Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 36 - More Interview

"The body of a cultivator is graded as well? This is the first time I have heard of this." The interviewer was shocked. This was new information he was not expecting to get in this information today. He was genuinely shocked.

Alex was shocked too. He hadn't given much thought to his body. He started to wonder what grade his body was.

"Yes. I found that out a few days ago as I searched the internet trying to learn everyone's body's name. I had my suspicions before, but the searches I made proved my theories. You see a player is given a random body. Most of the time it's just called 'Mortal body'. People think this just meant the bodies they got was a non-cultivator to start with, but they are wrong."

"Also, since the Earth grade bodies and Heaven grade bodies do not have the words 'Earth' and 'Heaven' in it doesn't help it either. Only after the heaven grade does the bodies actually start to have their names in it."

The interviewer cued in and asked," And what body do you have?"

"My body is an Immortal Grade body. It's called the 'Immortal Tyrant Body'. With this body, I can produce the strength equal to 2 realms above my own realm. Meaning, I can currently produce the strength of a True King 6th Realm cultivator." he replied.

"Oh wow, that's one of the reasons for your fast cultivation huh. What are the other 2 reasons?" the interviewer asked.

"The next 2 reasons can in fact be called the same reason, but since they are different I decided to call them 2 reasons. And they are the fact that I got an Immortal Grade Cultivation Method for self-tempering realm through the gift box, and somehow managed to get a Heaven Grade Cultivation Method for the True realm."

"Add onto the fact that I bought a lot of Qi providing pills using the monsters I hunted, I got to where I am right now."

The interviewer was shocked again, "Oh wow. You really had a stroke of good luck going into the game, didn't you? What about your talents? Are they any good?"

" It's just a Heaven grade talent, nothing to call home about."

The interviewer then went on to ask other questions, but none of them interested Alex. He closed the video, and just sat there thinking.

"Sun God's Divine… would that be God grade or is there a grade called Divine as well?" he was shocked again. The only thing his body could do he could tell as of now turned natural common Qi into Yang Qi. Yang Qi lasted twice if not longer than normal qi and didn't need to be used as much to get the same result.

He was already happy to get Yang Qi from his body. But, if what the person said was true, then that just wasn't good enough for a God Grade body. so was it a Divine grade?

"What else can it do then?" he wondered.

The 3 roommates soon woke up, and they went to eat their dinner. He decided to tell them about what he found out today, but it seemed they had already learned about it during the day.

Apparently, they liked to frequently visit the forum and had done just that today during the recess. They lamented that they either had Earth or Heaven-grade bodies.

Alex also lamented along with them saying his body was Earth grade too.

After dinner, they returned to their room and jumped into the game. Alex logged in his tavern room. He hadn't returned to the game since waking up this morning and was quite eager to hunt once more.

He got out of the city and went into the forest through the eastern side once more. From what he understood about the forest, the monster got stronger the deeper one went into it.

If you were on the outer edges, you would only find skin tempering realm monsters. Monsters with Muscle Tempering realm only appeared about half an hour into the forest.

And only about 2 hours away from that did Bone tempering realm monsters start to appear. He never went that far and only stayed at the edge of it.

He had met a few monsters at Bone Tempering 1st realm, but he had managed to win against them with his Smiting Blade technique. Although it did take more than 1 strike with Smiting Blade each time he fought them.

Tonight was a moonlit night as always and Alex had walked about 2 hours into the forest. The monsters he found in this area were Muscle Tempering 7th realm to Muscle Tempering 9th realm.

Changing the place he hunted was a good idea on first thought, but once he realized that many other people hunted as well, it wasn't necessary to go out of his way to find monsters.

That said, Alex still changed his path so that he could find more alchemy ingredients. The forest was a treasure trove of alchemy ingredients that no one seemed to have searched for.

Or maybe they did but didn't realize which were alchemy ingredients, and which were not.

<You have defeated 'Blue Bear'>

<You have obtained 'Blue Bear Core'>

A giant bear fell down with a massive cut running across its chest. Alex walked up to the bear and kept its corpse into his inventory. The bear was at the 7th realm of Muscle Tempering, so he had managed to kill it in one hit.

He stood up and walked on ahead, searching for more monsters.

BAM

He heard something a little further ahead of him. He walked a little faster to check what it was. When he finally reached the place, he saw a massive elephant-like monster, whose dead body was lying on the ground. It was wet all over, and there were signs of water seeping out of its mouth.

Suddenly the monster's corpse vanished, and he finally saw what laid behind it.

There were two ladies, one a little further back than the other. The one that was right beside the monster looked up with surprised eyes, and smiled a little as she said,

"Fellow Daoist, it seems fate has brought us together again."
