Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 2102 Two More Conditions

“This might be the first time I’m not annoyed about you being recognized, brother Grim,” Silvermist said. “Things should go much easier now.”

They all looked back at Silvermist, remembering it was this person they were here to vet for Alex.

“If it is okay with you, would you mind telling us why the two of you are together?” Thunderspine asked.

Silvermist shrugged. “He’s my guard. A mere alchemist like myself can’t protect myself, so I need someone else’s aid, you know?” he said.

Everyone doubted a man of his caliber needed a guard at all. Not everyone knew how much Silvermist liked to let his mouth run and get himself into trouble.

Only Grimsight understood the trouble in that room.

“I suppose that answers the question as to whether you are truly Alchemist Silvermist or not,” Elder Liang said. “I can’t see who else could get someone like senior Spearh— uhh, senior Grimsight to get to be his guard.”

The rest nodded. They were still very much curious about Grimsight. They couldn’t sense any cultivation base from him, Had he perhaps irreversibly damaged his cultivation base in the war? How had the wounds in his body not healed yet after remaining with an alchemist for so long?

And that eye. Why did that eye bother them so very much?

“So, we came to talk about whether or not you think I am good enough to take your disciple with me, didn’t we?” Silvermist asked. “What do you think?”

“The tournament our disciple mentioned. Is that true?” Elder Liang asked.

“It is,” Silvermist said. “The Alchemy God himself came to announce the message over half a century ago regarding the tournament. He wishes it be held in about 70 years from now so we can find the next greatest Alchemist from the younger generation that has not yet been brought over to the Medicine world.”

The elders listened to those words in awe. “When did you arrive in the Myriad Spirit realm, senior?” Elder Liang asked.

“Around 30 years ago? I think it’s closer to 40 years now,” Silvermist explained. “We left a decade or so after the announcement. We had someone who was going to the Three Jewel World around the time, so we left with him.”

“The tomb did open recently,” Crimsonsky replied.

“Why did you choose this world, if you don’t mind me asking,” Elder Liang continued.

“I have a fellow disciple in this realm, so I assumed it would be an easy place for me to be and search for a disciple of my own for the tournament,” Silvermist answered. “As for why this realm specifically, it is because this is the place that takes in the most ascended Immortals out of all the other realms. So I thought I had higher chances here.”

“Oh…” everyone nodded with understanding. Those words made sense to them.

Silvermist had one more reason, of course. He was originally from this realm, so he had nostalgia attached to this place. Not that he would tell anyone else about this. The Myriad Spirit realm he remembered and the Myriad Spirit realm that existed now was way too different after all.

“I am convinced, but I should ask a few more questions just to be safe,” Thunderspine said. Although, with Grimsight right by the man, he couldn’t imagine how much more proof he needed that this man was who he said he was.

Even if he didn’t truth Silvermist one bit, anyone who knew about Grimsight —or rather, Spearheaven— knew that he was a man worthy of respect and admiration.

He had been one of the strongest soldiers of humanity during the war, killing more demons alone than others could ever hope to see in their lifetime.

Out of every human being that they had ever met, this was the closest existence to the peak of cultivators they had ever managed to meet on such a personal level.

After all, Spearheaven had famously been a Spear Sage, the man that many believed to one day become the Spear God himself. Had he not vanished as he did, leaving people to believe he was dead, he might have even been the one to become the Spear God instead. An hour or so later, the elders walked out of the room.

Alex waited outside, having been called over at some point as the conversation had come to an end. Alex greeted the elders as they came out.

The elders left and only Thunderspine stood around. “We have done as you asked, and thoroughly vetted these two men for you,” he said. “I… I cannot tell you just how lucky you are to have met these two incredible individuals. If I were an Alchemist at my current position, I might still have decided to go with them.”

Alex could hardly believe that the sect master had such a positive attitude after the meeting. Did that mean all of his doubts were answered?

“You can go meet them. They are waiting for you inside,” Thunderspine said and left. Only Elder Shang remained close by so she could see off the two once Alex was done talking.

Alex walked into the room and greeted the two.

“Junior Dawnblade,” Silvermist said. “Are you happy now? Will you accept to be my champion for the tournament?”

“I will, senior,” Alex said. “But first…”

He turned to Grimsight.

“Yes, yes,” Silvermist said, bringing out the crystal sphere which he popped open to reveal the pill inside. The Heaven’s Arbiter pill with its pill soul gave Alex a feeling of awe once again.

Grimsight took the pill. “Tell me what oath you want me to speak exactly. You should have thought of it by now.”

“I have,” Alex said and passed along the oath. “But before you consume it, I have to mention I have 2 more conditions to become the champion.”

Silvermist frowned. “What conditions? You better not think of taking advantage of me.”

“I hope that is not how this condition comes off,” Alex said. “We should be going over to the Divine Sanctuary realm or the Eclipsing Heaven next right? My first condition is that you help me search for a few people when we arrive in that world. And when we arrive in the Medicine World too.”

Silvermist frowned. “We will be heading directly to the Medicine World,” he said. “I have a direct teleportation talisman to that world.”

Alex was surprised to hear that. “But it is important that I take the long way to the Medicine World so I can search for some people. That was part of the reason why I decided to accept your offer.”

“Is it important?” Silvermist asked.

“Quite,” Alex answered.

Silvermist frowned. “I suppose I can make that trade-off. It is only 10 years at most after all. Okay, what is the other one?”

Alex turned to look at Grimsight next. “My other condition is for senior Grimsight instead.”

Grimsight raised his only eyebrow. “What do you want from me?” he asked.

“Senior, you are good with a Spear, aren’t you?” he asked. “I saw you use Spear Qi back in the forest.”

“You could say that,” Grimsight said.

Alex smiled. “Then, would you mind training Pearl, my bonded beast, in the ways of the Spear?”
