William caught the bangle, as he said, "No thanks, can you tell me where I could sleep? I also want to take a break."
"Emily will take care of that; ask her," Alex said as he pointed to Emily. She was still busy talking with Quartz and Olivia.
"Where are you going?" Alice asked.
She also has no interest in going to the party. Despite it being a new place, Alice is already fed up with this kind of activity.
The food, and perhaps the clothing, may be different, but in the end, a party is not for relaxation; it's more like another battlefield, each people come with their own Agenda.
"I see. I will just go to the library and then look for some information."
"Well, knock yourself out," Alex says as he leaves the group.
He didn't directly give them a cultivation method because he wanted them to focus on adapting to the new environment first.
Walking through the hallway, he arrived at his own personal laboratory. Usually, he could see Prof. Faerith in a different section of the lab, but now she is nowhere to be seen.
Alex then remembered Faerith sent him a message earlier, saying she had personal matters, then a thought came to his mind, 'I should make a new lab for her, or maybe let her take a new one, and make a new one for me.
Even though she knows I got the blood, she still doesn't know anything about the progenitor. And it's better to keep it that way.'
'Vesa, how is the wisp of light? Have you finished?'
[Yes, King, it should be loyal now.]
Alex then checks the monster's status again.
__________________________
The Wisp of Light can separate its body and fuse with a nearby crystal, forming a crystal golem temporarily.
This golem possesses enhanced durability and strength, allowing it to manipulate its crystalline form to create sharp edges or bludgeoning surfaces.
After the ability ends, the Wisp of Light must recuperate its energy, making it vulnerable for a short duration.

"Hmm, so it needs crystal. What expensive abilities. Thank God my family is loaded; otherwise, this ability would not be able to shine.
I should give this to Emily tomorrow. I also need to buy some crystals." Alex then let out a sigh.
Even though his family has a lot of money, that is his mother's, not his. Despite getting a lot of money from the storage cube, with his expense, it's not nearly enough.
He almost goes broke buying resources for MingYue to raise her cultivation realm.
That is also why he is still stuck at the core formation's real middle stage.
He prioritizes Mingyue because he knows how brutal the cultivation world is; she is more at risk, and he also needs her to capture stronger beasts. But he feels a little regret; if he were stronger, things would go differently in the secret realm.
For example, what happened to Roxy; despite not being close to her, her death still leaves a mark on Alex's mind. Seeing William at that time reminds him of his own past.
Taking a seat on the couch, he took out a bottle of spice water. He wants to drink it as one of the effects is to refresh his mind.
He was just about to put it to his mouth when he remembered what Alice told him, 'Fuck, I almost forgot where it came from.'
Looking at the pure water, never would Alex think it's just piss from a monster.
He then started shaking the bottle, making the water inside of it stir, "Alice says this is Aetheric essence, and they use it for everything."
Many thoughts then came to his mind, 'breaking down energy into a purer form, then transforming it into another type of energy based on need, with zero waste.
A perfect energy conversion. What a technological marvel.
If I can capture one of those Aetheric dragons, I should be able to learn how they do this.'
Alex then let out a sigh, not to mention studying them. Even facing one would not end well for him.
'If I can find the way, maybe I could make the cultivation system even more effective, reducing the amount of energy needed to break through.
MingYue's golden core was now made using mana and qi, mixed like a weave, with her soul as the core.
The next step requires her to find a way to mix this all into one to break through to the next realm.'
Alex then started thinking about how the current cultivation method works step by step.
As he does this, a voice reverberates in his mind.
'Alex, how is your dungeon dive?' MingYue asked.
'Not that good.' Alex then told her what had happened, and he met with the strange eyes.
He also sent her the bracelet he got from Vesa for MingYue to use.
'So I should hide in the background while you proclaim yourself as the only heir?' MingYue asked.
'Yes, and honestly, I really doubt we are the only ones with Alucard power.'
'You mean Vesa lied to us?'
[King, Queen, I am not lying.]
Vesa's text appeared in bold letters in front of them. It's clear Vesa felt hurt by the accusation.
Alex let out a chuckle. 'That is not what I mean; from my experience, it's clear they have found a way to utilize life force. Now, what is stopping our enemy from doing the same with progenitor blood?'
MingYue paused for a moment, then replied, 'It's possible. It's been so long since the incident. We really need to be prepared. By the way, Alex…'
MingYue then told Alex what happened to her, how she met up with the Fang Clan, and how they are humans with special abilities.
The clan interests him, but more than anything, the news that Vesa can transport both of them to hunt progenitors makes him feel excited.
