339 Warning! Trouble Ahead!

After taking care of Charya, Alex went back to his house.

"Anna, Evelyn will come here and train. Help me take care of her since I might be a little busy."

"Of course. Leave her to me." Anna said with a smile.

Alex nodded. He then went to his room and entered his Simulation Room.

He was planning to practice making the Crystal Skin Pill. But before he arrived at the simulation world again, Alex came to his furnace.

He drew an array inside the furnace. The array was called Separation Array. It was basically a barrier type array but with Space and Fire elements involved.

It made special small rooms for the ingredients to enter the array and trapped the ingredients there.

Alex immediately separated them to the maximum, which was ten small rooms. The room would give the best room condition for Alex to refine the medicinal ingredients, thus decreasing the chance of impurities and increasing the refinement speed.

And with ten small rooms inside, he could prepare ten medicinal ingredients at the same time faster. This was the array that he found useful for his current condition from his new knowledge.

This was only a rank 4 Array. If he could make a rank 5 Separation Array, he would be able to make twenty small rooms. At that time, his refining speed would become even more absurd. And he only needed to make a slight adjustment with his Spiritual Energy if he needed to refine a different type of material. It was a very handy array.

After making the array, he entered his Simulation Room. There were eight medicinal ingredients for the Crystal Skin Pill. But Alex immediately tossed them inside as the medicinal ingredients entered a separate room.

When Alex used his fire, the array also activated. Each room provided the best condition that suited the unique characteristics of the medicinal ingredients. And with his new knowledge, he could utilize his fire precisely so he could refine the ingredients faster.

At the same time, The array drained the impurity from the ingredients. So, Alex did not need to do this process after refining the pill because the array already drained everything needed to drain. He immediately opened the array and merged them together.

And surprisingly, he managed to refine two Crystal Skin Pills with a set of ingredients for his first time. And it also had 80% purity. This never happened every time he practiced. Usually, if he was practicing a few pills that could give birth to a few pills from one set of ingredients. He could only make one of them, and one of them would be ruined. But this time, he finished both of them with the same quality.

Alex was still a bit unfamiliar with the knowledge. He had been sorting it every now and then since even if he got the knowledge, he was still clueless which one was useful and which one was not. He needed a bit more time to sort everything inside his head.

After finishing the first pill, he immediately tried the second pill, then the third pill, and so on. Before he knew it, he managed to make a perfect Crystal Skin Pill constantly. And it only took him a day.

Because he was too immersed in this, he forgot about his appointment with Evelyn.

He immediately went out of his Simulation Room and came outside. He saw Evelyn was sparring with Anna. It seemed Anna took care of his job when he was too immersed in the Simulation Room.

But when Alex came out, they noticed his presence. They stopped and came to Alex. "Thank you, Anna."

"Don't worry, I can take care of her if you are busy."

"Nah, I need to work out a little bit. So…" Alex glanced at Evelyn.

Her body shook with just her glance as she knew she would experience the demonic training once again. Well, Evelyn was almost a 6-Star Martial Grandmaster, so Alex was thinking about letting her use Gathering Array.

It might be able to boost her to 9-Star or 10-Star Martial Grandmaster before the tournament started. Since she knew about Anna, Alex could just say that Anna asked her acquaintance to make an Array for them.

Well, if that were not effective, Alex would just ask Charya to lie to her. Since Maxwell did not seal Charya's memory, she should understand him and convince Evelyn about it.

It was true that he killed both Eric and Intan, and they were strong. He understood their strength after he fought him. But he never regretted killing them.

Although he did not need to repay the sect for this, he decided to train Evelyn as Putri's substitute for the Grandmaster Tournament.

…

Two weeks had passed, Alex continued to train Evelyn. He made her train her sword technique fiercely. Of course, he made sure her cultivation progressed.

She managed to advance to 6-Star Martial Grandmaster in these two weeks. Since she had been on the verge of a breakthrough, it was easy for her to breakthrough to 6-Star Martial Grandmaster, especially with the help of Alex's rank 4 Gathering Array.

Of course, Alex did not spend all his time on her. He drank his wine a few times and managed to have a breakthrough to 2-Star Martial Lord. He also had refined 1400 Crystal Skin Pills. Since each set could make two pills, Alex only had to refine another 300 sets.

He was sitting while watching Evelyn progress. Suddenly, Anna informed him.

"Alex, Nelson wants to talk with you." Anna came to him and handed Nelson's card to him.

Alex grabbed the card, "Thanks."

"Nelson, what do you want to talk with me?"

"Since I know that Young Master is the person that the princess of Rainbow Flower Sect searched for. I think I should mention this to you."

"What is it? Did they break apart the alliance with Mount Hua Sect?" Alex asked casually.

"Yes."

"I see." Alex had expected something like this. Especially since there was no point in keeping the alliance because he came from Heavenly Sword Sect.

