... eat up the both of them. Don't
leave an intact corpse!"

Who would expect that the Seven-tailed Demon Fox, that had just listened to her obediently before,
would not react at all in response to her order. Seeing that the Seven-tailed Demon Fox remains
motionless for a while, Tang YunQi glowers at it, "Useless thing, did you not hear me tell you to
eat them?"

Hearing her call him a useless thing, the Seven-tailed Demon Fox lowers its eyes, "Master, I can't
beat him."

Tang YunQi seems to have been provoked. Her eyes open wide instantly as she vents her fury at it,
as if trying to cover up her panic and confusion, "You're worthless. Aren't you a Seven-tailed
Demon Fox? How can you not even beat a human? Get over there right now and eat them. I
order you!"

The enormous body of the Seven-tailed Demon Fox shudders abruptly but it still says, "Master, he
is a level nine magic beast who has shapeshifted."

It, that is only a level seven, going up against a shapeshifted level nine magic beast, would only be
walking towards on the road of death. Although it signed an ordinary bond with Tang YunQi, it still
values this life very much. Otherwise it would have killed off this bonded master long ago.

As if her throat is completely blocked up, Tang YunQi no longer says a word, looking at Sheqiu
with a face full of terror.

This person is actually a shapeshifted level nine magic beast?

How can this be? Isn't You XiaoMo's bonded magic beast a Blue-blooded wolf?

How did it turn into a level nine magic beast?

Notes:flower vase - just a pretty face

black line = -_-|| or ...

Cheng YaoJin (Tang dynasty general) - busybody

Chapter 184

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Fated.This really is wind and water are always flowing!

A second before, Tang YunQi still confidently thought that she could dictate the life or death of You
XiaoMo with one word. Her words and demeanor disgusted everyone on the scene, no matter beast
or man. As a result, a second later, the appearance of Sheqiu turned the situation around. The person
at a disadvantage is now herself.

Towards Tang YunQi who always thought of herself above the whole world, this blow was too
much for her to take. Not a single word comes out of her for some time, turning the surroundings
extremely quiet.

You XiaoMo sighs, "Told you to run and yet you refused to run."

The corner of Sheqiu's eye twitches, "Master, these kind of words don't suit you."

You XiaoMo blinks, "Is that so? Then what kind of words suit me?"

Sheqiu says, "There are no words that suit you. It's best that you shut up and watch the
show."

You XiaoMo says, "Sheqiu, why are you just like Elder brother Ling, so hateful?"

Sheqiu answers happily, "I'm very honored to be just like Great Leader!"

You XiaoMo, " ....... "

This fellow is beyond saving. What is so good about that guy? So many people to learn from and he
has to learn from him!

Sheqiu points at Tang YunQi and asks, "Master, how do you want to handle her?"

You XiaoMo suddenly remembers that this girl is still here. He immediately puts on an expression
of careful consideration. As it is, his dimension was not exposed. To kill or not to kill her. It's really a
dilemma!

After panicking for a bit, Tang YunQi finally calms down.

Seeing You XiaoMo's pensive expression, Tang YunQi raises her chin and snorts coldly, speaking
as if chopping the nail and slicing the iron, "You XiaoMo, I think you don't dare to kill me. If my
dad finds out, you will definitely die without a place for burial. My dad won't let you off. I urge
you, it's best to let me go."
Young miss, these words are rather too offensive ba?

Right now the advantage is clearly in my hands. And yet this chick is still not terrified. Still acting
'I deign to give you a chance to correct your mistakes', damn who wants your mercy ah!

Hearing these words, even he, such a benign and benevolent person can't help feeling a faint
bubbling of anger.

You XiaoMo looks toward Sheqiu, "You say ....... if ....... will people find out?"

Sheqiu really wants to copy Xiao Hei and roll his eyes at him but he is a noble and refined high
level magic beast, "Even if someone finds out, I can kill him before he has a chance to tell
anyone."

You XiaoMo exclaims 'yi', "You know what I'm saying?"

Sheqiu finally can't help rolling his eyes at him, "What you want to say is written on your face."

You XiaoMo rubs his cheeks, it's that obvious?

Sheqiu asks again, "So, tell me clearly what your decision is."

Although he really wants to kill Tang YunQi, in order to be a respectable magic beast, he still very
much values his master's wishes.

You XiaoMo tilts his head and glances at Tang YunQi, "Then ....... act as you see fit ba."

Tang YunQi's expression that was brimming with confidence slips instantly. You XiaoMo, who in
her heart had no way of hurting a hair on her head, right now actually tacitly agreed to let his magic
beast kill her?

This can't be. Finally terrified, Tang YunQi stumbles back a few steps. She is the young miss of
TianXin sect. The one who is above everyone else. Her father is the Grand Master. Her future is
limitless. How can she die here?

"You ....... "

Tang YunQi wants to start ranting but she could only say one word. The rest of the words will
never be said as if something happened in an instant, and a bright red tongue falls at her feet.

She wipes the bright red blood that is pouring out continuously from her mouth. Only 'wu wu'
sounds are coming out of her mouth. She feels a piercing pain coming from her cut off tongue almost
making her want to pass out dead on the spot. But not only does she not pass out dead, she also sees
very clearly that her tongue is at her feet.

Tang YunQi's eyes pop out and she almost falls apart. Her tongue has been cut off? She can no
longer speak again?
You XiaoMo shudders and covers his own mouth reflexively. Sheqiu really does what he says. He
had just nodded and he had passed like thunder and moved like wind to cut off Tang YunQi's tongue,
and it even seems to be the whole tongue .......

Sheqiu flicks off the blood on his fingernail and glances indifferently at the completely horrified
Tang YunQi, "Finally know how to be terrified huh woman? It's a pity it's too late. You will pay
for your stupidity and the price is simply death!"

Tang YunQi regrets. She never expected that she would die.

Sheqiu seems to understand her expression, saying in a sweet voice dripping with poison, laughing,
"Actually you should thank me, because the person killing you is me, and not the Great Leader
Ling Xiao. Because ....... if you let him kill you with his own hands, you would die a more
horrible death."

Tang YunQi shakes her head furiously. Impossible. Brother Xiao would never kill her!

Sheqiu laughs while looking at her eyes and says in a low voice, "Do you want to know why? It's
actually very simple. Because your most beloved Brother Xiao died a long time ago. The one
you're pestering every day and every night is an imposter."

Tang YunQi's pupils shrink and shrink. If she could still talk, she would definitely wail and shriek
until the end of time denying Sheqiu's words. But as it is, she can no longer speak. Instead her mind
very clearly thinks back to Brother Xiao's recent abnormal behavior. If it is really like what he said,
wouldn't all the doubts she has been having these days be resolved just like bamboo meeting the edge
of a knife?

But she has no way of believing the fact that her most beloved Brother Xiao is actually dead.
Brother Xiao is so formidable. How can he die? Filled with doubt and regret, Tang YunQi's heart is
dug out by Sheqiu.

Opposite them, You XiaoMo can't take it anymore and turns away. He is realizing that each and
every one at his side are all princes of violence and gore. If it's not intestines and brains, it's hearts
and other organs. Can they not leave an intact corpse?

Sheqiu turns his head and sees You XiaoMo who has turned away and is not surprised by his what
is unseen is deemed clean behavior.

Rather, he had expected that You XiaoMo would not have dared to watch the whole process. Of
course, he doesn't consider himself violent and bloodthirsty.

After finishing off Tang YunQi, Sheqiu then shifts his attention to the seven-tailed demon fox that
was silently standing by the whole time watching its master getting killed. From its reaction, he can
tell that Tang YunQi was a very selfish woman.

The descendant that possesses the bloodline of the ancient nine-tailed demon fox. An unbelievable
fortune and she actually only formed an ordinary bond. And cursing worthless thing every time she
opens her mouth. No wonder the seven-tailed demon fox would rather suffer the retribution from the
bond and ignore her impending death. Now that the woman is dead, it has regained its freedom.

"Wei, do you have any interest in joining with my family's master and great leader?"

Under the guarded eyes of the seven-tailed demon fox, Sheqiu issues an invitation all of a sudden.

At this time, it's not only the seven-tailed demon fox that is in shock, even You XiaoMo turns
around and looks at them in surprise.

After a moment of silence, the seven-tailed demon fox asks, "Why?"

Why are you, a distinguished high level magic beast, willing to follow a very weak mage who isn't
even capable of defending himself? It doesn't understand.

Sheqiu is all smiles, "I can't explain it to you now, but I can promise you that you will
definitely not regret it."

After saying these words, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitches.

The drooping eyes of the seven-tailed demon fox widen in an instant as it tries to hold back an
impulse to speak, before transmitting its voice, "Is what you said true?"

Sheqiu nods, "I swear on my name as a nine-winged magic horn serpent that not one word is
false."

"Alright, I agree!"

The seven-tailed demon fox accepts readily.

In You XiaoMo's eyes, they only exchanged three sentences. Two sentences from Sheqiu, one
sentence from the seven-tailed demon fox. And then the seven-tailed demon fox suddenly accepts
Sheqiu's invitation. Strange, simply bizarre to the extreme!

The most hateful thing is, they simply didn't discuss this with him, the master of the bond, deciding
among themselves this matter of following along.

You XiaoMo objected resentfully, "Sheqiu, do you not think you should ask for my approval
first?"

Sheqiu looks at him with an apologetic expression that is not apologetic, "Sorry, I almost forgot
about you. So master, your opinion ne?"

You XiaoMo grits his teeth, what 'almost forgot about you'? Too hateful!

The seven-tailed demon fox walks up to You XiaoMo and lowers its noble head. It asks humbly,
"Please, you must accept me. It doesn't matter even if it's an ordinary bond. I'm willing."

This word willing is not something that can uttered carelessly. Although it looks as if it has been
taken in by Sheqiu's words, it really has considered it carefully.

It can see from the nine-winged magic horn serpent that his bonded master is someone who is
completely without airs. Completely different from that Tang YunQi woman. Although it is the same
ordinary bond, the attitude is as different as Heaven and Earth. This kind of master, and on top of that,
the benefits that Sheqiu mentioned, it is willing despite being an ordinary bond.

With someone so sincere, if he is to refuse, wouldn't that be too hard-hearted?

In the end, You XiaoMo nods and agrees, "Since you are preparing to join my Qiu team, I might
as well pick a name for you. The fur on your body is very thick, how about we call you Maoqiu
ba."

Seven-tailed Demon Fox, " ....... "

After a moment of silence, the seven-tailed demon fox looks back at Sheqiu, can I change my mind?

Sheqiu coughs, sorry, no can do, once master has been put up for sale, absolutely no returns nor
exchanges!

Seven-tailed demon fox, " ....... "

In the end, it still accepts it. Compared to Sheqiu, it feels that Maoqiu is already a lot better.
Luckily it wasn't called Huqiu. Otherwise, it would have turned into a Huqiu.

After confirming the new member, one man and two beasts simply leave the scene of the crime.

Right now everyone is separated because of the collapse of Demon Peak. But after recovering,
sooner or later, the search will reach this place. The discovery of Tang YunQi is only a matter of time.

At first, You XiaoMo wanted to let the seven-tailed demon fox bond with Fifth brother. But,
remembering that Lei Ju and rest know that Tang YunQi's bonded magic beast is a seven-tailed demon
fox, if they recognize it, it would bring trouble to Fifth brother. Therefore, he dispelled the notion.

Coincidentally, Ling Xiao took in a newborn six-winged divine tiger not long before this. Although
it would have to be nurtured while it's still young, the potential of the six-winged divine tiger is
tremendous. Furthermore, nurturing from young may help form a closer understanding.

At this same moment, a matter of hard-selling is taking place where Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin are
located.

Because of the collapse of Demon Peak, the dead soul beast wasn't able to find Fu ZiLin in the
quickest time. Luckily Ling Xiao had told him that Fang ChenLe's bonded magic beast is a poisonous
flood dragon.
In order to dodge the collapse of the mountain, Fang ChenLe had no choice but to allow the
poisonous flood dragon to assume its original form. It's just that, unexpectedly, they were located
precisely on the spot where the mountain split open. Although the poisonous flood dragon is a level
eight magic beast, right now it is only at level seven. In order to protect Fang ChenLe and Second
brother, they were almost flattened. Luckily, its body was big enough to attract attention, and was seen
by the dead soul beast that happened to searching in the area. Otherwise, the two men and one beast
would have fallen into the crevasse.

But here is where the problem starts. The soul beast wants to bond with Fu ZiLin but Fu ZiLin is
cautious by habit. He doesn't believe that he would run over here to bond with him with no rhyme or
reason. It simply doesn't make any sense.

Although the dead soul beast is their savior, he won't make light of his future just because of a little
indebtedness.

"Just tell me what would it take for you to be willing to bond with this old one?" asks the dead
soul beast woefully.

"Why must you bond with me?"

Fu ZiLin asks expressionlessly.

"This old me ....... this old me loathes too much freedom, so I want to find a bonded master, is
that not allowed?"

The dead soul beast's face is distorted as he forces out a ridiculous reason. Dammit, who would
complain of too much freedom, he really hates that he does not enough freedom ne!

Fu ZiLin is not fooled, "Since it's like that, it doesn't have to be me. Anyone would do."

The dead soul beast was never good-tempered to begin with. He already presented himself to the
doorstep and he's actually facing push three, resist four, so he flips out on the spot, "Mother! This
old one took a liking to you so what about it? This old one wants to bond with you so what about
it? This old one is not that patient, so out with it, are you willing to bond with this old one or
not?"

Fu ZiLin, " ....... "

Fang ChenLe, " ....... "

In the end, they form the bond, but only an ordinary bond for now because Fu ZiLin says that he
doesn't trust him right now, so he wants to evaluate his performance. If there's really no problem, it
would be changed to a life bond in the future.

The dead soul beast gnashes his teeth while forming the bond with him in tears. If there is a ranking
for losers in this world, he would definitely rank at the top!

Chapter 185

The Legendary Master's Wife by Yin Ya

Assembling at the stone platform.Half an hour later, the crumbling of Demon Peak is finally over.

Each major sect starts to take count of the dead and injured. One glance and it is too horrible to
bear.

Although quite a few people were able to escape in time, there were also a few that didn't manage
to flee. Some fell into the crevasse. Some were crushed to death by falling debris. The number of men
dropped significantly all at once.

The people of TianXin sect also finally discover that Tang YunQi is missing.

Elder Wang looks over the group of people a few times with an unsightly expression but still finds
no sign of Tang YunQi in the end. Tang YunQi was entrusted to him personally by the Grand Master. If
something happened to her, the Grand Master will definitely hold him responsible when they return,
"Who among you saw YunQi?"

Huang Jie stands up and says, "Elder, when Demon Peak collapsed, Junior sister Tang seems to
have been the first to flee down the mountain. At that time, that seven-tailed demon fox was with her.

Although everyone knows long ago what kind of person Tang YunQi is, to escape by herself in
difficult times, not giving a care to the survival of her fellow disciples ... If this was done in private,
even if everyone is clear about it, no one would say anything, at most grumbling a few words in their
hearts. But she did this in front of the faces of all her fellow disciples, abandoning everyone to save
herself. This is inviting condemnation.

Huang Jie is a person of unremarkable appearance. He is Milefo Du YunCai's disciple, not from
the same branch as Tang YunQi. Therefore, he doesn't have to be too careful with his speech.
Furthermore, he doesn't have the slightest liking for Tang YunQi.

"There is one day left before the barrier of the Paradise Realm reseals. Let's do it this way ba.
I and Huang Jie will lead a few people to find YunQi. The rest of you will head to the stone
platform first. We will meet up at the stone platform five hours later."

Elder Wang says after some thought.

Huang Jie can't help saying, "Elder Wang, Junior sister Tang has a seven-tailed demon fox by her
side. Even if we don't go look for her, she would go to the stone platform by herself to meet up with
us.

Elder Wang gives him a look, "Young Huang, it's not as if you don't know what kind of temper
Tang YunQi has. Moreover, there are all sorts of dangers in the Paradise Realm. What if by
chance, something happened? It's better to go look."

Since it has been spoken to this extent, Huang Jie doesn't feel he should continue to protest.
However, the impression he has of Tang YunQi worsens a few degrees in his heart. This young miss,
not giving anyone peace even to the end.

And so, everyone splits up and head in two directions.

The stone platform is not very far away from Demon Peak. Furthermore, there is no longer any
need to look for magic herbs and magic beasts along the way so even though it took a few days when
they came, it only takes half a day to return.

At this time, scattered disciples from the other forces are already assembled on top of the stone
platform.

Elder Shi takes a sweeping look at those people and sees that everyone is feeling run down, as if
they had suffered a heavy blow. This is not unexpected. The real treasures of the Paradise Realm are
located on top of Demon Peak. No one expected the collapse of Demon Peak. Not only was it a
wasted trip, a significant number of disciples were also lost. The price of this trip to the Paradise
Realm can be said to be a whole lot costlier than before for all the forces.

At this moment, Luo ShuHe also arrives at the stone platform, leading the disciples from his sect.

Compared to TianXin sect, the loss of QingCheng sect is undoubtedly much worse.

Out of forty to fifty people, nearly half of them are dead. Furthermore, a lot of the disciples
sustained heavy injuries. The casualties are more severe than last time. However, there are those who
are worse off then them, like XingLuo group. Adding up the disciples and elders altogether, they are
only left with six people.

As for XiaoYao group and the other two forces, except for XiaoYao group that lost five disciples
and one elder right at the start, killed off by Eleventh Star, the other two did not lose too many
disciples. As for the independent martial artists, only three died out of ten.

After taking count of the disciples from his sect, Luo ShuHe's expression darkens considerably.

Until now, there still is no sign of Elder Li. He suspects that Elder Li is already dead but knowing
Elder Li's prudent nature, he can't have just died from one trip. Furthermore the circumstances of his
death is so irregular.

Luo ShuHe feels that there is something strange about Elder Li's death from beginning to end. He
glances at the whole group of TianXin sect disciples diagonally across from him.

"Young master, how are the injuries of the heavenly bird of six thunders?"

Elder Mo walks up to him and asks in a soft voice. It sounds like a very casual question but the
implied meaning is only clear to Luo ShuHe.
Luo ShuHe's lashes flutter with faint traces of vicious intent, "Already better by almost fifty
percent."

Elder Mo says, "Then is there anything else that Young master is worried about?"

Luo ShuHe says, "There is nothing more to worry about."

On the other side, Elder Shi who was in the middle of checking on the injuries of the disciples
suddenly realizes that someone is approaching them. Before he could turn around and look, Qin ShiYu
at his side who received minor injuries suddenly speaks up, "Elder Shi, people from QingCheng
sect have come over."

Elder Shi turns around and takes a look. Sure enough, Luo ShuHe is leading a group of people over.
Each and every one of them is enveloped in a murderous aura. Although some of them are
intentionally hiding it, he can still tell.

"Mo Sheng, what is the meaning of this?"

Elder Shi raises his brows at Elder Mo who comes over with Luo ShuHe. So-called friendly ones
do not come, the ones that come are not friendly. No matter how you look at it, they don't look as if
they are coming over to chat.

Luo ShuHe takes out a magic bag, "Elder Shi, this magic bag is one of TianXin sect's ba?"

Elder Shi narrows his eyes. He can roughly guess their motive so he says, "Earlier, we lost quite
a few of disciples from our side. Later, a few of our disciples also had their magic bags snatched
from them. How is it that Young master Luo has our TianXin sect magic bag in your hands? It
can't be that the one who snatched away the magic bags from those disciples of mine is actually
Young master Luo ba?"

"You're speaking nonsense. We Qing Cheng sect wouldn't even bother snatching your magic
bags. This magic bag ....... "

When one of the Qing Cheng sect disciples heard him turn around and frame them, he immediately
refuted anxiously.

"Enough, don't say anymore."

Luo ShuHe speaks out to stop him from continuing.

That disciple immediately regains his senses. He almost let him succeed in prying the secret from
him. His body breaks out in cold sweat as he retreats back into the group in shame.

Luo ShuHe looks at Elder Shi calmly as he says, "This magic bag was picked up by Junior
brother Yang at the Green Mountain Stream. If this really belongs to TianXin sect, then we
would of course return it to its rightful owner. However, the reason I'm standing here now is
not to return things to their rightful owners."

Elder Shi's brow twitches, "Then what is the reason?"

Luo ShuHe throws the magic bag in his hand onto the ground, enunciating each and every word,
"At that time, the one holding tightly onto this magic bag is one of my junior disciples. And he,
was already dead for a long time."

The expression on Elder Shi's face changes abruptly, "Esteemed master Luo, are you actually
saying that we killed your junior disciple?"

Mo Sheng scoffs coldly, saying darkly, "The proof is right here. Don't tell me you're still trying
to turn black to white, and say that the murderers are not all of you, TianXin sect. Today, we
stand here to demand a piece of justice for those junior disciples who died."

