After finishing his al, Alex returned to his room and spent so ti cultivating the Undying God's Physique while using the mask to grind down his ntal power as well.
At the sa ti, he made Pearl cultivate as well, so the entirety of his mind and body were constantly being refined to a greater degree.
After cultivating until the afternoon, Alex left and returned back to the garden where he started making places in the garden where he would grow the various plants.
Unfortunately, he couldn't grow any True ingredients, but growing sothing great wasn't his purpose here at all. His purpose was just to grow sothing, anything.
He could garden from halfway through when the plants were already growing. He now wanted so experience in growing plants right from when they were seeds.
So, Alex brought out the seeds he had prepared for this exact situation for a very long ti, and started planting them based on what he found was the best arrangent.
Once done, he went looking for water to water the plant, but there was none in the village. At least, not spare enough to use it on plants.
But they did tell Alex what to do. So, Alex took a large bucket and walked out into the snow.
After gathering a bit of snow, they told him to put it over the furnace in the kitchen, but Alex didn't need to do that.
By the ti he was inside the village, the snow had already lted and the water was already at normal temperature.
He poured the water onto the plants and called it a day.
He went to hang out with so of the guys and saw what they did. So of the guys were in charge of handling the beasts. They had to feed them so of what grew in the gardens, and for so the sect itself provided resources.
After looking around for a while, as the sun started to dip, Alex returned back to his room.
Once the village grew quiet, Alex left the house and went towards the forest he was told about.
In re minutes, he arrived outside the forest and used his spiritual sense to search through it.
He found quite a few beasts, but almost all of them were extraordinarily weak. He didn't know if it was due to them being continuously hunted or due to the low amount of Qi in the air.
Either way, this was the perfect situation to teach Whisker how to fight.
Alex found a beast very quickly and reached in front of it. He placed down and formation and imdiately the barrier covered up the beast.
The little Frost Hamster, with his frozen tail, looked around in terror.
Alex felt a little bad for the little hamster that was just trying to survive, so he made a ntal note to save him if the ti ca.
With the hamster being in 1st Skin-Tempering realm, and weaker than Whisker, he would really have to.
"Alright Whisker, ti to show your power," he said. "Let's see how well you can fight."
Alex grabbed him and basically threw him into the barrier where he landed on the soft snow.
The Frost Hamster, even with its small intelligence knew that it was up against a rather strong enemy and had tried to run away. But seeing that it couldn't go past the barrier, the hamster was getting more and more scared. Soon, it was like a beast trapped in a corner. All it could do was fight back.
"Whisker, go attack," Alex said.
Whisker dashed as fast as he could… back towards Alex.
"Wait, no. Attack that hamster," Alex said, but Whisker kept sending back ssages that said that he was scared.
"What do you an you are scared? You are stronger than that hamster. Go fight," Alex said, but Whisker just wouldn't listen at all.
Feelings of dread and terror returned back to Alex like waves through Whisker's bond with him. The little fellow really was scared of fighting.
Alex frowned. As a beast that could cultivate, he expected Whisker to be able to fight, but he was still the coward that he was since long ago.
Despite having the bloodline of the Undying God, he still had the attitude of a Seeking Mouse that was afraid of everything.
Alex was capable of forcing Whisker to fight; their bond allowed that much to him. However, he just didn't think that it was a good thing to do, so he could only sigh.
Alex himself entered the barrier and crouched down next to Whisker. "It will be alright. I'm right here, go and fight," he said.
Whisker looked at Alex again as if asking, 'really?'.
"Yes, I won't let that beast hurt you," Alex replied back. "Now go attack him."
Whisker looked determined as he turned towards the hamster and ran in the snow. The swift movent was rather amusing to Alex's senses.
The hamster used what little Qi it had to shoot icicles at Whisker, but Whisker was slightly faster and managed to dodge in ti. Alex had been ready to save him, but it seed he didn't need to.
Whisker ran past the icicle and arrived directly in front of the hamster. Then, he slamd into the beast.
The two rodents flew into the barrier and then fell to the ground. Then, Whisker ran at the hamster again and slamd into it.
"What is he…" it took a mont for Alex to realize that Whisker had no thod of fighting.
Alex couldn't help but slap his own forehead in frustration. He had expected the beast to be able to fight now that he was cultivating, but he had forgotten that most of the fighting power in a beast ca from natural instinct that ca from having lived in the wild, or from a bloodline that carried inherited mories of their ancestor.
He sighed. "I will have to teach you so techniques for you to learn. I thought this was an easy way to start your journey, but we have to dive even deeper to more basic territory," Alex sighed.
"Let us return ho," he said and Whisker returned back to his shoulder. He was breathing a bit heavily, but aside from that, there was nothing.
As for the little hamster, it was just happy that the mouse had moved away.
Alex took away the barrier and the hamster ran away. Then, he returned back to the village.
Inside his house, Alex placed a formation in front of him and told Whisker to pour his Qi into the formation.
Whisker wasn't sure what that ant, so Alex had to show him. It took nearly 15 minutes before Whisker understood how he could release his Qi.
Then, the formation flared up and different types of lights appeared on the fog that rose from it.
Blue, black, and brown motes of lights floated into the air with so red hidden in them, letting Alex know what the little beast's spiritual roots were.
Alex was actually quite relieved that he even had any, to begin with. Now the little beast could cultivate through ridian Tempering realm and past that.
"So, Yin is your greatest strength, huh?" he said as he looked at the information. "Given your spiritual roots, I have so ideas about what you can learn."
