Chapter 2329 Success

Success wasn't something Alex expected to gain immediately, so when he eventually failed, he did not let it sour his mood.

With one Spiritual root wasted, he moved on to the next one he had. Half a day later, he failed there as well. He did, however, learn from each of his two failures, so the next one was most likely going to take him closer to his desired answer.

Since he was out of the old man's Spiritual root to test on, he walked out to meet him and told him the situation.

"You want me to regrow my spiritual root?" he asked.

"Yes," Alex said, revealing the two spiritual roots he had used up. "I ended up changing them but they are still not right. I need to tweak my recipes a few more times until I get the energy right, and then you can eat it. But until then, I need to test it outside."

"Can you not test it on me?" the old man asked.

Alex could only shake his head in answer. "If you were a normal Immortal, I could make nullifying pills to go along with the test pills so that any effect would be reverted. However, since you are a False Divinity, the chances of the pills working on you are ever random. We cannot take the chance on them."

"Right, pill veins," the old man said.

Alex nodded.

The old man then agreed to let Alex harvest his spiritual roots for his testing. It only took him half a day to get it back anyway, so there was not much issue with that.

Once the spiritual roots were back in place, Alex cut off both of them and took them with him to test them with the new pill ideas he had.

He had already spent months in this place, trying to get his hands on those feathers. He wasn't going to spend any more time here than necessary.

After a bit of thinking, he came to a conclusion on what he needed to do. It was a waste of money, but if it saved time, then it was worth it.

"I hope 3 pills are more than enough," Alex thought and began. He held one of the pills in his hand and poured a copy of its energy back into it. As the energy flowed into the pill, it grew stronger and stronger until it reached near perfection.

Right before it became perfect, Alex stopped, stopping all energy from being put into it. The pill was stuck at 99%.

Alex put the pill aside and took the other two, doing the same with them as well. He stopped right before he reached 100%.

Upon reaching 99% with all 3 pills, Alex had stopped the chances of pill clouds from forming. Without the pill clouds, there were going to be no pill veins.

That was because he did not intend for there to be pill veins in this pill. Pill lightning was an easy way to make a pill stronger than it really was. But it was not the only way.

Alex took a deep breath as he prepared himself and pulled out Memory once again, placing it in front of him. Then, he placed all 3 pills into Memory.

"Contain the energy, Memory," Alex said. "It might become difficult in a bit. Make sure to control it completely."

A vague sense of affirmation came from the cauldron, and that was all Alex needed to begin.

The pills spun in place, slowly scattering their compact powder all throughout the cauldron. There was heat involved in this process, but not a lot. Alex really just needed the energy in the pill to escape.

Within a minute, all 3 pills had been turned to powder, and all that remained in the vast cauldron was the energy of 3 different pills he had made. Now, the time had come to make the energy stronger. Now, it was time to fuse all of the 3 pills together.
