Chapter 1036 Condensed Jade

Having taken care of Regenerateur Enterprises, Four Seas Corporation continued operating as usual. They made great progress with the microchip in the tech dome, and everything went back to normal. As Alex had been staying home every day and driving Stanley to school, he noticed that Stanley was becoming less and less talkative with each passing day. He tried initiating conversations, but Stanley looked depressed and would only respond with nods and one-word replies.

Eventually, Alex had no choice but to take him to Flynn's.

He believed that Stanley was having issues accepting the fact that he had a new mother figure and a sister.

As for Kate, Alex didn't know what else to do with her. She had given birth to his child, so he couldn't bring himself to kick her out.

That left him with no choice but to go with the flow and roll with the punches as they came.

Alex had reached the edge of the third-phase Master Realm after his battle with Glenn. That, combined with the Mortal Force boost that the nephrite badge provided, helped Alex get even closer to the next Realm.

He was so powerful that he could easily defeat Glenn in his current state without consuming Blood Demon Pills. That was the difference between cultivating normally and cultivating using Empyrean Scripture. Alex had also found some records on nephrite badges in Empyrean Scripture, but he couldn't confirm if it was the same one as his.

There was some information on something known as condensed jade which could purify Mortal Force, accelerate a martial artist's cultivation speed, and grant immunity to nerve-type attacks by stabilizing one's mental state.

The first two matched the condensed jade's attributes, but Alex wasn't sure about the third one.

If that information were true, then the nephrite badge would be an incredibly valuable item to own.

Alex had yet to encounter martial artists who cultivated nerve-type attacks, but there were records of such individuals in text, so he could not deny their existence either.

Mental attacks could easily destroy a person's mental state, so even Grandmaster Realm martial artists could end up losing their minds if they were caught off guard by such attacks.

Therefore, having a condensed jade would at least offer Alex some form of protection.

He had researched the two pills before. Although they were not as frightening as Blood Demon Pill, they were still fairly powerful in their own right.

The Foundation Establishment Pill would allow its user to gain a huge boost in power. For example, if a half Grandmaster like Alex were to consume the pill, he could potentially reach the peak of half Grandmaster Realm and be a step away from Grandmaster Realm.

Of course, the synthesis of such a powerful pill would require lots of rare herbs, some of which Alex had never even heard of. As such, it would be nearly impossible for him to synthesize a Foundation Establishment Pill.

As for Revival Pill, its function was as its name suggested. If a person who was on the brink of death took a Revival Pill, it would help them regenerate and heal from their injuries, bringing them back to peak condition within minutes. In other words, having a Revival Pill was equal to having an extra life.

Just like with the Foundation Establishment Pill, the herbs required to synthesize a Revival Pill were also incredibly rare, and the skill required was ridiculously high as well.

Therefore, it would still be near impossible to synthesize both of those pills even if one had the formula. Fortunately for Alex, the stuff that he had stolen from Glenn's secret chamber happened to contain most of the ingredients required for the synthesis of Foundation Establishment Pill.

Glenn had probably wanted to synthesize a Foundation Establishment Pill as well. Given the fact that he had yet to do so, Alex figured he probably struggled to obtain the rare herbs as well.

On top of those ingredients, the synthesis of Foundation Establishment Pill also required Blood Ganoderma, thousand-year-old snow ginseng, snapdragon, and hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.

Alex's lips curled into a smile when he saw the snapdragon and snow ginseng. Those two were incredibly rare, but he happened to have them both.

I still have some leftover snow ginseng from the synthesis of Pill of Vitality, so I can use that to synthesize a Foundation Establishment Pill! Man, I sure am glad I didn't synthesize two Pills of Vitality in one go! I don't even know where I'd find more snow ginseng! Right now, all I need are Blood Ganoderma and a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.

With that in mind, Alex began looking forward to the day he synthesized the Foundation Establishment Pill.
