Chapter 2088  The Premise of the Tournament

"For what?" the man asked with child-like curiosity.

"As I said, I will not be answering that question," he replied.

"Alright, forget that. How long will you be staying there?" he asked.

Alex shook his head. "I won\'t be answering that either." Answering anything other than 10 years would be wrong, and 10 years would let them know that he was going to move on to the next realm.

"Come on, you have to tell me something," the man said. "If you are willing to leave the realm one more time, you will be able to take part in the Alchemy tournament after all."

"Leave the realm?" Alex frowned, a possible understanding of the current situation budding in his mind. "Is the Alchemy tournament not taking place in the Myriad Spirit Realm?"

"What? Of course not! Why would any Alchemy tournament take place in this realm?" Silvermist asked. "You guys barely have any good Alchemists at all. How many Prime Alchemists are there in this realm again? 10 at best? There aren\'t even any Peerless Alchemists here."

"Peerless Alchemists?" Alex asked with a look that said he wanted to learn more. "I have heard of this term before, but haven\'t been explained what it means. What does it mean?"

"Peerless Alchemists are simply those Alchemists who can go beyond the pill veins," Silvermist explained. "They are the ones who can create Pill Souls."

"Pill souls…" Alex said softly. He had been told about these before but had never known anything about them.

Silvermist saw that Alex was interested in the topic and grinned. "You want to learn more about these things?" he asked.

Alex instinctively nodded.

"Then become my apprentice," Silvermist said. "You don\'t even have to call me master. Just be a temporary apprentice of mine so that you can join the tournament under me. I get the credit for bringing you in, and you get to take part as well as learn a lot more about Alchemy than what you possibly know right now."

Alex listened to the offer carefully. It was a good offer, but alas, he needed to go find his family. How much more time could he afford to waste?

"I… can\'t," Alex said, after making another difficult decision. "I just can\'t. If it was a little later, maybe I could make time, but as it stands, I can\'t go."

"But you just… you wanted to go just now, didn\'t you? You were ready to accept," Silvermist said.

"Yes, but the timing just doesn\'t work. The tournament could be a big one, but I don\'t care much for name or fame. I am fine as I am. Compared to that, the thing I am going to do is a lot more important to me. I hope you understand."

"But… but…" Silvermist had no words. What else was he to do here?

Grimsight sighed next to him. "Get to the main bit first so he can understand what is happening in the entirety," he said. "You haven\'t even bothered explaining the premise of the tournament and you expect him to get excited for it. You haven\'t even told him where the tournament is taking place yet."

"Where does it take place?" Alex asked. For that much, he was curious.

"Oh," Silvermist said. "You\'re right. I didn\'t tell him much."

The man turned to Alex and said, "Well, the tournament is about Alchemy, so where it takes place should have been obvious. It takes place in the Medicine World."

Alex perked up a little, his eyes widening. "I\'m sorry, the medicine world?" he asked.

Silvermist saw Alex\'s reaction and realized he should have started from that. "Yes, the Medicine World, the home of the greatest Alchemists. That is where this great Alchemy tournament is going to take place in about 70 years."

Alex sucked in a deep breath. The tournament by itself wasn\'t of much concern to him. But the fact that it was taking place in the Medicine world was different.

It was the world with the greatest alchemy achievement in all of the Immortal realm. To any Alchemist, it would be an incredible chance to be able to visit there, much less take part in a tournament.

However, the thing that elevated it for Alex was the fact that the Medicine world was where THE Alchemy God came from. As the inheritor of his knowledge, he wanted to go to that place.

Silvermist missed none of the emotions Alex let show on his face and continued. "About 30 years ago, the Alchemy God made a decision to find the greatest Alchemists of our generations, he—"

"Wait, wait, wait, the Alchemy God?" Alex asked out loud, standing up in surprise. "The Alchemy god, he\'s—"

Dead. That was what Alex wanted to say, but then he realized that the Alchemy God they were talking about was most likely a different one from the one he called an Alchemy god.

"—he\'s the one who started the tournament?" he finished his sentence half a second later.

Silvermist gave him a weird look. "I was getting to that," he said and continued.

"The Alchemy God came to the Medicine World with a plan to find the greatest Alchemist of the young generation that had not been in the Medicine World yet. Given how the Medicine World is the most advanced Immortal realm when it comes to Alchemy, he felt it imperative that all talented Alchemists should get a chance to train with the best resources available so they can be the best at what they do."

"As such, he gave the task of finding these talents to all guilds, sects, and families. Everyone who was an Alchemist of any fame would search for these talents, and anyone who brought over the best talents would get something in return."

"We haven\'t been told what we will be receiving just yet, but to get it directly from the Alchemy God would mean it no small matter," he said. "And it wouldn\'t just be us who gets it. Even the Alchemists we find would get it. With you being able to call Pill Clouds, it is easy to determine that we will reach quite far in this tournament. Even victory is all but confirmed." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"So what do you say? Do you want to join?" Silvermist asked.

Only now could Alex tell just how massive of a thing this was. They had not been exaggerating any of it at all. The matter regarding it taking place in the Medicine World by itself was enough to sway Alex\'s opinion on what he wanted to do next, but adding the fact that the Alchemy God himself was facilitating this tournament meant it would be bigger than anything else.

A world with the greatest Alchemists of his generation, and a chance to see where the peak of the current Alchemy landscape lay. He wanted to see it. He wanted to understand it.

But his family… would they have to wait even more now?

"I… need some time to think about this," he said. "Can I get back to you in a few days?"
