Chapter 2100 Passing the Ownership

Alex didn't make Grimsight immediately swear an oath. Before they did anything, before he accepted their offer to join, he needed to take them to the Blue Silk sect to have them get vetted by the sect master.

He couldn't trust himself to make a judgment here, so he needed someone else's input. If Thunderspine thought they were okay to take Alex along, then he would accept and get Grimsight to say the oaths.

That whole thing would happen a year later though, and for now, Alex focused entirely on his store and making pills. He had 360 different 99% pills to make, so he couldn't let his attention waver.

Pearl returned to the Timeless Palace for the time being since he had to come out in a hurry. Both Alex and Emily on the inside had more or less gotten used to their lives on the inside.

Although, to them, not even 20 days had passed since they entered. It was absolutely wild how much time was being dilated on the inside of that palace. It was a miracle the place hadn't entirely run out of Qi by now.

He was rather curious why it could do what it did on just Saint Qi, but there was no way to get an answer from out here. There were some very fine-tuned scripts drawn onto the Spirit veins themselves. Alex didn't have a way of checking that, not even with Pearl.

So, he could only ignore that for now.

Wang Yanwei took some time to get back to work. She took a few days to rest and get back on her feet and quickly moved past everything that had happened to her.

She went back into putting all of herself into her work, slowly improving each day. She had suddenly lost her status as the best Alchemist in the store, so she had to work extra hard.

Rocksoul and Fang Yuxie were inspired by Alex's results as well, and they did their best to improve as much as they could.

Alex helped them too when he had the chance, taking time out of his more or less free day to teach them. The rest of the time was focused simply on making those 360 pills. He barely spent any of his time on cultivation at all. The only time he cultivated was to get back his Qi, not to improve.

"Since we started this together, I want you to take it," Alex said, handing over Fang Yuxie the documents to the store. "Henceforth, you are the owner of Dawn Apothecary."

Fang Yuxie wasn't a woman to get sentimental, but at this moment, she couldn't help but sniffle a little. "Are you sure I am the right choice? I'm not even that good an Alchemist," she said.

"You're not, I know," Alex said. "Not yet anyway. But you will be. One day."

She couldn't help but smile. "How many millennia would I have to wait?"

"Not millennia, just a few centuries, if that," Alex said. "I have taught you a lot this past decade, sister Yuxie, and you have done well to learn it all. But I have not taught you everything."

Fang Yuxie's eyes perked up. "What do you mean?"

Alex looked at Fang Yuxie and then at the rest of the people who were gathered there for his farewell.

"Before I leave," he said. "Before I am gone from this world, I will come back and I will give you one last thing. I won't tell you what that is right now. You will just have to wait for it."

Wang Yanwei narrowed her eyes. "You're going to leave us guessing?" she asked.

"I suppose I have to," he said. "Or else you all might just forget about me."

"Impossible, boss," Rocksoul said. "I will never forget you."

Alex gave one last smile. "That is what I hope from every one of you," he said. "I will come back in a few decades to check on all of you. Until then, this is farewell."
