Douluo: My Custom Achievement System

The image of that graceful figure in cyan flashed through Li Lingyu's mind, and he came back to his senses.

"All right. I'll be there when the time comes."

"That's wonderful," Jiang Yi said with a smile.

Li Lingyu then gave Jiang Nannan a detailed explanation of the Soft Bone Rabbit's bloodline attributes and offered her some advice on her fourth Soul Ring.

As for Jiang Yi, the direction of the Soul Rings for his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was basically set, and he had ideas of his own, so Li Lingyu did not offer much advice.

Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan did not leave Lingshan Junior Academy until the afternoon.

In the blink of an eye, about twenty days had passed, and the New Year was just around the corner.

The cold weather could not dampen Spirit Mountain City's residents' enthusiasm for the New Year, and they had already decorated their homes.

Outside Spirit Mountain City, Jiang Yi sat cross-legged in the middle of that vast field of Blue Silver Grass.

His presence blended seamlessly with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass. Without looking closely, one would not even notice that there was a human among it.

The Blue Silver Grass swayed continuously in the cold wind, while invisible life force surged and gathered around Jiang Yi.

After about three minutes, the fluctuations of life force gradually subsided.

Jiang Yi slowly opened his eyes and raised the glass bottle in his right hand.

The blue liquid inside occupied two tenths of the bottle.

The liquid radiated a rich life force and shone like a diamond in the sunlight.

Chapter 50: Powerful Life Force, a Healed Heart (Please Keep Reading!)

Looking at the blue liquid in his hand that radiated the breath of life, Jiang Yi broke into a delighted smile.

"After more than twenty days, I've finally extracted a decent amount of life essence."

After obtaining the Essence Extraction skill, he had eagerly tried to extract life essence.

However, the life force contained in a single blade of Blue Silver Grass could only be described as faint, and Jiang Yi did not want to drain the pond to catch the fish.

So each time he absorbed life force from Blue Silver Grass, he took only about forty percent, leaving it enough vitality to regenerate.

Once its life force had been absorbed, a blade of Blue Silver Grass could not be used again for a short while.

Under these circumstances, each extraction of life essence required a considerable amount of mental effort.

On top of that, he devoted most of his time to cultivating his Soul Power. Extracting this much life essence in just over twenty days was already quite an accomplishment.

Jiang Yi divided the life essence in the glass bottle into two portions and returned to Spirit Mountain City.

New Year's Eve was tomorrow, and Jiang Yi's home had long since been decorated.

In the kitchen, Aunt Rou was cooking and preparing food for the New Year.

Jiang Yi walked into the kitchen and said with a smile, "Aunt Rou, let me help you."

With that, he skillfully lent Aunt Rou a hand. As a child, he had often helped her with chores, not wanting her to overwork herself and develop heart problems.

Aunt Rou gave him a gentle smile. Clearly, she was happy too.

With Jiang Yi's help, the two of them soon finished preparing the New Year provisions.

A gentle smile on her face, Aunt Rou said, "All right, Little Yi, you can go out now. I can prepare the rest myself. I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Jiang Yi did not leave immediately. Instead, he took the glass bottle containing the life essence directly out of his Storage Soul Tool.

"Aunt Rou, I obtained this bottle of medicine myself a while ago. It's highly effective at treating congenital illnesses."

"Although your heart has never given you trouble, it's still a hidden danger. Taking this medicine can remove that danger."

Aunt Rou looked at the bottle of life essence in Jiang Yi's hand, a look of gratification and emotion on her face.

"Little Yi, I'm fine, I don't..." Although she was touched, Aunt Rou began to refuse.

"Aunt Rou, there's no need to refuse. Given enough time, I can obtain plenty of this medicine. Your health is what matters most."

With a serious expression, Jiang Yi placed the medicine in Aunt Rou's hand, leaving no room for argument.

Touched as she was, Aunt Rou wanted to put the medicine away and take it later.

"Aunt Rou, take it now," Jiang Yi urged.

Only after seeing Aunt Rou drink the medicine with his own eyes could he be completely at ease.

Aunt Rou smiled helplessly and opened the bottle on the spot, intending to drink it in one gulp.

But once she opened it, the rich life force that washed over her instantly lifted her spirits.

Just one sniff made her feel comfortable all over, as though she had suddenly become a few years younger.

"Little Yi, can you really obtain this just by spending time?" Aunt Rou asked in disbelief.

Even though she was not a Soul Master, she could tell how precious it was.

Jiang Yi smiled. "Of course. As long as I'm willing to spend the time, I can easily obtain this kind of medicine."

His confident smile convinced Aunt Rou, and she poured the medicine into her mouth.

The medicine melted the moment it entered her mouth, turning into a vast life force that surged through her limbs and bones, healing Aunt Rou as quietly as rain nourishing the earth.

The minor injuries that had accumulated in Aunt Rou's body over years of hard work were completely healed by the life force.

Then all the life essence surged toward Aunt Rou's heart. Its congenital deficiency was the most serious problem in her body.

Under the gentle caress of the life force, Aunt Rou closed her eyes involuntarily, her breathing calm as though she had fallen asleep.

A soft blue light radiated from her entire body.

"It's working." Jiang Yi watched the scene with delight.

If the life essence could directly cure Aunt Rou's congenital heart deficiency, nothing could be better.

Aunt Rou remained in that state, and Jiang Yi stood guard beside her so he could help in time if anything unexpected happened.

