Author note:Here's the chapter 17! I hope you enjoy the chapter. (Fire Aspect is coming from minecraft lmao.)
Five days has passed since Mi Liu sold the pills and weapons to the Merchant Association. Today was the start of the auction. Even though auctions are held every day, only most important auctions were held the Saturday. On tonight’s Saturday’s auction, people heard from ears to ears that an alchemist sold many pills to the Merchant Association. All the nobles, commoners and people around Guho capital tried to get some tickets to participate to the auction but most of them were all reserved. Mi Liu received from the Merchant Association around tens tickets and asked his clan to come with him. He decided to wear discrete clothes and headed towards the auction.
Before that happen, the waitress of the inn came and told him that people were waiting for him outside. Hearing the news, Mi Liu’s joyful face could be seen. He quickly headed towards the entrance with Mi Nyan and a lot of people were gathered outside waiting for him. Mi Yun’er, Mi Gong, Mi Feng and five others people were waiting outside. His heart became relaxed as he hugs Mi Feng and spoke.
“I’m glad that you are safe grandpa Mi Feng…”
Mi Feng, who was surprised by Mi Liu’s action became touched and with a light-hearted laugh said.
“I told you, didn’t I? This old bones won’t die easily! I’m glad to know that you are healthy young master.”
Mi Liu stopped hugging Mi Feng and smile without lying that he was truly worried about Mi Feng.
“We couldn’t find you and since you didn’t join us, I was worried that maybe something happened…”
Mi Liu glanced at the people next to Mi Feng. Mi Feng, who noticed Mi Liu’s glance spoke.
“This is Zhu Huan and his party, he’s an expert Qi fighter. He saved me after departing with you.”
Zhu Huan, who stepped towards Mi Liu introduced himself.
“I’m Zhu Huan from the Zhu clan. I can finally meet the master of such respectful expert Qi fighter. You can call me big brother Huan, you don’t need to be polite.”
“Nice to meet you, big brother Huan. My name is Mi Liu. I am from the Mi clan. I didn’t knew that sister Zhu Mei had an older brother hahaha… Thank you for saving grandpa Mi Feng. Here’s a gift from our family, my father created them. The pills are for Qi cultivation, its limited to one pill per day. You can give the potions to young sister Zhu Mei, it can help her magic power cultivation.”
Mi Liu smile back and introduced himself. Since he was wearing a hooded robe and his face was hidden with a mask, Zhu Huan couldn’t see Mi Liu’s smile. A flask and several white potions appeared in Mi Liu’s hand. Zhu Huan never seen pills until now, everyone in the party was shocked since they saw someone using space magic and even show pills.
Inside the flask, hundreds of blue pills. Zhu Huan and his party couldn’t stop glaring at the flask with shocking eyes. Zhu Huan said with disbelieving tone.

“Little brother Liu, are you sure to give it to us? Such precious items can be sell in the auction for hundreds of gold!”
“I heard someone talking about pills in tonight’s auction, they said it help the meridians improving the growth of the Qi cultivation… Really an amazing pill… so it was your family who created it…”
Meng Pian who was the next one to regained his composure said while watching the pills with shining eyes.
Five days has passed since the admission test. Mi Liu’s garden could only produce a total of 500 blue grass pills, 800 health potions, 300 white potions and 500 snake green pills.
Each day, Mi Liu sold 200 blue grass pills, 200 snakes green pills, 100 white potions, and 300 health potions to the Merchant Association. He earned for a total amount of 150,000 gold coins from the pills. The health potions have been proved to be more effective than most medicine herbs and potion around the city, thus, each health potion has been sold for 1 gold coin per health potion. He earned a total amount of 1,500 gold coins from the health potions. As for the weapons, he sold around twenty weapons each day and earned for a total amount of 30,000 gold coins. Mi Liu bought thousands of common magic stones level 1 to 3 and craft weapons increasing his of his doll system, losing a 100,000 gold coins on magic stones because he also bought several magic stones level 6 to 9.
In the end, Mi Liu still had 1500 blue grass pills, 2,500 health potions, 1,000 white potions and 1,500 snake green pills. He still had a total amount of 81,500 gold coins left from the money he won from the Merchant Association. His doll system leveled up to 15 unlocking a lot of changes.
Thread skill has been unlocked. Threads can be used in combat and also on doll. Using threads on doll, the user can copy the doll's skills. Paper skill has been unlocked. Creating decoration for the private house. Can be used in combat. Creations that leave the private house take living form. Upgraded Weapon skill has been unlocked. Weapons made from Weapon Creation can now be upgraded up to +5 and the bonus are boosted. Spears, shields, rings, pendants, feet, hands, helmets, legs, shoulders, waist, wrist, and cloak has been unlocked. Beasts and Dragon Knight puppets has been unlocked. Magic stone level 15 is required for a Dragon Knight puppet. Limit of dolls increased by 6.
Mi Liu didn't start to craft his full gear yet but he expects that once he entered in the Guho academy, if his gear is complete, he would mostly be undefeated. He already saw by his own eyes the power of the ability from the unique skill of the weapons. With the upgrade of the Weapon Creation, every armor gear also had unique skill on them.
Thus, by having a full gear, Mi Liu could win more than 21 abilities with his Weapon Creation. Mi Liu already made his choice and wanted to craft his gear from the elite monsters' magic stones. Elite monsters' magic stones could be ranked up to level 11 to level 20. No one has yet showed a magic stone further than level 20. Mi Liu heard from the Merchant Association that tonight's auction maybe had precious magic stones, thus he wanted to craft his actual gear from those magic stones.

