Chapter 94: Pill Sales
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
After the crowd quietened down a bit, Cai Ping started speaking.
"Anyone who came to the last week's auction surely remembers the many pills that were sold towards the end of the show. The alchemist who made the pill had decided to sell the pills with us back then for the first time. At that time, we weren't able to reveal who the alchemist was, not because they wanted to rename unknown, but because the auction house didn't dare ask them for their name."
"However, after last week's sale, the alchemist was happy towards our auction house and decided to give us their nickname. The alchemist from last week will henceforth be known as 'White Wolf'."
"After last week's success, Senior White Wolf has brought us many pills to sell once more. To be exact, there are 135 pills in front of you folks right now."
Cai Ping stopped talking to listen to the crowd.
"Wait, that's all from one alchemist? Madam Cai, is that true?"
"No way! I thought they accidentally brought out their entire pills for today. That's just one person?"
"This White Wolf senior must have taken months to make these pills. The last week's sales was probably him just treading waters."
"Has anyone heard of an alchemist named White Wolf?"
The crowd kept on talking until someone said something that silenced the crowd for a while.
"Madam Cai, how are you going to sell those pills? It can't be you will auction each pill on its own, right? That would take forever." A person from a VIP room spoke.
Cai Ping smiled, "Yes, we have given some thought to that. Instead of selling the pills separately. We will be selling multiple pills as a batch."
"For the first batch, we have a Hundred Poisons Antidote, Minor Healing Pill, Qi Improving Pill, Swift Feet pill, and Body Warming pill. Each of these pills has exactly 32% Harmony. The bid will start at 40 spirit stones with 1 minimum spirit stone bid as increment."
"41 spirit stones"
"42 spirit stones"
People started bidding right away.
"Hmm… those are all common pills, but they are quite good. Someone must've really been preparing for months to sell them at this auction," Ma Rong commented from the side.
"No," Alex unknowingly blurted out while looking at the crowd below.
"What do you mean no?" Ma Rong turned around to look at him after hearing his remark.
Alex realized a little too late what he had accidentally blurted out and turned around to face his Master's eyes.
"I'm sorry for not telling you master, but I decided to auction the pills I made. Those are my pills," He said with his spiritual sense.
"Yours?" Ma Rong was shocked.
Since they started talking using spiritual sense, the girl behind them didn't know what was going on.
"Are you telling the truth?" She asked inquisitively.
"Of course, master. Why would I lie to you?" he simply said.
Ma Rong squinted her eyes and asked, "You made all those pills? when did you do that? the auction house stopped accepting items after Wednesday."
"I'm not stupid master. Of course, I submitted the items on Wednesday. " Alex acted as if he was being wronged.
Ma Rong then slowly asked, "So... how many days did it take you to make these? 8? 10?"
"Uhh… 4."
"What?" Ma Rong blurted out in her real voice. thankfully, the soundproof design of the room stopped other people from listening to him.
"You finished all of these in 4 days?" she then thought of something else and asked, " So, the reason you didn't register any pills was..."
"Uh, yes. I was collecting them to sell in the auction. I really wanted the spirit stones, so I decided to sell them." He let her know.
"It's your pills, so you can do what you want, but, Why do you want the spirit stones so badly? Do you want to buy something?" she asked.
"Uhh… " he didn't know how to answer that. 'Do I tell her I'm doing this for money? probably shouldn't.'
"Something like that." He simply sidestepped the entire question.
Slowly, the bid down in the hall started to die down and the batch of pills was sold for a total of 88 spirit stones. Alex felt that was quite good.
However, there was one thing that kept bugging him for the last few days, and it had been enhanced right now.
"Master, how much does a pill usually cost someone?" he asked.
" Well, that depends on the pill and its ingredients. When it's not in the auction, one would have to gather the ingredients by themselves. If you give the alchemist the ingredients, that would cost you as little as 5 spirit stones."
"However, if the alchemist finds ingredients on his own, that costs the buyer a lot. Just like how your auction for the pills is getting a lot of spirit stones."
The next batch of pills was being sold right now, and the bid had reached as high as 60 spirit stones already. Every single batch of pills had pills with higher harmony, so the bids were also getting higher now.
Soon almost all of the pills on the table were auctioned off. Only two pill bottles were remaining. The audience watched with anticipation as they knew whatever was in the pill was definitely something of high harmony.
Ma Rong always knew her disciple was talented, but getting a first-hand experience like this was a very surreal feeling. Alex on the other hand, had a big smile plastered across his face as he realized he had managed to gather about 27 True spirit stones by now. That was about 2700 common spirit stones.
Or in his real-life terms, he had just earned over 25 thousand dollars. And the final 2 pills were still yet to be sold.Novels online

Chapter 95: Priceless and Worthless
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
The staff members had taken away all but 2 pill bottles. Cai Ping picked up a bottle and said, "This pill bottle contains the Hundred Poisons Antidote. While we did auction off a few Hundred Poisons Antidote just now, this one gets to have its own time in the spotlight, because, it has a harmony of 40%."
A bunch of incoherent noises started appearing from the crowd as they whispered amongst themselves. Cai Ping waited for the noise to die down a bit before she started speaking once more.
"This pill is able to cure any poison below the True grade. So, the starting bid for this pill will start at 30 spirit stones, with 1 spirit stone minimum increase in bid."
The crowd started bidding for the pill. Even after this many pills, their enthusiasm for the pills had barely died a little.
Ma Rong looked at Alex and asked, "Did you make the 43% harmony Tiger strength pill after this pill? " she asked.
Alex was surprised. "You know about that pill, master? Oh wait, you must've seen what I registered. That was a pill I made 2 days ago. While this one, I made it on Sunday, so 6 days ago."
"Good. You are improving a lot. Make sure you don't get overconfident from just this and change your personality. While you are naive, people like naive fellows more than snobby ones."
Alex was relieved she didn't get angry.
The bidding ended with a person buying the pill for 63 spirit stones. Alex was quite happy about this. Managing to get 63 spirit stones just for a single pill was beyond his dream right now.
Then Cai Ping revealed his next pill. "This is the second-best pill we have today. However, the other one is a True grade pill, so I don't know if it even makes sense to compare them."
"This pill is a Healing Lotus pill. Anyone who knows about pills knows that this is one of the best healing pills of all the common pills, maybe even the best. This pill can even bring you back from death as long as you have a little life left in you. Diseases heal just like that if you take this peal."
"And senior White Wolf has not only provided us with such an impressive pill, but They have also managed to make this pill with an incredible 45% harmony."
Cai Ping made sure everyone heard that.
"45%? Did she just say 45%?"
"Oh lord. That is 5% away from becoming a Heaven grade pill."
"Can it be that this Senior White Wolf is a True Earth Grade alchemist, and he simply decided to grace us with some common grade pills?"
The shock the crowd showed towards the pill was way more than Alex had expected. They were acting as if 45% was a hundred times better than the 40% pill they just saw beforehand.
He looked back at his master, who was also slightly surprised.
"You keep on surprising me these days. You even managed to make a 45% pill?"
"Is it really that impressive when you already know I made 43% pill?" he asked.
"Of course. It gets harder and harder to increase the pill's harmony. A difference between 43% and 45% is about the same increase in difficulty as 10% to 18%. The higher the pill's harmony, the higher the difficulty. This just goes to show how talented you are."
Ma Rong cleared his confusion. 'No wonder the people are so shocked about it.'
The heated bidding war slowly came to an end as Alex's eyes widened by the final bid.
"139 spirit stones, going once."
"139 spirit stones, going twice."
"139 spirit stones, going thrice. Sold." Cai Ping slammed the gavel on the table. A staff member came out and took away the pill. Another staff came out with a small plate, hiding something rectangular, going by the shape of the silhouette.
"The next item on the auction is this book." Cai Ping unfurled the cloth to reveal an old, dusty, almost rotting book. The outer cover looked a little torn but overall the book seemed to be without damage.
Cai Ping held the book and showed it to the audience. The outside of the book had something written on it, that was visible even though the book itself was very dirty.
