Talent Swallowing System - Chapter 759 Meeting Elders For The First Time
After buying the ingredients for the five pills he was confident in refining with the highest success rate, Leo checked the other stores to buy for the Fragments of the Moon Stones.
“I have 100 Fragments of the Moon Stones; however, I will sell them to you at 100 low-level Spirit Stones.”
Seeing that some cultivator was looking for the Fragments of the Moon Stones, the stall owner knew that he was in urgent need of them.
Therefore, he decided to take advantage of the other party and raised the price to a high level.
“Okay…you can keep those Fragments of Moon Stones for yourselves.”
Leo didn’t even bother to negotiate with the stall owner as he quietly turned around to level the stall.
Even though 100 low-level spirit stones were not much for Leo, he didn’t want to buy them when the stall owner was clearly trying to take advantage of him.
Hence, he thought to check out the other stores because there were still five more stalls that Leo believed to have the Fragments of the Moon Stones.
“Wait…wait…I can give them to you for 50 low-level spirit stones.”
Seeing that the customer was leaving without bargaining, the stall owner panicked and hurriedly reduced the price by half.
“25 low-level spirit stones; otherwise, I can just get them from other stalls.”
Leo turned back and quoted a price with a calm look on his face and he was ready to turn around if the stall owner didn’t agree with him.
“Fine…25 low-level spirit stones.”
The stall owner acted like he was bleeding out from the deal with Leo; however, deep down, he calculated his profits, ‘I got those fragments of Moon Stones for less than 5 low-level spirit stones and I am selling them at 25 low-level spirit stones. I am getting 20 low-level spirit stones…not bad…not bad.’
Even though his attempt to take advantage of Leo had failed, the stall owner was still happy with the gains he made and looked for new customers.
‘Let’s get all the Fragments of the Moon Stones in this Black Market.’
As for Leo, after completing the deal, he went to the other stores and bought more Fragments of the Moon Stones.
‘500 Fragments of Moon Stones…it will take at least 10 days to merge all of them into 50 moon stones.’
Even though Leo didn’t get many fragments of the Moon Stones, he was still satisfied because he could enter into seclusion for a week.
‘The only bad thing is I was unable to find the Dark Moon Crystal. It looks like I will just evolve the White Caterpillar into a Vitality Butterfly.’
With that thought in mind, Leo quietly left the Black Market.
As for the sect leaders and other powerful cultivators of the Silver Moon City, they searched for the Mysterious Golden Core Cultivator but failed to find him again because the Black Market was half as big as the Silver Moon City.
‘Damn it…why is our luck so bad?’
‘I think that Golden Core Realm Cultivator was intentionally avoiding us as though he was worried about something.’
‘Let’s send this information to the Lunar Sect and let them investigate this Mysterious Golden Core Realm cultivator.’
‘Yeah..yeah…even if he fights him, we can’t stand a chance against him.’
.

.
Soon, they felt that something was not right with the Mysterious Golden Core Realm Cultivator and decided to inform the Grade 7 sect, the Lunar Sect.
The three sects in the Silver Moon City are the subsidiaries of the Lunar Sect and that’s the reason why they were able to coexist for so long. Of course, behind the scenes, they would try their best to take down the other sect.
If they were not careful and the Lunar Sect found evidence of one sect trying to destroy the other sect, then it would be the end for the perpetrator sect.
That’s the main reason why the other two sects were remaining silent and were not attacking Leo’s Twilight Moon Sect and they were patiently waiting for Leo to die as they would eventually get half of his sect without doing anything.
….
In Twilight Moon Sect,
As for Leo, he was completely oblivious to the sect leaders’ thoughts as he was in a happy mood about getting some resources to merge for the next few days.
‘Let’s fully focus on refining the pills from tomorrow onwards.’
Leo had already decided to enter a seclusion for a week from tomorrow and the seclusion was not for cultivation; instead, it was for refining the pills.
Even though Leo was a high-level rank 2 Alchemist, he still didn’t have any clue about his success rate, the speed and the quality of the pills he would be refining.
