BXBX NOVEL Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Earth Split Scorpion
Outside the light barrier, a gentle breeze blew past, lifting a few dry leaves that landed on the semi transparent barrier before sliding off.
Inside the light barrier, the waste liquid mixed with carbon like substances at Regret's feet kept accumulating. Nonetheless, as the refining process progressed, the amount of discarded waste liquid diminished, while the refined Azure Spirit Liquid was separated by the simulated alchemical cauldron at the moment of successful creation, forming a spherical shape that floated mid air.
The process of refining the medicinal liquid took about an hour. Despite this, Regret's face did not show any signs of fatigue. Whenever he felt mentally exhausted, a golden drop of liquid would be generated from beneath the simulated alchemical cauldron and merge into his body, dispelling any exhaustion.
"Having someone show the way is indeed good. Now I finally understand why the children of those prominent families like the Kartis family make such rapid progress in their cultivation." After finishing the last batch of Azure Spirit Liquid, Regret wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed lightly in his heart.
If it weren't for Master Magi's guidance, not to mention becoming an alchemist, he probably wouldn't even dare to entertain such a thought now.
"Whew!" Seeing Regret finally complete the boring task, Red chirped cheerfully and swiftly jumped onto his shoulder like lightning.
"Finished refining?" Rubbing his forehead, Master Magi wearily opened his eyes. It was evident that the condensation of the simulated Alchemy Cauldron had greatly drained his spiritual power. After all, no matter what, his true form was just a book, and missing eight pages was undoubtedly a severe blow to him.
The next moment, Master Magi floated up and placed his palm on the simulated Alchemist Cauldron, which instantly turned into golden light and entered his body. As the golden light flowed in, his spirit began to revive.
"Well done, it seems I didn't misjudge." Master Magi glanced at the eight floating orbs in the air and smiled. Then, with a light gesture of his hand, those eight orbs gently landed on the ground.
"By the way, Master Magi, where exactly are those missing pages of yours?" Regret suddenly asked.
Though feeling some relief in his eyes, Master Magi lightly waved his hand. "I understand your intention, but with your current strength, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get a single page. When the time is right, I'll let you know."
Nodding helplessly, Regret carefully packed all the Azure Spirit Liquid into a cloth bag. At that moment, Master Magi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Little one, trouble is coming your way."
Upon hearing the words of the master Magi, Regret was slightly surprised. In the back mountains of the Blaze family, what trouble could there possibly be? Could it be that a powerful spiritual beast had arrived?
"Spirit possession, quite a good method, but the target of this spirit possession seems a bit weak."
The master Magi sneered and waved his hand. The surrounding light shield gradually dissipated, and the next moment, a huge black shadow appeared in Regret's line of sight. Red perched on his shoulder instantly stood up, a fierce glint in its eyes.
It was a massive scorpion, its entire body showing a sandy color. The protrusions on its back resembled hardened crystals. Behind it, the sharp tail slightly curved, with its tail hook displaying its lethal power. Most striking were its enormous pincers, capable of snapping a sturdy iron rod in half with ease.
"This is the Earth split Scorpion?"
Regret's eyes flickered. This Earth split Scorpion was at most around the sixth rank. Although it had a higher rank than Red, it was still only a low level novice grade spiritual beast. If they were to engage in a fight, it was uncertain who would emerge victorious.
"This is no ordinary Earth split Scorpion. I can sense the aura of a spirit contract on its body," the master Magi said lightly.
"A spiri contract?" Regret's eyes almost instantly turned cold. If it wasn't a spiritual beast from the Blaze family that appeared here, then it could only be trouble seeking for them!
Veloria City, snow family.
"Elder, have you found that kid?"
In a not so large room, two figures were sitting cross legged on cushions, and the young figure who spoke earlier was none other than Snow Feng from the Snow family!
"Don't worry. If what you said is true, that brat from the Blaze family is indeed trouble. To get rid of him without Blaze Ash noticing, we had to resort to the method of Spirit possession. You know the drawback of this method, it can only be used on weaker spiritual beasts. So, we'll have to take it slow." Snow Ahmad, the elder of the Snow family, raised his eyelids to reveal a pair of gloomy eyes.
"Hehe, Elder Snow Ahmad, don't underestimate that kid too much. Boosting his spiritual beast to the third rank in just one day, he must have used the Blood Awakening Pill. After using the pill, the spiritual beast's strength will indeed increase significantly, but soon after, that spiritual pet will probably be useless." Snow Feng smirked with a gloating expression on his face.
"Sixth rank against the third rank is definitely overwhelming. Elder Snow Ahmad, after finishing off that Flame Cat, don't forget to cripple that Regret boy. He has caused me a lot of trouble at the Atlas shop."
At this mention, Snow Feng's face darkened significantly. In Veloria City, he was always the one causing trouble for others. He never expected Regret to embarrass him this time. So, as soon as he returned to the Snow family, he began persuading Snow Ahmad to deal with Regret.
