Chapter 2025 The Flower and the Fruit
Alex walked out of Elder Liang’s home with the talisman in hand. He looked at the pill recipe that was handed to him and he still couldn’t believe what he was given.
Could such an incredible pill actually exist?
As per the pill recipe, the Heavensent Invincibility Pill was capable of making you temporarily invincible to any and all attacks. It made use of Qi within a person’s body to nullify all attacks that were done to them, and until their Qi ran out, they were invincible.
There was one downside to the pill, which was that the person who ate the pill would no longer be in control of their own Qi. That meant they couldn’t use any of their techniques at all.

‘Maybe it’s worth it?’ Alex thought. ‘It’s survival at least. I can use escape talismans to get away if need be.’ freewebnσvel.cѳm
After thinking as much, Alex decided that he had to make the pill not only because he was told to, but because it was an actually useful pill.
Alex made his way to the sect’s alchemy mountain where ingredients of all types could be easily bought. He could pay for the ingredients or use his contribution points, which he didn’t have yet.
Alex gave the female Elder working the list of ingredients he needed and the Elder brought them back.
She handed multiple wooden boxes over to Alex and said, “19,200 spirit stones.”
Alex paused. “I’m sorry. 19 thousand?” he asked. “I only asked for 3 sets.”
The elder chuckled a little. “This is 3 sets. Is this your first time buying these ingredients? The Iron Rampart Heartflower and the Elephant Scarab fruit are hard-to-come-by ingredients. They cost over 10 thousand Immortal spirit stones just the two of them.”
Alex was shocked, to say the least. He had never come across such expensive ingredients at all. “Do you still wish to buy it?” the elder asked.
“Yes,” Alex said. “But can you swap them for the worst that you have? They should be cheaper right?”
The elder gave a curious look and seemed to be about to say something and thought better of it. She took the ingredients back and found the worst ones they had for all of the respective ingredients.
“It’s 14,810 now,” she said. Alex sighed and nodded his head. “Yes, elder,” he said as he reached to bring out his spirit stones. As he was about to, he paused and looked up. “Elder, do you have White Canvas Daisy buds by any chance?” “White Canvas Daisy? Yeah, we have those. Do you want that too?” she asked.
Alex’s eyes sharpened. Finally, he had found the ingredient. “Yes please,” he said.
“The worst for this one too?” she asked.
“No, the best you’ve got.” Alex couldn’t be sure how the White Canvas Daisy was different from other ingredients considering that it was the only ingredient that the Alchemy God’s Knowledge was missing information on.
“Alright,” the elder said and brought out 3 boxes with the White Canvas Daisy. Alex paid for everything and left for his cave.
Upon arriving back at his Cave, Alex called Pearl out so he could wander around the cave, and get used to his new body, while he focused on improving the ingredients.
The Iron Rampart Heartflower was a flower in the shape of a heart with a very strong metal energy within it. All of its petals were sharp as knives and could perhaps even be used as weapons against weaker opponents.
The Elephant Scarab fruit was the size of one’s fist with the fruit itself being in the shape of a scarab’s body, while two leaves hung from it that looked like elephant ears. Both the ears and the fruit were part of the recipe.
While Alex continued using Supreme Elemental Accord to improve the ingredients, he took out the bud of the White Canvas Daisy. It was surprisingly an ordinary ingredient, perhaps even less so than regular. It was the sort of ingredient that Alex would have expected to be a side ingredient of a low-ranking pill, not the main-ranking ingredient at all.
Even looking at it now, Alex couldn’t understand just what ingredient he was looking at. There was no information of any sort that jumped out into his mind when looking at it.
This was certainly the weirdest experience he had with a plant-based ingredient in a very long time.
Alex put aside the white buds for now and focused his attention on the ingredients at hand. He needed to quickly make the Heavensent Invincibility pill so that he could get the Elder’s approval and could go back to his store just that much quicker.
The first thing that felt off in the entire process was the time it took for him to improve the ingredients. What should have taken him half an hour took him more than an hour.
He was confused as to why that was, but could only attribute it to the ingredients being that much worse, so he had to work extra long to bring them up to par.
Once the ingredients were improved, Alex read the recipe and sought to make it exactly as the recipe stated. He hadn’t improved the recipe at all, but there was no doubt in his mind that the recipe could make pills of 90% harmony at the very least.
If it came directly from a Prime Alchemist who was known to create pill clouds, it had to be that good. Besides, this was his first time using most of these ingredients, so he would have to try once more he understood if he had to improve anything at all.
Alex pulled out Memory and set it atop the flames that he created in front of him. He looked over at the recipe one last time and began.
The first three ingredients to go into the cauldron were the regular ingredients that weren’t the main component of the pill. Then, Alex put in the Elephant Scarab fruit. The ingredient was already chopped into tiny pieces, so when it went into the cauldron, Alex could immediately begin moving it around in order to extract the energy from within it.
“Oh, he wasn’t wrong,” Alex thought, feeling the energy that came from the ingredient. It was quite strong and required much focus on Alex’s end to keep it from going out of control.
Alex moved the fruit around until all the energy was extracted and then moved on to the next ingredient, the flower.
He stripped the petals from the flower and threw them all into the cauldron at once and began controlling them. As soon as it did, the energy inside the cauldron became unstable.
Alex immediately focused on controlling the energy within the cauldron, going so far as to even use his Dao of Seven Elemental Interaction to control what was happening within the cauldron.
He couldn’t stop the energy from reacting with each other, but he could slow it down certainly. However, even at a slowed rate, the energy released was so fast that there was simply no way for Alex to control the entire energy in the cauldron at once.
And so he realized that if he didn’t do something immediately, Memory was going to explode.
