Chapter 79
"One kill wasn’t enough for the day, had to pick on the outer sect bullies?" Elder Po asks once we’re back at his pagoda.
"Well, it’s been a slow month. But no, I was just going to use Shadow Meld to make myself hard to find and burn them a little bit as a lesson."
"Being able to see those who think they’re invisible is a great advantage. Just don’t damage too many egos, you don’t want to be snuck up on for real."
I give him my most humble bow. "I understand Elder".
"Now that the obvious is out of the way, we’ve got training to do. There’s a free city competition coming up. The light sects will send their best to shame the Evil sects, luring away morally ambiguous recruits by making us look bad. we’ve got half a year to get you into shape to defeat whoever they send in the Fortification Realm."
"The light sects send recruits to a competition like that?" I ask, a bit surprised. "I heard they’re power first in their rules, but that’s a bit extreme."
A knock on the door interrupts our conversation.
"It’s not that kind of battle. You don’t get to kill them. I’m actually here to see if you’d like to join the pill making portion of the competition." Elder Ming explains.
"Surely I’m not up to the standards of the big sects?"
"Who do you think Elder Song is girl?" Elder Po laughs "Nobody else on this continent knows the knowledge transfer spell, if anyone else in this world does at all."
"Well that changes things. In my world there’s a half dozen on the continent that know a certain version of it. What do I have to do for the pill refining? Something complex? A high purity pill?"
