Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 166 - Talisman And Armor



"This…" Wen Cheng didn't know what to say. He was having trouble coming up with words to form sentences to speak right now. Luo Mei and Liu Xin were the same. 

Alex on the other hand was just having fun. After a while, they finally calmed down. 

​​

"Is that the only Heaven-grade pill you made?" Wen Cheng asked. 

"Yes. I haven't been able to make another one since then. Although, I should be able to once I go back and focus only on Alchemy."

"Hmm… that should help you," Wen Cheng said. "Alright then. All of you go back to your residence. You too, Yu Ming. Go take a rest for today. You've been training every day for 2 weeks now. In fact, I don't think you've cultivated in the last 5 days, have you?" Wen Cheng asked. 

"No, master," he replied.

"Yeah, you should not miss those. Don't just eat pills for your Qi. Cultivation is more than just gathering Qi. A little break in between is not bad, but you shouldn't go too long without cultivating. 

"I understand, Master." Everyone left the room and started going back to their own houses. "Yu Ming, wait a minute. I need to talk to you about something," Wen Cheng said. 

"Yes, master?" he asked. 

"I decided to wait until you were a Core disciple, but it seems that they will come after you regardless of what rank you are in, so here you go." Wen Cheng took out a small talisman and handed it to him.

"This is a talisman that can defend against the attack of a True Lord realm cultivator. Keep it on your body at all times, since you don't know when you might need it." Alex looked at the normal-looking talisman and was surprised that such a little thing could withstand the attack of a True Lord realm cultivator. 

'Isn't True lord the third of the True realms? This thing can block their attacks?' he thought to himself.

  "However, It can only block the attack for 1 time. So make sure that when it does happen, use your escape technique immediately. Since you have the concealment technique, you should be able to get out of harm's way soon," Wen Cheng said. 

"I understand, Master," Alex said as he kept the talisman inside his robes, instead of his storage bag. 

"Also, take this," Wen Cheng took out an armor from the storage bag. Alex was a little surprised as he saw the armor. The armor looked very weird as instead of having 1 opening for neck, 2 for arms, and 1 for torso; it had 1 opening for the neck, 4 for arms, and a small opening for … another arm?

"What type of armor is this master? Can I even wear this?" he asked. 

"Hahaha… This is not for you silly. This is for your beast. Take it." Wen Cheng handed it to Alex as well. 

Alex curiously looked around the armor and felt that it was quite sturdy. Actually more sturdy than he could have imagined. He turned the armor all over and started to get confused as he saw the entire surface. 

There were 2 problems with the armor. Firstly, it was too big. Pearl was at most the size of two palms now, but this armor would fit a grown adult's torso in it easily. 

Secondly, there was not a single seam in the armor, almost as if it was made entirely from a single ingredient. Looking at the material it was made up of, Alex thought that was impossible as the various green and brown colors would say otherwise. 

So, he decided to ask his master. "Master, do I wait until Pearl is as big as this armor before I make him wear it? I don't think he will need an armor by the time he gets this big. Also, how do I even make him wear this? Do I just put Pearl inside here and wait for him to grow into this armor?" he asked.

Wen Cheng chuckled at the hilarity of the statement and said, "Of course not silly. Just refine the treasure and you can freely use it on any beast companion you have. It can freely change its shape and size to match your beast." 

"Oh," Alex said, finally understanding. "How strong is it, master? What grade is it?" he asked. 

"This armor is a Common Heaven grade armor. The armor itself can block the damage of an early Mind Tempering realm cultivator. With your cat's current cultivation, he should probably be able to block up to Mind Tempering 4th realm attacks."

"Hmm… Although, I don't think that will be much help to you since your cat is so small and cant really block attacks."

"I see…" Alex kept looking at the armor. 

"Oh, and also, It can stay with your beast in their personal space inside your body, so you don't have to keep on putting the armor on them when they come out." Wen Cheng seemed to really like that part about the armor. 

"So, I just need to refine it and it's fine right?" Alex asked. 

"Yes," Wen Cheng replied and he sighed as he continued, "honestly, I wanted to give you an armor as well, but with your current rate of body cultivation, there isn't a single armor in the treasure hall that would be suitable for you. Also, I wanted to give your a sword too, but you already have that True grade sword, so I decided to change the sword for the defensive talisman." 

"I see, thank you, Master," Alex bowed a little towards Wen Cheng. 

"You don't have to bow to me. When I first got you as a disciple, I had already promised you about 2 artifacts from the treasure hall. Although one of them isn't really an artifact, I'm just keeping my promise." Wen Cheng said. 

"Either way, Thank you, master," Alex said. 

"Alright, you can go now," Wen Cheng said as he sent Alex back for the night. 

Saying his goodbyes, Alex too went back to his house number 86 to cultivate.
