Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2223

Chapter 2223 Idiots

"If there is another house, please take these friends there," Pearl told the old man, then turned to the other three. "Please stay in that place for a day or two. We should be leaving this place within the next 2 days. You can move in then."

"We don't want to," one of the men said. "We are elders of the Everblade Sect. You do not want to face our sect's ire. Now hurry up and gather your belongings, not that I think you have any on you. Tsk." Nôv(el)B\jnn

The other man showed a disgusted face. "What sort of cultivator walks around with not even a single storage bag?"

"An Immortal," Pearl told them. "I fear you are under the misconception that I am weaker than you. I am not. I am an immortal. Do not anger me while I am being polite to you. Leave now."

The men felt a pang of fear when hearing Pearl's claim, but they quickly let go of the thought as they didn't see any signs of him being Immortal.

There was no overwhelming aura. His clothes were expensive. The people he was surrounded by were weak. They felt it was impossible for Pearl to be an Immortal.

"Your lies don't fool us, child," one of the men said. "We wish to go into our rooms as soon as we can, so make way for us quickly, or you will force us to move you away."

Pearl was incredibly confused now. "I told you I am an Immortal. Why are you still trying to mess with me?" he asked. He wondered if Alex ever had to deal with fools like these.

"Again, you are fooling nobody child," the man said. "Next time, try having something expensive on you so you can sell your act."

The man got closer. "Although, I suppose whatever this necklace you have on is doing a little for you," he said, reaching out. "What is it even?"

Before the man reached the necklace, however, Pearl caught the man's hand. "Do not... touch... something that does not belong to you," he said, slowly crushing the man's wrist with each emphasis. "For the last time, I will warn you all, you are in the presence of an Immortal. I do not care who you are, or what sect you are from. I do not care whether you think I am poor or not. But do not touch what is not yours."

He threw the man back, pushing him back onto the ground. The man was in pain, his wrist fully bleeding from the shards of bones that were sticking out. He looked toward Pearl in fear, tears filling his eyes.

The other two began shaking where they stood as well. "W-we we we..."

"I do not want to hear anything. Now, leave."

Pearl didn't have to say anything else. The three cultivators were gone, not just from before their house, but from the village itself. They flew off, likely going to stop in another village to rest.

"Wow!" Momo said from behind, surprised by the whole thing.

"Bastard! We are elders of the Everblade sect. You will let us go on ahead or—"

"Or what?" Alex asked, stepping closer. "You will attack me?"

"No fighting in the store," the clerk said from behind.

"Don't worry," Alex said. "Even if there is one, there won't be a fight."

"B-b-brother," the woman quickly stuttered while pointing to Alex's chest. "Look, that treasure."

The two men looked down, finally noticing what she was talking about. The moment they saw the treasure, their spine went cold.

"I-i-i-" the man stumbled through his words, trying to find the thing to say.

"Yes?" Alex asked. "You what?'

"Run!" the man shouted, rushing out of the door and flying away immediately.

Alex paused for a long while, confused. "What the hell was that?" The store clerk wasn't sure what he had witnessed just now either. "They seemed afraid of you. Are you someone important?" he asked.

"Not yet I'm not," Alex said. "But I hope to be in the future."

"We all do," the store clerk said, smiling. "Here, this is how much I can give you."

Alex looked through the spirit stones he received and nodded. "These will do. Thank you."

"No, thank you. It's been a while since pills this good have come to my store. One would have to go to the big cities to find these," the man said. "With pills this good, you should take part in that tournament that is happening soon."

"The Alchemy Tournament? That started 2 days ago," Alex told the man.

"Oh... bad luck then. Better luck next time, I suppose."

Alex smiled and gave a small nod goodbye before leaving the place to go back.