The letters seemed black in color but shined like they were made of gold. Cai Ping started by saying, "This book has the potential to be the best item we have ever sold in our auction house. However, it might also be the worst item we have sold as of yet."
Cai Ping stopped talking to create some suspense.
"Best item, yet worst item? What are you talking about, Madam Cai?"
"Yes, please explain, Madam Cai."
Cai Ping started talking once more. "This book was given to us by somebody who wished to remain unknown. This book is the family heirloom that they have guarded for thousands of years. According to their ancestors, one day, people flew down from the heavens and stayed in their tavern."
"Those heavenly folks didn't have money with them at the time, so they gave the tavern owner this book instead, and left back to the heavens."
"Within those thousands of years, many cultivators came and went in their family, yet not a single one could comprehend this book."
"Given to them, by what could only be immortals of the legends, yet unable to even read the book. This book is truly both Worthless and Priceless. If your customers can't read it either, It's the worst item we have sold yet. However, if you can read it, it's the best item we have sold yet."
"As such, we will first let you people check the book for yourself." A staff lady came out and took the book.
"We will pass it along to you all, so you can check. The people in the hall will have only 10 seconds to see if you can read the book. The people in the VIP will have 30 seconds to see if they can read the book. As for the ones in the VVIP, they will have a whole minute to check the book."
Cai Ping nodded to the female staff, and the lady walked down the hall passing along the book to the various people.Novels online

Chapter 96: Heaven's Impact
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
Cai Ping sold quite a few items as the dusty old book traveled from one person's arm to another's. Slowly, more than an hour had passed. Alex realized while he had probably earned the most from this auction in general if he counted individual prices, his pills came nowhere close.
The latest items were being sold at 5 True spirit stones at starting bids alone. By the end, most of them crossed 10 true spirit stones.
Cai Ping showed off the third to the last item for the auction today. She unfurled the cloth to reveal that it was a pill bottle.
"This pill is a Soul Reuniting pill, that was made by Hong Wu Sect's sect leader, Ma Rong. In case you do not know, the Soul reuniting pill is a True grade pill that can increase your chances of breakthroughs in the True realm by at least 3 fold at Mortal grade.
"At earth grade, it can increase your chances by at least 10 fold. "
"And at heaven grade, it can pretty much guarantee your success at breakthrough."
"This pill on my hand has a harmony of 48%. That means, whoever gets this pill, is guaranteed to move forward in their journey as a cultivator. For the starting bid, we will start with 20 True spirit stones, with a minimum increase of 10 common spirit stones. "
The crowd started speaking so loudly that Cai Ping didn't even manage to comprehend what the first few bids were.
"21 Spi…."
"21 spi…"
"22 spi.."
Someone would be half finished with their bids before the other one started. Alex on the other hand was just stunned at the harmony of the pill.
He turned around and said, "Master, You are more talented than me. You made a 48% harmony true grade pill."
"It's not talent. It's experience. Once you get enough experience, you will be able to do that as well." She said.
Alex simply nodded and turned around to look at the people climb over each other to bid for the pill. He finally saw how much people cared about their cultivation and how far they would go to increase it.
'Do people really have a lot of trouble for a breakthrough?' he wondered. He himself had never cared for it, as he always had a 100% chance of breaking through. In fact, he had to slow down, cause he was too good at it.
His master's pill was still being bid, and it didn't seem like it was going to stop anytime soon.
KNOCK KNOCK
The staff lady inside opened the door to let more of the staff in. Another lady appeared with a book on a tray. "Here you go, sect leader Ma," the girl spoke respectfully.
The dusty old book had finally arrived at the VVIP rooms. Ma Rong picked up the book and started reading it. At first, she had hoped to understand just a few sentences to see what the book was called and what it could do, but to her surprise, she couldn't even read a word of it.
The language was just too foreign for her. She flipped through the entire book, which was filled with words, to see if there was anything she could read. On the last page, she finally found something she could read, only to be disappointed by the fact that it was the family's message saying that it was their heirloom.
A minute had passed, so she gave back the book to the staff, who bowed and swiftly left the room.
She sighed and turned back to see how the auction for the pill was going. Suddenly, she saw Alex who was concentrating on something. He wasn't looking at the auction, that was for sure.
"Yu Ming? What's wrong? You seem serious." She asked.
Alex got out of his stupor and smiled as he said, "Oh, it's nothing master. I was just surprised that one could even use spiritual sense to attack other people. That was truly eye-opening."
"Use spiritual sense to attack other people? What do you mean? There is no way anyone can do that." Ma Rong said, wondering just where he got such an absurd idea from.
"Huh? But that's what Heaven's Impact does, right?" he said.
"Heaven's Impact? What's that?" she had never heard of such a thing. This just brought more confusion to Alex's face.
Alex smiled a little and said, "What are you talking about master? It's obviously the book we read just now."
"The book?" Ma Rong got confused for a split second before her eyes started opening wide. "Did you read the book just now?"
"Oh, was I not supposed to? I'm sorry. I only read the introduction page though, so I didn't really read it all." He said.
Ma Rong was shocked. "You read it. You can read that book?" she practically shouted at this point. Thankfully, the room was entirely soundproof other than when one was bidding.
"Of course I can, master. Can't you?" Alex was surprised now.
"No! Didn't you hear what the auctioneer said? No one can read the book?" she said.
"I mean, isn't that how all higher grade books are, master? Even you said it took you about 2 months to read the immortal technique. Maybe, the family members weren't as talented, so they took forever to read it."
Ma Rong was stupefied. Her disciple had completely misunderstood the difficulty of the situation here and done something seemingly impossible in her eyes.
"Yu Ming, Can you read that book?" she asked once more.
"Yes," Alex answered seriously, hearing the tone in her voice.
"Then you can read that language?" she asked.
"Language? What language?" he asked.
"Obviously the language the book was written in," Ma Rong started to get angry now.
Alex was surprised. "That book was written in a language? Aren't those just scribbled lines that are supposed to put information into your brain?" he asked.
"Of course not. Those are words you are meant to read and comprehend. That's how you learn a technique in the first place."
Alex was stunned. He quickly took out the Flickering Shadows book he had with him and showed it to his master. "Master, are you telling me these lines are a language too? And that you can understand them?"
Ma Rong was even more stunned as she said, "Of course that's a language. Are you telling me you learned the book without knowing the language?"Novels online

Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
"Master, are you telling me that people can read this language?" Alex asked while pointing to his book.
"Of course. Everyone can read this book, how else are we supposed to learn new techniques?" Ma Rong said.
"But, the writing on the walls and such don't have this language. Most buildings I've visited also don't use this language in their name. How can everyone read it if they don't even use the language?" He said.
"By everyone, I meant the cultivators. Every cultivator starts by learning this language. Since it's just our own language, just written differently, it's easy to learn. Only after that can they learn a cultivation method in the first place."
"So, why doesn't everyone write in the normal language then? One wouldn't have to learn this language in the first place." Alex said after giving it some thought.
"Oh, and what would you do if you come across some ancient texts written in that language? You can already see what is happening right now by people not being able to read that dusty book. What would happen if everyone stopped learning this language?" she asked.
"Hmm… I guess you are right. If that's how the language started then that argument is valid," Alex said.
"Now you get it. Besides, using 2 different languages helps separate a cultivator's text from a normal person's text. But let's forget about that for now. I want to know how you can read that text." She asked.
"I…" 'I can do it because the game developers made it so.' He wanted to say that, but he couldn't. "I don't know. I don't understand the language but can somehow read it. Same with our own language." He said.
Ma Rong couldn't make heads or tails of the answer, so she decided to give up for now and instead focused on her pill being sold. The soul reuniting pill sold for a total of 43 True Spirit stones.
The next item on the auction was an alchemy ingredient called Revitalizing Ginseng. Alex remembered the name from the records he had read on the top floor a few days ago.
"An ingredient for the Body Rejuvenating pill? But I thought those were pretty much extinct?" he said.
"You read the records too? Yes, they were said to be extinct, but it seems our information is wrong." Ma Rong commented.
