Its been 2 weeks since Alex became the disciple of the sect master in the Thousand Soul Sword Sect, in this time he has been recuperating his leg and resting, he was basically lazying around, but no one really said anything to him all this time the position of the direct disciple of the sect master was really prestigius.
In this time Alex discovered many things about this world and cultivation itself but most importantly he discovered that he was not in the milky way at all, constellations very really freaky here, while he already knew he was not in his solar system, as someone that had astology for hobby for more than 15 years he would definitely be able to see familiar stars in the galaxy.
Alex has been researching this called cultivation and found out this, it was basically concept of Chi in his "past" life, you circulate energy inside of your body and let it sit there for a while while you absorb even more energy, energy gets denser and denser and with few days or few years you let it out all at once.
For Alex when he read this first this seemed very stupid, why would you let the energy accumulated for years out at once, wouldn't that destroy you?
But after reading a while he understood you store energy in your so called consciousness and refine it there so it calmes down and its not destructive anymore.
This was very interesting for Alex and he continued his research.
Night Time.
Alex looked outside from the library and saw it was already dark outside, he picked up his book that was in the english language for some reason and left the library.
It was night but in the sect it was lighted up with some kind of rare ore.
Even the weakest Qi Absorbing cultivators could last 3 days without sleeping so not many people really slept at night in this world.
Alex walked the crowded streets and was looking at different stalls that was built here, sect didn't let normal people enter its vicinites but for merchants this rule didn't really exist, there were countless goods here selling from different parts of the world.
Alex was strolling around the streets when he cought sight of something interesting, and as Alex'es personality, he had to check it out.
There was a big temple like building in the streets, it was enormous, Alex should have known all the important buildings in the sect but he only checked few out that seemed more helpfull.
On this temple there was a words "ALCHEMY" carved, this words were enormous and it emitted very powerfull aura.
Alex Went in the building and he immediately smelt different kind of herbs, and it was very pungent.
Entire temple was decorated very well.
He went to the counter and saw a beautiful girl standing there smiling.
As Alex went in, smile got even brighter.
She looked at Alex and said "Hello sir, how can i help you today?"
Alex smiled and said "Hello, i want to ask alchemy is some kind of medicinal science right?"
Girl looked at Alex strangely, she didn't believe there was someone in the world that didn't know about alchemy.
Alchemy masters had enormous influence in this world, there were enormous number of different pills in the world used for almost everything, so Alchemy masters are very prestigius in this world.
Girl smiled and said "Sir Yes, i don't know what science alchemyst means but as a profession it is a part medicinal job" girl explained
She also went to say "If you want you can try your luck becoming one, if you go to left side you will see different rooms where there are audiences watching alchemy master refine a pill"
Alex nodded and went to check out the alchemy masters, he went to the left and saw a door, after opening it he saw a room kinda like rooms in cinemas in his world, and beyond that was a enormous glass, behind a glass there was an alchemyst old man to be exact, sitting On the floor infront of him was a bigcauldron with dragon markings. cauldron was also transparent, so everyone could see inside of it there was several ingredients there.
He was manipulating his energy very masterfully and was making a pill, Qi strengthening pill, one of the hardest pills to create.
And the old man was an grandmaster alchemist.
in this world alchemist ranks were defined in 9 ranks
5th rank alchemist could be considered grandmaster.
There was sweat tickling on his head.
Alex went and found a chair to sit, he was next to a beautiful girl that was watching the show with heated gaze.
Alex also started watching.
5 Hours Later.
literaly nothing changed, even the ingredients were still quite there, this was very boring thing to actually watch.
Alex actually fell asleep, nobody really seem to notice it because many of the people here were also having their eyes close.
Alex would not be this unresponsible but he couldn't help it, he already understood most of the things that he could see here.
Alchemy for him was incredibly easy, it was so primitive actually he was very much skeptical of the effects pill would have.
Alchemy in this world went like this from what Alex actually read in the temple before he came to the room.
Take ingredients.
Extract Good Juice Out Of Them.
Extract energy out of them.
Shape the pill with the energy.
Materialize the pill with the good juice.
Add element you want.
Only hard thing was to add runes to turn the pill into the pill you want.
But this for harder pills, easier pills had easier runes to carve, just a few lines and thats it.
Alex could see this here very well
And from what Alex saw here it was Definitely like this as well, while old man still hasn't gone to the extract energy out of them level, he could already see how he added very weirdly shaped lines to his energy and adding them to the good juice.
Only reason why Alex stayed here was because.
"Stats"

For some reason he was getting experience from watching this old man doing nothing at all.
And if people and alchemists in this world heard him they would definetly curse at him for saying this, here you can't get good at alchemy by practicing making pills, you can get good at practicing making pills and making more refined good pills but if you want to advace to the ranks of alchemists you have to understand Dao of alchemy itself, this made countless prodigies of alchemy can't make breakthrough next level because this was too hard.
Alex opened his eyes, he was awakened by some kind of smell, he looked at the old man and muttered "This thing is going to explode"
The beautiful girl looked at him disdainfully, she thought this was some random guy saying nonsense.
Because Alex'es recuitment as a Sect Masters Direct Disciple happened in the test to see who would be able to became a cultivator and sect member, not many people have seen him that was already in the sect, many people have heard Sect Master took Direct Disciple but not many people have seen what he looks like.
The Beautiful Girl was about to reprimend Alex softly but.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Entire Temple shook.
The Beautful Girl looked at Alex shockingly.
Alex just looked back and smiled.
and he thought "Ahhh Man... i had a good sleep"
