Chapter 98: Back To Sect

Chapter 98: Back To Sect

Once the book was sold, Cai Ping thanked everyone for coming and waited as everyone left the hall. Ma Rong took Alex with her as the lady in the room guided them to a room outside.

After waiting for a while, an old man with white hair finally entered the room.

"Hello, miss Ma. It's good to see you again." He said as he bowed towards Ma Rong a little.

Ma Rong also nodded a little and said, "Hello senior. It's been a while, hasn't it?"

Alex took the opportunity to greet as well. The old man then proceeded to take out two bags of storage and handed them to Ma Rong and Alex. "Please check it," he said and sat opposite them.

Alex looked into his bag and realized there were about 27 True spirit stones and a few Common spirit stones. After taking their cut of the sale, this was what the auction house had given him.

Even after giving 10% of this to the Deva Corporation, he would still have about 25K dollars for himself.

"Take it," suddenly he heard Ma Rong say something from the side. "Hmm…" he turned around to see that she was holding the dirty old book in her hand, giving it to him.

"Me?"

"Yes, I bought it for you. So take it." She said.

"Thank you, Master." He said and gladly took the book. He read the introductory page and was still amazed that the writings on the book were languages that people spoke.

'Why would the developers change the language?' he wondered. 'If most mortals speak the real-life language, I don't think it was necessary to make an entirely new language right?'

"Let's go," Ma Rong started walking away, and Alex followed her as well.

Most of the people had already left the auction hall, so they didn't meet anyone while walking out. Ma Rong took out her flying boat and flew back to the sect along with Alex.

It had taken them nearly 3 hours in total, and Alex wanted to go get some food. He logged out for his afternoon lunch and returned back.

'Should I leave my dorm room, so I can have a flexible schedule for myself?' he wondered, but immediately shook his head. Being in a dorm room had given him the freedom to play whenever he wanted, and also the university was just 5 minutes away.

If he were to leave now, he would have a hard time balancing his university, home, and game time.

'Alright, let's send my money first.' He opened the settings and found a button that opened the bank's panel for him. He put in the information for his bank and saved it. Then, he pressed another button that opened a panel to transfer his spirit stones to the saved bank account.

He put in all of his spirit stones and hit send.

<Do you want to send '2560 ($25,600) to XXXXXXXXXX343?>

He clicked yes. The spirit stones disappeared from his inventory, and he logged out. He waited for a moment and heard a notification sound.

He quickly opened his phone to see a message on it.

<$25,600 has been successfully transferred to your account>

He kept staring at the number and was shocked. It had been less than a month since he came to the city, and he had already earned so much.

"I should buy my own helmet on a free day," he thought. He marveled at the money for a while and went back to the game.

He took out the dusty old book and started reading. For some reason, this book took him an exceptionally long time to read. Almost twice as much as the Immortal Grade techniques. He didn't know if the reason for that was the difference in language, the length of the book, or the fact that it was just that exceptionally hard to understand.

Still, after about 10 or so minutes, he fully learned it. He opened the description to the technique. For some reason, the information took a couple of seconds to load, instead of loading instantly like every other time.

He wanted to test it out, but there was nothing he could try it on. This stumped him for a minute. 'I guess I'm not going to test it anytime soon then.'

He had nothing to do now, so he went to take some pills. There were still a few pills he could make today, and tonight he would have to get some ingredients from the alchemy garden to make the remaining 20 pills to be a core disciple.

He started making simple pills with the remaining ingredients for already made pills and went on to try out the new pills. He was already used to making high-quality pills, so every pill he made ended up having over 30% harmony with ease.

Around evening, he logged out to get his dinner and came back to the game to do his task for the night. He met elder Zhan and elder Wang and took the list for the ingredients.

He walked into the alchemy garden and got every single ingredient on the list as well as the ones he required for the pills he was going to register.

Between the two gardens, they had enough ingredients that he could use to make 7 of the remaining 130-ish pills he had recipes of. After handing the collected ingredient, he walked to the disciple hall. By now, his alchemy achievements had shot through the roof. While he wasn't in the top ten yet, at this rate it wouldn't take him more than a week to be at the top.

He went into the hall to the core disciple's section and registered his 3 new pills to the elder working there. Afterward, he returned to his residence.

"Alright! 7 more pills and I will become a core disciple as well."
