Chapter 747 - Leaving (1/2)
Three months later, two days before Alex returned to the surface, Alex woke up from his cultivation.
”These three months were beneficial.” He opened his eyes before standing up, finding Firia also waking up.
”Alex. How is your progress?”
”I have absorbed the memory crystal completely, but it seems I have underestimated it since I needed to use it for around two months.” Alex sighed.
”I see. Your cultivation hasn't advanced to 2-Star Martial Saint because of this.” Firia observed his cultivation and sighed.
”Anyway, I am happy that you have reached 3-Star Martial Saint this time. As for me, I will slowly catch up to you… Maybe after mastering my Spirit Crown…”
”Indeed. Don't worry. We still have two years before we need to create a ruckus in the Snow White Mountain. Maybe another year to fight both influences.”
Alex nodded. ”Yeah. That's my plan.”
”We will wait for another two days then.”
”Before that, I want to ask something from you.”
”Sure. What do you want me to do?”
”Can you refine the Revolving Heart Pill?”
Firia slightly opened her mouth before her expression turned serious. She closed her eyes, falling into deep thought. ”I have practice with my Master, but I don't know if I can get the highest possible result.”
”How about trying to use my Simulation Room to test it?”
”Sure. I have seen what your Simulation Room can do, and I think I am not that far to reach perfection. However, I don't have the ingredients with me.”
”Don't worry. I just got the last ingredient three months ago. I wanted to say this to you but decided to wait until we left here. Well, since you have woken up, I think this is a good idea.” Alex smiled.
”That's great. I will try to recall everything about it now while you create the array.” Firia nodded.
Alex then walked a bit further and started drawing symbol after symbol.
It didn't take him long before he finished, and Firia had been waiting for him. Alex took out the ingredients and placed it inside the Simulation Room together with the Spirit Crystals.
Firia walked inside, sat down, and activated the array.
Alex didn't say anything and watched how she woke up several times during this time. From her expression alone, he knew she succeeded, but the result wasn't like what she hoped for. Only after going through trials and errors, Firia's mood gradually improved. She even made a big smile for the last five times.
”I have mastered it. I am confident I can bring three Perfect Purity Revolving Heart Pill.”
”Sorry for troubling you.”
”It's fine.” Firia took a deep breath. ”I will recover my Spiritual Energy and calm my heart first before proceeding with this.”
”Sure. Take your time.”
”That's right. Who do you want to give these pills to? From what I know, it will be Evelyn and Rose. But how about the last one?”
”Evelyn has a high talent in the sword to begin with, so I am sure that this pill will benefit her. As for Rose, she is already strengthened by the Bow Mastery Card and Lightning Crystal. If I don't support her with numerous resources, I am afraid she will lose against Evelyn in terms of cultivation speed. However, this should fix Rose's problem. And for the third one…” Alex paused for a moment, piquing Firia's interest.
”Who is it?”
”I don't know yet. There are three candidates that I can give or sell. First will be Song Jiaoren. Seeing his actions toward me, I think I can reward him with this. Unfortunately, he won't be that loyal to me since it is only for benefit.
”The third one will be Song Ling'er. The principle is basically the same. If I give this, I will gain the complete support of the Blackwade Clan in this world. However, I don't think I need more than our current situation, since everything is under control.
”Then it will leave for the third one, Astennu,” Alex said mysteriously as if he was telling it wasn't for him.
Firia also realized this and thought who would possibly receive the pill. ”Ah! Is it for your Senior Sister?”
”Yeah. You can say this is the last present from me as well as my congratulation gift for their marriage that will happen sooner or later.”
”Now that I think about this… If I calculate everything from benefits, she doesn't necessarily deserve this super rare pill. However, if I put your feeling and relationship in the calculation, well…” Firia sighed. ”How about we see the other candidates first? For example, that Elizabeth?”
”It's true that I might buy her cooperation if I give this to her. Let's say that she might become the fifth influence that will fight with us. However, I am afraid I don't need to do this since it's enough if she can stay silent in her territory since four influences are enough since we can count Freedom Sect as two influences.” Alex answered from his point of view.
”What about the Ancient Blue Family and Snow White Mountain? Never mind about the Snow White Mountain. Letizia doesn't need one because of her pure ice, while no one is qualified to receive this kind of pill from you.” Firia narrowed her eyes, releasing her killing intent.
”If you are thinking about buying Snow White Mountain's loyalty, it's highly possible. Due to the fact that they couldn't sacrifice Letizia, they ended up with the second choice. If we give this to her, it might be able to close the gap a little. However, I don't have a plan to do that and will never have.” Alex also leaked his killing intent.
