Alchemy

Putting on a coat to conceal his identity, Tian Long went to the Alchemy association. The Alchemy association has huge power and influence in Source Continent with their branches all over source continent.

The association is a haven for all Alchemist and without the approval of the association you can not be a certified alchemist.

Getting to the branch situated at Dragon City. He looked at the structure of the building and saw it was not that big.

“Isn't a hegemon association supposed to have a large building” he thought with curiosity written all over his face. Entering the building, Tian Long was a bit shocked by the scenery of the inside.

The space inside was twice big from what he saw inside. Seeing different herbs that he needed, his eyes began to sparkle.

Heading to the receptionist, the formation eye began to operate on its own which shows that there is a physique within his range. Looking around for the possible culprit, Tian Long saw that it was the receptionist who triggered it.

Moving closer to the receptionist, he saw it was a black haired young lady with a face of 17 to 18 years that was receiving customers.

“Welcome to the Alchemy association, what would you like to buy; herbs, pill, alchemy technique, I assure you that we would answer your needs to any thing related to alchemy” she said courteously knowing that it was the first time Tian Long had come here.

As she was talking to Tian Long he assessed her to know her Physique. Checking it, it was the Nine Yin body ranked 25th on the list of physique. (a body if not strong enough, you will be turned into dual cultivation tools by other cultivator).

Asking for the price of each herb he required, he saw that the amount of coins he had would not be able to buy the quantity he intended to buy. Using all the money in his hand, he began to think of how he would store them because they were too much to be carried with hands. The receptionist seeing this said “For patronizing us by buying such a huge quantity of herb, we would like to gift a space bag”.

Tian Long hearing this was grateful because it was given to him at the right time he needs it, the receptionist taught him how to open the space bag with his spirit sense ;a widely known thing in source continent if you are able to enter the 1st Body Refining Realm you would be able to use it.

Thinking of paying her back, he said “If you want to cure your illness, you can go to the Long Family and ask for this name” giving her a piece of paper with his name written on it.

Meanwhile as Tian Long said this the receptionist was shocked for a period of time. Looking around for Tian Long but she saw that he had left already, picking up the paper he left.

An old man voice filled with killing intent said “Young Mistress, should I eliminate him”

This receptionist was the young mistress of the head of the Alchemy association, one of the hegemony power of source continent.

“Uncle Rin, don't kill him since he saw the source of my illness, he might able to cure it” she said with hope evident in her eyes.

The illness was a torture to her. At the age of six that was when the illness began, using his influence her father called different healer and physician to cure her illness but they were not able to find an antidote to it. It was her willpower that made be alive till this day

“Young Mistress you should not stress yourself because of your illness” The same old voice said with care different from the killing tone used before.

“Uncle Rin, don't you know that I am strong, the illness is nothing to me” she said cheekily.

Saying this, her face began to turn pale to the extent of her losing consciousness. Seeing his young mistress fainting “ Young Mistress…

, Young Mistress…. Wake up!” The old man said with panic on his face.

When he checked her breath, he saw that she was till breathing then he calmed down “Call Physician Wong for me right now” he said

A person appeared concealing his/her appearance “Yes, master” then disappeared after saying this.

Meanwhile Tian Long didn't know all of this as he went back home. Entering his quarters, he began to settle down and separate the herbs according to what he want to use them for.

When he settled down and began to check the fragmented memory that contains alchemy. Since it was only the cultivation method of alchemy which had information on alchemy. Checking the name of the technique, “Sundering Alchemy Technique” the name itself is defying, he was astonished.

“Alchemy is the art of breaking and stealing from heaven and earth using it to refine herbs, mountain, beast, spirit into pills”

Tian Long reading this was shocked he thought alchemy was only used to refine herbs and also one was meant to be in one with heaven and earth to refine alchemy but this alchemy is the reverse of it “it looks like this technique is not be underestimated” he thought while continuing to read more about the technique.

When he finished reading, he understood more about alchemy; alchemy pill is graded by their efficiency which ranges from one percent and one hundred percent. Pills below twenty percentage are regarded as trash pills.

One thing a alchemist must always have when he/she want to refine pill, they must have an alchemy furnace and fire used for alchemy but this technique removes the use of alchemy furnace to refine pills when cultivated to a level. But since he is still a beginner, he has to use an alchemy furnace.

Heading out, Tian Long went to where he could exchange furnace. As the young master of the family, he is eligible to request for anything twice.

Getting to his location, the family treasure room, the person in charge of this was the first elder who was on good relationship with him.

The first elder seeing Tian Long said, “Little Tian, what brings you here” with smile face. Not minding his word since he knows the good relationship between the first elder and his predecessor.

Even though his mentality of this world has changed, that doesn't change the basic etiquette to your elders.

He said with respect in his voice “First Elder, am here to pick a alchemy furnace to refine herb”

Looking at Tian Long with suspiciousness, “And when do you learn how to make alchemy” The first elder asked.

Hearing the word of the first elder, Tian Long fell silent he knows that he must not speak of anything related to the Ancestral Beasts Legacy. Even one of the legacy could bring chaos to source continent not to talk of 12 ancestral beast legacy on one person. Seeing that he was not speaking, he broke the tension with a laugh “Don't worry, everyone has his/ her own secret”. Relieved by this, Tian Long looked at the first elder with a grateful look.

Entering the treasure room he began to look for furnace to his own fitting. Picking a furnace, he headed out of the treasury room. Meanwhile as he was leaving the room, his body began to heat up and he felt something summoning him. Heading to the direction, he saw a pair of rusty sword on the ground where useless or fragmented weapon of the Long Family are kept.

With curiosity lingering on his face,he picked up both swords. He saw there was nothing special to the sword they were just old swords but since it was the one who was summoning the Ancient Yang body, he picked it and left the treasury room.

The first elder seeing what Tian Long picked was shocked by the pair of rusty sword. “Why did you pick this sword, it is a sword passed from generation to generation of the Long Family but it doesn't have any ability other than it's strong material” The first elder counselled Tian Long.

But Tian Long was adamant to his decision, he felt that this two swords has relation to his Physique. Seeing his adamant expression, the first elder gave up “Just take it as a gift from me, don't waste your opportunity to ask for anything”

Delighted by this, he thanked the first elder and left the treasure room.
