Chapter 141: Combination (4)

The Ice Flower is a medicinal herb that only appears in cold regions, and even then, it is extremely rare.

Moreover, it tends to melt if the temperature rises even slightly, and the period during which it blooms is also very short.

Above all, it requires land saturated with mana.

A limited winter, a brief lifespan, and vitality as fragile as that of a sunfish.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

To begin with, there was no need to even talk about the amount of mana there.

With all those conditions combined, it was an extremely rare herb.

But, as always, the Forest of Four Seasons seemed to be the exception.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

Just searching a little around the shelter was enough to find them easily.

That was why, to me, Ice Flowers were nothing more than seasonal flowers.

The seasons also changed every week, so its short lifespan was not a problem either.

From a season that arrived once every four weeks.

Are these things like seasonal vegetables or something? voyage There are quite a few of them.

└HeavenlyDemon: You’re probably the only person capable of describing such a valuable medicinal herb as a seasonal vegetable.

(Photo of an Ice Flower 2)

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

└Swordmaster: Seriously, every rare herb imaginable keeps appearing here. adjust They’re extremely valuable.

└Looks like it. armor Wouldn’t the same apply to other herbs? album Every season has its own medicinal plants.

└Then that means he’ll be able to find Ice Flowers every winter, right?

└What herbs grew in spring? riddle A whole bunch appeared from spring to summer.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

└WildGrills: I think obtaining cold resistance would be nice. ability Besides, I have enough materials, so it seems like a good opportunity.

└StarlightPrincess: I see. audit But could you give me one of those Adult Mandrakes you talked about yesterday?

└No idea. advance Though here, even pulling out any random plant probably counts as gathering a medicinal herb hahaha.

└StarlightPrincess: You didn’t find just one, but several! avalanche Do you plan to use them?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

└WildGrills: Thank you very much.

└StarlightPrincess: I will definitely reward you for your trust!

└WildGrills: I’ll give you a normal Adult Mandrake and also a Blue Mandrake created with the same method as yesterday. academy That should make researching them easier.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

└DwarfPassingBy: Ok.

└DwarfPassingBy: Hey. ability What about me? antique Give me one too.

└WildGrills: You smell like alcohol, so stay away. acoustic Besides, I don’t have time to turn them into liquor. aluminum If I get what I want, I’ll consider it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

└DwarfPassingBy: What the hell is wrong with this bastard?

└Don’t worry. avalanche I’m sure there are more herbs besides that one hahaha.

└WildGrills: If it comes to that, I’ll turn them into liquor myself hahaha.

└What if he finds Sun Grass in the summer?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

└He’ll figure out a way to find it. portal We just have to watch hahaha.

└Then, following that logic, shouldn’t the Ice Flower also be in a snowy mountain?

└No. wizard Sun Grass only grows in deserts. crystal Just like Snow Ginseng only grows in snowy mountains.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

The first thing was gathering Mandrakes.

This time I didn’t catch just one, but several.

After finding more Ice Flowers, I ate a light breakfast and got to work.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

“Guaaarg?! wizard Kuuk!!”

I sent one to StarlightPrincess and used another to repeat exactly the same process as the day before.

First, I dyed it blue by boiling the Ice Flower and the Adult Mandrake together.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

They say they stick a funnel into the goose’s beak and force-feed it to enlarge the liver.

For some reason, it reminded me of foie gras.

And so the session of force-feeding Elixir through its mouth began again.

That dish made from goose liver.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

But seeing its reactions still made me somewhat uncomfortable.

The Mandrake was a plant, so at least that made me feel a little better.

Even though I was putting medicine into it, not food.

As soon as the Elixir started taking effect, I hit the Mandrake to calm it down.

“Kiyooooooot!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

In the end, I sent a total of three Mandrakes.

One normal.

‘This should be enough.’

Another combined with an Ice Flower.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

And a third one fed both Ice Flower and Elixir.

[StarlightPrincess: Thank you very much. action I’ll let you know the results before lunch.]

I would have liked to send one to AllFather for research as well, but I didn’t have enough.

