Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex stayed in the Deer Colony for precisely 29 days.

Thanks to him being efficient about everything, he managed to have the beasts prepare everything in advance that they wanted to get.

Alex made the pills for them and they were happy to get it. The Deer especially was more happy than anyone else as he hadn’t broken through in such a long time and he finally got to see some chance at that.

Alex also received 3 Heavenly Silkworms after showing that the Lizard had indeed caved in and given him some in exchange for 10 pills each.

Seeing that someone else had already made the mistake of giving away the silkworms, the Deer had no qualms in doing so as well.

Aside from that Alex also gained blood from the many beasts that lived in the Deer colony, giving him a boost in Blood Aura that was enough to send him to the Peak of Saint Transformation 1st realm.

Now, he could make 8-veined pills without using anything other than just his blood aura. A colony more and it would jump into the 2nd realm for sure.

As for beast cores, he received over 20 of them. It was less than what the Lizard gave him, which was nearly 30, but it was a good number too.

Aside from making pills, Alex didn’t really do anything else in the Deer colony. He proposed the exact same thing he had done to the Lizard. He would make 50 pills for just saying the real reason why the Beast Paradise was locked up.

Unfortunately, the Deer didn’t answer as well. The Deer was much more well behaved compared to the Lizard, and even then he got a little annoyed at the question.

Alex knew not to ask anymore and left the topic behind.

Once everything he had wanted to do there was done, he left the place as well.

He arrived at the blue eagle’s Colony that was built on top of giant trees like tree houses. Most of the beasts that lived with the Eagle were also flying beasts, as well as a group of weak beasts that the Eagle seemed.

The Eagle, despite her attitude, had the most gentle heart of all. She took care of all the beasts in her colony like families rather than members of colonies.

She was once again worried about Alex’s blood aura, which had grown, but once Alex handed her the talisman with his trade offer, she finally calmed down.

Since the Eagle colony’s beasts were on the weaker side, while they improved Alex’s Blood aura to the 2nd realm, that was all he reached. She didn’t even have beast cores to hand over.

The Eagle also refused to hand over any silkworms or information from 50 years ago, but she did give him some mulberry leaves for free so he could keep the 5 silkworms he did have alive before he found a way to feed them.

Alex quite liked this eagle. So, he started making more than the amount of pills as he promised, including letting Whisker make many True rank pills for the beasts that were going.

40 days later, before leaving the colony, Alex handed over the pills to the Eagle who was simply too surprised. She didn’t want anything like this, and Alex didn’t want her refusal.

So, he left the Colony with the Eagle still holding onto the pills.

The next stop in the journey was the Ox’s Colony. The big, muscular ox was a simple fellow who didn’t care much for the world around him and did nothing but have fun.

The Colony was at the foot of a snow mountain, but there was enough heat on the ground that normal plants grew without worry.

Alex was surprised to find that this continent too had volcanic ice mountains that had magma flowing beneath the ground, heating it up, the soot giving it nutrients.

The Ox gave him 3 Silkworms as well as a lot of blood from the various beasts in his colony and himself. Alongside that, the Ox also gave him 37 Beast cores, highest in any colony yet.

The Ox was tight-lipped as well, not telling Alex anything about what happened in the past. Alex had hoped this one would give him some information, but it was the same old refusal.

At this point, Alex wondered if they simply weren’t allowed to say anything rather than refusing to say anything. He started becoming worried that there was likely an internal oath pact that they had made, like the 10 council members had made in the Southern Continent during Scarlet’s absence.

They could have made a similar oath in the Azure Dragon’s absence as well.

After spending a month and a half in that colony, Alex moved on to the next one belonging to the swan.

The Swan’s colony was on water. It was on a giant lake where the swan and many birds as well as aquatic creatures called their home. For beast that didn’t live in water, houses were built all around the lake, which was also surrounded by many forests and fields where they grew food.

For beasts that wanted to live on the water, but couldn’t do so without constantly flying, they made houses on boats that simply floated around the giant lake.

Alex was given residence on one of these boats as well. After resting for a day or two, he gave the Swan the talisman as well, and the Swan was more than happy to gain new pills.

Alex moved to the land when making the pills, so as to not terrify every single animals that stayed in the pool during the lightning strikes.

He made the pills for over a month and in return, he was given over 30 beast cores, 3 Silk worms and finally enough blood for Alex to make a substantial way into the Saint Transformation 2nd realm.

As for the question of why the Beast realm was closed, that remained unanswered.

Alex went to the Elephant Colony after that, as it was the one that the Swan sent him to.

The Elephant Colony was in the middle of a large grassland, surrounded by massive trees in the distance.

They had simple houses, but most of the beasts here liked to remain in the open. Alex enjoyed his time with the elephants that were friendly and were more than happy to help him with anything other than answering why the beast realm was closed.

Alex made many pills for the Elephants, while gaining a lot back as well. He gained over 50 beast cores and 8 Silk worms. Along with that, since the beasts were also massive in size, he received a lot and lot of blood from them.

That blood was enough to push Alex’s blood aura to the very peak of the Saint Transformation 2nd realm.

8 months had passed since Alex had arrived in the Beast Paradise and in that time, he had once again gotten close to breaking through to the next realm. It would still take some time, however, so Alex decided to go to the next location that he had been wanting to visit since the day he arrived in this place. 𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕.𝚝
