Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
chapter-1907

Alex was taught a bit more about the world and the sects before he was ready to be let go.

"Do you have any questions?" the old man asked.

Alex thought for a bit. "What sect or guilds do you come from, senior? You have to be here for some reason. Can you tell me the reason?"

Cai Dusong shrugged. "Someone has to take care of the newly ascended Immortals and acclimate them to the new world. That responsibility is given to a single person by the combined power of the 3 great sects every few thousand years."

"I was chosen 3000 years ago, and I will do this job for 2 thousand years more before I leave this for someone else."

"I see," Alex said. "And one more question. I might be getting ahead of myself here, but is there any way for a newly ascended Immortal like me to go to a different Immortal realm? Or is that just not possible?"

The old man looked at Alex with a curious look on his face. "You want to go to a different realm?" he asked.

"No, no, no. Not go to a different realm, no. I was just asking about the possibility surrounding it. How difficult it is to travel to another realm, and how often it is done. That sort of information."

The old man nodded. "Traveling to another realm is possible. There is a Teleportation formation in all 3 continents that you can use to go to various other human-controlled Immortal realms."

"They operate once every 10 years and teleport you to a preset realm. You can use them to go to the other realms but to do so, it will cost you a fortune."

"How much?" Alex asked.

The old man shook his head. "It's not something an Immortal like you or me can easily afford. You have to give up a fortune to get a chance to use that teleportation formation."

"I see…" Alex said. He hid his disappointment quite well. "Then I suppose I should forget about seeing the other realms for now."

"That you should. I have only been off-world twice now, and both times I was on a mission from my sect. There is a cheaper way too that y—" the man paused. "What am I saying? I cannot tell you such a thing."

The man shook his head. "Yes, forget about it for now."

Alex was curious about what the man had been about to say, but seeing him get defensive about the topic made him reluctant to bring it up.

"You said the teleportation formations are preset to a destination? Does that mean I can't choose where I want to go?" Alex asked.

"No," the man said. "These formations are set up by a bunch of Divine formation masters working together. It is not something that can be so easily changed. You can only go to one of the 3 preset locations."

"And what locations are those?" Alex asked.

The old man wondered if this was information he could tell a newly arrived Immortal, but upon consideration, he saw nothing wrong with giving that information away.

"From the Myriad Spirit Realm, you can teleport to either the Fiend's Sanctuary, the Divine Sanctuary Realm, or the Eclipsing Heaven realm," the man answered.

Alex couldn't help but be disappointed at the names. None of those were the Sky God's Palace.

"What if I want to go somewhere else?" he asked.

"Then you have to teleport again, and again until you reach your destination. All in all, you will have to take 3 teleportation formations on average, with a maximum of 5."

"Which is 50 years just to get there, right?" Alex asked.

"At most, yes," the old man answered.

"I see. What about the Immortal realms belonging to the demons? Are those at all possible to go to?" Alex asked.

"I don't believe there is any way to go to those realms directly. You will have to go to a beast realm first from the Sacred Lotus Dominion, and then go to the Demon realm that is connected through there. That is the only way."

"Thank you for indulging in my curiosities, senior. I have learned a lot today," Alex said.

"That was no trouble for me," the old man said. "And it is my job to answer your questions."

"What happens now?" Alex asked.

"Now, well… you decide what you want to do. In…" the man checked something. "In 8days' time, you will have to decide where you want to go. If you have no one to take you there, I'll provide you with some mode of transportation."

"Although, if you will take my word, choose one of the sects you got an invite from. As I mentioned before, you can always get stronger and change sect if you don't like it."

Alex nodded. "Thank you, senior," he said. "I will do exactly as you say."

Alex left the room and went back to his room where he began pouring himself into those talismans once again, trying to judge what was his best option based on what they had told him."

It was hard to judge those sects on just their words, but Alex had no choice. In the end, his entire reason for choosing these sects was to make use of them so he could go to a better place where he could hopefully gain a fortune to leave this world and go to the Sky God's Realm.

Reading through that talisman, Alex always came back to one single talisman that caught his eye.

[We, the Poison Fighters Sect, would like you humbly invite you to our sect.

We are a new sect, only 2000 years old, but we have managed to rank ourselves 45th in the Blue Silk Continent, and 144th in the entire Myriad Spirit realm.

Should you accept this invite, you will join the Poison Fighters sect as its outer disciple. Upon joining, you will be provided with our physique skills that will help you fight poisons without the need for an antidote.

Yearly stipend of 20 Immortal Spirit stones, 8 Immortal Cultivation Pill, 3 Immortal Healing pills, and 2 kilograms of low-

ranking Immortal poison.]

Alex had no interest in the Poison-fighting physique. His body could already destroy high-grade poisons after all.

It was the 20 Immortal Spirit stones that caught Alex's eyes. Most sects gave 8, up to 10 Immortal Spirit stones a year. But this sect was giving him 20.

Alex read through the talisman a few more times and came to understand why that may be.

These people were desperate to get good cultivators to join their sect. They were willing to bleed money at the start in hopes that they would have a genius join their sect unknowingly.

Alex had to admit it. It was working.

He didn't know how long it would be before he got to start earning on his own by selling pills. It would certainly not be any time soon as he wasn't strong enough to protect himself should someone with ill intentions want to find out how he was making such good pills.

As such, Alex had to get his earnings wherever he could, and this was certainly a good place to do just that.
