Chapter 88: Experience for a Cultivator
Chapter 88: Experience for a Cultivator
Alex had practiced the entire night without stop. His Qi was enough for him to practice more than 8 hours before his Qi ran dry.
Still, he cultivated after three-quarters of his Qi was gone so that he could recover it for now. He decided to check where he was with his status.
“Status”

He had managed to accumulate a lot of Qi, but if he were to breakthrough right now, it probably wouldn’t be enough to even reach Bone Tempering 9th realm.
‘I should have stabilized my cultivation base enough, right? It has been a few days since I broke through,’ he thought and pushed the breakthrough button once.
<Congratulations. You have broken through to ‘Bone Tempering: 5th Realm’>
“Alright, let’s go get some food.” He decided to log out to get some breakfast when suddenly, he sensed his master coming.
‘Hmm… didn’t she say she would no longer teach me? Why is she here then?’
He walked out to greet her. “Good morning, Master. Do we have alchemy lessons today?” he asked.
“No, I was on my way down to the sect valley when I remembered something. Do you have anything going on today?” she asked.
He didn’t have to think to know that today was the day his pills were getting auctioned off, so he was looking forward to going to the auction to check out how it was. “Yes, Master.” He simply told her.
“Cancel that then. Today you and I are going somewhere else.” She said.
Alex got a little surprised. “Umm… master, does it have to be today? I was quite looking forward to my thing today.” He said.
Ma Rong frowned, and asked, “Do you need to do your thing, or want to do your thing?”
Alex thought for a bit. ‘I don’t really need to be in the auction for my pills to sell. I only wanted to check them out, that was all.’
He sighed and said, “I just wanted to, master.”
Ma Rong looked proud like she had just won, and said, “Good. I will come to get you in a few hours, and we will leave then.”
She then left.
Alex got a little disappointed at the fact that he wouldn’t be able to view the auction. He finally accepted the fact and logged out to get some breakfast.
He went back to the game to make a few more pills before logging out once more for lunch. He went back to the game after lunch once more.
He decided to stabilize his cultivation base while he was waiting for his master. He started using the various different techniques he knew, aside from the Immortal Concealing technique.
Otherwise, his master might actually miss his existence and not find him. He was in the middle of flying when his master walked into the courtyard.
Her eyes widened a little as she saw him freely, albeit slowly, flying through the air. ‘His Qi can already carry his weight so much? How thick is his Qi?’ she wondered.
Alex looked at his master and realized she was weaker than before. ‘Did something happen to her?’
“Master, is something wrong?” he asked.
Ma Rong got a little confused, so she asked, “No, why do you ask?”
“Oh, it’s just that you felt weaker to me.” He said.
Ma Rong laughed a little and said, “That means it’s somewhat working. I have started learning the Immortal Concealing technique. I can somewhat use it right now, but it only hides a fraction of my Qi, not all. That’s why you thought I was weaker.”
“Oh. I should have known that. How long do you think it will take you to completely learn it?” he asked.
“Hmm… I can’t tell right now. Although it’s going smoothly right now, I might hit a bottleneck somewhere. However, it shouldn’t take more than a few months as most. I am quite confident about that.” She said.
She then thought of something and asked,” Did you learn the Flickering Shadows technique?”
Alex immediately got more attentive and said, “Yes, master. It’s such a good technique.”
He then activated the technique and started randomly teleporting to different shadows. Some of the walls, some of the trees, and some even of the hidden side of the rocks near the pond.
Ma Rong looked his with a bunch of envious eyes. ‘How can he be so talented. When I first started teleporting, I had to vomit because I couldn’t handle the sudden change in scenery. Is it because of his spiritual sense?’ she wondered.
“Alright, stop,” she said and watched Alex teleport to a shadow next to her.
She looked at him and asked, “Is that your best robe? It looks a little dirty.” Alex looked at his robe and realized it had a lot of dust on it, and needed to be washed. He had been wearing this robe for almost 10 days now.
“I have a new robe I haven’t worn yet,” he said. He had gotten a replacement robe after he had notified that his first one had been torn apart from the fight in the forest. Fortunately, thanks to his full access to everything, he was able to get the robe without giving a single thing in return.
“Alright, go and change into those.” She said and waited for him to change.
Alex came back out within minutes in his clean, new robes. “Are we leaving now, master? Is it okay if I ask where we are going?” he asked.
Ma Rong simply said, “As a cultivator, you lack a surprising amount of common sense. It might be because you are new to cultivation and don’t know much about it. But now that you are a cultivator, there are things you need to be experienced on if you want to be successful in cultivation.”
“One of those is to find appropriate cultivation methods, techniques, artifacts, and pills for yourself. So, today we are going to the best place to get these things, which is an auction house.”
