"Shut up, don't spout non sense, I mean to say different caves. Only me and Feng Xue are sharing you can live next door" she said a little embarrassed.
"Oh, i thought i would have a good luck but i it is still good live near the leader and vice-leader." he said and followed them
They choose a cave at the bottom of the mountain. "You can live here and we will be living next door." Tang Mei said as she was about to leave
"Well, why don't you huys come inside i want to mahe a deal with Fairy Xue." He said to them
"Is it about pills, we already have a made a deal." Mei said
"Yes, it is about pills but now that we have alchemist here it better to make a direct deal it will be good in the future. I have something that might be of a great help to Fairy Xue" he said with the mysterious smile
"Oh i also want to see." she said as we all entered the cave.
"Density of Qi is quite good compared to out side, and it is more spacious than i thought." he said as they looked around. It had two room and kitchen with a nice area to sit and relax.
There were also formation runes that silence the sounds from inside-out or outside to in, based on the need of a cultivatior.
They sat on the benches prepared in the hall and Feng Xue asked "What deal were you talking about brother Xiao"
"I want you to help me refine pills i need in the future and i will need a lot of them, you don't have to worry ingredients as i will provode you in the future. It will also help you in practice and i will get the pills.
I have something which will greatly help you, because i can feel an extraordinary bloodline inside you." he said and atmosphere changed at his last words because it a closely guarded secret known only to few.
"Don't worry i won't tell anyone and i don't think there are many people that can feel the same as me." he said and passed on the token to Feng Xue.
"You can check it first, if you agree then we can keep that with you otherwise you have to return it back." he said
She didn't say anything just used her spirit energy to check the token but her expression changed to shock when she read the the context a little.
After checking it she said "Its very presious i can't take this and we are in the same faction and it is my responsibility to help you in refining pills." she said as she returned me the jade token.
"Don't worry, you can keep it since you have agreed and it is not useful to me as i am lightning cultivator not fire.
Moreover even if i needed it in the future, i have a copy." he said and she accepted it with a grateful look.
"What is it?" Tang Mei asked
"Very special Fire art" Feng Xue replied without any furthur explanation as she didn't want to share it with anyone without his permission, Tang Mei also didn't asked further
"Can i ask you where did you get it." she asked him
'In some ruins in eastern lands' she nodded and didn;t asked anymore.
"You can tell me anytime, you need the pills and give the ingredients to me." she said
"Oh right, i will give you right away." he said and took out boxes from his storage ring. "These are 10 sets of water lily seed, white dragon root, red peony and some other ingredients for Qi ascension pill. How long will to take to concoct them."
"I will give you pills day after tomorrow" she said excitedly as she was also eager to prove her skills. "It is exhausting and consumes lot oif energy. if i was stronger i would have completed in few hours."
"No worries." he said as it was not very long time for him.
"Have you choosen a name for our faction we need to register within a few days." he said
"Ah no, i haven't choosen any name yet. Don't worry we will think in tomorrow's meeting.It is almost night, so we should rest for now." she said and decided to leave for her own cave with her friend.
After they left the place he went in his room and activated the formation.
He sat cross legged on his bed and took out 3 fruits that he acqired yesterday.
"These fruits should be enough for me to breakthrugh third stage." he said and started meditating for few minutes then consumed the fruits one by one and activated his cultivation technique 'Primordial Star Refining art'.
All the energy from the fruits turned into spiritual Qi and flowed through his body. He could feel the barrier within few minutes as there was a small wave released from his body and another wave was released after another 20 minutes.
He has successfully broke through 2 minor stages which made him happy as he didn't think that he would be able to get such a tressure at the enterance test.
After consolidating his aura he decided to rest for the night and next day he will explore the sect