After about five minutes, the life force gradually settled, and Aunt Rou's body slumped to one side.

Jiang Yi hurriedly caught Aunt Rou, sensing the steady breath of life within her.

Her face, which had long been somewhat pale and looked lacking in vitality, had also grown rosy. Jiang Yi knew that the congenital deficiency in Aunt Rou's heart had been cured.

"That's wonderful."

Overjoyed, Jiang Yi helped Aunt Rou back to her room and let her rest on the bed.

As for the dishes Aunt Rou had not finished preparing, Jiang Yi took over and finished them for him.

At dinnertime, Aunt Rou slowly woke in her room. At first she was a little confused, but as soon as she stood up, she felt unusually light.

Her body, which had once felt somewhat empty, now felt full again.

"It was that bottle of medicine from Little Yi," Aunt Rou realized.

"Its effects were actually so powerful, yet that child Little Yi didn't keep such precious medicine for himself."

Though her words were a scolding, Aunt Rou had a smile on her face.

"Aunt Rou, come have dinner," Jiang Yi called out.

Aunt Rou opened her door and walked out to find that Jiang Yi had already prepared a table full of dishes, with Jiang Nannan sitting nearby.

When she saw Aunt Rou, Jiang Nannan's eyes suddenly widened.

"Mom, you've become so beautiful!"

Jiang Nannan's surprised words made Aunt Rou reach up and touch her cheek.

She had not noticed it herself, but after taking the life essence, her complexion had improved tremendously, and the fine wrinkles on her face had vanished completely.

She seemed to have become several years younger all at once.

"Hehe, Mom is old now. Our Nannan is the pretty one." Aunt Rou walked over and gently stroked Jiang Nannan's hair.

"Let's not talk about that now. Let's eat," Aunt Rou said with a smile.

Now that her mother had spoken, Jiang Nannan did not press the matter and obediently ate her meal.

"Brother Jiang Yi, your cooking is delicious too," Jiang Nannan said, her eyes lighting up after one bite.

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan were putting up Spring Festival couplets together at home.

At a time like this, the two had a tacit understanding not to use their Martial Soul abilities. Otherwise, they could have finished everything easily.

And then it would not have felt like the New Year.

Jiang Nannan wore a smile, not only because she enjoyed moments like this, but also because Jiang Yi had told her the night before that Aunt Rou's heart condition had been completely cured.

Full of New Year's Eve joy, the two ate breakfast and went into the city for fun, just as they did every New Year's Eve.

Night soon fell, and the city briefly grew quiet, for it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Knock, knock. Someone rapped gently on the door.

Jiang Yi went over and opened it. Li Lingyu stood outside, holding gifts.

"Teacher, come in. We've been waiting for you," Jiang Yi said with a smile.

Li Lingyu was pulled inside, a smile appearing on his face as well.

Chapter 51: An Excited Li Lingyu (Please Keep Reading!)

With Li Lingyu joining them, the New Year's Eve dinner, which had previously been shared by three people, became a little livelier.

The happy time soon passed. On the first day of the New Year, Jiang Yi went to Lingshan Junior Academy to find Li Lingyu.

He still had half the life essence and intended to give it to Li Lingyu to experiment with.

The life essence had directly cured Aunt Rou's heart, so it was sure to have an effect on Li Lingyu's injuries as well.

Although there was not much life essence at present, it would not hurt to let Li Lingyu try it first.

The door to Li Lingyu's room stood wide open. To Jiang Yi's surprise, Li Lingyu, who spent the whole year either studying theories or researching medicines,

had placed a chair outside the door and was reclining in it, enjoying the warmth of the sun.

"Teacher," Jiang Yi called, his expression a little strange.

Li Lingyu opened his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Yi. "What is it? There isn't much time left in your holiday. Why aren't you out having fun instead of coming to see me so early?"

"Teacher, Shrek Academy has an assessment after the term begins. It's one thing not to tell me to cultivate, but you're actually telling me to go play," Jiang Yi complained helplessly.

Li Lingyu said mildly, "Don't I know how strong you are? Shrek Academy's assessment is difficult, but it won't pose a problem for you."

Jiang Yi smiled at that and stopped dwelling on the matter with Li Lingyu.

"Teacher, I came today because I have something for you to study," Jiang Yi stated the purpose of his visit directly.

"Oh? What is it?" Li Lingyu immediately became interested and sat up in his reclining chair.

Anything that could interest this disciple of his was bound to be valuable.

Jiang Yi took out the remaining half of the life essence. Li Lingyu's eyes widened at once, and he stared fixedly at the bottle of blue-glowing liquid.

"Such vigorous life force. What is in there?" Li Lingyu could not help asking.

"This is pure life essence. I extracted it from Blue Silver Grass using a special method."

"Extracted from Blue Silver Grass?" Hearing this, Li Lingyu immediately recalled that Jiang Yi had the ability to absorb life force from Blue Silver Grass.

Could this ability have advanced another step? Could he now extract life force and condense it into life essence, rather than merely absorbing it to replenish himself?

Li Lingyu did not dwell on the matter. His attention had already been completely drawn to the life essence in the bottle.

At that moment, Jiang Yi continued.

"I extracted some life essence over the past few days and gave half of it to Aunt Rou yesterday. The congenital deficiency in her heart was easily cured."

"Teacher, your extreme training and medicine testing have left you with very serious aftereffects."

"Although other medicines have had difficulty curing them, life essence might be able to. Take this portion and try it first."

"If it works, I'll extract more life essence for you later."
