Chapter 428 - Cold Pill

BOOM

There was a giant explosion in the secret treasury and luckily for Adam, the other items in there were extremely durable that they were not destroyed and that the walls of the treasury were enough to handle the explosion.

However, the same couldn't be said for himself who had been launched crashing into the wall and blurted out a curdle of blood from the impact.

Meanwhile, there had been a small earthquake on the land above and Angela and Elizabeth were wondering where Adam had gone and what was taking him so long.

It all started when Adam began using the Amalgamation Art that he could use on instinct after it was integrated into his mind, soul and body by the system.

He had to use his physical form to form a large and powerful enough flame within the cauldron using a large amount of his Internal Energy, then place the herbs and plants within the cauldron.

Then he had to quickly switch to his Soul Form and use the Amalgamation Art and finding the right point was extremely difficult, especially with so many different herbs and plants.

You could think of it as all the herbs and plants were moving in a circular motion at different speeds and he had to find the point where they were all at the same position in the circle.

In that instant, he would have to fuse all the energy and medicinal properties of all the herbs and plants, then revert back to his Physical Form to provide even more Fire Energy for the refining process.

The Amalgamation Art was one that was incredible, but equally as difficult to use and nobody else other than Adam would be able to use such a technique, as it required such incredible perceptivity and required one to be able to switch from a Physical Form to Soul form at will in an instant.

Adam had managed to pull it off and usually when forming a pill there would be some smoke or other form of commotion, however, the powerful explosion that the pill Adam formed released was shockingly powerful.

If he hadn't managed to activate his Defensive Techniques in the instant he had before he slammed against the wall, his spine was likely to have been broken by such an impact.

Taking a moment to recover and calm down, Adam got up and opened his eyes to find a light blue pill resting in the centre of the cauldron.

Along with that, it was releasing an incredibly powerful cold energy and aura that was causing the entire room to begin the freeze over.

"This damned pill causing me such trouble, I underestimated how difficult the process would be. She better pull off the transformation of her energy to Ice Energy" mumbled Adam to himself as he placed the pill in the inventory so that it didn't lose its value.

He couldn't even pick it up with his hands and placed it straight into the inventory without touching it, which he was able to do as long as it was within his range and wasn't in contact with any living being.

With the pill prepared, Adam headed straight to Angela and found that she had recovered all of her energy storages and was ready and eager to begin.

She was unsure where exactly Adam had gone, what he was doing or how he was going to provide her with enough Cold Energy to transform her Water Energy into Ice Energy, but she trusted and believed in him.

"I found a pill while going out on a walk and I think it might help you," said Adam as he returned to the sparring room.

Angela knew that he was obviously joking and Elizabeth had come by her to ask where Adam was as he had been gone for a while when he was preparing himself to form the pill.

She also mentioned that he had taken all of the plants and herbs with Cold Energy, so it was quite clear that Adam also had the capabilities of an alchemist.

'Just what can't that man do' wondered both Angela and Elizabeth.

Angela didn't say anything as she knew that Adam preferred it that way as giving details was always something that he would do when he believed it was necessary or they were capable enough to hear them.

"Prepare yourself for immense pain. I will be sitting behind you and if you ever feel as though you are losing consciousness, focus on my presence and don't give in. If you do, you are likely to die" he stated.

"Open your mouth and a pill will appear there when you are ready to begin. Immediately swallow it and do not allow yourself to be overwhelmed by it. You will be bombarded with cold energy and an ordinary person would die just by holding the pill for a few seconds and even Master Cultivators would die from ingesting it. However, I believe you can handle it, so get ready" stated Adam.

He gave her some time to relax and after a few minutes, withdrew the pill from his inventory and chose for it to appear within Angela's mouth who was within his range of 1 metre.

Angela was shocked for an instant as although she trusted Adam and knew that he was extremely capable, a pill appearing in her mouth out of nowhere was shocking and hard to believe.

However instantly, her tongue began and her mouth began to freeze over and her instincts and reflexes urged her to spit it out, but she trusted Adam and swallowed it down.

Adam had his hands on her back and was observing everything that was occurring.

As soon as she swallowed the pill, it dissolved and a wave of Cold Energy spread all around her, while most of it coursed through her bloodstream and energy pathways.

Blood began to rise through her throat and her meridians, energy pathways, dantian and internal organs were being overwhelmed by the extreme amount of Cold Energy that entered her body, but Angela was surprisingly managing to stay calm.