Elder Weng, whose temper is rather irritable exclaimed 'pei' on the spot, "Mo Sheng, don't you
stand here and frame us. Who knows if you Qing Cheng sect people didn't kill our disciples,
then make off with their magic bags and then planted the stolen goods to frame us. Don't think
that it is easy to bully TianXin sect. What dog shit Qing Cheng sect, just a bunch of petty
thieves!"

The blunt and brazen words immediately turn all the faces of the men from Qing Cheng sect the
darkest shade of black.

Mo Sheng is so furious that his face turns a little green. He knows about the level nine magic pill
protocol so he knows what he is implying when he said 'petty thieves'. However, the other disciples
don't know this.

Luo ShuHe's face darkens, his eyes glinting coldly, shooting out knives, "What about TianXin
sect, cowards that dare to do but don't dare to admit?"

These words elicited a strong reaction from all the disciples of TianXin sect.

The matter has come to this point. Naturally, there is no more hope of reconciliation.

Earlier, when Luo ShuHe brought his people over to TianXin sect, the other forces already took
notice, but each and every one of them maintained a wait and see approach.

Right now, the one with the most survivors are TianXin sect and Qing Cheng sect. Even if they
want to intervene, they don't have the strength. Furthermore, the two major sects going at each other is
only something they would only be too happy to see. They actually can't wait for them to go all out,
fighting to mutual destruction.

Just as they were eagerly anticipating the two sides starting to take action, all of a sudden, a
delighted voice is heard coming from the stone platform.
"So lively, is this because everyone is welcoming me ba?"

Hearing these words, most of the people couldn't stop their mouths from twitching, whose face is it
that is so thick?

Everyone turns towards the voice and sees that another person is arriving at the assembly point.
And this person, to everyone's surprise, is Ling Xiao.

With the appearance of Ling Xiao, everyone then seems to remember about his existence. He didn't
seem to have appeared at Demon Peak. At that time, the situation was rather tense so very few people
noticed, but now they all remember.

Looking at Ling Xiao appearing safe and sound, Elder Shi is momentarily stunned. Elder Weng, at
his side, reacts the same way. The two of them even exchange covert looks with each other.

Unexpectedly this action was caught by Luo ShuHe. This reaction doesn't seem to be too happy.
Instead, they seem to be very surprised that he is here. Can it be that they thought that Lin Xiao is
dead? Looks like the relationship between Lin Xiao and Elder Shi is not quite like what he imagined.
The whirling thoughts of Luo ShuHe suddenly turn more pensive.

At this moment, someone steps out from behind Ling Xiao. That person says in a soft voice, "Elder
brother Ling, they don't seem to be too welcoming towards you."

This person is none other than You XiaoMo. After Tang YunQi's death, he, Sheqiu, and Maoqiu met
up with Ling Xiao as they were heading towards the stone platform. He clearly caused such an earth-
shaking incident and yet he looks as if nothing had happened.

Ling Xiao laughs, "Little brother, somethings should not be said too bluntly."

You XiaoMo, " ....... I will remember the next time."

That would be a wonder.

So this is the last chapter for me. Exiled Rebel Scanlations has already started their translations.
Thank you everyone for your all your kind words and company. Here's to getting to know all the
members of the qiu team before we turn a decade older. This blog will now go into hibernation.
Chapter 186

Chapter 186 – The Criminal

T/N: We don’t translate the honorifics because it’ll be hard to convey the meaning properly and
distinguish real siblings from the honorifics. Therefore only the honorifics that have one meaning will
be translated into english.

Elder Shi was the first to react. Before others had a chance, he hurriedly spoke out, “‘Lin Xiao’,
you came just in time, the Qing Cheng Sect said that we killed their disciples, and now they
want to deal with us.”

If you took a good look, you would notice that when Elder Shi looked at ‘Lin Xiao’, there was a
hint of guiltiness in his eyes that couldn’t be concealed by his speech.

Ling Xiao acted like nothing had happened walking over and looking at both side’s murderous
intent, finally he laid his gaze on the Qing Cheng Sect, laughingly he says, “It’s already the last day,
why don’t we take a step back? Paradise Realm is really dangerous, something out of our
expectations might happen. Someone might have even set up that trap to frame us, wanting to
provoke us against each other while they just sit and receive the fisherman’s benefit (t/n: third
party using the conflict between two parties to gain benefit from it). We are all adults, we have
to be careful and think of the consequences.”

These words were very clear and logical, seeing Ling Xiao’s earnest attitude, many people’s anger
calmed down. Luo ShuHe and Mo Sheng looked at each other, they didn’t expect Ling Xiao, with only
one sentence, to point out their doubts.

The truth is, when he took the magic bag earlier, Luo ShuHe also suspected that somebody might be
deliberately trying to put the blame on the Tian Xin Sect, because according to the person who found
YeDan’s corpse, there weren’t many traces of fighting on the scene. So you could assume that the
opponent’s level was above YeDan, perhaps much higher.

But for such a high level master, how could they leave such an obvious mistake? Even though they
suspected it, they couldn’t just announce YeDan’s death like that. So Luo ShuHe instead thought that
since the Qing Cheng Sect and the Tian Xin Sect’s relationship had reached the point like water and
fire (t/n: completely incompatible), and that sooner or later would be torn anyway, they could use
YeDan’s death to blame the Tian Xin Sect and then the Qing Cheng Sect could openly take action. But
only they knew the truth, not the other disciples, so Ling Xiao’s words shook them up.

You XiaoMo tries to hold back his laughter. Ling Xiao is really good at acting. As the only one
who understands this situation, he stated, seeing his pretentious act that was polar opposite of his true
nature, he wanted to vomit. Of course, only in his mind.

Originally the two sects were already at the flaming point, but thanks to Ling Xiao’s “advice”,
everyone’s anger had almost died down. The other forces saw that there was nothing to see, got
bored, and left.

Luo ShuHe and the others seemed to have other plans, but also didn’t continue.

Even You XiaoMo, who had a two digit IQ, could see their inner thoughts. Even though Luo ShuHe
had contracted with a level nine magic beast, he also knew that the level nine magic beast suffered a
serious injury. Unless he had the same lake water like he did, there’s no way the injuries of the Six
Thunderbird had healed. So he shouldn’t start a conflict now.

Ling Xiao came up to Elder Shi, making it look like it was unintentional, and said, “Elder Shi, you
all came here at the same time, don’t tell me you all already promised beforehand?”

This sudden remark made Luo ShuHe who had already prepared to go, stop in his tracks and look
over again with a puzzled expression.

Elder Shi, worried that he’d continue to speak, quickly dragged Ling Xiao to another place where
others couldn’t hear their conversation.

Making a cough sound, he said, “I accidentally got the information of when Demon Peak would
be opened, so I made an appointment with the other Elders to go together to Demon Peak. At
that time you were still in the north, so I was too late to inform you.”

Ling Xiao made his *Oh* sound a little long.

Elder Shi didn’t realize his train of thought, and while patting his shoulder, he faked a big laugh.
“But fortunately you didn’t come, Lin-shizhi. You might not know, but Demon Peak just
collapsed a while ago, and lots of people got injured. Lin-shizhi you really are a fortunate
person.”

Ling Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, “Just as Elder Shi has said, Ling Xiao’s luck is really
good.”

If only this old man were to know that the person standing in front of him was the one who caused
Demon Peak to collapse, but he wouldn’t say that.

“That’s right, Elder Shi, how come I don’t see Elder Wang and Huang Jie-shidi?” As if
wanting to ease the tension, Ling Xiao ‘considerately’ changed the topic.

Elder Shi suddenly felt relieved, “YunQi has disappeared, so they are looking for her. After five
hours, they should be back.”

There’s a proverb that says, when you speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will come (t/n: someone
appears right after you have said their name). Right after Elder Shi said it, somebody arrived at the
teleportation point. It was none other than Elder Wang’s group, but their expressions looked very
gloomy.
Elder Shi looked over, his sight falling to the stretcher carried by two disciples at the back of the
group. When he sees the person on the stretcher, he takes a breath, and his eyes darken.

“Wha… what’s the matter?” Elder Weng’s face also becomes pale. Both of his eyes darkened as
he stared at the hole in the chest of the person on top of the stretcher. Tang YunQi’s body is covered in
blood; her lifeless appearance indicates that she had been dead for a few hours.

Of course, their gloomy expressions were not because of Tang YunQi’s death, but because of the
Grand Master’s anger once he found out that his daughter had died in Paradise Realm where they had
taken responsibility.

“Elder Wang, what happened? How come my niece YunQi is dead?” Elder Shi hurriedly went
to Wang An’s side, who had the gloomiest expression.

Wang An was the one who was given the responsibility to ensure Tang YunQi’s safety when they
were inside Paradise Realm. Now that Tang YunQi had met this accident, he was the one to hold the
biggest responsibility.

The moment he found Tang YunQi’s body up until now, you could say that Wang An’s facial
expression had not gotten any better. In fact, it had only gotten worse. His icy-cold gaze looked as if
he wanted to devour a person. After he heard Elder Shi’s words, he coldly says, “I don’t know what
happened either. By the time we found her, she was already dead.”

He also wanted to know who had killed Tang YunQi. Although he couldn’t protect Tang YunQi, if
he could have brought back the murderer at least the punishment would have become lighter.
However, the murderer’s work was too clean, he couldn’t find any clues about while he was at the
crime scene.

When Elder Weng saw that they were getting nowhere, he couldn’t help but wonder, “Elder Wang,
where is Niece YunQi’s contract beast?”

Upon hearing this sentence, Wang An’s facial expression became gloomier, “It’s gone. I suspect
the murderer might have been after Tang YunQi’s contract beast, that’s why she was killed.”

It is not uncommon to kill people just to rob them of their treasure, that’s why everyone didn’t
doubt this reason. But–

Tang YunQi’s contract beast was a level Seven One Star. The Star rank Seventh Star beasts are
really powerful, despite even being in the Paradise Realm. When compared to the level seven demon
beast, the strength gap was still very big. No matter how they thought about it, there was no way that a
practitioner would just kill her to rob her of a treasure in just a few hours. Unless it was planned, like
for example if more than one Star rank Seventh Star joined forces, then it might be possible.

However, this theory didn’t have any evidence.

The collapse of Demon Peak wasn’t something that everyone expected, Tang YunQi getting
separated from them was also accidental, so they could rule out the possibility of a planned murder. If
they thought about it like this, there was only one possibility.

The killer might be a person who owns a contract beast, and his contract beast’s strength is likely
above Tang YunQi’s contract beast’s. Only this way, could they explain Tang YunQi’s death.

“Stronger than a level Seven demon beast.” Wang An said this to himself, his fierce eyes
instantly looking towards all of the practitioners and mages who owned contracted demon beasts.
With this as the key, the scope for the potential murderer had narrowed down a lot, because not
everyone had the chance to get a contract with a level Seven Demon Beast and above. They could
even say that this kind of person was absolutely like a phoenix feather and a unicorn horn (t/n:
extremely rare).

Besides, if the murderer really had snatched Tang YunQi’s contract beast, then that person was
most likely a mage, because only mages could get a contract with more than one demon beast. With
this, the scope had narrowed down even more. But they still could not rule out the possibility that the
murderer might be two or more people.

Having said that, Wang An still couldn’t risk to offend the other parties by confronting them. No
one would like to be suspected as Tang YunQi’s murderer. Besides, not everybody was like Tang
YunQi, who flaunted her demon beast for everyone to see. The stronger the demon beast, the more
they’ll hide it; otherwise they might be the one who gets killed and robbed of their treasures.

So in the end, Tang YunQi ending up like this was completely because of her own actions.
Nevertheless, Tang YunQi’s death still caused an uproar among the crowd.

The murderer suspects were not only Wang An and his people, everyone here was sharp. Although
some may not show it, but secretly, they must have told their own contract beasts to hide.

However, there was one person whose contract beast was very eye-catching. That person is Fang
ChenLe.

At that time, in order to save people, Fang ChenLe was forced to bring out the Poisonous Flood
Dragon. The consequences were that some people ended up seeing it. Some people were the
disciples from martial arts, and their friendships were not deep enough; even if Fang ChenLe had
asked them to not tell, there ought to have been some disciples who spilled it out.

Elder Shi, who You XiaoMo guessed had abandoned Fang ChenLe before, was showing an utterly
unhappy expression, because he found out that the Poisonous Flood Dragon was the demon beast that
was from the lake before.

Apparently, not only had Fang ChenLe survived, his luck was also large. He didn’t know how he
had managed to get a contract with the Poisonous Flood Dragon, but after that, Fang ChenLe also
didn’t tell them about the Poisonous Flood Dragon. He clearly must be cautious of them.

After they met, Fang ChenLe was surrounded by a group of disciples asking him this and that.
Fortunately, there was Fu ZiLin. His expressionless yet as cold as an iceberg face,scared people off.

When You XiaoMo walked out, his cold face melted a little.

“Da Shi Xiong, congratulations!” You XiaoMo, ignoring Ling Xiao who was busy playing
innocent in front of Elder Shi and the others, immediately ran towards Fang ChenLe who was
surrounded by a crowd before, sincerely congratulating him.

Upon seeing him, Fang ChenLe’s face finally revealed a sincere smile. He pulled XiaoMo to his
side, checking over his body. After he was sure that he didn’t have any scratches, he finally sighed in
relief.

Fang ChenLe says, “Da Shi Xiong wants to congratulate you too, I heard you managed to get a
contract with a Blue-blooded wolf. Not bad, oh?”

You XiaoMo immediately laughed cheerfully. *he he* “Da Shi Xiong’s luck is better than mine, I
heard that the Poisonous Flood Dragon has dragon’s blood inside its veins, and someday will get
to breakthrough into level eight.”

Fang ChenLe pointed his finger towards his forehead, “Poisonous Flood Dragon is only level
seven right now, it’ll be a long time before he can breakthrough into level eight, and besides, do
you think a level nine shape-shifting beast could breakthrough that easy?”

Speaking of shape-shifting, You XiaoMo’s eyes sparkled, “Da Shi Xiong, can I see your
contracted demon beast?”

“Of course!” Fang ChenLe couldn’t help but agree. The Poisonous Flood Dragon didn’t like being
watched by humans, so it changed into mini size and hid inside his clothes. If other people asked him,
he wouldn’t let it, but You XiaoMo was different.

You XiaoMo took the Poisonous Flood Dragon from inside Fang ChenLe’s sleeves, and touched its
mini body, whispering, “Poisonous Flood Dragon ah, Poisonous Flood Dragon ah, I’ll leave Da
Shi Xiong’s safety to you, you can never let me down oh, or else I will ask Ling-shixiong to beat
you.”

Poisonous Flood Dragon “……..”

After he talked in a manner that looked like he was talking to himself, You XiaoMo gave the
Poisonous Flood Dragon back to Fang ChenLe, and then casually mentioned, “Second-Shixiong, you
didn’t contract a demon beast?”

In fact, he only wanted to know whether the Dead Soul beast looked for Second-shixiong to form a
contract. When they heard this sentence, both of them went silent; although he was silent before, Fang
ChenLe finally opened his mouth, “Xiao-shidi, we will tell you after we get back.”

It seemed like he had formed a contract, so You XiaoMo nodded immediately.


“Xiao Shi Di, look at Lin Xiao over there.” Fu Zilin don’t always open his mouth, but when he
did, he only said such a shocking thing.

You XiaoMo turned back to look and found out someone very familiar was walking toward Ling
Xiao.

Chapter 187 – Xiao Long Pick up

That person wasn’t a stranger, it was Jiang Liu.

Speaking of him, You XiaoMo found that Jiang Liu appeared to be very low-profile, from the time
they entered Paradise Realm until now, he hadn’t heard anything about Jiang Liu, or whether he had a
contract beast or not.

You XiaoMo turned towards his two seniors and said something, then walked toward Ling Xiao.
When he got near, he heard Jiang Liu, whose back was to him, say to Ling Xiao, in a slightly cheerful
tone, “Lin-shixiong, congratulations on coming back safely.”

Ling Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat surprised that he came over to talk to
him, and immediately smiled. “You are…. Jiang-shidi, aren’t you?”

You XiaoMo almost spit.

Ling Xiao’s words were a little bit too cruel. Just by looking at Jiang Liu, you could tell that he is
the “smiling Lin Xiao” fan. It might be difficult for him to take this chance to talk to Ling Xiao, but
not only did the other party not remember him, he even almost forgot his name. Truly tragic!

Jiang Liu’s whole face almost changed color, but his ability to endure was not low. He immediately
recovered, and put on a smiling face. This guy was tougher than the previous one. “Yes, Lin-
shixiong, you might not really remember me. Tang-shijie and I are Shi Jie Di (t/n: big sister and
little brother — disciple relationship only; he is her junior), we share the same master.”

Ling Xiao knocked his head, “Aiya, look at my memory. I remember now. During the big
competition at WuShuang Mountain last time, I remember that it seemed like you went to my
room looking for You-shidi, right?”

Jiang Liu’s face changed a bit, he didn’t know why Ling Xiao suddenly mentioned this matter again.
He suddenly didn’t dare to keep staying here, and quickly found an excuse to go away. Up until the
end, Jiang Liu still hadn’t found out You XiaoMo had been standing behind him all that time. Seeing
Jiang Liu stuck on his own words, You XiaoMo almost laughed out loud.

Regarding Jiang Liu, You XiaoMo already discovered his true nature. Not only that, he
remembered he was so dumb before, like the Wu Shuang Mountain’s incident that Ling Xiao had
mentioned just now.

At that time on the Wu Shuang Mountain, Jiang Liu tricked him to go with him. Although he was
exposed, Jiang Liu still deceived him by telling him that he was threatened by Tang YunQi. Now that
he thought about it, those lies were really flawed, but he still didn’t realize it. Jiang Liu is Master
Feng’s Heavenly Peak’s top disciple. With Master Feng putting a high value to Jiang Liu, there was no
way Tang YunQi had bullied him. Even if Tang YunQi’s father was Tang Fan, with Master Feng from
Heavenly Peak’s identity, Tang Fan was the one who must bow down to him. So there’s no way she’d
bullied him. He must have been really stupid to believe that.

Now the more he thought about it, this guy really had too many faces. He looked harmless on the
surface, but he was actually the most wicked person out there. Disguised as innocent and harmless,
but he was actually very narrow-minded. The treacherous and cunning type!

Fortunately, he was not too late to realize it!

Ling Xiao patted his head, “Have you finished laughing?”

You XiaoMo nooded and said, “Ling-shixiong, did you really forget Jiang Liu?”

Ling Xiao raised his brow, “He harmed you three out of four times, how could I forget him?”

You XiaoMo’s face reddened, “The one he harmed was not you, I should be the one who
remembered him.”

Ling Xiao’s eyes narrowed, “From your head to your toes, which part doesn’t belong to me?
Harming you means harming me. Why shouldn’t I resent him?!” He said this firmly, absolutely
without rhetorical question.

You XiaoMo stared at him. Damn him, from head to toe, which one belongs to me — He really
wanted to shout that back at him, but seeing Ling xiao’s ‘Don’t you dare say no” expression, he could
only swallow back his words.

After two hours, almost all the people who came into the Paradise Realm had arrived at the
teleportation point. Although nearly half of the people were dead, there were many people who had
survived. When the number of people had increased, the teleportation point started to give of a faint
smell of blood. Finally, the spell that was under their feet began to glow and the transmission started.

One by one, the people at the teleportation port began to disappear. Since the transmission circle
on the other end wasn’t very big, it could only transport around five people at a time and it transferred
randomly.

When the people on the teleportation port lessened, You XiaoMo screamed. He felt that there was
some kind of force grabbing a hold of him just before he got transferred. Just when he started to lose
consciousness, his waist was hugged tightly.

— Wan Mang Yao Yuan Borderline —

A month had passed, the people who protected the transmission circle saw a light that kept on
glowing, and the people continued coming out from the transmission circle. All they saw were the
pale faces that continued to show some lingering fear.
And then, someone suddenly made a *Yi* sound, “Why are there six people this time?”

His words suddenly caught the attention of most people, and everyone went to the transmission
circle to see. This turn’s transmission circle actually transferred six people, it was really unusual. Six
people came out of the transmission circle. The people who walked out last were surprisingly Ling
Xiao and You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo, who heard these people’s whispers, suddenly looked up towards Ling Xiao. Don’t
tell me the sixth person that they mentioned was Ling Xiao?

Luckily, the people didn’t look into this matter. The transmission circle probably could send out an
extra person sometimes; and soon, everybody’s attention was drawn towards the people who just
came out of the transmission circle.

Ling Xiao looked around, he didn’t find Tang Fan’s figure. Not only that, Qing Cheng Sect’s leader
Luo Cheng was also not there. Originally since a month had already passed, the people from the two
sects who were waiting shouldn’t be this little. Now there were so few and scattered, surprisingly not
that many, something big must have happened.

Ling Xiao caught a young martial arts disciple from the Tian Xin Sect, and casually asked, “Why is
it only you guys who came here, and the leaders didn’t?”

