Breaking Fate

[Heavenly Craft Academy] is located in a residential area near "Spring Breeze and Transforming Rain".

In Tang Yuehua's courtyard hall, the brother and sister ignored the exquisite dishes served by the maids, their eyes instead fixed on a wooden bucket on the corner of the table.

The wooden barrel was very ordinary, no more than thirty centimeters high and about the same diameter, with few decorations and just ordinary material.

What truly captivated Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua, the legitimate son and daughter of the world's number one sect, was the rice in the wooden bucket.

Shaped like a crescent moon, each grain is crystal clear and plump, like Zhenzhu or jade, as if it were not rice for people to eat, but a rare treasure in the world.

"This is..." Tang Yuehua's eyes sparkled as she looked at the exquisitely presented rice, her expression radiating both delight and curiosity. "Blue Silver Rice?"

In that instant, Tang Yuehua was struck by inspiration and felt a strong urge to capture the image of the bucket of rice through carving.

The wooden bucket is easy to solve; it's just an ordinary wooden bucket for holding rice. But what material should be used for the rice?

"Mutton fat jade"? "Smooth jade crystal"? "Starlight Zhenzhu"?...

"... Yuehua... Yuehua..."

The voice of her elder Tang Xiao, rang in her ears, interrupting Tang Yuehua's thoughts and associations, and pulling her back to the dining table.

"What are you thinking about?" Tang Xiao asked, then continued, "Eat it while it's hot. The ' Blue Silver Rice ' I brought this time isn't the qualified grade that the Spirit Hall spreads across the continent. It's a tribute grade specially brought from the Water Wood Duchy. The energy contained in just this bucket of rice is comparable to that of a twenty-year-old ginseng, and it's even easier to absorb. It's perfect for you... uh..."

Tang Xiao suddenly stopped mid-sentence and glanced cautiously at his sister, whose expression remained unchanged.

Unfortunately, the fact that Tang Yuehua's Soul Power remained at level nine and could not break through to level ten was a taboo subject for the Tang Family, who were afraid that Tang Yuehua would not be able to accept this situation.

Compared to Tang Xiao's worries, Tang Yuehua didn't care at all, and said with a smile, "Really? Then I'll have to eat more. I've made some progress in my cultivation of the Basic Body Tempering Technique recently, and I always feel hungry. The medicinal food provided by the academy is too nourishing, and I can only drink a little bit each time. If I just eat meat, I'll build up muscles..."

Seeing Tang Yuehua like this, Tang Xiao's heart, which had just been hanging in suspense, was relieved, but then he felt a pang of sadness.

The little girl, only twelve years old, should have been the apple of the eye of the sect and family, but she has been staying in this academy thousands of miles away from the sect.

Furthermore, Tang Xiao also understood why his younger sister, Tang Yuehua, practiced the "Basic Body Tempering Technique." It was because her Soul Power was not progressing and she chose to temper her physique instead. With the Azure Nether Divine Sword that her Brother Hao had obtained for her, she could also possess a certain level of combat power.

Tang Xiao had previously spoken with the guards arranged by his family and learned that his younger sister, Tang Yuehua, was so diligent in cultivating the Basic Body Tempering Technique that even within the Heavenly Craft Academy, few could match her.

If it weren't for that Mimicry Cultivation Ground called "Spring Breeze and Transforming Rain," which had Soul Skill effects comparable to Healing System Soul Master, Tang Yuehua's body would have collapsed long ago due to the oppressive training she underwent.

The children of the Tang Family are all tough and indomitable!

Tang Xiao thought to himself.

Fortunately, this time Tang Xiao didn't just come to deliver tribute-grade "Blue Silver Rice" to his sister to improve her meals.

After Tang Yuehua ate half of a bucket of rice and forced the other half onto Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao devoured all the food on the table. He then wiped his mouth, took out an exquisitely crafted jade box from his Storage Soul Tool, and placed it in front of Tang Yuehua.

Tang Yuehua glanced at the jade box, then looked up at Tang Xiao, her starry eyes revealing curiosity.

Tang Xiao smiled slightly and introduced, "More than two months ago, Yang Shelly, a collateral descendant of the [Breaking Clan], contacted Yang Wushuang of the main branch through her parents, saying that she had information about the whereabouts of the ' Gold-Rimmed Scarlet Dragon Ganoderma '."

