Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Fang Yumi and Talia stayed around Alex for a while before deciding to leave him. Alex only ever fought Fang Yumi once. If they were going to fight again, it would have to be once Alex was much stronger than he was right now.

Alex accepted that. He too wanted to fight everyone again once he was stronger. For now, he would have to lose out on pills.

For the next 5 days, Alex fought numerous more people, of which 3 managed to get noticed by him.

The first person he noticed was someone called Teng Xuegang. This was a person with a cultivation base in the Saint Transformation 1st realm and was one of the natives of the Eastern Continent to reach such a stage at just 800 years of age.

He was someone Alex had first heard of when he had just arrived in the Eastern Continent and had since only met him for the first time

From what he noticed, he was also someone from the same Teng family as Teng Roukang. But for some reason, they were at odds. Even though the young man himself tried to stay away, Teng Roukang would try and start a fight from time to time.

Alex couldn’t tell exactly what he was saying to goad him into trying to start a battle without a challenge, nor did he care. He was curious why the Teng clan wouldn’t take someone as Teng Xuegang as their own.

The second person who entered Alex’s eyes was a man who introduced himself as Zhao Boqin. He had a cultivation base of Saint Transformation’s 4th realm, the same as the Crown Prince.

He was an older-looking man, physically somewhere between in the 40s of a mortal. However, he had the movement of a youth and the power of someone stronger.

He was by far the strongest person Alex had met on this continent, and might as well be the strongest. Even with all of his powers, Alex had little doubt he could win against the man. And he wouldn’t even have to use his Immortal Qi, which he would’ve most likely started creating by now.

From what Alex could get out of him, the man turned out to be a part of the military. He was a leader of one of the battalions of the Talon legion, the ones that were supposed to be the fighters of the continent.

Alex had never seen a member of the Talon legion before. He had seen members of the Scale Legion, the Tail Legion, the Body Legion, and the Head Legion. The Talon legions were the spear of the empire, and they wouldn’t easily show themselves.

It was needless to say that Alex lost to him in a matter of minutes. He even lasted that long because the man held back out of fake courtesy for the first minute or so.

He was the only one to leave Alex after fighting just once. The others stayed around.

The last person who caught Alex’s interest was a woman from the Immortal Saint Pavilion who went by the name Layla. She was from the Ebony kingdom, and Alex knew exactly who she was.

This was the final of the four girls that the Crown Prince had given him information on. If things had gone differently, they would’ve met on a date of some sort.

When he first saw that it was this woman that he would have to fight, Alex didn’t think much of it. But when the fights started, he was more than surprised.

This woman was capable of skipping realms, just like him and Pearl. Her cultivation base was only Saint Soul 2nd realm from what Alex could sense, but the combat prowess she generated when fighting actually put her around Saint Soul’s 4th realm.

It was just 2 realms skipping, which in Alex’s eyes wasn’t a lot. But she was the only other player he had seen outside of his family that he had seen do it.

He could tell there was something about her body constitution that allowed her to produce as much fighting strength as she did, but he wasn’t sure what it was. He wanted to ask her, but in the end, decided not to.

Apart from these 3, many other fighters were quite capable and gave Alex quite a bit of trouble during the battles. But none of them were as extreme as them, so they didn’t stand out.

After fighting for 5 consecutive days, it was time for Alex to cultivate again.

Reset buzzed everyone’s talisman, and everyone sighed in disappointment at having to wait another 2 days before they had a chance to earn these excellent pills. Many of them had already tried out the pills, and the information about them had spread far and wide.

Quite a few number of people had joined by now, so the disappointment was even larger this time than the last time.

Since the 6th day had started, Alex had to fight one more time and win. Without that, at the end of the day, he would gain a Loss, which he didn’t want to get.

“Who is next on the Loss queue, Whisker?” Alex asked.

Whisker gave him a name. The person happily walked out and fought Alex before losing. Alex gave him a spirit pill, and he happily walked away.

Alex took away the canvas and puppet and turned around. Just as he did, he heard someone call out to him.

“Your Majesty!”

The voice was familiar to Alex by now. Teng Roukang was rather loud as a person.

Alex turned around to see what it was that caused him to be rowdy.

“I am next,” he said. “Can’t we just fight?”

Alex shook his head. “If you’re next, we’ll fight fight thing in 2 days. Until then, fix your craving for battle with someone else in here,” he said, before turning around to walk away.

“But that is not fair,” the man cried out. “I only got to fight you once in the last 5 days. I thought I would get it now, but you’re walking away.”

“If it’s not you, it’s someone else,” Alex said. “Just wait. You’ll get to fight me soon enough.”

“But this is bullshit!” the man cried out. “Why should I wait? I didn’t have to wait the next two days.”

People were starting to get curious about what Teng Roukang was doing. Teng Xuegang looked from the side as well.

Alex turned around to look at him. “What are you saying?” he asked.

“The Silver Queen announced that you would accept every challenge, no matter who it is from,” the man said. “If you don’t, you will give us a pill, right?”

“I did say that, and I am a man of my word,” Alex said.

“Then I guess I will have to take my pill one way or another,” the man said.

“Your Majesty, let me fight him in your stead,” Teng Xuegang stood forward. “I won’t?ask you for anything.”

“You can fight him on your own accord,” Alex said. “I fight my own battles.” He looked back at the Teng Roukang. “Go on. Do what you want to do.”

The man grinned. “Your Majesty! I challenge you.”