When the young disciple saw that the one who asked him was Ling Xiao, surprisingly he didn’t tell
him at once. Instead, he hesitated a bit, and then his eyes flickered before saying, “The leaders are
having an issue, so they told Xiao-shishu to come first and greet Da Shi Xiong.”

Ling Xiao made an ‘Oh’ sound and asked, “What issues are they having right now?”

The young disciple smiled reluctantly, “Da Shi Xiong asked the wrong person, my status is not
high enough to know this matter clearly.”

Ling Xiao asked, “Then who knows about it?”

The young disciple suddenly choked up. Da Shi Xiong was usually not someone who loved to
investigate things thoroughly, but thinking about the teacher’s warning, he decided to hide it.

Seeing that he wouldn’t say anything, Ling Xiao didn’t ask again.

The disciple immediately sighed in relief, and fled away. If he were to say something again, he’d
definitely spill the beans.

Not long after, everyone had finished transferring back, they destroyed the small transmission
circle. After that, everyone went away from Wang Mang Yao Yuan. When Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo
were just about to go back, they saw Luo ShuHe, along with the disciples from Qing Cheng Sect,
leaving in a hurry. Their expressions appeared to be very anxious, and they didn’t even say any
greetings.
“Lin Xiao.” Just then, Lei Ju’s master came over and called Ling Xiao, and talked to him in an
unusually polite manner. “There is a big problem in the Tan Xin Sect. The Grand Master asked
you to come back with me at once. Let’s go back now.” He didn’t deliberately urge him, and
without sarcasm in his words. This kind of manner made Xiao Long look so fake, that even made You
XiaoMo suspicious, not to mention Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao smiled and nodded, “Let’s go, ba.”

Then he took You XiaoMo’s hand, prepared to go together.

“Wait.” Xiao Long suddenly opened his mouth and called them. When they looked at him, he
explained, “This time, we have to go back immediately to Wu Shuang Mountain, and we don’t
intend to stop halfway because it is urgent. Your junior shouldn’t come back with you. Let him
go back with the people from the same division. Their destination is the same anyway.”

Ling Xiao paused, and then raised the corner of his lips, “That’s fine. Then Xiao-shisu please
wait for me a little.”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Long didn’t make it difficult for him, and just let him go.

Lei Ju saw his leaving figure from behind, looking somewhat dissatisfied, and said, “Shifu, why
did you let Lin Xiao go? He bullied me in Paradise Realm.”

Xiao Long sneered, “Don’t worry, he won’t be able to keep his cockiness for too long.”

Although Lei Ju didn’t know what had happened, he knew his Shifu couldn’t be wrong, so he
became happy.

On the other side, Ling Xiao handed You XiaoMo to Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin. When both of them
came closer, the Poisoned Flood Dragon that always lazed around on Fang ChenLe’s shoulder,
suddenly behaved like it was afraid of something. However, because it was too small, there were not
many people who realized it. However, because Fang ChenLe had become his contractor, he realized
it. Before he even opened his mouth, Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo had arrived in front of them.

Ling Xiao said, “Fang ChenLe, please take care of You-shidi”.

Fang ChenLe was surprised that he handed You XiaoMo to him, but nodded anyway, “Don’t worry,
I am his Da Shi Xiong, of course I will take care of him.”

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, and went away. When he looked at his back, You XiaoMo wanted to say
something, but stopped. He felt that there was something weird about the whole situation.

The pressure of the atmosphere around the people became vicious.

Chapter 188

Chapter 188 – Zhou Peng’s Incident

By the time You XiaoMo was just about to climb the winged bird, Xiao Long had already flown
away. Fang ChenLe who was beside him, patted his shoulder, signaling him to sit down because the
winged bird was about to fly.

Although it was impossible to get information from other people, the one who picked them up at the
summit was You XiaoMo’s Fourth-shijie, Nan GongYing. When they asked, although Nan GongYing
was hesitant, she still told them anyway.

Actually, something big had happened at the Tian Xin Sect.

A month ago, all the major forces and the demons had been in constant dispute. Both sides had
many casualties. The bad relationship had continued to get worse, but not that long ago, just around
half a month after they enter the Paradise Realm.

The Tian Xin Sect dispatched several armies against the demons attack, only to be caught in a
surprise attack by the demons and were totally annihilated. Among these people, there was Xiao
Long’s best disciple, Wang YuFei. He was the one who mocked You XiaoMo at the library because of
the Lei Ju’s incident.

Actually, the demons’ attack toward the Tian Xin Sect was something that they had expected. But
the problem was that the Tian Xin Sect’s armies were something that was temporarily because of the
conditions. They still hadn’t fixed any schedules yet for the shift changes, and it changed almost
everyday.

Somehow the demons looked like they knew when and where the shift changed. Not only did they
manage to sneak into the Tian Xin Sect’s territories, they also managed to kill two patrols. When he
found out about this matter, the Grand Master became furious and ordered the matter to be
investigated thoroughly.

To be able to know the exact time and place clearly, there were only two possibilities: one was
that there was a spy from the demon’s side hiding inside Tian Xin Sect. Second was someone was
working together with the demons, and that’s how the information leaked out.

And thus, Tang Fan gathered all the people who knew this information, and investigated them one
by one. In the end, they found a suspect. That person was Zhou Peng, Ling Xiao’s closest junior.

Actually, there was no clear evidence about Zhou Peng teaming up with the demons. He couldn’t
tell them his whereabouts that day, and no one could give any testimony for his alibi, so he became the
suspect, and was put on death row by the Tian Xin Sect.

As to why they took Ling Xiao, that was because Zhou Peng and Ling Xiao’s relationship was as
close as brothers and Zhou Peng usually obeys Ling Xiao’s words. Moreover, Ling Xiao’s behavior
for the past year was very unusual. So the Grand Master suspected there was something wrong with
him, and asked Xiao Long to bring him back to the Tian Xin Sect.

You XiaoMo became speechless, “You can arrest people without evidence?”

Tang Fan clearly wanted to control Ling Xiao, so he took this opportunity to make Ling Xiao
become powerless.

Nan GongYing was actually really puzzled too; Lin Xiao is the Grand Master’s top student. He’s
powerful, kind towards people, all disciples–whether it’s junior or senior– put their trust in him. You
could even say that he had the possibility to become the Grand Master’s successor. Usually, the
Grandmaster should have had a proper investigation done before ordering people to take Lin Xiao
back, his way was not the proper way to treat the future heir.

Then again, no one could ever guess what was inside the Grand Master’s head, so even if they
puzzled over his actions, the most they can do was just observe from the side.

“Anyway, I believe Lin Xiao should be okay. We just have to wait for him, the Grand Master
might release him in two days.” Fang ChenLe said while looking at You XiaoMo. He obviously
said this to relieve You XiaoMo, because he assumed You XiaoMo would be very worried about
Ling Xiao. In fact, You XiaoMo never worried about him. On the contrary, he only hoped that this
matter won’t become serious or else, it would be over, especially if they ended up provoking Ling
Xiao.

On the third day the sun begun to rise, they finally arrived at the summit. Due to the demons’ attack,
the atmosphere at the summit was much more oppressive compared to a month ago.

When the five of them got to the summit, they received so much attention from all disciples.
Actually, there was one more disciple that should have been there and that person was Zhao Zhang’s
nephew. Unfortunately, his luck was not as good and he had died in the Paradise Realm’s territory.

Fang ChenLe, while leading his juniors, walked towards Kong Wen, “Shifu, your disciples have
come back.”

Kong Wen showed a comforting smile, his gaze falling towards the Poisonous Flood Dragon which
was on Fang ChenLe’s shoulder. “As expected of my disciple. The Poisonous Flood Dragon is not
a normal mid-level demon beast. Pretty good, pretty good. Shifu didn’t raise you as my disciple
all these years for nothing. And ZiLin, even though you only got a contract with level six demon
beast it’s better than nothing. Please continue to work hard.” He talked while looking at Fu ZiLin.
This second disciple of his, although he didn’t really like his cold demeanor, he had the skill that
could only be found one in a hundred. That made him proud.

The level six demon beast that he talked about is the dead soul beast which was sitting on top of Fu
ZiLin’s shoulder. This dead soul beast is a high level ancient demon beast, and there were no records
about it in the library’s scrolls; besides, it concealed itself on purpose, so even Kong Wen couldn’t
recognize it.

After that, Kong Wen called the other two elder disciples over. Their luck was not as good as Fang
ChenLe and Fu ZiLin, each of them only able to obtain a level four and level five demon beast.

Other than the demon beasts, some people got many magic herbs in the Paradise Realm, especially
Fang ChenLe. He contracted with the demon beast quite early. The Poisonous Flood Dragon was a
beast that guarded many magic herbs. Since these kind of things were done individually, no one had to
seek permission.

There were five people, but he only called and praised four people. Kong Wen left out You
XiaoMo, either consciously or unconsciously.

Fang ChenLe who didn’t seem to realize it, used all of his strength to bring out You XiaoMo, who
was hiding in the crowd, to the front. He happily said, “Shifu, there’s still You XiaoMo. He is the
same as ZiLin, he contracted a level six blue-blooded wolf at the Paradise Realm.”

Kong Wen’s smiling face immediately shrink, he answered drily and didn’t say anything after that;
as if he’d lose something if he said more. Before this, even if he didn’t really like You XiaoMo, he
wouldn’t obviously show it but now he did it in front of a lot of people.

Fu Zilin, who usually doesn’t really talk, softly said, “Shifu, you don’t feel happy for You-
shidi?”

Kong Wen took one look and immediately choked on his words,he breathed in quickly, and then
gazed at his two students’ faces, said, “Of course not, as a teacher, I’m really happy for him.”

Fu ZiLin nodded, “That’s good, then. I’m also happy for him.”

Kong Wen stared at You XiaoMo, drily laughing. Who is possessing Second-Shixiong right now?
This made him extremely unhappy. Kong Wen became angry at his two disciples; he didn’t say
anything again, and just found an excuse to leave.

After Kong Wen left, You XiaoMo immediately felt that the pressure had reduced a lot. He left after
he talked with the other disciples.

As soon as he arrived in his room, he went to his bed and quickly fell asleep as soon as his head
touched the pillow. During the whole month in the Paradise Realm, he didn’t get decent sleep. He
slept through the whole day until the next morning, and felt refreshed after he woke up.

Just when he opened the door, he ran into Yang Yi, who lived next door. Yang Yi was the same as
ever, still loving to gossip with his talkative mouth, if he stopped gossiping for one day he would feel
uneasy, and to think that his practice was still progressing well while he gossiped.

It was good to have a senior who loved to gossip, he could ask him about everything happened that
he didn’t know.
The news about Tang YunQi’s death in Paradise Realm had become an uproar in no less than a day.
However, because she did so many evil deeds while she was still alive, many people didn’t really
like her. So the people who secretly took joy in the calamity and delighted in the disaster (t/n: to
rejoice in other people’s misfortune) were quite a lot.

Tang Fan demanded that they investigate it thoroughly. But after much discussion, most people
believed that the murderer was most likely from the Qing Cheng Sect. The Qing Cheng Sect and the
Tian Xin Sect hated each other, besides, the only one who wasn’t afraid of the Tian Xin sect was the
Qing Cheng Sect. Other factions, although they wanted to kill her to take her treasure, they still had to
consider the one who was backing up Tang YunQi.

So even though they said that they wanted to investigate thoroughly, in fact they had already
determined that the Qing Cheng Sect was the one who had murdered Tang YunQi. According to the
most reliable information, Tang Fan had already given an order to not hold back the next time they ran
into any Qing Cheng Sect disciples.

But You XiaoMo didn’t care about any of that information, he only cared about Ling Xiao’s matter.

When Yang Yi heard him question about Ling Xiao, he wasn’t surprised, but he looked at him
apologetically, “Actually, myself don’t know anything regarding Lin Xiao.This matter is in the
Tian Xin Sect’s classified information, no matter how much I asked, they won’t tell me
anything. But if it is you who wants to know what happened with the person who is the strongest
after Lin Xiao, I can give it to you.”

You XiaoMo thought about it for a minute, and then asked, “That Zhou Peng?”

Yang Yi was surprised, immediately looking around to check, and when he was sure that no one
was around, he whispered, “You-shidi, regarding Zhou Peng’s matter, please keep it a secret. The
Grand Master already gave an order to forbid anyone from talking about this matter.”

You XiaoMo was surprised, “Why is that?”

Yang Yi whispered, “You still asked why? Grand Master and the others apparently have
already determined that Zhou Peng was the one who worked together with the demons. I heard
that the Grandmaster has already decided to expel Zhou Peng.”

You XiaoMo’s eyes widened, “What do you mean by decided?”

Yang Yi sighed and said, “I mean it as it is. I feel that Zhou-shixiong is really pitiful.”

Although he was not familiar with ZhouPeng, but he had heard many things about Zhou Peng. He is
a straightforward and tough guy, generous, and never speaks arrogantly. There was no way that this
kind of person could work together with demons, furthermore, working together with the demons
wouldn’t give him any benefits.

Even he could guess it, how could the Grand Master not? Moreover, Zhou Peng is his disciple.
Now he even dealt with his two most outstanding disciples; they really couldn’t guess what was
inside the Grand Master’s head.

You XiaoMo reluctantly shook his head. No matter how he thought about it, actually Tang Fan
wasn’t clever enough.

The demon and the human conflicts were getting more serious each day, and on top of that, they still
had issues with their relationship with the Qing Cheng Sect. The war between these two sects could
break out at anytime, yet he still detained his own disciples during this crucial time. Was he not afraid
that other people would object him?

After Yang Yi left, You XiaoMo went to the dining hall.

He realized, the seniors and juniors who weren’t that close to him during peaceful times, were now
acting cold towards him, some even avoiding him. How puzzling.

Even though he didn’t know why, he preferred it this way.

When he went back to his room, he ran into Zhao DaXhou, who was looking for him.

Zhao DaZhou actually had come yesterday, but You XiaoMo was sleeping. Knowing that he must
be tired, he didn’t disturb him and just went away. He just came and went away by himself, even Yang
Yi didn’t know about it.

Zhou DaZhou apparently had heard about how Kong Wen treated him yesterday, he looked at him
up and down in a glace, and carefully asked, “Seventh-shidi, are you okay?”

You XiaoMo raised his eyebrow and looked at him, “What’s wrong with me?”

Zhaou DaZhou thought that it seemed that he didn’t lie, instantly sighing in relief, “If you think
that there’s nothing wrong, then it’s okay. Oh right, I’ve heard about Lin Xiao, you don’t have to
worry, Lin Xiao is very outstanding, and he has large potential. The Grand Master won’t make
things difficult for him.”

Why did you guys think that I’d be worried about him? You XiaoMo became depressed. If they
heard this tone, it would look like he was worried that Ling Xiao wouldn’t be able to sleep or eat.
Even heaven knows that that guy is tough, that kind of guy doesn’t need his little mage to worry about
him. But of course, he couldn’t say it out loud.

When he looked at him, You XiaoMo suddenly remembered one thing, “Fifth-shixiong, please
come with me, I have something for you.”

Zhou DaZhou suddenly realized that they were still standing outside his room, but he was very
curious about what You XiaoMo had for him, so he followed him inside.

You XiaoMo turned towards him and said, “Please wait here for a while.”
After he said that, he went behind the changing screen. When he was sure that Zhou DaZhou wasn’t
peeking, he secretly took out the small Six Winged Divine Tiger demon beast from his space. The
little Six Winged Divine Tiger opened its eyes, both of its paws holding its mother’s condensed spirit,
and looked at him rather dazed.

You XiaoMo immediately looked at this meng face that was still covered in blood. This small
fellow was too cute. Although he hated to part with it, but beside this little one, You XIaoMo had no
other choice to pick.

Zhou DaZhou wondered what took him so long, and then he saw him coming out from the screen.
Just when he was about to talk, attracting his attention was the small demon beast, “Seventh-shidi,
this is…?”

You XiaoMo carried the Six Winged Divine Tiger demon beast in front of him, excitedly saying,
“Didn’t you ask me to help you find a demon beast the other day? I found this to give it to you.
How is it? Cute isn’t it?”

Zhou DaZhou gaped, too speechless and only said, *Na, Na*. He had long forgotten about that.

At that time, although he had asked You XiaoMo to find him a demon beast he didn’t really say it
seriously, and he didn’t think that he would really find one. Moreover, he never saw this type of
demon beast species.

After the long silence, Zhou DaZhou finally couldn’t help but ask him with trembling lips,
“Seventh-shidi, is this demon beast really for me?”

You XiaoMo nodded, “Really.”

Zhou DaZhou, “Really, really?”

You Xiaomo nodded again, and said patiently, “Really, really.”

Zhou DaZhou: “Really, really, really?”

You XiaoMO: “……………”

Chapter 189

Chapter 189 – The Ruse of Self-injury

After You XiaoMo repeated it so many times, Zhao DaZhou finally believed him.

Zhao DaZhou was giggling *hei hei* while holding the Six Winged Divine Tiger. He always
thought that the possibility of him having a demon beast would be after a few hundred years.

For that opportunity to happen, he was to become a level six or level seven mage before his father
would let him to do as he pleased, and then, he and his fellow disciples would leave the Tian Xin
sect to go on an expedition. After that, he would finally be able to make a contract with his first
demon beast, so it was totally unexpected for him that his Seventh-shidi would gave him this demon
beast.

After he finished giggling for a long time, Zhao DaZhou suddenly thought of a question. He put both
of his hands under the little Six Winged Divine Tiger’s arm, looking at the confused little demon
beast, and asked, “Seventh-shidi, what is this little demon beast’s species, is it a low rank or a
middle rank?”

You XiaoMo said without hesitation, “Isn’t it supposed to be a high level demon beast?” He
even said low level, does he look like the type that would use a low-level demon beast to impress his
senior?

Zhao DaZhou laughed at him, not believing his words, “You have a small body, how would you
even manage to capture a high-level demon beast so easily? Don’t think that I know nothing, if
this little demon beast is a species that was just born not too long ago, its parents would
definitely be by its side.”

What he said was right, but……

You XiaoMo shrugged and said, “But it really is a high-level demon beast, ah…”

“Haha… I was only…” Zhao DaZhou wasn’t really clear about what he said, so after he laughed
halfway, he stopped suddenly. He immediately turned his head so fast, it made You XiaoMo think that
his head would come off, and then stared at him with wide eyes. “What did you just say?”

You XiaoMo repeated patiently, “I just said, it is a high-level demon beast.”

Zhao DaZhou immediately shook his head, “It’s wrong, you didn’t say it like that before.”

You XiaoMo, “Where did I say it wrong?”

Zhao DaZhou said, “Just a moment ago, you clearly said, but it really is a high-level demon
beast, ah. I absolutely didn’t mishear that.”
You XiaoMo, “………” You deliberately want to find a fault, don’t you?

Zhou DaZhou didn’t notice his expression, he just stared at the little Six Winged Divine Tiger that
he was holding, hardly believing it, and said, “Seventh-shidi, how did you get this high-level
demon beast while no one else found it?”

You XiaoMo expected that he would ask about that, so he already prepared the excuse to answer
him, “At the Paradise Realm, I encountered two demon beasts that were fighting intensely, then
they both died, leaving only this little demon beast, so I just brought it with me.”

Zhao DaZhou showed a complicated emotion while looking at him, and said, “Your luck is really
great.”

You XiaoMo laugh, “Now this luck is yours.”

Zhao DaZhou became silent for a while, and then opened his mouth and said, “I heard you
contracted with a level eight Blue-blooded Wolf, why didn’t you take this high-level demon beast
for yourself?”

You XiaoMo became awkward, what should he tell him, that he actually didn’t get PiQiu at the
Paradise Realm? After he quickly thought of a reason, he explained, “This little demon beast was
born less than a month ago, even if I took a contract with it, it hardly has any use to me for the
time being. It is not as good as the Blue-blooded Wolf that can fight. You might not know, but I
found many mature magic herbs thanks to this Blue-blooded Wolf.”

Matured magic herbs and the ones that were still growing were two different things, if he didn’t say
that they were matured magic herbs, people would find out and come up to him, asking whether he
had a field to grow those magic herbs.

Zhao DaZhou looked at him with half-believing eyes, watching him for a while until he believed
that he didn’t lie, and then he admiringly fondled the little Six Winged Divine Tiger’s soft fur. “Since
you say it like that, then I should accept it. Oh right, the thing that’s on top of his claw, is it its
parent’s concentrated spirit?”

He had noticed it since before, the little demon beast had been holding the concentrated spirit
tightly with its two paws. You XiaoMo nodded, “That is its mother’s concentrated spirit, if it can
absorb this concentrated spirit, its early stage of cultivation should be higher than other demon
beasts of its kind. By the way, you shouldn’t let other people know about this demon beast, by all
means.”

Zhao DaZhou said, “Don’t worry, I know what I have to do.”

