Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 1220 Request

"Who?" Liz looked to the side, but she couldn't see anyone. A second later, however, a small boat floated into the arena with a few people on top of it.

Liz saw 3 different people and a cat, but her attention was pulled by a single one on top of it.

"Brother?" her eyes went wide.

"Liz!" Graham couldn't help but shout softly as emotions filled his voice. The boat lowered, and before it could even land, Graham jumped off to see his little sister.

"Brother? How? Did Alex find you?" Liz hurriedly asked.

"Yes, he did," Graham said as he wiped his tears.

"I… I can't believe it," Liz said as tears flowed down her eyes too. "I'm so happy!" She immediately hugged her brother, who hugged her back as well.

The elders looked at them with surprised expressions. "Brother? That's her brother?" they couldn't help but ask curiously.

For someone like Liz, who was well on her way into the Saint Foundation realm before the age of 100, it was surprising for her brother to show up who didn't even have a True realm cultivation base.

They couldn't believe just how weak he was.

"I remember something about her brother most likely being in the desert in the Southern Continent, that is probably why he is so weak," Tai Guan quickly said.

"Father," Alex called out. "We might have to cut the reunion a little short. How about we wait until we're done with our business here."

"Oh, okay," Graham said and moved to the side. "Do your thing."

Alex nodded and looked back to Hao Ya who came forward.

The few elders that were there looked closely to see who it was.

"Ah! Its you," a few of the elders recognized her, while a few didn't.

"Who is she?" they asked.

"Don't you remember? The girl that forced our sect to open up our treasury?" one of them said.

"It was this girl? I had never seen her face, so I didn't know."

Hao Ya stepped in front of them all and bowed softly. "Seniors, I have come back with a request. I hope you will lend me your ears for a moment," she said.

"What is it?" one of them asked. "Do you plan on robbing us once again?" They were still very hostile to her as she had gained unlimited access to their treasury and had taken away a lot of things that would be considered priceless treasures to the sects.

"I do not need anything material from you or your sect," Hao Ya said. "I came to request you to help in gathering individuals you otherwise know as players so I can take them back home."

"What? Players?" the elders were confused for a second. "What do you mean by sending them home? Are you going to send them back to their realm?"

"No, the players come from the Central continent, and I am here to take them back," Hao Ya said.

Her voice was loud enough that the crowd that had quietened down could clearly hear her every word. When they listened to her, a small group of people couldn't help but be stunned by what she was talking about.

"Our… home?"

"We can go back?"

"We have a home?"

The players that had lived thinking they were stuck inside of a game or had thought that they could never see their home again were wildly surprised by the sudden information that they could go back.

"What are you talking about?" one of the elders there asked. "What do you mean by people living in the Central continent? There's no way that is true."

"It is true, seniors," Hao Ya said. "That is where I have come from to request your aid in helping send back everyone. All you have to do is relay the information around and help people get to the Intercontinental Telportation formation as quickly as they can."

"How can we trust you?" another Elder asked.

"Please trust her, elders," Alex said as he came close to them as well. "It is indeed true that we just came from the Central continent to help take people back in case they want to."

"You came from the Central continent?" Lady Xuan asked.

"Yes, that is where my home is," Alex said.

"You've been in the Central continent this whole time? How?" Lady Xuan asked.

"No, actually I was in the Southern Continent this whole time. I teleported there on accident and have been staying there for the past 15 years," Alex said. "I returned to the Central Continent 3 days ago, and have come here today to ask you to help others find their home just like I did."

"Well…" the elders looked at each other. "We will have to discuss it a bit more amongst ourselves."

"Please do," Hao Ya said. "But I must implore you to make a decision as quickly as possible. It is best if we don't have to spend more than a week on this matter."

"Alright, alright," the elders said and waved her away.

The alchemy tournament had to come to a halt for a while as something important had come up. Even most of the alchemists there no longer wanted to keep participating if they had a chance to go home.

Not everyone knew just yet if they wanted to return or not. Not everyone had a bad life here, but they still would give it some thought since it was their home after all.

Alex walked up to his aunt with a big smile. "Aunt Liz, how have you been?" he asked.

Liz immediately hugged him. "Thank god you weren't dead. I- I knew you wouldn't die," she said as she cried.

"I'm sorry I couldn't even say goodbye when I left. Everything happened so… suddenly," Alex said.

"It's fine. You've returned, and somehow you've even found your father this time around. I'm very happy to see you both," Liz said.

"Oh, it's not just father," Alex said and gestured toward the boat.

Ronron who didn't know what to do with so many cultivators around was busy looking at everyone curiously. When she saw Alex's gesture, she quickly jumped out of the boat and ran toward him.

"Ronron, this is my aunt, Elizabeth. You can call her Liz for short," Alex introduced her.

Ronron quickly bowed, her ponytail flipping in front of her in the process. "Greetings, grandaunt Liz. I am Maron. You can call me Ronron too," she quickly said.

"Grand… aunt?" Liz's face filled with confusion for a moment as she didn't understand what that meant at all.

"Hehe, isn't my granddaughter cute?" Graham asked.

"Granddaughter?" Liz's eyes went wide as she realized what was happening. Her eyes went from Graham to Ronron then to Alex.

"She's your daughter?" she shouted in disbelief, catching the attention of a few of the elders that were discussing the situation.

"Huh? Whose daughter?" Tai Guan asked.

"Yu Ming's?" Lady Xuan was curious as well.

Alex smiled. "Yes, she's my daughter," he said, shocking not just his aunt, but everyone in the arena who knew anything in the least about him.

Liz was still the most shocked after all and she couldn't help but ask, "When did you get married?"
