Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Apparently, the reason Bai Jingshen had taken such a long time to get his hands on a core was because he wanted to get one that was as near to perfect as possible. For that reason, he had used his connections to find one of the elders in the family who still held the core of one of their children that had died very early on.

According to Bai Jingshen, the White Tiger that this core belonged to had such a strong bloodline that he could have been considered a 2nd generation White Tiger by today’s criteria. That meant having a bloodline strong enough to belong to the Patriarch’s offspring, or Bai Jingshen’s grandparent.

Alex couldn’t help but stare at Bai Jingshen with his face agape. Had the tiger really taken this long just so he could get his hands on one of the best White Tiger beast cores out there? And worse than that, he was willing to let it die?

“Are you sure?” Alex asked. “If I had more strength, a White Tiger beast core of this caliber could be helped in a much better way.”

“In what way?” Bai Jingshen asked, genuinely waiting for an answer.

Alex was about to explain how the better a White Tiger’s soul was, the better they would be able to help a non-evolved White Tiger go through evolution, but then he remembered that there was no need for such a thing.

The White Tiger Progenitor’s soul would be right there in the Ancestral Bloodline Pool. Technically, there wouldn’t really be any waste. Although, Alex still felt quite bad turning this core into a one-time-use Blood Beast. If only his blood aura was stronger, but what could he really do about that?

He had absorbed all the blood aura he could from every source of blood he could afford to absorb it from, and had barely made any progress at all. His blood aura was firmly at Divine Creation 3rd realm for now.

“Alright, I can use this,” Alex said. “Have you talked to your grandchildren yet?”

“Yes, and I’ve got a list ready too. All of them Saint Beasts, just like you asked. There were a few Immortals that were willing, but I didn’t choose them.”

Alex nodded. “You can send those to the Ancestral Bloodline Pool once you learn the Bloodline Consumption technique from me. Although, I’m not sure if they’ll be allowed to enter the pool.”

“They’ll have to take the bloodline purity test first, and if it’s above a certain threshold, they will be accepted.”

Alex nodded. “So as long as we improve their bloodline, they will get a chance, huh? That’s good.”

Bai Jingshen brought out 3 separate storage flasks, filled to the brim with his blood. “I’ve been gathering just like you asked. I hope that is enough.”

Alex took them over and looked through their density. They were quite condensed, although he would have to improve it even further before placing them in the Life Aura Convergence formation inside his Soul Space.

“Give me 2 to 3 days,” Alex said. “I should be ready with the blood and the beast.”

Once Bai Jingshen left, Alex got right to business. The beast core was placed right beside a Sunheart and forced to get infected. That would take a day and a half at best. After that, it would be placed in the formation along with the blood.

Until then, however, Alex needed to absorb the White Tiger’s bloodline into his body once again. While he did need to test if a Blood Beast could form Soul Confluence without absorbing its bloodline first, Alex just couldn’t waste such a good core by not being prepared.

So, he condensed some of Bai Jingshen’s blood, placed it in the Life

Aura Convergence formation, and then began absorbing it once again. Nothing changed in the Spirit roots when Alex was done. Nothing could change as he already did have a Supreme Metal root. So, the addition of the White Tiger’s bloodline to his body did nothing to help him.

Hopefully, that wasn’t the case for the Blood Beasts.

Alex poured out his blood into a cauldron and used the beast core to form another Blood Beast. The White Tiger was born of his blood, carrying with it a body that had patches of red and yellow.

The beast looked strong. It felt strong too.

Alex looked at it proudly, feeling the Divine Creation realm strength along within it.

“What’s your name?” Alex asked the beast.

“Bai Jungwen,” the beast answered.

“How did you die, Jungwen?”

The beast tried to remember. “I failed my tribulation when I broke

through from the Immortal realm to the Divine realm.”

Alex raised an eyebrow. Had the beast core been that strong? He hadn’t noticed it. “You had a strong bloodline from what I’ve heard. How did you fail your tribulation?”

“My attempt at turning my Spirit to Creation came with some complications, leaving me drained of my energy. By the time the tribulation lightning came around, I did not have what I needed to

survive.”

Alex raised an eyebrow. “Was it a strong Creation?”

“It was a complicated one,” the beast said. “It was a massive ship that I wished to turn into my Creation, but its complexity took more out of me than I dared at the time, which was why I failed.”

Alex gave a thoughtful nod, quickly losing himself in his mind. He

stopped thinking about the beast and instead about his own situation. Now that he was considering himself at the peak of the Immortal realm, how was it that he was going to break through to the Divine

realm?

Would he have to first turn every Spirit to Creation before he was done? Would that hurt him too? Would the pills work?

Sadly, Alex couldn’t think of anyone that could confidently answer these questions given how unique his situation was.

He shook away those thoughts and looked at the beast again.

“Alright, let me explain why you are born. There is a small task that I must have you perform.”
