When the maelstrom disappeared, Alex found himself standing atop a large obsidian platform with many other people around him. He looked around, realizing that it was morning time. The chill in the air from the night hadn’t gone yet but the sun had risen in the sky.

Alex immediately knew where East was.

“Welcome to Medicine World,” Silvermist said from the side. He slapped him lightly on his shoulders. “This place will be your home for the next hundred years, or however long the competition lasts.”

He had finally come here. The birthplace of the Alchemy God.

Alex softly nodded and looked around, trying to get used to this new world he had come to. The Qi here was quite strong. It was much stronger than back in the Blue Silk continent.

“Is this the Threeflower continent?” Alex asked. He had been provided a map of this world before he had come here, so he knew the names at least.

The Threeflower Continent lay toward the center of the Medicine World, surrounded by the other continents, which made it the perfect place to have the receiving formation placed.

They stepped off the formation, walking down onto the marble-clad walkway, that led them outside. Alex only now realized that he was actually in a city. Both of the other times he had teleported to an Immortal realm, he had arrived at a rather obscure region.

“Where are we headed next?” Alex asked. “The Trueflame continent?”

“Soon,” Silvermist said. “Since we are here, let us just deal with your issue first, then we can entirely focus on your cultivation and training.”

“Thank you, master.”

Alex walked with Silvermist until they met up with someone who seemed to be in charge of training the ascended Immortals, just like Alex had been when he had first arrived at the place.

The woman who saw Silvermist immediately showed a look of shock and bowed down. “Alchemist Silvermist, you have returned,” she said, looking to the side at Alex. She seemed to want to say something but was out of place to speak here.

“I need to ask you something. In the past 100 years, has anyone ascended here from the 3rd Major Spirit realm?” Silvermist asked.

The woman’s eyes narrowed. “You too, senior?” she asked.

Silvermist frowned. “What do you mean? Who else is asking?” he asked.

The woman realized she spoke out of turn. “Others have had similar requests as well. But they have stopped asking. I was just surprised that you chose to ask the same as well.”

“Like who?” Silvermist asked.

“I’m sorry, senior, but I cannot say,” the woman said.

Alex frowned upon hearing that. If others were searching for something similar, then that meant there were people here who were looking for Senior Yang.

He wondered why there was no one in the Myriad Spirit realm to check up on him. He had been allowed to move on so easily. ‘Maybe they stopped asking also?’

There were only two reasons why they would choose to give up on the search. Either Senior Yang and his family had been found by them, or they had arrived at the Sky God’s Palace safely, at which point everyone realized that there was no need to search for one.

Either possibility could be true, but Alex chose to believe the better one for his own peace.

“No one has arrived here from the 3rd Major Spirit realm yet,” the woman said. “It is believed that no one ever will from that place, what with the mixing of talent and all.”

“My disciple is from that realm, and there have been another one that arrived at Eclipsing Heaven. They are coming,” Silvermist said and turned toward Alex. “That’s enough, right?”

Alex nodded. “That is enough.”

“Thank you for your time.”

“I’m glad I could be of help to you, Alchemist Silvermist,” the woman said, reverence in her eyes.

They walked away from the place and Alex was surprised about the entire ordeal. “Master, I knew you were a big deal, but you feel even more of a big deal than I thought.” frёeωebɳovel.com

“Of course,” Snowleaf said from the side. “Did you think a Peerless Alchemist is a nobody?”

“That’s not what I meant, senior,” Alex said. “It’s just… I expected there to be enough alchemists in the Medicine World that while Master was good, he wasn’t so well known. Especially when we’re not even in his home continent. That woman recognized him at a single glance.”

“There are not that many Peerless Alchemists out there. I only know about 12 myself,” Grimsight said. “And even among those, half of them are not from this world.”

Alex was surprised. “Only 12?” he asked.

“Hey, don’t confuse my disciple with half information,” Silvermist said. “When he says Peerless Alchemist, he only means the ones that have taken the test and passed. There are many more that are peerless, but do not wish the recognition.”

“Oh… so you are very popular, master,” Alex said.

“Haha, of course,” Silvermist said. “But that’s not always a good thing. We can’t let people know I am teaching you, or they will have you targeted in the tournament. Either that or try to curry favors from you. You certainly don’t want that right?”

“No, I do not,” Alex said.

“You’ll learn more about me when we travel the various continents,” Silvermist said. “You don’t have to worry about remaining in the dark for too long.”

Alex frowned a bit. “We’re traveling the continents? I thought I would be training behind closed doors now.”

“You will,” Silvermist said. “But I fear I may have to at least help you familiarize yourself with this world. For whatever reason, I believe it may be important to one of the many contests in the tournament.”

“Oh. Do you have an idea of what the contests will be?” Alex asked. “I assume there will be more than one.”

“More than one, yes. Way more than one. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are 50 different contests, but I can’t be sure. We will suggest contests to the Alchemy God, but he will be the one who decides in the end what is being used and what is not.”

Alex nodded. “Is the Alchemy God in this world right now?” he asked. Silvermist shrugged. “I wouldn’t know honestly. His Majesty may be here, or he may be in another world, doing something. If he is here, he will be in God’s Domain in the south.”

Alex quickly recalled the map of the world, locating the continent known as God’s Domain. He had found it weirdly named, but it appeared it was named as such because the Alchemy God lived there.

“Does the Alchemy God rule the God’s Domain?” Alex asked.

“Technically… yes, but he is too busy to be doing the ruling. His wives rule it instead,” Silvermist said.

Alex raised an eyebrow. ‘Wives?’ Harems weren’t that common in any of the worlds, but if a god decided to have one, who could stop them? “There is another continent with the name God in it to the east of here. God Origin. Does that belong to the Alchemy God as well?” he asked.

“No, it was where the Alchemy God was born,” Silvermist said. “Not the current one though. The old one. The very first Alchemy God.”
