Chapter 118: Capsules (1/2)
It was 3 am in the morning. Alex was still training with Wen Cheng. He had just finished learning another new technique a few hours earlier and had exhausted his Qi training on it.
”Alright, let's stop here for today.” Wen Cheng said as he casually blocked one of Alex's sword thrusts. Alex stumbled a little but came to a stop easily.
”Huh?” Alex looked at the clock in his vision and asked, ”But it's only been 3 am, Master. Aren't we going to fight until sunrise? Do you need to go anywhere?”
”No. We have an important job today. Around noon, I want you to come back here with a different face. Do you have a face-changing pill?” he asked.
'A different face?' Alex got confused. Still, he answered his master.
”Yes, master. I have one.” He said as he took out a Face Changing pill that he had made recently. Half of the pills he made for registering ended up with an extra pill. This was one of them. It was a 38% harmony Face Changing pill that could change a person's face for 38 hours.
”Good. I won't have to give you one then. Alright, at noon, come here with a different face. I, along with a few elders will take you deeper into the southern jungle, where you can find more alchemy ingredients.”
Wen Cheng had arranged an expedition along with a few elders to take Alex to find more ingredients. He was hoping he would find a Spirit Cleansing Lily so that he too could unlock spiritual sense just like his disciple, Luo Mei.
”I understand, Master,” Alex said. Wen Cheng handed him a small paper slip and Alex left the training hall. He disappeared after getting outside and made his way back to his house in the darkness of the night.
It didn't take him long to find his house numbered 168. During the last 3 days, he had managed to obtain badge 168. He walked into the house and sat on the unfamiliar, yet familiar bed. All the houses in the sect were designed according to the 3 ranks.
Outer sect disciple's houses were all the same. They had multiple rooms in one house and up to 5 disciples could live there at once.
The inner sect disciple's houses were simple, yet elegant. It had a single room, yet it gave the disciples peace and quiet while cultivating.
As for the core disciples, they had houses with courtyards, not unlike what Alex had back in the Hong Wu Sect. He had seen how good his senior sister's house looked when he had gone there to visit her.
He was now at Bone Tempering 8th realm as he had just broken through last night before training. He needed to be ready for the expedition at noon so he started cultivating. As usual, he lost his consciousness and ended up cultivating till the morning.
Once again, early in the morning, between 6 am and 7 am, he woke up. He directly logged out and went to get some breakfast along with the other 3 people.
