Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2042

Chapter 2042 An Explosive Outcome

Alex used the shield as it flew up front, immediately accepting the attack that was thrown at it. The shield was made in a way that it could store Qi within it. There was a large reserve within it, and Qi stored within it would automatically be concentrated to become stronger. That concentrated Qi could be used later to defend against people regardless of their cultivation base.

What mattered was not the strength of the Qi of the person who used it, but rather the amount of Qi within that shield. So, even as a weak cultivator, Alex could use it to defend against people of much higher cultivation.

A row of attacks landed on the shield, completely stopped by it. Alex put the shield down as soon as the attack's hand landed and sent a sword slash across.

He couldn't immediately defeat all of them as he was still supposed to be hiding some of his powers, so he only made the attack as strong as Immortal Ascendant 8th realm.

That was easily defended against by the group of cultivators, but that was his intention all along. He had something else prepared for them. Just as everyone recovered from Alex's sword slash, a few things flew toward them, all at once.

3 pills arrived right before many of the people, and while some managed to react to the pills, it did not matter.

3 different massive explosions shook the ground, sending shockwaves throughout the area. Immediately a bunch of teleportation aura bloomed in multiple locations as people were sent away one by one.

A single one of the pills that Alex tossed their way would have been enough to take out a high Immortal Origin realm cultivator, let alone such weak Immortal Ascendant realm cultivators. It was something that Lan Douhan had used to distract and then kill an Immortal Transcendent realm elder back when they were running away from the Poison Fighters sect.

Such a strong pill was just too much for any of those people to survive against.

Or so Alex thought.

Still, he had managed to gather some information. He knew the general size of the group of humans there, the types of plants and ingredients that grew there, and the alchemical worth of the entire garden.

To his surprise, there were only 60 or so people in their group. He would've guessed hundreds if not thousands had he been forced to make a guess. 'So few,' Alex thought.

The fact that they were still left alone by the other groups meant that these people were either strong enough to be left alone with so few people, or the other places had just these few people as well.

'I just took out over 10 people, how wildly did I cripple their strength?' Alex thought.

Even if they had 100 people, with 10% of their group gone in a single scuffle, they could not afford to do it. Was that why they weren't following him?

Alex checked in his Soul Space and saw 8 more of such pills. It seemed he was safe from people for now.

The other information he got from Whisker included the fact that there were different Alchemy ingredients inside of the garden and their worth. It was no different than what he had seen from the outside in both of those gardens.

There was one other thing that Whisker noticed that was quite weird about the garden that he couldn't explain at all.

From what Alex could see through Whisker's vision, a soft yet strong wind would blow through the entire garden moving in one direction, before coming back in the other direction, moving the plants to its motions.

Because of the wind, the gardens truly appeared to be 'breathing'. 'Continue searching the garden,' Alex told Whisker. 'Try and see if you can find the source of the breathing. if not, find any statue or monument that could have a text written on it or a saber hidden within it.'

With that, Whisker went back into duty.
