Chapter 161 - Growing Difficulties



    Then the two finally separate, Ai Lan walks into the accountants room. Walking straight to the head accountants desk, she notices the dark circles under all the accountants eyes. Yet for some reason they are still smiling as if they where addicted to their work. 

    Upon arriving at the desk, she sits down, and as she is about to speak, the head accountant looks up just as she says. "Hello, I am back. How are you? I mean you all seem like you had fun, but I am curious, is accounting really all that fun? It seems like it would be very tiring?"

    Hearing this, the head accountant then said with a bow. "Hello Princess, and I am well, thank you for caring milady."

    He replies, before turning very enthusiastic and continuing. "Also, Yes, it was very fun. We love cracking numbers especially when it involves money in particular. Right everyone." He says, causing the room to break out in cheers while keeping their focus on the books before them, and still working.. Then he continues. "While I may only have a very small part of my bloodline as goblin and am mainly human, I share the same enthusiasm for marketing and accounting as all the other goblin or other race cultivators in this room."

    Ai Lan just smiles, and thinks. \'Obviously, I should have know. After all Goblins, Gnomes, Leprechauns, Dragons, Spriggans, and a massive number of other creatures love gold or shiny things. Although, pixiu and a few others love them for a different reason, as they eat it. Fortunately most of our funds are in spiritual crystals or we may end up with a big problem, unless we come across something that eats those as well. *Sigh\'

    Either way, as she finished her thought quickly, she says. "Well, I am glad that you enjoy your work so much. By the way, did you finish my request?"

    With that said, the head accountant quickly breaks out of his enthusiastic daze and says. "Yes, of course. Let me go back and get it for you." Then quickly running over, and opening the back door, he runs into a tunnel as the door shuts behind him an locks.

    Waiting in the chair, Ai Lan looks around and sees all the cultivators of varying races, from humans and elves, to goblins and beasts. Seeing how they are so focused on their work, and so happy she cannot help but wonder. \'How is it someone can find something they love that much?\'

    Opening up the back door about 10 minutes later, the head accountant comes out saying. "I have your money here. Please take care princess, and come back again." He says as the takes the back off of his shoulder and holds it out for Ai Lan.

    Reaching out, she takes the bag, and puts it in her storage ring. Then counting it with her spiritual energy, she then says an instant after receiving the bag. "Thank you for expediting this request. You all will probably be very busy from here on. It was great seeing you. I hope to talk to you again soon, maybe we could have a party at that time. Well, I will be going now."

    She said with a smile, and as she walks out of the room, all those accountants in the room say in unison with a bow. "You are too kind princess."

    Now having left the accounting room, Ai Lan takes out the list in her bag and looks to see who she should go to first while thinking. \'This is going to take a little while, but it is certainly worth it, as these people died honorably. They died in the service of us, and in order to not make their deaths be in vain we should make sure to do our best as rulers as we have done since long ago.\' 

    Meanwhile far off in the vastness of space, back at the meteor, Yin and his master Bing Wen are in a room, where he is watching his master making pills. Yin watches very closely, as his master teaches him alchemy through example this time. Adding ingredients at different intervals, the amount of time and how to most effectively use chi to fulfill this process, Yin commits it all to memory.

    While watching, Yin thinks to himself. \'We have to leave soon, I am sure the emperor will not want us to stay here long with his men. Even if he did not mind, my mind will be more at ease when we see Yueliang again.\'

    Bing Wen however, noticing that Yins\' thoughts are starting to stray off, says. "I know that you want to go back, and we will. I promise. Although at the moment, I made a promise that I would heal Patriarch Shins\' people. Once that is done, we can go. So will you be a patient a little while longer, or what do you want to do?"

    "It is not that I do not trust you, I just hope that my friend is doing alright. He can be quite self destructive very often. Just because he wants to take care of us, he will throw himself in harms way just so we come out with out a scratch. Although we did lose a large number of us, it could not be helped. Either way, I will try to be more patient." Yin answers.

    Bing Wen sighs before saying. "Look, you are very talented, and honestly you will surpass me quickly, but do not take talent for skill or experience. We will return soon. This batch should be done by the end of the day, and then we just have to distribute the pills and concoctions to those in need. Therefore if we are quick it should not take more than two days in total. Sound good?"

    Yin nods reluctantly, and refocuses on the pill making process. While each pill has different processes, it is still very important to remember each of them so as to not mess up or make the wrong pill. At the same time, it will increase your experience and knowledge, thus further increasing your speed and accuracy in making alchemical pills, and concoctions.

    As the hours pass, and the sun falls, Yueliang can be seen inside the dome still reading. However a few moments later, he stretches, thus taking his eyes off of the ancient writing on the wall for a few seconds. Since he cannot sit, he can only jump up an swap what foot he is standing on while reading. While it is exhausting he has certainly increased his balance when it comes to his feet anyway.

    Wanting to kill some time after finishing reading what is on the wall before he goes to sleep, Yue starts running on the metal spikes. Fortunately they are rounded off or it would be much more difficult to do what he is doing. While doing so however he thinks. \'It is weird how it feels as if I am changing the more I progress and learn in these tunnels. Also, how deep do they go? Lastly, when will the cultivation begin again? As far as I can tell, I am just doing physical training for the most part, and am still mortal.\'

    Pondering over these things, he starts moving towards the entrance to the next cave as it is getting late. Although before he can even enter the tunnel, just 2 meters away he feels the pressure very heavy. With such a difference, he barely maintains his balance while thinking. \'So am I supposed to some how start sleeping standing up? It is possible, but why would this be training, and when would I need this?\' He wonders as he moves towards the center of the room.

    Feeling tired, and wanting to lay down but not able to, he closes his eyes while standing. Trying to drift off to sleep without his legs giving out, he tries focusing. But not being used to such things, he ends up waking himself up as he nearly falls.

    Balancing himself once again, he gets an idea. Yueliang squats down until he is sitting on his heel while wrapping his right leg around his left ankle. Then putting his left arm around his left leg, he puts his right behind his back all to keep himself balanced. Lastly placing his chin on his knee, he closes his eyes again, and drifting off his body falls to the right. 

    "AH!!" He exclaims as he immediately extends his body, and wrapping his feet around the metal spike he was just on, he reaches out to grab another. Stopping himself from falling he is now stuck between these two spikes. 

    Moments later, as he tries to think of how to climb up with his arms and legs already fully extended, he notices his hands are slipping due to sweat and says. "Oh no, please no."

    His hands slip, he keeps his feet tightly locked, and his torso falls beneath his feet. He then hugs onto the one spike  the best he can, and off falls his left shoe. Seeing this becoming more and more difficult by the second, he watches it fall thinking maybe he can go down and get it. 

    However about a spilt second later he sees it hit what appears to be water and creating a ripple, but as it touches the water, he watches as it burns. Causing him to feel a bit terrified of whatever is down there saying. "My shoe literally just spontaneously combusted?! Whelp I am definitely not going down there!"
