Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy Chapter 1439 The Scrolls



"Is it possible for you to ask the other leaders to find out what happened back then?" Alex asked.

"I can try," the Lion said. "I can't guarantee if they will answer or not though. If it was sothing I should've known, they would've told already."

"Then… they are either involved in this conspiracy, or have made an oath to say nothing of what had happened," Alex said. "My elders back in the Southern Continent did the sa while her Majesty was absent from the throne."

The Lion nodded. "We won't get any answers from just discussing this anymore. I will ask them when I have the ti," he said to himself.

Alex nodded as well. "Let know if you rember sothing else or find out sothing," he said.

"I will," the Lion said before pausing. "About that beast of yours… I'm sorry."

Alex didn't say anything about Whisker. "It's alright. It was my fault," he said.

"Still, I shouldn't have been so angry and hasty," he said.

"It's fine," Alex said. "Although, that reminds . What were you doing here?"

"Cultivating," the lion said. "You said you wanted to figure out how good the new pill is, so I wanted to test my cultivation in this place. This mansion has one of the best formations, so it is quite useful to judge one's cultivation speed."

"Oh!" Alex said. It turned out it was his own preparation that had hampered his mission tonight. Still, it had done sothing quite good, so he couldn't complain.

"Co on," the Lion said. "Let show the rest of the mansion to you."

"Oh, can we?" Alex asked.

"This mansion belongs to Pearl here technically. So yes, you can co to see the rest of it."

The Lion took them to see the rest of the mansion which was quite massive with many different rooms and halls. There was also an entire backyard that Alex hadn't seen from the sky.

After a while, they ca across the room full of scrolls that Whisker had found, which he couldn't read at all.

"What are here?" Alex asked the Lion.

"These are records of the past for us to rember throughout the various generations," the lion said picking one up. He opened it and read it.

"This one is about Shi Jushun, the 4th leader of the Lion colony. He was born during the ti of the 2nd Azure Dragon and was notably one of the strongest Golden lions of that generation."

He put the scroll back and opened another one.

"This speaks of the ti when Shi Niangong, the 7th head of the Shi family was appointed to beco the Leader of the Lion Colony after his father Shi Fexiong ascended to the Immortal realm."

He picked out another few scrolls and read them to Alex.

Alex couldn't tell if what he was reading was what was written on the piece of paper, but there was no reason for him to lie at all.

The records were of the various family mbers of the Shi Family, mostly involving the family head or the Colony leader of that ti.

"This one speaks of Shi Rewei, the family head before Shi Guyong, and his journey to the Western Continent over 5 thousand years ago in order to find Uncle his wife."

"They t up with Lord Bai Jingshen's family and remained there for a while before returning with a bride for Uncle Guyong. That was when Aunt irong was married to this family."

"Hmm? I thought I heard that Senior Guyong had no parents when he married. Did I hear wrong?" he asked.

"Oh, Shi Rewei was not uncle's father. I believe he was his uncle," the Lion said. "The family head's role is passed down to the strongest person of that generation, which was my Uncle."

"He had quite the competition at that ti given that Shi Rewei had many sons, but his uncle still erged victorious. It's a sha he never had a child after sister iyong. He might have had a son that took over the family."

"Instead, I had to take over," the lion said.

"You're still a Golden Lion," Alex said.

"Yes, but I'm not part of the Shi Family," the Lion said. "I might think of myself as one, but that won't change the fact that my father's surna is Zhu and not Shi. Not that I would want to get rid of my own surna anyway."

The Lion went on to open a few more scrolls and say what was in them.

"Sister iyong was born just a few days before the incident at the Central continent. The news of lord Bai Jingshen's death is recorded here as well, but there are hints of doubt in this letter itself."

"They knew for so reason that lord Bai wasn't dead. I wonder how," the Lion said.

Neither Alex nor Pearl said anything. Both of them knew that before Bai Jingshen had left for earth, he had co here and thanks to his master's help, he had left behind the purest White Tiger's blood essence in Shi iyong's young body.

"This is it, I'm afraid," the Lion said. "This was the second last record before the record of how uncle and aunt died, which I had to write. This is it."

"Thank you for showing us all of this," Pearl said.

The lion rubbed Pearl's head. "This is your house. You don't have to thank for showing sothing like this," he said. He then placed the scrolls on the shelf and walked out of the room.

"I will return back to cultivating. The pill you gave will work well, won't it?" he asked.

"It will," Alex said.

"Good. You guys can stay around here if you want. I won't say anything this ti around," the lion said.

"It's alright," Alex said. "I like the courtyard I was given. Besides, I have more pills to make later on, so for now I will have to cultivate."

"You still want to continue that?" the lion asked.

"I truly need all the resources I can get from here," he said to the Lion.

"Very well," the lion said. "Do what you want. I will co to visit you in 3 days then."

Alex nodded and left. He walked back with Pearl, talking about the things they had learned and witnessed today.

"I still can't figure out who attacked your mother precisely," Alex said. "Or who killed your grandfather."

Pearl thought for a mont. "Are you sure we're taking the right approach to all of this?" he asked.

"What do you an?" Alex asked.

"We are trying to find WHO did all of what happened," Pearl said. "And we're failing to co up with any answers. How about asking different questions?"

"Like how your mother was attacked? Or why she was attacked?" Alex asked. "I've tried coming up with answers to that question and only one answer cos to mind."

"What answer?" Pearl asked.

"Your mother was attacked because the blood that was in her body was very precious and it got a few people greedy for it," Alex said. "To acquire that blood, she was attacked."

"As of now, that is the only answer I'm even remotely confident is the right one," Alex said. "As for the other answers, we will have to take our ti with them."
