Old Medicine's words made Lin Xiao's eyes light up. This pill was for him too?
Lin Xiao hurriedly asked, "Teacher, weren't these pills meant to help him recover?"
"If I take one, will he still be able to awaken?"
If that was the case, Lin Xiao was in no hurry to take it. There would be more later anyway. His Spirit Power might be weak right now, but it was not quite that pitiful.
Awakening Electrolux was what truly mattered.
Old Medicine smiled gently. "You, honestly. There are three pills. Two will be enough for him."
"The remaining one is just right for you."
Lin Xiao asked, "What about you, Teacher?"
At that, Old Medicine's heart trembled. Taking this disciple had not been in vain. "Little fellow, a second-tier pill won't do much for me."
"For you, it's just right."
Only then did Lin Xiao realize it. Of course, with Old Medicine's strength, a second-tier pill really would not have much effect.
For him, however, it was a different story. A second-tier pill could absolutely take his Spirit Power to the next level.
"Thank you, Teacher."
Old Medicine smiled in satisfaction. This disciple was a good one.
Taking the pill Old Medicine handed him, Lin Xiao examined it carefully before looking up at his teacher. "Teacher, what soul realm do I need to reach before I can imbue pills with spirituality?"
Lin Xiao knew that Old Medicine's soul realm was very high. After recovering and being resurrected, his soul had even reached the Heaven Realm. That was formidable indeed.
Right now, Old Medicine's soul should have been in the Spirit Realm.
In Battle Through The Heavens, soul realms were divided into the Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, Heaven Realm, and Emperor Realm.
"You need to reach the Spirit Realm. Imbuing spirituality-the word 'spirit' is the key."
"Little fellow, your soul hasn't even reached the Mortal Realm yet."
Lin Xiao gave an embarrassed chuckle. He knew he was weak, but he had not expected to be that weak.
"Teacher, if my Soul Power hasn't even reached the Mortal Realm, can I refine pills now?"
Lin Xiao was a little puzzled. Old Medicine had told him to get some practice earlier, but his Soul Power was not sufficient yet.
"Getting some practice means just that-practice. Once your Soul Power is sufficient, you can give it a real try."
"For now, memorize the key points I just explained and try your hand at refining."
Lin Xiao finally understood. As he was now, he amounted to nothing. He could only copy a gourd from a model, learning how the refining process worked.
Then, when he truly began refining pills in the future, there would be fewer mishaps.
For now, he was essentially laying the foundations.
"All right, little fellow. Take the pill first and improve your Soul Power."
"I'll go help that fellow recover."
With that, Old Medicine returned to the ring with the two pills.
Looking at the pill in his hand, Lin Xiao swallowed it without the slightest hesitation, then began absorbing its medicinal power.
The instant the pill entered his stomach, an immense surge of medicinal power poured out, gentle yet intoxicating.
While Lin Xiao absorbed his pill, Old Medicine was also using the other pills to help Electrolux recover.
With a light wave of Old Medicine's hand, the two pills flew into the sphere of light containing Electrolux. The next moment, Old Medicine's terrifying Soul Power crushed them outright.
The pills scattered, their medicinal power flowing steadily into Electrolux's soul.
Once that was done, Old Medicine continued aiding his recovery with dou qi.
Outside, Lin Xiao successfully absorbed the pill and immediately felt a sense of ease. His Spirit Power had indeed grown stronger. "I wonder if I've reached the Mortal Realm."
As he thought about it, he involuntarily shook his head. How could that be possible? If only it were that simple.
Entering the Mortal Realm with a single pill? That would be far too easy.
Just as Lin Xiao was pondering this, a voice rang out from the ring.
"Sun and moon in my grasp, I pluck the stars; none in this world can rival me!"
Immediately afterward, Old Medicine's exasperated voice followed. "Enough, enough. We've both died once already. How are you still showing off more than I do?"
Hearing Old Medicine's exasperated words, Lin Xiao could not help laughing.
"Heh!"
Electrolux chuckled despite himself. Indeed, they had both died once already.
"You... are very powerful. May I ask which deity you are?"
Electrolux could not yet manifest a body, but he could sense Old Medicine's formidable strength.
"A god? I'm no god. I'm merely an old fellow."
"But you-how did you end up even worse off than me, with only a wisp of your soul remaining?"
Old Medicine was no god. Even the gods of Douluo were merely half-grown children before him.
Hearing this, Electrolux also realized that Old Medicine was a Soul Body, though far more complete than his own-almost an entire soul.
"I no longer remember most of what happened before."
"Let the past remain in the past."
From the looks of it, Electrolux did not wish to say much. He truly had forgotten most of it, but the important things remained perfectly clear.
"True enough."
"It was only a little wind and frost."
Old Medicine understood that feeling. Some things were best left in the past. Having already died once, what was there that he could not let go of?
As Lin Xiao would put it, it was only a little wind and frost.
"Hahahaha!"
"Only a little wind and frost. Only a little wind and frost!"
The more Electrolux considered those words, the more sense they made. At this point in his existence, was it not all merely a little wind and frost?
The past could not be chased down. Now, it was nothing more than memories.
"May I ask your name, venerable elder?"
Electrolux had grown interested in Old Medicine. How had someone so powerful been reduced to this?
"Venerable Yao, Yao Chen!" Old Medicine gave his name and title as well.
Then Electrolux continued, "The Holy Necromancer, the Undead Calamity-Electrolux!"
Old Medicine was taken aback by that string of titles. This Electrolux fellow was rather fond of showing off.
Never mind, never mind. Perhaps he would not have ended up like this if he had not been such a show-off.
Old Medicine mused incredulously to himself.
Outside, Lin Xiao listened in bewilderment. Had those two simply struck up a conversation like that?
Immediately afterward, the two old men began chatting again.
Electrolux marveled at Old Medicine's strength, while Old Medicine learned about Electrolux's abilities. Both possessed powerful Soul Power, and for a time, they found plenty of common ground.
They were the only two inside the ring, and both were equally knowledgeable. They chatted with boundless delight.
Lin Xiao simply listened quietly.
Until, at last, Electrolux said, "I can teach the little fellow outside magic."
That remark shifted their conversation to Lin Xiao.
"You're not ready yet. It won't be too late to teach him once you can manifest a human form."
Old Medicine could sense his condition. Electrolux was still very weak and could do little more than speak.
"With you here, none of that will be a problem."
Electrolux said it with a smile.
Old Medicine really wanted to punch the fellow. Now he was latching onto him.
"Senior, may I ask if there's anything that could help you recover quickly?"
"Other than my teacher's pills."
Lin Xiao asked from outside. Although he knew the answer, he could not make it too obvious.
"The little fellow has hit the nail on the head."
"I don't have pills powerful enough right now either. I can't restore you in such a short time."
Old Medicine spoke calmly.
"In my world, there is a treasure called spirit gold."
"At this stage, that treasure would be the best thing for healing my injuries."
"If you can find even a small piece, I'll be able to recover some of my strength."
Spirit gold? Old Medicine had never heard of it. Puzzled, he asked, "What exactly is this spirit gold?"
