Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2253  Pillheaven Continent

Alex transferred his year-long ownership of the courtyard to Jai Heiyun that very evening. Then he spent the entire night chatting with her about various things while helping her with a lot of different things regarding the tournament.

Because Jai Heiyun was newer to the Medicine World, she wasn't completely aware of where everything was. She knew about the broader aspects of the world but because most of the minor information was kept in talismans that she took out to check from time to time, she could no longer figure out what she had to do once her access to her Soul Space was taken away.

Alex taught her about everything he knew in as much detail as he could to help her. Considering Jai Heiyun's cultivation base, he didn't see her winning the competition or even coming close to it. She lacked both the knowledge and the strength for it.

Still, he wished her the best of luck and would love to see her outperform many of the candidates in the competition. Even if she got anywhere close to the top 1000, that would be a sight to see.

Alex also made it expressly clear that she was not to tell anyone that they knew each other before this or anything else about him. He wasn't very much worried about people knowing he was from the 3rd Major Spirit realm. But he was worried about people finding out that he had a close connection with the man who lived in the Central Continent as well as being friends with the Heavenly Beasts.

That knowledge would be enough for people to figure out that he may have received many items from them, leading them to find out about the World Tree.

Alex returned to his room late at night and cultivated silently until dawn broke. Then, he went out and gathered everyone as it was time to leave.

Momo was cultivating incredibly quickly thanks to the pills he had made for her and was now halfway through the Organ Tempering realm. It had only been a month and she had shown quite the improvement. Once she had more things in the future, she would be doing quite well.

Jai Heiyun and her young disciple came out to say their farewell. "I'll see you later, brother Dawnblade," Jai Heiyun said softly. "Goodbye, Whisker. Brother Pearl." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Whisker waved goodbye and Pearl gave a curt nod. Alex waved his hands. "See you in the next competition," he said and walked away with the rest.

They left the courtyard, making their way to the place where they could teleport away from. They needed to first teleport to the far side of the God's Domain in the east, and from there they could teleport to the Pillheaven Continent.

Whisker and Pearl disappeared into their Beast Space so that Alex could save a bit of money. If he could do the same with Momo, he would.

He teleported from Fogbank City to multiple cities along the way before arriving at Dampmoss City where the formation lay for intercontinental teleportation.

Normally, people would have to wait up to a few days to take the teleportation formation or apply in advance, but Alex was allowed swift teleportation thanks to his status as a participant in the competition.

Both he and Momo could use the teleportation immediately, and only for the small price of 120 thousand Immortal spirit stones.

Alex grimaced at the price. 60 thousand Immortal stones per person. Compared to the about 3 thousand Immortal spirit stones he paid for the two of them to teleport from Fogbank city to Dampmoss city, it was almost criminal.

But, he understood that the Intercontinental Formation being used here likely was a Divine-rank formation, and so it would cost quite a bit. If there were a smaller teleportation gap along the way, it would have likely cost them much lower.

But, since it was needed, Alex paid the price, and half an hour later, they had arrived at the Pillheaven Continent.

Alex walked outside out of the formation building, smelling the sweet air of the Pillheaven continent. He remember this scent as though it was yesterday.

He had arrived at the bustling city of Rosefall, a capital in a way for the Pillheaven Continent. Pillheaven Continent didn't have a sect or a clan running their continent, but rather guilds.

Many guilds ran different sections of the continent, one of which was the Royal Sprout guild that controlled the God's Origin island. The Royal Sprout guild controlled not only God's Origin but a large chunk of the northwest-west region of the continent.

Alex and Momo had arrived around the middle section of the continent, on the eastern side of the Mistspawn Mountains, ruled by the Falling Rose Guild. And their headquarters was in the Rosefall City.

Large frosted spires that were the Mistspawn mountains could be seen to the west as Alex and Momo made their way through the city. The morning sun burned brightly against the snow-white mountain, quickly evaporating the snow, which cooled down enough to turn into fog and cloak its lower region as if covered in mist— which was where it got its name from.

Momo was in awe at seeing the mountains, so Alex promised to take her there for a closer look. Truth was, he had to go close to it anyway, so there was no reason not to.

Whisker and Pearl had arrived by their side, enjoying their time in the new city as well. "What is that aroma?" Whisker said, smelling not just with his nose but also his seeking whiskers. They were particularly sensitive to smells, so he didn't miss it.

"It smells great, doesn't it?" Momo asked.

"That would be the Whole Rose Garden," Alex said. "There's a large garden to the west that you can pay to enter, which primarily grows Roses. There are of course other flowers, but almost everyone goes there to get roses."

"And that is what we are smelling?" Pearl asked. "How close is it?"

"It's far away," Alex said. "You smell it now, but just wait until you go there and smell it for yourself. It smells heavenly."

"I could never get used to staying in such a wonderful-smelling place," Momo said with a goofy grin.

"You say that, but you get used to it very quickly," Alex said. "Happened to me when I stayed here for a while. I was here for 2 days and I already couldn't smell the roses."

"In fact, when I went to another city from here, I thought that city smelled weird at first. I only learned later that it was not the city that smelled weird, but just that I was no longer smelling roses."

"Oh!" Momo said with a concerned look.

Alex stopped and pointed to a shop. "Alchemy store. We found one,' he said and walked in.

They were welcomed by a staff, but none were as courteous as the ones back in the Fogbank city. People eyed their medallion, but no one seemed to realize what it was for. 'People haven't gotten here yet,' Alex thought.

"Are you looking for something in particular, or would you like you browse our items?" the staff asked.

"Kind of both," Alex said. "Say, would you happen to have these ingredients?"
