Chapter 100: Master's Lessons

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.
