Making the Pills

"Die? What do you mean?" Alex asked.

"Nothing, you don't have to worry about it," the old woman said and kept on flying.

Alex was curious but he didn't ask any further as it didn't look like she was going to answer at all. He looked away from the old woman and towards everything around him. He saw the metal dome again and wondered why Scarlet wasn't here yet.

He could sense her somewhere to the northeast vaguely, but that was about it. 

They returned back to the palace where the old woman was handed the list of pills Alex was supposed to make. 

"Let me add the pills I need in here and we will start grabbing the ingredients," Yao Ning said. "You can go rest in your room in the meanwhile. Jianhong, show the young man his room."
