Chapter 2232 Quick Return The woman moved in front of the flower and turned to look at everyone else that remained. "I shall take this flower now. Please leave immediately, or I will assume you are an enemy of mine and fight you." Alex frowned and felt annoyed. He could probably teleport in and take that flower if he wanted to, but in doing so, he would make an enemy of the woman. And she was strong enough that if he wasn't careful, she would kill him. At the very least, making an enemy of hers would mean that he would have to immediately leave this valley. Considering that he had only just come here just half a day ago, he wasn't planning on leaving for several days still. So, it appeared the flower was not something he was going to get. Alex still looked around, searching for anyone who could maybe give him a chance to sneak in and take that flower, but everyone was waiting for similar opportunities as well. No one wanted to do the work themselves. A few people walked away, but the majority of the ones that had their medallions on them remained. The woman waited as well, watching everyone intently. Her cultivator base was at full force, scaring away anyone who started getting courageous. Alex looked at everyone whose eyes he could see. They all wanted the Devil Skull flower no matter what. In the end, however, the flower blossomed fully, letting out an aroma like no other, and the woman plucked it before walking away. They watched her leave and had to dejectedly walk away as well. Alex walked toward the Devil Skull flower's remaining plant and sighed. There was nothing left here to get. 'I suppose I am only getting it from the Threeflower continent then,' he thought and walked away to gather more ingredients. At least, he learned something important from this experience. The main thing to take away from this was that he was not the only one searching for these ingredients. As the Alchemy God had mentioned, there were 90 thousand other participants. Not everyone would get distinctly different pills. At the minimum, even if the recipes themselves were distinctive, the ingredients had to be shared across the many recipes. And Alex had a feeling that the Alchemy god had used a very small set, maybe a few hundred, of ingredients to create the recipes to force competition between them all. That meant the chances of all of them finding the ingredients were smaller than one could imagine. Alex feared that this also meant that one had to be as fast as possible in the days. Thinking about this, he understood that he needed to leave this continent as soon as he could. There was nothing that was keeping him here in God's Domain at all. Alex still continued his search for the other ingredients in the Great Fog Valley. He just wanted enough to start making a lot of pills. That way, he could start snowballing his earnings quickly and leave this place. 'Still,' Alex thought. 'This really is a problem with mostly public places. All the good stuff gets taken away immediately.' Only in private gardens did they let all plants grow naturally, and didn't take it away the moment it grew. Unfortunately, Alex wasn't privy to those gardens anymore as he couldn't associate with any organizations in the slightest. 'There's no worry,' he thought. 'I know of places I can visit. I know where to find most of them.' As he thought, he understood why his master had taken so much time to get him to tour the world with him. On every continent they were in, they visited many places for multiple years. Was that all so he could know where he had to find certain things? 'Did Master know about the competition?' Alex wondered. Silvermist had been part of the tournament coordination, so he could have been part of the ones who talked about the competition. Maybe he was the one who had suggested this idea in the first place. That was why he took Alex around the world instead of letting him stay and train for the tournament. 'That's it then. I will need to go to another continent as quickly as I can,' Alex thought. That did not mean he was going to go back to the city immediately though. There were still some things he needed to find here, two in particular, but it felt impossible to find. Alex searched for those two items, including of course the other 12 ingredients for his pill. He took anything good he could find, but all that he could find were ingredients that would make some simple pills. Simple pills never sold for much money at all, and in the Medicine World, they were much cheaper than elsewhere. It was the most competitive of all the other worlds when it came to Alchemy after all. Alex had now spent 3 days in the Great Fog Valley and found nothing that he was looking for. He wanted to continue searching but Whisker had come back from the dead, so it was time to get him to Momo. He flew back to the Fogbank city, quickly returning to the courtyard he had purchased. It was afternoon when he returned, so both Pearl and Momo were outside, training how to fight. It was a mostly physical fight with Momo sending a barrage of punches and kicks at Pearl, who simply blocked or dodged. Momo was about to kick him in the chest when Pearl simply froze her with his Qi. "We can stop here for now," he said, turning her around to face Alex. "Master!" Momo cried out loud. "You're finally back." Alex smiled. "I was only gone for 3 days," he said. "How are you doing? I see your cultivation base has improved Significantly." "Yes, master!" she said loudly. "I've entered the Bone Tempering realm just this morning." "Congratulations," Alex said. "And what about your techniques? Have you learned them yet?" "Not really," she said, a little dejected. "They are so hard to learn. I can make the Jade body technique work half the time, but I still need practice. The others… it will take some time." "She's struggling to figure out the meridians and where they go. It shouldn't be too long before she learns it all," Pearl said. "She is very talented after all." Momo gave a wide smile at being praised. "Very well," Alex said. "Momo, come here. I want you to meet someone." "Hmm, who?" she asked, walking forward. Alex placed his hand out and Whisker appeared before it in a flash. Whisker looked around immediately, confused at the place he had come to. The last thing he knew, he was inside the Playground, asking one of the Immortal puppets inside to kill him. Not that he had come back to life, he was in a courtyard he didn't recognize. "Waah!" the girl shrilled. "So cute!" Whisker looked at the girl, a small frown on his face. "You must be Momo," he said. "Do not call me cute, little girl. I am your master's little brother. You should call me Uncle Whisker."