Cai Ping started explaining the ingredient. "This ginseng on my hand is called a Revitalizing Ginseng. This is the main ingredient for the pseudo-Saint rank pill called the 'Body Rejuvenating Pill'. The pill is incredible, as it can increase a person's life span by an entire Century regardless of if you are a cultivator or a mortal."
"Oh wow. A 100 years?"
"That's a lot!"
"Can anyone really make that pill though? It's a pseudo-Saint rank pill."
"Maybe Hong Wu sect leader can make it, if not, we can ask the Royal alchemist for it."
Numerous people talked about the ingredient in the crowd. Cai Ping continued, "The auction will start at 30 True spirit stones, and each bid has to be 50 common spirit stones higher."
The crowd didn't bid as much this time. 30 True Spirit stones were a lot for most of the people on the ground floor. The people in the VIP however, bid as though their spirit stones grew in their home's backyard.
Alex watched as his master also bid. He had read the records so he knew how good the ingredient in front of him was. A mortal on average lived around 60 years and 100 years at max.
A self tempering cultivator however could live from anywhere between 100 to 200 years on average. Some even lived as long as 300 years.
A True realm cultivator on the other hand could easily live between 500 to 1000 years on average. Maybe even 1500 in some cases.
The Saint realm cultivator's life span wasn't recorded in the records but they were sure to be high in number. Just looking at that, to anyone who was a True realm cultivator or less, a Body Rejuvenating Pill would be a miracle. Especially when they were at the end of their life.
The bidding was quickly ended at the merchant head fatty managed to outbid everyone with his immense wealth. He bid 100 True spirit stones for the Revitalizing Ginseng and snatched it away from everyone.
After buying Ginseng, the fatty immediately walked out of his room and left the auction house. He wasn't a good cultivator so the next item was useless for him.
Quite a few people left the auction house, acting as if the auction was over. After a few minutes, only about 10% of the original audience was left. Most of them being in the VIP and VVIP rooms.
"Finally, here we go fellow customers. You have all checked the book, please bid whatever you feel this book deserves." Cai Ping said not expecting the people the bid at all.
"1 common spirit stones" someone bid as Cai Ping had not set a minimum bid. Cai Ping felt bad but didn't say anything.
"2 Common Spirit stones."
"3 Common spirit stones."
People started slowly increasing their spirit stones in the hope that they could get the book at a low price, and maybe sell it somewhere else for a higher price.
Suddenly, Ma Rong spoke, "10 True spirit stones."
The entire auction hall became silent. The people who were slowly increasing their bid hesitated as 10 true spirit stones was a lot of money. But then why would that person pay it?
The people in the VIP and VVIP rooms were confused as well, but they didn't bid either. Cai Ping on the other hand became grateful towards the guest in room B1.
She waited for a bit for others to bid, and when they didn't she started the countdown.
"10 True spirit stones, going once."
"10 True spirit stones, going twice."
"10 True spirit stones, going thrice. Sold" she hit the gavel on the table with a loud bang. "The final item in the auction has been sold to the Customers in Room B1."

Chapter 98: Back To Sect
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
Once the book was sold, Cai Ping thanked everyone for coming and waited as everyone left the hall. Ma Rong took Alex with her as the lady in the room guided them to a room outside.
After waiting for a while, an old man with white hair finally entered the room.
"Hello, miss Ma. It's good to see you again." He said as he bowed towards Ma Rong a little.
Ma Rong also nodded a little and said, "Hello senior. It's been a while, hasn't it?"
Alex took the opportunity to greet as well. The old man then proceeded to take out two bags of storage and handed them to Ma Rong and Alex. "Please check it," he said and sat opposite them.
Alex looked into his bag and realized there were about 27 True spirit stones and a few Common spirit stones. After taking their cut of the sale, this was what the auction house had given him.
Even after giving 10% of this to the Deva Corporation, he would still have about 25K dollars for himself.
"Take it," suddenly he heard Ma Rong say something from the side. "Hmm…" he turned around to see that she was holding the dirty old book in her hand, giving it to him.
"Me?"
"Yes, I bought it for you. So take it." She said.
"Thank you, Master." He said and gladly took the book. He read the introductory page and was still amazed that the writings on the book were languages that people spoke.
'Why would the developers change the language?' he wondered. 'If most mortals speak the real-life language, I don't think it was necessary to make an entirely new language right?'
"Let's go," Ma Rong started walking away, and Alex followed her as well.
Most of the people had already left the auction hall, so they didn't meet anyone while walking out. Ma Rong took out her flying boat and flew back to the sect along with Alex.
It had taken them nearly 3 hours in total, and Alex wanted to go get some food. He logged out for his afternoon lunch and returned back.
'Should I leave my dorm room, so I can have a flexible schedule for myself?' he wondered, but immediately shook his head. Being in a dorm room had given him the freedom to play whenever he wanted, and also the university was just 5 minutes away.
If he were to leave now, he would have a hard time balancing his university, home, and game time.
'Alright, let's send my money first.' He opened the settings and found a button that opened the bank's panel for him. He put in the information for his bank and saved it. Then, he pressed another button that opened a panel to transfer his spirit stones to the saved bank account.
He put in all of his spirit stones and hit send.
He clicked yes. The spirit stones disappeared from his inventory, and he logged out. He waited for a moment and heard a notification sound.
He quickly opened his phone to see a message on it.
<$25,600 has been successfully transferred to your account>
He kept staring at the number and was shocked. It had been less than a month since he came to the city, and he had already earned so much.
"I should buy my own helmet on a free day," he thought. He marveled at the money for a while and went back to the game.
He took out the dusty old book and started reading. For some reason, this book took him an exceptionally long time to read. Almost twice as much as the Immortal Grade techniques. He didn't know if the reason for that was the difference in language, the length of the book, or the fact that it was just that exceptionally hard to understand.
Still, after about 10 or so minutes, he fully learned it. He opened the description to the technique. For some reason, the information took a couple of seconds to load, instead of loading instantly like every other time.
[Heaven's Impact:
Grade: Heaven
Use your spiritual sense to hit your opponent's mind with a mighty blow. The greater the difference in mental prowess, the more the damage]
He wanted to test it out, but there was nothing he could try it on. This stumped him for a minute. 'I guess I'm not going to test it anytime soon then.'
He had nothing to do now, so he went to take some pills. There were still a few pills he could make today, and tonight he would have to get some ingredients from the alchemy garden to make the remaining 20 pills to be a core disciple.
He started making simple pills with the remaining ingredients for already made pills and went on to try out the new pills. He was already used to making high-quality pills, so every pill he made ended up having over 30% harmony with ease.
Around evening, he logged out to get his dinner and came back to the game to do his task for the night. He met elder Zhan and elder Wang and took the list for the ingredients.
He walked into the alchemy garden and got every single ingredient on the list as well as the ones he required for the pills he was going to register.
Between the two gardens, they had enough ingredients that he could use to make 7 of the remaining 130-ish pills he had recipes of. After handing the collected ingredient, he walked to the disciple hall. By now, his alchemy achievements had shot through the roof. While he wasn't in the top ten yet, at this rate it wouldn't take him more than a week to be at the top.
He went into the hall to the core disciple's section and registered his 3 new pills to the elder working there. Afterward, he returned to his residence.
"Alright! 7 more pills and I will become a core disciple as well."

Chapter 99: Spiritual Attack
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
Early in the morning, Alex woke up from his cultivation. He was tired from yesterday's auction, so he had decided to just cultivate for the night.
He opened his status to check his current Qi. He had about 1.6 million Qi right now. If he wanted to, he could easily break through to the Bone Tempering 9th Realm. But, that would be bad for his foundation as his cultivation base would be hugely destabilized.
The further one went, the worse it would be. He logged out to get some breakfast and came back. Just as he logged back in, his master arrived as well.
'Huh? Are we going somewhere today too?' he wondered.
"Come, it's time for our lesson." She said as she walked into a room that was not the alchemy room. Alex was more surprised now.
"Master, weren't we done with lessons? At least, until I was able to turn 50% of my current Qi into True Qi?" he asked.
