Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Supreme Elemental Accord was a technique Alex had learned when he had first reached the Saint Condensation realm. It was the technique that allowed him to improve the quality of an ingredient prior to using it for the best result when making a pill.

It bypassed most limitations that Alchemists faced when it came to finding good ingredients to use for their recipes.

Now that Alex had entered the Immortal realm, he unlocked a technique that was similarly named to Supreme Elemental Accord but was dimensions better than it.

The Divine Elemental Accord.

The Divine Elemental Accord allowed any person with all 7 Spiritual roots to use the technique and improve the quality of the energy inside of a pill. In doing so, one could improve the level of a pill’s quality to the point where they could reasonably call on pill clouds.

It was a brilliant technique that turned all failed pills into ones with pills veins.

Alex was positively surprised about the technique as he read through it all, nearly jumping where he was at the excitement he felt discovering such a technique as he did.

Of course, it was not discovered as it was being handed over. Still, gaining such a new technique was a call for celebration.

Had Alex not been where he was, he would have immediately brought out one of the healing pills he gained from Pearl’s father’s Soul Space and tried the technique on it.

‘No, I can’t be hasty,’ Alex thought. It wasn’t just a matter of where he was, but also how strong he was. He had only entered the Immortal realm, so if he called on Pill Cloud now, even if nobody was here to witness it, Alex would only get a single pill vein for the pill.

To gain more, he needed to be in higher realm, and fight stronger lightning bolts.

The thought quickly calmed Alex’s excitement down to a more appropriate level. That was still a high level of excitement.

After spending some time going through the Divine Elemental Accord to see what other little information it had about it, which there were quite a few of, Alex went on to check the second chuck of knowledge that had been unlocked to him.

The second thing he had learned was no technique at all. It information, a lot of it, all seemingly connected to each other. One could only wonder what it was.

Alex looked at the information and read through it carefully. As the knowledge flowed into his brain, he couldn’t help but be disappointed.

The information on this one had been about Pill Clouds, how to call them, and what to do with them. The Alchemy God hadn’t expected anyone his knowledge was with to reach 100% harmony in Saint Realm, so he had instead decided to teach the person about Pill Clouds in the Immortal realm.

Just like with Structure and Combination, this chunk of information had one again been a colossal waste of knowledge that the Alchemy God could’ve otherwise given Alex long ago.

Alex hoped the last and final chunk to provide him with some new, but before he could move onto it, there was something in the information about Pill Clouds that Alex was not privy to.

It was new information.

Alex carefully went through this information, and as he did, his disappointment immediately turned into excitement and jubilation.

‘Now this is what I’m talking about!’

The new knowledge Alex had received was surprisingly a way for one bring on Pill clouds, but at a local level.

When a pill reached 100% harmony, it brought forth Pill Clouds. When Pill Clouds arrived, they darkened the sky, and lightning bolts came down from it. However, just as that happened in the sky, a pill cloud formed indoors as well, above the cauldron, which acted in sync with the cloud outside.

The pill cloud outside was the same as the one inside, and it was hard to tell which one was the real one. Perhaps both were the real ones.

It had always bothered Alex how every time he needed to make pills with pill veins, everyone in dozens of kilometers around him would immediately know what he was doing.

It had been a problem when he had to make pills in the Southern Continent, and then again in the Eastern Continent. However, it appeared it would not be a problem anymore.

The knowledge Alex received from the Alchemy God would teach him all about how he could hide his outer pill clouds to only use the one inside where the pill was being made.

As Alex read the information more thoroughly, he began seeing some difficulties with using this piece of information.

The thing one was supposed to do was make something called a ‘Ritual Oath’. It was a type of oath made between a man and the heavens, done to give him some benefits with things that were related to the heavens, in exchange for him overcoming some other obstacles that the heavens put in his way.

Alex wasn’t sure what sort of benefits one could get from a Ritual Oath, but in this case, it would allow him to make the heaven not announce to the world that he had called upon pill clouds.

The other side of the oath was that for heaven to not reveal such a thing, it would instead make it harder to gain Pill Veins.

From the information Alex had just read about Pill Clouds, to get the first pill vein, one needed the strength of Immortal Ascendance 4th realm. Then every 4 realms after that, one gained the power to gain the next pill vein.

By the end when the person had finally entered the 9th realm of the final Immortal realm, they had the power to gain all 9 pill veins.

However, after making the ritual, the very first pill vein required Alex to have a strength of Immortal Ascendance 7th realm. For the second one, it was Immortal Origin 4th realm.

For regular pill cloud, Alex could make 3 pill veins by then. The realms continue to skew higher and higher until they match at the same realm in the end.

Alex had to deal with a strong obstacle to hide his pill clouds from the others.

He understood that this was a very good deal, something he needed desperately. However, he also didn’t want to be at such a disadvantage.

Alas, he had to take his victory where he could afford them.

For now, he decided not to make any ritual oaths. He still wasn’t sure if he would be making any pills any time soon. He would have plenty of time to make such an oath in the end.

However, he did wonder more about Ritual Oaths, and how it could be used. Given how neither Bai Jingshen nor senior Yang ever talked about it, it was either a very dangerous topic, or it was something they did not know about.

Alex decided to not dwell on that matter for too long.

Overall, both the Divine Elemental Accord and this piece of knowledge about how he could hide the pill clouds were very beneficial information for Alex.

Seeing that, he couldn’t help but wonder if the last chuck of knowledge was just as good or not.
