Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

x said.

”Yes master, we saw that too.
Junior Brother Ming had his hands charred fully and were in very intense pain as he stole away whatever it was that sect leader had.
I even took him away from sect leader once because he seemed to be feeling a lot of pain, ” Zhou Mei said.

”Hmm… anything else? ” the Second Elder asked.

”Anything….
Oh right, Sect Leader was awake for a split second before falling unconscious.
It was at that point all the ice started forming, ” Zhou Mei said.

The Second Elder took what he just learned in and made no sound as he contemplated on the stuff.
After a while, he suddenly started laughing.

”Hahaha! ”

The people around him got curious.
”What ’s going on, little Song? Why are you laughing? ” the grand elder asked.

”I… I just had a theory, grand elder.
I don ’t know if it is true or not, but it makes a little sense, ” the Second Elder said.

”A theory? Let ’s hear it, ” the Grand elder said.

The second elder nodded and turned to the girls in the room.
”All of you girls, go out for a while.
I will call you later, ” he said and sent out the girls in the room.

”You two can stay, ” he said to Zhou Mei and Fan Ruogang.
”It will help you if you know about it. ”

The second elder then turned towards the grand elder and said, ”Grand Elder, you know how Sect Leader has a body with Yin constitution, right? ”

”Yes, that was one of the reasons I took her as my disciple, to begin with, ” the Grand Elder said.

’Constitution… is that the word used for bodies? ’ Alex wondered.
He did remember Ma Rong using that word once in a while, but never explicitly when talking about the bodies.

”You see, ” the second elder continued, ”I think sect leader ’s constitution might actually have been a dormant constitution that actually never showed itself.
And now, for some reason, maybe due to fighting off the yang energy in her body, her constitution has become active. ”

”Thus we are seeing the current phenomenon.
The ice and cold are just her awakened body passively giving off yin energy while she ’s not in control.
Which also means, that she is alright now, ” the Second Elder said.

”What? Little Rong ’s dormant constitution awoke? Is such a thing possible? ” the Grand Elder asked with a face full of surprise.

”Yes, I ’ve read somewhere that people ’s constitution can indeed change after some fortuitous encounter.
This must be one of the cases, ” the Second Elder said.

He then turned to Alex and said, ”Good Work, Disciple Yu.
Now because of you, your master will become stronger. ”

A rush of happiness shot up from inside as he beamed with a smile on his face.
”Thank you, Elder.
So, the master will be wake up soon, right? ” he asked.

”Yes, yes.
Let her rest a few more days.
I will have the girls outside look after her for a few days.
Once her body is no longer tired, she should be back, ” the Second Elder said.

”That is good, ” the Grand Elder said.
”Alright, let ’s leave now.
Also, come along Yu Ming, tell us what happened.
How are you still alive, ” the grand elder asked.

”Yes, Grandmaster, ” Alex said and followed behind them.

The Second Elder told the girls to look after the Sect Leader for a few more days until she woke up.
Only this time, they would just have to watch and not do anything else.

The girls nodded and got back to work.

Once the three men were away from the house, the Grand Elder asked Alex to explain what had happened.

Alex nodded and told him everything.
He told him how he was captured, how he was trying to look into his memories, and how he died from trying to look at his memories.

The elders, especially the higher ones, all knew about Alex having a Spirit Cleansing lily and thus were sure about him having Spiritual sense.
So, Alex had to hide almost nothing at all.

The only things he did keep to himself was that he told them that he didn ’t know who his kidnapper was and that the kidnapper ’s cultivation base was in the low True Qi realm.

”I see… so you weren ’t actually killed during the beast hoard, but actually were captured, huh.
Who would ’ve thought? Here we were sure you died. ”

”Do you know why the person kidnapped you in the first place? ” the Grand Elder asked.

Alex had the explanation prepared so he just said, ”He was either someone who saw my result in the Annual Sect Competitions or was someone who saw me buy this True rank Armor and wanted to get it.
I believe it was the first one, but he never said anything, so I can ’t be sure. ”

Alex mixed a lot of truths with the lie, so neither of the two elders detected any flaws in his explanation.
The Grand elder sighed after hearing that.

”The city was under attack from the beasts, so we had to fight them ourselves without best disciples and many elders missing.
So, when Ma Rong and Wen Cheng heard that, Wen Cheng made Ma Rong return back here, or so I heard.
He ’s still back in the capital searching for you I believe, ” the Grand Elder said.

”Yes, Grandmaster.
I visited Tiger sect before coming here and so they already know about it all, ” he said.
”I rushed here after learning that Master was in trouble. ”

”Huh? How would they know? We ’ve completely kept it under wraps, ” the Second Elder said.

”Well, it was my senior brother that told me that Master was absent during the 2nd beast attack and that when asked, the elders never gave a clear answer.
So he believed something was wrong and notified me, ” Alex said.

”Ah, I see.
That would make sense, ” the Second Elder said and sighed as well.

”At least one of you returned back. ”
