Chapter 21:Yellow Rock

Alex had a similar feeling to the one he had when finding the [Spirit Cleansing Lily]. However, this feeling was somehow completely different in both type and origin.

For starters, the feeling he had for the [Spirit Cleansing Lily] originated from somewhere in his mind. Something in his mind had slightly nudged him into thinking that was a good item.

However, this time, the feeling originated from his body. His entire body was reacting as a hungry lion that had just seen an injured deer. His body was ready to pounce on it.

He went towards the vendor to look at what the item really was. The vendor was an outer sect disciple and there were several items that she was selling.

Out of all of them, the one that Alex was interested in was a small, smooth but jagged piece of yellow rock.

"Hello sister, can you tell me what this yellow rock is?" he asked the vendor.

The girl looked at Alex and said, "I don't really know what it is. It was constantly warm so I thought it must've been something good, and chose to sell it. Why? You want it?" she looked at Alex expectantly.

"Yes, I do sister. How much do you want for this?" he asked.

"100 points. No bargaining," she said without hesitation.

'I don't have 100 points though' Alex was confused as to what to do.

Seeing his frowned face, the outer sect disciple got more confident in her attitude and said, " If you don't have the points, then go away. Let other people look at my stuff."

"I only have 88 points right now sister. Is there any way to lower the price?" he asked hoping she would drop it. He was already finding it hard to stand near the stone without grabbing it immediately and shoving it in his mouth.

"No can do. If you don't have 100 points, then go away." The girl closed her eyes after saying this and started meditating.

Alex thought for a bit and said, "While I don't have the full 100 points, would you accept some alchemy materials, sister?" he asked

The girl opened one eye and looked curiously as she said, "Depends". Alex immediately rejoiced and brought out 4 different alchemy materials he found in the forest.

There were normal materials that he had come across in the forest. The girl looked at the items and was surprised.

"You are going to give me those 4 materials, and 88 points?" she asked inquisitively.

"Yes, sister," Alex replied with zero hesitation.

"Okay, it's yours," she said as she handed him the yellow rock, and her nameplate. Alex took both of the items. The yellow rock was too irresistible, so he immediately kept it in his inventory.

That helped quite a bit. He no longer had the impulse to eat the stone at once. He looked at the other item in his hand, the girl's nameplate.

He had to transfer 88 points to her, but he didn't know how to. He decided to do the same thing Kong Yuan had done and put his and her nameplate together.

He focused on them a bit and got the option to transfer contribution points. He unhesitatingly passed 88 points into the girl's nameplate.

He then handed her nameplate back to her, along with the 4 alchemy material. He said his goodbye and went out of the sect market.

His second work in the sect valley was to learn how to become an alchemist's aid. But, he now had to wait until he found out what the yellow rock was.

He had just left his cottage half an hour ago, and now he was back in it. He sat on his bed and got comfortable. He then opened his inventory and brought out the yellow rock.

The yellow rock looked like a normal piece of rock. It was both smooth and jagged in shape. It was smaller than a spirit stone in size and wasn't translucent either.

The yellow in the rock was truly yellow, and not some cloudy yellow inside the rock similar to a spirit stone.

Once the rock was on his hand, the urge to eat it appeared once more. His mind was being the reasonable one and telling him not to do something stupid as eating a rock.

But his body's urge to eat the rock was too big for him to ignore. He decided to go with the body on this one, and reluctantly, ate it.

The moment the stone touched his tongue, it melted into a hot, scalding liquid that traveled down his throat. However, even though it was scalding hot, he didn't feel any pain.

Once the liquid reached his stomach, it started to distribute to every corner of his body.

Suddenly, his body started to hurt like hell. It felt like his entire body was submerged in a tub of boiling lava, that was also somehow injected into his veins.

This was the worst pain he had ever felt in both real life and the game. It took five minutes for the pain to slowly start to disappear.

As the pain subsided, all that remained in his body was power and vigor. He could sense that the amount of Qi his body could store had increased substantially, as well as that the yang qi was dozens if not more times stronger than normal Qi.

He could easily tell that he was twice as strong as he was before.
