Chapter 2254 Great Advancement
The staff looked at the list of ingredients and was confused for a second. “I’ve never seen some of these ingredients before,” he said. “Never knew Gale Immortal Rat eyes or Jade Immortal Locust Shell to be ingredients.”
Alex didn’t blame the man. He was quite surprised about them as well. “What about the rest?” he asked. “Let me check to make sure,” the man said and left for a bit. He came back a while later. “We have the True Mist Berry, the Winter Heart Bamboo wood and water, and the Devil Skull flower. The rest… we have some of Seven Colored Angel Rose’s stamen, but not enough for 15 grams.”
Alex was surprised there were so many of these. “Have you seen anyone who has worn a medallion like this before?” he asked.
The staff looked at him and slowly shook his head. “This is my first time, I fear,” the man said.
Alex nodded. “I will take what you have from the list,” he said. “Also, do you happen to have Spirit Cleansing Lily and the Divine Devil fruit?” “We do,” the man said.
Alex’s face glowed in happiness. “Finally! I will have those as well.”
“Right away,” the man said, leaving to collect the items.
“Master, what were those last 2 items? Those were not on the list of your ingredients,” Momo said.
“No, they are something else,” Alex said. “They are the reason why I haven’t begun your Alchemy lessons just yet. I have tried finding it back in God’s Domain but failed to find any each time, almost as though they were already bought away.”
“But, now that I have found it, it will take you one cultivation session to get ready for your lesson. Then you can finally begin making pills of your own.”
Momo’s eyes widened as she heard those words. “Really? I can… finally start?” she asked.
“Yes,” Alex said. “Tomorrow morning, we will start your lesson.”
The staff returned a few moments later with a storage bag full of all the ingredients, costing Alex a total of just over 9000 Immortal Spirit stones. Considering he didn’t even buy that many ingredients, it felt like a scam. But that was how it was with strong ingredients like Devil Skull flower. It was likely of a good grade.
Alex checked through the storage bag and nodded. He had only gotten less than 3 grams of Seven Colored Angel Rose’s stamen, but he couldn’t complain about that. It was a rose that only grew once every year and the one had to be lucky to find it when they did. Each flower had not even half a gram in terms of stamens and considering each plant only bloomed one flower every year, it was a struggle to find these.
“Thank you,” Alex said and paid the price before moving to browse through what else was available. He bought a few things, intending to make some pills when he could. He specifically bought ingredients to make cultivation pills so he could return to continuing his cultivation sessions.
Once he bought everything he could, he went around to find a place to stay. He wondered if all the places were occupied or if he could find some empty places. Surely with people leaving to go watch the tournament in the other continent, they had to have come from an empty location.
Alex had no illusion that there would be an empty place for him in Rosefall City. Instead, he had to move to a different city that was nearly a hundred kilometers away from Rosefall City.
There were obviously small towns and villages along the way, but as Immortal, Alex easily ignored them as places he would be staying in.
“The Redmist city should be up ahead,” Alex said as they flew through the sky.
“Brother, why didn’t you visit the other stores back in that city? The others may have the ingredients you are missing,” Pearl said.
“No,” Alex said. “Those people have a connection with every big alchemy store. They work together to provide an ease of purchase for the customer, going so far as to borrow and lend ingredients to each other.”
“When that man went to check if they had the ingredients, he checked for every big store in the city. So when he said he didn’t have much, he meant it.”
“Oh!” Pearl said in surprise. “The Silvermist Court doesn’t do that.”
“Master’s place is a large supplier of their own and no one works with them, so they don’t need to do something like that,” Alex said.
Momo couldn’t fly just yet, but she could hover to the side on her own with someone else’s support, like lending a hand to someone who was just learning to swim. It didn’t take much effort on the part of the person that helped and the one learning to swim didn’t immediately drown. This wouldn’t help Momo fly, but it would help her understand how flying worked.
When she could finally fly, she wouldn’t have to learn from the start.
“That’s the Whole Rose Garden over there. See?” Alex said, pointing far away at the base of the Mistspawn mountain, hundreds of kilometers away.
“Where?”
“I can barely see the colors.”
“Brother, your eyes are too good.”
“Huh? Oh… you guys can’t see that as well, huh?” Alex asked. “Anyway, that patch of colorful land over there is the flower garden. When we come there later, I will take you guys to the top of the mountain too.”
“Yay!” Momo celebrated.
They arrived at the Redmist city. By the time they were there, it was afternoon already. They had spent a lot of time going everywhere.
Alex and the group once again entered an Alchemy store where he asked the staff if they had the ingredients he was looking for. It appeared they had the Immortal Pearl Oak’s sap. It was even enough for Alex to get all of what he needed. free𝑤ebnovel.com
They didn’t have anything else, but Alex was happy with the sole thing he found.
Just the day before, he had a total of 4 of the 14 ingredients he needed, and he was happy with just that. And in a single day, after coming to a different continent, he now had 5 more ingredients, and part of a 6th one, leaving 4 others to be found on his own.
Alex found a courtyard which he purchased for a year. He had a feeling he would be staying for that long at least in this place.
Once they were settled, it was time for Momo to begin cultivating. The Divine Devil fruit could wait for later. For now, the Spirit Cleansing Lily was the more important of the two.
“Hold this with you while you cultivate,” Alex explained. “You won’t have to do anything else.”
“Okay…” Momo said, still quite confused about what exactly was happening. Alex had told her her Spiritual sea would open and she would gain Spiritual sense, but what did that even mean exactly?
Still, if doing this meant she was going to get to learn Alchemy, then she would do it however many times as it was needed.
So, she closed her eyes, took in a deep breath, and started cultivating.
