Chapter 226 Choosing Reward
'Only a Space Element Array Master could make a space ring. People used that opportunity to amass money. Of course, there were some weak Space Element Array Masters that got captured and enslaved to make money.
This Space Plate was a kind of space inside those rings. We used our Spiritual Energy as the medium to create a connection between this real world and make a very small space room in that illusory world. I call it Space Plate. It might be easy to make a big space ring. But the only reason for that is because the Spatial Stones increased the potential of it.
Without it, it was very hard to make a Space Room that big, unless you have a deep understanding of space.'
Alex continued reading the book. He realized that when he confident in making a Space Ring back in the lower world after finding a Spatial Stone in the storage of the Demihuman Council. It was because of the Array. He only needs to make the array, and his Space Element will work like magic. It also applied to his Simulation Room since he made it with some tweaking from the Space Element.
Unfortunately, after reading the Spatial Door manual from the 'Skewes Family'. He realized that he didn't really understand the space element a little bit. He also found a similar explanation about space like this from that manual. Now that he read this, he was convinced by the fact that he didn't understand anything about Space Element.
Alex contemplated. Should he grab this book and go to the elder? The elder might know about his Space Element. He suddenly recalled that the jade token was only giving him another chance to grab a book from here. That means he can still use the point inside his token. This way, he can grab two books at the same time.
He decided to grab a Fire Art since this pavilion would be empty at this time. With that, the disciple would not be able to know his Fire Element, and the elder would not be bothered enough to tell everyone he had a fire element. Now that he found a Space Element Art. He can use his Fire Art as a cover and say that he was interested in this book even though he didn't have a Space Element. Since having one element was the norm in this world.
He should only have a Pure Fire Element if the system didn't mutate him with its unique element and allow him to have a space element. Even his Master got his Space Element from an inheritance. He grabbed the book and went to the Fire Arts and finally chose a Fire Arts. It called, 'Sunlight Wing'
It had two different functions. The wing can be used like a 'Jetpack', and it also can make the wing produce fire flares and shot out to the enemy. Basically, it was a kind of his firebirds but stronger.
He took those two books with him. Alex had more than a thousand sect points initially, and with the addition of the mission that he went with Putri. Because that mission escalated to something far more dangerous. They decided to give Putri and him five thousand points each from the original three hundred points in total. Considering the mission had escalated from a small mission for 1-Star Martial Grandmaster. It escalated to Suppression Array that can only be bypass by Martial Lord to the extermination of Bell family.
The sect decided to raise it to the Martial Lord level mission and rewarded them with two thousand points each. For the time being, Alex didn't have any difficulty in his sect points.
He took the books and gave it to the elders. He also handed him his token, "Elder, I choose these two books. I will pay with my Sect Points for the other book."
The elder was shocked by the books that Alex showed to him. It was not the 'Sunlight Wing' but it was the' Space Plate'. "You, do you know what this book is? What is your element? Do you have a space element?"
"No. My element is Fire. I saw a rack with only this book in it, the dust cover this book, and the name sound interesting, so I take it." Alex decided to tell him his element so he can change his focus to Fire Element. The elder will know about it anyway. With this, he can lie his way for this space book. Then, he locked the elder's attention by showing him a fire on his palm, basically, telling him about his fire element.
The elder also knew that a person could only have an element. "You, you can not learn this book if you do not have a space element!"
"I just want to read it. I have extra points anyway and the free pass from the token. So, is not that fine?" Alex said casually.
"I'm just warning you here. Fine, since you do not want to heed my advice. Do not come back here and say you want to exchange this book."
Alex didn't say anymore. Arguing with him might trigger him, and if the situation escalated, many people would start coming here again.
After subtracting a thousand points from Alex's sect points. He gave the two books along with his Sect Token and Jade Token. Alex immediately stored them away and left.
He came to Song Yu, who waited for him in front of the pavilion. Seeing Alex came to her, she turned her head toward him. As expected of Song Yu's ears, As Alex came to her, she reprimanded him, "Now I know your element, to think that you have the same element as Evelyn. But why do you bring that space thingy art? No one fool enough to grab something they can not use. And here you are"
"Ahaha, Nothing. I am curious about this book. It sat there alone, and dust had covered it. So, I grab the book and want to read it out of curiosity. I do not mind if I can not learn it, though."
Song Yu let out a long sigh, "Well, it is not my place to judge you since you used your own Sect points for that book. Anyway, are you going to Exchange Pavilion this time?"
Alex pondered a bit and nodded his head. "Well, although I have been there to grab a mission. I never exchange something from there."
'Well, I also want to confirm something there.' Alex added in his heart. Song Yu and Alex went there. Upon arriving there, they went straight to the third floor. Since if you wanted to search for a pill was on the third floor to the sixth floor.
