Chapter 2230 Great Fog Valley

Chapter 2230 Great Fog Valley

It was true that Alex was neglecting a major part of what it meant to be a master. He needed to stay and teach his disciple, set a significant portion of his life to depart his knowledge onto her. But, he couldn't do it. He didn't have the luxury.

"I'm sorry, but I need to focus on the pill I am supposed to make more than I can on teaching you for now," Alex said.

His words caused Momo to feel even more dejected. "I... I understand, master."

Alex could see that she didn't like it, but he couldn't help it. He sighed and patted her head a little. "Don't worry, even though I will be gone for long. I will have someone coming very soon to teach you about everything else. He is one of the best teachers around besides me."

"Oh!" Momo looked up to meet his eyes. "Who?"

"It's a secret for now, but he's coming very soon," Alex said. He got up. "For now, you focus on those three techniques and cultivation. And don't push yourself too hard."

He turned to look at Pearl. "Don't let her make any mistakes, Pearl."

"Don't worry, brother. I'll take good care of her. You focus on finding those ingredients."

Alex nodded. "Here's a few spirit stones. Get what she needs, if she needs anything. She has the rest."

Pearl nodded and Momo waved her hand in goodbye.

Alex walked away, placing the vial of blood into his Soul Space. It did not record what he put into it. He sent the vial directly into the Playground where the playground spirit took a look at it.

Alex wasn't expecting anything great, but the Playground spirit surprised him.

"Master, there is something within this blood that matches with something within my database. I will need a few moments to make sure that I am correct."

"Okay," Alex said, curious what it was he was going to find. He made his way out of the city, making sure to learn what 'rule' this city had.

'Great Fog Valley,' Alex thought, looking at the place before him.

Alex could see a steady stream of people going in and out of the fog. There weren't many people around here, but there were enough for him to worry if all the ingredients had already been taken away.

He knew that most outsiders had been banned from stripping a free forest or alchemy gardens of its natural resources, so there had to be many ingredients. But given how many had come over in the last 5 days, he worried more than a few had already collected a majority of the ingredients.

Alex got down to the mountain right before the fog and looked through it. For some reason, the fog seemed an excellent spot to hide. He couldn't understand why, but his spiritual senses were being disrupted by the fog.

There was something in the fog that made it hard for him to spread his Spiritual energy thin.

'Well, I can't waste my time here,' Alex thought and jumped down into the fog.

The moment Alex touched the fog, he realized that the entire fog was made up of tiny droplets of spirit water, suspended in the air. It was this water that was causing his spiritual sense to get disrupted. It was no different from being put into a room with thousands of different lanterns flickering all around him. The light wasn't dangerous, but it sure as hell was distracting.

And if the room was bigger, the distraction became bigger too. So the further he spread his spiritual sense, the more it felt unstable, even though there was nothing wrong with it.

'I will just have to get used to this place,' Alex thought and walked into the fog. He had to get closer to the plants to make sure he found the ingredients.

He also couldn't rely on his eyes as much since the entire world was filled with color if he did so. So all he could do was get close and find the ingredients with his spiritual sense.

Alex found a few ingredients within just the first 10 minutes. A few Willoweed branches, some Horsetail Fern, a Jade Soul flower, a few Exalted Spirit buds, and some more. He had to walk around a lot more, but compared to the mountains outside of the Hollowvine City, this was so much better. He was actually finding ingredients.

Alex searched for some more and came across a bunch more. He walked down the mountain, going deeper into the fog, searching for him.

As he went through it, he stopped as he noticed something he had been looking for. A bright, metallic-yellow 4-petaled flower known as Golden Mind Chrysanthemum.

He needed 10 petals of this flower to make the pill for the competition.

Alex plucked the flower and placed it into his storage bag before moving on.
