Chapter 2155  Court

"How much of a distraction will making a few pills a day even be?" Nurei asked. "You are just making excuses to get out of work."

"I am not," Silvermist said, appalled at the suggestion.

The woman rolled her eyes. "We have 200 different commissions for you, half of them paid in advance. You need to get started on it as soon as possible," she said. "You can teach your disciple a few things, and take some time away to make pills while he is training."

"No. I need to be with him at all times," Silvermist said.

"Stop being such a baby and just do your work," Nurei said. "If not…"

"If not what?" Silvermist asked, daring her.

"I will go work for senior Wineweed," Nurei said.

Silvermist gasped in shock. "You wouldn't," he said.

"I work for people that work," Nurei said. "If you want me to keep your court running, do your damn work."

Silvermist grumbled. "Fine! I'll do it, dammit," he said. "Never bring up that bastard's name again."

"Just do your work," Nurei said with a sigh.

Grimsight stood to the side, hiding his laughter regarding the whole situation. As Silvermist began to walk away, he too stood up to leave.

"Oh right," Silvermist stopped. "Find someone to become my disciple's assistant in the court. I can't have my disciple go around the court, so he needs someone to bring ingredients for him."

Nurei sighed. "I hope this is all worth it, senior brother. I honestly don't even know why you are doing this in the first place. Isn't being a Peerless Alchemist already enough?"

"Not yet," Silvermist said. "I feel like I have reached the pinnacle, but I have yet to learn the Dao of Alchemy still. There has to be much more that I do not know about. So much more I need to learn still. The only one who can possibly tell me that is the Alchemy God. I need this chance."

Nurei did not argue on that matter. "If that is so, then so be it."

Grimsight walked beside Silvermist as he walked out of the room, making his way to his mansion.

"I told you before, you need to give up on the idea of learning the Dao of Alchemy," Grimsight said. "It is not possible to learn."

"Are you certain? Or is that just a guess?" Silvermist asked.

"A guess, but a very educated one," Grimsight said. "The more you learn something externally, the harder it becomes to learn its Dao. There is a reason why despite reaching the pinnacle of Spear, I never managed to learn the Dao of Spear either."

"That doesn't mean there is no higher Dao, brother Grim," Silvermist said. "That simply means you never got there. I will get there. Even if the world tells me the Dao of Alchemy is impossible to learn, I will still learn it."

Silvermist arrived back at his mansion and saw Alex and Snowleaf waiting for them. "Thank you for taking care of him. You can go rest now."

Snowleaf stood up and nodded. "I'll be taking my leave then," he said and left.

Silvermist arrived back at his mansion and saw Alex and Snowleaf waiting for them. "Thank you for taking care of him. You can go rest now."

Snowleaf stood up and nodded. "I'll be taking my leave then," he said and left.

Once Snowleaf left, Silvermist sat down on one of the couches. "What do you think? Your master's place is amazing, isn't it?"

Alex nodded. "It's certainly one of the best places I've been to, master," he answered. "Might just be the best place entirely."

"Well, there are better places elsewhere, but I come real close," Silvermist said. "I'm sorry I cannot let you tour the place. People cannot know about you just yet. They might try and sabotage your progress."

"Even inside of your court?" Alex asked.

"Of course," Silvermist said. "We're not a family and even families have people that try to drag down others, so this is expected."

"I guess that is true," Alex said. "I have been wondering. What exactly is this place? At first, I thought it was a guild, but then I heard there are disciples as well so it sounds like a sect. It can't be both at once, can it?"

"It's… a mixture of two," Silvermist explained. "We have disciples that we teach just like a sect, but we only teach them for a certain number of years. When they are done, they leave. If you want to come back to work, they will have to apply."

"And unlike a sect, the disciples pay us to teach them. We're not trying to cultivate talents here, just teaching those who want to learn."

"Oh! So this is just a school that also functions as a guild," Alex said.

"Yes, exactly. Only, unlike regular guilds, we answer to no one. We make all the decisions for our court," Silvermist said.

"Is that the case with all courts or just this one?" Alex asked. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"All courts I know are like this," Silvermist answered. He looked around for a moment and said, "Do you need to rest? Or we can immediately go into making pills."

"I don't need to rest," Alex said. "If I'm not going to be allowed to leave this building for a while, then I might as well start cultivating and training."

"Great!" Silvermist said. "Let's go start right away. We've wasted enough time. We only have half a century to get you to the required level."

Alex nodded and stood up. "Oh, one moment, master." He made a small gesture and Pearl appeared outside, looking around at everyone. He immediately greeted the two and was surprised by where they were.

"We've arrived, brother?" Pearl asked.

"Yes," Alex said. "I'm going to go train with master now. You should go train with Senior Grimsight."

"Of course," Pearl said and turned toward Grimsight. "When do you continue our training, senior."

"There's no hurry," Grimsight said. "Let's see how you fare against others. Come, there are many you can train against before I teach you what you're lacking."

"Yes, senior."

Pearl left the room and then left the building, while Alex made his way with his master to one of the rooms in the mansion.

Silvermist pointed to one room along the way. "This will be where you will stay."

The room was large, with a soft bed, a lavish couch, dozens of lanterns burning high in the ceiling, and many other furniture that was of little use to a cultivator.

"There is no place to make pills here though, so you will have to do that in another room," Silvermist said.

Alex was confused. "There is enough space there though," he said.

"Yeah, but there are no formations set up for alchemy here," Silvermist said. "It can be good for training in some cases, but it's not worth it at all times to make your pills worse for training."

"Oh, that's fine with me. I don't use formations anyway," Alex said. "Most alchemists rely a lot on formations, huh?"

He only ever used formations when it was available for him, and even then it was mostly for ease rather than actual help. It could be of great help, but he had never really needed it.

Silvermist turned around, confused and frowning. "You don't use formations when making pills?"
