Chapter 250: Handwriting (2/2)
'Just how good of an alchemist would he become if he could use spiritual sense and the Eidetic memory that came after unlocking it,' Alex thought.
The book alone was evidence enough as to how much Wan Li had put in to reach the spot he was at. It was easy to see someone's success and assume they were successful because of their luck.
However, nobody saw the labor and pain that went into making a successful person. Wan Li was such. In the sect, he was revered as a disciple on a status that couldn't be touched.
But many people forgot that he was once an outer sect disciple too. He too started right where they had started. He worked hard, while others waited for their luck.
Alex continued to read the book and absorb more of the information. The book was about normal common pills and the in-depth analysis of their production. They were more of an experimental log where Wan Li would make the same pills and determine why they came out different.
From his perspective, it seemed that the most common causes were ingredients. The second was timing, and the third was the temperature of the flames.
The better one was at controlling or choosing these things, the better a pill would be. Alex knew these things from his lesson with master and his pill-making as well. But, he had never seen such a detailed note down of the things that happened when the pills were made.
'Damn, this is comprehensive. It details everything he discovered. One does not simply become so good in alchemy huh. I am the only one who got something that helped me in alchemy. How long would it take me to reach my current level if I didn't have the Alchemy God's Knowledge? 10 years? 15 years?' Alex wondered.
He continued reading the book and took in as much as he could, and finally finished the book after nearly an hour. He had read as fast as he could and even then the contents in the book had taken him an hour.
He walked up to Wan Li and handed the book. ”Thank you, Brother Wan,” Alex said.
”Oh, you finished it? You want another?” Wan Li asked.
”It's okay. I will need time to absorb what I just read,” Alex said.
”Okay”
KNOCK KNOCK
”Hmm” both of them turned towards the door.
”Oh god, it's probably Fanfan. She must be coming to play,” Wan Li said. Alex walked to the door to see if it was her.
However, the person at the door was Fan Ruogang.
”Sect Leader has called everyone to her room for a meeting,” she said and left for another door.
Alex turned around towards Wan Li and said, ” Brother Wan, it seems it's time for the meeting.”
