After being homeschooled his entire life in his isolated farm, Alex finally makes his way to a big city where he finds out about a new VR game called Eternal Cultivation. By luck, Alex receives the Inheritance of the Alchemy God as his reward. Using that inheritance and masters that care for him, Alex begins to learn about the new world he has found himself in while pursuing both Alchemy and Cultivation to the pinnacle.

The Alchemy God entered the hall and congratulated all those who passed.
"To remind you all once again, those who have passed this competition will continue on until the end. At the end, we will choose 100 of you based on how well you've performed throughout the entire tournament."
"So, do your best, and I will see you all next time."
The ones who had passed were dismissed again, while the ones who had failed were kept behind.
"What do you think he tells the ones who failed?" Killersky asked.
Alex shrugged. "I don't know. I haven't had any contact with people who failed," he said.
"I have," Killersky replied. "But they didn't tell me. Apparently, they were vowed to secrecy or something."
"Maybe he offers them a job," Aethersage said. "Just because an Alchemist failed in a competition doesn't mean they're bad. Maybe he finds the best of those who failed and takes them under his arm, to nurture them further."
