Chapter 77：Missing Ingredients (1/2)

”Good Evening, Elder Wang. Is the list ready yet?” Alex arrived at the foot of the alchemy garden late at night. He had purposefully waited as much as he could without doing anything before coming here.

”Oh, you are here, Disciple Yu. Yes, Elder Zhan has prepared the list. Here you go.” He handed Alex the list of ingredients.

Over the last couple of days, Alex had come to know the elders quite well. He respected them as elders and they respected him as someone with talent.

They would still be surprised every time he walked out of the garden within an hour.

”How do you do it, Disciple Yu? The mountain is quite huge, so how do you manage to find the ingredients so fast.” The elders asked.

”Oh, hehe… that's a secret. I can tell you that it's because I know where every single ingredient is already. So I just go and take it. I don't have to waste time searching for it.”

Ma Rong had told him not to reveal anyone about his Spiritual sense yet, so he tried to work around the question and answer them without really answering the question.

”I'll be off then, Elder Wang.” Alex walked into the valley in search of the ingredients. He quickly scanned the list and thought of where all the ingredients were.

'There are 2 there, 3 next to that, only 1 near the top…' he revised the locations in his mind and walked off.

Ingredients started to fly on their own and landed inside his storage bag. His Qi manipulation and Spiritual sense coordination had gotten just that good.

One after another, he started finding all the ingredients in the list. It took him half an hour to finish it all, so he walked out.

”Always so punctual, aren't you? Disciple Yu. ” Elder Wang spoke as he saw Alex coming out of the garden.

Alex just smiled and said, ”I will head to the other garden.” He walked across the valley to the other garden and entered.

He once again started looking for the ingredients.

”Hmm… it's missing.” Alex knew for sure there was an ingredient here yesterday, but there wasn't one anymore. 'Did some animal take it?' he wondered.

He kept on looking for the other ingredients. Once more he found another ingredient missing.

”That's the second time. Is there really some animal in here?”

He searched for more ingredients. By the end, he found about 4 different ingredients missing. And those were just ones he searched for because of the list.

'Let's check everything.' He immediately sent out his spiritual sense and looked at all of the different ingredients growing in the valley. He found out more than 20 ingredients had been stolen by now.

He quickly thought of the materials and realized they were ingredients for the pill [Heart Stopping pill]. It was a common-grade pill that would kill anyone below the Mind Tempering realm by solidifying their blood and stopping their heart from pumping blood.
