âLearn Alchemy? You mean I can learn how to make âelixirsâ?!â
Needless to say, Bai Yunfei was stunned. How could he not with a proposition like that? âOfâŠof course Iâm willing!â He nodded furiously.
The fact that he was already given the chance to regain his memories was more than enough for Bai Yunfei. He didnât even dare to hope for anything more. But if they were the ones offering him the chance, of course heâd be happy.
âThatâs good then,â Wang Tong smiled, âletâs have you rest for now. When youâre fully recovered, weâll teach you how to cultivate. I can see that youâve formed an essence originseed already and that youâve an aptitude for elemental fire. Iâll report it to the elders and see if anything else will be needed. If all goes well, then weâll be able to give you a fireseed pill, that should help you tremendously to completely form an essence fireseed. And by thenâŠyouâll be given the right to join our clan and learn Alchemy.â
The three left the room while Bai Yunfei sat there, still spellbound by the newest development. Never had he possibly imagined that heâd be so âeasilyâ given the chance to learn the art of Alchemy
He was alone now. It was the perfect time for him to think about everything that had just happened as the new memories he just regained.
Holding his face in his hands, Bai Yunfei sifted through each of the new memories one by one. He was thoroughly shocked by the events he was recalling and couldnât believe that they were even real.
âIâŠI lived such a lifeâŠ?â
His body shook with emotion. It seemed almost inconceivable that it was he who had gone through such a tumultuous life.Â
âSo âuncle Wuâ had more meaning to my life than I thoughtâŠâ He wiped a single tear away from his cheek. Just thinking about the kindly man who saved him once before was enough to bring a stab of pain to his heart.
âLiu MengâŠâ Came the second name. He was a little absent-minded with this one. This name seemed to be a little hazier in its background than uncle Wu, but in the end, he was left with a rather empty sensation.
Another sensation was pressing down onto his heart. Someone else far more important than this name was forcing itself to make Bai Yunfei think. ButâŠhe just couldnât recall who or what this person wasâŠ.Â
Bai Yunfeiâs hand touched at the white-cloud-shaped ring on his left hand. He didnât know why, but just touching it brought an unbelievably warm sensation to his chest. There had to be a connection between this ring and the third person he was thinking about. He just couldnât put his finger on itâŠÂ
âJust what kind of memories am I still missingâŠâ Bai Yunfei scratched his head. There was nothing more Bai Yunfei wanted than to crack open the mystery that was himself.
âAh! The space rings!â
A sudden thought occurred to Bai Yunfei at that moment. Grabbing the pouch he wore around him, he opened it up to fish out several objects.
There was no way he wasnât leaving the village without the stuff he came into it with. He didnât know what they were before, but now that he had some memories back, Bai Yunfei recognized several of these items to be soul armaments. He also realized he had a few space ringsâŠ.Â
He had two space rings with him right now. One was one he normally had in his pouch and the other was the Violet Soul Ring. Transmitting his soulforce into the rings, Bai Yunfeiâs mouth dropped wide open when he saw the objects stored insideâŠÂ
âSo many soul armaments!!â He exclaimedâthere were well over a hundred soul armaments in there!â
âThisâŠthisâŠâ
Words were failing to come out from Bai Yunfeiâs mouth. From his memories of Jadewillow City, Bai Yunfei was aware of just how rare soul armaments were. The only soul armament he recalled having was an earth-tier one called the Fire-tipped Spear. But rather than seeing only that spear, Bai Yunfei had an entire âarsenalâ laying in front of him.
âBut whereâs the Fire-tipped Spear?â Bai Yunfei felt it was strange that he hadnât seen the only one soul armament he was familiar with.
His hand reached for an orange-colored spear nearby.

The stats of this spear immediately appeared into Bai Yunfeiâs mind when he touched it. The pupils in his eyes dilated in awe as he read the contents.
âA mid-heaven tier!âÂ
This new spear was many times stronger than the Fire-tipped Spear he was only just thinking about!
âGood heavensâŠwhat in the world did I go through after leaving Jadewillow City?!â Bai Yunfei could feel his heart skip a beat. The spear he was holding was simply so majestically strong than he felt faint just touching it.
