Since Pearl was likely going to cultivate for a few more weeks at least, Alex decided to do the same as well. He went through his Soul Space to bring out some of the pills he would need and noticed a significant lack of them.
Pearl had taken the good pills, and while he did technically have many pills, none of them had nine pill veins. Instead of making new ones, he decided to fix the ones he already had.
That would require him to remake the pill in order to invoke the Pill Clouds once again.
'I should fix every single pill I have. Not just the cultivation pills,' he thought, sighing lightly as that was more work to be done. But there was plenty of time before Pearl's trial, so there would be no loss.
Alex took a cultivation pill and began cultivating once again. As he cultivated, he could feel something strange about it all, as if he was suddenly having an easier time with it all.
