Chapter 459 - 100% (1/2)
”Hundreds? So many?” Ma Rong asked in surprise.
”Yes, the storm flew many of the yang jades in the desert over to the riverside. Thankfully, the storm was mostly concentrated in one area, so they all dropped at the same time. But that meant that I had to fight will all of those strong beasts too,” Alex said.
”Right, I meant to ask you this before,” Ma Rong said. ” Those beasts… they weren't weak, were they?”
”No. I would say they were around Organ Tempering realm to Meridian Tempering realm in strength,” Alex said.
”I see… so you are that strong now, huh?” Ma Rong said. ”Alright, go back home and rest for now. I will see you tomorrow to teach you Alchemy as I promised.”
”Oh, about the procedure to make True pills? Nice. I was waiting for that all week. Alright then, see you, tomorrow master, ”Alex said and left.
Ma Rong watched Alex walk away and sighed as a sad face took over her. ”Just when will he catch a break?” she thought.
Alex went into his house and jumped into the pond to wash once more. When he was done, he looked at the time and saw that it was only 10 pm right now.
It was still too early for him to just start cultivating, so he wondered if he should eat those Yang Jades right now.
He took one out and his body hungered for him to eat it. Suddenly, Alex remembered something.
”Oh no,” he thought and immediately logged out of the game. When he was out, he felt an intense need to use the bathroom as soon as possible.
He hadn't been out of the game in over 2 days. Just under 2 days was the recommended number of hours the doctors said was good for your body, and Alex crossed it by quite a few hours easily.
Once he was out of the room, he felt hunger like he hadn't felt in a while now. He made his way to the kitchen and ate all of the leftovers that Emily cooked for him every day.
Not only that, but he also prepared some food for himself and ate those as well. Only then was his hunger finally satiated.
Once he was done, he returned back to his room and entered the game again.
Alex opened his eyes back on the courtyard where he had logged out. He once again took out a Yang Jade and looked at it.
Since his body hungered for one still, he put the yang jade in his mouth and swallowed it.
Suddenly, he felt the hot Yang Jade melt in his tongue and flow down his throat. Then, he could start seeing the notifications once more.
The numbers surprisingly started from a random point in the middle and counted upwards. Soon, his yang Purity reached 80% and stopped.
He could feel the remaining Yang in his body whittling away for some reason after it reached 80%. The Qi in his meridian got a little denser and the reduction of quantity was filled by the remaining yang Qi in the Yang Jade that he didn't get to consume.
”Just 2 more and I can reach 100%. I wonder what sort of improvement I will see when I reach 100%,” Alex thought.
So, he took out another yang jade and ate it. Soon, he was once again seeing the different notifications that said that his body was purifying the Yang Qi.
After a few more minutes of pain, his Yang purity reached 90%. No extra Qi was remaining, so he could tell that he was missing some Qi that he could probably cultivate back.
Alex couldn't wait, so he took the final piece of the yang jade he needed and ate it. Immediately, he could feel the pain once again, but he was used to it now.
1%, 2%, 3%…
He patiently waited and watched as the number went up steadily.
51%, 52%, 53%…
Alex was really excited to reach 100%. He waited and waited and waited for a long time. Finally, it was coming to a close.
97%, 98%, 99%…
”Just one more,” Alex thought.
100%
<Congratulations, your Yang purity had reached a 100
Alex felt his meridians suddenly have less Qi in them, but way more compared to previous times, but not a lot.
From what he could tell, his Qi was compressed to the amount that he could probably compete to a Mind Tempering 7th realm, or maybe even 8th realm cultivator in terms of pure Qi density.
