My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

After Mo Yan and Mo Yàn left, Lou Mu Yan took out the Mortal Ascension Pill that Elder Luo had promised before to check it.

The other spirit pets hadn’t yet broken through to the cultivation base of Immortal and could only absorb and refine very little of the surrounding celestial force. Without the help of the Mortal Ascension Pill, it would be much more difficult to breakthrough.

“Yaner, is this Mortal Ascension Pill a grade 11 pill?” Ming Xiu asked, looking at the milky-yellow pill in Lou Mu Yan’s hand.

He learnt from the jade slip given by the steward that the pills in the Immortal World were divided into fifteen grades, and other specialisations were similar, with an extra five grades added to the grades on their original interface.

Lou Mu Yan’s talent for understanding alchemy was excellent. She placed the Mortal Ascension Pill in her mouth, tasted it carefully, swallowed, then said: “Mm, this is a grade 11 low-quality Mortal Ascension Pill. I’ve already tasted the general spiritual herbs used. As long as my alchemy skills rise to grade 11, I can refine it.”

The Mortal Ascension Pill was widely circulated around the Immortal World, and all ascended cultivators must use them, so they weren’t considered valuable pills.

When they heard that Lou Mu Yan could refine it in the future, the eyes of the several spirit pets lit up.

“Then that’s good!” Ming Xiu nodded with a smile.

Peng Ying Island provided them with ten years of free Moral Ascension Pills, but the several spirit pets weren’t included. It would be much more convenient if Yan’er could refine it.

“Let’s convert to celestial energy as soon as possible first.” Lou Mu Yan motioned to Ming Xiu to take the Mortal Ascension Pill.

“Alright!”

The two of them absorbed and refined the medicinal power of the Mortal Ascension Pill bit by bit. Just as the guide said, after taking the Mortal Ascension Pill, the repelling force of the Laws they felt were reduced a lot, and they absorbed the celestial force a hundred times faster too.

Time passed day by day, and three years flew by.

In the past three years, Mo Yan and Mo Yàn successfully broke through to become Immortals. Lou Mu Yan also successfully ascended to grade 11 alchemist and refined the Mortal Ascension Pill.

After the several spirit pets took the Mortal Ascension Pill, Mo Yàn took them out to wander and experience, and they all successfully broke through to the level of Immortal a year ago.

In the past three years, Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu weren’t idle either. After cultivating for a period of time each time, they would go out to the city for a wander or took on some missions that could help improve their strength.

Lou Mu Yan used the six thousand low-quality celestial stones given to them by Elder Luo to exchange for a large amount of spiritual herbs for refining Mortal Ascension Pills.

Her pill production rate and pill quality were both very high. Not only could she provide it for her people, but she also often traded it, and had accumulated a lot of celestial stones from it.

After obtaining the celestial stones, she didn’t save it, but instead she and Ming Xiu teamed up to arrange a Celestial Gathering Array and jumped directly into it to speed up the absorption of celestial force.

They both understood that ‘one couldn’t trap the wolf if they couldn’t sacrifice their child¹’.

On a particular day, Lou Mu Yan opened her eyes from cultivating, the corner of her lips rising.

“Yan’er, were you successful?” Ming Xiu walked up to her and asked with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan flipped her hands, and a pure force of celestial energy wandered around her palm, “Mm, I’ve also successfully transformed all the spiritual energy in my body into celestial energy.”

Ming Xiu converted all into celestial energy in his body a month ago, but Lou Mu Yan was delayed for a while because she often had to take time out to refine pills.

Now the two of them had successfully advanced to the bottom level among Immortals, but after becoming Lower Immortals, they could take on many more missions.

“Let’s go find Consul Xiang to fulfill the promise of that day.” Lou Mu Yan said with a smile.

In the past three years, she had been continuously refining Mortal Ascension Pills and had reached almost grade 12. As long as she obtained a few more pill recipes, she would be able to breakthrough.

Ming Xiu was very interested in the arrays and smithing classics in the library of classics of the central city on the island, “Alright!”

The two of them reported their names with their identity cards and were quickly taken to a room by a guard.

“Greetings Consul Xiang!” They greeted as soon as they entered the door.

Xiang Yu Tang was sitting alone in the room drinking tea. When he saw the two people coming, he smiled faintly and said: “Sit!”

The two of them walked over and sat down opposite Xiang Yu Tang.

Xiang Yu Tang poured two cups of spiritual tea and placed it in front of the two of them, “I originally thought that it would already be amazing if you could transform the elemental energy in your bodies into celestial energy within ten years. I didn’t expect that it only took you two three years to do it, truly incredible.”

“This is also thanks to the care of Peng Ying Island for us to be able to cultivate with peace of mind.” Ming Xiu had a sincere smile on his face.

After joining Peng Ying Island, they did receive a lot of care, such as free Mortal Ascension Pills and a cave filled with celestial force.

“You both have good dispositions.” Xiang Yu Tang chuckled: “Are you coming to me this time for me to fulfill the promise made when we first met?”

Xiang Yu Tang’s status on the outer island of Peng Ying Island was second only to the Island Master. When he heard that Lou Mu Yan two wanted to see him, he immediately checked the information of the two in the past three years.

He also learnt about Lou Mu Yan’s transaction after refining Mortal Ascension Pills. He couldn’t think of any other reason to come to meet him in such a hurry except to browse the island’s library of classics.

“Mm, we are indeed here for the matter of the library of classics.” Ming Xiu admitted straightforwardly.

Xiang Yu Tang liked people with such a straightforward temperament. He took out a token and handed it to Ming Xiu: “This is a level 1 token to browse through the library of classics. Take it and someone will arrange for you.”

“Consul Xiang, is the library of classics divided into several levels?” Lou Mu Yan asked with a smile after some thought.

Xiang Yu Tang replied: “The library of classics is the treasure house of specialisations in my outer island. It is divided into five levels. I can give you the permission for level 1, but it isn’t so easy to obtain the permissions level 2 and above.”

“Then what are the requirements for browsing level 2 and above?” Lou Mu Yan continued to asked.

In the Immortal World, it was difficult to obtain specialisation inheritances without opportunities, so if she and Ming Xiu wanted to improve, they could only consult the classics on Peng Ying Island.

“It needs to be exchanged using contribution points for Peng Ying Island.” Xiang Yu Tang paused, then said: “As long as you complete the missions assigned by the island, you can obtain contribution points. If you accumulate them to a certain level, then you can exchange them for level 2 or even higher tokens for accessing the classics.”

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up, “Alright, thank you consul for informing us!”

Xiang Yu Tang thought a bit, then said with a smile: “I happen to have a mission here. The contribution points reward is very high, and those who participate may also get unexpected opportunities.”

Then his tone changed: “But it is very dangerous, and your life may be in danger at any time.”

Lou Mu Yan two had no doubts about Xiang Yu Tang’s words. High rewards must mean high risks, they understood this.

“May we know what the mission is?” Ming Xiu thought for a bit, then asked, “If we participate in this mission, are there others also participating?”

Although they were interested in taking risks, but they also wanted to see whether the mission was worth it or not.

“I can only tell you roughly what the mission that needs to be completed is, but the contents of the mission need to be kept confidential.”

Xiang Yu Tang continued: “Peng Lai Outer Island will mobilise five Lower Immortals, ten Intermediate Immortals and three Honoured Venerables this time to compete with other forces for a fortuitous opportunity, so besides you two, there are other people participating, and you can only be regarded as going to cooperate, not the main force of the mission.

¹I swear whenever this saying comes up I always wonder where this came from and just how it came about.