"I am not here to teach you alchemy today. I'm here to teach you about the basic knowledge every cultivator should have, that you certainly don't."
"Let's start with language…" Ma Rong went on to teach him how to read the language for about 2 hours. She was confident he could learn it in two hours with his superior memory and mental strength.
In two hours, Alex was good, if not better than most of the cultivators out there in reading the language.
"Alright, take out that old book. Let's see if you can translate that book." She said.
Alex nodded and brought out Heaven's impact book. Ma Rong looked at the book and asked, "See if you can read it now that you know it's a language."
He tried to read it, but he couldn't understand a single word in the book. To him, they were just another piece of paper with scribbles on it.
"I can't master. I can't read it." He said.
"Hmm… didn't you say you read the introduction page?" she asked.
"Oh, that. I didn't exactly read it. It's more like after I look over it, the information just comes to my mind." He said.
Ma Rong frowned a bit. The book had an unknown origin, meaning if anyone could read these books, they might be able to use abilities not yet seen in the Crimson Empire. "Alright then, did you learn it?"
"Well, I did learn it, but…" he trailed off.
"But what? Is this not a technique? Is this something else?" she asked.
"Oh, no. This is a technique. It's only that I couldn't use it at all since I didn't have a target to practice on. So, I still don't know exactly what it does, only that it uses spiritual sense to attack another person's mind."
"Hmm…" Ma Rong contemplated for a moment and said, "Alright, attack me."
"Umm… are you sure master?" he asked.
"Yes, if it does in fact attack the mind, I'm confident that my mind is stronger than yours." She said.
Alex felt the reasoning made sense. "Ok, then, here I come master." He immediately started using the technique. He expected his Qi to start flowing as he started the technique, but to his surprise, they stayed where they were.
Instead, his spiritual sea started churning like crazy. Suddenly, a vortex appeared in the middle of his spiritual sea and quickly drained as a quarter of his spiritual sea dried up within a second.
All of the disappeared sea turned into a massive cloud of spiritual sense that started forming what he felt was a solid shape. They came together to form a fist, ready to launch outward.
He looked towards his master and regarded her as the target. Suddenly, the newly formed fist made up of spiritual sense flew out of his Spiritual sea and slammed right into Ma Rong's head.
Ma Rong had been waiting for the attack to arrive, so she had been monitoring with her spiritual sense. Suddenly, she felt something move near her disciple. And out of nowhere, it struck her head.
Ma Rong felt her consciousness die for a moment as everything around her dimmed to the point she couldn't see anything. Her body went limp without the control of her mind and started falling to the ground.
Within mere split seconds, she caught herself from falling and stabilized herself. Her breathing had gotten disorderly and there were traces of fear in her eyes.
"Are you okay, master?" Alex asked as he was worried that she might have been hurt.
"I- I'm fine. I'm fine." She was shocked at just how strong the attack was. Even without considering the difference in their cultivation, she had more than twice his mental strength, yet she had lost consciousness for a second there.
That went to show just how terrifying this ability was. "How is your spiritual sense? Any changes?" she asked.
"Changes? No, but I did lose a quarter of my spiritual sea on that attack." He said.
"I see. Well, it only makes sense for you to do so much damage if you had to use such a high amount of spiritual sense. Don't worry, after mind tempering realm, you will have a much stronger mental strength and can easily use that technique multiple times." She reassured him.
"Mind tempering realm? I understand master." Alex was looking forward to growing stronger as a cultivator now.
"Alright then, try and see if you can somehow understand the language there. It will help me as well if I can understand that language. As for alchemy, how many pills do you have yet to register?" she asked.
"7, master." He said.
"Alright. Do what you want for now. I will return back around noon to continue our lesson." She said and walked away.
Alex was just happy that his master was investing so much time in him. He was looking forward to seeing what his master would teach him now that she was done teaching about the languages.
"I guess I will have to wait and see. For now, let's go get some lunch." He logged off.

Chapter 100: Master's Lessons
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
Ma Rong came back at noon, exactly on the dot, and spent the next 3 hours teaching him the various things one would have to know as a cultivator. She taught him from the smallest things such as what a cultivator should and should not call each other to things such as the different cities and the powerhouses in them across the Crimson Empire.
She taught him about the Royal Fu family and Fu Tian, the King of the Crimson Empire. She taught him how the royal Fu family sent its descendants around the empire to rule as city lords and ladies.
She also gave him a map of the crimson empire to learn and memorize where all the cities were relative to one another.
She also taught him about how a cultivator fought. Some fought with weapons, some fought with their bare hands, some fought using impressive techniques, some fought using poison, some fought using beasts, some fought using bugs, some fought using formations, some fought using talismans, some fought using weird artifacts, and some even fought using pills.
She also taught him about the other production methods aside from the alchemy itself. Some made formations, some made artifacts, some made solely weapons, and some made talismans.
"The last thing, make sure to hide your true talents in front of others. Like I said before, people are envious creatures. Cultivators are no different either. They will betray you the moment they learn you have something they don't. It won't matter to them whether they can obtain it or not, if they can't have it, no one can."
"You are young and you are pure-hearted, but that heart will for sure dye in the filth of the world of cultivation. Make sure you never let that filth stick to yourself. You might get drowned in it, but you have to learn to climb over it."
"For that, you can't just be an alchemist and hope to live in the cultivation world safely. There are strong people out there with bad motivation that might force you into working for them if you aren't strong enough to defend yourself. So, you have to be strong, strong enough to fight off your enemies. I wish you never have to kill anyone, but I know you will have to, even if it's just to defend yourself and your loved ones. The only thing I can do is hope is you don't lose yourself along with your enemies."
"Alright, that's enough for today. You don't have to worry about all these things right now but keep it in mind. I taught you almost everything I could. There are many things I still haven't taught you but that's just because I am not too knowledgeable in them either. You will hopefully learn them soon."
"I'm leaving now, you do what you have to." Ma Rong left the room and walked outside. She took out a medallion and used her spiritual sense to send out a message to all the elders saying, "Starting tomorrow, all the elders who used to work on the alchemy garden are to go back to working on it."
The elders got confused why the sect leader would do that, but they accepted them anyway.
Alex on the other hand remained stunned in his home. He had learned a lot today, yet the final words of his master were what remained to playback in his mind.
'I will have to kill people.' He didn't question the statement and took that as a fact. He knew that was true. After all, this was a game and killing was just an aspect of it. Still, for some reason, killing people wasn't something he would look forward to.
He spent the next few hours absorbing the information his master had just gave him. After he was done learning everything, he left the game to get some dinner.
After dinner, he came back and went to the sect valley to work. This day, he hadn't got the time to make any pills, so he wasn't going to register any. After finishing his work, he went back to his residence and managed to make the 6 different pills throughout the night.
After today's lesson, he didn't have the mental energy to make any more so he just cultivated throughout the rest of the night. In the morning, he logged out of the game and stayed logged out to do some of his classwork.
He only returned back to the game after his classes were over. After logging in, he looked at his storage bags and realized he only had one more pill to go. He was feeling unusually fresh today, so he went on to finish the last pill.
Ma Rong came to his house at around 4 pm. She walked in and sent out her spiritual sense to find him in the middle of alchemy. She walked into the alchemy room to see his absolutely focused face carefully looking at the cauldron.
After a few minutes of intense concentration, he finally opened the lid and a pill flew out of it. As he pulled the pill out, he slumped in exhaustion.
The pill that had just formed was blood red in color and used blood ginseng as its primary ingredient. It was called the Blood Improving pill. It was a common rank pill that would instantly refill a person's blood after they have lost a lot of blood. Or if they did already have blood, it would thicken it and invigorate it with more strength.
This pill was especially important to people in their old ages or people with anemia, as it would counteract their loss of blood and give them a much-needed boost in stamina.
Alex looked at the blood-red pill in his hand and felt its aura. Just the smell alone nearly brought him out of his fatigue, while the aura was something he had never felt before.
He focused on the pill to look at its information as a small panel popped up on top of it.
[Blood Improving Pill: 50%]
He had just made his first Heaven-grade pill.

