Alex was stunned for a long few seconds before he could react to what he heard the Sky God say.
"Is that true?" he asked. "Do you really have such a pill?"
"I do," the Sky God said. "It is a pivotal pill that anyone would want to use. I have thousands of people who wish to learn from it so they can replicate it. And I am happy to let each one try, but none have been able to. Just like none were able to become Littleflower's successor."
"Could I take a chance at it?" Alex asked enthusiastically. "It would be really helpful if I could study the pill a bit."
The Sky God considered it for a long few seconds, seemingly going through a hundred different thoughts. In the end, she nodded slowly.
"I will give you the same opportunity I give everyone," she said. "You must pay the Sky God's Palace with something of yours, and you will get a chance to study the pill. Each alchemist is forced to make the same choice, so you will be treated the same."
