Gate of Immortality

Chapter 237: Seeking Path Through Alchemy

Yang Shi smiled as his eyes flashed with azure light. A burst of flame appeared on his palms as he struck his palm to the empty air.

*BOOM*

The flames exploded as a Jiang Lin blocked it. She looked at Yang Shi with astonishment as she backed away.

" Hoh! Young noble really broke my concealment. But it won't be this easy next time." Jiang Lin waved her hands as two shadowy hands appeared out of thin air. 

" Ghostly Demon Claw!"

" Fiery Sword Burst!" 

Yang Shi's spirit flame blazed as it condensed into flaming swords. The condensed sword looked extremely refined. The blade, the handle, every pattern was distinct and life-like.

" Perfect spiritual condensation?!" Jiang Lin blurted out. 

The flaming swords of Yang Shi already slashed at the Ghostly claws of Jiang Link. Black smoke oozed from the shadowy hands as they violently collided.

Yang Shi's flaming sword was condensed from his Spirit flame, so it was overbearing. After the first clash, Jiang Lin already retracted her technique, so Yang Shi could only stop there.

Cultivators can convert spiritual qi into any kind of element in any kind of shape. There are also various techniques that helps one to condense things out of elements. But there are vast differences between the stage of spiritual qi condensation.

For example, someone can condense a bird from flames. When someone has low proficiency, they can only condense something which only looks like bird, which have two wings and a beak.

  As someone's control over spiritual qi and elemental qi increases, the bird also becomes more and more detailed.

At the perfect stage, the fire bird will have distinct feathers, clear eyes, every detail a real bird could have. Achieving the perfect stage is very difficult it required mastery in controlling spiritual qi.

" I never thought brother Yang has already mastered the perfect spiritual condensation." Jiang Lin pouted.

" Haha, Sister Jiang doesn't know about many things. Only if I had time, we could have sat together and chat heartily." Yang Shi chuckled. 

" But don't worry, I will be sure to give Lady Jiang a good discount." He added.

The Great YangSolar Flame Art is a Heaven grade technique. Moreover, with the Crimson Lily as his Spirit flame, flame controlling is an easy matter for him.

"  I should be going then. I still have to visit a lot of places." Yang Shi laughed as he turned to leave.

" This armor looks very good. Can I touch it?" Jiang Lin focused her looks on the armor Feng Xiao was holding.

" Hell no! This is my precious baby!" Feng Xiao shouted as he back away like a startled cat.

" It's not like I am stealing it?" Jiang Lin pouted. " That friend of yours is surely unusual. I didn't expect him to see through my concealing ability. It seems he also practice some powerful eyes technique." Jiang Lin probed.

" I know. I wanted to fight that guy myself, but he is way too slippery." Feng Xiao shook his head.

" Interesting." Jiang Lin smiled as she also left.

" Quasi True grade artifacts are surely in demand. Rarer than Spirit grade, affordable than True grade, Perfect for me." Yang Shi muttered as he left hastily.

" I should start preparing for making True grade weapons and elixirs. Damn, I feel I am rushing things." Yang Shi sighed. " Only if I reached Violet Palace Expansion realm."

Yang Shi went back to Mo clan manor. But he found that Bai Ruxue and Jin Yu went outside, so he just rested a bit.

  But Mo Yi gave him a piece of good news, saying that the process of the new store will be finished by tomorrow.

" Really? That's pretty fast." Yang Shi was pleasantly surprised.

" That's right. But there is a small problem." Mo Yi pressed his forehead, " The residence we are giving to you was a restaurant previously. Since it will belong to you in the future, we are firing off the restaurant employees. But now, they are protesting."

" Well?" Yang Shi also found it amusing. " Just give me the address. I will try to talk with them myself. I also want to see my new place." Yang Shi chuckled.

" Sure." Mo Yi nodded.

" Since it's a restaurant, I will try their cuisine. Who knows, I may not fire them." Yang Shi laughed.

" Well, I don't think you should hope much. If their cuisine was good, we wouldn't have sold the restaurant to you." Mo Yi smirked.

" Time will tell." Yang Shi laughed.

In his mind, he already made plans about expanding his business in Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. In the first phase, he thought to open a store to sell his forged equipment. 

After some time, when he will have enough experience in elixir brewing, he will start to sell elixirs. Now, this restaurant might be a cherry on top.

" One can't have enough money for sure. Man's greed is truly an endless pit." Yang Shi clicked his tongue.

" For now, I should be heading to the Longevity Hall." Yang Shi stood up as he was out again.

The reason he was going there was to seek some knowledge and enlightenment after watching live alchemy. He was still stuck in his elixir brewing, so he needed to achieve a breakthrough as fast as possible.

" My flames are already contaminated with Yang and Metal attribute energy. It is completely different from a flame that is used for alchemy. I need to refine Wood Spirit Seal faster."

Yang Shi thought about the Heat of Forest he have and felt he needed to hurry. " I remember like the Blazing Flame Hall in Golden Fire Tower, there must be something similar in Longevity Hall as well. I can use that place to condense the Wood Spirit Seal."

Yang Shi swiftly reached the Longevity Hall where he saw Cheng Yu sitting on his desk.

" Aha, Isn't it's Young noble Yang? Are you here to purchase herbs again?" Cheng Yu smiled politely.

" Not really. I wish to join a live alchemy teaching class." Yang Shi said.

" Eh? You wish to learn alchemy?" Cheng Yu asked in confusion.

" I just want to watch for fun, ok?" Yang Shi said annoyingly.

" Then, You need to pay fifty credit points per hour." Cheng Yu smiled brightly.

" Credit points? Damn, How can I get credit points here?" Yang Shi scratched his head. He suddenly thought something as he asked, " I have lots of credit points in Golden Fire Tower. Can I use them here?" Yang Shi asked.

  " Nope." Cheng Yu shook his head. " You can easily gain some credit points by doing missions here. You can also borrow others' points as well." He added.

" Really? How about it, Why don't you send me a hundred points? And this mid tier Spirit grade sword will be yours." Yang Shi took out a random sword from his ring and gave it to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu's eyes sparkled as he looked at the sword.

" Deal!" He nodded immediately.

" Since you don't have the badge of alchemists, I will write a receipt for you. After deducting fifty points, you have fifty points remaining." Cheng Yu said.

But as they were talking, a luxurious carriage stopped outside of the Longevity Hall. Suddenly people swarmed around the entrance as a beautiful figure came out from the carriage.

" Flower Princess Hua is coming here to take the Alchemy exam!" Someone shouted.

" Eh? Such a coincidence!" Yang Shi chuckled as he looked at the crowd.

" I guess, I have already chosen which person to see to learn pill concoction."
