Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy,1270 Returning - Read free novels online

With Ronron off to the sect with his mother, and his clone and aunt off to the city with his father, Alex was alone in the house and finally had some time to work on the pills.

He had spent the previous night going through what he needed to do while he was here. There were mainly three things he thought he needed to do, one of which he wanted to do before he left for the Luminance Empire.

The first one was to provide some alchemy lectures in the Hong Wu sect, which would help everyone evolve into better Alchemists.

The second one was to provide pill recipes that he had perfected over the course of the past few decades.

Finally, the third thing he needed to do, he decided to do so immediately.

Unlike the Hong Wu sect, Alex hadn’t had the authority to make changes to the TIger sect, so he had to start with the Hong Wu sect.

He left the house and went over to the Hong Wu sect where he met up with the sect leader Shao Chun to discuss a few things.

“You… you are really going to do this?” she asked with an expression on her face that was beyond just shocked.

She couldn’t imagine something like this was even possible for someone to have and walk around with. Were the lands beyond the ocean that much better than just anyone could walk around with these things?

“Where do you think is the best place for it?” Alex asked.

“I… ” Shao Chun had to make the decision very carefully. “Past the river.”

“Absolutely,” she said. “That is the best place.”

“Alright,” Alex said. “Then I shall head over there and get started in a few minutes. Please inform the disciples to not cross the river in the meantime.’

“Right away,” Shao Chun said and got to work.

Alex went by a few minutes later and the entire area past the river in the Forbidden Fields was devoid of any students.

Shao Chun flew in the distance and watched Alex. Alex carefully checked the ground below him before he could start.

There were a few requirements for the type of land for it to work. The land had to be soft, there shouldn’t be any pockets of water underneath and finally, there shouldn’t be another spirit vein down below.

After all, what Alex was going to do was place a saint spirit vein of his own into the ground below.

Shao Chun had chosen this location since it was the furthest away from any civilization and could thus be used by the sect before the Qi in the saint spirit vein could reach elsewhere.

The ground below had restored itself not long ago from being a desert, but the deep underground was still mostly dry and fluffy, without any massive rocks in it.

And because of the Nine Yang Divine Tree’s dominating aura, all spirit veins in the area seemed to have been destroyed in the thousand years it had taken for the fruit to ripen.

As such, the ground below was perfect.

Alex placed his palm facing the ground and pushed the air. The ground below him caved as a large plume of sand flew into the sky, surprising everyone. He flexed his palm a little, testing out if he had lost any strength.

From what he could see, getting rid of his White Tiger’s blood hadn’t negatively affected him in any way other than simply his blood aura, which was now just a few realms above his own cultivation base.

Besides his physical body, his blood was now the second worst among his 5 types of strength.

Sword Aura came in third in overall strength and his Qi came in 2nd with his cultivation base being equivalent to a Saint Core 9th realm in terms of strength.

Finally, it was his Dao that was the main source of his strength at the moment.

Alex pulled out one of the many storage bags he had brought along from the Southern Continent. All of these bags contained spirit veins that he had brought back to return to the Western Continent.

Ever since he had learned about the war that took place between the Western Continent and the other 3 continents, he had felt bad about the Western Continent having to lose so much during the war.

When in Southern Continent, he had stripped away the stolen saint spirit veins so he could return them to the Western Continent when he had the chance. Now that he had, he had brought back the 56 saint spirit veins so he could give it back to the Western Continent.

However, before he came back, he had come across another problem with returning the spirit veins.

Who exactly did he return them to?

The Western Continent wasn’t under a single rule, so he couldn’t return it to just one group. Then did he return half to the Crimson Empire and a half to the Luminance empire?

That would make sense but one needed it more than the other. So he had wondered if he should give the Crimson Empire more veins than the Luminance empire.

Also, what about the beast realm? The beast realm was a significant portion of the land in the Western Continent and they were the true rulers too, but they held no power anymore either.

All these problems had caused Alex quite a bit of a headache as there was no one else to make the decision for him.

That was of course until Alex returned and found out that the Western Continent did in fact have someone that could represent all of it.

Bai Jingshen.

So, he returned the spirit veins to Bai Jingshen. However, the white tiger didn’t want those spirit veins at all. The beast realm hadn’t lost many saint spirit veins, so he didn’t need it back.

“Then what do I do with it?” Alex had asked him. The answer he got back was almost mind-opening for him.

“Do whatever you want.”

Whatever he wanted. Alex hadn’t considered he could do what he wanted with these spirit veins as he didn’t believe they were his own. However, now that the ruler of the continent had given him permission, he was doing whatever he wanted with these spirit veins.

The long, white worm-like spirit veins with myriad different roots came out of the storage bag and fell to the ground below him where he had made a hole just before.

There needed to be no order to the way a spirit vein was placed, so Alex simply placed it in the hole and quickly covered the hole.

Once it was covered, he floated down to the ground and waited for it. Shao Chun landed next to him as well and looked around. “Is it done?” she asked.

“Hmm…” Alex didn’t immediately answer and waited for it. The sect leader was worried that something had gone wrong, but seeing Alex suddenly smile, she retracted her worry.

“It’s done,” he said. “It has started giving off Saint Qi.”

Shao Chun’s eyes went wide in surprise. She knew what was happening, but she still couldn’t believe that it had happened.

“Congratulations,” Alex said. “Now you and the rest have a chance to enter the Saint realm as well.”
