Chapter 65: “A Seal on the Body”

Pain!

As Sima You Yue's consciousness slowly withdrew, pain was the first thing she felt.

"Yue Yue's awake!" Little Roar's voice sounded from beside her.

"Yup, it looks like she's awake." Little Spirit arrogant yet tender voice sounded.

"But why hasn't Master opened her eyes yet?" Ling Long's worried voice came from the direction of Sima You Yue's…. chin.

"Ling Long, you shouldn't lie down on Yue Yue's stomach! You'll squash her and make her unable to wake up." Little Roar flew over, picking Ling Long up.

Ling Long moved and threw off Little Roar's claws, falling on Ya Guang's back, hatefully glaring at Little Roar.

"Master should have already regained her consciousness." Ya Guang took a sniff at Sima You Yue's body as he said.

Ling Long took a look at the transparent silhouette at the side before pursing her lips to say, "Hey, we can take care of Master. What is a guy like you running out for."

"Whoa, don't tell me you've taken a fancy to Yue Yue?" Little Roar started to roar dangerously at Mo Sha, "I'll say it first, Yue Yue is ours, you better not s.n.a.t.c.h her from us!"

Mo Sha glanced coolly over these few beasts. Without taking any notice of them, he put all his attention over Sima You Yue's body, his eyes containing traces of serene and hidden meaning.

Little Roar looked at Mo Sha, then looked at Sima You Yue. What was this guy looking at Yue Yue for? Something was up!

Sima You Yue heard Little Roar and the rest quarrel incessantly beside her ear and felt that her brain was going to explode. However, she was unable to open her eyes.

"Just wait for me to get up, I'll teach you all a lesson!" Sime You Yue could not help but think.

Although she could not open her eyes, her thoughts were completely clear. Her current nerves was also exceptionally sensitive so every single pain on her body was amplified by multiple times.

Just as she felt that she was going to faint from the pain, a 'ka-cha' sound echoed beside her body, followed by an ice-cold aura that came from her lower abdomen, out to her four limbs and the rest of her body.

The scorching pain subsided following that aura and finally disappeared.

That aura circled a few times before returning to her lower abdomen, finally staying still.

Sima You Yue slowly opened her eyes and could not longer see the silhouettes of Little Roar and the rest. It was probably that they saw she was fine and then ran off to play.

"Master, you're awake." Ya Guang saw that Sima You Yue had woken up and said anxiously.

Sima You Yue sat up. The first one she looked at was not Ya Guang, but Mo Sha, who was seated at the side.

How come this guy was out?

She kneaded her forehead, saying, "Ya Guang, how long was I unconscious?"

"You weren't unconscious for long, in half a day you regained your consciousness. However, after regaining your consciousness, you slept for another two and a half days, so it's been about three days." Ya Guang answered from the side.

"Three days?" Sima You Yue looked at Ya Guang in shock. She made sure that he was not exaggerating as she started to mutter incessantly in her heart. She had felt that only a little while had pa.s.sed, how had it been three days?

At this moment, she finally noticed her hands. They were smooth and without scars, just like in the past.

She remembered that when the pill stove exploded, the flying splinters had gashed a long red wound. How come it was gone?

"Healed." Mo Sha suddenly opened his mouth in reply.

Sima You Yue's astonished gaze turned towards Mo Sha. This sentence was him telling her that the wound on her hand had been healed?

"Very surprised?" Mo Sha looked at Sima You Yue, "It's not just the wound on your hand that has healed, the other wounds on the rest of your body have also healed."

Sima You Yue touched the wounds on her body and realised that they did not hurt anymore.

"How… come." Sima You Yue concealed her outward surprise, looking at Mo Sha to ask, " Was it you who healed me?"

Mo Sha shook his head, saying, "You did it."

"Me?" SIma You Yue pointed at herself doubtfully. It was obvious she didn't believe what Mo Sha said.

"Master, it really was you who healed yourself." Ya Guang said from the side, "When you were unconscious, your wounds started getting better one by one. At that time, all of us were really shocked!"

