《Monarch of Alchemy》4. Heavanly Garden
Advertisement
The main hall of the pavilion wasn't very spacious, but there were three room doors on each side and there was a staircase leading to a basement. There is also a dining table and a sofa to sit on and a kitchenette.
He checked the doors one by one.
There is a bathroom, a bedroom, and a cultivation room. The basement, on the other hand, was just an empty room, probably used for refining pills.
Yi Yun did not sit down immediately, he first went to the mirror hanging on the wall to see his face.
Immediately he was shocked. His age looked like he was 16 years old, his figure was a bit thin and his hair was also slightly curly with a slightly delicate face.
Although there were slight differences, he thought he was very similar to him on earth.
"I transferred you since you were in the womb, because your soul, your body structure is still very similar," the mysterious woman said.
"But why didn't I have my previous memories? Oh, or why didn't I wake up earlier if I arrived in the womb?" Yi Yun asked.
"The long journey has shaken your consciousness, if not for my care, your consciousness would have been shattered long ago. And merging two memories isn't as simple as you think, especially for a weakling like you. Even though you in this world live a very ordinary life, it is still an experience. The merging of two life experiences will leave you confused about who you are, and even if you can control yourself, there will be changes to your personality. Therefore, I destroy your consciousness here when your original consciousness awakens, leaving only the memory of the language."
"It can't be helped."
Yi Yun, "..."
He was about to say something but didn't know what to say.
"Alright, stop talking about it, you have arrived here, better think about things for the future. Do you know how difficult it was to send you here, apart from this ring, I have to sacrifice all my remaining treasures."
Yi Yun was quite curious as to the reason she had sent him here, but it didn't seem like now was the right time to ask.
"Now, come in here," said the woman again.
"How to?"
"The ring on your finger is not mine, nor is it yours. Since a treasure at this level cannot be tied, whoever holds it will be considered its owner. Since you're the one holding it, it's basically under your control. Try imagining it as if you were inside this ring."

"Just like that."
Yi Yun felt strange as he followed her words.
Immediately after that he felt his vision become blurry. Then, he appeared in a completely different place. It was a space where there were farmlands and grasslands scattered everywhere with a river in the middle.
As he thought about looking outside, he could see what was outside the space. The ring that had been on his finger was now lying on the floor.
“Welcome to the Heavenly Garden, one of the Nine Heavenly Treasures,” he heard the woman's voice again. This time it sounded directly beside him.
There was a large rock on which a woman in her mid-20s sat on it holding a clay jug.
She is about 170 cm tall with a body shape that is not excessive but elegant and charming.
She wore a simple red dress with white stripes and exuded an aura of noble elegance while her long silver white hair fell past her slender waist. Her crimson colored eyes were like blood moons so Yi Yun felt like he was seeing how boundless the night sky was the moment he looked into her eyes. They combined perfectly with her oval face, high nose, pink lips, and snow white skin.
Her demeanor was quite relaxed, after speaking, she drank the water in the jug which was probably wine.
Yi Yun looked around, inwardly he wondered what was meant by the Heavenly Garden.
He looked at the woman again, waiting for her to finish drinking.
"Ahhh...," She sighed after drinking as if her thirst had been quenched.
She immediately looked at Yi Yun, with a faint smile on her face, she said, "why are you always so calm, young man? I believe this is your first time seeing a Goddess, (supreme woman)."
'Is she really a Goddess,' Yi Yun wondered to himself before replying "I don't feel like I'm calming down."
It's not that he's calm, but he's just not the type to show his emotions too much.
In fact, he had to force himself to look calm because she was simply too beautiful for a woman.
"Do you remember how you got the ring?" He suddenly asked.
Yi Yun was silent for a while before replying, “I seem to have scraped the trash can in the early days I left the orphanage. I accidentally found a ring that happened to fit on my finger, so I use it until now."
The woman nodded, "Fate is indeed something unexpected. Since fate brought us together, I will help you. I've never recruited disclipes and I don't think I'm cut out to be a teacher, so let's just keep it simple, as if we were friends. First, my name is Xia Xinghe, you can call me Xinghe, I prefer that. If you feel uncomfortable, just call me Miss Xinghe."

