Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 155: Unexpected Match


Chapter 155: Unexpected Match

Alex was on the final floor of the library walking around looking at the different books and records on the shelf. From time to time, he would stop in front of a shelf, pick a book, look at it for a big and then put it back. Any outsider looking at him would think that he wasn't able to find something that suited him.

But, on the contrary, his spiritual sense was in full focus, reading a book regarding Beast Companions. Finally, there he found some information that he had been desperately searching for.

"So, that is how beast companions learn to fight, huh," he sighed in relief knowing that Pearl wasn't an anomaly.

Beast Companions were born with inherent memories, or it might be more accurate to call them instincts. These instincts would allow them to learn how to fight, as well as learn new techniques.

Also, another thing the book mentioned that caught his eyes was that the more potential or talent a beast had, the longer a child they would remain.

"So, Pearl won't necessarily grow up from his child form until he has overcome his latent potential, huh. I wonder how long that will take." He then looked all over the book, trying to find specific information, but there just wasn't any.

"What about evolution though?" he kept searching but didn't find an answer. He decided to skip it for now and look at the other records. He walked up to another shelf and sent out his spiritual sense to search for other records that were free.

He needed to see if there was any record of his body in here. "Hmm…" he suddenly sensed an unusual record among the many. "Ah, is this one of the records that survived that fight 50 some years ago?" he wondered and started reading it.

The information in the record was very broken and scattered. From what he could gather, it mostly spoke of the writers wanting to return to the land where no one entered.

"Is this the sacred lands where nobody placed their foot on because it was so holy to them?" he kept on reading. The Tiger Sect was set near the land where no one stepped in. But they had to move locations to where they were now. The records spoke of their reluctance but gave no reasoning as to why.

"What was so sacred about that land?" he wondered. Finally, there was one bit of information that he managed to read.

Where the Fiery Earth embraces the Yin-like Water, the Golden Wood of Yang emerges.

"Fire, Earth, Yin, Water, Gold, Wood, and Yang. All of the 7 elements are in one place. Is it talking about some sort of Alchemy garden?" that was Alex's first thought. "Yin like water… what does that even mean? Also, Fiery Earth… why would earth be on fire? Not to forget the Golden Wood of Yang… huh?" the more he thought about the record, the more confused he was.

Maybe his master was confused as well, which was why he didn't mention this part.

He stopped thinking about it and read the other records. None of them had any vital information. Suddenly, his badge started vibrating. He took it out looked at it.

"98? I'm 12 levels higher than him. Why would he want to fight be? Whatever, I still have an hour." Alex decided to look around for a bit first. He spent the next 45 minutes reading as many of the records and books as he could and took a random book before leaving the library.

After the fourth floor, each additional floor had cost him 5 spirit stones each to enter. By the 8th floor, he had spent 21 spirit stones and didn't want to let it go to waste. So, he took a book that looked interesting.

He paid an additional 20 spirit stones for the book and left.

He quickly reached the fighting stage where the disciple with the 98th badge had registered for a fight with him. By the time he made it there, only 10 minutes were left on his timer.

"Number 86 and 98" the Elder called out. Alex walked up to the Elder and handed him his badge. His opponent also walked up to the elder to hand in his badge.

Alex turned around to see who his opponent was. When he saw who it was, he was shocked.

In front of him was a young and fat man about the same height as him. "You!!" Alex said in surprise.

"Not only did you disrespect me, but you also purposefully target my subordinates now. I will show you what the result is after you mess with me, boy." The man in front of Alex was Huo Tu.

The last few days, 2 of the people he fought had turned out to be lackeys of this guy. So, he had started to assume that Alex was targeting his subordinates on purpose to mess with him.

Alex started getting concerned. He had never expected the man in the 18th ranking himself to drop his ranking to the 98th position just to fight him. 'Sh*t. This is going to be troublesome,' he thought.

He looked at Huo Tu and saw that he was still in the Meridian Tempering 3rd realm like the last time he saw him. Alex being in the 3rd realm of Organ tempering was a bad match-up right now.

"Hey, isn't that senior brother Huo? What is he doing here?" someone recognized Huo Tu after he got on the stage.

"Did that kid challenge senior Huo?" somebody else asked.

"No, their rankings were 86 and 98. I think senior brother dropped his ranking to teach that guy a lesson."

"Who is he? Does anybody know?"

"His name is Yu Ming. He disrespected brother Huo, so he has come to take revenge today."

The lackeys started making noise, so more people started to gather to watch the match. The match between the two was turning out to be a spectacle before it even began.
