72 Unlucky (1/2)
Helen: ”The array you used to paralyze them is something I never heard of where did you learn it, and how did you stop the flow of information though the nerve endings?”
Kyouki: ”It is simple Helen his master might have taught him the array.”, as she rolled her eyes at the stupid question her friend asked, of course something like that can only be taught.
Long Yu: ”Actually the array requires intense knowledge on human anatomy which I learnt while learning about alchemy, so I am sorry if I am not able to share my knowledge with you, if you are not well versed with human anatomy you would fail and in worst case it might backfire on you destroying your nerves.”, Everyone felt a shiver run down their spine, without nerves they could not move a single muscle let alone be a cultivator,” As for where I learnt, well my master allows me to try to create various new arrays and of course I am only allowed to do so in front of my master, this array is one such which was created due to my creativity which enabled me to reinvent after which master made sure to correct any mistake I made making it flawless.”
Ryofu could not help but ask him curiously, ”What do you mean reinvent?”
Long Yu replied with a smile, ”Master says that array is limited by creativity of a person, as such she encourages me to create different array sometime she tells me different stories from where I draw up inspirations, after I make one array I would take it to my master and after my master finishes inspecting and mistakes then after any required improvement we test the array. As for the word reinvent well the array was created by me after learning about workings of human anatomy, and when I showed it to my master, my master already knew about such an array as such I said reinvent. ”
Everyone nodded but they still could not identify the gender of the said master, as no matter what they asked Long Yu was never dropping any hint about it, as there was a running bet on the gender of Long Yu's master.
Soon they reached near the vicinity of the Alchemy Hall. Long Yu spoke out with not so hidden glee in his voice his eyes shining brightly, ”I cannot wait to check the herbarium of this school.”
Bashista sighed well since he was the leader of the group he has to break the bad news to him, ”Long Yu I am sorry to say it to you but we cannot enter the herbarium.”
Long Yu whined out, ”aww, Why can we not enter the herbarium?”, he asked with eyes that looked just like a sad puppy.
Bashista winced at that, ”Well we do not know how but there was some accident in the herbarium many millennia ago which spawned some plant monster which captures and kills anyone foolish enough to get to close to the herbarium, such no one tries to get to close to the herbarium.”
Long Yu looked glum but nodded at the reply,' oh well we can't get everything we want always.'
Kyouki spoke out shamelessly, ”Well we would be depend on you again brother Long Yu, your bands allow you more access compared to us as such we will forced to burden you with gathering of the pills.”.
Long Yu just sighed at seeing the eyes of few of this people turning green with greed, 'Shameless these people are really shamelessly greedy.'
He forced a kind smile as he replied, ”Of course big sister I will try my best.”
Meanwhile back in Ayindril,
