Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 85: Registering Pills

The Qi was now stuck in his head and wasn't moving anywhere. So he constantly saw the places light up in his vision. He looked around didn't see a single place he could properly teleport to.

The places he could were either near a building or in the midst of multiple disciples.

'Wait, let's check with my spiritual sense.'

He sent out his spiritual sense in a 10-meter radius and found more places he could teleport to. Some of them were inside the buildings, some on the roof of the buildings.

But one spot he hadn't thought of had also lit up. It was the underside of everything that touched the ground. From barrels to the lanterns to the numerous people walking, the underside of all of those was lit up.

'Of course, those places are always in the shadows. So, I can teleport there, huh?'

He couldn't think of a good place to teleport for now other than his own shadow under his foot, so he chose that. The Qi moved and vanished.

'Huh? Did I even teleport?' the senses never changed so he didn't know if he actually teleported at all or not. But the Qi started moving so he stopped caring about it.

He walked the rest of the way to the disciple hall. He looked at the ranking stone in front of the hall and realized his spot on the stone had fallen down quite a lot.

'Well, I don't think I should even care about the rankings anymore. It's difficult to compare me with the normal disciples.'

He walked towards the back and looked at the rankings there too. The alchemy achievements ranking no longer had Song Zun in the third place like it used to. in fact, Song Zun was no longer on the list.

He walked into the disciple hall and got into a line. When his time came, he walked in and saw an inner sect disciple on the desk. He took out 6 different pill bottles with a single pill in each of them and placed them on the desk.

"I'm registering these pills."

The inner sect disciple was one step away from falling asleep. He wanted to go back to his cottage, but because he hadn't gotten enough contribution points for this week, he was stuck here working through the night.

He said nothing and took one of the pill bottles and took out the pill inside. His lazy eyes immediately got serious as he felt the quality of the pill.

He took out a pill tester and put the pill inside. He watched the fog slowly rise up and stop at 33%. His eyes were wider than they had ever been. Same with his jaw.

He looked up at Alex and checked his appearance closely. Alex had the face of someone who hadn't even reached 20 years old and was wearing an outer sect disciple's clothing.

'Is this a joke?' he thought.

"You are registering this?" the disciple asked.

"Yes," Alex didn't think much of the question.

The inner disciple frowned. "Did you make this?" he asked.

"Of course. Why else would I bring it here to register?" Alex found the line of questioning weird but thought that it probably was the first time the inner sect disciple had seen an outer sect disciple bring a pill that even the core disciples would be jealous of.

The inner sect disciple's frown remained as he took out a medallion to check the latest sales info about Alex. The only info he got was that Alex had bought ingredients on only 2 occasions. Once about 12 days ago, and once about a week ago. Other than that, there was no transaction history between him and the sect.

Furthermore, the ingredients he bought both of the times did not match the pills in his hands, so he started to get more suspicious.

If it had been a normal scenario, he might have sent Alex away saying that wrongly claiming someone else's pill as his own was a crime that was punishable in the sect. But the pill he was holding was one that even the majority of the core disciples couldn't make with their best effort.

So, he immediately notified an elder that someone was trying to falsely register a 33% harmony pill.

"Stay here, I have called an elder." The inner sect disciple said while keeping the 6 pill bottles with himself and went on to do his task starting with the next one in line.

After 10 or so disciples in the line were done, someone wearing an elder's robe walked in. As soon as the inner sect disciple saw the elder, he stood up and greeted him. contemporary romance

"Greeting, Eighteenth Elder."

Alex turned around to see who had just come in and saw the elder's face too.

"Greetings, Elder Lang." This was the same person that had taken his entrance exam and brought him into the sect.

Lang Shun walked in and saw Alex standing to the side and was surprised.

'Did he do something wrong?' he walked up to the inner disciple and asked, "What's going on?"

The inner sect disciple immediately took out the 6 different pill bottles and put the pill back on the pill tester. Lang Shun found the action weird but said nothing. He slowly watched the fog rise up the side of the glass.

He thought of nothing as it reached 10%. When it reached 15%, he was impressed. He was surprised when he saw it reach 20%. But the fog still kept on going and reached 25%— this got him really astonished.

But the fog still kept on going and reached 30% and it was showing no signs of stopping. Lang Shun watched the fog slowly creep up more and only stopped at 33%.

He immediately walked forward and took the pill tester and looked at it closely to absolutely make sure he was reading it right.

"What is this? Who brought this pill?" he asked.

The inner sect disciple simply pointed at Alex and said, "That outer sect disciple over there. He says he made it himself, but there is no proof."
