Chapter 2277 A Rhythm

It took Alex nearly 3 hours to finally sense the aura of the Dao of Time Awareness. His surprise was immense when he finally did, as it was so subtle compared to all the aura that kept coming from the Voidgate.

The fact that he sensed something so subtle meant he was getting closer to understanding what it was. He was still months away at the very least from learning the Dao of Time Awareness, but this was a good first step.

Alex tried to test out some more aura he sensed, but it was difficult to separate one aura from another since they were so similar.

He couldn't tell if the time aura he sensed, aside from the ones he knew, were two different auras or just two different intensities of the same aura.

He learned what he could for a few hours and finally stopped as the Voidgate returned to its natural state, where it was nothing more than a thin sliver of an opening in space.

He finally stood up.

"You're stopping?" Rosemist asked.

"Yes, that's enough for today," Alex said. "Thank you for the opportunity."

Rosemist nodded. "You can stay here some more if you want. Learn a bit more," she said.

Alex smiled. "I could, but I need to go. I need to teach my disciple, and I have some pills to make. I'll come back when I'm done with what I need to do. Might take a week or so."

What Alex taught her had increased in difficulty as well. Two months later, when she finally entered the True Disciple realm, he began teaching her how to create new pills.

Using random elements to come up with an entirely new pill was a technique any alchemist needed to master. It tested not just their understanding of Alchemy but also their understanding of elemental interactions, which was even more vital.

Momo created two simple pills in the first month, one that slightly heightened one's five senses, and another that changed the color of one's hair to match the color of their eyes.

It wasn't a particularly useful pill, but it was something she had made, so she was quite proud of it.

While she was proud of the pills, she wasn't as proud of their quality. After all, making a pill recipe that worked wasn't all there was to creating a new pill. One needed to improve upon the recipe as well, and that required a different kind of talent.

Understanding the Composition and Structure of a pill was high-level knowledge for a True Realm cultivator like her, but when Alex remembered that he had been even weaker than her when he learned about it, he began teaching her.

He didn't teach her everything; he only gave her ideas on what to do. He didn't want to rob his disciple of the joy and satisfaction that came with discovering something all on her own.

That also gave him much-needed freedom and time to make his own pills, cultivate, check on the roses, and learn by the Voidgate.

Whisker had returned to his Soul Space for the time being. He wasn't needed here anymore for the time being, as Alex would be teaching Momo himself. His inner world, however, needed desperate attention instead, as plants and animals were entirely under Whisker's care. So, Whisker had gone back to take care of things inside his Soul Space.

Alex, of course, had what he could on his own while Whisker was out, but with two powerful trees growing inside his Soul Space, he needed time and attention to take care of them within his Soul Space—something he didn't have at the moment.

Whisker alone needed to be there to keep an eye on things and make sure nothing went wrong. Once he was certain everything was in order, he could free himself and come back out once again.
