Alchemies

Chapter 19: The Yellow Stone

Alex had a similar feeling to his feeling when he found [Spirit Cleansing Lily]. However, this feeling was somehow very different both in terms of its type and origin.

For starters, the feeling he had towards [Spirit Cleansing Lily] came from somewhere in his mind. Something in his mind slightly prompted him to think that it was a good item.

However, this time the feeling came from his body. His entire body reacted like a hungry lion that had just seen an injured deer. His body was ready to pounce on him.

He went to the seller to see what the real thing was. The seller was an outer sect disciple and there were some items he sold.

Of all, what caught Alex's attention was a small, smooth but jagged piece of yellow stone.

"Hello big brother, can you tell me what the yellow stone is?" he asked the seller.

The girl looked at Alex and said, "I don't know what it is. The weather was always warm so I thought it must be something good, and chose to sell it. Wh why? You want it?" he looked at Alex expectantly.

"Yes, right, sister. How much do you want for this?" She asked.

“100 points. No bargaining,” he said without hesitation.

‘But I don't have 100 points’ Alex is confused what to do.

Looking at his frowning face, the outer sect disciple became more confident with his attitude and said, "If you don't understand the meaning, go. Let others see my stuff."

"I only have 88 points at the moment, brother. Is there a way to lower the price?" he asked, hoping he would drop it. He already found it difficult to stand near the stone without immediately grabbing it and putting it in his mouth.

"can't. If you don't have 100 points, go." The girl closed her eyes after saying this and started meditating.

Alex thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't have a full 100 points, will you accept some alchemy materials, sister?" She asked

The girl opened her one eye and looked curiously as she said, “Depends”. Alex immediately rejoiced and took out 4 different alchemy ingredients that he found in the forest.

There was normal material he had encountered in the forest. The girl looked at the stuff and was surprised.

"You're going to give me those 4 materials, and 88 points?" he asked curiously.

“Iya, Brother,” replied Alex without hesitation.

That's quite helpful. He no longer had the urge to eat the stone at once. He saw another object in his hand, the nameplate of the girl.

He had to transfer 88 points to him, but he didn't know how. He decided to do the same as Kong Yuan did and put his signboard together.

He focused a little on them and got the option to transfer contribution points. He unhesitatingly gave 88 points to the nameplate of the girl.

He then handed back his signboard, along with 4 alchemy ingredients. He bid farewell and exited the sect market.

His second job in the valley of the sect was to learn how to be the help of an alchemist. But, he now had to wait until he found out what the yellow stone was.

He had just left his cottage half an hour ago, and now he was back in it. He sat on his bed and felt comfortable. He then opened his inventory and took out the yellow stone.

The yellow stone looked like an ordinary piece of stone. The shape is smooth and jagged. It was smaller in size than spirit stones and was also not translucent.

The yellow color on the stone was completely yellow, and not the turbid yellow inside the stone that was similar to spirit stones.

Once the stone was in his hands, the urge to eat it appeared once again. His mind was being reasonable and telling him not to do anything stupid like eating stones.

But his body's urge to eat the stone was too great for him to ignore. He decided to choose this one body, and reluctantly ate it.

The moment the stone touched his tongue, it melted into a hot, boiling liquid that flowed down his throat. However, despite the scorching heat, he did not feel any pain.

Once the liquid reached his stomach, it began to spread to every corner of his body.

Suddenly, his body started to hurt. It felt as if his entire body was submerged in a bath filled with boiling lava, which was somehow injected into his veins.

This was the worst pain he had ever felt both in real life and in the game. It took five minutes for the pain to slowly start to go away.

As the pain subsided, all that was left in his body was strength and spirit. He could sense that the amount of Qi that could be stored by his body had increased substantially, and also that Yang Qi was tens or even stronger than normal Qi.

He could easily tell that he was twice as strong as before.
