Alex didn't immediately return to his cave and instead visited Sunheart. He wanted to get to making those pills, but since he was already out, he could ask her for the materials to be used in the Mountain Crushing artifact.
"You want what now?" Sunheart was confused when she heard the request.
"Materials. Small, but rough ones. Strong too," Alex said, bringing out a bunch of the ores to show her. "Like these. I need them to completely surround me so I can cultivate my body."
Sunheart was still confused. "You can train your body with just that?" she asked.
"I have an artifact for it," he said. "But yeah, I need those strong materials. It's alright if you don't have any, Elder. I just came here for suggestions more so than anything on what I should get."
Sunheart thought for a moment. "So you want something small and rough, but also very strong that they don't lose their roughness, right?"
Alex nodded.
"I… might have something."