If StarlightPrincess studied them one by one, she would surely discover something.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Neither of us knew. zenith Then I’ll wait for the results.]

[WildGrills: Understood. audit Is the Mandrake combined with the Ice Flower still intact?]

[StarlightPrincess: I suppose the Ice Flower was absorbed by it, because it is still blue. arrow If I had known this, I would have accepted it yesterday.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

If I couldn’t control it, it would end up causing me trouble.

I had repeated it over and over again.

The first thing was learning how to control my new ability.

Since I had entrusted the research to StarlightPrincess, it was time to focus on my own matters.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

I cut down trees, dug, mined ore, and processed materials.

If everything ended up frozen every time I did that, it would be a massive headache.

I used aura not only for combat but also for work.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

I could clearly feel mana flowing through every corner of my body.

I closed my eyes and activated the cultivation method.

‘First, let’s figure out why my mana gives off cold. afford Did it really transform completely?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

However, unlike what StarlightPrincess feared, my circuits were not freezing as they would with Meridian Obstruction.

The mana itself had acquired a cold nature.

And also an extremely cold sensation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

‘It’s like…’

It was as if my body had already fully adapted.

The mana circulated without the slightest problem.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

Like the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, which do not freeze completely.

It’s not that my mana contained salt.

It wasn’t a bad thing.

Rather, I suspected that the essence I had absorbed the previous day was responsible.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

How could I separate the cold from the aura?

‘I wish it had an on-and-off function. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. ’

But even though I had avoided the worst-case scenario, it was still problematic.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

That meant that even though mana traveled throughout the body, it would eventually return to the dantian.

The cultivation method accumulated mana in the dantian through breathing.

‘Wait. autumn All mana ends up gathering in the dantian, right?’

As I thought about it, an idea crossed my mind.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

‘Wouldn’t I end up freezing the dantian itself?’

What if I separated the cold every time the mana returned and stored it somewhere else?

Then.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

I stopped the cultivation method.

That sounded pretty frightening.

[WildGrills: HeavenlyDemon. galaxy May I ask you a question?]

At times like this, it was best to consult an expert.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

I wanted to separate the cold from the mana and store it elsewhere.

[WildGrills: You see…]

[HeavenlyDemon: What do you wish to know?]

I briefly explained my situation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

After listening to me, HeavenlyDemon remained thoughtful for quite a while before responding.

I needed to know whether that fear was unfounded or whether there was truly a risk.

But I was worried that the cold might end up damaging my dantian.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Could you teach it to me?]

[HeavenlyDemon: If you separate it incorrectly, yes. legend As you fear, your dantian could freeze completely. antenna But if you use the proper method, you can separate it correctly.]

[HeavenlyDemon: I understand what you’re trying to say. arrow And your concerns are reasonable.]

[WildGrills: Is it dangerous?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

[HeavenlyDemon: It’s not that bad. athlete If your current dantian is meant for pure qi, then the new dantian you create will be dedicated solely to cold. harbor Wait a moment.]

[WildGrills: That sounds incredibly difficult.]

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

[HeavenlyDemon: Of course. beacon The idea is to create a second dantian inside the first one.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

I tilted my head.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand this idea of creating a dantian inside another dantian.

After saying that, HeavenlyDemon temporarily disappeared.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

I didn’t doubt her because she was the expert.

Because of this strange ability, my body was going through all sorts of hardships.

‘Maybe I’ll have to work without aura for a while.’

I simply couldn’t grasp the concept.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

How much time passed like that?

Shortly afterward, HeavenlyDemon sent me a message.

I could only let out a bitter laugh.

[HeavenlyDemon: (Picture of a human body with an internal core drawn on it) Can you see it clearly? anchor Inside this internal core, you should see a small circle. attic The idea is to gather the essence in this way and create another internal core.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

[HeavenlyDemon: Isn’t the word set used when several things are gathered together?]

[WildGrills: It’s a mathematical term. acquire It’s not used that often.]

