Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 2179 Ember Forest



Chapter 2179 Ember Forest

The Molten Hearth continent was known for its volcanoes that covered a section of the northern regions of the continent. Aside from that, there was also a significant amount of fire Qi in the region, making it an excellent location to grow such ingredients.

Alex and the rest had arrived at the Ember Forest, a large forest the size of multiple countries where beasts and plants grew uncontested.

Cultivators went in frequently to get some ingredients, but none of it belonged to them.

Alex felt the fire Qi in the air and was surprised at just how much there was for him to feel. “It’s like something is eternally burning around here,” he said as he walked into the forest.

This was the first place he was visiting after arriving at the continent and it was simply something he had never felt before.

“This land has had so much volcano around it that at some point, most of the Spirit veins here have been turned into Fire Spirit Vein,” Silvermist answered. Alex was quite surprised to hear that fact. “Fire Spirit Vein? I have never before come across a spirit vein that was affected by an element before,” he said. “Then this will be your first time,” Silvermist said as she strode along with Alex into the forest. They picked a few ingredients here and there, most of which was Alex’s job.

Silvermist simply stayed behind, watching him do the job.

“The city we were in before didn’t have these Spirit veins, did it?” Alex asked. “Are only some of these Fire Spirit veins or did they somehow cleanse the other ones?”

“Some were cleansed, as you say. Some cleared up on their own when they were moved away from the volcanic regions where they couldn’t constantly absorb fire Qi. And some were even traded with other regions who wanted Fire spirit veins. You don’t know this, but even our court has an Immortal Fire Spirit vein that we got from this continent.”

“Oh!” Alex hadn’t considered trading. “Are there other locations in the Medicine World with such spirit veins?” “There are a few in the Medicine Continent, but those are Fire Spirit Vein too,” Silvermist said. “If you’re looking for another element… there are none other in this continent.”

“What about other worlds?” Alex asked.

“Other worlds?” Silvermist thought for a bit. “The Golden Dao realm has quite a few Metal Spirit veins. There might be some in Bloodhaven too. The Divine Thunderforge Realm and Sky God’s Palace both have quite a few Wood Spirit veins, but they’re a little special since they are even more split into lightning and wind spirit veins.”

“The Eternal Isles have a lot of Water Spirit veins, but most of those are found under the ocean, and you don’t want to go underwater there. The beasts there do nothing if you stay above water, but the moment you go down, they will fight you like you killed their family.”

Alex was a little surprised to hear that.

“Spirit Water World has a few Water Spirit veins as well. As for Earth Spirit veins, I do not believe there is one. The Formation Monarch’s Realm has a lot of every kind, but those were brought over from other places. I believe the demons have some though, not sure where.”

“They call it the Mystic Demon realm, one of the 9 remaining Immortal realms the demons possess,” Grimsight said from the side. “They also have a lot of other ones, don’t they?” Silvermist asked.

“They do, or did. It’s been nearly 150 thousand years since we…” Grimsight fell silent. He let out a deep sigh and shook his head. “I do not know how things have changed since our crime.”

Alex turned to look at him with some curiosity. “What crime, senior?” he asked.

“He regrets fighting innocent demons in the war,” Silvermist replied. “Better not remind him of that time.”

Alex nodded. Was that the crime?

‘150 thousand years,’ Alex thought. ‘Didn’t the war end just 90 thousand years ago?’

Alex wondered when it was that Grimsight stopped fighting. He feared he wouldn’t get any answer for a while.

They continued going through the Ember forest, finding different ingredients. From time to time, they ran across various beasts, who were either passing by or protecting some precious flower or fruit they wanted to consume later.

The ones passing by did nothing to them, simply greeting and leaving. The ones that were protecting something were more standoffish, wanting to fight them in order to protect what they believed was theirs.

Alex ignored those, letting them keep their plants. He continued searching for more through the forest.

“Oh? What’s this?” Silvermist said, noticing something. “Do you know what those are?”

Alex didn’t know what Silvermist was talking about, so he quickly expanded his spiritual sense in the general direction he pointed to. Upon reaching the end, he noticed the things.

“Huh? Aren’t those World Defying Mushrooms?” Alex asked, confused. He walked briskly, arriving before the mushrooms.

The World Defying mushrooms that were supposed to be white were entirely red. “They’re affected by the fire,” Alex said, surprised. “They’re ruined.”

“Not necessarily,” Silvermist said as he walked by and started picking them up.

Alex watched his master do what he did with a confused look. “Can they be used still?” he asked. “We don’t even know what sort of fire energy they were corrupted by. I can’t imagine using them in an alchemy.”

“Not alchemy,” Silvermist said. “Refining. Don’t you want to improve your cauldron spirit as quickly as possible?”

“Oh, right. I can do that. I was so tunnel-visioned on gathering ingredients for the sake of them being an ingredient that I didn’t even think of that,” Alex said. “These should be great for improving my cauldron.”

Alex gathered his fire-afflicted Immortal grade World Defying Mushroom, taking the hundreds of them into his Soul Space. When he had the time, he would later refine them.
