Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 2110 Trying the Pill Again

Alex still had his Iron Rampart Heartflower and the Elephant Scarab fruit he had purchased so long ago. He had purchased 3 sets and had fortunately had the misfortune to use just one. So, he still had 2 sets he could use.

Hence, those were not the ingredients he needed to buy. Everything else though, he had to buy. He bought any and all sorts of ingredients he thought he would need before he began his next long cultivation session. He also bought exactly 4 more White Canvas Daisies, which was all that had been found by the sect in the past decade or so.

Surprisingly, Alex also managed to find some World Defying Mushrooms. They were much less important to him than they had been in the past thanks to the Divine Elemental Accord technique. Still, it was a pretty good ingredient to have on himself just in case. So, he bought a few dozen of them in the Immortal variety.

Depending on where the mushrooms grew, they took on the Qi of that area and were of that rank. Growing up in Immortal Qi, all of the mushrooms Alex bought were Immortal mushrooms.

There wasn’t much for Alex to do outside anymore. Pearl and the rest were in the Rosesteel continent right now if he wasn’t wrong, and they would take some time before they came to visit, so he could go back to cultivating without much thought.

However, Alex didn’t want to go back to cultivating just yet. There was one more thing he needed to do before he could go back to continuing.

He arrived back at his cave and took care of a few things such as clearing the dust that had settled inside his cave as well as taking care of the weeds outside. Once he was done with those, he went back inside and prepared to make the Heavensent Invincibility Pill.

Alex had tried this before and failed miserably, so understandably, he was going to try it once again. Failure was all but guaranteed for him at the moment. The only thing he cared about was to see how far along he had come since that day 8 years ago.

Alex pulled out Memory and made preparations for the pill. That did not include preparing the ingredients, but rather himself. He could give little care about how the pill came to be at the moment since that was the least of his worries. What he prepared was himself. He needed to be ready for what he was going to face very soon.

Once he prepared himself mentally and physically, he finally pulled out the ingredients. Fire lit under Memory and the ingredients were put in one by one.

Even from the very start, Alex could feel the energy coming out of these ingredients. It was not just that the energy was too much for him to handle, but also that it was too strong.

Perhaps, the strength was more of the problem than the quantity.

Alex allowed Memory to consume all that it could, but even for Memory, it was too much to consume at once. It had to take it in slowly and that was far too slow as Alex had to put in the next ingredient.

The energy released from these ingredients reacted to one another, and Alex grimaced as a result of it. The energy was strong but still very much containable. In fact, it wasn’t even that difficult at all. But he hadn’t gotten to the main ingredients just yet, so he was preparing for it. The main ingredient came after the first 3 ingredients. The Elephant Scarab fruit was the next one to go in.

Alex controlled it to the best of his ability, and his ability was good. He could feel the tension within the cauldron. And even as he asked Memory to absorb it all, he could feel it growing unstable.

The energy was as tough they had a mind of their own and did not like being told what to do.

‘Settle down,’ Alex thought. ‘Don’t get agitated.’

He could not handle it if they got any more violent.

As if listening to his orders, the energy within the cauldron did indeed get weaker. It was the smallest bit of reduction in their violent nature, but it was a reduction indeed.

‘Huh?’ Alex thought, surprised. ‘Did they know what I was telling them?’

No. The answer came to him just as soon as he thought of the question. “Intent,” he couldn’t help but say out loud. “They understood my Intent. Or maybe I forced my Intent on them. Either way, it is Intent that is doing the work here.”

In the end, everything came down to Intent.

‘I guess I’m actively using Intent here too now,’ he thought and started forcing his will onto the ingredients in the cauldron.

Immediately, the energy that roiled around inside of the cauldron became calmer, much calmer. They were barely around three-fifths of their violent level as they were before. They had indeed settled down a lot.

Alex was very satisfied with the result. He tried using a stronger Intent than what he had just used and the energy got less volatile once again, but the level of Intent he was forcing himself to create at the moment was far too much for him to sustain for a long period of time.

So, he lowered it enough so that it would last much longer.

The energy within the cauldron was at a comfortable level for him to handle, not that different from all the other pills he was used to making.

But then again, he had only used 4 different ingredients, with only one of them being a main ingredient, and there were 12 ingredients in total in this recipe. The Iron Rampant Heartflower came next and it was easy to say that it was stronger than the fruit.

Alex plucked the petals as mentioned in the recipe and dropped them into the cauldron. Immediately, he used his Intent to make the reaction less difficult to handle.

It caused him to gain a bit of a headache while doing so, but it did help keep the pill from getting too unstable. The more violent it got the more unstable it became, so he was doing a good handling of that.

The energy within the cauldron was at a strong level at the moment, but still manageable. And then, he had to put in the next 7 ingredients.

Alex didn’t last past the 2nd one. As soon as he added the 7th of the 12 ingredients, the energy reached a tipping point where his Intent couldn’t handle it at all.

Alex tried to force it down, but that only worked to slow down the instability, not stop it. There was no stopping it anymore. He had put a lid on a pot of boiling water, all he could do now was let it spill over a bit at a time and not all at once. freēwebnovel.com

Memory helped as well, absorbing as much as it could. The rest of it was slowly let out of the cauldron a bit at a time. It went well for just about 10 seconds before the energy he let out detonated from their own instability.
