Alchemies

Chapter 36: Return to the sect

"He'll stay with me. I need to teach him cultivation techniques and martial arts. That takes a lot of time."

"No, he'll stay with me. I need to give him my alchemical knowledge. That takes more time.

The surrounding elders watched the two sect leaders quarrel with wry smiles on their faces. The two sect leaders were always like this, every time they met.

Alex listens to the quarrel between the two as he is also unsure what to do exactly. He thought for a moment and spoke.

"Master!!"

“”What?”” the two sect leaders looked at him together.

"Uhhh.." she didn't know how to tell them with whom she was talking. "Self Defense Teacher, I have a request."

Wen Cheng realized he was talking to her, so he spoke, "Come, tell me your request."

“My request is master wait 2 weeks before taking me to sect. Right now, I am studying Alchemy, and I don't want to stop. I have many alchemy ingredients, and I want to use them to make pills. I have to finish all of this in 2 weeks and after that, I will stay in the Tiger sect for 2 weeks before returning to the Hong Wu Sect, where I will stay another 2 weeks."

He declared his request.

Ma Rong spoke, "So you will stay 2 weeks with us, and then 2 weeks with Wen Cheng, huh? That's not a bad idea. All right, we gotta do that."

Wen Cheng sighed as well, and said, "Alright. I guess I can handle it. But be prepared, once you join, I will not only teach you about cultivation. You will learn how to fight from the ground up. You will learn many different martial arts and eventually, you will learn other techniques."

"I understand, Martial Master. Thank you." Thank you."

Hearing his new disciple thank him, Wen Cheng took a slight breath, and said to the older man, "Look around a bit, and see if you find the cat's corpse. Also, take a little of this blood from where the cat landed inside." crater. We might be able to benefit from it."

He then turned to Alex and said, “See you in 2 weeks, pupil.” After saying that, he started to drift slowly, and flew away.

Alex surprised. 'So you can fly with your Qi. Why am I not able to do it?' he wonders.

Ma Rong looked back at the Great Elder and said, "Great Chief, I think we should take some of his blood as well. His blood might be useful for alchemy research."

“I'll do as you say, sect leader.” The great elder went and collected blood from where the corpse was.

“Alright, let's go back,” Ma Rong said as he pulled out a small artifact like a boat, and jumped on it. He turned to look at Alex, whose eyes showed admiration for the artifact, and said, “Let's go up. I'll fly us back to sect.”

'Is the sect leader incapable of flying by himself?' he thinks. The boat started flying at a faster speed than anyone else.

“We will leave now, Mr and Mrs City,” she said and flew away.

The flying speed of the boat reminded him of the bullet train he rode to get to the city of Oakleaf. 'Does flying in an airplane feel the same?' he wonders.

He looked around and saw that the other elders were now flying faster and chasing after the boat. So, he decided to ask.

“Master, why do we use this boat to fly when the other elders fly themselves at the same speed?”

Ma Rong looked back and replied, "Flying alone is easy, but if you bring a lot of people, it's hard to share your attention with different people. So, instead of flying all the different people one by one, flying one boat with the people on it would be easier."

“The reason why we are not faster than the other elders is because I chose not to go that fast. You are only in the realm of hardening bones, if you fall at full speed this boat, you will fall. , and be unable to handle the impact of your fall."

Ma Rong's eyes widened when he heard what he had just said, "You can float with your current cultivation?" she asked.

I mean, the last time I tried was before I entered the Bone Tempering realm about 3 days ago. I haven't tried with my current cultivation.” She said.

Ma Rong turned his head towards the other elders and said with a serious face, "Everything, I go first. Take your time to come back." He then looked towards Alex and said, “Wait a minute”

Alex had no idea what was going on, but he gripped the boat on both sides. As soon as he did that, he felt a loud punch as the boat drove through the forest, and within 5 minutes reached Hong Wu Sect.

Ma Rong did not stop there and flew the boat straight to the mountain of the sect leader and stopped him only after reaching the top. He got off the boat, and Alex followed right behind.

His feet trembled slightly as he landed on the ground. His speed was too much for him to handle.

'It took me all night to reach that place in the forest, and he brought me back in less than 6 minutes?' he was very surprised.

Ma Rong was also a little out of breath. It seemed like he had to use too much Qi to speed up this many boats.

'Why did he do that?' he thinks.

"Yu Ming, you said you could float? Show me." He said simply.
