Chapter 24

I woke at 5 AM in the morning and after training and having my bath, I prepared the breakfast and go towards the dining hall.

I arrived there early and as the food was served Shen Xiu came, she sat and observed me and after sometime seemed shocked.

She stuttered and said "N.. Nephew you advanced to One Star Bronze Rank. You really are a monster."

I shook my head and said " It's just because of my training, and later I will not be able to breakthrough this fast."

I could have Suppressed my soul force but I just wanted to show off in front of her.

" Don't tell about this to anyone, aunt." I said.

"I know." She nodded and said.

After the breakfast I go towards the Institute and today was also the same.

Slowly the days started to go by and I cultivated vigorously and a month has been passed.

Today as I started to cultivate in the morning I realised that I was close to having a breakthrough so I concentrated more and after an hour my Soul Force burst through.

I knew that I had advanced and I was now a Four Star Bronze Rank. I had already become Three Star Bronze Rank in this month.

After that I took out a Soul Crystal and injected my soul force into it.

It showed Indigo Colour for my soul realm, my soul force as 400 because I have broken through to it right now, it was exact. My attribute is neutral.

My soul form was of a Winged Lion, it has wings of a dragon and it was blazing in fire like a pheonix, and seemed very ferocious.

After that I trained and get ready to go to the Institute.

I arrived and the rest of the class was as usual but in practical cultivation class, I noticed that Xiao Ning'er was in great pain as she cultivated.

I realised that even if I have made my reputation good then also she trained and cultivated very hard.

After the classes I go towards the training ground and started fighting a group of horned sheep demon beasts with only using my soul force as I was still a starter in it.

My soul force was very pure, probably the purest in this world because of my Cultivation Technique and I knew that after I become a Silver Rank Demon Spiritualist I will be able to do Soul Forming.

I was trying to get proficient in using my soul force by making it in different forms, like for attacking making it a shape of needle for most cases but in other weapons also for more damage and for defending make it like a spherical ball or to by making a compressed shield of it.

At 8 in the night I started to find her in the forest but even after searching for 30 minutes I wasn't able to find her.

"It seems she didn't came today." I said to myself and as I was starting to turn I saw a blue glow in it.

I approached the glow and after coming close I realised it was Xiao Ning.

After thinking awhile, I walked towards her.

"Who!?" Xiao Ning'er suddenly opens her eyes, and frailly shouted, while retrieving a short dagger. She warily looked at me. Her facial expression was chilling cold. Through the moonlight, those deeply alert eyes had an indescribable charm in them.

"I'm Shen Fei!" I said.

She put down her short dagger, but still kept her guard up as she looked at me and said, "What are you doing here?"

I faintly smiled, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to train my soul force," She said, looking at me through the moonlight.

"Well, I am just strolling here." I replied.

"Then leave, as I am going to cultivate." She said.

"OK." I said but I couldn't help and observed her. She was really a top class beauty and her perky bust and curvaceous body aroused me very much.

"What are you doing." She said.

I said, "When night falls, don't both of your legs feel as if they're being burned by fire?"

After hearing what I just said, Xiao Ning'er was slightly stunned and soon answered, "How did you know?"

"Of course I know," I smiled, "Not only this, I know even more. Not only do both of your legs feel as if they were being burned by fire, your body would be extremely cold. Every night at midnight it would feel as if it was hailing on your body. It would be terribly painful. Even training your soul force wouldn't be possible, would it?"

She seemed shocked by my words.

"In addition to these symptoms, your body should be bruised in certain areas. Those bruises should be extremely painful and not only do they not dissipate, they should also be spreading around the body, " I said confidently, "You haven't stepped into 1-star Bronze rank yet, but once you do, in the best case scenario, you will get seriously ill and your cultivation will be greatly reduced. In the worst case scenario, you will die."

After hearing my words, she was momentarily dazed.

Seeing the usually strong Xiao Ning'er in this state, I couldn't help pitying her.

"Shen Fei, since you know what kind of illness I have, you should know how to treat it, right? Can you help me?" She asked.

I was silent, only for a moment, before I said, "This illness can be treated. You can look it up in the Holy Orchid Institute's library. The illness is called: Arctic Disease."

"Really?" She said.

"How can it be treated?"She asked.

"The Daoyin technique must be used to massage the affected areas, to dissipate the bruise. Medicine made from combining Golden Striped Grass with Imperial Sky Grass must be consumed daily, with your situation, for roughly a month or so. In the best case scenario, ten days could be enough for you to be fully recovered from the illness," I said. This was indeed the method to treat Arctic Disease.

"In addition to these treatment methods, you must also make sure to not train your soul force at night in the future." I said.

"Can you treat me." She asked.

I was shocked, I didn't thought that it will be this easy and said "Ofcouse, I can treat it but I have to touch you."

She blushed and said " It's alright."
