Chapter 250: Handwriting (1/2)

The door was open, and Wan Li was inside still reading. 'Damn, he must be really studious. No wonder he is the best disciple in alchemy,' Alex thought.

'I should read some more advanced knowledge in the library some next days. At the very least, I can keep them in mind while I tread for True realm,' he thought. His next course of action was to go to the Tiger sect and fight a lot to stabilize his cultivation base and breakthrough as fast as possible.

It was getting late but he had already eaten a lot at the party so he didn't want to eat anything for the day. He couldn't even cultivate in front of Wan Li, so he just decided to stay there doing nothing.

'Oh right, let's manage my storage bags,' he thought and started to quickly swap items around. He quickly filled 3 different bags with 2 different types of ingredients, two bags for common rank pill ingredients, and one bag for True rank pill ingredients.

He kept the Saint Rank pill ingredients in their original bag since that was enough. He kept his weapons and armors and cauldrons all in a single old bag, and everything miscellaneous was spread around the older bags. He decided to keep the other 2 new bags for something he might end up encountering in the future.

”What are you doing, brother Yu?” Wan Li asked.

”Oh, I was just organizing my things,” Alex said.

”Ah, I thought you were just bored or something. It looked like you had nothing to do,” Wan Li said.

”You're… not wrong. I didn't know what to do so I started to organize my bags,” Alex said.

”I see. Do you want to read my books? I have a lot of those,” Wan Li said.

Alex thought for a bit. He didn't really have anything to do so he accepted. Wan Li took out a book from his storage bag and handed it to Alex.

Alex sat back down on his bed, looking at the very unprofessional-looking book. 'There isn't even a title,' Alex thought as he opened the book.

The very first page of the book was surprising for him. That was because the handwriting on the book was very bad. 'Huh? What sort of person sells a book with such bad handwriting?' Alex wondered.

He thought for a bit and a possibility struck him.

”Brother Wan Li, did you by any chance write this book?” he asked. Looking at the condition of the book, that was the only thing that fit the situation.

”Oh yeah. I have a not-so-great memory, so it takes time for me to learn stuff. As such, I instead write everything down on my book so that I can easily read it later on and remember it,” Wan Li said.

”You will hopefully learn something from it too, Brother Yu,” Wan Li said with a smile. Alex was surprised. Someone actually wrote a book on their own? He couldn't believe it.

He sat back down and decided to read it despite the nearly illegible handwriting.

He read for a few minutes, and soon his eyes started opening wide. The more he read, the more he would be surprised.

'What in-depth analysis. He has written everything that happens during an alchemy process down, and that is despite the fact that he doesn't have a spiritual sense.'
