Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
Ep. 100 - Serum Time

Looking at the thing in Yao Han's hand, Bing Lizi commented softly, "Oh, I almost forgot you found Brother Chen's relic in this cave," he said as he glanced at Tian Jian.

On the jade slip was Chen Long's name and something that read 'Serum of Time', but what made Yao Han confused was that he couldn't read most of the explanations about this 'Serum of Time, except for the first part.

"Time Serum? Whatisthis? Why can't most of it be read?" yao Han asked Tian Jian.

The man nicknamed the Heavenly Sword King shrugged his shoulders in ignorance. The answer is Bing Lizi.

"I think it's one of Brother Chen's magic creations. Based on the name of his magic, it had to do with the laws of time, considering Brother Chen also mastered space and time magic other than Brother Xi."

Yao Han then recalled the time when he had just become the owner of the pagoda heirloom that became the entrance of the Dimension Pagoda. At that time Feng Xian said Chen Long mastered space and time magic, as evidenced by him being able to change the composition of space and time of pocket dimensions into a pagoda heirloom.

"The difference between the two is that Brother Xi is more proficient in space magic, while Brother Chen is more proficient in time magic." Bing Lizi added confidence to her opinion of the magic named Chen Long's Time Serum.

Meirong who was also paying attention to the jade slip that Tian Jian had given, then entered into the conversation, "Han'er, isn't the engraving pattern of the jade slip similar to the jade slip that Senior Feng gave you?"

Yao Han turned to Meirong for a moment before noticing the jade slip in his hands more thoroughly.

"Eh? Teacher Hong was right..." Yao Han then took out another jade slip that Meirong meant. This thing was given to Feng Xian a few days before Yao Han left the Star Moon Island.

Other than having similarities to the pattern of the carvings, the jade slip that Feng Xian had given him was completely unreadable. Feng Xian had long since found it and believed it to be one of Chen Long's relics scattered in the Green Forest Country. However since the jade slip was useless to him, he only kept it until it was then given to Yao Han.

What shocked the residents of the Eternal Cave was the moment Yao Han brought the two jade slips closer together, as if the two objects were pulling together then fusing together. Afterwards the object vibrated and then emitted a dazzling green light, forcing the people there to protect their sense of sight.

"Oh, my gosh.." lamented Yao Han. That dazzling light only appeared for a moment. Yao Han blinked his eyes a few times before looking back towards the jade slip that Tian Jian and Feng Xian had given him.

"Nh?"

Those two jade slips had actually fused perfectly magically. The one in Yao Han's hand was a new jade slip, slightly larger in size, still having the same engraving pattern, only it was lighter in color, like Yutian's jade green eye color.

Uniquely, now Yao Han could clearly read the contents of the jade slip. Meirong and Yutian on his right and left side, came to read because they were so curious. Bing Lizi also took part, but used the Heavenly Senses for not wanting to jostle.

It was silent for quite a while after they read the contents of the jade slip. Yao Han and his two teachers were still trying to digest the contents of the jade slip, until then there was the sound of Bing Lizi's laughter.

"Is there anything funny, Uncle Master Bing?" Yao Han represented the contents of the other head in astonishment at Bing Lizi's reaction.

"You must have deduced the outline of the Serum magic back then, right?"

Yao Han nodded slowly. Time Serum is indeed a unique magic that is useful to accelerate the aging of the plant's age. In the explanation of the jade slip, the Time Serum was a liquid that emitted a jade green light.

The advantage is that anyone who mastered this unique magic, besides Chen Long of course as the creator, it will get a magic plant aged as you wish or aged very old so easily.

"But I didn't find anything funny."

"There's really nothing funny, but have you heard about Brother Chen's strange habits?"

"What does it mean to eat magic plants like snacks?"

That answer left Yao Han and the others stunned.

"It was no wonder Senior Feng called Senior Chen a strange and crazy person as well. One reason is because of this." Yutian sighed while shaking his head.

***

"Senior Tian, do you mind teaching Han'er swordsmanship?"

Tian Jian was surprised by Meirong's question. Both of his eyebrows shot up and looked at the beautiful woman with a strange look.

"It's not a matter of me objecting or not, but you're the teacher of Han'er's Sword Dao." Tian Jian followed Meirong and Yutian's call to Yao Han, "Wouldn't it be unethical if I also teach him swordsmanship? Though you master swordsmanship as well as I do."

"Don't go low, Senior. You should know because I'm female, my swordsmanship isn't very suitable for Han'er. He'll have a hard time studying my best swordsmanship or my swordsmanship as a whole. It's good if Han'er can learn the Sword Dao from you and lucky the sky brings us together with you."

"Hm..." Tian Jian stroked his chin while weighing his decision. He looked at Meirong for a moment, then turned to Yao Han who was also looking at him. Tian Jian could see there was an enthusiastic light and hope in Yao Han's eyes on him, "Han'er, follow me."

Tian Jian took Yao Han out of the cave, which Bing Lizi and the others followed. They stopped not too far from the cave. Tian Jian took out two wooden twigs measuring one meter and gave one of them to Yao Han.

"Sister Hong, I don't doubt your abilities in swordsmanship, but I hope you don't mind or take offense if I test Han'er in mastery of swordsmanship."

"No problem, Senior."

Bing Lizi and the others noticed the two a little far away. Tian Jian and Yao Han stood facing each other, separated by a distance of several steps.

"Han'er, let's practice swordsmanship. Use the twig as best you can." Tian Jian smiled meaningfully.

Yao Han nodded slowly before noticing the twig in his hand. It looks so fragile, most likely it will be broken just once.

Yao Han took a deep breath, then flowed the earth and metal elemental Qi together into his twig sword. Tian Jian was aware of Yao Han's actions, making him smile thinly. Slowly, the look on his face and aura around Yao Han changed.

"Aren't they just practicing sparring? Why does Xiao Han look so serious?" Bing Lizi muttered in surprise.

Meirong explained Yao Han turned more serious while practicing sparring with them ever since Feng Xian trained him directly.

"A life-and-death battle while practicing sparring? Even on his own disciple Brother Feng is too much."
