"Master, is everything okay?" Alex asked after seeing Ma Rong not speak for a while as she stared at the pill in her hand.
"Yeah, yeah. Everything is fine," She said, but her eyes painted a different picture. She kept staring at the pill in her hand and said nothing else.
"31%, that's good right?" Alex asked.
"Yes, it's very good," Ma Rong said. "You don't need any more learning at all after this. You just need to keep practicing making the different pills, and you will get a lot better soon."
Alex nodded, but he didn't believe her. There were many different ways to improve even right now. He could learn how to improve the recipes to make a higher harmony pill. He could learn what the mysterious Structure and Compositions truly were. He could learn, even before trying, what ingredients could mix up to be used in any pill.
He knew he needed a lot more training, perhaps from someone, perhaps just himself, but he knew he needed them.
He didn't tell his master this, however. He didn't want her to think she wasn't teaching him enough.
'Once I find out more about these things, I will let her know about them,' Alex thought.
"You made a few mistakes, right?" Ma Rong asked.
"Huh? Ah, yes. I felt there were a few things I missed here and there because it was my first time," Alex said.
"Hmm, that means you should really be making some better pill. Maybe closer to 35% or more," Ma Rong thought out loud. "Here, take these 2 remaining sets and keep practicing. I will go deal with the sect matters I have neglected for a while."
Alex nodded. He was about to leave when he remembered something. "Ah right, master. I don't have any cultivation method. Do you know what I should do?" he asked.
"You don't have any?" Ma Rong asked, and remembered that he had just entered the True realms.
She fell into thought for a bit, not letting any of her inner voice out. After a while, she finally spoke.
"There are some True realm cultivation methods in the library, but I doubt you would want them," she said. "They are all either Mortal or Earth grade methods and given how fast you cultivate, you would want something better, I'm sure."
Mortal and Earth grade, those truly were terrible in his eyes. If possible he wanted his methods to be at least Heaven grade.
"I have a heaven grade technique I use that my master gifted me when I graduated. Maybe I can gift it to you since you have graduated too," Ma Rong said.
She brought out an old book from her storage bag and handed it to Alex. "Take care of this book, okay? Grandmaster paid a lot for this book," she said.
Alex took the book and looked at it. The book was old, decrepit, and the outer cover was torn at places. He flipped the book and fortunately the inside of the book was fine.
"Winter Moon Cultivation method?" Alex read the title. "I will check it out later. Thank you, master."
Alex left her place. He went back to his house and sat down for half an hour to make the Spirt Weed Pills once again.
He made 3 different pills this time. 2 were split up, 1 was full. The harmony came out to be 22% and 23% for the 2 pills, which told Alex that he had a lot more potential in the pill which he could refine once he had better cultivation.
The 2nd pill was 36%, which also let him know that he really needed a higher density Qi to work with the True pills.
"Fortunately, I have a cultivation method now," Alex thought and brought out the new book.
