Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2123  A New Person

Alex had barely any idea who those were. He was quite curious to see those people as it sounded like they did not belong to any of the organizations in this world.

Thunderspine hadn\'t left yet. He had asked him to wait for a year at least. That was how long it would take him to earn another ticket.

Alex spent a few days getting back in shape before he got right into making the Heavensent Invincibility pill. He had already made it once, albeit poorly, so it would be much easier henceforth.

He could also utilize his Dao of Seven Elemental Interaction to further help him with managing the energy released from those ingredients.

With Intent added on top of it, Alex had no doubt he would be successful each time he made the pill.

He ended up spending a total of 3 months and upwards of 200 thousand Spirit stones to buy all of the ingredients that he needed. With each successive pill, he improved it ever so slightly, letting more of the energy stay within the cauldron so the pill came out better in the end.

Alex failed twice during the 3 months, not due to his negligence but on purpose. He wanted to understand what it was that resulted in the energy turning volatile.

After the 2 failures, he managed to discover a strong Metal energy with the Scarab fruit that was the main problem. With the energy, it reacted to almost every other energy that came before it and after it, resulting in the whole mixture being volatile. After locating the problematic element, he began isolating it in further pill-making sessions, which made the entire thing become much easier than before.

With such training, in the 3 months, he managed to go from a 32% pill to a 78% pill. He still struggled to make it reach 80%, let alone 100%.

80% was what Elder Liang had asked for in order to approve him for the Supreme Alchemist test. Alex needed to work some more.

Alex was about to go on another training session when he suddenly felt something.

Pearl had teleported close by.

Whenever Pearl arrived from far away, the sudden closeness came with a sudden burst of presence within him which made it easy for him to tell when Pearl was close by.

No surprise, a second later he got a message from Silvermist asking him to meet him.

Alex decided to postpone this session of pill-making for later and went to meet the group.

They always stayed at the same hotel in Bluesilk City which was closest to the Blue Silk sect, so Alex arrived there no more than 15 minutes later.

He went into the hotel and asked for the people who had recently come in. The receptionists were usually told that Alex would be coming along, so they let him go right up.

Alex arrived at a room toward the upper floors where he could feel Pearl\'s strong presence within it. He knocked on the door.

"Master. I\'m here," he said out loud.

The door opened on its own and Alex walked in.

Grimsight sat alone on a sofa, facing the window, slowly sipping at a cup of tea. Pearl sat on the end of the long sofa as well, awkwardly drinking his own cup of Tea.

Silvermist sat on the sofa too, but unlike the others staying separately, he was sitting side by side with a man who looked a few years younger than him.

He was a handsome man with fluffy black hair and white skin that complimented each other. The man looked toward Alex and Alex noticed his grayish-white pupils.

Silvermist turned around. "Come on in, disciple. I want you to meet someone," the man said.

Alex walked up to them, understanding who this man might be.

"This is Snowleaf, our other companion," Silvermist said.

Alex had guessed so. "Greetings, senior Snowleaf. It is a pleasure to have finally met you." The man was most certainly a Divine realm cultivator. He was absolutely his senior.

"When senior brother told me he had taken a disciple, I hadn\'t expected one to be this weak," Snowleaf said. "Senior brother, are you sure he will be up to the task? I don\'t think he can even make all the pills just yet."

"We have time. He will cultivate until then," Silvermist said, turning to look at Alex with a wide smile. "Good job on reaching the 5th realm. Your speed is good. You will be in the Immortal Origin realm by the time the tournament starts."

Alex nodded. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Well, if you are half as good as what senior brother tells me you are, I suppose I can accept you," the man said. "Still, it is quite bold of you to delay our departure by a decade. I was looking forward to being back at home right now."

"There\'s nothing to do there anyway," Silvermist said. "Everyone is out looking for disciples of their own."

"I… suppose that is true," Snowleaf said. "Speaking of which, I nearly had myself a disciple too, senior brother. He was so talented too."

"Oh? What happened? Did you not manage to get him to join you?" Silvermist asked.

"I was about to, but that bas— ahem, senior Wineweed took him away from my clutches," Snowleaf said. "He is his disciple now."

"Wineweed?" Silvermist seemed to lose his leisurely look for an anger-filled one. "How did you meet that bastard?"

"He had gone there too, senior brother," Snowleaf said. "To Godkiller\'s tomb. That\'s where I met him."

Alex had been following the conversation for a bit when the information hit him out of nowhere. \'Wait… whose tomb?\'
