Chapter 12: An Evil Spirit Blocking the Way.

Qin Chen asked, "what do you mean he can't afford it by himself."

Peng Rong slapped his forehead and explained, "I forgot you are new, on first day of every month you will get 200 points, which are barely enough for meals. You missed the date, so you didn't get any point so good luck."

Only now did Qin Chen realized what they were talking about. They sat on a table in the corner and started eating. As food reached Qin Chen's stomach, it dispersed into warm currents of energy and entered in every inch of his body.

At this moment Peng Rong explained, "these dishes contain many spiritual herbs and monster meat like, red mountain ginseng, sun spring mushroom and earth dragon tendons. They cook this food or three days on earth fire in an alchemy cauldron. Not only it is delicious but also very nutritious and easy to digest. After lunch you should go back and meditate so this energy can seep into every pore of your body."

Qin Chen nodded and quickly finished his meal. After he finished his meal, he set a time for going to pill palace and went to Professor Liang's office. Professor liang gave him an hour to digest his lunch. Afterward Professor Liang started to teach Qin Chen about spirit beasts. Professor Liang only left Qin Chen after 3 hours. His head was spinning with all the information he got from Professor Liang. After that Qin Chen made his way toward pill palace. At the side of palace, he saw Peng Rong and Da Qian standing.

Just as he arrived Da Qian said, "what took you so long, we have been waiting for you here all this time. Hmph"

Qin Chen replied embarrassedly, "teacher Liang want me to take extra classes to cover last three month's syllabus, that's why I was late."

"What you are taking extra classes from that Reaper." Peng Rong and Da Qian yelled in unison.

Students coming and going from pill palace also turned to look at Qin Chen in surprise.

'It seems like master is very famous.' Thought Qin Chen.

"What, why are you looking at me like that. Let me tell you even though I am very handsome, but I don't have any interest in men." Qin Chen said while covering his chest like a frightened girl.

Everyone around laughed and black lines appeared on Peng Rong's face.

Peng Rong snorted, "humph! Let me tell you, I think that reaper had taken a liking to you, don't worship her as your master otherwise." Peng Rong suddenly shuddered as if remembering something.

Qin Chen looked at him with weird gaze and thought, 'what will he do if he knew that I've already became a disciple of Professor Liang.'

At this moment Da Qian interjected, "come let's go and get everything you need, I need to go back and run another fifty rounds around teaching plaza."

"And why is that?" Qin Chen asked.

Peng Rong laughed and replied as if forgotten about previous embarrassment, "fatty Qian was tired and decided to take a rest under a tree and fell asleep, but at that moment professor Liang arrived and beat the shit out of him. Now he has to run fifty rounds after sunset if he can't complete this task then his punishment will increase by another twenty rounds."

As they walked in, Qin Chen could smell pill fragrance. There were tens of counters where his seniors were working as attendants. There were many students either purchasing or selling pills, elixirs or herbs.

They got to counter eight and Peng Rong purchased 30 portions of body refining powder and then asked Qin Chen, "don't you need body refining powder."

Qin Chen asked in reply, "no I don't need body refining powder at this moment but blood burst pills and some seeds."

"Why do you need blood burst pills, don't tell me you are in blood change realm." Da Qian asked with slacked jaws.

"No, I don't need them for myself, but I am running an errand for a senior, I need high grade blood burst pills" Qin Chen lied with a straight face.

"It's okay then, I nearly pissed my pants thinking you are already at blood change realm." Said Da Qian with relief while patting his chest.

"You can get blood burst pills at counter 15 while you can get seeds from that second to last corner." Student at counter eight replied while pointing at a counter in corner.

Qin Chen got 20 high grade blood burst pills for 3 points each while he got five types of seed for a total of 25 points. Now there were only pitiful amount of eighteen points in his identity bracelet.

Afterward Qin Chen returned to his courtyard and started sowing seeds in backyard. He had purchased seeds for blood ginseng, purple bamboo, serene ghost vines, golden mammoth grass and fire lily. These were common herbs used to concoct blood burst pills and body refining powder. It was time for sunset so Qin Chen started his exercise in the center of the yard because world tree's aura can speed up herbs' growth by ten times and this will increase with increase in his cultivation.

Even today he can change his pose while running sun moon divine art. An hour after sun has gone down Qin Chen was gasping for breath. Due to previous night's experience, he didn't hold on stubbornly lest he have to sleep in the yard.

After he regained some breath he walked into courtyard, there he saw Lee Dong Min making something in the kitchen. When Qin Chen walked in Lee Dong Min asked, "I am making ramyeon, you want to try."

"sure" Qin Chen replied and sat on dining table.

"I wanted to eat tide wrym shoulder than I remembered I can't cook at the moment, and I definitely don't have points to purchase tide wrym shoulder meat." Lee Dong Min complained while making ramyeon.

Qin Chen merely smiled. After a few moments Lee Dong Min placed ramyeon on table and asked, "why were you doing yoga in backyard."

Qin Chen laughed and said, "I was cultivating. Those were not yoga poses but stances in my cultivation technique."

"Oh! I see." Said Lee Dong Min while nodding his head. Then they started eating ramyeon. During this time, they made a small chat. Qin Chen found out that Lee Dong Min was from Haetae city, his parents were both elders of inscription palace and illusion palace. Lee Dong Min martial spirit was also an illusion type, Seven String Zither, which can control people's seven emotions and send listeners to a world of illusion.

After finishing ramyeon and bidding farewell to Lee Dong Min, Qin Chen took a bath and then started moving toward Wuxing palace. When he was on his way toward Wuxing palace Evan blocked his way. This time there was a muscular boy beside him.

'This evil spirit is not going to leave me alone.' As Qin Chen was thinking Evan said while pointing at him, "Qin Chen I will see how you are going to get away from brother Kong Chen?"

The muscular boy spoke at this moment, "little guy doesn't blame me I am just doing this for some points." After completing his sentence Kong Chen slapped toward Qin Chen's chest. He wanted to cripple Qin Chen's martial spirit.

Qin Chen narrowed his eyes and activated sun moon spirit energy and a faint yellow and silver light appeared on his body and he slapped Kong Chen's palm, a bone breaking voice could be heard and surrounding became deathly silent.

Without waiting for Kong Chen to regain his senses Qin Chen kicked his chest and he flew three meters in the air, spitting blood and a shrill scream sounded in the area. After falling he fainted.
