"Ah, the Seven Mountain Peaks, that’s a great sect, but sadly it’s very far, would Junior Brother Shen Bao like us to accompany you, of course after we’re done with this small venture of ours here. "I’m good, thanks for the invitation," I shrugged. "I find it rather difficult to imagine that a sect such as the Seven Mountain Peak would be interested in someone from the country of Zhou," the first elder Lao Yan spoke with a venomous tone. "Seems that you’re lacking in imagination then," I…

After another few rounds of pondering, prototyping, and a lot of brainstorming I created several hollowed bullets that placed poison pills within them and created inscribed bullets that would actually detonate a small piece of spirit stone that I fitted inside them on impact. It wasn’t something huge, but if said explosion happens inside someone that has been shot, I’d only shudder at the aftermath. I sat down and resumed my cultivation. My cultivation level was far below what I needed to travel the…

As I peeked through the cave where I was crafting, I saw something moving down below, looking at it, it was a lion alright. It was definitely still trying to locate the source of the explosive sound that the gun made. The lion was massive in size, I’ve seen lions in zoos, and thought a lion in the zoo is majestic and huge, compared to this one, the zoo lion is no larger than a newborn kitten. This thing was massive, and its name was spot on. It had bone armor all over its body, acting like a suite…

Thankfully the cave is large enough for me to pull the massive serpent without being crushed under it. Once the corpse was out, I pulled Creeping Demise and began by skinning the snake. The blade in my hand worked easily as it parted the skin from the flesh. But it still took me the better part of two hours to fully skin the snake. Once I had the skin on one side and the remains of the Snake on another, I decided against discarding this flesh, it might be poisonous to any other cultivator, but for me,…

Once I was done with my purchasing spree, I decided against going back home. It was only a temporary place that I used to craft stuff, and I also needed to leave the imperial city, lest the man from the Seven Mountain Peak comes looking for me. Still, I needed to find a quiet place to start working on my new projects. I found Zen Fei, and told him about my departure, though he felt saddened at my urgent and sudden need to leave, I left him with a few pills I had created, he was a playboy and not a…

I left the palace and headed straight to the pavilion, it’s time I go crazy about shopping, I already have too much money for it to sit in my holding bag doing absolutely nothing. Not to mention I need a lot of materials for the upcoming venture. Once I was inside the pavilion, the woman who received me the last time came with a token in hand, "This was from the emperor it’ll give you a 30% discount on everything you purchase and a single free pick from the whole pavilion," she said, her tone was…

I took the emperor’s words to heart and excused myself from the crowd. The competition continued and apparently with me removed from the venue, many of the alchemists felt more confident about their own ability. The later parts of the competition were bound to become heated up. An imperial guard came over and asked me to follow after him. And once I was in the presence of the emperor, he clapped his hands and everyone left the area leaving me and the emperor alone. "Shen Bao, may I ask how old are…

Though the cauldron I got from Xi Song’s holding bag was good, it was already contaminated with my poison Qi and I can’t use it to create anything but poison pills. "How about now, do you not need me to provide you with a cauldron of your own?" the emperor said to me through a telepathic message. Man, I hate the fact that I can’t use telepathic messaging, I’ll need to be at least at Core Creating to have my own spiritual sea and access to divine sense. I pulled my brush and wrote on a…

I began by sorting the herbs and placing them into the cauldron one by one. This only served to bring even more attention to me. No one would do what I’m doing, because simply it was not the orthodox way of alchemy. As most of the competitors would start with the essence extraction of one herb at a time, starting with the ones that would need the least heat, then up to the ones that would need the most heat to have their essences extracted. While I placed everything in my cauldron at the same time.…

The final administrator came in to collect the papers and they gathered them over. After a while I heard the discussion between the disciples, some were arguing on some of the names of the herbs and some complained that they only wrote 900 instead of the full 999, some bragged that they had most right, and some were outright crying. This highly reminded me of my days once after finals, we all talked about what happened, and how we did but were always surprised by the outcome. As it turned out the ones…
