Chapter 199: True Nullifying Pill (1/2)

”I didn't know there were other locations in the sect,” Alex said.

”There are. However, they only get revealed to you once you have been promoted. You could've learned about the Pill Swines' location if you had read the new maps,” Ma Rong said.

”New map?” he wondered for a second what she meant. ”Oh, the new guidebook. I should look at it later. Anyway, Master. What is the second method?” he asked.

”The second method is a bit more controversial since it has to do with using the pills on yourself,” Ma Rong said.

Alex was both surprised and shocked when he heard this. This wasn't what he had expected. ”Experimenting on oneself? Isn't that extremely dangerous, master?” he asked.

”Yes, it is. But you only do that in the last case scenario where you don't have Pill Swines or have zero clues about what your pill does. You read all the pill recipes, right? Then you must know the recipe to the True Nullifying Pill,” she said.

”True Nullifying Pill?” he looked into his memories and found a pill with the same name. However, he had never bothered learning or making it since it was a True pill, and all he could make were common rank pills.

”It's a True Rank pill, master. Is it even useful for me?” he asked.

Ma Rong snickered and asked, ”What? You think you can make proper new pills before you reach True realm?” she asked. ”Besides, you will just use the Pill Swines most of the time due to the limitations of the True Nullifying pill,” she said.

Alex recalled the information about the pill.

True Nullifying Pills. Nullifies the effect of any recently taken pills. The pill must be less than 5 minutes old to use and the pill taken recently must also be less than 5 minutes old.

”What's up with the time limitations on both pills for True Nullifying pill to work, Master? He asked.

”Well, the first one is just an assumption. We just assume that a normal pill takes effect immediately and is fully integrated into your system within 5 minutes. It can be more or less depending on the pill.”

”The True Nullifying pill, however, is an extremely volatile pill that interacts with the energy on the environment itself and counteracts the energy on the environment to nullify it. In about 10 minutes, it can fully release all of its energy to nullify its surrounding. So it is suggested that we use it within 5 minutes to get more than half of its effect.”

”You don't have to worry about it for now. Since you will need True Qi to even approach making this pill. Just focus on practicing normally for now,” Ma Rong said.

Alex nodded his head. ”What about the exploding problem then master?” he asked.
