Chapter 111: Selling a pill

"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.

<Sun God's Divine Yang Body disintegrates everything>

<The monster core's element aligns with your spiritual root>

<You have gained 192,524 Qi>

'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?"
