Chapter 871: Farewell

"Wait little brother, I will take you back," the woman offered Alex her help even as he was already walking quite far away.

"He doesn't need it," the sect master said. "He's stronger than you and can return on his own."

The woman's eyes went wide. "No way," she said. She was already in the True Emperor 8th realm. How could the man in front of her be even stronger?

"Are you sure, sect master?" she asked.

"Yes," he said. "I can't see through his cultivation at all, although it should be very strong."

The woman looked back at Alex with a surprised look.

"Let's return," the old man said.

"But what about him? Shouldn't we send some scouts to the village to keep track of him or something," she asked.

"No need," the old man said. "Anyone in their right mind will leave now that they have been revealed to be an alchemist. The only way to keep him here would be for me to act against him."

"Can you?" she asked.

"I can," the old man said. "But you don't want to keep an alchemist imprisoned. They are masters at healing you, but they are also masters at poisoning you. You don't want to leave such a fate in their hands, especially ones that you have imprisoned, now do you?"

"I suppose not," the woman said. She looked behind to look at Alex, but he was already long gone.

Then, she returned back to her own work.

Alex was happy he didn't have to fight the old man. With a cultivation base of Saint Condensation 4th realm, Alex would've surely killed him if the fight was to the death.

He stopped thinking about that very quickly though as his thought went on about running away.

Now that his identity as an alchemist had been revealed, given how dangerous the situation was with the Heaven's Frost sect, he surely couldn't stay here anymore.

'I will have to say my goodbyes,' he thought.

'Still, I can't believe they are all players,' Alex thought.

He quickly returned back to the village where the people were gathered, waiting for him.

"Brother Yu, you're back," Fan Yanshi said the moment he saw him come.

"Brother Yu," Fan Li spoke as well.

The people immediately started asking him as to what had happened, and Alex explained to him the best he could.

"You... you are a True realm cultivator?" Fan Yanshi asked in surprise.

"Yes," Alex said. "I'm sorry for lying to you. I was just looking for a place to lay low for a while."

The crowd hesitated for a bit.

"I see," Fan Yanshi said. "You... you can continue to lay low if you want to."

Alex shook his head. "My identity as an Alchemist has come out, so I will have to leave now," he said. "Please excuse me, I will have to prepare."

Before anyone could say anything, Alex entered his room and closed the door behind him.

The people waited for a while, but before long, they realized that he wasn't coming out anytime soon, so they left.

People woke up the next day and went to their work. But before they did, they returned back to Alex's house to see if he had left.

He hadn't.

Fan Yanshi came to the house multiple times, but Alex didn't leave.

The day was over, and the night came by. Everyone went back to their houses, but Fan Yanshi remained.

However, he too left in the end and went back to his house.

The next day, he expected to see Alex out, but he hadn't. He came by multiple times on the second day too, but Alex still hadn't come out.

That day ended very quickly for him too and so he returned to his house.

The next day, he woke up and went to Alex's house again. This time, there was a crowd, and in the middle of the crowd was Alex.

"Brother Yu, are you leaving?" Fan Yanshi asked. His wife, Fan Li also came up to the crowd behind him.

"You're here, brother Fan. I've been waiting for you," Alex said. "Yes, I am leaving."

"I see..." Fan Yanshi's heart soured.

"However, before I did, I wanted to give you something," Alex said and brought out a storage bag.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Look yourself," Alex tossed the storage bag over to him.

Fan Yanshi looked at what was in the bag and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by it all.

"This is?" he asked.

"Some things I have no need for at the moment, so I would like to give them to the village," Alex said.

"Inside are many different pills, formations, and talismans, all of which I made myself and which I had spare of. They will be useless to me very soon, so I hope to put them to better use," Alex said.

"Some of them are for harming others, so please be careful when you use them. Most of them can harm True realm cultivators," Alex said. Most could also hurt early Saint condensation cultivators, but Alex didn't want to mention that.

"What?" Fan Yanshi looked up in surprise.

"There are also weapons and shields. Although they aren't as plentiful as the other things I'm afraid," Alex said.

Fan Yanshi checked the storage bag and there were dozens of weapons and shields and armors. No way could this not be considered plenty.

Then, he saw another thing and he couldn't help but be scared for a second.

"Brother Yu, this... we can't take this," he said. There were nearly 5 thousand True spirit stones.

To Alex, it was a small change of spirit stones, but to these people, it was nearly 5 years' worth of work.

"Take them, and use them in cases of emergencies," Alex said. "Also."

Alex tossed him another storage bag, which Fan Yanshi slowly opened.

"The boat? You're giving us the boat? Don't you need it?" Fan Yanshi asked.

"I fly way faster without the boat," Alex said with a smile. Then, he brought out a bunch of talismans and hesitated for a bit.

He took out one talisman before giving them to Fan Li.

"These are all information I could write down about gardening and plants," Alex said. "There are some recipes on medicinal pastes as well as a basic introduction to alchemy, formations, talismans, and scripts if anyone of you wishes to practice."

"Thank you," she said softly. Although the paper talismans were light as a feather, they felt heavy in her hand.

"That's all," Alex said. "Now I must leave."

"Will you come to visit us again?" Fan Yanshi asked.

"If I can," Alex said. "I can't make promises, but I will try."

"Where will you be going?" Fan Li asked.

"Out of the State of Xue," Alex said. "I need to go somewhere where the Heaven's Frost sect won't be able to reach me."

Alex said and walked away, but the talisman in his hand made it hard for him to say his farewell.

He contemplated on whether to give it or not.

"Brother Yu?" Fan Li called him when he wasn't doing anything.

Alex sighed. He didn't have the right to keep this knowledge. "Sister Li, can you come here please," he said.

Fan Li walked up to him with curiosity on her face. "What is it?" she asked.

"Here," he gave her the talisman. "You guys deserve to know this. I've known it for over a decade now."

Fan Li took the talisman and read it quickly. As she did, her eyes went wide and tears filled them quickly.

"Brother Fan, everyone," Alex spoke out loud. "Sister Li."

"Farewell."

Alex flew off.

Fan Li remained there with her hands on her mouth as she read the talisman over and over and over again.

The talisman said that the person responsible for sending all the players here was looking for a way to bring them all back, and in just two more decades, he would do it.

"What is it? Why are you crying?" Fan Yanshi asked as he approached his wife, who simply handed him the talisman.

As Fan Yanshi read the talisman he too started getting emotional and his hands started shaking.

"We found our way back home," Fan Yanshi shouted and started crying with tears and snot dripping down his face. He immediately hugged his wife who started weeping all out as well.

"We're going home, Emily. We're going home."
