On a beautiful morning of summer, brilliant sunlight shone through my window. In a room, I alone was sleeping on a bed. Continuously waking up to the dazzling light, but still trying to sleep like a stubborn child. At the end, being helpless, I woke up.
Still dazed, I gnced at the clock. It said 11.38 AM. I jumped up from my bed. I had missed school that day. My school was supposed to start at 9.00 AM. After calming down, I say to myself, “Well, I missed school. Whatever. There is nothing of value in crying over spilled milk.”
I freshen up, make some breakfast, and get on the process of starting my day. Suddenly, I look at my desk and there lies my old tablet. Looks new and has a mysterious allure to it. I then remembered the whole event of yesterday that I had forgotten in the moment of drowsiness.
I hurry to my balcony, there lies the formation that I set up st night. The light was off. Meaning the process was complete. In that moment, I was surprised that the improved formation could significantly reduce the time needed for recharge. Last time, the formation took nearly half a day. Now it was done overnight.
The moment of surprise subsided, and intrigue arose about what's new there is on the tablet. In that moment of intrigue, I remembered the pill creation formation. I opened that video and learn to make that formation.
The pill creation formation, also known as pill refinement formation, is very complex, with over a thousand shapes. At the start, it looks like an easy and geometric-looking one, but that changes as you add more shapes. At the end, it looks like a magic runic formation you will find in a fantasy movie.
The formation was hexagonal, but the outer section is filled with small rectangles. Each rectangle was the shape of a talisman, one-third of an A4 paper. The middle of the formation looked mystic, there were many rune-like symbols like ancient alphabets.
It was hard to believe it all came from geometric shapes; the final result looked anything but. It looked like a cross between a circuit board and a ritual circle, geometric at the edge and cryptic at the core.
The formation ended up rger than I expected, about the size of a full art board. I had to improvise and glued 5 A4 sheets in length and 4 in width. Then I carefully removed the ENA batteries from the accumution formation, making sure not to tear the paper; redrawing it is a nightmare.
I pced all 28 talismans on every rectangle. Then I saw the magic happen. The writing lights up, but this time in an orange-like glow. That was constantly emitting heat. I saw pale blue waves constantly rising from the ENA batteries and rushing to the middle, where it looked like it was converging and concentrating. And that process continued. According to the video, it should take about an hour or two.
Annoyed by the long wait, I turn to the device to see something new. At that moment, I discovered something. A question mark icon in the top right corner of the talismans folder that I previously missed. Being curious, I clicked it…
“This button was added to resolve some common misunderstandings:
It is not recommended to refine pills with formation. This takes a lot more energy and time. For example, the physical refinement pill is very basic. It takes about the energy of at most 15 ENA batteries and needs about only 10-15 minutes for the most inexperienced refiners.Pill refinement needs medical herbs. The physical refinement pill only has the effect of supplying energy to the body. So, this is one of the exceptions.For pill refinement, you use a furnace where you dissolve multiple herbs and constantly move them inside to create a pill.”All this information cleared up a lot of questions that I had. But it was still not enough to relieve my boredom.
I clicked the back button and looked at the next option. It said cultivation techniques. From what I have seen in novels so far, that is the most important and valuable thing. So, I opened it. Inside, there was a text file named “7-Day Body Refinement”.
Author’s Note:Eiren’s finally stepping into real cultivation — slowly but surely. Let me know if the formation parts felt clear or if anything stood out! Your thoughts help a lot as I keep shaping this world.
