Someone from the Eastern Continent returned a few months later to deliver the news that the Dragon Emperor would be happy to receive both the Alchemists and Alex 10 years later.
With the date set for 10 years in the future, Alex spent some of the time he had teaching the alchemists.
The rest still went into improving his techniques or trying to make the new pills.
He continued with both of them, along with his cultivation base, and before he knew it, another 6 years had passed.
The continent improved a lot in these past 6 years. In fact, since he had taken up the throne nearly a decade ago, the Southern Continent had found a newfound strength that wasn't there before at all.
With all the improvement he had done through his alchemy teachings, his royal alchemists were now easily making pills in the Immortal grade.
In fact, most of them easily crossed 80%, some even reaching 90%. However, they still found it hard to fill the final gap.
