AMSSO-Chapter 37: Master Also Knows These

Jiang Yunnuan’s talent and aptitude were outstanding. After experiencing the initial confusion, she very quickly grasped the trick.

“I got it!”

She was especially happy, like a child who just learned how to play with a new toy, excited beyond measure.

She pulled the other materials over and, following the method Mu Shiyue had taught, continued carefully processing them.

Her eyes were bright and sparkling, and though her hands moved clumsily, she didn’t make any mistakes.

Seeing her grasp it, everyone felt happy for her.

Then, they all felt a deep admiration for Mu Shiyue’s skill.

Master actually had this ability as well!

Master was really, really, really too low-key!

To think they used to believe that Master couldn’t do anything except talk!

Fortunately, they’d only ever grumbled about it in their hearts and hadn’t actually spoken those words out loud.

Otherwise, their faces would be burning with shame right now!

Mu Shiyue didn’t know what her disciples were thinking. She turned her gaze to Qin Yiwei, “Do you know how to make a medicine that can change one’s voice?”

Qin Yiwei instantly froze, her face stiff with embarrassment, “N-no, I don’t.”

Although she had her past life’s experiences, she hadn’t personally made many pills, let alone ones with such a special effect.

“All right, then you can go ahead and make it.”

“I-I don’t know how!” Qin Yiwei was a bit flustered.

If she knew how, she wouldn’t need Master to tell her, she would’ve done it herself.

“I’ll teach you,” Mu Shiyue said.

Everyone’s eyes widened again,“You know how?!”

“A little bit.”

Mu Shiyue nodded, then picked out suitable materials from the pile Qin Yiwei had brought back.

Fortunately, they’d gone on that big shopping trip today, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to make anything.

“These are the materials for a basic Voice-Changing Pill,” Mu Shiyue said. “One pill can change the voice for ten hours.”

Ten hours was already enough time for them to carry out their tasks.

She hadn’t even started making them yet, but Qin Yiwei was already looking at Mu Shiyue with worship in her eyes.

“Master, you also know how to do this?!”

She couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “Master, why didn’t you show this before?”

Xin Jinrui and Chu Jingzhuo were also impressed, “Yes, Master, you’re so multi-talented, why hide it?”

Mu Shiyue glanced at them, tugged at the corner of her lips, her smile a little strange, “I didn’t need to show it before.”

Seeing her bitter smile, they instantly felt regret and shame. They had touched on Master’s sad matters again!

The reason Master hadn’t shown her skills before was, of course, because their grandmasters were still here.

Why was she showing them now?

—Because her parents were gone, and there was no one left to shelter and love her!

If possible, who wouldn’t want to be the kind of child who didn’t have to worry about anything and could live willfully and freely?

Qin Yiwei opened her mouth, not knowing how to apologize.

But Mu Shiyue shifted the subject, “Come, I’ll teach you and you can start now.”

She looked at Jiang Yunnuan, “You should be able to finish around the same time as her.”

Qin Yiwei immediately nodded, “Alright, I’ll work hard!”

Then, under Mu Shiyue’s guidance, she also began processing the medicinal ingredients.

This time, Qin Yiwei had bought back quite a few utensils, most of them were kitchen tools.

She had bought dozens of iron pots, cutting boards, kitchen knives, and the like.

She followed Master’s reasoning and drew analogies.

—Since you could use iron pots to refine pills, then buying cutting boards, knives, and kitchen tools would also come in handy, right?

And now, they really were being used!

Watching Master instruct Qin Yiwei in refining pills, Xin Jinrui and Chu Jingzhuo, who had nothing to do, couldn’t help exchanging glances.

They felt a bit redundant.

Chu Jingzhuo even began to ponder whether he should learn something too.

For example, talismans or formations.

Surely Master would know them… right?

Xin Jinrui, unaware that Chu Jingzhuo was already considering learning new skills, turned his eyes to the few storage bags.

“These really can’t be used.” He sighed with regret, “If someone discovered them, that’d be trouble.”

Chu Jingzhuo came back to his senses and nodded. “Yes, we don’t dare use them outside.”

The capacities of those storage bags were much larger than the ones they currently had.

But four of them were particularly gaudy.

Most importantly, they all had distinct designs, and you could even faintly make out a few characters!

They had clearly been custom-made when refining.

If they took those storage bags out and used them, they’d surely be recognized.

So, those bags could only be used within the sect, not outside.

“This time when we go out, we might bring back a lot of things,” Xin Jinrui fretted. “I’m afraid our current storage bags won’t be able to hold them all!”

“Yes,” Chu Jingzhuo nodded, his delicate face also showing worry.

If Zhao Hanxue and Xu Chengjun had heard this, they would’ve been furious!

—Were they preparing to clean out their entire households?!

The two exchanged looks, both sighing.

What a pity!

“Oh right, these bags shouldn’t go to waste.”

Mu Shiyue’s voice sounded from the side.

They turned their heads, seeing Master walking over.

Qin Yiwei was still busy processing the materials over there.

Seeing the seriousness and focus on her face, she must’ve already grasped what Master had taught her.

“Master?” The two looked at the little bundle in Master’s arms.

They didn’t understand why Master doted on this Iron-Eating Beast cub so much.

The cub was indeed fluffy and cute, but did it really need to be held all the time?

Still, they only complained in their hearts, not daring to say it out loud.

How could they understand Mu Shiyue’s deep love for the Iron-Eating Beast cub?

In her first life she’d raised many animals, but never a panda!

A panda was a national treasure!

Now that she had the chance to hold one, of course she had to enjoy it!

“Give me the bags.”

Mu Shiyue held out her hand to them.

They didn’t hesitate, and handed the storage bags over.

Mu Shiyue picked up one, then circulated her spiritual power.

Like playing with prayer beads, her fingers brushed across the bag’s surface.

Wherever her fingers passed, the markings disappeared. Xin Jinrui and Chu Jingzhuo’s eyes widened more and more, their breathing unconsciously held.

“Th-th-this…”

“M-m-master…”

The two were utterly dumbfounded by Mu Shiyue’s actions, so shocked they couldn’t even form words!

Generally speaking, magical tools could be modified and upgraded.

But to upgrade a magical tool required fusing higher-grade materials and more spiritual power.

And with one mistake, the perfectly fine tool could be ruined.

Xin Jinrui’s life-bound spiritual sword could also be upgraded, but he would have to pay a huge price.

No matter the method, neither of them had ever seen anyone able to refine a magical tool bare-handed!

If Mu Shiyue had taken out a set of tools and slowly worked at it, they wouldn’t have been this shocked.

But this was bare-handed refining!

And Mu Shiyue was even cradling the Iron-Eating Beast cub with one hand, while casually modifying the storage bag with the other!

Even if she only altered the surface, the difficulty was enormous!

Yet seeing her do it so casually, it left them dumbstruck!

This was simply outrageous!

After finishing with refining a small batch of pills, Qin Yiwei eagerly came over, only to catch sight of Mu Shiyue’s actions. The cheer that had just reached her lips instantly vanished.

Her body leaned back unconsciously, her mind going blank.

Her eyes didn’t go bad, right?!

“All done.”

Mu Shiyue herself was unaware of just how great an impact she had made on her disciples.

After wiping clean the surface of a storage bag and turning it into an utterly plain and ordinary-looking one, she casually tossed it back to Chu Jingzhuo.

Chu Jingzhuo fumbled to catch it, nearly dropping it to the ground.

The moment he steadied his grip, he couldn’t be bothered with anything else. He immediately sent his spiritual sense inside, then gasped sharply, his whole body trembling with excitement.

“No problem! It works!”
