Assassin Dad and His Genius Daughter

As Ren Ye gripped the bottle tightly in his palms, he couldn't help but feel a cooling breeze under his feet as he heaved a relieved smile.

"I am accustomed to this feeling now. It used to feel like I was stepping on needles but now it feels rather calm and almost soothing to my soul." 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

Ren Ye commented emotionlessly as Old Yi nodded his head indiscernibly and chuckled indiscriminately, "A sign of good growth for a good constitution."

"Now, proceed forward by transferring the treasured liquid from your mouth into that tiny bottle," Old Yi responded with a deadpan expression.

"…"

Ren Ye was rendered speechless but proceeded forward as he opened his mouth toward the bottle and casually waited for the next order.

"Spit it out."

"…"

Ren Ye did as Old Yi had ordered and spit out his own salivas. He had expected it to be a rough drop of saliva but a glowing long line of string flowed out from his mouth miraculously.

It wasn't watery nor disgusting, it felt more like an exchange between auras.

Ren Ye felt somewhat strange and funny at the same time but he kept a serious expression all the way, he gave Old Yi a couple of side eyes to confirm if what he was doing is correct. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

Old Yi noticed the look and chuckled, "Almost done."

"Had this been your old self, I believe you would have killed me if this method somehow ends up being falsely made up by me," Old Yi continued to joke around as Ren Ye frowned.

After a couple of moments later, Ren Ye closed his mouth and deactivated Ice Body. He raised his eyes to look at the bottle that was miraculously filled with icy liquid, a refreshing fragrance wafted into his nose.

From the knowledge, he had received from Old Yi before. Ice Body was a natural provider for an owner as it was a rather versatile ability to own given that it was the first choice for every transmigrator of the same element.

"This could come in handy if I ever face an enemy straight on, I could just activate the technique and spit it into his face, causing their faces to freeze upon touch," Ren Ye replied in a sarcastic tone.

Ren Ye stopped talking as the atmosphere suddenly turned heavy and serious. With the bottle of Ice Entrancing potion, he finally came to complete the main mission given to him by the system.

This somewhat lifted up a burden off his shoulders.

He began to recall the process of advancing.

The first step is to use one root of the Blueroots Ginseng to brew hot tea. Although it sounded rather simple, the process of attempting to use this type of ginseng isn't easy.

Perhaps, it was living up to its name as a vegetable grown high up in the mountains, covered by desolate snow and coldness. Ren Ye grasped the understanding of this ginseng as he caressed his temples gently.

Another root shall be sold and used for other things, he specifically bought an additional one in case he was in need of one or his advancements failed.

It was extremely tricky for such a simple advancement!

Ren Ye played with the bottle of potion as his lips curled, and an idea popped into his head.

Fight fire with fire or shall it be, fight the cold with more coldness?

The Ice Entrancing Potion is versatile and capable of many things, Ren Ye will attempt to use it to force the Blueroots Ginseng to brew.

The idea sounded funny but it was logical inside his head.

It wouldn't hurt to try.

Although the requirement is to use only one, Ren Ye shall use one to brew a pot of tea. If it ever fails, he will attempt once more.

But currently, he had to be in the best condition.

"Will an ordinary pot be good enough?"

Ren Ye asked Old Yi a question he knew the answer to but he wanted to soothe his worries.

Old Yi chuckled deeply and nodded his head generously, "Any pot is fine."

Ren Ye raised his palm above his head and pulled down a bone china teapot from the system and laid them down on the bathroom floor.

He proceeded to grab an electric stove from over his head and laid them onto the ground.

Upon seeing this, Old Yi wanted to laugh at this overly prepared young man who appeared to have locked every single kitchen item in the pitiful and fully-stacked system

"You have prepared yourself well for this," Old Yi joked in a speechless tone.

Ren Ye didn't respond as he started boiling water and casually scanned the ginseng for any fakes he suspect Old Man Fan may have tried to do. Fortunately, everything had been prepared meticulously much to his relief. e a powerful being.

Old Yi chuckled as he sat down alongside him as watched casually for the water to start boiling, "Put the entire root into the pot."

"There's no need to do anything else."

Ren Ye shook his head, "The potion may be of use in keeping the quality."

As he said that, he shook the bottle playfully.

Old Yi nodded his head casually and noted, "The potion can be used to help assist in your advancement."

"It'd be ideal if you keep a couple of bottles of them in your inventory."

Ren Ye chortled bitterly and waved his hand dismissively, "Of course."

"Considering how easy it is to access this potion, I don't mind carrying dozens of bottles by my side."

After more than ten minutes of exchanging information, the pot finally came to a boil and Ren Ye could finally add the finishing touch.

He placed the ginseng into the pot entirely.

As if though it was a block of ice meeting with a hot sizzling fire, the reaction after he placed the root into the pot was extremely intense. The reaction produced sizzling heat, causing a haze to hover over the pot.

Ren Ye was satisfied upon seeing this as he gently pressed the ginseng, allowing it to be engulfed by the water.

The ginseng had a rather white-bluish appearance with long roots edging from its stem, it was average in small; its size resembled a human's finger.

Ren Ye watched as the water began to change color from its usual transparency to a transparent blue color, the smell was intoxicating as well. The smell was somewhat earthly, accompanied by a cooling intoxication that strokes a warrior's, cold heart.

Ren Ye shook his head and grabbed the Ice Entrancing Potion, waiting patiently for the perfect moment to pour the liquid into the pot.

The pot has to be lifted from the heat and the effect of the remnants from the ginseng to take shape before pouring the potion onto it.

Ren Ye felt a sense of excitement as he couldn't wait to exit from this weak state of his.

Raising the potion and using his accurate timing, Ren Ye quickly poured half of the bottle into a pot and casually waited for it to be over.

"It shouldn't take long before you could consume it," Old Yi curled his lips with interest, "The taste won't be as delicate as it smells though."

"At least it is better than having to be forced into drinking medicine syrup as a kid by your parents," Ren Ye added with a funny expression.

Old Yi chuckled deeply as he watched Ren Ye complete the last step; drinking it.

Ren Ye tested the heat by lightly placing his hands around the pot. He confirmed that the pot was still scorching hot as he turned to look at Old Yi with a strange expression.

"What will happen if I decide to drink it in one go?"

"…"

Old Yi was rendered speechless as he coughed awkwardly, "Is it possible?"

"For a mortal body and soul like you, it isn't something one would consider doing."

Ren Ye curled his lips into a smirk, "Apparently, I consider myself immortal."

Ren Ye grabbed the pot and chugged it down in one go.

"…"

Old Yi refuted, "What are you doing? Have you gone mad?"

The brewed tea made contact with Ren Ye's tongue as a strong bitterness spread across his mouth, it didn't burn his tongue or organs. It was somewhat quite cool despite the scorching heat of the pot.

The reason Ren Ye dared to do this was he was certain that the scorching heat wouldn't be able to affect his body anyway. Due to his chosen power; Ice Body, his body could be considered a human fridge when activated. Hence, he was extremely confident in himself.

Ren Ye swallowed down the last drop of tea before licking his lips with a somewhat sadistic look, "Mmh."

"I was only acting."

Old Yi's expression turned grave.
