Chapter 2104 Decisions Made
Alex nodded slowly. That was still a hell of a fast breakthrough.
"If I were to use it right now, I\'ll break through to the next realm," Alex said. "But… that would be a bad idea."
"Yes," Silvermist said, keeping back the flower. "I intend on giving it to you when you reach the highest you can reach by the time the tournament starts. Then you can consume it. You will break through to the next realm and be ready for the tournament."
Alex nodded. He didn\'t know how fast his breakthrough would be at his current pace, but it would no doubt help him reach over Immortal Ascendant 7th or 8th realm by that time. Maybe even 9th.
"The later I use it, the more beneficial," Alex said. "It sounds like that is how everyone should be using it, master. Why did you bring it out right now?"
Silvermist shrugged. "I wondered if it would be a good idea to feed it to you right now," he said. "Most regular Immortals consume it as soon as they find it."
"Huh?" Alex asked in surprise. "Why consume it so quickly? Why not wait for when their cultivation speed dwindles? Am I perhaps wrong in assuming that it\'s a one-time thing?"
"I never said you could only eat it once, did I?" Silvermist asked.
"No… I just assumed," Alex said. All the other plants of such variety he had come across had some sort of restrictions on them. Given how overpowered this flower was, he couldn\'t imagine how one got to use it more than once.
"They can consume it more than once, but there has to be at least a thousand-year gap in between each consumption. For a cultivator of your caliber, I fear you will reach the Immortal Origin realm long before a millennium has come to pass. So I hesitated at the end."
"I see," Alex said. "Are there such treasures for the Immortal Origin realm and the latter realms as well?"
"A few," Silvermist said. "But they are so very rare that you might as well forget about it. The chances of one being found in one of the Immortal realm itself is very rare."
"I understand," Alex said. "I will focus on cultivating on my own. I will find some if I\'m lucky. If I\'m not, nothing\'s lost."
Silvermist nodded. "That\'s the spirit," he said. "Anyway, we will need to leave for now. Have your beast come out. We will take him with us now and train him. You can stay here and cultivate without any disturbance."
Alex nodded, calling out Pearl. Pearl arrived in his white robe, his flowing golden hair falling behind him. He didn\'t say anything and simply bowed a little toward the two clearly powerful individuals.
"Pearl, it\'s been decided that senior Grimsight will teach you how to fight with a Spear. You will go with him starting today and start training," Alex said.
Pearl had expected these words as they had talked about it before, but the fact that it had been settled had still come to him as a bit of a surprise. He was very much expecting the men to refuse that condition.
"Senior, I\'m happy to learn anything I can from you. Please spare me all of your knowledge," Pearl said, bowing.
"Get up," Grimsight said. "I will teach you what I can, but that will depend on your willingness to learn and your talent. I have nothing else to do, so I will push you to your hardest and see how you fare."
"Please do," Pearl said.
Grimsight nodded. "And one more thing. Don\'t call me master. I don\'t want to be anyone\'s master, nor do I wish to have a disciple under me. I will teach you what I can, but it is merely a form of transaction. I am fulfilling a condition placed upon me by him. Nothing else."
Pearl nodded. "I understand, senior. I will not overstep my boundaries."
"Good," Grimsight said finally. "You may come with us."
Silvermist took out a talisman and handed it over to Alex. "Contact me through this if you need anything important. I doubt you will, but just in case."
Alex took the talisman he was handed over and gave it a look over. The runes of the talisman were quite small and intricate. There were so many tiny ones in there that nearly the entire talisman looked completely black with ink. It was no doubt a talisman of great quality. He placed it into his Soul Space. "Where will you guys be staying? In the Blackfrost guild?" he asked.
"No," Silvermist said. "As we mentioned, we have nothing else to do right now. So we will spend most of the time going around this realm, visiting new places I haven\'t been to before. It will be a period of leisure for me."
"Oh… will you take Pearl too?" Alex asked.
"I mean, brother Grimsight goes where I go, and since your beast is going to be training under him, he will have to follow us too," Silvermist said.
"That makes sense," Alex said. He was a little surprised that Pearl was going to get to see the outside world before he had. He had only been to a handful of cities after all.
"We should let you get back to cultivating now. Can\'t let you waste any more time," Silvermist said. "We will be leaving now."
Alex nodded. "I will work hard, master. I won\'t disappoint you."
"Don\'t worry. You are bound to be one of the greatest alchemists who will take part in the tournament. Our victory is all but certain," Silvermist said, letting out a cheerful laugh. "I\'ll see you later, disciple."
"Yes, master," Alex said, giving a deep bow.
"I\'ll see you later, brother," Pearl said, waving his hand in goodbye.
"Train well, Pearl. I hope to see you be a master spearman the next time I see you."
The three left the room, and left along with Elder Shang who had been waiting to escort them away. Alex followed them partly to a teleportation formation from where they teleported away, gone far enough that Alex\'s bond with Pearl became faint at best.
He sensed Pearl moving further and away and soon he was completely gone. He had moved so far away that he had no way of sensing Pearl anymore. Alex made his way back to his cave afterward, feeling a new sense of rejuvenation after talking with the two. The decision that had been gnawing at him from the back of his head had finally been made, and he was no longer in a dilemma.
Everything that needed to be done had been done. All that was left for him to cultivate the best he could and wait for the time to leave this world. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
