Chapter 28: Was That A Rat?

Kai appeared in one of the many rooms available in his stronghold. He had already seen that everyone else was asleep.

He didn't want to wake them up as they might be having a good sleep after a long time. He simply went from one room to another and cleaned them with the snap of his fingers.

If any of his male friends saw him facing this much drama, then they will surely choke from laughter.

Even though Kai preferred the company of women, he still had some great male friends. Even though they always made fun of him, he still liked them.

He went into a room and brought out a full set of alchemy gear out of his pendant. The gear included a huge table, for keeping the ingredients and cauldron, a top-grade alchemy cauldron, and a stand for it.

Kai put the cauldron on the stand and focused. Black flames started to dance around his hands and he touched the cauldron.

These were alchemy flames. For someone to become an alchemist, a fire element is absolutely necessary for them.

Alchemy flames were used to maintain the temperature of the cauldron for melting various ingredients and mixing them to create a pill.

So if you don't have a fire element, then you cannot become an alchemist. Furthermore, alchemy flames differed from normal flames used for fighting and other stuff.

Some cultivators even had special flames like blue flames or purple flames whereas most of the alchemists had normal orange-red flames.

Now, some people might ask that do these flames affect one's cultivation? The answer was no. These flames only improved alchemy talents and did not affect someone's cultivation.

Kai took out the ingredients required for the true mind pills and started concocting it while he thought of the various questions that had appeared in his mind when he had first heard of alchemy flames.

The Kai from millenniums ago had thought that whether there was anything that boosted one's cultivation. Now he knew the answer to it.

People beloved by the spiritual energy had such bodies known as spiritual bodies. Spiritual bodies were of two types - one from the spiritual energy gathered from the surroundings that increased one's cultivation speed by many folds.

And the second from element spirits that controlled the elements of a world. Kai had met the bosses of the element spirits and had kidnapped them.

This incident had made him the most wanted criminal in about every world. But that was another story and he also had a very good reason for doing that.

If Kai cultivated with women having spiritual bodies then that would be 10 times more effective than his normal cultivation.

It took him an hour to create just one single pill and he was feeling a little light-headed after creating it. In reality, the true mind pill was one of the most difficult pills to make in the history of alchemy.

This was because it used your own mental energy to create something to stable someone else's mentality. The quality of this pill depended on the strength of the creator.

Even in his previous life, he could only create a single pill in a day and that was when he was an immortal. Now, he could only create one pill in a year.

The reason for this was that the true mind pill drains the creator's mental energy and if you try to make more pills than your capability, your mind will get destroyed by it.

Kai took out a perfectly white pill from inside the cauldron and tossed it inside his pendant. He was about to leave when suddenly, something dropped on the floor.

He quickly turned around to see that a pan was lying on the ground. As for how it came here, who knows?

"Was that a rat?" he pondered when a clattering sound started resounding in this hall, followed by the sound of squeaking.

"I know one thing, that is not a normal rat." Kai said and ran towards the place where the noise came from.

While running, he suddenly realized he could teleport to the place and facepalmed. He then teleported to the room and ran face smack into a huge rat's ass.

"DISGUSTING!" Kai shouted and backed up. The rat was about 9 feet long and 16 feet wide and almost covered the entire room. its teeth were as long as a huge longsword and the rat started making snapping motions with them.

"What are you, a rat who ate too much and became a lousy fat bastard like you?" Kai taunted the mouse before snapping his fingers to kill it.

The rat had come through a hole in the ground and he could hear more rats coming from under there.

"Oh come on. Why the hell did they build a stronghold above a rats nest?" Kai said and extended his hand into the hole.

The tip of his fingers illuminated with black fire and he released the flame with a flick of his fingers.

The fire spread throughout the nest and wiped out every single rat. Kai stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.

He looked at his cheerleading squad for the last time and teleported back to the sect. Running smack into a rat's ass had not been a good experience for him.

Kai teleported himself directly to the mission hall and submitted the mission. The elder there looked at him with surprise and asked for his sect token as Kai had chosen the reward in the form of sect points.

After the mission hall, he was about to go cultivate with Mia when suddenly, he ran smack into something soft.

"Hmmm, it's quite soft and squishy. Bigger than my hands huh. That's a good way for a breasts to be. Wait... breasts?" Kai said as he groped at whatever he was holding.

"Ahhh~"

He instantly recognized that voice as Riang stared at him with cold eyes.

Great, just what he wanted.
