Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 853 Burning Eyes



Chapter 853 Burning Eyes

The tortoise returned back into its shell and Alex left the place.

Even as he flew away, the surprise that the giant mound of land was actually a tortoise hadn't left him. 'Can Immortal realm beasts become that big, or is it just the tortoise?'

Lady Ren certainly wasn't this large. But he didn't know if she could get larger, so there was nothing for him to think about her.

'Should I have brought out Pearl?' he thought. That was one of the things he was constantly debating about. The Tortoise certainly seemed nice, but who knew how he would react to seeing Pearl.

Or rather, how he would react to seeing a Heavenly beast bonded to a human.

Alex shook his head and continued flying and the much information he had learned today piled up on him.

So many things.

Undying God's physique, the loots, the techniques, The Blood God's Manual, finding a Heavenly beast, finding out the history of the fight, finding out why the humans were talented.

Not to mention finding out that he was in the freaking Northern Continent? What the hell was that about?

"What do I do now?" Alex thought. His mind was so occupied with everything that he nearly forgot about what had made him stop flying in the first place.

"Ah, the paste," Alex thought and quickly flew down to the 5th mountain, which was also completely empty.

He sat in the empty hallway and brought out the paste that was in his storage bag and the recipe for it.

Once again, realizing that he found the paste for the Demon Eyes, Alex was incredibly happy and couldn't wait to start the procedure.

He remembered the texts on the wall and thought back to it.

"Continuously cleanse your eyes with a vial full of the paste every month for 20 month," Alex read back the words in his mind.

'20 vials,' he thought and looked at the paste. There was indeed about that amount. Maybe even slightly more.

He frowned for a bit when he read about the application method for the paste. He was to apply the paste directly onto his open eyes while completely filling up the front of his eyes with the paste.

Only after the 20 months of cleansing had passed would his eyes be ready to start cultivating the Demon eyes. Even then, Alex wasn't sure how much longer it would take for his eyes to return back.

"I have to go blind for 2 years huh? Maybe even more," Alex thought. "Well, it's not like I haven't done that before. Besides, I have the Undying God's Physique now. Healing quickly shouldn't be much of a problem."

Alex sat down cross-legged and scooped out a vial worth of paste with his Qi. He then separated the Qi into two parts and took a deep breath.

He knew the next part would have to happen, but he was still a little hesitant. Not like it didn't make sense, after all, he was going to have to put the acrid, and definitely spicy paste onto his eyes.

Alex let out a deep breath, and the paste flew in.

SPLAT!

"AARRGHH!" Alex cried out immediately. Even though he was ready for it, the pain didn't lessen at all. In fact, the pain was incredible.

The eyes, having never gone through such pain even during body cultivation sessions, were now fully feeling the pain one would suffer just by themselves.

Millions of lights of myriad different colors flashed in Alex's mind as his eyes told his brain that they were seeing a million different things.

Due to the pain, his eyes kept giving his mind false information about its visual data, and Alex felt like he was seeing millions of tiny cultivators fight in front of him.

That only increased as the paste reached deeper into his eyes, and now even the back of his eyes was starting to burn.

Alex wanted to pour some cold water in immediately to help relieve the pain. In fact, he wanted to dig out his own eyes so they would stop hurting.

However, he understood this was necessary, so he stuck through it. Even so, the pain didn't lessen.

Alex kept hurting and hurting and hurting for a long time before any semblance of relief came to him.

Even that wasn't so much relief, just his eyes growing numb to the pain.

As soon as the pain lessened, Alex immediately sat down and started cultivating. He wasn't able to cultivate the eye skill until his eyes were ready, so for now, he just cultivated his normal cultivation technique.

Alex sat there cultivating for nearly 2 days before the pain lessened to the point of it no longer existing. His eyes were completely destroyed in a certain sense, and now he had to wait for them to be rebuilt.

That would take a lot of time. Most certainly, it would take about 28 or so days if the information on the recipe and technique were correct.

Alex finally stood up and dusted himself off of the snow that had piled on him. Then, he flew out of the mountain and immediately stopped.

"Wait, which direction do I go towards again?" he thought for a second. "I came down at that angle and the hallway was facing that way, then last mountain…"

Because his spiritual sense couldn't read the next mountain which was many kilometers away, Alex had to do mental gymnastics to remember which direction he had to fly towards.

"That way?" he thought but wasn't sure of himself. He wanted to ask Pearl if the direction was correct, but then he would have to bring him out which would let the tortoise know that he had—

"Wait, I don't need to call out Pearl," Alex thought. "Whisker, come out."

From his right shoulder plate where a mouse-shaped tattoo lay, a mouse came out with very long whiskers giving him his current name.

The mouse shivered the moment he came out, his fur standing on its edge.

Alex immediately had a pocket of heat appear around the mouse and finally, it stopped shivering.

The mouse was by now about 7 years old, but he was still as small as the time he was born.

Immediately, the vision of everything around him with flew into Alex. In fact, there was also a lot of different information he received such as the temperature of the surrounding, the energy that was in the surrounding, the pressure, and various other information about the environment.

"This is not bad. I had forgotten how good I could see through your… eyes," Alex turned towards the mouse and saw himself through the mouse's eyes.

The two black patches on his face looked not only silly, but they were also outright disturbing.

"I need to do something about these," Alex thought. He immediately weighed in on the option to use a small cloth to put around his eyes so that they could be closed, but that didn't seem like a good option given it would mess with the paste that was bulging up to his nose bridge.

"What do I do then?" Alex wondered and searched into this storage bag for a moment before the answer presented itself.

"Ah, this should work," he thought, bringing out the white mask.

The Mask of Spirit's Hell was a mental training artifact, but it had to be activated for it to do so. Without activation, it was just a simple white mask, and Alex decided to use it as so.

Once he wore the mask, he turned to Whisker and asked, "how do I look?"

Whisker released a sharp-toned screech that Alex understood as 'not scary.

The moment Alex heard that he was shocked beyond belief.

The words weren't what shocked him. In fact, they wouldn't as he was already capable of conversing with the little mouse since it was a little mouse.

When Alex brought him out from time to time to use his whiskers for the pill, he had talked to the mouse pretty frequently.

No, what did shock Alex was something that was completely unexpected to him. In fact, he had trouble believing it was real, as no Seeking Mouse was capable of such a thing.

But then he remembered that Whisker wasn't just an ordinary Seeking Mouse. He was an Undying Seeking Mouse.

And that was most likely why… he now had a cultivation base.