Chapter 101: Leaving
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
"Hahaha hahaha," he started laughing like an idiot. Ma Rong could already tell that the pill had a high harmony, still, she walked in to test it.
Alex looked at her and said, "Oh, hello master. I didn't see you come in." He got up from the ground and dusted himself off.
Ma Rong had already taken out a pill tester and brought it forward. Alex didn't question anything and just put the pill directly into the pill tester.
Ma Rong watched as the fog slowly rise up. She had expected it to cross 40% and wasn't surprised when it did. As she watched the fog slowly rise up, more and more until it stopped at 50%.
"Heaven! You made a Heaven grade pill!!" she involuntarily let out a loud shock.
"Yeah. I got lucky for the most part, but yes. Getting fresh ingredients also helped a lot." He said with a smile.
Ma Rong didn't say another word as she kept on looking at the pill and only spoke after a while, "It took me until I was an elder before I made a heaven-grade pill, yet you made it in just under a month. This is way too shocking."
Alex didn't reply, but instead asked a question, "What are you doing here master? Are we going to have another lesson?"
"Hmm… No. Did you forget what day it is today?" she asked.
"Today? It's Monday of course. Was something supposed to happen today?" he was a little confused.
"Did you forget what you said 2 weeks ago?" Ma Rong asked.
"2 weeks ago?" he started thinking. His perfect memory only went back until the Wednesday before the last one, so he needed to think a bit to remember.
"Oh, wait. Tiger sect. Am I going to Tiger Sect?" he asked, finally realizing what she meant.
"Yes, I'm here to take you to the Tiger sect right now. Come with me." She said as she started walking out.
"Master, the pill?" he asked, stopping her in her tracks.
Ma Rong only then realized she was still holding the pill tester. "Oh right," she quickly took out a pill bottle and put it back.
"Here," she handed him the pill back. Instead of taking it, however, he brought out 6 other pill bottles. "Master, take these. Please register them on my behalf when you have the time. I won't be able to now that I'm leaving for Tiger sect."
Ma Rong checked the pills and realized all of them were some of his best products. "How many more pills do you have to make?" she asked.
"None. That was my last one." He said pointing to the blood-red pill.
"Alright then, after you come back from the Tiger sect in 2 weeks, you will have to take the core disciple test." She said and kept the pills. She then gave him a storage bag.
Alex took the bag and found out it was full of different types of healing pills. "What's this for master?" he asked.
"You will need them if you are going to the tiger sect. Especially since you won't have Wen Cheng's protection for about a few weeks." Ma Rong said.
"Not have master's protection? I don't understand, Master."
"Basically, Wen Cheng wants to keep your relationship as a secret for a few weeks. That doesn't matter right now, Wen Cheng will explain to you most of the rest." She then took out a set of bluish-gray robes that were very plain to look at.
"Wear these for now," she threw the robes at him.
Alex quickly changed into his new plain robes and walked outside with her. "Master, I can go by myself if you are busy by the way." He said.
"Nonsense. Come on, I'm taking you there." She said as she took out the flying boat and got on top of it.
"Master, do you really need the boat now that you have spiritual sense?" he asked.
"Not really, but it is still easier to use, and I'm used to it." She said and gestured for him to climb up. Alex jumped onto the boat and the boat set off.
"Alright, listen up. I talked to Wen Cheng, and we decided that you need to learn to confront a normal sect on your own. You will enter the sect as a normal disciple and rise along with the ranks the normal way. Also, this might be the chance for you to breakthrough in your cultivation, so make sure to properly cultivate every night. "
"Wen Cheng will teach you the rest. While I may not like admitting it, he really is a good teacher. Both of his disciples are the best Tiger sect has produced in a while." Ma Rong talked a lot but somehow didn't give out a lot of information.
"Alright, go invisible," she said and watched Alex disappear in front of her eyes. "Oh yeah, one more thing. You are not allowed to use the invisibility technique or the Flickering Shadows technique during your fights. Only use them in training, or when you spar against Wen Cheng."
Alex couldn't understand why that was, but it probably had something to do with hiding his talent and abilities. His master did say it made people jealous.
"Here we are, Jump down and reappear in an alley. After that just go to the sect gate and tell them your name and that you are a new disciple of the sect. They should know that someone like you is arriving."
Alex nodded and did as she said. "Goodbye master," he said and jumped down, slowly floating his way down. After landing, he went to a nearby alley and appeared from the other side finally visible.
He walked towards the north side of the town looking for the gate to the sect. When he finally found it, he was shocked.
He had been expecting a big gate with no other building in the vicinity. But instead, the Tiger sect's gate was actually a small bustling market on its own.

Chapter 102: Inner Sect Disciple
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
Alex was shocked that the entrance to the sect was actually a bustling market. He saw some shops that sold alchemy ingredients, some that sold weapons, some sold general artifacts, some sold talismans, and some even sold formation flags.
'What is going on here?' he wondered. Most of the customers in this market were disciples of the Tiger Sect with their yellow robes and either green or blue linings.
'Blue, I think was Inner sect disciples, right? So green has to be the outer sect. Was senior sister's red-colored lining for core disciples?' he wondered.
He walked past the many disciples and finally saw a small but expensive-looking gate. The gates had two pillars with a statue of a mighty tiger in a mid striking pose on top of both the gates. Between the two pillars was a massive curved board that had the words, 'TIGER SECT' written on it.
Alex walked past the gate and was immediately stopped by a man in a yellow robe with silver linings. 'Elder?' he thought.
"Stop right there. Who are you, and what are you doing here?" the elder inquired.
"Ah, hello. My name is Yu Ming. I am a new disciple of the Tiger Sect. I was told that you guys would know about it." He said.
"Hmm… Yu Ming?" the elder quickly checked his notes and exclaimed, "Ah, yes. We are waiting for you. Come with me." The elder took him to a building right next to the gate and knocked on one of the doors inside the building.
"What is it?" a sound came from the inside.
"Leader, the disciple named Yu Ming is here." The elder said and waited.
"Come in." The elder opened the door and walked it. Inside the room, was a very young man sitting on a chair. He had short black hair and was wearing an elder's clothes. As for his age, he was barely in his late 20s.
'Such a young man, and he's already an elder? He looks way younger than even martial uncle.' Alex thought.
"Leave," he commanded and the other elder left. "So, you are the new disciple huh." The young man said.
"Yes, Elder," Alex replied. The elder stopped for a second but continued as if nothing happened. "Hmm… Bone Tempering 3rd realm huh. He did say you were around this cultivation stage. That means you will directly become an inner sect disciple."
The elder took out a couple of things from his bag and handed it to Alex. "Here are 2 sets of clothes, and this is your badge." Alex took the clothes and kept them in his bag. As for the badge, he looked at it and just saw a big number '2608' written on it. He tried to scan it with his spiritual sense and realized it had a formation plate inside of it. But unlike a nameplate, he couldn't access it.
The elder then began to explain, "Tiger sect is different from Hong Wu sect. The alchemists are a bunch of pacifists who only hole up in their homemaking pills. In the Tiger sect, everything depends on your cultivation and fighting strength. You are currently the lowest-ranked disciple in the sect."
"However, you can go challenge anyone in the top 275 that is not in the Bone Tempering realm and get their homes for free. I suggest you go for the person at 275 so that it's an easy win and you don't need to go through a lot of trouble today."
"In Tiger sect, the disciples are separated into Outer, inner and core disciples based on their Cultivation base. Anyone with cultivation can automatically become an outer sect, anyone with Bone tempering realm of cultivation can become an inner sect, and anyone with Meridian Tempering realm can become a core disciple."
"There is a maximum quota of 50 core disciples, 225 inner sect disciples and the rest are outer sect disciples. Depending on your rank, and the strength of other disciples, you can be a disciple with high cultivation base and still be an outer sect disciple."
"Also, I don't know why, but I was told to give you this." He took out a normal-looking sword. "It's a Common mortal-grade sword that doesn't even have a name. From now on you are to use this sword to fight."
Alex was surprised. 'How often do I have to fight in this sect?' he wondered. "Now go and settle or fight. Here in Tiger sect, we do whatever we want."
