Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy : Chapter 240: Death Read Online

Chapter 240: Death

Down at the ground where the old man and the 5 young people were staying at,

The old man watched the ship fly off into the distance with his crafty eyes and made an angry smile.

"Tsk, that young girl is too crafty. She saw through my ruse too easily," he said. He shook his head and looked at the blood on the ground.

"Sigh, I worked so hard to gather the beasts. You could've at least stopped the young man for a few moments if not for a minute," he said. His eyes would have hints of irritation whenever he remembered the young man's face behind the young woman.

"Tsk, I'm getting annoyed again," he thought.

He looked back at the 5 young people and looked at their shivering figures. "Stop shivering for one second," he shouted at them. That only made them shiver harder.

The fear on the faces of the 5 people was even higher than it was when fighting the monsters. He stopped looking at them and thought, "Urghh… I could've killed them if I was just a little stronger," he thought.

"At least that young man. Ughh… I so want to kill him," he said in agitation.

"And then, I would kill that girl, Ma Rong. That little girl thinks she is something huh."

" Well, she did help me a little… No, I will still kill her someday." He then turned back to the young ones again and saw them shivering with a face full of fear.

"Sigh"

Suddenly, the old man's cultivation base flared and started increasing. From Organ Tempering 1st realm to 2nd realm to the third realm… Organ Tempering 9th realm… Meridian Tempering 1st realm… Meridian Tempering 9th realm… Mind Tempering 1st realm… Mind Tempering 9th realm…

True Disciple 1st realm… True Disciple 9th realm… True Master 1st Realm… True Master 9th realm… True Lord 1st realm… True Lord 5th realm.

Finally, it increased once more to True Lord 6th realm and stopped increasing.

"Ahh… It feels so much better when you don't have to hide your cultivation base. Sigh, I'm still too weak to fight the girl with her True King realm cultivation," The old man said.

He then turned around to the 5 people and said, " You guys must be lonely. Why don't I send you to your friends and families from the village?"

The young people were relieved for a split second before realizing what he meant. The man in front of them had killed their entire village to capture the 5 of them for this one thing.

If he were to send them back, then…

Before the young ones could even think anything anymore, the old man swung his hand horizontally and 5 heads fell to the ground.

"Ahh… I wish I could do the same to those people. Especially the boy. Although, letting him grow a little stronger before taking his body doesn't sound too bad either," he said as he looked towards the distance where the ship had flown to.

And then, his cultivation base started to disappear once more until it was no more. Not even the previous organ tempering realm remained and he looked just like a mortal.

Then, he turned right and started walking into the southern forest. Before entering, however, a veil of light came upon him, and soon, he disappeared from where he was.

Alex was back to body cultivating on top of the ship under Ma Rong's supervision. He didn't need it, but having someone look after him why he was cultivating was still very much appreciated.

Ma Rong kept on watching him for a while and asked a question that she had in her heart for a long time.

"How long has it been since you cultivated normally?" she asked.

"Hmm… normally? Let's see… I have cultivated my Qi for a single time since I could do body cultivation," he said.

"Hmm… do you find body cultivation better than Qi cultivation?" she asked. She was genuinely curious about body cultivation.

"Not really," he said. "It's both the same. At least with Qi cultivation I don't have to feel this pain, and it doesn't get slower as you get stronger," he said.

"Oh, sounds like body cultivation is not as good as Qi cultivation. Then why do you keep on body cultivating? You can just cultivate your Qi too. I can look after you," She said.

"Uh… you remember the first time you came to teach me? The thing I said that morning you found me in the room?" he asked.

"Hmm?" Ma Rong didn't know what he was talking about. It was before she had unlocked her spiritual sense, so it took her a while to remember.

"Ah, that time I found you asleep? What about it?" she asked. She remembered the first time she went to his house to give him his alchemy lessons, and he was in one of the rooms, asleep.

"You see… I still fall asleep when I cultivate and… I don't know when I stop doing it," he said.

"What? You haven't fixed that yet?" she asked.

"I don't know how to, master. I keep falling asleep. At first, I thought that was normal, but it seems that it is not. I don't know what to do," he said.

"You should have let me know that way earlier," Ma Rong said. "Alright, Cultivate right now and I'll try to see what the problem is."

Alex nodded and asked Pearl to stop cultivating.

"That's enough for today, Pearl. You can go back now," Alex said.

"Meow?", Pearl woke up from the cultivation and went back to his beast space in Alex's arm. Ma Rong waited for Alex to start.

Alex knew he was in safe hands, so he sat in a relaxed posture and closed his eyes. He started breathing in and out slowly, and soon the cultivation method kicked in.

And, as usual, Alex fell into a trance and lost consciousness.
