Talent Swallowing System - Chapter 758 Completing The Deal

“As for others, as long as you work hard in your cultivation, you will be receiving similar or even better rewards.”

Looking at the disciples who were cheering for Little Two and Little Three, Leo informed them with a slight smile on his face.

“Really?”

“I will enter a full day seclusion.”

“I will go for two days and break through to the level 6 Qi-refinement Realm at any cost.”

.

.

.

Hearing Leo’s words, all the disciples were excited and their motivation to cultivate had reached the next level.

Even though these disciples were serious about cultivation, still, Leo’s words could make a lot of difference because now, they have a tangible reward waiting for them.

“Let’s meet again here after exactly a week. Whoever improves their cultivation will get the highest reward.”

Leo introduced some competition between the disciples as he quietly left the training grounds along with Little Nine.

“Until I find a Foundation Establishment Pill, focus on your alchemy and try to break through to mid-level Rank 1 Alchemist.”

Along the way, Leo gave 10 sets of ingredients to make both Qi-refinement Pills.

Little Nine was not only a Cultivation Genius but also an Alchemy Genius. After focusing on Alchemy for a year, Little Nine could already refine Vitality Pills and the Qi-refinement Pills.

Even though he could only mostly refine low-level pills and occasionally one or two mid-level pills could be refined, which means, he was not far from becoming a mid-level Rank 1 Alchemist.

‘But…master, won’t it affect the finances of the sect?’

However, Little Nine didn’t take those ingredients because he felt bad for the sect which was already not doing good and didn’t know how long they were going to last.

And, now, his master was giving away 10 sets of ingredients which were equivalents to 10 low-level spirit stones.

Even though they were not much, they could not bear to use them in their current situation.

“Kid, let me, the sect master, worry about the sect. As for you, you should focus on your cultivation and alchemy.”

Leo frowned as he scolded Little Nine, “Also if you can refine five times out of 10 times, the pills are enough to cover the cost of the ingredients.”

“If you can successfully refine more than five, you are helping the sect get some revenue…despite the revenue being very less.”

Leo explained in a way that Little Nine could take refining pills more seriously.

“That’s right! How could I forget about that?”

Hearing Leo’s words, Little Nine’s eyes shone with bright light as he hurriedly took the ingredients and confidently said to Leo, “Master, I will make sure to refine at least six out of 10 times.”

Little Nine didn’t exaggerate his talent Leo was confident that Little Nine could easily refine eight times out of 10.

Nevertheless, Leo didn’t say anything as he wanted Little Nine to learn how much of a genius he was regarding Alchemy.

For cultivators, cultivation is a long and tedious process and thus, from time to time, they shift their focus to some alternatives like refining pills, arrays, weapons and so on.

Soon, Little Nine rushed towards his courtyard to refine the pills.

Even though the Twilight Moon sect was dying, the area it had was big and since there were only 13 disciples, Leo gave each one of them their courtyard.

‘I hope he can break through his alchemy and become a mid-level alchemist.’

Leo was hoping for a pleasant surprise from Little Nine because he had some serious future plans regarding Little Nine.The primary upload of this chapter happened on N0v3l–B1n.

As long as he was nurtured enough, Leo’s plan in completing the [Ascending Mission] will be greatly increased.

After that, Leo walked towards Gallant’s courtyard and met him.

“Congrats, Little Gallant.”

Even though Gallant was over 400 years old, in front of Leo, he was still a younger one. Hence, he called him Little Gallant as he congratulated him for his breakthrough to the peak Foundation Establishment Realm.

“It’s all thanks to the Master’s help.”

Gallant thanked Leo as he bowed to Leo which Leo accepted.

“Contact the three Elders and ask them to return to the sect. It is time for them to receive the rewards for their hard work.”

Leo exchanged only a few words before saying the reason why he came to meet Gallant.

“Master, they have already informed me that they will be coming tonight.”

Gallant was surprised when he heard Leo’s words; however, he suppressed them and informed Leo about the elders.

“Good.”

Leo nodded his satisfaction as he informed, “After they return to the sect, tell them that I forbid them from leaving the sect anymore.”

“Th-this…”

Gallant didn’t understand the reason; however, he knew Leo must be planning something and hurriedly nodded his head with an expectant look on his face.