"It was really me?" Sima You Yue still felt that this was too incredible, however, Ya Guang was a very honest one, he would not lie to its own owner. It had already said that she was the one who had healed it, so it should be the truth.

But when did she gain such an awesome natural ability?

Just as she was daydreaming, Mo Sha suddenly drifted over, landing in front of Sima You Yue, giving her a huge fright.

"What are you doing?!" Seeing this suddenly enlarged face, although it was very attractive, it would still scare a person okay!

"There's a problem with your body." Mo Sha sniffed at Sima You Yue's body and said coldly.

Sima You Yue saw that Mo Sha was looking at her as if she was some kind of prey and unconsciously tried to push him, however, her hand went through his body.

"What problem do I have! Isn't it just that I have some intrepid natural ability! You're the one who has a problem!"

Mo Sha left Sima You Yue and said, "A seal has been placed on your body!"

"Seal? What kind of seal?" Sima You Yue stood up and bent her head to look down at her body but she didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

"Have you seen any person that's been injured in an explosion, but even without eating any pills, they were able to recover in two days?" Mo Sha said.

"It appears that I haven't." Sima You Yue said.

"Have you had this experience before?" Mo Sha asked again.

Sima You Yue sifted through her memories but shook her head. In the past, this body would get wounded frequently, but she always had to rely on pills in order to recover. She really never went through this kind of experience before.

"Don't tell me that my natural ability has something to do with the seal?" Sima You Yue looked at Mo Sha and asked.

"During the moment of explosion, I felt a familiar aura." Mo Sha said, "I'm trying to ascertain whether or not it is that, but you always remained unconscious, so I had no way of doing so."

"How would you ascertain it?" Sima You Yue asked, "also, what is this matter about the seal?"

"You have to let me check first before I can answer your question." Mo Sha said.

"You have to first tell me what method you are going to use to check." Sima You Yue looked at Mo Sha distrustfully, but this big devil, if he wanted to play any tricks, he could sell her and she would still be able to fetch him some money.

"I will enter your body." Mo Sha said.

The moment Sima You Yue heard it, she got angry and shouted at him, "I knew it, you would definitely have some kind of warped idea! If I let you enter my body, what if you seize control? What if you harm my body? I would definitely not agree to something like this!"

Mo Sha never expected that Sima You Yue would have such a big reaction and said, "I won't harm you!"

"Pui! There's no way I would believe that!" Sima You Yue said, "I've done my research. The books say that devils are the least trustworthy. You'll say now that you won't harm me but what if you go back on your words after you enter my body? I don't want to do it!"

Mo Sha looked at the way Sima You Yue was looking at him disdainfully and he was enraged. A vortex started to form around him.

"What, I've guessed too accurately now you want to kill me to silence me? This place is my territory!" Sima You Yue shouted at Mo Sha.

The aura surrounding Mo Sha gradually subsided and eventually became like before. If it wasn't for the fact that the surrounding area was no longer the same, Sima You Yue would not have been able to tell that he had gotten angry.

"It's impossible for me to harm you. Because… we've already established contract." Mo Sha said this sentence slowly, successfully rooting Sima You Yue to the spot in shock.

Chapter 66: Light Devil Body Physique

"Con-contract?"

Mo Sha nodded, confirming that it was true.

"At that time, why didn't I feel that we had entered a contract?" Sima You Yue felt it was strange and asked.

"Because I blocked it." Mo Sha said.

Sima You Yue scrutinised this Mo Sha and was secretly fearful. Being able to block the contract between two people such that she was unable to feel a thing… even if she had only been in this world for a short period of time, she knew that this was something that was practically impossible.

However, he had done it. Furthermore, it was done when he was still an incomplete spirit. How terrifying was he in his past life!

"However, the stronger he is, I believe, the more things he will know how to do." Sima You Yue contemplated in her heart, "If he has established a contract with me, wouldn't I have an overwhelming advantage? Who knows, I may even be able to gain much more things from him."

Mo Sha noticed that Sima You Yue's eyes were turning and knew that she had thought of some warped idea yet again. However, he could not be bothered with it and closed his eyes for awhile before opening them to look at her, saying, "Enough."

Sima You Yue felt it for a moment then realised she really had another connection with Mo Sha.

