The next 2 lightning bolts struck his cauldron again, hitting the layer of protection around the pill before dissipating.
Alex protected his pills from another two lightning strikes, but the upcoming ones were going to be stronger.
While he was certain his Qi could still defend it, he wanted to be sure. So, instead of Qi, he pulled out his blood aura from his body.
The blood aura entered the Sun's Womb and made another protective layer around the pills.
The 3rd pair of lightning bolts struck the cauldron again, and Alex protected his pills once again.
Soon after, as the 4th pair of lightning bolts prepared to fall, Alex put in some more blood Qi and protected them the best he could.
When the lightning struck the pill and he managed to protect it, Alex immediately pulled the pills out. His blood aura was still slightly stronger, but there was no guarantee that it was strong enough to survive a single one of the 5th strikes, let alone two.