‘Master miraculously became active after coming from seclusion and even got a special mid-level spirit stone. I think he might have been enlightened and received some gifts from the Celestial Moon God.’

Even though it was a myth in this world, Gallant could not help but to consider Leo gaining the blessing of the Celestial Moon God.

‘Who cares if he was blessed by the Celestial Moon God or not, as long as he is alive and powerful, it is more than enough for me.’

Gallant has been following Leo for more than 350 years and could be considered a die-hard follower. So, he didn’t bother much about the myths or anything.

After talking for some time, Leo returned to his cultivation chambers waiting for the Celestial Moon to turn Purple.

Soon, the Moon in the sky turned purple as night descended.

Without wasting any time, Leo got into his dress code for the Black Market and quietly left the sect.

…..

In the Black Market,

Ethan was waiting for the Golden Core Realm Cultivator from yesterday with a face full of expectations.

From time to time, he had a worried look on his face; however, he soon suppressed his worries and made a face full of expectations.

‘Everyone, keep an eye on him.’

‘He is waiting for the Golden Core Realm Cultivator from yesterday.’

.

.

.

Oblivious to Ethan, he was surrounded by a few cultivators who were quietly watching him from a distance.

Those cultivators were ready to inform their sect leaders and higher-ups the moment they saw the Golden Core Realm cultivator.

“Here. This is the pill I promised you. Eat it before you become a target for others.”

Suddenly, a silhouette flashed in front of Ethan as he heard a familiar voice in his head.

At the same time, he saw a pill bottle in his hand, making him heave a sigh of relief.

‘Gulp’

Without any hesitation, Ethan directly consumed the high-level Vitality Pill under Leo’s watch.

‘Swoosh’

In the next second, Ethan felt the gushing vitality in his body and heaved a huge sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Sir.”

Ethan gave Leo a deep bow.

‘If you want I can give you another pill that can increase your lifespan by more than 1 year. Are you interested in it?’

Leo said in a low voice that only Ethan could hear because Leo knew that they were currently under the watchful eyes of many cultivators.

“What?”

Ethan was shocked as he looked at the masked cultivator in front of him.

‘If you are interested, let’s meet exactly one week from now on in the Market Square.’

After saying those words, Leo took a few steps back, “Since our deal is complete, let’s part ways now.”

Leo said those words intentionally as he didn’t want other cultivators to follow Ethan to find him.

‘Swoosh’

Once he said those words, he didn’t waste any time as he directly left that place and the other cultivators could not even notice in which direction he went.

….

After completing the deal with Ethan, Leo was on a shipping spree as he bought all the items he made a list of.

Of course, he didn’t buy any rank 2 pills because, with his 5800 low-level spirit stones, he could only buy four Spiritual Essence Pills.

Instead, he could buy 10 tens of ingredients for Spiritual Essence Pills with 1000 low-level spirit stones and only 100 low-level spirit stones for 100 sets of ingredients for pills like Qi Harmony Pills and Spirit Channeling.

As for Vitality Pills and Qi-refinement Pills, they are the cheapest ones as he only needed to spend one low-level spirit stone to buy a set of ingredients for them.

….

Ingredients set for the pills.

1) Spiritual Essence Pills x 10, 1000 low-level spirit stones.

2) Spirit Channeling Pills x 100, 1000 low-level spirit stones.

3) Qi Harmony Pills x 100, 1000 low-level spirit stones.

4) Qi-refinement Pills x 500, 500 low-level spirit stones.

5) Vitality Pills x 500, 500 low-level spirit stones.

….

In a short time, he spent 4000 low-level spirit stones, leaving him with another 1800 low-level spirit stones.

Of course, Leo didn’t buy all these ingredients from a single stall as a single stall can’t store this many ingredients.

‘With this many pill ingredients, I can enter seclusion and refine them.’

Actually, Leo thought to buy low-level pills and merge them into high-level pills before selling them back; however, after some thinking, he decided not to do that as it would be risky and troublesome.

Moreover, it won’t be easy for him to make much money through that process before someone gets suspicious of him.

Since he was not a high-level rank 2 Alchemy, refining those five types of pills are a piece of cake and hence, Leo decided to focus on refining for the next week and have as many high-level items before selling them in a single go with his identity as a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.
