Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

?Alex and Fang Yuxie walked out of the teleportation building in Newsky City. The city was situated on the bend of the large mountain range, that covered it both to the north and to the west.

Tall snow-capped mountains that nearly touched the sky could be seen right from the very street where Alex had walked out.

“Ooh, it’s colder here,” Fang Yuxie noted. “The air feels fresher too.”

“There’s no ocean breeze here. No smell of salt in the air,” Alex replied. He looked around and to the sky, seeing many people flying around.

“Oh, you can fly in this city?” he said.

Fang Yuxie looked up. “You can only remain in those sections of the sky while flying. There have to be areas where you can and cannot fly. We will need to learn about this.”

Alex nodded. “Where do we go next?” he asked.

“We’re staying here for how long?” Fang Yuxie asked. “2 years.”

“2 years,” Alex affirmed. “More if I fail the entrance test to the Blue Silk sect.”

“Then let’s not bother finding a temporary place. We’ll need to buy a place to stay.”

Alex thought for a bit. “You know more about this world, so you should take the lead, sister Yuxie.”

Fang Yuxie nodded. “Alright, come with me. I have a decent idea of where we should go to,” she said and started walking.

Alex followed her, walking on the sidepath while watching impressive carriages move around in the city. Beasts of all sorts pulled the carriages, all of which looked expensive enough to buy an entire city back home.

Alex wondered who those carriages belonged to.

From the information he had, there were many families and sects around the Newsky city. The Han family, the Ji family, and the Pang family were the ones to take note of amongst the families. And the Gliding Moon sect along with the Hundred Cloud sects were the ones to take note of amongst the sects.

The Newsky City itself was hundreds of kilometers wide, so there were more than just the family and sects to take note of.

From what Alex already knew, there were many guilds and stores and special enterprises that contained people one could not just offend as well. frew𝐞bn𝗼v𝐥.

Alex was at a spot where almost everyone he met was stronger than him, so the danger around him was much greater.

Fang Yuxie stopped in front of a tall building of multiple floors inside of a large compound. There were no names on the building, but the compound had a rectangular stone board at the front that said ‘Snow Breeze Complex’. Fang Yuxie seemed to know what it was just by the shape of it.

She walked inside and so did Alex. Walking in, Alex noted a reception area at the front.

‘A hotel?’ he thought. He had said he did not want anything temporary, but she had still brought him here.

“We would like to purchase one of your open rooms,” Fang Yuxie said to the woman who stood at the reception.

“Absolutely. We have 3 open spaces. One in the 6th floor, one in the 9th, and one—”

“Just the 6th is fine,” Fang Yuxie said. She leaned back toward Alex and said, “The upper ones are more expensive.”

“Very well.” The woman prepared something and handed over two talismans. “Please check these to see if you accept these requirements. If you do, sign them.”

Fang Yuxie took the two talismans and handed both over to Alex. “You’re the one making the decision here, right?”

Alex nodded and took the talismans. The one that they were trying to purchase was a section of the floor on the western side of the 6th floor, consisting of 6 different rooms, all of which were possible to be modified as needed.

The rooms had to be purchased in terms of years, and Alex decided to accept it for 3 years. “Is it possible to add more years to our contract later on?” he asked the receptionist.

“As long as your contract hasn’t ended, you can always add time to it,” the woman clarified.

Alex nodded and looked back at the talisman. The total cost for 3 years came to be 9000 Spirit stones, which shocked Alex a little. It was actually 4000 Spirit stones per year, but there was some discount the more years you purchased it right from the start.

9000 was a lot of spirit stones even for Alex, but he needed a place to stay.

“You’ll be paying half of it too, right?” he asked Fang Yuxie.

“Of course. I won’t make you pay everything,” she said. “How much is my part?”

“4500.”

Fang Yuxie’s face became slightly stern. “Oh… I guess I’ll have to find things to sell soon,” she said.

Alex put down his name on the two contracts, writing Dawnblade on both of them. He also let the talisman absorb his aura and handed one back to the woman.

He then brought out his share of the Spirit stones and gave it to the woman along with Fang Yuxie, paying the entire price for 3 years at once.

“Will that be all?” he asked.

“That will be all,” the woman said. She brought a young lady to show them to their room.

Alex and Fang Yuxie went up the stairs to the 6th floor and found the door on the western side.

“This is your key,” she said and handed over two small medallions. “If you need more keys, you’ll need to let us know down below.”

“Thank you. We will let you know if we need anything else,” Fang Yuxie said and let the young lady return.

They entered the room next and Alex was immediately surprised by the size of the room. It was nearly as wide as his entire house back in the Poison Fighters sect.

“This is big,” Fang Yuxie said. “Our house was a little smaller than this.”

“Your house?” Alex asked.

“Back when my parents were still alive. We needed to stay in the city because of my parents’ shop, so we bought a place like this for ourselves. It’s the most permanent house you can buy without actually buying a house.”

“3 years… I suppose you are correct,” he said. “Renting such a place for a long time is definitely much better than paying for hotels and taverns.”

“I want to check what sort of rooms there are,” Fang Yuxie said and left. Alex followed.

There were 5 rooms in total aside from the open living room. Three of the rooms were empty with only a bed and a nightstand.

Another one was a room for cultivation and another one was for working. It had a furnace and many formations that were necessary for Alchemy, Formation making, and Talisman making.

Alex chose a room for himself on one side of the living room, right next to the Alchemy room. Fang Yuxie took one on the other side.

They settled themselves into the place as they would have to stay there for at least 2 years or so, and maybe more if Alex failed to enter the Blue Silk sect.

After everything was set up, they finally left the place and went to look around the city. It was time for Alex to start making and selling pills again.