Looking at the display cabinets, Alex can see many pills ranging from low purity pills to perfect purity pills. Of course, they need to be separated, afraid to affect the pills with higher purity. He knew most of the pills displayed here. There were some he can not make because he never practiced on that pill, the reason for that was because he never had any use for those pills.
"Alex, have you found anything you want?"
Alex shook his head, he was a bit disappointed about the quality. He only found a few perfect purity pills. Well, it might be because the disciples also need the perfect one, so the rest was unsold. Alex also noticed that the pills on this floor were only Rank 2 pills.
"I do not see any useful pills for me here."
"Then we can try the next floor. The third and fourth floors were for rank 2 pills. The fifth floor was for rank 3 pills, and the sixth floor was filled with rank 4 pills." Song Yu said.
Alex nodded. They went to the fourth floor. Alex finally saw Fire Spirit Pills and Jade Heart Pills on this floor. He exchanged two Fire Spirit Pills. Of course, perfect purity Fire Spirit Pill. He did not want to eat pill if not perfect purity as it might destroy his foundation. With two Fire Spirit Pills, he might be able to breakthrough to 9-Star Martial Master. Then, he will swallow Rank 2 Energy Pill that Su Hua gave him. He will immediately become a 10-Star Martial Master if he ate that pill. He purposely saved it for this time.
Alex looked at the rest of the pill on the fourth floor, but he was disappointed by the pills' purity. The number of perfect purity pills on this floor was even lower than the one on the third floor. Especially when he saw the Jade Heart Pills' purity, he did not see any pill above seventy percent purity.
After that, both of them went to the third floor. Alex was even more disappointed with the quality. The perfect purity pills were very scarce on this floor.
"Senior Sister, the quality is a bit..." Alex whispered and finally sighed in disappointment.
Song Yu immediately realized. She remembered that Alex was an Alchemist. It was hard for an Alchemist to make a perfect purity pill. There were several reasons for this. First, if they focused on a pill and made them perfect, their progress to the next rank would be halted. Second, the cost to practice so an Alchemist can make a perfect purity pill was very high, and they might need to wait for a few years before they started to get revenue. That's why most Alchemists practiced the next pills needed for rank advancement rather than perfecting their skills on pills. Alex had it easy with Simulation, though.
After hearing Alex's disappointment, she recalled that when they first met. Alex had twenty perfect purity Jade Heart Pills. Jade Heart Pill was the hardest pill to make for 2nd rank pill. Much less for a perfect purity one. She gave a wry smile. "Indeed, considering your skill, making your own pill might be more enticing than the pills in here."
"Yeah" Alex nodded, but he also sighed.
Putri was confused by this action, she said, "Well, you only need to buy the material in the Alchemist Guild in Heavenly Sword Town. Then make your own pill."
"That's the problem. I can not go to the Alchemist Guild in Heavenly Sword Town for various 'reasons'. If I buy medicinal ingredients from another town, that might take too long for travel, and the Alchemist Guild might not have the ingredients I need."
"You can not go to the Alchemist Guild in Heavenly Sword Town?" Song Yu was bewildered. How can she know that Alex needs to do that to avoid Su Hua?
Alex only nodded, seeming that he did not want to talk about it. "Well, I am planning to sell pills to raise some money for my cultivation, though. Oh, that's right, Is not Senior Sister come from a Merchant Family? How about a deal?"
"!!!" She immediately realized what he was talking about. She knew that Alex was also a VIP since he had the VIP card with him. She grinned, "Well well, what do we have here... my Junior Brother is trying to strike a deal with me? As a Senior Sister, I really want to help you, but since you want to strike a deal with me. My identity as a Merchant Family's daughter can let this go.
Hmm, let me see, Alchemists prefer Merchant Family to Alchemist Guild in selling their pills. If they sell their pills in the Alchemist Guild, the guild will take thirty percent. But most of Merchant Families only take twenty percent commission. Of course, there is an issue about reputation. But for a big merchant family, they can ignore it.
Well, since Junior Brother is a VIP in my Blackwade clan, and you also my Junior Brother, I can not be mean to you. I will take only ten percent of commission."
Alex looked at Song Yu weirdly. He did not know why, but Song Yu seems very happy about this. "But, won't the pills' price will be reduced if we sell a large number of pills?"
"If we sell them in the Alchemist Guild? No. To be honest, the disciples here didn't really want to buy pills from this place. One of the reasons is the quality. They might be cheaper from the Alchemist Guild, but they can only buy it with Sect Points. That's why most disciples go to Alchemist Guild to purchase pills. Although it is a bit expensive, it has more quality. And even if the Alchemist Guild has too many stocks, they will distribute it to their branches. So, you don't need to mind about the price."
