The men that had just walked past Alex had a cultivation base around the Saint Core realm. There was even one amongst the group that seemed to be in the Saint Soul realm as well.
They all wore a black robes with purple outlines and almost looked like they were all from great families going by their attitudes.
However, it was neither their cultivation base nor their attitude that caught Alex's attention.
It was the robe. In fact, more accurately speaking, it was the insignia on their robe that had caught Alex's attention.
On their left checst and either side of their shoulders, there was a circular insignia drawn in purple with a Sword in the center with a serpentine creature wrapped around it.
If it were any other place, Alex would've likely judged it to be some sort of coincidence, but in the Eastwatch city where people from the other continents were likely to come, he felt that this was no coincidence.
Because of this, he knew that the serpentine creature was no normal serpent but rather a dragon. It was the Azure dragon that was represented in the insignia, and thus the insignia and thereby the men that had just walked past him belonged to the rulers of the Eastern Continent, the Dragon Imperium.
"What are these people doing here?" Alex wondered. The thought lasted for a few minutes before he stopped thinking about it.
The only reason he was curious about them was because of the sword that was back in the beast realm. That was the sword responsible for killing Pearl's mother.
That sword had the same insignia as the one on these people's shoulders.
Alex had wondered if they were royalties, but given they looked more soldierly than anything, they probably were not.
He focused back on selling the pill and waited for another person to come by.
A curious boy, one that was at the peak of the True King realm stopped in front of Alex when he saw the notice.
"Is this a scam?" the young man asked.
"It is no scam," Alex said calmly. "I have a single pill and that is all I am selling today."
The young man wanted a pill soon enough and was planning to buy one in the near future. However, seeing such a pill available right at the moment, his urge to buy it reached an all-time high.
"How much?" the young man asked.
"I have no specific price for the pill. Anyone that can give me enough so that I'm satisfied with it will be enough," he said. Alex hadn't planned to put a price on such a pill since he had never seen such a pill being sold before.
Was 500 True spirit stones low or high? How did one compare the Harmony between a pill that wasn't even in the 70s and a pill that was 96%? Since it was difficult to put a price on the pill, he decided to let the customer do so for him instead.
"How about 250 True Spirit stones? That's enough right?" the young man asked hopefully.
Alex simply shook his head. "It's a 96% pill, not a 56% one. You will have to pay a lot more than just 250," he said.
"What about 300 then? Is that alright?" the young man asked.
However, Alex just continued shaking his head in refusal. The price was still too low.
"350?" the young man asked. That was already way more than what he usually bought pills with, so he wasn't sure if he should keep going or not.
Alex however wasn't budging at all and kept on refusing.
"Young mna, don't be duped. I bet that guy doesn't even have a pill to sell," one of the vendor owners from the side said.
"Even if he does have one, you need to make sure it's what he claims to be," another one said.
A few people turned to look at what brought on such responses from the people they were buying from. When they saw the piece of paper and the words written on it, they were immediately curious to learn even more.
So, they walked up and gathered around Alex as well.
Before the young man could even try to ask anything else, the new people started asking questions of their own.
Alex answered the question as best as he could.
He told them that he had made the pill 2 days ago, confirming that he was the alchemist behind the pill.
When asked why he wasn't selling this in an auction, Alex said that he needed money and couldn't wait until the auction. After receiving his money, he would make some more pills to sell in the auction.
"Hey, can I see the pill? I need to be sure if it is true or not," one of the people in the group said.
Alex nodded and brought out a small ceramic bottle where he had kept the pill. "This is the pill," he said while popping open the lid.
The few people checked inside and saw the pill.
"How do we tell that is it a 96% pill thought? We need to see it being tested," one of them said.
Alex frowned a little. He didn't have any pill testers on him, so he couldn't prove himself.
"Regarding pill testers, I—"
