Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

Chapter 859 A Month's Improvement

　　Aside from doing gardening and mixing in with the men and women of the village from time to time, he spent most of his time in cultivation.

　　With so many techniques to cultivate, he really couldn't spare much time for anything else.

　　Alex continued with cultivating the Undying God's physique and that surprisingly improved Whisker's cultivation speed rather fast. 

　　Just like when Pearl cultivated to a high level and improved his physical body quickly, the same thing happened for Whisker to improve his cultivation as Alex's Undying God's physique improved.

　　In just a month, he went from having no cultivation base to reaching Meridian Tempering 5th realm. That meant Whisker managed to break through every 2 days.

　　However, it was slowly starting to slow down, but Alex wasn't worried. He had a long time to go, and all he needed to do was get him to the True realm.

　　After that, the Winter Moon cultivation technique his master gave him that was suitable for beings with Yin spiritual roots.

　　Alex wasn't sure if a human cultivation method was really usable on a beast, but Whisker had already started learning one other technique that used Yin, which was also meant for humans, so Alex was confident in his assessment. 

　　He had also been taking Whisker to fight in the forest, and while Whisker had no actual fighting skill, he was starting to not immediately run away from fights.

　　That was all Alex wanted anyway. He wanted Whisker to slowly remove, or at least have him fight against his instinct to run in the face of any kind of danger.

　　It took time, but there were quite a lot of improvements.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ _Fire

　　There was also another improvement for Whisker that Alex was, fortunately, able to provide. Since Whisker wasn't cultivating on his own, he wasn't sure if it would work or not, but when he did hand Whisker a Spirit Cleansing lily and cultivated, he easily absorbed the lily and unlocked his spiritual space.

　　This was much faster than Alex as well.

　　Back nearly 2 years ago, Alex had found some Spirit Cleansing Lilies around the forest behind his sister's home in Rubyroad City.

　　Then when scouring for the secret realm in the Beast realm, he had also found quite a few of them.

　　He had given one of them to his mother, a few back in the Crimson Empire, and now he had used 3 for Whisker.

　　He still had a few, but there was no one to give them to just yet. If anything, he was keeping it so that he could give it to his father, if he hadn't already reached Saint realm by then that is.

　　Whisker's spiritual sense reached about 20 meters in all directions, which was quite low, but it was what Alex had also started with.

　　Now, he simply needed to make some pills for himself before he reached the True realm.

　　Aside from that, Alex focused on the Demon Eyes as well. By the time a month had passed and the medicine in his eyes was done soaking, he had tried to open it and look, but all he could see was some hazy white. 

　　For some reason, not even the Undying Physique fixed his eyes at the moment. Alex suspected that while his eyes had already absorbed all the energy from the past, it still would take some time to refine and process them.

　　But, a month had passed so the next vial of paste needed to go into his eyes again.

　　This time, his eyes didn't feel any pain as he was already numb to it. He could only wait and see what sort of amazing vision he would get from his eyes.

　　Aside from his eyes, his mind improved quite a bit too. Although, it was barely noticeable.

　　With around 20 to 30 meters increase in his spiritual sense over the last year or so, the mask was doing its work, but it wasn't as substantial as Alex would have hoped it would be.

　　Of course, there were 8 more stages to go, but he wanted to take his time with that.

　　Early morning, Alex opened his eyes and stopped cultivating. Pearl was next to him cultivating as well, and Alex made him stop.

　　Whisker was asleep since he had nothing to do, so Alex made him wake up now that the sun had come up.

　　He opened the door and walked out. It was a snowy morning, with fresh snow falling onto the land. As soon as it fell, however, it melted in the heat of the land.

　　Alex made his way towards the garden, but everyone was already there, harvesting the plants.

　　"Oh, am I not needed?" Alex asked when he arrived.

　　"We're almost done," Fan Li said as she stood up. "You should go check if your little garden is done or not."

　　"Okay," Alex said and left them. He arrived at his own small garden, which was only small in comparison but was actually rather large.

　　He spent some time getting rid of the weeds which Whisker helped in as well. He was starting to learn which plants weren't needed here after watching Alex do the same thing over and over, and was starting to help out Alex whenever he could.

　　Alex smiled as he realized that opening his spiritual sea had made Whisker smarter than normal.

　　'I should start teaching him how to speak soon,' Alex thought.

　　About an hour later, just as he was about to finish harvesting some of the ingredients that were ready here, Fan Yanshi came up to him and called him to the village.

　　"What's wrong?" Alex asked.

　　"The sect's people are going to come here soon to take the harvest and pay us. I thought you would be wanting to see that," Fan Yanshi said.

　　"Oh, yeah," Alex said and left the work. He walked back to the village where nearly a hundred people have gathered around.

　　Alex knew how many people there were in the village, but he had never seen all of them together, so the amount looked a bit larger than normal.

　　A few minutes into waiting, he saw Fan Yanshi point towards a black spot in the distant snow that was slowly getting larger.

　　Alex looked through Whisker's eyes, but that spot still looked quite blurry even when Fan Yanshi and a few others could already see it very clearly.

　　After the black spot got a little closer, Alex finally saw a few people sitting on top of a dark flying boat as they arrived close to the village.

　　The boat stopped once they were in the village and Alex sensed their aura from them.

　　Mind Tempering realm.

　　'Is that… good or bad?' he wondered. Looking at the people's age that had just come in, they were about 20 or so years old, around the same age as what would be considered genius back in the Crimson Empire, and maybe even the Luminance Empire.

　　However, he wasn't sure what was considered genius here. 

　　'Damn, I really need some information about this world that these villagers just can't give me,' he thought.

　　"Fan Yanshi!" A man shouted as he jumped off the boat. "I hope you've prepared a proper harvest this time around."
