Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
chapter-464

"So, it's a self-sustaining formation that will also sustain the other 2 formations forever?" Ma Rong asked with her eyes wide open. She was in absolute shock from the information she had just received.

She tried making sense of what her disciple said, and while it did make sense, she still had a hard time believing it.

"It's one of those 20 formations then?" Ma Rong asked.

"Yes, master," Alex said. "You can see why I tried to do it all by myself, right?"

"Yeah, this would've led to a lot of serious question and answer if other people found out we knew about this," Ma Rong said.

She turned back to look at the formation and took a deep breath. "I will have to remake a few rules regarding the Alchemy gardens," Ma Rong said as she started contemplating a bit.

Alex flew back to the top of the mountain and looked down, but he couldn't see anything clearly. The fog was starting to reduce his visibility by a lot. Still, he could tell how rich the Qi in the air was and knew for sure that most of these ingredients would grow with a lot better output rate.

He then tried to think of everything he'd done and anything that he had missed. Once he made sure that there were no problems with the formations, he happily flew down next to his master.

He waited for a few moments before Ma Rong was done talking into her medallion.

"Master, I believe we are done here," Alex said.

"Oh, let's go back then."

Alex nodded and walked out of the gate of the formation. There were a few people curious about the fog in the alchemy garden and were gathered around.

Alex turned one last time to check the garden and started feeling pride in what he had done. The level of ingredients that they would have now would be amazing.

He beamed with happiness as he turned around and went back to his house. Now that both of the Alchemy gardens were fitted with different things, given that the seeds they put in the right first alchemy garden grew, the Hong Wu sect would have a better grade of disciples.

He walked back into the courtyard and sat down, thinking what he had to do next. He had 4 tasks in his mind when he first went to Ma Rong.

He wanted to help her germinate the Yin Gathering tree using the Umbra Lotus that he had.

He then wanted to use the formation flags that had been in his storage forever.

He wanted to make the Mind Elating pills and eat them soon enough, and finally, he wanted to reach 100% with his Yang Purity.

Now that he thought about it, he had mostly done all of it. The only thing remaining was to eat the Mind Elating pills.

Alex brought out the 3 pills and looked at them. "I currently have a 25-meter wide spiritual sense. If the same increment is to be had, then my next 8 breakthroughs will increase me by about 24 meters, bringing me to 50 meters."

"Woah, isn't that equal to what master has right now?" he thought. "So if I eat these pills, my final spiritual sense will go farther than master's."

He still deliberated if he should eat the pills right away or not. He didn't know if it was better to eat them now, or later.

In the end, he decided to separate them by 3 realms. Every 3rd Mind Tempering realm, he would eat one.

So, he kept back the pills into his storage and stopped thinking about them for now. He looked at his storage bags and saw the many ingredients he still had.

'I need to make some more pills. Should I directly go for True pills now? For that I will have to have more than just 5% True Qi,' he thought.

So, he decided to cultivate for the few coming days and focus less on everything else. However, before that, he had something he needed to do.

Alex opened his status page and looked at it. Since it had been a while, he already had quite a few Qi he could use.

He was about to click the button when he stopped. 'Can I not breakthrough on my own?' he wondered.

He had thought about it for a while but always stopped thinking about it. Now that he had come to this spot, he finally tried wondering about it himself.

"How do people break through again? By cultivating was it?" Alex thought. That was something impossible for him. Even if he knew how one broke through during cultivation, that was not something he could do himself.

'What is wrong with me?' he wondered. 'Everyone in the real world can cultivate without falling asleep, except me.'

He had tried finding the answer to that, but no one else suffered the same thing as he did.

"Whatever," he thought and hit the button.

Suddenly, his body convulsed as a massive amount of Qi went through his body, improving it all at once. Some of the Qi also went through his brain to improve his mental ability.

He was now on Mind Tempering 2nd realm.

"If I couldn't compete with Mind Tempering 7th realm now, I can be called nothing but a waste," Alex thought.

He could tell that he should be quite close to Mind Tempering 8th realm in terms of fighting ability too. After all, his Qi density was definitely there.

Alex then sent out his spiritual sense and saw that it was between 28 and 29 meters in terms of the distance he had. 'One more realm and I will eat that pill,' he thought.

He was not starting to think about focusing solely on cultivation for the next few days.

At the same time, Ma Rong was also in her home improving herself. After starting the formations successfully, she had gotten a new sense of motivation as well as some ideas on what she could do next.