"When did we establish a contract?" She still felt it was incredulous when she asked.

The other party was a devil, furthermore, was in a spirit state. How did they form a contract with each other?

"When you broke the Illusion Array, I don't know how you entered into a contract with the Spirit Stone. Since I lived in there, of course I entered into a contract with you as well." Mo Sha's face blackened considerably when he thought of this, "In any case, will you let me go and check now? I'll take a look at what this seal is."

Talking about the seal on her body, Sima You Yue also became more serious. Who knew that her body would actually have some a weird thing. She didn't know what this seal was for, who gave it to her and why she had it.

"Come then."

She nodded towards Mo Sha. She didn't know how he planned to enter her body and was going to ask when Mo Sha turned into a kind of black ray, shooting into the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows.

At the moment he entered, Sima You Yue felt a biting chill and unconsciously broke out into s.h.i.+vers.

"How is this guy's temperature so cold." Sima You Yue could not help but jest, "If he doesn’t come out soon, I'll turn into an ice cube."

After more than a little while, just before Sima You Yue's body reached its limit, Mo Sha came out from between her eyebrows. The moment he left, the freezing cold also left with him.

"How is it? What is that seal?" Sima You Yue noticed that Mo Sha was looked at her with a complicated expression and asked. Seeing how he refused to answer, she said, "Don't tell me that a bomb is sealed within my body?"

"Not a bomb, but something like it." Mo Sha had followed Sima You Yue for such a long time that he knew what she was talking about when she said the word bomb.

"It's really a bomb?!" Sima You Yue's expression was wrecked with grief, "I was just randomly spouting guessing, who knew that I would guess it."

"I said that it wasn't a bomb." Mo Sha said.

"Fine, no matter what is is, I still have to know what it is." Sima You Yue pursed her lips, saying, "Say it, what is sealed within my body?"

"Light Devil Body Physique." When Mo Sha said this, his voice trembled slightly, as if he was quite agitated.

Sima You Yue had been shocked by his three words, so.. So she didn't notice his agitation.

"What is a Light Devil Body Physique? Why is it sealed?"

"If it was not sealed, I'm afraid that your body would have exploded when you were two or three years old."

"So terrifying?" SIma You Yue attempted to find a word that would properly describe its extent, but failed. "Then what is it exactly?"

"This world is separated into light and darkness. You should know this right?" Mo Sha looked at Sima You Yue.

"Don't I just have to look at you to know." Sima You Yue felt that Mo Sha would talk for a long time so she casually took out a chair from her interspatial ring, sitting down to listen slowly.

Mo Sha looked at what Sima You Yue did and could not help but turn his face completely black. This brat was just incomparably worried just seconds ago, but she was now taking out a chair to sit down and listen?

"People from the world of light have a physique that will only be found after a few hundred thousand years. This kind of physique actually contains a kind of aura. This aura will let them cultivate at speeds that surpa.s.s normal Spirit Masters by more than a few times, furthermore, their bottlenecks are few. As a result, they have very strong abilities to recover. This kind of body is called a Light Body Physique.

"So powerful!" Sima You Yue's mouth opened wide in shock, "If one managed to encounter this kind of body, wouldn't this be super-ultra out of this world!"

"On the other hand, in the Dark world, those with dark auras are termed Devil Body Physiques. If one was able to use one of the two types, to the average person, this would be seen as an extremely fortuitous event." Mo Sha said, "However, you are not the same as them."

"You said I possess a Light Devil Body Physique, don't tell me that you're saying I have both kinds?" Sima You Yue said.

Mo Sha gave her an appraising look, saying straightforwardly, "That's right. You have both kinds of auras in your body. One represents the light while one represents the darkness. Both are at odds with each other but they now reside in one body. What do you think will happen? Furthermore, at that time, you were just a baby, you would have been killed with even a little bit of shock."

"No wonder it has to be sealed." Sima You Yue said. After that, she thought about something and looked straight at Mo Sha, asking, "Now that this seal has been broken, won't I be 100% dead?"

"Not for the time being." Mo Sha replied, "However, this doesn't mean that you won't in the future."

