Kapitel 106: God of Alchemy

When Bai Yun came to, he found himself standing in a large room. In front of him were dozens of rows of plants and medicinal herbs. Barely had Bai Yun found his footing when a voice sounded out inside the hall.

"You have to identify every plant and medical ingredient in this room and write three uses for each of them. Some of them are made by grafting various plants. You need to identify each plant that makes up the drafted plant. The answers should be written into the jade placed in front of the plant. You have half an hour. The more materials you identify, the higher your final score will be."

Ba Yun took a look around the hall after he heard this. He saw that there were hundreds of plants in this hall. And among them, Bai Yun recognized maybe five of them. And if he was asked to identify them, Bai Yun would not be able to do so. This was only the first test, and Bai Yun had already failed miserably.

"Uncle Qin, I know you can hear me. Its Little Tian. Long Tian. I need your help. Would you come out and see me." Bai Yun shouted.

But even after he shouted there was no change in the air. Bai Yun stared ahead for a while. He then smiled lightly. He knew that if the God of Alchemy had left behind a soul portion in his legacy site he would be able to communicate with hi. If he hadn't, well then he was out of luck. So Bai Yun decided to continue and test his luck.

"You know I can prove who I am." Bai Yun continued. "You were there on the day I tried to condense the nameless star. You saved my life that day."

Bai Yun then continued to tell stories about the two of them, and the times that they had met. But even after ten minutes, there was no response from the God of Alchemy.

Bai Yun sighed. "I was hoping it wouldn't come to this." Bai Yun said. "You know there is a story I know about you that I have kept hidden. This is a story that maybe you wouldn't mind if I told everyone. There was a day when you came to our mansion when father was out in order to meet mother. You had come in order to the infinitude heavenly thought technique. But mom wouldn't hand it over. So you did something."

Bai Yun stood and stared for a while. Not seeing any reaction, he continued.

"You know I can tell this story to everyone in the outside world." Bai Yu said. "So should I continue or-"

Just as he was about to continue a sigh rang through the hall. Then the entire hall started to transform and slowly fade. "There's no need to go any further, I believe you." Then the voice rang out one more time.

Bai Yun stood there and watched as the hall slowly disappeared. After a moment the entire hall changed into a small room. Of course, it was only small from the perspective of the earlier hall. It was over a hundred meters in each of the three directions. There was a small table in the center of the room, and a young man was sitting at the table. He glanced at Bai Yun as he appeared in the good.

"It's been a while uncle Qin." Bai Yun greeted the God of Alchemy.

"You were such a good kid." The God of Alchemy said. "Now you have even learned to blackmail people. What happened? How did you come in here? Why did your looks change? And why is your cultivation base so low?"

"It's a long story." Bai Yun said as he sat down opposite to the God of Alchemy. Bai Yun then spend the next half an hour explaining what happened to him. The God of Alchemy was quite surprised that Bai Yun was able to kill the devil emperor. This piece of the God of Alchemy was from just before the final battle and knew the strength of the devil emperor well.

He was also surprised by the fact that Bai Yun had managed to reincarnate. After Bai Yun explained everything that had happened to him since his reincarnation as well as the reason he came to find the God of Alchemy, he fell silent.

The God of Alchemy stared at Bai Yun for a while. Just as Bai Yun was wondering what he was going t do, the God of Alchemy finally asked him "What are you going to do with your life?"

Bai Yun was confused by the question. He stared at the God of Alchemy questioningly before answering "Just live normally I guess. Cultivate and become a titled god once again."

"Don't you have any other desires?" The God of Alchemy asked.

"What else is there?" Bai Yun replied.

"Let me ask you in another way. In your entire life other than fighting and training what have you done." the God of Alchemy asked.

Bai Yun was confused by the question. "What else is there?"

The God of Alchemy was exasperated with his answer.

"I meant have you ever loved." The God of Alchemy asked. "Have you ever lost anything. Have you ever wanted to desperately hold on to something, yet had to watch as it slipped through your fingers."

"No." Bai Yun said. "But why does it matter? All of that sounds quite horrible. Shouldn't you try to avoid such incidents?"

"You said that the people who are your family in this life have less experience than you." The God of Alchemy said. "But that is only with respect to your fighting experience. When it comes to life I am sure that they have much greater experience than you. That is why you should listen to them and not be dismissive as you currently are."

