Rise of the White Dragon

"You 22 there, I'm also going to make a matrix, and each one of you can stay one hour in it and then change people," Luan said to Elias, Chloe, and the rest.

"Catharina, Cristina, mother, Amanda, Monica, Sebastian, Arlinda, Alice, and Leticia are going to use this one." Luan created another Matrix and said, "It's the same as for them, 1 hour for each person."

"Why do yours and Ingrid's look different?" Catharina asked.

"Clearly, because we are stronger. The most you can stand is 1 hour. Ingrid and I are already in the Second Order, and personally, I'm almost in the Third Order." Luan said,

"Ingrid, you go first," Luan said.

"Are you sure?" Ingrid asked.

"Yes, if I go, I might end up using all of the Qi from the Monster Cores," Luan said.

"..."

Yes, she forgot what a monster Luan was...

Seeing that everyone began to occupy themselves if he wasn't meditating on the pentagrams, he was executing technique strokes.

Getting a very much-requested oven, Luan started preparing to create pills. This oven was something he got from the dynasty of China. It was a very good relic for alchemy. Before, one family had used it only as decoration, but after Luan 'threw' a lot of dollars at them, they decided to sell.

On the oven, there was a coiled green dragon and a red dragon on the other side. When the flames came into contact with the furnace, the two dragons appeared to be alive.

Cutting a piece of the 300-year-old Mandrake, taking a petal of a Death Flower after refining it with Negative Dragon Qi, Luan placed a mouthful of water he had picked up near a volcano. It was special water that had survived the temperature of the volcano, and it had a lot of protein. The blood of a Third Order Lion King monster was also dumped inside.

"Poof!"

Smoke rose, but this was common. Soon it stabilized and Luan continued with the final touch of putting in his Negative Qi. Covering the oven, the green and red dragons made ratcheting sounds as they began to move from side to side.

Luan put all his mental power into force. The creation of the pill depended not only on the ingredients but on the process. If for a moment Luan got distracted, he could screw it up. But how with Luan's years of experience would he let such a 'low-grade' pill fail?

Of course, even though he said it was low-grade, it was a pill that equaled the Third Order, but he even adapted it so someone in the First Order could use it. 20 minutes later, he opened the lid; 10 golden pills appeared.

Those closest to Luan began to drool. The smell was very seductive for those who cultivated. It was as if every cellular particle in their bodies wanted that pill.

"Elias, come here," Luan called out.

"Yes?"

"Here, take these 10 pills and give them to those who are going to meditate on the pentagram. By the way, whoever has already eaten one cannot have another one, at least not today. They have a high concentration of Qi. As much as they are of benefit, if you use too much, your body could explode like a grenade that had the pin pulled."

"Don't you think your analogy is a bit crude?" Elias laughed.

"But it is understood, yes?" Luan didn't even blush.

"Yes, yes. I'm going then." Elijah left.

Luan went back to the same process, only faster than before. 15 minutes later, another 10 pills were ready. "Mom, come here."

"Is it the same thing you gave Elijah? I saw that whoever ate one emitted a powerful aura," Maira said.

"Yes, it's the same. This will help to increase your power. This pill is an adaptation of Collecting Qi with a chance to have enlightenment. In other words, you have a great chance of leveling up or going up a Realm if you're lucky," Luan explained.

"Oh, this is better than I expected." Maira was surprised and smiled.

"Yes, so don't let them waste it, and see if they're training diligently." Luan handed the 11 pills to her. Yes, 11 pills, this time he had managed to make one more.

It had been 35 minutes. He had time to make two more batches. Said and done, 30 minutes later, Luan made another 22 pills.

They were all in a shiny jar. It looked like a candy jar. But of course, each such pill if it were on the black market could be sold for thousands of dollars. But Luan was not short of money. He didn't need to sell, but rather, strengthen himself and his family. It was at this point that Ingrid also finished her meditation.

"Now, train the body. Do some exercises. I created one in the pentagram to meditate with after you do the body exercises. By the way, take a pill like that. Use it when you meditate."

"Okay." Ingrid took one and asked, "But what is this?"

"Very similar to the Qi collection pill, but with a lot more Qi concentration, and it has a chance of granting enlightenment, meaning it can cause a breakthrough if you find yourself at a bottleneck," Luan explained.

"Oh, that's a good thing." Ingrid smiled.

"Luan…" Elias came back.

"Yes?" Luan, who was about to meditate, was stopped by Elijah.

"After training all morning, some of the group are already getting tired. Should I let them rest?" Elijah asked.

"Rest? No, take these pills. That way they will feel refreshed." Luan handed him the Qi and Vigor Restoration Pills.

"Isn't that rare? Isn't it better to just rest?" Elijah asked.

"Stop asking questions. Just do what I say. If it was a waste, of course I wouldn't ask you to do that. Elias, seriously, it seems like you don't know me." Luan rolled his eyes.

"Yes, yes, I know you don't like to waste resources." Elias left.

Luan swallowed a pill and sat down in the middle of the pentagram. When he started to cultivate, everything lit up. A pillar of Qi formed, and Qi and more Qi gathered around it. The surrounding crystals already showed signs of cracking. Ingrid saw this and was quick to switch to new Monster Cores.

"My God!"

"Why didn't this happen when it was our turn?"

"Sigh, Master Luan is a Cultivation Monster."

'Yes, the comparisons are hateful..."

In Luan's body, the Qi grew more and more. He only felt gongs playing in his body and his power increasing. In less than 30 minutes he had already increased more than 5 times with his Qi, and it still showed no sign of stopping. Worse, it seemed to pick up pace, even the island's Qi seemed to be running low.

"Stop meditating!" Elijah warned. Maira did the same too.

As long as Luan was cultivating, they would only be making a vain effort. All the Qi would go to him, and in a tug of war, whoever can pull the Qi would be the victor. It was child's play, of course, it would all go to Luan.

'LV6 Bone Refining...' Even Luan was panting with pleasure. He didn't expect to be enlightened. Not losing concentration he continued.

Ingrid beside him, kept an eye on the crystals. When she saw that one would crack, she changed it out for a new one.

'Now.' Seeing it crack again, she took another five Monster Cores and switched them for cracked ones.

Ingrid, seeing Luan so serious, surrounded by a pillar of Qi, felt full of emotions: they were happiness, pride, desire, among other emotions.
