Chapter 84: Teleportation

Alex practically ran to reach the garden after learning the new technique. He couldn't wait to learn the technique, so needed to finish his work fast.

'Is it really teleportation?' he was getting a little excited.

He greeted the two elders and was handed the lists to the ingredients. He immediately walked in to start looking for the ingredients. He was looking around with his spiritual sense when he stopped.

There were absolutely no lanterns in the alchemy garden as anyone allowed to enter there was usually elders or other people with authority who already had great eyesight and could see everything in the garden clearly, even at night.

But just because someone could see at night, didn't mean there was light there. Which meant,

"It's all shadows!!" Alex got excited and decided to try out the technique right now.

The Immortal Concealing technique was one that worked on its own and he himself didn't have to do anything. So, this was the first time he was truly using an Immortal grade technique.

The alchemy gardens were forbidden grounds in the sect as they were too precious to let just about anyone in it. So, in order to not make some stupid mistakes and accidentally destroy some plants, he decided to use Focus mode.

Ever since he learned spiritual sense, he had no longer required Focus mode. His mind was just that quick at processing the information he obtained. Especially during alchemy, Spiritual sense had made focus mode pretty much redundant.

Still, Focus mode was amazing at amplifying the 6 senses of a cultivator and elevating their entire state of awareness to another level.

As soon as he activated Focus mode, Alex felt like he had breathed in a new life. Everything started looking so vibrant again. The numerous smells of the alchemy ingredients fragrantly drifting in the air made his nose tingle a little.

The cool air of night made his skin refreshed and he could hear the rustling of leaves and plants from far away.

Although everything was bright to his eyes, he knew they were all dark in reality. So, he started activating his technique. He looked inside of him with his senses and saw a flash of multicolored light before it vanished and he saw his qi.

The yellow in his Qi reminded him of the Yang jade he intakes just a few hours ago. Slowly, the Qi started moving around his body. His Qi moved along the familiar meridians taking a different path.

It moved towards his eyes and brain, and suddenly spots around him started to light up. The spots closer to him had less light, while the ones further had more. The furthest spot was no more than 10 meters away from him.

He used his spiritual sense and realized similar things were happening all around him even without his vision. The Qi suddenly stopped moving when it reached his head, and the light stayed lit up all around him.

'What's happening? Am I supposed to choose a spot right now?' he focused and looked at a spot that was open and not near any ingredients. Suddenly, the Qi started flowing once more, and he felt as if his entire world disappeared.

The world appeared once more, but he was no longer where he had been before. He had teleported to the spot he thought of. The juxtaposition of the previous senses followed by the instant shift to the new senses caused him to not realize what was happening for a brief moment.

He collected himself and looked where he was. He was facing the same direction he had been before and had teleported to the exact spot he thought of. He felt his Qi and found almost none of it had been used.

'I can do this for a long time.' He started moving his qi once more and spots of light started appearing in his vision. This time he chose one that was the furthest away.

The Qi started moving once more from his head, but it took a while before his teleportation activated. Once more, the sudden change was too much for even his spiritual sea enhanced brain to handle.

'I need to practice more.'

He teleported around the place while picking the ingredients at the same time. It took him quite a while to finish picking up the ingredients on this alchemy garden.

He walked out of the garden after a while and met the agitated faces of the two elders.

"Disciple Yu, is something going on inside? We were worried about you. You took so long." Elder Zhan said.

"That's right. We thought you might have fainted or something. Or did you find another set of ingredients missing?" Elder Wang seemed pretty worried too.

'Why are they so worried about me? It's not like I took a lot of ti ' he looked at the clock on the top right corner of his vision and realized it was nearly midnight.

"What? It's been 3 hours?" he was shocked. Elder Wang and Elder Zhan got a little startled seeing his sudden shouting. Alex looked back at the elders and said,

"I'm so sorry elder. I learned a new technique today and was practicing it inside while picking the ingredients. I somehow completely lost the track of time. I will go and pick the ingredients from the next garden immediately."

He said and ran off towards the other garden. He didn't practice his technique in this garden so it only took him about half an hour to finish.

"Here you go, Elders." He handed the ingredients and bid them farewell for the day.

He was near the second garden, which was close to the disciple's hall, so he decided to go register the pills he had made today. He looked towards the direction he needed to go and thought about using the technique.

He started moving his Qi to teleport a bit away, but when the time came for the spots to light up, not a single light appeared near him, aside from a few near the bases of the different buildings. Everything else was lit up like the day.

Since he had nowhere to teleport to, he decided not to, except

"Wait how do I stop this?"
