Alex left his master's house and went back to his house. He made a few more pills to pass so ti and prepare himself for tomorrow morning.
"Hmm… I should have asked the master how the test is done. I hope I don't have to make a tal aligned pill for the test or I don't know how I would make it so that it doesn't have a high harmony. Similarly, Other pills can't have high harmony or it would cause so trouble too. Although, I should be fine as long as I don't make a heaven-grade pill."
" I should also not use Elental Guidance tomorrow so that the pills I make don't have a lot of Harmony," he said. He was making as many plans as possible to not do well in tomorrow's test.
After making those pills, at around 1 pm in the afternoon, he left the sect. It took him about 15 minutes to go from his house in the sect leader's mountain to the gate at the outer sect, and then it took him about 15 minutes of walking to go from there to the Pink Cloud Auction house.
"I hope the items have been sold by now. They did say
A staff lady who knew his face took him to the inside of the auction house where the Cai Ping and the old person from before were waiting for him.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, you're here," the old man with the long white hair spoke.
"Good afternoon, Fellow Daoist Yu," Cai Pint greeted as well.
"Hello," Alex gave a single nod as a greeting in return.
Alex sat on the chair opposite the two people and waited for them to speak.
The older man simply reached for a storage bag and gave that to Alex. Alex looked into the storage bag with so expectations, hoping to make so good bucks, but what he saw astounded him.
He started counting, one after another.
'1, 2 ,3 … 51, 52, 53 … 172, 173, 174 … 293, 294… 389, 390, 391 … 422, 423, 429.' His eyes went wide with shock. "429 True Spirit stones?" he asked the people in shock.
"Yes," The old man nodded.
"Is this… after the 10% charge?" he asked hesitatingly.
"Of course, Fellow Daoist Yu," the man smiled seeing Alex's reaction. In fact, he himself was surprised at how much money had been issued for him to give back. However, he wasn't surprised why that was at all.
Being near the Saint realm himself, the man could understand the people's willingness to spend so many spirit stones to get their hands on sothing that could help them get the fabled Spiritual Sense.
Alex's hands were slightly trembling, holding the most expensive item in his whole life up until now.
'If I sell my remaining 3 flowers, I… I... I will be a millionaire,' he thought. This was a very tempting thought for him, but he managed to shake himself out of that thought.
'Take it slow. There will be other changes for that in the future. Invest these flowers on yourself for now,' he said to himself and started thinking about other things.
"How much did the pills earn?" he asked.
"The pills themselves earned you 29 True Spirit Stones. It was the flower that earned you the rest," the old man said.
Alex didn't know what else the two said by the ti he was already out of the auction house.
'So much money… nearly 400 thousand… do I even have to worry about money anymore? I can just make pills daily and sell them, can't I? I can probably take care of mom and dad like this,' He thought.
'Is that what sister ant when she said to think of this like work? Is this what this is now? Work. I… should start working hard. I will have to earn more money soon,' he thought.
The path back to sect took longer this ti since he had a lot on his mind. He slowed down his pace quite a few tis even. Slowly a different feeling started to appear in him.
'I can earn money by making a few pills every day. I don't even have to stay online all the ti. Why would I even stay online? I don't even need to play the ga most of the ti. Is that what this is all forcing to do? Stop playing?' he asked himself.
Having been handed so much money suddenly made him lose all sources of motivation to play the ga for fun. He started thinking of how he could earn money or manage his ti.
Thinking so, he got back to the sect and went straight to his house. Once he reached there, he decided to send back all but a few spirit stones.
He put in all 400 True spirit stones in the transfer settings and hit send.
