Chapter 110: Training with Master
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
Although he couldn't tell the exact output of the attack, he could tell that it was without a doubt the strongest attack he had done until now.
Just the first strike alone was better than Smiting Blade, yet the second strike somehow far surpassed that.
'What would the third strike be like?' he wondered. He held his blade next to him once again and started pouring in the Qi. In the end, he swung the sword directly towards the wall once more.
A very sharp green slice came out of the sword and hit the wall far away.
BOOM
A big explosion rang out at the wall. However, instead of being happy, Alex frowned.
"The damage is much lower than I expected. It's barely any better than the second strike and yet it uses more Qi." He started to believe that his fire abilities were only good because of the Yang Qi. Now that Yang Qi wouldn't help Wood element, his true power finally showed.
"I guess I really have a bad spiritual root. I guess I don't care as long as it doesn't hamper me in my path in alchemy. Cultivating and fighting are just extra stuff for me. But still, it hurts a bit, knowing that I have a bad spiritual root." He thought.
He decided to only use the first 2 sword strike from now on since the third strike was bad when considering Qi to Damage ratio. Still, practicing it just in case he ever needed it was not a bad idea.
He kept on practicing for another hour and finally stopped when his Qi ran out. Sending out wind slices continuously for an hour was really draining for him.
A few minutes later Wen Cheng arrived just to see him down on the ground panting heavily.
"Oh, are you done for today?" he asked.
"Ah, Master. Yes, I'm done for today. I have run out of Qi." He said.
"Oh, okay. How much did you learn? Did you manage to practice some of the footwork?" he asked.
"Oh, I learned the whole thing master. It took me 5 hours to read it."
"5 Hours? Okay, lets tes- HUH? You finished reading all of this in just 5 hours?" Wen Cheng was shocked. When Alex had said fast, he had thought he was talking about taking just a few days to learn the stuff, but to finish it in a few hours? That was too shocking.
"Stand up. I will test you to see if that is true." He ordered sternly. He needed to check if he was lying or not, as it was a really hard thing to believe.
Alex stopped panting and stood up with his sword at the ready. Wen Cheng internally nodded when he saw that he was using a stance from the Elusive Heavenly Sword.
"Come," He said giving permission for Alex to attack. Alex too didn't waste another second and lunged forward with his sword. Wen Cheng saw the sword coming and stepped to the side to dodge it. At the same time, he also used his own sword to make a simple yet precise attack.
Alex immediately moved his feet in such a way that his whole body twisted to barely dodge the attack. Using the same momentum, he once more twisted his body to get in another attack from the side.
Wen Cheng's eyes widened at this. 'His body has yet to properly adapt to the technique, but he himself knows what he is doing. Just a few more days of continuous practice and he will become an expert at this rate.' Wen Cheng was truly shocked seeing Alex fight.
Wen Cheng once more dodged the sword and started making his own hits faster. Alex however, was dodging every single attack that was coming his way.
The fight went on for about 5 more minutes before Wen Cheng's hits were just too fast for Alex to dodge and finally got hit. He was hit straight in the chest and sent flying into the wall.
He dropped to the ground and started coughing. Wen Cheng on the other hand had bright eyes full of admiration. "Are you okay, Yu Ming?" he asked.
He stopped coughing and answered, "Yes, master."
"Good. You have truly learned the Elusive Heavenly Sword. A few more days of it, and you can be considered a Master at it."
"So, for tonight you will go back to your room and cultivate until you are challenged by someone. However, by 9 pm tomorrow, rank up until you are…. Let's see," Wen Cheng checked something using a medallion and said, "Okay, rank up until you are at 194. The person with that badge is a realm lower than you, but since they've been here for a long time, they will probably have more fighting experience than you."
"Only after acquiring the badge 194 will I give you the other techniques. If you can't get it, I will just train you in the sword for another day. Now, Go and cultivate. It would be good if you can breakthrough within the week. The faster the better."
"Yes, Master," Alex was about to leave when he suddenly stopped. "Umm… Master, you said I should break through as fast as I can?"
"Yeah. The faster you get stronger the better." Wen Cheng simply said.
"Umm… So I can breakthrough today?" he said.
"Yes, Of course. Go back and meditate properly. Be in the best state so that you don't fail your break through," Wen Cheng said.
"Are you saying this because you don't know, Master? I thought master told you about me."
"About you? What else is there to know about you? Ma Rong just told me a few things as to what to do. Although, she did say something about me being surprised by your talent. "
"But I already have been. You being able to learn the Elusive Heavenly Sword in 5 hours was very surprising. So I don't think there is anything else left." Wen Cheng said.
