Chapter 23：The Task of an Aid (2/2)

He took the cauldron on top of the fire, and set it aside at a corner. He then took out his own cauldron and put it on top of the fire. His cauldron seemed to be made of a dirt-like brown color, but more polished than the black cauldron. It was without a doubt better than the other cauldron.

He waited for the cauldron to heat up and took out his storage bag. He then handed to storage bag to Alex.

Alex was confused now. What was he to do with the storage bag? He looked inside and saw a bunch of alchemy ingredients, including the dwarf berry. He decided to ask.

”Brother Kong, what do I do with this?”

”Huh, why are you asking? You should know this as an aid already.” Kong Yuhan was surprised at the question as well,

”This is my first time working as an aid brother. I only joined the sect yesterday.” Alex said as he laughed wryly.

Kong Yuhan frowned. ”This is bad, brother. You should have let me know it was your first time. If you mess something up, I will be in big trouble.”

Alex got a little worried as well. 'I should have tried to find out what an aid does before coming here as well.'

”What does an aid do brother Kong?” he asked.

Kong sighed, ”The job itself is very simple, junior brother. You just have to give me the ingredients when I ask you to. The problem is that Alchemy requires near-perfect timing. So if you were to hinder my process by not being able to find an ingredient in time, I will fail in making the pill.”

”And this pill is very important to me. I only have one set of ingredients, so if I mess up here, I won't be able to break through to the Meridian Tempering realm. I'm just worried that you won't be able to recognize what ingredient I ask, and be slow at delivering it.”

Alex's eyes perked up when he heard this. ”If it's just recognizing ingredients, then I am confident in being able to do that, brother Kong.”

”Very well then junior brother, I shall trust you. The room already took my points, so there is no going back. Familiarize yourself with the pill ingredients and recipe in the bag,” Kong Yuhan said as he closed his eyes and started meditating.

Alex looked inside the storage bag and found out there were 13 different items inside. 12 of them were the ingredients, while the last one was a talisman.

Alex took out the talisman and started to read it.

”Oh wow.” He was surprised. He didn't expect to learn the recipe the moment he read it.

'This must be because of the feature of [Alchemy God's Knowledge] that says I can learn all recipes instantly.' He thought
