Chapter 616: 616 Place to Get Strong

Chapter 616 Place to Get Strong　　The Lightsworn man took the girl away and fed her some pills to heal her. She would likely be in pain even after eating the pills but that was the best they could do for now.

"Did you really have to go that far?" Alex asked. He wasn't sure what to think of Shen Jing anymore. He stopped looking like a gentle elder brother, and instead looked like a sociopath who would kill him without a second thought.

'Are all Saint realm cultivators this eccentric?' Alex wondered.

"You're right. I went a little too far. But I always feel anger brewing over me when someone disrespects me. My pride doesn't allow that," Shen Jing said.

Then, a smile came upon his face. "Anyway, I came to get you. we should leave now," he said.

"Right now? Is there a caravan leaving this late at night?" Alex asked.

"Oh, we won't be using a caravan. Not that you can find a caravan go to where we're going," Shen Jing said.

"Ok, let me deal with some things here. I will be ready in a few minutes," Alex said.

"Sure, take your time," Shen Jing said.

Alex nodded and took out a talisman and read it. It was the list of ingredients and where one could find them.

Alex knew he could find most of them in the capital, but since they would visit some other cities along the way, he thought it would be best if he kept a mental note of what the cities were.

It would always be better to get something early than late.

"What are you reading?" Shen Jing asked curiously. 

"It's a list of ingredients for my healing pill and where I can find them," Alex said.

"Oh, what does it say?" he asked.

Alex handed the talisman over to Shen Jing. Shen Jing just took it with a weird look on his face and asked, "Does it have pictures? I love looking at pictures."

Alex sighed. "You can't read, can you?" he asked.

"Nope!" Shen Jing said, a little proud even.

"Are you a player?" Alex finally asked. He had been meaning to ask this question, but the last couple of events dissuaded him from this fact.

However, now that he found out that Shen Jing couldn't read, which was true of Players due to the changed language in the outer world, he was sure that Shen Jing had to definitely be a player.

"What's a player?" Shen Jing asked, immediately killing Alex's theory.

Alex wanted to ask if he was from the Central Continent, but he wasn't sure if he should. That was practically giving away the fact that Players came from the Central continent.

"Which continent are you from?" Alex asked. 

"That's a stupid question," Shen Jing said. "You should know by now that the teleportation formation to the Western Continent has been destroyed by the outsiders."

"That doesn't answer my question," Alex said.

Shen Jing smiled. "It doesn't, does it? Well, this should then. I am from the Western Continent," he said.

"Were you born here?" Alex asked.

"No, but I've been here long enough that I can be considered belonging to this place," Shen Jing said.

"So you're really not a player?" Alex asked.

"Player… hmm, I feel like I heard this word before, but I forgot where," Shen Jing said.

Suddenly, his face changed as if he remembered. "Ah, right! In the Central continent. That senior who said he made a game. You guys were called players, right?" Shen Jing said.

Alex's eyes suddenly went wide. "You've met the creator?" Alex asked with very wide eyes.

"Oh yes," Shen Jing said. "Not very long ago either. He was really troubled about the fact that someone destroyed his game."

"YOU KNOW THE CREATOR!" Alex shouted.

Shen Jing scratched his head under his golden hair and said, "Yeah, I think I said that. Although, I just met him there by chance. I was actually trying to meet a friend who stayed with him," Shen Jing said.

'Is he talking about sister Hao Ya? Makes sense since they are both Saint realm,' Alex thought.

"How did you travel between the two continents?" Alex asked.

"I have my ways," Shen Jing said.

"C—"

"No, I cannot take you there," Shen Jing said before Alex could say anything. "I'm not trying to keep you here, but I genuinely cannot take you there."

"Even if I were to take you, you would die on the way there. That continent now has a terrible Qi storm surrounding it that will kill you before you can even enter it," Shen Jing said.

