Chapter 2233 Some Progress
Momo gasped and grabbed her mouth in shock at the sight of Whisker talking. "You can speak!" she said.
"Of course, I can speak," Whisker said. "Why would I not be able to speak?"
"But you're so... tiny," she said. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"That has nothing to do with speaking. Besides, I can grow," Whisker said, slowly growing until he was the size of a regular cat. It was quite large for a mouse.
"Oh... you're not cute anymore, Uncle Whisker," Momo said. Whisker shrunk back to a smaller size. "I do not want to be called cute," he said.
"Anyway, this is Whisker, and he will be in charge of teaching you," Alex said. "Pearl is a good teacher... but he's nowhere near as good as Whisker when it comes to cultivation and alchemy. He will teach you while I am gone."
"Okay," Momo said excitedly. "Then does that mean we can start learning now? It's been a week since I became your disciple but I haven't even tried to make a single pill, master."
Alex thought for a bit. "No, let's wait a little longer. You are not ready yet," he said. "Whisker, help her with her cultivation for now. I will need to go make some pills."
Whisker jumped down from Alex's hand and landed right on Momo's shoulders. "You can leave it to me, brother. I will take care of her."
Pearl looked at everything around him and asked. "Wait, so what do I do now?" he asked. Without the need to teach Momo, there wasn't much for him to do."
"You can do whatever you want," Alex said. "I think you should cultivate. If you reach the Immortal Origin realm soon, it will be great."
"I would rather do that once I have the pills, brother. I'm so used to that speed that anything less just doesn't feel right," Pearl said. Alex sighed. "Then you'll have to wait a few more days for me to get the ingredients for the better ones," he said.
Pearl shrugged. "I suppose I will wait for a few days then."
He made the other pills, taking no break in between at all. One by one, he finished the rest of the pills. All in all, it took him about 6 hours to make all of the pills. By the time he was done with it all, he could feel a significant reduction in Qi inside of his dantian. He hadn't cultivated in a while.
He needed to improve the pills once he had Qi, so he began cultivating right away. Without a pill, as Pearl mentioned, cultivation did little for him than fill up his emptied dantian.
To properly cultivate, he would have to use the many cultivation pills he had inside of his soul space, which he didn't have at the moment.
'Can I use my Soul Space once this competition is over?' Alex wondered. There was no information about it. The only thing he knew for certain was that he wouldn't have to wear the medallion when he was done with the first competition.
Maybe he would be forced to wear it during the other competitions too, but outside of it, he shouldn't have to.
'It has been 10 years since I broke through,' Alex thought. Pearl had broken through to Immortal Ascendant 9th realm recently, but he had done so a decade ago.
He had slacked off a little since then, but he had still been cultivating to reach the next realm.
The Immortal Origin realm was when he could start using the technique he received from Reverend Sixghost, so Alex was looking forward to that day. Surely he could do it within the next 2 decades.
Alex cultivated for over a day before he was filled with Qi. This was the point where his cultivation would improve him, but he stopped as he did not have the time.
Instead, he needed to complete the pills as soon as possible.
Alex pulled out one of the healing pills and held onto it. Using the Divine Elemental Accord technique, he began pouring a copy of the energy within the pill to fill in the spots that were empty.
It filled it right until the end and then beyond.
Pill clouds began forming around him and Alex allowed it to form outside as well so he could have an easier time with the pill lightning.
Since he revealed the pill clouds for everyone to see, the lightning bolts would be normal as compared to the ones he had to face after the Ritual oath.
He took a deep breath looked at clouds above him and prepared for the lightning bolts.
