Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 2282 Back to Normalcy

Rosemist took a moment to answer Alex’s question. “Divinity, huh? I suppose I’m strong enough that I won’t lose any fights if I get into one,” she said. “But… I also won’t be winning any fight either.”

“So, you’re very strong,” Alex said.

“I have to be,” Rosemist answered.

He didn’t know what to say to that, so he asked another question. “You’ve been here for a long time right?” he asked. She had raised a young beast to become a Divine realm beast, so she had to be very old.

“Very long,” Rosemist said.

“I’m sorry if this is crossing the line, but… are you the reason why this place is called a Holy Site?” he asked.

“Am I the reason?” Rosemist asked herself. “I most certainly perpetuated the idea. As for whether or not I was responsible for it from the start, that’s up to debate.”

Alex wasn’t expecting to get an answer like that. “Did people start making up a religion based on these mountains after you came here?” he asked.

“Oh no,” Rosemist said. “These mountains have stood here long before I came. That religion had millions of followers before I was even born.”

“I see,” he said. At least, he knew now that Rosemist was not the reason behind the religion. Although, she was without doubt the cause of this place still being called a Holy Site after so many millennia.

There wasn’t much else for him to ask now. The sun had made its way to the other side of the mountain, so he had been away for half a day more than he had told Momo and Pearl he would. freeweɓnovel.cm

“I will leave now,” he told her. “I’ll come back later.”

“Okay,” Rosemist said, waving him away.

Alex flew out of the mist and searched for anyone who could be following him. He saw none of the Divinities there as they had all run away from the site.

The Divinities had noticed nothing special about those mountains, so they must’ve stopped caring about it so much. They would leave him alone now, not forcing their way on him anymore. That was not to say Alex was done with them.

As soon as he could talk with his master again, he would tell them what had happened and how close he was to losing his qualifications for the tournament. Alex returned back to his place where Momo was waiting for him. She had expected him to come earlier, but she hadn’t seemed worried about him going missing. Alex couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought that it would’ve likely taken her days to even realize something had happened to him and ask Pearl for help.

Alex quietly went back to teaching her, mentioning nothing of the small ordeal he had gone through. She didn’t need to know and she certainly didn’t deserve to feel nervous every time after this when he was just a little late. He would just tell Pearl when he was out and that would be the end of it.

“How often do you go out to the cities?” he asked her. “You haven’t been cooped in here all this time right?”

“Uncle Pearl takes me out once in a while,” Momo said. “We go out to buy and sell a few things before returning.”

“Good,” Alex said. “I’m so busy that I worried you were stuck here all day.”

After taking some time to train her, Alex went back to his room as the night deepened. Once again, he made pills and slowly settled into the same rhythm he had come to be in the past few months, ignoring the small hurdle today.

If there was one thing Alex liked the most about the Medicine world, then it was the fact that the Alchemists here were so talented that there were pill clouds in the sky every other day. In total, only a small number of alchemists were probably getting pill clouds once every few weeks. But from an outsider’s perspective, it happened every other day.

So, Alex didn’t have to worry much about people figuring out he was creating Pill Clouds all that much. He wished he could hide those pill clouds, but if he wanted better pills, he needed to reveal them.

Through regular Pill Clouds, 4-veined pills required him to have the strength of Immortal Origin 7th realm, which he had.

Through Ritual Oath Pill Clouds, 4-veined pills required him to have the strength of Immortal Transcendent 3rd realm. As a result, he could only make 3-veined pills if he were to hide the Pill Clouds.

Alex always went for the higher pill veins since that made the pills that much better. The next requirement after those was Immortal Transcendent 2nd realm for 5 veins through regular pill clouds, which would still be much easier than making 4-veined pills with Ritual Oath. ‘I need to reach the Immortal Origin realm first before I do anything anyway,’ he thought and began cultivating once he was done making pills. Alex was progressing with his cultivation base, but without being able to properly train his body alongside, he quickly realized that it was going to take a slightly longer time this time around. He was certain it wasn’t going to be within this decade, and he wasn’t even sure if he was going to break through in the next decade.

Still, he cultivated continuously, slowly making his way there. Pearl did the same, and so did Momo.

2 months passed that way, and Alex once again arrived back at the Whole Rose garden where he stood before the plant that he had guessed with his limited knowledge was going to bloom a flower either today or tomorrow.

He had come here with enough time to be allowed to stay, so he could watch through the whole thing.

Alex kept an eye on the amount of energy that was in the plant to know the moment it would bloom. And then, after waiting there for a day and a half, it happened.

The Seven-Colored Angel Rose blossomed.
