Chapter 1970 The True Pill
The old woman turned to look at Alex with a weird look on her face. "We can't cut off his leg. He won't be able to heal until he reaches the Saint realm," the woman said.
Alex frowned in response. "Why can't you just heal him?" he asked.
The old woman couldn't understand why Alex was asking such simple questions. "Because his body can't handle the energy from a saint healing pill," the woman said.
Alex frowned even more. "Do you not have a True rank pill that can regrow limbs?" he asked the woman.
The woman looked at Alex sharply. "Making pills that can work on True realm cultivators are hard to come by, especially ones where they need to have enough energy to heal their limbs. There are a few alchemy guilds that have these, but they haven't shared their recipes with others."
Alex thought for a moment. "I have a recipe for that," he said. "It can heal any missing limbs and organs."
"Really?" the old woman couldn't help but raise her voice in surprise. The rest of the people inside the room turned to look at her for a moment before looking away. "You are not lying, are you?"
"Of course not," Alex said. "I had once lost my arm when I was in the True realm and had to search around for nearly a decade to heal my arm. That was when I discovered the way to regrow my body using pills."
The old woman thought for a bit. "If you do have a recipe, then that will be amazing. We will discuss this later anyway. I should complete your test for now."
The old woman left the bed to another one and took Alex and the other man along with her to continue the test. The test lasted for another hour or so and she went through all the patients to see what the two could think of.
There were three other patients inside the room that could be healed immediately using the pill Alex talked about and the talk naturally came up again and again.
Once they were done through all the people in the room, the test was finally complete.
Alex and the other man were allowed to leave now that they were done with the test, but Alex was stopped and made to come along with the old woman.
After walking to a more secluded location, Alex saw two more people walk into the room. One of them was the Supreme Immortal Alchemist Han, and another one was an older man who seemed to be a supreme Immortal Alchemist as well.
"Oh? It's you," Alchemist Han said, recognizing Alex. He turned toward the woman. "What is this about pills to regrow True realm cultivator's body parts?"
"This young man says he has a recipe. I was hoping he would be willing to sell it to us," the old woman said.
"Oh! greetings, young man. What is your name?" the old man that had come in asked.
"Greetings, senior. I go by Dawnblade," Alex said.
"Young Dawnblade, is what my wife saying true?" the old man asked.
Alex looked at the old woman, realizing that they were a married couple. He quickly nodded. "I do have the recipe," he said. "Would you like you purchase it?"
"Of course," the old man said. "How much do you wish for it?"
Alex thought for a bit and shrugged. "I'll be honest, senior. I do not know the price of what such a recipe should cost. Considering the rarity, it should cost a bit, but I will let you decide. I'm sure you won't try to swindle me."
Alex's lack of knowledge about the market hurt him a bit here, and True pill recipes were certainly not that expensive. He had first planned on selling the pills alone, keeping the recipes for himself, but any good alchemist would be able to reverse- engineer the pill within months. It was better to just sell the recipe and take the money upfront.
"Of course," the old man said. "I would never try to swindle an excellent Alchemist like you. Would 800 Immortal Spirit stones for the recipe be enough? I know it's rare, but it is also a True pill, so I cannot imagine it costing more."
The cost was small, surely, but Alex was still surprised he would get so much for such a low-grade pill. "I'm willing to sell it for that price," he said. He quickly pulled out an empty talisman and wrote down the recipe he had come up with himself all the way back when he was in the Luminance Empire, while he was still in the Western Continent.
It was a point in time when he hadn't even found his mother yet. He had downgraded the recipe from a higher-rank pill recipe and thus created that recipe for himself.
Alex wrote down the recipe and handed it over to the old man. He did not fear that he would steal it. If he wanted it, he could just steal from Alex.
The man looked at the recipe and nodded slowly. "What do you think?" he asked as he handed it over to Alchemist Han.
Alchemist Han looked through the pill with a look of surprise crossing his face. "This last method of adding blood aura to an ingredient is interesting," he said softly. "I do believe it could work. We'll have to try it though."
He pulled on his leaf-life pendant and sent a message. Not long after, a young woman entered the room, her eyes filled with shock at the three people who were there. She handed Alchemist Han a storage bag and quickly bowed out of the room, but not before calling the old man 'guild master'.
Alex had known the old man was important, but to think he was the guild master of the guild.
Alchemist Han pulled out his cauldron and placed it on the ground. Then, he took a deep breath and flipped his hand. Suddenly, a deep orange fire with no other shade of color formed in his hand.
Alex felt the heat coming from the fire and knew it to be a unique fire.
Alchemist Han threw the unique fire below the cauldron, and it began burning. While the fire burned, he read the recipe one more time and began making the pill.
His hands moved swiftly, and the ingredients fell into the cauldron one after another.
Alex looked at the energy in the cauldron and was surprised to see the orange fire go around the cauldron, creating a layer on the top that didn't let the energy escape.
None of the energy leaked from the cauldron at all. When all the ingredients were thrown in, he made a hand gesture and the powder inside the cauldron quickly formed into a sphere.
The pill flew out of the cauldron and Alchemist Han caught it. Even without touching the pill, Alex could tell that the pill had at the very least 90% harmony.
He had made an incredible pill the very first time he read the recipe while using not-so-good ingredients.
Alex could see why the man was a Supreme grade Alchemist.