"You were born with the greatest talent in history as the son of some of the greatest and strongest people in the universe." the God of Alchemy continued. "In many ways, it gave you an advantage in life and a great outlook on the world. But in many ways, it also restricted your path. Unlike some, I never believed that you would be able to reach the titled god level without experiencing life. And I was right. You only managed to break through after you felt the pain of loss. I think that this life will help you a lot. I think you will go much farther than you could in your past life."

Bai Yun stared at the God of Alchemy for a while. He did not know what to say.

"It's fine. let's talk about happier things." The God of Alchemy said. "How far do you intend to go on the Alchemy path."

"I intend to go the distance." Bai Yun said. "This time I intend to reach the titled god level in Alchemy. Alongside the titled god level in other paths also."

"Then do you know what is the important thing in reaching titled god realm for the Alchemy path." The god of alchemy aked.

"I know that you need to master a technique, but I don't know which one." Bai Yun replied.

"True." The god of alchemy explained. "The thing is to become a god realm alchemist you not only need to master the relevant knowledge and recipes, but you also need to master the skill of perfect concoction. In perfect concoction, the entire medical effect of the pill is used and it is no longer able to distinguish its components from the final pill. But I have recorded perfect concoction in the legacy. You can study it in detail later."

"But the path to a titled god requires you to master creating something out of nothing." The God of Alchemy continued. "Most importantly this skill is done differently for each person. So I haven't put any explanation about it in the legacy. Even if I did, it wouldn't be of any help as it is impossible for you to understand my experience. You will have to reach that level on your own. So what I am going to do is to explain to you what it means. You may not understand it right now. Just remember everything I say."

Then the God of Alchemy spend the next hour explaining the key points regarding the final level of Alchemy. Bai Yun sat patiently and remembered every word he heard.

"Alright. That is that. I'll give you my legacy now." The God of Alchemy finally said.

Then the God of Alchemy slowly raised his hand. There a small cauldron appeared. This was the highest level legacy reward of the Alchemy path, Then the God of Alchemy slowly started to modify the contents of the legacy. The legacy was originally geared towards those at the dao step who had a great foundation in the alchemy path. But Bai Yun did not have it. So he needed to change the legacy in order to make it so that he would be able to accept it without any faults.

As time passed the small cauldron became more and more perfect. Complex patterns started to appear on it. At the same time, the God of Alchemie's soul incarnation started to become more and more transparent and fainter.

"Uncle Qin, what are you doing?" Bai Yun asked after seeing that something was wrong.

"I am not just adding the knowledge that you require. I am also adding my experience, my failures, and everything else that I have ever done in the alchemy path. This will make it easier for you to comprehend the alchemy path." God of Alchemy explained.

"But that is the same as putting a part of your soul into the legacy. This will cause your soul incarnation to become destabilized. You would die!"

The God of Alchemy laughed when he heard this. "What do you mean I would die." He asked. "I am already dead. All that is left of me is a soul incantation that cannot leave this legacy site. It doesn't matter if I exist or not. The important thing is that it will help you grow."

"Why is that important? Besides I don't need your help in rowing." Bai Yun replied.

The God of Alchemy only smiled. "You might have reached the titled god realm, but there are many things about this world that you don't know. Things that were hidden especially from you. If you want to know the truth about yourself, then you should find that crazy old man. Only he can truly explain the reasons for your existence."

Bai Yun was stunned when he heard this. He did not understand what the God of Alchemy was talking about. Was there some sort of secret behind his birth.

While Bai Yun stood there confused, the God of Alchemy had finished his task. A small exquisitely crafted cauldron stood in the center of his palm. It was slowly rotating while giving off a divine glow.

But the God of Alchemy also had to pay a certain price for it. The lower half of his body had disappeared, while the top half was mostly transparent by now. He was flickering like a candle in the wind.

"Quickly take it. I won't be able to hold it for much longer. Once I disappear, you will have to properly pass the trials in order to get it." The God of Alchemy said.

Bai Yun awoke from his stupor immediately. He looked at the God of Alchemy with a complex look in his eyes. He then stood up and kowtowed before the God of Alchemy before walking up to him and reaching out to the small cauldron without a word.

The moment Bai Yun's hands touched the cauldron, it melted as it passed through his body into the middle of his forehead. As Bai Yun stood there, he slowly let himself go and allowed the force of the legacy site to take him out of the dao repository.

