Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2221

Chapter 2221 Momo's Cultivation Night

Alex taught Momo the basics of Alchemy. By the 2 hour session, the only thing she had firmly understood was that making pills required ingredients that had to be heated and then moved around in a certain way in order to release the energy.

When the energy was released, you could then manipulate the energy to place it back onto the powder that was formed at the base and that was the pill.

She had so many more questions like how was she going to control the fire's temperature, how she was going to control the ingredients inside the cauldron, how she could get anything from not burning inside, and so much more.

And yet, that was all she knew the first day.

"I will ease you into the lesson. Learn too much too quickly and you will be overwhelmed," Alex told her. "Learning Alchemy takes time, even for Immortals. You will need to learn patience."

Momo nodded. It was only the first day after all, so she would be patient. Still, she hoped he would actually teach her more than just what he had done today. She was sure she could understand if he went a little more in detail.

Once she was done, she left the room and went back to her own. It was after dark, so she needed to read her book a bit more so she could prepare for her cultivation.

Alex and Pearl entered her room a while later when she was ready.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, the two others sitting on a rug on the floor. "Are you going to watch me all night?" she asked.

"I'll need to make sure you don't make any mistakes," Alex told her. "Not that it will hurt you or anything, but if I give you advice while you cultivate, it will be for the best."

Momo thought for a bit and nodded. "I'll start then."

She closed her eyes, sitting with her legs folded over each other, and began breathing. Her breathing was a little haggard toward the start, but soon enough she got the hang of it, and it became stable.

Alex looked around, the minute colors he could see in this space slowly pulsating toward her. Every time be breathed in, it got closer to her. And from what he could see, the black-colored light was what moved the most, pulling others with it.

"She's absorbing Qi," Alex told Pearl through his spiritual sense.

"Is she? I can't tell just yet," Pearl said. "The Qi here is just way too thin."

Alex agreed. He had trouble noticing it with his spiritual sense alone since the room was filled with Qi of much higher quality as well. With so much True Qi around, sensing the moment of some Common Qi was quite difficult for someone who wasn't specifically looking for it. Even then, one could miss it.

Momo nodded enthusiastically.

"And no cultivating," Alex said in a stern voice. "No cultivating whatsoever."

Momo nodded sincerely this time. She did not want her master's wrath.

Alex and Pearl left the room, going to their own.

"Are you not going to go gather ingredients again?" Pearl asked.

"I am," Alex said. "But I need to make pills from the ones I got yesterday. Then I will go again."

"Can I go too?" Pearl asked.

"But you can't recognize most of the ingredients," Alex said.

"Yeah, but I'm so... bored," he said. "I just want something to do."

Alex understood the sentiment Pearl had. He shared the same, but he couldn't just let him leave the place like that. "Momo needs a guardian. Once we are in the big city, you can find something to do for yourself," he said.

"Alright," Pearl said dejectedly. "I'll find something to do with Momo during the day."

"Yeah, look after her for me," Alex said. "Whisker would be the better choice since he could teach her more about Alchemy, but... Alas, he is stuck in there."

Pearl thought for a bit and asked, "This treasure only records what comes out, right??" he asked.

"Yes, I did," Alex said. "Why?"

"Could it recognize if only Qi were to come out from the Soul Space?" Pearl asked.

"I don't know," Alex said. He hadn't looked at the treasure all that much after understanding that he wouldn't be using it at all. "You should figure out if it can work like that," Pearl said. "Because if it can..."

Alex's eyes widened in shock when he heard Pearl's idea. "I completely didn't think of that at all," he said. "Thanks, Pearl."
