219 Getting Ou (2/2)

The Soul Enhancing Pill provides minor memory reinforcement, but the Never Forget Pill will allow him to search through his subconscious memory and pick a section to be photographically reinforced.

Although all memory declines over time, the efficacy of the pill will allow the user to retain the memory for longer periods of time.

Since he was using Tier-3 Spirit Herbs, a Tier-3 Never Forget Pill will allow him to retain 1 days' worth of memory photographically for up to 6 months before it starts to decline.

Although Leon was refining the Never Forget Pill for the first time, the process was smooth without any mishap.

Never Forget Pill was a tier-1 spirit pill, but it has risen to tier-3 due to the tier-3 spirit herbs used.

If he could not even refine a tier-1 spirit pill, he would be an incompetent alchemist no matter how high he had already achieved in alchemy.

Nine sparkling white pills were revealed, the moment Leon lifted the substitute pill cauldron lid as the medicinal fragrance washed over him.

With a simple whiff, he had easily gauged each of their quality.

'7 mid-ranks and 2 high-rank pills, huh?'

Leon nodded impassively, neither satisfied nor disappointed. It was all within his expectations. Alternatively, if there had been any low-rank pills or even medicinal dregs, he would have been ashamed.

Glancing at the 9 Tier-3 Never Forget Pills, Leon had mixed feelings.

”If I had such pills in my previous life, I wouldn't have spent countless hours and headaches each day memorizing the plethora of herbs, their properties, and usage.”

”Heck, I just had to read everything once and ingest a single pill to memorize everything. I would have been able to ace every written exam during the alchemy tier advancement exam with something like this.”

”Haiz, my father been keeping all the good stuff to himself.”

Leon secretly complained before he lowered his head dejectedly. His father was no longer with him. As for the king, his current father who shares the spitting image of his late father, they were not the same person.

They had yet to talk, but he had secretly observed his king father for a short period of time. The mannerisms, speech, and behavior were all different.

Same appearance, but completely different. Even his own appearance was the same as his previous life's one. Such coincidence baffled him.

He never really understood what kind of world he had landed in, but it matters not. He will eventually find out in due time.

”Father…”

Leon was only downcast for a short while before his dejected eyes were replaced with strong decisiveness.

”I will make them all pay eventually…”

Revenge was best served cold, not because it granted the greatest satisfaction but because it was more likely to succeed.

If satisfaction were felt after successfully enacting vengeance, that is when a person know they had not been avenging others but themselves, because avenging others would not make them any happier. It would not bring the dead back to life.

Without further thoughts, Leon popped the pill in his mouth, selected his memory, and return to the dreamscape.

Seated at the center in silence with his eyes closed, he replayed the memory repeatedly.

Once became tens, and tens became hundreds of times. After replaying the short 30-second memory 327 times, he had picked up a total of 300 different runes that had activated during that short moment from the point he touched the runic plate to entering the dreamscape.

'This should be all of them…'

Leon soon returned to the Whitespace and borrowed the computational power of the Archive to visually project the 300 runes instead of using his own mental simulation.

Under the guidance of his will, he watched as the 300 runes fell into place and connected to each other, forming multiple runic circles, both big and small in sizes, and each with their own set function.

Some of these functions had nothing to do with the spatial teleportation and soul transference but were part of the runic plate puzzle of the inheritance building.

Leon removed the irrelevant runic circles from the equation and what was left was 1 big spatial runic circle and 2 smaller runic circles related to the aspect of the soul.

After slight modification on his part for the return trip, a single but more intricately designed runic circle laid before him.

Leon firmly memorized the image in his mind, before he returned to the dreamscape for the last time to pick up Ravenous Black and draw his runic circle on the white floor.

The sharp gib easily carved away the tough yet illusory marbled floor as lines quickly formed with Leon's steady hand as he drew. Starting from the outer layer, he worked his way inwards towards the center.

The lines slowly weaved together to form an exact replica of the runic circle imprinted in his mind. At the heart of the runic circle where four runic lines met, Leon finished off with a half-spherical socket carving.

The progress seemed smooth and quick, but actually, it took longer than Leon anticipated. Nevertheless, after checking his work thrice, he didn't find any problem with it and nodded.

”Time to go back.”

Standing inside the runic circle, the Ravenous Black in his hand was flipped on its jade end before it was jammed into the empty socket at the heart of the big runic circle, lighting it up before his own body transformed into light particles and disappeared from the spot.
