Silvermist's words hung in the air for a long time, neither he nor Alex saying anything to it.
Silvermist was just happy to have finally spoken out loud his feelings to someone else, someone who might understand him a bit more than Grimsight, someone who was an alchemist.
Meanwhile, Alex was simply stunned speechless at the fact that his master was aiming for something so grand. In the first place, Alex wasn't even sure if the Dao of Alchemy existed or not. He had cultivated for so long and had made pills the entire time, and yet he had not even felt an inkling of gaining the Dao of Alchemy.
His master searched for it, but he hadn't succeeded yet.
"Dao of Alchemy," Alex finally said after a while. "Does it really exist?"
Silvermist raised an eyebrow. "Of course," he answered. "Why wouldn't it exist?"
