Chapter 67: Last preparations in the empire (2E)
The next morning, Tang Yin got up early because he had a visitor.
A somewhat expected, but at the same time unexpected visitor. It was Zu Xiaolin, but she had no guard around her and was covered from head to toe in black robes.
"Miss Zu, is it all right for you to sneak out of the palace like this?" Tang Yin asked in surprise when he saw her.
He knew very well that she had escaped.
She smiled as she sat down beside him.
"It's okay, if I don't run away like this, then we'd have hundreds of guards around here who wouldn't even let me talk to Young Master Tang. It's better this way." She replied and took off the robes covering her.
Tang Yin could only smile.
'This girl...' Tang Yin thought and shook his head, then continued writing things down.
Today he was alone because Huang Feifei and Li Mei had to go do some things at the academy very early.
"Young Master, what are you doing?" she asked.
"Writing some Cultivation Techniques..." He replied as wrote.
Receiving that answer, she was astonished.
She never thought Tang Yin could write such things.
'Can he even do that? I can't even ask him if he can do anything anymore, the right question is, what can't you do?' She thought in shock.
'Writing cultivation techniques requires high concentration and a high level of cultivation, so why on earth can he write cultivation techniques without cultivation?' That was what was going through her head.
Tang Yin, although he was focused on writing, still noticed that this question was etched on Zu Xiaolin's face, so he smiled.
"Look around you and you will understand the answer to the question going around in your head." Tang Yin replied with a smile, still writing.
She looked at him in confusion, even so, she looked around...
At first, she didn't understand what he was referring to, but...
Slowly, she began to notice something.
'Spiritual Energy? Why is there so much of it?' She thought doubtfully and looked more...
The more she saw, the more she was surprised.
"A Spiritual Attraction Matrix!?" she cried out in shock when she noticed that there was a lot of spiritual energy gathering in this room and being attracted from somewhere else.
There should be no doubt, there was a Spiritual Attraction matrix in this place! She thought.
Tang Yin nodded.
"Good eye. But don't make a fuss, it's just a small matrix that's easy to make. I'll show you how to make it later, for now, let me finish. You can go read what I'm doing if you want to, but don't shout." Tang Yin replied calmly.
She then quickly excused herself and sat to the side to look at him.
Now that she looked closely, each of the materials Tang Yin was using had something in common.
They were External Spiritual Tools. Although they did not look expensive, they were still external spiritual tools.
So, he could use the surrounding spiritual energy to write such cultivation techniques.
After realizing this, she looked more at what Tang Yin was writing and frowned.
"Young Master, do those cultivation techniques, do they have a limit of use?" she asked doubtfully.
Tang Yin smiled at her.
"It seems your eyesight has improved and you continue to use cultivator logic, over and above the beliefs you have been taught. You are admirable. Answering your question, of course, they have a limit of use. A normal person can't write permanent cultivation techniques unless they wanted to die. I can only write this and I will still have great discomfort later." He replied.
His calmness was noticeable from his tone of voice.
Right now, what he needed most was peace of mind. So nothing would make him lose his peace of mind. If he lost it, it would damage what he was writing.
This was something Zu Xiaolin noticed, so she stopped asking him questions and just focused on looking at him.
Thus, they both spent hours there...
During the course, Huang Feifei returned.
Tang Yin occasionally explained some things to both of them.
But he focused on writing cultivation techniques over and over again...
He stopped to eat lunch but then continued all afternoon...
He stopped to eat dinner but then continued all night...
That night slept late and the next morning repeated the process.
As a non-cultivator, he could not write cultivation techniques too quickly. Also, the blood he was able to obtain from the beasts was not many years old, so the matrix did not run for many continuous hours.
But still...
It took three whole days to write different cultivation techniques. During that time, Zu Xiaolin and Huang Feifei had been with him, watching him and helping him with some little things.
Plus, Tang Yin taught them both some things, so they were both practicing that too.
Huang Feifei also started to study more about alchemy, but Tang Yin couldn't give him the Earthly Fire he had, so she couldn't do alchemy right now.
Her Heavenly Body is not compatible with his Earthly Fire and it is normal. A Heavenly Body of that style is quite picky about what it wants to have as a partner, so it won't accept just any Fire you want to bestow on it.
Even so, she was learning well, little by little progressing...
So those three days passed.
Tang Yin had already finished writing everything and didn't need to leave anything else.
'It's about time to go, huh...' Tang Yin thought with a smile that night.
Huang Feifei knew it too, which was why she was standing beside him.
She was still sad about this, even though they had been together these days.
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" she asked, and Tang Yin nodded.
"I'll be back soon, don't worry. By then I hope to see you even stronger." He replied and then looked at her.
"All those Cultivation Techniques I gave you will help you and help Elder Zhang's Hall, become the most powerful Hall. Use them well, but don't say that you have them. I'm not sure of the level of the Great Sects in this place, but those cultivation techniques might become coveted by those powers, so don't reveal anything.
I already talked to Elder Zhang, his cultivation level has already surpassed the Sixth Realm, so he will be able to protect and cultivate you."
"He was telling me about the Tournaments that the Academies do, it seems that in a few years, they will have an important one and he wants to take you, if you want to go, you can go." Tang Yin said, and she nodded to him.
She knew what she should do, but she still understood that Tang Yin was trying to teach her and take care of her, so she was obedient and kept everything in her mind.
He smiled and then kissed her...
He didn't want to talk anymore. He knew would soon leave, so he wanted to kiss her...
She also wanted the same, so, that night, they both spent a beautiful night of passion.
A night in which Huang Feifei was more active than usual...
