Persuasion (Part 2)
"This elixir has very strict requirements for controlling the fire. It also restricts the alchemist to have a fire attribute elixir fire as the main elixir fire and an ice attribute elixir fire as a supplement. However, ice and fire are incompatible. If a fire attribute alchemist wants to cultivate an ice attribute elixir fire, it is very difficult! And to raise the Ice-type Pill Fire to the same level as the Fire-type Pill Fire is as difficult as ascending to the heavens! "
"I see … It seems like not only do I have to work hard to become a third level alchemist, I also have to train in the Ice Heart Pill!" Lin Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"There's no need for that- with Xiaoxiao in the Ice Palace, the sect master doesn't need to use the Ice Heart Pill anymore. One inheritor is enough!" Qing said, "You don't have to worry too much about it- just let Xiaoxiao join the Ice Palace."
"Wait!" Lin Yi felt that something wasn't right, and asked Qing seriously, "Senior, if I may ask, what are the benefits of being the inheritor of the Ice Palace? Why is one inheritor enough? Does the sect master not want to be an inheritor? "
"That …" Qing didn't think that her words of comfort to Lin Yi would connect so many things, and it seemed like Lin Yi was starting to get suspicious. But she couldn't tell Lin Yi about inheritors, so she said, "The sect master naturally wants to be an inheritor, but because of her body, she can't accept the inheritance of the Ice Mountain. So while we're looking for someone else, we're also looking for alchemists. This is just a backup plan! As for becoming an inheritor, apart from making the path of cultivation easier and faster, they would also have an advantage over ordinary Heaven Rank experts when breaking through to the Heaven Rank. It would be easier for them to break through the barrier and enter the Heaven Dao! "
"Then you haven't found anyone with a cold body yet?" Lin Yi felt like something wasn't right, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Not only did I not find anyone with the Yin Cold Body, I did not even see anyone with the Icy Heart Jade Bone Physique." Little Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Usually, this kind of physique is hereditary in nature. Some are inherited from one generation to the next, and some are inherited only a few generations apart. If these families don't have cultivators, or don't have cultivators who know about ice mental cultivation methods, then they won't be able to discover these abnormalities! We can't go and find people to screen them one by one, can we? "
"I see! Then what's with the Ice Palace Master's fake Ice Heart Jade Bones? "Lin Yi asked.
"The fake Icy Heart Jade Bone is actually not completely inherited, only a part of it!" Little Qing said, "Therefore, this type of physique must be refined with heavenly treasures to supplement and refine it. Only then can it display the same effect as the Icy Heart Jade Bone physique."
"Then … if it's hereditary, why didn't you go to the Ice Palace Master's family and see if there's anyone else with this body type?" Lin Yi had to keep asking questions to figure out the Ice Palace's true intentions.
"The Ice Palace Master is an abandoned baby- what family does she have?" Little Qing smiled bitterly, "We wanted to look for her, but there's a sea of people out there, where would we go?"
"I see …" Lin Yi nodded- he didn't expect the Sect Master to have such a pitiful life.
"That's it!" Little Qing said, "And Xiaoxiao's body type is even more special than the Ice Heart Jade Bone- there's a large amount of cold energy in her body, so much so that it's almost unbelievable! At her age, she already possesses so much cold Yin Qi. If she can refine this cold Yin Qi, her future will be limitless! "
"What happens if I don't let her join the Ice Palace?" Lin Yi asked.
"That'd be harming her- the cold energy in her body is suppressed by the Ice Palace Master and Elder, but it won't last long." Little Qing said, "Once the cold energy breaks free again and invades her heart and spleen, she will fall unconscious again."
"Then what about the Fire Spirit's fruit?" Lin Yi asked.
"It's only temporary!" Little Qing said: "If the Yin Spirit Qi in her body was not this much, she would be able to suppress it for a few decades after taking the Fire Spirit's Fruit, but the Yin Spirit Qi in her body is too much, it is almost equivalent to the amount of Innate Qi in a Heaven Stage expert's body. Even if she took the Fire Spirit's Fruit, she would still be unconscious after a year!"
"Ah!" Lin Yi's eyes went wide, feeling regret and self-blame! Xiaoxiao didn't have that much cold energy in her body, but after that, he'd given her qi a couple times, and all the qi that was absorbed by her got swallowed up by the cold energy in her body, making it stronger and stronger.
If it weren't for Lin Yi's qi, perhaps the fruit would be able to suppress the cold energy for many years, but now …
"Then … What if I don't accept the inheritance and just let her train in the Ice Palace?" Lin Yi felt that there was a hint of a conspiracy behind the inheritance, and it made Lin Yi feel uneasy.
"The training speed won't be faster than the inheritance! Moreover, what our Ice Palace needs is a successor! "Little Qing said.
Qing's words made Lin Yi's heart tighten. It seemed that there was a problem with this inheritor! Otherwise, if the Ice Palace really wanted Xiaoxiao's amazing body, then she could train however she wanted. Why did they have to make her an inheritor?
Instinctively, Lin Yi felt that Qing was hiding something from him! But evidently, Qing didn't want to talk about it- she was avoiding the topic, and Lin Yi couldn't ask her directly!
After all, Qing had been helping him from the shadows the whole time, and Lin Yi was very grateful for that. Lin Yi didn't want to break up this relationship. He knew that Qing would tell him everything she could, but there were some things she couldn't tell him. There was no need for Lin Yi to force her to explain!
If that was the case, then Lin Yi would just ask the sect head- if she couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, then Lin Yi wouldn't let Xiaoxiao accept the inheritance easily.
"I understand, let me see Xiaoxiao first." Lin Yi nodded.
"Of course." With that, Qing brought Lin Yi to the courtyard of a guest room. She said to Lin Yi, "It's inside, the sect master is here too."
Lin Yi followed Qing into the guest room, and as expected, Xiaoxiao was in high spirits, talking to the Ice Palace Master about something. The Ice Palace Master, on the other hand, had a helpless look on her face as she sat beside Xiaoxiao, nodding her head occasionally.
