Chapter 490: Chapter 515: The Moon Lady’s Troubles
Earl’s Mansion.
Baiyu sat in the courtyard, leisurely watching an ancient book, while a woman with an enchanting figure and exquisite appearance was massaging his shoulders.
"Right there, lately I’ve been working too hard, my lower back is aching."
Hearing this scoundrel’s voice.
Yi Xian couldn’t help but feel a surge of annoyance.
When had she ever given anyone a massage, and now here she was being ordered around by him?
Not only did she have to ensure his safety during outings, but she also had to serve tea, water, and massage his shoulders and back.
"Teacher, is the Mechanical Technique of the God of Mechanics really so vastly different from ordinary Mechanical Technique?"
At this point.
Baiyu suddenly asked.
His Mechanical Science had not improved for a long time, while his other disciplines were continually advancing.
Yi Xian used her two fair hands to knead his shoulders, saying, "Of course, that is Ancient Mechanical Technique.
Didn’t I tell you before?
The older something is, the more powerful it tends to be.
Nowadays, the East Prosperity Imperial’s Legendary Ships, Forbidden Armament, Shelters, all only shine due to the last bits of ancient technology.
The East Prosperity Imperial alone couldn’t have researched them on its own."
"Is there any way to obtain Ancient Mechanical Technique?" Baiyu was still hopeful about Ancient Mechanical Technique.
Yi Xian shook her head, "Either you join the God of Mechanics cult, or become part of the Imperial elite, only then you can access Ancient Mechanical Technique.
However.
The God of Mechanics sect is mostly filled with lunatics."
Baiyu nodded.
He had heard that those in the God of Mechanics sect worship the power of machinery, believing that flesh is just a hindrance.
Even within the cult.
There’s always been a belief that flesh is weak, and machinery leads to ascension.
They also firmly believe that the God of Steam and Machinery was the first to use machinery to ascend to godhood.
Every member of the God of Mechanics sect uses this as a guiding principle for their progression.
As a result.
Many priests and clerics within the cult, unsatisfied with their fleshly bodies, began replacing limbs with mechanical prosthetics, sometimes even completely replacing their entire bodies with mechanical parts.
This was exactly why Baiyu was unwilling to join the God of Mechanics.
He wasn’t crazy enough to turn himself into a half-machine.
Even bounty hunters, at most, would replace an injured hand or foot with a mechanical prosthetic.
But these mechanical priests were really amputating and replacing.
Fanatically savage to the point of being terrifying.
"Forget it, let’s talk about it later."
Baiyu thought about it, deciding to shelve his hopes for Ancient Mechanical Technique, as it would be hard to obtain unless there was internal turmoil in the God of Mechanics.
Right now.
It’s more important to rapidly accumulate other knowledge.
Ever since the Black Water Gang was wiped out, Baiyu hadn’t gone out again and left everything to his subordinates to handle.
He, on the other hand, stayed in the Earl’s Mansion, peacefully researching the ancient books obtained from Yi Xian.
Of course.
At this point, Yi Xian had very little hidden stock left, it was basically all scoured clean by Baiyu.
And with the digestion and understanding of these ancient books.
Baiyu increasingly felt that even if he
"Teacher, recently my Black Moon Power has grown stronger again."
At the moment.
The Moon Lady, who was squatting beside him helping to massage Baiyu’s legs, spoke up.
Baiyu and Yi Xian both glanced at each other in slight surprise.
The Moon Lady had a unique constitution.
Moreover, she was not yet an Extraordinary.
There hadn’t even been any Black Moon appearance in the sky.
And yet.
Her Black Moon Power could still grow stronger.
Not knowing whether to say this girl was exceptionally gifted, or simply unfortunate.
Baiyu could almost foresee her fate.
With the violent Black Moon Power continuously rushing into her body, turning her into a hideous mutated monster in the end.
"How is your Magic Elixir preparation coming along?"
At this moment.
Baiyu asked.
Yi Xian’s face showed some difficulty: "I just managed to concoct a bottle of Night Watcher’s Magic Elixir."
Night Watcher.
Sequence Eight of the Black Moon Sequence.
"Give it to the Moon Lady; she probably needs it more than you right now. A bottle of Sequence Eight Magic Elixir, the materials aren’t rare, I’ll have the warehouse prepare another batch for you later."
Baiyu suggested.
But Yi Xian was slow to agree.
Upon seeing this.
Baiyu frowned, "She’s your student, after all."
"You think I’m reluctant?"
Yi Xian looked over with displeasure, a faint blush on her cheeks, clearly agitated.
"Then what’s your reason?"
Baiyu chuckled.
"I’m afraid that the Magic Elixir might have side effects.
Moreover, we’re unsure if the elixir’s effects are too strong for the Moon Lady to handle."
Yi Xian responded with a tone full of skepticism.
Her reminder made Baiyu hesitate.
No one had ever used the elixir recorded on that scroll; who knows what side effects it might have?
Also.
This Sequence hadn’t been disseminated; only he had access to it.
Therefore.
They couldn’t predict the unexpected outcomes of each sequence’s Magic Elixir upon consumption.
As the two pondered.
The Moon Lady chimed in again, "Teacher, Brother Bai, I’m not afraid!"
Seeing the girl with a resolute expression, hands clenched into small fists, Baiyu found it both funny and exasperating.
"What do you think?"
He looked toward Yi Xian.
"Let’s give it a try with us monitoring her; if anything problematic arises, we’ll have her stop the digestion process."
Yi Xian suggested with no other alternative.
This choice.
Was just a helpless decision.
Because once the Magic Elixir is ingested, it’s an irreversible process; if something were to occur, she might not be able to handle it.
Stopping the digestion.
Isn’t as simple as it sounds.
"Forget it, I have an idea."
Baiyu stood up and instructed the maid outside.
Soon after, Erin rushed over in a hurry, bowing, "Master."
"Have Jiang Xi bring over a death row prisoner captured from the Black Water Gang."
Baiyu ordered.
Erin nodded, not asking anything, and swiftly turned to leave.
"Tsk tsk, that Elf Banshee you raised is getting more and more attractive. I can’t believe you can hold back from devouring her."
Watching Erin’s graceful back, Yi Xian commented sarcastically.
"Don’t look at me like that; I’m a normal man."
Baiyu coldly retorted.
But it only caused Yi Xian to erupt in fits of laughter.
As she laughed, her body shook, causing the two soft bulges beneath her robe to jiggle, making it hard to look away.
"What, thinking of making a move on your teacher?"
"Crazy woman, I don’t have time for your jokes."
Baiyu changed the subject.
Previously, he avoided intimate relations partly because his body hadn’t matured, and rushing things could harm his foundation.
Another reason.
Was that he was busy cultivating, studying, and had no time for such concerns.
Moreover, during the Low Tier Martial Artist phase, engaging in relations too early was bad for cultivation.
Now at Tier Six Martial Artist.
There was no need to worry about these things anymore.
Baiyu pondered for a moment.
There were indeed many excellent young women around him.
Although each had their flaws, it was undeniable they were both outstanding and exceptional.
Like Jiang Xi, Qiong Xue.
Both were extraordinarily remarkable.
Of course.
There’s also Miss Ning, who is becoming more and more alluring.