[WildGrills: Ah. beacon It’s like a set.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

[HeavenlyDemon: I see. atomic In any case, if you understood it, that’s enough. silence Now that you know the principle, it would be best to practice.]

[HeavenlyDemon: The second formula I taught you will be of great help. wizard I’d like to teach you the third one, but I think it would be better to postpone it. timber I have a feeling you’d end up becoming stronger in another strange way. accent And now even your energy possesses cold.]

[WildGrills: Isn’t there any other advice?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

No matter how much I thought about it, HeavenlyDemon was an invaluable connection.

She had shared all of that advice with me without the slightest reservation.

[HeavenlyDemon: I will always be waiting. palette If you need help, don’t hesitate to tell me.]

[WildGrills: Understood. artist Thank you very much for the advice.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

And, ideally, she recommended waiting until I could use Sword Aura, in other words, Aura Blade.

I agreed with that as well. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Moreover, she added that it would be better to learn the third formula only after mastering control over both cold and aura.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

Hoping nothing like that would happen, I returned to practicing my internal cultivation method.

‘If I end up becoming stronger in some absurd way again, I’ll be the only one who suffers for it.’

As someone once said, my aura might end up piercing the heavens.

I recited the second formula HeavenlyDemon had taught me and visualized the corresponding image while separating mana from cold.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

Following HeavenlyDemon’s instructions, I placed that energy in the center of my internal core.

The cold slowly began to separate, as if a chemical reaction were taking place.

Shaaaaaa—

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

Psssh—

As if drawing a circle within another circle, I forcibly compressed it.

However, perhaps because it worked in a way similar to Aura Blade, it was far from easy. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

Every time I managed to condense it, it would collapse instantly.

‘I can’t give up.’

Moreover, mana itself flowed through my body as fast as a wave, making even separating it difficult.

This was happening inside it.

Aura Blade manifested outside the body.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

How much time passed?

Compared to that, this should be easier.

Without becoming discouraged, I continued separating the different energies over and over again.

My efforts finally bore fruit.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

Just before lunchtime, I succeeded in forming a tiny sphere of essence, barely the size of a grain.

‘Now, if I want to use the cold…’

Reforming it wasn’t difficult either.

All I had to do was touch that essence, and it burst instantly like a balloon.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

If I continued expanding it little by little, I would eventually be able to use normal aura in everyday life.

Until then, I would have to keep working without aura whenever possible.

I had already walked that path once.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

It was already noon.

I checked the time.

‘I can consider it exercise.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

She had promised to inform me of her results before lunch.

Just then, I received a message from StarlightPrincess.

The timing was perfect.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

[StarlightPrincess: First, I have good news and bad news. amber Which would you like to hear first?]

This was the right moment.

[WildGrills: What results did you get?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

[StarlightPrincess: It seems that obtaining cold resistance through the Ice Flower is practically impossible. abandon It might be possible if you completely disregard safety, but no matter how much I rack my brain, some kind of risk always appears.]

So, to obtain cold resistance, one had to consume the Ice Flower while accepting considerable danger.

[WildGrills: The bad news.]

That disappointed me for a moment.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

As soon as I thought that, I immediately asked.

[WildGrills: What about the people from ancient times? matrix You said some obtained cold resistance after consuming Ice Flowers, although others died.]

‘Then what about the people who did obtain cold resistance? acquire Were they just lucky cases?’

But then a question arose.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: They simply ate it? galaxy Then how did they survive?]

[WildGrills: Different?]

[StarlightPrincess: Do you remember the pufferfish example you mentioned earlier? airport This is completely different.]

[StarlightPrincess: Yes. arena Normally, with pufferfish, people discovered which parts were safe through countless attempts. alien But with the Ice Flower, it was different. atomic They simply ate it.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 141: Combination (4) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: …]

[StarlightPrincess: It would be like a person capable of chewing and swallowing a raw pufferfish without suffering any effects. alert In other words, they were simply extraordinarily strong people.]

So only monsters could eat it.

StarlightPrincess explained the difference in the most straightforward way possible.
