Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Alex took his time to calm his feelings down from the shock he had just received. Hearing heaven speak back to him was a truly weird event, but he needed to get over it.

“My Ritual Oath is complete. Let’s see how it works now,” he thought and began making pills.

Alex didn’t need to bother making good pills at all. All he needed to make was pills to the best of his capability with whatever ingredients he had. His ingredients were not that good to begin with, so there was no need for him to try his hardest since they weren’t going to reach 100% at all.

He put 3 of the same ingredients into the cauldron at once as he was going to make 3 pills at once.

He had adapted the recipe for the Spirit Junction pill already and knew what it was that he needed to do to make 3 of them at once to make the best of what he had.

He added the rest of the ingredients, one after another, 3 batches at a time. After close to 10 minutes, he used his 3-way pill-splitting technique to turn all of the powder into pills. When it was all over, he was left with 3 pills, each of which was above 85% and less than 90% in harmony.

Alex pulled the pills out and looked at them. He put 2 of them into a pill bottle and held onto the last one. He let out a deep breath and began using his Divine Elemental Accord technique.

His body quickly took in a small portion of the final Qi result within the pill and took a split second to understand it.

Alex didn’t even have to do that since he already knew the elemental composition of the pill, but since it was part of the technique, he did it every time.

He needed to focus if he wanted to not do the first part, and he was a bit too lazy for that at the moment.

Once his body learned of the elemental composition, his 8 spiritual roots began working at once to pump out as much of the Qi as was needed, of the same variety.

The Qi merged into each other along the meridians, and by the time they appeared through the palm of his hands, they had the exact same composition as the one within the pill.

Alex focused and the energy began flowing into the pill. Immediately the pill improved, reaching way above 90%, crossing 95% even. It was supposed to slow down at this point, but Alex used his vortex technique to draw in more energy into the pill, and it all settled within.

When the pill could no longer accept any more energy, Alex knew the pill had reached 100%. He immediately sensed the presence of something above him and looked up to see the formation of the pill clouds. He put the pill into his other hand and pulled out Midnight.

He didn’t focus on the pill cloud above him, but rather on the one that should have appeared in the sky outside. And yet the atmosphere there hadn’t changed from what he could tell from inside.

Everything felt as it was earlier. Nothing had changed.

‘My Ritual Oath truly was a success,’ Alex thought and immediately pulled back his focus onto the pill cloud above him as he sensed the arrival of the first lightning bolt. freewebnøvel.com

He didn’t need to do anything for the first one. He simply covered his fist in a layer of his own Qi, and the lightning couldn’t penetrate it at all. It wasn’t strong enough.

When the lightning bolt dissipated, part of the energy that came down with it flowed into the pill he was holding in his palm.

‘Immortal Ascendant 7th realm?’ he thought for a moment, trying to discern if it was correct or not. It did feel right from what he could tell. This was how strong Pearl was with his current cultivation base.

For the next lightning bolt, however, Alex couldn’t take his chances. He held the pill tightly and prepared to use Midnight. He wasn’t just going to use his sword, but everything else along with it.

That included Dao, Spiritual Energy, Blood Aura, and most importantly, his True Immolation Strike technique.

The 2nd lightning bolt fell and he struck it head-on. The lightning bolt flashed brightly and was immediately cut down by a thin line of fire that exploded on the ceiling. The ceiling and the wall of his cave glowed a faint hue of golden when they stopped the attack.

Alex grimaced a little when he saw that. He had to be slightly more careful. He couldn’t go destroying the mountain he was in or else he would be caught easily.

He immediately gave up on reaching any more Pill veins and the pill cloud disappeared. “Well, it’s a relief that the bolt wasn’t stronger. I should be able to make tons of cultivation pills now,” he thought as he opened the pill in his hand. There were two blue markings on it, designed like lightning strikes.

“My second veined pills,” Alex said with some minor amusement in his voice. The first one had been the one he had saved Lan Douhan’s life with from the poison. He placed the pill into the pill bottle and paused as he looked toward Memory down on the ground. “Wait… you didn’t get to eat anything, did you?” he asked. That… wasn’t good.

Alex wasn’t entirely sure of the reason, but he knew more or less that he needed to continuously feed energy to both Memory and Midnight. He simply had no idea how he would do that for Midnight, but for Memory, the idea was obvious. He would feed it energy from the pills.

However, if he was going to feed it energy that way, he couldn’t go making trash pills and then improve them through his Divine Elemental Accord technique later on.

Part of the way to feed energy to Memory, and essentially, refine the spirit within it was to call on Pill clouds and have it absorb the energy that remained after a pill lightning dissipated.

But if Alex started making pill clouds appear outside of Memory, that wouldn’t be possible anymore.

“Oh no, I shouldn’t do that,” he thought. “I will place the pill back into you when you are done making it so I can—”

Alex paused for a second more as something else came across his mind. “Wait… you can consume energy before the pill is complete too. Not just after. You have two chances to consume it,” he said.

Normally, regular cultivator’s cauldrons wouldn’t have that chance. If the pill they made was really good, they could get pill lightning. But if the energy was consumed away, there would be no chance of a pill lightning again.

But Alex was different. His techniques were unique, and very much worked together with each other.

“I can have Memory eat a ton of energy from the pills, use the Divine Elemental Accord to make the pill reach 100%, and then call on the pill lightning,” Alex said to himself.

That way, he could get Memory to consume energy at twice the rate as anyone else.
