An elbow in the ribs

Ashton waved to Axel from afar to greet him and hurried to the canteen so that he could then go back to his dorm room and craft potions to continue to increase his Soul force and make some money.

Since he had refused to go to the capital's Academy, his parents had stopped to support him financially, they had thought that this way he would soon give up and beg them to go to the Academy.

But Ashton was way too stubborn for that, and once he had chosen his path, he would not change it.

Fortunately for him, the Sun Sect was very generous and since he was able to craft medium grade potions, he was already making a lot of money.

He had thought of leaving his dorm room and renting a pavilion instead, after all pavilions were much better for meditating, but in the end he preferred to save money to buy a good weapon.
