Alchemies
Chapter 23: Forging the 9th Muscle of Nature
Alex practiced both methods of moving many objects with Qi.
The first was where he hit the object with his Qi, and moved it separately.
The second wrapped all the objects with his Qi at once, and moved those objects with Qi.
He found that the two methods are different.
The first
The problem with this method is that it requires a lot of concentration.
The second one requires no concentration at all. As long as he wrapped the items up with his Qi, it was easy to move with his orders.
He decided he would learn both ways of manipulating items with Qi. He came out and brought a bigger stone and started practicing.
Right now, he could easily pick up a 2-kilogram item at once, and move it according to his orders. When separated, he can take 3 different objects, each weighing 500 grams, and move them all one by one.
He quickly understood the method. After 2 hours of doing this, to do his he spent half his original Qi.
He then stopped and lowered his lantern. It's time to study Flame Mastery.
He opened the lid, and saw the fire inside. Transferring Qi according to the orders of the Flame Mastery Scripture.
Without a second thought, he began to move and manipulate the flames. With his thoughts, he changed the shape of the fire into a cube.
It changed very quickly. He put in more Qi, and the size of his fire also started to change. The fire began to enlarge
He saw a huge fire in front of him. Then, a thought came to his mind, "Can I divide this fire in two?"
He slowly willed the fire to make a crack in the middle. Surprisingly, the flames did not fight him at all. Within a few seconds, he managed to split the fire in half.
He removed one of his parts, and it returned to being the flame of the lantern. He now had another piece of flame hovering in front of him to play with.
He tried to break down the fire, once again and started manipulating it separately. He tried to use the Qi manipulation method to control the flames. It's working.
He let go of the fire, and the fire disappeared. A confused expression now appeared on Alex's face.
" it was so easy yesterday to manipulate the Fire is not that easy. It took me about 8 seconds to change its shape, but now I can do it in less than 6 seconds? What's changed?"
"Could it? My new qi?" he looked inside himself to see that powerful and hot qi. “Hmm... my qi seems to be in harmony with fire. Is that why it suddenly gets easier?” he thinks he's cracked the source.
The day he wasted so much Qi to try to move so many objects, and practiced Fire Mastery.
Now that he had run out of Qi, he decided to cultivate. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
He woke up early about 6 and a half. He opened his eyes, it was already morning, and saw the messy stones in front of him.
Then clean it up, though,
and HHDia opened up her status. This time he wasn't surprised he was cultivating overnight,
This is normal for him now.

--------------------------------
Although his Qi had switched to Yang Qi, Qi was still written on the status page. He pressed the [Breakthrough] button and broke through to the 8th realm.
The requirement from the 7th to the 8th realms was 40,000 Qi, and from the 8th to the 9th realms was 45,000 Qi. But, for Tempering the 9th Realm muscle to Tempering the 1st realm bone was 100,000 Qi.
'Is it because they are two different great realms, and not a small separation between them?' he wonders.
He had just gone through 2 breakthroughs, and He felt more power within him than before. The amount of Qi also increased.
He once again looked at that time, realizing he had gone away now that it was almost 7 am and hurriedly logged out
After dropping out of the game this morning,
He went to university, after a full day of classes.
he returned to his room, and could not wait to hear his echo.
After he entered the game, it was already afternoon.
He walked out of the room towards the outside of the Alchemy hall and queued up to help. He talked to the group about pill-making aids, while waiting for someone.
He began to understand a few things about why alchemist aids were important. Normally, in the process of alchemy, an alchemist had to take care of 3 different things.
Fire, the materials inside the cauldron, and the materials outside the cauldron. They should maintain the temperature of the fire and mix the ingredients in the cauldron properly. It's very important.
Alex didn't have to wait long before a female disciple accepted him as a favor. This was the second time he had gone to a place like the Alchemy Hall.
The female disciple quickly got the room, Alex followed behind her and entered.
The girl handed him a bag of ingredients, and the girl explained the names of the ingredients.
If he mentioned the name of the material, the alek should enter the cauldron
The girl looked at the black cauldron that was already heating up inside the room, she immediately used the black cauldron.
One by one, the name of the ingredients came out of the girl's mouth. Alex gave him the materials he asked for. Within half an hour, he managed to concoct a pill.
The girl took out a pill testing tool and put a newly formed pill into it.
18%. This was not a bad thing for pills made by inner sect disciples.
The girl put the pill in a bottle and kept it in her bag. There were still many of the same materials left in the bag Alex was holding. He brought several sets of the same materials.
The girl started making the pill once again. He tested it and it turned out to be 18% as well.
Alex looked at the bag in front of him. The amount was enough one more time to make a pill. The girl did it again. Everything goes the same way.
Once again, the girl managed to concoct a pill.
He took out a pill from the cauldron and put it into the pill testing tool.
20%T%. The female disciple managed to concoct a 20% harmony pill%. For the first time since he saw her, he smiled.
The girl kept the pill in the bottle and looked at Alek. "Give me your sign." She said.
Alex handed it to him. After transferring his points, he returned them to him and left the Alchemy hall.
He walked out of the Alchemy Hall, and once again waited outside to provide help. Someone else came later and took him.
She worked as a maid about 12 times before 12 a.m. Some students gave him a complete recipe, some just gave him a list of ingredients and the name of the ingredients .
He studied a total of 4 new recipes. Every time he learned a recipe, he knew right away that someone had made a mistake. It was as if the recipe was already ingrained in him, and he knew everything about the recipe.
After watching the alchemist perform so many times, he began to get used to it. There were even times when he knew that they were making a mistake without knowing the pill recipe.
He gained a total of about 60 points. Some made a lot of pills, some gave him a little extra.
After returning to his cottage at 12am, he began practicing qi manipulation and the Fire Mastery Scripture. He studied each method for 3 hours, and before he realized it, it was already 6 in the morning.
He wrapped his Qi around the lantern and slowly lifted it up to hang it on the ceiling. He then used his Qi once again to throw stones out of the room, one by one. After everything was gone and the room was clean, he logged out.
