Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Because the large privacy barrier was never supposed to defend or keep within its strong aura and attacks, both Alex and the demonic cultivator understood that one could not just attack within it and remain hidden.

That was why the man only attacked physically. That was also why Alex wasn’t so concerned. The man wasn’t just going to reveal himself to the crowd now by making a massive explosion. There were other reasons why Alex wasn’t as concerned, but that was one of the main reasons why he was certain he wouldn’t die in this clash.

The man pulled his spear out from Alex’s skull and let him drop to the floor. Despite his cultivation base, he knew he couldn’t thoroughly kill Alex in the middle of the city while remaining hidden.

Very soon, Alex’s soul would come out from the body and— “Oh, you’re letting me go?” Alex asked the man.

The man had been about to walk out of the barrier when he paused and looked toward Alex once again. His spiritual sense went through Alex faster than his eyes could follow, and by the time he saw him standing there, the man could already not believe his own senses.

Alex’s forehead was clean with not a single hint of wound to it. His stomach, which he had stabbed through earlier, was the same as well. He wasn’t going mad or anything. He could still see the hole in the robes where he had stabbed. And yet…

“What is happening?” he asked. “I… I stabbed you.”

“You did,” Alex said. “But if you want to kill me, you’re going to have to do more than just that.”

The man held his spear tighter. “Did you eat a pill?” he asked. “You must’ve eaten a pill.”

“Perhaps,” Alex said.

“Then let me properly kill you this time,” the man said. But before he could, the barrier disappeared and Grimsight stepped in. His arrival was swift and as soon as he was in there, he could already tell the situation.

“Blood technique gone wrong?” he asked.

“Seems like it,” Alex said. “He cultivates with other people’s blood by most likely consuming it directly. That is a demonic cultivator, right?”

“Through and through,” Grimsight said. “Good job contacting me before you were attacked. He is stronger than you.”

“Yes, he is,” Alex said.

The man didn’t understand what was happening to him. Why was it that he felt scared at the sight of an old man, missing an eye, and with no cultivation base at all?

He slowly lifted his spear. “I will stab you too if that is what you want,” he shouted.

Alex turned toward Grimsight. “I don’t think we can kill him. We need to hand him over to the authorities instead.”

“That’s better for me,” Grimsight said. He didn’t like killing people, even if they were demonic cultivators.

The man lunged toward both Alex and Grimsight at once, his spear ready to stab through the both of them. Alex followed the incoming spear easily with his Demon Eyes even if dodging it wasn’t so easy.

Grimsight, however, was not phased in the slightest. He simply turned, two fingers out as he caught the spear tip between the fingers, completely stopping the man from advancing any further.

He twisted his hand and the spear snapped in 3 places instantly, shocking the man. The man finally realized that he had come across a hidden master and turned around to run, but it was too late.

He was in Grimsight’s domain.

A storm of white spear Qi filled the surroundings, creating a domain that covered everything within the barrier. The man tried to push through it, only to have his arms cut up multiple times, and the black sludge oozed out of it even more.

“Go call the authorities. I will hold him down,” Grimsight said.

Alex nodded and walked out of the barrier, the spear Qi letting up for him as he made his way through it. He didn’t have to go that much further as one of the people from the Royal Sprout guild was already nearby.

Alex called over the person and explained the situation. Within minutes, there were a dozen such people gathering the barrier formation, waiting for Alex to shut it down.

Alex closed the barrier formation from the outside. As he did, the flying Spear Qi around the man immediately disappeared. The many members of the Royal Sprout guild ran forward to restrain the man, but by that point, he was covered in a hundred different wounds, all ranging from slight scratches to deep lacerations.

The large black arm he had come in with had been completely rendered back to its normal size, the black ooze no longer remaining in the area at all. Grimsight had taken care of it, it appeared.

The man was taken away and Alex was thanked for finding a demonic cultivator.

“Good job,” Silvermist said, walking up to the two of them. “I have to say though, I’m disappointed you didn’t think of calling me first. You called brother Grimsight.”

“My apologies, master. I just didn’t know if you would be busy,” Alex said. “Senior Grimsight felt the smarter choice here.”

“Of course, of course,” Silvermist said. “Great work nonetheless. Finding a demonic cultivator is not that easy.”

“He was bad at hiding it,” Alex said. “I wouldn’t have realized he was one if he hadn’t begun choking me out of nowhere.”

Alex couldn’t help but find the entire situation funny. He would have let the man be had he not attacked him. He might have only later realized that he was a Demonic cultivator.

“Do you still want to continue this?” Silvermist asked.

“This? You mean the festival, master?” Alex asked. “If so, then of course. I don’t want to leave just yet.”

Silvermist smiled. “Alright then. Get back to work.”

Alex returned to the festival, going back to helping people. A few more people came to ask him for help, and he helped them. Days passed by one after another, and soon the festival came to an end as well.

There were not many people remaining in there by the end of it.

Alex reviewed all the people he had helped during the month and couldn’t help but feel good about himself for it. He didn’t know when it would be next when he would get to help others the same way.

Still, he didn’t think he was as good as the Alchemy God when it came to healing people. The first Alchemy God did something like this every month to help the ones who couldn’t afford help otherwise. He had done it out of his own selflessness.

Meanwhile, Alex had done so because it was a festival, and because he wanted to be a little like the Alchemy God. Their motivations were entirely different.

Still, Alex felt good about helping others, so that was the end of it.

And now that had ended, it was time for him to return back to the Trueflame continent once again and train for a long while. He wasn’t sure when it would be that he would next go on a tour around the world again, but he was certain it wouldn’t be as great as this one.