Since this little demon beast was too rare, You Xiaomo let him form a contract in his room because
he had the experience of forming a contract several times, he could then guide him. Although the little
demon beast is a high-level demon beast, its spirituality hasn’t developed yet. So even though the aura
of a high level demon beast gives off an unusual pressure, for Zhao DaZhou, who’s already a third
level mage, it was not a big problem at all.

Half an hour later, the contract was finally finished. Zhao DaZhou and the small demon beast’s
bond is a life contract, so it takes longer, and they stayed for a while before leaving.

After sending Zhao DaZhou off, You XiaoMo tidied up his room briefly, and then he went into his
dimensional space.

He already planted the magic herbs near he got at the Paradise Realm. In fact, most of them were
Dipper herbs, and it has the ability to produce around a hundred seeds. Now that most of the seeds
had fallen off, both of the Hidden Dipper stink bug were flying happily around the magic herb field.

You XiaoMo walked towards the lakeside and looked around. Aside from SheQiu and MaoQiu,
who don’t really like water, the other two are at the lake playing around. He couldn’t help but getting
a headache.

Come to think of it, the real reason he formed a contract with these demon beasts was so that he
could get them help him from time to time. Such as watering the magic herbs with the diluted spirit
water, and gathering the seeds. The magic herb seeds that he planted grew up at an incredible speed,
and there were many of them, if he didn’t gather them for a while, it would piled up. He originally
thought that these guys would help, but they were just lazing around.

You XiaoMo walked over, looking at SheQiu and MaoQiu who were lazing around, and then said
to the two of them who were at the lake, “PiQiu, XiaoHei, didn’t I ask you to help me pick up the
seeds? Why are both of you swimming in the lake instead?”

XiaoHei turned into a ruthless beautiful young boy, he rarely spoke and he often ignored him, just
like now, even though he heard his words, he didn’t care, and just hid in the water.

PiQiu was better, he emerged from the lake, showing his white and tender face that looked like
steamed buns,naively said, “XiaoHei and SheQiu said that it is your business, it has nothing to do
with us.”

You XiaoMo’s delicate and pretty face suddenly darkened.

XiaoHei splash out from the water, staring at his face, and said, “Idiot, do you want to get
spanked?”

PiQiu got scared, and immediately dived into the water.

You XiaoMo became angry, no matter what anyone said, he was the one who raised PiQiu until he
grew up, although it was only for a few months, he already considered PiQiu as his own family. He
didn’t expect that XiaoHei would deceive PiQiu.

There were many magic herb seeds, and he usually was busy so he didn’t have time to collect it.
Even if he asked them to help, it was a task that wouldn’t take too much time. They played water,
slept, and lazed around in the space, yet they didn’t have time to help him pick up the seeds?

He didn’t know why, but You XiaoMo suddenly felt so irritated.

As if responding to his feeling, the space that was peaceful before, suddenly blew a strong wind,
the blue sky turned dark and thundered instantly, along with lightning that lit over half of the sky, the
gloomy space suddenly became oppressive.

This phenomenon immediately woke SheQiu and MaoQiu who were taking a nap at the lakeside.
XiaoHei and PiQiu who were inside the water also came out from the water, going back to the
lakeside, and looking at the sky along with SheQiu. They guessed that it had some connection with
You XiaoMo’s body.

You XiaoMo didn’t realize it at first, he only started to realized it after there were few lightning
sounds. His irritable mood suddenly turned into a scared one. He looked around blankly, everything
around him was blown upside down. After a while he suddenly remembered and he ran towards the
magic herb field, and after he saw that all magic herbs were planted securely on the field, he suddenly
relieved.

The four beasts didn’t say anything, but they could vaguely guess what happened.

PiQiu looked at his master’s figure from behind, and then looked at XiaoHei, SheQiu, and MaoQiu.
He then shook his body of the water drops, then his two little legs ran off towards his master.

“Master, I’ll come to help you.”

You XiaoMo turned back to see the baby PiQiu hurried to come to his side, compared to the time
he couldn’t walk after transforming, this was really an improvement, he can’t help but laugh, “PiQiu
is a good kid, I didn’t spend the several thousand of gold coin to buy you mutton for nothing.”

PiQiu grinned instantly, revealing two rows of baby teeth. His spirituality formed early, so he knew
that his master was really good to him.

Both of the master and servant looked at each other and giggled for a moment, and then began
picking up the seeds.

Both of them worked together continuously, each of them carried a magic bag and each worked on
one block of the magic herb field. No matter if the seeds were good or bad, they put it into the bag.
The mood was so comfortable, as if nobody could get in between them.

When You XiaoMo was just about to pick up a seed, he suddenly felt that there were three more
breaths. He turned his head to one side and saw that the cold-faced XiaoHei was squatting on the
magic herb field beside him. One of his hands was holding the magic bag, while the other hand was
picking up the seeds that fell on the ground. In front of him was SheQiu’s lazy figure and MaoQiu’s
silent figure.
He took a glance and then withdrew his gaze, bowing his head, the corner of his mouth slowly
curving up. What a bunch of awkward guys, made him have to use this “self-injury” ruse.

However, the change in the space was really unexpected. He himself didn’t realize it, but the space
changing to follow his mood was greatly beyond his expectations.

———————————————————

UPDATED: After a few hours of dedicated researching ( googling, I mean), turn out “fragrance
insect” is stink bug. Thus we shall use a new term for both the herb and the beast.

Dipper herb : previously translated as seven star herb.

Hidden Dipper stink bug: previously translated Seven star hidden fragrance insect.

The “seven star” here is in astronomical term, not as in the ranking system, in English, the seven
star is known as Big Dipper. We decided to change the name so as not to be confused with the
ranking, and these beasts will play an important role later.
Chapter 191

Chapter 191 – Secrets and the Transmitter Stone

Tang Zhen is Tang Fan’s biological little brother, there is only a five years difference between
them. During their younger days, you could say that both of them were the most talented people in the
Tian Xin Sect. During Grand Master Yu’s reign, they caught his attention, and he personally trained
them.

At that time, many people were guessing around to who would succeed the Grand Master, because
both brothers were the best in the last three generations. Everyday people would discuss who was
better between Tang Fan and Tang Zhen. Some people even believed that they would end up against
each other.

However, the result was beyond everyone’s expectation, because Grand Master Yu had an
accident.

Grand Master Yu’s strength was at Spiritual level seventh star rank, and he almost had a
breakthrough into Emperor level.

But when he went out to do some work, he and other elder disciples encountered the demons
attack, and died.

Losing a Spiritual level seventh star rank, and a Grand Master to boot, was a really big blow for
the Tian Xin Sect. Luckily, according to the Tian Xin Sect’s inside information, there weren’t any
other forces that were involved in this accident. During the critical moment, there was a great elder
protecting the Tian Xin Sect using his enormous strength. He had incredible strength, and he fought
back those who tried to provoke them.

A country should not be without a ruler even if it’s just for a day, and that included the Tian Xin
Sect.

Later, that great elder became the one who made the decisions and arranged a new Grand Master.
The candidates were Tang Fan and Tang Zhen.

Because of their good characters, innate talents that could only be found one in a hundred, and the
fact that they were hardworking practitioners, this made them the best candidates to become a Grand
Master. But if there were two candidates, of course they should compete with each other.

But the day before the competition, Tang Zhen decided to withdraw, giving up the position of Grand
Master to his big brother, Tang Fan, and voluntarily went to protect Tian Xin Sect’s death prison.
Nobody knew the reason he decided to withdrew, and the only thing they knew was from then on,
Tang Fan had became the Grand Master for several hundred years.

This matter wasn’t really a secret, because all the predecessors who from the same period as Tang
Fan, those from a few hundreds years ago, knew about this. Yang Yi only had to ask a little to know
the story roughly.

A little brother who could sacrifice himself for his brother’s future, in the whole continent of Long
Xiang, if there was somebody who could believe Tang Fan unconditionally, it was only his little
brother Tang Zhen.

After he heard about this from Yang Yi, You XiaoMo felt that there was something wrong.

Tang Zhen gave up the Grand Master’s position to Tang Fan, it means that the two brothers’
relationship was very good. But then again, Tang Zhen didn’t really have to protect the death prison.

Staying in the death prison for too long would made you develop neuroticism, furthermore it
wouldn’t be any help for a practitioner. The air at that place was very heavy, if the practitioner was
not strong enough, the odds of being possessed by a devil was very high.

So if their relationship was really good,Tang Fan should have called Tang Zhen back after he
succeeded the Grand Master title. But not only did he not he do it, he ignored it for a few hundred
years. Could it be that there was a special place at the death prison?

You XiaoMo really wanted to go to Wan E forest and take a look, but the guards there are
exceptionally strict, he might even get caught before he went near it.

He asked SheQiu, but SheQiu simply rolled his eyes, and said that he would only hinder Ling Xiao
if he went there, and just told him to relax.

It’s not easy for him to worry about Ling Xiao, but once he did, he was told that he would only
become a hindrance, someone is being really arrogant.

Three days later, You XiaoMo saw Fang ChenLe who he hasn’t seen for many days.

This time, Fang ChenLe didn’t look for him to chat around; a month ago, he promised You XiaoMo
that he would give him some high level magic herb seeds, and not long ago, a small high level magic
herb field recently dropped some seeds, so he finally had the opportunity to enter the seed house.
After he got a hold of the seeds, Fang ChenLe especially came here running to give him the seeds, and
after talked a bit, he hurriedly going back.

You XiaoMo brought the seeds and gave it to SheQiu and the others, let them soak the seeds in the
spirit water until they became puffed up, set up the magic herb fields, and then planted them in the
fields. Because these were high level magic herb seeds, the growth time for these seeds was much
longer, so they needed to prepare them beforehand before they could plant them.

In the afternoon, You XiaoMo went out from the space, and then he went to met Zhao DaZhou who
was in a rush looking for him.

When Zhao DaZhou saw him, the first thing that he said was, “Seventh-shidi, I’m really sorry.”
Saying that all of sudden, You XiaoMo didn’t know what he meant.

After he panted a few times, Zhao DaZhou began to explain, “Last time, didn’t you say that I
shouldn’t let other people know about MengMeng’s existence? I wasn’t careful enough, and my
dad found out, so I had to tell him about it.” MengMeng is the little Six Winged Divine Tiger.

You XiaoMo just wondered about what was he going to tell him, but it was actually about this
matter. He already expected that Fifth-shixiong wouldn’t be able deceive Zhao-shibo, so he already
expected that Zhao-shibo would find out.

Zhao DaZhou saw his flat expression and couldn’t help but be surprised, “Don’t tell me you
already guessed it?”

You XiaoMo patted his shoulder, and said in an understanding tone, “Fifth-shixiong, to tell you
the truth, I feel that with your IQ, it’s impossible for you to deceive Zhao-shibo.”

Zhao DaZhou twitched his mouth, “Should I thank you for being so understanding to me?”

It sounded like he was praising his father’s high IQ, but it clearly means that his own IQ is low.

You XiaoMo laughed, “You don’t have to.”

Zhao DaZhou rolled his eyes, while keeping his face close to him, but the worries in his heart had
finally lifted. He was afraid that You XiaoMo would be mad at him.

You XiaoMo didn’t get angry at all, in fact he felt that it was better for Zhao-shibo to know the
truth. Since he is much smarter than Fifth-shixiong, he knew that such a treasure shouldn’t be exposed
to other people, and with his harsh language, he could help but keep the secret, so it would lessen the
chance that MengMeng would be found out.

Zhao DaZhou said, “there’s still one other thing, have you heard about Xing Luo’s matter?”

You XiaoMo asked back, “I’ve heard about it, why did you ask?”

Zhao DaZhou said, “I heard my father say that Grand Master would go to the Yun Canyon
tomorrow and meet with other forces, and afterwards they will go looking for the Xing Luo
Sect. They estimated that this war would lasts for several days.”

You XiaoMo nodded his head, “I know about this, ah.”

Zhao DaZhou rolled his eyes and said, “I know you do, what I want to say next is the thing that
you don’t know, please listen until I finish talking.”

You XiaoMo rubbed his nose, he felt that recently he received so many eye rolls.

Zhao DaZhou said this in the mysterious way, “There is something that you absolutely don’t know.
Actually, not everybody in Tian Xin Sect listens to what the grandmaster had said. My father said that
inside the Tian Xin Sect, there is a group of strong people that can’t be controlled by the Grand
Master, so he really wants to eliminate them as soon as possible. Sadly their strength is too strong,
unless he breaks them one by one, it would be impossible even for grandmaster to remove them.

You XiaoMo, thought about it, “Don’t tell me they use to oppose the Grand Master to succeed
the previous Grand Master?”

Zhao DaZhou praised him and said, “You’re correct, my father told me, actually, during the
time when the current Grand Master succeeded the grandmaster title, there was a hidden story
behind this, although it wasn’t very clear specifically.”

You XiaoMo wasn’t a fool, when he had heard Zhao DaZhou mention his dad a few times, he knew
why he told him about this.

This kind of matter concerning Tang Fan was an absolute Tian Xin Sect secret, you couldn’t obtain
it just from Yang Yi-shixiong’s gossip. Since Zhao-shibo asked Fifth-shixiong to tell him this, it was
clearly his way of thanking him for the high level little demon beast that he gave to Fifth-shixiong.

Zhao-shibo couldn’t interfere with Ling Xiao’s matter, but the people who opposed Tang Fan could
do it, so Zhao-shibo wanted to warn him that he could look for those people.

After sending Zhao DaZhou off, You XiaoMo stayed inside his room all afternoon.

When he got out of his room, apparently he already had some determination, his expression looked
firm.

The next day, Tang Fan and others left Tian Xin Sect for Yun Canyon. The reason he could just
leave the Tian Xin Sects was because the person who temporarily filled in his position was the great
elder who helped him succeeded the Grand Master position. That great elder was already very old,
and of course it’s been a long time since he handled things, so nobody know how strong he is now.

In You XiaoMo’s space, on the second day Tang Fan left, he gathered up all the Qiu team members
to start a secret discussion. “You want me to infiltrate the death prison at Wang E Forest and look
for boss? Only me?” SheQiu frowned while looking at him. He doesn’t understand this way of
thinking, in the end, who’s the one who has to listen and do the work?

You XiaoMo nodded, “I didn’t ask you to bring me and look for Ling Xiao, but I want you to
help me tell Ling Xiao about that matter. I think we can make use of it, who knows maybe we
can even get Zhou Peng out.”

SheQiu made a complicated expression while looking at him for a long time, and then looked at
Xiao Hei and the others.

Xiao Hei and the three others who were beside him turned their heads away, not looking at them.
The four beasts’ reactions immediately made You XiaoMo confused, he thought that his plan didn’t
have any problems, he had confidence in this plan, even just a little, so why did they have those kind
of reactions? Besides, it made him feel that somehow they were feeling somewhat guilty.

After a while, SheQiu made a coughing sound, and then took out a luminous stone from his chest
and gave it to him.

You XiaoMo took the stone, “What is this?”

This whitish stone, the interior has milky white color, it is a very beautiful stone.

SheQiu’s eyes were sparkling, and then said “This is a transmitter stone.”

You XiaoMo asked, “What is a transmitter stone?”

SheQiu mumbled, “It… can let two people to talk with each other even when they are not at
the same place, as long as it’s not exceed ten thousand miles.”

You XiaoMo nodded, it’s similar to the 21st centuries telephone, but the distance is longer, and
there’s no limit for the signal or particular place. Of course he knew that; and then, he asked in a very
gentle tone, “Then, who are you usually talking to using this stone?”

SheQiu imitated Xiao Hei and the others, turning away his head, not daring to look at You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo “…”

Transmitter Stone, “Haha…”

Shibo (师伯) = Uncle (in teacher-master form). The ‘bo’(伯) literal meaning is ‘paternal older
uncle’ — disciples call masters other than their own master as ‘uncle’, in this case, the other master is
older/senior than your own master, or he is your senior’s master.

*in this case, momo calls Zhao DaZhou’s father as shibo because he is Zhao’s father (and Zhao is
Momo’s senior)

Chapter 192

Chapter 192 – Bottleneck

Addis note: I was able to rope Rara into translating LMW while Yuanyulin is on vacation, so we
will still try to continue updating while she is gone.

Following the “Ha Ha” sound, the atmosphere instantly quieted down.

Five seconds later, someone got pissed and jumped up from the ground, brutally throwing the
transmitter stone away, while furiously shouting, ” Ha ha… Ha your sister, you all deceived me, spun
me around and around like a toy.”

You XiaoMo was deathly angry, and to think he wasted all those times “withering away” from
worrying about Ling Xiao. In the end, that bunch already had been in cahoots with each other, all
except him who had been utterly fooled. He felt abandoned. What a bunch of assholes!

The stone transmitted Ling Xiao’s voice with a laughing undertone, “Xiao Shidi, don’t be mad,
there is a reason I didn’t tell you right away, but I’m really happy to see you worry for me.”

The moment Ling Xiao said this, the SheQiu group understood and quickly dispersed, even the
little innocent PiQiu was fast on his legs, although, he went to pick up the transmitter stone that was
thrown earlier.

You XiaoMo rolled his eyes toward PiQiu, who wanted you to meddle in my business?

PiQiu pretend he was blind, can’t see anything, and then * pi pi* ran away.

You XiaoMo fiercely said, “You better have a reasonable explanation, one enough to convince
me, or else….I won’t refine any magic pills for you to eat anymore.”

Ling Xiao,” Ha ha.”

Ha your sister ah! Hurry and tell me quick.

Ling Xiao seemed to receive You XiaoMo’s resentment, so he started to explain, “Actually, Tang
Fan arranged people to monitor you.”

Fuck, You XiaoMo realized that this “couldn’t be any shorter and simpler” of a sentence to
succeed in persuading him, and he was hoping for a longer explanation, in the end the first sentence
explained everything.

You XiaoMo suddenly remembered all the stuff he had done, anxiously saying, “You said Tang
Fan arranged people to monitor me, which means he already learned everything I have done
this past half month?”
Ling Xiao saw him getting frustrated and calmly said, “No, rest assured, Tang Fan didn’t send
his men to monitor you side by side, only when you leave the peak, his men will follow you.”

You XiaoMo silently let out a sigh of relief, “Then it’s okay.”

He calmed himself down, he knew that he was making a fuss, if Tang Fan really sent people to
closely monitor him, Ling Xiao would have certainly warned him beforehand and told him to be
careful. But then, since he didn’t say anything, it was probably because that spy was not a threat.

Ling Xiao gave a *ha ha* laugh, “Not angry anymore?”

Dropping a bomb like that, You XiaoMo lost all his energy to get angry, “Are you still in the
prison? When will you leave?”

Ling Xiao teased, “Miss me?”

You XiaoMo pouted, “Who would miss you?!”

Ling Xiao was very satisfied with his “mouth says one thing but heart speaks another,” softly
saying, “Xiao Shidi, I miss you so much…”

You XiaoMo heart went on a rampage, how can he say something so easily, but he had
underestimated Ling Xiao’s thick skin, what Ling Xiao said next made his pink blushing face quickly
go red from anger.

“I really miss you…when you are naked from head to toe, such meticulous fair and smooth
skin rubbing my body, so soft and delicate that it makes me horny every time. When that
happens, what goes down there can’t help but go…hard, Xiao Shidi, what should I do now, I
suddenly want to eat you…”

Ling Xiao’s vulgar voice slowly transmitted through the stone, every word seems to be bewitched,
softly coaxing into You XiaoMo’s ear, making him unconsciously remember the skinship of those
nights when Ling Xiao embraced him. This is absolutely a restricted image!

“Ah ah!!!” – You XiaoMo shockingly threw away the transmitter stone again.

Ling Xiao’s laugh spread through the air, and then a *plunk* sound and the stone dropped into the
lake, the sound also disappearing.

SheQiu kicked little PiQiu into the lake, PiQiu bitterly looked at them, accepting his fate and dived
down to pick up the stone again, giving it back to You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo’s mouth twitched, he took the stone, then patted PiQiu’s little head, calmly saying,
“PiQiu, you don’t have to pick it up next time.”

PiQiu looked at him, then silently ran away.


You XiaoMo swore, he could read the meaning in PiQiu’s eyes, “As long as you stop throwing it,
I will stop picking it up,” this was literally threatening him.

The angry You XiaoMo directly averted the anger toward Ling Xiao, “If you don’t speak to the
point, I won’t make any more magic pills for you.”

Ling Xiao held in his laughter, saying, “Ok, here is the issue, for the next month try not to leave
your room as possible. No matter what happens, keep hiding inside. It’s safer, also, let SheQiu
out to protect you.”

You XiaoMo excitedly said, “Don’t tell me you are ready to do something big?”

Ling Xiao said, “You can say it that way.”

You XiaoMo continued, “Are you plotting to overthrow and claim the throne?”

Ling Xiao said, “You can guess.”

You XiaoMo, “…”

That moment someone nearly blow his fuse again, Ling Xiao said, “You don’t have to ask
anything, when the time comes you will know, the less people who know, the better.”

