Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy Chapter 1002 Inside A Fish

"The Northern lights?" Alex turned to look towards the north. "There was light there?"

"Yeah, It used to shine in the night, like a second sun," she said. "Well, maybe not as brightly."

"What was there?" Alex asked.

"Don't know," she said. "I doubt anyone knows. As far as I know, it was there before I was born. Probably since before even father was born."

"Oho, what are you guys talking about?" the chief appeared right next to them as he jumped from the other side of the canyon.

"We're talking about the Northern lights, father. Do you know since when it was in the north?" she asked.

"Well, the Northern lights go as far back as the sun and moon, I suppose," he said. Every piece of knowledge that gets passed down always speaks of the Sun, Moon, Sacred flas, and the Northern Lights."

"May I ask how old are you exactly, chief?" Alex asked.

p

"What is the oldest a person has been able to live out here?" he asked.

"Hmm, my father lived for about 175 years. I heard soone from the Serpent oasis managed to live to be about 300 years," he said. "I think those that live by the shore in fact live much longer, but I don't know how much."

"I see," Alex said. If a person's life expectancy was so short compared to Qi cultivation, then he could be certain that the knowledge passed down from generation to generation in this place actually didn't go too far back.

"Are you hungry, young man? We are about to cook a fish. It's a feast tonight," the old man said.

"I'm not exactly hungry, but I would love to eat sothing if you don't mind," Alex said. "Of course not. Co, I will show you around now."

"Father, I'm showing him around," Li Yun said as she grabbed onto Alex's arms again.

"Fine, fine, just follow ," he said. Since he had tested Alex's strength, he was fine with his daughter's public infatuation with Alex. Anyone would do that after finding out how strong Alex was.

Alex walked along with them as he didn't want to seem disrespectful. His spiritual sense was moving wildly, however, looking at everything he could in the tribe.

With how small the tribe's living area actually was, Alex's spiritual sense was covering it all. And yet, he still couldn't find his father.

He did find 2 things that took away his attention. The first was the phoenix fla that burned in the center of the giant room at the center of the tribe.

This was the sacred fla that the tribes bet their lives upon. Alex could even see so wounded folks being kept nearby who were being healed by it.

Other than that, he could also see the fish that was being prepared at the mont for cooking.

Inside the fish was sothing that he was way too excited to find.

Alex walked ahead of the other two, increasing his pace as he entered the room.

The man who was working on the fish was cut open the guts and was on the way to pull out sothing spherical from inside the fish.

Alex walked straight to the man and said, "hand it to ."

The man had been soone who had seen Alex fight, so refusing was the last thing he was ever going to do. So, he brought out his hand and gave the item to Alex.

Alex looked at it with fervent eyes. "A beast core!" he thought. He couldn't imagine finding a beast core in a place like this, but he had found one.

Although, it had to co from a fish that was not from this continent.

"Do you have so water to wash this off?" he asked.

"There's so over there," the chief said.

Alex quickly walked up to the hole in the ground that was used to hold water. He quickly washed the blood off the beast's core and with zero hesitation, ate it.

"What?"

"Don't eat that!"

Both the father and daughter shouted at the sa ti as Alex ate the core. The core reached his stomach and dissipated into so energy.

The fish that the core belonged to seed to have a high cultivation base in the Self-tempering realm, so all Alex got was very low Qi, which was sothing he could fortunately use.

He wasn't really intending on using that Qi and wanted to keep it unused, but a portion of it still disappeared, stolen by a hungry mouse that wanted his body back.

"Are you okay?" Li Yun ca up to him and asked.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine," Alex said.

"Are you sure? Why the hell would you eat that?" she asked. "Do you even know what that is?"

"Oh, it's alright. I can eat these," he said.

"How?" the girl couldn't understand. Everyone who was young and curious would try and eat that since it slled so good, and each ti they would have a horrible case of nausea and fever, followed by an upset stomach and constant vomits.

That were so of the first things that were taught to the children not to eat as the fish cores had unfortunately co to be used as a children's plaything.

"Right, do you perhaps have more of these?" Alex asked her.

"Um, we don't get many of that in the fish," she said. "But there should be quite a few outside with the children if they didn't already throw them away. Why do you want it?"

"I would love to have them if you don't mind," he said.

"I will go around and ask, I guess?" she said.

Alex thanked her. He waited around with the chief, talking for a bit as they watched the fish being cut open.

They realized that they had yet to introduce themselves to each other, so they did. The old man's na was Li Yanxiao, and his family had been chief for ages.

"Oh right, do you have so good tailor? I need to have so clothes made for ," Alex said.

"Clothes? We have so good tailors that can make you so clothes. Although we don't have fabric and only leather and fur, so you will have to make do with that," he said.

"That's fine. I just need proper clothes," Alex said. "Also, can you make it out of this?"

Alex tossed out the snake corpse that he had killed so nights ago.

The mont the snake appeared, the old man was shocked. "Where did it co from?" he asked.

"I have a place where I can keep it," he said. "It's what us cultivators do regularly."

The old man walked up to the snake's corpse and touched its skin. When he did, his eyes went wide.

"You killed this beast?" he asked.

"I did," Alex said.

"Amazing," the old man said. "This is so strong, and you sohow managed to kill it."

He turned to look at Alex. "Don't worry, we can make the best clothes for you with such a material."
