<h3>Chapter 443: Remuneration and Job</h3> Luo Xing explained that she herself didn't know what it meant and that it was only something she had happened to learn in her sect.&nbsp; She then proceeded to teach the remainder of what she knew about formations without really giving away any secrets.&nbsp; The information that Alex already had in his brain finally started to make sense as to what it meant. 'So I was just missing the core that connected it all,' he thought. He would still need to practice a bit, but this alone was enough for him to learn formations on his own now.&nbsp; Once the training was over, he went to check on Luo Keng. When he reached the room, he found the door open and a few people inside there&nbsp; There were Luo Keng himself, Shi Nangong, Luo Mei, Old man Jin, Xiao Huang, and another old man he did not recognize.&nbsp; Luo Mei was apparently doing the task right now 4 people other than herself and Luo Keng gave her their Qi. 'Considering Uncle will cultivate the next 2 weeks, 4 people should be enough,' Alex thought.&nbsp; Luo Mei put 100 percent of her concentration into sending her Qi to the stomach area and from what Alex could see, her Qi was getting eaten.&nbsp; Every time the Qi was eaten, she would have to carry the remaining Qi outside with her all the way inside.&nbsp; Finally, after 20 minutes, she stopped.&nbsp; 'That's… a bit of a problem,' Alex thought. 'I should make some pills for her.' "I… I can't do it. I just don't have enough True Qi to carry all of yours," she said as she huffed.&nbsp; "It's okay, Meimei. Take your time," Luo Keng said.&nbsp; "Uncle is right, sister." Alex walked into the room. "You can cultivate shortly and start again. I will make some pills to help with that, and brother Huang should have some formations for assisting too." "Ah, Nephew Ming, you are finally back," Luo Keng said while he wan on the bed. "You somehow taught my daughter how to navigate the human body's blood vessels. I'm truly amazed. Honestly, I didn't know her brain could hold anything but cultivation." "Oh, who's this?" the new man in the room said.&nbsp; "Brother Hong, this is the young man you were looking for," Old Man Jin said.&nbsp; "Oh, this is the junior Yu Ming?" the old man named Hong asked.&nbsp; "Uh…yes, I am Yu Ming. Senior is?" Alex asked.&nbsp; "You can call me old man Hong. I am the city lord's butler and was sent here to reward you for helping all of the different people. If not for you, we don't know how many we would've lost," the city lord said. "Reward? I don't need any reward, senior. I was happy to help with what I could," Alex said. "Besides, senior Jin helped me gather so many ingredients in such little time. So he should be the one you should be thanking really." "Ah, I like a humble young man. Still, the Lord sent me with the reward and I can't return without giving it to you," the old man Hong said and took out a small bag. "Here you go, young man." Alex looked through the bag and realized that there were nearly 500 True spirit stones in there.&nbsp; "Senior, this is too much. I just made a few dozen pills; they don't cost this much," he said.&nbsp; "Keep it, young man. You can't put a price on life, and you saved many that day. This is the least we can do," old man Hong said. Alex didn't know what else to say, so he kept it and thanked the old man Hong.&nbsp; "Actually, there is something else the Lord wanted me to ask of you, young man," old man Hong said. He pulled out another storage bag and handed it to Alex. "Here we have a few ingredients and recipes, all for Common rank pills since that's all you can make from what we've heard." "We were hoping we could employ you to make as many as you can," old man Hong said.&nbsp; Alex thought for a moment and tried to think of what jobs he had for the next few days. There was only 1 thing he needed to do.&nbsp; 'I just need to make pills for sister and uncle.' "Yeah, I can do that," Alex said. "Great, here you go." Old man Hong gave the ingredients. Since Luo Mei was tired, and this was just a test, Luo Keng decided to dismiss everyone.&nbsp; "I can do with a little more people, father.&nbsp; Although I don't know if your body can handle it," She said.&nbsp; "I felt no discomfort. If you can handle it, I will try to find a few more people," Luo Keng said.