Chapter 174: More Shocks (2/2)

”Yes, Master. It happened while I wasn't conscious due to my body tempering being very painful, so in the end, I only found out after master told me what had happened,” he said.

Ma Rong's eyes once again squinted as she asked, ”You keep saying you went through body tempering, don't you mean just normal cultivation?”

”No Master, I went through actual body tempering. I'm now a Body Cultivator as well,” Alex said.

Another Shock. This was the Fifth shock of the day she had received, and it hadn't even been 5 minutes since her disciple had returned.

The first shock was the new pill her disciple took out. The second shock was the rest of the pill recipes and formation blueprints her disciple had brought back. The third shock was the Saint realm monster's child, the little Cat that her disciple had bonded to. The fourth shock was the fact that her disciple had gone through mortal cleansing.

And now, learning that her disciple was a body cultivator, she was shocked once more. ”You really are a Body cultivator? How exactly?” she asked.

Alex went on to explain every single thing that had happened with him and Pearl cultivating. When she heard that he had to suffer through so much pain every single day, she winced a little.

Finally, after hearing everything, she said,” So, how strong are you right now?”

”My body is about the same strength as a Body Tempering 3rd realm cultivator,” he said.

Ma Rong nodded and sighed, ”That is quite strong. I didn't expect you to leave to Tiger Sect for 2 weeks and come back so strong.”

”Speaking of which, what is your cultivation base? I can't see it right now,” she asked.

”Oh, let me remove the concealment for a moment,” Alex said and showed off his cultivation aura once more. A cultivation base of Organ Tempering 4th realm slowly spread out its aura and Ma Rong felt it.

”You've truly become quite strong,” she said with a sigh. She had expected him to get stronger, but not by this much.

'Am I stifling this child's potential as a cultivator by not letting him cultivate and only having him make pills?' she started to wonder. While he was good at making pills, in her eyes, he was better at cultivating.

She started to have second thoughts about making him fully focused on Alchemy.

”Master?” Alex asked seeing her lost in her thought.

Ma Rong shook her head, ignoring the thoughts for now. ”You've done well. You've increased your cultivation by quite a substantial amount. Although you stopped practicing Alchemy for a while, it isn't as bad since you can continue it now. Alright, If you have nothing else to tell me, go register this pill and prepare for the upcoming core disciple test,” she said.

”Wait Master, I still have a few things more to tell you.”