Alex finally understood. Ma Rong had purposefully kept his cultivation and learning talent a secret. Wen Cheng didn't really know how talented he was in regards to cultivation. He was mistaken by his own information.
Alex chuckled a little and asked. "So, Master didn't tell you that I can breakthrough whenever I want, did she?"

Chapter 111: Selling a pill
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
"You can breakthrough any time you want?" Wen Cheng was a little confused. But then, he remembered something and his eyes became a little wider.
"Is it like what you did back in the southern forest? Don't you have to gather your Qi first to breakthrough?" Wen Cheng asked.
"Oh, yes. I do. But I already have enough Qi to breakthrough 4 more times if I wanted to." Alex said.
"What?" Wen Cheng shouted once more. "Is that true? They why haven't you done so already?" he asked.
"Well, that's because Master said that I should wait until my cultivation base is stabilized before I proceed any further with the breakthroughs." Wen Cheng said.
"Oh, yeah that's right. When did you last breakthrough?" he asked.
"Umm… it was the day of the auction." He replied.
"Just 2 days ago then? That's probably not enough time for you to stabilize. But after today's training, you should be close to it. Just a few more battles and you should be able to do it. Battle is one of the best ways to stabilize your cultivation after all."
"Alright, then. Let's train some more. If you have enough Qi to breakthrough so many times, then you might as well spend the rest of the night stabilizing it. You can cultivate later on during the day to get more Qi." Wen Cheng said.
'Or I can just eat some monster cores and pills. But I don't know if that has any effect on my cultivation base yet.' He thought.
They went back to fighting until the early morning and only then did they stop. Alex got a lot more understanding of the technique and was happy with the outcome. Before sunrise, Alex left the sect leader's building and disappeared.
He only reappeared when he reached near his new house and entered.
'Hmm… my Qi is depleted completely. Can I just eat a core to replenish it?' he wondered as he sat on his bed. It was too late to cultivate and he would have to log out in a while.
'Doesn't hurt to try,' he thought. He took out a random core from all the different monster cores he still had that he didn't sell. At the auction, he had only sold the corpses of the monsters that Luo Mei had given him, and he had kept the cores and materials for himself.
He put the core into his mouth and swallowed it. As soon as it entered his mouth, it turned into a creamy liquid that slid down his throat.
'Well, at least my spiritual roots have that as an advantage. I can eat any core without worries.' He laughed a little.
However, he frowned once more. He had taken in the Qi, but it didn't fill up his body at all.
'Status' he decided to check if what he thought had truly happened.

"Just like I thought. The Qi from the monster core added to my Qi. Urghh… I don't want to cultivate at all. I hope I passively absorb enough Qi fill myself by the time I return from my university classes."
And so he logged out. He came back after a little while and started wondering what he should do in the less than 3 hours he had before university.
"Hmm… Master said I need spirit stones for everything, right? Let's go sell some pills." He walked out of his house and went to the small market out of the sect.
It didn't even take him 10 minutes to get there, and when he did, he was surprised that the market was already busy with many people from both in and outside of the sect.
Alex walked to a shop that sold pills and asked, "Hello, do you buy pills?"
The man in the shop was surprisingly an elder from the Tiger sect. "Yes, we do. Are you here to sell one?" he asked.
"Yes," Alex said as he brought out a pill bottle with a single pill inside. He had made a few pills as a warm-up before making the many different new pills and was going to sell one of those.
The pill he took out was a Common Healing pill. It was a better healing pill than a minor healing pill but not by much. The elder took the pill and put it into a tester.
Before he knew it, the fog around the glass reached up to 33% and stopped. The elder was really shocked at the pill.
"That's a nice pill you've got there. Sell it to me." A voice came from behind Alex. He turned around to see a man wearing a yellow robe with an orange lining on it.
"I don't really mind selling it to anyone in particular," Alex answered as he looked at the man more carefully. The man seemed to be in his early 20s and was in Meridian Tempering 3rd realm.
He was about the same height as Alex but was almost twice as wide. His unshaven facial hair also made him look like he was older than he actually was.
Behind him were a few inner set and outer sect disciples, who seemed to be following him. The man took out a few spirit stones from the bag and gave them to Alex.
Alex looked at the 10 spirit stones he was just given and hoping it was not what he was expecting asked, "What is this?"
"For the pill," The man said with a gentle-looking but clearly haughty smile.
Alex handed the spirit stones back to the man and said, "Thank you, but I'm not selling my pills for 10 spirit stones." He then turned to the elder and asked, "How much will you take this pill for, Elder?"
The young man was surprised at the refusal just now and started getting unreasonably angry. "How dare you turn your back on me and be disrespectful. Do you know who I am?"

