People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

81: Chapter 81 Medicine Spirit: Impossible, absolutely impossible[Yao Ling is a member of the Medicine Clan and a genius of the Medicine Clan’s current younger generation. When she makes her debut fifteen years from now, she will possess the cultivation of an Initial Half-Saint and a Late Heaven State soul. It’s hard to say what her current cultivation is, likely around the Dou Zong level. She will break through to Dou Zun in about three years, reach Peak Dou Zun in another five, and spend seven years completing the Nine Transformations to reach the Half-Saint level.]

[In terms of cultivation talent alone, Yao Ling’s Dou Di Bloodline level isn’t exceptionally high, unable to compare to her elder brother Yao Tian or the top geniuses of other Imperial Clans, but her talent in the soul aspect is publicly recognized as number one.]

[Considered by Patriarch Yao Dan as a clansman with the potential to reach the ”emperor realm” soul. Her powerful soul talent stems from a special physique; at the Half-Saint level, her blood can restore the Dou Qi and Soul Power of a Dou Sheng.]

[A Ninth-Grade Alchemist at such a young age, she is essentially a super-enhanced Imperial Clan version of Cao Ying.]

Cao Ying: !!!

I was just wondering who Yao Ling was, and I’m quite satisfied that you provided the answer immediately.

But I’m very dissatisfied that you went into such detail and insisted on putting me down just to describe Yao Ling.

What do you mean by ’super-enhanced Imperial Clan version’? So what if she’s an Initial Half-Saint at a young age, with a Late Heaven State soul and a Ninth-Grade Alchemist? She... although I really can’t compare to that yet, that was in the past.

Since you intend to nurture me to be stronger than Yao Ling, you shouldn’t look at the present with eyes of the past.

”Come quickly, Xiao Ting, you must come quickly.”

”If you come to find me, I’ll even acknowledge you as my master.”

Cao Ying, wearing elegant pajamas, knelt on the bed looking at the journal copy. Her exquisite face was full of seriousness as she stretched her hands forward and began to pray devoutly.

Cao Ying had no doubt about Xiao Ting’s words regarding helping her surpass Yao Ling.

If nothing else, as long as Xiao Ting wrote her name in the Diary every day, allowing her to receive the Plane Blessing of ”increased alchemy experience” and ”increased soul power,” the accumulation over the years would be a staggering improvement, enough for her to attain a Late Heaven State soul and become a Ninth-Grade Alchemist before the age of thirty.

With the prophetic information Xiao Ting possessed, helping her become a Dou Sheng within fifteen years clearly wouldn’t be difficult either.

The most important point was that Yao Lao was an Alchemist even stronger than the Dan Ta Three Giants.

Although nominally still Eighth-Grade, it was said he could already attempt to refine Ninth-Grade pills.

With Xiao Ting receiving Yao Lao’s guidance and having talent so great that he succeeded in his first attempt at alchemy, his future was limitless; he was more than qualified to be her teacher!

”Xiao Ting come, Xiao Ting come, Xiao Ting come quickly from the Northwest Continent.”

Cao Ying lay on the bed, muttering to herself.

At the same time, on a large bed in a small courtyard of the Xiao Family, Xun’er’s gaze narrowed slightly.

That Yao Ling actually raised her soul realm to the Late Heaven State at such a young age; this was even rarer than breaking through to Dou Sheng.

Although only an Initial Half-Saint, her Late Heaven State soul gave her enough strength to contend with a One-Star Dou Sheng.

It seemed the current generation of young people in the various Imperial Clans all had excellent talent; she couldn’t afford to be complacent.

”Yao Ling, huh...”

In a city at the southeasternmost corner of the Northwest Continent, Huo Zhi removed the veil from her face, revealing a face as bright as a pearl and as beautiful as jade, with a radiance that was almost overwhelming.

She had always heard rumors about this young person from the Medicine Clan who could compete with her, especially since she was one of the few female cultivators.

In terms of overall strength, the Yan Clan was much stronger than the Medicine Clan, but the Medicine Clan had a unique advantage in their pervasive culture of alchemy.

