Chapter 1929 Improving Memory

Chapter 1929 Improving Memory

While Alex wondered if he could, in some way, be considered an accomplice in Bai Wanzhao's death, Elder Lan seemed to have an entirely different mindset.

"You killed him?" he asked.

"What?"

Alex was pulled away from his own thought and back into reality. It took a moment for him to process what he heard, and as soon as he did, he quickly shook his head.

"No, no, I did not," he answered.

Elder Lan looked back at the recipe in his hand. "But this recipe, it..."

Alex could understand what the man was thinking.

"I got that recipe from Bai Wanzhao," Alex explained. "He was the one who gave me that recipe and asked me to make that pill. I already swore an oath that I wasn't the one who killed Bai Wanzhao."

Elder Lan paused and finally nodded. "I suppose I am overthinking," he said. "You did swear an oath. Never mind me then. Poor young Bai must have made some mix-up that led to his death. Unfortunate, but not your fault."

Alex nodded.

"I'll see you when you start then. Go ahead and rest for now."

After leaving the Elder's Hall, Alex returned back to his place where he no longer felt as though he had enough energy to try and experiment with Memory.

Memory would have to wait to absorb more energy. For now, Alex simply wanted to go cultivate for a while.

While cultivating, Alex wondered about the death of Bai Wanzhao, and how he had come to die. A single, simple mistake as having the wrong pill led to his death.

Alex was at least happy that it wasn't because his pill wasn't good enough. It was just a wrong recipe.

Given the intensity of Immortal ingredients, everything had to wait.

After throwing away the powder, Alex sunk his senses into Memory, trying to understand just what it was that was happening with the cauldron.

There were no signs at first at all. Memory seemed to have gone completely unconscious after consuming all the energy. But as Alex waited, he began sensing energy escaping from all around Memory.

He couldn't just sense the energy, he could even see it. Multicolored aura escaped from Memory, visible thanks to his Demon Eyes.

The aura that left wasn't as orderly as the energy Memory had absorbed. It wasn't as potent and neither was it as mixed. The energies had more or less separated from the final version, and what escaped were pieces of it.

And lastly, the thing that surprised Alex the most was that the energy that escaped from Memory was a lot less... elemental.

They were purer now, albeit a lot less potent, so Memory was absorbing a lot of it. And it was absorbing both the energy and the essence of the energy.

Alex could only wonder what was happening with Memory and wanted to go ask Elder Lan. But then, he didn't want to tell anyone about Memory. He didn't believe what was going on to be a singular event that only happened to him, but what if there was a requirement?

What if for this to happen, the cauldron had to come across multiple Pill lightning? How was Alex going to explain that?

'Hopefully, I can soon find something on my own that explains this,' Alex thought. Even as he hoped that he did have a hint at exactly what was happening. It was easy to see.

Memory was absorbing energy, and thus improving. If let continue, Memory will most certainly improve.

What he didn't know was if the improvement would come to the Cauldron itself or to the spirit within it. Would the improvement be for both?

Whatever the case, it was an improvement, and Alex would welcome any improvement that came his way. The only question he had now was if he could do something similar to Midnight as well.

He would most certainly test and see if Midnight could absorb any energy, but Alex saw no possibility of that from the start.

'It doesn't matter,' he thought. 'I'll find more than one way to make you all stronger.'
