Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Now that he was out of the spiritual sea, he decided to cultivate. He called back Pearl and asked him to cultivate as well. Once the cuts started appearing all over his body, he cultivated himself as well. 

Soon, he fell into a trance and fell asleep. 

He woke up in the morning and logged out. He freshened up and went to the kitchen to get some food. Hannah was up as well and was about to get her breakfast as well. 

"Any information on when they get here?" Alex asked. 

"10 am. They will leave after sorting some stuff out with their landlord," Hannah said. 

Today was Sunday. Today was the day Sarah and Emily were planning to move in with them. Alex had been a little nervous over the weekend while at the same time looking forward to them moving in. 

"Alright, are you planning on any welcome party or something?" Alex asked. 

Hannah stopped eating and suddenly hit her forehead. "Ah, Sh*t! I was planning to do that, but then I kept on playing the game and completely forgot."

She ran to her room and came back with a phone in her hand. "What are you doing?" Alex asked. 

"Ordering some groceries. Ever since the capsules arrived, all the raw food in the house has gone bad. We need more," Hannah said. 

"Oh, so we are going to cook now? I can help you. I have free time," Alex said. 

"Yes, thank you. That will be very helpful." 

Within half an hour, a delivery guy was at their door with the groceries. Alex brought the groceries to the kitchen and Hannah started prepping the ingredients. 

Alex helped her cut some vegetables. He worked at it slowly, trying not to cut himself and make an entire joke out of him again. He still felt a little bad about it when he cut himself last time. 

For someone like him who was brought up on the farm and was used to cooking on days when his parents were out on the field, that was unacceptable. 

This time, he managed to do it perfectly. He passed along the ingredients to Hannah and watched it closely as she cooked it. 

By the time they were done with cooking the food, Emily and Sarah also arrived with their stuff. They had brought a moving crew to help with the move.

Alex showed the crew to Sarah and Emily's room. Sarah was going to take the room upstairs, while Emily was going to take the room opposite to the hall from Alex's. 

Alex helped set up their furniture and capsules once they were put into the room. 

"Ahh! This is so nice. The view is so good from the balcony as well," Sarah said as she lay on the couch. "I must say, although it's expensive, it's really worth it."

"I really like it too," Emily said. " Just the view from my new room is so much better than my old room."

"Urgh, I feel like only I missed out on windows. My room doesn't have any," Alex said. 

"Yeah… well, that's my bad honestly. But it's not like you can appreciate a good view anyway. You spend all your time playing," Hannah said and chuckled a little. 

"Umm… isn't it true for all 3 of you though?" Alex asked. 

"Ahem, let's not talk about that. Come, the food will get cold soon," Hannah quickly changed the topic making the other 3 laughs out loud. 

They ate the delicious lunch until their stomach was about to burst open. 

"Ugh, with this much food, I doubt I will have to eat anything for the next 3 days," Sarah said. "I might go on a 2 day-long gaming session. I should be able to earn a few thousand dollars easily by then." 

'2 days of the gaming session and only a few thousand dollars? That's… too little for someone in the upper true realms right?' Alex thought. 

"Do you have any profession in-game, Sarah?" Alex asked. "Or are you just a normal cultivator?" 

"Well, I don't have any profession, but I wouldn't call myself a normal cultivator at all. I am a well-known elder of a well-known sect in the Eastern Continent. My only problem right now is that I cultivated too fast, damn it."

"Now I have to do what not to fix my cultivation base. I've spent so much spirit stones on just ingredients and pills that can help me make my cultivation base stable again," Sarah said and turned to Hannah. 

"What about you Hannah? Are you fixing your cultivation base?" Sarah asked 

"Kind of. I've just stopped advancing further, and that's worked for now. I think my body might be good enough that it doesn't require additional help to fix my cultivation base," Hannah said. 

"What? That's so broken. God, I'm jealous," Sarah said. 

"Well, many people would be jealous of you too," Hannah said. "Look at where you are." 

"I know… but I still can't help but be jealous, you know?" Sarah said. "By the way, do you have good talent and body to Alex?" 

Alex thought for a second about what to answer. 'Since sister's body in the game is so good, mine can't be better than her at all. So…'

"Yes, I do," Alex said. 

Sarah and Emily were a little surprised. Sarah hadn't expected him to say yes. "Oh, what grade?" she asked. 

"My body is at Divine grade, and my talent is at God grade," Alex said. 

"Woah! God-grade talent? That's like super rare," Sarah said. 

"Wait, you got so lucky too? I thought you were just earning money because of Alchemy," Hannah said. She was surprised as well as this was her first time hearing about any of this. 

"I mean, it hasn't really played any part in making money yet I guess, so I never spoke of it. Besides, I thought you knew because you never asked me about it," Alex said. 

Sarah asked a few more questions and Alex answered as truthfully as he could. He had never talked about this stuff in-game or out of it, and it felt really good talking about it so freely for once.
