Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

a of the pill that was close to disappearing.

”WHAT?! ” Liang Qiu shouted, garnering looks from everyone in the hall.
”You haven ’t worked on our pills for a week? Alchemist Yu, we trusted you to make our pills, ” she said.

Alex ’s attention nearly wavered, but he kept it on the pill.
”I know, but this pill is important as well, ” he said as he finally saw the last little aura of the pill dissipate away.

”How is your pill more important than ours? ” Liang Qiu got mad.
”We gave you a job, that means you do our work.
Alchemist Yu, please don ’t neglect our work, or we will be forced to go elsewhere with the work. ”

Alex clutched his pill and finally looked up at the fuming face of Liang Qiu.
”Sister Liang, I can assure you, I have not neglected your pill for a single moment, ” he said.

”Oh yeah? Then what is this pill? ” she said, pointing to his palm.

”As I said, this is important, ” Alex said.

”Doesn ’t matter if it is important, ” Liang Qiu said.
”Only thing that matters is you neglected our pill for the sake of making yours. ”

Alex ’s face frowned a little as she finally got on his nerve.

So, he reached into his storage bag and brought out a pill bottle with a single pill inside of it.

He handed the pill over to Liang Qiu and waited.

The fuming Liang Qiu looked confused now.
”What is this? ” she asked.

”An almost Immortal grade True pill.
That ’s for you to eat, ” Alex said.

Liang Qiu opened up the stopper and looked inside.
”What does it do? ” she asked.

”I don ’t know.
Can be a good pill or a bad one.
Can be a healing pill or a poison pill.
Can make you the most beautiful woman in the whole world, or can turn you into a man, ” Alex said.
”Eat it and find out. ”

Liang Qiu hesitated, as anyone would.
”I ’m not eating this, ” she said.

”Why not? ” Alex asked.

”Because I don ’t know what this does, ” she said.

”Ah, I see.
Well let me make something up then, ” Alex said as he gave a thinking expression.
”Yes, this pill helps improve your Wood Spiritual root. ”

Liang Qiu frowned.
”Are you mocking me, Alchemist Yu? ” she asked.

”No.
Do you not trust me? ” Alex asked.

”Of course not, ” she said.

Alex took one step forward.
”Then why do you trust the words of a demon that lived thousands of years ago, and wanted nothing but to destroy humans? Why do you trust the words of someone that doesn ’t even know how pills work? ” he asked.

”That… I… ” Liang Qiu couldn ’t speak.
”Are you saying the recipe is false? ”

”No, ” Alex said.
”I ’m saying there ’s a possibility it is false.
The pill does seem to do what it says it does, but if there ’s the slightest chance it does something else, I cannot let you or anyone else take it. ”

”So? What are we supposed to do? Find a scapegoat for us and feed it? ” Liang Qiu asked.

”Yes, ” Alex said with a smile.
”Except I ’m not a horrible person to test a random pill on another human being. ”

”Then? ” she asked.

”Then I am going to test it on myself, ” Alex said.

”What? ” Han Daiyu finally spoke from the side.
She had been watching Liang Qiu get angry and had let her handle it, but this tangent of the conversation made her speak up.

”You will test on yourself? Didn ’t you just say it was dangerous? ” she asked.

”Yes, it is, ” Alex said.
”But I have a way to make it less dangerous. ”

”How? ” Liang Qiu asked.

”This, ” Alex finally opened his closed fist and showed the white pill to her again.

”What is this? ” she asked.

”True Nullifying Pill.
If taken immediately after eating a pill, it can revert the effects of the pill. ”

”Only caveat is that you must eat this pill within the first five minutes of making this.
I made this nearly 7 minutes ago, so this pill is a dud now.
But, I will make a better one later, ” he said to her.

Liang Qiu looked at him with a shocked expression.
”You are going that far for the job? ” she asked.

”Sister Liang, I told you from the very beginning, that the only thing holding me up is the lack of ingredients.
As soon as I get them, I will make your pill. ”

”And for the sake of making sure the pill is in fact safe, I also worked on the True Nullifying pill, ” he said.

Then he looked Liang Qiu straight in the eye with a confident look in his own.

”As I said, I have not neglected your pill even once.
Everything I did for the past 2 weeks, and everything I do for the next week, all of it is going to be for your pill. ”
