Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

The moment the cold overwhelmed Alex, he realized that the Yin bead had gained an upper hand on the Yang source that was in his body. 

He didn’t understand why that was, as both the Yang and Yin sources were both so strong that some little yin from a True realm girl should not have been able to affect it at all.

But it had, and now Alex had to deal with it.

He needed to add some Yang into his body to counteract the Yin that had caused the imbalance. He quickly got away from the girl and realized he needed to get away from this room.

Even with what he had done, this room was still full of weak Yin energy, and that wouldn’t be of any help to him at all. Alex quickly walked outside.

The father tried to follow him, to find out what had happened, but Alex was too much in a hurry to say anything. If he let what was happening to continue, he had a feeling that the same thing that happened to his master would happen to him as well.

The excess Yin would cause him to go into a coma, which would require someone with Yin to steal it away from him. The girl could do it probably, but who knew how long it would take for her to wake up.

He couldn’t take those chances.

“Stay in the room and look after your daughter,” he said as he rushed to the yard in the center of the courtyard. “Don’t worry about me. Just look after her.”

He didn’t even look back when he said that. He simply didn’t care.

The sun was slightly lower in the sky at the moment after a long day, so Yang energy in the surrounding was reaching the highest it would for a while now.

He sat on the grass and quickly started cultivating. He needed to absorb some Yang Qi and have it quell the Yin that was acting out. As soon as he started cultivating, Yang Qi flowed into him.

With the Five Yang Divine Path’s techniques, he could absorb Yang Qi at a speed that was simply abnormal. With his wide meridians, the Yang simply flowed into his dantian without any problems at all.

Alex quietly cultivated, absorbing as much Yang as he could, that he was taking directly from the surrounding area.

However, his face turned to a frown when he realized that it wasn’t working. His plan to absorb Yang Qi to quell Yin was not working at all. The Yin, as he had known from the start, was at a grade that was simply not the same as anything else Alex had known before.

So, the Saint grade Yang Qi that he collected in his body was not capable of quelling it at all. It was simply too weak.

However, Alex wasn’t worried at all. In fact, his face grew determined as he planned on doing something that he had been looking forward to since a long time ago but wasn’t sure what the right time for that would be.

The meridian pathway in his body that the Qi moved through to create an absorption aura suddenly shifted as they all took even more complicated pathways than before.

Doing so, something changed in the cultivation method that made it even more torturous for Alex.

Suddenly, the Yang Qi he had been pulling into his body nearly sped up tenfold while the quality of the also started improving. It grew hotter, hotter than ever, but Alex’s body could handle it, even though it hurt the meridian it traveled through as that complicated and thin meridian wasn’t used to taking this much Qi through them.

Alex had known it would hurt, and he had known it would be difficult to cultivate starting on as he wasn’t used to it at all. The new cultivation method was complicated and it would take him some time to get used to it.

For now, the Five Yang Divine Path’s Immortal rank cultivation technique was the only thing that Alex could turn to, and he did. Now, he could only hope it helped.

With the sort of quantity that came with the new cultivation method, it would take him very little time to fill up his large Dantian inside of him.

Even if the initial time it took to get to the Dantian was much longer, overall it was a much superior technique. 

The new Yang Qi, which had formed from weaker Yang Qi coalescing, was much stronger than before. So, when it arrived inside of his Dantian, instead of mixing into the Golden Core that covered most of his body, it remained on its own, away from everything.

Alex hoped dearly that something happened as he paid all of his attention to pulling in Yang Qi and looked at his dantian.

As he watched, the Yang Qi got closer and closer to the two sources. It finally came into contact with the Yang source, but to Alex’s horror, it didn’t mix with the Yang source at all.

He was terrified that his last hope wasn’t going to work as he had intended. However, when it came to the Yin bead instead, it did go toward it and even touched it.

The moment the Yang Qi touched the Yin bead, they neutralized themselves, turning into strong, but neutral Qi. The Yin in the Yin bead lessened a little bit, but barely enough to make a dent in it overall.

Alex would have to cultivate a whole lot more.

Her meridians hurt as they were being used for a technique that was not supposed to be used until he reached the Immortal rank, but Alex had no choice. Thankfully, he had practiced a few things to expand his meridians as much as he could, so he was suffering way less than he truly would have.

The Yang had a steady flow to his Dantian where it continued to neutralize the Yin Qi. Alex cultivated for half an hour in total before he had to stop. The Immortal rank cultivation technique simply hurt his meridians way too much for him to continue without rest.

The Yin in his body had lessened a bit from what he had seen, but not to the point where he was still out of danger. The coldness was low, but it was there. He would have to continue again once his meridians got some rest.

Half an hour later, Alex continued.

He collected the strong Yang Qi again, sending it to his dantian where it start neutralizing the Yin Qi again.

Even after night fell, Alex continued doing what he did. During the night, his technique would pull normal Qi in the absence of Yang, so he had to pull out a few yang ingredients and crush them to create Yang around him.

As he cultivated infrequently, checking on his status in between mini-cultivation sessions, he realized a few things that scared him… and a few that excited him.
