What Do You Mean I Have Nine Wives?
Chapter 15: Inscriptions and Arrays
Alfred was surprised, while Erena was ecstatic at her words. Their reactions were due to their personal feelings.
Alfred didn’t think she would know more than him, especially with his experience, while Erena just wanted to see him flourish.
Tyler’s eyes also lit up as he asked.
"What is it?"
Daisy gulped heavily upon seeing Alfred gaze and took a deep breath. She looked at Tyler and explained.
"There is a special technique in the storage unit of the Pavilion. It’s known as Flame Devouring Technique."
"It is a special acquired technique that can fundamentally change a person’s physique and slowly transform into an Inherited Technique."
"But of course, this requires a proper flame from Heaven and Earth. At this current age, finding such flame should be impossible."
"And, even if someone did find one, it would be impossible to sell it. But just three months ago, a certain individual had sold a unique treasure."
"It is known as ’Seed of Azure Flames’. This seed possesses the properties of the Azure Flames, and with proper nurturing, it can grow into a Heavenly Flame."
"The problem is that this nurturing process requires one to use their cultivation, which means the purest form of mana refined by the technique."
At this moment, she looked at Alfred, who nodded his head and explained.
"As you might know, the Mana Circuit is a closed construct in our body. Although it can release mana outside, it generally reserves the purest form of mana inside it."
"This is because Mana Circuit is the creation of the technique. To change it, to compress it, and to turn it into a Mana Pool Space, it needs that kind of energy."
"But once you reach the Treasured Body Realm, that purest form of mana would be released out of the Mana Pool Space in the form of True Essence."
"True Essence would temper the body and slowly dissolve in it. So, this seed can only be nurtured in the Mana Condensation Realm."
"With your three coins, you can access both of them."
Hearing that, Tyler tapped the table and said.
"But if I use the purest form of mana to nurture this seed, my own cultivation speed will decrease tremendously, wouldn’t it?"
Daisy nodded her head.
"That’s why those elders have not touched this treasure. They would rather find another method to nurture this flame than use this method."
Hearing that, Alfred spoke.
"Young Master, we can find a Yang Body method, and we already have a way to get False Dragon Body."
"There is no need to waste your cultivation time with this method."
Tyler understood his sentiment. After all, his talent was already bad, and this wouldn’t make the situation better.
But thinking about the Flame Devouring Technique, he couldn’t just let it go.
This method had a higher upper limit than any other method.
There were multiple types of Heavenly Flames in the world. Although they weren’t easy to acquire, he did have a chance.
If he could find those flames, not only would he gain three Inherited Techniques but also a higher level of Flame Body.
Taking this technique and seed would be risky, though. After all, he didn’t understand his background properly.
Revealing all three of those coins could invite hyenas.
So, the question was. Was it worth taking a risk?
Tyler’s eyes sharpened.
He was cursed with this tower and the fate of having nine wives. At any moment, he could turn into a pet for those women.
Love was something that needed to be nurtured. Those women wouldn’t just let him become their husband.
Especially since their ambition led them to be captured or make a deal with the tower to stay inside it.
Although this was just his guess, if it was right, those ambitious women would rather turn him into their pet than let him become their husband.
If he wanted to take control of his fate, he must get stronger.
Risk was always there. He just needed to get stronger.
"Alright! Daisy, get that seed and technique and deliver it to my mansion."
"Yes, Young Master!"
Seeing his serious look, Daisy couldn’t help but feel amazed. She knew he was trying to keep a low profile.
After meeting him for the first time and talking to the previous manager, she understood that his background was quite complicated.
Not just strong but also complicated. This meant he knew he was taking a risk. Despite knowing the consequences.
Alfred sighed. Tyler took out three coins and let Daisy scan them. After doing her job, Tyler stood up and said.
"Let’s go!"
Erena and Alfred followed him out. On the other hand, Daisy bowed towards him and said.
"I will visit you soon, Young Master."
——————————
"Are you worried, Alfred?" Tyler asked as he looked at his butler.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Alfred was genuinely worried, but he also knew he couldn’t stop his Young Master’s decisions.
"Alfred, if I back down, if I stop cultivating because of risks, then I might as well give up being a cultivator."
"You might think I am wasting my time, but you don’t understand my vision. That technique devours flame."
"Tell me, Alfred, what kind of power do Heavenly Flames possess?"
Tyler chuckled as he asked.
Alfred paused and let out a bitter smile.
"Indeed, your vision is truly big. Heavenly Flames are immortal. Even if they are extinguished, they can be reborn."
Tyler showed a sinister smile as he spoke.
"I don’t need to find the flames. I just need to get stronger and find the one holding the flames."
He quickly put away his sinister look and continued.
"But it’s better to search for untamed flames. So Alfred, don’t look at something with just one idea."
"That technique will slow down my cultivation speed, but it will speed up my cultivation once I get that flame."
He wasn’t worried about slow cultivation. He was only worried that he wouldn’t have a chance to cultivate.
These few days had been horrible for him. Every time he tried his cultivation, he would feel a large part of himself deteriorate.
This was caused by Yang Essence deficiency. His blood was losing potential, his cells were crumbling, and his vitality was being affected.
He would rather have a slow cultivation than no cultivation.
Soon, they returned to their mansion. Most of the city people didn’t recognize him, but the guards were aware of them.
After returning to their mansion, Tyler went to his room with Erena. He told her about his vision for the Grenade Business.
Originally, he planned to do it himself, but after realizing the problem with his current cultivation speed, he decided to ask for her help.
After all, Erena was at the peak of the Treasured Body Realm. And without proper resources, she couldn’t reach the next level.
So, he wanted her to get involved in this business, starting with learning Array and Inscription.
From what he learned, Inscriptions were basically unique symbols that were mastered by cultivators through learning about Heavenly Dao.
Inscriptions were symbols that could form a rhythmic bond with Dao, allowing cultivators to use different forms of power through these symbols.
For example, a Talisman maker could infuse Fire Symbol into the Talisman even if he wasn’t a master at the Fire Element.
After thousands of years of improvement, one didn’t need to comprehend Dao to get started with inscriptions.
They just needed to understand and comprehend the symbol itself.
The array was an inscribed formation. It was a system on which inscriptions could work.
If Tyler had to compare Inscriptions and Arrays to something from his previous world, it would be the CPU and the Operating System.
There could be different forms of Operating Systems like Arrays, talismans, and Runes.
On the other hand, Inscriptions were CPU with all of its processing units and commands.
Learning inscription required writing multiple symbols with perfect accuracy. He couldn’t take the time to learn all of these things.
So, he decided to explain everything to Erena and give this job to her.
After Erena understood everything, Tyler once again started his cultivation.
It didn’t go great. Having to lose a lot of his blood essence every time was painful as well.
Thankfully, three days passed in a short while.
During this time, Alfred had left the city to do his job. On this day, their mansion was visited by Daisy.
Her appearance was quite a shock for the people of the mansion. She wore a green dress that encased her body with tight curves.
More importantly, her big breasts and butt were truly harder to hide.
When she entered the mansion, Louis was drooling over her until his sister pulled his ear and took him to his room.
Daisy greeted Mary and Garvin with a smile and went directly to his room.
"Young Master, I’ve brought everything you ordered."
She walked in front of his bed, lowered her body, giving him a full view of her cleavage as she presented a ring to him.
