Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2113  Things To Do

"I haven\'t seen you in a while," Elder Shang said and immediately narrowed her eyes upon seeing his cultivation base. "My god! You broke through to Immortal Ascendant 5th realm?"

"I did, Elder," Alex said with a wide smile on his face.

The old woman couldn\'t hide the look of surprise from her face. She tried to think of how long it had been since Alex had joined the sect, and no amount of thinking made the number go over 25 years.

In just 25 years, he had gone from Immortal Ascendant 1st realm to Immortal Ascendant 5th realm. This sort of speed was unthinkable. Even the talented disciples and children of the other sects and families were not as fast as this.

\'Is a Celestial grade talent really this good?\' she wondered. She found it hard to believe that it was. No, this had to be beyond that, right? But she couldn\'t deny what she saw with the Talent Testing pillar.

"Congratulations," she said after finally gaining her composure.

"Thank you, Elder," Alex said.

"Alright, tell me why you are here. I do not have much free time on me right now. Another chunk of disciples are on their way to join the sect in 2 days. I need to vet every single one before we test them here."

"Oh…" Alex said, surprised. There were entrance exams being held this week? "I came to request communications with the sect master. I completed one of his requirements for the tickets, you see," Alex said.

"You did? Oh right, the cultivation base," she said. "Hmm, you will have to wait a week. The sect master is currently in closed cultivation and won\'t come out for the next two days. And then, he\'ll be busy with the entrance exam. Come back a week later and you should receive your ticket."

Alex felt disappointed, but there wasn\'t anything he could do in the end. Since the sect master wasn\'t here, he would have to— Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

"Elder Shang," Alex said as the woman was about to turn around. "Yes?"

"If there is an entrance exam happening in two days, does that mean the stairs are opening as well?" he asked.

The old woman gave a slight grin when she heard that. "Arrive at the bottom of the mountain the day after tomorrow before sunrise. I shall allow you to go up once again."

Alex gleefully nodded. "Thank you, elder Shang," he said. "I will take my leave now." He bowed a little and walked away.

The old woman went back to vetting the upcoming potential disciples.

Since there was the entire day of today and tomorrow for Alex to waste, he decided to go test his strength once more in the training tower to see how strong he had become after the last 7 years of constant training.

An hour later, he walked out of the training tower, satisfied.

His Blood Aura was still the weakest at Immortal Ascendant 5th realm, but everything else had seen massive improvements.

His body was the next strongest after his blood, and it had managed to barely touch the Immortal Origin realm in terms of strength. If he faced an attack from someone in the Immortal Origin 1st realm, he would still be wounded, but he wouldn\'t die.

The thing he was having trouble with right now was the materials he used inside of the Mountain Crushing artifact. Because the Starforged Tungsten ores he got were beginning to get too weak, the Mountain Crushing Artifact was having a lesser and lesser effect on him.

He needed some hard materials to work with next, but he wasn\'t sure if he could find any on his own. He imagined he would have to ask one of the many Elders next.

After his body, his Spiritual energy was the strongest. And it was no mere jump either. Perhaps because of his training in Intent, his Spiritual energy had begun to become stronger on its own as a mild side effect. It wasn\'t anywhere massive, but when put along with the Spiritual Conjunction technique, it had shown great results.

Alex\'s spiritual energy was now strong enough to be on average as strong as an Immortal Origin 3rd realm cultivator\'s spiritual energy. It was sad that his breakthrough in cultivation no longer improved his Spiritual energy, or else it would be stronger. But, that was the compromise he had accepted when using the Spiritual Conjunction technique, so there wasn\'t anything he could do.

Finally, his cultivation base was at the highest of all, reaching Immortal Origin 5th realm in terms of power. However, that wasn\'t all. When he did use the Endless Severing strike, his prowess jumped to the Immortal Origin 6th realm. When he used the True Immolation strike, it became even more powerful, but not enough to reach the 7th realm. Alex knew he couldn\'t go back to cultivation now that he was out. They would have to leave at any time, so he needed to make preparations for his departure.

That meant he had to get as many tickets as he could. Reaching the cultivation base was one. Making high up the stairs was another. And finally, becoming a Supreme Alchemist was the last one.

There were more, but these three were the only ones he could reasonably get to within the next 2 years. So, Alex needed to begin working toward the latter two.

He was ready to go up the stairs again. He had reached close to 16000 steps just the last time he had tried, so he was certain he could go past it this time around. So, the only thing he truly needed to work toward was the Heavensent Invincibility pill. "It\'s been 7 years since I tried it last," Alex thought, feeling a sense of nervousness and excitement all at the same time. A smile formed on his face. "I have nothing to lose by trying."

Guess which idiot thought it was a good idea to add 10 more chapters spots for Privilege and not write a single chapter for it until the last 2 days.
