Chapter 2154 10 Stars

The view before Alex was a cascade of mountains, each tall and broad, one after another. There were so many of them that he couldn't see all of them.

There were 2 distinct mountains that had buildings on them, both of which stood side by side at the center. Surrounding them were the rest of the mountains that were nothing but filled with greenery.

Even from here, Alex could tell every single one of the rest of the mountains was an Alchemy garden.

The sweet aroma he smelled in the air came from these mountains. "Amazing," Alex couldn't help but say. "There are so many alchemy gardens."

"Of course," Snowleaf said. "We grow most of our own ingredients here. You'll learn more with time. Come, let's get you settled before others realize you are here."

Alex nodded and walked along with Snowleaf, making his way down the current mountain to arrive at not either of the two mountains he had seen from his vantage point, but instead the mountain behind it. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

From what Alex could see, he had assumed it was an Alchemy garden as well, but when he arrived, he noticed there were buildings at the bases, which let him know that it was more than just that.

"These mountains are for our alchemists, staffs, and disciples," Snowleaf said, referring to the two mountains. One of them was for Alchemists and staff, while the other one was for the disciples.

"I stay there as well," Snowleaf mentioned. "And this one is entirely just for senior brother and senior Grimsight."

"Oh," Alex said in surprise. "Only master lives here?"

"Yes," Snowleaf said. "And I suppose you do too now."

"What about senior Nurei? She seemed important," Alex said.

"She is important. She is one of our greatest alchemists in the court. Not only that, she is also the main handler of all the tasks and alchemists. She pretty much runs the entire place. As good as your master is, you gotta understand, he's... not very good when it comes to running a business."

"I can see that," Alex said.

Snowleaf pointed at a painting of a man to the left. "This person did. Your master came second."

Alex looked at the man who had won. He looked simple, as though an everyday man. "What's his name?" he asked.

"Rin... something? I'm sure I've heard it before, but he died so long ago that you will have to ask your master," Snowleaf said. "He was remembered by his title more than his name anyway."

"His title? Which was..."

"The Alchemy God."

Alex's eyes widened, turning back to look at the painting. "The first alchemy god?" he asked.

"No. He was the third Alchemy god. At the time when that competition had taken place, the first Alchemy God was still alive, I believe. This person went on to become the next one not long after."

Alex stopped to think for a moment. If the man had become an Alchemy god not long after, then the first Alchemy God had to have died around that time as well.

"Do you know when this competition took place?" Alex asked. "Less than 200 thousand years ago," Snowleaf said, his eyes narrowed in thought to see if he could come up with a better answer. "I only know your master was one of the younger ones in the competition at around 40 thousand years old, so it was around that time."

'So the first Alchemy God died sometime after that?' Alex thought, looking back at the man. "Godslayer must've killed this one.'

"This man is dead, right? Does that mean Master is now the best Alchemist? Not counting the current Alchemy god," Alex asked.

Snowleaf chuckled. "Your master may have ended up in 2nd place, but he was not the only one," Snowleaf said.

"Not the only one? There was ano— senior Wineweed?" Alex asked.

Snowleaf nodded. "There's a reason why those two have such a deep-rooted rivalry. They both got the second place, leaving the third place empty. They both claim the other one deserves it, but since the tournament was so long ago, no one really remembers it anymore. Only those two remember."

Alex nodded. "What about these other ones? Are they all still alive or...?"

"Senior Goldgrass is an Alchemist over at Pillheaven continent, Senior Pinkflower has a court in Medicine Continent. Senior Mo Duguan is over at Threeflower continent, and Reverend Lakelily is under the Alchemy God in God's Domain. I do not know what is up with the last two. They are either dead or have left the Medicine World."
