Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 1744

Chapter 1744 Absorbing Blood

The nearly 3-kilometer wide sphere of floating blood-red water had remained in the darkness of the void inside of Alex's soul space that it almost looked as though it was something made of smooth red marble instead of being liquid.

There were no fluctuations to the object, no disturbance of any sort. In a world with no gravity, it had found its shape a long time ago.

The water was also tens of thousands of kilometers away from anything else in his body, so it had remained perfectly safe until now.

However, Alex did wonder if the life energy that his Soul Space seemed to form all the time had caused any problem. He hoped not.

Alex had tried figuring out if there were ways to bring out just the blood from the bloody water, but he couldn't find any. So, he was now forced to do it the normal way.

Alex brought out Memory and made it as large as he could, which ended up being as large as his entire room, then, he filled it with the bloody water and jumped inside it, sinking to the bottom of the cauldron full of water.New novel chapters are published on

Then, he absorbed all the blood aura that was inside of the water.

During the first few minutes, Alex wasn't even sure if anything was happening. It was only afterward that he felt the faintest blood aura flowing into his body and only then did he know that he was doing the right thing.

He continued absorbing, albeit very slowly due to the diluted concentration of the blood in the water, and kept it going for nearly 2 hours. By that time, he realized that he had cultivated all that he could using the blood in the water. Whatever remained, while still full of Qi, was useless for Alex's blood.

'Is should give this to the two plants,' Alex thought and took back all the water.

He refilled it after a while again and restarted again, going for 2 more hours, absorbing as much blood as he could.

Alex's blood aura was already as strong as Saint Transformation's 5th realm, so the improvement he showed was so very slow that it felt as though he was wasting his time.

But Alex knew he wasn't wasting any time with this, so he kept going. He cultivated for days in a row and didn't even manage to go through just a quarter of the entire amount of blood he had.

'I'm being limited by the size of my room,' Alex thought. While Memory had expanded to fill the entire room, it could grow to be much larger still, so Alex had to use a more spacious place.

Alex ate another beast core to cultivate. This time around, it was a core he knew he hadn't killed while he had been sane. The reason for choosing one such as that was to experiment on exactly if he was correct or not.

He wanted to see if the beast remembered him or not.

The seahorse beast that formed in Alex's mind did not recognize him at all. It was different from the first beast in that it seemed quite arrogant and much less confused, but it hadn't recognized Alex like the squid had.

"I'm dead, aren't I? How did that happen?" the Seahorse asked.

It seemed it was still aware of its own demise, just not the situation surrounding it.

"I killed you," Alex said simply.

The seahorse got angry and attacked Alex. The next instant, it was dead.

"Well that was different," he said to himself. "So it's not just impression, but their personality too. This one wasn't confused but angry. I will have to do a bit more experiments."

Alex appeared back outside and absorbed the energy of the core that now flowed through his body. It was a lot of energy from one core and he absorbed it all thoroughly, improving everything he needed to.

He cultivated the next two days with that energy and at the end of it, he felt ready to break through, although due to the side effect of the exceptional cultivation pill, he had to wait a week to cultivate again as his meridians were very stressed right then.

Alex spent the next week underwater once again, improving his blood aura just that much.

Then, when he was ready, he cultivated for the next 2 days using no external aids this time, and by the end broke through once again.

Alex had now reached Saint Soul 6th realm.

He still had around a year left before he needed to go back to the Eastern Continent, so he decided to keep going and see just how far he could go with his cultivation in that time.