Alex was stunned as he was sent away. The elder didn't give him a single piece of information about the sect itself. 'Where am I supposed to live? I don't even have a map,' He thought.
After he left the building, he walked a little further to see a massive mountain. The mountain wasn't very tall, but it was very wide. He saw thousands of houses on the mountain and a single pathway up the mountain. Many disciples were walking up and down the mountain.
He walked up the mountain and saw the houses had numbers. "Hmm… 2138" he walked to the right of the house and saw the next house had the number 2139. "Oh, so we are supposed to live in these houses huh. Since I'm already an inner sect disciple, I should do what the elder said and challenge someone in house 275.
It took him a while to understand the logic behind how the houses were named. From the ground to the top of the mountain, there was only a single path. However, every time the path crossed a line of houses, there were another 2 paths spawning from the original path, that circled the mountain.
The lower the base a house was, the higher its number was. Alex immediately started walking upwards, skipping tons of houses.
Finally, after skipping dozens of lanes, he reached the lanes where the houses were numbered in the 200s. After searching for a while, he found a house numbered 275. He scanned the house using his spiritual sense and found that no one was inside.
Alex was puzzled as to what to do next.

Chapter 103: Fighting Hall
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
Alex looked at the house carefully. It seemed to have been made out of brick and mud mostly, yet had a moderately large wooden board on the outside.
'That's a weird choice for a design,' he thought. He looked around thinking what to do next.
He then saw a person walking on the road outside and stopped him. "Hello brother, I'm new here. Do you mind telling me how I can find the owner of this house?"
"New?" he looked at Alex's cultivation base and realized he was just as strong as him. "If it's for challenging, just go to the fighting hall and challenge him. Unless he is out of the sect, you can fight him for the house."
"Oh, and where is the fighting hall?" Alex asked.
"Take this road straight around the mountain, and you will find the fighting hall in the sect crater." The man left after saying that. Alex decided to follow what the man was saying and followed the path that went around the side of the mountain.
After a few minutes of walking, he went past the mountain, coming up on the other side. When he looked down on the other side of the mountain, he was surprised.
"He wasn't kidding when he said crater." In front of him was a massive crater on the back half of the mountain. The crater had reshaped the mountain to have a crescent shape on the backside, and the paths that went around the side, all joined eventually to go down to the crater through either of the two narrow parts of the mountain remaining.
Alex walked down to the crater and was shocked at just how large it was. The crater, just by itself, was about twice the size of the Hong Wu sect's sect valley.
'What could have fallen here to have caused such a large crater?' he wondered. Even a saint realm monster only made a 20 meters wide crater. For something to make such a big crater, it would have to be very large or very powerful.
He walked into the crater looking at the different buildings. Surprisingly, there were very few buildings here. What there were a lot of were fighting stages. Everywhere he turned his head to, he could see two disciples fighting each other with an elder staying as a referee.
He finally found a building named Fighting Hall. He saw at least a dozen different lines of disciples outside the hall. He asked the person in front of him how he should go about fighting someone, and the person simply pointed towards the wall behind the elders recording the fight requests.
'Oh wow, that's quite a comprehensive list of rules.' He thought. He read the rules and was surprised just how much fighting was allowed in the sect.
A disciple could challenge 10 times in a day, and could also be challenged 10 times a day. Unless the disciple was out on leave by the authority of the sect, he would have to fight every single one of the challenging battles.
Every Monday to Thursday, one would have to finish their fights by 9 pm. On Friday and Saturday however, there was no limit to how much someone was challenged. But also, one didn't have to end all of their fights at all. But, if they went an hour without fighting, the match would be automatically forfeited.
Sunday was the only day of rest for these people and nobody was allowed to challenge anybody. This was his first day today, so he was exempted from the rules, but starting tomorrow, he would have to fight this way too.
Finally, when his turn came, he took out his badge and handed it to the elder, and said, "275". According to the rules, one could register a fight with someone based on their names or their badge number.
The elder was surprised to see a number difference between the number in the badge and the number of the opponent. But when he looked at Alex's robe, he understood.
The elder quickly registered the fight and took out a medallion from his bag to transmit something. "Go to stage 24 and wait for your opponent to arrive. If he doesn't arrive by 9 pm, you win."
Alex thanked the elder and searched for stage 24. It didn't take him long to find the stage as there were numbered stones in front of the stage.
He waited outside the stage and watched the people in front of his fight. Most of the people used swords or spears, while very few liked to fight hand to hand. He didn't see any of the other types of fighters his master has told him about.
Many people came and fought. The elder would call out his and his opponent's number from time to time, but only he would respond. His opponent was nowhere to be seen.
Once again another fight ended. The elder always took the disciples badged before they fought and gave the lower numbered badge to the person who won. 'What exactly is the benefit of having a lower-numbered badge aside from getting to live in the inner set disciple's area?' he wondered.
"Number 2608 and 275"
"" Here"" two sounds came out at the same time. One of them was Alex, while the other one belonged to a 20-year-old man with an elongated face. The man looked towards Alex and was shocked. Hearing the number, he had expected an outer sect disciple to try out his luck at the lowest-ranked inner sect disciple. But when he saw Alex in his inner sect clothes, he was shocked.
Alex looked at the man and realized he was in Muscle Tempering 5th Realm. 'So weak?' he thought.
Both of them walked up to the stage and handed their badges to the elder. The elder too was surprised to see Alex wearing inner sect disciples' clothes, but said nothing about it.
Alex wasn't sure how exactly to fight this person. His only fighting experience till now had been with the monsters in the forest, and those were the ones he killed. He couldn't even hurt his opponent badly here, much less kill them. He was in a real dilemma now.
"Fight"

Chapter 104: Black Stele
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
"Fight," the elder shouted. The young man immediately got into a fighting stance with a blue shining sword in his hand. Alex took out his new unnamed sword as well.
Not knowing what exactly to do, he waited for his opponent to start the fight. As soon as his opponent charged at him, he started using his Focus mode.
Suddenly, everything around him started to slow down. The blue light from his opponent's sword got much brighter as he saw both fury and despair in the young man's eyes.
Alex easily sidestepped the thrust and used the flat side of the blade to hit the man on his back. With a cultivation base higher than his opponent by an entire minor realm, his force was enough to make the man fly out of the 20-meter wide stage.
Alex looked at where the man had gone to and turned around to look at the elder. He didn't know the rules to a fight and was wondering if going out of the stage was considered a loss or not.
Once the elder gave the signal for the match over, he walked over to the elder and got the badge with the number '275' on it. The other man was already standing up and walking towards the elder to get his new badge. Seeing how low it was, he immediately got in the line outside the fighting hall to fight some higher opponents.
Alex on the other hand didn't know what to do. He didn't want to immediately fight after coming to his new sect, so instead, he walked around the sect looking at the different buildings.
There weren't a lot of buildings. There were only 4 buildings there, aside from the Fighting hall. They were a Training hall, a library, a disciple hall, and surprisingly a production hall. He hadn't expected a sect focused on fighting to have a dedicated hall for productions. He learned that one could produce talismans, artifacts, and pills in there.
'At least there is a place here where I can practice alchemy,' he thought.
Almost all of the other places in the sect crater were just fighting ground, except for one. At the very center of the crater, there was a massive black stele with texts on it that shined iridescent colors.
Alex tried to read the texts but realized he couldn't understand them. The text didn't belong to the language the mortals used or the ones cultivators used. 'Can it be?' he wondered and compared the text to the one in the Heaven's Impact book. They were the same.
"What a coincidence. I hope this is another spiritual technique." This type of text required him to read with a spiritual sense for some reason, so he decided to do so. He tried to use his spiritual sense to read it but he suddenly felt something attack his spiritual sea. He immediately brought back his sense and crouched on the ground with his hands around his head.
It hurt him like crazy. "Arghhh… What was that?" he thought. It took a while before the pain in his mind subsided and he realized he had lost all of his Spiritual Sea. It was totally dry.
It would take some time to restore, but if he hadn't reeled back his senses in time, he would have taken some real damage. He felt his forehead brimming with sweat as the fear started to die down finally. He looked towards the black stele once more with some remaining fear in his eyes.
