Chapter 35: Late Summer is Even More Terrifying!
That night—
With the semi-automatic hand-cranked smoked meat rack, Xia's father and his colleagues don't have to work so hard. After dark, they can finish their work, move the smoked meat back to the specially designated room, and rest.
The crowd that had been peeping outside the Xia family's house also returned home.
The night was quiet, with the occasional chirping of birds coming from the mountains and forests.
It appeared in the yard at the end of summer when it was "sleeping".
She first used her divine sense to explore the entire village, and then quickly moved into the deep mountains with a clear purpose.
Deep in the mountains, the territory of the wolf pack—
Appearing at the end of summer, it startled the resting wolf pack.
Xia Mo waved to the alpha wolf in a friendly manner.
The alpha wolf stared at Xia Mo with annoyance, its green eyes seeming to say, "This human is so annoying."
At the end of summer, Xia picked up the bundle containing the medicine, took out a portion, added a thousand-year-old ginseng and a large lingzhi mushroom, and then put the bundle back into the wolf den.
The alpha wolf stamped its paws in frustration, glaring at Xia Mo.
Xia Mo walked out of the wolf den where the wolves were resting. Right next to the den, he picked up a huge rock and, using the power of his divine sense to materialize it, hollowed out the center of the rock, turning it into a stone tub large enough for a 100-pound person to take a bath in.
The moment the alpha wolf saw Xia Mo's actions, it instinctively tucked its tail between its legs, and fear showed in its eyes.
Xia Mo's abilities are something that even a wolf pack can't handle.
The alpha wolf stared at Xia Mo with agitation.
At the end of summer, he added the medicinal herbs into the stone bucket and used his divine sense to draw water from half a kilometer away into the bucket.
The water, seemingly without any support, appeared to have come at the behest of Xia Mo!
The wolves grew even more agitated by what they saw.
Xia Mo, however, continued with what she was doing as if no one else was there—no, she should say as if no one else was around.
Once the water is drawn, the next step is to light a fire and set up a stone barrel to boil it.
As Xia Mo waved her hand towards the mountains and forests, many withered branches flew towards her. In reality, those withered branches were also bound and captured by Xia Mo's spiritual power.
The wolves stared intently at the tree branches, their bright green eyes fixed on them.
The alpha wolf gradually calmed down its agitation, but still kept a wary eye on Xia Mo. In their eyes, Xia Mo was even more terrifying!
In late summer, the stone barrel is set up, a fire is lit, and the medicinal herbs inside are boiled into a medicinal soup.
The wolves kept their distance from the fire, but their bright green eyes were fixed on the direction of Xia Mo, it was unclear whether they were looking at Xia Mo or the fire.
The invigorating medicinal soup was ready. Xia Mo beckoned to the wolf pack and said, "Could you turn your backs?"
Except for the alpha wolf, the other wolves didn't understand.
The alpha wolf, possessing the intelligence of a three-year-old child, knew that Xia Mo's strength was beyond its ability to contend with the pack, and reluctantly turned its back.
At the end of summer, she took off her clothes and soaked in the boiling medicinal soup.
The delicate skin turned red instantly, and even blisters appeared from the scalding medicinal soup.
In late summer, one can use their divine sense to accelerate the absorption of nutrients by the body's cells and promote the body's recovery ability.
But as soon as her skin recovered, it was burned again, and this cycle repeated itself.
Xia Mo clenched her lips, suppressing the pain. Her cheeks puffed out, her eyes reddened, and her big eyes were brimming with tears.
She was in a lot of pain, and she missed her parents and brothers.
Essentially, Xia Mo is a little girl who was pampered and raised by her parents. She was so protected that she couldn't bear the slightest hardship or pain.
In the world of cultivation, she had no choice but to be powerful for a thousand years, but she also suffered for a thousand years.
But now she's back in her own world, back with her loving family!
By the end of summer, I had reverted to my old self, unable to endure hardship or pain.
One hour later—
Xia Mo emerged from the medicinal soup with tears in her eyes. Apart from her skin being bright red, there was no sign of injury. In fact, her physical strength had more than doubled.
Previously, her fragile body carried a powerful soul, and she had to compress the soul to the size of a cup; now, her body is several times stronger, and she no longer needs to compress the soul completely, and can release a corner of it.
With the increase in available soul power, Xia Mo's available divine sense power also increased accordingly.
At the same time, she can also use the soul space that she created using her cultivation techniques when she was in the cultivation world!
Although she couldn't sustain life, through her deliberate cultivation, she cultivated a spiritual field and planted spiritual herbs.
Furthermore, before returning to her original world, fearing she wouldn't have any immortal spiritual power left, she also collected some immortal spiritual energy from the cultivation world into her soul space.
Now, although only a corner of her soul space can be used, she can directly use the immortal energy within to strengthen her physique!
Xia Mo felt a little excited; she had become even stronger!
Xia Mo put the herb packet and the stone bucket into her soul space.
To the wolves, Xia Mo seemed to have vanished into thin air.
The alpha wolf jumped in fright.
Summer's End smiled and asked the alpha wolf, "Do you want to become smarter?"
The alpha wolf retreated in fear.
"Do you want to become more ferocious and strong?" Xia Mo asked again.
The alpha wolf stared at Xia Mo with its bright green eyes, as if it couldn't understand what Xia Mo was saying.
In reality, the alpha wolf, with the intelligence of a three-year-old child, probably understood.
With a sudden thought, Xia Mo took out a small, spiritually imbued green grass from her soul space—a grass that was considered a weed in the cultivation world.
After the grass was taken out, the spiritual energy on it dissipated rapidly.
With a sudden thought, Xia Mo extracted the juice from the weeds that contained a bit of spiritual energy and flicked it into the wolf's mouth.
The alpha wolf instinctively tried to dodge, but its head suddenly became immobile, and its mouth opened involuntarily, catching the drop of grass juice imbued with a touch of spiritual energy and swallowing it.
The alpha wolf was somewhat frightened, but after a while, a trace of spiritual energy circulated within its body, making its eyes brighter. With its mind clearing and intelligence increasing, the alpha wolf's eyes, when looking at Xia Mo, also held a hint of flattery.
The current alpha wolf, Lingzhi, is about seven years old.
The spiritual energy not only increased the alpha wolf's intelligence but also made it stronger.
The alpha wolf now looked at Xia Mo ingratiatingly, hoping that Xia Mo would give it more of that grass juice with magical power.
"As long as you listen to me, there will be more in the future," Xia Mo said with a smile.
Xia Mo waved to the alpha wolf, like a pure child, as if he wasn't facing a pack of ferocious beasts, and happily skipped away.
The alpha wolf gazed in the direction Xia Mo had left. With its increased intelligence, it trailed far behind Xia Mo, following her out of the deep mountains and into the shallow mountainous area. Then, it stood on a large rock on the mountainside near Anjia Village, watching Xia Mo go home.
Everyone knew this by the end of summer.
Let the wolves follow her if they want; to her now, they're just a bunch of small animals that she can easily wipe out if she wants to.
The alpha wolf, whose intelligence had increased, clearly knew this as well. After seeing Xia Mo return to the village, it led the pack back into the deep mountains.
She is stronger now and has more confidence to deal with the unknown mystery behind Ma Yiyi.
