Who knew he is a robber

"Hey, why is that guy after you?"

Sean called out to the lady

"He is a robber, the devil tribulation have made lots of people turn evil. You look like a stranger?"

"Yes, I am"

"For people to survive this days is a very difficult thing, you did a great job there, probably the first time you kill"

"I have killed a devil earlier today"

The lady was suprised that Sean is bold enough to kill a devil, the best thing to do is get closer to him

"My name is Lyla, what's yours?"

"Sean"

"Sean, I guess you have no safe place to stay "

"I don't think there is anywhere safe in thus city"

"Obviously there is not but people that survive till this day , we have collapsed building that we live in. You can come with me?"

"The hardest thing to find in this city is food, that is why people started stealing from each other"

"Take me to your hideout, I hope you have enough food for both of us"

"I do have food that can feed us for a month, after that we will have to fight for food"

"We can run out if the city, go somewhere else "

"Yeah some people tried that already but rumors had it that there are dragons on the way out of the city"

"Dragons?"

"Song village was formed after the devil tribulation but the dragons are attacking them making us stuck to the city"

Lyla paused for a while and continue

"The village is safer than the city, there are magic warriors in the village "

"We can steal our way to the village"

"Hmph, at the cost of our lives. Am not really interested in risking my life"

"So what will you do, steal when your good finished?"

"We do what we have to do to survive. Let's get to my hide out first"

After going through some destroyed streets in the City, Lyla l entered a building. Inside the building the building there is an underground covered by planks of the collapsed building, Lyla removed all planks and entered into the underground and Sean followed

Trina felt like some kind of colors came out of the book into her head, she felt like she already know everything in the book, meanwhile, she's been unconscious too.

"hey, hey, what's wrong, you okay?" Liu ask in concern

Back to her conscious, Trina replied 

"my happiness is intoxicating me, like winning your dad by just getting a flower it's some kind of simple"

"you think so, apart from Song City, the stagnant river is the next dangerous place to go"

"yeah I saw something dangerous, I saw..." Trina was trying to explain but got interrupted

"I don't wanna hear about it, don't tell anyone about it either, unless father wants you to. He is not that simple" 

"thanks" 

"hey, Liu and disciple, get over here"

 Liu's father shouted from outside cottage as Liu and Sean ran to meet him 

"my name is Sean" 

"there is something different about this leaf" Liu's father examined the leaf

"it's not the aquarius leaf" Liu asked

"it is, but it also have lot of yang essence in it, this surprise me. Anyway, it's good luck go extract water from the flower" 

Liu took the flower from his dad and went to rinse it, he started squeezing the flower until he got lots of green liquid from it, he kept the squeezed leaf and gave the water to his father. Liu's father pour some part of the water into the big pot, he had already added some necessary ingrediens into it. After he poured the aquarius leaf water inside the pot, the water mixed with whatever is inside the pot and increase it's temperature

"this is the yang essence working" Liu's father said

"what is the yang essence's benefit to the pill you are concocting, isn't the pill supposed to be very cold" Liu questioned his father

"you'll see" 

Liu's father stirred the concoction and cover it , allowing the yang essence to heat up the whole concoction. After some time he went to it and take a plateful of the concoction, he took it to Liu and Trina

"prepare to burn your toungue, taste it and tell me how you feel" Liu's father request

"dad, I am not your experiment dog, go find a dog and test your yin yang pill on" Liu replied

Liu's father decided to test the pill on a dog instead

"don't worry master, as long as I won't die you can test it on me" Trina volunteered

"thanks Trin, it is very hard to get a test dog this days" his father replied gratefully

"Trina, this is a newly concocted pill, you never know how it will work, it kills sometimes" Liu warned

"don't worry Liu, master is here, I'll be fine" Trina assured

Trina receive the bowl of concoction from Liu's father, as he collected it the attributes appeared

" no, am not. Actually I have a little knowledge about medicine and I think this medicine is very advantageous. Master can I ask a favor" Trina said

"go ahead" Liu's father permitted

"if this medicine happens to be good can we be taking it every day" Trina asked

"Sure" Liu's father replied

Trina pour the whole concoction inside his mouth and he didn't feel uncomfortable

" it's good" Trina commented but recieved a new message 

[you drank the yin yang concoction]

[Status: Overdose]

[your body is nourished]

[ you earned level one immunity against fire and ice]

[Body Tempering authorization begins]

Trina fell on the ground immediately rolling to and fro

"I told you dad, it not that good" 

"we need to counter the energy to save him" 

[Bad environmental condition]

[Authorization failing]

New words appeared in Trina's vision as he kept rolling on the ground. Some part of his intestine begin to burn and freeze at the same time

"this is yin and yang energy father how will we counter it" 

" the yin and yang is having effects in his body, for him to survive, yin and yang have to be applied on his body to do they can compliment each other"

 Liu's father said and after thinking for a while

 "put him in the bath tub and fill it with enough water" 

he said and walk away while Liu carried Sean to the bath tub filling it with water till it cover Sean's body. His father brought a bowl of the concoction and poured it inside the bath tub, the water heat up

[good environment]

[Authorization Succeeding]

Trina have already fainted but he could still read the words in his vision

the water evaporated but Trina's body absorbed the yin and yang energy

Liu and his father repeated the process like three times more and as for Trina,  the authorization success keep falling and rising until Liu's father decided to pour the whole pot of concoction inside the tub without adding water

"what a waste of ingredients"Liu's father said sadly

The concoction starts drying up gradually, when Liu's father noticed it he pour more water, the water heat up and start to evaporate. Liu's father went to take the remaining liquid extracted from the aquarius leaf and pour it inside the tub, he added some ingredients which he used to prepare the concoction earlier into the tub and added water, the concoction filled the tub covering Trina's head but started to dry up again
