Chapter 198: Simulation Room

198 Simulation Room

In Leoz's report, Leoz said there was a movement in the neighboring kingdom, which was the Zhou Kingdom. Because of his capability wasn't that good as a spy, this was all the thing he can get after these few months. Leoz asked whether he will stay in Thiveapia Kingdom or went to the Zhou Kingdom to observe the situation.

Alex pondered a bit, he decided to see the movement in the Zhou Kingdom. So, he asked Anna to tell Leoz about it. He asked Leoz to gather information about Zhou Kingdom, like the information about Thiveapia Kingdom. Alex was wondering what kind of movement was that. Would there be a war soon? That would be good, though. He only needs to take one side and killed the enemy soldiers. He intended to level up the Spirits when that happened. Hopefully, raising them to Grandmaster Level or level 21.

The next day, Charya came to his house directly. Since he already knew she would come today. Alex waited for her on the field. Charya came with a Space Ring and then gave it to Alex.

"Haha, I'm able to get a four hundred thousand Spirit Stones for you. It was almost the whole saving of that old man. Haha, I'm satisfied by my power" Charya said happily.

Alex was surprised, The sect master only had four hundred thousand Spirit Stones? He can get them easily by just selling his pills. He once again, didn't know how abrupt his 'Simulation Room' is. For example, A normal alchemist can get around a hundred or two hundred Spirit Stones for a good alchemist from Perfect Fire Spirit Pill. They had to bear the cost of ingredients, and most of their pills won't be a perfect purity pill. They also need to save up for practicing another pill. That's why there were only around a hundred or two hundred Spirit Stones for an alchemist. Let alone the sect master who wasn't an alchemist.

But Alex also didn't know because of his Pure Fire Element, he would need a several times amount of Spirit Stones more than an ordinary Martial Artist to breakthrough from one stage to another. It can be said, his abrupt way of earning balanced his extraordinary spending.

Charya left happily after giving the bounty to Alex. After all, she can be this happy because the sect master owed Alex a reward. Alex didn't know why Charya was happy after emptying the pocket of the sect master. But Alex didn't care about that as long as he can get the Spirit Stones. He went back to cultivate.

With those Spirit Stones, he should be able to cultivate easily for two months, he didn't need to fear Sherry will eat those Spirit Stones. He didn't use the Spirit Stones first, he felt he was on the verge of a breakthrough. For this breakthrough, Alex was planning to use his cultivation technique.

He had filled those empty spaces in his cultivation from 1-Star Martial Master Stage to 5-Star Martial Master Stage, he only needs some last sprint to breakthrough to 6-Star Martial Master. Finally, after three days, he had broken through to 6-Star. It took him longer than he expected. But all in all, he should be able to breakthrough to 7-Star Martial Master within a month.

After three weeks of bitter cultivation inside the Array, Alex finally broke through to 7-Star Martial Master Stage. Although Alex had reached 7-Star Martial Master Stage, he didn't immediately go to Putri and asked for a mission. He wanted to prepare himself first. He was planning to practice his Array and Alchemy for the rest of his time.

He practiced his Array Mastery first. After all, Array was the foundation for his Alchemy's Simulation Room. He practiced seven arrays for a month. The first Array he practiced was a Rank 3 Illusion Array, called Silk Dream Array. It was also the foundation of his Simulation Room. And the other reason why he chose an illusion Array was so he can experience it himself. He needs to get used to illusion if he wanted to break free from an illusion. He needs to know in and out of the illusion Array.

The second Array he practiced was a defense type barrier Array, called Tortoise Shell Array. The array can erect a barrier strong enough to defend a Martial Grandmaster. But because of his low cultivation, this array can only block a full attack from 1-Star Martial Grandmaster, but that was enough for him at the moment. There were also some practical use depending on how he used it, but that was for later.

The Third Array, he practiced a Binding Array, called Wistful Shackle Array. When he used this array, a few whips like light rose from the array. Although it looked like a weak whip, it was not. When he tried the strength of the whip, he knew the whip was far stronger than the binding chain array he used at the battle with Xian Tao, where Alex supported Leoz with his Array.

The Fourth Array was Rank 3 Gathering Array, He practiced this at fourth was because Sherry kept nagging him to make a stronger Gathering Array. Alex agreed and made it for her and for himself for later use. Since they were going to a mission, Alex needs to prepare as much as possible, Sherry was included in it.

The Fifth Array was his original Simulation Room. It was based on Silk Dream Illusion Array, but after some tweaking with his Space Element. He can make Rank 3 Simulation Room. It can make an illusion of Rank 3 Medicinal Ingredients according to his knowledge. There is another reason why he practiced this array on fifth. The last two arrays were Attack Type Arrays. He can't practice it in an open space since others might notice it, especially Song Yu, who had an exceptional hearing. Alex used a month to practice these five arrays.

Others might doubt it because the speed of his learning was too fast. But it was only possible because of Maxwell's book. In his book, there were many arrays for rank 3 Arrays. He also wrote about his personal opinion along with his experiences, it made Alex's progress very fast. In his book, only Rank 8 Arrays were a bit vague. From the look of it, Maxwell was a pinnacle Rank 8 Array Masters before he died. He wrote all of his knowledge in this book before he restarted his journey and reached godhood. All of the arrays he had used were from this book, except his original Simulation Room.

After he made the Simulation Room, he immediately entered the Array. He practiced two attack type Arrays. One was a Fire based type attack array, it can channel his own Fire to use this array. It was called Fire Strings. It can make numerous threads, the threads itself were already strong, and with his Fire, it became even stronger.

