?Sunlight City was located near the ocean on a tall cliff with tall buildings and spires that seemed as though they wanted to touch the sky.

The sound of ocean water splashing on the side of its cliffs could be heard well before one even arrived next to it.

Alex slowed down his ship as they approached the city and put it away when they were close enough. From there, they had to walk all on their own. There were no walls to the city, so there were no guards they had to cross to enter it.

The city had spread far enough that houses could be seen long before Alex had even stopped. At this point, it was hard to say where the city ended as everything appeared to belong to it.

Alex and Fang Yuxie made their way through the city, searching for a place to stay as their first objective. There were a lot of things that Alex saw that made him want to stay and check, but he needed a place to cultivate properly first.

The few hours of cultivation back on the ship did nothing for him at all.

“There’s one.”

Fang Yuxie pointed to a place called the Morning’s Glory Courtyard. It was a place they could rest in.

Alex quickly got himself a room and Fang Yuxie got one for herself.

He separated from her and went to his own room, finally feeling relaxed enough to let his guard down. Pearl appeared out of the soul Space, looking around at the place they had come to.

“We left?” he asked.

“Things happened. Had to run away,” Alex said and began explaining the situation.

“How long will Whisker be gone for?” Pearl asked.

Alex checked and was a little surprised. “Just a few more hours. He reconstitutes faster now it appears. He wondered if it was because he was an Immortal, or if this world was just that much better for him.”

“So… when do we check the loot?” Pearl asked excitedly.

“Right now,” Alex said and sent him into the Soul Space where the loot floated around aimlessly. He made sure to keep Pearl away from the poisons as he would most likely die within seconds of coming into contact.

Once the poisons and the psyche with the blood still on it were moved away, Alex began looking through things along with Pearl.

None of the pills he saw were of any value to him. They were good, but they were all either healing pills or antidotes for special poisons. Aside from a few of those, most of those could be sold.

He checked through the talismans next. He destroyed communication talismans immediately as there was no need for him to keep them with him. The rest of the talismans, he looked through.

There were a bunch of recipes for pills and poisons, and then some defensive and offensive talisman. There were 2 talismans that contained the two scythe skills, neither of which Alex wanted to learn.

Alex moved on, going through all the other belongings of the old woman. There were weapons, formations, various books, and whatnot. He destroyed anything that wasn’t of value, keeping only that which was of use to him or could be sold.

Both of the trees were still quite excited when it came to eating whatever he gave them, including the poisoned corpse of the old woman he had brought with him.

In the end, the best thing he received from the old woman turned out to be the scythe itself. The dark scythe, once cleaned up, could be sold for a rather good price he imagined.

There were two more things he hadn’t gotten to. The shield and the pill.

The shield belonged to Elder Lan, which he had dropped when he was attacked by the First Elder. And the pill was the exploding pill that he had given him to use.

Alex hadn’t used it and now it was here, ready for him to learn from.

Alex wondered what he should do with these two. The shield was not something he could use immediately. It didn’t belong to him, so refining it would take some time if he did want to use it.

As for the pill, he needed to learn its composition as soon as he could so that he could make more of it. He needed to form a recipe in reverse with just the pill and nothing else.

Understanding the pill’s contents would take him a lot of time as he was only just beginning to get used to Immortal ingredients, so he decided to leave it for later.

However, there was something he could do in a short amount of time.

Alex checked the pill first and managed to learn that it had a Harmony of 72%. So, he used the Divine Elemental Accord to improve it.

He wasn’t going to improve it all the way to 100%, just to a rather high grade where it would be of much more use to him. At the same time, he also used the information he gained from the Divine Elemental Accord when he first tapped into the pill to understand its elemental composition.

Understanding what variation of energy interacted with was the first step in learning how the pill was made. And now, Alex had taken a step closer to learning that by just using Divine Elemental Accord.

With his Dao of Seven Elemental Interaction, it would be no trouble for him to discern more about the pill when he had the time to think about it more thoroughly.

For now, it was time for him to cultivate.

It took Alex nearly 2 days to be done with cultivation, coming out at the end with a full Dantian. Then, he left his room and finally went outside.

Sun had risen high into the sky when Alex came out, reaching nearly two-thirds of the way in the sky.

He looked around, wondering where Fang Yuxie went. Was she still in the city or had she already left? She had mentioned something about sticking with him for a while. That had made Alex curious.

‘Whatever, I’ll go find her if I plan on leaving this place,’ he thought and walked out of Morning’s Glory courtyard.

Arriving outside at the bustling city, Alex took a deep breath as it had been a long time since he had been in a place like this. The last time he was around this many people was when he first arrived at Aurora City to join the Poison Fighters sect.

He saw many people walk past him, all in various cultivation realms. There were some True cultivators, a lot of Saint Cultivators, and a decent amount of Immortal.

Just like how True cultivators were the majority in his realm back home, it appeared Saints were the majority in the Immortal realm.

It was only in sects and large organizations that there was a concentration of Immortals.

Alex looked around and wondered what he wanted to do first. Since he had a load of stuff to sell, he decided to go to some store.

To start with, he decided to sell the various pills and recipes, so he headed for an Alchemy store that was sure to be at the center of the city.
