Chapter 2300 The Book of Endless Recipes
"Mistake, you say?" the Alchemy God put on a curious face. "What mistake did my people make?"
"One of the ingredients in the Twilight Consuming Pill, the Sky Gold Jade leaf was of a different variant than the other ones. I couldn\'t make a pill with just that leaf, so I had to make a variant pill with that one on its own," Alex said. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The Alchemy God took a moment to consider what Alex said, looking at the two different types of pills in his hand.
Alex watched him look at the pills and could see his mind working behind his eyes at a tremendous rate. He was already discovering mysteries surrounding the pills that Alex hadn\'t even known existed yet.
Flames suddenly burst all around both him and Alex, covering them both from prying eyes. The Alchemy God then put down the two pills for a moment and pulled something out from his Soul Space. The bright blue metallic cover of the Book of Endless Recipes was something Alex could never forget. The picture of the scroll at the center was one that he remembered clearly from Alchemy God\'s memory.
He could feel a connection to the book like he knew how one could use it. If not for the fact that he knew he had never seen this book before in his life, he could swear he had even used it before. It was all due to the Alchemy God\'s memories being in his mind. It was like instinct for him.
The Alchemy God flipped the book open. Alex tried to see what was inside, but he couldn\'t see things at the angle he was in, and he couldn\'t read anything using his spiritual sense. He could probably see something if he forced his sight, but there was no way he was going to do that in front of the Alchemy god.
Whitesong opened to the first empty page of the book. In fact, it was all empty anyway. Using his spiritual sense, he quickly wrote down the names of the ingredients.
As he wrote it down, he could see images flickering in his mind, almost as though the book was asking him what he was trying to put into the text through their connection. The book knew all the ingredients, it just waited for him to put the names in.
The Alchemy God wrote the names of the 12 ingredients of the Twilight Consuming pills. For the last one, he wrote the Sky Gold Jade leaf variant as the ingredient. A flash of information came to his mind and he confirmed the ingredient. Whitesong had known about the variant for a long time now, and if he had been the one handling the ingredients, he wouldn\'t have made such a simple mistake. But his subordinates weren\'t as talented as him or had the same opportunities as him.
Unlike him who had a brother he could rely on to provide for him while he trained day and night to become great at Alchemy, the others had no one. No doubt they would make this simple mistake.
That was one of the reasons why he had now become so curious about Alex. He could have never imagined a simple Immortal to ever notice such a small difference, especially in the middle of an intense competition.
The book\'s face suddenly glowed, now having accepted all the ingredients. The page flipped on its own, turning to a blank one. But it wasn\'t blank for long.
Text appeared on it almost instantly, a recipe. It was a recipe different from the Twilight Consuming pill, that made use of the ingredients in different order. The Alchemy God ignored the recipe and flipped the page, coming across another recipe, different from the one before with the order of ingredients changed again.
He flipped again. Every flip led him to a new page with a new recipe. The recipe didn\'t just tell him how to make a pill with those ingredients, but also what those pills did.
He could get the pages to order themselves in various orders, and right now, it was ordered by which ingredient came first.
Because he knew the recipe for the Twilight Consuming Pill, he flipped to the page where it would be closest to that recipe. He found it a few hundred pages later. It felt like there were no more pages after that, but if he kept flipping the pages, the pages would continue appearing.
It wouldn\'t even stop when all the possible recipes with the ingredients were provided already. It would begin adding new ingredients and start giving other options.
Truly a book of endless recipes.
Having come across the recipe that had to be the one that Alex used, he noticed that the pill Alex had made fit the description of the pill that was written there.
That was to say there had in fact been a mistake today while handling the ingredients, and Alex had managed to not let that ruin his attempt.
The Alchemy God closed the book and placed it into his Soul Space before looking at Alex. The flames that surrounded the two were now gone completely. "Before I leave, how did you know the ingredient was not right?" the Alchemy God asked.
Alex raised his hand and released a strong Metal aura. "I have a very good Metal spiritual root and have managed to learn the True Metal Dao through it," he said. "I am very sensitive to ingredients that have metal energy within them."
Showing off his True Metal Dao was something quite serious, but Alex needed something to throw away the Alchemy God\'s scent from what other possibility there could be.
"I see," the Alchemy God said, smiling. "Then I shall keep my eyes off you. Best of luck for the upcoming competitions. Goodbye."
The Alchemy God left.
