Chapter 111: Selling a pill (1/2)

”You can breakthrough any time you want?” Wen Cheng was a little confused. But then, he remembered something and his eyes became a little wider.

”Is it like what you did back in the southern forest? Don't you have to gather your Qi first to breakthrough?” Wen Cheng asked.

”Oh, yes. I do. But I already have enough Qi to breakthrough 4 more times if I wanted to.” Alex said.

”What?” Wen Cheng shouted once more. ”Is that true? They why haven't you done so already?” he asked.

”Well, that's because Master said that I should wait until my cultivation base is stabilized before I proceed any further with the breakthroughs.” Wen Cheng said.

”Oh, yeah that's right. When did you last breakthrough?” he asked.

”Umm… it was the day of the auction.” He replied.

”Just 2 days ago then? That's probably not enough time for you to stabilize. But after today's training, you should be close to it. Just a few more battles and you should be able to do it. Battle is one of the best ways to stabilize your cultivation after all.”

”Alright, then. Let's train some more. If you have enough Qi to breakthrough so many times, then you might as well spend the rest of the night stabilizing it. You can cultivate later on during the day to get more Qi.” Wen Cheng said.

'Or I can just eat some monster cores and pills. But I don't know if that has any effect on my cultivation base yet.' He thought.

They went back to fighting until the early morning and only then did they stop. Alex got a lot more understanding of the technique and was happy with the outcome. Before sunrise, Alex left the sect leader's building and disappeared.

He only reappeared when he reached near his new house and entered.

'Hmm… my Qi is depleted completely. Can I just eat a core to replenish it?' he wondered as he sat on his bed. It was too late to cultivate and he would have to log out in a while.

'Doesn't hurt to try,' he thought. He took out a random core from all the different monster cores he still had that he didn't sell. At the auction, he had only sold the corpses of the monsters that Luo Mei had given him, and he had kept the cores and materials for himself.

He put the core into his mouth and swallowed it. As soon as it entered his mouth, it turned into a creamy liquid that slid down his throat.

<Sun God's Divine Yang Body disintegrates everything>

<The monster core's element aligns with your spiritual root>

<You have gained 192,524 Qi>

'Well, at least my spiritual roots have that as an advantage. I can eat any core without worries.' He laughed a little.

However, he frowned once more. He had taken in the Qi, but it didn't fill up his body at all.

'Status' he decided to check if what he thought had truly happened.