That went in line with what Hao Ya had told Alex. "You don't have any teleportation talismans?" Alex asked.

He had his own, but it was an unreliable one. It would take another 10 years before it was usable at all, even then, its randomness would make it a bad device to use as aim to enter the continent.

"Unfortunately, I am not so rich at the moment. I am what you would call broke," Shen Jing said.

Alex doubted it, but he still nodded. "I see," Alex said. "Can you tell me more about the creator then?" 

"I promise I will give you some information about him from time to time," Shen Jing said with an annoyed face. "Can we leave now?"

"One second," Alex ran up to the receptionists and took out nearly 200 pills that he had made since he had become an Alchemist for the guild. 

These didn't include the healing pills and other sets of pills he would likely need along the way. It only included normal pills that helped in cultivation or helped remove bottlenecks slightly so one could breakthrough.

The receptionist was shocked, but she didn't show it on her face. She quickly took it and had a formation check it all within a minute.

She got a list of the pill names as well as their harmony level. When she saw pills with nothing but 35-45% of harmony, she couldn't help contain her shock. Some of these pills were even at around 48%.

This was a man on the verge of being a True Heaven Alchemist, and he was so young.

Alex had made exactly 4 pills that went 50% or 51% in harmony in the last 10 or so days but decided to keep it under wraps so as to keep some aces up his sleeve.

Once the receptionist said that the task was done, Alex thanked her and moved to the two Lightsworns that were staying by the side.

"I'm sorry for what the senior did to you earlier. Please take this healing pill as an apology," Alex said and handed the girl a 40% healing pill before leaving.

He really didn't want bad blood with the Lightsworns as that might end up becoming his only way to heal his arm in the end.

If for some reason he was barred from becoming a Lightsworn, that would be terrible.

After realizing all that he needed to do was done, he went back to Shen Jing, and together they left the guild.

Shen Jing quickly brought Alex outside the city, which made Alex very confused.

"What are we doing on the eastern side of the city? We should go to the western side. That is where we can go towards the next city," Alex said.

"Who said we're going towards any city?" Shen Jing asked with a smiling face.

"Eh? If we're not going to a city, then where are we going?" Alex asked.

Shen Jing looked at Alex and asked, "Remember a few days ago when I told you to stop focusing on getting strong, and just focus on getting your arm back?"

Alex looked at him with a confused look but nodded. "Yes, although I don't understand why you would want me to stop becoming strong," Alex said.

"I never said that you should stop becoming strong. I only said that you should stop focusing on it," Shen Jing said.

"Huh?" Alex was still confused.

"That was because I was going to focus on making you strong. And today, I've found the place where I can make you strong," Shen Jing said.

"Oh," Alex's confusion still remained, but curiosity took over his emotion. "Where are we going?" he asked.

"That's a secret for now," Shen Jing said. "Pearl, come out."

Pearl poked his head out of Alex's robe and meowed with his tiny little mouth. Then, without any hesitation, he pushed his little legs on Alex's chest and shot out of the robes, before arriving at Shen Jing's palm.

Alex couldn't help but wonder why Pearl so easily accepted Shen Jing's every word. He had said that Shen Jing was friendly, but was he being truthful?

Or maybe Shen Jing had used some sort of technique on him. Or maybe, Shen Jing had a body constitution that made one friendly towards him, but it didn't work on Alex because of his body constitution.

Either way, Alex didn't fully believe that Pearl was being entirely truthful. There had to be something here that Pearl wasn't able to understand.

Shen Jing then put Pearl inside his own robes and grabbed Alex by his. Then, he shot off.

The speed. Holy shit, the speed.

That was all Alex could think off when he felt his body rip the air apart him.

Immediately, he used his movement technique to clear the friction around his body, but the speed was so fast that his own Qi wasn't keeping up with all the friction that was being removed.

If Alex didn't have extra-wide meridians at the moment to pump out enough Qi, he was sure the air would rip his body apart.
