Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 1226 Returning To Silvermoon City

Alex and the group left the Blue Spring sect in the afternoon and made their way Southwest.

The Silvermoon city was on the way, and beyond it was the Blazing Earth sect where Liz had to go to speak with her master.

They could have taken a simple teleportation formation to go to any city they wanted to, but because the auction was going to start tomorrow, Alex had decided to take it slow.

He didn't want to stay in the city for too long at all, and on top of that, he wanted to show the scenery of the Northern Continent to his father and his daughter.

"Wow, it's snowing," Ronron said as she looked at the overcast sky with heavy snowfall. There was a small barrier around the boat they were in, so the snow couldn't get in at all, but they still saw it clearly with how slow the boat was moving.

They watched the scenery change from one full of ice and snow, to one that had less of it. Then when they arrived at Silvermoon city, there was almost no snow at all.

The five of them got off and looked around the city.

"It's a big city," Graham said as he looked around. "Not as big as your capital, but still quite big."

"The entire city used to be a single sect, belonging to something called the Snow Immortal sect," Alex explained. "The sect was destroyed over 8 thousand years ago and their land became the Silvermoon city."

"You guys go in," Hao Ya said. "I will need to leave and go to the Teleportation formation. Make sure it can send everyone back and all."

"Are you sure you don't want to stay?" Alex asked.

"I rested the entire day yesterday," Hao Ya said. "I need to work now."

"Actually, let me come along with you," Liz said. "I should go back and speak to my master as soon as possible."

Alex nodded. "Father, do you want to go to the auction?" he asked.

"No, not particularly," Graham said. "I'm just following you guys."

"Then you should go with aunt," he said. "After I'm done here, I will take Ronron to meet senior Luhei and come find you in the Blazing Earth sect. That sect has Body Cultivators, so you might end up having something in common with the people there."

"Oh, is that so?" Graham said. "Then I will go with Liz. Make sure you guys don't get caught up somewhere."

"We won't," Alex said.

"Goodbye Grandpa, grandaunt, sister Hao," Ronron quickly waved them goodbye.

The three of them left on their own, leaving behind Ronron and Alex to go into the city alone.

As soon as Alex went into the city, he found something was different about it all.

"Wow, there are so many people," he thought to himself. "How are there so many?"

"Did they all come for the auction?" Ronron asked.

"I don't know," Alex said. "Maybe? It can't be that these are all players that want to go back though."

"Who cares? Let's just go to the auction, father," Ronron said.

"The auction is tomorrow morning at 10," Alex said. "We still have some 9 hours before that."

"Uhh… what do we do then?" Ronron asked.

"Do you feel tired?" Alex asked.

"Not particularly," Ronron said. "I am a cultivator too, you know. I can go on for days without resting at all."

"Hmm, then do you want to go around the city and see what they have?" Alex asked.

"Ooh, can we?" Ronron got excited. "Let's go, father."

Alex smiled. "Let's go then."

The two of them went around the city touring it all. There were various things in the city that Ronron liked, so Alex bought her everything she laid her eyes on.

Alex also went into all of the alchemy stores, confusing Ronron quite a bit.

"Why are we going to the Alchemy stores? Do you want to buy some pills?" she asked with a confused expression. After all, her father was supposed to be someone that was one of the best at making pills himself.

"No, I'm not looking to make a pill. I'm searching for some ingredients, but it's hard to find because of how sought after it is," Alex said.

"What ingredient?" Ronron asked.

"It's called a Blood Revitalizing Ginger," Alex said. "It's used to make a True Rejuvenating pill, which is what I want to make."

"True Rejuvenating pill? What does that do?" Ronron asked.

"It can improve someone's longevity by quite a few years, depending on how strong they are. It's not very effective for someone in the True realm or even the common realm, but for someone that is a mortal, the pill can improve their lives by nearly a thousand years."

"A THOUSAND YEARS?!" Ronron's eyes went wide.

"Uhuh," Alex said.

"A-and you're making these for…"

"Obviously for your parents, who else?" Alex said.

Ronron slowly started tearing up when she heard that.

"Hey, you don't have to cry," Alex said as he quickly wiped her tears.

Ronron quickly hugged him in the middle of the shop, surprising Alex. "Thank you, father."

Alex smiled and stroked her head for a bit. "Alright, you can stop now. You'll make my clothes wet," he said.

"Hehe," Ronron chuckled and moved away from him. She wiped her tears while Alex went on searching for the ingredients.

They went around a few shops, but nowhere did they find the ingredients.

"Hmm, they might have to wait a year or so," Alex said. "I know there are a lot back in the Southern Continent, so I can use the ones there to make it."

"I don't think there is a hurry right now, father," Ronron said.

The sun was starting to come up from the east by the time the two of them had gone through all the shops in the city.

"Do you want something to eat? You haven't tasted what this world's food is like, have you?" Alex asked.

"Of course not," Ronron said. "Are we going to a restaurant?"

"Yes," Alex said and took her to a restaurant close by.

He wanted a separate place for himself and his daughter on some of the private upper floors of the restaurant, but to his surprise, there wasn't any place available on the upper floors at all.

"I'm sorry, senior. You will have to wait if you insist on using the upper floors. Otherwise, we do have a table open right here," the young man said.

"What do you think?" Alex turned around to Ronron. "You can make the choice."

Ronron got a little close to Alex. "Do the upper floors get better food?" she asked.

"No, senior. The food is all the same, everywhere. We do not discriminate amongst our customers," the young man answered quickly.

"Oh, then we should just sit right here, father," Ronron said.

"Alright, take us to the table," Alex said.

The young man took the two of them to the table where they looked through the menu.

"By the way, do you know why there are so many people in this city?" Alex asked.

"Oh, that's because everyone in the Ancient Battlefield was called out abruptly so that the players or whatever can return to their place," the young man said. "It only happened today, so the city is filled to the brim."

"I see," Alex said. "Thank you for answering."

Then, he let Ronron order what she wanted to eat and waited for the food to arrive.
