Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2295

Chapter 2295 Sky Gold Jade Leaf

The Twilight Consuming Pill, which was worth 18 points, was made up of 13 different ingredients. One of those ingredients was a leaf with blue veins spreading across its green body, known as the Sky Gold Jade Leaf.

The Sky and Jade in the leaf's name came from the colors blue and green, while the word Gold came from the energy the leaf primarily had, Metal.

There were 10 such leaves packed into a single box in front of Alex at the moment, all the same. Except, they were not the same.

One of the leaves was not like the other.

While visually the leaf was identical, and even had a strong Metal aura to it, one of them was not the same leaf. It was a variant of the Sky Gold Jade Leaf, with a much lower Metal energy than the other ones.

It wasn't something that was generally supposed to exist and was very, very rare in most cases, which it was understandable if even Divine Realm cultivators could've missed it.

Hell, even Alex had missed it when he looked through the ingredients the first time around. It was only after he had brought it out, ready to turn it into a pill that he noticed the issue. And this was a major issue. This meant that the initial recipe for the pill would not give the same pill. It was difficult to say if following the recipe would even result in a stable pill.

Alex's mind was already spread into two other cauldrons at the same time, making 20 different pills at once, so he couldn't even spare a moment to a thought about what he had to do next.

Should he call for the staff? Should he stop making these pills? Would the competition restart just for him?

A dozen different thoughts ran through his mind, none unable to take hold of him. He didn't have the mental capacity to think of the issue right now.

Without thinking anymore, Alex put aside the Twilight Consuming Pill and pulled out another set of ingredients to make a 17-point pill called the Radiance Tearing Pill.

'I can do this. One way or another, I must.'

The ingredients separated beneath him, the set of 10s turning into a set of 9s, with one of each moving to the side.

Because of this, Alex was not only going to lose a chance to get 18 extra points but also end up with 100 fewer points as any set of pill ingredients not turned into a pill took away the points.

'Surely not here,' Alex thought. 'The staff made a mistake with this.'

He wasn't so sure that would be the case. He couldn't blame others for failing to check it beforehand himself.

'Ignore it,' he thought, looking toward Memory. 'I need to make these 9 pills first.'

The first set of ingredients flew into Memory and began being refined as it was ground up across the heated walls on the side.

The timer kept lowering without waiting for anyone. 'I don't have much time,' Alex thought with concern. His face showed nothing at all, but his heart beat faster and faster.

Less than 9 minutes, was that really enough? Was he sure that was enough? Not with this pill it was not.

'I need time,' Alex thought. 'I need help.'

He so very wished that he had learned the Dao of Temporal Stagnation by now so he could use it. If he could slow down time, then...

'I don't know the Dao,' Alex thought, a curious possibility coming to his mind. 'But I know the aura. Could I perhaps...?'
