Chapter 52 - Historical Event
"It seemed that when cultivators formed their core, their spiritual sense also upgraded, just like when we unlocked spiritual sense when we reach the Foundation Building realm." Leyvi speculated.
"But why did nobody know about this? Vivian didn't tell you?" Leyvi was confused and asked Lilian.
Lilian shook her head. "Sister Vivian never mentioned anything about this. She probably didn't know too or when she discovered that spiritual sense can exert spiritual pressure later, it didn't even occur to her that it could be used to compress the core during the breakthrough. I was about to stop too before husband told me to utilize the spiritual sense. After trying many things then I discovered that I could do that."
"Hmm, it looked simple after we discovered it, but before it was discovered, it was something exceedingly difficult to notice without luck." Anda nodded and agreed with what Lilian said.
Leyvi sighed. Thankfully the Toy Spirit reminded him. The Toy spirit usually liked to troll him but it was being nice this time.
"It's not that weird why nobody seemed to know about this, have you forgotten the nature of people? Everyone prefers to keep good things to themself. I'm sure more people know about this but they kept it secret from the public and shared it only among their people." Anda said her opinion.
Leyvi totally understands what Anda meant. After all, they were doing the same thing too. How many treasures did they keep for themselves? Many. How many better alchemy products did they reserve for themselves? Many. So Leyvi didn't think that this human nature is inherently bad. Nobody has the moral obligation to share their things with everyone.
"Maybe there are more hidden cultivation secrets that we aren't aware of." Leyvi speculated.
"Maybe...but for now, let's celebrate first! Let's have Tasya cook tonight!" Anda was excited. It's been a while since she ate nice food.
That night,
Everyone celebrated Lilian's breakthrough into the Core Formation realm. They were all sitting around the table together, eating and chatting without caring about status. It was also the best time to know what everybody had been doing.
In the past month, it turned out that Tasya has been working as a chef at a famous restaurant in Bara City. Although she only worked during the weekend, she quickly became popular and many people came and waited for the new Chef Prodigy's food every weekend.
Leyvi chuckled. She only works during the weekend? Tal has to go to the Chess Association during the weekend too. So she matched her schedule with Tal's.
Leyvi also noticed that Valenia was wearing a maid outfit like other maids. Isn't she Anda's Alchemic Knight? Why did she wear that outfit? Leyvi immediately asked Anda.
It turned out that since Anda was always in her room concocting pills, Valenia was bored and had nothing to do so she joined the other maids taking care of the mansion besides cultivating.
Leyvi decided to train with her later since she was bored. As Anda Alchemic Knight, she needed to be strong so he would help train her properly. Since they have the same cultivation base, Leyvi wanted to see if Valenia could hurt him at all after his gruesome training.
As for Layla, he continued to interact with her in a gentlemanly manner as Anda instructed, but for some reason, Layla kept getting flushed the more they interacted. Leyvi figured this must have something to do with Anda. He wondered what this evil mastermind Anda was planning.
Leyvi also heard from the maids that Stripey came back a few times. Apparently, he joined the Bara City Law Enforcement Squad. Leyvi was dumbfounded when he heard this. This monkey can't become a vigilante so he joined the Law Enforcement Squad. He needed to visit the Bara City Law Enforcement Office later to find out what kind of duty had been given to this small monkey.
Bana, the gatekeeper of the Leyan Family also thanked Leyvi and Anda because after such a long time, he finally broke through to the late stage of the Qi Refinement realm. He was already old and saw very little hope of breaking through, but after coming here, he was stress-free, living in a good cultivation environment, and was given good cultivation resources by his employer. Where else would he be treated like this? He decided to serve this family for the rest of his life.
As for the rest of the maids, there's nothing particularly going on with them. They enjoyed their life in the mansion and their relationship became very close. Surprisingly, they also became a good friend with Tasya and have been giving her relationship advice. Girls, do any of you have relationship experiences to advise her? Leyvi secretly laughed. Tasya also taught them cooking skills in her free time and all of them were eager to learn from the Bara City new Chef Prodigy.
The maids also told him that a new City Lord had been assigned. Leyvi hoped the new City Lord wouldn't be an evil mastermind again. Since he has a residence here now, he wanted the city to be free from trouble.
Leyvi looked at the people around him and wished that his life would continue to be like this.
Later that night,
Leyvi, Anda, and Lilian were having a two-versus-one again.
At first, Anda thought that with Lilian in the Core Formation realm now, it would be easy to defeat Leyvi, but contrary to her expectation, they were the ones who got defeated easily. She didn't know what kind of training Leyvi had been doing, but she was amazed by this new body of her husband. Her favorite rod was stiffer and harder than ever.
Although she enjoyed defeating her husband in bed, she also absolutely loved being dominated by Leyvi. It was this competitive nature that made her sex life never once dull. It was always exciting to her.
The battle this time was completely won by Leyvi. Anda and Lilian stood no chance against his tempered body.
"All those pains are worth it!" Leyvi said to himself while Anda and Lilian passed out on both of his sides.
The next day, the whole city was in an uproar again.
The Alchemy Prodigy, Alchemy Master Anda Leyan concocted the Foundation Solidifying pills which are now selling at the Treasure Pavilion!
The moment the news hit the city, Treasure Pavilion became the center of the storm again. This time there were more people than previously wanting to buy the pills. Even the new City Lord wanted to get his hand on the pill too for his wife.
The Foundation Solidifying pills were a product that hadn't appeared on the Bara City market for a long time. There were many people at the peak of the Foundation Building realm who were still holding back their breakthrough slowly removing impurities from their liquid Qi, especially the cultivators who made a lot of mistakes when they were in the Qi Refinement realm. This was their chance to fix most of their cultivation mistakes.
For the sake of fairness, the Treasure Pavilion sold only one pill per person, prioritizing the residents of Bara City first and first come first served.
A low-grade Foundation Solidifying pill was sold at the price of 1000 low-grade spirit stones while a middle-grade Foundation Solidifying pill was sold at the price of 2000 low-grade spirit stones. All 50 low-grade and 30 middle-grade Foundation Solidifying pills were sold in no time leaving behind many frustrated cultivators because they were too slow.
Realizing that she still underestimated the alchemy skills of Anda, Linda decided to modify the contract. Treasure Pavilion from now on will only take 5% of the sales profit from Anda instead of the previous 10%. She wanted to build a better business relationship with Anda.
"Madam, this is the profit this time." Layla handed the space bag to Anda. She was still dizzy by the amount of money she had to carry. It was a whopping 104500 low-grade spirit stones!
"Yes, the amount is correct. Manager Linda informed me about the slight contract change just now." Anda chuckled. She had predicted this would happen when they signed the contract so she just let the Treasure Pavilion take a bigger split last time.
"Sister Layla, how about it? You know.... Leyvi is getting stronger and stronger in bed. Lilian and I weren't enough to defeat him anymore. I need your help." Anda mischievously teased Layla.
Layla was flustered and immediately excused herself. She was getting more and more conscious about Leyvi now, that even mentioning his name made her wet.
The next week, Bara City was flooded with news of cultivators breaking through to the Core Formation realms one after another. It is the first time in the history of Bara City that so many people become Core Formation cultivators in a short amount of time and not even one of them failed in their breakthrough.
This city historical event reminded everyone again of how extraordinary an alchemist was. Anda's feat elevated the status of alchemist even more in Bara City.
