Chapter 2226 Entering the City

Alex went through the many forests, finding the necessary ingredients. Most of the ingredients he searched for were only Saint or True rank ingredients, so finding them was no issue at all.

Most of the Immortal participants, which were clearly the majority in the competition, had only gone for the Immortal ingredients and occasionally the Saint ingredients. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

So, Alex had more luck finding these ones.

By the time he returned again, it was way past noon, and the sun was beginning to hide behind the tall buildings of the city, casting its dark shadow over everyone.

Alex pulled out Memory and placed it before him and began making a pill right there. That was nothing new for the people that were lined up at this point in time. Unusual, yes, but not new. Others had done the same to make some pills earlier and had made their way into the city because of that.

Alex began making the substitute for the missing ingredient and quickly formed the small pill. Once it was done, he pulled it out and placed it inside a small bottle.

Next, he brought out the other ingredients right in front of everyone and began making the pill again.

A few people were certainly curious to see what he was making, but the majority of them made their way into the city or just left the city without giving them a single look.

Alex did not pay attention to any of the things that were happening outside of the cauldron. He was focused entirely on what was happening inside.

He placed the ingredients inside one after another. For the substitute pill, he burned the powder until nothing but the energy remained before moving on to the other ingredients.

Quickly, he got closer to finishing the pill. When he was at the end, he had Memory absorb a bit of the energy before condensing the pill together. The energy inside the cauldron flowed into the pill, forming it. Once the pill formed, Alex pulled it out.

He took the pill, gave a single look at it, and placed it into his bottle. He stood up. "I have a single Qi Ascending Pill of over 90% Harmony," he shouted out. "I will sell this pill for... 350 Immortal Spirit stones."

Alex hated himself for saying that number, but his body had no choice. It seemed, even if he was the one giving the discount, he couldn't do so. He had to purchase everything at a fair price, and that included Spirit stones.

Still, for a pill that helped cultivators speed up their cultivation while in the Immortal Ascendant realm, he was more than certain someone would purchase it.

He didn't have to sell more than one. If this one thing sold, he would be happy. He waited for a while, looking around at the people.

"It is more than 90%, I assure you," Alex said. "I only have one pill, so only the first person who buys it will receive it."

"Is there a reason?" the young man asked.

Alex shrugged. "I am already part of another one," he said.

"Which one?" the young man asked.

"Silvermist Alchemy court," Alex answered truthfully.

"Silvermist Alchemy Court?" the young man asked, surprised. The name was big enough that he had heard about it. What surprised him more was that it was on another continent entirely.

"What are you doing outside of the Trueflame Continent?" the young man asked. Then, the understanding hit him. "Did you come to take part in the tournament?"

"I did," Alex said.

"And... are you taking part right now?" the young man asked.

Alex didn't answer. "Thank you for the spirit stones, brother. You have been truly helpful. I hope you have a good time."

Alex bowed a little toward the man and went to stay at the back of the line.

The young man remained standing where he was for a while before turning around and going back to where he had walked out. Soon enough, it was his turn to enter, so he went in and left.

Finally, it was Alex's turn as well and he paid the price of 20 Immortal spirit stones to the guards before walking in. They had finally been allowed inside.

"Finally, a hurdle is passed," Alex said. "Yes," Pearl said. "What now? Do we find a place to stay?" Alex had thought about this point for long enough that he didn't need to think anymore at all.

"Momo, you must be hungry right?" he asked.

"I'm not very hungry, master," she answered. "Probably because of my cultivation."

"Even so, you need to eat," Alex said. "Let's go find a place for you to eat. Once you're done, we'll leave this city."

Both Pearl and Momo looked at him at the same time. "Leave? But we just got here."
