Tang Yin was amazed by these interesting statistics.
A Fire Bear Emperor, this is a very good Spiritual Weapon among the Fire-type. Although it cannot be compared to a Supreme Weapon, such as a Fire Phoenix (for example) but, for Alchemy, this is one of the top 5.
Mostly it is because Emperor Bears are very versatile. They have the ability to learn a lot, and their Spirit Weapon, when associated with Fire and coupled with an Alchemical Fire of Earth Grade or higher, can make the Alchemist highly versatile to create several Pills at the same time.
Undoubtedly, it is a good Spiritual Weapon.
After that, he looked at the rest of the stats and was amazed by the Cultivation Realm.
'She's dangerous, eh... Spirit King Realm, this girl gives me a blow and sends me to sleep for eternity...' He thought and willed himself not to make any kind of move on her. It is better to treat her with respect, now his strength is nil, and she is too far away from him.
Even if he does his best with all the preparations, he still wouldn't be able to assassinate her even if she is asleep. Right now, he is too weak.
'Shit, I didn't have to say that at the beginning...' He thought as he remembered what he said at the beginning for a moment he got nervous.
But what was said, was said, and he couldn't change it.
Besides, from what he could see, she seemed to be being friendly.
'It's a good thing she has doubts about what I said...' He thought.
'A 3 Star Heaven Grade Alchemist, huh...' After reading that part and reading what it said 'Beauty 9.5/10' he smiled.
He wondered how many points his wives could get in this beauty score made by the System; they were even more beautiful than this beauty in front of him.
Xie Meiyu looked somewhat confused at Tang Yin because he was looking at her a lot without saying anything, but after a moment she cleared her throat.
She was the one who should speak, she thought.
--"Young Master Tang Yin, it's nice to meet you, I was told you were selling Ancient Spiritual Bamboo, so I came here, but, before that, are you an Alchemist?" she asked, and her beautiful voice brought Tang Yin out of his thoughts.
He then looked into her eyes, trying to get as much information from her.
He had said those words a while ago because he had smelled the scent of pills on her. She was trying to mix Fire Spiritual Herbs with Ancient Spiritual Bamboo, this brought out his alchemical instinct, and he blurted that out without thinking, but it was good for him.
Tang Yin just shrugged his shoulders.
--"I think Miss Xie can already see that I have no cultivation." Tang Yin said, and she smiled beautifully and nodded.
--"I can see that you are hurt, Young Master Tang." She said, and Tang Yin nodded.
--"Yes, my enemies crippled me to prevent me from being able to master the continent through Alchemy." Tang Yin replied calmly and spoke as if what he said was true.
Xie Meiyu was surprised to hear this and began to laugh, but her laughter was so beautiful that Tang Yin had to give her several more good points.
--"Hehehe, Young Master Tang sure is a joker. Saying that in front of another person from the Association, might put him in a tight spot, so I don't recommend him to do that." She said, and Tang Yin nodded.
He knew that too.
--"Well, it seems that if I say it in front of Miss Xie that's not a problem, so that pleases me. Her cultivation already puts her at the top of this city if you don't mind, then that's for the best." Tang Yin replied, and Xie Meiyu was a little surprised and stopped laughing to stare at him.
--"It seems that Young Master's previous cultivation was really high." She said in surprise.
'He's only about 20 years old, how come he can see through my cultivation?' She thought in awe of Tang Yin's ability, but the latter only shrugged his shoulders.
--"Didn't you want to ask me about what I said just now, Miss Xie?" he said calmly, diverting the topic of conversation.
She then understood that he did not want to talk about it, so she did not insist on it.
Everyone had their secrets, and as long as Tang Yin's secrets didn't harm her or her Alchemist Association, then all was well and good, so she nodded.
--"Young Master, what you say, seems to go a bit against the alchemical beliefs of the continent. The Ancient Spirit Bamboo, being of the green plant type, certainly does not mix very well with the Fire Spirit Herbs, but, when the Spirit Herb in question is a '3 Fire Flower' and is mixed with a stalk of Flaming Frost Flower, both can suppress the Ancient Spirit Bamboo and a Low-Rank Spirit Grade Pill can be created. I have seen how this Pill is created." She spoke.
Tang Yin shrugged again with a somewhat mocking smile that she couldn't see.
--"It's all right what you say, Miss Xie. That's where the Two-Color Flaming Pill comes from. But, have you ever wondered why this pill has such a low probability of coming out? Also, why do you think you couldn't create it?" Tang Yin said, he first revealed the pill being created from that combination and then asked two questions, which, of course, were questions Xie Meiyu had asked herself before.
Why is this pill one of the pills that has the lowest chance of coming out, among the pills? And why hasn't she been able to create it? These are questions she asks herself every night as she tries her best to create them.
But she still can't figure it out.
Tang Yin knew if she could understand, she wouldn't keep trying to create that failed recipe.
In fact, he was surprised that the alchemical knowledge on this continent was so low.
--"It's simple, it's because that's a failed recipe. You may come to think that you don't have enough fire control ability, you may come to think that it is because your control over your own fire is poor or your cultivation is low. You may come to find many mistakes in you and try to correct them, this will make you improve of course and the time will come when you will be able to these materials to form the pill by force, but the truth is, you don't fail at any of that. Your fire control should be fine, your cultivation is more than enough. The problem is that your recipe is wrong." Tang Yin said firmly, but then he took out a bamboo again and some of the ointment he had made earlier.
--"Do you know what happens when you mix some fire particles together with other minor herbs? Even without cultivation, look what happens when you put it in contact with ancient spiritual bamboo..." Tang Yin said and grabbed some ointment, smeared it on the thin surface of the table, and then passed the Bamboo around.
This, of course, cracked with some effort and split as if it was being cut by a thin sharp sword.
This astonished Xie Meiyu. She had never seen anything like this!
But Tang Yin didn't give her time to be amazed, and quickly began to explain a few things.
--"Fire Herbs, Fire Powder or other types of Fire that are not natural fire, is the main 'ingredient' to counteract the Ancient Spiritual Bamboo, but it is not because the Ancient Spiritual Bamboo can suppress it, it is because the Ancient Spiritual Bamboo is afraid of it. The nature of the Bamboo when it is alive, it is not afraid of fire, but it is afraid of Fire Herbs or other similar things. That's why it can cut it so easily, naturally, the Ancient Spiritual Bamboo has no defense against Fire Herbs." Tang Yin said with a smile.
She was shocked by this, too shocked.
It was the first time she heard of and seen such a thing. She never thought there was anything like that, but why was it so? Tang Yin noticed the question in her mind, so before she could ask, he answered.
--"Do you want to know why? It's easy, Spirit Bamboo, no matter how many years of 'cultivation' it has as a Passive Beast, will always be a child. And plant-spirit-children are naturally afraid of fire. That's the reason, it's silly, but it's the nature of spiritual bamboo." Tang Yin said with a smile as he looked at the bamboo.
The 'being' who told him this...
It was a spirit bamboo spirit itself, the only spirit bamboo spirit he has ever seen in his life. Belonging to the Alchemical Queen of his generation.
Xie Meiyu was becoming more and more stunned by this, but she still had a question.
Even though she had heard everything right, what did that have to do with the pill not being created? She thought, and she couldn't hold it in and asked.
Hearing the question, Tang Yin felt stunned for a moment...
