Chapter 168 - Sense of Humor (1/2)

“Refine the Battle Element Pill?” Ling Yichen frowned slightly. “That pill’s medicinal properties are too strong. Although they can temporarily increase one’s cultivation, the price to pay is too heavy.”

Ling Chuxi nodded. “I know. I was wondering whether I could improve on its medicinal properties.”

If the side effects of the Battle Element Pill were not so intense, it was indeed a heaven-defying pill. Swallowing it when fighting enemies could definitely tilt the odds in one’s favour. If it could be improved, then, how much more of a heaven-defying pill would it be?

“Is that possible?” asked Ling Yichen, frowning slightly.

“Let’s just give it a try. If we don’t try, how would we know?” replied Ling Chuxi.

Ling Yichen nodded. “True, you have a point there. Then, let’s depart tomorrow.”

Xia Zhuoyi suddenly popped out from the corner. “Where are the both of you going?”

“We’re going to the White Stone Canyon. You should definitely come too,” said Ling Chuxi, looking at Xia Zhuoyi. “Your basic skills are not bad, and it’ll also be good to improve your cultivation.”

Xia Zhuoyi’s basic skills were indeed not bad. But because he had burdens in his heart from constantly worrying about his mother’s eyes, he had not put his entire concentration on cultivation. So, the results he gained had always only been about half of the effort he put in. Now that the matter of Xia Rulin’s eyes were solved, his mind was also a lot more at ease, and this was a very good thing for his cultivation.

The teachers were always agreeable to the students of the White Stone Academy wanting to take leave for experiential training. The only requirement was that the students had to show the teachers everything they learned when they returned.

After easily getting permission, Ling Chuxi, Ling Yichen, and Xia Zhuoyi packed their things and prepared to leave for White Stone Canyon. When Lan Xinyu heard of this, she wanted to go with them too. But unfortunately, there were some matters in her family that required her presence, so she could only lament sorrowfully.

This was the second time that Ling Chuxi and the others entered the White Stone Canyon. The last time they came, they had obtained a monster beast’s egg.

Thinking about this, Ling Chuxi asked, “Zhuoyi, what happened to the monster beast’s egg I gave you the last time? Has it not hatched?”

“Ah? Yeah.” Xia Zhuoyi took out the blood red Blood Wolf’s egg from his embrace with a frown. “If it wasn’t for the fact that I occasionally hear soft sounds from inside, I would have thought that it was dead. I don’t know why it has yet to hatch.”
