Sky Defying Genius Cultivator
Chapter 38: Becoming a Young Alchemist

"Yeah! I'm so happy! 200 Points, I got 200 points hahahaha!" zhishu said happily.

[Congratulations Master, now your total points are 640 contribution points]

"In that case, I just buy all the ingredients I need, surely the points I have are enough" he continued.

Zhishu then bought Philie flowers for 100 points, Heixue Leaves for 180 points, Wenhou plants for 95 points and roots from Wanshang plants for 88 points.So the total is 463 points.

[With your soul force now, you can only concoct the first low-tier demon core pill]

"Hmm.the quality of the pill was divided into three, namely low, medium and high levels.Each level was further divided into 5 levels.The average Alchemist in the Shenzen Empire usually made a second low-level pill, and the highest one is the fourth low-level pill."

"Ck..ck.the standard of pills in this small Empire is indeed below average.Maybe that's why many bought pills in the Jing Empire (Accounties bordering the Shenzen Empire)," zhishu said as he shook his head slowly.

"Although it's only the first low level, but it definitely exerts a great influence on my cultivation..."

"ah! Waitaminute! Don't I have the pure fire I got from the mission of defeating the fire lion? The system! Open profile!"

[Good]

Zhishu stared at the writing on the hologram before him, "I heard, a pill made with pure fire will produce a pill that is stronger than a pill that is only made using ordinary spiritual energy."

"But my pure fire is still at level 1.My contribution points are now 177 points remaining, and to raise this skill to level 2 it takes 100 points.."

Zhishu breathed a coarse breath, "I think I will be poor today," Zhishu murmured as he clicked on the upgrade button.

Ding!

[Congratulations! Your pure fire skill was successfully upgraded to level 2]

"Alright, now it's time to make my first pill after becoming an Alchemist" Zhishu said, rising from his sitting position and performing light stretches on some parts of his body.

Zhishu then looked at the furnace before him with a smile full of confidence and enthusiasm, "let's start."

Zhishu controlled the medicinal plants he had just bought using spiritual energy, he gathered the 4 main ingredients right before him and then put them all into the furnace.

Zhishu started to let out pure flames from both of his hands and channeled them into the furnace.

"The medicinal plants will melt because of the heat from my pure fire that has just been enhanced! I spent 100 contribution points on this, don't disappoint me!" zhishu said with a serious face, he kept his mind stable so that the pills he made did not end in failure.

Zhishu sensed that all the ingredients he put into the furnace were already perfectly liquid.He slowly started to control the liquid to fuse, then solidified and finally formed a pill.

Kreeks..

As before, Zhishu only needed a short time to make a pill, no matter what made it so.But usually, to make one pill takes hours.

Zhishu opened the huge furnace with his spiritual energy, then took out the pill he had just made.

"The third low-level demon core pill," Zhishu said with a satisfied smile.

For someone very new in the world of Alchemists, this was an incredible achievement.The results of the first pill made by Zhishu even managed to summon the lightning Jinzi.And the pill both had great success becoming the third low pill.

"Hehehe.I am definitely the most genius young alchemist in history," Zhishu said as he stared at the pill he had made with an arrogant smile.

After being satisfied looking at the pill that had spent most of his contribution points, without further ado, Zhishu took the pill.Different from the pill he used to take, he was not happy about it, the demon core pill did not instantly melt once drunk, Zhishu could even still feel the denseness of the pill even after reaching his throat.

Most of that energy, having a gray color and some black, it was an impure energy and did not give a significant change to one's cultivation.While the energy that had a white color was pure energy.

Cultivators who cultivate carelessly will usually only absorb black or gray natural energy.Pure natural energy can only be absorbed by people with high concentration levels and calm souls, to become an Alchemist, one must be able to absorb this pure energy.

"It turns out that around me there is still a lot of qi energy that I can absorb as much as I can.I did not feel this great qi energy before, the demon core pill is indeed incredible."

"I'll cultivate now," Zhishu then again took a cross-legged sitting position, he took a deep breath and began to absorb the natural energy around him.

Due to the already increased soul power, Zhishu became more sensitive to the surrounding energy, he could feel both pure and impure energy, nothing changed with the level of difficulty he had to face in order to absorb pure qi energy.

***

A few weeks had passed, this was the day that the great inter-family competition in the capital would be held.The atmosphere outside the sect seemed to be violent because of someone who had come to that place with mounting fury.

"Where is the boy?"

"Your Majesty the concubine.he is.."

His brown eyes displayed an outrageous rage very much like a burning fire, "he really is. I have a special interest in him, he said, I'm asking you to call the boy.I'll protect you if anything bad happens in this matter."

The three middle-aged Alchemists who greeted the woman in front of the sect's main door stared at each other with puzzled facial expressions.

From behind them, someone with a black robe that was always used on his body came to both sides to mediate in the matter, "Your Majesty concubine Wu, I'm sorry to be so presumptuous, I'm so sorry, what do you have to do with Zhishu?"

"Master Li Shao, I have important business with him, we have also made an agreement before.So, can you call him to come with me right now?" wu Huan replied politely.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty.But Zhishu is in closed cultivation."

"I know about it.But the most important thing now is to bring it before me," Wu Huan said with a serious face.

Master Li Shao smiled faintly, in his heart he began to feel at a loss as to what he should do, "Your Majesty, you definitely know what happens if someone is bullied in the midst of their cultivation."

Wu Huan fell silent, he stared at the towering Alchemist sect building, "it feels like I just want to cry.Why are you cultivating when you know the competition is about to be held?"

Wu Huan took a deep breath and exhaled violently, "i also know about it, Master Li Shao."

"Do I have to go back now and disappoint my father who had hoped that this competition could become the revival of the Wu family? I don't want it to end up being like that. If I go back now, surely the elders in my family will go back to blaming my father..."

"Shizu..."

"Hi all!" greeting Zhishu from the doorway, he then walked up to the crowd who were in front of the Alchemist sect building.

Everyone stared intensely at Zhishu as they watched the top actress pass in front of them, "what happened?" ask again while biting the apple in his hand casually.

Wu Huan smiled faintly as he exhaled a sigh of relief, "Zhishu, you scared me for a few days."

"You feeling agitated? Afraid I won't fight for the Wu family?"

Wu Huan nodded, "you've been cultivating for several months"

Wu Huan's body sculpted instantly, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, "you.... are already in THE REALM OF LEVEL 4 GENERALS?!!!"

"OH GOD! WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE CULTIVATION WORLD?!!!!"
