Life became quite easy for Alex for the next year. With the new work he found for himself, he began earning enough money that he didn't have to worry about anything else.
For the first 10 days of every month, he worked the best he could to knock out all the pills he had to make, and then for the remaining 20 days, he was free to do whatever he wanted.
He spent most of that time training or cultivating, and some small amount of that time going around the sect, helping the likes of Liao Xumei and others who wanted him to look after their garden.
Alex didn't need to accept that work, but he was too bored most of the days and needed something to do in between when he wanted to relax. Taking care of the poison plants was in fact a way for him to relax.
Bai Wanzhao's death was made public a week or two after it had happened, and while it had been quite a shock, it was quickly forgotten. People moved on.
