Su Yun felt a bit puzzled. In the original work, Xiao Yan checked his attributes at the Xiao family's Dou Qi Pavilion.
Being a commoner, he didn't have the means to check his own attributes.
In his moment of dilemma, Su Yun thought of the system.
"Why not give it a try?" Su Yun was a man of action.
"System, scan myself," Su Yun thought to himself.
"Ding, scan successful."

"System, display the attributes of Dou Qi," Su Yun thought again.
"Ding, attribute display complete."

"Well, that's interesting," Su Yun marveled at the different information displayed compared to before.
It seemed that some information on this system panel still needed to be triggered by himself.
"Fire, ice, and even wood attributes..."
"That means I meet the conditions to become an alchemist!"
Su Yun felt a hint of excitement.
Although he could use the system to synthesize pills, each synthesis required a corresponding grade of magic core. Low-grade pills were fine, but when it came to higher grades...
Su Yun shook his head at the thought. Since he met the conditions to become an alchemist and had the memories of Yao Lao as a backup, it was necessary for him to refine pills himself.
Although the system's fusion function was indeed amazing, the cost was too high.
With this in mind, Su Yun shifted his gaze to his ice attribute.
In the Dou Qi Continent, a person's attributes depend on their soul. A soul only possesses one attribute, and generally, there wouldn't be other attributes within it.
Of course, there were exceptions. Among billions of people, there were always some whose souls mutated. These people with mutated souls would have two different attributes, one strong and one weak. Alchemists were a good example.
And according to the display on the system, he actually had three attributes.
Su Yun was familiar with the original work and knew that Feng Qing'er had a situation similar to his own.
But his situation was even more special.
Feng Qing'er had wind and thunder, two non-restrictive dual attributes, while he had conflicting fire and ice attributes, not to mention the wood attribute.
But speaking of which, fire and wood were also conflicting. There shouldn't be a problem with incompatible attributes, right...
After all, every alchemist had fire and wood dual attributes. It's just that the wood attribute was almost negligible.
That's the choice of this technique...
Su Yun felt a headache.
Originally, he planned to cultivate "Burning Decision" if it was a fire attribute, and if it was another attribute, he would choose the highest grade to cultivate.
Who knew he also had an ice attribute...
"Speaking of which, can I merge 'Burning Decision' with other ice attribute techniques?"
Su Yun's mind opened up, and then his eyes lit up. He could try, anyway, the technique wouldn't disappear.
Then, he touched "Burning Decision" and then the lowest-grade ice attribute technique "Nine Nether Frost Frost Decision" in Yao Lao's collection.
Then he activated the system's fusion function again.
"Ding, a fusionable solution has been detected. Would you like to spend a fifth-grade magic core to merge?"
"Fifth grade!" Su Yun's eyes almost bulged out.
A fifth-grade magic core! How could someone who had never even seen a third-grade magic core handle this!
But Su Yun didn't get discouraged. Since a fusionable solution appeared, it meant that this path was feasible.
Su Yun tried to merge the low-grade ice attribute technique with "Burning Decision."
"Ding, a fusionable solution has been detected. Would you like to spend a first-grade magic core to merge?"
"First grade..."
Su Yun tried again.
He tried to merge the middle-grade ice attribute.
"Ding, a fusionable solution has been detected. Would you like to spend a first-grade magic core to merge?"
"It's still first grade..."
Su Yun was stunned.
He searched for techniques in Yao Lao's memories again.
This time it was the high-grade ones.
"Ding, a fusionable solution has been detected. Would you like to spend a second-grade magic core to merge?"
Su Yun heard the prompt from the system and didn't stop, then tried to merge the low-grade ice attribute technique with "Burning Decision."
"Ding, a fusionable solution has been detected. Would you like to spend a third-grade magic core to merge?"
"Third grade..."
Su Yun stopped trying.
Although he hadn't figured out the system's requirements for merging techniques, there was no point in trying.
He only had a second-grade magic core at most now, so understanding it wouldn't help.
It wouldn't be too late to try again when he had higher-grade magic cores in the future.
"Merge," Su Yun silently thought.
"Ding, fusion complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-grade technique."
Su Yun felt a strange fluctuation in his mind.
Shaking his head, he immersed his mind in his mind.
"Is this the new technique?"
After a while, Su Yun frowned. This new technique didn't quite meet his expectations.
This new technique retained the function of "Burning Decision" to absorb strange fire and evolve, and it also had both fire and ice attributes.
However, the fire and ice dual attributes didn't mean that he could have dual-attribute Dou Qi like Feng Qing'er in the original work, with both wind and thunder attributes merged, which could greatly increase one's combat power.
While this new technique had both fire and ice attributes, it only allowed him to use fire and ice Dou Qi separately, rather than merging them.
Although it allowed for versatile and flexible combat methods, it still didn't meet Su Yun's expectations.
"Well, it's not bad," Su Yun comforted himself.
He had assumed too much.
In the Dou Qi Continent, practitioners with dual attributes were undoubtedly rare, with only Feng Qing'er appearing in the original work.
This new technique not only had both fire and ice attributes but also retained the function of "Burning Decision" to absorb strange fire and evolve. It was already a top-tier technique among top-tier ones.
"According to the description in the original work, 'Burning Decision' seems to be able to surpass its grade like 'Eight Extremities Collapse'..."
Su Yun fell into contemplation.
Yao Lao had evaluated "Burning Decision" when it was still a low-grade technique for Xiao Yan, saying that its uniqueness could rival mid-grade techniques.
And later, when "Burning Decision" absorbed the Purple Fire and evolved into a mid-grade technique, it was once again evaluated as being able to rival high-grade techniques.
This new technique also possessed such transcendent properties.
It could rival low-grade techniques.
Thinking about it, Su Yun felt satisfied.
In the Dou Qi Continent, techniques and combat skills that could surpass their grades were exceedingly rare.
Equivalent to low-grade techniques, in this Wu Tan City, they were already close to the ceiling. Among the three major families, only the Xiao family's "Mad Rage Anger" was a mid-grade technique, while
the other two major families only had low-grade techniques.
"Wait, what if I could use this technique to absorb the Bone Cold Fire?"
Su Yun's eyes lit up.
It was entirely possible for the Bone Cold Fire to solve the problem of his ice and fire attribute Dou Qi!
With both the characteristics of fire and the cold of ice, it was feasible!
The more Su Yun thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
Yao Lao was indeed a treasure trove!
"Hehe, looks like I'm going to fleece the sheep again."
Su Yun grinned.
"Let's give it a name first."
"Since it has both fire and ice attributes, hmm...
Let's call it 'Burning Cold Decision.'"
