Chapter 64：Shocking Advancements (1/2)

Alex took a deep breath and prepared himself. Once the cauldron was at the right temperature, he put in the first ingredient. Thanks to his spiritual sense, he could see what was happening inside the cauldron to a frighteningly accurate degree.

As he moved the ingredient around, slowly burning it, he felt the ingredient release some energy from within it. He felt some of the released energy move back into the now powder ingredient while some hung about in the air inside the cauldron. Some energy even flew out of the cauldron.

He tried to catch them with his Qi, but the energy seemed to just phase through it. Ma Rong watched every step of his. She could see how accurate his Qi manipulation was and how accurate his temperature changing ability was.

Alex put in the second ingredient. The same thing happened with this one as well. Energy release out of the second ingredient as well. However, somehow the energy from the first ingredient immediately moved towards the newly released energy and 'devoured' it. He could feel the energy was still there, but somehow the 'feeling' the energy gave off was changed.

'Am I feeling the elements in the energy?' he thought.

He continued with the pill formation. Due to his increased mental capacity and being able to handle more than 5 things at once, he was able to easily handle the pill-making process.

From the first ingredient to the last ingredient, he felt like he made little to no mistake. A lot of the energy skipped out of the cauldron, but that wasn't something he could control.

By this time, the ingredients had turned to powder, and the energy behind them had harmonized to some level. Now it was time to form the pill.

He slowly started to condense the powders into a pill. There were 2 sets of energies inside the cauldron now. The ones in the powder, and the ones in the air.

As he started to condense the powder to form a pill, the energy in the air started to skip out of the cauldron. Almost half the energy from the ingredients was in the air, and somehow it had been lost now.

He stopped caring about that and started focusing on the pill formation. Soon, a pill was finally done being formed. Alex slowly took it out and looked at it,

[Qi Improving Pill: 26%

Improved Cultivation speed by 26% for 18 hours]

Alex couldn't process what he was seeing. '26%… that- that's an earth grade pill, right?' he thought. Suddenly, the pill started floating and landed on Ma Rong's hand.

”An earth grade pill!!” she somehow had a shocked face as well as a face of understanding. ”I had expected you to do good, but I didn't think you would improve so much.” She said.
