Death... and me

Talking about Luan reminded Rean of something. "Oh, right! Are we able to enter the Space-Time Realm without those pills of yours?"

Back then, Roan said he was going to concoct pills that would far boost their comprehension of laws. Roan's one was the Darkness Mind Pill, which needed Juniry Flower. Luan was sent to the Spirit Race Territory to look exactly for that.

Rean's Pill was the Light Clearance Pill, which needed Snow Cidreira Herb. As for where to find this herb, that was only possible in the Heavens.

Last but not least, there was the Pill for Celis: the Earth Life Pill. This one needed a Wood Element Material with a hint of Wood Laws. They had no idea where to find something like that, so they posted a request on the Online Market for it.

Kentucky wasn't a problem since he has Light and Darkness Affinity. Simply put, Rean and Roan's pills would be just as useful for him.

Sister Orb then answered Rean's question. [Of course, you can! Why wouldn't you be able to enter the Space-Time Realm? It's just that once you get there, you will need to comprehend your laws on your own. Roan's Pills are only there to help you do it many times faster. It's not like you can't do it on your own. Otherwise, what would have happened to those who haven't developed pills similar to Roan's?]

Roan agreed. "That's correct. Now that I think about it, have you checked the Online Market? Perhaps, someone posted something related to Celis's Wood Element Material with Wood Laws."

"We can go outside and connect to the communication system to check," said Rean.

"We can do that later," Roan wasn't in a hurry, though.

Rean then thought about something. "Roan, now that I upgraded my Blacksmith Workshop, don't you want to upgrade your Alchemy Workshop as well? The amount of Destiny Points should be the same, so we have enough to bring it to Level 06. As you can see, Level 06 truly gave a huge boost to the Blacksmith Workshop."

However, Roan immediately refused the idea. "There is no need. At the moment, all the Pills I wish to concoct I already can with the equipment I have in my hands."

"But what if the new levels increase the power of the pills?" Rean asked back. "Wouldn't it help us in the long run instead?"

Roan already thought about that possibility. "It might happen, it might not. However, I truly would rather save these points to see if we can get the Yin Yang Cultivation Unbalance Domain. In future battles, it will be a huge help."

The system's domain was able to decrease the strength of an enemy by half a realm. However, every second it worked, it spent 1000 Destiny Points. That wasn't the main issue, either. Instead, to even buy this upgrade, the cost was five million Destiny Points! After buying the two upgrades of the Blacksmith Workshop, they now have only 933215 remaining. There was a huge road ahead to accumulate the rest.

"Five million Destiny Points, uh?" Rean wondered if it was worth the wait. "Well, you are the alchemist here. If that's what you want, I have nothing to say."

Yet, before they could put that matter to rest, Celis immediately complained. "Wait, is that it?"

Rean looked in the direction of the gigantic tree in the distance. "You were hearing our conversation?"

"Obviously!" Celis answered. "There is no one at the Void Tempering Realm and above in this Dimensional Realm that hasn't noticed the sudden change in Spatial Laws during your Blacksmith Workshop Upgrade.

Celis continued. "I wasn't planning to say anything. However, Roan, the System's Yin and Yang Unbalance Domain might be good. Yet, that is not our real strength. You are throwing away the chance to cultivate much faster, which will turn into our own strength to be used at any time we want. I thought you always prioritized our individual strength above everything else, no?"

Rean and Sister Orb looked at Roan. Sure enough, Celis's words had some effect, judging by his expression. Rean then struck the iron while it was hot. "You do know Celis is right. So what if we can't buy the domain? As far as we know, we might never get the chance to accumulate the five million Destiny Points to buy it. But what about the Alchemy Workshop Upgrade? At least this one is a guaranteed upgrade with the points we have now."

Roan continued to think about the pros and cons of the idea. Rean and Roan didn't want to upgrade their workshops before because they didn't feel it was necessary. But now that they saw what Rean's Level 06 Workshop could do, he had to admit upgrading it might be the best course of action. At the very least, it was indeed guaranteed to have some kind of results.

"Sigh... fine. Let's buy the fifth level first."

"That's more like it," Celis answered. After all, anything that could help him cultivate faster was a top priority to this cultivation maniac.

Rean smiled and nodded. Both Rean and Roan then touched the Control Orb and went to the Alchemy Workshop Option.

[Soul Gem Alchemy Workshop Upgrade Level 5 - 100000 Destiny Points]

[Confirm Purchase?]

"Yes!"

[Destiny Points: 933215]

[Upgrade Commenced.]

Sure enough, both workshops worked in similar forms by the system. Roan's Alchemy Workshop increased around five times in size, now being covered in countless Spatial Circuitry Formation Runes. Roan's Alchemy Workshop could also be moved outside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm if he wished to.

After seeing that, Rean and Roan could imagine the effects of the next level.

[Soul Gem Alchemy Workshop Upgrade Level 6 - 500000 Destiny Points]

[Confirm Purchase?]

"Yes!"

[Destiny Points: 833215]

[Upgrade Commenced.]

When it was over, Rean and Roan went inside to take a look. Many different types of equipment now covered the huge workshop, all related to the manipulation of medicines and pills. The workshop was so Circuitry Formation and Technologically advanced that the space inside was air-sealed. The workshop even had some kind of auto-cleaning ability through the Circuitry Formation Runes that didn't leave a single spec of dust around, perfect for the type of job that would be accomplished there.

Roan couldn't help but faintly smile. "Not bad... Not bad at all."
