In the following days, Sun Wukong basically didn't leave his room, staying inside to cultivate. Food was delivered directly to the door.
With Sun Wukong not coming out, Shen Lang also became lazy about going to the dining hall. He too had food delivered to his door and started cultivating in his room, emulating Sun Wukong.
However, his cultivation was different from Sun Wukong's, as it wasn't for enhancing his cultivation but for alchemy.
Shen Lang had an extraordinary interest in alchemy; his goal was to become a legendary Saint Alchemist, capable of refining Saint Spirit Pills that could alter the heavens and earth.
In the past, Shen Lang never admired anyone. During the Alchemist Guild's qualification assessment, he initially saw Sun Wukong as someone with a similar interest.
But after witnessing Sun Wukong's astonishing alchemy skills, he was completely convinced. Both were at the middle stage of the Void God Realm, yet Sun Wukong's alchemy skills were far superior to his.
