"En!" Alex only nodded his head. He chose not to say anything and make the atmosphere more awkward. "How many days I took to refine this pill?"
"You are two days away from recruitment." Anna answered him, her face is still blushing madly. Fortunately, she didn't stutter.
"I see, there are still two days..." Alex looks at the dark sky. That means tomorrow is the last day. But now he didn't know what to do since even if he wanted to eat another Fire Spirit Pill, he would only waste it.
"How about Leoz's condition?"
"Leoz main focus is to level up for now, he said. He wanted to reach Grandmaster Stage as soon as possible first before he started gathering information. He is currently killing monsters in Forest nearby. He has seen a few Heavenly Sword Sect outer disciple in the forest, but he still wasn't spotted by them."
Alex pondered for a moment, "Hmm, tell him that I will leave it to his discretion. After that, I wanted him to enter towns, if possible, enter a capital city. According to Kenshin's Map that he has shown me in Himura House. This area is closer to Thiveapia Kingdom than to Limewatch Town's protector, Hazel Kingdom. Try to infiltrate there and learn about their power level. If there is something bad happen to him, immediately recall him to the card."
"Understood" Anna nodded. Then she asked, "What are you going to do now, Young Master."
"Hmm... we still have one and a half days after all. I will try to cultivate with Spirit Stones. I don't know how fast my absorbing speed, so I better test it now." Alex said."That's right. Have you rest, Anna?"
"Me? No, I don't need rest" She replied hurriedly. But she soon regretted, 'Why I didn't say I haven't had any rest. That way, I can lay in the Young Master bed...Uhehe...'
(AN: She wasn't shy, but she is a 'closet')
Alex was obviously didn't know what hers thought, "You should rest for a bit. I will try refining the energy from Spirit Stones."
Anna's eyes brightened, "Then excuse me."
Alex sat on the edge of the bed while Anna took the rest. She looked at her Young Master back, smiling.
Alex took out a Spirit Stones from his Space Ring. He felt the energy inside of it, he tried to absorb the energy. The absorption is a bit too slow. He used an hour just to absorb ten Spirit Stones. He used a total of a hundred and twenty Spirit Stones or twelve hours long to absorb their energy. Though he didn't advance a star again, he felt that if he continues consuming the Spirit Stones, he will have a breakthrough again. But he still needs to be careful of his expense.
Alex looked at the outside. There is a very long line of people on the outside, Alex was confused about what that line for. But he remembered that Elder Conn said with the recruitment. Since we are going to test and with that many people. There's no way to handle the registration on the same day. And the token let them skip this long line. After he realized what the disturbance is, He didn't have the mood to continue.
He used the rest of his day to practice his 'Sanguin Sword Art'. This is the only art he has but still hasn't mastered it yet.
...
A few days ago,
In Heavenly Sword Sect, Seventh Peak.
Elder Conn just came back from his journey. He searched for his student in her mansion, but she was nowhere to be seen. He decided to report to the Sect Master about Alex's existence for now. He went to the small island in the center of Peaks formation.
The sect master is an Old man with short silver hair that hangs over his aging but cheerful face. A scar stretching from the bottom of his right cheek, first running toward his thin lips and ending above his right eyes, leaves an impression of a brave. There's something intriguing about him, perhaps it's his warmth, or perhaps it's his aura. But nonetheless, people feel to try and support him.
"Conn huh... You are the third one to come back from the expedition. How is the result? Did you find any good seedling?"
"Yes, Sect Master. I recruited three disciples for the sect this time. The first one is...good enough. The second one talent is very high, and he even used his opponent to help him breakthrough and become 2-Star Martial Master in match."
"Oh..." Sect Master got interested in it.
"Yes. In the next match, he used his opponent again and condensed his sword intent and become a Sword Master."
"How old is he?"
"He is twenty years old."
"But, isn't it normal for a twenty years old youth to be like that. Though it might be a bit abnormal to become a Sword Master, it is normal for him to become a 2-Star Martial Master."
"That is the exact reason that confused me. I felt that he is an enigma. I tried to search for his information about him for a bit. I found that he used a new kind of sword called 'Katana'. After that, he advances by leap and bound. Before that, he was considered useless. Even he becomes 1-Star Martial Master, according to the information, he was defeated pretty easily by a few people in Qi Manipulation Stage, and he achieved it for only a few days. That's why, I'm afraid, after getting to this sect, he will advance by leap and bound, and his achievement will be boundless." Conn said.
The sect master suddenly frowned, "Hmm, what are you going to do?"
"I'm planning to take him as my disciple first" Conn said in a meaningful way.
The sect master seems to notice his intent. "All right. I will try to observe him. If he becomes Martial Grandmaster and his talent is as you say. I will try to make him as my disciple."
"This one thank Sect Master on behalf of him" Conn thanked him, there is another reason why Conn explains Kenshin in an exaggerated way. It is because of his connection with Alex.
"How about the third one?" The sect master asked. Since the second one is very talented, the third one must be a genius too, according to his way of speaking.