&nbsp; Alex checked Luo Keng once more to make absolutely sure that it was in fact the parasite, but that was pretty much proven at this point.&nbsp; He thought of going back to his room to cultivate but instead decided to go to the Alchemy hall to make some pills.&nbsp; Before that he needed to find Old man Jin for a small task.&nbsp; "Senior Jin, here are the books you gave me. I'm done with them," Alex said as he handed them back.&nbsp; "You're done reading them? Don't you want more?" he asked.&nbsp; "No, it's fine. There wasn't a lot of new information on it, but just enough to find Uncle's cure," Alex said.&nbsp; "Oh, that's great then," old man Jin said. "Also, can you do a small task for me for tomorrow morning?" he asked.&nbsp; "Sure, young lord. Anything you ask," he said.&nbsp; "The merchant group that sister came with, it should be leaving in a day or two, can you find out when that is?" Alex asked.&nbsp; "Uh… sure," old man Jin said. "But, won't you stay a little longer?" he asked. Alex shook his head. "Sister might have to stay, but I will need to go back. There are still a few things I need to do back in the sect," Alex said.&nbsp; "Sigh, I will find that information for you then, young lord," he said. "Thank you. I will be in the Alchemy hall, so… come find me around evening time tomorrow," Alex said.&nbsp; "As you wish." Alex left and went towards the alchemy hall. It seemed the people in the hall were let know about his arrival, so he was taken to one of the Alchemy rooms. "You don't need to wait on me. I will be here for at least 2 days," Alex said.&nbsp; Afterward, he entered and sat down on the floor next to the fire. He brought out the ingredients bag to check once more.&nbsp; "Hm… damn, that's close to 100 sets of ingredients. Even when I do 4 an hour… It should take close to…25 hours. If I speed up and exhaust myself, I should be able to do it in around 18 hours." "That's still quite a lot," he thought as he sighed. He looked at the recipes and realized that he knew all of them.&nbsp; 'Nothing new here either I guess. Although, I don't think I've made this one pill before,' he thought. It was around 10 pm, so he started making the pills. At first, he started slow with 3 pills an hour, but once he got the hang of it, he started doing 4, or even 5 pills an hour.&nbsp; However, he never forced himself to make 6 pills an hour. 'Damn, it's hard trying to cram the recipe when I need to do spend the same amount of time per ingredient. It's only the in between time that I can eliminate to make things faster,' he thought.&nbsp; He slowly made pills, resulting in about 2 pills every 45% of the time. It wasn't 50% like he was promised, but that was just how probability worked.&nbsp; In the next 10 hours, he did 45 sets of ingredients and got about 65 pills. Since it was 8 am in the morning, he decided to log out. He wanted to bring out Pearl and have him cultivate, but he wasn't sure if that was a good idea since he couldn't control what happened during that time.&nbsp; He went to get his breakfast and then went to school. Exams were getting close and he hadn't properly studied, so he decided to study in the morning.&nbsp; After he returned back from school, he went into the game to continue it all over once again.&nbsp; Fortunately, he didn't have the fatigue from making pills for an entire night and could restart once again.&nbsp; For the next 3 hours, he made the pills again and stopped.&nbsp; He stood up and walked out of the room to see old man Jin standing there.&nbsp; "Senior Jin, I must have made you wait. Apologies," he said.&nbsp; "Ah, no need to apologize young lord. I have got the information," he said. "Oh, please tell me. When is it?" he asked.&nbsp; "The Caravan will start moving tomorrow around 3 pm. It seems they were ready for you, so they have you registered," Old man jin said.&nbsp; "Hm… I should finish making these pills by the morning. So, I will meet with my sister and Uncle for the day and leave in the afternoon. Thank you, senior Jin. Please let Sister know about this too," Alex said.&nbsp; "My pleasure, young lord," Old man Jin said and left.&nbsp; Alex went back inside and made some more pills. Since he had such a long time, he took it slow and did it without gathering much mental fatigue.&nbsp; When he was done, he had made around 140 pills using the 100 or so ingredients.&nbsp;
