Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 1553 Jiaolun



Chapter 1553 Jiaolun

Alex watched the darkness around the girl disappear as she appeared before him. He looked at her, somewhat surprised.

He didn’t know her at all, but he had seen her looking at him from time to time. He had seen her gaze and had even thought that she had fallen for him, which was why she was looking at him.

Had she fallen for him? π’ƒπ’†π™£π’π’—π™šπ’.π’„π’π’Ž

The girl looked to be in her late 20s, which by Eastern Continent’s standard would put her around 2 or 3 Millennia old. If she was talented, she could be even younger, and if she was a player, she could be so much younger.

Her black hair was tied in a braid, that fell in front of her, contrasting the stark white robe she wore. She was smiling with a look that hid a thousand mysteries.

“May I ask why you are following me?” Alex asked her.

“Yes, but I am not sure if I can answer just yet,” the girl said, looking around. “Your Majesty.” She added as an afterthought.

“You cannot answer?” Alex asked. He checked her cultivation base. At Saint Core 3rd realm, the girl wasn’t nearly strong enough to be his opponent. She wasn’t even strong enough to be Pearl’s opponent, who had improved a lot in the past few years.

“I can, but maybe not here,” she said. “Please continue on with yourself, I will show myself when I think it’s right.” Then, she slipped back into the shadows, hiding herself with what Alex could now see was a talisman.

The incident was too weird for Alex to just let go of what had happened. He looked in the girl’s direction for a bit longer before understanding that she wasn’t going to talk to him.

He considered her suggestion and started moving.

wanted pills from him. A girl who had fallen for him. A girl who wanted to learn alchemy or even wanted to be his queen. But none of that seemed right by the girl’s attitude.

‘She trying to hide our meeting?’ he thought. ‘Or is she an assassin and wants me to wait until she meets up with her crew?’

All sorts of thoughts went through his head as he continued onward. Throughout his walk forward, he saw many girls and a few men sitting around in the cave, meditating on the mysteries of the Yin.

He looked at everyone carefully to make sure not one of them was going to jump at him out of nowhere. He would not be caught off guard if that was their plan.

The massive cave pocket narrowed the further he went along until it was barely wide enough for him to spread his arms out. The further he went, the narrower it got until the point where he had to turn sideways and slide through.

Thankfully, past that point, the walls grew wider again and seemed to snake its way down into the ground. The Yin here was thick and strong, and not many people were there.

He looked at a large fork in the path again and did his best to check which one was colder of the two. That seemed more difficult here as the Yin in both was potent enough that he couldn’t tell the difference between the two.

Still, he tried his best and found himself gravitating toward the one on the right. He had a feeling that the pathway he needed to take was the one on the right. While he was still oblivious about Yin to a certain extent, it would be a lie to say that he hadn’t started peering into its mysteries.

Alex turned around, his eyes glowing slightly purple as he stared at the woman that was following. Recognizing that she was still there, he walked through the right cave and continued along.

The cave path once again snaked its way around, going steep once As he walked, he thought of all the things she could be. A girl who and then flat the next. It grew wider again and wider until it was larger than the first cave pocket he had been to.

The Yin here was the thickest it had been in a long time as well. Alex had to actively ignore the cold now as it was getting to him as well. Not only that, the Yin in his dantian was growing as well.

It wasn’t a lot and normally he could go on for a week or more without dealing with it. But now, with Yin all around him, if he didn’t deal with it early, he might have to deal with problems later on.

However, he didn’t sit just yet. He wanted to go to a colder place. Primarily to be in a better place to learn about Yin, but also to torment the girl behind him who still wasn’t speaking at all.

“Can you handle a bit more cold?” Alex asked Whisker, who could only shake his head.

“It’s too cold. I can only stay safe, brother,” he said. “I cannot learn about Yin here if that is what you want.”

Alex nodded. “You’re still young and weak. You’ll have your time,” he said. “Rest for now.”

Whisker took the opportunity to disappear into the Beast space where he would be safe.

Then, Alex started walking.

He walked friskily, more running than walking, as he made his way through the cave. The coldness increased and he had to bring out his Qi at this point to stop the cold from getting to him, which let him continue further.

The path zigged and zagged, weaving through the ground, always going further into the ground where the Yin was heavy. At this point, there was no man or woman ahead of him.

Everyone had sat down down somewhere to prepare themselves to continue moving, while Alex had walked on without stopping. And he didn’t plan on stopping any time soon.

“Stop!” the girl spoke, her appearance visible without the darkness. “Your Majesty, please stop.”

Alex turned around to look at her. “Are you ready to talk now?” he asked.

The girl was quivering, her teeth almost clattering as she said, “Yes.”

Alex smiled. “Go on then, introduce yourself and why you are following me,” he said.

The girl grimaced a little, a brief look of anger showing up on her face. “I understand,” she said before throwing a soundproof barrier around them with a formation plate.

Alex waited.

“My name is Jiaolun, and I am here in hopes of getting pills from you,” she said.

Alex looked at her, unbelieving. “If someone was here to buy pills from me, they wouldn’t follow me all the way here,” he said. “Speak the truth.”

“That is the truth,” the girl said. “But, I am not trying to buy pills precisely. I am trying to persuade you to make some for us.”

“Without paying?” Alex almost laughed out loud at the audacity.

“Yes,” the girl said. “We provide the ingredients, you make it for us. Our leader said you would most likely do it.”

“Your leader?” Alex asked. “Who might that be?”

“Yu Yating,” the girl said without stopping.

“Yating?” Alex’s eyes flashed as he remembered the name. “You are…”

The girl nodded. “We are the Oathbreakers.”
