Alex practically ran to reach the garden after learning the new technique. He couldn't wait to learn the technique, so needed to finish his work fast.
'Is it really teleportation?' he was getting a little excited.
He greeted the two elders and was handed the lists to the ingredients. He immediately walked in to start looking for the ingredients. He was looking around with his spiritual sense when he stopped.
There were absolutely no lanterns in the alchemy garden as anyone allowed to enter there was usually elders or other people with authority who already had great eyesight and could see everything in the garden clearly, even at night.
But just because someone could see at night, didn't mean there was light there. Which meant,
"It's all shadows!!" Alex got excited and decided to try out the technique right now.
