Chapter 461 - Final Lesson (2/2)

After an hour or two of teaching, Alex's Alchemy lessons were finally over.

”That's it. That's all I can teach you today… or maybe even forever,” Ma Rong said. ”Come find me if you have trouble. Aside from that… I don't think I have anything else to teach you that you don't already know,” Ma Rong said.

”Don't say that master. No matter if we don't have lessons anymore or if I ever get better than you, you will still be my master,” Alex said.

Ma Rong smiled. ”That's all I needed to hear,” she said. ”Sigh, alright, you can go now.”

”Okay master,” Alex said and got up to leave.

”Oh yeah, wait,” Ma Rong said.

”Yes?” Alex stayed behind and waited for her to continue speaking.

”Your other two requests. You can go do them both today,” Ma Rong said.

Alex's eyes immediately went wide. ”Thank you, master. You've no idea how long I've waited for this,” Alex said.

”Are you confident though?” Ma Rong asked.

”Yeah, quite a lot. I had less confidence for the second one, but with you around, it should be successful too,” Alex said.

”Alright,” Ma Rong said. ”I will let the elders know. You can take their help if you want later on.”

”Thank you, master,” Alex said. ”By the way, which mountain did you decide to give up on?”

Ma Rong shook her head and said, ”I couldn't decide, so I went to discuss it with master. He said that it would be better to use the one on the right.”

”Any specific reason?” Alex asked.

”Yes. The mountain on the left is surrounding by the Elder's quarters in between that mountain and ours, Pill testing Swine stable to the back of it, and Core disciple mountain to the other side.”

”I cannot sacrifice a mountain that has such a great amount of life around there. If something goes wrong, we will need those elders and students and swine to have their home,” Ma Rong said.

”I see, that's understandable. Since the one on the left is next to only Inner mountain, but that too is very far away. So, even if something goes wrong on that end, it will be safe for the others,” Alex said.

”Ok then, I will go clear it out later on just in case. Goodbye, master.”

Alex left. He went back to his home and after spending a bit of time understanding what he was taught, he logged out.

He was out of the game at around 9 pm. He wasn't hungry at all from the massive dinner he ate last night, so he returned back to the game after a very light breakfast.

Alex debated on whether to do what he needed to do right now or not but thought that it would be better to do it in the veil of the night when most of the disciples would be back in their houses, unknowing of what he was doing.

”Alright, let's prepare for now,” he thought and brought out some formation flags and started messing with them. He checked if they had any imperfections or anything that was out of place in those flags.

Once he was absolutely sure nothing was wrong, he moved on to different things to pass his time. He made some more pills during this time.

He now had 3 Mind Elating pills, the pills he had created that gave someone increased intelligence. He had decided on naming them Mind Elating pills on a whim.

These 3 pills were some of his best works amongst his self-made pills. Two of the pills were of 54% Harmony, while the third one was of 57% harmony.

He had practically given up after that. Unless he fundamentally improved his understandings of how pills worked, he didn't think he could rely on anything other than luck to improve the pill now.

He spent the next portion of his day making different formation plates and formation flags that he still had. By the time he was done, he had a few more formations he could sell.

He even tried a few with his remaining True Qi and was very surprised with how well they worked.

Once night came around, he finally left his home and walked down the mountain to the sect valley.

The valley was as festive as ever with the people happily going about their night. Alex looked around and decided to go towards the right.

He soon found someone elders and spoke to them.

”Good evening, elders. Master must've told you what I'm here for, right?”
