[Type: Skill(Passive)]

...

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.

After checking the Medicine Monument with his True Ashen's Eyes, Baek Ain discovered a piece of Living Spirit inside and decided to ignore it for now.

It's probably Yao Clan's Ancestors' spirit, slumbering until a great danger appears in the Yao Realm.

If only Fan Gu did the same thing.

What a pity.

Baek Ain shook his head and flew away to Yao Ling'er mountain peak with Qing Lin. Of course, he also spread some parasites' spawns in this area as his disciple ran her errand immediately.

Meanwhile, Baek Ain sat down and checked the journal with his Spiritual Strength. An explosion of information occurred in Baek Ain's mind as he frowned deeply.

Rubbing his forehead, Baek Ain sighed, "Fuck, that was too much information in one sitting."

"I should have digested it slowly."

Activating Parallel Thinking, Baek Ain sorted the information from Ten Thousand Medicine Records and nodded in satisfaction because its content was "exactly." what he needed.

Throwing the book back into the inventory, Baek Ain grabbed a piece of paper and started writing some pill recipes from the Ten Thousand Medicine Records.

He used his Spiritual Strength to carve the words, meaning only 9th Tier Alchemist could see this pill recipe.

"Brother Lin!" Yao Dan arrived at the mountain peak with Yao Ling'er.

"Do you need something?"

"I discovered a few things in the Medicine Monument. I believed the Yao Clan needed to know about this." Baek Ain waved his hand casually and handed the paper to Yao Dan, causing the latter to get confused.

Yao Dan looked at the paper and examined it, finding a rich Spiritual Strength in it. "This is..."

"Just check it, Chief Dan."

Yao Dan pried into the paper with his Spiritual Strength and was stunned, speechless, and possibly shaken to his very core.

He couldn't believe himself for a moment.

His hand was trembling, looking at the piece of paper like it was the greatest treasure of the Yao Clan.

Well, it is one of the Yao Clan's greatest treasures.

"Nine Stage Cleansing Pill, Deep Beast Bone Marrow's Strengthening Pill, Glass Heart Pill, Nirvana Mind Pill, and lastly... The Legendary 13th Moon Gazing Pill."

"These recipes should be gone for a long time. Our current Ten Thousand Medicine Record is only 28% of the original..."

"How did you get it?" Yao Dan stared at Baek Ain with a complicated gaze.

Baek Ain didn't make a fuss and answered, "I got them from the Medicine Monument."

"And before you ask if there are more, some recipes I got were incomplete."

"How about adding them to my previous bet of Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pill? I still want to challenge your Yao Clan, after all."

"Very well." Yao Dan calmed down and pondered a bit before nodding.

"However, if Yao Clan lost, we still want to purchase the recipe of Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pill and other incomplete recipes."

"We'd even add three Dou Saint's Grade Artifacts into your bag." He added with a smile.

"Mm, I hope this cooperation continues without a problem." Baek Ain returned politely.

Yao Dan carefreely laughed and answered, "Haha, I hope so too, Brother Lin."

"Then, I'd not disturb you anymore."

Yao Dan walked away and patted Yao Ling'er shoulders, "Good job, learn well under Brother Lin's teachings."

"Yes, Clan Chief." Yao Ling'er nodded in understanding. She was still shocked that her teacher could decipher pill recipes from the Medicine Monument.

The Yao Clan has stood for so long. And they barely deciphered over a quarter of Ten Thousand Medicine Records.

Even without Yao Dan reminding her, Yao Ling'er will try her best to learn from Baek Ain.

Unknown to them, the Yao Clan would fall to someone's hand in merely a week. Baek Ain has spread several parasites' infants in Yao Realm, making them enter Yao Clan's members.

The weaker members have long succumbed to his control, while the stronger ones will soon follow.

They still have their thoughts and feelings as Baek Ain wasn't so cruel, but their fate is "tightly." sealed.

"Ling'er, come. I'll teach you a Spiritual-Type Dou Technique." Baek Ain said while tapping the chair beside him.

Yao Ling'er eyes lit up as she hurriedly sat on the seat.

Baek Ain's Spiritual Strength manifested as two scrolls of pure energy appeared.

"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.
