By luck, Alex receives the Inheritance of the Alchemy God as his reward. Using that inheritance and masters that care for him, Alex begins to learn about the new world he has found himself in while pursuing both Alchemy and Cultivation to the pinnacle.

Whisker walked up to Alex from the side. He had been waiting for Alex here ever since he failed to get anything out of the other two buildings.
He climbed up Alex's shoulders, looking at the two of them. "Did something happen?" he asked.
"I wish something did," Pearl said. "That is what we had been hoping for. The problem is nothing happened."
"Oh…" Whisker said.
"It's alright," Alex said. "We knocked down one more possibility for where the treasure was being hidden. That is the most we can ask."
Pearl thought for a bit and nodded. "Exiting the Maze is not the way to finding the treasure then, and that's alright. We'll find other ways."
Alex nodded. "Should we go to the other two places right now or do you want to wait for a bit?" he asked.
"Let's go in. We can wait at a dead end. It doesn't feel right waiting in the open here," Pearl said. As he said that, he looked back. "Brother…"
"Yes?" Alex asked.
