Chapter 72: Another Rock

Alex heard her ask the question and answered, "Oh, yes. I was thinking about selling some more pills. Is that alright? It did cause a bit of a problem from what I heard."

"Oh absolutely. But, we can only take in items by Wednesday. We will be getting a large number of items to sell for the bi-annual auction and will have to tally the items and send out information about the items we will be auctioning. So, if you have more pills to sell, you will have to get it in by Wednesday."

Alex thought for a while. 'I should be able to complete the pills by Wednesday right? Especially if I make them throughout the night as well,' he speculated.

"Alright then, I will bring some more pills by Wednesday. Thank you for selling my pills," he said and started walking out of the door.

"Wait for a second, Daoist," Cai Ping hurriedly stopped him.

"What is it?"

"Umm can you tell me who you are?" she really wanted to know his name now.

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself, have I? I am so sorry about that. My name is Yu Ming, and I am a disciple of Hong Wu Sect." He nodded and walked out before she could say anything.

Alex went straight back to the sect. There was nothing as of yet that he had to do, so he decided to go back to his residence.

He walked along the way when suddenly he sensed something.

'This feeling' he walked towards where he felt the thing. Somehow, unlocking his spiritual sense had far sharpened his senses, so he could feel it from quite far away.

Following the feeling brought him close to the sect market. He walked into the market and went to one of the disciples who was setting up a vendor there.

"Hello brother, How much do you want for this stone here?" he asked the male disciple setting up the vendor.

The thing Alex was pointing to was a small stone that was slightly yellow in color. This was the same type of stone that he had found in the sect market that one time, the same stone that had turned his Qi to Yang Qi.

"This stone? You can take it for 80 points brother." The disciple said.

Alex paid the amount and took the stone. Then he asked, "Can you tell me where you found this stone, brother?"

The man thought for a while and said, "I think I found in on the ground in the forbidden fields while I was suspended."

"Forbidden fields? What's that?" he asked.

"Don't you know about the Forbidden Fields? It a place where disciples are sent for a period of time as punishment. You have to survive in that treacherous place on your own." The man said.

"Punishment? Does that mean there are a lot of monsters in there? It must've been dangerous," Alex sympathized with the man.

"What? No. There are no monsters. In fact, there are no plants or animals either. The worst part is there is no Qi either. You have you survive on your own in that place with no Qi, and since your Qi gets used up, you start to get hungry and don't have anything to eat either."

"Plus, it's mostly just grassland, followed by an unending desert. It's truly one of the worst places you can be in." The man said with a scared face remembering what it had been like.

'I should ask master about it. If I can find more of these, that would be awesome.' He thought and left the sect market.

He was walking towards his residence, lost in his own thoughts when suddenly he heard someone calling for him.

"Hmm" he quickly sent out his spiritual sense to see who was calling him and saw a certain man walking towards him.

"Oh hey, Brother Kong. Long time no see." He said as he waved towards Kong Yuhan who was steadily approaching him along with a few different people with him.

"Long time no see? What a weird way to greet you have there, Brother Yu," Kong Yuhan arrived and stood in front of him.

'Do they not say long time to see in this game? I should probably stop saying that,' he thought.

"What are you doing here, Brother Kong?" Alex looked at the 3 people behind Kong Yuhan, who had a curious expression behind him.

"Hopefully same thing you are here for, Brother Yu," Kong Yuhan pointed behind Alex.

Alex looked back and saw the Alchemy hall behind him. 'Does he think I am here for Alchemy?' he thought.

"You are quite chummy with an outer sect disciple, huh Kong?" one of the men standing behind him said.

"Of course. You don't know how much he helped me the past week. He brought me the very rare Dwarf Fruit, and also aided me with creating a Qi Enhancing Pill. It isn't much of a stretch to say I broke through to Meridian Tempering only because of him. " Kong Yuhan was quite genuine when he said that.

Alex checked the 3 people behind Kong Yuhan and realized they all had Organ Tempering realm power. The man that just spoke had an organ tempering 5th realm, while the other man had Organ Tempering 4th realm. The girl on the other hand was higher than the 2 and had an Organ Tempering 9th realm cultivation.

Kong Yuhan saw Alex looking at the three behind him and finally remembered to introduce them. "Oh, I forgot to introduce you guys. This is brother Yu Ming. Brother Yu, this is Wei Xun," he pointed at the man who had talked, " This is Jia Fen, " he pointed at the other man, "and finally this is Zhou Mi."

Alex nodded to them and greeted them. Both the males reciprocated with their own greetings, while the lady only nodded a little. She didn't seem to be the talking type.
