Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex went over everything and made the decision to confront them when he arrived back at his store. They still didn’t know everything, so he felt safe in doing so.

When he arrived back at the city, they had to get off their ship and fly the rest of the way back.

“I will meet you two seniors back at my store. For now, I need an hour or so for myself. If you’ll excuse me,” he said and flew away.

Neither Silvermist nor Grimsight stopped him, letting him go along to where he was going. They could tell he wasn’t making his way back to his store, so they were curious at least, but not enough to follow him.

Alex and Pearl arrived back at the complex where he and Fang Yuxie had been living for the past decade and a half. He quickly entered the complex, arriving back at his room. He entered and made his way to his bedroom. Arriving there, he pulled Wang Yanwei out of his Soul Space and placed her on the bed. Whisker arrived alongside, who had been taking care of her.

“I can’t tell what the poison is. I’ve fed her a healing pill for now though, so she is stable,” Whisker said.

“Thank you, Whisker. I’ll take it from here.”

Alex ate a pill for himself, this time using it to refill some of his Qi instead. Once he felt his body filling with Qi, he got to check Wang Yanwei.

Within seconds, he narrowed down the poisons she was affected by to just 3 different ones. There were only so many poisons that did what they were doing right now.

He checked her further and a minute later, he realized that the poison was one that was called Seven Ash Torture poison. It was a type of poison that when used wouldn’t kill a person immediately but would make them unable to control their body or use Qi, leaving them entirely at the mercy of the other person.

‘She must’ve been poisoned before she could react,’ Alex thought. He couldn’t imagine how else she had been taken away by the man.

Alex stepped back and thought for a moment. Did he have a pill that could help her? He didn’t think he had one. He would have to make one right now.

But, given how weak he was, he wasn’t sure he could make any. At least, not immediately. His body still needed time to gather proper Qi within his Dantian. As it was, without refinement, the Qi was only as strong as his actual cultivation base was. It was a refinement that gave it its Battle Power.

Alex picked up Wang Yanwei, surprising Whisker. “What are you doing brother? Doesn’t she need rest?” Pearl asked.

“She does,” Alex said. “But she needs an antidote first. Senior Silvermist can help her better than anyone else right now. Let’s go.”

Alex carried Wang Yanwei with him, quickly rushing back to the store. He carried the woman in, ignoring the great surprise, and quickly found the two simply sitting on a set of chairs, doing absolutely nothing at all.

“Sister Wang!” Fang Yuxie cried out in surprise. “What’s wrong? What’s happened to her?”

“Poisoned,” Alex said and turned to Silvermist. “Senior, can you help her?”

“Sure,” Silvermist said, bringing out a pill.

Alex’s eyes fell on the pill, immediately recognizing the pill’s veins on them. There were 9 of them. He wouldn’t even have to tell him what the poison was. It didn’t matter when the pill was this strong.

The pill went into Wang Yanwei’s mouth, traveling down her throat into her stomach. She began grunting at that very moment as well as coughed. She had lost consciousness at some point, and it began coming back to her.

She gasped suddenly, eyes opened wide. Alex held her up but she threatened to attack everyone in the room, seemingly out of instinct. “That’s enough, young lady,” Silvermist said, tapping her forehead with his two fingers. As soon as he tapped, Wang Yanwei fell asleep. “Let her get some rest. She should come back to consciousness once her body is fully healed and rested.”

He turned toward Alex next and said, “You need to heal fully as well,” he said.

Alex nodded. “Yes, but later,” he said. “I… I have something to talk to you about. The both of you.” He looked at not only Silvermist but at Grimsight who was sitting on the chair still.

“Should we talk here or…”

Alex turned his head, looking at the people that were gathered around. “Ah, I’m sorry for the disturbance. Something small came up, but worry not, nothing will change for you. Our staff will get to you soon enough.”

He turned around. “Please follow me, seniors.”

Pearl followed along, walking to a separate room with Alex and the other two seniors. Once they entered, formations covered the room and they were free to speak.

“Go on, tell us what it is you wanted to talk to us about,” Silvermist said, sitting comfortably. A smug smile formed on his face, seemingly aware of what they were going to talk about.

Grimsight sat next to him and waited for Alex to begin speaking.

“This morning,” Alex started, “I came to the final decision that I should take part in the upcoming tournament as it is something I cannot miss.”

“Of course, of course,” Silvermist said, his smile not changing. He had guessed as much already, or at least hoped for this outcome. He was more than aware of what an Alchemist would feel regarding the upcoming opportunity.

“You made a good choice too,” the man said. “Now, we only have to—”

“I’m not done, senior,” Alex said, cutting him off.

“Hmm?” Silvermist was confused.

“I had decided that this morning, but I have unfortunately come to change my mind now,” Alex said.

“What?” Silvermist’s confusion kept growing. “What do you mean?”

Alex took a deep breath. “Because I cannot keep my secret to myself around the two of you, I cannot feel safe. So, I must decline your offer to go to the Medicine World.”

“Huh?” Silvermist shouted, standing up. “What nonsense is this? What secret? Who cares about the secret of an Immortal realm junior like you? We have better things to worry about.”

Grimsight watched the two, he too confused a bit. His eyes fell on Pearl. “Were you trying to hide that you have bonded a White Tiger?” he asked. “Is that the secret you wanted to keep hidden?”

“Partly,” Alex said, not explaining further.

“HUH?!” Silvermist could barely believe it. “Why would it matter that your beast is a White Tiger? We don’t care. We only care that you are a good alchemist.”

“I am particular about my privacy, senior,” Alex said. “And from the looks of it, being around you is not very helpful in regards to that.”

“What are we supposed to do then? Brother Grimsight can’t stop using his eye from seeing what they see,” Silvermist said. “That’s not possible.”

“Then something must change senior,” Alex said. “I cannot be part of a group where I have to fear my privacy every single second. You must find a way to change this, or I cannot join this upcoming tournament at all.”
