Alex went towards the medical pill and randomly took a pill. As soon as he touched the pill, the information about the pill appeared.
Name: Essence recovery pill
Rank: Grade 1
Effect: Recovers 30% essence of Essence gathering realm [99.9%]
"99.9%?! It looks like ordinary pills can be used without any worry. After seeing Heaven grade pill, every other pill seems to have only one effect." He touched another pill while thinking.
Name: Bone healing pill
Rank: Grade 1
Effect: Heals fractured bones [99.9%]
Without any interest, Alex moved towards the next pill.
Name: Body recovery pill
Rank: Grade 1
Effect: Heals strained muscles [99.9%]
Seeing the third pill Alex suddenly frowned. Soon he went on touching all the Grade 1 pills, just to find that every single pill shows 99.9%.
"99.9%! Why does every pill show the same 99.9%? As far as I know, there were no pill masters in the sleepless city so these pills should be refined by aunt Lara. Since aunt Lara seems to have refined the legendary Heaven-Grade pill, her attainment in pill dao should also be high. So for her refining such grade, 1 pill should be easy and the quality of the pill must also have attained the top grade."
"Since all pill shows 99.9%, it means this was the highest rank they can get, but what would happen if it reaches 100%?"
Alex's intuition told him that there was a problem, so he thought about using the bug on a pill just to check whether his intuition was right or wrong.
So he moved back to the place where the first pill he touched was placed on and took that pill that he first touched.
"Essence recovery pill - 100%"
A star bug soon disappeared from him leaving only 39-star bugs. He soon touched the pill once again to see the changes of the pill. When he saw the information about the pill, his soul almost flew out of his body and he covered his mouth in shock.
Name: Heavenly essence recovery pill
Rank: Grade 1
Effect: Instantly recovers 50% essence of Essence gathering realm [100%].
"H-H-Heavenly?!! Why would the word heavenly suddenly appear on a grade 1 pill?! According to aunt Lara, only pills refined using heaven-grade ingredients can bear the name of Heaven. But why did its name suddenly became a heavenly pill just by changing the effect to 100%." Alex thought while trying to suppress his shock.
Alex started to closely examine the pill once again and found that the single ring on the pill which represents the grade of the pill turned into a golden ring.
Generally, the grade of the pill was discovered by the number of rings present on the pill. Grade-1 would have 1 ring while Grade-9 pill would have 9 rings.
Alex soon calmed himself and started to think "Every pill showed to have the effect of 99,9%, but when I suddenly changed its effect to 100%, they.....mutated!!" His hyper Intuition suddenly made him think of an answer.
Even Alex was shocked by the answer he found. "Why would the pill mutate, is it because of the star bug, or is it because of its effect reaching 100%. Now that I think about it, every time I used the star bug, I always aimed for 100% success all the time."
"Now that I think about it, every time I use the star bug something strange happens. The heavenly skill, according to memories I got when inheriting, the skill didn't have the ability to essence pearls. That means the original skill can only gather essence but my mutated heavenly skill gathers the purest essence, filtering the impurities." When he reached this conclusion, it felt like he understood something about his star bugs.
The more Alex thought, the more he felt that his reasoning was right. He felt that he still needs to explore more about all his skills as they all seem to be mutated because of the bug.
"Perfection leads to mutation"
"The more I use the bug the more mutated I feel myself."
Alex said with a small smile on his face. To him, the bugs are still a mystery that needs more time to explore.
Alex soon placed the pill that mutated in its place and started to examine all grades of pills. He took some of the pills from all grades.
After taking some pills, Alex soon came towards the place where Essence stone and Essence crystal are placed. According to calculation, 1000 Essence stones are equal to 1 Essence crystal.
When considering the size of his essence core, his capacity already reached the late stage of the Essence condensation realm.
"Since I reached Essence flowing realm, the number of resources I require is thirty times greater than ordinary cultivators. So it would be better if I can take all the Essence crystals directly." Alex thought about the resources he needs.
Immediately Alex came towards the essence crystal and started packing them into his space ring leaving behind only essence stones.
After talking about all the essence crystals, Alex looked towards the remaining essence stones with a smile.
"I guess I will leave some gift using these essence stones for aunt Lara."
"Heavenly skill - Essence gathering."
Soon all the essence in the essence stones started to gather towards Alex. Soon Essence pearls started to fall to the ground.
After some time, all the essence stones were consumed to create 500 Essence pears.
"Damn, it took nearly 50 million Essence stones just to create 500 Essence pearls."
Alex then turned to look around the treasury and found the entire room was messed up crazily. Looking around the mess, Alex shook his head and moved towards a mirror, and sat down.
Alex looked at his reflection with a hint of sadness in his eyes and spoke himself.
"When I first transmigrated into this world I was happy because I had a family with whom I can share happiness, but now I feel fear. I fear because I possess too many secrets that can't be explained. If I wanted to hide my secret then there is only one way, that is to leave from city to far away. This is the only way to protect my secret."
"Now that I have enough strength to survive in this world, I can leave without any worry."
Then he wrote a letter explaining that he has gone to pursuing his martial dao. Even though most of the explanations are lies, he still expressed his true feelings.
He placed the letters on the shelf where they can be easily seen and took out the ancient talisman.
"I didn't think I would be using this treasure very quickly." Alex once again looked at the information.
Name : Random transmission talisman
Rank : Grade 5
Activation : 0.02%
Effect :
1. 1 mile transmission [88%]
2. 10 miles transmission [10%]
3. 100 miles transmission [1%]
4. 1000 miles transmission [0.5%]
5. 10,000 miles transmission [0.0097%]
Alex slightly distressed thinking about using two star bugs on this talisman.
"Activation- 100%
10,000 miles transmission- 100%"
Immediately Alex transmitted some essence into the talisman, suddenly a strange power came out of the talisman and enveloped Alex.
Soon Alex disappeared from that place.
•••••••••••
A dense forest
Alex suddenly appeared in this dense forest. It was extremely dark and he couldn't see anything.
"Damn, I should have left the house in the morning. I completely forgot it was night outside." Alex self blamed himself
Bang Bang
Roar
Alex startled when he heard the sound of battle. From the voice, he determined that two beasts was fighting each other.
He suddenly heard another voice of a child.
"Starly go, use dragon claw attack."
When Alex heard these words he suddenly blurted.
"Is there a Pokemon battle nearby?"
