Seeing Stina was here, Alex took out one of the Strength Spirit Pill and tossed it to her.

"This…" Stina looked at the blue crystal rounded object with a confused expression. Even though Alex had offered to give her and the others a medicine for their assistance in getting the medicinal ingredients, no one had yet to know what kind of medicine they would get.

"That is the promised medicine," Alex said nonchalantly. "Swallow it and the pill would do the rest."

Astonished, she blinked a few times, observing this tiny little pill. She swallowed it without any hesitation, making Alex astonished. However, considering she was also his contracted beast, he could somehow understand it. Or at least that was what she heard from Anya.

Anya told her that in his group, you would entrust your life to him as he would also entrust his back to them, connecting them by an unshakable loyalty.

Her swallowing the pill proved that she trusted him, not only for Kyle but as his contracted beast, though she was too surprised by the pill. The moment she swallowed the pill, it melted inside her mouth, bursting out a ridiculous amount of energy.

The weird thing was the energy did not burst out of her body or fill empty space like gas. Instead, it slowly moved toward her throat just like a liquid before slowly entered her stomach area. In that place, the energy slowly spread around her body, especially her heart, making her full of energy.

The fire inside her started moving without her control, refining this energy. After several minutes, the energy completely assimilated with the muscle on her body, increasing her strength by a hundred dragons. This was the process that Alex experienced earlier.

"..." She slowly opened her eyes, looking at Alex with shock and amazement. "To think there is a divine medicine like this… and this divine medicine comes from medicinal herbs that we thought useless…"

"I am not going to teach anyone about this though. Besides, it will be bad if we circulate this pill as a reward for the time being. At least, distribute it right before we leave." Alex said, thinking of the greed from the other continents, especially Dragon Race since they were a race that was proud of their strength.

Stina pondered for a moment before nodding her head. "At the very least, I hope my daughter and at least a few others can receive the pill for their contribution. This can convince the others that this pill has no side effect or poison in it. This way, when we distribute the medicinal ingredients\' reward, no one would complain because we have proved it. After all, there might be people who would try to claim this medicine as an evil pill."

"Right. Whatever their reason, whether they want to acquire the method to make the pill or anything, there would be someone who is too foolish. Should we change the reward and just exchange the medicinal ingredients with Spirit Stones?" Anya said, glancing at Alex.

Alex simply shook his head, "I don\'t really need that many medicinal ingredients anyway since I plan to sell it to the Blackwade Clan when we get back. If we change the reward with the Spirit Stones, we only have around 250 million Spirit Stones at the moment, it would not be enough to reward all of them.

"However, if we use the pill as a reward, we can just claim one hundred rank 6 medicinal ingredients for one pill. Because this pill is still unknown, it raises the price by much, so they would not think we are tricking them. Besides, they are the ones who collect the medicinal ingredients for the pill anyway.

"I use nine medicinal ingredients and one monster core for the ingredients. If we make at least fifty medicinal ingredients for a pill as the price. We will get 40 medicinal ingredients for the refining fee." Alex explained, thinking 40 rank 6 medicinal ingredients for thirty minutes pill refinement, it was far worth the price.

Anya could relate what he meant as she turned to Stina. "Still, we could only give the people who were directly involved with the search. So, I think it will be your daughter and a few elders as test subjects."

"Yes. There are only my daughter and five elders." Stina nodded.

"By the way, how much rank 6 pill on the Northern Continent?" Alex asked Anya.

"Around one million to ten million. This Strength Spirit Pill is around 7 million in Perfect Quality. There are several rare pills that can go more than ten million or even twenty million, but it was a rare and hard pill to make. I think it will be better just to buy it from someone if we need something like that." Anya explained.

"Indeed. If I make three pills, I will get 21 million. And I don\'t even need to buy the ingredients." Alex nodded before shrugging his shoulders, looking at how easy it was to make money. Maybe he should do more other world exploration, grab the resources there and sell it somewhere else. Albeit, he needed the ability to travel between worlds first as this one was pure coincidence.

He looked at Stina and tossed another Strength Pill. "This one for the current queen. I have not made the others, so it will take a while."

He would most likely need to stay here for a few months since he needed to be a Martial Emperor before challenging the Naga Race. He muttered. "Is there another way to get stronger in this world other than the usual way?"

Stina heard it and shook her head. "There is not. Our biggest benefit is our trial gate, where we can get an inheritance. I haven\'t heard any other way since a few thousand years ago."