You XiaoMo reluctantly accepted,”So when will you escape the death prison?”

Ling Xiao paused a little, “Probably not that far, uhm, actually the death prison is very fun to
play at.”

You XiaoMo blankly said, “Oh, then you might as well stay in there a few years, go and have a
blast.”

Ling Xiao laughed, “I would like to ah, but this death prison doesn’t have your milky smooth
body, and also your squishy soft butt. The fun will soon be boring, and I’m still longing for
your…”

Body…

You XiaoMo finished the sentence for Ling Xiao inside his mind, wanting to faint, can this guy be
anymore vulgar ah!

Although he succeed in contacting Ling Xiao, You XiaoMo once again got vulgarly roasted by Ling
Xiao, simply speaking, this is literally “give lady Le but gain nothing.” (t/n: to throw money down
the drain)

As for the transmitter stone, You XiaoMo didn’t return it to SheQiu, but straightforwardly
confiscated it, and then he ignored the four that ganged up to deceive him. Don’t think that because
Ling Xiao said a few words that he would drop the charge, You XiaoMo is a very petty man.

The next few days, the SheQiu group especially was very cautious and careful, especially in front
of You XiaoMo. Sometimes they even had to look at his mood, looks like the master finally “stood up
and sang.” (t/n: stand up to fight for his right)

Then three more days passed, the outside finally came with the news, Tang Fan and Lou ChengYuan
had joined forces, after paying a small price they finally succeeded in killing the Imperial level
Shentu Dao.

As for the demons, originally they were cruelly beaten by the major forces and suffered from heavy
casualties. Moreover the demons were already wicked in nature, working with them was like a
double edge sword, so even though they had an alliance with the XingLuo clan, in the end those
demons didn’t send their men to lend a hand.

Since then, the three major forces now lost to the XingLuo forces, the southern area was finally
under the absolute reign of the Qing Cheng Sect and the Tian Xin Sect.

Originally this should have come to the end, but conflicts happened at the time when they were
sharing the goods, Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan couldn’t agree with each other, resulting with
breaking up in conflict, the situation in the south was again turned into a tense atmosphere.

Their common enemy, the XingLuo group had disappeared, the demons also went back into the dark
to recuperate, so there wouldn’t be any storms coming up in this short period of time. But predictably,
the Tian Xin Sect and the Qing Cheng Sect conflictions quickly rose up.

Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan turned their backs against each other, all the old debts were being
brought up one by one.

The Tian Xin Sect had their own reasons, the Qing Cheng Sect had their own right.

One side accused the other of his daughter’s murder and stealing the magic pill recipe. The other
side asked for justice for his disciples and his elder’s death, even Elder Li’s death was grouped into
the Tian Xin Sect’s crime, although, in a way, it was not wrong.

Of course, they would never have thought, in a sense, all of them had been killed by the very same
man.

No matter what the truth was, the Qing Cheng Sect and the Tian Xin Sect had already made up their
minds.

In two or three months’ time, the southern forces were likely to go under a big reform, with the
Qing Cheng and Tian Xin Sect’s both being stubborn to death, afraid that another major force would
end up crumbling. In the next two weeks, there were various small battles between the two.

You XiaoMo listened to Ling Xiao’s word and holed up in his room, he either refined magic pills
or harvested his magic herbs.
But to have a gossip lover Shixiong, he was not completely clueless even though his ear never
stuck outside the window, sometimes he even knew sooner than others.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Da Zhou came to visit him again, this time he brought good news,
his Meng Meng after nearly a month of efforts, finally succeeded in absorbing the concentrated spirit,
the results were, even though he was not born more than two months ago, Meng Meng’s strength had
already surpassed PiQiu’s, his level is now level six three star, even a rocket wasn’t that fast.

Zhao Shibo is also very happy, and when he was happy, he pulled some of his authority to give him
more magic herbs.You XiaoMo could not refuse, and had no choice but to accept.

After that, You XiaoMo found an excuse to see Meng Meng, and then secretly stuffed a
shapeshifting pill into his mouth, and asked him not to tell Zhao Da Zhou and Zhao Shibo for the time
being. Meng Meng had gained his wisdom, vaguely remembering this person as the one who had
saved him before, so he promised, because it just temporary anyway.

And so, You XiaoMo would practicing from time to time, occasionally talking with Ling Xiao
through the transmitter stone, leisurely passing through the month. But today, You XiaoMo finally met
his first obstacle in his cultivating.

Today, just like every other day, he stayed inside his space to practice the Heavenly Soul Scripture.
Usually he absorbed the spiritual energy pretty smoothly, each time his soul power would improve,
but this time he could not feel anything.

You XiaoMo originally wanted to use the space’s dense spiritual energy, to try whether he could
breakthrough to Heavenly Soul Scripture’s second level. He could feel that he was only a thin layer
away from the second level, but he didn’t know why, he felt like he had gotten stuck at some part, he
could not move forward or backward, and was stuck at a standstill there.

You XiaoMo knew he was being hasty, and you cannot hastily eat hot tofu, before his practicing
was smooth sailing, perhaps too smooth and lucky, so it should be normal to encounter an obstacle
now. Don’t get anxious ya!

Even though he understood it clearly, he was still a bit impatient.

But soon, the news that Yang Yi-shixiong brought next made his impatience disappear.

It had been a month since the Tian Xin Sect set against the Qing Cheng Sect. Through all the small
and big battles, victories and defeat, both sects still equaled in strength, but today the Qing Cheng
Sect had flashed out their hidden ace, instantly taking all the advantages to their side.

The hidden ace was Luo ShuHe’s level nine contract beast, a real Imperial level warrior.

The Qing Cheng Sect’s young master Luo was lucky enough to have a contract with a level nine
beast, no wonder they dared to challenge the Tian Xin Sect. As such they had already expected it, and
held it to the present, perhaps they had already been well prepared.
At this point, all the neutral bystander forces, one after another, stood to the Qing Cheng Sect’s
side, now the wind had turned, the Tian Xin Sect was quickly pressured.

It was said that the Qing Cheng Sect was organizing their people, preparing to attack the Tian Xin
Sect in three days.

The news Yang Yi told was neither earlier or later, after all, their battles had already attracted a lot
of attention, some even received the news quicker.

So, when You XiaoMo got the news, the Tian Xin Sect was already in chaos, people started to
panic, everyone was talking about this matter.

Until the next morning, Tang Fan finally came forward to appease people, he assured all that the
Tian Xin Sect would not lose.

Tang Fan has already been the Grandmaster for hundreds of years, his power and trust is still very
high, many disciples and elders panic eased after hearing his assurance.

Three days later, Qing Cheng Sect brought their men to attack.

In addition to the Qing Cheng Sect, there are other forces and lone practitioners who also came to
watch, because this battle marked a big turning point of the major forces in the south, many people
wanted to use their own eyes to witness this piece of history.

Chapter 193

Chapter 193 – Showdown

As the sun gradually rose, the mountain where the Tian Xin Sect was began to light up. On the road
that lead to the Tian Xin Sect’s square, if the Qing Cheng Sect and the Tian Xin Sect were to confront
each other, this square was a perfect battleground.

The square has been filled up with spectators since dawn, but most of them were standing rather far
away from the main ground, after all, a battle between two Imperial level martial artists was usually
very gruesome, anyone could accidentally be caught up in the waves.

Under the expectations of the crowd, suddenly dozens of wind slashing sounds approached from
the distant, the momentum was large, making the people gasp in surprise.

Not long after, the leader of the group had arrived at the square, accompanied by very rude
laughter, “Tang Fan, I, Luo ChengYuan have come forth, stop being a turtle hiding in your shell,
come out and fight!”

All the eyes in the square switched to where Luo ChengYuan standing. Afterward, another wind
slashing sound stopped by his side, dozens of figures floating behind his back, including his son, Luo
ShuHe.

Some people opened their eyes widely in order to see Luo ShuHe’s level nine beast, and they
finally found it on his shoulder, but the beast was in it’s mini size so the people couldn’t see it clearly.

Although they could not see the Six Thunderbird, the Qing Cheng Sect’s strong troop had made a lot
of people gasp in fear. The crowd was faintly disturbed, a thousand year old sect is so distinctive,
second-rate forces cannot compare to them.

The Qing Cheng Sect sent out sixty strong martial artists, the lowest at the Moon level, the Star and
Spiritual level cultivators were everywhere, like sale off bok choy. Just for this one battle, the Qing
Cheng Sect sent out many strong martial artists, it looked like Tian Xin Sect couldn’t avoid this fight.

On the other side, even after Luo ChengYuan had led his men to lineup while waiting, Tang Fan still
hadn’t showed up.

Luo ChengYuan wrinkled his eyebrows, loudly shouting, “Tang Fan, are you so afraid of us in
the Qing Cheng Sect that you have to hide your tail and can’t come out?”

His voice was deliberately loud, almost spreading thousands of miles away, like he was afraid that
Tang Fan couldn’t hear him.

“Oh, Luo ChengYuan, don’t think that because you have a level nine demon beast that it can
help you reign over the south. The words spilled out of the mouth of the one who has been
number two for thousands years is literal nonsense. Let me clarify this today, right here, a
“thousand year” number two will forever be a “thousand year” number two, even no matter how
hard you climb, you can never become number one.”

Up above the Tian Xin Sect’s peak, Tang Fan let out a cold sneer, his blunt words causing an
uproar among the people standing by the square. Who would have thought Tang Fan would say such
an arrogant thing.

Luo ChengYuan‘s face suddenly intensified, his eyes quickly becoming gloomy. “If you don’t try
you won’t know who is the eternal number two, but I think you have no other choice now,
because right now, me, the grandmaster, will send the Tian Xin Sect to destruction.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, on the opposite mountain came dozens of silhouettes.

The wind slashing sound once again approached, not long after, people had arrived on the opposite
side of Luo ChengYuan. They were led by Tang Fan, and behind his back were the Tian Xin Sect
warriors whom, just like the Qing Cheng Sect, the lowest in strength was also a Moon rank.

Both sides lined up were the millennium rare of the rare, all the people gathered at the square
couldn’t help but widen their eyes to engrave this picture in their hearts.

At the same time, You XiaoMo, who was still hiding inside his room, could also heard those two
voices.

To think that he had thought he would need someone to report to him the battleground situation, and
yet he didn’t expect to hear it live, those two must have used a lot of power to talk this loud ah.

SheQiu who was lazily lying on You XiaoMo’s bed suddenly came out from behind the screen,
unexpectedly proposing the idea, “Master, want to go and see?”

You XiaoMo froze as he was holding a book, he tilted his head, “You are willing to take me
out?”

He thought that SheQiu wished he wouldn’t ever leave this room, to think that SheQiu would take
the initiative to bring him out. Something was absolutely wrong here, but he was really interested in
viewing the battle scene with his own eyes.

SheQiu nods, “Of course.”

Although he couldn’t figure out what he was thinking, You XiaoMo didn’t care, maybe he could see
Ling Xiao if he went to the battlefield, so he agreed.

Following along them also the Qiu team, they didn’t want to stay inside the space, of course
because they couldn’t see the fun if they stayed in there. You XiaoMo had no choice but to let them
out, then they all turned to their mini size, hiding inside his clothes.
To leave the peak, he must avoid Tang Fan’s men who had been sent to monitor him.

However, this is not a big deal to You XiaoMo, Tang Fan thinks he’s just a weak little mage, so the
spy he sent out is only a Star rank three star.

As long as he entered the space, and controlled the space slowly, moving to the mountain foot
where the Tian Xin Sect ’s square lies, he can reach there in no sweat.

But right at the moment You XiaoMo is ready to go out, a disciple of Earth Peak suddenly came for
him.

You XiaoMo recognized this guy, he is the one who swept Kong Wen’s courtyard, the last time he
went to meet Kong Wen, he also saw this man, seemed like he was called Zhu An something.

Zhu An said, “You-shidi, sorry for bothering you, but I need you to come with me, the peak
master wants to see you.”

You XiaoMo difficulty wrinkled his eyebrows, Kong Wen asking for him right at this period
probably didn’t mean any good. He asked, “Zhu-shixiong, do you know why shifu wants to find me? “

Zhu An emotionlessly says, “I don’t, You-shidi, just follow me and you will soon know.”

Ending his sentence, he seems to be certain that You XiaoMo can keep up with him, he turned
around and walked.

You XiaoMo hesitated for a moment, he reluctantly shook his head and follow him, his relationship
with Kong Wen really needed a work out, or else he would inconvenience his two shixiong who
would get caught in the middle. Besides, he had a feeling, if he missed this chance there wouldn’t be
any more opportunities.

The courtyard inside the compound is still the same as ever, unfortunately after a few months “the
surrounding remained but the people were gone.” ( t/n: It means that everything have change, some
remain, some lost).

Zhu An walked to the door, speaking with respect, “Peak master, I have brought the one you
asked for.”

After a while, inside the room came out Kong Wen’s gloomy voice, “You go outside and keep
watch, unless I have granted permission, don’t let anyone enter here.”

Zhu An replied “Yes, peak master.”

You XiaoMo pushed the door open and went in, he saw Kong Wen standing beside the window
with his hands behind his back, just like the last time, the only difference was that beside the window,
the level eight magic herb, Blazing Flower, was no longer there.
You XiaoMo walked behind his back, carefully asking, “Shifu, what do you need me for?”

Kong Wen turned around, his usual cold face now unexpectedly covered with a gentle smile,
looking at him with eyes full of kindness, as if he had always been a kind elder.

You XiaoMo suddenly had goosebumps all over his body, an alarm triggered inside his brain,
something was wrong with Kong Wen today.

Kong Wen laughed, “Don’t be nervous, little seventh, the reason I need you is mainly because I
want to have a chat with you.”

You XiaoMo’s mouth stiffened, he tried to put on a smile, “Shifu, what do you want to talk
about?” I must be dumb enough to believe you, chat? He can’t feel anything good about talking with
Kong Wen.

Kong Wen said, “Little Seventh, you have been in the Tian Xin Sect for about a year now, as
your shifu, I haven’t been able to teach you much, you won’t blame me, ba?”

You XiaoMo lowered his head, “No sir, I know you have been busy.”

As he spoke the last word, You XiaoMo deliberately increased the tone of irony inside it.

Kong Wen acted as if he didn’t understand, “Then its okay, but I didn’t expect that in less than a
year, your relationship with Da shixiong and second shixiong is even closer than the others. Not
only did Da shixiong disobey me for you, even the ever-cold second Shixiong spoke out for you,
which really gave me a surprise. Little seventh, can you tell this shifu, what benefits have you
offered to your two shixiong, so that they would start protecting you?”

You XiaoMo couldn’t read Kong Wen’s deep dark eyes, he took a step back, and said, “Shifu,
what kind of person do you think Da shixiong and second shixiong are? They are your
personally trained disciples, you must have been the one who is most clear about their
personalities. Do you think that they would throw away their life code just for some random
benefit?”

Kong Wen laughed, “Of course I should be the most clear about them, that is why I feel that it
is so strange. Why you, out of all the people, make my two pride disciples take your side, even to
the point of disobeying me?”

You XiaoMo said, “Shifu, you asked me, why don’t you ask yourself first? At first you took me
in as your disciple, and yet you ignored me. Da shixiong, because he noticed it, he started to look
after me more frequently. Later you started to make things difficult for me as much as possible.
You have never treated me as a proper disciple, and what do you think about that?”

Kong Wen noticed that his “You” had gone from formal to informal, his expression went grim in a
blink, “Are you complaining about me?”
You XiaoMo shook his head, “No, I’m not, I’m just speaking the truth.”

Kong Wen said, “The thing I regret most, the worst thing I have ever done in my life, is that I
accepted you as my disciple.”

You XiaoMo said, “Me too.”

Kong Wen eyes went cold, “You XiaoMo, I won’t beat about the bush with you anymore, as Lin
Xiao was imprisoned by the grandmaster, since you have a relationship with him, the
grandmaster will certainly not let you get away. If you want to survive, as long as you hand over
the items, I will guarantee you can safely leave the Tian Xin Sect.”

————————————————————————————————————————

t/n: In Chinese, the pronoun is much more classify than in English. The “you” momo used to call
Kong Wen before is a formal “you” ( Nin 您) ,which it a polite way to address someone with respect,
like how a waiter address customer as “ sir” or “madam”. Later Momo address Kong Wen as “you”
( Ni 你) but this pronoun is much more informal, as this It use to address stranger or someone is on
the equal with you. This pronoun is very impolite if you use this toward your elder, parent, teacher,
etc, …
Chapter 194

Chapter 194 – You XiaoMo’s Soft Spot

Motherfucker, finally he spilled the beans!

You XiaoMo had soon figured out that Kong Wen had another purpose for calling him here, after a
long wait, finally the cat was out of the bag.

Although, You XiaoMo was caught by surprise as Kong Wen’s words seemed to imply that he is
after something he owned. Has Kong Wen found out about his secret space?

Impossible ah, he has been extra careful up to now, beside Ling Xiao had also said before that he
already set up a barrier around his room. If Kong Wen secretly monitored him, Ling Xiao should have
found out.

You XiaoMo couldn’t determine whether Kong Wen had learned about his space or not, he had no
other option but to say, “What do you mean?”

Kong Wen squinted his eyes, “You don’t have to pretend, I already knew, with your
qualifications, if not for that item, it would be absolutely impossible for you to gain three levels
in just a year. I am now giving you a choice, do you want to take it out yourself or do you want
me to do it for you?”

You XiaoMo’s heart suddenly beat really fast, Kong Wen really is a sly fox. He had long suspected
him but still pretended as if nothing had happened. It seems that he really has found out about the
existence of the space and wants to claim it for himself, that’s why he stayed quiet about his discovery
until now.

At this moment, interrupting his thoughts was SheQiu’s anxious voice.

SheQiu said, “Master, you must not believe him, he is deceiving you, he doesn’t know about
the space’s existence at all, he is literally setting you up with words, don’t fall into his trap.”

You XiaoMo finally reacted in time, he lifted his head as he saw Kong Wen’s eyes sharply stare at
him, as if he was trying to find some clue from his expression. You XiaoMo was surprised a little, but
then quickly calmed down.

You XiaoMo said, “I also cannot fathom what you’re saying.”

Kong Wen laughed, his smile hidden with a creepy chill, solemnly saying, “I have given you a
chance, since you didn’t cherish it, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. You are about to die
anyway, even if you disappear no one would investigate it, maybe Tang Fan would even send his
gratitude to me as I help him finish you.”
Even though You XiaoMo denied it, but from his reaction, Kong Wen finally got the answer he
wanted.

This You XiaoMo, as expected he is hiding a secret, a quick level up method. If he could have it,
those geezers of Heaven peak would have to be humble before him.

Think of this, Kong Wen didn’t give You XiaoMo any chance to dispute, he had already decided
You XiaoMo is holding a sacred treasure, which is enough. Afterward, he raised his hand toward You
XiaoMo, grimly smiling. “Behave and take out that item, then I will see you as my used-to-be
disciple, and spare you from the hurtful death.”

You XiaoMo wanted to take a step back, but then he found out his body couldn’t move, he couldn’t
help but panic. Kong Wen really did have some underhanded tricks, no wonder he decided on this day
to finish him off.

Just right about when Kong Wen nearly caught him, a green shadow climbed out from You XiaoMo
clothes. This shocked Kong Wen and he wanted to take his hand back but it was too late. On the back
of his hand there now appeared two small bloody holes, as his red blood spilled out, it slowly had
become a greenish color.

Kong Wen screamed, he drew back a step and hit the desk beside him, which made all the pen
brushes on the table fall off and scattered on the floor. He panicked and looked at the green shadow
on You XiaoMo’s shoulder. He found out that that green shadow is a green snake in mini size curling
up on You XiaoMo’s shoulder, it’s bright red tongue flicks toward him.

Kong Wen raises his hand to take a look. He’s frightened to find out that the venom has extended to
the whole arm, if not for his quick action of protecting his inner core circulation system, he was afraid
that this venom would have spread further.

“What kind of snake is this?” Kong Wen’s pupil’s constricted and he glanced toward the thing on
You XiaoMo’s body, “You didn’t contract with just one demon beast right? This is also your
contract beast?”

If this was the level six Blue blood Wolf, Kong Wen himself could deal with it, he is a level eight
mage, his soul is capable of attack and defense, that is why he has confidence in dealing with You
XiaoMo. Unexpectedly, You XiaoMo didn’t contract with just one beast, since this snake could easily
breakthrough his defense, this one is absolutely above level eight!

Thinking about this, Kong Wen knew things had gone out of his control, at the moment he shouted
those words, he immediately rushed to the window. Before they had time to react, he had to run to
where there were lots of people.

But his intention is destined to fail, the windows that were previously opened suddenly slammed
down, a black shadow appeared in front of it, blocking his escape path.

Kong Wen was startled. He hurriedly rotated his footsteps to another direction to escape, but as he
turned around, the way was already blocked by another bewitching face person, MaoQiu.

