Finally meeting

"Ten days?" Lex repeated, as he thought about the deadline. That was a lot longer than Lex was hoping to keep the Inn open. What if by then a Henali wanted to visit his new realm?

"It can't be helped," Powell said, feeling embarrassed. "The other items you've listed, while numerous, will take only a few days. But the Fire tribulation embers need to be collected freshly and stored in a special container. They will not last long once removed from the source, which is why we have none in store."

Besides the Fire tribulation embers, Lex had also asked for books and resources comprehensively explaining various cultivation concepts. This was not actually expensive, because Lex had a perpetual deal ongoing with the emporium, who were still providing him with Golden core techniques.
