GACHA SOVEREIGN

181 Battle Tower

"I'm sorry, Sir. Would you able to part one of the Jade Heart pills to me. I will also pay the same price."

Alex looked at the blonde girl. He casually said, "Oh. Sure"

Although it is a bit awkward for them from Alchemist Guild, after all, one of Jade Heart Pills was bought(stolen) just like that. They can only compromise in their heart since the one who sell them was okay with it. At least, there are still nineteen Jade Heart Pills left.

After giving two thousand Spirit Stones to Alex, The two ladies said their thanks to him and left.

"Senior Sister. Are we going to follow him?"

"No. I'm sure you can see the cultivation from the yellow-haired man, right?"

"Yes. He was a 9-Star Martial Master."

"Indeed. But Even I, unable to see the cultivation of the masked man. I'm sure you know what I mean."

"Even Senior Sister? Aren't Senior Sister a 3-Star Martial Lord" The green-haired girl shocked by the fact. She also knows what it means, after all, she has many experiences about that after following this senior sister of her many times.

"Let's drop this topic. We might not see him again later."

"Yes"

...

In the Alchemist Guild.

"This is sixty eight thousand Spirit Stones, Sir."

Alex nodded. Before taking the Spirit Stones, he said. "Do you sell Space Ring here?"

"How much space do you need inside, Sir? The biggest one is a fifty meter cubic Space Ring, which cost you twenty thousand Spirit Stones."

"Then, I will take that one." Alex said. He then looked at Leoz and back to the receptionist mysteriously. "How many sets of ingredients for Jade Heart Pill and Fire Spirit Pill do you have?"

"We have fifty set of Fire Spirit Pill and thirty sets of Jade Heart Pill at the moment" The receptionist and the elder can perceive something when Alex looks at Leoz. They misunderstood, they thought Leoz was Alex's disciple, and he was thinking how many he would buy to train this disciple of his.

"Thirty Fire Spirit Pill and twenty Jade Heart Pill, You can deduct it from the sell."

"Understood." The elder especially goes to the back to search the medicinal ingredients by himself. After all, he is also an Alchemist, though not a high rank one. He still needs to respect someone better than him, even though he is older than the one in front of him. Strength and Skill make you the senior one.

Not long after, the elder came back with a Space Ring. The elder gave him the Space Ring to Alex. "This is the Space Ring, Sir. I have put the ingredients along with forty five thousand six hundred Spirit Stones inside. Fire Spirit Pills is forty Spirit Stones, and Jade Heart Pills is sixty Spirit Stones along with twenty thousand for the Space Ring. The total is twenty two thousand four hundred Spirit Stones."

Alex nodded and accepted the Space Ring then left the guild. After leaving the town, Alex said goodbye to Leoz, who will continue leveling up to Grandmaster Stage before investigating Thiveapia Kingdom.

Alex went to the second destination, Finwold City. He repeated the same process a few times, earning him a total of two hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Since there are only three other towns after he visited Finwold City. And he finally arrived at Heavenly Sword Town. It took him almost two weeks to pull that off. His money went from a measly five hundred Spirit Stones to two hundred thousand Spirit Stones. It was a big accomplishment.

Of course, all of it can be achieved was because of Alex's specialty. Unlike normal High 2nd Rank Alchemist, Alex didn't need to waste any materials since all of that can be achieved in his Simulation Room. It might cut their profit to half with only practicing. Then, they weren't a hundred percent sure they can make a perfect purity pill, which is another cut on their revenue.

He will use those Spirit Stones for cultivation, powering arrays, and many others.

At first, he wanted to sell those pills as much as possible. But he decided not to, if he did that, he might destroy the market and his pills would be useless.

He thought about buying a few rank 3 pill ingredients. Regrettably, the towns/cities he visited, didn't have those since most of them didn't have any Rank 3 Alchemist. He had visited a slightly bigger city that has Rank 3 Alchemists in it. Still, he was disappointed because of the quality of the ingredients, not to his standard.

So he thought about buying them in Heavenly Sword Town for later purposes. After all, he might need to do a close cultivation inside the sect for six months to consolidate his foundation.

Alex got an unpleasantries surprise after he reached Heavenly Sword Town, specifically Heavenly Sword Town's Alchemist Guild. He saw a young girl with pink hair tied in a ponytail, modest curves, and that carefree but repugnant expression from Alex's point of view. The one beside her is a white-haired but familiar face old man, and as usual, there is no trace of strictness in his expression.

"Elder Su Hua and Young Miss Su Yue. We have been waiting for you. It's our honor to have your presence in this guild. As the Guild master, I welcome you" A middle-aged man who appeared to be the Guild Master said to him. Violet hair, fierce-looking eyes, and strict aura. And there is a badge with four silver stars on his chest.

Yep, they are Su Hua and Su Yue. "Hoho, Don't worry, you can do your job as usual, I won't put my hand in the management. My granddaughter and I will be settling here for quite a while. There is something I need to do for the sect around here, so thank you for your hospitalities."

Alex immediately understand. They came here for him. Alex's face darkened. He ignores their presence and buys several sets of ingredients for rank 3 pills and leave hurriedly before they noticed his presence. Since he is going to cultivate inside the sect for a long time. He thought they would return in disappointment. Hopefully, they aren't that stubborn.

Alex finally returns to the sect after a month of journey. He didn't go toward his courtyard. Instead, he goes toward the Exchange Pavilion first to turn his mission.

