Chapter 87: Evaluating the Pros and Cons (1/2)

”Of course, he would register in the outer sect section of the disciple hall. He is after all still an outer sect disciple. Where else would he register then?”

Ma Rong felt a headache coming. ”I should have told him to go to the elders directly. I can't believe he tried to register such important pills through an inner sect disciple. I can see now why you were called.”

”Honestly, I don't understand how someone can be so talented in cultivation and alchemy, yet so dumb when it comes to having the most basic of sense. It's almost like he was born a month ago, or at least was born in a place where cultivation isn't a thing at all.”

Lang Shun was stunned at his senior sister pretty much bashing on her disciple. Still, something she said caught his attention.

”Is he really that talented? I knew he was good from the entrance exam, but I didn't think he would be so talented to make 30+% harmony pills in less than a month.” He said.

”You don't even know the half of it. If he were to break through to the True Qi realm right now, he would best you in making True grade pills in less than a month, and best me in a month after that. That's how good he is.”

Ma Rong immediately changed from bashing on her disciple to praising him.

Lang Shun didn't know what to say, but the praise felt a little too unbelievable. ”Do you really believe that?” he asked.

Ma Rong simply said, ”You will see in a few months after he reaches True realm. Maybe it won't even take that long since I will start teaching him when half of his Qi transforms to True Qi.”

Ma Rong left after that. Lang Shun just stayed there stunned as only one question ran through his mind. 'Bone tempering to True realm in a few months... Is that even possible?'

Alex, in the meanwhile, had finally returned to his residence. The entire way through, he kept practicing the Flickering Shadows technique. He didn't walk a single step from the base of the mountain to his residence. He teleported the entire way through.

He was starting to get the hang of it but still had some trouble mentally processing the instant change of environment.

'I wonder if I would be better at it if my spiritual sea were to get larger.' Gaining spiritual sea had vastly increased his mental capability, so it would go without question that he would start thinking this way.

He went to his courtyard to train some more. He learned quite a few things while practicing the technique.

The technique had features he didn't expect, but also had a multitude of limitations he hadn't even thought of.
