Book 6: Chapter 223: Coming Out (3)

To say Dyon was severely injured was an understatement. Blood’s job was to travel across the body, to reach every nook and cranny. Dyon forcibly pushing it past the limits his body could handle didn’t just severely damage his heart, it also affected all of his organs. Even his bones were affected, most of them cracking and shattering under the pressure.

Unfortunately, even bones needed blood sent to them. Even worse, since they were the originators of blood cells, it was even worse for Dyon that they were injured.

In the end, Dyon had no choice but to take his second of three top of the line healing pills.

If others saw Dyon take two such pills in such a short time, they would protest about his wastefulness.

Although they were both Grandmaster level pills, this ranking was based on ancient standards and not modern standards. Remember, King Belmont’s Master and Madeleine’s Mother, despite supposedly being a Moon level alchemist, couldn’t concoct the Master level pills Dyon and Zabia needed. It was clear that the standards of these quadrants were too low.

This pill was a true Grandmaster level pill and more valuable than most of the Comet level pills available on the market right now. It was known as the Life Gathering Pill.

It had to be said that just because Dyon could concoct the Queen Fairy Earth Constitution Pill from thin air, it didn’t mean he could do so with any pill in existence. If this was the case, wouldn’t he be the richest man in existence?

The Queen Fairy Pill, the very same pill Dyon utilized to conquer the Elvin Kingdom Alchemy and Formation Guilds, was created with 5 common level plants. The Life Gathering Pill, however, required 3 Grandmaster level main ingredients, 8 Master level sub-ingredients, and 32 Practitioner level ingredients known as Balancers or Binders depending on their use and 97 Common level ingredients that served the same purpose.

One had to remember that arrays weren’t capable of recreating life. Or, more accurately, they couldn’t recreate things with strong life force. Common level plants had weak enough life forces that creating them using creation arrays was easy. However, even if his celestial level soul was unbound right now, it would be impossible for Dyon to create even a practitioner level plant.

This was why Dyon was so eager to combine Magic, Runic Theory, and Array Alchemy. He felt like only when their concepts were taken together that it would be possible to create every plant and spiritual fruit in existence without restriction.

The good news was that if Grandmaster and Master level pills were impossible for even current Moon level alchemists to concoct, then didn’t that mean that Dyon had access to quite a few Common level pills that could be comparable to even Master level pills?

The best part about these was that Dyon could concoct many of them from thin air, yet sell them at exorbitant prices. Of course, this would be left for when the Celestial Deer Corner was officially opened. Dyon was eager to steal business from the Sapientia.  

After Dyon healed, he directly took Ri to their Corner. He didn’t want her to breakthrough in the Snow Palace because the kitsune might cause problems afterward. No matter how many warnings Saru left, she was currently in her trials and couldn’t change anything until she came out.

For extra insurance, though, Dyon stored away the kitsune Ri had frozen on their way to the valley. Dyon really wanted to know if the Void kitsune would dare to act recklessly knowing that he had both their prince and princess of this generation.

“Dyon! Ri!” Eli ran up excitedly. Since Delia had left and still wasn’t back yet, he had been bored out of his mind. Although he knew it was dangerous for him to leave alone due to that hidden organization of Heaven’s Children, he still hated being cooped up like this. What he loved to most was to garden and take care of fields of plants, how could such a person be happy with staying cooped up like this?

This desire had been slightly mitigated when he had Dyon’s main spatial ring because being inside its world was like having an entire world to yourself. But, since Dyon needed the ring to save those slaves of the Soul Market, Eli had to give it up.

Dyon smiled, knowing what Eli was thinking, he handed over the ring.

Eli quickly waved his hands. “You need it, I can’t take it back.”

Dyon laughed. “No worries. I recently found out some new abilities the Demon Sage Tower has, so I don’t need them both.”

Hearing this, Eli couldn’t hold back his excitement anymore and eagerly took the ring. As soon as he touched it, he sighed, feeling a big weight fall from his shoulders.

Dyon couldn’t hide the pity in his eyes. ‘Hey old man, do you think there’ll be a problem if Eli walks around the Corner with the barrier still up?’

‘I won’t lie to you, even if Eli stays here his safety isn’t guaranteed, let alone if he goes out. You’re underestimating Heaven’s Children too much.’

Dyon sighed. ‘Since he’s in danger no matter what, keeping him locked up like this will only be harmful to him… Alright.’

“I have a job for you Eli, I wonder if you’re interested.” After Ri left to start her breakthrough, Dyon finally brought this up.