"Yang Shelly? ' Gold-Rimmed Scarlet Dragon Ganoderma '?" Tang Yuehua was very interested in these two names.

She knew about the former; she had heard the association president Lou Gao, mention it when she first came to Gengxin City at the Blacksmith Association headquarters.

Speaking of which, the "Azure Nether Sword" in his hand seems to have been forged by the unseen Divine Craftsman Ling Yi after observing the Martial Soul and Soul Skill in Yang Shelly's hands.

As for "Gold-Rimmed Scarlet Dragon Ganoderma"?

It seems to be some kind of precious medicinal material, a variant of Ganoderma lucidum?

Tang Yuehua didn't know much about medicinal herbs, only some common ones. She learned about them from listening to the students who chose to study medicine and agriculture in the "Spring Breeze and Transforming Rain" program.

Tang Yuehua, who was a few months shy of thirteen, had spent over a year at the Heavenly Craft Academy and the next ten years or so at the Clear Sky Sect, and no one had ever mentioned medicinal herbs to her. Even members of the Yang Clan Breaking Clan rarely discussed these things with her.

Tang Xiao didn't know much about Yang Shelly. Previously, Tang Hao had accompanied Tang Yuehua to Gengxin City, and after returning, he went to the Slaughter City for training. He didn't tell his older brother much about his experiences at the Blacksmith Association.

Nodding, Tang Xiao continued, "I don't know much about the ' Gold-Rimmed Scarlet Dragon Ganoderma.' I've only heard Yang Wudi mention that it seems only places bathed in the blood of true dragons can grow such a rare and precious mushroom."

After a pause, Tang Xiao suddenly asked, "Yuehua, do you still remember the Yang Clan's secret medicine?"

"I remember." Tang Yuehua nodded. Two years ago, when she was ten years old, the Yang Clan gave her a single dose of secret medicine to nourish her body.

"This contains a new secret medicine personally prepared by Yang Wudi. The main ingredient, the century-old Ganoderma lucidum, has been replaced with the ' Gold-Rimmed Scarlet Dragon Ganoderma.' The Yang Clan has also replaced the other ingredients with those of similar quality..." Tang Xiao introduced.

According to Yang Wudi, this newly formulated secret medicine is at least twenty times more potent than the original, yet it remains mild and easily absorbed.

"Ling Yi, the creator of the Basic Body Tempering Technique, said that if you master at least three of the twelve bird and beast forms of the Basic Body Tempering Technique to a state of perfect form and spirit, and combine that with this new secret medicinal bath, you should be able to achieve the physique of a first-ring Beast Martial Soul One-Ring Soul Master, which requires all twelve forms to be perfected!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua's eyes lit up, and she looked at her elder Tang Xiao in disbelief.

In response, Tang Xiao gave him an affirmative look and nodded vigorously.

Just kidding. You should know that among the precious medicinal herbs that were being replaced, one of them, the thousand-year-old "Rhinoceros Earth Dragon" Spinal Marrow Pearl, was something that Tang Xiao personally hunted and obtained.

The Spinal Marrow Pearl of the thousand-year-old "Rhinoceros Earth Dragon" alone can increase the strength of an ordinary Soul Master by several hundred kilograms!

That is to say, Tang Yuehua's Soul Power is only level nine. Otherwise, just by consuming the Spinal Marrow Pearl, she could have forcibly increased her physical strength.

Of course, after being made into a secret medicine by Yang Wudi, it did not mean that the efficacy of the thousand-year-old "Rhinoceros Earth Dragon" Spinal Marrow Pearl was wasted. Rather, through the combination of various precious medicines, the potent medicinal effects were transformed into gentle energy that was more easily absorbed by the human body. While strengthening physical fitness, it could also repair internal injuries, replenish vital energy, and enhance potential.

According to Yang Wudi and Ling Yi's deductions, if Tang Yuehua's luck is good enough, she may be able to break through the bottleneck of her Soul Power at level nine in one fell swoop by this medicinal bath enhancement, and forcibly raise her Soul Power to level ten through the powerful medicinal power and the body's Qi and Blood.

In this way, Tang Yuehua could at least become a One-Ring Soul Master.

To be continued tomorrow, goodnight everyone~
