In the following days, Joshi and Joel continued to bring different beast cores to Alvin, and by the evening they would take them back after Alvin finished analyzing them.
"Junior sister, I think boss's brain was seriously damaged when he was attacked," Joshi said to Alice, who was standing beside him.
Alice nodded worriedly. "I even saw him muttering something to the air while holding a beast core in his hand. Now it seems boss's cultivation was also completely destroyed by the attacker, otherwise he would have recovered by now."
At first, they had thought that Alvin's cultivation was temporarily regressed, but now it seemed to be completely destroyed. On top of that, his brain also appeared to be damaged, since he often spoke to the air as though there was someone beside him.
Joshi sighed. "Let's wait for senior sister Feana. She will be able to diagnose his condition."
Alice nodded.
Inside his room, Alvin had no idea that his ongoing conversations with the turtle had earned him the label of a mental patient in his subordinates' eyes. He continued to look for a legendary core each day.
By the fifth day, Alvin had already checked more than five thousand cores. Despite the gold core he found on the first day, he had not seen another even close to that rank.
"Damn it, this thing is a scam. I'm going to go crazy looking at these cores one by one." Alvin touched his bald head in frustration.
Golden Turtle lay on the bed beside him with a lazy look on its face.
"Knock knock." Just then, two knocks sounded on the door, and Joel walked in holding a violet orb in his hand.
"Boss, this one was left behind previously," he said, handing the orb to Alvin.
Alvin casually looked at the orb in his hand through the Heaven's Eye page:
Name: Lightning Demon Ape
Element: Lightning, Earth
Beast Soul Level: Legendary
Cultivation Level: 8-star Beginner Level
Alvin's eyes bulged after seeing this. His hand trembled as he held the core, and in the next second he burst out laughing. "Hahahahahaha... finally... finally I found one!"
Joel was so scared seeing Alvin laugh like a madman that he fled the room before Alvin could even thank him.
Joel, Joshi, and Alice gathered outside Alvin's room and spoke in hushed voices.
"Boss is really getting out of control day by day. We need to inform senior sister quickly," Alice said worriedly.
"What are you all whispering about?" Just then, a woman's voice cut in. When the three of them turned around, they saw a tall woman who looked to be in her thirties, squinting at them.
"Sister Feana!" Alice rushed forward and hugged the woman.
"Greetings, senior sister," Joshi and Joel bowed respectfully.
Alice then explained the whole situation to Feana in detail.
Feana took a deep breath after hearing everything. "Are you sure boss's cultivation is completely destroyed?"
Joshi nodded. "There's no doubt about that. It's odd though, since his divine bone wasn't injured in any way. when i checked, It appears he only cultivated fire and wind elements to the master realm. But I only saw boss fight using his mutated lightning talent. I didn't even know he had fire and wind elements before."
"Let me check on him first," Feana said grimly and walked into Alvin's room.
But the next moment, her eyes nearly popped out after seeing what was happening. Alvin was dancing on top of his bed while holding a beast core in his hand.
"Don't embarrass yourself. There's someone else in the room," Golden Turtle said to Alvin, who was jumping on the bed with his back to the door.
Alvin stiffly turned around and saw a beautiful woman standing frozen near the door.
"Hehe... it's a special exercise. It's good for the body," Alvin said awkwardly as he climbed down from the bed.
Feana nodded calmly. "Boss is right. Moving around is good for the body. I'll come back later." With that, she closed the door.
Feana walked back to where Alice and the others were sitting and asked, "Who was that person inside the room who looks almost identical to boss?"
Alice sighed. She pulled Feana to sit beside her and explained everything that had happened since the day Alvin was found.
"You're telling me that boss's body and personality changed overnight?" Feana asked with furrowed eyebrows.
Joshi nodded. "Yeah. Except for his eye color, everything else changed. Even his white hair and eyebrows fell off like leaves from a tree. If not for the fact that he seemed more energetic, I'd have thought he was about to die."
Alice glared at him. "Don't curse boss."
Joshi raised his arms in surrender, seeing Alice's angry face.
Feana thought for a moment and asked, "Why do you think boss suddenly wants to purify his bloodline? Didn't he always hate his bloodlines and even refuse to purify them?"
Although bloodline tattoos appear on a person's body a few months after birth, awakening the bloodline spirit requires external purification.
In the past, Alvin's former self hated his family to the point of refusing to purify his bloodline. He detested any help that was in any way connected to his parents.
Joel, who had remained silent until now, spoke slowly. "Maybe he's going to cultivate along the orthodox path, so he can shake off the pursuit of the Celestial Alliance for the time being."
Everyone fell silent at those words.
In Celestia, magicians are divided into two groups: the devil faction and the orthodox faction. The orthodox faction practices the nine elements of magic, while the devil faction incorporates berserk mana into their divine bones to gain power quickly, though at the risk of losing control.
The best way to identify a devil cultivator is by the red hue in their mana and spells. Since Alvin's chaos element is also ruby red in color, people had already categorized him as a devil faction expert long ago.
....
Inside his room,
"Damn it, I made a fool of myself in front of that lady. Why didn't you tell me she was here in advance?" Alvin scolded the Golden Turtle furiously.
The turtle shrugged. "How am I supposed to know she'd barge in without knocking?"
Alvin's mouth twitched. He carefully placed the Lightning Demon Ape beast core on the bed and said, "Forget it. I already lost face. There's no point in discussing it further. Let's try to open the Sea of Consciousness again."
In the past five days, the turtle had already taught Alvin how to access his Sea of Consciousness, but he still hadn't succeeded, even after trying multiple times.
