Chapter 56：Spiritual Sea (1/2)

”Are you alright?” Ma Rong asked as soon as she entered.

Alex was a little perplexed as to what she meant. So, he simply answered, ”Yes. I am alright.”

”What were you doing sleeping in the courtyard? I was worried you were sick or something.” She said with a concerned look on her face.

”Oh, uhh… I was cultivating over the course of last night, and must've fallen asleep outside in the courtyard,” He said.

'Damn. Does the game not remove your character from the world while you log out?' he thought. Until now he had assumed that whenever someone logged out of the game, the game would remove their bodies from the play so that it didn't hinder anything else.

'I shouldn't log out in dangerous places from now on,' he said to himself.

”Fall asleep while cultivating? Why would you fall asleep while cultivating?” she asked.

”Huh? Do you not fall asleep while cultivating? I have never been awake when I cultivated,” he answered simply.

Ma Rong looked at him like she had just heard something very absurd. ”What sort of cultivator falls asleep while cultivating? What if you get attacked while you were cultivating? What would you do then? Simply die?” she asked.

Alex thought for a moment and couldn't come up with an answer. 'That's right. What would I do if something life-threatening happened while I was cultivating? Would I get woken up by the threat? Or would I simply die?' His master's worries made sense.

He followed his master to the alchemy room in his house. There was no need for paying contribution points to use alchemy rooms here.

She sat down on one side of the room and told him to sit on the other side. Once they were both seated, they were both on either side of the fire.

She took out a cauldron and placed it on top of the fire. The cauldron was made up of green material, with gold objects attached to it.

”I promised to give you this cauldron, didn't I? This cauldron is called the 'Golden Jade cauldron'. It was given to me by my master when I surpassed him in alchemy. It's a True Mortal Grade cauldron, and from today on, it is yours.” Ma Rong spoke with a bit of emotion in her voice.

”Alright. We will start now. You don't have anything to do before we start right?” she asked.

Alex thought for a bit and decided he should ask her something. He took a deep breath and said, ”Master, I unlocked my spiritual sense today.”

”Okay. If that is all then we can sta— ” Ma Rong stopped as she was talking. ”What did you just say?” she looked at him as if she misheard what he had just said.
