The first thing Alex's body did when he used the Divine Elental Accord was send a neutral Qi into the pill and bring back a type of Qi that was the exact sa elental structure as the energy inside of that pill.
When his body took in that energy, Alex felt his head grow heavy as his mind, unconsciously, learned the makeup of the entire energy.
Once Alex's mind understood just what sort of mixture the energy of the pill was in, his body responded.
Alex felt his body buzz with power as he used the Divine Elental Accord on the pill.
All 7 of his elental Spiritual roots worked in tandem as Qi was driven out of his body at an extre speed to go into the pill and fill up the parts of the pill that were perfect in terms of structure but missing the energy to be stored in it.
The Qi flew out of him in different order, through different ridians, but when they arrived at his hand, they mixed to form the exact sa energy as the one inside of the pill at the mont.
Alex gritted his teeth, struggling through the burden he felt all the ridians in his body flare up to pass so much of the Qi into the pill.
A pill was not just a combination of the various elents in different orders. It contained within those elents the various other elents as well.
Two sources of Fire energy in two different pill ingredients were never the sa. Even when they were turned into pills, and one mixed without another so that only one of them was visible in the end, the other energy was still in there. It was just hiding.
Then, there was the fact that even those fire elents had all the other types of elents, just in minute amount.
When using the Supre Elental Accord to improve an ingredient and empower it to the fullest, Alex had to still use all the other elents, just in a tiny amount.
Using it multiple tis in a row still left him feeling drained.
Now, he was doing the sa thing, but all at once. All the energy inside the pill, not just the dozen of different energies but the specks of energies that were inside of them as well had to be added to fill the pill.
Bringing out that much Qi with that much variation in such a short period of ti was not sothing Alex could handle properly.
He had trained the technique many tis before, but each ti he had stopped after a little while as he felt the burden of the technique very quickly. It was not sothing he could do this early in his Immortal cultivation realm.
But, he was forced to do so now. If he did not, Elder Lan would most certainly die.
Alex knelt on the ground, his fist rising above his head as all the Qi poured through his right hand into the pill. It was a blessing that his body was as strong as it was. A regular immortal body would have been damaged a lot more.
The energy he brought out flowed into the pill, slowly. Bit by bit, its energy, finds its way to the location where it could stay. Since four-fifths of the location was already filled with energy, the rest had to find their way.
As more and more of the pill was filled, the rest of the energy had a harder ti finding the empty location where it could fit. There was a lot of wastage, with excess Qi flowing out of his palm, not finding a place to settle.
Alex looked up at his hand, his face a look of grim resolution. He slowly opened his hands, even though the action hurt his palm entirely. The energy flowing through his body was still raging in it.
Then, he brought his other palm over it and cupped the two palms to confine the pill entirely. Then, he used a different technique on the pill, through this new hand.
Vortex of Perfection.
The singular form of the pill-splitting Qi worked at once, grabbing the energy surging out of his right palm and pouring it into the pill.
Within monts, the energy that had a difficult ti finding its way into the pill no longer had any difficulty at all. The energy flowed in as easily as water finding its way downhill.
The energy sank into the pill through the vortex and settled inside the pill. With just that, the pill had now reached 100% harmony.
Alex finally stopped the Divine Elental Accord and felt the burden of all those many ridians full of Qi slowly move away from his body, withdrawn back to his Dantian.
Alex slumped onto the ground, breathing deeply as relief filled him once the pain was gone. He felt tired, wanting to rest and cultivate.
But, now was not the ti.
The night sky that was full of glowing stars and two bright moons just monts ago was now completely filled with storm clouds with crackling purple lightning in the sky.
Alex slowly stood back up, holding the 100% pill in his hands. He hadn't expected to be doing this just 4 years after coming to the Immortal world, but here it was.
The Pill Cloud.
Alex quickly rembered the strength of the lightning bolt and how strong one needed to be to protect the pill.
He hadn't yet made the Ritual Oath to have the storm cloud not show up in the sky, so he could still fight the regular lightning strikes and not have to deal with the really strong ones.
Even so, the regular ones were also quite strong.
The first lightning bolt itself was supposed to only be possible to be protected by soone in the Immortal Ascendant 4th realm.
Alex looked to the sky and waited for the first bolt of lightning to co down.
A flash of purple and a bolt of white-hot lightning fell from the sky, striking right for the pill that was inside Alex's hands.
This was the first ti Alex fought the pill lightning without using a cauldron. It felt weird, but there was a first ti to everything.
He raised his fist with the pill, empowered by his Qi, and held it straight out.
The lightning strike struck Alex, leaving a devastating blow on the ground beneath him. The thunderous noise could be heard from multiple mountains away and the lightning would most likely be seen from much further away.
Even in an Immortal world, pill lightnings were strong.
Alex ca out of the attack unscathed. He felt the aura of the pill lightning flow around him and then surge toward his fist where it entered the pill.
Alex opened his palm and saw a single blue line forming on the otherwise grayish-blue pill. The line slowly broke into multiple forks, forming what Alex easily recognized as Pill veins.
Alex smiled and closed his fist as he looked up for the second pill lightning that was on its way.
The next one would have the strength of an Immortal Ascendant 8th realm cultivator.
Alex had no doubt he could stop it as well.
