33 The Ditzy Sheep

On the table near the Caldron, Blue Pheonix checked all of them to make sure they were of the correct product and quantity.

"Golden plywood should be easy enough to find. Ming has found a tree near your corporeal body."

Walking elegantly out the moon gate after delivering the excess ingredients off of the table, Xuanmei heard the Blue Pheonix sigh in frustration and annoyance as she fluttered her eyelids open.

After Xuanmei woke up from learning the recipe for making the pill, in which she, surprisingly, understood, she saw Ming prodding her into the direction of a small sheep.

The sheep, although packed with fluffy white fur, was merely a youngling, not bigger than the length of Xuanmei's petite palms joined together side by side.

Xuanmei held it with a palm, it's four hooves rooted deeply, pressing into Xuanmei's palm, before sitting down on it. Xuanmei's face changed as the fluffy ball's heavy woolly body sank into her palm, resting sleepily on it.

"This is a low leveled spirit beast. It's a level two spirit beast, in fact."

Staring into the beast's eyes, Xuanmei watched as the tiny sheep's eyes slowly became clouded as it stood up and rubbed it's hands onto her hand.

"Now, it is in a state of slumber. Try to use your Fire element to warm the sheep up and snap it out of it's slumber. Be careful of what temperature, and how much control you place on your element. Do not burn the sheep or there will be consequences."

Xuanmei closed her eyes and breathed in, guiding that breath and covering it into warm energy, travelling into her arm to her palm.

The sheep moved away uncomfortably, and Xuanmei's lips twitched downward.

The sheep leaned in as red cane from within Xuanmei's fingertips, cascading slowly, and like a waterfall, it flowed onto the sheep's wool. Directing it, the energy hesitated pummelling into the sheep's wooly body, deciding to hang around the sheep's area, warming the sheep up.

The sheep's eyes fluttered open, clear like a crystal lake.

Xuanmei stood up, looking at Ming expectantly.

"This can help you control the Caldron's fire. Bluey had told me of you urgently needing golden Plywood, and I found a tree with exactly that, around a hundred meters away."

"After we're done with your pill to reopen your Dantian, you can then go to where Harias Academy is. Yu, apparently, wants you to fetch something called the 'Meriandem'."

Nodding, and even though she had many questions, Xuanmei kept quiet. The sheep stumbled around blindly, the fluffy bundle a mess after Xuanmei had stood up. After stomping around in a ditzy manner for a few seconds, it fell face first into the dirt, falling asleep in mere seconds.

"Now that you have known how to control a bit of your element, let's go. The plywood can't be far from here."

"Do we fell the tree once we reach it to get the wood?"

"Yeah. Try using your unstable Psychic energy and uprooting it first."