All of the escape routes had been cut off.

Kong Wen’s heart sank, his facade couldn’t conceal his terrified expression.

Being a level eight mage, naturally he had recognized their true identity as demon beasts, but what
scared him was that most of these beasts here hadn’t reached level nine. Yet they are all in human
form, which indicated one thing, You XiaoMo must have the shape shifting herb. Not herb, but herbs.

Kong Wen quickly shifted his intention, this was not the time to seize the treasure, protecting
himself is the first priority.

The whole process only occurred in a brief moment, Kong Wen with his escape route being
blocked, blatantly shouted, “You XiaoMo, what do you want to do, you want to ‘disgrace your
teacher and annihilate your ancestor?’” (t/n: do disrespectful things toward the person who raised
you.)

Because Kong Wen deliberately shouted loudly, acting as if he did it unintentionally. Even Zhu An,
who was standing outside would definitely hear it, even the nearby people most likely could. If he
had expected the appearance of the demon beasts, how could he have not taken the time to prepare?
That why, the moment You XiaoMo came to the courtyard, they had already cooperated.

MaoQiu with a bewitching face as it gave away a sneering smile, “You don’t have to shout, this
room has been covered by my hallucination spell, outsiders won’t be able to hear anything.”

A demon fox is best known for its confusing trickery, and hallucination spells were one of their
specialties.

Although he had expected this outcome, but when he heard the answer, Kong Wen can’t help but
feeling disheartened, the hunter now had become the hunted.

Who would have thought that this used-to-be weak little mage now has become so powerful. In just
a short year, not only had he become a level three mage, but he had also contracted with four
powerful demon beasts. Really this was a ‘didn’t see for three days and have to change the treatment’
( t/n: have to see in a different light as nothing stay the same) situation. With this kind of fighting
strength, he could easily take over the south!

Kong Wen regretted this, but the dignity of a level eight mage didn’t allow him to bow down to his
disciple. When he thought of his two favorite disciples, his fear suddenly decrease little by little.

“You XiaoMo, if you let me go free today, I will treat it as if nothing has happened. Of course,
you can also choose to kill me, but in the future when your two seniors learn about this matter,
you think you can continue your relationship with them? Your brotherhood shall never be
reparable again!” Kong Wen coldly *heng* a sound.
When he finished his sentence, Kong Wen face had already calmed down by a lot. He believed You
XiaoMo relationship with his two disciples is his last card from being killed.

He has no choice but to admit, Kong Wen’s words indeed had caught You XiaoMo in his soft spot.

Until now the reason You XiaoMo hadn’t spoken a word was because of this thought. Kong Wen
can kill him without hesitation, but he can’t.

It’s not that he was afraid of accepting the ‘shifu murder’ sin, it was because he didn’t want to put
those who were nice to him in a tough spot. In this life, he might not have many friends, but his Da
shixiong, second and fifth shixiong had always been sincere to him.

Seeing him not uttering a word, Kong Wen knew he had hit the right spot.

You XiaoMo really cared about his brotherhood with his seniors, this way, although Kong Wen
might be at a disadvantage, but in the emotional aspect, he still has the initiative.

Kong Wen couldn’t help but put on a contented smile. “You XiaoMo, take away your demon
beasts, I will ignore what happened today, and you shall still be my good disciple.”

XiaoHei, MaoQiu and PiQiu immediately rolled their eyes at him, this old coot really is a “give
him an inch and he will take a yard” type. This egotistical man, he thought that their master would
be dumb enough to believe in his words?

Unfortunately fo Kong Wen, You XiaoMo is not dumb. However he was still having a hard time, to
kill or not to kill is the hardest choice he had ever encountered since he came to this world.

The atmosphere went silent for a while, SheQiu who had been staying on his shoulder, now
suddenly said, “Master, let me say a word, I think you treat your three seniors way too nice. Even
though they also take care of you, but on the scale speaking, they haven’t had a chance to treat
you better and yet you already gave them your best. Just think, is there any shidi with this
greatness, out of worry for their safety you even found three high level beasts for each of them.
Although I haven’t seen many different people, I can assure you, you are definitely the foolish
one.”

“You have given them too many blessings, even gone way passed the borderline of
brotherhood. If later they sever their relationship with you as they blame you for killing their
shifu, then I think they are not worthy of your goodwill. The shifu has abandon the teacher-
student bond to kill and steal, and you as the disciple have to just stand still and let your shifu
kill you? Moreover this shifu never gave you any affection. He even accepted you as disciple only
for a personal purpose. That is why, if they cannot sympathize with your situation, you should
just let the relationship die. Don’t feel regret about it, and I believe, if boss Ling Xiao is here, he
would also say the same thing.”

After listening to SheQiu’s analysis, You XiaoMo’s hesitation had disappeared and now he became
engrossed in something else. He looked at Kong Wen with the eyes full of thought, as if he is judging
what SheQiu said about Kong Wen, and whether it is right or wrong.

Kong Wen, standing on the opposite side, saw this face. His heart suddenly sunk low, his facial
expression becoming extremely unsightly. You XiaoMo’s resolve had been shaken by just a few
sentences?

If You XiaoMo really listened to the snake on his shoulders, then Kong Wen was in a very
dangerous situation.

——————————————————————————————————————–

t/n: the Qiu teams always use “Da ren” to call Ling Xiao. “Da ren” is an honorific given to those
superior than you, or the person you respect, with the meaning literally translated as “Big man”.

So rather keeping the same Chinese term, we changed it into boss.

Note from Ra: …….*whisper* Momo was the first to call Ling Xiao “boss”, not us, and he even
used it twice in English. While boss would always , erm,….. He flirtily called You XiaoMo as Xiao
MoMo, or sometimes Mo Mo, so we shortened it to Momo. (This can also mean peach in Japanese
and a peach emoji looks like butt and boss likes Momo’s butt. And I have lost my point again).

Viva la baka couple boss x momo forever!


Chapter 195

Chapter 195 – Kong Wen’s death

Kong Wen’s complexion kept getting worse over time, the fear in his eyes becoming more and more
revealing.

That damn beast, did he just say You XiaoMo, for his three seniors, even went through the trouble
and found three different high level beasts for them? How could this be possible, but he immediately
thought of Fu Zilin and Zhao DaZhou, beside Fang ChenLe, those two also had close relationships
with him.

Kong Wen’s mind instantly filled with anger.

Fu Zilin, his good disciple, even dared to hide the truth about his contract with a high level demon
beast, no wonder that day he publicly disgraced this shifu in the face, turned out he had already been
bribed.

Very good, very good!

What a waste, he spent nearly a decade to teach them wholeheartedly, and yet this is how they
repay him!

Kong Wen eyes suddenly filled with hatred to the bone, his eyes focused on You XiaoMo as his
face couldn’t help but twitch. All because of this person, if it wasn’t for him, his two beloved
disciples would never betray their shifu. You XiaoMo, the damn You XiaoMo, if he had known that
things would have come to this point, he should had just one hit killed him before everything began!

You XiaoMo let out a long sigh, he had to admit, what SheQiu said kinda made sense.

Kong Wen wanted to kill him, and he can’t just standstill, moreover Kong Wen had learned about
some of his secrets. If he let him live, it would only bring more trouble for him and Ling Xiao in the
future.

Kong Wen is a peak level eight mage, with his appeal, if he wanted to put a bounty on You XiaoMo
with a level eight magic pill as the reward, there would be tons of experts that would risk their life
for him. If that really happened, then they would have endless troubles following along.

As for the three high level beasts he found for his seniors, he didn’t want them to repay him or
some sort, he had done it voluntarily in the first place.

But he was amazed, Kong Wen intentionally chose this day to take action, because all the powerful
martial artists of the Tian Xin Sect wouldn’t be here as they are at the battle to fight. So even if he
laid his hand on his disciple, there will be no one here to find out. This moment was indeed a perfect
chance, but he didn’t know this could also be his one way pass to hell.
The war between the Qing Cheng Sect and the Tian Xin Sect, this day is not only a good day for
Kong Wen to finish him, but this could also apply to You XiaoMo, because he could push this crime
onto the Qing Cheng Sect.

He realized, ever since he got together with Ling Xiao, his heart has sunk darker and darker, should
he say that Ling Xiao’s strategy is a complete success? You XiaoMo can’t help but facepalm.

This action indirectly told everyone the answer in his heart, in addition to Kong Wen’s horrid face,
the XiaoHei bunch also got excited, their master should be cruel when the time called for it. Finally
they were willing to help their master!

“You XiaoMo, go and die for me!” Kong Wen knew he had resolved to kill him, he took the risk
and formed a massive soul force above his head.

When they thought that he would attack You XiaoMo, that soul force went straight to the roof that
was covered by barrier, this is truly a ‘Make a sound in the east, then strike in the west’ (t/n: to make
your enemy think of another direction while you attack in another way). All he needed is his soul
force to escape here so that the people outside would find out.

SheQiu kept his eyes on every move Kong Wen made, so he didn’t panic, he transformed from his
mini size to his bigger size, his tail quickly wiped toward Kong Wen. As his tail is his best, and
hardest part of his body, even if faced with another level nine beast, this tail could easily whip them
and make them fly. The defense of the mage that had yet to reach level nine is not worth mentioning.

Kong Wen’s soul armor, that he casted onto his body, in a blink has been torn apart. It made a
*puchi* sound, the tail accurately pierced through Kong Wen’s chest, the blood splashed everywhere,
the soul force that was charging toward the roof, since there isn’t anyone to control it anymore, it
immediately dispersed.

Kong Wen spat out blood and staggered back two steps, his body leaned on the wall as it slipped
down, the white walls now painted red by blood, even looking at it could give you a shock, after a
while his green robe also turned deep red.

A peak level eight mage like himself, if he hadn’t harbored any evil intentions, he could have lived
a glorified life for many years. But now this man has fallen, once again it reflected how cheap a
human life can be!

You XiaoMo’s face wrinkled like wasted paper, and ultimately gave out a reluctant sigh. If Kong
Wen hadn’t been greedy about his treasure and provoked him, You XiaoMo would never have thought
of taking his life.

Life is so unpredictable!

Xiao Hei came forward, he furrowed his sharp thin eyebrows, “What, soft hearted?”

You XiaoMo’s mouth twitched, who needed to be soft hearted over a dead corpse, that seems too
hypocritical, and he is not one like Ling Xiao. “I’m just thinking, if Da Shixiong knew about this
he would be very sad.”

Xiao Hei *heng* as he said, “So what, you just need to get rid of this corpse, and make the Tian
Xin Sect think that Kong Wen has just gone MIA.”

You XiaoMo thought a little, this idea is not bad, “Ok, but how do you plan to deal with this
body?”

Xiao Hei said, “Let me devour his body, a level 8 mage body is certainly a very nutritious thing
for me, maybe I can even gain a star after eating him.”

As he’s saying it, his body already in the position ready to come forth at anytime.

You XiaoMo got scared by him, quickly pulled him back, “No, no!”

Xiao Hei is dissatisfied, “Why not?”

You XiaoMo said, “No means no, there is no why not.”

He was already dead, and You XiaoMo is already burdened with the “teacher murder” sin,
although the one in the wrong was this shifu first, but if he also let his contract beast eat his body, then
this would be no different than a wild animal. This is not just for his own sake, but also for his
seniors, as they are in debt with Kong Wen’s years of effort of raising them. If they knew even his
body was not even in one piece, don’t even think about continuing to be a brother-in-arms anymore.

Having said that, the problem is still there.

He could throw the body into his space, but he didn’t want his space to be stained with blood, but
if he buried it here then it would be easily discovered.

SheQiu could see through his troubles and said, “Master, you don’t have to be troubled so much
over this body. Just let one of us take it away and get rid of it, we will find some faraway place
and bury it there.”

There wasn’t any other option, so You XiaoMo immediately said, “Xiao Hei, you go.”

Xiao Hei unwilling said, “Why me?”

You XiaoMo said, “I will give you another chance to thirst for this nutritious thing.”

XIao Hei, “…”

This is definitely holding a grudge against him!

Minority obeyed majority, in the end Xiao Hei against four people is undoubtedly defeated, and he
had no choice but to take the black bag with Kong Wen’s body inside away. He then used the fastest
speed to leave the Tian Xin Sect, with the hope he could get back in time to watch the battle.

After he finished cleaning up the holes and blood, MaoQiu finally took off the hallucination spell
outside. Zhu An is the only one left in the courtyard. SheQiu proposed to kill Zhu An too, but You
XiaoMo didn’t want to stain his hands further, moreover Zhu An so far hasn’t done anything to him,
that’s why if you can avoid killing then avoid it.

After that, MaoQiu used one of it’s spells to trick people into thinking MaoQiu is Kong Wen,
waiting inside the room. After You XiaoMo left, MaoQiu called Zhu An inside, and made an alibi.
You XiaoMo left while “Kong Wen” was still ‘doughty as a dragon and lively as a tiger’ (t/n: full of
vim and vigor).

When everything was in order, they finally went to the foot of the mountain.

In order to avoid the supervisor, You XiaoMo deliberately hid inside his space, moved the space
toward the foot of the mountain. Then he found a secluded place and finally came out of the space.

You XiaoMo had to disguise himself so people wouldn’t be able to recognize him. He changed his
original blue robes into a black coat, he even let down his bangs, even though there isn’t much change
overall, his aura has become more unrestrained and casual, a very heroic manner.

PiQiu stuck his head out of his clothes and said, “Master, you’ve become so handsome.”

You XiaoMo broadly smiled, “Really, I also feel like that.”

SheQiu lazily scolded, “A flatterer and a narcissist.”

MaoQiu also nodded.

When You XiaoMo reached the square, fortunately, the fight had just begun, the edge of the square
is filled with lots of practitioners that came here to watch, constantly whispering voice came from the
crowd, almost everyone’s eyes are focused on the people from the two sides.

Who would have thought, the Qing Cheng Sect and the Tian Xin Sect had just a few days ago joined
forces to eradicate the third largest force of the south, the XinLuo Sect. They had even managed to
damage the demons hard. Although people had expected that their cooperation wouldn’t last long,
they did not expect that they’d tear off the skin so fast. (t/n: to reveal facade, to betray)

Today, the story about how Luo ChengYuan brought his disciples to destroy the Tian Xin Sect had
almost caught the whole south’s attention.

Even though the XingLuo Sect has been destroyed, but the XiaoYao Sect and various other forces
still remained, even though they are second-rate sects, but to draw them here they needed a lot of
effort.

Therefore, Luo ChengYuan had a few days ago ‘handed out the olive branch’ to them (t/n: to ask for
ceasefire/peace/ alliance). Only the XieSha Sect accepted it, the XiaoYao Sect and the JiLe Sect just
gave neutral responses.

You XiaoMo walked to the center, he saw a familiar face among the warriors for today’s battles,
but he didn’t have deep impression of him. He vaguely remembered this one was also Lin Xiao’s
shidi, Luo something, as his relationship with Xiao Peng is neither good nor bad.

This Luo shixiong is still at moon level three star, his strength is nothing special, and yet he
appeared on the battlefield, so probably he’s just a dummy. Not long after, this shixiong quickly got
beaten.

His loss was not unpredictable, after all his opponent was a moon level four star martial artist.

But those two levels were still too low, their fight didn’t attract much attention.

After the opening fight finished, immediately various people cheered and shouted for the real
strong martial artists to step out.

The Qing Cheng Sect didn’t let them be dissapointed, between the people stepped out a dignified
man.

*The sect explanation has been moved to the LMW guidebook.*


Chapter 196

Chapter 196 – Three Imperial Martial Artists?

The man gracefully appeared, his vigorous heroic posture floating above the center square as his
robes leisurely floated along with the wind. Such a dignified and outstanding appearance surely has
captured everyone’s hearts.

He had just appeared and yet he immediately got all the cheers from the practitioners at the square.
This is the real battle everyone has been waiting for, compared to those minor brawls earlier, the
upcoming battle is undoubtedly pushing the atmosphere to the highest.

That mas was Luo ShuHe, as his recent limelight was even higher than his father’s.

Although he is only at the Star level two star, his life contract with a level nine demon beast
quickly made him jump up to the same table as Tang Fan, an Imperial level martial artist.

If he came out to fight, then the Tian Xin Sect is bound to send out another Imperial level warrior.
But as people saw on the surface, the Tian Xin Sect only had Tang Fan as an Imperial warrior, so
everyone continuously made guesses of who the Tian Xin Sect would send out to fight.

As he listened to the whispers getting louder and louder, Luo ShuHe’s face showed a faint smile,
his eyes swept across the Tang Fan side, and he slightly provoked, “Tang grandmaster, I shall come
forth in the third fight, I don’t know whether Tang grandmaster has any interest to ‘consult’
with me a little?”

Tang Fan’s complexion was still as calm as ever, even after hearing those words, he still casually
said, “Young master Luo, you are too confident about yourself, your Six Thunderbird has just
stepped into the level nine realm not long ago, if you want to challenge me, you’re still not
qualified enough.”

Those frivolous words suddenly caused an uproar among the crowd.

But this is not surprising, Tang Fan, after all has been famous for many years, his fame for his
fighting prowess and his strength compared to Luo ShuHe, who had just levelled up, is much stronger.
Those words are not an exaggeration.

Although he was publicly disgraced, Luo ShuHe didn’t get angry, on the contrary, he even slightly
smiled.

“Whether I am qualified enough or not it is not up to Tang grandmaster to decide. I’m ok


with it, you are not the one I want to challenge today. By the way, your eldest disciple Lin, it
seems like he hasn’t appeared for a long time now. I heard that he was locked up by you, is it
true?”
Tang Fan’s expression got slightly heavier, as if he didn’t want other people to mention Ling Xiao.
He coldly said, “This has nothing to do with your Qing Cheng Sect. ”

Luo ShuHe ignored his words and continued to say, “I heard that, Tang grandmaster locked
away Lin Xiao because of his shidi’s mistake. Since the incident might be about Lin Xiao being
an accomplice, that is the perfect excuse to get rid of him, right?”

Tang Fan eyes flashed with frosty intention, “Young master Luo, where have you heard such a
fictitious thing?”

Luo ShuHe answered, “You should know better than me if it is a true story or not. Tang
grandmaster, I quite sympathize with Lin Xiao –xiong actually, the ‘heaven’s prideful child’
(t/n: outstanding man, gifted man) is now being harmed by his shifu’s jealously, such a pity
ah!”

Tang Fan’s face twitched a little, he glanced at Luo ShuHe as his eyes gradually got colder and he
then shouted, “Nonsense!”

However, regardless of whether what Luo ShuHe said is true or not, the people gathered at the
square already were enticed by Luo ShuHe’s words. They gave out a few criticisms.

“Could it be? Isn’t Lin Xiao Tang Fan’s eldest disciple?”

“These past few years Lin Xiao has brought him a lot of reputation, and his talent is also
first-class, which certainly would be a great help to the Tian Xin Sect one day. Tang Fan should
have no reason to frame his own disciple, right?”

“Pft, like you know everything. Lin Xiao is the best candidate for the next grandmaster seat, and as
his power gets stronger, he would certainly gain even more supporters. Which also means that Tang
Fan, sooner or later, will have to step down. Try seeing things further, if Tang Fan is still in his prime
time right now, do you really think he would be willing to abdicate?

“Every man for himself, or else heaven shall destroy you.”

t/n: In a particular situation, one should do what is best for oneself but not for others.

“Looks like Tang Fan is not a good person after all, he has even laid his hands on his eldest
disciple.”

“I heard that Tang Fan accused Lin Xiao of colluding with demons and put him in prison, but
then Lin Xiao was at the paradise realm for a month at that time. As if he had the damn time to
work with demons ah!”

“Yes, I remember the first person to discover Luo Shan was a demon was Lin Xiao.”


The public’s opinion gradually leaned over to Lin Xiao’s side. A lot of people glimpsed at Tang
Fan with sneering eyes; even some of the Tian Xin’s disciples and elder He also wavered. They had
long been curious why the grandmaster had locked Lin Xiao away for no reason. Suddenly a hint of
suspicion toward Tang Fan arose.

One of the elders looked at Tang Fan with complicated eyes, “Grandmaster, they said…”

“Shut up!” Tang Fan didn’t wait for him to finish the sentence, he coldly scolded, “That is Luo
ShuHe’s provocation plan, and yet even you believe it. Don’t say you believe everything other
people say!”

The elder quickly turned red as he was scolded; he retreated back in line. Indeed, those doubtful
words came from Luo ShuHe’s mouth, he is the young master of the Cheng Sect, of course he would
want the Tian Xin Sect ‘to be at sixes and sevens.’ (t/n: to split up, or be torn apart).

Tang Fan withdrew his line of sight, he took a step forward, his eyes coldly swept through the
square. “Lin Xiao colluding with the demons is our Sect’s scandal, which has no relation to
anyone else. Which means to the Qing Cheng Sect as well, not even a tiny bit. If the young
master Luo has enough free time to worry about this ‘consequence of sin’s’ (t/n: sinful person)
safety, you might as well worry about yourself first. Great elder, I sincerely have to trouble you
this time.”

