Gate of Immortality

Chapter 202: Distant Hearts

Yang Shi saw her eyes. Maybe others couldn't tell it, but Yang Shi can feel it. Yang Shi felt a pang of pain in his heart as he saw those distant eyes.

" Is young master is tired? I should make prepare hot water for your bath." Bai Ruxue got up as she turned to leave. But Yang Shi grabbed her arm as he pulled her to him.

" Ruxue, Are you angry?" Yang Shi asked softly.

"' Me? Angry? I don't get what young master is saying." Bai Ruxue shook her head.

" I know. I have been quite irresponsible these days. Perhaps you felt that I was ignoring you. Maybe I am really." Yang Shi sighed as he hugged her tightly.

" Ruxue, I do not know how to express my emotions. I used to cultivating, wandering alone. Thinking of someone who might be waiting for me, I can't imagine." Yang Shi laughed in self mocking.

" Tell me, Ruxue, Are you angry? If you are, tell me the reason. Whatever you say, I will change."

" No young master. I am really not. It's just my mind." Bai Ruxue smiled.

" Ever since young master saved me, My life has been changed completely. I have been lacking nothing. Young master gave me the power, the power to protect everyone around me."

" But then I realize, How precious young master is to me. I can't let go of you. Even for few days, I feel restless."

" Whatmore, I don' have the experience to the eyes center of the crowd. Quite a few rich nobles and young men from aristocratic families have come to see me. Sometimes, It feels suffocating. I wish how you would step forward and protect me."

" I know it sounds dumb, but it can't be helped. I but after hearing young master's word, I realized that I am also at fault." Bai Ruxue sighed.

" Cultivation world, simply the world of strong. With enough power, the Miao family destroyed mine, and you destroyed the Miao family. The rule doesn't exist.  Young master is a dragon amongst the men. There will be simply many beauties that will fall for you."

" As I pledged that day, I shall be the servant of young master for my all lives.No matter how you treat, as long as you keep me by your side." Bai Ruxe said.

" Haah, Ruxue, seems you are mistaken. Servant? As I said, You shall be my woman. Your body, your soul, everything of yours belongs to me." Yang Shi turned her around he closed her face.

" Do you understand, I might be far away, maybe in another universe. But how can I forget you, Ruxue?" Yang Shi muttered.

" I am already satisfied with what I have now. I don't have any regrets in this life." Bai Ruxue laughed. Yang Shi was finally relieved to see Bai Ruxue happy.

" You see, I even prepared a present for you." Yang Shi laughed as he said. " Present? Does young master prepared it just he thought I am angry?" Bai Ruxue pouted.

" Ehh... Not really. I found this piece of gem, so I thought to personally make this for you." Yang Shi waved his palm as a neckless apreare4d in it.

It was the chain was thin, with a dual color of faded red and silver. On the middle of it, a pendant with a deep blue gem embedded. The gem has a thin shade of white over it, like stars scattered in the sky.

" Waahh, It's so pretty." Bai Ruxue'e eyes sparkled as she saw it. " Well, It's called Bright Moon Crystal. I found this with help of...a friend of mine." Yang Shi chuckled as he remembered Hua Yewan.

" I polished it and made this neckless. Hehe, It's not supposed to be an ordinary pendant, even if it's one currently." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

" It's indeed very pretty. Young master, How about I dress for you?" Bai Ruxue smiled. 

" Sure, We have a banquet to attend." Yang Shi smiled.

" Ehh, I think me going with you will be, a bit inappropriate, no" Bai Ruxue hesitated. Since there will be many important people.

" Listen, Since You are my woman, you don't need to hide. Why be afraid? Even if I sky falls, I can shoulder it for you." Yang Shi rubbed Bai Ruxue's lips as he said.

" Mhm." Bai Ruxue nodded.

" You know what, I am thinking to return from the banquet earlier." Yang Shi smiled mischievously.

" Why?" Bai Ruxue didn't understand at first. But when she looked at Yang Shi's evil expression, she blushed.

" Young master! You are so...perverted." Bai Ruxue scoffed as she went to change. Yang Shi scratched his head as he sat on the couch.

There was a fruit basket on the table. It was filled with many fruits that are suitable for cultivators. Yang Shi looked at the red fruit as sat still. Yang Shi's eyes sparkled as he channeled some unknown energy to the fruit.

He didn't use a shred of spiritual qi, yet the fruit started to float. Yang Shi's face didn't change as he pulled the fruit towards him. The fruit hovered, but suddenly, it quivered as it fell down.

Yang Shi didn't move as the falling fruit again stopped mid-air. Yang Shi finally pulled it as it fell on his palm.

" Hmm, My soul qi isn't much powerful. It's below an average Violet Palace Expansion Realm cultivator. But unless I am fully were to use soul qi, I won't be at a disadvantage in other professions." Yang Shi thought.

Soul, Body, and Energy, the three most important things for a cultivator. Only balancing in them can make one stronger. The soul is the most delicate thing of a cultivator.

Awakening of the soul gives cultivators many abilities. One of them is the divine sense, which uses soul qi to enhance the six senses of a person. 

Soul qi is also like spiritual qi, a form of energy. But soul qi is less versatile than spiritual qi. Divine sense can be used as both attacking, defending, detection. But its worth indeed lies in the dao craftsmanship.

Let it be alchemy, blacksmithing, rune inscription, or formation making. After a certain level, crafting them would become impossible without the usage of divine sense. Because, the higher grade the product becomes, it would take much more precision and energy.

For example, Master grade blacksmiths can forge till Quasi True grade treasures as ut only requires drawing the spirit diagram. But making a real True grade treasure is impossible unless they connects the spirit diagrams and inscribe runes on it.

The first step to make runes and talismans is to have divine sense. Sonly after the Violet Palace Expansion Realm, or when the soul awakes, marks the start of a new journey.

" I guess, I should try to cultivate a soul type technique." Yang Shi thought.

" Young master, How am I looking?" A voice startled Yang Shi as he looked back. He saw Bai Ruxue stood there dressed. For a moment, he couldn't take off his eyes from her.

" Damn."
