Chapter 2305 Break Down
Alex took the vial of blood he had put separately at the start and poured the content into the blood before him. He had run the large cauldron full of blood completely dry of any aura or energy, so it was time to infuse some back into it.
The blood mixed together, making the overall energy feel much less, but sadly it was still a Divine grade aura. It wasn't something Alex could just mix together and be done with.
He sighed a little.
"Did something go wrong?" Rosemist asked from the side after hearing his sigh.
"No, nothing's gone wrong. Everything is done. I just need to wait now," Alex said. "Oh, how long?" Rosemist asked.
Alex shook his head. "I have no idea. I've never done something like this before in my life. Judging by how absolutely nothing is happening, it might take a long time."
"Oh..." Rosemist said. "Can't you speed it up? What if you absorbed more of it?"
"I can't absorb the blood aura sadly," Alex said. "I need what is remaining to break down into Immortal Qi. If I try to absorb it instead, I take away what makes it strong. So even if it does end up speeding up the process, the Immortal aura that would result from it would be very weak as well."
"I... see," Rosemist said.
"I do have something else I can try," Alex said and looked at the blood before him. He had to be careful here as he needed to be ready for the backlash should there be one. He didn't believe there wouldn't be one.
Alex used his Intent, forcing just part of the Blood Aura to break down. As soon as he did it, he realized he had bitten off a bit more than he could chew. Thankfully, he was ready for that so he stopped immediately.
It took some time for it all to be done.
When Alex was done, the blood aura was still in Divine grade, but way weaker. He realized that what he had done was something that was going to happen anyway in a day or two. He had just sped up the process by a lot.
"It's done," he said. "This should make it much easier for the blood aura to break down."
Since the aura wasn't so concentrated anymore, his Intent on forcing it to break down was also more effective now. He could feel the subtle changes in the energy now and knew that if he kept it going, the energy would begin to break down.
Alex couldn't help but sigh once more.
"What's wrong now?" Rosemist asked.
"Nothing. I just realized that it is going to take some time now. Weeks, maybe months depending on how long I can spend keep using my Intent on it to help it break down."
Rosemist thought for a bit and said, "Didn't you mention this wasn't for you?"
"No, it's for a friend," Alex said. "Can't you make him do this then?" she asked. Alex paused. "Oh yeah, I should make him do this," he said, laughing a little. He was so focused on whether he could do it or not that he failed to realize that he didn't even have to do it.
"It will be his problem then," Alex said and put the cauldron away. He stood up, ready to leave. "I should be back in a few days. I want to continue training by the Voidgate."
"Sure," Rosemist said. "Come back anytime. I will always welcome you."
Alex nodded. "I will be off then." He said his farewells and left the forest in the Mistspawn mountains, returning to the Rosefall city where he would wait for Aethersage to return from the Whole Rose Garden once he found his lotus.
