You XiaoMo feels someone supporting him. He only manages to catch a glimpse of Ling Xiao before losing consciousness.
Soul force overuse? One look and Ling Xiao can see that there is a problem with You XiaoMo’s condition. He frowns. He is not that well versed with mages and their practices. But he knows that usually a mage is able to tell how much soul force he has left when refining magic pills. So, most mages, when they feel their soul force running low, they would stop refining magic pills and take the appropriate amount of rest before starting again. If not, they could incur some sort of aftereffect. Such as exhausting their soul force and being unable to recover for some time. Or being extremely fatigued, unable to move for a few days, and things like that.
And here, You XiaoMo actually overuses his soul force while refining magic pills. Ling Xiao doesn’t get it. Yet he still lifts him up. Unexpectedly, this young boy is lighter than he imagined. After placing him on the bed, Ling Xiao’s eyes fall on the magic pill firmly grasped in his hand. Is this that magic pill?
Ling Xiao pries open his fingers one by one and takes the magic pill. It’s only a level one magic pill. Looks pretty common. The spiritual energy it contains still cannot compare to the place where he used to live.
But ——- this level one magic pill is quite different from the one he ate yesterday. It’s as if the energy contained inside is even more pure, even more concentrated. Most importantly the impurities is much less compared to the ones from yesterday. This point amazes him. Looks like this convenient Little brother can really give him such a pleasant surprise, You XiaoMo turns around and immediately crashes into those smiling eyes of Ling Xiao, tinged with mischief and hidden meaning.
This type of expression is the one that You XiaoMo loathes the most. Because during that night in He Ping town, that was the exact expression Ling Xiao had when he finished off several bottles of magic pills.
Seeing him look at him, especially that look of suspicion, Ling Xiao laughs and says wickedly: “If you are looking for that magic pill, I’m sorry to say, I ate it.” Saying this, he licks his lower lip, as if savoring the aftertaste!