Now, she finally had a somewhat clear understanding of this rival.

”I wonder if he knows enough about me.” A seductive red light flickered in Huo Zhi’s dark eyes.

[The Medicine Clan, an Imperial Clan even more arrogant and haughty than the Gu Clan, making people think a Dou Di is still alive among them.]

[The Disciplinary Elder takes the lead in perverting the law, a Four-Star Dou Sheng clamors against a Four-Star Dou Sheng of the Gu Clan; the ’strongest kings’ are constantly being slapped in the face.]

[Seeing as Yao Lao and I have a master-disciple relationship in all but name, I’ll take the opportunity to seek justice for him when the time comes.]

[Before the Medicine Clan becomes history.]

[...]

As the Diary reached this point, Xiao Ting entered a meditative state to visualize the Purple Heaven Flame, his body having already entered a state of cultivation.

Yao Lao had long ago taught Xiao Yan that replacing rest with cultivation after every alchemy session could not only increase cultivation time but also improve efficiency.

An Alchemist who found the right method would not delay the speed of their cultivation and strength improvement just because they were distracted by learning alchemy.

With a successful example before him, Xiao Ting naturally followed suit, especially since he had a visualization map to focus on.

”This kid’s talent is extraordinarily high; he actually threw himself into cultivation immediately after finishing his alchemy.” Looking at the meditating Xiao Ting, Yao Lao’s eyes were full of appreciation.

Meanwhile, in an independent small world somewhere in the Central Plains.

”Rumble!”

Above a mountain peak, dark clouds gathered, silver snakes danced wildly, and a terrifying aura converged.

The space nearby suddenly shattered, and an elder stepped out, stroking his beard with a smile and nodding: ”The Pill Lightning is gathering; Little Ling’er has successfully broken through to the Seventh-Grade at the age of sixteen. Very good.”

But in the next moment, his expression changed abruptly because just as the Pill Lightning in the sky was about to fall, it suddenly seemed to lose some kind of attraction; after wandering in the dark clouds for a while, it dissipated into nothingness.

”How can this be!?” The elder showed a confused expression. ”For Pill Lightning to fail after it has already formed... unless Little Ling’er actively ended the refinement, but why?”

The elder’s guess was correct; Yao Ling had indeed ”actively” ended the refinement.

However, this ”activeness” was not a conscious choice on her part, but because for a split second, she had almost died.

By the time she recovered, the medicinal pill that had formed in the medicine cauldron was accidentally turned into a surge of medicinal energy by her and swallowed directly.

But this was not intentional; she had received the Plane Blessing: [Physique Awakening: Directly Swallow Pill Energy Once].

”Boom!”

Not long after, the aura of a Two-Star Dou Zong emanated from Yao Ling’s body.

But she did not feel happy about her increase in strength; her elegant and refined face held only solemnity.

Being warned by the journal copy and then receiving a Plane Blessing was the ultimate performance of a slap followed by a reward.

She had no doubt about the Diary’s authenticity.

In other words, the Medicine Clan really would become ”history.”

Did this mean the Medicine Clan would be annihilated, or would it completely decline?

According to the tropes in storybooks, Xiao Yan was the protagonist, Yao Lao was Xiao Yan’s mentor, and the Medicine Clan was destined to be the villain.

The end for a villain was either being stepped upon or disappearing entirely.

Precisely because she realized this, she gave birth to the idea of kidnapping Xiao Ting and bringing him to the Medicine Clan.

With Xiao Ting as a card in her hand, any situation could be mitigated.

As a result, she was warned by the Diary, and her heart felt as if it were being crushed.

”If force doesn’t work, then I’ll use gentler methods.” Yao Ling’s thoughts shifted.

After thinking in her cave dwelling for a while, she raised her hand to undo the spatial barrier and walked out.

As soon as she got outside, she saw an elder appear, who asked, ”Little Ling’er, did your alchemy fail?”

”Ninth Grandfather, I succeeded.” A faint smile appeared on Yao Ling’s cool face. ”It’s just that after the pill was formed, it was directly absorbed by my physique, saving the process of undergoing the lightning tribulation.”
