FAILED TO BECOME AN ALCHEMIST

After returning from the City General's residence, Xiao Tian continued his training.

"Ehmm God of thunder I've looked at this furnace and put in the ingredients. Then I burned it with fire, but why didn't the pills come out, instead they exploded many times? I've run out of money just because of this practice, Huhuhu." Xiao Tian said

"Haih your cultivation is already high, but your brain isn't developing huh. You just have to ask me about things like this, aren't you often referred to as the god of medicine and a genius doctor?" said the god of thunder

"Hey in my world there's no such thing you know!"

"We only need to refine the medicine manually, or process it through a machine. Using the furnace is just a waste of time," said Xiao Tian

"Actually, becoming an alchemist requires soul power, judging from your cultivation, your soul force should be high as well. But why do I feel strange, I don't feel any soul power from you. It seems that you really don't have the talent to be an alchemist." Say the God of Thunder

"Isn't there a way to increase soul power?" Xiao Tian said

"One's soul power usually increases as one's cultivation increases. This was unprecedented, indeed not everyone could become an alchemist just because they had a high cultivation. Because high cultivation does not necessarily mean high soul power."

"But normally a 5-star fighter can have at least 400 soul power or even 1000 more. One must have soul power whereas in your case I didn't feel any soul force at all." Say the God of Thunder

"So I won't be able to become an alchemist?" Xiao Tian asked.

"No, you can still, but you need to increase your soul power first, because controlling fire requires soul power, and the only way to increase soul power apart from cultivating is by awakening a martial spirit." Said the God of Thunder.

"But how do you awaken the martial spirit?" Xiao Tian said.

"If I'm not mistaken, today is the day your clan holds an annual event to awaken the martial spirit. Usually everyone awakens his martial spirit at the age of 17-18 years. As for your case, because you are the only prince, you act as you please and have no interest in martial arts. You also never attended that event until all the clan members hated you and thought you were trash for not being interested in martial arts, and could only be lazy. Because of that too, at your engagement many were absent, even though you were a prince." Say the God of Thunder

"Hey, it's not me who's lazy and the loser! It was the owner of the body before me!" Xiao Tian said.

"Yeah, yeah I know, you don't need to remind me," said the God of Lightning.

Knock knock (Sound of people knocking on the door)

"Who is that?" Xiao Tian said

"It's a servant, Prince." Say Taiwu

"Come in!" Xiao Tian said

"Look, I want to ask the prince, but don't be angry anymore okay?" Say TaiWu

"That depends on what you're going to ask." Xiao Tian said

"Now the prince has started to be interested in martial arts, and is even stronger than me. Can the prince attend the annual clan event this time?" said taiwu

"Oh, fine I'll go." Xiao Tian said

"Ah, I thought the prince would refuse again." Say TaiWu

"Eh, you accept it?" Taiwu shouted because he couldn't believe what he just heard

"Well after all I am a prince. It's not good if you don't go there, after all, you already know that lately I've become interested in martial arts. I also want to see the faces of my clan brethren." Xiao Tian said

"I'm not dreaming am I?" Taiwu said while pinching his cheek

"Why do you feel so surprised, and happy when I want to attend the event?" Xiao Tian said

"Because I don't need to hear the King's scolding anymore. I was always ordered to persuade you, but all I got was rejection. And I always get punished for failing to persuade you." Say Taiwu

"Hey, you're really unfortunate, huh." Xiao Tian said

"Prince thank you for coming, huhuhu." Said taiWu while hugging Prince Xiao Tian

Princess Jia Li entered Xiao Tian's room because it was open, but she saw something that made her misunderstand.

"Hey Xiao Tian hurry up and have breakfast. The King and Queen are waiting for you to dine together!"

"Eh it seems I entered at the wrong time, you guys just continue. I can't believe the rumors are true." Said Princess Jia Li left the room

"Eh… wait I can explain this!" said taiwu

"Oh just let him!" Xiao Tian said

"B...but prince, at this rate, your marriage will be in danger!" said taiwu

"Never mind, I didn't want to marry her from the start. If I accepted it should have been married from yesterday." Xiao Tian said

"Then why did you accept the engagement?" said taiwu

"Because they insisted, and my father agreed too. They asked for 3 years and left Princess Jia Li here so that we get to know each other and grow in love. If my feelings don't change for three years, then we won't get married." Xiao Tian said

"So is that so?" said taiwu

"Yeah that's how it is, but can you get your hands off my body? You held me too long, I don't want anyone to misunderstand again." Xiao Tian said

"Ah, I'm sorry prince." Xiao Tian said

"Um, I thought you enjoyed it." Say the god of thunder

"Damn I'm still normal you know!" Xiao Tian said

"I know the prince is still normal. No need to yell at me, next time I'll be careful." Say Taiwu

"Sorry I didn't mean to yell at you." Xiao Tian said

"Bwee." The thunder god said mocking Xiao Tian

#The dining room

"Dad, can I have another meal? I'm tired of royal food. The food here is indeed better than the food outside, but it doesn't taste good if you don't use spices. Even I find the food too bland." Xiao Tian said

"What spice do you mean?"

"We just need to burn the meat until it's cooked and then eat it, Dad, this taste is quite good. There are a lot of people who can't eat meat out there so don't complain!" Xiao Zhaoye said

"Yes, at least besides being burned, it can also be fried." Xiao Tian said

"Fried?"

"You mean boiled with water?" Xiao Zhaoye said

"Oh, is there no one in my new world who knows oil and spices?" Xiao Tian thought

"That's right, if you want modern food you have to cook it yourself. Because nobody here knows how to cook it." Say the god of thunder

"Well, now I'll eat what's there first." Xiao Tian said

"Hey son, about this year's clan event. Would you like to attend?" Xiao Zhaoye said

"Yes I will attend this time." Xiao Tian said

"Son, at least attend this year." Xiao Zhaoye said

"Yes my son, after all you are a prince. If you continue like this they will think you are arrogant for not wanting to attend the clan's annual event." Xiao Hong said

"Father, Mother, did you not hear? I said I would attend." Xiao Tian said

plakk

"Husband am I dreaming?" said Xiao Hong while slapping her husband's face hard

"Hey my wife, if you want to make sure you're not dreaming, slap yourself in the face!" Xiao Zhaoye said

"Does it hurt?" Xiao Hong said

"Of course it hurts!" Xiao Zhaoye shouted

"Ah, it's not a dream, I feel very happy." Xiao Hong said casually

"Wow, I didn't expect that the King and Queen's behavior at the dinner table was like this, hahaha." Thought the daughter of Jia Li

"Pftt, looks like your nature was transmitted from your parents huh." Said the God of Thunder.

"Shut up!" Xiao Tian said in his heart.

"Don't be mad, I was just joking." Said the God of Thunder.
