He smiled. "Ox Three, what pill will you eat? " The Green Ox too had gone the whole night without sleep, cultivating the Ancestral Dragon Grand Mystery Art, and yet he was full of vigor still. He strode over and bowed.
"Little Master, I do not eat spirit pills.
Cultivation padded out with spirit pills is nothing but fat. " Shen Mu laughed. "Spirit pills can raise your cultivation swiftly; then you need only cultivate the harder, and you may refine away the excess medicinal power. The Ancestral Dragon Grand Mystery Art consumes a great deal, and if you do not replenish it with spirit pills, it will wear away your body and leave you withered—at worst, it may cost you your life.
You have the blood of the Azure Dragon, the wind-and-thunder attribute. Hmm. . .
I will make you a Wind-Thunder Yang Spirit Pill!
Wait a moment!
" The Green Ox was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "This little ox is overwhelmed with gratitude. If the Little Master could add a little fragrance of flowers and grasses to the Wind-Thunder Yang Spirit Pill, it would be even better.
" Shen Mu nodded, prepared the ingredients, and refined the Wind-Thunder Yang Spirit Pill; he also asked the Green Ox for some flowers and grasses and refined them in as well, so that a rare fragrance filled the air.
The Green Ox tasted one, was overjoyed beyond measure, and praised it without cease; then he went off to cultivate.
Dragon Qilin was seized with dread.
He hurriedly gulped down his Water-Phase Spirit Essence Pill in a few bites and made haste to cultivate as well—then suddenly he came to his senses and thought: "Something is wrong. The Sect Master seems to have found my soft spot.
First he taught the Green Ox the Ancestral Dragon Grand Mystery Art, then he refined pills for him—he is forcing me to cultivate diligently! Could it be. .
. my Human Husbandry Sutra! " He hurriedly took out the Human Husbandry Sutra, found it still there, and breathed a sigh of relief. "I was too suspicious. " Shen Mu and Snow Fox sat at the table eating breakfast.
He took out a small booklet and leafed through it carefully. Snow Fox said hurriedly, "Young Master, burn it once you have read it through—you must not say that I copied it.
" Shen Mu nodded and went on reading, then sneered. "That Fatty Dragon, to write me up like this!
It is lucky I found it early.
Otherwise I would have become his pill boy! Do not worry, Ling'er, I will not give you away. " Suddenly the Blind Elder's voice came, joyful: "Shen'er, I have completed what was lacking in the Sacred Pupil of your art! Come and cultivate it again!
" Shen Mu set down his bowl and chopsticks and hurried over.
The Blind Elder displayed the pathways of the Sacred Pupil's art in vital essence and said with a smile, "The several of us studied it, and we believe this is the way to rouse your third eye. Look it over first, and see whether anything is still missing.
" Shen Mu examined it closely. The Sacred Pupil pathways the Blind Elder and the others had completed did indeed make whole what had been lacking in his Sacred Pupil, and had added the pathways of vital essence for the third eye as well.
He calculated it carefully, then shook his head. "Grandpa Blind, I can see nothing missing.
" He committed the pathways to memory, and at once began to drive the Mystic Body Three-Core Art along those paths. The others watched his brow with the utmost anxiety, waiting for that eye to open. Shen Mu drove the Mystic Body Three-Core Art; his vital essence shook with wave upon wave of dragon roars, and came to the point between his brows.
Suddenly, beneath the willow-leaf mark on his brow, a drop of black blood ran down. Then the two eyelids slowly parted to either side!
