Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 1:Eternal Cultivation

A young man walked out of a train in Oakleaf city.
’Woah! ’ he looked at the surrounding train station and was surprised at how glossy and expensive-looking it was.
His black hair, fair skin, and child-like face made him look so very naive and simpleminded.

He followed some signs to get out of the train station and finally saw the Oakleaf city in its full glory.
He stopped in his tracks amazed at how big the buildings were, how many vehicles there were on the road, and just how well dressed everyone looked.

”So, which way is the Oakleaf University? ” He wondered as he took out his cheap-looking phone and started looking up the map.

After learning the directions, he started walking.
He had a suitcase with him that he dragged along the city.
Throughout the city, he would see giant billboards and posters promoting a single thing, making him wonder just what was Eternal Cultivation?.

”Hmm… is that a new movie? Looks good.
Maybe I will get to see what a big city ’s cinema looks like.
” His countryside village also had cinemas, but the screen was small, so he usually preferred watching the movies on his family computer.

He finally reached the university and asked a few people to find his way to dormitory A.
He walked up to a register table and got his key for his room.

His room was numbered 205, so he walked into an elevator and got up.
As he came out of the elevator, he got a phone call.
He looked at the caller and realized his mom was calling him.
He accepted the call.

”Alex? Where are you? Did you reach the university? ” a worried voice came from the other side of the phone.

”Yes, mother.
I am currently in the dormitory, look for my new room. ” Alex replied.

”Oh good, good.
Here, your father wants to talk to you. ”

”Hey son, how are you doing? Was the train ride okay? You didn ’t find it discomforting, right? ” His father asked him in a worried voice.

”No, father.
It was fine.
In fact, it was amazing.
I never knew trains went that fast. ” Alex said.

”Haha, ” his father laughed from the other side of the phone, ”That ’s what you get when you live your entire life on a farm.
We shouldn ’t have home-schooled you either.
Fortunately, you will be getting new experiences now. ”

”It ’s okay father.
The school was in the town.
It would ’ve been hard for you to take me there regularly on a 2-hour ride. ” Alex said.

”Alright.
Remember what I told you okay.
Don ’t be friends with bad people.
There are a lot of different people in the big cities.
Learn to figure out which people are good and which are not.
You should be old enough to know what to do and what not to do.
Oh yeah, and just because you are 18 and you can, don ’t go to those stupid clubs, I hear they are just a waste of money. ”

Alex smiled a little and replied, ”I understand, father.
Oh, I ’m in front of my room now.
I will call you guys later, bye.
”

”Alright, I will end the call then.
Oh, right! Call Hannah and let her know you have arrived. ” ”Bye, ” his father and mother said at the same time and ended the call.

Alex walked up to Room 205 and opened the door using his key.
When he opened the room, he was surprised.

He didn ’t expect his room to already have people staying in it.
Inside were 3 young men.
2 of them were up and talking, while one was seemingly sleeping.
The room had 2 bunk beds and 4 closets.
Aside from that, Alex couldn ’t
