Chapter 260: Alchemy Hall of the Capital

Zhou Mei looked at the list and sighed a little. She had gotten 26 points in the competition and had thus become 5th in the rankings. Normally, she would've been happy, but right now, she only frowned.

'How did that guy get so many points while everyone else struggled?' she thought. It was really hard to believe that someone that was not even in the same cultivation realm as her could possibly gather so many ingredients.

'Does he have a really good mind or what?' she wondered. She knew he was talented. Even with all the opportunities, one was given, it was impossible to reach where he was without having some talent of one's own. But she found it difficult to accept precisely because he was given so many opportunities.

She sighed and moved out of the arena along with the other nearly hundred disciples.

Some of the hundred disciples were a little happy to have earned something, but most were actually sad and frustrated. It wasn't so easy to go in, look at the list, remember it, look at the thousands of ingredients in front of them and pick one that matched the list.

Even if they did remember a few, they weren't sure if they would be gone by the next day. That was just how hard the competition was.

Alex and Zhou Mei as well as the other disciple made their way to the seating area.

"Congrats on the 1st place Yu Ming"

"Nice job."

"That's the sect leader's disciple for you."

"No wonder she took him as her direct disciple."

Alex smiled and thanked them as he walked up to and sat in his seat. "Great job Yu Ming. I knew you could do it for sure. You too MeiMei, good job on getting 5th place. That was a terribly difficult task. I doubt Fanfan could get that much, let alone Wan Li."

Zhou Mei nodded when she heard Ma Rong say that, but internally she was still disappointed. Out of the top 3, she was the only one to not be in the top 3 of the competition.

"Alright, let's leave," Ma Rong said and stood up. The rest of the members stood up and started walking too. The competition was over for the day, so everyone else would be leaving soon as well.

The other sects didn't want to be stuck among the waves of the audience trying to leave the place, so they started to leave as well.

Alex and the rest smoothly got out of the coliseum and went back to their hotel. "You guys can go around and roam you know? You don't have to follow the rest of us back," Ma Rong said.

Some of the disciples nodded and got out of line to leave but the rest of them followed the group back.

The group walked all the way to the west of the city where they finally went to their hotel room. "Alright, everyone. The rule is the same as yesterday. Do what you want until 6 pm, by which you must be in the hotel," Ma Rong said and went to her room.

Alex went to his room with Wan Li as well and made some excuse about being tired and went directly to bed before logging out.

"Urghh… that took a while. I am so hungry," he thought and quickly went to the kitchen to get something to eat.

There was something in the refrigerator, so he simply microwaved it and ate it. It wasn't very tasty, but he was too lazy to want to make anything on his own.

After finishing his food, he went back to his room and logged in.

He was now back to the game after leaving for 20 minutes. "Ughh… I can't sleep," he said as he woke up and stretched a little to give Wan Li the impression that he really did try to sleep."

"Do you want to go out to the Alchemy Halls Brother Wan? I want to make some pills," he said.

Wan Li thought for a few moments and said, "It's alright brother Yu. You can go by yourself. I want to write and study what I learned today in the competition." He then took out a pen and a book and started writing on them.

Alex was blown away by how incredibly hardworking the boy was. 'If only he had a mind that could keep up with that,' he thought. Wan Li was already in the Mind Tempering realm, and that was supposed to have boosted his mental abilities quite a bit.

However, if he was still such a forgetful person then…

'I really want to give the poor guy one of the flowers so that he could have an eidetic memory too. But I can't. If someone else from the sect ends up finding out that I had some, I would be in deep trouble,' Alex thought.

"Alright then, I'm leaving," Alex said and walked out of the room. He soon walked out of the hotel and started walking towards the middle of the city.

The middle of the city was where the Alchemy Guild and Halls were. This was where all the different guilds and halls were, so he swiftly made his way there.

He didn't know how much it cost to make pills for around 5 hours but hoped that it didn't cost any more than 2 true spirit stones. That was all he had left now.

He finally reached the place and saw the gigantic buildings that were the different halls. There were hundreds and thousands of people going in and out of these places. Some were mortals, some were in the Self Tempering realms and some were in the True Realm.

He quickly found the Alchemy hall right next to the Alchemy Guild. It was a building colored in light green and had perhaps the most number of people going in and out of it.

Alex thought nothing else and directly walked into the Alchemy Hall.
