Chapter 74：Unstable Concoction (2/2)

He was already tired from making 4 different pills, especially the last one. Plus, he had no need to do everything perfectly, so he was a bit too relaxed while making the pill.

He ended up making more mistakes than usual. Alex caught all of those mistakes.

'He is not getting the timing right. He keeps dropping the ingredients a bit too late, so the energies aren't getting properly harmonized.'

If only the ingredients were burnt and charred instead of turning to powder, the energy could have escaped from the cauldron. But, since they were all powder, the unstable energies were getting taken in by the powder making the powder itself massively unstable.

”Oh no,” Kong Yuhan lost control of the situation.

'It's going to blow up!' Alex immediately shot out forwards and used Qi manipulation to throw away the entire cauldron to the corner of the room.

BOOM

A massive explosion rang out from the corner, throwing heaps and heaps of energies towards their direction. Almost instinctively, Alex brought forth his hands and used Elemental Guidance to steer away as much energy from the explosion as possible.

Everyone in the room had a disheveled look as the ringing from the explosion still rung in their ears.

”What the hell are you doing?” Jia Fen immediately cried out.

Alex turned around to see Jia Fen charging at him with the intention to harm. Alex didn't understand why he would do that but immediately used his Qi manipulation to stop him.

Due to their massive gap in cultivation, he was only able to stop his for a few seconds before Jia Fen got free from his clutches and came for him once more.

”Wait brother Jia, It was my fault.” Kong Yuhan got out of his stupor and stopped the fight.

”What?” It wasn't just Jia Fen who was confused by the statement. Wei Xun also came forward looking for an answer.

”I was too relaxed and ended up making the ingredients unstable. If brother Yu didn't throw it away in time, I would have been seriously injured right now.”

”So, he didn't do it on purpose?” Jia Fen was still quite skeptical about it.

”No. In fact, I had already lost control of the ingredients. It was brother Yu's quick thinking that saved us.” Kong Yuhan looked towards the wall. The wall itself had no problems, but the cauldron was now in pieces.

”Aww… I will have to pay quite a few points for this.” Kong Yuhan turned around to look at the other 4, focusing especially on Zhou Mi, and said, ”Thankfully, none of you were hurt.”

”I'm sorry for assuming you did it on purpose, Brother Yu.” Jia Fen apologized when he got the chance.

”It's okay.” Alex understood why he was mad. He would probably get mad himself if he saw what had just happened.

They all left the Alchemy hall and said their goodbyes. Kong Yuhan kept thanking him for saving him. Alex split from the group and went back to his residence.

He looked at the time and saw it was 5 pm. 'I should be able to squeeze out 4 or 5 pills before it's time for dinner.'
