Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2327  Moving Places

If it was just Dao, Alex could defeat it easily. But it wasn\'t. He needed to weaken the Ice property that the old man\'s Spiritual root had now gained. And for something as delicate as a Spiritual root, he couldn\'t just force the Dao of Fire directly into it.

He needed to mellow out the effects so it didn\'t directly harm the Spiritual root. That would only happen by mixing together a bunch of other energies onto the Fire energy to make it tamer.

That was just what making pills was. Alex needed now to understand 2 things precisely. First, he needed to know the combination of energy that would be the best to help the Spiritual root. And then, he needed to know the ingredients that would be best fit to reach that combination.

As long as he did the first part, the second part could be done.

Alex had made a pill that improved one\'s Water roots before, so he simply needed to tweak the pill a bit to regress it instead of improving it further. There was more to the pill than just that, but that was the gist of it.

He wanted to spend the whole day doing just that, but he found himself distracted. Every time he tried to focus on his own thing, he could sense someone outside trying to come talk to him.

They would leave a while later, but then someone else would come.

\'This is annoying,\' Alex thought. He couldn\'t work like this. He needed to get out of this place.

After waiting for the rest of the day, when night fell, he walked out of his room and made his way outside of the edge of the city. By being invisible, concealed, and using his Yang Qi to destroy all Spiritual sense that could search for him, he was no longer disturbed.

Unless someone was specifically looking for him, he couldn\'t be found.

Alex dropped the aura after a while as he reached the old man\'s hut. He knocked on the door and waited.

The old man walked out, surprised to see Alex. "Did you need something?" the old man asked.

"Would it be alright if I stayed here?" Alex asked. "I am getting disturbed multiple times a day at my place."

The old man looked at him. "Was it you that called the Pill Clouds yesterday?" he asked.

"The pill Clouds? Oh yes, it was yesterday. I felt as though it was much earlier than that."

"And the Dao?" "The Dao of Ice? That was me too," Alex said. "I needed to learn it to figure out more about your issue."

The old man was stunned. "You learned a Dao so you could help me?" he asked. It was an absolutely unreal thing to hear someone say. How in the hell could someone so casually learn a Dao just to help someone else? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Yes," Alex said. "Although, I suppose I took advantage of the opportunity. You did give me something potent with Ice Dao, and not just any regular aura, but one that came from Heaven itself. I had an amazing time learning from it."

The old man failed to keep his jaw shut at the face of such a shocking statement. "You… really are something."

"So… can I stay here?" Alex asked.

"Yes. There are many empty rooms. Although you won\'t find the facilities here that you may in other places. Privacy is quite lacking too."

"That\'s alright. I\'ve brought my own formation plates. I will be fine so long as people don\'t realize I\'m here."

The old man let Alex in after that and allowed him to stay in whatever room he wanted. There were many empty and none in use.

Alex quickly set himself a place to train in. He realized that he wouldn\'t be helping Scarwolf tonight, and most likely for the rest of the following nights. He sent a message to tell him that.

He would teach the man when he had time some other day, but for now, he was done.

Alex quickly lost track of time once again as he began trying to learn what would affect the Spiritual root the most. The two questions he needed answered were the ones he was trying to answer.

The energy for the required pill was something he was having a hard time figuring out. It wasn\'t that he couldn\'t come up with anything, but that he was coming up with too many ideas, and he needed to be sure which one would work.

He didn\'t have anyone to test it on.

Alex certainly wasn\'t going to test the old man when he didn\'t even have his Spiritual roots back. If he did get it back, the one in Alex\'s hands would die, and then testing would again be difficult.

The issue with testing on the Spiritual root he had on his hand was that he didn\'t have a way to deliver the energy from the pill into the Spiritual root. That was where eating a pill would come to aid, but there was no eating involved here.

It felt like Alex was stuck in a dilemma for a while where the only right choice seemed to be that he needed to experiment on the old man. As he came along to think that was the only way, he came up with a rather intriguing idea.

"If I create the final energy on my own, and put it into Spiritual root directly, it can work, can\'t it?" Alex thought.

The Divine Elemental Accord allowed him to create the energy that would go into pills to fill them up. Could he not just create that and pour it into the Spiritual root?
