บท 50: Mo Sha
บรรณาธิการ: Misty Cloud Translations
What piercing eyes!
Being stared at by that man, Sima You Yue felt as if she had been frozen.
The aura coming from his body was stronger than Wu Lingyu, who had recovered his strength, by who knows how many times.
Sima You Yue calmed her heart, took the hammer and knocked on the Spirit Stone, saying, "I have had a lot of guts since I was born, but according to what you said just now, you're not a human?"
"Hmph, I am from the noble Devil Clan, how could I be compared to you low class humans!" That man said.
"Devil Clan?" Sima You Yue picked up the Spirit Stone and stood up, sizing him up, saying, "Looking at your ambiguous appearance, you don't look like a human at all. I didn't that you were actually from the Devil Clan. However, why would someone from the Devil Clan end up living here, even wandering over to this place?"
"Hmph! Listening to the mockery behind Sima You Yue's word, the man immediately turned his head to the side.
"What is your name?" Sima You Yue asked.
He ignored her…
"I can't call you heyheyhey forever, right? Or else I would be treating you like a cat or dog." Sima You Yue said.
The man pouted, saying, "Mo Sha."
'Mo Sha... As expected, it's a Devil's name. Sima You Yue said, "That time was it you who set up that Illusion Array?"
Silence.
There was no way of confirming it with him.
"Looks like it was." Sima You Yue said, "A person like me has many plans for revenge. Towards someone like you, who has locked me inside that Illusion Array for such a long time, how do you think I will settle this grievance?"
While speaking, she used her hammer to knock lightly against the Spirit Stone in her hand.
Mo Sha looked at what Sima You Yue was doing and his gaze turned dark. He suppressed his anger and said, "How do you want to settle it?"
"The fact that you are in charge of this little stone shows that you are stronger that the average person. Shouldn't you give me some benefits?" Sima You Yue said lazily.
Mo Sha looked at Sima You Yue for a long time, his gaze also slowly started to clear. After a little longer, he opened his mouth to speak, "You want some benefits, this isn't impossible. But you have to promise me one thing."
"What?" Sima You Yue asked.
"Before I find my physical body, I want to stay here." Mo Sha said.
"This is no problem." Sima You Yue nodded.
This Spirit Pearl was so big, it would be no problem no matter how many stones of this kind were placed inside.
"I haven't finished." Mo Sha said.
"Then you should continue." Sima You Yue touched her chin as she watched him while she pondered about what kind of benefits he would be able to bring to her.
"You have to help me find my physical body!" Mo Sha said indistinctly.
"You wish!" Sima You Yue could not help but cry out when she heard it, saying, "The heavens and the earth are vast, where would I go to find your physical body? I don't even know how to go to your Devil Realm!"
"My physical body may not necessarily be in the Devil Realm." Mo Sha said.
"Why?" Sima You Yue asked.
"At that time, when my soul was forcibly separated, half of it entered this place while another half has probably reincarnated." Mo Sha said, "However, my reincarnation may not necessarily be from the Devil Race."
"Then wouldn't I be even more at a loss of where I should go to find it!" Sima You Yue said.
"Even if you cannot find it, you still have have to try. If I help you do things, it's obvious that you have to repay me sufficiently!" Mo Sha said.
"First tell me what the benefit is, see whether it's capable of enticing me to agree to your demands." Sima You Yue's eyes were spinning as she said.
"Imperial Art of Beast Taming." Mo Sha said indifferently.
"Imperial Art of Beast Taming?" Little Spirit was at a corner when he shouted out, "That's a really good thing, Master you must quickly agree!"
"It's just the Imperial Art of Beast Taming. Although Beast Tamers are rare, there's no need for me to know this thing before I can become a Beast Tamer. Since I have to do so many things in return, it's not worth it." Sima You Yue shook her head as she said.
"The Imperial Art of Beast Taming is something from the ancient times!" Mo Sha said.
"From the ancient times?" Sima You Yue narrowed her eyes at Mo Sha, saying, "So what?"
"Are you stupid, the Beast Tamers right now all use such simplistic methods, they only know how to tame the beasts. The Imperial Art of Beast Taming is more powerful than those methods by more than a hundred times!" Little Spirit pulled Sima You Yue to a side, saying, "My ex ex ex master had spent his entire life searching for the Imperial Art of Beast Taming, but until he died, he never managed to find it."
"Is it really that great?" Sima You Yue could not believe it.
"Of course it's great!" Little Spirit affirmed, "The most important thing is, this Imperial Art of Beast Taming has been lost for a long time and is completely impossible to find right now."
Mo Sha looked at Sima You Yue and Little Spirit muttering to each other at the same and knitted his eyebrows together, saying, "Quickly make your decision!"
"Fine then." Sima You Yue hugged Little Spirit and massaged him twice, saying, "Let's do it according to what you've said. The deal is complete!"
"Good!" He had barely finished speaking when he floated in front of Sima You Yue, giving her a kiss on the lips when she was off guard.
