《God Must Be Lazy He Allowed a Cultivation Anomaly》30. Trade

Trade
It has been a week and a half since Kle In stared refining Foundation Establishment Breakthrough Pills. Yesterday was the fourth batch. He clearly remembered he only needed to surrender a total of five pills not five sets of ingredients. He currently has nine High Tier Pills.
He still does not understand why the Tier II Alchemist he saw on the crystal recording nor Alchemist Agda could not concoct High Tier Pills like him. He suspects they were not displaying their true capabilities. Having met beyond his quota, he decided to give Deacon Sar Aran a visit.
Before Kle In could step before the gates of the guild, someone already received and led them to Sar Aran's office. Like usual, Sar Aran prepared them tea.
"It was not easy refining these pills", Kle In said as he placed two bottles containing three pills each.
Sar Aran took the bottles and opened the lid. He used his Divine Sense and Qi to block the pill fragrance from leaking out as he probed the pills. He was expecting Mid-Tier Pills but upon confirming it was High Tier, he instinctively stored it in his spatial ring and probed around the room to make sure no one else was around.
There were many things running through his mind. While they are allowed to purchase pills Kle In sells, they should not in any way initiate a trade. On that day after learning that Kle In will probably become a sacrifice, he still asked the consent from an elder, but he was advised he could only do this once. Greed is slowly taking over him especially the extra sixth pill. As a Deacon for so many years, there were times he was able to embezzle funds, but he never abused it.
Kle In noticed the shift in Sar Aran's attitude. Though he did not know the actual value of Foundation Establishment Breakthrough pill, he may now have an idea how precious they are base on Sar Aran's reaction.

"I am in need of Formation Books, Spatial Formation related books to be precise. I need materials for crafting and if you have recording crystals as well, it would be greatly appreciated."
Sar Aran came back to his senses when he heard Kle In's request. It dawned to him he made a mistake. He should have had confirmed firstly what Kle In wanted in return for refining the pills.
They could easily obtain elemental materials but not spatial. Even wealthy merchants or distinguished factions or sects would not even display them. The biggest problem is the price. The pills are definitely rare but the value would not even come close to Spatial Formation materials. He smiled and hoped to convince Kle In.
"If you need bigger spatial ring, I can easily arrange one for you. However, materials for crafting spatial storage can be a bit tricky. Excluding the rarity of the materials, Major Sects tend to monopolize them making it impossible even for regular sects to procure the items let alone a nameless faction like us. But the biggest issue is the cost. While...”
"I only need you to try", Kle In interrupted as he placed two more bottles each containing 3 pills.
"I want the last pill traded for gold coins."
Kle In got up to his feet getting ready to leave. "I completely respect your time so I do not want to force my presence any further."
After an hour, Kle In left after receiving at least thirty thousand gold coins. The currency used in the cultivation world is Qi Crystals and a Low Tier Foundation Establishment Breakthrough pill could easily fetch a minimum price of ten thousand. Although there is no set of conversation standards from Qi Crystals to Gold coins, as long as the involved parties have no disagreements, then the exchange is considered successful.

Deacon Sar Aran inspected the two bottles when Kle In left. He was being honest when he said that obtaining the items for Spatial Formations was difficult and worrisome but given the quality of the pills he has on hand, he believes they wouldn’t need to beg a sect to convince them for a trade.
On their way home, Kle In was looking at the thirty thousand bank notes he was given earlier. It amazes him that this world does have systems similar to earth like calendar, decimal number system, and now banks. Though it makes him wonder that a civilization could advance on these aspects yet moral standards seem left behind. He handed the bank notes to Aunt Mabna'y for safe keeping.
As they passed a busy street, Kle In noticed a luxurious carriage being pulled by a strange horse looking animal with a shiny dark red metallic scale on its forehead. Kle In could feel a faint aura released by the creature and it felt similar to the aura emitted by Bloodline awakened people he has met and observed. He activated his Failed Superman's Eyesight to observe the creature.
He could not count the Major Qi Nodes the beast had since it is moving, but he noticed it having additional overlapping Qi Nodes similar to Bloodline and interestingly enough, all its Major Qi Nodes were opened.
Kle In was spacing out and did not realize they already arrived at his residence. He went straight to his room and lied on his bed. He wanted to relax and await the good news from Deacon Sar Aran but after seeing the Qi Nodes on that peculiar horse, he wanted to know if Bloodline is something he could acquire through external means. Although he could not fully gauge the factor at which Mabna'y and her daughter has become stronger when they activated their bloodlines, an increase in strength is still an increase and should be helpful to his survival.
He decided to rest for the rest of the day. After dinner, he asked Aunt Mabna'y to purchase two small docile herbivorous magical beasts in pretense of testing pill potency.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…

Endsworld
This entire story is basically just me, having seen a piece of art on Tumblr, rereading Gerard Way's The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys and getting an idea that may or may not be a good thing?Set in a futuristic world similar to the one in Killjoys, but a bit less cynical. (If that makes sense)Please note that I've done absolutely no planning for this, have no idea when it will update or where I'm going, and the only ships in it are the ones that are confirmed to be canon. This means only Paultryck and Kim&Katya, whose ship name I don't know, and from what I've heard, Eduardo&Laurel is also canon(?), though I'm not sure if the neighbors will actually be in this much. Again, haven't planned anything!All I can say for sure is I won't kill any of the main cast, and this will revolve around the original four, namely Edd, Tom, Matt and Tord, with pre-The End designs (read as, "I like edgy Tord with darker hair"). Essentially it's their designs from Spares.Rated PG-13 to possibly M depending on where you live for gore/death and swearing-I'm not really one for gruesome details though so I try to keep the gory stuff a bit vague. You can always ask me about how bad it is before reading if you're worried it'll upset you, my inbox is always open.
