Death... and me

Yet, he quickly noticed the tense atmosphere in the room. Everyone got away from Futuxei, who kept his guard high and his eyes fixed on the pills in Roan's hands. As mentioned in the past, their cooperation was to produce the pills, with Futuxei, the other World Swallowing Cedar, acquiring at least one of them.

Everything went well until this point since Celis, Roan, and Futuxei were working to achieve the same objective. However, now that the recipe was completed and the pills concocted, what if Roan went back on his words? Or perhaps the opposite. What if Futuxei decided that he should be the only one to keep the pills? He had the highest cultivation in this place, after all.

Seeing that scene, Roan simply snorted before his hand fashed.

*Zush, zush!*

Two pills flew like bullets in Futixei's direction, who quickly used his Divine Energy to capture them. After confirming there was nothing wrong with his Divine Sense, he finally caught the pills with his hand. "That's the smart decision."

"It has nothing to do with the right or wrong decision," Roan said. "I gave my word that I would give you the pills as long as you used your comprehension of the Absorption Laws to help me create the recipe. You did that and even more. I have never gone back on my word in my life, and I'm definitely not starting now."

Futuxei narrowed his eyes. He did indeed have the highest cultivation, but he always felt like he didn't really have an advantage against Roan and Celis. Seeing that Roan still gave him the pills only made him feel a little more relieved than to have to fight for them. "Since that's the case, you guys should go. This is my home, after all. I have nothing to say to either of you anymore."

Roan shook his head. "Let's go outside first."

The three of them exited the Soul Gem Alchemist Workshop before Roan turned around. At the moment, he had an issue. Because Rean was far away, Roan had no access to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Naturally, he can't send the Soul Gem Alchemist Workshop back inside.

Of course, thanks to Sister Orb, Rean and Roan could still communicate, so he knew Rean was in the Azum Dimensional Realm, keeping an eye on Lostrai and the Universe Foundation Fragment his sentience was occupying. In Roan's opinion, Rean's decision to stay back there and wait for him was correct.

Thus, Roan had only one choice, which was to leave the Alchemist Workshop here. "Because of a few issues, I can't take my Workshop with me. I need you to look after it for me, Futuxei. I shouldn't take too long to come back."

"What?!" Futuxei felt like he had heard something wrong. "Are you saying you are going to leave this Workshop in my hands? I'm not an alchemist, but even I can tell this Workshop of yours is a huge treasure. Why would you leave it behind? Do you really think I won't take it for myself?"

Roan snorted in response. "If you want, you can give it a try. I can guarantee that none of the equipment inside this Workshop works without my presence." He wasn't lying. They were bound to Roan, so they were nothing but some huge paper weights without him.

Roan continued. "Anyway, you have nothing to gain from keeping it. On the other hand, once I come back and find it is still here, I will owe you one. If there comes a time you want another Law Pill made, just give me the items, and I can concoct it for you. I believe you know very well just what kind of treasures they are."

"This..." Futuxei looked at his pills and couldn't help but feel excited. If he can get another one in the future, he could even trade it for a huge amount of resources for his cultivation. That's how precious Roan's pills are. "Fine. It's not like I'm going anywhere anyway. But you better don't play any tricks against me."

"If I do, you can just destroy everything," Roan answered. "The equipment inside is not something that can be easily replaced. I very much would like to have them back later."

"Roan, I got everyone," Celis then approached Roan. Since the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm wasn't available, only Celis's Pocket Dimensional Realm could be used to carry others. Naturally, he was the one who took all the alchemists from Earth and Sunkan Planets. It's just that Celis usually never used his Pocket Dimensional Realm since he also had access to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

Roan nodded and prepared to leave. But he saw how Futuxei looked at the pills in his hand, so he gave Futuxei a warning before leaving. "Don't forget, take one Earth Life Pill and one World Swallowing Pill at the same time. Once you finish with them, the effect of the next pills will be very limited, pretty much nonexistent. If I were you, I would keep that second World Swallowing Pill for some other occasion. Well, that's up to you. I'm out."

Roan and Celis then took flight and opened a Spatial Gate in the skies. They quickly entered it and disappeared right after.

Futuxei then looked at the Alchemist Workshop that stayed behind. "Why didn't they simply put this thing inside their Dimensional Realms?" he couldn't help but wonder. Out of curiosity, Futuxei tried to bring the Workshop into his own Pocket Dimensional Realm.

Yet, it didn't matter what he did. He simply couldn't bring a single item from there into his Dimensional Realm. It was as if everything in there completely ignored all laws of space and rejected them. "A treasure indeed..."

He pondered a bit and shook his head in the end. Roan's offer was indeed a very good one, so it was worth keeping it. Futuxei then found a corner and prepared to take both pills. It was time to make use of all his efforts.
