Experiments

Alex and his mother returned back from the capital a week later in disguises so no one would recognize them. 

Even after Alex was back in the Flowing Brush sect, not many realized he was there. As such, Alex got the chance to miss the many people that came after him because of his newfound popularity.

While this also meant Alex didn't get a chance to find free gifts from people, his mind was way too concerned about something else to care about.

After returning back, Alex immediately went to his work in finding the final remaining ingredient of the pill that would help restore his arm.

He used the 15 thousand True Spirit stones he had acquired from the competition to buy many different true rank ingredients, all of which were Wood Element ingredients.

Once Alex got that, he started going into a secluded Alchemy session where he would refine every single ingredient and compare it to the impression he had received from the Blood Spirit Ginseng.
