Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 1954 To Sunlight City

Alex flew for nearly half an hour in the Immortal ship he was on, and yet he hadn't arrived at any sort of cities along the way, just a bunch of small towns that he didn't want to stop at just yet.

He needed to get away from the sect as much as possible.

"Should we distribute the loot?" Alex asked. "Since you killed her and I took the loot out, I say we split it half and half."

"Just give me some spirit stones and some pills, and I'll be fine. I have everything else that I could possibly want," Fang Yuxie said, as she leaned against the side of the ship, relaxed.

Alex gave her a small split of the loot and kept the rest for himself. The old woman had a rather significant amount of spirit stones with her, nearing almost 150 thousand in total.

Now that he had split it along with the girl, he had about 70 thousand left for himself. Adding onto the spirit stones he had managed to earn in the last 2 years he had been working, Alex now had close to 120 thousand Spirit stones.

Never had he expected that he would be making this much money in less than five years of coming to this world.

'How much more do I need to get out of here?' he wondered. What he had was a small fortune for sure, but he would most definitely need a lot more than that to go to the next world over.

If only he had a more accurate knowledge of how much was needed. That and when the next teleportation was.

In the end, Alex gave up on worrying about it for now. There was still a lot of time before he would get around to gathering a fortune.

Today had been a long day, so he just wanted to relax for now.

Alex sighed and rested on the ship as it moved through the land, making sure not to get too close to towns and other locations where he could be potentially trespassing.

"Do you know the geography around here?" Alex asked. "What is the closest big city? Or if there are sects or other places we can't fly through."

"You're safe for now. We're moving eastward, and there is nothing in that direction that you should be worrying about. There aren't many big sects around here. We already went past the closest one, and the next closest one is nowhere near our path."

"As for cities, there a city far in the east, about… 3 hours away at the speed we are moving in. It's the eastern most city in the Blue Silk continent, called the Sunlight City. Do you want to go there?"

Alex thought for a bit. He wanted to visit the city where Tai Guidao had buried his parents, just to pay his respects to them and maybe make a grave for Tai Guidao, but he wasn't aware of what that place was.

Alex wished he asked for the name when Tai Guidao was talking about his parents. He remembered Tai Guidao calling it a town, but beyond that, there was no name.

He had to go somewhere else instead now.

"What direction is the Blue Silk sect in?" he asked.

"What do you want with that sect?" Fang Yuxie asked.

"Elder Lan said I should join the sect when I could. Since I have nowhere to go, I am thinking of joining it."

The woman chuckled when hearing that. "You… you think can join the Blue Silk sect?" she asked.

Alex was taken aback by her reaction. "Why not?" he asked.

"Ignoring the fact that they will now have records of you in their database from raiding our sect, you are too weak to join them. They are the biggest sect of the continent, but so they have to set up a competitive environment so that they don't end up having too many useless disciples."

"Only the best of the best can join their sect every few years. And from what I know, the very first thing they check is your cultivation base."

"Considering even I wouldn't be guaranteed an entry into their sect, I suggest you give up on that idea," she said.

Alex frowned. He wasn't so worried about his information being with them. He had Elder Lan to vouch for the fact that he didn't really belong to the sect. Not to mention, he had only been there for a few years at most and would have had no chance to join their inner circles at all.

What he was worried about was his cultivation base. Despite how strong he was, from an outsider's perspective, he was someone who had only just managed to enter the Immortal realm.

"Do they not do any other tests where I could maybe ignore the first requirement?" he asked.

The girl shrugged. "I never thought about joining them, so I don't really know much. I suggest you try it for yourself and see what the requirements are. Don't trust me completely."

Alex nodded. "I will do that," he said.

After some consideration, he decided to go toward the Sunlight City for now. As he thought, the ship sped forward going faster now.

"Seems like you made your choice," Fang Yuxie said. "So, where are we going?"

"We?" Alex asked. "I assumed you would be leaving me, now that we are far away from the sect."

"No," the woman said simply. "I spent my last few centuries thinking about nothing but how I would kill that woman. Now that I have, I have no idea what I want to do with my life. So let me stay with you for a while, until I want to do something else with my life."

Alex frowned at first but then shrugged. "Sure," he said. "I wouldn't mind having someone who knows her way around the world. I'm still too new to it."

"Great!" Fang Yuxie said with a bright smile. "So, same question again. Where are we going?"

"Sunlight City," Alex answered. "We'll go there, gather some information, sell some of the loot, and do whatever else I can think of later. If it appears it might be possible for me to enter the Blue Silk sect, I will go there too."

The woman smiled. "Works for me."

Alex gave the reign for the ship to the woman for some time while he cultivated just a bit. There was still a bit of the rogue Qi leftover from the poisons he had devoured throughout the day.

Dealing with the rogue Qi took almost no time at all, and Alex managed to gain a bit more Qi as well. On the move, the Qi he got from the surroundings was a lot less dense than what he was used to in the sect.

He wondered why that was. Maybe he had just been in the sect for too long and had forgotten what the outside was like.

When he got to the city, the situation was bound to get better.

"Oh, we arrived faster than I thought," the woman said from the front, pointing toward a brightly glowing city with a large ocean behind it in the distance.

They had finally reached the Sunlight City.
