Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

At Liu Yang's house ...

Liu Xia and Xiao Mei were talking, while Liu Yang and Song Jia were in the room. But how did it happen?

Let's go back in time ...

When Xiao Mei and Song Jia arrived at Liu Yang's house, it was already 10 a.m., they saw that the two were eating breakfast. As the two girls had already eaten, they drank only one juice. After breakfast, Xiao Mei wanted to talk to Liu Xia, while Song Jia went to the room with Liu Yang, since she was the girl who spent less time with him.

The conversation of the two girls lasted a few hours, they did this to give Liu Yang and Song Jia enough time to do activities until they got tired, at least for Song Jia, as her physical body was the weakest among the three girls.

Xiao Mei and Song Jia let out all emotions throughout the day. The two talked to Liu Yang about the things they are going to do and may have to leave school and university. Liu Yang comforted the two girls as best as she could.

The four enjoyed themselves as much as possible inside Liu Yang's house until the next day. During the night, Xiao Mei and Song Jia had an unforgettable night.

The next day, Liu Yang prepared a big breakfast for the two girls and as a farewell, Xiao Mei and Song Jia played with Liu Yang in the morning for a few hours before they returned to the apartment to prepare for the trip to Beijing.

…

Liu Yang and Liu Xia decided to stay on vacation until next week, they decided to do it because they had an important matter to resolve, there were still four days left for Monday, the couple had that time to enjoy it. They will use the medicinal liquid created by Nightshade to increase their powers.

The couple was already in the basement of the house, the two were facing each other while the big bottle was between them. The preparations have already been made and they both had solemn looks on their faces.

"Honey, are you ready?" Liu Yang asked.

"Yes, are you ready?" She asked back.

"Yes. We can start "

Liu Yang and Liu Xia held hands, the right hand shook the right hand and the left hand shook the left hand. Both arms were around the bottle.

Slowly closing their eyes, the couple activated their magical powers. The great magic circle began to shine brightly, the pressure around the magic circle increased greatly before a barrier was erected. The barrier was to prevent the energy from escaping and being felt by other powerful mages.

The couple felt a giant mountain pressing on their bodies at the moment. They could only clench their teeth and withstand the pressure.

While holding the pressure, the white jade bottle began to crack slowly. The couple had to put up with the pressure while the bottle broke, that was their training this time.

Liu Yang and Liu Xia didn't know how much time had passed since they closed their eyes, the only thing they knew was that they had to hold on until the bottle broke and the medicinal liquid leaked out of the bottle and into their bodies.

One second ... One minute ... One hour ... Two hours ...

Time passed slowly, with each passing second it was almost an eternity for the couple. Their bodies were already starting to tear because of the pressure created by the magic circle.

The bottle didn't even have to crack in half, but their bodies were already bleeding and the flesh was tearing.

Fortunately, Liu Yang and Liu Xia drank a lot of Thousand Years Body Strengthening Liquid, which greatly improved the physical endurance and self-recovery of their bodies. The couple only dared to do this because of their strengthened bodies.

However, the two did not know that even with a strengthened body, the pain was still agonizing. Their bodies seemed to be breaking into pieces by the second.

Both of them have had worse pain before, but that pain was quick and does not compare with the slow and gradual pain of that situation. Despite the pain, the two did not shout or make a sound. Liu Yang and Liu Xia clenched their teeth and held on for the moment.

In the couple's mind, there was only one word: Hang on.

As they started the process, they could only take it until the end. If they give up, all the pain, money and items spent will be wasted. This was something the two did not want.

Billions of money were spent to make the medicinal liquid and adding Nightshade's help, it multiplied several times because it is not easy for a Mage Saint to help do something like this. If the world knew what Liu Yang and Liu Xia did, they would be terrified, because it was too wasteful.

…

Liu Yang and Liu Xia were in the same position for two days in a row, they kept their eyes closed and their teeth clenched. It seemed that the two didn't know how much time had passed or what happened to their bodies, they just closed their minds and endured the pain. They would only wake up when Nightshade asks them to wake up.

If the couple looked at the current state of their bodies, they would be terrified. Their clothes were completely torn and covered with blood, the skin and flesh were torn and twisted deeply, in some parts it was possible to see the muscles and bones, blood was running through the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

The couple's current situation was deplorable and terrible. Had it not been for the power of the strengthening liquid, the two would have long since died.

The bottle finally broke completely, but the liquid did not leak on the floor, the liquid was floating in front of the couple.

An incredible thing happened seconds after the bottle broke completely. The floating liquid began to divide slowly to both sides.

When the liquid reached the bodies of Liu Yang and Liu Xia, it began to penetrate the flesh, internal organs and mix with the blood. The effects of this medicinal liquid were to strengthen the physical body and increase the amount of magical power supported by the mage's body.

The medicinal liquid created by Nightshade had the same function as the Thousand Years Body Strengthening Liquid, but the effects were slightly less. Since one was made by nature while the other was made by someone.

The heavy wounds began to regenerate slowly, while the fusion happens inside the bodies of Liu Yang and Liu Xia, their cultivation was also slowly increasing.

One of the surprising things that were happening was that Liu Yang was getting a lot more medicinal fluid than Liu Xia. If the two have always tried to keep the cultivation level at the same level, why would this be happening? Liu Yang should not receive more resources than Liu Xia.

The scene that is happening is considered the biggest secret of the couple, apart from both, only Nightshade knew what was happening, that was the reason for her to accept helping Liu Yang and Liu Xia.

If this secret were discovered by the world, a world war would begin.

…

While Liu Yang and Liu Xia were enduring pain. We will be back two days ago.

Xiao Mei and Song Jia arrived in the capital of China, Beijing. After a few hours of flight, they finally arrived. The two girls have already come to the capital a few times, so they were not surprised to see the city.

When they arrived at the airport, a person was already waiting for them. She was a middle-aged woman and was holding a sign with the names of Xiao Mei and Song Jia, she was the one sent from the main clan.

"Young miss, it is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Xuan Hua, a member of the Xuan clan, my clan is subordinate to the Xiao clan. I'm glad you've arrived. The car is ready to go. "The middle-aged woman introduced herself.

"It is a pleasure to meet you too. I am Xiao Mei and she is Song Jia "The two girls introduced themselves courteously.

"Young miss, can we go?" Xuan Hua was calling Xiao Mei a young miss because the person she serves asked Xiao Mei to be treated with a lot of courtesy.

"Yes. Show the way "

The trio started walking towards the car in the parking lot. Xuan Hua took the two girls to the main mansion somewhere in the capital.

The little trip took almost an hour.

The main clan's mansion was extremely large, but compared to the territory of the five great clans, the Xiao clan was still small. Beijing was divided into several different locations, each location belonging to a different clan.

At the entrance to the hand was a large wooden plaque with the word "Xiao" written on it.
