Chapter 586: Fusion between light and darkness
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue’s production of the pill powder really opened a whole new world to them. If what they had for her before this was respect, then this almost turned into worship.
“Sigh, I’m truly unfamiliar with this. That’s why this pill is so low ranked.”
Once she said this, and everyone was truly shocked before they recovered.
“You Yue, this is only your second time refining this. Aren’t you satisfied with the outcome?” Ba Jia Zi was still unable to believe her eyes. This was even more amazing that her clan’s alchemists. She had seen them refine pills a few tens of times, but they were never as successful as she was.
“It’s barely fused.” Sima You Yue gave the pills to Hua Yan, “I can only refine it to pills around this quality. When I’m more familiar, one batch can give me two to three pills. Prepare some ingredients based on this projection. Furthermore, just because I was successful these two times, doesn’t mean that all of them will be. You’d better account for that as well.”
Hua Yan took the pills and was extremely excited. This success rate had already gone way beyond his expectations.
“We will prepare the ingredients for you immediately.” She took the pills and dashed out.
“Yue Yue, what are you thinking about?” Little Dream saw You Yue pulled her hand and asked.
“Is there something wrong with this pill? Ba Jia Zi looked at her nervously. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with the pill right? She didn’t want her high hopes to crash to the ground!
“No.” Sima You Yue said, “There’s no problem with the pills.”
“Then why do you look…” Ba Jia Zi patted her chest. She had almost been scared to death. “I was just puzzled about some things.” Sima You Yue said.
“What?” Mo Sha asked.
“Senior, I’ve always found it a bit strange. If we were in the human realm, my pills would be of higher quality. However, they’re lower here. I also have to spend quite a bit more mental energy. It’s the same for both the refinement and fusion process.” Sima You Yue voiced out her doubts.
“This is normal.” Mo Sha said lightly, “Alchemy in the devil realm is a lot worse than the human realm.
“Is it the case for all?” Sima You Yue was stunned. Seeing Mo Sha nod, she wondered if these were the laws restricted by the heavens?
“Knock knock knock-”
There was a knock on the door, and the inn manager walked in, saying, “Young Master we just received word that Devil Jan clansmen have appeared in the city. They went to the Black Jade clan’s contact point and took a look, and are now rushing to the meeting point.”
Ba Jia Zi immediately stood up, saying,”Really? Do we know who is here?”
“We don’t interact much with the Devil Jade clansmen. The manager replied.”
“Call the men. We’ll go and take a look together.” Hua Jing ordered, then he turned to say to Mo Sha and Sima You Yue, “Wait here. We should be back quickly.”
Mo Sha never thought of going in the first place. Sima You Yue had just finished cultivating two batches of pills, so she had yet to recover her mental energy.
Hua Xiu and the others walked off, as SIma You Yue took out two drops of soul fluid and drank it.
“It’s your first time refining pills in the devil realm, and you’re not familiar with it either. In order to do so successfully, you have to expand quite a bit of mental energy. You’ll be fine once you’ve refined a bit more.”
“Yeah, I’m going back first to rest .”
Sima You Yue left, while Mo Sha remained in the house a little longer. He casually formed a seal with both hands, and a mark of a black moon and long sword slowly coalesced in mid air.
He tightened his lips, and stared at the mark as his pupils turned red.
“Go-”
The mark, followed his commands, and actually left his control and flew into the sky, disappearing quickly.
Once the mark disappeared, he stood up and left the house.
Sima You Yue began cultivating once she went back. Not long after, she opened her eyes and confusion suffused them.
“The dark spirit energy here is actually lower than it is in the ancient primordial lands. Why is that so? Could it be that, as Mo Sha said, the conditions here are even harder than in the human realm. What is the heavenly law, in the end? Emperor Qing Dao…”
When she thought of things that happened at the Heavenly Pavilion, she was stunned by the daring thought that she just had.
“It shouldn’t be what I’m guessing, right…”
However, the devil realm was the devil realm. It was not left to just her, a person from the human realm, to worry about. That was why it was better for her to wait for Mo Sha to finish up his stuff and head back quickly.
“Sigh, I just left like that. I wonder how Master and the others are doing. Will they worry for me? It’s a pity I can’t contact them to give them a peace of mind.”
“Yue Yue, don’t’ worry. You Lin and the others have your aura. As long as that doesn’t vaish, they’ll know you’re fine.” Little Dream said.
“I’m afraid that Master and the others won’t look for You Lin and the others, choosing to worry silently instead.” Sima You yue said, “However, for something so serious as me being taken away to the devil realm, I expect them to tell my Grandfather. They should be able to hear the news in that way too.”
“They definitely will.” Little Dream nodded.
“Right.” Sima You Yue called out Little Roar, saying, “little Roar, why did you get me to rescue Ba Jia Zi?”
Little Roar gave a lazy stretch and said, “The legends say that, if one meets a Black Jade Clansmen in trouble, you definitely have to help them. It will give us an unexpected but nice surprise.”
“The legends say so?” Sima You Yue pursed her lips, “Then, did those legends specify why things are that way? Or what kind of nice surprise it will be?”
“… Nope.” Little Roar shrunk his neck back when he saw her death glare.
Sima You Yue could not help but roll her eyes. She just knew things would end up this way.
Scammer!
“Yue Yue, calm down. Since the legends have already said so, this must be true.” Little Roar nodded his head confidently as he spoke, as if it would substantiate his claims.
Sima You Yue grabbed the fur on the back of his neck, and lifted him in front of her. “What I want to know is, why you only told me half of what the legend said?”
“I didn’t. It must be that it’s a certain secret that they can’t tell us.” Little Roar explained.
“Oh?” Sima You Yue dragged the end of the word, scaring Little Roar until he curled into a little ball, “You’re sure that it’s not because the results of that legend are too painful, so they stopped it short?”
“Yue Yue…” Little Roar protested. She was really looking down on him too much! However, seeing You Yue’s gaze that showed she already knew everything, he still surrendered. His two long ears flopped down. ” Actually, it’s not that they stopped it short. I feel as if the issue wasn’t too important, so I tossed it far back into my brain.”
“Just admit that you’re lazy.” Sima You Yue glared at him, “It’s a good thing that the Black Jade Clan are in the same boat as the Hua Clan. It would have been troublesome if they were on opposing side. Right, do you know the original links between you guys and their clan?”
“It seems that my ancestors were together with some of them from the Black Rabbit clan. The later generations that were born carried a bit of our bloodline as well. However, you know this, we are of the light clans, while they are of the dark clans. They live in the devil realm, so fewer and fewer of them got our bloodline. They’ve finally become what you see now.
Sima You Yue’s eyes shone, “Based on what you just told me, the Black Jade clan have characteristics of both light and dark?”
