Pearl stood behind a counter, waiting for the next person in line.
"I would like to purchase these pills, please," the older woman in a much higher realm than him said.
Pearl took the talisman and looked through the list. There were a bunch of names, ones which he had somewhat gotten familiar with. Even if he didn't know everything, he at least recognized the names and what they were supposed to do. He still had to check the records for the rest.
"400 of Silk Fisher pill, 320 Sundering Heart pill, 200 Crimson Raven pill, and 180 Perfect Ivy pill. Would that be all?" he asked.
"Yes," the old woman nodded.
Pearl nodded as well and checked the system. "For pills above 90%, it will cost you 920 thousand Immortal Spirit stones, or 92 Divine Spirit stones. Do you have the ingredients ready or would you like for the court to arrange them for you?"
"Please have them arranged yourself," the woman asked.
"As you wish," Pearl said, quickly checking through the records to see if there were enough ingredients to make the pills. Once he confirmed that there were, he told the woman. "With the ingredients, it will cost you 1.4 Million Immortal Spirit stones, or 140 Divine spirit stones. Since you didn't bring your own ingredients, we must ask you to pay at least 25% of the total sum in advance."
"Ah, no worries," the woman said, pulling out a full 140 Divine spirit stones. "I am ready to pay it all right now."
Pearl took the spirit stones and placed them on top of a formation on the table, from where it disappeared immediately. It was gone and the transaction was successful."Please keep this with you at all times. When your pills are ready, you will be notified through it," Pearl said, handing her a talisman.
The old woman took the talisman and left.
Pearl watched the woman leave, surprised at himself for being able to hide the amount of shock he felt. 140 Divine Spirit stones. He was certain even his brother hadn't seen such a thing before.
The amount of spirit stones was mind-blowing to him, and best of all, because he had done the transaction, he would receive two-thousandth of that earning. Meaning, he had essentially earned 2800 Immortal spirit stones just like that.
It was incredible the level of transactions that took place in the alchemy court.
The woman that he had just helped wasn't that rare a customer either. People like her came from all over the place. There were hundreds of sects and families in the Trueflame continent, who came here specifically to purchase pills from the court.
The Silvermist court had a rather incredible reputation when it came to the quality of the pills, so because of that, people from far and wide came here just for the pills. Pearl had even heard that people from other worlds came here just to purchase their pills.
During those cases, they bought thousands and thousands of pills at once, enough to last them for centuries. The Medicine World was truly the major hub of the entire world when it came to pills. No other Immortal realm had alchemists as talented as the Medicine World.
There were 5 different Prime Alchemists right in the Silvermist court when there weren't even that many in the entirety of the Myriad Spirit realm. The level of alchemy in this world was just at a different level.
Pearl wasn't sure how long it would take his brother to get on par with these people. He trusted Alex enough to know it would not take too long, but still, it wasn't every day that he got to see people who were better than him.
A customer moved forward and Pearl was about to greet him when he heard someone call him out. "Brother Whitepearl, I can take over now."
Pearl turned to the side and gave a delighted smile. "Thank you for replacing me, sister."
"You don't have to thank me every time. I'm just doing my job," the woman said, finding herself unable to stop herself from smiling after seeing Pearl's smile. She began interacting with the customer immediately, and Pearl walked away.
He took off his medallion that denoted he was a member of the court and placed it into his Soul Space. Then, he made his way to the back of the court where Grimsight had been waiting for him.
"Senior!" Pearl quickly greeted the man.
"Come, I have an opponent prepared for you. He has agreed to fight you seriously, so you should get ready," Grimsight said.
Pearl's eyes widened slightly. "Finally," he said. "How did you convince them to do so?"
"They recognize your strength now is all. Previously, they thought you were someone weak who they had to hold back against, but you've proved that if nothing, you can live through their attacks. So today, your opponent is going to fight you for real."
Pearl arrived at the training hall with a few disciples from the sect already training against each other. The training hall was massive, set inside of the mountain itself, filled to the brim with all sorts of formations.
Despite the disciples' learning alchemy, there was a training hall for them to train how to fight as well. The realm of cultivators was one of peril and hardship. No one believed that they could go through it while being just an Alchemist. They needed some training in combat as well.
Upon Grimsight and Pearl's arrival in the training hall, everyone who had been training stopped and moved to the side, making way.
A single youth at the end of the hall turned around and walked toward them. "Senior!" he greeted Grimsight before turning to Pearl. "Are you ready to fight?"
Pearl was a little taken aback. He had fought this young man before and knew that this young man was a Spear user as well. Did that mean that for his first serious battle, he was to fight another Spear user?
That was not a bad thing, he supposed.
"I look forward to the battle, senior brother," Pearl said and pulled out his spear. His spear was still the same Rosesteel Spear Alex had bought for him back in the Myriad Spirit realm. He had wanted to use his father's spear, but Alex hadn't had the time to fix it for him, and he himself did not know at the moment if he wanted it fixed right away or not.
That had been his intention at first, but after realizing the fact that his father's spear had been broken despite its quality, he needed to make sure that he knew for certain that the spear wouldn't break once he fixed it.
Once he had that confirmed for him, he would immediately have the spear remade.
He held his spear pointed forward in a low stance, while the man before him brought out his metallic silver spear.
They both took deep breaths preparing for the battle to commence.
Grimsight looked at the both of them and made sure they were ready for it. Once he confirmed that they were, he wasted no more time. "Fight to your heart's content. I will deal with the rest. Start!"
