Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex walked out of the teleportation formation and was surprised to immediately feel a lot of cultivation bases around him, albeit very weak ones.

With a wave of his spiritual sense, he saw quite a few humans already gathering outside, not very far away from them.

‘They’re already here, huh?’ he thought.

He flew away from the location to go back to the Scarlet City. However, just a few minutes after flying, he remembered something.

‘Oh right, the Emperor wanted to talk to me, didn’t he?’ he thought. ‘Since he’s so close by, I should go and meet him.’

Alex immediately changed his direction and flew in the direction of the Cardinal City, which took him no more than a single hour to reach.

As soon as he arrived, he flew directly to the palace with no one stopping him at all. He practically intruded on the palace, but he still remained outside the main building waiting for someone to come.

The guards gathered and were ready to attack, but none of them could do so without any orders, which required someone big.

A man walked out of the palace and arrived in front of Alex. He bowed a little in front of Alex and asked, “Greetings, senior. May I know who you are? And why you have come to our palace?”

“Oh, if it isn’t the crown prince,” Alex said with a somewhat surprised tone. “Your father requested my presence some time ago. I was busy back then, so I could only come right now.”

“His royal majesty did?” the crown prince was surprised. “And… your name?”

Alex simply smiled. “Just come out. You should have recognized me already,” he said.

A moment later, the Emperor of the Crimson Empire, Fu Zexian walked out of the palace.

“When Brother Feng had told me, I couldn’t believe it, but you really have grown strong. So strong that I can’t even tell how strong you are,” the emperor spoke while constantly trying to gauge Alex’s strength and failing.

The man himself had only just reached the Saint Foundation 7th realm, so he really couldn’t feel Alex’s cultivation base even if he wanted to.

Alex wanted to start up a small talk when he sensed two different spiritual sense land on him, each one of which was stronger than the emperor.

Alex’s eyes went slightly wide in surprise as a smile formed on his face. “Now that’s interesting,” he said. “I had always wondered back when I was around as to what happened to you two. As expected, you haven’t kicked the bucket yet.”

The emperor felt a bit afraid when he heard how Alex was talking.

“Please, let’s go in,” he quickly said and took Alex inside.

Alex walked through the palace of the royal family of the Crimson Empire. He remembered how incredibly fascinated he was the first time he had come around.

And now, there was nothing here that made him even raise an eyebrow.

He was taken to a room at the end of the hallway that was the fanciest room he had seen in all of the palaces.

He wasn’t even brought here the last time around when he had stayed here for a week or so.

After he entered, he met with two men that had been waiting for him.

One of them was an old man with gray-white hair that looked quite old. The other was a man with some gray hair, but mostly he looked middle-aged at best.

Both of them had a cultivation base just below the Saint Core realm. They seemed to have been lacking the Qi the breakthrough to the next realm.

Alex nodded a little toward the two men and looked for a seat. Somehow, this seemed to have offended the man with the gray hair.

“Young man, shouldn’t you properly greet your seniors?” he asked. “You aren’t allowed to sit until you do.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Alex asked and sat down on the empty chair. “What are you going to do if I don’t?”

The gray-haired man got angry, but the half-gray man quickly stopped him from speaking any further. “Father, it’s alright. Just let it be,” the man said before turning around to Alex.

“I’m sorry about my father. He’s just a little angry that the last kid that came here not only disrespected him but also defeated him easily when he asked for a battle,” the man quickly said.

“What? I didn’t lose!” the man shouted. “That fight didn’t count since I couldn’t even touch her.”

“Grandfather, please,” the emperor spoke. “Do not disrespect the guest.”

The old man finally calmed down.

The gray-haired old man was Fu Qiong, the man who unified the Shattered Kingdom into the Crimson Empire.

Alex still remembered the younger version that he saw in the Fu Clan head’s memory more than a week ago.

This was the man that was supposed to be the Fu clan’s head, but fate had brought him over to this side where he still had managed to make something out of himself. ．

The other man was his son, the previous emperor of the Crimson Empire.

Both of them were people that were only remembered in history books. Almost everyone believed they had died for some reason, but here they were, healthier than ever.

“Ah, so he met up with sister Hao Ya too, huh? Well, you would be stupid to try and fight her. She’s in the Saint Soul realm after all,” Alex said.

The three men suddenly gulped in response. “S-saint soul realm?” the emperor asked. “Wasn’t she in the Saint Core realm?”

“No,” Alex said. “Well, it’s the same thing to you guys anyway. It was stupid to try and fight her.”

The two men looked at Fu Qiong who could only look down in shame.

“So, what did you call me here for? You sent someone to find me a while ago,” he asked.

“Oh, we just wanted to meet you,” the emperor said. “Brother Feng told us you were strong, so I got curious. Also, given that the last time you came around, you introduced the concept of medicinal pastes and also gave the sects the recipes to make pills that restored one’s limbs and other body parts, I was hoping if you had something like that.”

The emperor for sure was expecting something from him.

Alex chuckled a bit. “I have nothing of value that I can give you that I haven’t already given to the Hong Wu sect. Wait for a month or two, and the new pills should be surfacing soon in the market,” he said.

“Is… is that so?” the emperor got a little disappointed. He was expecting a bit too much apparently.

“Although,” Alex suddenly spoke, causing him to look back in anticipation. “I do have some things I can give you, which you should like much more than any pills I can give you guys.”

“Oh? What is it?” the emperor asked.

Alex quickly brought out the many storage bags and tossed them at the emperor and his father and grandfather.

Each one of them held the bags with a confused look. Then, they took a look inside.

“You now have 30 Saint spirit veins that can improve the cultivation base of this empire by a lot,” Alex said. ‘That should be plenty right?”
