Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2161

Chapter 2161 An Educated Guess

Alex questioned the two regarding the Inheritance and what it was. "I can't tell you for certain that I know what the inheritance is," Silvermist said. "It may be something useful, or it may be something entirely useless because I can give it to you. The only thing I can say for certain is there are the various treasures he would've gathered during his time alive. The rest, you will have to go and gain the inheritance to find out."

"We came here for you to make that decision," Grimsight said from the side. "Do you want to take the Inheritance?" If Alex was to be fair, he couldn't see how useful the inheritance could be at all. Even if it was useful, could it be useful for the tournament? Could he not wait until afterward?

"How many years had this place stood? Has no one found the inheritance yet?" Alex asked.

"No," Silvermist answered. "From what I know, people get simply rejected for no reason at all. Many have gotten close but have failed in the end. From what I hear, it does take quite some time. People have stayed for as long as 10 years inside without finding anything in the end."

Alex grimaced. "We don't have that sort of time, do we?" he asked.

Silvermist smiled. "No, we don't," he said.

"So coming here was a waste of time?" Alex asked.

"No, not entirely," Silvermist said. "Come, I'll take you to see Wineweed's guild. We'll just be watching from outside though. I'm not gonna enter that bastard's guild."

Alex gave an awkward smile and made his way to the guild.

The guild was less extravagant than Alex would've thought it would be. It was a simple building, set up on a large open land. People walked in and out of the place at a steady pace, showing just how busy this place was.

Alex saw Divinities go in and out constantly as well, letting him know just how they viewed this place.

They were about to return when Alex sensed someone's sense land on him directly instead of just passing through. He followed the sense and saw the person standing far away.

With bright red hair flowing in the wind, Aethersage, Wineweed's disciple was staring directly in their direction. He stood outside of the guild, his confused eyes focused on Alex.

Once Alex turned around, his face finally changed.

"Oh, brother Dawnblade!" he shouted from across the road and quickly crossed it to come toward him. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Alex gave a small smile. "Brother Aethersage," he called out. "It's great to see you."

"I don't know," Grimsight said, frowning more than Silvermist. "I see nothing unique about his body or his Qi. Maybe it really was an educated guess."

"Hard to believe that," Silvermist said. Alex thought for a moment too, surprised how the young man had recognized them so easily. But since he had no clue how the young man could have done that, he didn't think for much longer.

After a while, they left Wineweed City, making their way toward another part of the continent. One after another, they visited the rest of the locations that Silvermist thought were pertinent for Alex to visit.

Months passed and soon those months turned into years. Before Alex knew it, it had been 3 years since he began traveling the entire Trueflame continent. Only now did he finish traveling all the locations and was ready to return?

"Master, I'm not sure we can afford to travel like this all the time. 3 years spent traveling just one continent is too much time spent on traveling. Shouldn't I prepare for the tournament?"

"You will," Silvermist said. "Also, you won't be traveling the other locations like this. They will take less duration since I myself haven't traveled around them as much as I have this continent."

Alex nodded. "But we will still be visiting them all?" he asked.

"Yes. We have to," Silvermist said. "I am very certain that it will be important in the tournament. I'm not sure how just yet, but it will be."

There was nothing else Alex could say. He could only trust in his master's judgment.

They returned to Silvermist City, back to Silvermist Court. As soon as they returned, Pearl was placed right back at work, while Alex was taken directly to the mansion where he began training again.

"Do I continue making pills in multiple cauldrons, master?" Alex asked.

"No," Silvermist said. "This time, let's have you do something a little different."

Alex waited for his master to continue.

"Have you ever made two pills in a single cauldron before?" Silvermist asked.

Alex raised an eyebrow. "I have, master," he said. "Do I practice that?" "You have? That makes things easier," Silvermist said. "Then you must be aware of the differences in the recipe when you try to increase the amount of ingredients."

"Yes. I need to change manage my heat more evenly," Alex said. "I have the True Fire dao, so it's easy."

"Great," Silvermist said. "Then you have one single task now. Make as many same pills as you can in a single cauldron."
