1245 Take a Break
“The Book of Endless Recipes?”
Alex couldn’t help but be fascinated by the name alone. “What does this book do exactly?” he asked.
“We’re not sure, but Alchemy God did imply that the book was capable of providing him with any and all recipes, allowing him to make whatever type of pill he wanted,” the senior said.
“Woah, any and all recipes? That’s…” Alex could only imagine what he could do if he had the knowledge of every single pill that could exist. Life would be so much easier if that were the case.
“That’s… quite amazing,” he said. “What about the other 2 treasures?”
“We do not know what the other two treasures are,” the senior said. “The records from back then are lacking and given the fact that the first Alchemy God was a secretive person, to begin with, there isn’t much I can tell you.”
“I see,” Alex thought. “Well, this is quite a bit of information too.”
The man shrugged. “What else do you want to know?” he asked.
Alex thought for a bit and asked the man about his divinations as well as the divination well in the Northern Continent, but the senior couldn’t help him at all.
He told Alex the same thing Godslayer had said back then. He did not have to trust these divinations at all.
However, Alex found it hard to believe either of these two. After all, of the 6 different divinations he had received, 2 of them had already come true.

“Oh right, that reminds me, wasn’t your aunt supposed to come along with you this time? The one with the time powers?” the senior asked.
“She did,” Alex said. “She should be on the way back to her home right now with my father.”
“Oh, would you mind bringing her here? A person capable of manipulating time can be very helpful to aid me with my work,” the senior said.
“I will see what I can do,” Alex said. “It should take a few days though for her to get over her emotions of losing her home and life.”
“Ah, yes. Let her take her time,” the senior said. “By the way, do you intend to take Ronron to the Western continent too?”
“Yes,” Alex said. “I want her to meet her grandmother there, so I should take her with me.”
“That’s… good, but I’m a little worried that you will be scattered when you teleport away,” the senior said.
“Hmm, I don’t think you will have to worry about us scattering much,” Alex said. “Depending on the power of the Teleportation aura, I should be capable of helping up stick together for the most part. After all, I have learned the Dao of Teleportation.”
“Oh! Right, I forgot,” the senior said. “Then I don’t think I will have much to worry about at all.”
Alex nodded. “I will take my leave for now,” he said. “I will come back in 3 days after we’ve rested a bit and then we can leave for the Western Continent.”
“Alright, I will wait for you all then,” the senior said.
Alex walked back to Scarlet to see if she wanted to leave as well.
“I know where to go. I will go there later with senior here if he wishes to,” Scarlet said. “For now, I will stay here.”
“Alright then,” Alex said and turned to leave. He saw Hao Ya standing by her master and wondered for a moment.
“Sister Hao, if you don’t have anything else to do, why don’t you come with me and my family to relax on our farm for the next 3 days? You’ve worked a lot and surely you want to get away from it all,” he asked.
Hao Ya hadn’t even thought about that. She turned to her Master who nodded. “He’s right. You should take a break. You’ve worked without a break for so very long,” he said.
“Should I?” she wondered.
“You should,” Alex told her.
“Alright then,” Hao Ya said. “I will take a break.”
The two of them left the mansion and arrived outside. “Can you call Ronron and see if they’ve already left by any chance?” he asked.
“Sure,” Hao Ya said and called Ronron.
Alex took the phone once she picked up and asked where she was. “Oh, I’m in the train station. I’m sending away grandpa and grandaunt to her home right now,” Ronron said.
“Oh, then stay in the station and wait, we will be there in a few minutes,” Alex told her and hung up.
The two of them reached the train station about 10 minutes later and found Ronron sitting by a bench with Pearl in her lap and Whisker on her head.
“Whisker? Didn’t you go with father?” Alex asked after arriving.
Whisker shook his head.
“Grandpa said he wanted Whisker to stay with me. He had no reason to go with him anyway,” Ronron answered.
“I suppose,” Alex thought. “What about Frank and Lilin?”
“Oh, they left early. I got them their ticket, which turned out to be free actually, and got them a phone as you said before sending them away,” Ronron explained.
“Where were they going?” Alex asked.
“To Peachpit city in the west,” Ronron said. “He said he had a home there, but I’m worried he won’t have one.”
“Don’t worry about him, he’s an adult and can handle himself,” Alex said. “Oh right, did you see Matt? He should have come with his wife.”
“That guy from the big sect? I remember seeing him get here a few batches before our own,” Ronron said. “He must have taken the train to the other train station that was closest to them. I came here because it was so crowded there.”
“I see,” Alex said. “Well, let’s not worry about them then. Go buy 3 tickets and we can leave.”
“3? Is big sis coming along too?” Ronron asked with wide eyes.
“Yes, I’m coming along,” Hao Ya said.
“Wow! Did you finally complain to master like I said you should? Let me know if you want me to say something too,” Ronron said.
Hao Ya smiled a bit. “I didn’t need to do such a thing,” she said. “He told me to go as soon as your father brought up the topic of vacation.”
“Ooh, nice. Thank you father, you have no idea how long it must have been before sister Hao had a chance to take a break,” Ronron said.
“I understand, now go get us the ticket,” Alex said.
Ronron giggled and ran away to the counter while Alex sat by Pearl. “I think I found a way to help you, buddy,” he said.
“Huh? Help me? How?” Pearl asked curiously.
“It involves the ritual for evolution back in the beast realm,” Alex told him. “The senior says the chances of success will be high, but I’m still not convinc–“
“Will I become strong again if I succeed?” Pearl asked.
“If it works, absolutely,” Alex said.
“Then I will do it,” Pearl said with a firm resolution. “Help me get there, brother.”
“I will,” Alex said. “3 days later, the first thing we will do after going to the Western Continent is go to the Beast Realm and ask them for help with your ritual.”