'Screw this,' he thought and went back to his new home. It took him a while to return back to house number 275. Once he finally did reach it, he was confused as to how to open the doors.
He looked around the doors for a second but didn't find anything. So, he started using his spiritual sense to check for any locks. Suddenly, he noticed a formation plate inside the wooden board outside the house.
'That looks similar to the one on my badge,' he thought. He took out his badge and placed it near the wooden board.
KADAK
The door opened. He walked inside with his badge and pushed the door back and heard it lock back. Now that he was inside, everything inside started lighting up.
The house was fancy with multiple lanterns, but in the end, it was still just a single room. He sat on the bed and looked up. Suddenly, his eyes went wide.
On the wall in front of him, there was a large wooden board that had many names on it. He counted them and realized there were exactly 274 names in there. 'Everyone that is higher than me?' he wondered.
He memorized the names starting from the top. When he looked at the name on the top, he was surprised. "Well, I shouldn't be, but it's still surprising."
The name in the first place was Luo Mei. He also found another name he knew, Meng Yun, around 112. 'Wasn't she in the 7th realm of Bone Tempering back when I met her? Wonder how much stronger she has gotten.' He thought.
"hmm..." he was shocked to see a few names that just didn't match the other names in the list. "Lucy, David, Adam... " he started reading a few more names in the list.
"These are Players? Wow, I didn't think I would meet one here. Hong Wu sect has none of them." He was finally in a sect with players.
It was time for his dinner, so he logged out to get some food. He returned back to the game shortly after and realized something was different in the room.
The wooden board that had names on it was now blank with a bit of dim light around its edges. There was a black circle on its bottom left corner about the size of a small bowl.
'What's that?' he decided to check with his spiritual sense. Suddenly, he realized that behind the wooden wall was a massive metal plate that has the formation scribbles on it. While next to it was a smaller, circular metal plate, very similar to the one outside.
He walked up to the board and placed his badge on it. Suddenly, the light around the wooden board died and a bunch of texts started appearing on the wooden board.
"Come to the top of the mountain, behind the sect leader's building. Try not to be seen by other disciples if possible, since I want your existence to be a secret for now. I will wait for you— Master"

Chapter 105: Training
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
"Oh, Master sent me this message," he said as he read the message on the wooden board. He took the badge off of the wooden board and the message disappeared.
Alex walked to the door and placed his badge on the wooden panel next to the door.
KDAK
The door opened once more. He sent out his spiritual sense to see if there were anyone. After confirming there were none, he turned invisible and activated his Immortal Concealment technique. Once he was basically untraceable, he left the house.
He went onto the main path and started walking upward. Quite a few disciples were walking around, but he managed to pass them without being noticed.
He looked straight at the top and saw a giant building. 'Is that master's building?' he wondered. He walked there without any distractions. After reaching the building, he went through the building to the back.
"Oh, wow" he looked down the mountain to see the sect crater fully lit up, looking extraordinarily brilliant. A person was sitting cross-legged on a giant rock nearby looking at the sect crater in a daze. He seemed to be in his late 40s with a scruffy beard.
The night was dark, but Alex could see the golden linings glittering brightly in the otherwise pale yellow robe.
Alex sent out his spiritual sense to see if anyone else was around, and dropped his invisibility and concealment after not noticing anyone.
"Master, I'm here," he called out to Wen Cheng sitting on top of the giant rock. Wen Cheng looked at him, surprised.
"You arrived much faster than I expected. You didn't let anyone see yourself while coming here, right?" he asked.
"Yes, master. No one saw me."
"Alright, come with me," he took Alex to a lone standing room away from the main building. It looks dirty from the outside, but when he walked in, he was surprised at how well kept it was.
The walls were white all around, while the floors were metallic. He looked at the weird carvings on the floor and asked, "Is there a formation here as well?"
"Yes, there is a formation set to the room that absorbs all sort of energy from escaping the room, including sound energy. So we can practice as much as we want without anybody noticing."
He then turned around to Alex and asked, "So, How did you like the sect? is it better than Hong Wu Sect?"
"It's not bad. although I will have to check it for a little bit longer, but this seems like a good place," he said. They talked for a little longer before Wen Cheng decided it was time to train.
"Alright, are you ready? We will be starting with the basics now. What do you use most? Swords, spears, or some other weapons?" Wen Cheng asked.
"I have a sword that I use, but I'm not a swordsman so I can train in other weapons if need be," Alex said.
"Hmm… since you have that True rank sword, I think it will be better to teach you in sword fighting. Did you get that normal sword I asked Liu Xun to give you?" he asked.
Alex took out the normal sword he got from the young leader of the guards today and showed it to Wen Cheng.
"Alright, let me see how good you are. Come attack me." Wen Cheng said as he got into position.
"Attack you? With the sword?" Alex was surprised. He didn't expect Wen Cheng to immediately start fighting without even giving any training.
"Yeah, attack me. I'm trying to test your limit as a fighter. I can't help you improve if I don't know where you are right now. So just attack me without any reservations. You won't hurt me even if you hit me. Although, don't use any damaging techniques, since I just want to test your martial skills right now."
Wen Cheng's explanation felt reasonable to Alex, so he nodded and readied his sword.
With a single dash, he arrived right in front of his master with the sword halfway through his swing. Without a single worry in his eyes, Wen Cheng simply stepped back and let the sword hit the empty space.
Alex didn't hit his target so he stumbled as his balance nearly destabilized, but he immediately steadied himself and went for a single thrust. This time, Wen Cheng simply brought a sheathed sword and lightly touched the tip of the incoming sword.
The small touch was enough to derail Alex's entire attack, making him miss by a very wide margin. Wen Cheng then thrust his sheath directly into Alex's chest sending him flying.
"This is what happens when you only focus on Alchemy and don't give enough time for normal cultivation. Just two attacks, and it's enough for me to know that you have simply no idea how to fight. No sword style, no footwork, or any other form of martial art. I had expected as such, but seeing you waste your talents still hurts my heart."
"Look at you, you broke through to the 3rd realm two weeks ago when I saw you first, yet you are already at the 5th realm. What people wouldn't give for such a talent, yet you don't even know how to fight. This is too much of a waste."
"Starting tonight, You will have a rigorous training schedule from 9 to 3. You can spend the rest of the time cultivating or doing whatever else you like. I will usually have to do my work as a sect leader during the day, so you will have to practice some stuff on your own during the day."
"Come here," Wen Cheng called Alex towards himself as he too walked next to a wall in the room. Wen Cheng banged twice on the wall and suddenly the wall split open to show a rectangular opening. Wen Cheng took out a metal plate and placed it on the opening.
"Ma Rong mentioned about teaching you a lot of things, but left Spiritual roots mostly untouched. Do you know what they are?" he asked.
"No, Master. Other than the fact that they exist and have something to do with the elements, I know nothing about them." Alex replied honestly.
"I figured as much. Alright then, I guess I will have to start teaching you about it from the very basics."

Chapter 106: Testing
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
"From what I know of Alchemy, it doesn't seem to have any specific element-based techniques, so it's understandable why Ma Rong didn't teach you about Spiritual Roots and left them for me."
The metal plate that Wen Cheng had put up on the wall had started to glow as 5 distinct colors started appearing on it in a circular shape in 5 different places.
On the top center was a circle with a red light on it. To the right, a little lower was a circle with blue light coming off of it. On the bottom right was another circle with green light coming off of it. On the bottom left was a circle with a brown light coming off of it. And finally, a little lower to the top left was another circle with Golden yellow light coming off of it.
At the center of the bigger circle that had lines connecting it to the other 5 circles. Inside the big circle was a drawing or a carving of a palm. At the center of the palm was another small rectangular cutout.
"This is a formation plate used to find a disciple's spiritual roots. Take a spirit stone and put it in that slot. After that place your palm along with the diagram and wait for the formation to do its work."
