Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 1920

Chapter 1920 The Pills

Alex arrived at Liao Xumei's house the very next day and walked to the back to find a very nervous Liao Xumei waiting for him.

"You're finally here!"

Liao Xumei sighed and walked toward Alex. "I want to take it back. I can't stand the thought of those ingredients being wasted. Please, I'll get you some other ingredients if you want to practice Alchemy, but I need those ingredients from yesterday back."

Alex paused, looked her in the eyes, and shrugged. "I'm sorry, I already used those. You agreed yesterday that you would give it to me."

Liao Xumei was devastated. "You... used it already?" she asked.

Alex nodded. "That was our agreement," he said.

Liao Xumei felt all her hard work and motivation slip right out of her physical body. There was nothing she wanted more than to just drop to the ground and lie there like a dead person.

"No!" she shouted softly, a low growl escaping her throat. Just like a beast.

Alex was a little surprised. 'Wait a second,' he thought. 'Is she really a descendant of a demon? Or is she a descendant of a beast?'

The small budding horns gave little indication, but the growl made Alex think she was more a beast than a demon.

"Fine," she said in the end. "Just give me the ring. I'll see if I can sell it and get enough—"

Liao Xumei stopped midsentence to quickly catch the pill bottle that was thrown toward her. She looked at it and then up at Alex. "What is this?" she asked.

"Your pills," Alex answered. "I never said I failed."

"You... you passed?"

Liao Xumei opened the pill bottle and saw 3 light blue pills inside, all giving off a very pleasant aroma. "This... this is the pill I wanted." She took one out to look at it closely. She wanted to make sure she wasn't being lied to.

A pill tester appeared from her Soul Space, one that looked very different than what Alex was used to, but essentially followed the same mechanic as all pill testers he was used to.

He watched the woman put the pill into the tester and wait as the result was shown on top of it.

"I appreciate what you've done for me," the woman said. "I'll help you out too. I'll tell the others that you can make pills for them if they need to. Given how much an outside Alchemist costs, they will be more than happy to ask you for the job."

"Fantastic!" Alex said.

He continued working for some time before leaving the house to go to the valley. He had given Liao Xumei 3 of the pills he had made, but he had made 4 in total.

So, he needed to sell the 4th one.

Alex arrived at a small pill shop in the valley, run by some Elder he had seen here before, but never bothered to learn the name. He stayed in a line for a while before he was at the front.

"I would like to sell a pill, Elder," Alex said. "A Silver Snake Vine poison antidote pill."

The Elder nodded. "Sure, show me the pill."

Alex handed over a pill bottle and the Elder pulled it out. His eyebrows raised a little when he saw the pill, and then put it into a pill tester in front of him.

It showed a Harmony of 79%.

"I can give you 380 Contribution points for this pill," the Elder said after a moment of thought.

It was a shame that Alex could not sell the pill for Spirit stones, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't leave the sect to sell it just yet, and the sect liked circulating itsowncurrency instead of actual Spirit Stones.

"Can I request for ingredients instead?" Alex asked.

"Yes, you can do that," the Elder said.

Alex quickly named a few ingredients from a recipe he had already begun collecting the ingredients of and the elder pulled it out one by one. By the time he had collected all the ingredients, Alex still had about 100 Contribution points remaining.

He chose to take the remaining points instead and use them later when he needed them.

"Thank you, Elder."

Once he had everything he wanted, he left.

Alex arrived back at his courtyard sometime later and immediately went to make another pill once again.
