Chapter 41：Explosion (1/2)
Alex had gone to the eastern side of the Scarlet City for 2 days straight now. So, he decided to visit the western side this time. When he walked out of the western gate, he felt a sense of deja vu as he remembered that this was the place he was first brought to when he logged in.
He started combing the outer areas of the forest for alchemy ingredients and was very happy when he realized there were a lot of them here. Unlike the eastern side where he had foraged for 2 entire nights, the western side's ingredients were pretty much in an immaculate state.
He started picking up all the ingredients he could find. He didn't know how many of them he would ever even find a use for, but he still kept them just in case.
He ignored most of the Skin tempering realm monsters unless they were too annoying to ignore, it which case he would just lift them up with his Qi and smash them into the ground. He was at least that good with his Qi.
He was fascinated with the concept of controlling his whole body with his Qi and thought it would be practically flying if he could do that.
But alas, the most he could do with himself was hover about 20 centimeters off of the ground. He had tried a few more times, but 20 cm was the best he could do.
He hadn't tried after reaching Bone Tempering 1st Realm but had assumed the result would be the same. Still, he was happy he could lift other objects as well.
He had also realized that when using Qi manipulation on anything with cultivation, it became increasingly harder to move them with Qi the higher their cultivation was.
It was as if higher cultivation monsters were resistant to lower or similar cultivation's Qi amount.
After finishing the outer part of the forest, he walked into the inner part where the Muscle Tempering realm monsters lived.
Alex kept the monkey's corpse and walked along. He didn't see a lot of cultivators on this side of the forest. He had seen quite a few Skin Tempering realm rogue cultivators on the outer edge of the forest, but there were almost none where he was.
It didn't take him long to realize why that was. He had walked for over 5 hours and had yet to see a single monster above Muscle Tempering 6th realm.
Granted he was combing more area due to his search for the materials, but it still should not have taken him this long to see a monster with cultivation close to his.
'No wonder there are no cultivators here. There are barely any monsters, to begin with, and even if there were, one would have to walk in so deep to find them.
Alex kept walking forward. The night was particularly cloudy today, but his vision was still not hampered at all. He walked a little bit further and met his first Bone Tempering realm monster.
It was a giant bird that had a particularly sharp beak. He focused on the bird and something popped up above it.