Wen Cheng stepped aside for Alex to move to the front and do what he was just told to. Alex walked to the front and was about to do what he was told, but he stopped. "Umm… Master, I don't have a spirit stone. Can I get one?" He was embarrassed even asking for one, but he had to since he had sent all of his to his bank account.
"You don't have a single spirit stone? I thought you alchemists were supposed to be rich." Wen Cheng was surprised but he still took out a spirit stone for him.
"You are going to have to sell your pills here if you want to do anything here. Unlike the Hong Wu sect, we don't do transactions in contribution points. Everything here is done through actual money. So if you don't have any spirit stones, you might as well not be here."
Alex took that advice to heart and took the spirit stone Wen Cheng gave him. He then inserted it into the slot and placed his palm on top of it.
"Alright, it's going to send a bunch of Qi into your body, don't try to stop it. Once it is in, use your cultivation method to allow it to coarse through your meridians. Once it is done, it will come back to the metal plate and light it up depending on what your spiritual roots are."
Wen Cheng started advising him on what to do. Alex then prepared himself, waiting for the Qi to come in. The Qi started to flow slowly into him and picked up in intensity as time went on. It started pooling along his palm waiting for him to use his cultivation method to take it in.
'Wait, if I use my cultivation method, won't I fall asleep?' He started getting worried. There hadn't been a single time when he had cultivated and not fallen asleep. He racked his brain to try and think of any other way, but couldn't.
'Whatever, here it goes.' He closed his eyes and started breathing slowly, waiting for his cultivation method to kick in. He fully expected his consciousness to vanish, but it didn't. For some reason, for the first time, he could finally cultivate without falling asleep.
'What is going on?' he wondered. This was a very unique situation he was in, but he instead ignored the situation, for now, to focus on the Qi moving into his body.
The Qi started to move along his body at a steady speed. The Qi went around his body through the meridians in his body. Alex used spiritual sense to look at the Qi moving along his body and was surprised.
For the first time, he properly saw the seven-colored light properly, instead of it being just a glimpse. The lights weren't very bright, but they were there. And they were all coming from his meridian.
'7 colors'… 5 of those colors are the same color as the one in the metal board. Wait for a second, is the meridian my spiritual root?' he was surprised. He had wondered what a spiritual root was, but never got a proper answer from anywhere on the Internet.
'Do people not know about them since they don't have a spiritual sense yet?' he wondered.
The Qi moved through his entire body and returned back to his palm in exactly 1 minute, and by this time, all of the Qi had shrunken in size by more than half and instead gotten more viscous as well as vigorous. They had also gained a slight yellow color to them. His Sun God's Divine Yang body had converted the Qi to Yang Qi.
He had gained a lot of Qi from the spirit stones, yet the Qi wasn't in his control, so it left his body and entered the metal plate. Wen Cheng came forward and looked at the metal plate.
"You can remove your hand now," he said and waited for Alex to get back.
Alex did as his master said and stopped using his cultivation method. He got back to where his master was standing and looked at the metal plate as well.
It took a while for the metal plate to process the result, so Wen Cheng took the time to explain how it worked.
"The metal plate will take your Qi and use it to look for your spiritual roots. Depending on your elemental alignment, the board will light up to show your spiritual root. Depending on which light shines, we can tell what your spiritual roots are. Oh, look. It's starting."
Wen Cheng stopped talking as the board started lighting up. Slowly, under both of their eyes, all 5 of the circles started lighting up at the same time.
They were very dim at first but slowly increased with intensity as time passed.

Chapter 107: Bad Spiritual Roots
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
The light slowly started growing brighter and brighter. All 5 circles were shining with the same intensity. The board aside from the circles was also shining a bit yellow.
"The lights determine how well you can use that particular element. So at some point, some of the lights will go out leaving you with the ones that you have elemental alignment with." Wen Cheng said from the side.
Alex knew what his spiritual roots were, but he still looked forward to seeing how a normal cultivator went about to determine theirs.
The light shined brightly with no sign of going out and this started to make Wen Cheng nervous. The longer it went on, the more his face frowned.
At last, the lights in the circle stayed bright with no sign of increasing and the overall board also shined in bright yellow light.
"Sigh, so unfortunate," Wen Cheng said while shaking his head. Alex was surprised to see such a negative reaction.
'Isn't it good? I have all 5 elements. Why is the acting disappointed?' He was curious, so he asked.
"Is that bad, master?"
Wen Cheng sighed once more and said, "From my knowledge, Yes. It's not bad on its own, but when compared to other spiritual roots based on their advantage and disadvantages, it's the worst."
Alex got really confused at the very vague answer. Wen Cheng saw his confused face and said, "Let me explain."
"There are two types of people born in this world. Those with a spiritual root, and those without it. For the ones that don't have a spiritual root, the best they can do in a cultivation world is reach the top of the organ tempering realm. They cannot go above that."
"The ones who are born with spiritual roots don't have any sort of inherent limitations due to spiritual roots. However, even among them, there are ones that are superior and ones that are inferior."
"A superior spiritual root is one that is aligned to a single or at most 2 of the 5 elements. If it is aligned with 3, it is considered an average one. While having 4 and 5 are considered the worst of the worst."
He sighed once again. Alex was surprised too. He hadn't expected his spiritual roots to be actually considered bad. As for why that was, he decided to ask.
"Why are they the worst master?"
Wen Cheng stopped sighing and started explaining.
"Spiritual roots determine how effective a person is at handling an element. If a person has a single element root, they can use that element to its highest power. However, the more elements you introduce to one's spiritual roots, the less effective their grasp of the elements gets."
"In this manner, both ends of the spectrum have an advantage and disadvantage. The ones with fewer elemental roots can only learn techniques with those elements, but have those techniques be really powerful"
"While those with more elements, they have more freedom at learning techniques, but those techniques won't be as powerful."
"In the end, being strong in a single type of element is way better than being weak in five. Ah, I was really looking forward to teaching you many things. It seems we will have to stick to the normal non-elemental techniques." Wen Cheng said as he sighed once more.
Alex also started getting a little sad knowing that his talent, basically magic, was going to be bad. Suddenly, he remembered something.
"Hmm… but, master. But, I am good at controlling fire though. According to this, shouldn't I be bad at that?" he asked.
"Hmm… show me." Wen Cheng said.
"Uhh… I need fire to control it. It's an alchemy technique." He said.
Wen Cheng immediately brought out a piece of paper and used a fire technique on it to burn it. Seeing this Alex immediately got to work. He started channeling his Qi and used the Flame Mastery Scripture.
Suddenly the little tongue of fire that was about to go out, burned brilliantly as it expanded in size to be about a meter in diameter. Alex controlled it for a second, then started to change its size once more. Once its size was changed, he changed its size. He fluctuated between making the fire very hot, to making it very low in temperature.
Alex himself had been previously surprised at how good his control of the fire had been, once his Qi had gone through another change and increased in intensity.
He dropped the fire, letting it disappear as he thought, 'Hmm… what if the reason my control is so good is because of my Qi? I doubt many people have Yang Qi if any.' He thought.
That was a logical assumption and the only one he could think of right now.
"You really are good at it. It doesn't make sense though? Is it because you also have a yang-focused spiritual root?" Wen Cheng thought.
"Yang focused spiritual root? What makes you say that master?" Alex was surprised his master got it wrong.
"Look at the board, it's yellow, meaning your spiritual roots are yang focused. If it was yin focused, it would've turned azure, and it wouldn't have glowed if it is neutral, which is what 99% of the people have." He said. Alex assumed the yellow was because of his Yang Qi, which overshadowed the yin element in his spiritual root.
'Does that mean me having both Yin and Yang is also a rarity even among the rarity? What if that is the reason behind my fire being so good?' he thought.
"Alright, that settles it. We will do something about your spiritual roots tomorrow. For today, you will have to learn swordsmanship and other non-elemental techniques."
"Now, tell me, did your Ma Rong teach you any battle techniques?"
"No, master. She only taught me alchemy-related techniques. She said that I should learn battle techniques from the Tiger sect since I can find the best techniques here. Although I did learn a mortal grade sword technique, that's it."
"Oh, you did?" Wen Cheng smiled a little and said, " Show me."
