Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2197

Chapter 2197 Spiritual Root Grafting

Alex could have done what he was about to do without telling the woman, but he found that in itself more demonic than the act could ever be. Which was why he decided to let her know what he was going to do instead of keeping her in the dark.

Still, he didn't tell her everything. Everything the girl knew was that she was going to have a part of her spiritual root removed and then healed back up to hopefully no longer be a problem.

He absolutely did not want to have to explain to her how it was that he had come across another spiritual root that he could place into her body. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The young woman prepared herself for the surgery and Alex gave her a pill to eat.

"What is this?" She was puzzled at the sight of the pill.

"Something to get you knocked out while I work on your spiritual root," he said. "Or else the pain will be too much for you to handle."

The young woman slowly nodded. "Isn't there a pill to just have me not feel pain?" she asked.

"There is but this is simpler for me," Alex told her. "If you begin freaking out in the middle of the surgery, that would be bad for me. I don't want to have to deal with that."

"Oh... okay." The girl did not disagree any more. She did everything Alex told her to, including taking an oath to never speak of this situation to anyone ever again. She ate the pill and soon fell asleep on the mat. She believed that was where she was going to be treated, but Alex couldn't afford to deal with her here.

Especially not since he was doing this in the middle of a street. Sanitation alone would be an issue, not to mention the fact that anyone with a strong enough Spiritual sense or Divine sense could possibly have a way to look into his barrier using methods he did not understand and see what he was doing.

Alex didn't entirely know if what he was doing was demonic. But on the more than slim chance that it was, he didn't want to implicate himself by asking the question. He needed to bring up the topic naturally.

'It can't be demonic if I'm helping someone, right?' Alex thought. But then, he had buckets full of frozen spiritual roots in his Soul Space, all taken from corpses, waiting for the time when he could use them, so who really knew?

"You came here with an issue with your body aching while you cultivated," Alex said. "I am certain I have healed you, but just to be safe, would you mind cultivating?"

The woman paused for a moment and carefully checked herself. She prepared herself to feel pain, but to her surprise, there was nothing. The flow of Qi felt... amazing instead. She had never felt cultivation be this easy before.

"Did... did you really heal me?" she asked. "How do I not remember?"

"That's a side effect of the process. Don't worry, you shouldn't have lost too much time," Alex said.

The woman was confused, but she couldn't say anything in opposition to Alex's words. "That seems to be," she said and got up. "Am I fully healed? Will there be an issue later on?"

Alex shook his head. "If the issue was to happen, it would've happened already," he said. "You are safe. Go ahead, you won't feel the pain again."

The woman left, a little uncertain, but feeling mostly happy that she no longer felt pain while cultivating.

Alex walked out of the barrier after her and sat back on the empty seat. He had finally done something with what he had trained for with spiritual roots. It was a small thing, nothing as great as what he really wanted. But it was something nonetheless.

He had to wait only for a few minutes when another customer appeared before him. Finally, it was an Immortal realm cultivator that had come to him.

"Are you open to help?" he asked.

"I am," Alex said. "Is there any issue I can help you with?"

The man hesitated for a bit. "It's a private matter. Can we go somewhere more private?" he asked, looking around before noticing the barrier. "There. Let's go there."

Alex nodded. "Sure, follow me."