"What are you doing?!" Although there was no physical feeling, Sima You Yue still retreated a step back, glaring at Mo Sha.
"Sealing the deal!" Mo Sha said, "This is the way we do it in our Devil Clan."
"Then there's no need for you to do this!" Sima You Yue said with a black face.
"I'm just a Spirit right now, this is the only thing I can do." Mo Sha said.
Sima You Yue had rage that she could not release and could only forcefully wipe her lips, causing her lips to become even redder.
"What about that Imperial Art of Beast Taming that you talked about?" She glared daggers at Mo Sha as she asked.
Mo Sha looked over at her red lips and entered the Spirit Stone, saying, "Put this Spirit Stone on your forehead."
Sima You did what he said. When the Spirit Stone came into contact with her forehead, she felt that something had entered into her brain, causing it to hurt. It was only after a long while that she recovered.
"This jerk must have done it on purpose!" She said, as she held her forehead
"Master, quickly try out that Imperial Art of Beast Taming!" Little Spirit said.
"Okay." Sima You Yue closed her eyes. She only felt that her brain contained some information that she never had before. Her brain was currently appeared to contain a book, and on its cover the words 'Imperial Art of Beast Taming' were inscribed in gold.
When she had organised that information, she realized that this information was definitely of a higher quality. The most impressive thing was that the Spirit Beast that used the Imperial Art of Beast Taming, when he had formed a contract with its owner, it could increase its own strength. Further, in the future when the owner had increased in rank, the Spirit Beast would also increase in rank.
"Damn, it can actually increase in rank. This is something I've never heard of before!" Sima You Yue called out after she had finished reading it.
This Art of Beast Taming is very simple, it uses the same method as other methods of Beast Taming but because taming a Spirit Beast required a lot of Spirit Energy so only when she had increased her own Spirit Energy would she be able to tame higher ranked Spirit Beasts.
"We should try catching a Spirit Beast with this." Sima You Yue said happily.
"Don't forget about our agreement!" Mo Sha said from the Spirit Stone.
"I know!" Sima You Yue frowned, saying, "You have this kind of ancient thing and you could even live within this small spirit stone for so many years. You must have been a very powerful person in the past. Why don't you tell me what your identity was, it'll be easier for me to look for your you based on your identity and status!"
"When I meet him, I will be drawn towards him. I will naturally tell you when that time comes!" After saying this, he refused to say anything more. The Spirit Stone also stopped shining.
"Tsk-" Sima You Yue threw the Spirit Stone over to Little Spirit, saying, "Help me keep this safe."
Little Spirit wished it away, and the Spirit Stone disappeared in front of them.
บท 51: Pill Refining, Round One
บรรณาธิการ: Misty Cloud Translations
After settling Mo Sha's issue, Sima You Yue was in a good mood.
"Little Spirit, I remember you telling me before that you had a master who was an Alchemist, right?" Sima You Yue hugged Little Spirit as she asked.
"That's right, a very long time ago, why?" Little Spirit asked
"I want to learn how to refine pills, do you know where the books on pill refining are?" Sima You Yue asked.
"You want to learn how to refine pills? Then would I have many pills to eat in the future?" The moment Little Spirit heard what Sima You Yue said, its eyes started to shine.
"Do you really like to eat pills?" Sima You Yue asked.
"I do!" Little Spirit nodded his head, saying, "I've already eaten all the pills that my previous master had left for me, that's why there are no pills inside the Spirit Pearl."
Eh-
Sima You Yue had her suspicions long ago. Since there was an owner who used to be an Alchemist, it was strange that the Spirit Pearl didn't even have a single pill! So it was this guy who that had eaten them all!
"Master, I'll take you to go look for the books." Little Spirit said as he pulled Sima You Yue and they disappeared. In the blink of an eye, they appeared inside a house.
"Master, all the books in here about books on pill refinement, this is the collection that belongs to the previous Master. I've heard him say before that there are many books that belong to the ancient times! There are also many methods of pill refinement that have gone extinct." Little Spirit said at it pointed towards the house full of books.
Sima You Yue took a look at the books inside the room. There were piles of it that filled a room. No need to mention ten thousand, there were hundreds and thousands of them.
"There are so many books, do you know which ones are for beginners?" Sima You Yue asked.
Little Spirit shook his head. He had never read these books before, how would he know.
'Oh, right!" Little Spirit thought of something and suddenly disappeared from within the house. When he had reappeared, his was holding on to a pill furnace.
"Master, this is the pill furnace that the previous Master left behind. After reading these books, you can use this pill furnace. If you need any pill ingredients, you can find them everywhere in the ground outside. The previous master had gathered so many different kinds and I've preserved them all."
It was the first time that Little Spirit had been so warm towards her. Sima You Yue's mouth pulled into a smile. This guy appeared to love anything related to pills.
After taking a look at the bookshelves, which filled the whole house, she decided to first look for the books that catered to the beginner before doing anything else.
So she spent the remaining time to look over the books in the house once over, taking out all the books that were suitable for a beginner. After that, she took them to the table and began to read earnestly.
