Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 1932

Chapter 1932 Another Assembly

Life became quite easy for Alex for the next year. With the new work he found for himself, he began earning enough money that he didn't have to worry about anything else.

For the first 10 days of every month, he worked the best he could to knock out all the pills he had to make, and then for the remaining 20 days, he was free to do whatever he wanted.

He spent most of that time training or cultivating, and some small amount of that time going around the sect, helping the likes of Liao Xumei and others who wanted him to look after their garden.

Alex didn't need to accept that work, but he was too bored most of the days and needed something to do in between when he wanted to relax. Taking care of the poison plants was in fact a way for him to relax.

Bai Wanzhao's death was made public a week or two after it had happened, and while it had been quite a shock, it was quickly forgotten. People moved on.

Alex was thankfully not bothered by the First Elder. He was certain she would hold grudges, but nothing had come of it. While it could be true that she had let go of her grudge, Alex believed more that she couldn't do anything due to the rules of the sect.

Most likely, she didn't want to do anything to put in jeopardy the rank she had finally managed to obtain. At least, not by killing someone that was not the definitive killer of her son.

Alex made significant improvement in his cultivation during this time, but still, he was nowhere close to being able to break through. It wasn't an exaggeration when they said breaking through in the Immortal realm took millennia.

Alex still had to wait many years. Thankfully, Pearl and Whisker were showing much better progress.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Pearl had broken through twice since coming to this realm, and Whisker had broken through once, and that was only because Alex didn't have the time to cultivate the Undying God's physique as much. If he did, he had no doubts that Whisker would have broken through many more times.

In Pearl's case, Pearl took his time with his breakthrough, just like Alex had on the last portion of his own breakthroughs.

While he wouldn't take 50 years like Alex had, he was still going to take a dozen or two years to reach Immortality.

After all, there was no hurry.

Elder Lan was quite happy with Alex's progress with his pills and had more than understood that he wasn't using him to the best of his potential.

"After the next Poison Assembly, I will let you make 15 pills a day. And maybe more if you feel like you can do it."

"It's quite dangerous, but since you have the pill, you should be fine."

After long enough, it was time for Tai Guidao to go up and take his poison. As he had said he would, he asked for the Brute Bloom poison, which was provided to him not a moment later.

Tai Guidao ate the poison and immediately began struggling.

Alex watched from the ground, watching with everyone else, as Tai Guidao began sweating profusely and then fidgeting heavily.

'It's not working,' Alex thought. Everyone could see that Tai Guidao had chewed on more than he could swallow. He was dying. At this rate, he would be the first to die.

Tai Guidao didn't immediately eat the pill, trying to see if he could maybe handle the poison. But it was apparent to everyone experienced that he wasn't going to make it.

'Don't be stubborn,' Alex thought. 'Eat the pill.'

As if hearing Alex's thoughts, Tai Guidao quickly opened the bottle he had been holding in his hand and downed the pill. He struggled for a moment longer before relief showed on his face.

The sweating stopped and he was only left panting. His face slowly took on color as all the poison was destroyed in his body. He had failed to rank up in this year's Poison Assembly.

Tai Guidao flew back down. "I failed," he said simply as if nothing important had happened.

"What happens now?" Alex asked. "Will you be expelled?"

"No, I knew something like this might happen, so I already took the test a few days ago with a simple poison," Tai Guidao said. "I will rank up based on that poison, and not this one."

"Ah!"

The man at least had the foresight to not throw away everything at once.

Then, a while later, Alex was called on to the sky.
