I'm sitting on a hidden island inside the snake man kingdom. Floating in front of me is the Lotus core flame. It's a brilliant green color and the flames kind of look like flower petals.
"So what exactly where you plans for the flame." I ask Medusa whose real name is Cai Lin.
"I was just going to eat a bunch of rare herbs and then try to swallow it." She admits.
I just rub my forehead and sigh.
"Well that would probably result in your death or some damage to your cultivation on a major level." I inform her as she pulls out a bunch of rare plants showing me. They were ice based plants to help tone down the heavenly flames. This flame wasn't as high up on the heavenly flame list as the ghostly flames but it was still ranked 19th.
i reached my hand forward and grabbed the flaming green lotus before absorbing it. Some system notifications went off and most of my plants in the kingdom would receive benefits from this flame.
Cai Lin looks on sadly at the flame as it was a great chance to get her human body.
"Don't worry, You think I'd just take the flame and not help you out?" I ask the pouting beauty.
"How are you going to help out?" She asks me curiously.
"Well let's go talk to someone and see what I need." I grab her hand before popping into the kingdom library near a white haired ghost.
"Yo Yao Lao how's the potions study going?" I ask the Man-Ghost.
"This is rather different than what I'm used to but just as magical it's like a who new view on alchemy." He says still looking at the potions book.
"Anyway I need some information and for you to make something." I tell the man as he finally looks up.
"Sure what do you need?" I scoot the snake woman in front of me. "I need a transformation style pill for snake people what would you suggest?" I ask.
"Well there's a body transformation pill ment for things like this. It comes at 3 levels which have different success rates. tier 5 has about a 15% success rate then tier 7 has 40% chance and then tier 9 has 90% success rate it could be 100% if perfectly made with the perfect materials and a master alchemist with a heavenly flame." he adds.
"So you can pull it off?" I asked.
"If I had my body yes but as of right now I'd struggle with high tier pills." he admits.
I think for a moment before doing some hand signs. A giant white head with purple ringed eyes pops out and swallows the soul before i do a few more handsigns and a naked 20yo or so man is spit out from the head.
"I've restored your body and your youth so tell me what ingredients you need also put on some pants." I toss him some clothes as he examines his body.
"How did you do that?!" he asked in shock and confusion.
"Well I'm close to a god of death my divinity is getting there however I'm sorely lacking in the aspect of life and it's preventing me from gaining the divinity I'm working on it." I admit.
Without life there can be no death just like without creation there can be no destruction. You guys may think hades had a divinity related to death that wasn't true he was kind of just like a gate keeper and watched over the dead. Being the master of death also doesn't grant me the death divinity. just like if I was the master of zues I wouldn't suddenly gain lightning divinity. there's some stuff in there like the fine print, I'm working on it.
"I can make the stuff you need however I'd need materials and to get used to this body again it's been a very long time since I've had a body." he says flexing his fingers before grabbing a pen and paper and clumsily writing down items I'd need to get him.
I look the list over and the name of the pill before buying all the stuff from the system and tossing it on the table I also buy a full 100% pill. tossing it into Cai lins shocked mouth.
Your all probably thinking Ryan why don't you just buy the pill and put it into the gate so it replenishes. Well if you all remember I have to have the items physically made and can't use the system items to restore things like an infinite cheat. the gate of Babylon is linked to my soul which is linked to my kingdom it runs on the same basis.
So say if I bought a pill from the system and threw it into the gate I'd have that singular pill. So if I used it it would be gone. We can't cheat the system by infinitly making the same pill and selling it. No, if we sell the pill that's it it's gone. This only applies for system based items.
Now if Yao Lao who by the way is a tier 9 alchemist the top of the world. Makes me the pill then I put it into the gate it will replenish, However this also takes time the gate doesn't automatically restore the item.
This also applies to weapons and items. I get an auto fix option for weapons and that's about it. Now this applies to all potions foods and consumables if I buy them in the real world it works. if not then that's it. This applies to smiting materials as well since I've never found adamantite or vibranium I have to buy it everytime I need to use it. I have basic metals that do however replenish. Just so you guys know.
it was an odd sight watching the giant snake tail slowly morph into human legs I had to quickly pull a dress over her to make sure her private bits where properly covered.
The effect was fast and I had to help hold her up as she couldn't walk properly yet.
"Well whenever you get your body functions back in order you can make some pills or whatever." I tell the white haired young man.
He's happily testing out his hands and limbs checking everything over. "Sure sure."
