230 Back to Zunde Field

Alex took another two months to consolidate his cultivation while making pills. He decided to do that because he thought about the future. If he consolidated his cultivation alone without caring about Spirit Stones. With his two or three hundred thousand Spirit Stones left, after reaching the Martial Grandmaster stage, he would not have enough resources to advance.

Of course, he had researched Flaming Sun Pills and mastered it. He also tried learning about Space Plate and Spatial Doors. Although it was complicated, Alex somehow managed to learn Spatial Doors. Unfortunately, he did not manage to get a good grasp of Spatial Doors.

In these two months, Alex thought about selling the cultivation chance in Cultivation Pavilion for Spirit Stones. But it might arouse suspicion from the others, so he refrained himself. At least, the promised fifty thousand Spirit Stones as his reward came to him.

In Alex's bedroom.

Alex was in a lotus pose while his eyes were closed. When absorbing Spiritual Energy, Alex finally felt that something started clogging up in his body. He felt something like this before he had a breakthrough into Martial Master. At that time, since he was on his honeymoon. He chose to stop his cultivation for a while and enjoyed his time with Alicia and Firia.

Alex opened his eyes as he got outside his bed and came out of the room. He looked at Anna, who was sweeping the floor with a broom.

"Young Master" Anna greeted him, and she realized. "Are you going to breakthrough?"

"Yes" Alex nodded. According to the card, Anna and Leoz had reached 3-Star Martial Grandmaster. He can not lose to them. Considering he was their master, it would be too embarrassing.

"Then, I will prepare myself and follow you."

Alex had told her about his plan for this breakthrough. He was unsure whether that golden lightning that appeared in his tribulation for Martial Master would appear again or not. But if the golden lightning appeared once again, it would become troublesome. So, he chose the area around the Blazing Pond. Of course, he would need to ask Anna to protect him in case something happened.

"Yes. Oh, right, before that. Please give this to Senior Sister Song Yu first." Alex gave her a Space Ring. It took him a long time to refine all of them. If he had not refined his heart. It might take him another month to complete the refinement of three hundred sets of Tempered Muscle Pill. After all, the heart gave him a breakneck speed to recover his Spiritual Energy.

Previously, Alex needed two days to reach Zunde Field, where the Blazing Pond was. Now, he might need only one day to reach there...probably. Within that time, Anna can give the pills to Song Yu. After all, Song Yu and the rest had met her. So, there was no point in hiding it again.

If Anna was the one who came to Song Yu, then Alex can make his way to Zunde Field. He did not need to waste time to wait for Song Yu's reply. Anna nodded to him and went to the crystal room to lit the crystal for Song Yu's house.

"Then, I will go first. As soon as you finish, just inform me, and I will summon you."

"Yes, Young Master"

Alex nodded and flew away. Alex went to Zunde Field directly.

An hour later, the crystal for Song Yu's house had dimmed down. Anna immediately set off toward Song Yu's home.

Seeing Anna come to her, she was surprised. Anna was not bothered by it since she had expected that Song Yu would be surprised by her presence.

"If I'm not wrong, you are Anna, right?"

Anna nodded. "I come here on behalf of Young Master to give this to you."

Anna was not that polite to others. In fact, she was only polite to Alex. No matter how high or how low other people's cultivation, she did have any attention to be polite. Especially with Song Yu. Because of her misunderstanding that thinking Song Yu became another candidate as Young Master's wife, she became a bit more hostile. If Song Yu were polite with her, even after that, she would accept her. Well, considering the age, Anna was the senior here.

"Oh, Alright, thanks. I will sell it. By the way, where is Alex? I thought he would be the one who comes here." Song Yu asked while receiving the Space Ring.

"Young Master is currently seeking the opportunity to break through to Martial Grandmaster stage outside the sect. Now that I have given the Space Ring to you, I will now go and accompany him." Anna said.

"I see." Song Yu nodded. She was a bit surprised to see that Alex was going to break through to Martial Grandmaster. Considering three months ago, he was just an 8-Star Martial Master. But she remembered when Alex was stuck in 5-Star Martial Master for around six months. Then suddenly, he broke through a few levels after that pretty easily. Well, he had Charya's token in him, so she did not worry that much.

Anna nodded to her and contacted Alex. "Young Master, I have given her the goods."

"Understood. Then I will summon you here."

"Yes." Anna then turned to Song Yu, "Then now my job has been completed. I need to go to him"

Anna said that as she started to disappear because Alex's recall her back to the card to summon her again on his side. Song Yu was checking the Space Ring before she was shocked. There were nine hundred Tempered Muscle Pills inside the Space Ring.

According to her memory, she just gave Alex's three hundred sets of ingredients. She also knew that the limit for a set of Tempered Muscle Pill could give birth to three pills. Seeing the nine hundred Tempered Muscle Pills inside the Space Ring. How can she not be shocked?

That meant Alex managed to make three pills from each set perfectly. And after she checked the quality of the pill, her jaw dropped as her legs started giving out. All of the pills had perfect purity. Song Yu fell on her knees while thinking, 'What kind of monster Alex is?'