"Miss Xinghe." Yi Yun chose the latter. It was easier because she looked a few years older than him. He needed time to call her by name directly.
She nodded before continuing, "Well, let's get started, since you've heard quite a bit about cultivation from that guy, then I'll just go straight to explaining about this place."
"Don't see that this just looks like an ordinary farmland, but every inch of land here is as valuable as a diamond. Basically, you can plant anything here, it will grow many times faster with the best quality. All you need to do is look for the seeds."
"This place can also be used as a farm. If you send a hundred thousand deer to this place, one of them might evolve into a Divine Beast just by eating the grass here. The rest will be Spiritual Beasts that will continue to grow stronger. If their flesh is given to ferocious beasts like tigers or lions, they can also evolve into Divine Beasts. As long as you hold the ring, they will always submit to you, you can rule over them like a Beast Tamer."
"Divine Beast?"
Even though it sounded incredible, Yi Yun wasn't sure what kind of creature it was, so his reaction was still calm.
Xia Xinghe shook her head at his ignorance, she continued, "You may not know, but so-called Divine Beasts are beings on par with Monarchs. With the vastness of the prairie in this place, you can at least cultivate 4 to 7 Divine Beasts in one generation.”
"4 to 7 beings equal to Monarchs."
This time, Yi Yun was finally shocked to the point that his eyebrows shot up. After all, a Monarch was a supreme existence in this world, he had only just dreamed of it, but this so-called Heavenly Garden could actually help him cultivate several beings who were on par with Monarchs. If that's the case, wouldn't that mean he himself can become a Monarch.
"The Nine Heavenly Treasures are supreme treasures born from heaven itself, each one able to make mighty beings fight for it.
"Now, it can be said that you have obtained the highest opportunity, the next depends on your own will and hard work."
Yi Yun was speechless, it was very hard for him to believe that such a thing would end up in his hands.
"I don't know how this treasure fell into the trash," he said.
To his surprise; Xia Xinghe suddenly fell silent at those words. She seemed to be lost in contemplation, seeming to be reminiscing about the past.
After a while, she shook her head.
She then took out a book whose paper seemed to be made of gold, it was extremely thick, and even emitted a mysterious aura.
The cover has no picture, but there is a title and the words.
(Alchemy of Heaven's Path)
(The path to becoming the Monarch of Alchemy.)
"There is only one, it can't be copied and its contents can't be shared, it can only be read. When held by different people, the contents will sometimes be different because this will adapt to the talent of the user. From now on, you become the next owner, read slowly from the first chapter. It has a supreme Merit Law, various Alchemy techniques, everything you need is in this book. You will also know what the true power of an Alchemist is like. If there's something you don't understand, just ask me!"
Yi Yun received the book with a curious expression.
As soon as his hand held the book, he felt a kind of illusion as if there was a path leading to the peak in front of him.
"It's better to do it outside while you're cultivating so that no one finds you missing. However, don't show the book to anyone else or you'll get in trouble."
“I know, but thank you,” Yi Yun replied, making Xia Xinghe smile faintly.
She suddenly said, "Can you say it again?"
"Say it again what?" Yi Yun showed a confused expression.
"Ah, forget it!" She turned away with an embarrassed expression.
Yi Yun naturally wasn't flustered for too long, he quickly understood what she wanted.
"Thank you," he said again.
It wasn't something hard to say, but Xia Xinghe seemed pleased to hear it.
She smiled again.
'So strange,' thought Yi Yun.
He was just starting to think about what kind of person she was and whether she had some kind of strange scheme, but her request made it hard for him to find any clues.

Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.
