Chapter 523 - Desperate Hearts (2/2)

“Yes,” the little red bird answered after some serious thought.

“What’s the secret technique?”

“I have no idea.”

“What?”

“My cultivation base isn’t high enough, so my memories aren’t fully unlocked. I only know that the secret technique exists, but I don’t know its specifics,” the little bird explained confidently.

Ou Yangming was startled for a while, and he could not help but shake his head helplessly. Though the little red bird had not matured, it was already at the tip of the pyramid as compared to most of the living beings. Therefore, even the young fellow subconsciously neglected its age.

“Lil’ Ming, let’s continue!” The little red bird blurted.

“Continue what?”

“Channel our mental powers.” The little red bird pointed at the peculiar stone in Ou Yangming’s hand. “This thing can communicate with the gigantic aerolite in the interspatial bag, which means that their energies are shared. As long as we continue to channel our mental powers, we’ll be sending them into the aerolite.”

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and asked, “Lil’ Red, how long do you think we’ll take to fill the enormous aerolite?”

The little red bird fell silent, and it lost all hope after it thought about the question.

Perhaps the little red bird, which was a phoenix, would live until the day the aerolite was filled, but Ou Yangming might not be able to see it.

At the spur of the moment, the little red bird stomped its foot and said, “Lil’ Ming, let’s refine pills!”

“Refine pills?” Ou Yangming was surprised, and he did not know what was wrong with the bird.

“Yes, refine pills!” The little bird explained, “There’s a type of pill in by bloodline inheritance, and it uses the immortal liquid as its base. Once it’s successfully refined, it can compensate for the loss of one’s mental power.”

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and asked, “What pill is that? How effective is it?”

While pills that could recover one’s mental power had been heard of in the lower realm, their efficacies were insignificant to Ou Yangming. However, the pill this time was brought up by the little red bird, and it was from the Phoenixes’ bloodline inheritance. The young fellow believed that he would be shocked by its effect.

Sure enough, the little red bird responded after some thought, “That pill is great indeed. If I’m not mistaken, if we consume it, our mental powers will be fully recovered in just a few breaths even if we were left with nothing.”

Ou Yangming gasped. “Given how mighty it is, isn’t it… On par with this peculiar stone?”

The mental power contained in the stone was also extremely powerful. If they wanted to withdraw their mental powers, the power stored inside could help them recover their peak states even if they were completely exhausted.

Having said that, the miraculous effect was only possible because Ou Yangming and the little red bird had transfused their mental powers into it for 3 days and 3 nights. If that was not the case, the stone could not have such an abundant supply.

If a pill alone could provide such a notable recovery, its value would be unbelievable.

“Refine pills…” Ou Yangming’s eyes gleamed. He had not refined pills before but was experienced in smithing, so he figured that it would help.

“Yes, refine pills.” The little red bird nodded.

“Okay, I can try.” Ou Yangming nodded and was looking forward to the process.

The little red bird was slightly dumbfounded. It blinked and thought, ‘I meant that I’ll be refining the pill. Why are you going to try…

‘Besides, it’s rumored in our race that one can only choose one between alchemy and smithing. If one tries to master both trades, one will achieve nothing in the end.’

That said, after seeing how overjoyed Ou Yangming was, the little red bird decided not to advise him. After all, some things could not be settled through words. Unless the determined young fellow failed to gain anything from making stubborn attempts, he would not stop and turn around.

The little red bird looked pitifully at Ou Yangming as if it saw his miserable future.

It blinked and was somehow pleased. ‘Hmph, this is what you’ll get for trying to pluck my feather. Hehe, I can watch the fun soon.’

Ou Yangming did not notice the little bird’s little scheme. He inspected his surroundings but did not notice any shards of the large aerolite, so he gently waves his hand, causing the air wall to bring them up to the surface.

In the sky, the goshawk swooped in a beautiful arc and arrived beside them.

The young fellow leaped onto the goshawk’s back with the little red bird, then they soared into the clouds and went far away.
