Chapter 178: Experiment (2/2)
Finally, preparing 6 types of pills for the 6 different types of energy, he started making these pills once more. ”Shame there aren't any pills that have Yin or Yang energy as their main result,” he thought.
He walked into the Alchemy room and put the cauldron into the fire to heat it up. He used Qi manipulation to get rid of any remnants from the previous alchemy process and started preparing his ingredients for the first pill.
The energy produced for the first pill was none. It was a neutral pill where the resulting energy was a combination of all and thus neither of them. The resulting energy didn't align with any of the other 5 elements so he decided to start with that.
He took as much care as he could during the making of this pill, and finally, when it came time to form the pill, he used Elemental Guidance once more. He didn't expect anything to happen, and just as to fulfill his expectations, nothing did happen.
The energies were guided as expected and only some of them fused with the forming pill, while the rest of them moved away. Suddenly, the powder that was still in the process of forming the pill split into two, making two separate pills. Suddenly, two vortexes formed above the newly formed pills, sucking in all the energy from the surrounding, which was the inside of the cauldron.
Finally, the two pills were formed at 36% and 42% harmony each. ”So, Neutral energy pills aren't it” he thought.
He then proceeded to gather ingredients for the Fire energy pill. He started making the pill and after they were done being powder and the energies were up in the air, he started using the Elemental Guidance to guide the resulting fire energy. As expected it worked normally. It just guided the energy and did nothing whatsoever to move the energy.
Finally, the pill formed with a harmony of 48%. ”As I thought, Fire energy pills don't work either,' he thought.
Next up was the Earth energy pill. Similarly, he turned the ingredients into powder form and once the resulting energy in the cauldron was earth aligned, he used Elemental Guidance. This one was a failure as well. The pill only had a harmony of 45% and it was a single pill at that too.
”Sigh, not Earth either. Is my theory really correct?” he thought.
The next one on the list was a pill whose resulting energy was water-aligned. As usual, he formed the powder and once the resulting energy was formed, he used Elemental Guidance to move the energy to the forming pill once more.
The result was as expected, a failure. However, he did manage to push himself to the limit and formed a pill in heaven grade with 50% harmony.
”Good pill, but the theory still stands. I couldn't move the energy at all” he thought.
Finally, it was time for him to make a Metal energy pill.
