...
Baek Ain looked at his reward with astonishment, especially for the first two things.
Even though Baek Ain was 9th Tier Alchemist, his foundation is firm thanks to Yao Men's rich memories and knowledge. However, he also knew he was "really." lacking pill recipes and theories because Yao Men's memory is incomplete.
Yao Men is a Half-Saint Expert, so his knowledge couldn't compare to this Ten Thousand Medicine Record. He was an alchemy genius, but aged monsters like Yao Clan's Ancestors are just too much of a comparison.
Baek Ain reached the 9th Tier Alchemist Level because of his endless research. What can he do? Alchemy is just too valuable of a skill.
It would be a waste not mastering it.
[Ding! Two similar skills detected!]
[Do you want to Synthesize them?]
"Well, yes."
[Synthesizing...]
[Ding! You have received Alchemist Instinct(SS+)]
Baek Ain closed his eyes and felt every problem he knew about Eastern Alchemy had cleared. He could even create the God-Breaking Pill without many issues now.
As for the ingredient of the God-Breaking Pill and its method, Baek Ain glanced at his inventory in anticipation. He hoped the Ten Thousand Medicine Record had such information.
Baek Ain wanted to check the content of Ten Thousand Medicine Records but looked at people in his surroundings. It wasn't possible as the Medicine Monument is a daily cultivation area for the Yao Clan.
By standing Yao Ling'er alone, Baek Ain caught so much attention in a few seconds.
"Hmm, what a long ass name for a Heavenly Flame..." Baek Ain commented when checking the new fire in his inventory.
"I'll call it the Golden Wind Flame from now on."
Yao Ling'er tilted her head and asked, "Pardon?"
Baek Ain coughed, "It's nothing."
"I gained some insight after looking at the Medicine Monument. Can you call Clan Chief Yao Dan when we return?"
"Oh, okay." Yao Ling'er nodded attentively.
"The first scroll is a Dou Technique called Heart Separation Control."
"It's a Low Earth-Grade Technique. It strengthens one's Spiritual Controls and allows wide-range multitasking as you master it."
"And the second scroll is a Dou Technique called Three United Minds."
"It's a High Earth-Grade Technique, allowing someone to create two copies of one's mind and increasing one's thought process. However, there is a risk of developing multiple personalities as your copies aren't united enough."
"Choose."
Yao Ling'er was quiet, thinking about it like life-determining options.
Baek Ain observed her and waited patiently.
After a few minutes, Yao Ling'er opened her mouth and said, "Can I take both?"
"The reason is?" Baek Ain smiled mysteriously.
Yao Ling'er took a deep breath and answered, "Two techniques are so powerful, but they have their weaknesses. I've watched the teacher's quick thinking and intuition when helping me make the Yin Yang Cleansing Pill."
"I believe these two techniques are "actually." made to complement each other!"
Baek Ain chuckled, "Good, you're not as stupid as I expected."
Yao Ling'er couldn't refute his words.
Unfortunately for Yao Ling'er, these two techniques just disguised his parasites' minds to come into existence. The one inside Yao Ling'er is still slumbering and absorbing her energy to grow.
After cultivating the techniques, Yao Ling'er would create copies of her mind, but it was parasites. She'd believe it was her.
"Here, take them." Baek Ain placed his finger on Yao Ling'er forehead and transferred the technique. "Tell me when you're reaching the first stage."
Waving his sleeve, Baek Ain disappeared from the front house and entered his room.
Yao Ling'er bowed, even after Baek Ain was gone, and said, "Thank you, teacher."
Poor girl, she doesn't know Baek Ain's scheme at all.
...
Baek Ain created arrays to seal the aura and noise he was about to make in his room. He opened his inventory and pulled a blazing golden flame with a wisp of greenness.
He summoned Gnome and said, "Take this."
Gnome looked at the blazing golden flame with a salivating mouth and ate it in one swoop. The little creature spasmed and burped, releasing a wave of fiery wind storm.
[Gnome has become stronger!]
Gnome patted its stomach and rubbed it gently, giving Baek Ain a satisfied yet loving gaze.
"You little foodie." Baek Ain shook his head helplessly.
Gnome suddenly stood up and gathered a small tinder in its hand, creating this abstract-looking multi-colored crystal.
The adorable creature created multiple of this abstract-looking crystal and tossed them on the floor.
"Hmm?"
[Name: Golden Wind Flame's Gem]
[Type: Material]
[Grade: SS+]
[Description: A gem created by Gnome's new ability, containing Golden Wind Flame's characteristic and energy]
"Oh?" Baek Ain tried to pry more about this ability.
[Ding!]
[Gem Creation: Gnome can create a gem from the rapid burning of energy and Earth's Element Origin within its body. Each will gain the quality of the flame Gnome had assimilated]
"..." Baek Ain was stunned.
"I don't have to worry about materials anymore."
Baek Ain laughed and equipped Cross Tails, thinking about an accessory for Qing Lin and his new weapon: Roc's Spine.
"Gnome, can you create more gems?"
"OwO!!" Gnome nodded adorably.
