Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex stood over his opponent he had just fought. The opponent was a lackey of Huo Tu. He had found it quite funny when the person he randomly chose for fighting today was actually one of the lackeys.

The opponent was quite surprised when he realized who his opponent was. The fight itself was pretty easy since his opponent was only at the Organ Tempering 1st realm, the same as him.

"Fight Over!" the elder shouted.

Alex walked over to the elder to get his new badge, numbered 105. As he left, he heard the lackey saying in a low voice to himself, "I must tell brother Huo. This master-less bastard is starting to target us."

"What?" Alex thought to himself, confused. "Is he misunderstanding the coincidence?" he thought but didn't bother explaining. It was already 9 PM and he was late for his training with his master.

"Ah, you came, finally. I thought you decided to skip today as well." Wen Cheng was waiting for him outside of the training hall.

"The fight I registered today took a little too long to end master, I didn't purposefully be late."

"Oh what badge did you obtain?" he asked.

Alex took out the badge and handed it to Wen Cheng. Wen Cheng looked at the badge and was shocked. "You are already this far ahead? In just a little over a week too. And here I thought those new people that keep joining and leaving were talented."

'Talented new people? He must be talking about the players,' he thought.

"Are these people really talented, Master?" he asked.

"Well, not as much as you. But, they were pretty fast at learning techniques too. Such a shame they just leave the sect after learning a few more techniques. " Wen Cheng shook his head at remembering all the new talents he lost.

"Although, they were still slow in cultivation so I guess its not that big of a loss. Some of them we actually expelled because they kept destroying the copies of the techniques they took and couldn't pay the fine."

"Honestly, I don't know where this new surge of cultivators came from, but they are as talented as they are annoying." Wen Cheng seemed to change his opinions on the player quite frequently.

"Nevermind them, since you did what I asked you to, take this offensive technique and learn it. I will come back around 2 am. After that, I will stay with you to make sure your body cultivation goes well. "

Alex suddenly was horrified at the thought. "I will have to cultivate body tonight as well, master?" he asked. He had thought of doing it once more, but a little later down the line. Having to do it immediately after suffering yesterday, made his palms and feet sweat from anxiety.

"Don't worry," Wen Cheng said, "Since you already went through it once, it won't be as painful as last time. Especially, since you also went through Mortal Cleansing. That should at least help you keep your mental bearings."

Alex thought for a second and nodded. Wen Cheng handed him the book he had and left. Alex looked at the book he had with him and read it out loud.

"Palm of the Sun?" he read with interest. 'Is it what I think it is?' he thought. He read the introductory page and realized that it was in fact 'Yang Qi' related.

"Palm of the Sun. Throw a palm strike with Yang energy from a distance away. Works better for people with Yang-type spiritual root, but doesn't necessarily need it."

"This is quite good. Hmm… will my body affect it at all?" he wondered. It didn't take him long to learn the technique, so he started practicing it immediately.

It didn't take him long to realize that the palm strike was as strong if not stronger than the fist. "Hmm… does this mean that I have something too that is making the fist strong?" he wondered, but couldn't think of any answer even though he had a big suspicion that it had something to do with the blood essence.

After an hour of training the palm, he started to get bored. He had done the same training for the last week or so and he didn't want to do that either. "What do I do now?" he thought.

He so desperately wished to make some pills right now, but there was no fire.

"Hmm… the books did say that beast companions needed no training for fights, but it can't hurt to try, right?" he thought as he called pearl out.

"Meow," Pearl looked around and realized he was in the same familiar place as yesterday. He immediately started to lay down and meditate as that was what Alex had been asking for him every time he was called out.

"Wait, no." Alex's heart skipped a beat as he immediately stopped Pearl from cultivating. "We are going to practice fighting today buddy."

Alex brought Pearl to the center of the training hall and proceeded to train him. "Alright, bub. Come attack me."

"Meow," Pearl tilted his head in confusion as he didn't understand what Alex meant exactly. Alex gestured by punching himself in his own arm. "Come hit me here with your hands."

Pearl finally understood what Alex meant and suddenly, jumped towards him to attack.

BAM

Or so Alex expected to hear. But what he heard was just a small 'pat' sound on his arm. He barely even felt anything. "Are you weak? Or am I just too strong now?" he wondered and asked.

He decided to check Pearl's status.

"Oh, you already reached Muscle Tempering realm? That is very fast. As fast, if not faster than why I cultivate normally. Are you stealing Qi from me by any chance?' Alex jokingly asked. And then, he noticed something weird. "Wait a second…" Alex was surprised. "Is your cultivation realm the same as my body cultivation realm?"
