Chapter 2155 Court

"You want to stop making pills?" Nurei put on an angry look as she asked.

"Yes, until the tournament is over," Silvermist said. "I don't want to be distracted while teaching my disciple."

"How much of a distraction will making a few pills a day even be?" Nurei asked. "You are just making excuses to get out of work."

"I am not," Silvermist said, appalled at the suggestion.

The woman rolled her eyes. "We have 200 different commissions for you, half of them paid in advance. You need to get started on it as soon as possible," she said. "You can teach your disciple a few things, and take some time away to make pills while he is training." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"No. I need to be with him at all times," Silvermist said.

"Stop being such a baby and just do your work," Nurei said. "If not..."

"If not what?" Silvermist asked, daring her.

"I will go work for senior Wineweed," Nurei said.

Silvermist gasped in shock. "You wouldn't," he said.

"I work for people that work," Nurei said. "If you want me to keep your court running, do your damn work."

Silvermist grumbled. "Fine! I'll do it, dammit," he said. "Never bring up that bastard's name again."

"Just do your work," Nurei said with a sigh.

Grimsight stood to the side, hiding his laughter regarding the whole situation. As Silvermist began to walk away, he too stood up to leave.

"Oh right," Silvermist stopped. "Find someone to become my disciple's assistant in the court. I can't have my disciple go around the court, so he needs someone to bring ingredients for him."

Nurei sighed. "I hope this is all worth it, senior brother. I honestly don't even know why you are doing this in the first place. Isn't being a Peerless Alchemist already enough?"

"Not yet," Silvermist said. "I feel like I have reached the pinnacle, but I have yet to learn the Dao of Alchemy still. There has to be much more that I do not know about. So much more I need to learn still. The only one who can possibly tell me that is the Alchemy God. I need this chance."

Nurei did not argue on that matter. "If that is so, then so be it."

"Is that the case with all courts or just this one?" Alex asked.

"All courts I know are like this," Silvermist answered. He looked around for a moment and said, "Do you need to rest? Or we can immediately go into making pills."

"I don't need to rest," Alex said. "If I'm not going to be allowed to leave this building for a while, then I might as well start cultivating and training."

"Great!" Silvermist said. "Let's go start right away. We've wasted enough time. We only have half a century to get you to the required level."

Alex nodded and stood up. "Oh, one moment, master." He made a small gesture and Pearl appeared outside, looking around at everyone. He immediately greeted the two and was surprised by where they were.

"We've arrived, brother?" Pearl asked.

"Yes," Alex said. "I'm going to go train with master now. You should go train with Senior Grimsight."

"Of course," Pearl said and turned toward Grimsight. "When do you continue our training, senior."

"There's no hurry," Grimsight said. "Let's see how you fare against others. Come, there are many you can train against before I teach you what you're lacking."

"Yes, senior."

Pearl left the room and then left the building, while Alex made his way with his master to one of the rooms in the mansion.

Silvermist pointed to one room along the way. "This will be where you will stay."

The room was large, with a soft bed, a lavish couch, dozens of lanterns burning high in the ceiling, and many other furniture that was of little use to a cultivator.

"There is no place to make pills here though, so you will have to do that in another room," Silvermist said.

Alex was confused. "There is enough space there though," he said.

"Yeah, but there are no formations set up for alchemy here," Silvermist said. "It can be good for training in some cases, but it's not worth it at all times to make your pills worse for training."

"Oh, that's fine with me. I don't use formations anyway," Alex said. "Most alchemists rely a lot on formations, huh?"

He only ever used formations when it was available for him, and even then it was mostly for ease rather than actual help. It could be of great help, but he had never really needed it.

Silvermist turned around, confused and frowning. "You don't use formations when making pills?"
