《God Must Be Lazy He Allowed a Cultivation Anomaly》38. Trade
Advertisement
Quality pills are expensive and cultivators usually rely on the quantity of pills to advance their cultivation. However, it is different with breakthrough pills. One can slowly consume multiple Low Tier Qi Enhancement Pills and advance to Mid Qi Condensation Realm, however it is not the same when breaking through a higher realm like advancing from Late Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishment Realm.
No one knows but the quality of the breakthrough pill directly affects the chances of breaking the barrier of major cultivation levels. Due to pill poison, one cannot just simultaneously consume three Low Tier Foundation Establishment Breakthrough pill to increase their chances in breaking through.
Da'am looked at the pills before him. He just confirmed the pills have qualities superior to that of a regular High Tier Pill. However, even if this Foundation Establishment Breakthrough pill is rare, not to mention three total, it still does not outweigh the value of a spatial brush.
The reason is that talented cultivators can breakthrough even with a Low Tier Pill and geniuses sometimes do not even need a pill to advance to Foundation Establishment , but it is entirely different story if it were Core Formation Breakthrough Pill or a Bloodline Awakening Pill. The pill in front of him now is considered a luxury item.
If there is of equivalent value within this trade, it is that their family name will be mentioned to the Alchemist which is like earning a big favor, however it is not a guarantee especially that the alchemist is currently residing in an Elven Clan and will probably disappear without them knowing. The bigger problem is that the alchemist might turn out to be an actual Elven.
Da'am is a smart and ambitious member of Lanas Family. Though there definitely is a risk to this trade and the loss they are about to incur is a huge sum, earning the favor of a true master alchemist is another matter. The pills in his hands are proof of how accomplished this mysterious man is.

If this alchemist agrees to help them concoct a higher level of breakthrough pill, this is akin to guaranteeing their family as a powerhouse. Besides, what they are about to lose won't really amount to anything if compared to the overall wealth of the family.
After a minute of silence, Da'am responded, “I am unable to make this decision myself. I hope this esteemed guest won't mind another day for our answer."
Sar Ula'n has years of experience dealing with people. Upon seeing Da'am reaction, he is quite confident the trade is successful. He took out the second bottle of pills and said, "The alchemist said that he needed forging materials for spatial formation."
Da'am eyes squinted upon hearing Sar Ula'n's additional request. He did not need to be obvious but old people should learn how to read the atmosphere. He extended his Qi to probe the second bottle. Upon confirming it was another bottle of breakthrough pills of similar quality, his mood lightened up a bit.
To him, it is excessive to spend so much on a single use item, but more than enough to gain favors when dealing with upper members of society like Bang-et Royal Family. Originally, he wanted to seek advice given the pills in exchange was too little but seeing the second bottle, he already made up his mind.
When Kle In woke up the following morning, he decided to tour the city a bit and purchase a basic offensive technique. The few times he went out together with Aunt Mabna'y, he noticed that there were occasionally guards roaming around making the city relatively peaceful during the day so he did not have to worry about being in trouble.
The first destination he had in mind was San Ruk Eagles Guild. Although he is unfamiliar with the layout of city, he relied on the route he remembered taking when he went out with Aunt Mabna'y a few times. Kle In noticed that the stores are only beginning to set up their stalls which means he has probably gotten up so early. As he turned on one corner of a street, a sweet aroma landed on his nose.

Kle In looked into the restaurant with an outside dining where the pleasant smell came from. Most building designs of the city are similar or rather based on an old Chinese community which Kle In appreciates most. The place he grew up on back on earth was highly urbanized and being able to eat on a country side below or near a tree was an uncommon sensational experience.
As he approached the stall, a waitress took notice of his crest and immediately accommodated him inside. The waitress was apologetic and the head chef was even summoned to take his order. Kle In knew it is the Elven Crest at work as he listened to the menus they offer which seem to specialize in hot pot.
Kle In wondered how people would treat him without the crest. If they knew he was carrying thousands of gold in his ring, even the guards would probably rob him. His objective is to kill time.
Since it is early in the morning, he is currently the only customer inside. After waiting for a few minutes, his order finally got served. It was a plate of meat balls and a soup of made from Tier One Beast's Egg. Kle In is not a picky eater nor does he have a tongue of a gourmet but who does not want to enjoy when in front of a mouthwatering and appetizing plate.
Halfway through his breakfast, Kle In was not aware a luxurious carriage parked in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is not fancy at all and as if having a visitor bearing an Elven crest is not enough, another wealthy and powerful man dropped by.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
