Once the girls apologized and left, Alex went to the reception to see if he could buy the ingredients.

Fortunately for him, there were more ingredients available for one of 4 remaining ingredients. Immediately, he bought those and waited for them to get transferred to the guild later on.

It took him exactly 3 days to gather everything he needed and two more to finish working on them. 

For the next 3 days, He did nothing but study the different shapes of the powder he could produce.

Finally, after exactly 20 days, Alex had done it all. Now, all that was left was to make the pill. 

To say that he was nervous was to understate it. He was scared. This was not only a very important pill, but it was also a pill that was going to make or break his relationship with one of the greatest sects and one of the greatest families of the empire.
