Chapter 420 - Back To Tiger Sect

Alex didn't need to pack anything, so he simply walked down the mountain to go over to the Elder's Hall to let his grandmaster know that he was leaving.

He walked over to the core mountain and met with Kong Yuhan, Zhou Mi, and Zhou Mei. He let them know about him going to the Tiger sect and found it funny when he saw the shock on their face.

"You guys knew by now, right? Why are you getting surprised?" Alex asked.

"Uhh, yeah. But I didn't think you could go to the Tiger sect this easily. I assumed you were a disciple in name alone," Zhou Mei said.

"No, I'm an actual disciple. Although, I've only been there for 2 weeks," Alex said. "This is my second time going there. Alright, see you guys in 2 weeks."

"See you later, Brother Yu," Kong Yuhan said goodbye too.

Alex mentioned his departure at the Disciple Hall too and left the sect. He walked out of the front game under the afternoon sun and made his way to the sect's Alchemy shop.

Alex had only seen this place once before, so he wasn't sure how business was done here, but he was sure that the shop sold pills and ingredients mostly.

He walked into the quite massive shop and looked around to see a few elders and a lot of inner sect disciples working tirelessly.

He walked over to one of the elders and said, "Good afternoon, Elder. I wish to put a few pills on sale here."

The elder looked at Alex and saw that he was a core disciple, so she took on a much gentler face. "Sure child, what is it that you want to sell?" she asked.

Alex brought out about 85 pill bottles and handed them to her. "There are 2 types of pill here. These 43 bottles contain pills that I call the Strong Claw pill. These pills will increase nails, talons, and claws of anyone by 2 centimeters and make it extremely durable depending on the Harmony of the pill."

"And these 42 bottles contain pills that I call the Soul Nourishing Pill. It increases the mental strength of anyone that takes the pill, including beasts. These will be helpful to increase your resistance against mental attacks or increase your beast's intelligence very early on."

Alex explained a few more details about the pills while the Elder looked at him dumbfounded. Only when Alex was done did the Elder finally speak.

"Um… Child, I've never heard of such pills. Where did you get the recipe?" she asked.

"Oh, I made it myself," Alex said.

"I… see. I thought so," the elder said. "Alright, place your information on that board along with your nameplate. I will input some things into your nameplate," the elder said.

Alex was a little confused as to how the sect running formation would even run out here, but he still did what he was asked to do. He placed his nameplate and started writing on the board what he had brought in today in full detail.

He had to go through the number of pill bottles, to the number of pills in each individual bottle to the harmony of each individual pills.

It was a lot of work and took him about 15 minutes to write it all down. During that time, the elder tested all the pills in a pill tester and dunked the pills all onto a large pill bottle that could easily hold over thousands of pills.

Once it was all done, the elder checked the contents of what she had found against the contents that were written and approved of it.

"Alright, child. It's done. You will be notified in a few days to come to get your earnings," the elder said.

"Thank you, Elder," Alex said and was about to walk out when he stopped and turned around to ask. "By the way, in case I am not in the sect when you notify me, can I request that you send the earnings to my master?" he asked.

"Uhh… sure. Which elder should I send it to?" the elder asked.

"Ah good. Then please send it to the sect leader," Alex said and walked away.

"Okay, the sect lead— The Sect LEADER?" the elder suddenly went wide-eyed. "Yu… Ming! Of course, how did I forget it? That was the sect leader's disciple."

"So young, and he already made 2 pills on his own. I wonder how many hands the sect leader had in these two pills. Should have been a lot. But still, to be able to make 40% pills, that's quite amazing," the elder thought.

Alex wasn't there to hear any of what the elder had said and was already on his way to the auction house. The Pink Cloud auction house was something he was used to, so he came here directly.

Although at first, he had thought that he was betrayed by the auction house and that his information about selling the Spirit Cleansing Lily was leaked, after listening to Zexi and experiencing what he did, Alex understood that one of the employees that knew his information had their mind read.

Alex wasn't going to hold grudge against someone who was attacked. If anything, he now knew how vulnerable even the most tight-lipped information could be, so he was going to be extra careful when dealing with important items now.

"Hello, I am here to auction off some pills. Is miss Cai Ping inside?" Alex asked.

"Yes, please come," one of the girls at the front of the auction house took him inside the auction house and to the familiar room.

Alex sat on the sofa, waiting for Cai Ping to arrive. Before the door even opened, Alex knew that she was here and smiled.

"Good Afternoon, Fellow Daoist Yu. I see that you have been well," Cai Ping said.

"I'm indeed doing very well, miss Cai. How about you?" Alex kept the conversation going.

