Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

After letting the audience and the viewers have a bit of time to process what he had just dropped, the host continued the show. 

"Now, let us ask these top players what their body and talent grades are and why they are so high up on the list," the host said. 

"Let us start with the oldest of all, Mr. Sean once again." The host then turned to the old man and asked," Mr. Sean, can you tell us what grade your body and talent rank is?" he asked. 

"My body is not that good. It's only Immortal grade," the man said with a small smile and continued, "However, My talent… is God Grade." 

'What?!' Alex nearly screamed out loud when he heard this. Some people in the audience actually did shout out loud in disbelief. 

'I had expected there to be other people besides me with God grade talent, but learning there really are others is truly surprising. No wonder the old guy could break through so fast. He must face no bottleneck at all, just like me,' Alex thought. 

The host asked the others the same question and the answer he got were amusing, to say the least. Emily's friend seemed to have a Heaven-grade body with an Ancient grade talent. 

The best body that had been mentioned yet was only a Divine body belonging to another girl in the group. The host had purposefully kept the two people with the highest cultivation at the last place. 

"Mr. Aaron, what about you?" the host asked. 

The man was a little smug as he said, "My body is just a simple Divine grade body that allows me to eat monster cores and gain a massive amount of explosive strength from it. Although I have only been able to use it rarely lately, it's still good. As for my talent, it's at God Grade as well."

The host seemed to be curious about his explanation and asked, "Sorry, can you go back to your bit about your body. You said that you could eat monster cores for strength using it, but now you don't. Can you give us an explanation as to why?"

"I don't really know the reason why, but I just had to. When I started very early on, I did exactly what my body, Divine Devourer told me to do. I devoured pills, spirit stones, herbs, and monster cores. The first three only gave me a little Qi when I ate them, but the monster core, whenever I would eat them, along with Qi, I would get the strength of the monster whose core I ate."

"I slowly started to kill monsters and eat their core to become stronger and kill more monsters. Until about 10 days later, I got a small headache when I ate one. After that, from time to time I would get headaches whenever I ate one. Until one day I straight up fainted when I ate one. It also left my mind hurting for nearly a week. Ever since then, I have only stuck to the other items for Qi, and skipped monster cores."

'That is kind of like me,' Alex thought. 'Does he also need to fight the monster in the spiritual sea which is why his head hurts?' 

'Wait, no. He probably hasn't unlocked his spiritual sea yet. so, he can't fight the monsters even if he wanted to. No wonder he has so much headaches. Atleast it's good to know that nothing bad other than some headache would occur in case I lose to the monsters,' Alex thought.

The host nodded a little and asked, "So, do you use the Qi from pills, spirit stones, and herbs to gather Qi and breakthrough now?" 

"Kinda, but not really. The pills would help me gain Qi regardless of my body. I can just cultivate with a spirit stone instead of eating it. As for herbs, they are better if they are made into pills. Since these 3 things don't really have a huge impact on my cultivation process, I don't usually mention these when I talk about my body," he said.

"I see. That is unfortunate. Now, let us move on to miss Hannah. Can you tell us about your body and Talent?" he asked. 

Hannah nodded and started talking. "My talent is not so special it seems. Most people seem to have Ancient grade talent, I have one as well. However, I also happen to have an Ancient grade body."

"What?" The guest on the stage turned their heads towards her in surprise, not to mention the shock amongst the people in the crowd and back home. Alex himself was surprised by this sudden information as well. 

Even Aaron was surprised and slightly jealous of her now. Even though he had a better Talent than her, in the long run, the body would surely be much more useful. Especially if it was anything like his own. 

"Isn't that your cousin? Does she have that good body?" Emily asked from the side. She was no longer timid as the shock had taken away any timidness in her for now.

"I— I did not know about any of this. She never shared to me about her talent or anything," Alex said. 

The host was stupefied for a moment as well. It seemed he was not informed about this fact from the TV studio, probably for a more genuine interaction on today's show. 

"Ms. Hannah, do you really have an Ancient grade Body? What does it do?" he asked.

Hannah chuckled a little and said, "Yes I do. It's called the Nine Revolutions Ancient Body. Basically what it does is every day and night, it gathers Qi from the surrounding until I cannot gather anymore. Which for me is around a few million Qi. Even when I am asleep or offline, It constantly brings in Qi for me." 

Hannah's words caused a great amount of shock and envy among the crowd, but the Host seemed to have thought of something and asked, "While it does sound like an incredible body Ms. Hannah, I find it a bit too dull to be an Ancient grade body. Is there anything else you have to add to that?"

"Hehe, you are not a host for just any reason, are you? Yes. I do have something else it does that work in tandem with the Qi gathering. And that is the fact that I can break through any realms without using any cultivation method at all. My body allows me to bypass that restriction."
