Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 273: Not Hungry

Slowly, over the course of the, he managed to finally get used to it. Now if he went down to the streets, he would still be bombarded with the same amount of information, but his mind was capable of ignoring all other information except for the relevant ones.

He was still getting the same amounts of information, he was only processing it differently.

As such, he could now have the Focus mode turned on 24/7 and not worry about it. As a result, his overall senses had gotten a lot more acute.

Alex went back into the hotel and kept on practicing it more until he and Wan Li were called for the meeting in Ma Rong\'s room once more.

"Good job guys. You really did great in today\'s competition as well. If we can keep this up for a few more matches, we will definitely enter the 1st grade," Ma Rong said, leading to a bunch of people clapping.

"You three did a great job today, so for tomorrow\'s competition, you guys can rest if you want to. You can take part in Wednesday\'s competition for the Learning theme," Ma Rong said.

"Sect Leader, I am not really that good at learning immediately so I think I will take part in tomorrow\'s match. I can make a really strong pill for sure," Wan Li said from the side.

"Hmm, sure. So, Meimei and Fanfan will skip tomorrow to take part in Wednesday\'s competition," Ma Rong said.

Both the girls nodded in agreement.

"Alright, that settles it then. For tomorrow\'s competition, we will have Wan Li, Yu Ming and one of you guys take place. Anyone of you wants to?" Ma Rong asked. A few raised their hands, and Ma Rong chose a girl who was 9th in the Alchemy Achievement ranking in the sect.

"We are 146 points away, so I need the rest of you to join random competitions tomorrow. Even if you don\'t get in the top 10, getting a few points here and there will be a lot of help," Ma Rong said.

Everyone nodded, and then they were dismissed.

Alex had seen Tiger sect\'s point gathering system today. They had a lot of disciples that took part in every competition and got points here and there.

Hong Wu Sect\'s disciples weren\'t that broadly gifted, so they couldn\'t take part in every competition they came across. Still, Ma Rong seemed to be going for that approach just in case.

\'If the disciples can take part in a few non-alchemy competitions and take the load off our back, that would be a lot of help,\' Alex thought.

Everyone returned back to their own room and started cultivating.

Alex too went back to his room and decided to log out. He opened his eyes and instinctively reached for the helmet, but stopped when he realized his arms couldn\'t come to his head.

\'Oh yeah, capsule,\' he thought and instead pushed open the lid on top. The door opened and Alex finally walked out.

He looked at the time and realized that it was 7 pm. It had been about 7 hours since he had eaten anything, and yet he was nowhere near hungry.

\'Damn, this is really good. I can\'t feel like I lost energy while in the game at all,\' he thought. Normally, when he got out of the game, he would either feel hungry or would need to go to the bathroom. But now, he could feel neither.

This was a truly advanced technology that he didn\'t dare try to understand.

Alex went to the bathroom to freshen up a bit and then went to the kitchen. Hannah was already there with little food on her plate.

"Get yourself some food," she said and continued eating.

Alex went ahead and got himself a load of food but realized that he wasn\'t feeling hungry at all. \'Is this the aftereffect of the capsule usage?\' he wondered and served himself very little.

It took him no time to finish eating the food, but not before Hannah was done with hers. They washed the dishes together and Alex finally returned back to the game.

He went back to the capsule and opened the lid before getting back into it. He laid inside and closed his eyes and before he knew it, he was logged back in.

Logging in this time was very smooth compared to the last two. While he was bombarded with the different enhanced senses, he was already used to them and could thus handle himself better.

He looked around and saw that Wan Li was already focused back on his books. Alex thought about asking for something to read but decided against it. Using other people\'s research to learn didn\'t seem like a good idea on a topic as experimental as this.

Who knew, maybe he could come up with different answers, and reading Wan Li\'s notes would only stop him from taking a different approach with his experiments.

Instead, he decided to simply cultivate and prepare for tomorrow\'s competition. Tomorrow was the Perfect themed competition. Perhaps the most important one of all.

So, he decided to waste no time. He called out Pearl and kept him in his robes. With a single word, Pearl started cultivating and numerous cuts appeared along Alex\'s body.

It hurt a lot more than yesterday. \'Is it because the cuts are more severe or because of my new senses?\' Alex wondered, but couldn\'t come up with an answer.

He then took out the Spirit Cleansing Lily. It hadn\'t worked the last few times, but he wasn\'t going to give up now. As such, he held the flower and slowly started cultivating.

And before he knew it, he was deep asleep.
