Yi Lei Fang slowly toured around the dimensional space, enduring the pain and numbness with every movement she took. Nonetheless, within five minutes, the aching went away. She was shocked by how her body improved so fast in here! Now, she was able to tour around a lot smoother!
While walking, she spotted a beautiful mini waterfall with a clear blue pond. Yi Lei Fang excitedly picked up her pace towards the pond. She bent down and cupped her hands into the water. Surprisingly, the water was not cold but warm. Feeling thirsty all of a sudden, Yi Lei Fang leaned forward and took a sip of the water from her hands. The water smoothly went down her throat as energy gushed throughout her meridians.
Yi Lei Fang was shocked that she had spiritual water in her dimensional space! Her eyes glistened with excitement before her own reflection caught her eyes as she peered down on the water's surface.
Yi Lei Fang saw a peerless beauty that can cause the downfall of a country. A woman with a heart shaped face, long silky black hair, almond eyes with pale purple iris. She had a perfect straight nose and thin pink lips, with perfect sharp eyebrows.
The original owner is such a beauty, thought Yi Lei Fang.
After taking a few more minutes to look at herself, Yi Lei Fang soon realized there was a spiritual and foreign energy strongly floating freely in the dimension. As her body greedily absorbed the energy, she felt more clear headed.
Since the plane is a martial arts and qingong world, plus the fact that the original owner of the body was killed by her husband, she needed to get stronger to prevent that.
Taking advantage of the energies floating around, she sat in a lotus position by the mini waterfall. She concentrated on the flow of energy and channeled it through her meridians, filling up her lower dantian, the sea of qi.
Yi Lei Fang can feel her bones strengthening and becoming more flexible. She could feel her martial arts getting stronger and her qigong advancing to a higher level. She also sensed seven different energies surrounding her lower dantian; a black, a white, purple, blue, green, red, and an orange energy.
She realized that the foreign energies are elemental energies with each color forming the element of darkness (black), light (white), thunder (purple), water (blue), wind (green), fire (red), and earth (orange).
After cultivating for several hours, the sea of qi was completely filled up, not leaving any room to spare
After cultivating for several hours, the sea of qi was completely filled up, not leaving any room to spare. An explosion of colorful energy shot out of Yi Lei Fang's body, making her body feel stronger and lighter. She opened her eyes and was fascinated that her sense of hearing and sight improved greatly. She can hear every movement from the spiritual koi fish in the pond. And when she focused her vision on a petal of a magnolia flower, she could see great details of the cell structure.
Yi Lei Fang became excited with the increased power of her martial arts. She wanted to go out and test out the original owner's martial art along with her military fighting skills. Besides other than martial arts, she is more excited with the advancement of her qingong which only existed in Chinese martial arts movies, or historical Asian drama! How fun would it be jumping from house to house, or tree to tree? Just thinking about it made Yi Lei Fang's blood boil with ecstasy!
Before Yi Lei Fang went jumping around from place to place, she went to go see what was inside the pagoda, the very last place she hasn't visited.
When Yi Lei Fang stepped inside the pagoda, her jaw dropped forming a "o" and her eyes bulged out. The pagoda is surrounded by a variety of books! In the center stood a big wooden table and on the table is a smooth mortar with a pestle, an antique bronze steelyard balance scale with an easy-to-read dial displayed hanging from the other end, and a three legged gold crock-pot with each dragon displayed as a handle, along with two phoenixes carved at the front and back of the pot. There were also different kinds of brushes hanging on a wooden stand and in front of it were stacks of paper neatly piled together.
Other than that, there were different sizes and shapes of flasks, and a rack with different test tubes. There were beakers, pipettes, glass rod, forceps, funnel, buret, Bunsen burners, scalpels, microscope, syringes with different gauge needles, retort, a stand with a clamp and a burette as well as many more laboratory equipment.
While Yi Lei Fang was too immersed with the scene in front of her, she did not realize Xiao Bao was flying beside her until he spoke out, "Goddess, if you don't close your mouth, soon a bug will fly there."
Yi Lei Fang screamed and slapped Xiao Bao across the face. A reflex she couldn't control ever since Ju Long breathed down her neck back then at the restaurant's parking garage.
Yes, her brain triggered a defense reflex which only happens when someone sneaks behind her. Thanks to Ju-long, Xiao Bao became the second victim who got slapped by her. The first victim was Zhi Ruo but luckily for Zhi Ruo with her assassin instinct, she smoothly dodged the slap.
Yi Lei Fang froze when she saw the poor little fella who got slapped by her. Seeing Xiao Bao's red left cheek and watery accusing eyes, Yi Lei Fang's cheeks turned red due to guilt.
Yi Lei Fang scratched the tip her nose. "Sorry, I didn't know you were there. Wait, how did you get here and where is Asura?"
She looked behind Xiao Bao and saw Asura lying down by the pond. She raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Xiao Bao.
Xiao Bao painfully replied, "Because of the soul contract we can enter the soul ring as well."
And since Xiao Bao is here, she went ahead to ask him questions about the dimension and the pagoda.
While Xiao Bao is explaining, Yi Lei Fang was unable to understand him. The reason is because he kept massaging the swollen red cheek! Most of his words were muffled along with the change of tone frequency.
Yi Lei Fang rubbed the bridge of her nose in annoyance. She was close to slap Xiao Bao's other cheek.
"So you're saying the time outside is different from here, for instance one hour outside is one year here. I can even plant herbs which will be a hundred times better and bring what in here?"
"Animalmuah and living being~." Still rubbing his red left cheek, the fella pitifully replied.
"Animals and living beings, right. Besides that, this pagoda has many hidden treasures and each level of the pagoda only unlocks when my soul powers up." She pointed to the equipments on the table. "What is all this for?"
Xiao Bao stopped rubbing his left cheek and flew to the table. He pointed to the pot and equipments. "This pot is called a cauldron, it is used for refining pills. This scale will help you measure the right amount of ingredients to refine pills and elixirs. All these books contain cultivating methods, beginner to advanced alchemy, beast taming, herbs, martial arts, armament and many more. All of these flasks and glassware will be useful to you in the future. The calligraphy brushes here are special because you do not need to dip the tip in ink."
Xiao Bao used telekinesis to pick up a thin brush with a marble handle. He placed a piece of paper on the side and started writing on it. Once the tip of the brush touched the paper, black ink appeared automatically. Xiao Bao did not stop there, instead he continues to draw.
Xiao Bao placed the brush back on the stand and wiped the nonexistent sweat on his forehead.
"Whew, I am done. As you can see, these brushes produce their own ink that will never dry or run out. Goddess, come and look at my masterpiece!"
Yi Lei Fang walked over to the table and glanced at the paper that Xiao Bao created. The corners of her lips twitched. She pointed to the drawing.
"What is that supposed to be?"
Xiao Bao felt offended that Yi Lei Fang was blind to see his masterpiece. His masterpiece is so artistic that it made Leonardo da Vinci's painting look like a preschooler's drawing.
Xiao Bao puffed up his chest. "Of course, can you not tell? That is me eating a baozi (steamed pork bun)."
Yi Lei Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xiao Bao eating a baozi—more like a long poop laying on a rock.