So, he didn’t plan anything in detail as he acted accordingly and slowly learned those aspects regarding the alchemy in the coming days.
‘I wonder where Valen and the other two elders returned from their mission.’
In the morning, Gallant informed Leo that the three elders of the sect would be returning to the sect tonight. Hence, he thought to meet them and give them one special mid-level spirit stone each so that they could make some progress in their cultivation.
“Gallant, did they return from their mission?”
Soon, he asked Gallant about the Elders.
“Yes, master. They have returned; however, they are not in a good condition.”
With a bitter sigh, Gallant took Leo to courtyards belonging to the three Elders.
These courtyards were side by side and with a shout from Gallant, the three elders walked out of their courtyards with bodies full of injuries.
“Master, when we arrived, we went to pay our respects to you; however, the Vice Leader said that you went out.”
The three elders bowed to Leo with full respect and before Leo could ask anything, they informed the details regarding their mission.
“Even though we are injured, we got something useful to the sect.”
After saying that, the three elders took out a pill bottle and in each pill bottle, there was a shining blue-coloured pill.
“Foundation Establishment Pills and you got three of them?”
Leo was pleasantly surprised at the reward for their mission and could understand how dangerous the mission was.
Under Leo’s surprised look, the three elders walked towards Leo and gave them the three pill bottles.
“Sect Master, bestow these pills to our sect’s disciples at the right time.”
With faces full of pride, the three elders said those words, making Leo completely out of words.
‘It looks like without doing anything, I have already got some good followers and disciples in this world.’
Leo could not help but feel happy for having Gallant and others who were always thinking of him and the sect.
“You have worked very hard for the sect and it is time for you to receive the rewards from the sect.”
Leo said those words with a slight smile and slowly took out the three merged mid-level spirit stones from his bag.
“Sect Master, it is our duty to….”
Just as the elders were about to reject Leo’s rewards, they saw mid-level spirit stones in Leo’s hands and could not help but swallow their words.
“These mid-level spirit stones are special and as long as you use them for your cultivation, you will directly break through one realm. Also, all your injuries will heal in no time.”
It was Gallant who explained the benefits of the special mid-level spirit stones to the three elders.
“What? An instant breakthrough to the next level?”
The three elders were shocked by Gallant’s words and could not wait to test them out.
“Go now. For the next period of time, don’t go out of the sect and just focus on your cultivation.”
Leo thought about it for a moment and said, “Except for me, no one is allowed to leave the sect for the next one month and the goal is, you three should reach the peak Foundation Establishment Realm.”
“What?”
“Reaching the peak foundation establishment realm in just a single month?”
Gallant and three elders were shocked by Leo’s conditions; however, they could only nod their heads.
“The faster you achieve that, the sooner I will let you go out. You can also use these mid-level spirit stones.”
After some thought, Leo gave the remaining three special mid-level stones on him to them because compared to him, they needed these mid-level spirit stones more.
“Sect Leader, you are giving us one surprise after another today.”
The elders were shocked to see Leo had another three mid-level spirit stones; however, Leo’s next words caused them even more shock, “After one week, I will give another two special mid-level spirit stones for your cultivation. So, don’t disappoint me.”
Even though there were pills that could help the foundation establish realm cultivators, Leo felt the special mid-level spirit stones were much better and easy to use.
Therefore, he decided to give them more mid-level spirit stones because he would be merging at least one mid-level spirit stone per day from tomorrow.
“Gallant, since you have reached the peak foundation establishment realm, take this time to increase your cultivation techniques to perfection.”
After the three elders went into their courtyards with two mid-level spirit stones in their hands, Leo and Gallant walked back to their courtyards as Leo suggested to Gallant.The primary upload of this chapter happened on N0v3l–B1n.
“Master, I know what you mean; however, I have thought of something else.”
After some hesitation, Gallant informed Leo, “Earlier, when I reached the peak foundation establishment realm, my understanding of the puppets increased and I think, I became a High-level Rank 1 Puppet Master.”
“What?”
Leo was pleasantly surprised as he hurriedly said, “Congratulations, Gallant. You should practice on the puppet and make some high-level puppets.”
