Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Alex found a store a few minutes walk away from the city center that proudly sold out any information they could get their hands on.

Alex walked in and was immediately surprised by just what he could buy here. This reminded him of the Insight Pavillion back home that he had taken over after becoming a king.

This place was no different than that it seemed.

Alex met up with someone and told them exactly what he wanted to buy. A somewhat detailed map of the entire world, a list of different sects and families he needed to know about, and the many natural or artificial locations around the world he needed to know about.

Hearing what Alex wanted to learn, the man in the store suggested that he buy a beginner's information package.

"A package?" Alex asked.

"It includes everything you could need to know about the world as a newcomer to the Myriad Spirit world," the man answered. "There is a discount if you purchase the package. You could get more information buying everything individually, but I don't suggest that."

"You couldn't possibly need that much information anyway, and it costs a lot."

"Can I get a price range?" Alex asked.

"The package will cost you around 400 spirit stones. Individually, it will cost you 750 or so," the man said.

"I see." Alex thought for a moment and realized he didn't truly need all of that, just as the man had said. The package alone was enough.

"Could I also purchase some information about a person?" he asked. "Reverend Sixghost, of the Twin Saber sect."

"Of course," the man said. "What tier of information will you want? Low, middle, or high? They will cost you 120, 300, and 750 respectively."

Alex was slightly taken aback at the price. An information about a single person in detailed form cost as much as the entire beginner's package bought individually?

"Which one would have the information about the treasures he left behind?" Alex asked. "Or is that a separate information."

"The middle tier will include branching information about the individual besides just his life," the man answered.

'400 and 300, that's 700 in total,' Alex thought. What else did he want?

Three different curiosities emerged in his mind that he wanted to know about.

"Could I know the cost of the information about White Canvas Daisy, Routes connecting the Immortal worlds, and information about the war?"

"Let me check," the man said and looked through a metallic medallion on his necklace.

"The flower will cost you either 200, 400, or 700. The routes will cost you 600, and the War will cost you… umm… the lowest cost is in the upper 10 thousand. Do you wish to learn about it still?"

"Oh…" Alex was taken aback. "Let us ignore the information about the war then. Uhh, I would like the high-tier information about the flower. And may I ask why the route's cost is singular?"

"There is only one route. There is no more or less information to give about it," the man said.

"I see," Alex said. "Then I will purchase that as well."

The man nodded, quickly noting down everything that Alex wanted to learn about. He calculated the price, coming up to an exact 2000 Immortal Spirit stones.

"Anything else?" the man asked.

Alex shook his head. He couldn't think of anything at the moment. If he did, he would come back later on. "That will be all."

"I will prepare it right away."

Within minutes, there were a bunch of talismans inside a storage bag that was handed over to Alex. Alex paid the price and left the store with his new information.

He hurried back to the Morning's Glory courtyard and returned to his room. Once inside, he called our Pearl as well as Whisker who had already come back to life by now.

Once the two were out, he took out the talismans and began reading through the information.

The very first thing he checked was the routes of the Immortal world. Before even thinking about the world he was in, Alex wanted to know the fastest route to get to his family.

Alex opened the talisman and was immediately given a bunch of information he had not been expecting at all.

When he bought the information about the Immortal world, he had been expecting to get just the Human Immortal world. However, from the information he was given, he quickly realized that he had gotten the teleportation routes through all the 33 Immortal realms.

Each one of the Immortal realms is connected to at most 4 other Immortal realms, creating a complex route for everyone to travel from one place to another.

He remembered what the old man had told him when he first arrived and nodded as he read through the information.

The Myriad Spirit realm was connected by Interrealm Teleportation formation to 3 other Immortal realms. Those were the Fiend's Sanctuary, Divine Sanctuary Realm, and Eclipsing Heaven.

Alex continued on their path to find the ones they connected with, in the direction of the Sky God's Palace.

It turned out that there was a very easy route from Myriad Spirit Realm to Sky God's Palace.

He needed to go to the Divine Sanctuary Realm next and then take a teleportation formation from there to the Spirit Blossom realm. From there, he could go directly to the Sky God's Palace.

There were 2 other Immortal Worlds between him and his family, for a total of 3 teleportation. That meant he had to find enough fortune to pay for his teleportation that many times.

Alex sighed. Was there no other way?

Alex looked around the routes, finding the various names of the other Immortal realms that he could now perfectly read and remember.

Alex saw the one called the Medicine World that was just 2 teleportations away from him, which he could go to from either the Divine Sanctuary Realm or through the Eclipsing Heaven.

Alex saw the Sacred Lotus Dominion, through which he could travel to an Immortal world connected to the Beasts' Immortal world.

"Land of the Blessed Sun?" Alex thought in surprise and showed it to Pearl. "You can go there through the Sacred Lotus Dominion."

Pearl was fascinated. "How many realms do the Beasts own?" he asked.

"3," Alex answered. "Land of the Blessed Sun, Sun's Talon, and Twin Scar realm."

He followed the path from there and saw that the Land of the Blessed Sun was also connected to one of the Demon's Immortal realms called the Mystic Demon realm.

That realm then led to the other 8 Demon Immortal realms that were connected in similar ways to the Human Immortal realms.

Demon Sea Realm, Forest Moon Realm, Frozen Heaven, Moonshadow Kingdom. Alex continued reading through the names of the Demon Immortal worlds too.

After reading through all of them, he finally got to the three Immortal realms that were unclaimed by either Humans, Demons, or the Beasts.

Alex had heard about this but was still surprised to see that none of the three Immortal realms had any teleportation formation connecting to them.

"How is someone supposed to go there and come back if there is no formation?" Alex couldn't help but ask. There was no answer to his question right away.
