Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 139 - Time Skip



"Uhh… My head!!" Alex stood up, rubbing his forehead as he came back to consciousness. "Wha— Where?" he looked around.

"Game?" he looked around a little more. After rubbing his head for a few moments more, he finally started to think. 'The essence..' He finally remembered what had happened.

He released his spiritual sense to see if anything was different about him. He found nothing. Even his forehead where the drop of blood had pierced through was already healed.

"Is there really nothing wrong with me then?" He had expected to at least be hurt a lot, but after the first minute of intense headache, nothing happened.

"What's the time?" he looked to his top right corner to view the current time. "9:23? I'm late," he thought as he stood up and walked to the front door.

He was supposed to meet his master at 9 pm, yet over 20 minutes had already gone by. His master must've been waiting for a long time.

He immediately opened the door and…

"What?" he was surprised when he saw the outside. It was bright. As bright as the brightest day he could remember. He slowly turned his eyes towards the upper right corner of his vision once more and saw what he had missed at first.

AM. It was 9:23 AM.

"I slept through the entire night?" Not only had he missed his training with his master, but he had also missed the entire night. The only thing he did last night was sleep. Not even normal cultivation.

He walked back inside and got to thinking as to just exactly what had happened. The blood essence had hit him, and he had fainted. He saw nothing else happen.

He slowly poured his Qi into his tattoo and called out Pearl. "Pearl came out with a mighty 'Meow'. Thankfully, he hadn't grown since yesterday and was the same size.

He looked him over and felt his aura. "You look fine. Do you feel fine buddy?" he asked as he petted him.

"Meow," Pearl meowed in confirmation. "Alright, go back now. I have to go to my classes. I will see you later on, okay?" Alex said.

"Meow?" Pearl didn't understand what he meant but went back into his left arm without hesitation. "Alright, let's log out," he said as he logged out from the game.

He went to his classes as normal and studied them properly. Even though he was making a ton of money thanks to the game, he couldn't tell when it would all come crumbling down, so he needed to have some knowledge to get jobs later on.

After he was done with classes, however, he rushed back to the game. He logged into the game at 3 and a half o'clock and walked out of the home.

He walked out of the gate of the sect without saying anything. He quickly found his way to an empty alleyway and entered there. Once inside, he went invisible to change his garments. He took off the yellow robes that would identify him as a Tiger sect disciple and wore light green robes representing the Hong Wu sect.

Once he was changed, he turned off his invisibility and walked out. Then as swift as ever, he made his way to the Pink Cloud auction house.

He wasn't stopped at the entrance at all and was led to one of the rooms inside the hall without hesitation. After a few minutes, Cai Ping entered. It seemed that she was the only one told about his arrival whenever he came here.

"Hello, Daoist Yu. It has been a week since I saw you. We missed your pills during yesterday's auction. Quite a few people were disappointed." Cai Ping said as he teased Alex a little.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I have been busy this week due to something that came upon me unexpectedly. I have barely gotten any time to make pills now. However, I had free time yesterday, so I could make some more pills."

Alex slowly reached into his storage bag and pulled out a bunch of pills bottles. "Here you go," he said as he passed them along.

Cai Ping looked at the pill bottles and picked them up to count exactly 21 pills in total. She then proceeded to take out a pill tester to check every single pill he had brought in.

When she was finally done with all of them, she was dumbfounded. Half the pills among the 21 different pills were above 40% in harmony. 3 of them were even above 45% with 2 being at 47% and 1 being at 49%.

This was beyond what she had been imagining he would take out. The few other times he had come here, she was already shocked by the sheer number of quality pills he had brought, but now, the quality had gone up in level once more.

'I almost started to believe it was him who made this pill, but even if he is really a genius, that should be impossible. Did senior Ma Rong make it? That would make sense since he was together with senior Ma Rong during the previous auction, but her Common rank pills should definitely go above and beyond Heaven grade.'

'Did she send her failure with him?' she started to wonder.

"Daoist Yu, are you sure you want to sell these pills. They are quite amazing, so don't you want to keep it to yourself?" she asked.

"No. I'm an alchemist. I made those pills in the first place to sell. What would I do with them, if I just keep them in my storage bag, collecting dust?"

"I, see. Then let me set up your contract," Cai Ping said as she proceeded to prepare a contract using the talismans available on the table.

"Wait," Alex said as he saw her hand moving towards the talismans. "I have more to sell this time, other than just the pills."

"Oh," Cai Ping said in surprise. "Can I see what it is then?"
