Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

Chapter 69:Elemental Guidance

Alex went down to the sect valley a little earlier than required and went to a restaurant to eat something. Somehow just eating in the real world didn't affect his appetite in the game.

He checked his nameplate and saw that he had around 200 contribution points.

'I wonder if I need to pay to eat or not,' Although he had full authority over everything in the sect, he didn't know if the restaurant counted in that authority.

He walked in and check out what was being served today. Unlike the last time he had visited the restaurant, he wasn't broke today, so he decided to order one of the finer dishes.

Soon his order came back. It was a slow-roasted monster bird leg, with some fried vegetables on the side. He used his hand to pick the giant monster bird leg and took a massive bite.

The meat slid off the bone and dissolved in his mouth. He couldn't help but moan with pleasure as the sweet taste of meat filled his mouth. He took some vegetables with Qi on the side and ate them too.

Together with the freshness of the vegetables and the meaty flavor of the monster bird, he ate what he assumed to be the best food he had eaten in his entire life.

He took his time with the food and paid 20 contribution points at the end. He was hoping to not have to pay, but alas those were just hopes.

He walked towards the alchemy garden where the elders were tallying the requests by the disciples. Once they were done, they handed the list to Alex, who went into the garden to look for the ingredients.

Thanks to his amazing eidetic memory, he knew where every single one of the ingredients was, so he didn't need to spend a lot of time this time around.

Within half an hour, to the utter shock of the two elders, Alex came out of the garden and went to the other one. It took him a little more than half an hour on this site, but that was still a very unbelievable time.

He handed the collected ingredients back to the elders whose expression was just shock and amazement. After return back to his residence, he rested a bit and started trying out new pills.

He started with a pill called Hundred Poisons Antidote. It was a pill that could cure almost any poison so long as it was produced by a plant or monster in the self tempering realm.

He followed the recipe and made the pill with the cauldron's lid closing the escape. The energies would run out of the cauldron every time he had to put in a new ingredient, but it still helped a lot to keep most of the energies in.

He managed to successfully create the Hundred Poisons Antidote on the very first try. That too with a whopping 28% Harmony.

He tried some more and managed to make 5 more pills out of the remaining 3 sets of ingredients. All of those pills ranged from 30% to 36%.

He was really happy with the result. He was mentally fatigued by the 4th time, so he decided to take some rest, and recharge himself.

He felt like he had stabilized his cultivation enough and decided to break through once more. He opened his status and hit a breakthrough.

He had enough Qi right now, so he didn't want to cultivate. So, he decided to just quit for the day, and sleep. He logged out of the game for the first time in a while during the night and just fell asleep.

"Alex!! Alex!!" he heard someone calling his name. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Logan calling him.

"What's up?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's 7 am. Wake up. We are going to get some breakfast." Logan said.

"You guys go ahead, I will go soon." He said and walked into the bathroom.

He washed his face with cold water and started brushing his teeth. 'How come I wake up so accurately in the game, yet someone else had to wake me up in here?' he wondered.

He went to get some breakfast too and returned back soon. He logged back in to learn some more from his master.

Just like yesterday, Ma Rong came at around 8 am and taught him for 2 hours. She asked him a few questions to see how much he had understood but soon realized how redundant that was since he had opened up his spiritual sea and now had an eidetic memory.

"How many pills did you make yesterday?" she asked him.

"I made around 23 pills during the day and 6 during the night," he replied confidently.

"Show me," she said, asking him to bring out the pills.

"Master, I already sold all the pills I made during the day. I only have the ones I made last night."

"What? Why would you sell them? Never mind. Those are your pills and you are free to do with them whatever you please. But remember, keep some pills above 20% harmony. You need to register them to become a core disciple." She reminded.

"Oh, that's right. I almost forgot master. I will keep that in mind."

They focused back on the alchemy. Ma Rong watched him make pills and realized he was extremely talented at it. Perhaps, if he had the same cultivation as her, he would have surpassed her long ago.

She took out a talisman and handed it to him. Alex wondered what this talisman did. The first two talismans he got had high-level information on alchemy, and the third one was a communication talisman.

He quickly scanned the talisman and found out he couldn't understand a single word in it. Still, he read it all the way through and when he got to the end, suddenly something popped up in front of him.

He had just learned a new technique.
