Chapter 465 - True Pill Making
Meaning, she had to find a way to suppress her body enough to keep it on the same level as when she had it unawakened.
There were ways she could do that, but none of them felt as good as the most dangerous one she could think of.
Ma Rong sighed and looked back towards the Forbidden Fields, for that was the only thing that could truly suppress her.

A week had passed in the blink of an eye and Alex opened his eyes after cultivating for the entirety of the night. He now had around 20% of his total Qi as True Qi.
He had also learned that after 20%, his Qi wouldn\'t change to True Qi no matter what. Meaning, that even if he cultivated forever, his Qi wouldn\'t turn to True Qi if it was already there.
The next thing he had learned was that if he did not cultivate, and instead let his body gather Qi passively, then he wouldn\'t get True Qi at all.
So, if he ever spent all the 20% of the True Qi he had, he would have to go back and cultivate all over again to gather it. And given how he was using it, he definitely needed to do that.
For the last week, aside from cultivation, he had also started making True pills. While he wasn\'t really good at it due to having not as much True Qi, or due to energy in the pills being too strong to control with his barely formed True Qi.
Alex stood up and went back to the alchemy room to make the pills once more.
He put the cauldron down and started putting in his ingredients. He started with pills that had recipes where barely any of the ingredients were in the True rank so that he didn\'t have to worry about it much.
He put in his first ingredient and started stirring it. Since it was a common rank ingredient, he didn\'t have to worry much for now.
He did the same thing for the second ingredient, which was also a common rank ingredient, and soon the energies from those two ingredients were started to mix with each other, resulting in another energy.
The third ingredient was the one Alex needed to care about. It was the first True rank ingredient of the bunch.
Alex put it in and immediately sent out his True Qi to control it. Since he wasn\'t even in the True realm yet, the amount of True Qi he had could be considered to be barely any.
And that was enough to maybe make 2 pills with it all. So, Alex had to be extra careful not to overuse it.
He started moving the ingredient around and soon it released its energy. He continued moving it around until it released all of its energy, and only then did he finally get to go back to common Qi.
Once the energy was released, it very quickly overwhelmed the rest of the energy in the cauldron and dominated them to become the final resulting energy in the cauldron.
Alex then went on to put the rest of the ingredients. The next 3 ingredients were normal ones and only required his common Qi. So, he easily finished turning them all to powder and the energy released from them mixed together with the energy in the cauldron.
The 7th ingredient was also a True rank ingredient, so once more he had to use his True Qi to make a powder out of it. The 7th ingredient has particularly strong energy, so he had to fight it to not let it use up all of his True Qi while making sure he didn\'t lose control of them either.
He could feel his True Qi drain at an abnormally fast speed and by the time he was finished with this ingredient, almost 8% of his original 20% true Qi was gone.
The energy from the 7th ingredient was the one that gave the current energy in the cauldron the most change. The two energy collided with each other and threatened to destroy the cauldron.
To stop them from being so volatile, he had to use his True Qi once more to control them. With that over half of his True Qi was gone.
Alex sighed thinking just how much True Qi was required to make a single pill. However, once he remembered he wasn\'t even in the True Realm yet, he got happy again.
So, he focused back on making the pills.
Fortunately, there were only 4 more ingredients remaining and every single one of them was common ingredients.
So, Alex quickly turned them all into powder and the energy released from them mixed together with the other energy and quickly formed final energy that would go onto the pill.
Alex formed the pill using his normal Qi but then used his True Qi once more to use Elemental Guidance. Elemental Guidance using his normal Qi wouldn\'t be able to move the energy at all.
Suddenly, his pill-splitting Qi escaped from his body started splitting the pill into two. Once they were done, a vortex appeared from the pills and started devouring the energy.
Unfortunately, since they used common Qi, they couldn\'t devour the energy at all. So Alex had to keep using his Elemental guidance to keep making the pills.
Once he was certain that he couldn\'t force any more Qi into the pills, he sighed and stopped.
He barely had 5% of his True Qi remaining how, so he simply sighed and shook his head.
