Kle In realized that refining Body Enhancement Pill requires twice the difficult than Qi Sensing or Qi Enhancement Pill. For an entire day, he only managed to concoct three pills. He wanted to consume them and breakthrough now however he was mentally exhausted.

After dinner, he meditated for another two hours to condition himself. He hoped to not encounter any mishaps during his breakthrough. After a moment of hesitation, he swallowed the pill.

Kle In circulated his Qi. He could feel a warm wave of energy that radiated from his stomach and spread throughout his body. According to the book, this should be the time he will attempt the circulation pattern for Mid Qi Condensation.

Controlling his excitement, he did not rush given his prior experience with Qi Deviation. He slowly laid the foundation of the circulation pattern, however as soon as the Major Qi Nodes involved connected, he felt the same tingling pain.

He terminated his meditation immediately and opened his eyes.

Kle In checked his body to see if there is something wrong. He experienced what it was like to go cripple for a month when he was in a cage. He could not figure out where he went wrong.

The power of the pill is still in effect and having confirmed his body is fine, he circulated his Qi as a Peak-Early Qi condensation and meditated to refine his body.

After three hours, the pill effect gradually declined and until it faded away. He knew he failed however, he could feel a slight increase in physical strength. He was starting to regret having spent eighty gold coins for nothing. Kle In went to his bed and thinking of another approach in overcoming this hurdle.

He is reluctant to waste the ingredients he has in reserve without a solid plan.

He does not know how much it is to consult pieces of advice from experts but given the price of a simple Mid Qi Condensation Cultivation Technique, it probably is going to be a rip off. He plans to refine Advance Qi Reinforcement Pills for this trade.

Three days later, Kle In refined nine High Tier Advance Qi Reinforcement Pills. He still adjusted the size of the impurity to match the same size he saw from Alchemist Store. He did refine one pill with very little impurity as a bargaining chip. After breakfast, he asked Aunt Mabna'y to accompany him again to San Ruk Eagle Guild.

Deacon Sar Aran has been informed by their guard station not too far from their office of Kle In's arrival. After being advised that they can trade normally for the time being, he was excited to receive the boy again.

They have tested the pill efficacy and it was almost twice more potent than a regular pill of the same level. He wanted to prepare a more luxurious reception, but he remembered they must be treated like ordinary customers.

"I am grateful that you have chosen our lowly guild again to conduct business. Please make yourselves comfortable.” Sar Aran greeted as he poured tea.

"I have something to consult your expertise regarding cultivation. I am willing to compensate with High-Tier Pills this time."

Kle In placed 2 bottles containing three High Tier Advance Qi Reinforcement Pill on the table and left the lid of the first bottle slightly opened. Kle He did not wait for the tea to be served and went straight to the point. While he did not want to stand out with his pills, he assumed that this guild would not expose him easily and gamble his trust. According to what he has read so far, Alchemists are highly respected and he did not need to remind this deacon again that his transactions remain incognito.

Sar Aran himself hates senseless chit chat and prefers clients when they wanted conduct business immediately. Rarely does he encounter a client who dislikes social conventions before getting straight to the point. Exactly what he wanted as well. He did not treat the guest as a boy but a representative of a great Alchemist.

He still poured the tea to look courteous and warmly he asked, "May I inquire what would you like to know. If I am not able to answer your question, I can certainly refer you to someone.”

"Even with High Tier Body Reinforcement Pill, I am unable to break the barrier of Mid Qi Condensation Realm. I wonder if you could help me understand what's wrong."

An aroma was leaking out from slightly opened bottle of pill dividing Sar Aran’s attention. Seeing the client is just a boy, he used his divine sense to probe what was inside and after confirming their qualities, he put the lid back. He smiled inwardly as good stuff would fall in his hands shortly.

"Cultivation is all about resources. While everyone can technically cultivate, the lesser the elemental affinity a person has, the more and rarer resources it requires to advance. Either you have a treasure that hides your constitution, but based on the aura you exude, you have a very weak spiritual elemental affinity. This is common knowledge and you could have just asked your master about it."

When Sar Aran said "master", he was referring to what he thought is the great Alchemist sending him for his errands, however Kle In thought it was Kesh'a.

"The problem is your body. There are rare spiritual herbs or medicines you could take to improve your constitution but it is not something that can be bought through normal means. When it shows up, you'll have to fight with Power Houses. Even our guild can only dream of having it. It is already a miracle you have reached Peak Early Qi Condensation.

Your body develops as you grow and with your wealth, those body reinforcement pills can slowly enhance your body, but I'm afraid you are doomed to remain a Qi Condensation Practitioner.

On the other hand, if you do not have anything serious to ask, I am willing to purchase these pills."
