Realization

Alex held the last piece of Blood Spirit Ginseng in his hands and then looked at the heated-up cauldron in front of him.

"What am I doing?" he thought, almost disappointed at himself. "I can't refine a saint rank ingredient by myself."

"I need help," Alex thought. 

He was getting so desperate that he nearly risked not only ruining the ingredient but also hurting himself.

He remembered what happened when he was in the Mind Tempering realm and tried to refine a True rank ingredient. He had nearly caused the energy to go violent and volatile.

Saint rank ingredient would be way worse than that.

So, Alex decided to ask Qin Shan for help in this matter. 

"You want me to refine an ingredient?" Qin Shan was surprised. "I'm sorry young man, but I've never performed Alchemy. I will… I don't how I could ever do it without messing it up."