Sima You Yue looked at Mo Sha and beamed, saying, "You definitely have an way to deal with it, right?"

Mo Sha raised his eyebrows, "How are you so sure?"

"Since we've had a contract, if I die, you also wouldn't be able to live on. However, you don't look worried at all." Simna You Yue declared a.s.suredly, "Anyway, you managed to recognise right away that I have a Light Devil Body Physique, so you definitely have seen experienced like this before. Or, you are one, or you have encountered one before.

The way Mo Sha looked at Sima You Yue changed a lot in a moment. He never expected that this brat would actually have a brain.

"Your Lords.h.i.+p knows that his charm is hard to contain, but you still don't have to look at me like that."

Sima You Yue pinched her nonexistent fringe and pretended to show off, causing Mo Sha to roll his eyes.

"You still haven't said what kind you are!" Sima You Yue said.

"I was like you, in the past." Mo Sha said this sentence slowly.

Although Sima You Yue had guessed it, hearing it from Mo Sha himself still gave her a bit of surprise.

"Then, then how did you turn into someone from the Devil Clan?"

Mo Sha glanced over at Sima You Yue, before looking in the distance, saying, "When I was young, I was also a human. I didn't grow up in the Devil Clan."

Sima You Yue looked at Mo Sha and felt waves of hurt coming from her own body.

Chapter 67: Secret of Soul Refinement

Sima You Yue had been given a huge shock by Mo Sha's words. He wasn't a person from the Devil Clan, so how did he end up this way?

"Then how did you end up in the Devil Clan?" Looking at the way Mo Sha was, she was unable to control her curiosity.

Mo Sha was only melancholic for a while before he quickly regained his original mood, replying, "My father was a human, my mother was from the Devil Clan, so technically Devil blood flowed through my body."

"So this why you ended up with a Light-Devil Body." Sima You Yue nodded her head with understanding.

If his father was a human, his body would not possibly have any dark aura. Thinking up to this point, her heart started to fl.u.s.ter. Didn't this mean that one of her parents wasn't human?!

"Your current situation is similar to mine from the past. Now that the seal has been opened, it actually doesn't threaten you that much. In fact, it is even a good thing." Mo Sha was clearly no longer talking about himself as he looked at Sima You Yue and said, "Now the two auras that you have are still are the stage at which you can control them, so they won't explode within your body. However, the Light Devil Body Physique will cause your cultivation speed to be several times high than others. Your innate skill has already been several notches above other average people and now you will be even more powerful."

"Really?" SIma You Yue's eyes shone as she looked at Mo Sha. If he wasn't just in Spirit form, she might have even really run over to give him a hug and give him a huge kiss.

"You shouldn't be happy too soon." Mo Sha saw the way she was acting and could not help but to rain on her parade, "Just as your strength increases, the conflict between the the two auras present will also increase. If you are unable to control it when that time comes, you will be in danger."

When he said this, Sima You Yue was not too worried.

"In any case, don't you have a way to solve it? Since you managed to survive at that time, I'll be able to survive too!"

This simple yet confident statement cause Mo Sha's heart to shudder. At that time, he himself was just a young frivolous kid, he was also full of confidence. When he found out that he possessed a Light Devil body physique, he also believed he would be able to survive. When the time came, he really did survive, it was just that the process of it was quite painful.

"Oh right, what's the method that you talked about?" Sima You Yue looked up and asked.

"There's no point telling you about this now." Mo Sha said cooly.

"Ugh, pretending again." Sima Yue Yue curled her lip. However, even if she continued to question him, if this guy really had no plans to talk, he really would not budge an inch. Anyway she believed right now that he wouldn't harm her.

Mo Sha pretended not to hear anything that Sima You Yue said, asking, "Alright, I've explained to you the circ.u.mstances regarding your body. Now let me talk about something else."

"There's something else?"

"Pill Refinement, explosion." Mo Sha said languidly.

"This?" Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows, "I also don't know why. During pill refinement, it keeps exploding although I clearly followed all the steps on this book."

