Chapter 506 - A Month Later

"AAAAAAAA-AHAHAHHA~"

Emily screamed from the top of her lungs as the rollercoaster went downhill. Alex could also feel the rush of the moment, but it wasn't scary at all to him for some reason.

Even until the end, he never once screamed like the other people on the roller coaster.

"Gosh, you're no fun. You've become too used to heights in-game, haven't you?" Emily asked.

"I can't help it if I know how to fly, can I?" Alex asked.

"Sigh, at least one of us is having fun in the game," Emily said. "Come on, let's go. I want to have some crepe."

"Oh, don't you want to go on that ride before that?" Alex asked as he pointed to a fun-looking amusement park ride.

"Arghh, I do. But I'm also feeling a little hungry. Are you not hungry right now? We both haven't eaten anything since breakfast," she said.

"I guess I am. Alright, let's go eat something, and we can continue having fun afterward," Alex said and went to a food stall in the amusement park.

They ordered some crepes for themselves and found a place to sit down to eat.

"I haven't had this much fun in a long while," Emily said. "Also, it's nice having someone to talk to. Being alone all the time wasn't very fun, I must say."

"I'm sorry. If I knew you had completely stopped playing already, I would've made more time to spend with you. God knows I have a lot of free time right now," Alex said.

"No, no, don't be sorry. It has nothing to do with you anyway," Emily said. "It's my fault that started all of that problem. Now I can't even go past being an outer sect disciple. The game is not worth it for me at all."

"Besides, it helped me find time for my parent's store when I went back home. They were surprised to see that I wasn't addicted to the game like everyone else.

"What will you do with your capsule then?" Alex asked.

"I don't know. Maybe I will sell it, but maybe I will want to go back and play. I will keep it for now at least," Emily said.

"That's not a bad idea," Alex said. "I wonder how many people end up selling their gears after they die and the game isn't fun anymore. Should be a lot of people right?"

"I would assume so. As far as I know, there is not a single person that managed to get a good roll on their body, and talent after reincarnating," Emily said.

"Hmm, maybe I should pull out my shares from the Deva corp's stocks. It feels really flimsy right now," Alex thought.

"By the way, you never talk about your game. Is there a reason why you are so free right now? Don't you have to work hard to earn money?" Emily asked.

"Uh, I only have 2 things to do all day in-game. Train, and make pills. Training takes 2-4 hours at most and making pills takes at most 2 hours too, so I have a lot of time free on my hand," Alex said.

"Hmm and you make money from these pills right?" Emily asked.

"Yeeee. Actually, not right now. I can't sell my pills, but when I can, yes. Pills are what make me money the most," Alex said.

"I probably should have taken some sort of profession when I started too. Then I probably wouldn't have died on that mission in the snow," Emily said.

"Alright, enough of this depressing talk. Let's finish and go ride some more of those rides," Alex said as he started chomping on his crepe.

Emily giggled and rushed to finish her crepe as well. After 2 more hours of having fun in the amusement park, they finally returned back home.

Both Hannah and Sarah were in the game, so they never even realized that the two had gone out at all.

"Do you want me to keep you company out there?" Alex asked.

"No, no. Go back to the game. You don't have to stop doing something you enjoy just because I don't," Emily said.

"Thank you," Alex said and left the living room. He went to his room and freshened up before going back into the capsule and logging in.

He woke up in his room and looked at the bed he was sitting on. Pearl wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"He must be training," Alex thought and walked out. He walked along the white underground hallways and made his way to a special place designated for him and him alone.

It was the alchemy room that was created for him. The beasts had worked extra hard to make sure the room was ready the day after he had asked for it.

Since then, he had been making pills daily, and his experience with making True pills had increased a lot.

By now, he was successfully creating Earth-grade True pills without any issue. The pills he made were on the easier side amongst the recipes he knew, but that was still an achievement for him who wasn't in the True realms yet.

That was all because of his Qi. Thanks to his Qi becoming increasingly denser and more profound as he broke through, by the time he was in the 5th Mind Tempering realm, all of his Common Qi would turn into True Qi after a night of cultivation.

When that had happened the first time, he had wondered if he had reached the True realm by some chance and skipped a couple of realms. However, the status on him still said that he was in the Mind Tempering realm, so he knew what realm he was in.

As for after that realm, every subsequent realm, his Qi had gotten more and more dense. Now, even his common Qi was so dense that he could almost handle True rank ingredient while making pills.

He himself was surprised at how well he had done at making the pills with just his normal Qi. With True Qi, he could easily form most True pills that weren't complex in recipes.

Alex entered his alchemy room and sat in front of the furnace. He brought out his cauldron and put it on the fire before taking a deep breath to regulate his 8th Mind Tempering realm cultivation base.

That was the realm he had reached after a month of being in this place, and he was very close to the 9th as well. Just a few more days of training, and he could surely be there.

After that, it was just a matter of time before he reached the True realm.

Alex was giddy with happiness every time he remembered this. Still, he calmed down his excitement and started making pills once more.

He put in the ingredients one by one and started moving them as the recipe asked for. If Alex had made this pill a month ago, he would have to be cautious enough to change his common Qi to True Qi 3 different times so as to not get attacked by the energy of the ingredient.

However, now he didn't need to worry about that at all since all of his Qi was True Qi, to begin with. In just 10 more minutes, Alex managed to form the pill.

The pill-splitting Qi still didn't release when making True Pills for some reason, so Alex was at least happy about that.

When he finally finished the pill, he looked at the harmony and realized that it was at 32%. For a True pill made by someone that hadn't even entered the True realms yet, this was not a bad harmony at all.

Alex nodded to himself when he saw this and put it in a bottle. He then brought out more ingredients and started making more pills.

Unfortunately, despite being True Qi, his True Qi wasn't dense enough to last very long. So just after 2 hours, he had to stop making pills.

Still, Alex was satisfied with the 6 pills he managed to make, with breaks in between them.

Once done, he stood up and left the room to go outside. He walked through the bright hallway and came up to the stairs that led to the garden on the right side of the palace.

Alex was allowed to freely go around this place, so he walked up to the aboveground with no hesitation.

When he finally walked out of the door, he could see quite a few beasts standing around. When they saw him, however, they started jumping and screaming before making their way to in front of him.

"Please, stay behind. I have 6 pills for today," Alex said. "I can sell them to you based on what you have."

The beasts didn't understand what Alex had said at all, but that was when Yao Jia came in handy. She had been waiting for this to start in her garden outside, and as soon as Alex spoke, she translated what he said to the beasts.

It had taken him a bit, but Alex had managed to show that his pills were effective to the beasts. Especially the ones that healed and helped in cultivation. In these peaceful times, the ones that made them temporarily powerful didn't receive as much attention, but they were also loved by the beasts quite a bit.

Alex's intentions at the start had only been to exchange the pills with monster cores, and he still wanted them, but after seeing what else the beasts could give in exchange, he was more than happy to accept them.

That was how Alex had set up this small auction of his own, and it was going to start right now.
