Chapter 110: White Lotus Third Grade
Charcoal suddenly felt a little startled, snorting as he turned to his left and right, with his four
hooves slowly backing away anxiously.
It was not the first time that Charcoal had experienced the little ones’ might. Every time it had
been disobedient, Miao Yi would use these little guys to teach it a lesson.
Charcoal was very morose when facing the little ones. Even though it had greater speed, the
island was nothing against the sheer numbers of them; they would flock after it and block its
path, able to strike a vicious blow against it at any time.
It was no use diving into the ocean either, as the little ones had the advantage in speed under
water. In addition, the sensation of getting stung in the ocean was worse than it was on land; if
Miao Yi didn’t go and rescue it, it could very well drown in the ocean.
With no way to retreat, Charcoal could only turn around, taking a leap with its strong hooves,
and landed on the ship. Its head was drooping as it obediently entered the inner storeroom of
the stern with pressure from the little ones. It obediently let Miao Yi hook the chain onto its
body, and started running around the capstan, as the natural-born super driving force…..
After a day at sea, the ship had returned to the ‘dock’ inside the reefy cliffs.
Miao Yi rode off with Qian’Er and Xue’Er back to East Arrival Cave.
Life on the island obviously couldn’t compare to East Arrival Cave’s luxuries, Qian’Er and
Xue’Er were completely ecstatic to return again. To them, this was their home.
For the two young ladies, the first order of business upon returning was to immediately gather
a handmaiden from each of the respective cultivation residences to clean up the courtyard.
This was the authority belonging to the Cave Master’s handmaidens; the entire East Arrival
Cave’s handmaidens looked to them as their leaders.
However, they didn’t need the others to help clean the Cave Master’s sleeping quarters, as this
was an area that only the two of them were allowed to enter; they would not allow other
him as he made haste for Mount Calming Sea.
There was no reason other than to bring along more people as insurance.
Journeying through the wind and snow, Miao Yi rushed to Mount Calming Sea, and proceeded
alone to the Mount Calming Sea Grand Hall, where he was led by Lu Liu into the loft that
Mountain Chieftain Qin Weiwei enjoyed spending her time at.
Inside the loft, Qin Weiwei, wearing a dress as white as snow, was talking amicably with
Gongsun Yu, another Cave Master. Miao Yi had heard before that this Gongsun Yu was the Cave
Master that Qin Weiwei favoured the most.
However, upon seeing Miao Yi appear, Qin Weiwei instantly turned cold; her expression when
facing Miao Yi was less than pleasant.
After Hong Mian and Lu Liu confirmed the items that were being handed over, Qin Weiwei gave
the report from East Arrival Cave a look through, then placed it to the side as she said
indifferently, “Cave Master Miao, this year you need not journey to South Edict Manor. Return
to your East Arrival Cave.”
Quickly returning to East Arrival Cave, Miao Yi once again left all East Arrival Cave matters to
Yan Xiu, before turning around and bringing Qian’Er and Xue’Er to disappear once more; his
destination was clearly that island again.
Only Qian’Er and Xue’Er were a little disappointed as they had just finished cleaning the
quarters...
Spring came and went.
With the passing waves of spring, comes the ruthless heat of the blazing summer, followed by
the dreary billowing of the autumn breeze.
At the peak of autumn, Qian’Er and Xue’Er were a little shocked to find the Cave Master that
only knew how to cultivate, regardless of night or day, had actually came out of the cave and
was slowly walking to the great sea by himself.
The two of them quietly followed behind, only to see the Cave Master standing silently on the
reefs by the shore with his clothes fluttering in the wind, his figure appearing a little lonesome.
They were not sure what the Cave Master was thinking about right now.
After ten long months, he had finally completed refining that mid-grade Orb of Will, and thus
Miao Yi’s cultivation had also reached White Lotus Third Grade as he expected.
But he couldn’t derive any joy from it.
As he had predicted, when his cultivation reached White Lotus Third Grade, an inner scan of the
art source inside his body revealed the required amount of Orbs of Will needed to break through
to Fourth Grade had once again doubled; needing almost another twenty low-grade Orbs of Will
to ensure breaking through to Fourth Grade.
If he were to calculate based on this, then he would need forty orbs to break through to Fifth
Grade, and another eighty orbs to break through to Sixth Grade. At this rate, it would be a
heavenly sum and with a Cave Master’s share of orbs every year, who knew how long it would
be for him to reach the Blue Lotus realm.
The both of them had more or less fallen under Miao Yi’s influence as well. Truthfully, they
spent most of their time cultivating; at least they could kill some leisure time by doing this and
not waste their lives away on this island.
Two months later, when Miao Yi had finished refining the Orb of Will in his mouth, he
withdrew from cultivation once more; another year had passed, and winter had come once
again.
After the three of them returned to East Arrival Cave, Qian’Er and Xue’Er guessed that their
cultivation fanatic Cave Master was planning on heading back to the island and continue
cultivating after going to Mount Calming Sea and back, so they didn’t have the same
enthusiasm for cleaning the courtyard as they had the time before.
