White Canvas Daisy was the primary ingredient in the Blank Canvas Pill, through which Alex could recreate any and all pills he had experienced using the Divine Elemental Accord technique.

It was one of the only ingredients that he did not have within his knowledge that was given to him by the Alchemy God. Alex still did not know whether that was on purpose or a mistake at all.

“I’ve tried searching about that ingredient’s information, but have found very little. Can you tell me more about it, master?” Alex asked.

“White Canvas Daisy?” it isn’t a well-known ingredient because it’s not really that useful. The only thing I could say it is useful for is what I just taught you. People do seek for it for that reason, but due to its lack of many uses and on top of that being hard to find, people do not care much about it.”

“The fact that you know about it is enough in most cases,” Silvermist said.

“It’s… useless?” Alex asked. “Are there really no pills that could be made with it?”

“No. None,” Silvermist answered.

Alex was surprised since the information was clearly false. One could use the daisy to make the pill after all. There had to be something more here that he was missing.

“Is that all then? The flower does nothing else?” he asked.

“No, nothing I can think of,” Silvermist said.

“I see,” Alex said. Maybe what he knew was all that there was about the flower. A reason why he knew nothing about the flower was because there was nothing about the flower to learn, maybe?

“If you don’t mind me asking, master. How did you come by all of this information?” he asked. “I don’t believe I have ever heard about Pill Fusion or using the pill as an ingredient before.”

“I learned it during the war,” Silvermist said. “Because of the situation, we were forced to do what we could to make good quality pills or use substitutes for when we lacked ingredients.”

“I do not know who exactly it was that spread the information, but most of us that were considered the best of the best alchemists in the war were given this knowledge,” Silvermist said. “Anyone who wasn’t part of the war or wasn’t considered talented enough to make good use of this was never given it.”

“Oh… so there will be a lot of people that know it then,” Alex said.,

“There were no more than a few dozen back then. A few died, and the remaining either kept it for themselves or gave it to their disciples. I can’t tell for certain how many more know about these, but there shouldn’t be a lot. Most would want to keep it all for themselves after all.”

It wasn’t difficult for Alex to understand that.

“I don’t believe there is anything else left for me to teach you. At least not for a long while,” Silvermist said. “You should learn what you can by yourself for now. I will provide all the resources that you need to train and show you the right way when you take the wrong path. Other than that, there is nothing left for me to teach you before the tournament.”

Alex stood up from where he sat and bowed toward Silvermist. “You have taught me enough, master.”

Silvermist smiled. “I hope so too. Take your time with the training. There are 4 more decades before the tournament. That is plenty of time for you to train. In a year or two, when I find some free time, I will take you to see the Molten Hearth Continent.”

“I look forward to that, master,” Alex said and sat back down.

Silvermist walked away from the room, and as he left, his voice returned once more. “Brother Grimsight will be here in a few minutes.”

Alex looked forward to it. While he waited, he went through everything he had learned today, mostly the 3 different pieces of information.

The first was Pill Fusion. The second was substituting a Pill for an ingredient. And thirdly, using the ingredient substitute pill to make a better pill.

Silvermist had only intended to teach him the first and third. The second one was just a part of the third. But it was different enough that Alex took it as a lesson on its own. In fact, if anything, that was what Alex would say was the biggest thing he learned today.

Using pills to make an ingredient was very fascinating to him, especially when he looked at it just beyond what it was used for. His mind immediately went to the Fain Immortal Peach Lily, the flower that allowed someone to break through to the next realm within the Immortal Ascendant 1st realm by just consuming it.

Could he make a pill for that?

He would need to understand its elemental composition to copy it, but once he did, he was bound to be able to do so, right? What about the other such flowers and fruits? Everything that was natural had energy. Could he not practically copy everything he came across if that was the case?

He would have to find everything first, yes. But once he did, he could make it again and again, so long as he had the ingredients for it. And when he had them all, he could… So many thoughts ran through his mind at once, making him excited about everything in the future.

He waited for some time before Grimsight showed up. Until the man entered the room, Alex hadn’t even noticed him arriving at the mansion. It was always such a surprise with this man.

“How is your training going?” Grimsight asked. “Good, I hope. Brother Silver was quite happy.”

“It is going great, senior. Thank you for asking.”

Grimsight sat down before the cauldron, looking at it for a moment before looking toward Alex. “I heard you wanted to talk to me about your sword. I should tell you, I only know about spears. You are better off finding others if it’s about sword mastery.”

“You should be able to help me, senior,” Alex said, bringing out Midnight. He placed the sword next to the cauldron. “I have blood refined both of these two when I made them myself in the lower realm, so they both have nascent spirit in them. Master just taught me about how to help the nascent spirit inside of my cauldron grow. So, I was hoping you could tell me how I could help my sword’s spirit grow as well.”

If Grimsight was shocked by this knowledge, he didn’t let it show on his face. He looked at Midnight for a while and said, “What metal is this?”

“Starforged Tungsten,” Alex said.

Grimsight nodded. “Do you have any plans on changing to a different sword soon?” he asked.

“Change sword?” Alex asked before furiously shaking his head. “No, this is my sword. It is a part of me now. I will not change it.”

Grimsight nodded. “If I were you, I would change the sword right now,” he said. “Get a sword made out of a better metal. If you take too long, I fear there is no turning back.”
