Chapter 180 Raising Fund
"Soaring Fist"
Xian Tao's fist collides with Alex's Seven Stars Cut. The ground was shaking, and the wall was vibrating. They felt strong winds blowing their body.
"Ha!" Xian Tao uses every ounce of his strength. He felt Alex's Sword Wave was far stronger than any of his previous attacks. He can only bet on his life to block this attack. But the conclusion came suddenly.
Alex Sword Wave cut through Xian Tao's energy which covering his fist. It continues toward his hand, and last split him into half.
With Xian Tao's life, Anna leveled up. Now, Anna is level 15, and Leoz is still level 19, but his exp has increased considerably. When Anna and Leoz overjoyed with the result,
"Cough!" Alex suddenly spat out blood and dropped in his knees. Although his 'Full Throttle' is still in effect, the side effect for using a borrowed power from the pond weakens him.
"Young Master!" Anna and Leoz immediately checked him.
"It's okay. Firstly, Anna, Leoz. I want you to cover the entrance and clear the rock, so no one realizes there is something here and won't bother us for a while."
"Understood." Leoz only nodded since it is the best option. If they were bothered again, Alex would inevitably join the fight, and it will only worsen his condition. While they fix the entrance, Alex can relax and recuperate here.
"But Young Master..." Anna also has a point. Even though it is the best choice for them. Her heart hurt in leaving Alex in his current condition.
"I'm alright for now. I can stabilize myself here. But if there is another fight like this. He/she will wipe us out." Alex comforted Anna and told his reasoning, which Anna has already known.
Anna sighed and left his side to do her job, albeit reluctantly. She will fix the entrance swiftly, in order to return to Alex's side as soon as possible.
After Anna and Leoz left, He started recuperating his injuries. And once again,
[Congratulations, Host. You just earned another three months to build your foundation after you reached 5-Star Martial Master]
"Shut up. Don't rub salt on my wound" Alex snorted jokingly. He checked his current condition, "I can stabilize myself in four days. Then, I can return to my full strength in a week. I will also raise some funds on my way back home."
After a few minutes, Anna and Leoz came back. Alex looked at Leoz, "Leoz, what are you going to do now, and how far your previous location to this Zunde Field?"
"Zunde Field..." Leoz suddenly took out a map from his backpack. Now that Alex looked at it. "Leoz, you didn't have anything like Inventory or Spare Ring?"
"Inventory is Master sole possession. As for Space Ring, I'm thinking of exchanging my hunt for Spirit Stones and buy a Space Ring."
Facepalmed, Alex sighed. "Sorry, this is my fault. I neglect this part."
"No. It wasn't your fault, Young Master. We are alone in this world without anyone supporting us. Everything we got came from our own hard work."
"..." Alex paused a bit before asking again. "What are you going to do now?"
"I will wait for Young Master to recuperate first before continuing my mission."
"If that so, wait first. I will buy you a Space Ring in a nearby town" Alex said. Leoz wanted to reject, but Alex stopped him.
After reaching an agreement with Alex. Leoz explaining his current situation. "This is Zunde Field, and this is Thiveapia Kingdom. I was leveling up in this forest."
Leoz pointed out at a forest called Ebony Lizard Woodland. Alex looked at it and thought of a plan. "I will recuperate for a few days. Then go back home. But, Assuming that fatty is a Young Master of a big family. I assume there would be another one waiting for him in the nearest town, which is Springmond Town. Such as I'm planning to go in the opposite direction. That means, I'm going to Shades Town, Finwold City, until I reach the sect.
Since we are going in the same direction, I will buy a Space Ring in the Shades Town for you. Then, Anna and I will go back to the sect while you will continue the mission."
"Should I change my mission from Thiveapia Kingdom to Zhou Kingdom and observe the situation around Xian Family?"
Alex pondered a bit then shook his head. "No, for the time being. They didn't know their fatty died in our hands. If we suddenly did that, we will only alarm them. So, I want you to continue your mission and search around Thiveapia Kingdom."
"Understood" Leoz nodded.
After cleaning the dead bodies, Alex recuperate wholeheartedly.
Four days have passed. Alex has stabilized his strength. After stabilizing his strength, Alex refined all the pill ingredients he had at the moment. He made fifty Fire Spirit Pills and twenty Jade Heart Pill. But it took him another two days to make all of them.
"Leoz, Anna, we are going back now."
"Yes, Young Master" Both of them answered.
Not long after, they went out of the cave and then fixed the entrance again, so no one will notice there is something inside. The position of this cave was pretty covered by the woods, and if not because of the giant boulder in front of the entrance, Xian Hui and the rest wouldn't notice them. So, Fixing the entrance to make them natural can blind people who are passing here.
After that, all of them started flying toward Shades Town. Fortunately, they didn't sense anyone powerful searching in the area. When they arrived, Alex recalled Anna and have Leoz to protect him. Alex put his mask on along with his long black robe to conceal his aura and cultivation.
Their destination is the Alchemist Guild. For what? Of course, to sell pills. This is Alex's way of raising a fund. Sell the pills, get Spirit Stones, buy the ingredients, and make pill from those ingredients, and lastly, sell it in another town. Repeating that process, Alex can get money without alarming the power inside that town.
