5 The Master's Hands

Lin Xiaowei's tone was very serious.

The sudden pressure made Li Yao somewhat anxious… He was only a Buddhist college student who was a little good-looking. What had he done wrong to shoulder all this?

But Lin Xiaowei did not care and still said: "Please help me to take good care of my family members, please."

Oh, just this small matter…

Li Yao heaved a sigh of relief: "That is necessary!"

Lin Xiaowei: "No, you don't understand what I mean. I am saying look after each one of them. Wait until I go back. Wait until I become a legend. Then, I'll be able to break the surface and travel across the worlds… I have no way to look after them now. Hence, I can only entrust you."

Li Yao: "…"

Lin Xiaowei said before that it would take at least 200 years for her to be promoted to a legend. This was the fastest time.

However, a master's road to promotion was originally very difficult. The more one was towards the end, the difficulties they faced would be greater. Some high-level masters who were at their peaks were not even able to be promoted for their entire lives. In the end, they could only transform themselves into other living creatures that would not die.

Lin Xiaowei entrusted him to look after her parents until she came back…

Her obsession was very deep.

But the problem was that her parents were mortals. How would it be possible for them to live so long!

Hence, the task of making them live longer landed on himself?

What the heck!

How was that possible!

Immortality had always been one of mankind's ultimate dreams. Emperor Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu across the ocean in search of a medicine for immortality. Many mysteries were left behind. In the Han and Tang dynasties, the Taixing teachers moved the crowd and almost led to the demise of the empire. Emperor Jiajing believed in celestial paths and concocted pills of immortality all his life in the hope of achieving immortality. This laid the bane for the fall of Daming… These were all living negative examples.

Those emperors with the strength of the nation were unable to succeed in the matter, yet the task landed on him now?

Lin Xiaowei, are you thinking too highly of me!

Li Yao: "…Why don't I call and contact Xu Fu and see if there are any remaining immortal pills on his side?"

Lin Xiaowei: "I have the formula for [Longevity Elixir] on my side."

Li Yao: "…"

You should say so earlier! Giving me a scare for nothing.

The difficulty level of the task changed from abyss level to difficult level this time.

Lin Xiaowei continued to reply: "The remaining problem is for you to increase your capability as soon as possible. When you are promoted to an official master, you can try to anchor the location and open the linked arrays. You can start to exchange materials. During this period of time, I will delve into the contents of alchemy and share some knowledge with you."

Li Yao: "Ojbk."

Lin Xiaowei: "I'll give you this."

Following that, Li Yao received a document: <<An Analysis of the Composition Master's Methods>>.

Lin Xiaowei: "This is a spell. It is considered as one of the rather classic ring spells. The soul can remotely control a non-magical item that does not exceed five kilograms. It is also a spell that tests an apprentice's mental strength."

Li Yao suddenly became interested: "Oh! Cool! Are you giving one only! How about a spell for a fireball or lightning beam? Do you have them?"

Lin Xiaowei: "Don't bite off more than you can chew! Practice this well first and we'll talk again!"

Li Yao: "…Alright Teacher Lin."

Lin Xiaowei: "Then that's all. I am going offline."

Li Yao: "Goodbye Teacher Lin~"

As Li Yao looked at Teacher Lin's portrait turning grey, he thought that even if she did not come online, if she turned on wireless connections, he reckoned that her soul would still lose energy. After all, the power consumption of a cell phone with Wifi turned on or with Wifi turned off was different.

Li Yao pulled up the chat records and saw the document [A Master's Guide]. He could not help himself from licking his lips.

This document was actually an electric gate!

But he was a little used to jabbing it…

He even felt a little addicted!

…

The three elements of the master included: spiritual power, alchemy, and spells.

Spiritual power was the foundation to become a master. Under the improvisation of Holy Master, Tara Yang, the spiritual path of the master became traceable and could be strengthened step by step.

The so-called alchemy referred to how magic carved within the soul could absorb energy in the void after being one was officially promoted to a master. It could be trained into magical power and stored in the soul. In this way, he would be much stronger than an ancient master, who was limited by spells every day.

Spells were a form of delicate and complicated knowledge.

As mentioned before, [Meditation] was similar to a process that ran in the spiritual soul. It continuously tempered the strength of the spiritual soul and expanded the depth of the soul. The spell required the caster himself or herself to guide the spiritual power to construct and complete the circuit, and then guide the [spiritual power] in the void. That was also the magical power producing effects and interfering with reality.

The duration of the skill of the [Master's Hand] was determined by how long the caster could concentrate. Hence, the loop of this spell was also more complicated.

Even if Li Yao learned by "initiating", he had also never successfully built a circuit on the first day…

This was like a child learning to write. Even if the child copied, he still could not write block letters nicely and accurately.

This not only needed intelligence, but it also needed practice to make perfect.

Regardless of the construction time or effectiveness, it required continuously brushing up on "proficiency" to let the spell be released faster and more effectively.

After this period of time, besides Li Yao's schooling life, he meditated and got familiar with the master's hand.

Lin Xiaowei would also occasionally guide him and disseminate some basic knowledge in the area of magical power to him.

Li Yao's university life became not so boring.

He even felt like he was back in high school, hugging his cell phone while having an internet romance with a girl.

It was so new and strange.

It was a pity that he himself had known the girl whom he always chatted with for more than 10 years. She was even f*cking in the alternate world.

This was very magical.

After more than one month, Li Yao was already very proficient in meditation. Even when he was having lessons, he could do two things at one time. He could basically do the master's hand instantaneously.

It was just that it was very weak.

What was the use of having a soul remotely controlling five kilograms of non-magical items?

F*cked up!

Instead, meditation brought a surprise to Li Yao. Li Yao easily achieved more than 90 marks for all his subjects at the end-of-the-term examination. This made the group of animals in the dormitory stunned.

"Li Yao, this fellow, had been meditating the whole time, and he actually touched the realm of a genius! Dreadful!"

"I'm afraid the Longquan Temple has already issued him a summon!"

"… Get him to treat us and let him die in blood!"

"Good idea!" X3!

Hence, Li Yao, who was being squeezed for a meal before the holidays, felt very wronged.

Damn it.

Three-headed farm animals ate food that cost him more than 1000 dollars. Are they humans?

Didn't they say that a master earned a lot of money?

Why did it become he himself releasing blood?

He felt very unbalanced in his heart. He secretly prepared to find some time to make it up…

…

Vacation was the perfect word.

This implies that you have the freedom to allocate your time under the circumstance of not having to bear with societal responsibility. How nice is that? As for the vacation assignment and other messy things…

It would be fine to just cram those in the last few days.

This was a rare event one could look forward to during school days.

But Li Yao's freedom was being seized. And the one who seized this right happened to be that netizen friend from the far away alternate world who was familiar with him to the extent of knowing what color undergarments he was wearing when they were young… He wanted to think of a way to help the Lin Family to overcome the crisis. He even had to prepare for the Lin Family's immortality.

Damn it, just thinking of it makes my brain hurt!
