Chapter 13 Alchemy
Please vote with power stones. It supports me a lot, and if I get a hundred power stones by the end of the week, then I will release five extra chapters
"There were at least a hundred others in the same training ground who saw that you were attempting to punch me when my back was turned at you. If that is not considered a sneak attack, then I wonder what is. You know that you were in the wrong and that you lost against me. It just shows that you are a useless idiot who cannot even win against a person who never cultivated. That is all that it shows. Stop trying to cover that." I said coldly. For a person like this, I didn't need to mince words even one bit.
Everyone else on the table gasped. They all looked at Liu Kun, waiting to see what he would say in return, but how could he retort to the truth? He stammered but was unable to say anything at all. I smiled faintly and sat down at the table. There was already food served on my plate, and I started eating.
"Feng'er, is what he said true? Did you two fight? You should stay out of these fights. They are not for you. You need to start studying and become a scholar." my mother whispered to me.
"A scholar? There were scholars in this world too? But I had no intention of becoming a scholar. Being a scholar was the worst fate that the world could give me. Putting me in such a fantasy world and then making me read books about literature? Isn't that too cruel?" I thought immediately. But I could not refuse my mother's words. She did not know that I could cultivate, and father asked me to keep this a secret.
I nodded and continued eating. The food was absolutely delicious, and everything else that I had eaten in the previous life was trash compared to this. The huge jump from food pills to such extravagance was too much for my stomach to handle. It started turning a little. I stuffed myself, and I got up.
"Mother, I need to walk a little, as I feel a little uneasy. I will go to the city, and take a look at what has changed since last I disappeared." I said silently so that only she could hear it. I did not want to get in any trouble again.
"Go ahead. If you want, I will send my brother. The last time you were outside, someone attacked you, right? This time, he will be there to protect you." she smiled.
"I also intended to go into the city with Uncle Du's help. I will go to the Du Family and request his presence." I said and left the building.
The guards at the exit of the family manor looked at me and snickered. They still thought of me as the old Liu Feng, and they just let me pass. But I could still hear them talking behind my back.
"What do you think he will do this time? Go to some brothel? That is all that he does right?" one guard told the other.
"A brothel? No wonder everyone hates this guy. He wasted his life like this. Damn it. This is a reputation that I cannot let go." I sighed. I continued walking past the bustling roads. A lot of things caught my eye, and luckily, I had a little money that mother gave me yesterday when the day ended.
I went up to a shop and purchased a hat. A hat to cover my face so that I didn't need to incur the heckling of the crowd wherever I went. The hat covered my face quite well, and I looked very mysterious with it. I even bought a coat to go along with it, and I looked like an assassin, just trying to blend in.
"System. Are there any ways that I can use the system to earn money? I really want to earn some money." I asked the system.
"Host can learn the basic alchemy guide, available to purchase at a discount. 8 skill points." the system pinged.
"8 skill points? Screw the discount. You just want me to give you everything that I have." I protested.
"Alchemy is a very respectable profession, and it will give a lot of money. Entry level alchemists earn close to 100 gold every month, and higher level alchemists earn exponents of that. Alchemy will also help increase cultivation. Buying the skill book will give the user a set of introductory materials, including the furnace and a set of materials, and can be stored within the system." the system said.
"What are you trying to do? Are you forcing me to buy this? I cannot believe that I can get this much for just 8 skill points. Buy the whole package." I said. With all the add ins, this was something that I could not pass by.
"Basic Alchemist Guide purchased. Please head over to an empty area where there is silence so that Host can start alchemy." the system said.
"You want me to do this now?"
Ping!

I looked at this with shock.
"You have got to be kidding me. This is slavery. I just came outside for fun, and now you want me to start working?"
I looked for an inn to stay at. I did not want to do this at the Liu Family manor, where it would be quite obvious what I was doing. I went into the room after paying for a few nights, and closed the door. I took off my hat and cloak and sat down.
"Fine. I am ready. Deploy the set of introductory materials." I said.
A black pot appeared in front of me, and a fire lit beneath it. For some reason, the fire did not even damage the floor beneath it. It looked like another feature of the system.
"Follow the instructions given."
Hundreds of pictures and methods of making a pill flooded into my mind. Just like last time, a silhouette also appeared, and he was sitting just the way that I was. His hand was on the furnace this time. I did the same.
I could see that the silhouette had a few shining points inside his body, and there was a stream of the light going into the furnace. I assumed this to be Qi, so I tried my best to emulate the same. I tried moving Qi into the furnace. At first, nothing happened, but then, slowly, it started coursing through my body and moved from my finger tips to the furnace.
