Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex walked outside, behind the father who left once he heard that his wife was coming. Once outside, Alex looked to the sky and saw not one woman, but instead an entire army worth come into the courtyard.

There were at least 40 people there, and all of them were in the Saint Foundation realm or above, the ones at the front being at the Saint Transformation realm.

They all wore crystal blue and white robes, that had multiple layers to them and wore precious golden jewelries on their head. Each and every one of them looked like a beauty, but the ones at the front were especially so.

Alex looked at one of them in the front, recognizing her. It took him a moment to recall her name, but he did.

Bing Zheshuang, sect master of the Ice Mist Palace.

She looked young enough to be in her early 30s, but it was hard to say if it was her cultivation that made her look young, or her cultivation technique.

“Changying!” the woman next to the sect master spoke up. “Where is our daugher?”

She had a fair face with small nose and red lips. Her black hair was tied behind her, hiding with layers of white veils that were attached to her head using gold and gems embroided hair clips.

She looked no younger or older than the sect leader and now that Alex was looking at her closely, no different either. It was the way the two women dressed that made them appeared unique, but in reality, they were the same.

They were twins.

The young alchemist was hiding behind the man, scared out of his life. In his defense anyone would be scared if the sect master of the Ice Mist Palace took her entire upper echelon and came to confront them.

This was the sect that birthed Song Meifen, the Queen of the Ivory Kingdom, and as such were the most important sect in all of the Ivory region.

Alex looked at the man next to him that the woman had referred to as ‘Changying’ and got curious if he was from the Ivory Kingdom as well.

It would make sense if he was, seeing at the mother was from that place.

“Why have you people come?” the man asked in a low tone as he stared at everyone.

To Alex’s surprise, no one immediately answered back at all. They all looked tense, the sect leader even more so.

Only the woman that was the girl’s mother didn’t seem tensed in any way other than the worry she felt for her daughter. “Changying! Answer me! Where is our daughter?” she asked.

“Healed and resting,” the man said. “Something you refused to do.”

“What?” the sect master stepped forward in surprise. “Is… is little Shumi truly healed?”

“Of course,” the man said. “Her Yin is all gone and he is much better. She is still in a coma, but she will regain her consciousness eventually.”

A small murmur stirred amidst the crowd as they all found it hard to believe.

“Brother-in-law, please do not lie if you are just saying it to send us away. It will only break my sister’s heart even more when you take away the hope you just gave her.”

“I do not lie,” he said. “Unlike you, who said you were healing my daughter and did nothing.”

“We did,” the man’s wife shouted. “Of course we did! You think I would let my daughter stay in a coma forever without doing anything? Every hour I was in a worry, thinking of ways to heal my daughter, but nothing worked.”

“Hmph! You didn’t try hard enough then,” the man said. “How was it then that I healed our daughter in just half a month when you let her remain in a coma for over half a year. You didn’t care for our daughter and chose to not heal her.”

“You! How can you say that?” the woman started tearing up. “How could you be so hurtful? I… I shouldn’t have married you at all. I thought you had changed, that you were no longer your old self… but I was wrong. You are still the same old man that has something wrong in his head.”

“I wish, I never—”

The sect master acted, holding back her sister before she said anything more. She pushed her back before moving forward herself.

“If little Shumi is healed, then may I take a look at her and see?” the sect master asked. ．

The man thought for a bit and answered. “You may look, but you can’t take her away. I don’t trust you lot to take care of her.”

“Oh, we will take her away,” the sect master said. “Why do you think I came prepared?”

The man looked at the 40 women who all seemed determined to fight him and smiled, “You count this as prepared?” he asked with a sneer on his face.

The sect master smiled. “If this isn’t enough, I have already contacted her Majesty and have let her know what is happening. She had most likely contacted his majesty Jin here and there should be more soldiers coming to aid us. Will that be plenty?”

The man hesitated. He wasn’t worried about the fighting part at all. He was worried that he would get the Legion involved. If the Body Legion got involved, he would be in a big trouble.

After all, they had promised to imprison him the next time he caused any problems to them.

“Aren’t we all getting a little hasty here?” Alex spoke up. “There is no reason to fight when we should be celebrating instead. The young lady inside has been healed of her Yin ailment. We shouldn’t be at each other’s throat on such occasion, right?”

The sect master turned her head and looked toward Alex. “And who might you be?” she asked.

“This is the great Alchemy that saved my daughter,” the man said. “Treat him with respect.”

“Oh, an alchemist,” the sect leader’s eyes warmed up. “You are the one who healed little Shumi? I thank you for your help. Still, I must make sure that she is truly healed. May I see her?”

“Sure,” Alex spoke. “The young girl is resting inside.”

The man looked toward Alex and frowned. “Why are you letting her in?” he asked.

“Is she going to poison her?” Alex asked.

“No, but—”

“Harm her? Hurt her? Give her disease?” Alex asked.

“No, she—”

“Is she not the little girl’s aunt?” Alex asked.

“She is,” the man said.

“Then I’m sure she means no harm,” Alex said. “If you’re so worried about your daughter, just go in with her.”

The man thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, let’s go in,” he said.

The other woman quickly ran forward and went in without waiting for any of them. She was way too worried about her daughter to care what the two men had to say. Once in, she looked at the bed where her daughter lay, resting with a calm face and finally accepted that her daughter had indeed been healed.

Once she realized the truth, she wept tears of happiness as she lay next to her daughter.
