Chapter 191 - Task
Feng Xing could indeed run really fast and leap very high. With his help, Shaosi’s task had quickly been completed. A whole one hundred Snow Fragrance Thoroughworts were easily collected.
Some time later, Ji Hao, Taisi, Shaosi, Feng Xing, and Yu Mu returned to the Magi Palace together, leaving their contact information for each other. After this, Ji Hao went back to his busy schedule of studying. Magic medicines, magic spells, magic formations, magic tools…Wu Long Kui had introduced Ji Hao to another elderly Magi tutor, who began teaching Ji Hao about the skills of making magic puppets.
For the majority of half a month, Ji Hao had spent all his time in the material storeroom of the Magi Palace. From the most ordinary iron, to the star-wrought iron, that was more solid than ordinary iron by over a million times, to the Gui water black silver, which was softer than pure gold by a million times, and to the deep ocean magic bronze that had crystal-like texture, but could contain incredibly great amount of magic power...
Because of being taught by a group of master Magi tutors in a nearly inhuman crammed manner, Ji Hao had made amazing improvements on each of his subjects. His understanding about the usage and creation skills of magic tools and his understanding of magic puppets had greatly been improved through understanding all kinds of basic materials. On top of that, he discovered that some rare materials, including even metals, could be used to make medicines.
Take the Gui water black silver for example, Wulong Yao would add this kind of silver to his body strengthening medicine that he made Ji Hao take daily. The Gui water black silver would make Ji Hao’s bones withy than before and harder to break. The only negative thing about this kind of silver, which was also the reason Ji Hao literally wanted to die every day he was forced to take this medicine, was that the flavour of the Gui water black silver was incredibly horrible.
“It’s a pile of dog shit that has been fermenting for three-thousand years!!” This was how Ji Hao described the flavour of the Gui water black silver.
Having worked for the majority of half a month, the power contained in Ji Hao’s meridians had become like a tsunami that Ji Hao was unable to suppress anymore. Every single day, his meridians would feel very painful, as if it was being burnt by a blazing fire. This pain was a sign that his current level of power had already reached its limitation and would unable to grow any further.
Inside Ji Hao’s spiritual space, the mysterious man was sitting on the misty round flat platform and talking to Ji Hao.
“Little guy, there will certainly be an abnormal phenomenon when you make a breakthrough to the level of Senior Magus, but you can never let anyone else that you have already awakened all your meridians. So, you should find a secluded place for yourself.”
Ji Hao stood and left the storeroom where he had been concentrating on studying for over half a month and walked back to his room.
When he pushed the door open, he conveniently put his hand into a concealed box in the door, which was designed for visitors to leave their messages. Seven to eight slips that were made from beast bones were then taken out by Ji Hao from the concealed box. He carefully read all of those bone slips, then let out a smile.
Taisi had come by quite a few times with the intention of talking to Ji Hao about some new ideas regarding magic spells. He also invited Ji Hao to accompany him in going out and collect some rare and precious materials.
Yu Mu had once come by and had left a very simple message - there was task that required to travel quite far away from the Magi Palace, but they wouldn’t be able to complete the task with solely the powers of Feng Xing and his. Therefore, he asked Ji Hao f he would be willing to go with them.
An hour later the five of them had gathered once again in Yu Mu’s room.
Feng Xing had taken a small stone block and sat alone near the door, with the door opened. It was as if he was prepared to leap up from the stone block, dart out of the door and flee away at any time. Ji Hao just couldn’t understand why this guy was so vigilant, as though he was being hunted by lots of people.
Taisi was leaning lazily against the stone table with his eyes narrowed, while fiddling with a rat’s skull. Now and then, he would throw this pale, tiny and scary-looking skull into his mouth, whistle through it and make a rat-squeaking-like sound.
Shaosi stood silently at the side, with her hands hidden inside her sleeves and her eyes fixed on the tips of her feet. Ji Hao couldn’t tell if she was thinking about something or was she simply drowsing off.
Yu Mu was the only one sitting straight behind the stone table, seriously and patiently explaining all the details and risks involved in this task.
