27 Fail!

Hearing his mother emotionless rejection, Yin Yu feels that he has to wake up from his dream and back into reality. Looking at his mother face now, even Yin Yu starts to become a little scared, especially after seeing his father earlier fate.

Yin Yu start to curse his mind from being stupid for a while because of his greediness. After calming himself down, Yin Yu finally decide what to learn.

"T-Then, I-I'll choose poison.."

Seeing her son stuttering while finally choosing between medicine and poison make Yin Ying previous expressionless face return into her cheeky smile, and hearing her son choose poison over medicine make her even more satisfied while Yin Liang sighs a little in the corner.

"Little Yu, why do you choose poison over medicine?"

Yin Yu mind becomes black after he heard his mother question, he didn't know what to answer and how to answer it. since that's so, Yin Yu start to say whatever things appear in his mind.

"I-It's because by learning poison, I can avoid the same situation I have faced when I was in the trial."

"If I had some knowledge about poison back then, I think that I may be able to clear the trial easier than before"

While talking about anything that crosses his mind and hearing his own answer, even Yin Yu start to feel confident and start to answer more energetically.

"If I knew about how poison work or how to make a cure of it, I can avoid getting poisoned by my enemies while countering them"

"But the most important one is definitely because poison is cooler than medicine!"

Reaching this part, Yin Yu eyes start to grow fervently while his voice becomes faster and louder.

"While poison user can kill enemies just by passing them and doctor can cure someone from the brink of death, both of them have the same reputation which has a different meaning.."

"Poison user will be feared, respected, and avoided, while doctor will be revered, respected, and approached"

"Didn't poison user seems cooler than the doctor, while doctor seems more like a revered old man?."

Speaking up to this point, Yin Yu finally finish talking while looking up at his mother speechless face, looking behind her, he saw that his father was also looking with a dumbfounded face.

"Er…., is something wrong?"

Hearing Yin Yu question, both Yin Ying and Yin Liang start to look at each other and then laugh.

"Eh…mom, dad, why are you laughing, did I say something funny?"

Hearing Yin Yu question again, both of them stop laughing while her mother comes close to him.

"Forget about that, How about we start to learning poison now?"

Hearing the word learning poison, Yin Yu ignored the previous bout of laughter that comes from his parent and nods his head.

"Yes!"

"You hear it dear?, leave the room please, because I need a peaceful environment to teach our son."

Hearing that word Yin Liang start to leave without saying any more words leaving both Yin Yu and his mother.

***

From that day onwards, Yin Yu stop most of his training except his foundational body tempering. After learning about poison from his mother, even Yin Yu realize why both of his parents ask him to learn only one at the time because he realizes that learning alchemy is harder than he thinks!.

No, it should be said it's super hard!!.

The first thing Yin Yu need to learn was memorizing, yes memorizing. Although usually memorizing is easy for him, seeing the list of plant and all of its appearance, effect, habitats, way to plant and the other which he needs to memorize makes his mind full every day.

Even so, by having his mother teaching him about it for two months, Yin Yu has finally memorized all of the poisonous plants and animals that are written in the book.

After two months of cramming, Yin Yu finally learn all about the poisonous plant, animal, etc. Yet before he can sigh in relief, his mother has thrown him a book of how to make a pill while teaching him it step by step, by showing him how to do it.

Even so, this month Yin Yu has finally broken through to 6th stage of Body Tempering. Although his training times were minimized, he can be said broken through pretty easy compared to other children.

Another one month has passed and Yin Yu has finally mastered the basic of how to make a pill, even his parent was shocked by how fast he can absorb the knowledge.

Although he's not as fast as someone with eidetic memories, Yin Yu speed of memorizing can also be called pretty fast for a child of his age.

Today, it'll be the first day Yin Ying will guide and teach Yin Yu how to refine a pill. While Yin Yu face has already shown excitement.

"Little Yu, you should have already used to see how mom refine poison pills right? it shall be your turn today, come and practice here."

Hearing the things he had want to hear for the past few months, Yin Yu start to go in front of the cauldron while waiting for further instruction from his mother.

"How about refining paralysis poison for today? did you still remember the main ingredient?"

"Thunrantula venom and Numbing grass"

"Good, you can start now."

Hearing his mother consent, Yin Yu start his refining very carefully. First thing first, he starts to refine both of Thunrantula venom and Numbing grass. After that, he starts to enter miscellaneous ingredient that will enhance the effect of Thunrantula venom while combining the effect of Numbing grass on it.

Yin Yu refine with a serious look unlike his previous self and operate his cauldron with caution. He controls all of the things that happened in the cauldron with a serious look and then after he deemed he has finished, he starts to close the cauldron all so that the pill he concocts can turn into a pill.

After waiting for 4 minutes, Yin Yu has felt that his very first creation will arrive in this world, and start to open his cauldron.

'My very first pill!'

"Na!"

With a gesture, a black pill with uneven surface appeared in front of Yin Yu that's still has a lot of expectation. Even so, before his face can change because of his failure, he has already heard an emotionless voice beside him.

"Fail!"