"I'm doing well too. Ah right, congratulations on making a 60% harmony pill in the alchemy competition. When I heard you won that, I couldn't believe it at all."

"All this time, I believed it was your master who made the pills, but it turned out, it was you," Cai Ping said.

"Well, that was just a stroke of luck in the competition. I haven't been able to reach that level after the competition," Alex said.

"I see. Anyway, what do you wish to auction off this time, Daoist Yu? There are people out there desperate for some pills from the White wolf. They like the fact that you sell many pills at once and they don't have to find the ingredients themselves," Cai Ping said.

"Haha, well… I have some pills," Alex said and brought out a few random pills that he started explaining to Cai Ping about.

At first, Cai Ping was excited, but then she got a little disappointed when she saw how low the pills were. She really wished that he brought out some more pills.

As if hearing her inner thoughts, Alex brought out 6 more pill bottles. He then began to explain about the pills.

"These pill bottles have pills that I like to call the Strong Claw pill, it can…"

"And these pill bottles have pills that I like to call the Soul Nourishing Pill. It can…"

Alex explained in detail what the two different pills did. Cai Ping didn't know as much about pills as the elder did, and didn't realize that such pills hadn't been auctioned off before this.

Alex told her exactly which pills to focus on the most and the price that he believed they should be sold at. Once that was done, Cai Ping set up a contract quickly and signed it.

"Will these pills be sold in tomorrow's auction or should I come sometime next week?" Alex asked.

"It should be sold tomorrow," Cai Ping said.

"Alright, see you tomorrow then, Miss Cai," Alex said and stood up to leave. Cai Ping bade him a farewell, and Alex left. It was about time for him to go to the Tiger sect.

He was still wearing the Hong Wu Sect's clothes, but he didn't let it bother him at all. Without any hesitation, he made his way straight to the sect.

He was once again stopped at the gate by the guards. These were not the same guards from last time, so Alex had to explain to them how he was also a disciple of the Tiger Sect, which the elders found hard to believe.

Only when he told them that he was the sect leader's disciple did they call his senior brother to check.

"Oh, junior brother, are you here to meet master or to stay?" Liu Xun asked.

"To stay, senior brother. I am here for the next 2 weeks," Alex said.

"Ah, good good. Hey, you guys, that's my junior brother, let him in," Liu Xun said.

"Yes, Leader," the guards quickly let Alex in. Alex walked inside and was taken to Liu Xun's room where they talked for a while. During that time, Liu Xun notified Wen Cheng and Luo Mei that Alex had returned to the sect.

They were both happy and called Alex to Wen Cheng's manor on the top of the mountain. It was close to being Night time, so Alex leisurely made his way up the familiar mountain.

'This place sure is easier to navigate than the Hong Wu Sect,' Alex thought.? He saw the many yellow-robed disciples go up and down the mountain.

Alex had already changed his clothes, so all the other disciples saw now was an Inner sect disciple-making his way up the mountain.

It was a straight path to the top, so Alex didn't have to spend any time searching for his way. He also didn't need to hide his identity anymore, so he didn't need to use the invisibility technique anymore.

In about 10 minutes, he finally made his way to the top of the mountain. His master's manor was just a few meters away when suddenly someone stepped in front of him.

"Good Evening, Disciple Yu Ming."

A familiar voice sounded from the man who just stepped in front of him. Alex slowly looked up to see a bald man with no facial hair looking at him. He had a soft smile on his face and his overall posture was very gentle.

Alex knew this person quite well. After all, he was the master of Du Yuhan and Su Min.

"Good Evening, First Elder. How are you? It has been a while since we last spoke," Alex said.

"I've been quite well. What about you? I heard you died during the beast invasion in the capital, but then you came back. What's up with that?" the first elder asked.

"Oh, don't mind that nonsense, First Elder. The reports of my deaths were greatly exaggerated," Alex said with a smile.

The first elder didn't lose his smile either. "I was quite surprised you know when I first got the information that you were the sect leader's direct disciple. I thought I missed my chance at another great disciple. Well, I guess it's the sect leader's luck that he found you before I did," the First Elder said.

"I was quite lucky to have found him as my master as well," Alex said with a smile.

"Anyway, I'm happy to see that our sect didn't lose a mighty pillar for the future. Welcome back, disciple Yu," the first elder said.

"Thank you, First elder. Now, if you may excuse me, I need to go meet my master for now. I will see you later, First Elder," Alex said and walked past him.

The first elder did nothing to stop him and just turned around to watch him leave. He then walked back towards his residence while keeping his smile on him all the time.. He truly was happy to see Alex return.
