Intent

Alex was excited when he decided to see how the Pill Splitting Qi worked. So, he made more pills, using it each time to split the pill into 2 and see the result.

2 weeks later, his excitement turned to disappointment. He couldn't be more disappointed at the fact that he couldn't extrapolate any information from the technique at all.

He had focused on the skill from the movement of Qi, to the formation of pills, and yet, he understood nothing.

In fact, halfway through the process, he could already see the problem with himself.

He didn't know how techniques worked at all. How did they function? How did moving your Qi in certain ways through your body do something when it came outside?

Those skill books he read all talked about the path through the meridians the Qi should move in, the requirements for that technique, and what the technique did.
