Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 1915 Thirsty Book

It took a while before Alex realized that maybe this was not how this was supposed to go. He was supposed to feed the book once a few weeks, for months if not a year before the next stage was unlocked.

But because he had the Undying God\'s Physique, he could continuously pump out blood from his body of top quality so long as he had Qi in his body.

This went on for hours before Alex ran completely dry of blood. He was simply flabbergasted at how much blood the book drained from him, and yet no new page opened at all.

"MORE BLOOD~ BLOOOOD~!!"

"Dear god! This book is insatiable. What happened to it?"

Alex felt tired and lethargic after all that. He neither had a blood aura in his body nor Qi, so he stopped what he was doing to instead go cultivate for now.

Anything else he might\'ve wanted to do had to wait for now.

"I\'ll give you all the blood you want," Alex said. "So you better give me something good in return, book."

"BLOOOD~"

It spoke one last time before Alex put it into his Soul Space.

After cultivating for the entire night and a majority of the next morning, Alex went to do some maintenance on the house he had taken as a mission. After he completed part of it, he went to Zan Dashi\'s house to look after his poison plants.

After yesterday, the poison plants appeared in a much healthier state. They were still wilting, but anyone could tell now that they were worth saving. Alex did what he had to do on the plants and left to go back home.

A week later, Alex finally completed his mission.

It had been about 2 months since he came to the Poison Fighters sect, and barely anything had happened. He could just tell how slow Immortal life was now.

Everyone lived for thousands and thousands of years, making everyone wait around a lot before doing anything. Time was never of the essence here.

Alex finally began cultivating in his free time and learned the techniques he gained from the Alchemy God. He also fed his blood to the Blood God\'s Manual, which it drank without ever seeming to be satisfied.

Alex also continued helping Zan Dashi with his plants, while learning as much as he could about the sect.

Apparently, greater missions were not just locked behind how many contributions one had, but also what ranking they had.

Almost all of the missions where one could leave the sect required one to be at least among the Inner Sect ranking.

That meant Alex had to rank 2000 or higher.

He wondered if it was a good idea to stand out like that. How could he explain how fast he learned the physique?

The rankings itself updated once a year, after the Poison Assembly. While people could improve their rank before that, because it did not become official until the assembly, most waited for the assembly to request a higher grade poison.

It was also a way to show off to many others.

While rankings were changed every year, the place one stayed in wasn\'t changed for 10 years. Meaning, thateven if one got first in the ranking, they had to wait a long while before they could take over their residence.

"We are 3 years away from the next decade\'s ending," Zan Dashi had told Alex. "While the Poison Assembly should be in the next 2 months."

Alex was ready for the assembly. The Elders wouldn\'t be expecting much from him, but he would most certainly try to enter the top 5000 in rank, so others would not be very surprised.

Then he would enter the top 4000 next year, and the top 3000 the year after that. Then finally, inthe year when they were supposed to change houses, he would enter the Top 2000 and become an Inner Sect disciple.

That was for now the plan Alex had come up with.

3 more months passed and it was time for the assembly. By now, Alex had managed to learn the techniques he had been learning before and cultivated a decent bit.

However, at the speed he was going with his cultivation base, he had come to realize that the next couple of cultivation bases wouldn\'t be very difficult for him.

Because his body and soul were now connected, Alex could somewhat body cultivate just during regular Qi cultivation where his Soul naturally got stronger.

That made it much easier for him to body cultivate later on with his Mountain Crushing Artifact.

His Blood Aura was also much stronger than his cultivation base for now, which meant it wouldn\'t need much from him to break through the next few cultivation realms.

Alex wasn\'t sure about how many just yet though. He was only confident that it would be easy until Immortal Ascendance 3rd realm.

Another thing that happened during thisperiod of timewas that the Blood God\'s Manual had finally had enough of his blood and was satiated. The fifth page of the book had glowed white and opened up.

Only, the page it landed on had been completely blank.

Alex tried everything he could do to try and get some text to appear on the page, but there was simply nothing there at all. In the end, all Alex could do was hope it would show up later.

If that didn\'t happen, he would know for certain he had been ripped off.

Alex left his courtyard and waited for Tai Guidao to show up. Tai Guidao rushed up to Alex with a sly grin on his face. "Brother Dawnblade, how do you think you fare in today\'s assembly?" he asked.

"I\'ve been training my hardest, brother Tai," Alex said. "I am planning on showing the fruits of my labor soon."

"Oh, I am hoping to get some good ranking too. As long as I\'m not last, I\'m fine," the man said.

Since the last entrance exam was done just 6 months ago, no new person had joined the sect just yet, and as such Alex was the last in ranking for now.

They arrived at the valley where all the disciples were gathered around already, waiting for the assembly to begin. There were no fixed seats or standing lines, so everyone stood around in groups, talking among each other.

Alex stood around with Tai Guidao for a while before the elders came out flying in the sky, and began calling out names.

Alex looked at the elders, but his eyes were focused on 3 people flying far in the back. 3 old men with white hair and beard, who all looked identical.

He had heard about them. The triplet sect masters of the Poison Masters sect.

Teng Zhengmian, Teng Zhongjian, and Teng Houmian.

They were the sect masters who had established this sect 2000 years ago and were also the group of brothers who had discovered the Poison Fighting Physique manual from a long-

forgotten tomb, that they now decided to share with their sect.
