"I'm missing three myself," Alex said, continuing the conversation. "I don't know where I can find two of them."

"What are you missing?" Aethersage asked.

"White Ascension Flower, Emerald Raven's tail feathers, and shell of some Immortal Jade Locusts," Alex said. "The only thing I know where I can possibly find it is the locust shells."

"Oh!" Aethersage said in complete surprise. "You have one of mine."

"I need that flower too," Aethersage said. "I also need some Golden Spring Lotus, blood of a Five-Tailed Sword Snake, and eggs of a Wing Demon Frog."

Alex perked up upon hearing the names. "I know where 2 of those are," he said. "Or wait, one of those."

"Huh? Which one?" Aethersage asked.

"The Golden Spring Lotus can be found in the Whole Rose Garden. I saw it while I was there, so hopefully they still are," Alex said.

"Whole Rose Garden? Okay. I should go there next."