Chapter 112: Prime Disciple
Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
Alex startled at the sudden shout. He turned back to look at the man and asked, "What do you want?"
"I told you I wanted the pill and yet you deny it to me. If I say I want the pill, then I will get the pill." The arrogant man started spouting nonsense from what Alex could hear.
"Hey brother, why are you messing with brother Huo, he is the 7th elder's disciple? Just sell the pill if you don't want to be constantly challenged by everyone, every day."
"Yeah, if you don't want trouble, it's better to just sell the pill to him. He is 18th in ranking in the core disciples after all. So there is glory in selling the pills to him."
The disciples behind the young man started to fawn over the young man's ranking and privilege in the sect, while seemingly trying to pressure Alex into giving up the pill.
The young man had a smug smile on his face after hearing his lackeys announce his glorious achievements.
'Master did talk about these sorts of people. But it's still surprising I get to meet one so soon. I don't remember people in the Hong Wu sect being like this. Although, I didn't really socialize there, so maybe there are.' He thought. One thing the disciples behind the young man had said had caught his attention.
"You are a core disciple?" he asked the young man directly.
The man thought Alex had gotten scared from hearing about his achievements and simply nodded.
Alex turned to the elder and asked, "Elder, if the orange lining on his cloth means that he is a core disciple, then what does a red lining mean? Are they not a core disciple, but something else?" he asked. He wanted to learn what Luo Mei's position was in the sect.
"Ah… you must be talking about disciple Luo Mei. She is the direct disciple of the sect leader and first in ranking amongst the core disciples. She is our Prime Disciple, and thus gets to wear red linings in her robes." The elder said with a face of fondness.
"Oh, I see." Alex then asked, "So, about the pill, elder. how much will you buy it for?" He asked.
The core disciple called Huo started getting mad. He stepped forward about to shout once more when the elder suddenly looked at him. "If you are here to disturb the sect's business, then you will have to suffer the consequences, disciple Huo Tu."
Huo Tu immediately got scared and bowed to the elder a little before leaving the shop. Alex was surprised that even such a haughty disciple would get scared of the elder.
'He must've thought he could make me give the pill to him, with just the fear of his name alone. He will come for revenge later, that's for sure.'
Alex however wasn't worried about that. Disciples in the sect weren't allowed to fight. If they wanted to, they would have to set up a fight in the fighting hall. The most important part of this situation was still the badges everyone got.
Only a disciple with the lower badge can request a fight with the other disciple. So, no matter how much the Huo Tu guys wanted to kill him, as long as he was in the sect, that would be impossible.
He turned his focus back to the elder who was looking at the pill and contemplating. After a while, he said, "I can give you 24 spirit stones for this pill. I don't know where you came to find this pill, but it's really good and deserves this amount."
Alex thought for a second. While the common healing pill wasn't the best, it was at 33% harmony. Since it wasn't an auction, he thought the specific price was okay.
"Yes, elder. I would like to sell it for that amount." Alex said. The elder kept the pill and passed along 24 spirit stones to Alex.
Alex left the market and started returning back to his house when suddenly he noticed something. He sent out his spiritual sense and found out that 2 of the lackeys that followed the core disciple named Huo Tu were currently tailing him.
'What are they trying to do?' he wondered. They couldn't attack him in the open or anything. There were a ton of disciples on the path. Even If they wanted to, they were way too weak to be a challenge for him.
So he ignored them and minded his own business as he returned back to his home. Just as he was about to open the door, however, the two lackeys ran away.
"Hmm…" he was confused for a second, but immediately realized what happened afterward. "They must've wanted my badge number, haha. I would've given it to them had they just asked." Alex chuckled a bit and returned back to his room.
Now that he had nothing to do, he logged out for the day. It was Tuesday, so he had to go to his classes for the day. Around half-past 3 after he was done with his afternoon lunch and after having called his parents back home, he returned back to the game.
He felt his Qi and realized it was back to full. 'So, I only need about 8 hours to get my Qi fully back huh. Or maybe even less.' He thought.
"Might as well breakthrough right now." He clicked the [Breakthrough] button and instantly reached Bone Tempering 6th realm.
Once done, he looked up, straight ahead of him at the wooden board with all the rankings on it, and thought, "If Master said I have to get to 194 by the end of today, I should fight the others in between to get the experience, right?"
He started looking through the different names. Thankfully, the names also had simple info next to their names that said whether someone is in their house, just within the sect, or out of sect.
Out of them, Alex chose the ones that had 'Their house' as their location. In the end, he gathered a few names he would fight today.
"Alright, let's go register some fights."
