I spent the rest of the night in the workshop solidifying both my body foundation and cultivation foundation due to the sudden unexpected but much appreciated increase today. When I come to my senses, I see the sun illuminate an area on the barrier and estimate is as two hour before noon.

I enter my body to sense the new strength hidden there. My master's body refining technique requires extremely rare spiritual herbs and natural wonders to advance. Getting a boost from eating a dish made by a grandmaster in spiritual cooking is simply amazing too me. When I have time I going to learn that too. I laugh at that thought and zoom out of my home like a bird and directly went to the Dragonbone Home entrance courtyard.

As I step into the courtyard, sharkbeast rushes at me in happiness as it knows I am the only customer that order treats for it. It's happy toothy excited grin freightens the nearby customers away from me. I reach out as if to pet the sharkbeast and say "don't worry senior, I'll feed you too!" and step happily to the entrance gates. I notice there is a game going on with the new customers with senior sharky. I glance at the game restriction and know it for 'increase the fear pressure as the coin is pushed towards the goal line.' I ignore the game not caring for the free meal offered if the coin reaches the goal.

I step into the hostess area and look for a free hostess and instantly step in front of her with a smile. She gives me a charming smile and a sleight bow "young master, welcome back! Would you like to dine with senior sharkbeast again? I smile and give an enthusatic nod. She laughs and does her bow, roll her arms and then point to the gate and breathes out "senior sharkbeast awaits young master."

As I enter sharkbeast home I annouce "sharky! I'm back" and saunter into my couch chair. Sharkbeast glares at me until I sit then glimmer of awareness awaken his eyes as he goes through his restriction queue and rushes forward wagging his tail like a found puppy. "Yes, yes, I promise you some treats" as I wave at sharky and accepted the menu from the giggling waitress. Before opening, I state "I'll have the chef's choice" with a flick of a finger I presented my payment. Standing on the tip of my finger was the ornate vial of another nirvana breakthough pill. As she pockets the vial in her void ring her pleasant voice tingles my ears "my master will be pleased that you've returned young master."

I open the heavy menu and read the chef's choice and pleasantly surprise its a different dish. The title was Celestial Seafood Stew. A select variety of peak tier seven seafood and spiritual herbs blended in a creamy stew with a touch of elemental earth milk. This dish is serve with a bottle of hand crafted cultivation wine. I slap my hands together in anticipation then out of curiosity I scan the restriction on the name of the chef's dish and know is as 'if the young master returns, show Celestial Seafood Stew as the chef's choice. I laugh and promptly clamp my hand on the table to draw on sharky's fear restriction.

After a time the young man's voice intrudes on my play with sharky, laughing "sharky? that's a new one." I can sense he is pleased, he then begins with "this seafood stew I especially made for you, I notice you have the same body type as my old customer. This stew served him well." With that the first girl places a huge bowl on the table. He then continues with "this is another bottle from my old days, I have no doubt you will appreciate this one."

The second girl step up and fills a glass two thirds with sky blue liquid with a golden aura. She places the tantalizing glass next to the bowl of stew and places the bottle back into it's ice holder before stepping away. His laughter continues with "your spoiling my pet" with a grin then adds "these three treats are much stronger than last time." He then turns away and heads for the exit then says "I'm leaving tonight, I hope to see you again in the future," then raises his right arm and lazily waves goodbye as he vanishes into the portal.

I immediately dug into the fabulous stew. The taste that exploded in my mouth was like the symphony of best tasting seafood I could think off. It all melted down into a creamy liquid that seeps into my cells and soul. I can feel my Deepwater Spiritual fire affinity rise to peak tier five. Which is a great surprise to me, with a quick calculation I realize I will break though to tier six and now can be considered a master with this type of spiritual fire after finishing this stew. This leaves just two spiritual elemental fire affinities to level up. I'm pumped because I can't wait to add water qi to my weapons.

As I taste the new cultivation wine, the harmony of the stew is enhance. I can understand why he pick this wine for me tonight. It was a total luxury for a cultivator to have the chef's choice here. So I enjoyed my dinner while teasing sharky with a treat. The treats were all combat class rather the run away kind. They put up an entertaining arena show as I ate. Once I see sharky recover his injuries from the turtlebeast monster treat, I begin the teasing game again. After seeing his pitiful sad sharky grin I toss the next treat in.

The treat exploding in size almost as big as sharky, I see a squidbeast that start lashing it's tenticles against my senior. But sharky just mosey on in and begin chowing down on the tenticles. The squidbeast had a great regeneration restriction the regrew new tenticles almost as fast as they were eaten. Like a true shark, senior just never stop eating. So much that I glance and the restriction on sharky's grin that allow him to 'eat to your heart's content when it comes to your favorite squid meat' I can see my favorite sharky grin between bites.

The third treat was an gotorsharkbeast, it had a croc's mouth with a shark like body. It move just as fast as sharky and was simply a clash of underwater titans. I finish my meal and the two were still ripping into one another as they felt no pain. But sharky got in a bite on the treat's tail finally, which slowed the beast down considerabally. It didn't take long after that to finish the monster treat off.

As I watch sharky finish his last treat, I look inward to see my cultivation risen to peak tier seven and my spiritual soul force increase small advance as well. Nice I thought, using artificing and alchemy takes a huge strain on my spiritual soul force. That seafood stew really hit the spot. As I stand up I wave at sharky and say 'take care sharky, see ya in the future!' Sharky roars out a response and I hand the waitress a tier six foundation pill and pleasantly say "please thank your master, I most enjoyed his cooking tonight." She gives a deep bow and replies "I think sharky going to miss you more young master." I smile a reply and step though the portal into the outer courtyard.

Stolen story; please report.

