William pinched Alice, and she trembled slightly, slowly opening her eyes with her mind still in a haze.
“Did I just pass out?”
“Yes.”
“Shouldn’t you perform CPR on someone who’s unconscious?”
“Stimulating the pain point between the thumb and forefinger is more effective. CPR is for drowning.”
“…”
Alice took a moment to gather herself, then hurriedly looked toward the alchemy furnace. “How did the Frost Spirit Elixir turn out?”
William said, “You should check it yourself, but I think it’s probably ruined.”
“Ruined?” Alice quickly wriggled out of William’s embrace and rushed to the alchemy furnace. Fighting the discomfort, she directed her finger toward the furnace, infusing it with energy. Soon, a crystal-clear pill emitting a soft divine light flew out.
Without waiting to speak to William, she took out a prepared glass bottle and placed the pill inside, sniffing it before turning excitedly to William. “It was a success!”
William approached, raising an eyebrow. “How could this be successful? Impossible!”
Alice, with her eyebrows upturned in joy, huffed, “Why impossible? Are you doubting my abilities?”
William gave her a noogie. “Do you even know your own strength? Was the alchemy secret technique you used just now something your level should be messing with?”
“Ouch—” Alice covered her head, her smile instantly gone. The grimace she made was so exaggerated that William almost exclaimed how incredibly realistic her acting was.
“I was just scared of failing again,” Alice tried to reason with William.
He glanced at her and ruffled her hair. “I see your foolish brain is getting active again.” .𝒎
Even though William appreciated Alice’s spirit to challenge new things, he still felt the need to teach her a lesson.
Alice noticed someone was still standing outside the house and whispered, “There’s someone outside, can you spare me some face?”
“Don’t worry, our unparalleled powerhouse Alice, that person outside, he can’t hear us talking,” William said. “Alright, now that the Frost Spirit Elixir is successfully concocted, do you plan to take me straight to the 28th zone?”
Rowan had promised to give Alice ten thousand energy crystals after the successful concoction of the Frost Spirit Elixir, which should be enough.
“No, I heard that to go to the 28th zone, one must be a formal divine official.” Alice frowned. “Is a formal divine official equivalent to a Divine Alliance official? Like a federal employee?”
A professional-level understanding!
William nodded. “You could understand it that way.”
The 28th zone is mainly where the Divine Alliance’s formal divine officials reside. As for entering the Heavenly Dungeon, there are certainly other conditions,such a place definitely isn’t somewhere a Mortal Deity can just waltz into.
“So, do I need to take an exam to become a?Divine Alliance’s federal employees?” Alice was still unclear about the Divine Alliance’s system.
“Thinking of passing the Divine Alliance’s civil servants exam, is it just a matter of having hands?”
“Having hands?” Alice doesn’t believe William’s claim that having hands is enough.
She decided not to discuss further with William and, holding the successfully concocted Frost Spirit Elixir, called out to Rowan at the door, “Come over here.”
At this point, William also lifted the sound barrier, and Rowan hurried in upon hearing Alice’s call.
Alice used alchemy to concoct the Frost Spirit Elixir, which required a considerable amount of materials, but with the Elixir’s successful creation, she felt joy. Seemingly casually, she handed the Frost Spirit Elixir to Rowan: “Here, take it.”
Rowan was more than shocked.
He had just been standing outside the residence, witnessing Alice concoct the Frost Spirit Elixir using alchemy.
But it was just the concoction of a Frost Spirit Elixir!
A pill that could be concocted by someone of Nature Deity level strength caused such a commotion.
The sky displayed peculiar phenomena, and an ethereal sound resonated throughout the Divine Realm!
Was this just for concocting a Frost Spirit Elixir?
As an alchemist, Rowan naturally understood what it meant for such celestial phenomena to occur during alchemy and the resonance of energy shockwaves.
In the entire Divine Realm, apart from Zeus causing such unique phenomena twice while exerting divine power, no one else had caused such a stir.
The ethereal sound that resonated throughout the entire Divine Realm at the end seemed to surpass even the power of Zeus.
Could it be that the woman before him was a high-ranking divine king?
Rowan, trembling, took the Frost Spirit Elixir and held it above his head, kneeling before Alice with a loud voice of gratitude, “Thank you for your help! For concocting the Frost Spirit Elixir for me, I am truly grateful. From now on, I am willing to serve you and hope you will take me as your disciple!”
Anyone capable of running a pharmacy in the Divine Realm naturally had a sharp mind.
Realizing that Alice might be a high-ranking divine king, Rowan wanted to become her disciple after receiving the pill.
This scene was all too familiar to William.
With Rowan’s abilities, he naturally couldn’t tell that the drop of water William added to the alchemy furnace at the last moment played a crucial role.
At this moment, he regarded Alice as a high-ranking divine king level powerhouse.
However, he also saw William give Alice a noogie on her head and thought William might be even more powerful, possibly Alice’s lover or master.
“Thinking of me as your master is out of the question, helping to concoct the Frost Spirit Elixir was a small favor!” Alice, with her hands behind her back, imitated William’s usual indifferent way of speaking, emotionless and calm, immediately exhibiting the demeanor of a superior being.
Rowan didn’t dare to waste words. He speculated that both individuals before him were superpowerful beings, likely possessing the strength of high-ranking divine kings.
After being rejected, he decisively said, “Master, to express my gratitude, the ten thousand energy crystals I promised you upon successful concoction…”
Hearing this, Alice couldn’t help but smile. This was what she wanted to hear, her first batch of funds was about to be secured.
“I know that to such powerful beings like you, energy crystals might be trivial, so I won’t embarrass myself by offering such small trinkets. After returning, I will establish a hall of honor for you, create a statue in your likeness, and my family’s descendants will remember forever what you have done for our family. Your legendary stories will be widely spread throughout the Divine Realm.”
Alice was dumbfounded!
What was he talking about?
Just give the money, okay?
I put so much effort into concocting the Frost Spirit Elixir for so long, and you’re offering me a hall of honor?
Do you want everyone to come to me for free concoctions?
“A hall of honor… let’s forget about that!” Alice couldn’t help but think, would asking for money now ruin her image as a supreme powerhouse?
But if you don’t take those ten thousand energy crystals, wouldn’t that be working for free?
She looked at William for help, but he deliberately turned his head away, clearly not planning to intervene.
Rowan was still kneeling, and with the hall of honor being rejected, he felt that Alice simply didn’t want any ties with him and was just lending a hand.
Considering the person next to her might be Alice’s lover or master, he dared not say more. After carefully picking up the Frost Spirit Elixir, he performed a deep kowtow, expressing his sincere reverence. Then, he got up and bowed again to Alice, saying, “I will forever remember your great kindness in my heart. With that, I won’t disturb your rest any longer and will take my leave now.”
“…” Alice’s mouth fell open slightly, what kind of people were these in the Divine Realm?
What about the promised ten thousand energy crystals?
Seeing Rowan heading to the door, Alice finally couldn’t hold back and called out, “Stop! Leave behind the ten thousand energy crystals you promised!”
She couldn’t hold back any longer!
Truly, she couldn’t!
If it was just one or two energy crystals, perhaps Alice might still pretend to disdain them, but… ten thousand energy crystals!
If she missed out, there would be no more chance!
What about regarding money as dirt?
I just love it!
Hurry up and bring it here!
