Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 86: Just register them

Lang Shun looked at the direction the inner sect disciple was pointing and realized the one being pointed at was Alex. He took the 6 pill bottles and walked to Alex while the inner sect disciple got back to his work.

"Martial nephew, did you bring in these pills?" he asked.

"Yes, elder." Alex simply answered.

Lang Shun smiled a little and said, "Don't call me an elder. Call me martial uncle. You master and I are disciples of the same master."

Alex was surprised. Ma Rong had never mentioned anything about it. "Yes, martial uncle. I brought those pills."

"The disciple says you claim to have made these pills yourself, is that true?" he asked.

"Yes. I made these pills today by myself." Alex answered.

"You know that you shouldn't lie about these things, right martial nephew? Even if you are the sect leader's disciple, you can get punished for these sort of things." Lang Shun tried to be gentle with the approach.

Alex found it funny, and said, "You don't have to worry about that, martial uncle. I didn't steal them or anything. I made them on my own."

Lang Shun felt a problem coming. He turned back towards the inner sect disciple and asked, "You said there was no proof or something. What did you mean?"

The inner sect disciple who was busy dealing with something immediately stopped his work, and said, "Elder, there is no sales information regarding the ingredients to his pills." The inner sect disciple said.

Lang Shun got curious and asked, "Where did you find the ingredients from then?"

"From the southern forest. I spend 3 days searching day and night for the ingredients before being found by master in a near-death situation." Alex answered without hesitation.

Lang Shun got a little surprised. 'Searching for alchemy ingredients in the southern forest? And what is this about him being in a near-death situation?"

Lang Shun thought for a bit and said, "Alright. You can go. I will take these pills and see what I can do about registering them." He assured Alex, so Alex went back.

Lang Shun also walked out with the pills and called Ma Rong in her communication talisman.

"Sister, can you come to the elder hall for a bit. Your disciple did something that is creating a little sticky situation."

He himself walked to the elder hall and waited for Ma Rong in a private meeting room. Ma Rong flew down and immediately found Lang Shun with her spiritual sense.

The elder around her almost expected to see a disciple get thrown to the ground like yesterday. But alas, she was alone.

Without batting an eye to anyone's greeting, she walked straight to the room with Lang Shun.

"What's going on? Is something wrong with Yu Ming?" she started asking the moment she walked through the door.

Lang Shun wasn't expecting her to be so stirred up. He tried to calm her down by saying, "Nothing is wrong with your disciple. He is fine. It's more like he might have done something wrong."

Ma Rong got a little confused, "What do you mean?"

Lang Shun took out a pill bottle and put the pill inside it to a pill tester. Ma Rong watched the pill tester fog up to 36 to signify that the pill had a 36% harmony.

But she still couldn't understand what was going on. "Did you make the pills? Why are you showing me this?"

"No, I didn't. But, your disciple claims he did, and he got caught at the disciple hall today while registering these."

Ma Rong heard that and said, "Oh, he finally started registering, did he? Took him long enough. So? What is wrong here? I still don't understand."

"Sister, your disciple obviously didn't make these. He joined the sect 2 weeks ago. It's impossible for him to have made these." Lang Shun tried to reason.

Ma Rong just found that funny. She forgot that she was one of the only ones who knew about Alex's talent.

"Check the other pills." She said.

Lang Shun complied and tested all the different pills. 33%, 35%, 34%, 43%, and 39%. Together with the previous 36%, the 6 pills all had a ridiculous amount of harmony. Something impossible for even someone in the top 10 list of Alchemy Achievements ranking.

"Hmm… he is getting better than I thought. Alright, register those pills under my disciple's name. If that is all, I'm leaving." She started walking out.

"Wait, sister." Lang Shun was shocked at how little she cared about the situation. She should have been showing more interest in this situation since her disciple was involved.

"What is it now? If you won't register it then make the elder who called you register it." Ma Rong started to get irritated.

"Why are you giving this situation so little care, sister? Your disciple is trying to cheat here. So blatantly, as well."

Ma Rong just laughed it off now. "He is not. He made those pills. I've watched him make similar pills every morning. Just go register those pills. And also tell the elder who 'caught' him to stop thinking about it."

Lang Shun was surprised to hear that Alex had really made this. He still found it unbelievable, but if his sister was saying that, then he had no choice but to believe.

"Alright then, I'll register them and tell the inner sect disciple who stopped him to forget about it." Lang Shun said sluggishly.

Ma Rong stopped in her step, and turned back, "Inner sect disciple? Why would an inner sect disciple stop him instead of an elder?"

Lang Shun cocked his head and said, "Of course an inner sect disciple would stop him. Do you even know how the disciple hall works, sister?"

Ma Rong was taken aback a bit. "Of course I know how the disciple hall works. I'm just asking why an inner sect disciple would …" suddenly she realized something and sighed,

"Don't tell me that idiot tried to register in the outer sect portion of the disciple hall?"contemporary romance
