Earning a few gold coins does not always have to revolve around sword and bloodshed or hunting others or even beasts to get a few hundred or maybe tens of thousands of gold coins and even with that, the expenditure was of a cultivator will just sit by and suck all the coins away when it needs it.
Power, money, authority. Others kill and get involved in all sorts of rubbish just for fame but where the fuck was money, power and authority.
With money, you will be famous.
With authority, you will be famous.
With power, you will be famous.
With those, you can always get famous so there was really no need to aim for fame alone when you can get two of them by targeting one of the M.P.A.
Well, wisdom, intelligence are also needed in this world.
"With the system, especially the lottery wheel I'll be able to cultivate all the job in this world, build it up to a level beyond reach and reach the peak at everything I do, with that I will be able to rest, Heavens, wait for this one." Liam said.
He went through his inventory, there were many slots in there so he used the system's help to search for techniques for alchemy.
The system immediately scanned through his inventory, and brought out the techniques and manuals related to alchemy.
[Beginning guide to alchemy]
[Ingredients encyclopedia]
[Beginners pill forging technique]
He took the beginner guide to alchemy, and red it, it comprises of the common flaws made by alchemist, few mixing technique, heating techniques, and many more.
Well, he has a long lasting memory causing him to recall everything that he red, it was as a result of his advanced mind and the help of the system.
He scanned through the other manuals, gaining knowledge of alchemy before he took the pill forging technique and imprinted it in his brain.
Then he went on to scan through the ingredients in his spatial ring that were related to alchemy.
"I'd like to go with the beginning grade qi condensing pill for a start." Liam said to himself as he took out the ingredients for forging that specific pill.
The silvery egg plant, the star shaped golden leaf, seeds of the serpent reaping plant and so on.
He brought out the cauldron, looking at it with a strange look.
It is the first time he would be using a cauldron, the first time he would be getting on a new path so he got a little nervous himself.
He uses telekinesis to take off the lid, then he used golden flame to start up the fireplace in the cauldron.
The strong heat created a little energy blast that only spread across a small distance, them he used telekinesis to start placing ingredients in after the other although he was kinda slow and his movement wasn't mature in that field.
He placed the first one and the flame reacted, causing the cauldron to let out an aroma.
[Calculating flaws: 1]
'What was a supposed to do?' Liam was a little confused.
[The flaws can't be revealed yet unless you completely forge the pill you are set to, the flaws are calculated for each pill you forge and at the end, the purity is calculated]
'Oh,' Well it was better that way, if he tries to remove the flaws from his forging then he would have to restart every process again, that way he would use more Ingredients than usual.
He placed the second ingredients inside, to craft this beginner grade pill he only needed five Ingredients thus he was done placing all the ingredients inside after three minutes.
The golden flame was heating the ingredients causing a dark green colored smoke to escape from the lid, it has a little aroma on it and a little mix of black on the smoke.
Normally, the color passed out from the forging process was supposed to be yellow given the mixture of the ingredients inside.
Liam held his head, for this failure he felt a strong headache nevertheless he got his usual composure back after the headache.
Alchemy was a difficult job that most sage could not cultivate to the peak even though they started at really young age.
After he was done he looked at the system window calculating his flaws.
[Total flaws: 45]
"45!" It was so surprising that he had to scream out his disbelief.
[Revealing flaws]
[1: Flame was uncontrolled]
[2: Yellow flame leaf was added at the wrong time.]
The system gave out all his flaws in forging process.
He learnt from the flaws and tried his best to correct the ones he remembered in the next one.
After about two hours, he completed the other one, this time ending with only 40 flaws meaning he has successfully corrected five of them.
The number of flaws he received at the end of the process started reducing causing him to smile, his efforts are starting to pay off now so why won't he smile.
After four more times, the flaws was reduced to 28.
At this time, it was nearing the dawn of a new day meaning that he has spent more than 12 hours practicing the beginner level of alchemy, he started late in the morning, probably around nine or so, the time now was almost 4 am.
"I only repeated the process six times in total, and the number of hours I spent are more than 15, which means I spend more than two hours on one pill forging. that's pretty slow but I know that as I upgrade my knowledge in the technique, the time spent will lower itself," Liam muttered to himself, as of right now he was feeling a little numb in his body because of the number of times he spent controlling the flame and adding ingredients.
He did a little stretching, and decided to take a quick nap inside the room.
He woke up the next morning around 10 am, he had a brief shower because there was a bathroom inside the production hall.
After that, he uses blood to craft a new item and wrapped it with clothes before leaving to meet Zen whom he has instructed for what he would be using for his demon eye.
Getting there, he met the old man conversing with no one other than the brat Konad, the one at the merchant guild that day.
The two of their gaze clashed with each other, Konad flinched a little as he felt the brief killing intent that was released from his uncovered eyes.
'This bastard!' Konad cussed in his mind as he could still freshly recall that moment at the merchant guild when he was humiliated by Liam in the presence of low lives.
He could not help it but feel a lot of hatred for Liam who at the moment did not even bother about him.
"Hey Zen!" Liam waved and greeted Zen casually causing Konad eyes to roll back in surprise.
Crafter Zen was a respected crafter, his father has always wanted to have a friendly relationship with him but crafter Zen was higher than his class, therefore he did have the balls to try and start a friendly relationship with him but just now, someone like Liam was able to call him by his name without fear and he even did causally.
"Are you courting death, Master Zen is an honorable Crafter that the king and noble family honours, are you seeking death by calling him with his name.." Konad was enraged with Liam arrogance, this bastard did not fear him a bit and now he was even acting disrespectfully to a legendary figure.
"Ha ha, young man, what a pleasant surprise!" Crafter Zen did not mind Konad.
He was curious about how their was someone like Liam who has such unique features than any other, he was young with strong cultivation and he even posses a unique eye that needed an high quality craft to be able to hold it's power.
Konad jaw dropped to the ground as he looked at the two of them acting like buddies.
Who is this young man anyways, he always seems to be do wonders anywhere he goes and yet no one in grained earth kingdom has heard his name before.
Liam went in with Zen leaving the dumbfounded Konad outside, Zen brought out a box and passed it to him.
Liam received it with a smile and opened the box to look at the stuff inside, it was his Craft.
What he would be naming as the Eyepiece of domination.
He picked that name because it was cool and sounded mysterious in his ears.
He took off the blood forged weapons, dispersing it in the air and absorbing it while he placed the newly crafted Black and gold eyepiece of domination.
It was flexible even though it was made with hard minerals.
After they were done, he bade him farewell and went outside, summoned the flying shark in the presence of Konad and took off into the air.