"The third one..." Conn a bit hesitated to say it.
"Why? Is there any problem with the third one?" He frowned.
"I can't say much due to the Heavenly Oath. I can only say that he is a peerless genius, and his identity is a bit troublesome" Conn said.
"What do you mean? Heavenly Oath?" He was very confused as to why Conn made a Heavenly Oath, and it is for a young disciple.
"I can only say that the one in his back can wipe Heavenly Sword Sect clean easily."
The sect master eyebrows furrowed. "Then, why does he join the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
"He said that the one in his back knows someone from our sect. Then he leaves him on our care so he can grow step by step. He also said that he didn't need a Master or a Teacher."
"Someone? who?"
"I don't know" Conn shakes his head helplessly.
"..." There is not enough information for the time being. Even he, the sect master, was clueless for this.
"What are you going to do with the boy?"
"Since he is also our sect disciple. I'm going to partner him up with my disciple according to our tradition."
"Oh, so that's what you are planning. It is indeed not a master nor a teacher. It's a mentor. According to our tradition, Inner disciple can become a mentor for two outer disciples. Though it was not obligatory, its purpose was to speed up the process of talented outer disciple to become stronger and become another inner disciple."
"Well, it will be best if he can fall in love with her since they will be going to be in the same place for quite a while." Conn grinned slyly.
"Oh, that's what you mean." The sect master understood his attention. If Alex can also marry the people of the sect, the sect might even get the help of such an expert "But are you sure that he has such a backer?"
"I don't know about it, So I request Sect Master to try searching for his information. After all, if I'm the one who searches his information. I'm afraid that he will know about it" Conn said.
"Umu" The sect master nodded.
"But, even if he didn't have any backer like that. His talent alone is enough to cover that."
"What about his talent?"
"I can't say" Conn shook his head.
"Heavenly Oath?" asked the sect master while looking at Conn, who nodded his head. "I see, I will check him in the test. For now, you can proceed with your plan. You can protect him from the shadow for the time being"
"Understood. Then, I will excuse myself" Conn left the room. Though his plan seems perfect. There is still a miscalculation on his side...not in Alex but on his disciple side.
...
Conn went back to his dwelling and found that his disciple has come back. He decided to visit her. She has long blue hair, slender eyebrows, shapely figure, glossy skin. This is the woman that Alex met back in the Alchemist Guild.
"Master! You have finally come back, I really miss you."
"Haha, Have you been mischievous these days?"
"No way! That's right. Master should be recruiting new disciples from my town, right?"
"That's right. And the one you called Younger Brother, Himura Kenshin, is it? I also brought him here" Conn said.
"What? Is that so? I thought that I need to send the pill I bought today to him, but since he is in the town. I will visit him and give him the pill myself."
"Pill?"
"That's right, I bought a Jade Heart Pill with 95% of purity. I bought it for a thousand and two hundred Spirit Stones. But since I am nice, I also added three sets of Jade Heart Pill ingredients to him"
"Aiya, you silly girl. Who is the one you tricked this time? A Jade Heart Pill with such purity usually didn't appear in the market. And you only bought it with A thousand and two hundred Spirit Stones."
"I didn't trick him. I only teach him how to survive in this world. I even added three sets of ingredients, so his losses weren't that big. I'm very generous."
"He...who is the one made the pill? Is it an elder from Alchemist Guild?"
"No. He is around twenty years old. He seems very innocent and ignorant, even at that age. He said that he wanted to join our Heavenly Sword Sect. I am going to invite him to come under my tutelage along with my Younger Brother." She said.
"Indeed, to be able to make Jade Heart Pill with 95% purity in his twenty was indeed amazing. He is a peerless talent in Alchemy. If that Old Su Hua knows about him, I'm sure he will snatch it from us. But since he will join our Heavenly Sword Sect. Haha, we managed to catch the new heart of Mount Hua Sect."
"Haha, I'm a genius" She said proudly.
"That's right. I met a peerless genius in Sword. He is also going to join our Heavenly Sword Sect" Conn said, his expression became solemn as he looks toward his disciple. "That's why I wanted you to be his mentor."
The lady was very surprised by this sudden revelation. "But, I have my Younger Brother and that boy."
"No matter what, You need to have that genius under your tutelage. I don't care if you want to sacrifice your younger brother or that boy. But You must have him under your tutelage. That is an order, and I don't take no for an answer." Conn said solemnly.
"But..." When she looked at her teacher, who was glaring at her. She was scared.
"Fi...ne, I will...take him and my younger brother." She finally agreed, albeit reluctantly.
But it is different from Conn, as long as she agreed. He didn't mind who will be the one replaced. Well, the boy in her mouth also seems a genius in Alchemy. So he will check it too, but that's for later. For now, his plan is full of Alex. He is hoping for love to bloom between them after spending time together.
This is one of the biggest miscalculations in his life. She won't love Alex, because she holds a very big secret, she is...
