Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 770 Guest Elders

After going in, Alex was immediately taken away to the Sect Leader’s mansion where his master and the sect leader were waiting for him to arrive.

”You’re finally here,” Wen Cheng said, his original pride and attitude returning back to him.

”What is it, master?” Alex asked.

”I wanted to ask you something,” Wen Cheng said. ” You aren’t back forever right?”

”No, just a month or two,” Alex said. “3 at best.”

”Sigh, I guessed so,” Wen Cheng said. “I assume you will be staying here in the meantime, or do you want to stay in the Hong Wu sect?” 

”I will be staying here,” Alex said. “I will go there to teach a few things about Alchemy from time to time, but aside from that, I don’t see myself spending too much time there,”

”So, here’s what were were thinking,” Wen Cheng said. “Since you are going to stay here, why don’t you become a guest elder?”

Alex thought for a bit and said, “I can do that. Also, why don’t you make my mother a guest elder at the same time?”

”Your mother? She won’t have to worry about where she is staying with you being a guest elder,” Wen Cheng said.

”No,” Alex chuckled a bit. “I was thinking you could make her a guest elder so she can do something. Maybe give her a job in the market outside. She is a True Immortal Talisman expert, you know.”

”What?” both Wen Cheng and the sect leader showed incredulous faces when they heard that.

”True Immortal? Is that even true?” Wen Cheng asked.

”Yes,” Alex said. “Did I not mention it to you already?”

”You only told us that she was a Talisman maker,” Wen Cheng said. “If she’s truly as good as you say then it would be our honor to have her be our guest elder.”

”Yes, yes,” the sect leader added.

Alex smiled and quickly brought his mother to speak about the various things. 

”I don’t mind it,” she said. “In fact I was worried I would be a little bored.”

”Alright, that settles it then. Starting today, Sister Hei, and Young Yu will become the Tiger Sect’s guest elders,” the sect leader called.

The sect leader sent a message and soon Du Yuhan came to see him. He was informed on what had happened and was then sent to show them their new place of stay.

”Come with me,” he said and walked out of the mansion before going behind the mountain to jump off of the cliff towards the elder’s living area.

Alex remembered this place on the back of the mountain where the elders lived. This was also where the treasury was where he got the Five Yang Divine Path, the Yang clone skill, and the silver stone that later became a silver mountain in his mind.

”This will be your living quarters from now on,” Du Yuhan said as he pointed to two houses there.

”You can rest if you want to. The sun is already going down so you can start tomorrow,” Du Yuhan said.

”Okay,” Helen said.

”Go rest, mother. I want to see a bit more of the sect for now,” Alex said and left with Du Yuhan.

As the last rays of the sun left, the lanterns around the sect crater started glowing giving a familiar and nostalgic look to the entire area.

Alex heard sounds of shouting and fighting in the stage all over the sect crater. 

”How’s your cultivation going?” Du Yuhan made casual conversation.

”It’s going fine,” Alex said. “What about you?”

”Not bad I suppose,” Du Yuhan said. “How’s your sword Intent?” 

”Great, I got Sword Qi now. Although I haven’t improved upon it in a while now,” Alex said.

”You have Sword Qi?” Du Yuhan asked with surprise. 

”Yes,” Alex said as he flicked his finger, sending out a Sword Qi into the sky.

”You really are gifted in the way of sword,” Du Yuhan said.

Alex didn’t say anything and soon silence fell between them. 

”Oh right, what should I do if I want to become a referee for these fights?” Alex asked.

”You don’t have to, but if you want to, you can come around early next morning to the Elder’s Hall and register yourself,” Du Yuhan said.

”I will,” Alex said. 

Alex continued walking around the crater, going through the different place, until he came upon the stone stele again.

Alex wanted to read it, but there was no point in reading it anymore now that he knew the content. Not only that, he didn’t want the backlash he got every time he read it.

Although, it did remind him that he hadn’t been training in this technique for quite a while now. ‘I will not only need to train in this, but I also need to learn the language from sister Jia and translate this for my mother and the rest,’ he thought.

After it truly became dark, Du Yuhan left to train his junior brother, while Alex roamed the sect on his own until he met up with his elder brother.

The two of them talked for a while and returned back to the elder’s are together.

Alex returned back to his room and lay on his bed. It felt weird coming back to the sect. Over 10 years had passed, and he was but a blink in the eyes of many here.

Still, he was surprised how much they remembered him. He really had made an impact on many of the people here.

After thinking so for a while, Alex stood back up and brought out some pill bottles.

He checked the pills inside and there were exactly 7 of those.

Alex frowned a little. He needed to now make decisions on who to give the pill and who not to.

Anyone who got the pill would advance quite a lot further than those who didn’t. After all, this was the pill that would massively improve their Earth Spiritual roots.

Alex started making a mental note of who he absolutely had to give the pill to.

His master, his senior brother and sister, and his Martial uncle.

After those four came the tricky part. There was Zhou Mei, Fan Ruogang, Du Yuhan, Kong Yuhan, Zhou Mi, Luo Xing, and others.

Alex didn’t plan to give it to Wan Li for two reasons. One, he was already had a superior Earth Spiritual root. He was the owner of Earth and Fire spiritual roots after all.

Even if he didn’t, Wan Li had now destroyed his cultivation base by reaching True Emperor too soon, and the pill didn’t work on those that were in the True Emperor.

It did seem like Wan Li had started stabilizing his cultivation base now that he had gotten his revenge over the Huo family that killed his parents, so there was a chance he could still reach the Saint realm if he went on steadily.

’I should maybe check their Spiritual roots and see if they have any need for it,’ Alex thought. ‘Yes, that is what I should do.’

”For now, let’s breakthrough.”
