Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

“Does that mean we should leave this place? We should go to the outside world?” Logan seemed somehow both hesitant and looking forward to the prospect of going back to the cultivation world.

“Well, that’s your choice,” Alex said as he shrugged a little. He handed the infant over to Ronron, who carefully took the child and slowly started rocking her.

“Talk among yourself, see if you like it. If you do, you can leave this place. I hear many others wish to leave here, so the talk is already underway”

Logan nodded slowly. “Many do wish to leave. I, myself, would’ve asked to leave long ago had that been possible. And then Emily came around and I completely forgot about everything. Now that you say Emily has a chance at a life I lost, I think it will be better for us to leave, regardless of how dangerous life might be for us out there.”

“I’m not so sure about that,” Alex said absentmindedly. He realized now that he had the power to do it, he should return some things to how they always used to be. It would be slightly difficult to do it on his own, but he had ideas and he certainly had help.

“Forgive me, sir. I’ve tried to, but I don’t think I still know who you are,” Logan said.

“I told you before,” Lilin quickly whispered. “This farm belonged to his family. He is the person whose clone married my mother’s clone.”

“And I am their daughter. In a way, Lilin here is my half-sister,” Ronron added.

“I’m sorry. It’s been so long since you guys left that I didn’t realize it was you,” Logan said, bowing slightly in apology.

“Where did you get the sword?” Alex asked curiously.

“This thing? I brought it back with me when we came back,” he said.

“May I?” Alex reached out for the sword.

“Of course,” Logan said and handed over the sword.

Alex took the sword and swung it around a little to the side, judging the sword. A small smile tugged the side of his lips, almost as though Alex found something funny that was not really funny.

“Cover your ears,” Alex said to everyone, and everyone quickly moved to cover their ears. Ronron used Qi to block the sleeping infant’s ears and even as she did that, the world slowly ripped at her Qi, taking it away, and forcing her to use more Qi.

Alex flicked at the sword and a loud sonorous ringing sound suddenly assaulted everyone’s ears. Like a large gong being sounded right next to them, it was a bit too loud for any of them to comfortably sit through.

The sword vibrated for a few seconds, the ringing sound slowly pitching higher and higher until it reached a pitch that nobody could hear, and then stopped.

Alex handed back the sword. “It’s quite the sword.”

“Thank you,” Logan said, taking back the sword with a weird look on his face.

“What was that about?” Ronron asked secretly.

“Nothing, I was just testing the sword to see if it was good,” Ale replied, causing Ronron to raise an eyebrow.

“Is it good?”

“Absolutely. I can’t tell if it’s an Immortal rank sword, but its certainly better than a Saint rank for sure. If that sword has a Sword Spirit, it would be bound to be considered an Immortal rank sword, I’m certain of that.”

Ronron barely hid her surprise. “How could he come across something like that?” she asked.

“How do you think?” Alex asked,

Ronron didn’t know.

“Your master. He gave everyone some sort of treasure. This was his,” Alex said.

“Lilin? Logan? Are you guys okay?” a middle-aged man came rushing out of the door.

“We’re okay,” Lilin answered back.

“What was that damn sound just now? Woke me right up from my nap,” he said and arrived outside, stopping only when he noticed Alex and Ning.

“We have guests, Dad,” Lilin said with a small smile.

“B-brother Alex?! Young Maron too. You came back?” the man was more than surprised to ask.

“Brother Yanshi. It’s been a while. How have you been?”

Ever since Alex and the rest had left the central continent to go live in the Southern Continent, Fan Yanshi had been the sole owner of this farm, given to him by Alex’s father at the time of their departure.

Fan Yanshi had been struggling at that time, having come back to a home where there was no home, so for his sake and his daughter’s sake, he needed the place.

That had been over 20 years ago now, and the man still hadn’t forgotten the help he had received from Alex and the rest.

Just the pill that made him live for 1000 years was enough for him to be in eternal debt to Alex. So when he saw him again, he immediately broke down into tears and started thanking Alex.

Alex helped the man calm down and began talking to him. Time passed as they talked, and the day slowly turned to night.

Lilin and the rest insisted that Alex and Ronron must stay the night there so, Alex reluctantly stayed back.

Alex took the time to learn more about the mortals and listen to how things were going on in this place. Hearing it directly from everyday people painted an entirely different picture of the situation than hearing it from an Immortal who heard it from somebody else.

People were frustrated at the moment because they wanted to leave, but there was simply no way for them to do so. They had come to understand about the thing that was keeping them trapped inside, the massive wall of Qi that encircled the entire continent.

That made them feel like livestock or prisoners, being kept in one place, unable to leave.

They hated that they were first taken away without their consent, and now that they wanted to, they weren’t being allowed to.

Many of the cultivators that had decided to come back had also changed their minds in the past 20 years. The world outside was dangerous, but there were also many opportunities.

It simply felt wrong to sit around here doing nothing, while there were people flying in the sky, who were strong enough to cut through a tree in the single stroke of a sword.

Not everyone wanted to leave, but almost all of them wanted the opportunity to do so.

After talking with the group until late into the night, Alex walked to the guest room where he would be staying the night.

He lay on the bed, thinking through everything. In the end, he came to a conclusion.

Now that there were no more oppositions in this world who would deliberately act against everyone else’s interest, everyone would certainly agree to the conclusion Alex had arrived at.

The next morning, Alex and Ronron woke up and got ready to leave.

There was a heartfelt goodbye between the two sisters, with tears shed for each other once again.

“Regarding little Emily, there should soon come a day when you will be able to freely leave. Until then, let her live a normal life here. She will appreciate it.”

After all, he was going to make it so that the world returned to how it was 5000 years ago. He was going to make all the Intercontinental Teleportation formation fully functional once again.
