A few months have passed since Jian Wushuang and Josh have arrived at this mountain named Deadly Mountain, he has learned a lot of things, about this world and its geography.
This plane has two continents, The Dark Continent, filled with monsters and demons. And the light Continent, where humans live, the two continents are aware of each other, but do not bother, the reason Josh was sold for so much was because he was a human, in the Dark Continent.
Although he couldn't understand, as the young man named Long Hao was also human.
The humans and demons each have their own way of cultivating, the humans tend to take the path of body cultivation, where one tempers his body through natural treasures and a lot of pain.
The demons, exclusively take the path of Qi Cultivation, a method which absorbs Qi from Heaven and Earth and store it in their body, they both have they're advantages, however the demons are much stronger than the humans even though they have a lot less numbers, this proves a point... Qi Cultivation tends to be better.
Alex has been learning the basics of this world and has developed a interest in Alchemy.
*****3 weeks ago*****
"Alchemy... it's one of the most expensive professions as it requires a lot of resources, as such, Alchemists are rare, the ones that do exist though, are all well respected figures, this doesn't only stand in this plane, in all the universe, high-level alchemist are well respected even by the most supreme beings such as Madam, however, Alchemy isn't something you get better at over time, you have to be talented to succeed in Alchemy,
As for what it is, from my understanding, it is everything to do with making pills.. Pills are small balls full of impurities that do have certain uses depending on the ingredients used, it can be things like increasing your qi intake and even help you regrow long lost limbs"
"Wow, that much" - Josh said in surprise- " I would like to have a go at Alchemy, do you have any books on you, Senior Brother Wushuang?"
"Indeed I do, however I will not be giving you any books, techniques or any information, I will exclusively be training your fighting skills" - he said in a monotone voice.
"Damn, well... you said I needed a cauldron right? Can you at least give me that and some ingredients, just ones to make a mortal rank pill."
"No"
"Pwease big bwo" - Josh said in an annoying voice
"Sigh, fine. However you first need qi to control the temperature and ingredients of the pill" - he said annoyed.
****Today****
"Hey can we start cultivating already"
"You idiot, do you have the brain of a 10 year old as well, you need to learn etiquette and basics before starting your-"
"Journey, yeah, yeah I've heard it a thousand times, just please give me a cultivation technique, in fact... let's make a bet, if i can make it to 1st stage of Qi starter in one night, you give me all the alchemy resources I ask of you, and you give me your best Immortal rank technique" - he said with a sneaky smile.
"Oh yeah... SURE, let's do it, here is the technique"
Josh started reading and soon finished the book
"Well that was easy"