The God of Alchemy watched as Bai Yun slowly disappeared. The surroundings also became dark and he also started to fade away. He then spoke aloud as if to no one.

"Old man I think you were wrong at that time. I think the reason this brat was born is just beginning."


Kapitel 107: New eyes

Bai Yun returned to his consciousness. He had received the method for detoxifying Bai Ling-er from the God of Alchemy. Bai Yun took a look at his sea of consciousness. There, right next to the dagger he had received from the Assassin God, was a small and exquisite cauldron.

Bai Yun stared at the small cauldron. As he looked at it a complex feeling arose in his heart. He could tell from the final words of the God of Alchemy that there seemed to be a secret about his birth. A secret held specifically from him.

But Bai Yun decided to forget it. He would know it when the time is right.

With a sigh Bai Yun opened his eyes and stood up. But a moment later Bai Yun felt that there was something wrong. Even though he had opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything.

Bai Yun was stunned when he realized this. Just as he was wondering what was happening, a itchy feeling came from his eyes. Bai Yun touched his eyes, only to feel a liquid like substance stick to his fingers.

Suddenly the itch like feeling transformed into a biting pain. In seconds the pain shot up to levels Bai Yun had never felt before. Even with his incredible resistance, Bai Yun was unable to contain the pain. It was the most severe pain he had ever felt in his entire life.

Unable to withstand the pain Bai Yun finally screamed out loud.

A moment later the door to the room opened up and the man that came with Bai Tianji rushed in. "What is going on?" He shouted out, but he stopped as soon as he entered. The moment he saw the sight inside the room he was stunned.

Bai Yun was sitting in the middle of the room kneeled over. He was clutching at his eyes. But from between his fingers a black liquid was oozing out. With horror the old man realized that the black liquid was Bai Yun's eyes!

The old man came to Bai Yun's side and touched his shoulder and said "Let me take a look."

But before he could say anything else, a horrifying force came out of Bai Yun's body and pushed the old man away. The old man flew through the air and crashed through a few walls of the mansion before he came to a stop. When the old man stabilized himself, he was stunned. He had an extremely high cultivation base and yet he had been sent flying by Bai Yun. Not only that, when he looked down at his hand, but he also realized that his palm had been burned back.

He looked back at Bai Yun and got the second shock of the day. Bai Yun was no longer screaming. But he was floating in the middle of the room. A giant purple and gold colored sphere was rapidly rotating around him. The ceiling and the floor that was inside the sphere had long since disappeared. Thankfully the rooms in the mansion were all very large. Else the entire room would have been destroyed.

The old man quickly ran up to the sphere and gently tried to press on to the sphere, but realized that it would not budge. Not only that, but his hand was also signed by the power.

But the situation did not last for long. In front of his eyes, the purple and gold sphere slowly started to contract. As he watched, the purple and gold colored sphere rapidly contract and disappear into Bai Yun's eyes.

For a moment the old man stood there not knowing what to do. He was old friends with Bai Tianji and knew about Bai Yun, and also how much Bai Tianji cared about Bai Yun. The old man then walked up to Bai Yun, who was kneeling on the ground by now and asked. "Are you alright?"

Bai Yun suddenly stood up and raised a hand to stop the old man from approaching. The old man remembered the terrifying power from just before that blasted him out when he touched Bai You and held his hand. His palm still hadn't recovered from the burn, even after he took a medicinal pill.

Bai Yun touched his face. He could sense two new eyeballs in the place of his eyes. His previous eyes had melted away, and two new eyes had grown in its place. But even after Bai Yun opened his eyes, he still couldn't see anything.

As Bai Yun slowly studied the new eyes of his with his perception, he realized that he felt a very familiar power coming from them. With a start, he realized that the power he felt was the new power that was born of the merging of the god sense and the power of the devil.

Bai Yun quickly turned his senses to his sea of consciousness. But he could no longer sense the mixed power there.

After a moment Bai Yun understood what had happened. After he sealed the new power, it must have wandered aimlessly in the sea of consciousness. And it must have then fallen into his eyes and bonded with it. If Bai Yun had been awake, he would have bonded the power to his soul. But he wasn't and things took a weird turn.

After the power bonded with his eyes, it caused some sort of transformation to happen to his eyes. Bai Yun's previous eyes were not powerful enough to withstand the strength of the new power and they were destroyed. But then the new power caused a new set of eyes to be grown.

