When he entered the magma, obviously, he can only see red magma everywhere. For this, he activated his Spirit Eyes. He can finally see a different world. Alex saw at the bottom of the magma, there was so kind of different energy.
"It must be the one who called here."
At the bottom of the magma pond, Alex can see a red flower, growing in the middle of the magma. Suddenly, the system spoke.
[Host, it is Magma Star Flower]
"Magma Star Flower?" Alex was confused. Suddenly, he recalled that na sowhere from his Alchemy Book. It was a flower that can turn a water pool to a magma pool. From the information, it was very useful for Body Cultivation. But normally, it would be used at the interdiate stage, where the water will start boiling and can't be used anymore after the water turned into magma.
People usually pulled the flower and changed it to a new water pool. Only a Martial King can do that, according to the book. After all, a Martial Lord will still be unable to change it because they were strong enough. Should he pluck the flower?
[Host didn't need to do that. You can just bath in here for a while. It will refine your body. Since Host has Pure Fire, you didn't need to fear this, and I assure you the effect would be more effective. Yeah, just suck it to dry]
"System, why do I feel you are frustrated?"
[It must be your imagination]
"Whatever" Alex shrugged his shoulder. He then released his Pure Fire shield. Unfortunately, he forgot to store his clothes first. The magma burned his clothes to nothing.
His body refining started now. It took him three days for this.
At the top, Sherry was lazily lying on Putri's lap.
"Is he alright? He still has not co up after three days" Putri asked Sherry while stroking her. After three days, Putri finally knew how high Sherry's intelligence was. She was startled by it at first, but after a while, she got used to it.
"Wuu (Master is enjoying sothing inside the magma)" Sherry said.
At first, Putri was bewildered that even though Sherry only said, 'Wuu Wuu'. Putri was sohow able to understand her aning completely, just like now when Sherry said, 'Master is enjoying sothing inside the magma'. For the first ti in her life, Putri pinched her cheek to see if she was insane or not. And the result, she wasn't.
She thanked Sherry for her assistance when they were pursued. Sherry puffed her chest back then. She tried talking about how she and Alex t, and so on. Sherry was very eager to let her know that her master was the best. Especially about how he can feed her anyti.
Sherry unknowingly said because her master was an Alchemist, she can get so many Spirit Stones or Pills as her food. Putri froze when she knew Alex was also an Alchemist. She still didn't know that Alex was the masked Alchemist that she t in Shades Town, though. Since she had known his talent about Array and the others first. She didn't pass out and break down, unable to accept the reality.
Putri did another Heavenly Oath for that. After that, Sherry finally realized that she had blabber too much. She told Putri to not say it to her master about her telling another person his identity as an alchemist. If not, she might not have any food from now on. Putri was convinced by her cuteness. She said it was fine. Putri swore in her heart that she wouldn't be shocked anymore if Alex did another extraordinary thing.
Not long after, in the magma pool. Alex opened his eyes. The energy from the flower was gone. He felt his strength got stronger. For the comparison, it was equal to four Tempered Muscle Pill. Alex erected a barrier. He then put new clothes on him. He didn't want to go up there naked.
Finally, Alex jumped out of the magma. He felt the intense heat of the magma was gone. It had beco an ordinary magma, and after this, it would beco colder and colder as ti went by and eventually beca a water pool again.
"Wuu (Master)" Sherry leaped to Alex's embrace like she was missing him.
Alex caught her and stroked her. "You miss ?"
"Wuu" She nodded repeatedly.
"Haha, let's go ho. We will go to the Battle Tower after this and clear all the monsters inside. I'm sure the energy will be much higher than in our previous trials."
"Wuu" Sherry nodded furiously. She was very eager to do it. Then she looked at Putri and blinked her eyes a few tis. She was telling her to keep her promise not to tell him about 'that'.
Putri chuckled, she nodded to her and Sherry finally went back to Alex's body, relieved.
Confused, Alex asked, "What are you talking about, Senior Sister?"
"Fufu, nothing."
Alex only shrugged his shoulder. He erected a barrier to ward the heat. Putri then crossed the room with him. They proceed carefully. The path was a bit long, and because they proceed cautiously, they need a few hours before finally, they found the exit. It was really behind a waterfall.
After checking their position in the sky, Putri knew their position. They were in i Rain Forest. It was the next forest they need to pass before they reached the sect. Alex also confird it, since he found this forest familiar. They continued their journey to the sect. Unfortunately, because too much happened, Putri forgot to do one thing.
...
A few days ago, After getting a signal from Putri. Charya imdiately set off from the sect. Getting a signal when her disciple wasn't in the sect. There would be only one possible thing. Her disciple had encountered a very big problem. She tried to go toward the direction where the signal was sent. She only found a forest without anyone to see it.
She kept searching for her and Alex and found a big pile of rubble. She imdiately searched for them in there. But after clearing up all the debris, she didn't find them. She kept searching for them for days.
...
One and a half days later, Alex and Putri finally arrived at Heavenly Sword Town. When they were flying toward the sect's entrance. An old man ca in front of them. White hair, aged face, a kind face with unpleasantly familiar face. He wore a white robe, and there were so stains in his white robe. From it, Alex and Putri can sll the aroma of dicinal Ingredients. Alex's expression turned to dark.
