Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

"The one in your ring was modified to work as a storage vessel and as such corrupted. Normal space stones are purely silver in color," Godslayer said.

"I see," Alex said. "So, on the outside, you can use it as a storage vessel, but once you use them, they end up giving space aura to you?"

"Hah!" Godslayer couldn\'t help but get angry when hearing that. Not just angry for himself, but for everyone out there that would love to be able to consume a space stone.

"You are one of the few abnormal people who can take in a space stone. Do you really think it is that easy?" he asked angrily.

"Oh, sorry. I thought it was something common in the immortal realms," Alex said. "There are only a few out there who can do it? Who are they?"

Godslayer remembered the answer and couldn\'t help but get even angrier. "Those bastards in the goddamn Sky God\'s palace. Don\'t remind me of them," he said.

Alex was taken aback. \'Another god? Is that why he is so ticked off?\' he thought. He tried remembering the different gods Godslayer had talked about, but he couldn\'t remember any Sky gods.

"Was the Sky God involved in capturing you?" Alex asked. "Was he there with the Sword God?"

Godslayer grumbled. "No, the Sky God just trapped me in her treasury for who knows how long," he said. "I just want to kill them all."

"I see," Alex said. He didn\'t want to get Godslayer angry, so he decided to leave for now. Since he got more than what he had come here for there was no reason to stay any longer.

"Well, goodbye then. Rest for now, and tell me if you want some more energy. I can go and gather some death aura from dying people if that helps," he said.

"Sure, if you want to make me stronger, you can go ahead," Godslayer said and went back to slumber.

Alex nodded and looked at the silver threads that flew in the sky above him. "Space stone, huh? At least I know what it is now,\' he thought.

He came out of his mind and checked his ring as well. He smiled after finally learning a bit more about the world and left his room.

He went to find something. Lei Zhong and Yao Ning were the two that weren\'t cultivating this time around, so he met them.

"You can\'t continue?" Yao Ning asked with a disappointed look. "Is there any way we can help? We can give you more resources for the experiment."

Alex shook his head. "I\'ve hit a stone wall. If I want to break through, I will have to wait until I find something in the Forbidden Orchard. If I do find what I am looking for there, I can all but guarantee a pill that will help improve your Earth spiritual root, considering you have it that is."

"Alright, we will look forward to it then," Lei Zhong said. "How long before the Orchard opens this time around?"

"Well, it is my first time, so I don\'t know much about it, but I have heard that it will open within the year. Maybe even in just 6 months," Alex said.

"Oh, that\'s fast," Lei Zhong said. "So we will just have to wait a year at most? That\'s far less than what we were all expecting."

"To be honest, I don\'t think it will take that long for me to make the spiritual root-improving pill once I am able to break through this barrier I\'m facing," Alex said. "However, the real problem is the dao pill. I don\'t even know where to start."

"Just focus on the Spiritual root pill for now. After all, having a better spiritual root is automatically better for Dao in the long term anyway," Yao Ning said.

"Yes, senior. I will do just that," Alex said. "Since I have nothing else to do in this city, I plan on leaving tomorrow. I hope it is alright."

"Of course," Yao Ning said. "Feel free to return anytime you want. Your aid has been incredibly helpful, so we can\'t get enough of it."

Alex nodded. "If you will excuse me, seniors, I have somewhere I need to go for now," he said and left.

Alex walked out of the palace and flew away. His current destination was the Insight pavilion. As it had been over a month since he last went there, they had most likely already prepared his information package based on who looked him up.

Alex arrived in front of the building a few minutes later and entered it. He called the manager of this place again, and the bald old man took him to a private lounge area.

"I thought you would have come earlier. We prepared your information 4 days ago," the old man said as he sat down on his chair.

"I wanted to but I\'ve been a little busy lately," Alex said as he sat down on another seat as well.

"Of course, of course," the old man said. "One does not get to your level without busying yourself every day."

"So, where is it?" Alex asked.

"Ah! Right here." The old man quickly brought out a storage bag and handed it over to Alex. "You were right in buying the package you did. You are looked up to so much."

Alex looked inside the storage bag and saw over a thousand different talismans. "Oh wow, thousands of people looked me up," he said.

"Hmm? No, each talisman holds about a dozen different people\'s information. In fact, tens of thousands of people searched for you. I don\'t know how you are going to learn anything from it, but I hope you do," the old man said.

Alex was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, he didn\'t need to be surprised at all. \'At least my plan to be famous is definitely working,\' he thought.

He pulled out a talisman just to see what it held and looked into it.

The first person on the list was someone with no name. The talisman had no image attached to it either, so basically, the person searching for him was anonymous to Alex.

What was included however was exactly what sort of information the person had searched for.

From looking at the information, Alex figured out that the person only wanted to learn when the next time he made pills would be again.

He looked another one up and this person just wanted to look up what sort of pills he made and if he really was as good as everyone said he was.

Another person wanted to check if he was still in the Alchemy Association or if he left that place already.

The next person was the first person with some identity in the records. While he did not have a name, he was said to be a man from Dawn\'s Light sect.

Alex looked at the rest of the information in that talisman and there was nothing in there that could be considered extraordinary information.

\'Well, there are tens of thousands of it to go through anyway,\' he thought and put back the talisman.

"Thank you for this," he told the old man.

"Of course. It\'s a pleasure to work for you senior," the old man said.

Alex stood up to leave and stopped. "Don\'t bother making this for me next month. I don\'t know where I will be on the continent, so I will have it prepared from wherever I am," he said.

"Oh, as you wish, senior," the old man replied. "You can go to any of our branches and get it prepared within the hour."

Alex nodded and left the building.

Now that his task here was done, he saw no more point in staying in this city.

He went back to the palace and told the two elders that he would be leaving the next day. The two of them understood and agreed.

Alex went back to his room for the rest of the night where he cultivated in preparation for the next day.

After a whole night of cultivating, he finally left in the morning.

Instead of flying through the sky, he decided to use the teleportation formation to get out of this place.

The teleportation formations were all gathered around the same location near the gigantic Intercontinental Teleportation formations. Alex arrived there and went on to buy a ticket.

"What city would you like to go to, senior?" the girl in the reception asked.

"Umm," Alex thought for a bit. He had assumed that he would be going back to the City of Many Flowers but now that he thought about it, there was still more than a month\'s worth of time before had to go back there.

So, he decided on going somewhere else.

"What\'s the closest city in that direction I can go to?" Alex asked.

The girl looked in the direction he was pointing at and showed it on a map. "You can go to Blindheart city here. That\'s the closest city with a teleportation formation that is connected to here," she said.

"Sure," Alex said. "Then I will go to Blindheart city."
