Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex made his way straight to the Prime Alchemist’s Peak to meet him.

The Alchemist came out, surprised to meet Alex. “Is there a reason why you have requested my audience, disciple?” he asked.

“Elder Liang, I was just making sure you were home and would be for the next 2 months,” Alex said. “You wouldn’t happen to leave for the moon before then. Would you?”

“No, I do not plan on leaving for the moon any time soon. Is there a reason why you are asking me this?” the Alchemist asked.

“In a few weeks, I will be fulfilling the requirement you put on me in order to be approved for the Supreme Alchemist test. I was just making sure you would be here to approve me since I will be leaving this world in 2 months.”

The Prime Alchemist seemed taken aback. “Are you saying you will make the Heavensent Invincibility pill in the next few weeks?” he asked.

“Not just make, but have it reach 80%. That was the requirement you gave me, Elder,” Alex said. Liang Qulong stroked his beard, very much amused. “Alright. I will be happy to see you try. Let me know when you wish to show it to me. I will be waiting for you right here.”

“Thank you, Elder.” Alex bowed and left. freёweɓnovel.com

He returned to his cave and immediately began training. With a deadline in the future, he had more pressure to complete his tasks as soon as possible.

Alex liked this pressure. It helped him improve instead of lazing around.

From 78% to 80% should have been an easy task, especially with ingredients that cost so much and were at their best, but Alex still struggled a little with the energy.

Thankfully, he had also been cultivating on and off, improving not just his cultivation base, but also his Spiritual Energy. His Intent was improving at a snail’s pace, but it was improving nonetheless.

Exactly 15 days later, Alex improved to the point where he created his first 80% pill. A week after that, Alex made 2 more.

By that time, he was sure he could do it. He had enough training and practice now that he could confidently reach 80% each time.

So, certain of himself, Alex got well-rested and left for the Prime Alchemist’s Peak.

Liang Qulong had been waiting for him.

“Not even a month. I’m impressed,” the Elder said when he saw Alex arrive.

Alex smiled. “I’m on a bit of a time crunch, Elder,” he said. “Do you wish to see the pills I made?”

“Sure, show them,” the man said.

Alex nodded and pulled out the bottles. He handed them over and the Prime Alchemist took them. He opened the bottle and looked at the pill inside.

“Not bad. You actually managed to do it,” the man said.

Alex smiled. “Does that mean you will approve me now?” he asked.

Liang Qulong tossed back the bottle. “Of course not,” he said. “I need to see you make the pill for real.”

Alex nodded. He had expected as much. He would have to make the pill in front of the man. That was the reason why he had trained so hard in the first place, instead of coming right away when he succeeded the first time around.

“Come in,” the Elder said, taking Alex into his place where the Alchemy room was already set up.

“Get yourself ready. You will be starting within the hour,” the man said.

Alex nodded and sat down by his designated spot, pulling out Memory a second later and placing it before him. He began pulling out the ingredients next, but the Elder stopped him.

“You won’t be using your ingredients,” the man said and tossed Alex a bunch of wooden boxes. “You will be using these. I have specially prepared these for you.”

Alex opened one of the boxes and saw nothing unusual about the ingredients at all. They were the same ingredients after all. However, just a moment later, his eyes widened slightly and he turned toward the Elder.

“Thank you for these wonderful ingredients, Elder,” he said with a respectful bow.

Liang Qulong seemed happy that Alex had noticed how great the ingredients were. He had specially purchased them so Alex would have the best opportunity to use the best ingredients.

Alex had always been using the best ingredients. That was why he had been confused by the ingredients in the first place. Great ingredients were common for him after all.

Alex put back his own ingredients and began measuring the ingredients that the elder had given him. To his surprise, they were all of the exact weight he needed.

The Elder was truly looking out for him.

“Begin when you are ready.”

Alex nodded.

He was ready enough, so he began heating up Memory and began putting in the ingredients. The first ingredient teleported in and the elder raised his eyebrow.

He stayed to the side, not coming within Alex’s vision so as to not take away his attention. He remained mostly stationary.

Alex had done this dozens of times by now, spending a chunk of his fortune on this pill. So, he quickly went through the ingredients one by one.

He reached for the fruit and placed it in, controlling it with his Qi and Intent. He made sure to keep an eye on the Metal energy that came out of this fruit. That was the main issue. Memory slowly sucked away at the energy in the cauldron in order to make it easier for him to control everything. He made sure not to have it overdo the absorption or else there wouldn’t be enough energy left to make the desired quality of pill.

He placed the petals next and immediately felt the volatility of the mixture go up. He focused on this part, using his Intent, Dao, and Qi to control it and calm it down.

Once he passed this portion, it was mostly smooth sailing from here. As long as he didn’t make any big mistakes, he would be successful.
