Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2135  FireStar

Alex had always wanted to go to the space and be there for some time. But, because of circumstances, he never had the time to go out for real.

Now that he had an opportunity, he took it. He was going to go fly off to space… in a few days.

For now, Alex went along with his master and the rest to visit an Alchemist in another part of the world. They teleported to someplace far away and made their way to a large Alchemy store by the name of Firestar Alchemy Store.

Alex looked around the place he had come to, surprised how it didn't feel any different from the Immortal realm he had been to before. Everything seemed to be influenced by the same culture and the same traditions.

It was only in isolation, like the place he was born in, that humanity differed so much.

Silvermist seemed to have announced his arrival before he even came as someone was already out to welcome him. "Brother Silvermist, I did not expect to see you so soon again," a woman with darker skin and fire-red hair said as she stood a head shorter than Silvermist, wearing a soft green robe.

"Sister Firestar, I am glad to see that you haven't gone into closed cultivation. I'm in luck," Silvermist said.

Firestar said. "I… wouldn't say you are in luck," she said. As she said that, both Silvermist and Grimsight's faces changed suddenly.

Alex didn't know what had happened, but he heard footsteps coming from inside the store. A man finally walked out, with a bald head, fashioning a thick mustache.

A long scar went from his left ear, across the side of his forehead. A smile remained on his lips that clearly felt mocking to anyone looking at it.

Silvermist grumbled. "Wineweed."

"Silvermist."

The two didn't say a single word besides each other's names and simply stared at each other.

Alex remembered the name of the old man. It was the same person Snowleaf had mentioned back then who had stolen his would-be disciple right from under him.

Firestar looked at the two and sighed. "If you two start fighting here, I will kick the both of you out."

"No, I won't fight. You do not need to worry about that, sister Firestar," Wineweed said. "Hmph! What need have I to fight someone worse than me? That will just tarnish my reputation," Silvermist said.

"It most certainly would," Winewood said, "if you had any."

Grimsight sighed and sent a message to Alex. "Ignore these two. They are like cat and mouse when they see each other. Don't let their rivalry affect your impression of the man before you. He is a bonafide Peerless Divine Alchemist."

Alex nodded ever so softly at the message. He wondered why it was that they were so angry at each other.

Winewood stopped speaking and looked toward Alex. "Ho… so you found someone too? Is this young man meant to be your champion?" he asked, sending his senses around Alex. "Of course, only you would choose someone so weak."

"And only you would think an Alchemist's talent lies in their cultivation base," Silvermist answered.

Firestar rolled her eyes and looked at the other three. "Come on in. I have a place prepared for you all."

Snowleaf walked up. "I'm glad to be able to meet you again, senior," he said.

Firestar smiled. "How was the tomb?" she asked.

"So so," he answered and continued walking on.

"Thank you for letting us stay here," Grimsight said and bowed slightly.

Firestar bowed deeper. "You can rely on me anytime, senior," she said.

Alex walked up and greeted her. "I am Dawnblade, a disciple of my master Silvermist. It is a pleasure to meet you, senior."

Firestar smiled. "It hasn't been that long since you became an Immortal, huh? You must have something special for Brother Silvermist to have chosen you as his champion."

Alex gave a small smile in response.

"Oh! Sister Firestar. Can you help my disciple with something?" Silvermist asked.

"What does he need my help with?" Firestar asked.

Silvermist looked toward Alex. "Tell her what you need to do. She has great connections with people in high places. She can make things happen."

Alex's eyes widened slightly. He realized what his master was talking about.

"Senior, I would be eternally indebted if you could help me find a few people," he said. "Or at least see if they are here or not."

"Find people? I have connections, but not that good of a connection," Firestar said. "I'm sure a seer will be of more aid to you than me."

"No, no," Silvermist walked up. "He's trying to find his family who ascended before him. He wants to know if they ended up in this world or not."

The woman frowned a bit. "How long ago was that precisely?" she asked.

"No more than a century ago," Alex answered.

"Oh, if it's just a century then it should be done," the woman said and immediately frowned. "A century?" Alex nodded.

"But they left before you," she said.

Alex grimaced a little and nodded. The woman had figured out that he had been an Immortal for less than a century. The speed of his cultivation base could not be hidden from her anymore.

Silvermist instead smiled proudly. "How's my disciple? Great, isn't he?" he asked.

"If what I'm assuming is true, then it would be better to call him a monster," she said and turned toward Alex. "Give me what information you can about them. I'll see if anyone has ascended here with that description in the past 100 years."

Alex thanked the woman.

He gave the description, but nothing substantial. The problem here was that anything with clear descriptions could unfortunately have people come looking for him instead, who most likely wouldn't have good intentions toward him.

He was especially worried about the people who were looking for Senior Yang. He had no idea what sort of people they would be, but they would certainly be scary.

If those people found out he was looking for him or a group that had been here with them before, he would be in all sorts of trouble.

For now, he would wait to learn about those who had come from the 3rd Major Spirit World.

Once Alex gave the information, Silvermist pushed him aside and asked the woman, "Why is he here?" "He came here 5 years ago from the Silver Soul realm. He is on his way back from the tomb. The question is, brother Silvermist, why are you here? Weren't you going to directly return to Medicine World once you found your disciple?"

Silvermist grumbled. "You saw what he's making you do. He barely agreed because I promised to help him search for his family here and in the Medicine world. Once the tournament is over, he's going to go elsewhere to search for them if they aren't in those two worlds."

Firestar couldn't help but smile at Alex. "I respect anyone who deeply cares for their family," she said. "I will do my best to find the information you are searching for as soon as I can," she said. "For now, you should go and rest. Your rooms are ready."
