Alex walked through a tunnel.
For the last 4 days, he had spent his entire time either making pills or learning to craft formations on formation rods.
He started off slow and only carved formations with a lower amount of strokes. He was slowly learning how to make the formations on the rod.
During the nighttime, he also went to the Southern Forest for a few hours of fighting. He had his boat with him, which would help him reach the Mind Tempering realm beasts a lot faster.
Thanks to that, he had managed to gather quite a lot of Mind Tempering realm cores. He also killed as many Meridian Tempering beasts as he could to get cores for Pearl as well.
Finally, the last thing he did was send close to 700,000 dollars to his account once more, which he immediately distributed amongst his retirement fund, different shares, and his current account.
