Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

The Healing Festival was going to take place in 45 days. It was much closer than either he or his master had expected it to be.

They were both sure that they had a few months to spare, but it appeared it was just a month and a half away instead. It was better this way anyway.

The Healing Festival, as it turned out, was a festival created to celebrate the Alchemy God. It was simply a festival where alchemists and healers from all around the world gathered in the Great Flower City in the east.

People who had medical issues but could not afford to be healed came over to that place, and people who could do something about it did. It was a festival for the ones who had to give to the ones who didn't.

It was apparently something the first Alchemy God liked doing. He liked giving back to the people who couldn't afford to be cured otherwise.

Alex smiled the way back, thinking about how selfless the Alchemy God was. He liked to think of himself as such, but he knew he wasn't as selfless as him. Maybe he should try to be more so.

He arrived back at the place where they were staying and stopped halfway through the lobby as he saw the young woman with orange hair from before arguing with the older man who appeared to be her servant.

He was surprised to find her in the same place he was in, but that was the extent of what he thought. He ignored her and walked toward the stairs, but as he did, he heard her talk about how much trouble she was in and how she needed that berry however she could find.

The cowardly man next to her said there was nothing they could do as most alchemists liked staying away from the major continents and thus not much could be found here.

'Does she need an antidote pill?' Alex wondered. Since he had just decided to be more giving, he approached the woman.

The young woman and the man stopped talking when they noticed Alex walking toward them. The man stepped in, taller than the young woman, but not as tall as Alex.

Still, his cultivation base in the Immortal Spirit realm radiated from him. He waited until Alex stopped right before them and asked, "Can I help you?"

"Greetings, senior. I couldn't help but overhear about you needing an Emerald Eye Berry. I have a couple with me that I would be happy to give to you."

"Really?" the young woman spoke out loud from behind, her face glowing up.

Alex finally got a good look at her, other than her short stature and her bright orange hair. She had a round face with light freckles around her face. Her eyes were also quite unique with light gray pupils.

Alex brought out the berries —two of them— and nodded. "Here you go."

"Oh my god! I was looking for these for the last two days. I finally found them," she said and took the box with the berries from Alex's hands.

She brought out a few Spirit stones and handed them over to Alex.

Alex looked down at what he got, and… what he got was nearly not enough for half of a single berry, let alone two of it. The man stared at her with eyes of horror, wanting to say something, but the young woman glared at him.

Alex paused for a moment and asked, "Do you desperately need that berry?" "Yes, very desperately," she said.

Alex tried to discern if that was the truth or not. It didn't sound like one, but he had seen her be desperate earlier, so she also could just be very bad at making truth sound like truth.

'Damn, I'm getting ripped off,' he thought. But then, he was in the spirit of giving. Giving two ingredients wouldn't hurt him, and if it helped this young woman even the tiniest bit, he had begun following the Alchemy God's path.

"I hope you make good use of it," Alex said and left, going back to their room.

He relayed what he found to his master, who wasn't as surprised.

"45 days, huh? We should go there during the last 5 days. We can leave for somewhere else tomorrow. Is there anywhere else you want to go?" Silvermist asked.

Alex shook his head. "I don't even know of any locations in this place that are worth visiting," he said. "Are there any locations where I can learn more about the First Alchemy God? Did he leave behind any inheritance or tomb or anything?"

Silvermist shook his head. "I do not believe he left behind anything in this place. Even if he did, I don't think you would find anything here anyway. The Alchemy God, the first one, died nearly 180 thousand years ago. Whatever he may have left, people have found it and taken it away."

"180 thousand years ago…" Alex said softly. It was such a long time ago. "How did he die again? In the war?"

"Yes," Silvermist said. "People found his corpse after the war, floating outside of the Silver Soul realm. Since he died during the war, I do not know if he had the chance to leave anything behind."

"I see," Alex said. He did not voice out loud his knowledge of the matter. It was completely false that the Alchemy God had left nothing behind at all.

That was not true, because Alex had what he had left behind. And one of the things Alex got from what he had left behind was a warning.

'He came for me. Be careful, He'll come for you too.'

There was terror in that voice, a sense of urgency. The Alchemy god was in danger from someone. A man. Who was it that had come for him? Who was it that wanted to kill him?

Godslayer may have been the one too, but Alex wasn't entirely sure. From what he had heard, people had become scared of Godslayer since after the 2nd Alchemy God died, not the first.

Still, someone had attacked, and the Alchemy God was aware of it, aware enough to leave behind a warning. Then… did he perhaps not leave some other things behind as well?

Alex brought out a simple brown-covered book with no text on the front or on the spine. He flipped through it, a physical evidence that the Alchemy God had left something behind. It was the book called Alchemy God's Knowledge.

It was a simple book that explained Alchemy to a beginner, helping them understand even the complex concepts of Alchemy.

But it was no different from a book anyone could buy with a bit of money. What mattered about the book was the Intent put into it, and Alex had accepted that already.

He flipped through it and put it back into his Soul Space.

"The Alchemy God has to have left something behind," Alex thought. "Only one of his three artifacts was found. The other two are still missing. Where are they? There has to be some clue somewhere."

Alex looked forward to seeing if there really was nothing on this island for him to find.
