After examining the elemental weapon, he stored it back in his inventory. There was a flaw for an elemental weapon. If they did not have the same affinity, they could not use the elemental weapon to the fullest. It was the same for the people who practiced their sword or their element alone. They would not use it to the fullest potential because it required the mastery of both sword and element.

Alex had mastered both ways, but the problem was he did not have the Ice element. He thought about selling it on the continent. However, even if he wanted to sell it, he would wait until the Grand Tournament had ended. He did not want to strengthen his future opponent by selling it now.

Since he had settled the matter for this weapon, it was the time he fixed these two half-boxes. He took out both of them and saw their appearance.

It was like what he saw in the auction. With the other half of the box, he finally saw what the array was. The array was functioning as the key, but he felt something wrong when he looked at these boxes. The array shape was a bit weird.

The box that Mithra gave him seemed to be the lower part because there were a few symbols on it. On the other hand, the other half cube was full of arrays. These two half-boxes were not cut or something since he thought he could just put them together. And it turned out he was right.

When he put the two half-boxes together, it suddenly stuck together like a magnet. The real box was a cube with a size around his palm. The cube did not have any ornament on it, making it only appear like a normal green box. But when the box finally united together, the array on the half-box that Alex bought earlier suddenly glowed.

Symbols after symbols started appearing on the other half. Alex knew the one who made this box must be higher than the Martial King. After all, something like this could only happen if the Array Master used his soul in creating this box.

It was the same as Zwaka's special realm, where it would timely open according to the time Zwaka set. The Array in this box would show its true appearance when the box was completed. It seemed Mithra purposely lost this box a few thousand years ago.

She decided to throw the other half, so when the people who chased her managed to get it from her, they would only get half of the box, and they needed to search for the other half again. However, because she managed to kill all her pursuers, the other half only got discovered not long ago.

Alex continued looking at the array transformation. The array finished its transformation in a few seconds, and the box was fully covered with a green array. The array continued glowing like a fully active key.

When Alex used his Spirit Eyes to see this array, he finally saw the cube was sucking the Spiritual Energy nearby to sustain itself.

He examined the full box to see what kind of array it was and was shocked by what he found. ”This… is not a rank 6 and not even rank 7… This is a key for rank 8 barrier-type array, Sixth Gate of Aurora. This is one of rank 8 unbreakable barriers as it could prevent any intent and elements.”

He finally could understand why Mithra was chased by so many people for this box. He did not know the power level in the Northern Continent, but he knew a realm that was made for the rank 8 barrier would be full of treasures.

He immediately stored the box inside his space ring. If he came to the Northern Continent, he would be super careful with this box. And he might need to hide this from Song Yu later.

After settling everything again, he went to the full Alchemist mode. He started refining the crystal skin pills one by one for a whole week.

He already got the hang of his new alchemy technique, so he tried to make it with two furnaces. His mental energy was capable of doing that, and his output would be twice as much after he got used to the technique.

…

Five days later,

Alex was in the last refining process for the last two sets of Crystal Skin pill ingredients. He was trying to merge the ingredients and formed them into pills. And not long after,

”Condense!”

Two pink pills came out from both of his furnaces. Alex stored them and let out a deep breath, ”Finally finish.”

After noticing that, Anna immediately came to him. ”Alex, what are you going to do now?”

”Hmm… I have been refining non-stop for five days. So, tell me all the updates, I guess.” Alex said.

Anna nodded. ”Because the information you gave to that princess, it seems they immediately made a countermeasure for the Zhou Kingdom. They also seemed to have information about the Blood Pill and Berserk Pill, so they wanted to finish the war as soon as possible.

”But Zhou Kingdom still managed to massacre a few big cities before the army from Thiveapia Kingdom came. Anya and the others managed to kill eighty percent of the people that tried to make the blood pills. However, as expected of them, the moment they realized that, they tried to put a layer of protection for the people who were responsible for the pill.

”At first they put a few Martial Lords to accompany them, but our group managed to kill them pretty easily… until they finally put around twenty Martial Lords to accompany them with a few high-level Martial Lords along with a thousand peak Martial Grandmasters.

”It was a bit impossible to kill all of them, so Anya and the others were trying to come up with a plan to take one at a time. But for the time being, they are hiding.”

Alex pondered it a little. It seemed they had known the existence of Blood Pill and Berserk Pill. The Southern Kingdom must have spread the information to this kingdom, or maybe they only gave the information to Mount Hua Sect so they could research it.

And since they established an alliance with the Thiveapia Kingdom. They told this information to the Thiveapia Kingdom.

Alex asked, ”How many people were responsible for the pills?”

”They had fifty people. We have killed forty of them. Should we ask Anya to kill them with True Spirit Body?” Anna asked.
