7 The Neglected Garden

The sun was hidden behind the horizon whilst everyone in Boundless Depth Valley had already awakened...

Zhou Yun was lazily sprawling his limbs and face on the stone table. The coolness of the stone did nothing to soothe him.

"Why did I gave her those pills!"

"Ah, come back my good disciple! Your master missed you already..."

The garden laid neglected in its corner...

Meanwhile, Xueyu holed herself up by the stream.

Mist blurred out any scenery on this particular stream but Xueyu didn't mind. It didn't hinder her, she was blind.

She rather enjoyed the coolness that enclosed her. It cool airy feels was much preferred over any fire…

Xueyu had planned to use early dawn to push her cultivation and utilized the Cleansing Pills. Most people don't notice the differences between qi between day and night but Xueyu was clear of it. Morning qi is often purer than qi at any other times.

Ironically, it was because Xueyu's lack of senses that she was more sensitive to tiny details like this…

Xueyu was sitting cross legs on top of a giant boulder at the center of the stream. Her master was nowhere to be seen.

(He should be taking care of the garden at this time...)

Cultivation had become something beyond her daily routine with her master…

And while her master was still coping with the new fact, she didn't think much of it and took out the porcelain bottle.

A pill rolled out from the bottle and onto her palm. It was small, round and white, it softly gleamed with golden lights… Strangely enough, one can't rank the pill simply by observing it.

Zhou Yun had managed to made six pills in total, and in the tiny bottle was all six pills. It was an outstanding achievement to made a batch of six pills let alone the first successful batch.

Xueyu didn't waste any time testing it with her tongue and quickly swallow it. She can't taste anything before, so she doesn't have to test it now.

Not long before she swallowed the pill, she began to sweat profusely. From her pores, there were sweats and before long there was a sticky black fluid. It didn't stop like her sweats, but rather continues to flow and had begun to amass by the stream. She didn't know how much time had passed, all she had known was that she'd felt millions needle stabbing all her pores-- all at once.

When the pain waned, Xueyu thought the Cleansing Pill had finished its miracle when suddenly a familiar warmth surround her…

It was the Nirvana Fire. She just knows it.