Alex could only sigh. The only path for him was to increase his strength to 9-Star and use an Energy Pill to reach 10-Star. After that, he would consolidate his power and breakthrough to the Martial Emperor before challenging the Naga Race.

"Alright." Although disappointed, Alex did not really mind since he did not need to have war or competition and could increase his strength peacefully. "Alright. I will make the rest of the pills bit by bit."

"Yes."

"Since there is nothing more, I will continue my training," Alex said to Anya and Stina before walking toward his room.

He finally entered the last two training sessions he needed, Array and Body. He first trained his Array Mastery, wanting to learn a couple of arrays that would help him. Of course, the first three would always be Gathering Array, Illusion Array and Simulation Room. He already stretched too much when he practiced his Alchemy with Rank 5 Simulation Room, so with this new rank 6 Simulation Room, he could start learning other pills more efficiently, albeit it was for a later date.

He also practiced a certain array even though it was not the time yet. There was only one reason which was to help him in his fight against that Dragon Prince, especially because of his attack a few months ago. Even though he was convinced that he only wanted to tell him how strong he was, Alex did not forgive him. Although he would not go as far as killing him, beating him black and blue was a must.

Last but not least, he practiced a certain array that he always wanted to learn, the rank 6 Barrier Array, the fundamental array for Special Realm, Ruby Phantasm Array but Space Element Master usually called this array with Extended World Array.

This barrier array was different from the other barrier arrays because it allowed him to control the flow of life by utilizing his Space Element. The Space Element would bridge the outside world with the inside world, letting necessary elements like air and such to flow inside.

And by utilizing the rank 6 Array, Boundary Illusion Array, he could create a cover that could hide this special array from the outside world and lastly, he could use rank 6 Gathering Array to absorb enough energy to maintain this Array, thus creating a special realm.

However, there was another trick for this. If he was a Martial Emperor, he could infuse his soul, making a limitation for a special one to enter. For Zwaka, he set it so only Martial Grandmasters could enter while making a time limit of a few ten years before opening it automatically. As for Maxwell, only the person who had his token would be able to enter, like Mithra and him.

Alex was planning to use this array to make this special realm as his base of operation, which led Anna to create a lousy base.

After that, he trained his body according to the instruction of Dragon Strengthening Technique.

The training was actually insane as it was training to expand the limiter inside one\'s body. For example, when people thought they could hear ten kilometers, they would be forced to run more than that.

Alex punched the air for a few thousand times until he felt he could not do anymore as he was too tired. However, according to the Dragon Strengthening Technique, this was only the mind that made him think like that.

He just needed to convince himself to do another punch. Thinking like that, he made another punch before convincing himself to throw another punch. The process repeated itself again and again until Alex could not feel the muscle in his arm anymore.

Doing this again and again would then start expanding his limit, thus increasing his overall strength. Of course, doing this as a normal person would strain their muscle and might die because of exhaustion. It was different from cultivators like Alex. He only needed to rest for a while, absorb the energy, and he would be back in full strength.

This technique wanted to teach Alex that his brain was the limit. He just needed one more after his \'Limit\' then one more and more until his legs gave up, letting him fall to the ground.

It was the first time for Alex to train his body until he collapsed on the ground, too tired to do anything. He finally experienced the feeling of Rose and Evelyn from his devilish training. If they knew Alex wanted to use this method to train them, they might immediately destroy this Dragon Strengthening Technique book and escape from him, unless they truly wanted to go to the path of no return, the Ultimate \'M\' Path.

However, just like Rose and Evelyn, who had him to take care of them, he also had Anya. She always came by the moment she noticed Alex had passed his limit, taking care of him. Sometimes, she would create a good mood between them and sometimes Alex would do that.

Before long, Alex decided to finally accept her. Alex certainly did not accept her because she took pity or made her wait for so long.

It started from the sins trial, making him realize that Anya was also in his heart. In this training, she always made him number one despite having many responsibilities under her shoulder.

If it were Shelka, she would jump on Alex and do many irreplaceable things like stimulating his body and going all the way. However, Anya did not do that. She simply put all the work down and headed to him, wiping his sweat, making him comfortable despite laying on the hard ground.

They did not do anything perverted. They just purely built the relationship slowly but surely and Alex thought he was happy even without anything lewd, helping him decide to move forward. Until finally, in a certain good mood, Alex decided to take a step forward. Tears of happiness even fell from her eyes at that moment. Even Sherry gave them room and was happy for Anya even though she was longing for that too.

Anya poured every bit of emotions she had been holding for thousands of years like Anna.