Actually, the method of pill refining was actually not difficult. It was basically divided into 3 steps, purifying, fusing and binding. However, these 3 steps stumped thousands upon thousands of Spirit Masters.
Purifying- this was done by purifying the essence of the pill ingredients. One needed attentiveness and patience in order to do this.
Fusing sounded easy. It was done by fusing the purified essences of the pills together. This step may seem easy, however, each pill had its own fusion sequence. One had to pay particular attention to what ingredient went in at what time. It was not like you could just pour all the ingredients together.
Furthermore, if one could not master it well, there was a chance that it might even explode. Besides wasting pill ingredients, it was also dangerous for the Alchemist.
The third step was the most important step of all, Binding.
If the previous two steps were successful, but the binding stage was not, the final product would only be medicine, at best. Although medicine had its uses, when compared to a pill, the difference was like a hundred thousand times.
Furthermore, binding required one to wait until all the essences had pretty much fused together before pouring one's Spirit energy into the pill furnace, turning the medicine into a pill. This step really tested a person's mental strength. If one did not control it well, all the efforts that had been put in earlier would be completely wasted.
As a result, although pill refinement looked easy, those who could really become Alchemists were few and far between.
Not to mention the fact that pill refinement still needed two very important elements- pill furnace and fire.
The pill furnace was easy to explain, it was obvious that a better pill furnace would have an increased rate of success.
With regards to fire, there were many different types. Firewood Flame, Spirit Beast Life Flame, Deviant Flame, Spirit flame.
The first one was self explanatory. The second Spirit Beast Life Flame was done by asking a Spirit Beast to provide aid while one was refining pills. Because of their contract, their Master could very quickly order the Spirit Beast to control the intensity of the flame. If it was their own Spirit Beast, the Master could directly control the Spirit Beast Life Flame.
This was the fire that the majority of Alchemists used. However, the problem with using these flames were that their quality was not high. Also, they required contractual Spirit Beasts in order to work.
The third type of fire was Deviant Flame. This kind of flames was generated between Heaven and Earth. It had a spiritual nature. If one could control it, the success of pill refinement would exponentially increase.
However, controlling this kind of Deviant Flame was really difficult because one had to absorb the Deviant Flame into their body before pouring it into the Pill Furnace. If one was not cautious and was devoured by the Deviant Flame, he would be burnt to death.
For the fourth kind of flame, not much was written about it. It could possibly be because this kind of flame was simply too mysterious.
When Sima You Yue had finished reading the Pill Refinement procedures, she realised that it was something that really required endurance. Although she lacked money and men in this current life, what she did not lack was patience.
And so she began to practice the first step of Pill Refinement, Purifying.
She followed the methods written in the books with utmost precision, after that, she eagerly ran towards the medicine field to look for a few pill ingredients. When she came to the pill room, she took the pill furnace that Little Spirit had found for her earlier and began her closed door training.
After two days, aside from coming outside to obtain some pill ingredients, Sima You Yue remained inside the alchemy room. For a period of time, the sounds pingpingpingping sounded non stop.
The Spirit Beasts inside the Spirit Pearl all ran over and waited outside the alchemy room.
"Will Master be able to refine any pills?" Ya Guang asked as he looked towards the pill room.
"Of course!" Little Roar, who rolling around on Ya Guang's back, affirmed when he heard Ya Guang's question.
"Little Yue Yue is so smart, she'll definitely be able to refine them successfully." Ling Long's body floated in mid air. She had one leg crossed over the other with both hands behind her head, looking as if she was sleeping on top of a bed.
"She definitely has to succeed! Then I will be able to have many Candy Drops to eat." Little Spirit said.
"Candy Drops?"
"I'm talking about pills. I used to call them Candy Drops." Little Spirit said.
"Boom-" During the pause in the conversation between Little Spirit and the rest, the sound of an explosion sounded from inside the pill room. The shock sent them scurrying inside for a look.
"Yue Yue, are you okay?" Little Roar was the first one to enter. He saw the room full of smoke with Sima You Yue's silhouette faintly discernable in the centre of it.
"Master, what happened?" Ya Guang and the rest rushed inside and asked when they saw what remained of the door.
The smoke in the house gradually dispersed, leaving the room in the mess. Not just the table, but also the floor and even the walls had been scattered with remainders of the pill ingredients as a result of the explosion.
Sima You Yue stood in the centre of the house. When it had exploded, she managed to protect her face, but her hair had turned into an afro because of the explosion. Her clothes had also been shredded.
"Wawawa, I'm so sad!" Little Spirit saw the state of the house and cried out loudly.
"What's wrong, Little Spirit?" The other could not understand what was wrong with Little Spirit.
"Other people would only cause an explosion during the fusion process, but Master was just purifying the pills when it exploded. This shows that she can't refine pills at all. I have no more Candy Drops to eat anymore, sob, I'm so depressed." Little Spirit cried.
Little Roar and the rest looked at the charred Sima You Yue. She really couldn't become a Alchemist?