His sentence referred toward the senile looking old man standing between the people behind his
back.

The old man, with his hair and beard all white like snow, who obviously had a lot of age, had skin
like a seventeen or eighteen year old boy, glossy and snow white like it had been rejuvenated. This
old man is the same guy in the past that supported Tang Fan descent to the throne, he was the Great
Elder Yuan Mo.

It had been a long time since Yuan Mo had last appeared in front of people. Many people had long
forgotten his appearance and reputation. Even Tang Fan had to ask him respectfully, it was then
obvious this person is not an ordinary one.

Everyone followed Tang Fan’s line of sight, but in the blink of an eye, too short for their reactions
to keep up, Yuan Mo had already disappeared from where he stood, and he instantly appeared in front
of Luo ShuHe.

Yuan Mo’s muddy eyes stared at Luo ShuHe, a mature yet melancholy voice flowed from his mouth,
“‘Youngling surpasses the old’ (t/n: Younger generation will surpass older generation in
abilities), Luo ChengYuan really is lucky to have such a talented son. This old man won’t
blabber anymore, come forth.”

Yuan Mo’s current level, even though it was a hundred years ago, his level was at the seven star
Spiritual level. The path from Spiritual to Imperial is indeed a rocky road, but after all, a hundred
years have already passed, no one knew whether he had breakthrough into a full fledged Imperial yet.
Among the people at the center, SheQiu’s green eyes emitted a radiant glance, “This old fart, he is
also an Imperial level martial artist, but he only has one star. If he fights with the Six
Thunderbird, it will probably be a tie.”

You XiaoMo was surprised. “How do you know?”

SheQiu said, “He has been at a standstill at the one star for a hundred years now, and the Six
Thunderbird has just had a breakthrough to level 9 recently. His strength hasn’t stabilized yet,
not to mention he was also seriously injured not long ago. Thankfully that bird is physically
stronger, so it can make up at some parts. In the end, those two should be equal. If you don’t
believe me, just look at them yourself.”

As Yuan Mo just finished his sentence, Luo ShuHe also pardoned himself, immediately calling out
the Six Thunderbird.

The human form of Six Thunderbird is a handsome man, his facial features gave people lots of
feelings. Between his eyebrows, he gave out a ruthless and tyrannical aura of a demon beast. Since he
is a thunder property demon beast, his fighting capability is much stronger compared to other beasts.

That is why even though he just leveled up a while ago, just like SheQiu said, he probably evenly
matched Yuan Mo.

However, a battle between two Imperial level warriors cannot compare to other fighters battles.
Rock and dirt scattered throughout the grounds, the atmosphere got so tense, and even the thick ground
got blasted into a big pit.

Hidden between the crowds, You XiaoMo under SheQiu’s protection could still feel the aftermath
of the big battle.

While the others were focusing on the fight, You XiaoMo took out the transmitter stone,
unfortunately, the stone didn’t light up, which indicated Ling Xiao didn’t contact him.

You XiaoMo didn’t know where he was right now. Did his plan proceed smoothly or not?

MaoQiu next to him seems to recognize his thoughts. “Master, rest assured, boss is a very
formidable man.”

You XiaoMo heard MaoQiu’s consolation, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You
haven’t seen him yet, how do you know he is formidable?”

MaoQiu was silent. Of course an emperor beast is formidable.

You XiaoMo didn’t hear MaoQiu reply back, so he stopped asking.

Two hours later, on the square, the two figures that had been fighting non stop finally separated, the
outcome just like SheQiu had predicted. One man, one beast, both tied.
Their injuries were neither light nor heavy, but if they dragged out this fight, then both sides would
suffer, and have no choice but to stop.

Luo ShuHe called back the Six Thunderbird, his face turned grim, even though he had soon
predicted the result, he didn’t expect the Tian Xin Sect to really have a hidden trump card. If so, then
the Qing Cheng Sect had no more advantages in their hand. It would be best to say that they were
evenly tied.

On the side where the Qing Cheng Sect’s party stood, Luo ChengYuan was proudly standing in front
of people. His expression became unfathomably deep, no one can measure it. His abstruse eyes
moved towards his son’s standing, and he slowly sighed. “Tang Fan, the Tian Xin Sect will soon
have two Imperial level martial artists. You purposely hid this fact because you have been
waiting for me to come straight to your door, right?”

Tang Fan, who was standing on the opposite side, suddenly showed a sneering smile. His voice
slowly transmitted throughout the square, “Who said that the Tian Xin Sect only has two Imperial
warriors?”

Chapter 197

Chapter 197 – A Big Storm is Coming

Only?

Luo ChengYuan’s pupils suddenly constricted, he blurted out a voice that went hoarse all of a
sudden with a hidden trace of incredible shock. “Don’t tell me… the Tian Xin Sect has a third
Imperial martial artist?”

Following this sentence, all the noise among the square instantly went silent as their eyes trembled
with an extreme horrified astonishment. They looked at Tang Fan who had a calm expression on his
face.

After a brief silence, the crowd instantly burst out with the sound of fear.

“A third Imperial warrior? How can it be possible?”

“Since when did the Tian Xin Sect have a third one? How could I have never heard of the
news about the Tian Xin Sect having a newly leveled up Imperial warrior?”

“When a Spiritual level martial artist breakthroughs to the Imperial level, a big momentum
would have been greatly erupted. If the Tian Xin Sect has a third one, there should have been a
big sign that had shown up.”

“I’m afraid this time the Tian Xin Sect might become the one and only Sect in the south.”

If what Luo ChengYuan said was true, that the Tian Xin Sect really did have a third Imperial
martial artist, with Luo ChengYuan’s current level, he wouldn’t be able to handle two Imperial’s at
once. If he can only tie with Tang Fan, then if there was more than one person, as long as Tang Fan
held him down, then all the people he brought here today would die.

Luo ChengYuan’s face instantly became unsightly to the extreme, as he didn’t expect the situation
would have reversed. The spy he sent to the Tian Xin Sect did not have a low position. If the Tian Xin
really did have another Imperial level warrior, there was no way that person couldn’t have learned
about it.

Tang Fan’s expression didn’t look like he was lying though, there was only the explanation that the
existence was a third person that only Tang Fan knew. He could guess this through the Tian Xin’s
disciples and elders’ expressions, which obviously proved that even they didn’t know about the third
presence.

Behind Tang Fan, not far away, Yuan Mo gazed at Tang Fan’s figure, he suddenly wrinkled his
eyebrows, because he didn’t know whether what Tang Fan said was the truth or not.
Even though he was a Great elder himself, he was also clueless about it.

Tang Fan slowly walked a few steps forward, his eyes swept through the people inside the square
and finally landed on the people of the Qing Cheng Sect, but it was only just a quick glance. The way
he acted almighty and looked down on people like they were ants made a lot of people furrow their
brows.

“After today, in this land, the Qing Cheng Sect won’t exist anymore. In the name of Tang Fan,
I assure that to everyone, and the other forces, surrender or face your demise. The choice is in
your hands, but I only give you one day, by tomorrow, if no answer is given, then I shall see all of
you as an enemy!”

The atmosphere was lost in silence, only Tang Fan’s arrogant voice echoed throughout the sky,
slowly transmitting to everyone’s ears, as if everything had been decided for them.

“Motherfucker, this Tang Fan guy is getting too cocky.”

Among the people, You XiaoMo whispered a sentence, but it seemed like ‘someone’ had forgotten
the square was dead silent right now and his voice is not that small either…

To say “This Tang Fan guy is getting too cocky” in front of the person himself, it seemed like his
nerves were not small as well. Not only the people gathered here could hear it clearly, but up above
in the sky, even Tang Fan’s group could hear it.

A pair of eyes filled with surprise looked toward You XiaoMo’s direction, wondering who dared
to be the leader bird at this important moment.

t/n: when birds fly in a flock, there is one bird who will stand out as the flock leader to lead them.

You XiaoMo was so embarrassed that he wanted to join his ancestors.

Hidden inside his clothes were the four beasts who also had no words to say, it seems like a big
storm is coming.

Because You XiaoMo was in disguise, even his bangs were down, not many people recognized
him. Two months ago, outside of Demon peak as he and Ling Xiao kept fooling around, a lot of people
had seen his face.

However, a real strong martial artist, such as Tang Fan, with one glance, he could tell that this one
is You XiaoMo.

This little mage should have been monitored by his men, and yet he appeared at the square,
probably, You XiaoMo had escaped the surveillance and ran here.

Tang Fan faintly squinted his eyes, those eyes flashed a deadly intent.

As a disciple of the Tian Xin Sect, he dared to say the grandmaster’s name plainly, this You
XiaoMo really cannot stay.

Tang Fan felt a little regret that he didn’t finish this one off sooner. Hidden under his sleeve, his
fingertips suddenly shot out a secret attack.

Before SheQiu took action, that secret attack was soon discovered by Luo ChengYuan. Luo
ChengYuan also recognized You XiaoMo’s identity, even though he had only seen him once, his
impression of this little mage was quite deep.

As he saw Tang Fan attack this mage, inside Luo ChengYuan’s head popped up a plan, he
immediately blocked the secret move, and not only that, he deliberately created a big impact.

When the people’s attention had averted towards them, Luo ChengYuan immediately shouted.
“Tang Fan, such a waste for you to be the grandmaster, to think you don’t mind attacking a “too
weak to truss a chicken” ( t.n: weak and inexperienced) mage. You really have given the Tian Xin
Sect some face.”

A little mage had no value of strength.

Even if that sentence was likely to be unintentional, the fact that Tang Fan wouldn’t let a little mage
off the hook still remained. Such a narrow-minded person, how could he be qualified for the
grandmaster position? If people worked under him, wouldn’t that make everyday a day they were
living in fear?

In the moment, those forces which originally intended to surrender to the Tian Xin Sect’s side,
suddenly hesitated.

Tang Fan read through all the expression of the people, his face suddenly sunk.

Being preempted by Luo ChengYuan, he couldn’t say You XiaoMo was a Tian Xin Sect disciple, or
else the people gathered here would know he wanted to kill his own sect’s disciple. He was afraid
that other disciples and elders would harbor doubt toward him.

But if he could think to this point, then how could Luo ChengYuan also not think of it.

He didn’t wait for Tang Fan to speak, he continued, “Others probably don’t know but this little
mage is a Tian Xin Sect disciple. He only unintentionally let out some words and now Tang Fan wants
to kill him. Try to think a little, if such a man rules over you, what will happen to you all in the future?

One again an uproar broke out among the people.

Even the Tian Xin Sect’s side was also shocked by Luo ChengYuan claim. This little mage is Tian
Xin Sect disciple?

He had succeeded in becoming the focus of attention, You XiaoMo facepalmed, he was so done for.

He just wanted to secretly slip away. He did not expect Luo ChengYuan to expose his identity like
that, won’t this just push Tang Fan into murdering him sooner?

As expected, he immediately felt a gaze as sharp as a knife freeze him all over.

He looked up, obviously it was Tang Fan, his deadly stare filled with killing intent that even an
outsider could notice. After a moment, he moved his line of sight toward Luo ChengYuan, coldly
lifting up the corner of his mouth, “Luo ChengYuan, after I finish this one, it will be your turn
next.”

After he finished his sentence, his eyes returned back to You XiaoMo who just let out a sigh of
relief, casually saying, “You as a disciple of the Tian Xin Sect, publicly insulted the grandmaster.
You’re such an unfaithful person. With my position as the Tian Xin Sect’s grandmaster, from
today on, You XiaoMo is expelled from this sect!”

You XiaoMo pupils ferociously constricted, Tang Fan actually kicked him out, did he hear it right?

The crowd once again started whispering, Tang Fan seems to be the type who puts his face above
all others.

Lots of people looked at You XiaoMo with sympathy.

You XiaoMo’s eyes filled with tears, “SheQiu, what should I do? I got kicked out of the sect.”

SheQiu twitched his mouth, “He kicked you out of the door. His loss. There is nothing to grieve
about.”

Moreover you and boss will soon leave the Tian Xin Sect, isn’t this a much better situation ah, but
of course, he won’t tell You XiaoMo anything.

You XiaoMo cried, “But I never thought about being expelled ah, and this was too sudden.”

He had lived here for almost a year now, his seniors were all here, and he couldn’t abandon them.

SheQiu was speechless. Didn’t you already kill two important people of the Tian Xin Sect? Even
though it was indirectly, to think you haven’t thought about being expelled one day, sir, you must be
really dedicated toward the Tian Xin Sect ah!

But fortunately Tang Fan was blind, or else, later if boss wanted to take him out of this sect, it
would require some work.

This incident, he liked it!

But SheQiu didn’t intend to tell him the truth, he beat around the bush and said, “Then there is no
way. Tang Fan, this senile old fart, really kicked you out in front of all of these people. Just
accept the fact, but you should pity him a little, he’s already too old, inside his head is probably
filled with poop. Maybe the poop has blinded his eyes.”
Every sentence that came out was ‘poop this poop that’ without hesitation. But most importantly, his
voice is not small as well, especially when people’s attention was still focused on You XiaoMo, his
words were just like thunder strikes to the ear.

To think someone, in front of Tang Fan, would not only call him old, but he even said the inside of
his head was filled with poop. Who is this man ya, these words were too domineering! They felt the
need to bow down before him.

Addis Editor Note:

This last sentence is kind of hard to translate into English.

The original Chinese is 一定要膜拜!, this sentence is a famous Chinese gag line. The literal
translation would be “must worship’ or ‘must prostrate.’ However, even though this saying is not
actually referring to anyone, to translate it into English and have it sound better to non-chinese
speakers, we had to change the context slightly.

It’s like saying that someone unexpected took control of the situation and astonished them so much
that they felt the need to treat them with more respect. And, of course, with more respect in Chinese
terms this usually means to prostrate themselves as someone who is not as superior as that individual
they admire.

One of the reasons I did not use prostrate while rearranging this sentence was because K and I
agreed that it looked too much like prostate, and we couldn’t stop laughing. Because, must
prostate….yeah…poor, poor uke.

This is what 一定要膜拜, looks like:


Chapter 198

Chapter 198 – Tang Fan is an Idiot

Tang Fan’s face turned purple with rage. He has been Tian Xin Sect’s grandmaster gloriously for
hundreds of years, no one has ever been disrespectful or impolite to him before, let alone publicly
disgracing him in front of so many people.

Even though he could tolerate it, his expression said otherwise.

Tang Fan took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down the anger raging inside his heart. As
his eyes rose with a killing intent it was like a sharp arrow pierced through You XiaoMo and SheQiu.
Being disgraced by his own disciple in front of a crowd, if he didn’t give them a lesson today, even if
he won today’s war, he would still be the laughing stock of this continent.

“Who do you think you are to come here and cause a fuss, You XiaoMo. You bear a grudge
against me for expelling you. You even allowed your friend to speak such gibberish. If today I let
you two go, this grandmaster title of mine will be nothing but trash!”

Tang Fan stared at them, he no longer cared about how a grandmaster should behave anymore. Even
if it resulted in him being criticized for bullying the weak, he still wanted to kill both You XiaoMo
and the man next to him.

“Oh ho, that old fart is so ashamed that he got angry.” SheQiu laughed without any fear.

Tang Fan eyes instantly flashed with killing intent, he turned over his hand and blasted out a palm
force toward You XiaoMo.

The power of this technique took half of his spiritual power, the huge palm was surrounded by a
raging flame, carrying the pressure of an Imperial warrior as it blasted down from the sky.

In the eyes of many people, You XiaoMo and that man wouldn’t be able to survive.

If they dared to challenge an Imperial warrior, they must dare to accept the rage of an imperial
warrior. The existence of an imperial warrior is rare like a “phoenix feather and unicorn horn,”
half of their strength could easily kill a peak seven star Spiritual level, let alone a small mage like
him.

But surprises always come unexpectedly.

When all the people thought that the two would die under Tang Fan’s palm force, the man who was
just mocking Tang Fan earlier suddenly stood in front of You XiaoMo as he quickly punched out a fist.

A weird green aura was suddenly emitted. A *puchi* sound and the shot went straight to Tang Fan’s
palm force. In a blink, it heavily hit the force and all of the sudden, a big explosion came out from the
collision of the two energies, the aftermath caused the atmosphere to ripple.

Above the sky, Tang Fan’s expression suddenly changed and he immediately took a step back.

At the same time, that strange green aura turned into green arrows as it came out from the
explosion, targeting Tang Fan with super speed, in just the blink of an eye.

Tang Fan crazily pushed the spiritual power to flow inside his body. Fortunately he had prepared
beforehand, he quickly formed a thick shield made from condensed spiritual power in front of him.
However, when that green aura with a *puchi* sound struck his shield, it made many small holes on it.

In the square, people went completely silent.

Although no one knew what happened, those with sharp eyes saw it clearly.

Tang Fan used half of his energy and yet that man could easily dispel it, and even make a hole in his
spirit shield.

Everyone was horrified looking at the holes in Tang Fan’s shield, which was the shield made by an
Imperial level martial artist.

A few seconds later, the sound of gasping continued one after another. To break that kind of
defense, unless he were also on the same level, this unusual looking man, was he also a genuine
Imperial warrior? Some people couldn’t hold back and let out foul language.

“Fuck, that guy is too buff!”

“Since when did Imperial warriors start spawning everywhere? Ah, to think another imperial
warrior appeared again, it seems like they have become bok choy.”

“I bet, Tang Fan is definitely crying inside.”

“Me too, I bet Tang Fan is bleeding inside his heart right now, he just kicked out a disciple
that has an imperial level friend, such an idiot ah!”

People started to discuss one after the other, even Luo ChengYuan was also in shock as he looked
over at that guy, his eyes were filled with surprise.

As for Tang Fan, he was terrified from the inside out. You XiaoMo has an Imperial level man to
protect him? No wonder the aura surrounding him was a bit strange. He didn’t expect that man would
turn out to be an Imperial warrior, and not mention his strength is no less than his?

“I don’t know who you are, but this is a matter between me and that Tian Xin Sect’s disciple.
I have to ask you, sir, not to intervene. Even if you are an Imperial level martial artist, fighting
against two other Imperial at once might still be too much for you.”

Tang Fan, although he was endlessly astonished, he was, after all, still the head of a sect, he had to
quickly calm down. At the present, the Tian Xin Sect was still at the biggest advantage, if he angered
this man, causing him to switch sides to the Qing Cheng sect, then the scale would tilt and the gains
would not make up for the losses.

Only, Luo ChengYuan didn’t wait for that man to answer and he burst out laughing, a very apparent
satirical laugh.

“Tang Fan, your skin is really thick, this little friend here just got kicked out of your door, and
now you said he is a Tian Xin’s disciple? Must be a talent to say those words with your eyes wide
open.” As he ended the sentence, Luo ChengYuan immediately turned around and said to SheQiu,
“My friend, this lower man, Luo ChengYuan, as the head of the Qing Cheng Sect, if you are in a
dire situation, I’m very happy to help out.”

Tang Fan’s face suddenly got colder, and he gloomily looked at Luo ChengYuan.

SheQiu slowly smiled, these two sly fox’s intentions, how could he not know them. “Ha, you two
can say such nice words. Too bad you ask the wrong person.”

Ask the wrong person? Including Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan and the people in the square,
everyone started asking themselves this question.

SheQiu pushed You XiaoMo, who didn’t want to see anyone, forward. SheQiu evilly laughed, “He
is my master, so naturally he has the final say.”

Everybody immediately rolled their eyes as they stared at the uneasy You XiaoMo. This little mage
is the master of an imperial warrior? Since when were Imperial level martial artists so cheap to be
this little mage’s bodyguard?!

Right away, a voice of anger suddenly shouted out.

“It’s really you, Nine Winged Unity Serpent!”

Everybody felt a buzz inside their ear, Nine Winged Unity Serpent? Isn’t that a high level demon
beast? Following the direction of the voice, everybody recognized this sentence was said by the Six
Thunderbird.

At this moment, the Six Thunderbird was already in his human form, his angry face stared at the
man behind You XiaoMo. If he hadn’t had such a bad injury in the first place, his freedom wouldn’t
have been grabbed by chance by this practitioner.

Chaos! Too chaotic!

So that man is not a practitioner, he is a level nine beast!

SheQiu has soon guessed that bird would recognized him, and he didn’t deny it, he even generously
admitted, “Didn’t expect you to still be alive.”
Six thunderbird grinded his teeth, “Since you haven’t died yet, then how can I die so soon?”

No one noticed that Luo ShuHe’s face became excited, he has been suspecting that the Nine Winged
Unity Serpent probably was contracted to at least a level 5 mage. He never thought that it would be
this little mage.

If you put it that way, then that Emperor Blood herb definitely was also taken by him, and not only
just that, he probably also has something to do with the missing Elder Li too. Well, but then, he didn’t
have any evidence to prove it was his doing.

