Chapter 2349 Complete
Three Pill Lightnings. That was all Alex dared to fight back at this moment for a pill that was so important. After he defended against the third Pill Lightning, he immediately sent away the Pill Clouds, wanting nothing more.
In a place like this, he didn't want to show off much more than that anyway. He had made a pill with three pill veins last time, so he did the same this time as well.
A wave of jubilation came from Memory after the Pill Clouds dispersed. The cauldron was happy that they had succeeded, no different from a small child jumping for joy at having done something successfully.
Alex smiled at the emotions he felt from the cauldron. Each day, it became stronger and stronger. He wouldn't be surprised if Memory suddenly began speaking in two more days, but he knew deep in his heart that it would still take many more years. He would have to feed it as much energy as it could handle in the future.
Alex opened the lid next, and the pill flew out into his palm. The dark-green pill had specks of gold littered around it, surrounded by three black pill veins that covered its surface.
There was no need to check how good the pill was. The pill veins were indication enough. Alex could only feel a wave of relief flow through him as he finally completed the pill.
He didn't immediately stand up to leave. Having made the pill, the knowledge of the energy and ingredients was still fresh in his mind, so he remained there for a while to understand them all to the best of his capacity.
The Grand Tranquility Pill, as he now understood, was incredible at helping someone comprehend a Dao or Intent-or whatever else one might need a clear mind for.
It helped speed up one's thoughts as well as give them more spiritual energy to think through things for a longer period of time. Unlike other pills that did similar things, however, this one didn't put one in a trance.
It gave the user control over their own faculties while simply improving their mental capacity. It was a pill that could even be used during battle or an intense situation where one needed greater awareness and understanding of the moment.
That made it so much better.
Alex took a long moment to try and come up with various other ingredients he could use instead of this set of 14 ingredients, and he came up with a few. The Golden Mind Chrysanthemum was something he couldn't change, but everything else could be swapped for one thing or another.
After understanding as much, Alex left the room and made his way to get the pill
10:15
Alex smiled and waited for her to study it completely.
After judging the pill for a whole minute, she gestured for him to hand over the talisman next. She took it, gave it one glance, and handed both the talisman and the
pill back.
"You're done. You have passed the first competition," she said.
Alex took both items back and looked at her blankly. "Do I get to keep the pill?" he asked. Ile had been under the assumption the entire time that, since it was for the
competition, he would have to hand over the pill.
"You found the ingredients and made the pill. It's yours," the woman said.
"I see. Thank you, Reverend Mo,"
"You can go to the room next door and let them know that you passed. They will handle everything else that needs to be done"
Alex nodded and thanked her one last time before leaving. He felt quite happy having passed the first competition. With this, a huge burden had been lifted, and he no longer needed to worry each day about whether or not he would make it in time. He arrived at the next room, where he went through a few procedures to get rid of both his medallion and Pearl's medallion, finally becoming free.
He had to swear a new oath here, however, promising that he wouldn't hand over the task of training his disciple to someone else. He had to be the one who taught her
completely.
This meant Alex couldn't let Whisker teach her anymore. After brief contemplation, Alex realized he was fine with that.
So, he quickly swore the oath and was finally done with it all.
