Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

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.

"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.

8 White Ascension Flower Petals

5 grams of Jade Immortal Locust Shell

5 eyes of Gale Immortal Rat

9 Emerald Raven's Tail Feathers

15 grams of Seven-Colored Angel Rose's stamen

"Oh… wait a second," the woman said and turned around. She raised her hand up and waited. Alex wondered what she was doing when he suddenly sensed something rushing in their direction.

Before he realized it, a giant rat had arrived in front of them, his head bowed toward the woman.

It was a giant rat with green feathers underneath its arms as if it could help it fly.

Alex looked at the beast and recognized it instantly. It was a Gale Immortal Rat. The woman simply looked at the rat, and the rat turned around, scuttling toward Alex. Alex only then realized that the rat was larger than it seemed at first, coming nearly up to his knees.

It was larger than a house cat. "I hear you require my eyes, is that true?" the rat asked.

"Y-Yes," Alex said quickly. "Would it be alright? I can pay you what you want for it."

"I don't need any payment since she personally requested it from me," the rat said, plucking out its two eyes. It handed the eyes to Alex. "You'll have to wait until my eyes grow back in a few days before you take them again."

Alex took the slimy eyes, shocked at how easily he had received it. "Thank you," he said. "What can I do for you in return?" "No need for anything. I did it to repay a favor," the rat said.

"No, no, I must pay," Alex said. "Will you accept Spirit stones? Or do you want something else?" "You don't have to," Rosemist said from the back. "We're friends, aren't we? This is what friends do."

"That is true, but I am under strict oath to not take anything for free or for discount. I must pay the full value upfront before I take anything. The oath won't let me take these otherwise."

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!"