On the second floor, he found someone turning his mission and went away. He then turned his own missions. When the elder who was in charge of him saw his bounty, he was surprised.

"190 Ofty Grass, 72 Twin Snake poison sacs, 50 Reen Wood Log, and 520 Savage Bison Tongues. You would get 190 points for Ofty Grass, two points for each poison sac, 72 Poison sacs mean you get 144 points, 50 Reen Wood Log equal to 50 points. And lastly, 520 Points for Savage Bison tongues. You get a total of 904 Sect Points. Give me your token."

Alex nodded. Each mission earned him a single sect point. But, usually, people ordered them in a bulk of five or ten. So, the mission is like that. He handed him his token, and the elder updates his points for him. His '0' points suddenly become '904'.

"Elder, is there another way to earn points besides completing missions?"

"Hmm, Judging from your '0' points, you must be a new disciple in this sect. There is one more way to earn points. That is the Battle Tower"

"Battle Tower?"

"Yes. I'm sure you know about two rankings, Outer Disciple Ranking and Inner Disciple Ranking, right?"

"Yes" Alex nodded

"If you have a ranking, then you will get a certain point each month. If it is your first time in the ranking. There is an achievement. Hmm, I'm not good at explaining, how should I explain this...You would get a certain points if you managed to put your name inside the ranking. Let say if you are rank 500 in Outer Disciple Ranking from no-ranker, you can get around 200 sect points. As for the specific number, the elder in charge of Battle Tower will calculate it for you. This is called an achievement.

But if you are already rank 500 but your rank drops to 700, and you rechallenge the tower and go back to your previous rank. You won't get an achievement. After all, you had reached that in the past. The points usually used for in Martial Arts Pavilion or in here, Exchange Pavilion for weapon or pill."

Alex pondered for a moment. He can defeat Xian Hui, a 9-Star Martial Master, together with Anna. Alex's combat ability alone should be around 9-Star Martial Master. But it is with his Fire and Spear. If he didn't use them, then he is around 8-Star Martial Master. It is pretty high ranked in Martial Master rank. Of course, Xian Tao wasn't calculated since he needs to use the power of the pond and many others. And it was only for a single attack with Leoz and Anna binding him down.

"I think it's time to go there. If someone is trying to get me into trouble, I will make that woman busy. She is already a Martial Grandmaster, after all."

"Thank you, Elder" Alex thanks him and left. Unbeknownst to him, two people observe him while he turns in his missions.

Alex flies toward Battle Tower, and suddenly, he notices two presence coming to him. They block his way. Alex frowned, he sees through their cultivation immediately. In the right is 6-Star Martial Master, and the left one is a 5-Star Martial Master.

"Haha, rookie. Judging from your direction, you are going to the Battle Tower, right? But if you want to go there, you need to pay us. I'm very generous, so I will let you off with only eight hundred Sect Points. So, if you are smart, you should know what to do." The 6-Star Martial Master said arrogantly.

Alex sighs inwardly, why he encounters something like this the moment he back in the sect. What? Is he going to say he is someone higher subordinate after he defeats him? And judging from their exorbitant but specific demand, it seems they observe him when he is turning his mission. He looked at the two dumb-asses in front of his. "Dream on."

"Don't you know who I am? I am the great Tata, with only three years, I managed to reach rank 625th. So, I will give you a second chance. Give your point to me, or you will regret it."

"That's right. Just do as Senior Brother said, we only want your points."

"You are the one who will regret it, not me." Alex said casually.

"Hmph, It seems I need to teach some rules to a newbie like you. You are only 4-Star Martial Master, but we are 5-Star and 6-Star Martial Master. Strength is all that matters, and you don't have the strength to beat us."

"I agree with you. Strength is all that matters" Alex took out his sword and disappeared.

"Where is he? Be careful, and he has speed." The stronger one suddenly took out his big hammer while the weaker one pulled out his dagger. "Boyan, behind you."

"Should solve the easiest problem first." Alex suddenly appeared behind the weaker one, who seems to be called Boyan. Alex sent a round kick to him, "Immovable Step"

Without have any chance to react, Alex's foot already reached his chest. It blew him away and destroying a few trees in his path. It should leave him with a few broken ribs and a few months or a year of recuperation.

"You! I will cripple you" Of course, Tata is angry seeing Boyan become like that. The blood comes to his brain until he forgets why Alex can trounce a 5-Star Martial Master. "Earth Hammer"

The moment he used that technique, Alex immediately activate his Spirit Eyes and see Spiritual Energy Movement inside the ground, and his target is him.

The moment the Spiritual Energy sparked in the ground, Alex immediately jump backward. Three Rock Spikes suddenly rose from the ground, if he didn't jump backward, those spikes might pierce his hands and feet.

'What a vicious move' Alex said inwardly. Alex swings his sword. "Sanguin Sword Art. Fourteenth Slash!"

"Earth Defender"

An earth wall appeared in front of Tata. And surprisingly, it blocked Alex's Sanguin Sword Art completely, of course, without Sword Intent or Fire Element. Alex appeared behind Tata, trying to beat him.

Tata suddenly felt dread with Alex's power, he completely underestimated Alex. This is not a power of 4-Star Martial Master. "Earth Defender"

He suddenly locked himself in a box of Earth wall. He thought since Alex can't destroy it in his attack. He would be safe, and Alex would lose interest in him. He can't beg his life to him, so this is a solution for him. Then, after Alex went away. He would leave and get his revenge later.
