Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy Chapter 366: Snarl

Alex felt like he was on cloud nine right now with the notification in front of him. He quickly opened his bank account and was more than surprised when he realized he had a total of 2.3 Million dollars in the bank now.

Alex's mind stopped functioning as he didn't know what he could do with that money. That was just too much money for him.

He quickly went online and started looking up what to do with a lot of money. He quickly found a trustworthy blog post that told him exactly what he could do with the amount of money he was getting.

The first thing he did was create a retirent account with a high interest rate in a well-respected bank. He had to do it online, so he got his docunts and started uploading them to the website. Once that was done, he had to speak with soone and answer a few questions before the bank account was opened.

Once it was, he transferred a total of 2 million dollars to that account and kept the 300 thousand dollars for use. That too was way too much for him, but he had different things in mind for this one.

Once the retirent part was done, he started looking for different stocks to invest in. Thanks to his business classes he knew what to look out for and what to absolutely ignore.

The most obvious one was Deva corp. They were the biggest nas right now, so he bought 3 shares of theirs for nearly 100 thousand dollars. The rest he invested into lesser-known, but promising brands.

Once that was done, he was left with only 80,000 dollars. He needed to keep so for himself, but he also wanted to help his parents, so he sent them 20 thousand dollars without them knowing.

The remaining 60 thousand dollars was what he planned on actually using for daily use.

Once all that was done, he finally returned back to the ga. He was surprised when he realized it was already 10 am. "I spent nearly 3 hours doing all of that huh?" he thought.

He didn't have a plan for the days when he didn't have classes, so he decided to just fight against Pearl. He called Pearl out and got to fighting.

Pearl was very happy to fight with him every ti. Alex was happy too since that was a training Pearl as well. After fighting for a while, he realized that he wasn't really helping Pearl train for the different techniques that he could have had.

"Beasts are supposed to inherit abilities from their parents right? I wonder if you have so as well or I should get so techniques for you from a store," Alex thought.

All of a sudden, he released his cultivation base and started to seriously fight Pearl. He brought out a common sword he had and started attacking.

"Co on, fight back. Hit harder, use so techniques," Alex cried out as he swung towards Pearl. Pearl was barely dodging these attacks and was getting a little confused as to why Alex was so aggressive.

However, it was getting harder and harder to dodge, so suddenly his whole body glowed yellow and he let the sword land on him. Alex felt a jolt of fear when he saw his attack actually connect.

"Oh no! Pearl are? y—"

Suddenly, Pearl jumped at him. Alex was both happy and surprised. His paws glowed goldenly and it directly hit Alex's chest.

Despite wearing the armor, he could feel the impact of the attack and was quite surprised. At the sa ti, Pearl jumped back at him and tried to bite him.

Alex didn't want that, so he kicked the flying Pearl and sent him away. Pearl was lost in the fog, but he could sense where Alex was and ca running back towards him.

When he appeared, he could see a small change in Pearl. On his forehead that was usually white, there was a small golden line that was starting to form.

'Did I hurt him?' Alex's heart sank when he thought that. Pearl seed to have lost all sense of self and was still trying to attack him.

"Pearl Stop!" he ordered, but Pearl was still coming at him. "Stop! Stop!" he had to say it multiple tis before Pearl stopped running and snarled at him.

Alex walked forward and grabbed him in a hug. "It's okay, It's okay. I'm sorry, buddy. I didn't an to push you so far," Alex apologized.

The snarls stopped coming from Pearl and what ca out next was a cute "ow!". Alex looked at him and he was back to being normal. No splits on his forehead, no angry snarls on his face.

"Are you okay, buddy?" he asked.

"ow!" Pearl replied to confirm that he was okay now.

"Alright. No more fighting. I am happy that you knew those techniques. Do you know so more?" he asked.

"ow! ow! ow! ow!" Pearl owed to confirm, but he also said that he didn't know how to use it.

"I'm surprised I understood that at all," Alex thought. While he didn't understand what Pearl said, he understood the intent behind his words and could grasp the aning that way.

"Alright. Do you want to go back? Stay? Keep fighting?" Alex asked.

"ow!" Pearl said that he wanted to stay.

"Very well. Do what you want. Here, have so food even," Alex said and tossed him a corpse of a monster he had killed a few days ago. It was still pretty fresh.

Pearl started chomping on it, and Alex went on to practice his techniques. He didn't recklessly attack everywhere as he might hit Pearl, so he only trained with swords and attacked where he knew Pearl wasn't at.

After a few more hours of training, he sent Pearl away and told him not to co towards where he was at. After that, he prepared his makeshift furnace once more and got ready to make so pills of his own.