"Hoho, I was thinking about taking a breather outside and look what I found" The old man said, looking at Alex.
Alex clicked his tongue and cursed his bad luck. He just turned a misfortune to a blessing, but now his luck turned bad again. He tried to make the best smile he can make at the mont. "Good Evening, Elder Su Hua"
Yes, the one in front of him was Su Hua from Mount Hua Sect. He had t him months ago in Alchemist Guild in this town. He thought Su Hua only visited here for a short ti. But he never thought he was so persistent and waited for nine months!
"Good good. You still rember " Su Hua nodded satisfied.
Putri was astounded. The one in front of them was Elder Su Hua from Mount Hua Sect, it was the famous Su Hua in Willow Continent. He was one of ten 5th Rank Alchemist in the continent. And he seed to know Alex. She thought, 'What is their relationship?'
"It's been ten months from the tournant. How are you doing? Have you been mistreated by Heavenly Sword Sect? How about coming to Mount Hua Sect?" Su Hua said. As expected, his purpose here was to get him.
Alex said, "Thank you for Elder Su Hua's concern, but they have not mistreated ."
Su Hua then turned to Putri, "Oh, isn't this the second miss of Makmur Family? If I'm not wrong, you are Putri Wulan?"
Putri then greeted him, "Putri Wulan Makmur greets Elder Su Hua. I'm honored to have Elder Su Hua rember ."
Putri imdiately knew when Su Hua said all of that to Alex. It seems he had also recognized Alex's talent. But whether he knew all of his talent or not, it was still a mystery.
"So, what are you doing here? Are you going back to the sect?"
"Yes, Elder. Junior Brother and I have completed the mission and will report to the sect" Putri said. She empathized with the word 'Junior Brother'. It told Su Hua, Alex's identity. He was one of the mbers of Heavenly Sword Sect, especially the Ninth Peak.
Su Hua frowned, he rembered that Alex had said he wouldn't take any teacher or master. But, Putri said he was her Junior Brother. If his mory served him right, Putri should be a disciple of the ninth elder in Heavenly Sword Sect. Was Alex said a lie back then? But he suddenly recalled the special system in Heavenly Sword Sect, it was ntor System. He imdiately understood.
'So that is their move.'
Su Hua clicked his tongue again. He had made the sa move as Conn. He tried really hard to tell the Sect Master in Mount Hua Sect. Albeit, the Sect Master didn't believe him that much. As such, he went all the way here by himself. He never found Alex in these few months, so he thought about giving up after a year if he still hadn't found him. Since the Sect Master himself didn't believe Alex's talent. He can't bla him if Alex's talent blood but wasn't in Mount Hua sect.
Su Hua rembered what he said at that ti. "Even if he is a sohow talented person. He threads a different path than ours. Who cares about him, we have many disciples better in him."
Because of the Heavenly Oath, he can only vaguely hint him about Alex's talent. But, the Sect Master didn't understand him and looked down on Alex.
"Young Alex, how about coming to the Alchemist Guild? That lass Su Yue has been eager to learn Alchemy. She has beco high 2nd Rank Alchemist, maybe you two can discuss your experience?" Su Hua said.
"I'm sorry, Elder Su Hua. But there is another concerning matter that we need to report. And it might concern a Martial Lord" Putri said, cutting all the path of Su Hua. If it only a matter, Su Hua might still be able to persuade Alex to stay. But after Putri said it might concern Martial Lord, its scale must be enormous. Even in the Mount Hua Sect, if it involved a Martial Lord, they usually dispatched a few core disciples or even so elders to deal with it.
Judging from Putri's expression, Su Hua can know that was the case. Su Hua can only step back on this. After all, if the sect carelessly proceeded or even just one Martial Lord from the sect had died, its loss was imnse. The four sects' relation was neutral, but if Su Hua delayed an essential matter like that. The Heavenly Sword Sect might bear its fang to Mount Hua Sect. Although Mount Hua Sect wasn't scared, a war between two sects was absolutely sothing he didn't want to see.
"If the matter is that important. I'm afraid I need to step back for now. I hope Young Alex will consider my offer to chat with in Alchemist Guild at a later date."
"I would love to if I have ti, Elder Su Hua." Alex said politely.
Su Hua only sighed, He knew the hidden intent in his words. Alex didn't want to et him. Maybe he should pack his baggage sooner or later. He sighed, 'Sect Master, I have tried. It is you who let a talented disciple go to a stray path.'
Alex and Putri went back to the sect. Song Yu was clueless as to what happened. Putri suddenly rembered she activated her token and forgot to activate it again to update their location. She imdiately activated her token. And One day later, Charya ca back.
Looking at the situation, After activating the token a few days ago, Putri forgot to activate it again so she can track their location and told they were safe. The situation was like she tried to play her master. But instead of blaming Putri, Charya only had worries as soon as she ca back. "Putri? What happened? Are you fine now? What about Alex? I should choose an easier mission."
