Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

?It had been a long while since he had seen a pill that was destructive by nature, which didn’t need to be consumed. There were a few recipes for those back when he was a Saint, but by the time he had come across those recipes, they were never strong enough for him.

He was much stronger than what those pills could give them.

However, given how weak he was currently, these pills would make for a fantastic aid in his battles.

“Take this,” Elder Lan handed something to Alex while he was lost in thought.

Alex caught it and saw that it was a pill. Was it the same pill?

“Pour fire Qi into it to introduce chaos to the energy inside of the pill. As soon as you do it, they will explode. Use them as a distraction or to hurt them when they least expect it,” Elder Lan sent him a message.

Alex nodded. He couldn’t believe he was getting that pill. Could he get a recipe by chance too?

‘After this battle,’ Alex thought. He needed to focus for now.

He brought out something from his storage bag and handed it over to Elder Lan.

Elder Lan took the thing and was a little surprised. It was his shield that he was sure he had lost. “Thank you.” With a shield on one side and a sword on the other, he was ready to fight whatever came his way.

The First Elder was furious seeing the situation she had come to face. She had been so sure that killing this disciple would’ve been a simple task, but she had never expected the Elder to die the moment they came.

“Elder Lan, it appears that you wish to get in my way of killing that disciple. I was thinking of letting you live for a while longer, but it seems I might have to kill you first.”

Elder Lan gave a meek smile. “You can try, First Elder. Let’s see how quickly you can kill me before my elder arrives to kill you all.”

The old woman’s eyes narrowed. “What does that mean?” she asked. She turned around to the center of the sect that had grown quieter now. “Your elders? Are they the ones who…”

She had been told that two of the sect masters had died to something earlier in the Elders hall. Had they died to whoever he was talking about?

“It’s silent for now, so it is unlikely,” she noted to herself. “Whatever is happening, I should complete this quickly and find out. Tingxie, make sure the boy doesn’t run away. Don’t kill him just yet though, I want to be there when he dies.”

“Yes, master,” the girl said and pulled out a sword from her Soul Space, one made out of pink metal.

The First Elder brought out a weapon of her own, a staff with a curved blade at the end of it.

A scythe.

All eyes were drawn toward the scythe when it came out, a powerful aura coming from it. Even Hei Tingxie was forced to look at it, her face changing at the sight of it.

“Many of my enemies have died to this, Elder Lan,” she said and looked down at the man. “Come, it is time for you to reap what you sowed.”

Elder Lan attacked first, sending out a glowing blue sword strike, but the First Elder was faster, releasing her own strike almost at the same time. The First Elder’s attack was a glowing golden energy that tried to cut through the incoming attack.

Alex knew not to waste any more time and turned to run away. He teleported as far as he could, but the furthest he could go to on his own was just 200 meters. The space in his Immortal world was quite strong and he had yet not learned to improve his teleportation distance.

Hei Tingxie was fast, arriving next to Alex in almost no time. Her sword flicked, and the beautiful green energy on it took the shape of a green wolf that flew through the air to attack Alex.

Alex struck back, sending a God Rending Death Strike at the incoming wolf. The two attacks clashed with an incredible force, but the wolf was much stronger and it made its way toward Alex still.

He sent out two more attacks, finally managing to stop the wolf from attacking him. He was ready to attack again, but the woman in front of him didn’t attack immediately.

Had she wanted to, she could overwhelm him with her strength.

‘She’s playing with me,’ Alex thought. He understood what was happening. The girl had been ordered to keep him around, so that was all she was doing at the moment.

“You aren’t going to kill me?” he asked.

“No, I don’t have to do that,” she said, looking at the fight in the distance where her master was clearly winning. Elder Lan was clearly weaker, but thanks to his shield, he had managed to survive a little longer than other people would at his cultivation base.

Alex looked at the girl. “You’re her disciple?” he asked.

“She is my master,” Hei Tingxie said.

Alex tried to discern more about her emotions, but she kept it tightly hidden. He thought of ways to escape here, but he couldn’t think of anywhere he could outrun this girl.

He did have a pill in his hand, so maybe he had a way. He needed to distract her.

“Do you not hate me? If she is your master, then Bai Wanzhao should be like a brother to you,” Alex said.

“Actually, he was my fiance,” she replied simply.

Alex’s eyes widened slightly. “Then you must have come here to kill me,” she said.

The girl smiled. “I’m more bloodthirsty than my master, but I know you didn’t kill him and there is no enmity between us. I’m only here because that’s what my master wants.”

“Why not let me go then?” Alex asked. “Tell your master to run while she has the chance. Go away from this sect?”

The girl chuckled a little. “Now why would I do that?” she asked.

“Because everyone in this sect is about to either be captured or killed,” Alex said. “Two of the sect masters are dead, and the third one is no doubt on the run already.”

The girl’s eyes narrowed. “What?” she asked.

“Do you not know?” he asked. “Does your master not know?”

The girl came closer, her sword in her hand ready to strike out. “Clearly tell me what is happening,” she said.

Alex had no reason to lie at all. He told her all the truth from how the sect was a demonic sect to how the Blue Silk sect was coming to end it all tonight. .com

“They will be here any minute now,” Alex said. He readied the pill in his grasp.

The girl finally showed some emotion, a look of disbelief. “My master was compliant with it all?” she asked. “Then… she will be killed tonight.”

There was no doubt she could survive being hunted by the Blue Silk sect for even a single day. Her death was a fact written across fate.
