Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

Chapter 755 Blood Experiments

　　"What is it? Is something wrong?" Helen hurriedly opened the door in worry. However, when she opened the door, she was met with a really excited Alex.

　　"Look!" Alex lifted his left hand with a child-like glee in his face.

　　Helen looked at his left arm for a few seconds before she realized what she was looking at.

　　"You did it?" she asked.

　　"I did it," Alex said excitedly.

　　"Oh, my sweet child. Congratulations," Helen said as she hugged her son. "Pearl, come look what your big brother did."

　　"Oh, what did brother do?" Pearl came out of the room.

　　"Look Pearl, my arm's back," Alex showed it to him.

　　"Your arm?" Pearl was surprised for a second. "Brother you finally got it back."

　　"Yes," Alex said.

　　The three of them celebrated Alex getting his arm back and even Qin Shan was joined in on the fun after he was notified of some loud screams from his mountain.

　　Throughout the entire time, he was there, Qin Shan had his mouth wide open as he couldn't believe what Alex had achieved.

　　"You were a big help in this happening, senior Qin," Alex said. "Had it not been for your little help, I might have been stuck around with a failed pill."

　　"I helped?" Qin Shan asked.

　　"Yes," Alex said.The link to the origin of this information rests in Fire(.)net

　　"So you made a pill that can restore lost limbs?" Qin Shan asked.

　　"Yes," Alex said. "Or at least I would like to think I did. There are some concerns on whether it can heal just my injuries or everyone's."

　　"Why would you be concerned about that?" Qin Shan.

　　"The final ingredient requires me to keep it in blood for a little while so it can absorb the blood aura. Since the pill I made had my blood aura, I'm still not sure if it can work on others or not," Alex said.

　　"You should test it soon," Qin Shan said.

　　"I was already planning to," Alex said. "I have quite a few on the ingredients dipped in my blood there. I had to draw out so much blood for this that I feel kind of woozy right now."

　　"You deserve to rest more than you deserve this celebration, son. Go take a break," Helen said.

　　"Okay, mother," Alex said and returned back to his room. 

　　Alex then cultivated for 2 whole days before he was back to being in the perfect condition. 

　　Once he was, he took out the ingredients from the blood and started making pills with it.

　　As he continued making the pills, Alex started making fewer and fewer mistakes. By the time it was his 4th pill, he was reaching 85% consistently.

　　One of these times, he even reached 90%. 

　　In total, Alex ended up making about 12 different pills and he needed to test them. He couldn't just have any person test it for him just in case it was bad. 

　　So, Alex instead went to the guild to find some Pill Swines to test it on. 

　　Alex found one that had its limb cut off due to a pill's reaction and became the perfect testing swine for him.

　　He fed it the pill and watched. The swine started getting irritated immediately and started rubbing its cut-off end on the ground from the intense itching sensation it was feeling.

　　Alex understood what was happening, so he quietly watched it get better. Within half a minute, the pig's little leg was starting to wriggle out, and within the next minute, it had a new leg.

　　"Yes!" Alex thought. "It works on others too."

　　There were a few more testing to be done, but Alex was happy that he now had a recipe in hand that could fix a lot of problems that would otherwise remain unsolved until one reached the Saint realm.

　　"Alright, let's get back to more testing," Alex thought. 

　　There was one thing that he desperately needed to try. That was to use others' blood instead of his own.

　　Alex went around the Flowing Brush sect, requesting blood from everyone. Soon, he had a cauldron full of blood.

　　Alex wasn't worried about blood types causing problems in a pool of blood as cultivators never had that problem. At least not in the same way mortals did.

　　Alex went out of his way to make sure he didn't get blood from the individuals that had a superior Spiritual root. He couldn't risk the blood having an element. 

　　Fortunately, there were many people in the Talisman-making profession that were there for exactly the reason of not having talents for the fighting profession.

　　Once his cauldron was filled from the blood of thousands of volunteers, Alex got a bunch of Fragrant Ginger Vines and dumped them in the blood, and let it rest overnight.

　　The next morning, Alex went to check on the vines, but there was no blood aura. So, Alex decided to let it be for a little longer.

　　The next day, there was still no blood aura. Alex wondered if he put in too many vines at once and took out about 3 quarters of it.

　　At the same time, wondering if there was some sort of mistake, he used his own blood as well to separately test if the speed was the same.

　　The next morning, Alex's blood created a vine with a thick blood aura, while the cauldron full of blood was barely starting to make a change.

　　Alex brought out more vines until there were about 5 remaining in the cauldron full of blood. Then, he decided to wait and see exactly how long it would take to reach the point of concentration as his blood did in just a single day.

　　While waiting for that to happen, Alex focused on other things and broke through to True King 6th realm while Pearl was still at True King 7th realm.

　　At the same time, he also noticed that his Yang energy was starting to come back, and now he couldn't make any more of those vines as his blood would contaminate them with his Yang.

　　He needed attribute-less blood after all.

　　It took the cauldron full of ingredients nearly 25 days to turn the 5 ingredients into having a thick blood aura.

　　Alex then proceeded to make 5 different pills using them and tested them too.

　　Afterward, Alex tested one of those pills and it worked as well as the first one did.

　　"So, the pill doesn't exclusively need my blood," Alex thought. "But it needs a lot of blood from ordinary folks. I can't use beast blood as they are all full of elemental energy."

　　"I can't use the blood of most talented folks as their blood is likely contaminated too. I would likely get a far faster result if I had Saint realm cultivator's blood but how hard is it to find one that doesn't have a superior Spiritual root."

　　"Even if it did work, would they be willing to draw so much blood just to cure a True realm cultivator?"

　　Alex started thinking about more and more things as his thought went past just the normal ways to acquire blood.

　　'What if I reveal this recipe and suddenly people start mass murdering mortals to gain their neutral blood? Can I handle their death on my hand?' Alex thought.

　　As Alex kept thinking, he soon realized that there was no way he could ever reveal the existence of this pill to anyone else. At least, not the recipe.

　　"Well, how the hell do I go about consistently making these pills now?" he thought. As far as he could tell, he would need the blood from someone or something with both a really strong cultivation base or bloodline, and with blood that have no attribute to them.

　　As far as he was concerned, there was not a single person in the empire that was just that. Not even himself.

　　"I guess this one is just going to have to be a secret then," Alex thought as he looked at the 15 different pill vials, all of which contained Immortal Grade True Body Regenerating pill.

　　He knew there were far more than that just in the Crimson Empire that needed such pills.

　　Alex then looked at his own body. He would be happy to give away some more blood if it meant saving someone from being without legs and arms or even other organs. 

　　However, he couldn't, now that his blood was full of Yang again.

　　Alex sighed as he realized what he needed to do now. 

　　"Time to go to the Icy Hell."
