Toward Red Rain City

The next morning, Tang Yin got up early, cooked some meat, and began to think of some way to cut the bamboos.

Cutting these things is tricky, they are extremely tough to cut, and although they have weaknesses towards various things, it is not easy to find those 'things'.

After looking around, he noticed that Huang Feifei had stood up and nodded to her.

--"Miss Huang, there is water in that bowl if you want to wash yourself, and the meat is there. I am looking for some way to cut these Bamboos." Tang Yin said, and seeing her nod to him, he then began to look around more.

He thought he might find something, but after spending a while and going around several times, in the end, he found nothing and could only go back while sighing.

She then became a little confused.

--"Young Master, are you looking for some tool that can cut the Bamboos? Can't you cut it with Spiritual Energy?" She asked in confusion, and Tang Yin looked at her.

He was confused.

Can't she see that I have no Spiritual Energy? Is she that inexperienced? he thought in astonishment.

--"I can't use Spiritual Energy, Miss Huang. I was crippled." He said helplessly, and she was visibly surprised but quickly apologized.

--"I'm sorry, Young Master. I thought you were much stronger than me and that's why I couldn't see your power." She said regretfully.

Asking him that question was possibly an insult to him, but all she could do was apologize.

Tang Yin then understood and shrugged his shoulders.

--"You don't need to worry, Miss Huang. I understand. But, that's why I must look for a tool to cut this. Your sword will do, but... It's a problem since the tip has nothing to cut an Ancient Spiritual Bamboo, cutting it like this and without spiritual energy would be too slow." Tang Yin said, and she nodded.

--"Let me try, Young Master. Even though I can't use much spiritual energy, I came here knowing that I should cut enough of this, even if it takes me a long time to do it." She said with a smile and stood up, then began to use her sword to cut the Bamboos.

Her sword was imbued with some of her spiritual energy, so it did hurt, but...

Tang Yin shook his head.

The damage was pitiful.

She could spend all day there, and she could only cut about five bamboos, and she couldn't even cut them into halves of 1 meter each piece.

It's just too pitiful.

'System, do you have any way?' Tang Yin asked. He also wanted some of this bamboo.

The system took several seconds to answer...

[There is a way. Huang Feifei carries with him Fire Aromatic Powder, Earth Aromatic Powder, and Herb...]

'Wait, wait, you mean she has something so useful and she hasn't taken it out yet?' He asked in amazement without allowing the Administrator to finish speaking, to begin with, he was shocked that this thing could know this. But I didn't want to hear everything he wanted to say because I already knew what he was referring to.

There are five ingredients that can be mixed that can counter most Plant-type Passive Beasts. Cutting them off would be extremely easy.

In fact, even if she didn't have all five, just three is enough to form the small poisonous ointment for these Passive Beasts.

If she had them, then why the hell didn't she take them out? He thought, and the system didn't answer him anymore.

The system know why, but he didn't bother to tell to this guy.

He got up and walked over to where Huang Feifei was.

--"Miss, may I ask if you have any of these ingredients?" He asked and then listed the ingredients.

She looked at him somewhat surprised, and nodded.

--"Is the Young Master injured anywhere?" Instead of answering him, she chose to ask him a question back.

She always carried that with her because if she made a special ointment with these ingredients, she could heal some small wounds.

Tang Yin knew this, so he shook his head.

--"No, it's for something else, can I ask you to lend me some and your sword?" He asked, and she, not knowing what he wanted to do, could only nod.

Soon Tang Yin was making a strange ointment. He mixed those different ingredients in water and grabbed some of the sawdust that had fallen from what Huang Feifei was making earlier and mixed that in as well.

[What the hell are you doing?] the System Administrator asked in his head.

Tang Yin laughed in his mind.

'If you mix some sawdust from the same bamboo you are looking to cut with this ointment or, it will become easier. You'll see, I'll teach you something new today.' Tang Yin said with a smile and just finished making the ointment.

After that he grabbed the sword and gathered at the tip a little, then he stood up and grabbed the sword and started to cut the bamboo.

As soon as the sword touched the bamboo and Tang Yin made some force, it easily slipped and cut an Ancient Spirit Bamboo.

Huang Feifei, who saw that whole process was stunned for a moment but soon stood up.

--"Can the ointment really be good for that!?" She asked in great astonishment as she looked at the large piece of bamboo that fell to the ground.

Tang Yin smiled proudly and nodded.

He felt stupid being proud of something so simple, but now that he's weak, anything he does that surprises someone is enough to make him proud of his wisdom.

--"Haha, it's a little trick, here, try it. With spiritual energy it cuts easier, I'll be telling you where to cut it so as not to harm the life of these Passive Beasts." Tang Yin said with a smile and began to explain...

The two of them quickly moved among the bamboos and quickly cut them back and forth.

A large number of bamboos were gathered in one place after 2 hours. After that, Tang Yin instructed her to cut each piece 1 meter long.

Huang Feifei was having fun all this time, while she could so easily cut something she had struggled with before.

She felt strong at this moment, so she enjoyed it with a big smile and was very hardworking and cooperative.

Soon, another 2 hours had passed, and they were both sitting next to a large number of Bamboo pieces.

--"Great job, Miss Huang." Tang Yin said. She smiled at him and nodded happily.

--"It's thanks to you that we finished so soon. I never thought that a high-level bamboo like this could be cut this easily." She replied.

'You see? This is the right way to cut the Ancient Spiritual Bamboo.' Tang Yin said in his head, but the Administrator did not answer him except for a small 'Hmph'.

After resting, they both stood up and looked at the pile of Bamboos.

--"Young Master, come to think of it... I can't carry too many of these, there are 1,500 pieces of 1 meter each, how do I carry this? It looks like we'll have to make several trips..." She said helplessly, only then had she fallen from her cloud and realized that she was no strong person, much less was she rich.

She didn't have any Storage Bags or anything like that!

Tang Yin then smiled and ran his hand over the whole place as he thought about getting all these bamboos into his inventory.

Soon, they all disappeared, and Tang Yin looked at his 'Inventory', and it came out that there were 1,500 pieces of bamboo in it.

Tang Yin was amazed.

Before, he didn't want to put his water in there because he thought it was unreliable and his water might taste weird, but seeing that the 1,500 pieces went in without a problem, this time he was more confident in this thing called inventory, so he put the rest in as well.

Huang Feifei's gaze was stunned as she looked at all this.

'My goodness... Young Master, although he surely has powerful enemies, but he still has so much wealth on him...' She thought in amazement.

She had not asked him any questions regarding why he was crippled because it would be disrespectful, but each thing he did surprised her more and more.

She began to wonder what kind of person he was when he wasn't crippled.

'He looks like he's my age, how could he possibly be so amazing?' she thought.

--"Miss, I think that's settled." He said, and she then snapped out of her stupor.

--"Young Master, you are really amazing, you have bags of storage..." She said in awe, praising him, and Tang Yin nodded.

He couldn't tell that he had an inventory.

After that, they both left that place.

They were already a little late in what they had agreed on last night. They were supposed to leave earlier in the morning, but they were very late because they got up a little late and took a long time to cut the bamboos.

So, they both left for the closest City to this place: the Red Rain City, where Huang Feifei came from, and she also started to tell him a little bit about it.
