Chapter 362: Alchemy Elemental Interaction (1/2)

”No!” Alex screamed. ”Pearl! Pearl!,” he shouted out loud. The space shifted on him too soon and he couldn't grab onto Pearl on time.

”Meow!” a sound came from somewhere. Alex couldn't tell what direction it was from or what distance away it was either.  However, hearing the sound, he got relieved.

”Hah! I overreacted,” he said out loud. Once he calmed down, he decided to search for Pearl. He wondered which direction he should start with when he realized that he could feel a certain connection with Pearl that transcended the disorientation of the formation.

'I can fell him through our bond,' he thought.

He closed his eyes, hearing and other senses as well as took back his spiritual sense. After that, he started walking in the direction of Pearl.

Before he knew it, he could hear a rather loud 'Meow' coming from right next to him.

”Hey, buddy. I thought you would be lost for a while. It seems we can find each other with our bond,” Alex said.

”Meow,” Pearl replied.

”Did you get the core?” he asked.

”Meow,” Pearl nodded.

”Good,” Alex said. ”Alright, time to break through.”

He opened up his status page and clicked on breakthrough. He felt his cultivation base elevate as he entered the 7th realm of Organ Tempering.

'Just a little more. If I train rigorously for the next week or two, I should be able to enter the Meridian tempering realm,' he thought.

He then dug a hole and put his formation plage and spirit stones inside it. After providing some Qi to activate it, a fire started burning on top of the formation.

Alex took out a cauldron, but it was not his Golden Jade cauldron. Instead, he took out one of the black, disposable cauldrons. He wasn't going to make pills today.

Instead, he was going to learn interactions between the ingredients and based on that, make a new pill of his own. He didn't know how long that was going to take for him to learn, but he was going to try it for as long as it was required.

He didn't immediately start adding in random ingredients. He started with some pills whose recipe he was very familiar with.

The first thing he did was recall every single thing he could about those ingredients. It wasn't very long before he learned that he actually didn't know much about the ingredients themselves, but knew quite a lot about the pills they made.

So, he decided to start with making the pills. He put in the first ingredient and waited for its energy to release.  Once the energy was released, Alex used his spiritual sense to try to sense the energy. He learned that the first ingredient produced Fire energy.
