Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

vortex that pulled in the Qi.

Alex could forget about the vortex for now as Elemental Guidance did the same thing it did, just worse.
However, he really did need to learn the technique to form the pill.

It was not just forming the pill either.
It was forming the pill with almost no gap in between the individual specks when they stuck together and had perfect symmetry in between them.

After checking the two pills that formed from the pills, he had learned that despite having a lot of gaps, having perfect symmetry made the pills devour as much energy as they could.

As he thought about it, his thoughts went towards the moment when he failed to even use the pill splitting Qi manually.
That was what he had sat down to learn in the first place.

As he thought about it, he frowned a little.
He quickly compared the Qi that was released from his hands when he let his body do the work, compared to when he manually cycled the Qi.

They were obviously the same.
So what was different?

As Alex took another bite of the mango, he was reminded of the explosion he suffered to get this fruit.

The explosion was bad, but he tried to shake the thought away for now.
As he did, he was reminded of his own understanding of explosion, and how with a single thought, he could make a tongue of fire explode.

A single thought.

A thought.

Alex immediately stopped cultivating as he activated the fire Formation again and heated his cauldron.
Then, he proceeded to turn the ingredients into powder.

He had done this part so many times, that he thought he could do it with a complete lack of vision inside the cauldron.

He wasn ’t going to be stupid right now.

Once all the ingredients were powdered, with a thought, he pulled out the Qi from his naval area.

As the Qi passed through his meridians, with him consciously moving them, he thought about why he was doing it in the first place.

He thought of splitting the Qi, forming the pill, and finally collecting the energy in the cauldron down to the pills.

As his Qi escaped his hands, exactly what he had thought of happened.
The powders were split into two portions, each portion formed into balls, and a vortex appeared to collect the energy.

He successfully made the two pills.

Then, he the pills another 2 times.
The first time, he moved the Qi around his body through the same route, however, with only intended to form the pill, and not split or collect energy.

He failed.

Then, he tried it a second time, this time moving the Qi in a different route, one he created himself, intending to only form the pill once again.

He failed this time as well.

Alex then stopped making pills altogether and went outside the cave.
He thought he was learning something, so he decided to try what he was thinking with the other techniques he knew of.

The Iron Fist Punch technique was the first one he tried with.
He moved the Qi through his body, which his body did on its own as it had become muscle memory at this point.

When it reached his hands, he let it out in the shape of a first.
The technique struck down a tree in the distance.

Alex took a deep breath and moved the Qi once more.
This time, only moving it around and not focusing on the attack itself.
When the Qi came out of his body, it dissipated as if nothing.

Next, he tried a different route but wanted to throw a fist.
The energy he released did take the shape of a fist, but it dissipated not long after.

Alex tried the same thing with several of his other techniques, and finally realized something.

”You need both the proper path for the Qi and the proper intent of the action to use a technique, ” he said to himself and went back into the cave, not thinking about it any longer.

Out in the distance, Shen Jing looked towards Alex ’s location with a horrified look on his face.
The worldly laws had stirred for a moment, catching his attention, before calming down again.

’That kid, ’ he thought with nothing but shock on his face.
’He was so close to learning another Dao. ’
