Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy Chapter 175 - Asking For Permission

Chapter 175 - Asking For Permission

"Hmm… you've got something more to tell me?" Ma Rong asked.

"Actually, I have this to give to you," Alex said as he took out 2 Spirit Cleansing lilies.

Ma Rong had enough shock for the day, but she was shocked once more. Her eyes turned wide as she involuntarily screamed, "Spirit Cleansing Lily? 2 at that. Where did you find them?" she asked.

"The same place I told found the corpse and the recipes. Not only that, I have quite a few alchemy resources as well." Alex brought out a storage bag to show them.

"You can keep some if you want it," he said.

Ma Rong sent her spiritual sense into the bag a saw a load of alchemy ingredients stacked on top of one another. She immediately screamed, "What are you doing keeping them like that? Put them in an individual wooden box or something." She was horrified seeing such precious materials being kept like that.

"I know that I should master," he said as he brought out more storage bags and said, "There are just too many."

Ma Rong felt like she was being tortured. Showing such a horrifying sight of keeping alchemy materials without any protection to keep their energies from leaking out or mixing with each other.

She immediately brought out one of her storage bags with a ton of jade and wooden boxes and handed it to Alex. Alex complied and put the ingredients in, but there were just too many. He was able to only fit one bag's worth of ingredients in there, while the rest of them were still the same.

Ma Rong wanted to cry rivers of tears seeing those ingredients in such a state.

"Don't worry master, I will make a lot of pills very soon and use up most of these ingredients, and I will keep the True rank pills ingredients in the wooden boxes." He rea.s.sured her again and again.

Finally, she was fine with how the pills were kept.

"Alright, go register the pill and I will make your core disciple exam as soon as possible," Ma Rong said.

"Okay, Master," Alex said and called Pearl back into his arm. He was about to leave when he remembered something. He turned around and asked, "Master, Do you know much about bodies?"

"Bodies? What do you mean?" she asked.

"You know. Cultivator's body type," he said unable to explain properly.

"Oh, those. I know about them, why?" she asked.

"Then, do you know anything about Sun G.o.d's Divine Yang Body?" he asked.

Ma Rong thought for a moment and answered, "No. I don't think I have ever heard of that body. I don't think there are any records about them either. Why do you ask?"

'So, she doesn't know it either huh?' he thought.

"Nothing important really," he sidestepped the questions. "Oh right, master. There are these small rectangular yellow jade-like stones that are found in the Forbidden Fields, do you know about them?" he asked.

"Yellow rectangular jades?" Ma Rong quickly reached into her storage bag and took out a slightly yellow yang jade and asked, "Are you talking about this?" she asked.

Alex's eyes turned bright. "Yes, Master. That's exactly it. Do you have more of these?" he asked.

"Why do you ask?" Ma Rong squinted her eyes questioningly.

"Uhh… I'll tell you later master. For now, do you have some more?" he continued asking.

Ma Rong sighed and said, "No. This is the only one I have right now, and even this is almost done."

"Almost… done?" he asked questioningly.

Ma Rong reached into her storage bag and took out 2 more of the same stones. Except, this time they were both white with not a single hint of yellow. She then said, "See how these are white? These stone lose their energies after being out of the Forbidden fields for a week or two. What's more, they are incredibly rare and are only ever found once in a while."

Alex walked ahead and reached out to the slightly yellow yang jade and looked at its name.

[Jade Stone]

There was no hint of Yang in these jade and thus the name had been changed to the game system as well. Alex sighed, "I expected too much." He then thought about what his master just said and asked, "Master, then can I go to the forbidden fields to try my luck? These stones are very important to me and I need quite a lot of it."

"Absolutely not. The Forbidden Fields is a place we send to punish the students. There is not a single Qi in there and you will starve to death if you are not careful. We will ask the students who leave their punishment and see if they have any more of these stones, that should be enough," Ma Rong said.

Alex thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. When is the next disciple coming out?" he asked.

Ma Rong looked into her medallion and saw that the next one was coming out in a week and relayed that information to Alex.

"A week? But master, it will be too late by then. I will need to be stronger by the compet.i.tion right?"

Ma Rong thought for a bit and realized that he would in fact be in the compet.i.tion within a week. "Tell me, honestly, why do you need them? How do they help you?" she asked.

Alex wanted to avoid the question once again, but decided against it and answered. "I can use the Yang inside the jade to make my Qi thicker. I've used it twice now and it's made my Qi at least twice as thick, maybe a little more, and even given it a yang quality," he said.

Ma Rong was confused at first as to how it could possibly be true. But the more she thought about how vigorous her disciple's Qi was or how he could do things beyond his cultivation base, she fully accepted it.

"If what you say is true… then I will allow for you to go to the Forbidden Fields."
