Alex looked at the badge numbered 168 and kept it in his storage bag.

"Argghh…" he softly cried in pain. "Goddammit that hurt," he said as he held his left arm that he was sure was broken even without looking at it. Although it hadn't looked like it, he had taken quite a bit of damage.

He took out a Common Healing pill of 38% harmony and ate it. Slowly, he felt the energy from the pill dissolve in his stomach and move all over his body as it healed what was harmed. His broken arm quickly got fixed as the energy washed over the left arm. He felt a bit of energy disappear when it reached his wound, but most of it still continued onward.





"Ah… that's much better." He said in relief as the pain went away. "I probably should have used the Flickering Shadow technique, but I don't want to reveal it yet. Thankfully, I learned the Jade Skin technique."

Jade Skin technique, a defensive technique, was one of the 7 techniques that Wen Cheng had brought for him. Although the name of the technique contained Jade, it had no elemental alignment to the Earth element or any elements for that matter.

When used, the Jade Skin technique would increase the defensive capability of the cultivator's skin allowing them to block attacks up to 2 realms higher. But even then, the bone in his arm was broken.

"That man's saber must've at least been a Common Heaven rank artifact to damage by bones through the Jade Skin." Alex had blocked off most of the energy of the saber, but the saber itself had damaged him quite a bit. He had taken the opportunity to dash forward at the time and knock out the unprepared opponent.

"Do I go to master's today as well?" he thought. In the end, he decided to just go. If not needed, he would simply return back to his home.

"Ah, you're here." He heard a sound before he even reached the training facility. "Hmm… why can't I see you thought?" Wen Cheng said as he walked towards him from around the corner.

Alex dropped his invisibility and showed himself to Wen Cheng. He curiously looked at Wen Cheng and asked, "Did you unlock spiritual sense, master?"

"Oh yes. It's all thanks to you. Hmm… why were you invisible just then? Is that a sort of technique?" he asked.

"Yes. It's a technique I learned a few weeks ago." He simply said as he walked towards the training facility.

"Okay, what ranking are you now? Did you improve at all?" Wen Cheng asked as he also went to the training facility.

"Uhhh…" Alex was a little stumped as to what he could say right now. "I… spent the entire day cultivating my spiritual sense master. I only fought one match to get back my badge." He decided to lie a little.

"Oh, you have a spiritual sense too? How many lilies did you use?" he asked.

"Huh?" Alex got a little surprised. "How many? Don't you only need one lily to unlock Spiritual Sense? Why would I use more than one?" he asked.

"Oh, is that what the records in Hong Wu Sect say? Haha," Wen Cheng gave a hearty laugh and followed it by saying, "No. While it is true that you require one to unlock your Spiritual sense. Using more, you can increase your spiritual sea and thus improving your spiritual sense."

Alex was surprised. "Thank you, Master. For telling me about it."

"It's alright. I have already used 2 and given 1 to your senior sister. I don't know how many you have, but if it's possible, save one for your senior brother as well. He might want it as well?" Wen Cheng said.

"Senior brother? I have one?" Alex said in surprise.

"Hmm… he didn't introduce himself to you? But he should have already met you. He became an elder a few years ago, and is currently working in the sect as the leader of the guards," said Wen Cheng.

"Leader of guards? Him? He is my senior brother?" Alex asked with a surprise.

"Yeah. I even gave him the sword to pass along to you. That damn boy should have introduced himself. Anyway, if you can save some lilies, save one for him too,' said Wen Cheng as he walked into the training facility.

"By the way, why haven't you taken off your changed appearance yet?" he asked.

"I don't know how to, so I have been wearing it for now. It should wear off in 7 hours though," said Alex.

"I see. I thought you alchemists would know about reverting the changes, but it seems I was wrong. Or maybe 2 weeks just isn't long enough for you to learn it. As Ma Rong about it when you enter. For now, let's proceed with the training. Since we missed yesterday, you can take a new book today out of these 4." Wen Cheng said as he brought the 4 books out from his storage bag.

Of the 4 books, one was a defense technique, while the others were offensive techniques. Alex decided to choose an offensive one today. He didn't have any offensive technique that he couldn't use without his sword, so he decided to learn one that didn't require a sword.

It was a metal-aligned fist technique that could be used from a long-distance away. He happily learned the book for the rest of the night and went back to his home at 3 am.

He took out a Spirit Cleansing Lily and tried it to see if it could indeed increase his spiritual sea just as the master said. He looked at the red flower in his hand. 'They are never the same color, are they?' he slowly closed his eyes and started to cultivate. Soon, he fell into a trance and went unconscious.