Since Zhu Huan was Mi Feng's savior, he didn't mind to give him hundreds of blue grass pills and merely several white potions. He didn’t lose much from the trade and could also win favor over the Zhu clan. Mi Liu noticed Zhu Huan’s Qi energy. It was almost at the same level of Mi Feng and he was only from his early twenty.
After five years, he would mostly broke through the dragon stage if his cultivation is good enough. Mi Liu was also interested in Zhu Mei, Zhu Huan’s younger sister. He was curious about the reason why she wanted to become stronger and wanted to help her because he didn’t hate her personality and because he respects her as a strong magus fighter after watching her fight. Mi Liu didn’t really know who he could learn to control magic power, but he feels that Zhu Mei could teach him things that he didn’t knew.
Zhu Huan was still confused. He was forced by Mi Liu and in the end resigned and accepted Mi Liu’s gifts. After Zhu Huan received the gifts Mi Liu ask.
“I need to go to mister Luo Fei. What big brother Huan is going to do?”
Zhu Huan putted the flask and the potions inside his big adventurer back behind his back and spoke.
“I need to head back home, it’s been a while since I left home you see.”
“I see, then we’re going to part there. Thank you, once again for saving grandpa Mi Feng.”
Right after that Mi Liu part with Zhu Huan and his party, Mi Liu headed towards Luo Fei’s domain.
* * * * *
Today, Luo Fei’s mood was good. He heard about tonight’s auction and want to participate to the auction and buy the pills. Every pills and potions were amazing. They were tested and approved by the Merchant Association.
The Merchant Association was the main trade of the Guho capital; thus, most sacred weapons, treasures and cultivations techniques are sold in the Saturday’s auction of Guho Capital. He was awaiting the auction like a little child who couldn’t wait anymore his new toy to arrive.
A maid came and told him that people was waiting for him outside the gate. He heard the name of Mi Liu and let them enter inside the domain. Luo Fei ordered a maid to welcomed them and guide them through the domain to the guess room. Once Mi Liu and his group arrived at the guess room, Luo Fei entered.
Luo Fei noticed 4 new people next to Mi Liu, all of them with huge Qi energy and magic power. He was surprised by their them and didn’t expect that Mi Liu also had an expert magus fighter at his side. He also feels the pressuring Qi energy that Mi Gong and Mi Nyan both releasing.
‘What kind of monsters they are…’ Luo Fei was shocked. He sensed Mi Liu’s Qi energy and magic power, something that shouldn’t be possible after swallowing the Snake Deadly Pearl.
Luo Fei was amazed by this young boy called Mi Liu and his clan. He glanced at Mi Feng and relaxed his body. They were once comrades and Luo Fei acknowledge Mi Feng as a good friend of him. He welcomed them heading inside the large dining room.
Servants started to come with dishes carts and put it on the table. Pork, beef, lamb, all kind of meats, dishes and food was quickly put on the table filling it little by little.
Mi Liu and his group thanked Luo Fei’s invitation and started eating. While eating, Mi Liu finally announce the reason of his coming and spoke.
“Mister Luo Fei, I apologize you but I have made a business with the Merchant Association and sold weapons to them.”
Mi Liu didn’t tell Luo Fei about the pills, but he apologized him since he didn’t sell it to him and broke the promise he made. He took out a spear out of his space-ring and throw it to Luo Fei.
Since Luo Fei was at the other side of the table, the distance was far enough for the spear to properly fly without difficulty towards Luo Fei.
B-rank, Spear of the ancient phoenix:
+1500 Qi energy
+30 Strength
+Fire Aspect I
Weapon passive skill: +20% armor piercing
It was a spear that Mi Liu created through the Weapon Creation with a magic stone level 7. He wanted to thanks Luo Fei who's helping him to hide his identity inside the Guho empire. 2 days ago, Luo Fei assassinated a group of assassins that came from the royal empire. The group of assassins that massacred the ba clan somehow learned the information of Ba Kuan's survival. Luo Fei succeeded to caught the assassins but they won't stop for that much. Mi Liu wanted to strengthen Luo Fei and his domain to defend himself and gain his favor. He decided to give him the spear even though it was an amazing weapon. He regretted it deep inside his mind but it wasn’t the best weapon inside Mi Liu’s space-ring.
Luo Fei took the spear with a shocking expression. He noticed that the weapon was releasing ten…no twenty times stronger compared to the dagger he saw last time. It was as if the dagger was just a mere joke compared to the spear in front of him. Mi Liu who noticed Luo Fei’s shocking expression said.
“Sir, try to stand and try the weapon, you’ll see something interesting.”
Luo Fei who listened to Mi Liu, stood up and tried the spear.
Suddenly, the point of the spear ignited and flames were surrounding of the point of the spear. Luo Fei was surprised. The spear was lighter than a sword and he feels his strength strengthen when wielding it. He was showing a happy expression while swinging the spear. Mi Liu who watched Luo Fei continued.
“I hope mister Luo Fei can help me hiding my identity within the guho empire and keep dealing against the dark guild who are chasing me.”

Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
