Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Once Alex understood all the ingredients at its very core both physically and elementally, he could start looking through the scenarios in his mind on how they would work together.

Simulation of every possibility ran through his mind as he stopped dead still in front of the several Alchemists to take his time to think.

Several possibilities presented themselves, but Alex did not like the result. Surely the examiners cared about the results, so he continued on with his search.

He started noting down possible recipes while continuing to look through more.

As the simulations ran in his mind, an entire day passed in the outside. The Supreme Alchemists were starting to believe that something was wrong. They had pretty much given up on the thought that Alex was going to pass.

He was already taking so long with just this part of the test. What was he going to do when he had to take the more difficult one later on?

Time was a factor in these tests after all. They judged how quickly one completed the tests too.

Alex finally opened his eyes, a look of determination filling his face. He had selected just what pill it was that he was going to make.

He selected 13 of the ingredients and showed them to the alchemists before he started making the pill. He started putting in the ingredients one after another, taking a moment in between each step to make sure he was taking the correct step.

He was more or less on the right path with the pill, going through the 13 ingredients one at a time.

The Alchemists became curious as to what he was going to make. They saw the ingredients that were being put into the cauldron and began guessing on their own.

"Looks like he'll end up with a healing pill. Most of the ingredients are used in healing pills," one of them said.

"Only if he uses them as the major component. It could be a poison pill too. That Hellwater Vine is pretty toxic and he seems to have used a large portion of it," another said.

"Hmm, it seems to be a mixture of destructive and healing properties. I fear he might not end up making something too good," another Alchemist said.

"That's alright though, isn't it?" another one said. "We can't expect everyone to make great pills."

The several other Supreme Alchemists nodded. Alex continued with the pill, feeling rather good about himself. He couldn't tell if it was luck or if the Alchemists had helped him by providing these ingredients, but one of the things he had ended up with within these near-infinite combinations was a rather apt pill to be made by an Alchemist.

He continued making it, and when all was done, he quickly used his pill-forming Qi to create a pill with 92% harmony. Everyone already knew what he was capable of, so there wasn't much point in hiding his ability anyway.

Alex took out a talisman and recorded the recipe he had just created. He wasn't sure if he was supposed to provide this recipe or not, but he had no qualms about doing so if he was needed.

The barrier surrounding him went down, and the deafening silence he was surrounded by was soon filled with regular noises. "Are you done?" one of the Alchemist asked. Alex had only just met these people last day, so he wasn't close to any of them. "Yes, senior," he answered and handed over the pill.

They brought out pill testers and began testing the pill. When the number 92% came up soon after, the people in the surroundings seemed to lose their minds all of a sudden.

"How is this possible?" one of them asked.

"In the first try?" another one asked.

"Cheating? Surely not," another one said.

"Do you know any recipe with the ingredients he used? I have never come across a pill with those ingredients."

"Me neither."

Soon they all began coming to the conclusion that there were too many random variables here for there to be any cheating. They had to include Alex's talent surrounding Alchemy into the mix too and soon came to accept that he had in fact made the pill.

"Can we see the recipe?" one of them asked.

Alex shrugged and handed it over.

They all looked at it one by one, passing it around. Many of them began sitting down in a meditative position to try and discern what pill Alex had made.

"Do you understand what pill you might have made?" one asked.

"I cannot say for certain until we test it, but I believe very much so that the pill I ended up making is one that can cleanse one's body of pill impurities."

"I cannot say for certain it will get all the impurities, but it should heavily reduce it, lessening the chances of pill poisoning by a lot," Alex said.

His words spread through the crowd like a hammer hitting a gong. They were all forced into silence, made to contemplate what that could do.

"Surely this pill cannot be real," one of them said. "We need to test it immediately. I'll ask someone to bring a pill swine."

Soon, there was a human-faced pig in the room, and someone fed Alex's pill to it. All of the Supreme Alchemists sat around, focusing on the pill swine carefully.

They felt the energy travel into the swine, and then distribute within it. The pill carried both a destructive force and a healing force.

The destructive energy cleared the pill impurities and the healing energy healed that which had been impacted. Soon enough, every single one of the Alchemists had to accept the fact that Alex had in fact made that pill.

"Alright, I think we should move on," one of them said and the others agreed. The older of the bunch turned toward Alex and began speaking. "Now that we've confirmed the truth of this incredible pill, Alchemist Dawnblade, you have another test to take."

"Oh, please do tell me," Alex said, waiting patiently, ready to hear what was next.
