NEW PREY

morning came while Alex stopped cultivating, everyone packed up their belongings and got ready to head back to the capital, Alex let the kids have the corpses of the beasts they had slain, The kids were excited to go back to the capital, the thought of sleeping on their own beds made them happy to no end, it was a blessing for them. They would probably be the only ones among the current students of the first year to have achieved cultivation, this baffled them to no end, their master had told them this was the fruit of their own hard work. But he also advised them to not act haughty and arrogant.

After arriving in the capital, Alex did not idle by, he went towards the direction of the medicine pavilion, though the fact that it was a pagoda made him chuckle at the name.

He had decided on his plans before and now he was going to implement them, Even if he does not get to meet a very skilled alchemist, a normal one would also do the job.

As soon as he entered the pagoda, a lady greeted him, "Greetings dear customer how may I help you?" she gave an amicable smile.

"Gr, I would like to sell some monsters corpses, mostly snake type beasts ranging from stage 1 to 12. I wonder if I could get the lady to call for a skilled alchemist who knows his stuff(cause I sure as hell don't) "

"Ohh, so it's business, we'll follow me, Sir," said the lady as she started walking towards what looked like a basement room or something. Alex followed her to what looked like a 20×20 room.

Alex gave a nod to the lady, he did not need to ask her what to do, he swept his finger in the air, and countless bodies of snake type beats as well as some plant type lifeforms started falling onto the floor and soon the whole room was filled to the brim leaving just enough space for the two of them to stand.

"Wha Wha What, so many beast corpses, a a that's a winewood snake 🐍 corpse, and it's not even damaged by much, excuse me I think I need to call for someone to deal with this caliber of work," said the lady as she hurriedly ran out of the room.

"Ahh, but I still have more to drop, well whatever, as long as I complete my work here, all is well I guess," said Alex as he stood there waiting for the lady to come back with his target

The lady, on the other hand, was in such a hurry that she even forgot to ask the mister to wait while she fetched a high ranked alchemist who can tell about the reL worth of all those precious beasts, judging Don her open understanding, she came to the conclusion that she might have to call for at least an Earth or sky ranked alchemist, but this branch of medicine pavilion only had an Earth ranked alchemist and that was the only one in this entire kingdom.

One could see a man in his late thirties working in what looked to be like a botanical garden, in front of him was a cauldron which floated mid-air, with fire mysteriously burning below it in a relatively calm manner unlike the usual nature of the fire attribute, perhaps it had something to do with the man's control over the said law.

After what seemed to be seconds later, the cauldron slowly floated down and settled on the ground, the fire dissipated, the middle-aged man calmly walked towards the cauldron and opened the lid, a strong fragrance akin to the scent of ginger and dramatic rolled out, "Finally done with a batch of hundred body cleansing pills" although the man talked to himself, it did not come off as weird.

Seemingly even before the door was about to open, he had already tilted his face in the direction of the door., " Yes, what is it now? I thought I told you not to disturb me even if an

earthquake comes (,'Ahhh it's so difficult to make pills of such level, ) " said the man with an annoyed tone.

Seeing that her boss was about to become angrier, she hurriedly bowed and delivered her message, "Sir I am sorry to bother you, but a young man, with a lot of monster corpses, has come and is waiting downstairs, these are some unique and precious corpses among them so I thought I should inform you"

"Hmmm...its alright, I will be joining you in a second" the man nodded, and began to put the pills inside a beautifully made vial.

===================

While the lady was gone I asked another staff to show me another room so I could deposit more beast corpses.
