Chapter 66：Put a lid on it (2/2)

Alex had already noticed her entering his room and had decided to ignore her for now. He was in the final stages of forming the pill. Thankfully, the pill-splitting Qi did not rise from inside him. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain her.

As soon as he finished making the pill, he opened the lid. He could feel the strong energies in the cauldron leak away as soon as he opened it.

'I should quickly learn some method to do something with those energies,' he thought.

He was about to take out his pill when suddenly, it flew off on its own. He looked to the side and saw his master holding it. He hadn't looked at the pill himself and was waiting to learn what its harmony level was.

Ma Rong took out her pill tester and put the pill inside it. She watched as the fog started rising from the metal plate and go up the glass beaker.

The fog steadily rose along the outside of the glass. The fog ended up stopping quite a bit higher than what she had been expecting which surprised her a lot.

'33%? From an outer disciple? did unlocking spiritual sense help him or is he just that talented?' her jaw dropped as she saw the harmony level of the pill he had just created.

She took the pill out and looked at it carefully. It was a slight blue pill around the size of her thumbnail.

'A 33% harmony Swift Feet pill? How did he even reach to be this good at making this pill, when this is his first day of making this pill?' she was amazed.

Alex stood from the side with a wide grin. He had seen the 33% harmony level on the pill tester as well.

”Master, I discovered something amazing.” He said.

”Did you know that using a cauldron with a lid always makes your pill come out with higher harmony levels? I saw the energy always leaked from the cauldron, and tried to keep it in with the lid, and it worked. When the pill is formed, it gets a little bit more energy overall and has higher harmony.” He said

Ma Rong stood there dumbfounded. She had just realized a few hours ago that most of the energy leaked out of the cauldron. She had some idea as to how to redirect energy and keep it inside the cauldron.

But that was still not a very efficient method, as redirecting energies wasn't the same as controlling them and keeping them inside the cauldron.

Now that she heard Alex's discovery, she felt stupid for not using a lid. She could've increased the harmony of her most recent pill, and maybe even end up with a Heaven Grade True pill.

That would've been something glorious.
