Chapter 27: New Mission
It was just at that moment that a voice and a person appeared beside her.
--"Strangely the young lady is talking to herself, it seems that young man somehow influenced you." He spoke. This was the man who was always hiding near her.
Xie Meiyu looked at him sideways and smiled.
--"Do you think an Orange aptitude in Spiritual Bones at my level is a bad talent?" She asked.
The man looked at her in surprise.
--"A Spiritual King, with 5 Main Spiritual Bones and Orange Aptitude in them, how could that be a bad talent? Even among the Great Sects, Miss could be in a good position, only if we rely on cultivation, but you are an alchemical cultivator, who told you such an outrageous thing?" he replied. He was actually very surprised.
Even though he is more powerful than Xie Meiyu by a wide margin at the moment, he knows perfectly well that his talent is deficient in every possible field if he compares himself to Xie Meiyu.
Despite having many more years than her and much higher cultivation, his aptitude is barely Grade Green, how could it be the Orange Aptitude, a bad talent for a Spirit King?
Who the hell said such a thing? He thought.
And Xie Meiyu let out a snort of derision at herself.
--"Forget it, let's go back to the city. I'll see if this Alchemical Fire really can't ascend as the Young Master said." She replied as she thought of different things and started walking again.
'Being an alchemical cultivator, it has made my cultivation level not what everyone wanted me to have at my age. By diverting my attention to alchemy, I seem to have neglected important parts of me, focusing on the compliments given to me by those around me.' She thought with a deep mental sigh.
'I don't think it's wrong to follow the path I want to follow... Why should I follow the path my parents want for me?' She thought looking at the sky without pausing.
A myriad of thoughts and memories ran through her head at that moment, but in the end, she only let out a helpless sigh.
There was little she could do if she lacked strength.

Tang Yin and Huang Feifei had been traveling for more than one week since they left the city. They did not travel on the safe roads because, according to Xie Meiyu, many Young Masters from various nearby cities were going to be on those sides due to the Alchemical Fire.
That is why they deviated from their path and went through the great forests and jungles.
This was a dangerous path, full of wild animals, but for both of them, it was a piece of cake to walk them.
Huang Feifei looked more energetic these days. She could even use a little more Spiritual Energy, and Tang Yin could verify that it was because she had completed the first mission to fully awaken her spiritual weapon. This was good news, as Tang Yin didn't want to last long walking to the Blizzard Empire.
But the truth is that now it was Tang Yin who, in the first seven days, had become a bit of a burden.
His open wounds were bothering him for all that time, so, for three days to recover, they were living in a cave they found.
Luckily for Tang Yin, his body in this world also seemed to be able to recover quickly. Although not as fast as his original body, but faster than any ordinary person.
This was good, so in 3 days, he was ready to continue traveling, and with the medicinal herbs he had bought earlier, he continued to recover as he walked.
In this way, they walked for more than seven days under the sun and the rain that occasionally fell.
During that time, Tang Yin was also instructing various things to Huang Feifei, explaining some things to her.
On the seventh day of their journey, Huang Feifei suggested to Tang Yin.
--"Young Master, up ahead is Yellow Mist City, shall we go in?" asked Huang Feifei after the two of them had been walking for a long day, and it was getting a little dark.
Tang Yin thought for a moment and nodded.
--"Let's go in, but only to buy a few things to restock and then move on. I didn't expect the Blizzard Empire to be so far away, so we should hurry. Those people won't stop wanting to catch us, so we can't stay in one place too long until we get out." He replied. After that, they both entered the city.
But, as Tang Yin had said, they only went inside to buy some small things and replenish supplies to continue on their way.
Inside the city, Tang Yin saw something that made him realize that it was really good to be careful in these circumstances.
There were posters of both of them around the city!
Moreover, they were very well drawn, so they both had to go out the other way and then start running quickly to where they should go.
It was this that caused that, right now, ninth days later, they were walking around the surroundings of one of the most important cities in the empire but did not dare to enter.
Perhaps he could find some of the materials he needed for his recipe because, according to Huang Feifei, this was one of the four most prosperous Cities in the empire, but Tang Yin preferred not to risk his life.
Although they had not been pursued, during this time, Tang Yin noticed the strength that a Capital Family could have in this small empire because even from the outside, he could already notice some 'Wanted' posters painted on the city gate of one of the four most important Cities.
