Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
chapter-2153

'Wineweed is in this continent as well?' Alex thought. He hadn't seen the man since he arrived. He had left the teleportation formation a lot before Alex and the others. He wasn't even sure if they had gone to their city directly or not. He hadn't seen them along the way.

Silvermist got overly angry when talking about Wineweed, so Alex decided to not bring up that topic again.

They walked out of the teleportation formation and immediately got onto a carriage that had been prepared for them. Alex wasn't even sure when it had been called, but it was here.

He watched the city move by through the window, looking at the many shops that were around the place. Weirdly, there were a lot fewer Alchemy stores than he had expected there to be.

Instead, he saw many other stores such as artifact stores, formation stores, talisman stores, puppet stores, and all sorts of other stores. Compared to those stores, the number of Alchemy stores was pitiful.

"Is the Medicine World not supposed to be a central hub for Alchemy in the Immortal realms?" Alex asked. "Why are there so few Alchemy stores?"

"What does it mean when there are fewer beasts in the jungle than usual?" Grimsight asked from the side.

Alex looked away from the window and toward the one-eyed man. The answer came immediately to him.

"There is an apex predator there and they want nothing to do with it," he said, turning to look toward his master. "Is your store forcing all other stores to shut down, master?"

"Of course," Silvermist said. "Who dares open a shop in my city? They would have to be stupid to do so."

Alex nodded. "And what about all of these other stores? There are a little more than usual, aren't there?" he asked.

"The Medicine World is a place for all Alchemists to learn and grow, and thus it is the best place for Alchemy," Silvermist said. "However that is not the only thing it is good at. Seeing as Alchemists gathered here, the people of other professions gathered here as well."

"Medicine World is now more than just a place for Alchemy. It is now also a place for all other professions. Of course, Alchemy is still the greatest thing to come out of here."

Alex nodded, somewhat surprised about the situation. He hadn't expected the other professions to flourish here as much as Alchemy did.

He watched the buildings go by and soon there were no more. Instead, it was open land that went uphill as they all made their way up a mountain. They made their way through a ton of people who were walking uphill as well, going to where Alex had no doubt was Silvermist's store.

They arrived at the peak a while later and they got off one by one.

When Alex got off, he could immediately smell a mixture of sweet aromas in the air that wafted toward him from what lay before him. Alex searched for the source of the smell but was instead met with a white haze that surrounded the area.

The mist was thin enough that he could see what lay at the end of it.

A massive towering building rose on the mountain itself, rising hundreds of meters into the sky. It was a triangular building, made up of gold and emerald-colored stones, with not a single window in sight.

It looked no different than a man-made mountain on top of the mountain itself. He looked at the building and then at the mist before him.

"This is my Alchemy Court," Silvermist said. "What do you think?"

"It… is incredible, master," Alex said. It was rare that he was left speechless by something man-made. This was the first in a long while to do so.

"Come, let's go inside."

They walked past the guards who quickly bowed toward Silvermist and relayed the message of his arrival. Very soon, tons of staff and alchemists were gathered at the base of the building, ready to welcome them back.

Alex sensed Divine realm cultivators left and right, their cultivation base alien to him. And to his surprise, every single one of them bowed to his master.

Alex knew his master was a big shot, but seeing it all for real brought the understanding to reality.

"Don't get too far away from me," Silvermist said softly. "No one can see you right now."

Alex was surprised. Was this because of the troubles that would come for him from being his disciple?

A woman stood at the front, a Divinity wearing a silver robe with a green and gold pattern all around it. She appeared to be no older than in her late 30s. "Senior brother, welcome back," she said.

"Nurei, how has the court been doing while we were gone?" Silvermist asked.

"The same as everyone else's," the woman said. She turned toward Grimsight and bowed respectfully. Grimsight simply gave a simple nod.

"Snowleaf, how was your journey to the tomb?" she asked.

"It was enlightening, senior," Snowleaf said.

Alex realized that the woman was a senior to Snowleaf too at that point. He wondered who she was exactly.

"Here, Nurei. This is my disciple," Silvermist said, pulling Alex forward. Alex then noticed that the woman could see him. He was no longer hidden, at least from her.

"Greetings, senior Nurei. I am Dawnblade," Alex said, bowing in respect.

The woman looked at Alex for a good few seconds before turning to look at Silvermist. "Is this a joke?" she asked. "Where is your real disciple?

Silvermist shook his head. "This is no joke, Nurei. Don't underestimate my disciple just based on his cultivation base," he said. The woman frowned for a bit and turned toward Grimsight, seeking to see if it was all legit or not. Grimsight nodded and that told her that Alex was indeed the choice they had gone with.

The woman sighed. "I hope you know what you are doing, senior brother. We do not have the time to go search for someone else should this end in a failure," she said.

"Hahaha!" Silvermist laughed out loud. "Do not worry, Nurei. My disciple will surprise you too. Snowleaf, take him to my mountain. I will come over once I'm done dealing with whatever needs to be dealt with."

"As you say, senior brother," Snowleaf said and took Alex, walking away with him.

Alex immediately heard his master begin talking to the crowd that had gathered, catching their attention, and maybe taking it away from him.

They walked into the building and Alex saw how truly amazing it was. The outside looked extravagant, but the inside was even more so. Colors of all sorts hung around the tall ceiling, the thin silver mist giving everything an ethereal feel to it. Even random noise felt surreal in this place.

"Come on," Snowleaf said. "We need to leave before others come asking questions."

Alex nodded, following the man while watching the surroundings as well. The smell was thicker around this place, immediately giving him ideas about the thousands of different pills that were made here on a daily basis.

He walked through the building and came out at the back of it. Once he emerged from the building, he got to see the rest of it.

It was all stunning, to say the least.
