Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 1427  Storage Pouch

Alex then filled the entire thing with water and placed it in a low-heat furnace. It would take some time for the hide to soak in the properties of the ingredients that he used and until he was done with them, he couldn\'t turn it into proper leather.

He focused on making pills in the meantime, letting the thunderous roar fill the skies and the Colony once again. He made about four different pills before he was sent the list of the pills that the Lizard wanted, along with the ingredients to get started with.

The hide needed to cure in the low heat for the entire night, so Alex let it be. Once it was done, he took out the hide that was now soft by absorbing all the liquid and brought out a hammer and anvil.

He placed the soaked hide on the anvil and used a sword to scrape away the scales on the hide. Once he did so, he hammered away, pushing out the liquid from the leather as much as he could before he was to start the next process.

Alongside that, he also had to make it all flat and uniform. There was only so much thickness that he could work with for the next stage after all.

Once he was done, he put the hammer and anvil aside, before bringing out the cauldron again. Except he was going to use it not in the way a cauldron was intended to be used.

He turned the cauldron cover, starting a fire on the inside rather than the outside. It was sure to ruin a cauldron for anything alchemy related, but since this was a spare cauldron, Alex had no worries.

Once the cauldron was sufficiently heated up, Alex lay the now thin hide on it and waited for the heat to slowly do its work. The next time he took it off, it would become proper leather.

Alex left it alone, occasionally checking on it, but other than that doing nothing at all. He went back to making pills to fulfill the lizard\'s request.

An entire day later, Alex finally went back to check on the leather. When he saw that it was ready, he prepared a cold water bath and dunked the leather in to quickly stop the heat and set it.

When he took it out of the water, amidst the steaming water was the leather he had just prepared. He left the leather rest for a bit and finally started working on it.

He carved out as large of a circle as he could from the leather and laid it flat in front of him

Then, he started working on it.

First, he took the circular leather and started pouring Qi lines into it. He heated up his own Qi and sent it around the leather to carve through it without damaging any other part of the leather.

With the heat in control, he made multiple Qi lines through the entire leather. He continued until there was no possible way for him to add any more.

Once he was done with making Qi lines, he let the round leather rest and cool down while the Qi lines were set up. He let it be and went to make the rest of the pills.

After an hour or so, it had completely cooled down. Alex took it and wrapped it around with the string, making it look like a pouch. The entire process was similar to making storage pouches which Alex was used to.

The pouch is ready, and just like storage pouches, this one would require space too. He could use his Dao of space to add space into the pouch, just like he had with storage pouches, but that wouldn\'t work this time around.

This pouch needed a bit more than just space, unfortunately.

There was a formation plate that could be used, which Alex didn\'t have. However, making it took barely any time at all for him.

He was going for Saint formations, so he made a Saint ranked Formation plate that could easily garner over 70% easily.

Once done, he placed the pouch over the formation plate and used his Yang Qi on it. Metal formations themselves required no consideration for symmetry or ratio of the amount of Qi, but only for a spirit stone to power it.

Alex instead was using his Yang Qi, which easily activated the formation.

The moment the formation activated, he felt a disturbance in space itself. Not only that, there was disturbance in the air around him as well.

Then, a moment later, both space and air was sucked into the pouch not just from the top, but from the sides as well. The entire pouch was permeable, so the space and air were sucked in front the side as well.

Alex checked the Qi lines, seeing how many of it was in use the entire time. The space was attatched ot these Qi lines so only the amount that it could hold could be taken in.

After waiting for a few minutes, Alex finally stopped the formation. The space and air were both inside the pouch, exactly how he wanted it to be.

He stored away everything and just looked at the pouch. It was going to be hard to judge it on its own. He needed something to go in.

He was about to start experimentation when he sensed someone outside. He quickly went out and found the Lizard standing there.

"Hmm? Why are you here, senior?" Alex asked.

"What were you doing?" the Lizard asked.

"Me? Nothing really," Alex said.

The Lizard narrowed its eyes. "You\'re lying, why?" he asked. "I sensed the Space aura that you used. You were doing something."

Alex looked at he beast with a surprised look. "You… sensed space aura?" he asked. "How?"

"I have the Azure Dragon\'s blood in me. Sensing space is natural for me," he said.

"Oh, I see," Alex said. "Can you do anything else with this ability?"

The Lizard frowned a bit. "No," he said in an annoyed voice. "Now tell me what you were doing!"

"I was making this," Alex said, showing off the pouch.

The lizard looked at it for a moment and looked back at Alex. "You can make these too?" he asked.

"I have some practice," Alex said. "Not a whole lot though."

"Does it work?" the Lizard asked.

"No idea," Alex said. "I haven\'t had the time to check."

"Let\'s see if it works then," the Lizard said and called over someone.

A beast arrived, but not alone. He had brought over two small golden silkeworms.

"Heavenly Silkworms!" Alex said, finally having seen it for the first time so close.

The Lizard took it and handed both of them over to Alex. "Try it."

Alex looked at the silkworms in his hands and after a bit of preparation, he sent them away.

The Silkworms disappeared, going into the pouch. Alex checked their status and saw that they were fine.

Finally, he smiled, happy that he had managed to successfully create a Beast pouch from start to finish.