I see sharky playing it up with the fleeing customers. I watch sharky herd them back and forth though the courtyard allowing a few to escape each time. As I step in, sharky attitude changing and rush up to me for a pet. I laugh as I pet sharky tough skin and say "be a good boy and work hard! I'll see you again in the future" Sharky then rush away to slam his sharky grin at a fleeing customer face who thought he could get away when I was distracting him. I simply laugh at sharky antics and mosely over to the exit, just before I reach the exit I hear sharky give one last forlorn roar of goodbye.

My master's restriction techniques are only at tier six so I never bother to learn them, but after playing with sharky, I realize you can do alot with restrictions. So I spent the rest of the night going over master's restriction memories. I figure learning the basics wouldn't hurt. Before I know it I can see the sun illuminating though the barrier, and with a thought the barrier vanish so I can see the end of the sunrise. I pull out my resource pouch and begin cultivating as I bask in the newly risen sun, I need to solidify my peak seven cultivation.

It takes all morning and most of the afternoon, and several thousand tier nine resources to finish my peak seven foundation. I can even sense the boundry of tier eight, it's still an abyss away, but at least I can finally see the goal that my fellow cultivators enjoy feeling the most. My only reget this morning is the Dragonbone Home will be gone, so I pull out the token that was given too me and send in my divine sense. I feel the Dragonbone Home is northwest of me and seems already the distance that would take me a few months flying to get too. I cup my hand and bow toward it's direction and mutter a prayer "Dragonbone Home master, live long and prosper!"

I zip out of the closing workshop barriers and dive down to take a look at the showcases. The place is crowded around my show pieces displayed in a central revolving case in front of the staircase. But I ignore my dazzling works of art in favor of viewing the top pieces of my fellow artificer's works. My critical eye break down each work down to their very ingrediants. I can easy see the lack of energy in one piece was the reason why it turn out as a high work instead of a supreme work. Another piece had poor techique ruins it's elemental affinity of high grade to mid grade. I sigh as I appraise each piece lacking one or more aspects creating flaws that reduced their potential.

Then I come across a strange spiritual fruit, I glance at the name plate "Celestial Dao Purpleflame Pineapple" I quickly check my master's memories and was surprise master was looking for this fruit. So I beckon over one of the nearby hostess by the stairs. She calmly waltz over and smiles "young master, are you interest in this celestial fruit?" I smile a nod and respond with "please add it to the items I want to purchase with my winnings" Her reply "rest assured young master it is already your property" she then gives a deep bow before leaving to inform management.

I return to the earthly pleasure of the medicinal store, even asked if I could visit the green houses upstairs to see them harvest the herbs I wanted. The earthly aroma is even better up here and the sweet tang of spiritual herbs mix nicely with that aroma.

The windowless floors contains underground spiritual plants and aquariums that possess tiny streams of liquid qi darting all over their confined space. Until I find the alchemist harvesting my lightning affinity and wood affinity spiritual herbs into jade boxes and store them in void pouch. The polite mother type personality fits well with this lady alchemist. As she harvest each herb, she absentmindly gives motherly advice on each herb. I let her take her time and give her some encouragement with a select point of interest now and then. She takes my points quite happily and goes into more detail. I don't mind the small talk, the earthly aroma here makes my soul settle.

I leave the medicinal shop with sigh and venture back into the air. I casually look around as I meander back home. Most of the talk I pick up with my divine sense is about the Dragonbone Home, it's been a year since it last opened on an adjacent continent. That they would open up in their city for two days was a total shocker. The only news worth mentioning was the unexpected number of breakthroughs that occured the last two nights.

Out of curiosity I decide to enter though the front entrance and nearly bump into the stuck up royal from the first time in the resource store. I swing around him and his groupies and head for the staircase. With a quick glance at the available hostress, I appear before girl that appeal to me the most and smile a greeting "hello my dear, would you like to come up with me to my workshop?"

The cute redhead smiles delightfully before snagging on to my left arm afraid I might pick a different girl. I laugh at her and check her cultivation to be early tier five and replied "looks like your cultivation could use a foundation pill" then smiled at her. Her eye's light up and purr softly "young master takes such good care of us sisters."

I laughed and pick her up and carried her to the crystal tubes and ask her about her dreams. To those dreams I would disagree with if I couldn't help with my alchemy. She gives me strangest looks until finally says something I can help with "well I do like alchemy, and I'm also a fire affinity expert." Then I replied "I could give some pointers if choose that one." Her shock replied was "are you sure you want to waste your time teaching me about alchemy?" I replied "I don't have a problem talking about basic alchemy to you even after the show is over. You can always come over my workshop if you any have questions."

I carry her up the crystal tubes to the workshop floor as we discussing basic alchemy. She's tucked so neatly in my arms and chattering like a magpie makes me laugh as I give encouraging words. I swept into the workshop and head directly to bed for some serious cyclic duo cultivating followed by same thing in the morning. Then we talked about basic alchemy for the rest of the day. I made a tier three pill by steps for her to understand what she is getting in to. After seeing each step that is required to make a tier three pill, she now knows the correct path to produce her first pill if she decided to learn alchemy.

That's when the workshop door chime sounded. With a thought, barriers open and two elders step though. They both give a bow and presents a void pouch and state "you auction winning and the items you requested young master." I hear the girl sigh in disappointment and stand to attention.

I smiled at the elders are reply "elders, you two shouldn't have bother to waste your time tonight and come in the morning. But since you are here" I pull out sword from my ring and hand it to one the elders and swept the pouch into my master's ring. "Let's use this sword for the start of the next show." The delight that filled the elders faces that I'm sticking around another month make me smile but I quickly usher them out for privacy. Then I stalked back to my red headed kitten and ask "do you still want to talk about alchemy?"
