Finishing the Pill

Alex opened his eyes and they shined brightly with enlightenment. 

He slowly moved his hands forward and the fire responded to his will. With a single thought, Qi moved out of him of its own volition, and the Qi in the air moved to the fire too.

Not even a moment late, the fire grew hotter by nearly 200 degrees. This was incredible.

Usually, no matter how fast, there was a gradual increase in temperature. With Alex, it was quite a bit fast thanks to the Flame Mastery technique and also very accurate.

However, now it was instant. The amount of time it took for the temperature to change was the same amount of time it took for the Qi in his body to leave.

For a person who had gone through Mortal Cleansing and had improved his meridians through constant training for over 2 years, releasing his Qi was everything but an instant.
