Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Chapter 118 He Is In The Vicinity

I had the time, so I took the liberty of using mind eye on him the moment I laid eyes on him. This man, Hulong Tian, was in the same realm that I was. He couldn't be stronger than me.

After the seclusion, and getting acquainted with the power of Dao, I just knew that I was so much stronger than before. One thing was set in stone. The world that I had seen before and the world that I was yet to see that had masters of Dao within them were completely different.

Even with the little that I knew about what Dao was, I could apply it to my attacks, and they were so much stronger. Just stronger.

"I am afraid that is no longer necessary. I shall escort you to the building myself, disciples of the esteemed Sky Heavens sect." the person who had come to intervene, intervened.

I glanced at him and nodded.

"I shall respect the Pill Tower, not the arrogant idiot who dares think that the Sky Heavens sect is something to scoff at. I hope that the tower does not wish to send the wrong message." I said.

The expression of the man darkened.

"I know that the way that this young master has addressed you was wrong, but please, do not misquote words. We have nothing but awe and respect for the sect. But do not mistake it for subordination. The pill tower bowes down to no one." he said with a menacing tone.

"We are here to help the Pill Tower with a mission. Why is it that we are out here fighting? Let us go in, and we will get started with our mission." Cai Lien said, trying to desperately salvage this situation.

"The young lady is right." the man nodded and pointed the way forward.

We skipped ahead of the huge line and saw that there seemed to be a separate entrance through all this.

"Why are there two entrances? Is this one for the VIPs?" I asked.

"Of course not. The VIPs are allowed to contact the alchemists directly. That line is for those who wish to purchase spirit pills. Unfortunately, the number of alchemists in this world is dwindling, while demand remains unbounded." the man shook his head.

"Mind eye." I muttered.

"Level - 9

Name - Hulong Kin

Cultivation - Foundation Establishment Stage 7th layer"

"He seems to be in the same family as the man who was serving that young master. And why is someone who is guarding a place this important, so weak? The city lord's mansion has people in the Core Formation Stage just to be regular guards." I wondered.

"Now then, shall we go to the Pill Tower part of the Pill Tower? People mistake it to be the shop that we set up front, but they are far from right. We just don't deign to correct them. We are also the only place an alchemist can become a certified alchemist." Hulong Kin said with a proud face.

"There is a test to become an Alchemist? Is there a requirement? Can anyone take this test?" I asked.

"Of course. But for outsiders, there is a hundred thousand spirit coin fee to take the test." Hulong Kin said.

"Hmmm.... I should take the test sooner or later. If I have that certification, then I can show that I am an alchemist, and then I can try and get proper valid proof to show everyone." I thought to myself as we kept walking.

This was obviously not what we came for.

"Are you thinking about taking the test? Are you sure about it?" Cai Lien leaned in as she whispered.

"Why? What is wrong with that?" I asked.

"What is wrong? You are in the martial part of the sect. The sect will force you to move to the alchemy faction if they find out about your talent. You clearly want to stay focused on the martial way." she said.

"Wow. Thanks for your concern. But I have it figured out. The one person who needs to know that I am an alchemist, knows. So no one in the sect can force me to become an alchemist. But there is one thing that I need to know about the pill tower." I asked.

"What is it?"

"The people here. Some place like the Pill Tower should have so many big backers. They sell Pills, don't they? There should be so many people flocking here just to work for them. Why are the guards so weak then? And why do they need people like us from the sect?"

"How do you not know this? This is stuff that everyone teaches you as a kid!" she exclaimed.

"Well, I was not very attentive as a kid." I scratched my back.

"The imperial family does not want a power stronger than it inside the kingdom. That is why they forced the Pill Tower to agree that they would never have someone stronger than the Core Formation Realm, and something like that. No one knows the specifics, but one thing is for sure. There is still going to be one person in there who can help out the tower in case of an actual emergency." she said with a solemn tone.

"Okay then. We have to go up now. I hope that you are okay with a teleportation array? We would not want to make the guest use stairs now, would we?" Hulong Kin said.

"We will do what you want. Just take us where we need to take us." I waved my hand.

He guided us to this array and placed what seemed to be a shiny stone on it. I saw the eyes of Cai Lien light up the moment that she laid eyes on it. It was clear that it was precious.

But the light within the stone disappeared, and so did the people around us.

We were teleported to another floor. It was not nearly as crowded as the previous one.

Ping!
