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.

Alex asked what had happened to Xue Meirong and Gu Zhanrou.
Xue Meirong was the daughter of Xue Mufan, the other of the two Saint Alchemists that were around when Alex was here over 30 years ago.
Gu Zhanrou on the other hand was someone who had managed to beat Xue Meirong in a small competition Alex had held and had managed to become the Royal Alchemist after him.
They had both shown tremendous talent in the Alchemy competition that Alex had won, so now that he learned what Zhou Ren was up to, he wanted to learn what the other two were up to as well.
It turned out that Xue Meirong was an elder in the Falling Lotus sect, working along with her father to make the sect the best Alchemy sect in the empire.
Gu Zhanrou had returned back to her own sect, which was also trying to compete against the Falling Lotus sect to become the best Alchemy sect.
As of now, the Falling Lotus sect was winning, but it wasn't ahead by that much.
