As she was the only one he had yet to meet, he was a bit too excited about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship they used flew at such incredible speed that Du Yuhan felt scared about it half the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we really be going this fast?\" he asked. \"Not even the sect's grand ship flies this fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine,\" Alex said. \"Those ships are meant to carry very many people, so they have to be slow in general for stability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one carries 3 people at most so it can go as fast as I can make it go,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still…\" Du Yuhan looked around as the trees blitzed past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, we'll be fine,\" Alex said. \"Also, just think about how fast we will reach there. In just a few hours we will be in Rubyroad city,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah… I don't doubt you on that,\" Du Yuhan said. He was still a little scared about the speed but said nothing as Alex continued to steer it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex felt a little happy that Du Yuhan did come with him as there would be no one else to keep him company while he was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was forced to leave his mother alone, Alex let Pearl stay with her as well so that the jaguar would look after her just in case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, this competition you mentioned,\" Du Yuhan asked, \"it's going to have strong fighters right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Alex said. \"It is the biggest competition in the arena in the last 2 decades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How strong are these people going to be?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, it's for anyone that is below the age of 50, so anyone that counts I suppose,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what's the general cultivation base of these people that are below 50 years old?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well… at this time, it should be True Emperor realm,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the saint realm? Are there any?\" Du Yuhan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex shook his head. \"No,\" he said. \"There's a certain difficulty in reaching the Saint realm that one cannot do just by breaking through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if one is at the peak of True Emperor realm, they would need quite a while longer before they are able to enter the Saint realm,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, is there an obstacle?\" Du Yuhan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex nodded. \"To enter the Saint realm, you need to open up your naval area so you can freely access the energy that is stored there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once it is accessed, it becomes the main essence of your cultivation, and that is very hard to achieve from what I've heard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I think it is unlikely that anyone will enter the Saint realm before this competition,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so you have a chance then,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, maybe, maybe not. It all depends on how far I can go in the next 9 months. I plan on cultivating with a lot of dedication so I can at least touch the True Emperor realm,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can do that, I will finally have a chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them talked for a while longer as the sun reached the zenith. Finally, they saw a city far in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're here,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they got close, the two of them dropped from the ship and walked on foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lined up to enter and soon entered the city itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex remembered this city. In the city, he had to make pills overnight because there were people dying from the beast attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, nothing of what he remembered remained much around here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know if I can even navigate to my sister's house,\" Alex said. \"We might have to ask for directions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I know the way. I've been here before remember,\" Du Yuhan said and took the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's memories returned as he went through the streets. He recognized a clothing shop that used to be a restaurant before. He recognized a blacksmithing place that had now turned into a small general store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the flower shops had turned into a bakery, while the medical shop at the end of the road remained the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt really weird knowing that 10 years was barely any time for him. All he had done was train a bit, learn a few knowledge, and returned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, in that time, so much had changed for the mortals. There was nothing more telling for him about the life he had already left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he didn't even know it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, Alex stood in front of a familiar white manor. 'If you want something unchanged and untouched over the years, leave it to the cultivators,' he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex saw a carriage stop by and a woman got down from it. The moment she did, Alex immediately recognized her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Meng!\" he called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman turned around and looked toward Alex before giving him a confused look. \"Hello, do I know you?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? Do you not recognize me?\" Alex asked with a surprised voice. He couldn't understand how Luo Mei's sister-like maid could have possibly forgotten about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's me, Yu Ming. Remember?\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the woman's face didn't show signs of remembering at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex felt a little shocked by that. 'Are 10 years really that long?' he wondered. 'Or have I changed that much? No way.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered giving Meng Yun a Spirit Cleansing Lily before leaving, so as far as he knew, she should have a concrete memory of him. 'Is she sick?' he wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really not remember me? I'm your young lady's junior disciple brother,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That only confused the woman even more so. \"My young lady doesn't have a junior disciple brother. She only has an elder disciple brother,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex was stunned now. 'What's going on? Was her mind wiped? Did my existence erase from her memories? Did she suffer from a Qi deviation?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's mind went everywhere when Du Yuhan placed a hand on his shoulder. \"I think I get what is going on,\" he said. \"Luo Mei had made an off-hand comment about this once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\" Alex asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuhan ignored him and looked at the woman in front of him. \"You're not Meng Yun, are you?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman shook her head. \"I'm her sister, Meng Fei,\" the woman said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuhan pat Alex as he said, \"you were speaking with her twin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… see,\" Alex was still stunned, only now the reason had changed. \"So when I said your young lady, you meant…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Luo Xing,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex finally realized where the problem lied and laughed a bit. \"I'm sorry for the confusion. I'm sister Luo Mei's junior disciple brother. Can you let her know I am here?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" Meng Fei said and quickly walked into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex and Du Yuhan waited a bit before a woman in a pretty blue dress walked out of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last 10 years, she had grown and matured, but she didn't seem to have aged a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her black hair that shined with a hint of blue was longer than he ever remembered it, and her blue eyes popped that much more due to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fair skin remained ever untarnished as she walked out into the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she looked to the front of the house and saw Alex standing there, her eyes visibly moistened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior brother?\" she called out, just to make sure what she was looking at was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister!\" Alex called back as he was really happy to see her as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mei realized that he really was her junior brother so she immediately ran out and hugged him tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're back!\" she cried out as tears began flowing down her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I'm back,\" Alex said as he hugged her back as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuhan remained behind as he watched the two. \"I wish you would someday be that happy to see me too,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mei's tears vanished when she heard him and immediately let go of Alex. Only then did she realize Du Yuhan was there as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh-what are you doing here?\" she asked with a trembling voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuhan could only give her a sad smile in response. \"Hello, Meimei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1428,"2026-05-29T03:37:27.885Z","2026-06-01T04:29:05.147Z",1,"novelbin.me","42b1c5915c5240269e71c9e6cdebff4552f819b538ffb729c0ef0d15911e96b1","eternal-cultivation-of-alchemy-chapter-774","eternal-cultivation-of-alchemy-chapter-772",3577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-of-alchemy-cover.jpg"]
