Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Snowleaf returned and got onto the ship a while later. He let out a deep breath once he entered, and sat beside Alex and Grimsight.

“How did you do? I saw you guys were quite far behind me when we started.”

“I did well,” Alex said.

“How close did you get? 150? You did cross 200 right?”

“You don’t have to worry about him. He nearly made it to the 80 range,” Grimsight said from the side.

Snowleaf paused for a second, having a hard time taking in that information. “Uhh… you mean 180, right senior?” he asked.

Grimsight simply shook his head.

“How… is that possible?” Snowleaf asked.

“Your senior brother took in a talented disciple. That is all,” Grimsight said.

Alex ignored the topic and focused back on cultivating and resting. He needed to regather his Qi and spiritual energy while they remained on the ship.

Silvermist returned a few more hours later and entered the ship. “So close,” he said. “I was maybe 5000 kilometers away, but the aura got too thick and had to return.”

“5000?” Snowleaf shouted in disbelief. “I barely made it to 30 thousand kilometers.”

“Of course,” Silvermist said. “You’re much weaker than me. It’s understandable.”

Snowleaf was left stunned, not knowing what to say in reply. He simply nodded in the end.

“Alright, should we return then?” he asked.

“Don’t you have other things to teach your disciple before we return?” Grimsight asked.

“Huh? What do I— oh! Right, right.” Silvermist turned to Alex and said, “Come with me. I need you to do something.”

Alex hadn’t fully recovered his Qi, but he had done so enough to leave for now. He walked into the inner section of his master’s large ship, into one of the numerous rooms that were onboard.

“This ship flies through space, doesn’t it?” Alex asked.

“All ships do that,” Silvermist said.

“But this one has the cloud on the outside that protects it in space, right?” Alex asked. “That makes this a much better vessel for long-term travel.”

“Oh yes,” Silvermist said. “The Transmigration Cloud is a terrific invention. Without it, we would have to use so many resources for traveling in space, it’s absurd.”

Alex nodded. “How fast can this ship fly, by the way? How long does it take to reach the other Immortal lands?” he asked.

“How fast?” Silvermist chuckled. “It is incredibly fast. The peak of the Divine cultivation realm in terms of speed. That means we can go from Eclipsing Heaven to Ever Dark realm in less than 2 hours.”

“2 hours? That’s quite fast.”

“Isn’t it?” Silvermist sounded glad that Alex understood the greatness of his ship.

They arrived at a room, which Alex immediately recognized to be an Alchemy room. “Why are we here, master?” he asked.

“Because we are making pills,” Silvermist said. “I mean, you are making pills. Well, just one pill.”

“Okay… but why?” he asked.

“There won’t be another time for you to come to space, so this is the only time you can safely make pills in space,” Silvermist said. “Do you not want to try.”

Alex couldn’t argue. He did want to make the pills.

Alex entered and Silvermist took out a few ingredients before handing them over to him. Alex took the ingredient and looked through it, immediately realizing what pill it was that he needed to make.

It was a Saint-ranked healing pill.

“I’m making a Saint pill?” he asked.

“Something simple you can’t possibly screw up even by accident,” Silvermist said. “You know what to make right?”

Alex nodded.

“Do you have the proper recipe? If not, take this.” He handed Alex a recipe, but Alex declined.

“I have the proper recipe.”

Silvermist stood by the door. “Make that pill and don’t hold back,” he said. “I know how good you can make pills. I want you to make it the best you can. If you want me to stay away, I will stand outside the door.”

Alex thought for a bit and nodded. “I will appreciate it if you did so, master. I… don’t feel comfortable showing my capabilities just yet,” he said.

Silvermist smiled. “That’s understandable. Even though you call me master, I haven’t taught you anything yet. I will stand outside.”

He closed the door and a formation went up around the room, concealing Alex from outside. Alex looked at the ingredients and pulled out Memory before he started making the pill. The process itself took no more than 10 minutes and with how easy Saint recipes were for him at his current level, the pill was easily made with no mistakes at all.

The ingredients were also so good that Alex easily made the best pill that was possible. As soon as he was done making the pill, he looked up, waiting. He waited for a few seconds, confused as to why the pill cloud didn’t form.

And then his eyes went wide in realization.

This was what his master wanted him to see. Pill Clouds didn’t form in space. ‘There is no heaven,’ Alex thought, slowly realizing that there were many more things that the absence of space took away. freewёbnoνel.com

Alex pulled out the pill, watching it in awe now. For the first time in his long life, he was looking at a 100% harmony pill with absolutely no pill veins at all. This was… incredible.

“This shouldn’t exist,” he said softly.

He wondered what else this meant. If pill clouds didn’t form then, did lightning tribulation happen when one broke through? It couldn’t happen either.

Then… could someone break through to Immortality if they were not in a realm? How did that work? There were so many questions in his mind.

Silvermist knocked on the door a while later and Alex finally remembered that his master was waiting for him outside. Alex let him enter and the man came inside.

“Did you do it?” he asked.

Alex nodded. “A 100% pill,” he said, tossing the pill to his master. “I didn’t expect to see one in my lifetime. Perfection exists outside of heaven then.”

“It does,” Silvermist said, looking at the pill a few times, before tossing it back. “But of course, that doesn’t mean the pill is magically better somehow. Pill Clouds and Pill Lightning are important to make a pill better through Pill veins. Without that, it’s just the best it can be on its own, which is… not that good, is it?”

Alex couldn’t help but nod. Heaven truly was important for making a good pill.

Alex asked his master about the other questions and was given a surprising answer.

People could in fact break through without the presence of heaven. They would just need a vast amount of treasure to help with the transition, but it could be done. They would just have to go through a stronger tribulation when they returned to the world.

Alex was shocked to hear that it was actually possible. He was pretty sure it wasn’t possible since it was the tribulation that gave them Immortal Qi in most places.

But if you had Immortal Qi, he could now see why that wouldn’t be possible.

“Anyway, you’ve learned what I wanted you to learn,” Silvermist said. “We shall return.”

Alex spoke up at that moment. “Actually, master. I want to do something else before we return.”
