Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

"Good!" Godslayer said. 

"Still, I will need to learn it all perfectly. Let me try to put together the entire book that the sect leader read. I got fragments at most and need to make sure what he understood from it was what was in the book," Alex said.

"Wasn\'t the book destroyed?" Godslayer asked.

"Yes. I\'m going to see it from his memories and reconstruct it in my mind," Alex said and started doing so. Godslayer went silent and let Alex do what he wanted to do.

Alex not only reconstructed the book in his head from the hundreds of different flashes of memories he had seen in the sect leader\'s mind. That had been the second time he had used the Spirit Search technique, and it had been just as useful as previously.

It did, however, use up a lot of spiritual energy to do so. 

He could unfortunately never use it on someone that was stronger than him when it came to mental strength.

Alex cultivated as well during this time, not wasting any time he had with him. More than a day passed before he opened his eyes again. By now, he had already gotten what he could from the sect leader\'s memories, and there wasn\'t anything significant that the sect leader had missed from what it seemed.

He spoke with his beasts for a while and went to meet with his elders who would be worried about him at the moment. He talked to them for a bit, getting rid of their worries, and then went to talk with the King.

The King was saddened to learn that it did not work between him and Talia. He proposed to arrange a few more dates if he wanted to, but Alex didn\'t want it, so he didn\'t force him.

The King was at least happy that he was choosing to stay as friends instead.

Alex then learned about what had happened to the Frosted Glacier sect after he had left.

Because the sect leader and most of the elders had died, the sect had no administration to handle itself. With a lot of the disciples and elders dying because of what the sect leader was doing, the remaining ones had run away the moment they learned of what had happened.

With few elders and no disciples remaining, the sect was disbanded, and its assets taken over by the Kingdom and the Empire.

The King had obtained half the assets and after talking with his officials, he had decided to donate what he had gotten to the many orphanages in the Kingdom so that they could have a better time raising the orphans.

According to the King, the Head Legion\'s members had also decided upon creating a temporary organization that would travel to all the different sects, families, and any large enough organization and see how they were treating its members.

They did not want people out here performing demonic practices that sacrificed human lives as if they were nothing.

"The Emperor didn\'t make that decision? The Head Legion did all by itself?" Alex asked.

"The Head Legion has full permission to do what they want as long as they all collectively believe it is the correct thing to do for the empire," the King answered. "They are the Head Legion for a reason because they can make decisions for the empire."

"I do remember hearing about that now that you say it," Alex mulled over the information.I think you should take a look at

"What do you wish to do now, your Majesty?" the King asked.

"It\'s been 2 days since the kids were brought back, so I think I will go and check on them," Alex said. "I need to make sure they don\'t have any other problems that they need treating."

"I will have the general come with you this time around. Since you\'re not going to go on a date, I hope you won\'t go there alone," the King said.

Alex chuckled a bit. "It\'s not like you let me go alone," he said. "You sent your own guard to watch after me."

The King smiled. "I\'ll let the general know then."

General Fan of the tail legion, the man that had come with him from the Dragon Capital finally got to do his job and was able to stay by his side.

"Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you again, your majesty," the man said quickly. "I swear I will not disappoint you."

"I don\'t think there is any disappointment to be made around me, General. You can relax a little."

The General smiled, but he still walked with a stiff posture as they went toward the Orphanage.

Alex was invited with a lot of greetings and gratitude from not just the people that ran the orphanage, but also the kids there themselves. The little girl that had first told him to go to Talia even thanked him for saving so many of them.

Alex couldn\'t help but feel happy learning that these kids were happy themselves.

Talia was already in the Orphanage, so she quickly came out and greeted Alex. "Your majesty, you\'re here early," she said. "And you\'re not wearing your mask?"

"I\'m not going for a date this time around, so I have no reason to hide where I\'m going this time around," Alex said with a smile.

Talia chuckled a bit and took him to check on the children that they had brought back. 

Alex checked them thoroughly, to the best of his ability. He was a doctor, so he used his Qi to check through their meridians to see if that was hurt and then checked through their blood vessels for the rest of the organs.

Then, after checking through them with his spiritual sense, he was certain that there wasn\'t anything physically wrong with them. He also checked their mind and memories to make sure the pill didn\'t have any deteriorating effects and was thankful to find that it didn\'t.

Of course, a pill recipe stored in the treasury of the Phoenix Palace wouldn\'t be so bad that it left after-effects. By the end of the hour, he was certain the kids had nothing wrong.

Then, he went to the backyard and gathered the kids around to tell more stories of the places he had visited and what amazing places there were in the world.

Over the next few weeks, Alex visited this orphanage a few more times to tell his stories and share with them many pills that he made for the kids there himself. 

Other times, he went around the city to look at what it had to offer. Talia volunteered to guide a few of those times, but most other times Alex was either with his elders or just alone.

Then, once those few weeks passed, it was time for him to leave as the Endless Shadow Abyss was just a few days away from opening.