The second attack type was sound based attack. It created a high pitch sound that had the power to disrupt the flow of Spiritual Energy. It was useful for breaking an Enemy's Strong Attack. Even in Maxwell's book, he wrote this array as a must learn array. Alex was surprised to see that, so because it piqued his interest, he learned it.

He took another three weeks just to get used to those seven arrays. He only got two weeks or so time left before the promised time. He finally moved to improve his Alchemy. He was pondering which pills he needs to practice first. He had four options for his first pills. Hard Bone Pill, Tempered Muscle Pill, Soul Refining Pill, and Rank 3 Detoxification Pill. Hard Bone Pill was the same as his Bone Refining Pill he made back in Acacia Kingdom, but the effect can't be compared to Hard Bone Pill, it was very effective.

Tempered Muscle Pill was the same as Muscle Refining Pill but higher. Refining his muscle and giving a hundred bulls strength. One person can eat two in their whole life. As for Soul Refining Pill, it can refine one's soul and increased their mental energy, for normal Martial Artists, it can also strengthen their soul so they can fend an illusion faster. It was a must for Alchemist or Array Master to take this pill. And as for the last, like its name, it can detoxify Grandmaster Stage poison or below.

Detoxification Pill was a mid 3rd Rank Pill, along with Hard Bone Pill. As for Tempered Muscle Pill and Soul Refining Pill were low 3rd Rank Pill. Because of their effect, Alex thought of refining Soul Refining Pill first for his own use. After that, he will refine the Tempered Muscle Pill since it should be popular in the market.

He entered the Simulation Room, he saw six medicinal ingredients along with his furnace in front of him. A red fruit close to an apple, and one purple fruit close to a grape just slightly bigger. They were Ivory Fruit and Swift Fruit, respectively. The third ingredient was the root called Melody Root, which stemmed from Melody Tree. The fourth and fifth Ingredients were Jade Grass and Mandala Flower. As for the last ingredients was Grandmaster Stage monster core.

Since this was only an illusion and for practice purposes, he let out his Pure Fire to understand each of the ingredients better before moving to his normal Fire. He warmed his Alchemy Furnace.

After the furnace gathered enough heat, Alex waved his hands, and surprisingly, five ingredients flew to the cauldron. After receiving the mental energy from the Heavenly Sword Sect's soul, Alex's mental energy became far higher than his previous one. This time, he can refine five ingredients simultaneously, maybe after he ate Soul Refining Pill, he can refine six ingredients simultaneously.

The Ivory Fruit and Swift Fruit was burned by a Pure Fire, but there was nothing visible to see before suddenly a drop of liquid seeped out from the fruit. It was two colorless liquid. Those droplets were the essence of Ivory Fruit and Swift Fruit. After Alex took its essence, those two fruits quickly withered away. Alex tossed the fruits away and continued purging the impurities from the droplets.

At the same time, he refined the other three ingredients. There was no visible change that can be seen from the surface for Jade Grass and Melody Root. As for Mandala Flower, Alex took its petals, the flower had five petals, After he took the petals and tossed the rest of the flower away, he immediately raised his flame.

The petals were burned by a dense flame, those petals slowly became charred. Black spots appeared here and there before each petals became black like charcoal. Alex then let his Spiritual Energy to crack those black petals. As it started to crack, the petals' body suddenly turned to dust, leaving only a very small droplet. Alex combined all the droplets from each petal to one, making a bigger droplet.

After purging the impurities from each ingredient and finished the refinement. Alex finally moved to the next step, the monster core. Alex stored each of the refined ingredients inside his flame and tossed the monster core inside the furnace. Alex used his flame to smooth the energy from the monster core so it can help the fusing process. He felt the energy fought back against his flame, it was like a ferocious beast, trying to kill him.

Alex raised his flame even further to fight the beast back. After a few more minutes, Alex finally finished refining the monster's core. He let out a breath of relief. Then he tossed all of the refined ingredients inside the cauldron and let them fuse. The process went smoothly before he felt something wrong in the process. Suddenly, the energy went out of control. Alex frowned, he raised the flame even more to suppress the berserk energy. But suddenly he felt something dangerous, he felt something was trying to bite him. He was bewildered by the sudden attack. It seems, he hadn't finished in killing the whole energy or the consciousness of the beast inside the monster core. He thought he had refined it all, but never thought it was hiding from him until the last moment. The energy became uncontrollable before suddenly, the furnace exploded in front of him.

He failed. He was bailed out of the illusion. He opened his eyes as he was back in the real world. There were six medicinal ingredients along with an Alchemy Furnace. They were precisely the ingredients that he recreated inside the array. That exploded furnace might injure him in the real world, but luckily he was inside the Simulation Room.

He filled the array with the Spirit Stones again. Reflecting on his mistakes, he activated the array again and came inside the Simulation Room. Because all of it happened inside the simulation room, he can't tire his body inside an illusion. As long as he had the willpower to continue, he can try again and again tirelessly without suffering the consequences such as the cost of medicinal ingredients, injury, etc. His Simulation Room was that OP.

At his second try, he managed to suppress the monster's energy completely. Still, because the berserk came once more, he only made a low purity Soul Refining Pill. It can be said, it was also a failure. Alex tried it again and again like a robot.

He can be reckless inside the Simulation Room, experimenting one thing after another so he can make a perfect purity Soul Refining Pill.

Finally after ten days,

"Formed!"

A purple pill slowly formed inside the furnace. After it successfully formed, Alex took out the purple pill without any blemish. "Haha, finally, I only failed once in thirty tries. And I failed to make two perfect purity pills, but they still have a purity above ninety percent. It should be enough for now. I should master the Tempered Muscle Pill before leaving."
