Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 2026 Pride of an Alchemist

The very first thing Alex did when the situation seemed to get out of hand was ask Memory to absorb all of the energy within it at the moment. So long as Memory could consume it all, there would be nothing there for him to worry about.

Memory responded to the request immediately and began absorbing the energy within it at that very time. However, even then, it was too slow and the energy buildup within the cauldron was hitting its limit.

If Alex didn’t do something else, Memory would explode. But, if he let the energy go out here, it would still be disastrous nonetheless. It would be no less severe than getting attacked by an Immortal in the Immortal Spirit realm. Alex may survive that, but he would definitely be wounded. And worse of all, Memory would be damaged. He couldn’t afford that.

With the thought of what he had to do next barely forming in his mind, Alex acted. He grabbed Memory and threw it into his Soul Space, far away from anything within the void in his body. Once it arrived within his Soul Space, there was nothing more controlling the energy and it immediately exploded.

Thankfully, Alex managed to take the lid off at the last moment, so all the energy that came out of Memory was pushed out the front of the cauldron as magnificent light emerged where it was spewed out.

Memory was sent hurtling away by the force of the explosion, reaching a speed that would have been impossible even for him within his Soul Space.

Within his Soul Space, Memory continued absorbing the residual energy until there was nothing more to consume. The majority of it, however, had been thrown out into the Soul Space, spread thin to never be useful anymore.

Alex felt his Soul Space shake a little from the explosion, his mind taking the brunt of the force from that. He took a deep breath to calm himself and quickly brought out Memory again and looked for any noticeable damages.

Thankfully, aside from a bunch of burn marks, there was nothing on Memory that couldn’t be easily fixed. Alex sighed in relief. He didn’t know what he would do should Memory be wounded.

He sent Memory back into the Soul Space while he took a moment to think about what had happened to him just then. “So strong,” he thought to himself. “Elder Liang wasn’t lying when he said I couldn’t handle it.”

The energy within the ingredients was far too strong for his current level of Qi to control.

“But I was close,” Alex thought. “With my Dao, I could barely control it.”

He thought about it for a moment longer and came to the conclusion that he wasn’t so far away from being able to make this pill that it was an impossible task. At worst, he would need to break through 7 more times before he could control all the Qi.

At best, he could do it as soon as he broke through again. He could only find out by trying again.

“That won’t be today though,” Alex thought and sighed. “So I won’t be getting his approval today.”

He would have to wait.

“Should I go for other Supreme Alchemists then?” Alex thought but quickly shook his head. He had a level of pride within him when it came to his Alchemy talent. He wouldn’t want the label of Supreme if there were pills that he couldn’t make.

“No,” he thought to himself. “Even if I get 2 other approvals, I won’t do it until the third one is from Elder Liang himself.”

That was a level of commitment he had to put himself through in order to become a Supreme Alchemist.

“Brother!” Pearl came running over to where Alex was. “Are you okay? I sensed a strong energy from here. What happened?”

“Alchemy gone wrong,” Alex said simply. “Don’t mind it. Everything is fine.”

“Oh… okay,” he said. “You failed?”

“Like never in a long time,” Alex said and laughed. “I still have a lot to learn, Pearl.”

“I’m sure you’ll do it, brother,” Pearl said.

“I’m sure I will.”

There was no need for Alex to remain in that cave any longer, so he closed the cave back up, and left for his store. It was already nighttime when he arrived at Newsky City, so he directly went over to his home that night.

Fang Yuxie was in her room, cultivating when she heard him walk in. “You’re back?” she asked, walking out and stopping. She looked at the young blonde-haired man beside him and got confused.

“Oh. You brought a friend?” she asked.

“Ah, sister Fang. This is Pearl,” Alex said. “I told you I was taking him to breakthrough, didn’t I?”

Fang Yuxie’s eyes widened. “This is your beast?” she asked, looking at Pearl.

“Hello,” Pearl gave a small bow as he greeted them.

Fang Yuxie bowed back. “I thought you were only just in the Saint Transformation realm. Also, since when is your name Pearl? Wasn’t it Whisker?”

“Hmm?” Alex looked at her. “Did I never tell you that I had two beasts?”

Fang Yuxie paused. “You never mentioned that,” she said. “This isn’t the mouse?”

“No,” Alex said and brought out Whisker. “See?”

Whisker looked around, wondering what there was to see. He simply had no clue what they were talking about.

Fang Yuxie simply couldn’t believe it. “All these years and I’m only just finding out. He could’ve helped us in the store a couple of times.”

“Oh no.” Alex laughed. “Pearl knows nothing about Alchemy. He would be useless.”

“He could at least handle money,” she said. “He will now,” Alex said. “Right, Pearl?”

Pearl looked around with an awkward look on his face. “I have to work now?”

“You can’t expect me to take care of you forever, can you? You’ve grown this old, so it’s time to earn for yourself.”

“Oh… okay,” Pearl said. He was not comfortable with the thought of having to work.

Alex could feel the giggles surfacing from within himself. “Let’s talk tomorrow, sister Fang. I need to cultivate for today. I’m sure Pearl does too.”

“Oh, okay,” Fang Yuxie said and let them be.

Alex walked to his room and sat on the bed. Pearl looked around and sat on the floor as there was no place to sit on the bed. He moved around a little, trying to find the best spot to cultivate, and finally managed to find one next to the wall where he wouldn’t be leaning everywhere. “This is weird,” he said.

“This is your first time cultivating as a human. You’ll get used to it,” Alex said as he looked at Pearl. freewebnvel.com

Pearl nodded a little and closed his eyes to try and cultivate. He used the technique that was carved into his body at this point, and yet it felt so foreign to him.

However, when his body began glowing golden, he knew that it was doing everything correctly. Alex watched Pearl slowly get the hang of cultivating as a human and smiled. Once Pearl was more than used to it, he closed his own eyes and began cultivating as well.

He had broken through to Immortal Ascendant 2nd realm, so it was time to work up to break through to the 3rd realm.