"And I feel, she will come to-!"

"Alex, Njomo want to talk with you." Anna came again and gave him Njomo's card.

Alex was startled since both of them wanted to talk at the same time. He grabbed Njomo's card, and suddenly Njomo spoke, "Woof Woof Woof! Woof Woof!"

"…" Of course, Alex never understood Njomo's language. But Nelson suddenly said, "Yes. It seems my prediction is right. Njomo said, 'she is coming toward the Heavenly Sword Sect with the sect master.' They will arrive in four or five days.

"I assume she wants to make an alliance with Heavenly Sword Sect. Of course, their target will be you."

"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows. He certainly was too lazy to meet her and dealt with this kind of thing. And even if she wanted to marry him or something, the sect master of Heavenly Sword Sect, Xiang Bai, would not let her. Or at least, he will ask Alex's opinion first. After all, the worth of rank 6 Array, Alex, and Maxwell were far higher than the worth of the entire Rainbow Flower Sect.

But he might need to meet her for formality, and he did not want it. Alex might need to shift his schedule a little bit.

"Anna, you take care of Evelyn. I am going to be busy for these few days." Alex said.

"Understood." Anna nodded. She knew Alex was going to avoid her, and since the timing was close to the auction, he got a perfect excuse for that.

And as she had expected, Alex was finishing the refinement of Crystal Skin Pills. Even Evelyn was confused when she did not see Alex for a few days.

Anna only said to her that he wanted to go to the Thiveapia Kingdom earlier. Evelyn was even more confused when she said that. Nonetheless, she was happy that Alex seemed eager to see her kingdom. Never did she know that Alex only wanted to avoid a certain problem.

…

Three days later,

Alex came out of the house.

"Alex?" Anna and Evelyn came to him since he finally finished refining the Crystal Skin Pills.

"I am going out for a while. Evelyn, you should wash yourself first since we will go to the Thiveapia Kingdom today."

"Ye-yes!" Anna already told her about the shift on the schedule. So, she immediately came back to Song Yu's house.

"I am going to cash in the pills first in the Alchemist Guild. You wake Sherry and Kyle up. Tell them we are going on a trip." Alex said to Anna.

Anna nodded her head.

Alex then put his mask on as he went to the Alchemist Guild in the Heavenly Sword Town. When he arrived in the Alchemist Guild, a young girl who seemed to be a receptionist, immediately greeted him.

"Can I help you?"

Alex did not want to beat around the bush. He immediately took out his rank 4 Alchemist Badge, albeit only a bronze badge. But it was enough to catch the attention of this receptionist.

"Esteemed Alchemist, how may I help you?" Even though she was surprised, she immediately acted as polite as possible.

"I want to sell pills."

"I will inform the elders about this. Please wait a little bit, esteemed Alchemist." She then went somewhere before coming back with an old man. The elder was trying to see through him but to no avail. Since he put his mask on, the elder could not perceive Alex's cultivation or his face.

"I am mid 4th rank alchemist. I will be the one who checks your pill's condition."

Alex took out a bottle that contained twenty perfect purity Crystal Skin Pills and gave it to him.

When the elder opened the bottle, he was shocked to see twenty perfect purity mid 4th rank pills. But he heard from the alchemist that he was a low 4th rank Alchemist and to make these pills… His body shook as he knew Alex's skill was above him. Even he could not make so many perfect purity mid 4th rank pills.

"We can buy each pill for 20,000 Spirit Stones. So, it will be a total of 400,000 Spirit Stones for this bottle." He said politely.

"I want to sell a hundred bottle, can you take it?" Alex asked.

"What? A hundred bottles… A few months ago… we received an influx of Tempered Muscle Pills… Don't tell me…"

"I am the one who provided her," Alex said casually. "I only ask if you can take all of it or not? If not, I will go somewhere else."

"Of course, we can take all of it. If it was a few months ago, we could not take it since we don't have enough Spirit Stones. But we get an increase in the budget just for you. So, we can take all of them." He immediately said. He was sweating when Alex pressed an answer. After all, a customer like Alex was precious.

He did not care about Alex's low 4th rank Alchemist anymore. After all, Alex might get it a few years ago, and he had yet to take the rank advancement.

When Alex heard that, he nodded. At first, he wanted to sell the pills to Heavenly Sword Sect, but it seemed, selling all of his pills in this place would be better. After all, even this wealthy guild might not be able to buy all of it if they did not get an increase in budget.

Well, Alex also thought of another thing. He looked at the elder who was sweating profusely. Having a status was really convenient since he could even do something like this.

"Please come this way, I will lead you to the guild master since the scale of the transaction is bigger than my responsibility."

Alex nodded his head, and the elder guided him to a room. Inside the room, Alex could see a very old man. He already lost all of his hair, and it seemed it was already hard to open his eyes.

"Welcome." He said with a low voice.
