Chapter 2089 Dilemma

Chapter 2089 Dilemma

Alex came to a decision the very next day.

In a year's time, he would leave the shop to start cultivating without any distractions. Everything he needed out of this continent and his work, he had already achieved. Everything else he wanted, he could only gain by focusing on his cultivation and breaking through as many realms as he could.

So, he made the announcement to the people who were waiting for him to make pills for them.

For the next year, he would make a total of 360 pills, one each day. The responsibility for bringing the ingredients would be on them, and Alex would only guarantee that their harmony would be over 98%.

This created a craze where people went out of their way to try and get an appointment with Alex to make the best pill that they could. Alex mentioned that he would start in a week's time, so they had plenty of time to prepare.

Silvermist and Grimsight appeared the next day. "Have you made a decision yet?" Silvermist asked as soon as he entered.

"I have not, senior," Alex said.

"What? Why not?" Silvermist asked, rather emotive about his feelings.

"Because it's too big an ask," Alex explained. "I need to make about something that is very important to me."

"Important enough to miss out on the greatest event you'll be taking part in as an Alchemist?" Silvermist asked.

"Yes," Alex said. "Very, very important."

The man paused. "But you're still considering it?" he asked.

Alex nodded. The man thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright, I'll give you some more time. Use it well and give me an answer. If not you, I'll have to find someone else to take with me. I do hope you accept."

If he were to not include Sky God's Palace in his journey, he could go to Medicine World from the Divine Sanctuary realm. In just 2 steps, he could go there.

In just 20 years, he could reach Medicine World. That would give him more than enough time to prepare for the tournament because he knew he wasn't ready yet himself.

There were a few pills he couldn't handle yet, so he needed to be prepared for that. The invincibility pill was one of those.

Alex also knew that he couldn't leave without being a Supreme Alchemist. That was just a matter of pride, and leaving without gaining that title just wouldn't sit well with him.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"What should I do?" he asked himself, hoping someone else would make the decision for him. He wanted to ask Pearl for help, but Pearl was inside the Timeless Palace and wouldn't be out for another month or two.

Whisker was there, so he called him out. He explained Whisker the situation and asked, "What do you think I should do?" Whisker had no answers either. "What do we do if we go to Sky God's Palace and don't find anyone there?" he asked.

"We go looking for them," Alex said. "Wherever they may be."

"So do we skip out on the event?" Whisker asked. "Or do we stop searching to take part in the event?"

Alex grumbled. "I don't know. This event, it is so important though," he said.

Whisker thought for a minute and asked, "If we ignore the possibility that they have already reached the Sky God's Palace, where else could they be?"

"Anywhere," Alex said. "We have no idea."

"Is this Medicine World in that 'anywhere'?" Whisker asked.

"Yes," Alex answered.

"Then... why don't we skip Sky God's palace for now and start searching for them there?"