Evelyn came out of the house after seeing Song Yu fell to her knees. At first, she did not dare to go out. Seeing Song Yu spoke to Anna, she did not want to disturb them. She just observed from a distance. After seeing Song Yu fall to her knees, she can not help but come to her.

"Big Sister, what happens?" Evelyn asked while checking her condition.

"Err... Nothing." Song Yu tried to regain her composure. Alex will become a millionaire. But all of that came from Rank 3 pills. Then, what would happen when he made rank 4 pills or higher. Surpassing the wealth of an entire sect or kingdom might be possible. And when he came to the Northern Continent where her family was, he might as well surpass the wealth of her family.

She suddenly remembered Alex's VIP card. There were two 'V' on it. Alex might be a higher level of VIP on her Blackwade's clan. She gulped down. Maybe she should treat him differently after now?

Of course, all of this can't be told to others. If they knew that Alex was like that, they might enslave him to make money if not kill him. She stored the Space Ring carefully. She did not dare to think about her ten percent commission that she had lowered from twenty percent. She only sighed as she turned to Evelyn, "There is nothing. Let's go back."

"Un." Evelyn was confused. However, she still nodded her head.

...

Back to Alex,

After recalling Anna to the card, he finally summoned her back. Alex stopped a bit to summon her. Both of them then continued flying since their journey was still long.

They talked with each other throughout the entire journey. Anna considered this as a date while watching the scenery. Although they were moving fast, a trip with Alex still considered a date for Anna.

Alex, of course, did not mind that. In fact, he was happy with Anna's presence.

After a day, they finally arrived at Zunde Field. They immediately went to the cave where the Blazing Pond was. After confirming the pond was still there, untouched, with his Spirit Eyes. Alex finally started searching the surrounding for a perfect place for his breakthrough.

After searching around for a few minutes, he finally found a rather big field without any trees. Considering the cave was surrounded by forest. Finding this kind of field was pretty miraculous. It was only around two hundred meters away from the cave. Because it was surrounded by big trees, it did not really stand out.

"Anna, could you check our surroundings to make sure there are no cultivators or Spirit Beast around us?" Alex asked.

"Understand." Upon hearing Alex's order, Anna immediately accepted and searched around.

Alex also did not waste any time. Without further ado, Alex took out Grandmaster Stage monster blood. Alex still had blood supply from his system. As he never used it because his level was too low. Alex used it on this occasion. He might need to buy the beast's blood again.

He wanted to collect it himself. But, since the amount he will store later was massive. He did not want to waste time by extracting the blood from the monsters one by one.

With that, he started making the array for him. There were three arrays that he was going to make. First, it was Rank 3 Spirit Gathering Array. Breaking through in a place dense of Spiritual Energy will benefit him. Second, it was rank 2 Lightning Rod array. He had made this array back when he underwent the lightning tribulation back in the lower world.

It was his cheat sheet. There will be ten lightning strikes for the tribulation. Previously, he used this Lightning Rod Array for the ninth since he can't use it on the last one. He was planning to do that again. Lastly, he made Rank 3 Array Tortoise Shell Array. He learned how to make this array in his fifth month when consolidating his cultivation.

He did not need to practice Rank 2 Lightning Rod Array because of the similarity it had with the Rank 1 Lightning Rod Array. With some little tweaking, he made the Rank 2 Lightning Rod Array. After finishing the array, he made the last check to ensure the array was working.

After that, he started cultivating again. He was about to breakthrough. According to his speculation, he should trigger the lightning tribulation in two hours.

After an hour, Anna came back to his side. She thoroughly checked the area in one hundred kilometers radius. She might be exaggerated a bit, but all of it was for Alex. So, she did not exaggerate, at least that was what she thought.

"Young Master, everything is fine. There are no high rank monsters or cultivators around. But something is not right."

"What is it?"

"I noticed there is an increase in the number of monsters around this area. Although their strength is not that high. I felt there is something wrong here. I suggest Young Master call Leoz, that muscle brain, here. Although this Tortoise Shell Array might stop them. If some high rank appeared, it might be a bad one." Anna said with a serious expression.

Alex frowned. Although he felt Anna exaggerated a bit much. Alex still regarded her warning seriously. "Alright, let's call him."

Alex took out Leoz's card. Since he recalled Anna after she gave the Space Ring to Song Yu, Leoz's card was in his possession. "Leoz, what are you doing right now?"

...

In the forest next to Zhou Kingdom's capital city, A yellow haired guy finally split a big snake into half. His sword was still covered by yellow lightning, because there were other monsters in front of him other than the big snake that he had cut. After hearing, Alex's voice rang on his head. He immediately looked at the monsters in front of him and ran away.

"Killing monsters, as usual. Is there anything you need from me?"

"I want to call you here to assist me as I want to undergo my lightning tribulation."

"Understood. You can summon me anytime." Leoz said.

"All right, I will summon you here now." Alex said. After that, Leoz disappeared from the forest. "Summon"

Leoz was covered by red colored liquid. Anna and Alex can recognize it. It was blood. Leoz greeted him. "Young Master."

Alex nodded. Seeing his blood covered body, "You can rest first."

Leoz nodded.
