Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

The black wall started giving off heat as Alex slowly used his dao to increase its temperature. He tried his best to limit the heat within the wall itself, but he couldn't stop it from spreading through all the walls of the cave, rather than just a small portion of it.

He tried his best to send the heat back into the wall, but since he was already focusing on melting the ore, he couldn't divert his intent to the other parts as well.

Thankfully, Scarlet was there to help him. All she did was stay where she was and lower the temperature of the wall around her so that the heat didn't reach any other side of the mountain.

As the wall heated up, it started glowing a warm orange glow. Then, as he continued adding on the heat, it glowed bright red and started slowly dripping down the wall.

Alex used his True Fire Dao to the best of his ability to make the ore even more liquid than it already was, while also reducing the amount of heat his body was suffering due to being close to such a bright molten metal.

If not for using his dao to stop himself, Alex would've already burned away most of his clothes the first few seconds he started working on it.

It only took a few more minutes before the wall started dripping like molten candlewax and fell to the ground.

Alex quickly brought out Memory and increased its size to collect the molten ore. Because Memory was specifically made with the components that were used in forges that melted this very ore, the molten ore wouldn't cause any problem at all.

Scarlet did her best to cool everything down except for the giant hole in the wall that was melting at the moment. Ronron was beyond surprised at just what was happening right now.

Her father was melting the wall in front of them and yet she couldn't feel a single change in the temperature around her. She was extremely impressed by both her father and Scarlet's control over the heat and wondered if she could ever reach such a level too.

By the time Alex was done with it all, there was a massive hole in the middle of the wall, large enough to be a new pathway through the tunnel itself.

He looked down at the amount of metal he had collected and he himself was quite surprised.

"That's probably over 500 tons right there," he thought to himself. With that much ore, he could gain about 200 tons of Starforged Tungsten. With that, he could make many swords and other artifacts he wanted to make.

'This had taken me about 4 weeks to collect so much,' he thought. 'And now, it only took me an hour at most.'

He took the cauldron and started rapidly cooling the molten ore inside of it. He wasn't worried about the ore being stuck to the cauldron after cooling down as he could just expand the size of the cauldron, even more, to easily take out the ores from inside of it.

It took him a few minutes and a lot of Qi to fully cool down the cauldron full of ore. Once he was done, he put it all inside his storage ring and brought out Midnight.

"What are you doing now?" Scarlet asked with a weird look on her face.

"Those people waiting outside will be expecting us to bring out some ores, so if we go out without any, they will start getting suspicious and that will be annoying."

He turned around and struck the edges of the giant hole in the wall. After a few hits, quite a bit of it came loose. After taking that and the ones that had dripped onto the ground, Alex decided it was time to leave.

Outside the mine, the disciples working to take away the ore took away half from both of their storage bags before returning their own storage bags to them.

After that, they flew away from the Endless tunnel, making their way to the Blazing Earth sect.

It didn't take them more than an hour of time to reach the Blazing Earth Sect since Alex sped up his boat as fast as it could go.

As soon as they arrived, they got off the ship and went to meet Liz and the rest.

Liz and Graham had been waiting for him to arrive before they continued any talk with the elders.

So, Alex and Ronron were quickly taken by the two to another room where the elders had been waiting for them.New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

Alex entered the room first before the rest followed him inside.

He saw Tai Guan, Bai Qiyi, as well as other elders that he hadn't seen before. However, judging from their cultivation base, they weren't nobodies at all.

'These must be the ancestors that no longer actively work in the sect,' Alex thought.

"Welcome, King of the Southern Continent," the elders and ancestors all bowed toward him.

Alex nodded and sat down on a seat that was prepared for him. "I hear you guys aren't letting my aunt leave. Is that true?" he asked.

"That is in fact true," Tai Guan said. "We cannot let her leave the sect after how much the sect had spent to train her and help her reach where she is now."

Alex nodded. "That is true, but do you really want to keep her here against her will?" he asked. "You do realize that with me being a King, she is now a princess of the Southern Continent too, right? Do you really wish to hold the princess of a continent hostage?"

The many people in the room suddenly broke out in sweats when they heard that. They had considered this to be a problem, but they did not expect Alex to bring it up as soon as he walked in.

"You do know that I can just take her away if I want to, right?" Alex asked.

"Yes," Bai Qiyi said. "However, we were hoping you would not."

"You were hoping to be compensated with something in return for all the resources you've used up for my aunt, is that it?" Alex asked.

The elders couldn't hide the answer from their faces. That was what they wanted; A compensation that is worth enough to replace his aunt.

"To be honest, yes, that is what we want," one of the older men said. "While we will be saddened to see such a talent get taken away, we know that we cannot hold her here, especially given her status now. However, if we can get something in return for letting her go, we will highly appreciate the gesture."

Alex stayed silent for a bit as he looked around.

"Al, can you help them? I don't want them to be at a loss after I leave too," Liz said.

"Son, can't you do something?" Graham asked.

Alex looked toward the group. "Let me guess, you want some other pill recipes aside from the 3 I gave you, don't you?" he asked.

"We can't deny that you have the best recipes out there," the ancestors said.

"Well, that sucks for you since I won't be giving you anything alchemy related at all," Alex said. "However, what I give you will most likely be something far better for your sect than just some lousy pill."
