The Invincible Corruption Manual

.....Forget about concocting pills, I can't use any of the techniques, skills, and weapons that I have learned until the moment of the promise. So, I can't." Joey denied him strongly.

"Huh! You make a heavenly oath like that. Which meant you are basically nothing more than a cripple. But I'm a bit confused here, why in the hell name did you make such a stupid pledge in the first place?" Jugge said as if scolding him for making such a rash promise.

"I know it's stupid. But still, I need to save my daughter and that is the only way to make it happen. You get me, old man?" Joey responded and then he continued, "And it's also the very reason why Ran Er is not happy seeing you today."

"I don't understand."

"Senior Jugge, my wife Ran Er, definitely knew that you are here to ask about the pills. So, she is quite unhappy and sentimental in thinking that I have to pay such a heavy price to save our daughter. She liked to share the burden too." Joey explained.

"Huh, you two already have a daughter? I'm sorry for my earlier words." Jugge was even more shock at hearing that and he asked, "Did someone kidnap her to make you into making that pledge?"

"No, it's just something else. Alright, did you accept my proposal or not?" Joey said.

"Okay, deal! But I'll take only 5% of the profit. Then I'll excuse myself too." Jugge responded and then he disappeared from within the thin spot.

"It goes quite well than I imagine." Joey mused and then he returned sitting on the cultivating mat cross-legged.

Then he meditated and started planning to cultivate the Smithing Cultivation Technique.

He muttered explaining to himself, "This cultivation technique has five realms unlike other techniques; mortal realm, earth realm, sky realm, the heaven realm, and last but not the least, the Divine armament Realm which even Ancestor Chen failed to achieve during his lifetime. And each of them is graded from level 1 to 10. And my current cultivation base barely reached level 1 after practicing under my ancestor's guidance for 7 months in the consciousness world that he crafted. Powerwise, if I were able to reach level 9 of Mortal Realm then I can easily defeat those in the Boundless cultivation-based masters in this place."

He outlined his next course of plan and then he meditated calming his mind and he started cultivating the Smithing Technique, absorbing the natural qi into his body from outside the surrounding air.

Meanwhile, on the top of an isolated mountain that was 15 miles away from the Alchemy Union, a beautiful lady clad in a white silk dress appeared out of nowhere. She was none other than Chun Churan.

Inserting a trace of her internal origin chi into her space ring, Chun Churan took out a portable pink pouch from inside the ring.

It was a universal beast pouch.

After that, she chanted a mnemonic along with a series of hand seals, and she yelled, "Unseal!"

The next instant, the pink beast pouch levitated in the air and became larger and larger and its mouth opened up.

"Bao Er, come out. I have some errand for you to run." Chun Churan called out.

Just as she said her words, a black phoenix flew out from the mouth of the beast pouch.

It flew around and chirped twice and then it flew down the ground to land. It transformed into a young lady with long and straight black hair covering the lower part of her body.

She bowed slightly and asked with her cheerful tone, "Master, do you have anything good for Bao Er?"

"Don't worry I have a lot of sweet pills with the purest level that you have ever tasted before." Chun Churan responded and she inserted another trace of origin chi into the space ring and a small glass bottle containing three golden color pigeon egg-like pills appeared in her hands.

Seeing that, the black phoenix in human form was excited with full of curiosity and she asked, "What grade are they?"

"Tier-3 pills!" Chun Churan responded.

Hearing that, Bao Er pouted and turned around and cried, throwing a tantrum at her, "Bao Er, don't like eating those pills below tier-4. Master, don't you those pills that you use to give to me?"

Chun Churan ignored her as she opened the cap of the transparent small glass bottle.

Just as she opened it, a redolent smell spread out from inside the bottle and it assaulted the nostril of the phoenix, making her drool all over.

Bao Er slurped her saliva, turned around, and yelled, "Master, Bao Er changes my mind. Can I still eat those three pills?" And she gave a pleading look with her puppy-like eyes which anyone could hardly say, no to.

Chun Churan gave a jovial smile and passed the bottle to her and said, "Bao Er, they are yours."

"Yippee!" Bao Er held the small glass bottle with her two hands and started running around happily.

Chun Churan thought in her head, 'She is still a child indeed.'

Bao Er took out one golden pill and popped it into her mouth.

"Um, Master, is it a tier-3 pill? It melts into my mouth. And… the energy contained in it is pretty good too." she said, closing her eyes while savoring the taste of the pill.

After a few minutes, Qin Bao asked looking at Chun Churan, " Master, now, please tell. What errand should I run for you?"

Chun Churan took out the dossier of papers from inside his space ring and she said, "Go to our Hall Of Treasure and bring this dossier to elder Li and tell him to get those materials within a few days and you should bring those materials to me as soon as possible. Just inform me through the communication crystal when you get back. We'll meet on this mountain. Now, you can leave, little girl!"

Bao Er jumped, turning into a gigantic phoenix and she flew away while chirping sharply…..(please, stay tuned!)
