Chapter 163 - Reanimation 2 (1/2)

Reanimation (2)

“Ah...A thousand miles away, your lone grave lies; My deep sorrows, to whom I can confide?” sighed Ye Lang. [Translator’s Note: 千里孤墳，無處話凄涼 is a line from a poem by Chinese poet Su Shi] Although its use here didn’t seem right, we all know what he meant.

“Then what should we do now?” Coldblood Five stared at the ‘giant’ Coldblood Thirteen, frowning.

“It’s alright, just wait for me to finish his journal. I think the effects would’ve worn off by then,” he said casually. To him, shrinking was a small problem. He’d met way bigger problems than just being small in the past.

“You still want to wait? What if we can’t recover?” Coldblood Five asked. She seemed to be talking more now.

“Then so be it. It’s no biggie,” Ye Lang thought it was quite fun too. They could get help for anything too inconvenient.

“You really don’t care about much, do you?!” Coldblood Five frowned, exasperated. Looks like it’d be too difficult to get Ye Lang to solve the problem. She’d solve the problem herself. Then again, why was he the one doing the thinking? Was he even capable?

Coldblood Five suddenly realised it was a problem. She shook her head, feeling so stupid for putting all her hopes on an idiot like that. She left Ye Lang on his own to rest. She was preparing to look for help later, surely someone in the Coldblood Group would be able to help.

Ye Lang himself was still reading Coldblood Thirteen’s journal. He quickly skimmed through the book, memorizing its contents. Then, he sat cross-legged on the journal to focus on the details.

After reading the journal, Ye Lang confirmed that his speculations were indeed true. Coldblood Thirteen indeed knew a very specific section of alchemy, the kind that caused his soul to fly towards the western sky. [Translator’s Note: 魂歸西天; spirits flying west refers to death]

This sect was the most peculiar kind--- Reanimation!

Reanimation meant raising spirits there were not only useful but also very powerful.

Legend has it that there were once four great Reanimators so powerful they could destroy the earth and shatter the skies. They could easily destroy cities, an annihilate armies of millions.

Although it was only a legend, it rings truth: Reanimation has powerful potential.

However, it’s not enough to only know how to create a spirit. You have to gather the materials, and piece the parts, then finally assemble a complete spirit.

This process can’t be completed within a day or two, maybe not even two years.

Also, some processes had been lost through the generations. Without these core mechanisms, it was very difficult to create a complete spirit.

And that is why reanimation researchers all hope to discover these lost practices in an ancient text one day.

Of course, it’d be good if a corpse walked out of the ground now…

According to Coldblood Thirteen’s journal, Ye Lang knew he was very fortunate to be able to collect a complete set of materials. The part he kept and produced in Ye city was one of them.

Initially, he did part of the assembly in Ye City because he feared people finding out about it. Then, after the arrival of the Ye family, he had to shift his base. Fortunately, he’d completed his work there.

Despite that, since the formations and materials used for assembly could not be stored in space devices, he could only hire mercenaries to deal with them.
