Chapter 2265 Gale
The group carried along, walking past the point of the fog, and up into the area where snow began showing up. Along the way, Alex explained what he was doing in the Pillheaven continent and what his future plans were.
"You have to make a single pill to pass the competition?" the Rosemist asked.
"Yes," Alex said.
"It's weird that they're asking all of this for just a single pill," she said.
"I think the test is more so to judge our ability to gather ingredients rather than the pill itself," Alex explained. "Most alchemy contests or tests I've been to in the past had people try and recognize ingredients that are already there. This one, since they are trying to find the greatest upcoming Alchemists, they are going all out and forcing them to find the ingredients instead."
"Huh..." the man at the back said. "That's a fun idea. And this little girl is part of your tournament too?"
"Yes, I became her master on the day of the competition over a month ago," Alex said. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Will you stop teaching her once the competition is over?" the man asked.
"Of course not," Alex said quickly. "I called her my disciple, so she is my disciple for life. Whatever I learn, I will teach everything to her."
He looked back at Momo to give her a feeling of confidence, but Momo seemed too stunned by the situation to hear anything he had said. It wasn't just her either, even Pearl and Whisker were acting weird toward her.
"The young girl has a fascinating constitution too," Rosemist said. "But it's still quite weak, isn't it?"
Alex was fascinated by the way the woman just knew things. Things that were supposed to be hidden deep inside someone were something she just knew. He was curious how she knew all of that, and if it had something to do with being more than a regular spirit. "And you are still searching for the ingredients to your first pill, right?" the woman asked.
"Yes," Alex said.
"What ingredients?" the woman asked. "Well, let's see," Alex said and listed out the names.
The rat seemed confused and turned toward Rosemist for assistance.
Rosemist thought for a bit. "You are an alchemist, so you must have some pills. Pay him with pills and he will be happy."
Alex nodded. "I can do that," he said. He pulled out a small bottle and handed it to the rat. "For your troubles. I will return for the rest of the eyes in a few days."
The eyeless rat took the bottle and looked inside it to see what he had received. He did not know what sort of pills he had received. He was no alchemist. But even so, he could tell the quality of the pills he had gotten and that shocked him to his core.
"This... this is amazing," he said. "What is this?"
"Pills to help with your cultivation," Alex said. "It will help you cultivate really quickly."
The man named Little Lin walked to the front and the rat quickly handed over the bottle without the man even having to ask for it. The man opened the bottle and saw 3 pills inside.
All of them had pill veins.
"You undersold yourself by saying you were just an alchemist," the man said.
"I am indeed just an Alchemist," Alex said.
"You didn't mention you were a Prime Alchemist," the man said.
"Oh... I haven't taken the test for it, so I do not believe I can call myself one just yet," Alex said. "That is not to say I have any doubt that I will pass should I take it."
"A Prime Alchemist?" Rosemist asked, fascinated. "What does that mean, Little Lin?"
"It means that he is so talented that he can call the Pill Clouds much more often than most other alchemists," the man said. "It is something incredibly difficult to do even for Divine realm cultivators and it is something he is doing while just in the Immortal realm. Immortal Ascendant realm at that."
"Oh..." Rosemist said with an awed expression. "That is to say I have made friends with someone talented? Yay!"