You XiaoMo listened to their conversation and he began to feel a headache coming on. “SheQiu,
don’t quarrel with him.”

He only came here for the fun, until today he had never thought that, one day, he would be in the
spotlight like this, he couldn’t digest this fact at all.

SheQiu also didn’t intend to make a fuss any longer, he promptly took a step back.

This action answered everyone’s question. This man truly was this little boy’s contract beast,
seeing how obedient he is toward him.

As for Tang Fan, his expression is like it had gone deep into a different world. There is a big
difference between having an Imperial warrior friend and a level 9 contract beast. Your friend can
ditch you, but a contract beast cannot, as both lives between the beast and its master were linked, it is
absolutely impossible for a beast to leave its master.

“My little friend You, with my position as the Great Elder, I have decided to annul your
expulsion from Grandmaster Tang, you are still a Tian Xin disciple.” The great elder took this
moment to suddenly open his mouth, his sudden words were like dropping a stone onto a calm lake,
causing a ripple among it.

This made people break out in shock, even though Yuan Mo rarely appeared in these past hundred
years, his prestige is much higher than Tang Fan. No one would dare to disobey his word, even Tang
Fan had to give him face. Today, in front of all the people, he publicly degraded Tang Fan, although it
may lead to Tang Fan harboring resentment, it was worth it if he was able to grab a level 9 beast to
their side.

Before the sentence was even finished, Tang Fan’s expression turned gloomy like water.

While people were waiting for You XiaoMo’s answer, he shook his head, “I’m sorry Great Elder,
I don’t want to return to the Tian Xin’s Sect.”

“Why?” Yuan Mo asked, “If it was because of Lin Xiao’s lock up, then I shall free him.”

You XiaoMo was surprised by that acknowledgment.


Tang Fan’s face became more and more twisted.

Nine Winged Unity Serpent (九翼灵犀蛇) : previously translated as Nine Winged Magic Horn
Serpent. The previous translation is not wrong, because 灵犀 really translate as Magic Rhino Horn.
But this term is a metaphor for “reputed to confer telepathic powers; fig. mutual sensitivity; tacit
exchange of romantic feelings; a meeting of minds; tacit understanding or comprehension”, or
explain in a simple way, the unity/understanding between one mind to another.

= no, SheQiu doesn’t have a horn, it means that his species is an intelligent type that you feel like
he can read your mind or like your mind is in unity with his mind.
Chapter 199

Chapter 199 – You Dare to Make a Move on My Man?

RaRa: The title has said it all! (/ ‘з’)/

Addis: I can hear all the girls (and boys) screaming happily.

“Great Elder…”

Tang Fan didn’t expect Yuan Mo could slaughter his face like that in front of so many people, he
looked at Yuan Mo unbelievably, his eyes saying everything.

“You shut up!” Yuan Mo didn’t let him finish his sentence, loudly shutting him down and coldly
looking at him, “Tang Fan, don’t you feel enough shame?”

Tang Fan’s face turned red from embarrassment. This is the first time Yuan Mo scolded him, not
only in front of people, not only that but also because of this little mage. Tang Fan lowered his eyes as
they flashed with a hint of shivering blood-thirst.

You XiaoMo replied, “No, that’s not the reason.”

Yuan Mo was a little surprised, “Then why?”

“Grandmaster Tang is a narrow man, for now, he will stop at kicking me out, or framing his
eldest disciple, Lin Xiao. However, in the future, he probably could go beyond that boundary.”
You XiaoMo responded. “Even though I just joined the Tian Xin Sect less than a year ago, I do
have some lingering feelings for the Tian Xin Sect. Although, Grandmaster Tang’s compassion
really can’t give it any compliments.”

You XiaoMo didn’t realize that the transmitter stone inside his clothes had been lit up for a while.

Being told like that, Tang Fan screamed, “You XiaoMo, you really are looking to die!”

You XiaoMo used a lot of guts to say those words, as he boldly faced Tang Fan’s sharp stare.
Actually, he’d rather be hiding behind SheQiu, those eyes are way too scary, but… SheQiu is holding
him down right now, he cannot run away.

Yuan Mo, who hasn’t said anything for awhile says “Tang Fan’s misconduct and bad deeds
really do not suit the grandmaster title…”

“Old geezer, in the end who are you helping?” Tang Fan stopped him right in the middle of his
sentence, as his voice became more twisted and gruesome, his face wrinkled up like an earthworm. It
was a very unsightly expression.
Yuan Mo’s face instantly sunk, “Tang Fan, do you know who you are talking to?”

Even though a hundred years ago, he was the one who had helped Tang Fan ascend to the
grandmaster seat that didn’t mean he will support every decision Tang Fan makes.

In fact, even before he had felt that Tang Fan was not suited for this seat because his heart is too
dark. In order to get rid of the thorn in his eyes, he was very likely to sacrifice any Tian Xin warriors,
everything was for his own benefit. This time was even more outrageous, after all the trouble of
raising two exceptional disciples, he couldn’t even ‘distinguish between red and blue or black and
white’ (t/n: can’t distinguish between right and wrong.) He had locked them in the death prison, and
obviously he didn’t want to set them free.

Now he even kicked out a disciple with a level 9 contract beast, how could Yuan Mo not know
about Tang Fan holding a personal grudge against this little boy? He was very disappointed.

“Well, old geezer, except you, who do you think I’m talking to, huh?”

As he had decided to tear off his mask, Tang Fan decided he no longer needed to hide his true face
anymore.

He has never been an upright type of person, the thing so-called ‘justice,’ that was just a facade he
put on.

No one expected that the situation would get worse and that it would turn into this kind of scene.

Yuan Mo’s face filled with anger, “Tang Fan, today I, the Great Elder, in the names of all the
Elders, remove you from the grandmaster seat! From today on, you are no longer the Tian Xin
Sect’s head!”

“Ha ha ha!” Tang Fan boldly laughed out loud with an ear-splitting tone, it echoed throughout the
square. Those people with lower power even had to cover their ears to protect themselves, as they
faces filled with pain. After a while, that wild laugh ended, and then a brutal voice spoke as it was
directed toward Yuan Mo. “Hey, old geezer, you really think that the Tian Xin Sect today is still
under your control? Let me tell you, dead bones like you have no right to speak. As the Tian Xin
Sect is already in my palm. These many years I still gave you my respect only because you used to
help me, or else I would have killed you a long time ago.”

“You, you, you… Such ‘major immoral betrayal’! Disgracing your predecessor!” Yuan Mo
was so angry he couldn’t speak properly.

“So what?” Tang Fan slowly, softly said, “Today no one shall leave here alive, be prepared to
become the first offering.”

Offering?

This sentence suddenly caused a big disturbance, they couldn’t make sense of what Tang Fan had
just said.

Yuan Mo’s face twisted, “Tang Fan, you really have a problem after all. When the second elder
told me, I still didn’t believe it. The third Imperial warrior you just spilled out, in fact, it was
your brother Tang Zhen, correct?”

“Old geezer, you still have some brains left, ah.” Tang Fan sneered, “but it is too late. No one
can stop me from dominating the Long Tian continent now. ”

“In your dreams!” Yuan Mo coldly shouted.

“Dream or not, you just need to wait to find out.” Tang Fan, after coldly finishing this sentence,
he also stopped bothering himself with Yuan Mo.

He suddenly screamed out.

In an instant, his energy power rose up insanely, that vigorous energy slowly drifted out from his
body, and warped the atmosphere around nonstop. Even with naked eyes, people could see the
spiritual energy rapidly flowing into his body. He then ripped off the fabric on his left hand, revealing
a dragon tattoo wrapped around his arms. As if it came back to life, the little golden dragon flew out
of his arm and shot straight up into the air.

What happened next was a one in a lifetime scene no one could forget.

Originally Tang Fan’s level was at two star Imperial level, but then his strength crazily shot up with
a maddening speed and made its way to three star. But it didn’t stop there, by the time it reached to
four star the speed started to slow down, and then stopped at peak 4 star.

Not a single witness understood what it meant.

Tang Fan really had hid his real strength, his true level is a peak 4 star Imperial level.

At that moment, people couldn’t say a word, all the people from the Qing Cheng Sect were
overwhelmed with shock as they stared with eyes wide open, especially Luo ChengYuan, his eyelids
trembled with fear.

Tang Fan closed his eyes to enjoy this comfortable feeling of gaining back his strength. He let out a
sigh, he had been suppressed it for so long, to finally release it…this feeling was too awesome, and
not to mention, he also enjoyed all those horrified expressions.

Tang Fan opened his eyes and he leaned his head to glance at Yuan Mo’s shocked face. He laughed
evilly. “Old geezer, rest assured, after I finish You XiaoMo and his contract beast, I will take
care of you!”

Having said that, his figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood and in the blink of an eye,
he reappeared in front of You XiaoMo.
SheQiu had set his eyes on Tang Fan since the beginning and after hearing his declaration, he had
firmly stayed alert. So when he saw Tang Fan disappear, he first pushed You XiaoMo away, then he
looked up to the sky and hissed a sound as his true form was revealed. A big Nine Winged Unity
Serpent almost covered half of the sky, with its dark green body rolled into a circle.

Such a magnificent sight.

Demon beasts can level up fast in human form, but in the end the original form is still more
powerful. Since SheQiu’s level is level nine three star, it was less than Tang Fan by a star. In the case
he couldn’t control the situation, he won’t take the risk.

You XiaoMo shockingly looked at the war between man and beast.

MaoQiu and Xiao Hei had turned back to their human forms, each person took an arm and
immediately took him away from the battlefield.

Although You XiaoMo could hide inside the space for refuge, that just plain dumb as it would
expose the space existence to everyone. You should know, when it comes to benefits, any
practitioners would go crazy with madness for it.

So they decided to drag their master to an unoccupied field, so he could enter the space.

But the ideal is rich while the reality is weak!

Tang Fan was determined to kill You XiaoMo, that’s why he didn’t need to confront the Nine
Winged Unity Serpent, even though his strength is higher than him by one star. The Nine Winged Unity
Serpent is a rare lineage of high-level demon beasts, if that snake went all out, even he probably can’t
deal with it that easily.

SheQiu made a miscalculation. He didn’t expect that Tang Fan would think like that.

Since SheQiu’s true form is not as quick as his human form, plus Tang Fan’s strength is higher, Tang
Fan easily shot passed SheQiu.

“You XiaoMo, die!”

Behind his back, Tang Fan proudly laughed.

You XiaoMo turned around to see and saw Tang Fan’s sarcastic face as he dived down from the
sky, rushing straight toward him. He was only a few kilometers away and yet in a blink, Tang Fan
appeared in front of him…

Tang Fan fiercely laughed, under every person’s shocked eyes, Tang Fan pulled a fist toward You
XiaoMo.

A fist from an Imperial martial artist, even Xiao Hei and MaoQiu cannot withstand, not to mention
You XiaoMo, he didn’t even have the time to blink. As he saw Tang Fan’s fist ready to fall on him, a
shocking thing happened.

A giant fire pillar rumbled from the ground and rushed out to the sky. All of a sudden that soaring
fire swallowed up the fist force, and it shot straight to the sky. Its heat and power submerged the
whole area in bright red.

Everybody was terrified, why are there flames from below the square?

But what shocked them more, was that inside that scorching flame appeared a slender figure
floating in midair. His face wasn’t clear, but his body let out the strong aura of a martial artist that
makes everyone’s hearts palpitate. With his proud posture and his white robes elegantly drifting
among the flame, it made everyone see a god high above in the sky, noble and elegant.

At this moment, the man stretched out his hand from inside the flame, casually catching Tang Fan’s
fist, his domineering voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

“You dare to make a move on my man? Do you have a death wish?”

T/N:

major immoral betrayal = to commit treason and heresy

disgracing your predecessor = do disrespect things toward the person who raised you.

Random Addis note:

So this entire chapter, I was seeing Tang Fan like an evil Super Saiyan. I mean…who else screams
and powers up at the same time? A super saiyan, duh. Can’t you just see him standing there with his
fists clenched in the air, screaming, as if he’s super constipated? All you need to do is fart, Tang Fan.
Come on.

Chapter 200

Chapter 200 – Revealing the identity

A domineering voice spread throughout the area from above to the very bottom corner.

The square sunk deep into silence, the whole vast sky now felt like there was only the man’s voice.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.

Dare to make a move on my man!

Don’t say that this “my man” is the expelled You XiaoMo, ba. Before it was the level 9 beast Nine
Winged Unity Serpent, and now appeared another man that could catch Tang Fan’s fist force with no
difficulty, which clearly indicated his strength is higher than Tang Fan.

This You XiaoMo, what kind of god are you, to have Imperial level martial artist appear beside
him one after the another?

Tang Fan’s face completely distorted as if he still couldn’t hide his horrified expression.

The others may not have noticed, but Tang Fan is only one arm away from that man, so he could see
the face clearly, plus that familiar voice, Tang Fan immediately recognized the identity of that man.

“You…You are…Lin Xiao?” Tang Fan frighteningly shouted.

This sentence was like dropping a stone into calm water.

Everybody stood petrified as if they were struck by lightning, they maintained their posture for one
second, and then stiffly looked toward Tang Fan’s direction. Everyone went silent for another few
seconds, and finally their inner thoughts escaped. No one knew who was the first one to curse.

“Fuck, am I having a hallucination right now?”

“Am I having an hallucination also, did Tang Fan really just say Lin Xiao?”

“Fucking dammit, what with today’s events? The later ones are even more shocking than the
previous ones This is too much info for me to consume.”

“Can someone tell me the truth? Isn’t Lin Xiao only a Star level? Since when did he become
more powerful than Tang Fan?”

“Mother lord, those teacher-student duo… One compared to the other is even more bizarre,
both have hidden their own strength, but the true dreadful one is Lin Xiao, jumped from to Star
level to even pass his own shifu. He has not yet reached a hundred years old, right?”

“No, you are not Lin Xiao!” Tang Fan tried to convince himself in order to break that ‘unreal’
image, violently shaking his head. His eyes shined like a torch as they scorched Ling Xiao. With a
twisted face, he said, “Lin Xiao’s talent is not bad, but it is absolutely impossible for him, in a
short period of ten years, to achieve Imperial level. A dozen months ago I already felt something
was not right. No matter how much one person can change, it is impossible to change their
personality completely.”

Hearing Tang Fan’s words, Ling Xiao raised his lips and showed a freaky smile. When he tried to
speak, Tang Fan suddenly used his other hand to attack him, Ling Xiao followed along the action and
loosened his restraint.

Once his hand was set free, Tang Fan immediately retreated like a frightened rabbit, until he felt the
distance was safe and then he stopped.

Ling Xiao, from the beginning to the end, didn’t take any advantage to chase Tang Fan, whatever
happened, he was still nonchalant and superiorly still. Ling Xiao’s smile didn’t fade, as his
unchanged face jeeringly looked at Tang Fan, as if he was watching a dancing clown.

As for the flame that surrounded him, when he raised his hand, that flame seemed to be called back.
It slowly faded until it completely disappeared, revealing a very familiar figure and face.

Standing not far away, Luo ChengYuan stared at Ling Xiao for a while, and finally let out a sigh of
relief.

Luo ShuHe came to his side and whispered, “Dad, is he really not Lin Xiao?”

Luo ChengYuan shook his head, said, “Yeah, I have met Lin Xiao a few times before, there is a
big difference between this man’s aura and Lin Xiao’s aura. Before, I couldn’t recognize it
probably because he was deliberately holding back his aura. I’m afraid that this one’s strength
is even way above me.”

The color on Luo ShuHe’s face changed even more.

“However, for now we don’t have to worry, Tang Fan and this person seem to be in a not-so
small dispute. We should observe the direction of this situation first, if I’m not wrong, this time
Tang Fan is probably trapped in a big disaster now.” Luo ChengYuan spoke those words with a
face that couldn’t help but reveal a trace of joy.

“I hope so…” Luo ShuHe looked at that man with his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

On the opposite side Tang Fan was standing with a frozen expression as he looked at Ling Xiao. It
was not like he never thought about the fact that Ling Xiao is an imposter, but he never thought that
Ling Xiao’s ability was higher than his. Such a strong warrior like him, why did he have to pretend to
be Lin Xiao and lurk in the Tian Xin Sect. Tang Fan couldn’t think of any reason, so then, maybe, there
was something inside the Tian Xin Sect that had attracted him.

Tang Fan took a deep breath, he forced himself to suppress his anger down, and he looked at the
man before he slowly asked, “In the end, who are you? Why are you hiding inside the Tian Xin
Sect?”

Ling Xiao laughed, “Who I am is not important, as for the purpose, well, why should I tell
you?”

Tang Fan gloomily asked, “The grudge between you and me is only because of Lin Xiao.
Strictly speaking, you and me, we basically have nothing to do with each other. I know you must
be looking for something here, I am the grandmaster of the Tian Xin Sect, if you are willing to
leave now and not take part in today’s war, I shall give you the things you want with my own
hand.”

Ling Xiao *pft* a sound and laughed, this old fart really is self-righteous, but he did guess it right
though, Ling Xiao generously admitted, “Indeed, I’m looking for a person.”

Inside Tang Fan was joyful, but it didn’t show on his face, his tone is a little eager. “Who are you
looking for, as long as you say the name, I shall immediately send him to you, furthermore, I
shall make that one not dare to resist.”

Ling Xiao had yet to make a sound and Yuan Mo quickly shouted out loud, “Tang Fan, you are not
the head of the Tian Xin sect anymore! You have no right to decide the disciples of the Tian Xin
Sect’s life or death matters.”

“Shut up old geezer!” Tang Fan angrily turned around and shouted, this geezer dared to destroy
his call for business. Out of all the things he needed to resolve, he must erase this old man first.

After he finished the sentence, he turned back to Ling Xiao, and said, “Well, who is it that you
want?”

Ling Xiao jokingly looked at him, under everyone’s curious gaze, he looked down at You XiaoMo
whose eyes were wide open. He gave him a smile and instantly stretched out his hand. Some kind of
energy was released from his action, that energy lifted You XiaoMo up and brought him in front of
Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao reached out and held You XiaoMo’s waist, with an intimate gesture he brought You
XiaoMo to his chest. Under You XiaoMo’s stare, he slightly smiled at him and then looked at the
anxious Tang Fan, sneering, “Grandmaster Tang, this little mage is the one I’m looking for.”

Tang Fan eyes twitched a few times, his old wrinkly face suddenly cracked.

The audience down below watching this scene, some of them could hold in their laughter. Then one
laughed out loud, and if there is one, then there will be second and third…and so the whole crowd
burst into laughter.
That ever-serious face Yuan Mo, this time he couldn’t help but laugh loudly, “Tang Fan, ah, Tang
Fan, the moment you kicked him out, you probably didn’t expect that you would have cut your
last life-saving straw by your own hand! What retribution, ah!”

“Shut up!” Tang Fan angrily roared at him, he finally understood that the man is simply playing
with him, no matter who he wants, he did not intend to reconcile.

If things have come this far, Tang Fan knew this fight was inevitable now, so he didn’t hesitate for a
moment. He clenched his fist and let out a big shout, next, an enormous aura burst out from his body,
this aura caused the whole spiritual energy of the area to become turbulent.

Under this pressure, the people in the square felt a lag in their breathing, like a hundred ton boulder
dropping onto their body. They couldn’t help but be terrified, a peak 4 star Imperial level martial
artist was really dreadful. If it was not for the unforeseen event earlier, perhaps they wouldn’t be able
to avoid this calamity.

“I don’t know who you are, but those who go against me, I shall not let them pass, even you
also, wait for your death!” Tang Fan grinned as he looked toward Ling Xiao.

Before, he thought that rather than having an Imperial level enemy it was better off to be without
one. That was why he had to ignore his anger and had offered a condition, but he didn’t expect this
person to not even care an inch.

He didn’t excuse himself anymore, even though he was indeed afraid of his strength, it was not like
he didn’t have any trump cards.

When he reached this thought, Tang Fan suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, “Tang Zhen,
come out now, let these people here witness the power of us brothers!”

Luo ChengYuan’s group immediately raised their guard as they looked around.

After a few seconds, there was still no one in the square responding to his words. The square was
so quiet that you could hear one’s breathing, but soon a whisper broke out.

“Don’t say, perhaps, Tang Zhen was so scared, he didn’t dare to come out?”

“Impossible, I heard that the Tang brothers are very close to each other, to the point of giving
up the head seat to the other.”

“Who said it was impossible, to lose the title and to lose your life is a big difference.”

Tang Fan was angry, he absolutely didn’t believe that Tang Zhen would leave him alone to escape,
not to mention they even have a bigger hidden trump card, this fight is not a fight that they didn’t have
a chance to win, that was why he didn’t resign and called out a few times more.

Opposite of him, Ling Xiao was stroking the bristling You XiaoMo while he lightly laughed,
“Don’t bother calling, no matter how hard you try, he won’t show up.”
