Chapter 367: Direction of Motion (2/2)

”What's going on? Does the motion have no effect on the pill?” he wondered. It felt wrong given how all the recipes continuously focused on the motion of the ingredient so much.

It couldn't be that no one before him tried to do what he was doing, and yet the recipe still remained the same. ”I must be missing some information,” Alex thought.

He continued putting in more and more ingredients and continued on moving it clockwise regardless of what the recipe spoke. Finally, he had put in all the required ingredients and turned it into powder.

”The resulting energy is still wood. It really made no difference that I changed all the direction of the motion for the ingredients,” he said. Then, he moved on to form the pill.

He first tried to pass the energy in the air, into the powder. He used elemental guidance to move the energy and passed it through where the powder was.

”What?” Alex was shocked when he saw what happened next. When the energy passed through the powder, as if the powder rejected the energy or the energy rejected the powder, the energy passed through the powder and came out on the other side with almost 90% of it still remaining.

”That's weird,” Alex thought and used Elemental Guidance once more, but it didn't really affect much. ”What's wrong? Was it because of what I changed?” Alex wondered.

He tried Elemental Guidance once more for the third and last time, and it didn't have any effect at all. He couldn't keep using it any longer, or his powder would end up burning.

So he started forming a pill. Suddenly, his pill-splitting Qi was released from his body which moved onto the cauldron and turned the powder into two separate spheres.

Two strong vortexes appeared from inside both of those spheres and started sucking in the energy from the surrounding. The energy that the Elemental Guidance couldn't push into the powder, was now being sucked by the vortex.

Alex waited for the vortex to be over. Finally, all the elements in the surroundings were gone, all devoured by the two newly formed pills.

He decided to take them out, but just then, as soon as the vortex was gone, the two pills suddenly spewed out a lot of energy that had just been sucked back into the cauldron.

They couldn't handle it all. Alex opened the cauldron and checked the two-pill inside. One of those pills was at 14% harmony, and the other one was at 12% harmony.

Even if they were together, the pill would barely be an Earth-grade pill. Compared to the Heaven Grade pill he made before this, the current pills were complete garbage.

”And that was all just because I changed the direction of the motion, wasn't it?” Alex thought. ”I still don't know how it affects anything at all.”
