Chapter 4 - Space 2

She inspected her body and found that her dantian was covered with a flexible barrier. It was this reason that when she was checked to see if she had Martial talent by the village head, it showed that she had none.

She was not disheartened as she knew what that barrier was. It meant that her meridians were blocked and she would have to open them. But that was not a big problem for her. She used to be a Pill God.

The space or magic artifact that was Qi Bo used to be her spatial instrument or moving warehouse. His space had everything she had or needed. Before when she was preparing for her tribulation she had kept everything inside, but looking around now she could only see a fraction of how big her space used to be.

She asked Qi Bo " Bobo what happened to the space?"

"Master when your soul shattered during the tribulation I had to do all I could to save you. At that moment all I could think of was to bring you inside, but it all happened so fast that I had to use the spiritual energy and then destroy the treasures inside so that I could have the power to pull you in." He said sadly. "After that due to shortage of spiritual energy the space started to fold, so I had to close most of the land. But don't worry master after so many years the spiritual energy has already started to recover."

"Master right now all these places are locked but once you start to cultivate they will unlock. After I pulled your soul inside it had a weird affect on the space. Your soul became a mist and was sucking the spiritual power inside. I was scared that something was happening to you but then I noticed that your weak soul that looked it would disappear any moment had started to get stronger. So I didn't do anything."

He went from sad to excited as he said "Master you will notice that your soul realm is much bigger and stronger than it used to be. After a thousand years the spiritual energy has increased so much that if all of the space is unlocked right now you will burst. Right now only a small patch of land is available because that is all the spiritual energy you can take. As you have breakthroughs the space will open up."

Spiritual energy is what she used to cultivate in her previous world. A Soul Realm is what a spirit cultivator cultivates. The stronger and bigger the spiritual realm the better talent he has. A spirit cultivator is divided into Early, Middle, High, Earth, Sky, God and Saint. Each level is further divided into Low rank, Intermediate rank, Advanced rank and Peak rank.

When a Soul Realm reaches God stage one can even create a small world of their own. It was also the reason it was called the God stage. Which is what she thinks is the weird thing that Bobo told him.

If her guess was correct, when the last lightning hit her she had already advanced to the God realm but her body could not handle the tribulation and she died. When Bobo pulled him into her space the small spatial artifact became her small world and Bobo became its guardian. It was also why the spiritual energy in the space rushed to her. If her soul had dispersed so would have the space.

Bobo took a huge risk by taking her in and putting his own life on the line. She felt warm inside as she thought about it.

She took Bobo in his arms and sat down beside the spring. "Bobo you did good. Thank you for saving me."

After hearing the words of his master he was stunned for a moment before becoming happy. His dazed expression looked very out of place and cute on a little fox.

"Master when will you start cultivating. You will have to open all meridians and dantian." He asked.

"I have a prescription with me. If I use these herbs and soak in them for five days the meridians will open up, though it will be painful I will endure. After five days, I can start cultivating; unfortunately, if there were spiritual herbs, I wouldn't need to suffer for five days—just one day would be enough. But with my current strength, I must spend three months to grow the spiritual plants, so the required time is too long for me."

Under this situation, if the herbs were planted into the spiritual space, the time needed was three months for it to be nurtured into spiritual herbs. What she chose was the second-best option.

Bobo was elated as he replied with a tender voice "Master though I used all your top grade herbs, your low grade herbs are still in the pill cottage."

"Hmm. I will come back during the night lest my mother notices."

"Master, you have to leave so soon? I was finally able to see you, and no one will know of your current situation. When you come to this place in spirit form, in the eyes of outsiders, you look like you're asleep. No one will think you're within a small world. Only when you come inside will you disappear from other's eyes. "

"Then can you leave this World?"

Bobo shook his head, his eyes filled with loneliness.

"Master, I can't turn into a human and nor am I a spiritual beast. My spirit was anchored to the space. However, wait until master's strength becomes very powerful. Then I can temporarily leave the space and appear by your side. But I cannot be more than 100 meters away from you."

"Ok I will work hard to increase my strength." She said rubbing his head lovingly....
