Chapter 40 - He Couldnt be Wrong About Men Too, Right? (1/2)

Krune went to take the necessary information for study first, since he got a Four Stars Badge then he doesn't need to make One Star pills to sell anymore, he wants to start with Three Stars Pills, they definitely are worth much more, he also took his 1000 Rank Three middle quality spirit stones reward, every spirit stone is precious after all.

He decided to spend the next few days to memorize all the content available up to Three Stars Alchemy before coming back to start learning pill concoction, although he got the Four Stars Badge, he isn't a Core Formation Realm cultivator after all, he closed himself in his room after that, he will spend the day for study and the night for cultivation, his breakthrough is close so he can't relax just now.

In the same day, supervisor Go Gao came to the mercenary guild to pay a visit to Lu Ganan, the supervisor of the mercenary guild.

”Go Gao, it has been a while, why did you come here?”

Go Gao had a serious expression.

”Can we talk in private? I have something important to discuss.”

Lu Ganan felt puzzled with Go Gao's behavior, usually this guy would smile all the time, to see his serious face is something rare.

Inside of Lu Ganan's office, the both of them were staring each other, supervisor Go took a deep breath and started to talk.

”Did supervisor Lu know that your member, Krune, came to our alchemist guild to take part of the alchemist test?”

Lu Ganan was taken aback with this question, the Mercenary Head Quarters asked to keep an eye out for Krune, so he did know that Krune went to the alchemist guild, but why would Go Gao come to pay a visit to him just to talk about that? The mercenary guild doesn't forbidden any of it's members to join other guilds after all.

”I do know, as you probably heard, the Mercenary Guild puts a lot of importance on him, we received orders from the Head Quarters to keep an eye on him, but we don't stop our members from joining other guilds, so what is the problem? Could it be that Krune created some problem for your guild?”

Supervison Go was surprised, the mercenary head quarters is putting a lot more importance into Krune than he thought they would, this isn't good news for him.

”Lu Ganan, Krune has passed the alchemist guild exam, not only that, but he was able to create a Three Stars Qi Gathering pill on his very first try, he is able to feel the sync of the elements inside the cauldron which is something that only Core Formation Realms should be able to, the only exceptions are the direct disciples at the Alchemist Head Quarters, but even so, the earliest someone was able to do that was at the 7th Stage Foundation Establishment, Krune, on the other hand, is capable of doing that while still at the 2nd Stage, his future as an alchemist is limitless.”

Go Gao looked directly at Lu Ganan's eyes.

”I will be direct, we want Krune to leave your Mercenary Guild and be part of the Alchemist Guild alone, any price is negotiable.”

To his surprise, Lu Ganan answered him straight away.

”Out of question.”

He then said.

”Our Mercenary Guild has great hopes for him, our Yule Continent hasn't had such a Genius for a long time, you might not know this but it has been over ten martial gatherings since our Yule Continent was able to send someone as representative of the mercenary guild, the Head Quarters has great hopes for him to be able to do that two years from now. So I can't accept your request.”

Supervisor Go didn't give up though.

”He is also a part of our Alchemist guild now, and the guild has made an exception too, so we bestowed him a Four Stars Alchemist badge, we will not allow such a Genius to throw his live away for some barbaric gathering.”

Lu Ganan didn't relent.

”Martial prowess is vital for ones safety, impeding him from doing battle is the same as cut his martial path in the middle, since he is a battle genius, the best way to temper him is through life and death battles, only like that can he achieve greatness.”

Go Gao got angry.

”Bullsh*t! Are you saying that Krune can't achieve greatness as an alchemist? Alchemy is one of the most respected professions in our entire world, no, in the entire universe! He can achieve much more by following the alchemist path alone!”

Lu Ganan didn't want to hear anymore.

”That's enough! Anyway, we won't let Krune go, our Mercenary Guild found him first! If you want him to be an alchemist, fine! But we won't agree to him stopping his martial path.”

Go Gao then stood up and left, but not before leaving a few words behind.

”Our Alchemist Guild will not give up, I will show to everyone that Krune's correct path is alchemy, he has no need to risk his life meaninglessly!”

Just like that, a fight started between both guilds of Kaley City, as for the culprit, he was peacefully cultivating during the night, he had no idea about what was happening outside, Yusa and Ao tried to contact him, but Krune didn't want to be disturbed, so he turned off his communicator, just like that, a week passed.

---

It was almost 5 o'clock in the morning when suddenly, people close to Krune's room could feel the spiritual energy of the surroundings rushing in his room direction.

”Someone is breaking through”

Was the thought of the majority.

They were right, after going through a life and death battle against the Earth Dragon and using the Five Elements Paste, he got very close to finish reinforcing his planet to resist the breakthrough into the 3rd Stage, now that a week of cultivation had passed, he had finally finished his preparations and achieved the next realm, after spending some time to stabilize his spiritual energy, Krune took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

'3rd Stage Foundation Establishment, it's already been over three months since I achieved the 1st stage back in Katiu Forest, I had spent less than a month to get to the 2nd stage, but I used over two months to get to the third stage, I will have a better idea about the time I need to reach the Core Formation Realm after I break through into the 4th stage of Foundation Establishment.'

Krune stood up and went to take a shower, he then took a few more looks into the Three Stars Alchemy information to make sure he remembered everything necessary and decided to go to the Alchemist Guild to start his Three Stars pill making, his universe foundation needs way too much spiritual energy, so he was left with less than a thousand Spirit Stones of the Rank Three, the majority were middle quality from the time he passed the Alchemist Exam. But then he remembered supervisor Go's request.
