Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

There was nothing she could do even if she went back there. Right now, she needed to regain back her cultivation, and she could do that while staying with Alex and the others.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I will stay with you."

"Well, your choice; things will become more dangerous soon, though."

"Why? What are you planning?" Ying Xue asked with worry. He had already triggered a war, and now he said things were going to be more dangerous.

"I am not doing anything; it's just that things happening in the background will start escalating. Also, I will go to the rift after I finish things here."

"The rift? You are going to the frontline? What for?"

"I want to enter it." Alex then turned his gaze to her, "Do you really have no information on what is beyond that rift?"

"No, well, the Grand Elder and Patriarch may know, but not me."

"I see, but aren't you holding a high position in your family? So it's a huge secret, despite you risking your life there."

Ying Xue's gaze turned complicated; it would have been a lie if there had been no one complaining because of this situation, but there was nothing they could do. This concern also quickly faded out with the brutal circumstances they faced.

Their comrades were dying and needed to recultivate. They even used it as status now, based on how many times they recultivated. Based on rumors spread, the highest was ten, and it was their current Grand Elder.

Ying Xue didn't know how to answer; she still felt uncomfortable telling Alex any details about the frontline.

"If you don't want to answer, it's fine, not like it really matters."

It didn't take long for them to reach the courtyard. Ying Xue waited for him in a nearby area and started cultivating.

Alex directly entered the room, and he could feel Clara in the basement. The moment he passed through the door, an array activated, and he found himself in the basement.

The place was huge, filled with many apparatuses. Even though there were some differences, Alex could recognize most of them.

A microscope and glass beakers filled with chemicals.

'So some immortals already have this method, but no one has created a way to mass-produce pills?' Alex wondered, but he then realized the answer was simple.

Those in the immortal realm wouldn't care about pills for lower-realm cultivators. As for pills that had some effect on them, they would require many rare materials.

There was no use creating a method of mass production if the materials couldn't keep up with it.

Clara was now busy distilling a drop of liquid. Her way of doing alchemy reminded him more of chemistry rather than those he had read about in novels.

Without asking, Alex was sure it was because of his father's influence. This method of doing alchemy was probably why Clara put her faith in his father.

He walked to her side but didn't make any noise to avoid disturbing her. However, Clara already knew he had come.

She was the one who moved the array. Her fingers moved carefully, taking a concentrated extract of medicinal liquid.

Based on the tools used, Alex speculated Clara had just tried to create a pill but in liquid form to raise its effectiveness.

"What do you think? Will this work?" she asked while moving it into a small jade bottle.

"That depends. What do you want to achieve? And what is it used for?"

"This is the Celestial Bone Refining Pill, but in liquid form. I have tested it; the effectiveness has almost doubled. First, now it's effective for cultivators up to the Profound Enlightenment realm.

The process also becomes faster with fewer side effects, but it's also problematic as it took a long time to create one. This also raises the minimum realm required to the Golden Core realm."

"It seems you have more problems than that, though," Alex said while observing the liquid. Even now, he could see something coming out from the liquid, giving off an intense herbal smell.

"Yes, as you can see, the liquid evaporates the moment it touches air; it won't last long."

"Probably around an hour at most. Even now, the medicinal efficacy is reducing. So what do you want to achieve with this?"

"Honestly, I am just experimenting, so I, too, wonder what I can use it for."

Alex didn't find it weird, as he also often did that, experimenting only to gain some data.

"Have you ever found out what part of the jade bottle you use creates the effect of holding the medicinal efficiency?"

"This is a thousand-year-old cold jade. When it's completely enclosed, it will create an almost absolute zero temperature inside without needing any qi."

"So cold is the key… have you tried to dilute the medicine with liquid?

I am thinking you can separate it into capsules and then keep it in the jade bottle. That way, it can be used even by those in the lower realms to help with their cultivation."

"Diluting it with water can reduce its effect, unfortunately. One of the materials used has a weird reaction with water.

This is also why I turned it into liquid after creating the pill."

Clara then finished putting everything in the jade bottle; she closed it and put it away.

"Well, that is that. Let's go to the main topic now. Can you tell me what happened?"

Alex then began telling her what was happening. He cut down the unnecessary parts, focusing only on the things that really mattered, like the primordial existence, his father's plan, and where he was now.

"So everything is just as he expected so far. Then why would he make two of us capture the Patriarch and the rest?

He already knew he would leave this sect soon."

"To avoid conflict. And to force both of you to come out of seclusion."

"Why? Because things will escalate soon?

Even then, we don't need to capture them; we would still do something if the clan were in danger."
