Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2052

Chapter 2052 Some Progress

"If you enter this place, you need to be ready to—"

"Fight, yes. I know," Alex said as he entered the Bloody Graveyard. "I've been here before."

"Oh..." the young girl that spoke up calmed down and watched as Alex walked in through the side end of the graveyard.

There were 3 entrances in total that led to the graveyard. One was at the bottom, closest to the maze. The second one was toward the top, facing the other end of the secret realm. Finally, the last one was the one that Alex had entered through the first time around. The side.

Alex was entering through the maze-facing entrance this time around since he needed to follow the pathway and see where it led.

Walking in, a lot of different people looked at him, quite a few of them recognizing him. Many pointed at him, but none of them tried to talk with him.

Alex entered the barrier that was up inside the graveyard and quickly followed the path on the inside. He had seen the pathway here before, but his focus at the time had been on the gravestones, so he needed to pay attention to it again.

The pathway surprisingly branched within the spleen, forking into smaller pathways on the inside, which snaked around the graveyard into many smaller pathways, all of which either joined back together or made their way to the other two entrances. ÚpTodated novels on no(v)el()bin(.)com

Alex noted down the change and stopped for a moment to see all the possible meridians inside of the body that followed this route. There were a lot more meridians this far up the body, so even though he was getting more concrete information on the route of the technique, the possibilities were still quite high.

He would have to keep lowering it through the other pathways.

"Hey, do you want to fight?" a voice called, and Alex looked up.

The man before him was one he hadn't seen before. "I'm not interested," Alex said and went back to focusing on his body.

"Ooh, that's a bad choice," the man said with a bit of a chuckle. "Don't you know that refusing a fight will get you targeted by every single person in the graveyard? I would suggest you change your stance on whether you want to fight or not."

"I won't," Alex said. "If anyone wants to come after me, they are free to do so."

The man laughed. "Hey! This guy refuses to fight me," he shouted. "Come help me teach him a lesson."

Many heads turned in their direction, and a few people even stood up to fight as that was the rule of the graveyard. But the majority remained seated, not moving in the slightest. Some even went as far as to whisper something to the ones that stood, forcing them to sit back down.

The man looked at everyone, frowning. "What's going on? Are you all lazy? Come on! We have to attack him," he said. "Didn't you say that was the rule when you took us in?"

"They didn't take over the place, so we came back to stay here," she said. "The graveyard doesn't suit us since we aren't interested in fighting."

Alex nodded. "And you can't join any other groups?"

"We made an oath not to join any when we were defeated. We were allowed to stay because of that," she said. "So, we have no choice but to be by ourselves."

Alex nodded. "Thank you for the answer," he said.

"You aren't from any group?" she asked.

"Not at the moment," he said.

"Huh? I'm surprised you were able to survive this long without being in one," she said.

"I was in the maze the majority of the time," Alex said. "No groups there."

"Right..." she said. "I should probably go there as well."

Alex nodded and left her alone. He followed the path there to the very end and closed his eyes again to consolidate the information he had gathered and throw away all the possible meridian paths that did not follow what he had discovered.

Another chunk of possibilities was cut down, but there were still a host of them remaining, all of which were going to split further when he reached the other organs.

Still, progress was progress, and he was making a good amount of it.

It had been some time since he cultivated, so he called out Pearl and Whisker to give them an update and sat around to cultivate with them.

The cultivation lasted no longer than until the sun came up at which point it was time for him to leave once again.

He had been through 3 of the 7 organs he needed to go to, so only 4 remained now.

2 lungs, a heart, and a brain. The next few places would certainly be much more difficult though as they were all certainly under the control of major groups.

He hoped they had defeated each other, but he had to keep his expectations in check.

Once morning rolled around, Alex got up from where he sat, placed the two beasts back into the secret realm, and made his way to the closest garden.
