Yue and Hou both heard this and simultaneously said,
"That's it!"
Hou retook control over his body and looked down at it, the Celestial Law Amplifying Physique. It seemed like it was a galaxy underneath, the Celestial Ink had been absorbed into the body and reformed it with Flowing Divine Script.
His body had now become a full treasure of its own, a unified consciousness, soul and body. This meant that any body cultivation through it was amplified due to the influence of the Celestial Ink.
"Master, Araxis...thank you. Now I can become even stronger. With cultivating two paths at once I can become the strongest there is. It is all thanks to you two."
First Yue spoke,
"It is only my duty, you are foremost my disciple. In fact I should apologise to you. All my knowledge is outdated in this modern world. All I can offer is my wisdom and controlling this Celestial Ink."
"Don't apologise, even if your methods were outdated, without them I wouldn't be where I am now."
Then Araxis spoke up,
"Again, I should be the one to apologise. Magic can be pretty much discarded with this form of cultivation. And now all I'm doing is sharing a portion of your memories. Really I should thank you."
"Again, your magic was invaluable to my path. And when I escape this false world and ascend to your world I will need your help even more!" Hou spoke from the heart. He even continued and thanked someone he wouldn't have thought of initially,
"Even Master Mo Huai has been invaluable. I am only where I am from the kindness of others. Despite my gripes with his methods, Mo Huai has treated me with nothing but kindness."
Yue and Araxis both agreed, they knew some of the harshness of reality. While Hou had hated Mo Huai due to what he did, trapping Hou and his people for power they knew this was normal. In this and any world, you cannot grow without harming others.
The balance is about reducing your harm and being kind where you can. Now Hou was begining to understand this fundamental principle.
Hou, however, did not know of what Araxis and Yue was thinking but he was feeling it. He did not yet understand but he knew that even good people might do bad.
He then stopped his pondering, he spoke to Araxis and Yue,
"I will now focus on my cultivation. Whenever I am need of help I hope masters will help"
Yue and Araxis both spoke in unison,
"Of course we will!"
Hou then finished his reserves of mental energy he had saturated his body with. Now he was very much drained, even struggling to move. He could think but he was slower than usual.
In this groggy state from me talking exhaustion, Hou remembered a detail. When he was with Fatty Kuang to get his 10000 alcohol pill, he was given another pill!
"Refined Alto Cloud Mentality Pill!"
Hou looked through his robes, struggling to cause action with his mental energy drained. Finally he found the pill. It was in a small bag. He opened the bag and tipped the pill directly into his mouth.
Closing his eyes, Hou then begun to meditate. Focusing on taking in the pill and digesting it properly.
The pill traveled down into Hou's body, and Hou began to absorb it. First a later of sealing laws were absorbed into the Celestial Law Amplifying Physique. Then the main body of the pill was shown.
As Hou absorbed the pill, the products did not go into Hou's body but instead straight to the consciousness. Different laws entangled together and formed a stream which traveled from Hou's navel to his consciousness.
The consciousness was a formless idea, it did not have any fixed position but usually it stayed within the soul which was inside Hou's Celestial body.
The helix of laws spun and made their way into Hou's soul. It then strengthen his consciousness and Hou could feel his mental energy surging.
Not only did his mental energy return to normal levels, it exploded higher. Only estimating but Hou felt his consciousness was more than double the strength than before!
Instantly, Hou could feel his thoughts return to usual speed. They had become sluggish from exhausting his mental energy but now he could think with more clarity than even before. Hou stood up and moved his body.
He felt that he could move with more precision than before, due to more mental energy being able to be used.
Hou then poured himself another cup of tea. He felt the teacup had grown cold and decided to make use if his few laws.
Hou begun to think of the sun, the only applicable laws here are the sun. He was changing his impression of the sun to lean towards heat. And with his impression changed, the expression too would change.
Hou begun to circulate his sun laws around his palm, letting out his heat expression. The tea was then getting heated up and after a few minutes it was bubbling.
He smiled and shook his head thinking,
"Too much..."
After blowing on the steaming cup of tea, Hou took a sip and took pleasure in it's complex flavours. He had not focused on the flavour before, but now that he did he understood it.
Once he had finished his tea, Hou rung a bell. When he was given the room, he was told to ring the bell if he needed anything or if he was finished.
Yun Cha opened the door and stood outside. She inspected the room then turned to Hou,
"Is everything alright, Sir? Are you done?"
"Yes I am done now, thank you. The tea was excellent, a very complex flavour."
"It was out pleasure hosting you tonight, please come again anytime." Hou nodded as he walked out of the room.
Before Yun Cha followed to escort Hou, she looked into the room once more. She looked at the room and did a double take. She had sworn there was a work of calligraphy there before...