Shades' Town Alchemist Guild wasn't that luxurious compared to the one in Heavenly Sword Town, but it still grand enough. As expected of Alchemist Guild, they had a deep pocket. Alex walked toward the receptionist. This receptionist is a polite looking middle-aged man, Although there is nothing remarkable in his appearance, he can feel he will be able to serve him well.
Alex goes to him since the one beside him currently handling the customers. The two customers are ladies. On the right, she has straight blonde hair reaching to her waist, along with Shining blue eyes set gracefully within their sockets. There is no trace of arrogance in her cheerful expression. Alex can't see through her cultivation but after activating his Spirit Eyes. He can see boundless energy inside her tiny body. It made Alex overwhelmed upon seeing her energy. He never thought inside that 5 ft body of her has so much energy that far surpassed Xian Tao's at 5-Star Grandmaster Stage. But even though she is a bit short, she indeed has a good body. The curves and edges indeed perfectly complement her small body.
Beside her is another lady with long green hair. Unlike the one beside her, who appears to be cheerful and easygoing, this lady has an elegant aura surrounding her. Her green eyes are giving an aura of politeness. When Alex saw her energy, it seems she is far weaker than the blonde but still stronger than Xian Tao. She has a modest curve and edges. A long dress would be perfect for her.
"I need a Jade Heart Pill. Do you have one?" The blonde asked.
"We had one yesterday, but Hesna Family already bought it." The receptionist apologized to her.
"I see" The blonde said, a bit downcast.
"Senior Sister. Why do you suddenly want to buy Jade Heart Pill?"
"You know that Master wanted me to take another disciple under me, right?"
"Yes. He would be the second after me. But, Master is the one who forced you to do it. I was confused as to why Master suddenly wanted Senior Sister to take another disciple, especially a male." Even though, the green hair was a bit irritated. There is no trace of hate in her tone.
"No matter what! He would be your Junior Brother. Since he is a new disciple, he must be a Martial Master. I should give him a meeting for the first meeting." She said cheerfully. Even though her appearance was cheerful and carefree, she was, in fact, a responsible person.
"Haiz. It's really fortunate to be under your tutelage, Senior Sister. Of course, I'm one of them. Master also treated me well."
"Ahaha, you make me embarrassed. Well, since there is no Jade Heart Pill in this town. We need to stop at the next town again to see if they have it until we reached the sect." Just as they wanted to go, Alex and Leoz came. They have no knowledge about the two ladies' need beside them since they just came in.
"How can I help you?" The middle-aged man asked Alex and Leoz politely.
"I want to sell my pills" Alex said.
"Very well. I will call the elder, who is in charge of identifying the pill. If possible, would you please tell me what is your excellency pill and its quantity?"
"Fifty Fire Spirit Pills and Twenty Jade Heart Pills" Alex said.
When Alex said that, The old man in front of him froze along with the receptionist beside him and the two ladies.
"I will immediately call the elder" The old receptionist goes to the back room hurriedly.
"Senior Sister?" The green-haired lady was signaling her senior sister.
"Wait a bit." She can see Leoz's cultivation, which is a 9-Star Martial Master. But she can see through Alex's cultivation. She didn't feel anything from Alex, in fact. From her experience, usually, if she can't feel someone's cultivation. It means he/she was stronger than her.
She is wondering who is this person in front of her. From the look of it, the muscular man is the masked man's disciple. If his cultivation is high, it is possible for this masked man actually a high ranking Alchemist. But why he only sell Rank 2 Pills? She is unable to understand this. Especially, she felt his voice that of a young man. Is he come from...
Not long after, the old receptionist came back along with another elderly. Alex took out seven bottles, each of them contained ten pills. "You can check. All of them have the same quality. Give me the price."
When he opened the lid, the pill aroma that was confined inside the bottle burst out. The rich aroma coming from ten perfect purity fills the room.
The elder, who check them, shocked. "This...this...Perfect Purity Jade Heart Pill"
Not only the elder. This also shocks other people besides him. They remembered the words this mysterious man said.
Fifty Fire Spirit Pills...Twenty Jade Heart Pills...and they have the same purity? Doesn't that mean all of them are Perfect Purity Pills? They were somehow able to ignore the Perfect Fire Spirit Pills. But, to make twenty Perfect Jade Heart Pills...
Even though Rank 3 Alchemist can make Perfect Jade Heart Pill. The chance to succeed in it is low. To make so many Jade Heart Pill, It is either the Alchemist has a higher rank than Rank 3 Alchemist or he acc.u.mulates them.
"Sir. We will buy the Fire Spirit Pills for a thousand Spirit Stones each and two thousand Spirit Stones for Jade Heart Pills." The elder said hurriedly. Although their normal price is around one thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones for Perfect Purity Jade Heart Pill. It is different when someone wants to sell it in bulk. They can stock up and preserve the pills for a long time and release them in an Auction. For something that hard to come by appeared. He is sure that the families in this town would offer a better price in the auction.
"Sure." Alex nodded. It is the same price as the Alchemist Guild in Heavenly Sword Town. He had prepared himself if the Guild in this town offer a slightly lower price since the price in Heavenly Sword Town was higher. But since he offers the same price. Of course, he would accept it.
Then suddenly, a blonde comes to him, "I'm sorry, Sir. Would you able to part one of the Jade Heart pills to me. I will also pay the same price."
