Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

With leather from such a beast like that, the leather was incredibly tough and durable, as well as being able to absorb so much energy from the other ingredients that it truly made one of the best beast pouches.

The space inside the pouch was large and spacious. Alex dropped a few mulberry leaves for the silkworms to enjoy and went about his day making pills.

The pills he needed to make for the Lizard colony were slowly coming to an end, and a week later, he was all done with it.

Now, it was time for him to leave.

He met up with the Lizard, who had prepared the beast that would be taking him away. It was a small snake in the Saint Core realm that should have been large usually but seemed to have changed its size for no reason.

"Come back," the Lizard said. "I will prepare more stuff for you."

"I\'ll see if I can, senior," Alex replied and flew away.

He followed the snake and went away. His next visit was the Deer Colony. From what the snake told him, the Deer colony would take just a few hours to reach.

Alex took his time, looking at the scenery of the land as he flew by. He saw many beasts and many trees, all unique in their own way.

There were so many alchemy ingredients there, but he didn\'t want to gather any of them. Instead, he just enjoyed his time, not having to make any pills for the first time in a few days.

It took Alex about 5 hours in total to reach the Deer colony. When he arrived, he quickly surveyed the location.

The deer colony lived next to a massive river that flowed from the north to the south. On either side of it were the many houses that were built facing the river which was the colony.

On one side of the river was a massive grassland that went out for a few dozen kilometers. On the other side was a large forest that also went on for a long while.

Between them and the houses were the many fields that were growing with food for the beasts and materials for the trade. Alex even saw a few mulberry trees growing there.

Alex landed outside the village alongside the snake and walked up to the Deer that had appeared to welcome him.

"Welcome to my humble Colony, King Alex," the Deer said. "It took you some time to get here."

"My apologies," Alex said. "I was stuck in senior Hua\'s Colony for a certain reason. Now that it is over, I can finally come."

"He complained about you quite a lot, you know," the Deer said. "And yet when we asked him to send you to our Colony if he doesn\'t want to, he always said that he couldn\'t do that. I\'m curious why he didn\'t let you go."

"Probably our business," Alex said.

"What business, if I may be so bold to ask," the Deer said. 

"Uhh… how about we don\'t talk about it right now?" Alex said. "I would like to enjoy a day or two here before I do something like that. Worry not, I won\'t show any bias amongst all 7 leaders. I just wish to rest for a while."I think you should take a look at

"You must be truly tired from doing something that you don\'t even want to speak about it," the Deer said. "Very well, come with me."

The Deer took Alex and walked him toward a house. Alex looked on either side at the houses that were once again not that well built.

Someone quickly flew toward them and Alex turned around to see who it was. When he saw the person, he was surprised.

"Crown Prince?" Alex called out.

"Your Majesty!" the Crown Prince spoke. "You took quite some time coming here. Why did you take so long?"

"Stuff happened," Alex said. "What are you still doing here? I had assumed that you had left and just forgot to tell me about it."

"Of course not," the Crown Prince said. "I\'m still here. I haven\'t done what I came here to do."

"Oh, you haven\'t received the bone marrow yet?" Alex asked.

"I did," the Crown prince said happily. "It took some time to convince one of them, but I managed to in the end. Letting them know that I was the next Emperor helped quite a bit."

Alex smiled. "So, now that you\'ve received it, are you leaving?" he asked.

"I will, in a few days," the Crown Prince said. "I needed to let the bone marrow sit on the sun for a week or so before it was ready to use, so I remained here for the past 10 days."

"I just got done with it and decided to leave after a few days. I was in fact planning on coming over to the Lizard Colony to see if you were leaving as well," the Crown Prince said. "But… it doesn\'t look like you want to leave so soon."

"I don\'t plan on leaving until I\'ve thoroughly visited all 7 Colonies," Alex said. "I have no idea when I will next get to visit this place."

"Makes sense," the Crown Prince said, nodding to himself before seeing the Deer and the rest around Alex. "Ah, I must have stopped you guys on your tour. Let us carry on."

"It wasn\'t really a tour," the Deer said. "I was simply showing him to his residence for however long he will be staying with us."

Alex was then taken to his room by the Deer and was left to rest for the remaining day and night. He was quite tired, so he used the opportunity to truly rest for the entire day.

The next day, he was taken on a tour of the Colony by the Deer, along with the Crown Prince, and was shown the many things that the colony had to offer.

Alongside that, Alex spent the next 2 days talking with the Crown prince about various things and was reminded that he couldn\'t stay in there for too long.

In just a year and a half, the Golden Auction, the Continent\'s most anticipated auction would take place. Even before that, the Golden Mountain range would be open everywhere and was a place that Alex would not want to miss.

Alex promised to get out of this place before that. He had other things he needed to take care of anyway.

3 days later, the Crown Prince left the Colony and was taken out of the Beast realm. He was gone and would not come back for a long time.

Alex had rested long enough as well. So, he brought out the talisman he had prepared and handed it over to the Deer leader along with a single pill for him to test.
