Mixture

Alex ate a few pills once he reached his room and sat by the bed, readying to cultivate. Now that he was finally free and not in a constant state of danger, he could finally take his time with his cultivation to deal with the things he had put off.

Firstly, he had to check on himself to see what exactly was wrong with him after the corruption he had gone through. 

Checking through himself, Alex realized that he had lost a lot of body mass and had a mostly weaker Blood Essence. Thankfully, everything else that had gone wrong had either been healed by his physique or by the many pills he had eaten along the way.

'Body mass I can deal with immediately, but the Blood Essence will take some time to heal on its own,' Alex thought. He couldn't help but wonder if it was even a good idea to try to improve his blood aura just yet.