As Bai Yun slowly probed his new eyes Bai Yun realized that the new power was still in the process of binding with them. The reason he could not see anything was that the new power still hasn't finished remaking his eyes. From the way the power was working, Bai Yun figured that it would take about two weeks before the new power was done remaking his eyes. Which means that he would be blind for the next two weeks.

As he looked closer, Bai Yun also found out another special thing about his eyes. The powers in each of his two eyes seemed to be slightly different. The power in his right eye seemed to be more geared towards that of the power of gods, while the power in his left eye was more geared towards that of the power of the devil. Bai Yun realized that when his eyes finally awoke, it was extremely likely that he would awaken two new powers.

But he would have to wait until his eye awoke to study both the abilities of his eyes as well as the new power born from the mix of the god sense and the power of the devil. At least temporarily he was unable to utilize them.

As Bai Yun stood there he suddenly realized that what was happening to his eyes was kind of like the awaking of an innate ability, like Zhang Zi's shockwave ability. Except that this was an innate ability that was created artificially by Bai Yun's new power. But it wasn't like anyone else could say anything. He could just tell them that he broke through and gained a new innate ability. There was no way for anyone to challenge it.

Once Bai Yun decided on how to explain to them about the eyes he finally woke from his thoughts. Seeing that Bai Yun had come back, the old man finally asked. "What just happened?"

"Senior its nothing." Bai Yun replied."I think that just awoke an innate ability."

"WHAT?" The old man was surprised. And rightfully so. Just how rare was an innate ability. The only person in the whole of Yellow city who had an innate ability in the recent memory was Zhang Zi. An innate ability was an extremely rare thing. The fact that he got to see the awakening of an innate ability stunned the old man.

"Are you alright?" The old man finally asked after a pause. He had a great shock, but he was able to quickly calm down.

"I think so." Bai Yun replied. "Though I can't see anything. But that is just because of the awakening of the innate ability. From my guess, it will take about two weeks for it to completely awaken and I will be fine by them."

"Let me check you anyway." The old man said. Bai Yun had no problem with this. The fact that his great grandfather left him alone here meant that he definitely trusted him.

The old man placed his hands on Bai Yun's shoulder and sunk his perception into him. After a while, he retreated his hand. "You are right." The old man said. "I can't sense anything strange about you but your eyes. And a strange power seems to be modifying it slowly. My guess is also the same as yours. It will be two weeks before you can see again."

Bai Yun nodded. Suddenly he heard a sound coming from the entrance of the room. "What the hell happened here?" Bai Shi's shaky voice rang out.

It was at that moment that Bai Yun finally remembered about Bai Ling-er. He had forgotten about her situation in the excitement of his new eyes.

"Senior is Bai Ling-er still alive?" Bai Yun asked.

"I was able to extend her life by an hour, so she is fine." The old man replied. "But her situation has worsened. Unless we can find an antidote for the poison or an extremely powerful medicine, it is not possible to save her now."

"Senior, just now I was thinking about this problem and a solution came to my mind." Bai Yun said.

"What solution" The old man interjected. "Junior don't think that alchemy is so easy. It is a complex and ancient path." Without stopping the old man went on about the nature of alchemy.

Bai Yun only smiled when he heard about this. He knew that the old man was speaking from a place of love and didn't feel like telling him off. He then suddenly interjected and started to speak of the recipe the God of Alchemy had provided him with. At first, the old man looked at Bai Yun as if he was an idiot, but when he finished, the old man was staring at him with his jaw on the floor.

"Senior, will it work?" Bai Yun asked once he finished.

"Yes, it will." The old man exclaimed." Why the hell didn't I think of that? The solution was so simple. How the hell did you come up with this?"

"Senior it doesn't matter how I came across this recipe." Bai Yun replied. "It is more important to save people."

The old man rolled his eyes and then disappeared. He knew that Bai Yun had some secrets and was unwilling to speak of his methods. Since Bai Yun was the junior of his friend, he didn't feel like probing too deep. A second later Bai Yun could hear the old man rummaging around in Ba Ling-er's room as he prepared the antidote.

"Young master Yun, Will Ling-er be alright." Bai Shi asked softly.

"Didn't you hear the senior." Bai Yun replied. "Of course she will be. But right now I need you to do something for me."

"Anything young master." Bai Shi replied. He was over the moon by the fact that Bai Ling-er could be saved.

"I can't see a damn thing. Can you guide me to the other room."