"I was watching you refine pills. Your actual skills can still be deemed pa.s.sable but the problem comes from your control over the fire." Mo Sha explained, "Every pill, every stage has a different degree of fire. Even a little difference can cause your pill refinement to fail."

"You know how to refine pills?" Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows in surprise. From the way he was talking, he didn't seem like an amateur at all.

"I do." Mo Sha admitted.

"What rank?"

"You will know in the future." Mo Sha replied, "In any case, it's high enough to guide you."

"Tsk." Sima You Yue rolled her eyes at him. This guy really liked to act blur. "If you don't tell me, then how will I know whether or not you really know how?"

Mo Sha creased his eyebrows, saying unhappily "If you don’t want to learn then forget it."

"Hey hey hey, I didn't say I didn't want to learn!" Sima You Yue saw that Mo Sha was quite done with dealing with her, and beamed, "If you don’t want to say it then fine! In any case, we're now on the same boat. If I become stronger, I'll be able to help you find your other half more efficiently! I also don't have to worry about you taking advantage of me."

Mo Sha looked down, as if he was closing his eyes in contemplation. Him being willing to teach her how to refine pills was not without personal motives.

"Enough, I'll tell you about the basics of Pill Refinement…"

After listening to Mo Sha's explanation, Sima You Yue was able to understand Pill Refinement even more.

It turns out that Pill Refinement really wasn't as easy as she though. Those three steps may have seemed easy, but they held tens and millions of other points. If even one of them was wrong, one was unable to become a Pill Master.

"No wonder there are so many Spirit Masters but so few Alchemists." Sima You Yue touched her chin.

"All these things require a certain prerequisite." Mo Sha said.

"What prerequisite?" Sima You Yue asked.

"A very strong mental strength." After Mo Sha finished speaking, he gave Sima You Yue a once-over. Her mental strength could be said to be the strongest he had ever seen amongst his peers. If she didn't have such a huge amount of mental strength, he would never have thought of teaching her.

"A very strong mental strength?

"When refining pills, you need to use your mental strength to control it, especially for higher grade pills where refinement is even more complex, it is extremely taxing on your mental strength. The stronger your mental strength, the easier and further your walk will be on the road to Pill Refinement." Mo Sha explained.

"So this is the case." Sima You Yue clutched both hands to her head, leaned on the back of her chair, looked towards Mo Sha and asked, "Aren't you someone from the Devil Clan? How do you know how humans refine pills?"

"Humans and the Devil Clan have the same methods of Pill Refinement. It's just that the fusing process is a bit different." Mo Sha said, "When Humans are at the last stages of Pill Refinement, they need to inject Spirit Power of the light attribute, while those of the Devil Clan inject Spirit Power of the dark attribute. For some of the same types of pills, if someone of the Devil Clan eats the pill with Light Spirit Power injected, that pill will become poisonous instead. Vice versa, Humans can't eat pills that are imbued with Dark Spirit Power.

"Understand." Sima You Yue nodded.

"Place this Spirit Stone on your forehead." Mo Sha said.

Sima You Yue did not know what he wanted to do but she followed his instructions. She took the Spirit Stone and placed it on her forehead. Once her forehead came into contact with the spirit stone, a brilliant ray of light shot out from the Spirit Stone. After that, information was poured in through the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows.

"This is a way of strengthening one's mental power. You just have to follow what it says and practice in order to increase your mental power." Mo Sha said.

Sima You Yue closed her eyes to feel for a bit and realised that aside from Imperial Beast Arts from before, there existed another book full of old auras in her consciousness.

"Secret of soul refinement." Sima You Yue looked at the words on this book and her heart felt an indescribable tremor. She opened her eyes and looked at Mo Sha while asking, "Isn't it to train my mental strength? How come it's the secret to refining souls?"

"The bigger your soul, the stronger your mental power." Mo Sha explained simply, "Enough, we'll go to the pill refinement room now. You should practice making the pill you did before. I will stand beside you and instruct you."

"Okay." Hearing Mo Sha say it in this way, Sima You Yue kept away all her questions and curiosities towards the secret of soul refinement and brought him to the Alchemy room.

She would slowly ask him all these questions in the future. Right now, the proper thing to do was to learn how to refine pills.
