Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Alex sat before the large cauldron full of blood, taking in deep breaths to prepare before he started. He understood how much it was going to hurt him to do what he was going to do. He only wished it wasn't as bad as the last time he had done something like this.

The last time he had cultivated with blood from beasts' entire cultivation realms above him was back in the White Tiger's Palace when Bai Jingshen and his wives gave him blood to absorb. Alex still couldn't believe that part of the blood he absorbed at that time was Divine grade. However, he didn't doubt that Bai Jingshen should have only given him a few drops at best. He had only been in the Saint Foundation realm back then after all.

'This shouldn't be that much more painful then,' he thought. Even if it was, he would have to suck it through.

After finding a spot in the mountain where he could be alone, Alex brought out a small vial and placed some of the blood inside of it. The rest of it, he was going to absorb it all.

Alex felt weird right now, sitting down to absorb this blood and cultivate on it. How long had it been since he had done something like this? Ever since the Blood God's Manual stopped working for some mysterious reason, he had practically forgotten about Blood Cultivation. Not to mention finding beasts that were willing to give him their blood wasn't so easy to come by.

And killing them was obviously no longer a choice considering most of them were very intelligent.

He could have asked for blood claiming it had something to do with Alchemy, but he didn't have the time to do something like that while he was on his own. And for the last 60 years, he had been focused on the tournament alone. So, after more than a century of not absorbing blood, Alex was finally going to do it one more time.

His blood aura began moving in a certain way inside of his body, attracting the blood aura that was in the cauldron before him. He slowly accepted the attractive blood aura into his body, feeling it prickle through his organs, reaching his bloodstream.

The pain began coursing through his body at the same time. The Blood Aura was strong, too strong for him to absorb, so his body absorbed what he could, and what he could not began hurting him.

Pain was no stranger to Alex, but he still didn't want to be friends with it. He liked it when it stayed in its place, never coming to meet him. But that wasn't possible when one was a cultivator.

Alex struggled through the pain, not letting it distract from what was important. He continuously absorbed the blood aura, letting it improve bit by bit. He had the blood of a Divine realm beast to work with. Such a time would likely not come again in his life.

Minutes felt like hours while Alex was in pain, and yet he continued collecting the blood aura. The last time when he had absorbed Blood Aura of this high quality, he hadn't been able to handle all of the energy and had to force it to improve his cultivation base instead, giving him nearly 7 cultivation bases at once.

This time around, Alex didn't want a new cultivation base. There was no saying where the next opportunity would arrive for him to improve his Blood Aura. As such, it was the right time to improve it and only it.

Rosemist was close by, although not within eyesight, and she watched Alex collect the Blood Aura with so much pain. She wondered how she would feel if she too could only get stronger through pain. What even was pain exactly? Why did the others hate it?

Rosemist had no idea if there was an answer to that question that could satisfy her. 'Considering how many of them are gone now, it's a surprise I am still living,' she thought, reminiscing about the past. Some day, she too would be gone. She was sure of it.

The aura within the blood got weaker and weaker, making the pain far more bearable now. Alex took it all in, barely flinching anymore. It had only been 2 hours since he started, so he was surprised how quickly he was getting done with it.

After what felt like another half an hour, he was fully done.

His blood cultivation stopped providing his body with anything when he was done absorbing all the aura from the blood before him. Alex slowed down his cultivation to a halt after realizing that he had completely absorbed all of the energy.

'That's a massive surprise,' he thought. He hadn't expected to be done so quickly. Was it because he was an Immortal now, or was his body just that thirsty for blood aura? It had been over a century since he got an external blood aura.

"You absorbed it all?" Rosemist asked, appearing from the side.

"Yes," Alex said, checking his own Blood aura. Because his blood aura had matched his cultivation base, it had reached the strength of Immortal Ascendant 9th realm. It needed to improve on its own to reach the next cultivation base so its cultivation base itself would improve.

However, he was happy to see that it had improved tremendously. Alex was now in the Immortal Origin 6th realm with his Blood Aura. That was a massive improvement over what he had previously.

Now, his Body was the thing that lagged the most behind at Immortal Origin 2nd realm, followed by his Sword Intent which was at Immortal Origin 4th realm. ＲἁɴổʙЁS

His Spiritual strength was still stronger than his Blood Aura, but that was all thanks to the Spiritual Conjunction technique. His other attributes would reach higher very soon.

"What now?" Rosemist asked after seeing him say nothing.

"Now?" Alex pulled out the small vial of blood. "Now, we hope for the best."
