My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Chapter 678: Connected Seals

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Once again, Lonemoon contacted Yu Hong. He told her to get the Earth Demon on the phone. For some reason, he felt like the Earth Demon – who was just a ball of demonic Qi and who did not even have a physical body to speak of – seemed even weaker than he did before he returned to the demonic realm. Lonemoon told him to tell the story of how he possessed the fiendish cultivator in full detail once again, before he asked more about the demonic seed.

It turned out that years ago, when Tian Ji caught the fiendish cultivator Zhong Yi alive, he was gunning for the dark fire inside his body. Yet, he found that he could not control it. Thus, he had no choice but to keep Zhong Yu locked up, Zhong Yi suffered the backlash from the dark fire and the torture from Tian Ji. Of course he developed both hatred and fear. He was a mortal after all. He was bound to break sooner or later.

But the Earth Demon was a demon. This little torture was nothing in his eyes. What’s more, the other party did not seem to notice his existence. Zhong Yi was his host, so the Earth Demon stuck with him and remained in captivity. He had a temper, however. He felt as if he had just remained in captivity in silence, he would be letting his entire demon race down. Thus, in 500 years, he hid in Zhong Yi’s body and convinced Zhong Yi to transfer his life to the demon. At the same time, he produced a demon seed and hid it in Tian Ji’s body.

When they saw Tian Ji in the beginning, they noticed the demonic Qi in his body because of that demonic seed. Later on, Shu Yi acknowledged him as her master. Of course she would not look on as her only pillar of support disappeared. She made use of the system and got the demonic seed out of her body, placing it inside her own body, in isolation.

“Since they’re already separated, why is Shu Yi still being affected by it?” That was something Lonemoon could not understand. If not for Tian Ji’s intervention earlier, Shu Yi would clearly have turned into a demon. The system was not that useless, was it?

“Because the system got rid of the seal!” Shen Ying answered as she tapped on the screen in front of her.

“What seal?” Lonemoon stared blankly at Shen Ying. He recalled what the system said just moments ago and asked, “Didn’t the system get rid of the seal on Zuo Two Bucks’ body?”

Shen Ying did not turn around to face Lonemoon. She kept her eyes locked on the screen in front of her, and placed the parenting system’s icon in the center of the screen. It was then that she said slowly and carefully, “Oh, I connected 001 system’s seal to control the demonic seed together with the seal to control demonic Qi earlier for convenience’s sake.”

Lonemoon: “...”

Yi Qing: “...”

What?

Σ(°△°|||)

Earlier? She was not referring to the time the parenting system crashed into the fire-prevention wall, was she? In other words, they only had to target one of the two in order to deal with them both?

So the last time she tapped on the screen in silence, she was actually connecting the system and the person together? What exactly did Big Boss Jing teach her in the past?

“How did you find out that the demonic seed had been moved into Shu Yi’s body?” Lonemoon pursed his lips, refusing to give up understanding the situation. He and Chef had not noticed this before.

“I saw it!” Shen Ying answered. A moment later, she added, “The other time, on the boat.”

The boat? The spirit boat?

They suddenly recalled the time they were returning from Yuan Yang City, when Shen Ying sat so close to Shu Yi and gave the latter a huge scare. They thought that she was just walking in the wrong direction. After all, she was a directionless idiot. Lonemoon didn’t think that she went all the way over on purpose, much less that she had found out about the demonic seed.

Lonemoon could not help but glare at Shen Ying. Why didn’t you freaking tell us!

“And then? What are you doing now?” Lonemoon pointed at the screens around them. She was still typing away at the screens. As she spoke, she did not even spare them a single glance.

“I’m updating it!” Shen Ying pointed at the parenting system.

“Updating?” Lonemoon hesitated. He looked at the little icon floating in the middle of the screen. “You’re updating the parenting system?” On closer inspection, Lonemoon found that the cartoon eyes on the icon had disappeared. It was replaced instead with a battery icon.

She really was updating it!

“Could it be... Master wants to force the parenting system to get 001 right out of the host’s body?” Yi QIng’s eyes brightened. He could not help but ask.

“Not really,” Shen Ying answered. It was then that she finally stopped tapping at the screen. Taking a bite of her fruit, she said, “The system said it would likely be discovered by the invader if it left the house. Since it’s getting so bored at home, I decided to download some games to keep it entertained.”

Yi Qing: “...”

Lonemoon: “...”

“There’s Tenant Tycoon as well!” Shen Ying’s eyes brightened as she scrolled through the games. There are three of us – that’s just nice. Shall we play a round?

“Get lost!” Motherf*cker!

Lonemoon had really been stupid to think that the foodie would be so hardworking.

“Brother Lonemoon, are you in?” A familiar male’s voice came through the door, sounding anxious.

“Tian Yi, what are you doing here/” Lonemoon recognised the man’s voice at once. He turned around and walked out. “Brother Tian Yi, you’re-” This was not the day they planned to pick the spirit herbs.

“Brother Lonemoon, it’s good that you’re here.” Tian Yi looked overjoyed to see Lonemoon. He walked briskly toward Lonemoon and scanned the inside of his house. Then, he pulled Lonemoon and took two steps back. With guilt in his voice, he said, “I’m not going to hide i from you – I’m looking for you because there’s something urgent that I need your help with!”

Lonemoon scanned him from head to toe. It was clear that Tian Yi was very nervous. Thankfully, Lonemoon had not been planning to invite Tian Yi in either, just in case he saw the system with the games menu open. Thus, he suggested, “Let’s go to the pavilion to talk.”

TIan Yi visibly relaxed. He turned and followed Lonemoon to the pavilion.

“Brother Tian Yi, please go ahead and tell me what you need help with.” Lonemoon immediately switched to business mode. He smiled and said, “I will do whatever I can to help.”

Tian Yi glanced at Lonemoon, The guilt in his eyes intensified. Sighing, he said, “Ai! I had no other choice either. That’s why I had to come and trouble you. Brother Lonemoon, you have many friends all around, and you have a great understanding of spirit herbs. That’s why I wanted to ask you if you know anyone with the Thousand Leaves Spirit Flower?”

“Radish Flower!” Lonemoon exclaimed before he could stop himself. The Thousand Leaves Spirit Flower is the flower of the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit. That’s Radish’s flower, wasn’t it? There was a whole store room of these flowers back in Invincible Sect!

“Huh?! Tian Yi hesitated. What Radish flower?

Lonemoon cleared his throat and said, “Brother Tian Yi, are you referring to the flower that the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit sprouts?”

“You have indeed heard of it, Brother Lonemoon!” Tian Yi was visibly excited as he nodded. “That’s right – that’s the flower!”

“I’ve heard that this flower can help with refining pills and improving the pills’ grades. But...” He looked at Tian Yi and continued, “Brother Tian Yi, you’re a Soul Formation cultivator. And you’re a tenth-stage alchemist as well. You shouldn’t need the Thousand Leaves Spirit Flower. It should make no difference to you whether you have it or not.” An alchemist of his skill would be successful most of the time.

“Ai, Brother Lonemoon, there are many things you do not know about me. I want this flower not to improve the quality of my pills, but...” He looked around anxiously. Tian Yi set up an isolation array around them. Then, he very carefully retrieved an old and fragile piece of paper from his robe. “Here, look at this and you will understand.”

Lonemoon glanced at the paper and realised that it was a recipe for a certain pill. On it was written in huge font: Demon-Breaking Pill.

“Demon-Breaking Pill?” Lonemoon looked up at Tian Yi.
