Chapter 2257 Whole Rose Garden

Chapter 2257 Whole Rose Garden

The Mistspawn Mountains were snow-capped mountains with vast trees on the lower side. They spanned the diagonal of the entire continent and were the thing that divided the continent into two sections. People from either section, usually the mortals and lower realm cultivators failed to find a way to get to the other side and were usually stuck in one place.

There was a small section among the whole range, a group of 5 mountains in total, which were taller than the rest. They stood tall and high as if reaching for the heavens themselves.

In the flat world of Pillheaven, those mountains could be seen from far and wide, even by the billions upon billions of mortals that lived there. From a long time ago, people believed those few mountains to be the home to something more than just trees and animals.

There was something divine about those mountains, or so the mortals believed. There were sections of the continent where entire religions had started over these mountains, and anyone who didn't know better would pray those 5 mountains.

Those people were few and far between, but even then their influence had reached just far enough that what they called those 5 mountains were now what the world called those 5 mountains. A name separate from the Mistspawn Mountain range. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

They called it, 'The Hand of the God'.

* * * * * * A week passed and Momo's progress shot through the roof. She was now making pills well in the 70s and could make any new pill with at least 40% harmony. Her understanding of alchemy was getting better and better with each passing day.

Alex taught her here and there, but most of it was just Whisker and her own relentless training. She had made so many pills by now, with enough diversity in them, that she understood exactly how she could maximize the outcome of the process.

She trained in controlling fire, keeping the energy contained at all times, and most importantly, she learned the Elemental Guidance technique, which helped her to force energy into the pills once she was done making them.

She trained day and night for it, and if not for Whisker, she might have even hurt herself by overworking herself.

However, that also meant that her cultivation speed took a bit of a hit. In the entire week, she had only broken through one, and she was still far away from reaching the Meridian Tempering realm.

She needed a good pill, and a good few days to do so.

Of course, while Momo's progress was incredible, it was only progress for the practical side of Alchemy. She still didn't have much knowledge about the theoretical side, not to mention she didn't know many of the ingredients or recipes.

There were many people making their way to the Rose Garden, some of whom to Alex's dismay were participants of the tournament, wearing their large medallions. There weren't many. Just a couple of them, but given the closeness of this location with the first place they would come to after teleporting to this continent, Alex couldn't be surprised to see them here.

"You were right master," Momo said, holding her nose. "The scent is so much stronger here. How are people not feeling dizzy from all the strong scent?"

"Do this," Pearl said, showing her how to cover her own nose with Qi to block out most of the scent, letting only some of it pass through.

Momo tried it and got it right after a few tries. "Oh, that's so much better," she said with a sigh of relief. "I don't feel like I'm suffocating anymore."

"There," Alex pointed toward the gate in the distance. "We enter through there."

"Master, you've been here before, right?" she asked. "So you should know where everything is."

"Last time I came here with my Master, we only visited the place briefly. We didn't have anything to get from this place, and we couldn't afford to waste time on anything else. So we toured the place once and left," Alex said.

"Still, things shouldn't have changed, right?" Momo asked.

"No," Alex said. "It should be the same. I only came here like 8 years ago after all."

"8... years..." Momo said with a shocked expression. That was such a long time ago for her. She was just a kid, not even a teenager yet.

"Do we hide while you pay for our entrance, or—"

"No," Alex said. "The fee is cheap, so we can go in without any issue."

"Oh, okay." Both Pearl and Whisker were relieved. They went to the gate where they got onto a line to pay for their turn to enter. When it was their turn to pay, the man took their money and pointed them toward a large sign to the side.

"Read the rules before you enter, or else you will be heavily fined."
