"Hmm… it can be said like that, but based on my knowledge, after integrating everything, we will then seek to understand all the interactions within ourselves, learning all the weaknesses and strengths, then trying to evolve it to a new level.At the transcendent stage, we will then exert our ascended core, allowing it to influence the real world surrounding us by creating a domain."
"In that case, every method will be very unique depending on each individual."
Reina nodded, "Thank you for helping me train, Sir Alex. If you have anything you need, just tell me." While he said this, Reina began feeling suspicion toward Alex.
Based on his words, he had no understanding of this cultivation realm, but with how strong he was, this just didn't make sense to Reina. 'Did he have some other reason that made him far stronger?'
She wanted to ask, but Alex's next remark stopped her. "By the way, did anyone from the Zephyr clan ever come here?"
Hearing the name Zephyr, Reina's eyes sparked with hate. "Did you meet anyone from that clan? Based on my knowledge, there should be none."
"Yes, see this." Alex's hand then made a motion creating a rune in the air, and a transparent screen appeared, showing what he saw yesterday.
The first scene made Reina's cheeks turn red, but as she realized who the person on the bed was, her anger flared. It quickly overwhelmed her mind, making her forget her curiosity about how Alex did this.
"That bitch! I knew she was nothing good! We should report this to my father."
"Why? Things are more beneficial for us this way."
"Sir Alex, how could this be good? If things go like this, they will attack us in ambush."
"Only if you lose. With me here, winning is guaranteed. Except they suddenly decide to have an immortal joining the competition," Alex said with a chuckle.
He added the last remark as an exaggeration to calm Reina's nerves.
The idea of an immortal joining such a low-level competition was beyond absurd.
But Reina still felt worried. It was her clan that was at risk here. "Then, Sir Alex, they will make up a new plan."
"Yes, they will, and that is what I hope for. After you win, Morgana will meet up again with that silver-haired man. You can then go to your father, setting up an ambush." Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
'I see Sir Alex doesn't want to meet with my father,' Reina thought.
They exchanged some more small talk, then went on their own way. Reina still practiced at the underground training ground while Alex wanted to check the city.
He wanted to see the auction and eat the local cuisine, but more importantly, Alex wanted to learn more information about the clan. Alex wanted to know how they managed their city, as this would reflect the patriarch's personality. Other than this, he also wanted to see how the spice water bait was progressing.
Just that morning, Rexar the guard had already purchased a hundred bottles. The qi crystal was good, but he was looking forward more to those who bit the bait.
While leaving, he met with Uncle Moria.
"Greetings, Senior. I thought Reina said you had some matter to attend to today."
"I just finished with that matter…" Moria's eyes then narrowed, looking at Alex. "Do you know there is a new product appearing in the city? It's called spice water."
"Oh, you already heard about it? Those two were quick," Alex asked back with a chuckle.
"I have tracked down the source to Rexar, and he said he got the item from you?"
"Yes, it's a local product from my hometown. Is there a problem? It's not like I sell something that is bad for people's health."
"That is the problem! Do you know how much trouble I have because of this?
The rich merchants are fighting each other to get your stock."
"No wonder Rexar could buy so many at once. Don't worry, I still have a lot in stock." Alex replied with a smirk on his face.
"It's not just the stock, the effect is also a problem. Some sects have approached me asking for this product."
"Interesting, I didn't think this would be useful for cultivators."
"You think!? I don't know how you cultivated to your current strength, but for us, this is very useful.
Don't you know one of the biggest hurdles when cultivating is having a focused mind?
Drinking a sip of your water gives clarity of mind.
Just a few hours ago, someone had a breakthrough after having your drink."
Alex's eyes widened in surprise. Now that he heard about it, what Moria said made sense.
Having a clear mind helps a lot in getting a spark of inspiration. This was the main reason spice water was his favorite drink in the past. But he still remembered the clarity; it wasn't that exaggerated.
It was just like a clear head after he got a good night's sleep. While he thought about this, Alex looked at Moria, seeing his horn made him realize something.
Spice water was made from a monster that was probably related to the dragon race. There was a big possibility this water had a better effect on their species.

'But why? Is this related to the dragon bloodline? Hmm…' Alex wondered.
"I am afraid this matter will quickly become more of a problem," Uncle Moria said with a concerned gaze.
If another cultivator had a breakthrough, things would quickly escalate.
Once might be a coincidence, but a second? Then a third? Moria couldn't imagine the repercussions of this incident.
"Can you tell me more details about this cultivator who had a breakthrough? From what realm? Also, are they a dragari?"
"Dragari?" Moria repeated his words while he studied Alex's expression.
"It seems your homeland is really in some backwater place. I suggest you never mention that word again."
"Why?"
"It's been ruled forbidden to differentiate between each race since years ago.
The rule is not that enforced in some areas, but here everyone will judge you for saying that. And for your question, it's someone like me.
He had a breakthrough to the golden core realm."
