Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 12:Disciple Hall

Alex made his way to another large building in the valley. This was the Disciple hall.

When he reached the Disciple Hall, once again, he was simply shocked at the scope of it. This building only had 3 floors but took up an enormous area.

He walked towards the building but stopped. In front of the building was a massive block of black stone at least 10 meters tall and wide, and 2 meters thick.

He looked at the front side of the block, and there were many little carvings on it. It looked like they were a list of names. At the top, in big letters, it said 'Contribution Ranking'.

Below it was the list of names. At the First spot on the ranking was someone named Wan Li, at the Second spot was someone called Zhou Mei, at the Third spot was someone called Fan Ruogang, so on and so forth.

There were quite possibly more than thousands of names in the block of black rock.

"Hmm… does Contribution Ranking mean this is a ranking based on how many contribution points a disciple has gotten?" he wondered.

He was truly surprised at seeing the rankings of the students in the sect. However, that wasn't what surprised him the most. The most surprising thing in this piece of ranking was the constant update.

The big black rock seemed to have magical properties as the rankings on the rock constantly changed, even changing the carvings magically.

"I wonder how they made a stone change forms so constantly like that." The game was truly amazing he thought.

After looking at the rankings list for a bit, he walked into the gate to the disciple hall behind it. There were dozens of people walking in and out of the disciple hall.

He didn't know what he was to do here, so he walked up to an elder and asked, "Good afternoon elder. I am new to the sect and require a nameplate. Would you mind showing me the way?"

The elder was a woman in her 40s. She wore the same green robes with silver linings as the other elders did. She seemed to be on the way out of the disciple hall when Alex met her.

"New disciple?" she looked at Alex up and down for a bit and said, "go stand in that line and tell the disciple working in the room that you need one." She said and walked out.

"Thank you, elder." He said even as she left and was already quite a distance away.

He went to stand in one of the lines. He saw quite a few darker green-robed disciples walk up and down the stairs, but not a single light-green-robed disciple like him went there.

"The upper floors must be for the inner sect disciples and core disciples." He assumed.

Soon, it was his turn to enter. He walked in and saw a small room with only one desk. Behind the desk was a disciple with an interest looking medallion on his hand.

However, when Alex realized that the green on his robe was darker than his own, he was shocked.

'An inner sect disciple?' he didn't think an inner sect disciple would be doing what he would normally assume to be an elder's work.

"Your nameplate." The disciple said with an irritated voice. He was annoyed that Alex was just standing there doing nothing.

"Oh, I don't have one. I am a new disciple, and am here to get one." Alex said in haste.

"Hmm… new disciple? Why are you here so late? Most already came by in the morning, and took their nameplate." The disciple started to question.

Alex gave an embarrassed smile. He couldn't say that he had to log out because he needed to go to his actual school, instead of this one.

"Doesn't matter." The disciple said as he took out a rectangular metal plate with an interesting design on it. The disciple held his medallion with his left hand, and the metal plate with his right hand, and asked,

"What is your name?"

"Ale— Yu Ming" Alex nearly said his real name out loud. Thankfully the disciple didn't catch that.

"Yu Ming… okay." He brought the metal plate to his forehead and kept it there for a bit. After a while, he brought down the metal plate and handed it to Alex.

"See if anything is wrong." The disciple asked.

Alex tried to do what the disciple did, and tried to bring the metal plate to his forehead. But, before he could even do that, a panel appeared in front of him.

[Hong Wu Sect, Outer Sect Disciple 'Yu Ming'. Contribution: 0]

He looked at the information for a few seconds. 'Hmm… so I have no contribution points at the moment huh. Makes sense.' He then closed the panel and looked towards the inner sect disciple as he said,

"Yes. Everything is fine. The information in this is accurate."

"Alright." The disciple said as he brought his hand to a nearby drawer where there were many storage bags. He casually placed his hands on top of one and brought out 3 objects.

He handed all 3 of the object to Alex. Alex took the items and looked at them curiously. He focused on the pink pill, and a simple information panel popped up. contemporary romance

[Minor Healing Pill: 16%

Heals minor injuries within seconds.]

'Oh! It's a healing pill. 16% harmony so, it's a mortal grade pill huh.' Alex thought as he looked at the pill. He then focused on the white pill. Similar to the pink pill, a panel popped up.

[Qi Improvement Pill: 19%

Improves cultivation speed by 19% for 12 hours

]

'Hmm… 19% improvement of cultivation speed? Does that mean I gain 24 Qi every minute, instead of 20 Qi now?' he wondered.

Next, he looked at the white stone in his hand.
