After Luo Hongyi left that Other Shore Flower behind and departed, Wang Yan became completely obsessed.
At first, without scallions to bolster him, he felt out of sorts all over. Even tossing food in a wok felt as though it had lost its soul.
But under his mother's relentless, all-angle surveillance, he could only tearfully seal away his "scallion-scented Dao."
Yet when he truly began delving into the Other Shore Flower, his heart as an alchemist was instantly set ablaze.
"How extraordinary... how marvelous!"
Wang Yan lay leaning over the pill furnace, his face full of fascination.
The laws contained within this flower completely overturned everything he had learned about medicinal properties in his life!
Li Tiezhu, who occasionally came over to watch, also clicked his tongue in wonder. "How could it not be marvelous? This is an Other Shore Flower! This is the legendary... forget it. You wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
He silently called out in his mind, System, you've seen and heard plenty. Just what rank is this flower?
[This flower... lies outside the Five Elements. It is the boundary stone between life and death, the starting point of reincarnation.] [Its value cannot be measured in points. The karma entangled with this thing is far too great...]
Li Tiezhu froze for a moment, then couldn't help muttering inwardly, System, why have you been sounding so old and world-weary lately? I almost don't recognize you anymore.
The system fell silent for a moment. Then: [You dumbass only need to know that I... will never harm you.]
"..."
Fine, fine, fine.
Though he kept feeling that this damned system had hit menopause lately, everything was fine as long as its insulting tone hadn't changed.
Forget it. Act all deep and mysterious if you want.
