Chapter 2209 Great Tranquility Pill
The first thing that went through Alex's mind was that he couldn't believe the Alchemy God was not only openly displaying where his knowledge of Alchemy came from but also was asking others to show the books if they had it.
Given that, there were 3 books in total and he only had one, the chances that one of these Alchemists had another one of the books was sufficient enough for him to see that here.
Then the next thing went through his mind, which was anticipation for another one of the Alchemy God's books to come out during this assembly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His head turned all around the place, a part of him expecting to see someone pull the books out. He did not even consider that people could be intending to hide it if they had it. He was a little overwhelmed at the moment from the surprise.
The other half of him hoped, even prayed, that no books would come out. He didn't want someone to hide the book if they had it, but rather he entirely hoped that they didn't have it at all. It was a selfish thought to have, but he wanted those books for himself.
Not only the missing two but also the one that the Alchemy God had in his hands at this very moment. One way or another, he wanted that book. He would need to be incredibly strong and capable in Alchemy to even begin to prepare for something like that, so it was a while before he needed to worry about that.
The Alchemy God looked around for a while. "If you are being shy, do not be. If you worry about it being taken away, there are thousands of witnesses here right before you."
"You may consider me to be the sole authority here, but I am not. These two behind me are the Formation God and Artifact God, who have both come to help me with the tournament."
The words caused another stir that was simply too great for most of the participants. They were already shocked to have seen the Alchemy God and now they were seeing the Formation God and the Artifact God as well?
Alex looked to the back, noticing the broad-shouldered man and the beautiful older woman, having to wonder only for a moment who was who. He had heard about the Formation Monarch and knew him to be a male. So the female had to be the Artifact God.
He had absolutely expected gods to be present in this tournament, but he thought of them staying hidden in some invisible tower far away, watching it all through their Divine sense.
He did not expect them to come to watch so openly. Although, the rest could still be true.
Alex looked at the others that were gathered aside from Mo Duguan. He saw an older woman wearing a stark white robe and wondered who she was. There were others too there, but they hid behind a half-haze, both appearing to be there and yet remaining hidden.
The Alchemy God spoke again, grabbing everyone's attention back to him.
"I cannot take away your treasure without all the gods condemning me for my actions," the Alchemy God said. "So please, if you have the treasure, reveal it to us. It is a matter of great importance for all of the human realms that we make the best use of the books we can."

The recipe continued with the description of how the pill was going to have to be made, but that wasn't the focus point of the recipe at the moment.
Alex looked at the ingredients he needed, a total of 14 ingredients. There were a total of 7 Immortal ingredients in there, while the rest of the 7 were Saint ingredients.
That was an unusual ratio of Immortal to Saint pill for most pills. Usually, Immortal ingredients would be around 2 or 3 of the total ingredients, while the rest of the Saint ingredients would be there to push the Immortal ingredient to do its thing.
But here, it was half and half. He could tell from just the ingredients alone that he was going to have a difficult time making a great pill out of this.
