Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years Chapter 561 Quite Principled

Chapter 561 Quite Principled

“Young man, take a seat, have something to eat.” William eyed the pharmacy owner.

At William’s age, calling anyone a “young man” was natural.

The pharmacy owner sat next to William somewhat stiffly and said, “Masters, I entrust the crafting of the Frost Spirit Elixir to you.”

William nodded, “The Frost Spirit Elixir, huh? Have you prepared the materials? Frostbloom petals, Heartless Frost Herb, Abyssal Waters…”

He listed seven ingredients, while Alice, who hadn’t heard of these materials before, silently continued eating her rabbit meat.

Hmm, not bad!

“Master, you indeed know how to craft it!” The pharmacy owner looked at William excitedly.

Being able to accurately list the ingredients for crafting the Frost Spirit Elixir likely meant he could craft it!

The Frost Spirit Elixir, used for treating fire poison, isn’t a commonly found pill, and he had gone through great lengths to find its recipe. Yet, William had directly named the required materials for its concoction.

Then, he must know how to craft it!

William observed the pharmacy owner and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Apologies, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Rowan Collins.” Hearing William’s question, the pharmacy owner quickly stood up, saying, “It’s a pleasure to meet both masters.”

William’s demeanor, even more so than Alice’s, resembled that of a super powerhouse hiding among ordinary people.

“Rowan? You’re just at the Elemental Deity level of strength, how did you get fire poisoned? And this fire poison, did you encounter a Fire Phoenix?” William couldn’t help but laugh, “To encounter a Fire Phoenix and still live, you’re really lucky!”

Rowan’s pupils contracted, staring at William for a long time: “Master, you’re incredibly accurate! To discern my injury at a glance!”

William nodded, “Alright, leave the materials, and you can go.”

Without any hesitation, Rowan placed all the prepared materials from his spatial storage ring in the yard.

He himself was an alchemist, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to open a pharmacy, and to run a pharmacy in a place like the Divine Realm, you can imagine the level of his alchemy skills.

However, even after obtaining the Frost Spirit Elixir recipe, he was helpless! Updated 𝒏ov𝒆ls on 𝒏ov𝒆lbin(.)c𝒐m

Limited skills!

Initially, he thought, if Alice’s strength was low, he could deceive her and just get his hands on her alchemy furnace, which would increase the chances of successfully crafting the Frost Spirit Elixir.

Now that Alice was willing to help, naturally, it was even better.

No, he now felt that the man in the courtyard was even stronger.

Rowan left the materials behind and departed. Alice then asked, “Are you going to teach me how to craft the Frost Spirit Elixir?”

William smiled, “Of course, I’ll teach you, but let me tell you, these materials in front of us are worth about twenty thousand energy crystals.”

Alice nodded, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll try not to blow up the furnace!”

William squinted, “The energy crystals you need to get to Zone 28 are roughly ten thousand. Now, all you need to do is sell these materials, and then you’ll have enough.”

Alice was stunned, what was this?

Not crafting the pills at all?

Just selling the materials directly to gather the money?

Such a maneuver existed.

“Isn’t that a bit unethical?” Alice did have some moral concerns.

William seemed to be leading Alice astray, saying, “That’s how it is in the Divine Realm. If you were a bit weaker, your alchemy furnace would probably have been stolen by now, and your life might not be safe either. Now that he has placed the materials right in front of you, and you don’t take them and just leave? What are you waiting for?”

Alice was dumbfounded by William’s logic.

She was crafting pills for others and taking a portion of the excess pills as a fee for crafting, which could be considered making a profit.

But William was suggesting taking the person’s capital entirely.

“I…” Alice fell silent for a while, then said, “I’ve decided to help him craft it and then take the payment I deserve.”

William frowned, “It seems you really are naive!”

Alice’s face turned red, saying, “Even if that’s how people in the Divine Realm think, I don’t want to do it that way. Maybe I might do it in the future, but at least not now!”

William just stared at Alice, not saying a word.

Alice could already feel the pressure but still bit her teeth and said, “Anyway, I don’t think it’s right!”

She thought William would call her foolish, but instead, William simply said, “Principled, aren’t you? You’ve passed the test. I’ll give you the formula, and then you can study it at your leisure. It doesn’t matter if you fail; these materials are expensive, but that guy Rowan must be wealthy.”

Alice never expected William to be so unprincipled.

To compromise so quickly.

In fact, William’s principle is to have no principles.

He feels that whatever is fine, actually, no matter what choice Alice makes, he sees no problem with it.

Of course, Alice chose to help Rowan craft the Frost Spirit Elixir, and that was her choice, which William certainly supports.

If she chose to take the materials and run, he could accept that too.

William was straightforward, giving the formula directly to Alice. It was a divine medicine that required the strength level of a Nature Deity to craft, now assigned to Alice, who was at the Mortal Deity level of strength, was indeed bold.

Alice didn’t dawdle. Using alchemy could actually improve her strength, and she was clear about this.

William directly imprinted the formula into her subconscious through thought, and then Alice immediately stopped eating and began the crafting process!

William quietly watched from the side, not speaking.

As expected, the first batch of pills unsurprisingly failed.

Alice took a deep breath and tried again.

And failed again!

William found it quite interesting watching from the side.

Relying on Alice’s strength to craft the Frost Spirit Elixir, perhaps it really would have been better to just take the materials and run.

After all, failing almost nine out of ten attempts, it might be wiser to save the materials to exchange for energy crystals and directly advance to Zone 27!

Such foolishness!

Fortunately, the materials Rowan provided were sufficient. Alice crafted day and night for five days and nights, refusing to eat even when William called her to.

“It’s the fiftieth time now, and clearly, the amount of materials used each time isn’t enough!” William squinted, observing Alice.

He felt that Alice seemed to be merely experimenting…

Not really aiming to succeed in one go, but rather searching for that right feeling.

Interesting!

And the delicacies William personally cooked couldn’t tempt her anymore.

William remembered that Alice used to drop everything to eat whenever he called her to.

Moreover, Alice didn’t seem to be the type to be so persistent about one thing.

Now, after five days and nights of relentless alchemy crafting the Frost Spirit Elixir and even adjusting the material ratios little by little for experimentation…

Could it be that Alice became smarter after her trip to the Divine Realm?

William decided to continue watching from the side. When there were only a little material was left, he noticed these materials were just enough for one final crafting.

The last attempt!

If this attempt failed, asking Rowan for materials again, who knows if he would believe Alice could successfully craft the Frost Spirit Elixir!

After so many failures, to ask Rowan to provide materials again, claiming success after a few hundred more attempts, would he be a fool?