'Wanted, huh...' Tang Yin thought mockingly.
'This family really has the biggest guts I've ever seen, but that's okay, it seems like they want to push me so that I can fulfill the mission given to me by the System.' Tang Yin thought from afar as he continued on his way.
This family was powerful, but someone traveling with him wanted to take revenge on this family. Moreover, this family had put him in several cities with a price on his head.
This was nothing but an insult to him and his Tang Family.
And the Tang does not forgive those who offend them. But, since a person traveling with him wanted to take revenge on them out of a deep grudge, then Tang Yin would help her fulfill her revenge.
'You have asked for it, Huang Family, you should not blame me for that.' Tang Yin thought as he looked at Huang Feifei.
During this time, he had also investigated her Spirit Weapon with the system and noticed that it was an air-type Spirit Weapon, so now that he knows that this Huang family put a lot of effort into wanting to kill him...
He will not stop what he planned to do and try to make Huang Feifei his disciple.
This will allow him to fulfill the system's mission and also take revenge using his disciple to do so.
Just as he was thinking like this, the system surprised him with a message.
[Ding]

[Good luck, Host.]
Tang Yin was a little surprised to see this window appear out of nowhere in front of him and quickly looked to see what it was. When he saw that it was a mission to get Huang Feifei a Spirit Bone, he gave a little mental sigh at least it wasn't anything weird or bad, he thought.
Then he quickly read the rewards, and as he finished reading them, his eyelids jumped a little.
'Hey, Administrator, may I know why the hell you don't give me anything that's useful to me? So far, only the recipe to cure me is useful to me. I can't use the tokens on me and those pills... What the hell do I want them for if I have a Divine Soul? And why the fuck are you giving me such low-grade Cultivation Techniques? You do know that I'm the Heir of a Great Sect, right?
I have plenty of those left over, what the fuck do I want them for? Are you an idiot or are you playing with me?' Seeing these rewards, Tang Yin became a bit annoyed.
The mission is good, of course. For something he already planned to do, would get rewards that's a beautiful thing.
But those rewards are of no use to him, so what are the missions for?
[Hmph, you bastard, stop being so selfish, why should all the rewards revolve around you? You don't even have cultivation, what do you want me to give you something that's useful to you for if you won't be able to use it without Spiritual Energy] Replied the system, well, the Administrator.
[Besides, I'm not giving you those rewards for you, don't you want to make her become your disciple? Well, that's what I'm giving them to you for, those rewards are good for her. Besides, don't blame me. I can't put all the rewards in these missions. I just help you fulfill what you have in your mind.
When you can cultivate, then I will give you the rewards that serve you] Culminating Administrator spoke, and Tang Yin then calmed down.
'Well, if it's for her... It's not bad either, but... How annoying, isn't supposed to help me who's his Host?' Tang Yin asked, but he gave a sigh and didn't expect to receive an answer to that question, but he did.
[Don't forget the previous name of the system. This thing is like this, it is made so that the Host can become immensely strong together with all his Family/Sect.
So, if you have plans to make a force, these rewards will serve you a lot, and the system will give you many more rewards at that time, but not for you, but for your force to become powerful] Said the System again and then Tang Yin remembered this and nodded.
'The System's name was that above all things, you mean the System has information on everything?' Tang Yin asked in his mind, and the Administrator was silent for a while.
When Tang Yin thought that, again, he would be left without an answer to a question he asked the system, it replied.
[Yes, the system itself is practically omniscient. It knows many things or you could say it knows everything, that's why it could tell precisely where Huang Feifei was at that time and will continue to do so. And it is because of this very special qualification of this thing, that it can be called 'Above All Things'.
Don't ask any more questions I can't answer any more] The Administrator said and after that, became silent.
Tang Yin was greatly surprised to hear about the power of the system, so much so that he was stunned and still for a moment.
'Shit, is there really something omniscient in this world?' Tang Yin thought in a daze at that moment Huang Feifei who was walking merrily with a smile on her face, noticed that Tang Yin had stopped, so she stopped as well in doubt.
--"What's wrong, Young Master?" She asked but received no answer.
It's because Tang Yin was thinking a lot of things at that moment...