âAh, thatâs right, I was also wearingâŠâ His eyes flickered back over to the things he wore over his body. The two gloves, the two bracers, the armorâŠ.each item was being carefully reconsidered now that he had a new perspective on what they were. Then when the notifications appeared in his headâŠ
He was floored!
âDiâdivine tier?!â
The small stone he wore on a necklace around his neck caught his attention first and foremost. He couldnât even stop himself from letting out a stunned cry.
âSpace thatâs over five-hundred kilometers wide? How crazy is that?â The length of distance was mind-boggling to Bai Yunfei. âBut these stats shouldnât be lying to me. What kind of soul armament is thisâŠand how do I go into it?â
He held the Core Stone in between his fingers. Curious, he tried to see if there was any way to activate it.
In the end, he decided to try seeing if he could send some soulforce into it.
âUgh!!â A sharp stab of pain shot straight through his body the moment he began to circulate his soulforce!
Some of his soulforce was sent into the Core Stone, but rather than being sent into the âworldâ, a fierce pain ran through his body!
âTch!! I canât use any soulforce!â Using soulforce was useless for him right now. He had nearly forgotten he wasnât supposed to use anyâŠÂ
And so Bai Yunfei tore his eyes away from the Core Stone. Next up was the Charm Bracelet and the Vitality Bracelet. Both space rings were placed back onto his hand for safety. Now that he knew these âaccessoriesâ had a use, he didnât feel so awkward about wearing them like before.
It felt like he was living a dream almost. So many powerful soul armaments, and all of them within his possession. The experiences he gained from the Azure Cloud Province seemed almost silly in comparison to thisâŠÂ
âClack clack clackâŠâ
The sound of footsteps outside his door perked Bai Yunfeiâs attention. Storing away all the soul armaments into the space ring, Bai Yunfei threw the ring into his pouch and hid his bracelets. While his memories were partially back, that didnât mean he wanted anyone else to know of what he owned. Wang Tong and his friends were decent folks, but this was a secret that was best restricted to only himself.
Not waiting for the people on the other side to knock, Bai Yunfei moved towards his door and opened it up. Flinging it open, Bai Yunfei was prompted with the sight of Wang Tong and a kind-looking elder in white.
Wang Tong nodded at the sight of Bai Yunfei. âTang Long, this is elder Cheng. Youâll be learning under his tutelage. Whatever questions you might have will be answered by him. All your living arrangements will also be dealt with by him.â
âItâs an honor to meet you, elder Cheng.â
âNot badâŠâ Elder Cheng stroked his beard with satisfaction. âA peak Late-stage Soul Warrior already. Perhaps youâll become a Soul Sprite once your essence fireseed is formed. Your Alchemy training can start then.â
âWeâll stay here until youâre feeling calmer. Iâve a fireseed pill when youâre ready to try and breakthrough. Once your fireseed is formed and you become a Soul Sprite, weâll start your Alchemy training right away. Whether or not it happens will depend on your own talent, so please take this seriously.â
Reverently, Bai Yunfei took the small pill and jade slip from Wang Tong into his hands. âThank you very much, big brother Wang Tong.â
He and Wang Tong were strangers. The fact that the older male was so willing to help him made Bai Yunfei feel extremely grateful.
The two left after that, leaving Bai Yunfei to be left alone in his room once again. He flopped onto the bed with the jade slip in hand to look at. He narrowed his eyes.
Giving this jade slip even the tiniest of soulforce from his body elicited a strong sense of pain in his body and made him feel powerless.
Wang Tong said to him before they left that this jade slip had a very basic primer on how to cultivate. Compared to the one Ge Yiyun gave him before, this jade slip was unbelievably basic.
In his other hand was a small bottle. He could sense a sliver of heat radiate from inside. It felt like this bottle held within it a very tiny spark of fire.
âMy memories were caught off right before I became a Soul Sprite, but Iâm sure I became one. How else would I have so many soul armaments? If I lost all that strength, will this count as a breakthrough then?
âAnd would I even succeed inâŠforming a second originseed then?â
