Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 212 - Calm Before The Storm

“Tell me whatever you need.”

Xiannu Liang smiled. “I’ll take you up on that.”

****

After Xiannu Liang got all the Ever-Dew fruits, she quickly got started.

With the fruits before her, she immediately took a bite out of the first Ever-Dew Fruit. When her pearly teeth broke the fruit's skin, a gush of juice burst forth!

However, Xiannu Liang expected this and only made a slight hole in the skin. Yet even with this, the juice came out with an eruptive force.

As she drank from the fruit, the size shrank until it shrivelled up into a desiccated flap of fruit skin. Surprisingly, Xiannu Liang took even the skin of the fruit and ate it up.

After a while, Xiannu Liang had finished the entire fruit, and she quickly went into a meditative state.

Whoosh!

Vrrrm!

A burst of energy exploded from her body along with her eight cauldrons spinning at a rapid pace all around her.

They were all green and glowed with energy as they worked to regulate the energy within Xiannu Liang’s body.

“I forgot to ask. What’s up with her cauldrons?” Long Di asked Yaomu Shou.

Yaomu Shou had little knowledge about the Nymphs but tried her best to answer, “I’m not 100% sure, but I heard that the higher-ranking members of the Nymph race possess a bloodline cauldron.”

Long Di’s brow furrowed at this. “So it’s not a special grade? What’s a bloodline cauldron?”

Yaomu Shou explained, “Special-grade cauldrons only come to those with a special-grade physique. There are other physiques that can come about because of a unique bloodline and certain members of the Nymph race have this bloodline so strong within them that it affects the formation and composition of their cauldrons. These unique types of cauldrons are called bloodline cauldrons.”

“Oh,” Long Di nodded in understanding. “So these green cauldrons came about because of that? Interesting. Wait, does that mean she’s a princess or something?”

Yaomu Shou smiled but shook her head. “The Nymphs don’t have a governmental structure like that. Even though they are one of the five major races, they are quite reclusive and remain so because of their… constitution.”

After bringing this up, she quickly changed the subject. “Still, Xiannu Liang is quite talented. Based on the pressure of her cauldrons, those are all at the level of high-grade cauldrons!”

“Oh, really now?” Long Di had to admit that Xiannu Liang was quite talented to forge such cauldrons.

He then grew confused. “Wait, so cauldrons that fall out of the normal grading system can still be forged to a higher level?”

“Of ourse,” Yaomu Shou answered matter-of-factly. “Like regular cauldrons within the normal grading system, they keep the standard abilities of those cauldrons while also possessing abilities exclusive to them.”

Long Di studied Xiannu Liang’s cauldrons closely. They were just like ordinary cauldrons, in that they possessed three legs like all high-grade and below cauldrons except the basic cauldron, which only had two legs. The shape was similar to the high-grade cauldrons too.

However, that’s where the similarities ended. The engraving on these cauldrons were much different from your standard high-grade cauldrons.

They were much more exquisite for one, and it almost seemed like the patterns and designs were depicting an immortal garden of sorts. There were boundless trees in a forest with flowers of all sorts overflowing within. It was like nature in its purest form.

It gave one a peaceful feeling if they stared long enough.

Boom!

A powerful pressure exploded from Xiannu Liang’s body as a cauldron slowly came to form behind her, taking its rightful place among the set.

An outline of a small basin appeared in a blaze of light. Soon, long curled vine-like tendrils appeared below before they curled in on themselves to create the stands for these new cauldrons.

There were three stands in total. They formed the foundation of the basin, the base upon which it stood.

An even brighter line of light marred what appeared to be the surface of this basin. It twisted and curled all around the surface, creating intricate designs that were dazzling to look at.

Vwhoosh…

The blaze of light that contained the outline for the new cauldron was beginning to dim, taking the new cauldron away with it.

Everyone, including Long Di and even Mina, saw this and narrowed their eyes with ceased breaths.

They could feel from Xiannu Liang’s aura that she was some distance away from the peak of the eighth duan. The Ever-Dew fruit that she ate was able to close this distance immensely, but it was obviously not enough to traverse the large chasm that separated the eighth duan from the ninth duan.

Without any hesitation, Xiannu Liang took up another Ever-Dew Fruit and just like the first, she ate the fruit in its entirety.

Whoosh!

Her power increased even more and the dimming blaze caught tinder and roared into a thundering inferno!

Soon enough, the cauldron began shaping itself. The design brought life to the cauldron as it engraved the garden Long Di saw branded on all the others.

Seeing that she looked stabilised, everyone put down the weight in their hearts.

Zi Yu and Yaomu Shou didn’t waste this time and got right down to it. The amount of spiritual energy present allowed them to utilise their cultivation techniques for the cultivation of their somatic essence.

Shen Ling wasn’t able to utilise her cultivation technique during this time because of the injury to her eyes. As a result, she took the time to deepen her understanding of the Abyss Scripture instead.

She wanted to make sure that once she was able to cultivate once more, her comprehension would allow her to make up for time lost.

She didn’t allow her current plight to discourage her and instead used it as a means to go further than ever before once her eyes were healed.

Mina wasn’t doing anything the whole time and as a result, regularly left to see what was happening on the outside.

Of course, even the outside was devoid of activity. It seemed that all those who entered the Spiritual Bingqi Realm were doing the same thing that Long Di and his group were doing.

The younger generation experts were undergoing an intense session of cultivation to better themselves since they had quite some time here.

It wasn’t every day that they could enter such a place, so they wanted to use it for what it was worth.

It was obvious at a glance that what befell the whole realm was the calm before the storm.
