Chandler could not help but shake his head when virtual-novel.net heard all of that. The alchemist’s path was definitely not easy. It was even several times harder than martial arts, and it required a lot more talent.
“Is it really that hard to condense a pill aura?” Chandler put down the cup of tea in his hand as virtual-novel.net asked seriously.
Even though virtual-novel.net had some understanding of alchemy, virtual-novel.net had never tried to understand the Way of the Pill before. He did not understand how difficult it was to understand the Way of the Pill and condense a pill aura. Mr. Simmons had many years of experience in Heavenly Pills, so virtual-novel.net naturally had some authority on the matter.
“Of course it’s hard! Let me give you an example that you can understand. For a fifth-grade alchemist to understand the Way of the Pill and condense pill aura is like having an innate realm warrior learn a having an upper earth rank skill. Isn’t that hard?”
With Mr. Simmons’ example, Chandler had a better idea of it. Of course, it was hard! It was incredibly hard. It was basically something virtual-novel.net was unable to do at all. It was considered quite good if virtual-novel.net managed to learn an upper red level skill.
Earth rank skills were something virtual-novel.net would not even dare to think about in the innate realm. Those who were able to learn those skills were all excellent disciples within the clans. If virtual-novel.net could do something like that, virtual-novel.net would have already been an inner disciple a long time ago. For there to only be one person capable of doing it out of twenty, virtual-novel.net suddenly understood why. Thinking about that, virtual-novel.net pursed his lips helplessly as Jack’s image flashed in his mind.
After a creaking sound, a broken-down wooden door was pushed open by someone. Sunlight shone in, and a whole floor of dust jumped into vision. It seemed like it had been a long time since anyone had cleaned the room up.
There were enough cobwebs on the window to use as a tablecloth. The room was incredibly small. Other than a table, there was only a bed. The bed did not even have any sheets on it. The room was completely dilapidated.
Jack raised an eyebrow as virtual-novel.net turned his head around, looking at Gilbert who had a warm smile on his face.
Gilbert licked his lips, saying a little helplessly, “I’m sorry. The other rooms are all already taken. This is the only room that’s still empty. You can make do with it.”
Jack let out a small laugh as his lips curled up. He looked at Gilbert coldly, “Are there no other rooms? Is this the only room left?”
Gilbert nodded, not saying anything. All Gilbert did was signal with his eyes that Jack should enter so virtual-novel.net could leave.
Jack turned around and faced Gilbert, “I’ll take the room, but that doesn’t mean I’ve already admitted defeat. It doesn’t mean you can just bully me around either. It’s just that I can’t be bothered to waste my time on you right now.”
After that, Jack turned around and entered the dust-filled room that was in a bad state. He shut the door behind virtual-novel.net with a bang, and Gilbert’s nose was almost hit by the door.
At that moment, Gilbert’s heart was filled with anger. He wanted nothing more than to rush inside and kill that guy who did not know his place. In the end, his rationality won over his anger.
He snorted and stared viciously at the door before virtual-novel.net turned around and left.
After virtual-novel.net left, Jack summoned Nash out of Mustard Seed. Jack did not ask Nash to do anything. Instead, virtual-novel.net took out the cleaning tools and cleaned up the room before virtual-novel.net had Nash sit by the bed. Jack told Nash everything that had happened recently.
After Nash heard everything, virtual-novel.net frowned and said, “Why do you meet disgusting flies everywhere you go? You’ve done nothing against this Gilbert person. Why is virtual-novel.net trying to make things difficult for you?
