Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

The Mistspawn Mountains were snow-capped mountains with vast trees on the lower side. They spanned the diagonal of the entire continent and were the thing that divided the continent into two sections. People from either section, usually the mortals and lower realm cultivators failed to find a way to get to the other side and were usually stuck in one place.

There was a small section among the whole range, a group of 5 mountains in total, which were taller than the rest. They stood tall and high as if reaching for the heavens themselves.

In the flat world of Pillheaven, those mountains could be seen from far and wide, even by the billions upon billions of mortals that lived there. From a long time ago, people believed those few mountains to be the home to something more than just trees and animals.

There was something divine about those mountains, or so the mortals believed. There were sections of the continent where entire religions had started over these mountains, and anyone who didn’t know better would pray those 5 mountains.

Those people were few and far between, but even then their influence had reached just far enough that what they called those 5 mountains were now what the world called those 5 mountains. A name separate from the Mistspawn Mountain range.

They called it, ‘The Hand of the God’.

* * * * * * A week passed and Momo’s progress shot through the roof. She was now making pills well in the 70s and could make any new pill with at least 40% harmony. Her understanding of alchemy was getting better and better with each passing day.

Alex taught her here and there, but most of it was just Whisker and her own relentless training. She had made so many pills by now, with enough diversity in them, that she understood exactly how she could maximize the outcome of the process.

She trained in controlling fire, keeping the energy contained at all times, and most importantly, she learned the Elemental Guidance technique, which helped her to force energy into the pills once she was done making them.

She trained day and night for it, and if not for Whisker, she might have even hurt herself by overworking herself.

However, that also meant that her cultivation speed took a bit of a hit. In the entire week, she had only broken through one, and she was still far away from reaching the Meridian Tempering realm.

She needed a good pill, and a good few days to do so.

Of course, while Momo’s progress was incredible, it was only progress for the practical side of Alchemy. She still didn’t have much knowledge about the theoretical side, not to mention she didn’t know many of the ingredients or recipes.

So, Alex decided to have her train with that on one of those days.

Alex had previously prepared dozens and dozens of talismans, writing down all the ingredients he knew and what they did. Now, he had to have her read it all so she could be ready for it all.

Learning about those ingredients and knowing what they did was part of an Alchemist’s responsibility too.

Then, there was the elemental reaction theory, as well as information about Structure and Composition that he needed to teach her.

However, she had to wait for those. Learning about how elements interacted could wait for until she was in the True realm, and understanding Structure and Composition required a much deeper understanding of how pills worked, so they would have to come way later.

He didn’t need to worry though. There were 50 years after all.

Besides Momo making progress, Alex made a bunch of pills as well. He didn’t immediately make all pills with pill veins, only the important ones. Causing Pill Clouds to form one after another would cause him more trouble than be of help.

Instead, whenever he needed to use a pill for cultivation, he could simply use his Divine Elemental Accord technique to push the pill into getting Pill Veins and use it. It was just that simple.

He would have to do so for Pearl too, but 2 pill clouds on different days was better than doing it back to back. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Alex spent the entire week making pills and by the end of it, he was tired and bored. He needed to do something else. So, after a short cultivation session to get back all of his Qi, he decided that it was time that he and the rest went to the Whole Rose Garden.

The Whole Rose Garden lay dozens of kilometers away from the base of the mountains the locals called the Hand of the God. The mist roiled down below in the morning, filling the entire area in fog for a few hours before disappearing.

Alex and the group arrived as the fog was dissipating, the majority of it, however, was still lingering at the base of the mountain.

The gardens themselves were vast, spanning across multiple hills, all seemingly surrounded by a large barrier. The invisible barrier was only visually visible to Alex. The others could sense it with their spiritual sense, but only he could see it.

There were many people making their way to the Rose Garden, some of whom to Alex’s dismay were participants of the tournament, wearing their large medallions. There weren’t many. Just a couple of them, but given the closeness of this location with the first place they would come to after teleporting to this continent, Alex couldn’t be surprised to see them here.

“You were right master,” Momo said, holding her nose. “The scent is so much stronger here. How are people not feeling dizzy from all the strong scent?”

“Do this,” Pearl said, showing her how to cover her own nose with Qi to block out most of the scent, letting only some of it pass through.

Momo tried it and got it right after a few tries. “Oh, that’s so much better,” she said with a sigh of relief. “I don’t feel like I’m suffocating anymore.”

“There,” Alex pointed toward the gate in the distance. “We enter through there.”

“Master, you’ve been here before, right?” she asked. “So you should know where everything is.”

“Last time I came here with my Master, we only visited the place briefly. We didn’t have anything to get from this place, and we couldn’t afford to waste time on anything else. So we toured the place once and left,” Alex said.

“Still, things shouldn’t have changed, right?” Momo asked.

“No,” Alex said. “It should be the same. I only came here like 8 years ago after all.”

“8… years…” Momo said with a shocked expression. That was such a long time ago for her. She was just a kid, not even a teenager yet.

“Do we hide while you pay for our entrance, or—”

“No,” Alex said. “The fee is cheap, so we can go in without any issue.”

“Oh, okay.” Both Pearl and Whisker were relieved. They went to the gate where they got onto a line to pay for their turn to enter. When it was their turn to pay, the man took their money and pointed them toward a large sign to the side.

“Read the rules before you enter, or else you will be heavily fined.”
