CHAPTER 30: NEW HORIZONS PART 2
The forbidden city spiral point, an area with many mysteries.
For years, thousands of scavengers ventured into their regions, in search of treasure, and everything they could loot.
Now it was morning, the sun was at its highest.
And as always, several beasts could be seen attacking a common point, even beasts compared to the eighth and ninth levels of Qi condensation, all this pressure caused many scavengers to refrain from entering.
All the beasts were heading towards a point, where two beautiful women met.
One held up a long sword as her arm, another carried a halberd.
Both attacked decisively, piercing and slicing each monster into hundreds of pieces.
The girl named Aeger was swinging her sword very accurately, the beasts that approached her were split in half.
Their sister Jasmine, hoping that it would come into their range, at that moment, crushed them with her halberd in a single movement.
"As expected of a C-class forbidden city, and these beasts are just the beginning" – Aeger spoke as he slashed several more beasts.
"We have only come to see the northern part of the city, it is said that a very powerful sect lived there in the past" – Jasmine split the skulls of several beasts in succession.
"If we can get in, we may find several treasures"
The Sita sisters nodded, as they traversed this sea of beasts, the beasts' bodies falling like paper before their strength.
After all, both sisters exuded cultivation from the tenth level of Qi Condensation, the Great Circle.
However.
In the north of the city.
In the Pill Lord Sect.
A 10-year-old girl was reading several books, concentrating on each paragraph at once, that she had a pot next to her.
But suddenly a big explosion was heard coming from the city center.
"What's going on? I have to tell the elder brother." – This girl was Bai Guoer, whom Adrian brought to this place, after she confessed that she wanted to be an alchemist.
Perhaps Apothecary Gu would have taken her in, but she was still very small, and she wouldn't lend her books to just anyone, besides, who would charge her for them.
Instead, Adrian wanted to help her, after two years in this place, along with the lessons that Adrian gave her every day, she was finally able to make a low-level pill, although even with only a purity of 5%, the apothecary Gu had already perfected these pills, so her pills were 80% pure. Although they were only low-level.
Following the rumbling, Bai Guoer arrived at the entrance of the Pill Lord's Sect.
In that place a mist with a pair of eyes stared at her.
"I want to see Big Brother Adrian" – Bai Guoer said towards the fog.
At first she was afraid of him, but now she was used to his presence.
The fog gave way to her, she thanked as she entered.
This place before being discovered was as dark as the night, but Adrian had decorated it to make it more dazzling, and they had cleaned it.
This must have been the main house of some old man.
When Bai Guoer reached the end of the hall, he looked at Adrian, who was concentrating, preparing a couple of pills. The fire burned like the embers of a volcano, the whole atmosphere seemed a little suffocating, in addition to the medicinal smell that was permeated throughout the place.
Adrian had spent the two years training and practicing every day, his practice paid off, and his training paid off. He had now broken through to be a mid-level alchemist.
When he arrived at this stage, Apothecary Gu said that he couldn't teach him anything anymore. So, from this point, it was just him, deducing as he practiced, moreover, that he had also found a book with Mr. Pill's notes, it seemed that everyone had seen it as garbage because no one had picked it up. That had helped him a lot to continue with his training.
But there was something else he had discovered in those two years.
While Adrián was concentrated. I notice that someone had arrived, luckily the pill formation was about to end.
"Did something happen Sister Bai?" – Adrian asked, the fog would warn him of any possible event, but he hadn't said anything.
Sister Bai stepped forward, bowed a little, and began to tell what she had felt.
"In the center of the city, there is a great commotion, I can feel strong bursts of Qi, besides, the beasts are agitated" – That was Bai Guoer's report, then he waited for his Elder brother's decision.
Adrian thought of Bai Guoer's words, then the pot under him sounded with a stridor, when three white pills fell into his hand, Adrian caught them. He then threw one at Bai Guoer.
Bai Guoer said, while putting away the pill, really the value of a mid-tier pill was exorbitantly priced, something he could never buy, but his brother always gave him some.
"Okay, let's see" – With those words, they both began to come out.
Adrian glanced sideways at Bai Guoer on the road. She couldn't be considered a genius of cultivation, much less alchemy.
But in this time, Adrian had given her many medium-level pills with 90% purity, plus her parents had given her a cultivation technique for her.
(It seems that he has already reached the sixth level of Qi condensation) – Adrian thought, while looking at himself.
Thanks to the purification pills, he was able to continue cultivating. But, after absorbing energy until he didn't stop, he could only advance to the fourth level of Qi condensation.
It doesn't matter how many beasts he killed and absorbed.
Nothing was effective to open the next opening.
Adrián thought about it, and realized that this must be the fault of the mask. But at the same time he realized that his strength was even greater the more he absorbed, he was stagnant, but at the same time his body had undergone a transformation.
Earlier at the third level of Qi condensation, if he wanted to kill someone from the fourth level he had to use all his weapons, for the fifth level he had to prepare traps beforehand, but if he was attacked by one from the sixth level he would be dead.
Now at the fourth level, he only had to watch out for beasts of the eighth level of Qi condensation. Only if he risked his life could he kill one of that level.
As he thought about this, when he came outside, he saw the fog, this was also another trump card. With the fog, he could defeat beings from the ninth level, although it was very risky.
Adrian looked towards the center of the city, he could feel the bursts of Qi that Bai Guoer had mentioned.
They were terrifying bursts, even for him. Adrian observed carefully, and could detect that such presences were heading towards this place.
Adrian frowned, this was not normal at all.
"It seems that we should prepare the traps, what do you think about sister Bai" – Adrian said with a smile.
"I'll go and prepare them, I'm not long!" – Bai Guoer said animatedly as he prepared ropes, among other things.
Adrian simply gave a command to the mist, as it ascended to the sky.
"Let's finish this soon" – Adrián spoke while, a purple glow came from his eyes.
