Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2130  The Tickets

Silvermist patted Blackfrost\'s shoulders. "I don\'t know when I will be back next, brother. It will be thousands of years before we meet again. Make sure to do well. If anything happens, come to the Medicine world. My place will be open to you all the time."

"Thank you, but I don\'t think I will need that," Blackfrost said. "My guild is doing fine, and I doubt I will need anything at all. If I do end up needing something, I will be sure to make my way to you."

Silvermist nodded heavily.

"Farewell," Grimsight said a single word and walked away.

Alex gave a bow in greeting and walked away as well. Once they had done their farewell, they made their way to the sect.

"Where is Pearl?" Grimsight asked, not seeing him anymore.

"Inside," Alex said, not clarifying where inside was. "Did you need something from him?"

"Nothing," the old man said. "I was just curious where he went to. His Beast Space must be proper then. I can barely see any aura of his."

Alex gave a simple nod, not saying anything else. Pearl was in the Demon Realm right now, on his way to meet the other Alex and Emily to tell them what was happening.

He hadn\'t met them for some time so he wanted to meet and also deliver the message at the same time.

They teleported back to the Bluesilk City. Silvermist and Grimsight went over to their hotel, while Alex made his way to the sect. Once he arrived, he found his nameplate buzzing.

He checked it and realized that the sect master had asked for him to visit him when he could. Since Alex had nothing to do at the moment, he decided to go see why he had called.

\'Must be the tickets,\' he thought.

It did turn out to be the tickets, but also something more.

When he let him know that he was coming and arrived, he found himself sitting in a room with 6 other Elders. There was Sunheart, Elder Liang, Elder Shang, Elder Frosteyes, Elder Twintails, and a final man he did not recognize.

He had never seen this person before, but he was clearly an Elder as well. He had to be one of the four Peaks that were absent on the day when he had entered the sect.

The man had dark gray hair, turning fully white in some places. He was old but appeared young at a glance. "Oh! Is this the disciple?" the man asked. "He is much younger than you made him sound to be."

"Greetings, Elder. I am Dawnblade," Alex said.

"Disciple, this is Elder Stonemask. You must\'ve heard about him, surely."

Alex nodded. He had heard his name at least, and the small bit of description there was about him when read about the 15 Peaks.

"Elder Stonemask was away for a while but has returned now. We told him that you were going to leave, so he wanted to see you before you were gone."

"I had to, sect master. I keep hearing his name everywhere I go," the man said. "One person tells me he found senior Sixghost\'s sabers, and then another one tells me he completed all 20 thousand steps in the First Mountain."

"And then, lately, brother Liang has been talking about him non-stop, saying how great of an alchemist the sect would have in the future and how if he dies, the sect probably won\'t miss him."

"Ahem," Elder Liang coughed to the side. "Brother Stonemask, you do not need to let others know what I told you while I was drunk on the spirit wines."

Stonemask laughed and turned back toward Alex. "I expect you to return here soon, disciple. You will have to make our sect\'s name known throughout all the other realms."

Alex nodded. "I will, Elder Stonemask."

Stonemask nodded. "That is all. Please continue why you called him here, sect master," he said.

Thunderspine nodded and pulled something out from his Soul Space. As though made of gold itself, the talismans he brought out glittered brightly even in the dim light of the room.

"These are the tickets that you were so looking forward to," he said and handed them over.

Alex took the ticket, so smooth and cool to the touch. He felt around the text on it, but nothing was written. He tried to look at the runes that were written and was surprised to notice that these weren\'t runes at all.

These were no talismans in the first place. What was written on it was instead text, that said \'Inter-realm Teleportation Ticket\' over and over all throughout.

"These are the tickets?" Alex asked.

"Yes, and they are very expensive. Do not lose them. Each one costs about 5 million Immortal Spirit stones, or its equivalent," the Sect Master said.

Alex looked forward with a shocked face. "That expensive?" he asked.

"What? Did you think it was going to be just a few thousand spirit stones?" Thunderspine asked.

"No… I mean, I knew it was going to be expensive. I just… I had never heard of the numbers myself, I suppose," he said. Even right now, he didn\'t have 5 million spirit stones. After all the spending he had done during the past years, he had about 2.5 million.

He would\'ve definitely had more had he taken better care with his spending and his earnings though.

"When will you be leaving?" Thunderspine asked.

"First light the morning after tomorrow," Alex said. "We need to be in the Rosesteel continent 3 days before we teleport away."

"I see. That is not a lot of time then," Thunderspine said. "There is something else we need to give you."

Elder Shang moved, bringing out some items. There were about a dozen or so items, all of them seemingly defensive.

"Take these with you and use them when you need to," she said. "May these help you escape your enemies."

Alex took the items and thanked the elder. There were three shields, 2 talismans, a ring, and a necklace. They truly wanted him to be very safe on this journey.

"We are letting you borrow these, so you will have to bring them back," Thunderspine said. "If you lose them, you will have to pay us back." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Alex smiled and nodded.

"And finally, we want to make sure you\'re not walking into some obvious danger," the sect master said. "So… sister Frosteyes."

The old seer woman nodded and her eyes went white all of a sudden. Within the next moment, Alex felt eyes pop up all around him, feeling it watch deep within him.

He knew this was a Creation at work and wanted to stop it, but he didn\'t. She was strong enough to force her way should she need to anyway.

The old woman stopped what she was doing, taking it all back. "No, I still can\'t see much of his future, aside from maybe glimpses, but even that is too hard to tell."

"Oh… I see," the sect master said and turned toward Alex. "That will be all for now. You may return. We will meet again on the day you leave."

Alex bowed to all the elders and left.
