It hadn't taken Alex very long to realize that understanding the composition and structure of pills was not an endeavor he could take on alone. He absolutely needed help from his master. 

So, he started focusing his time on other things such as finding new pill recipes using energy alone. Most people would take ages to do this, but thanks to his Spiritual sense, Alex could easily recognize the strength and type of the energy and thus quite easily predict what would happen with the energy.

Still, the energy got harder and harder to predict as more and more energy was added on and he definitely broke quite a few cauldrons.

That didn't stop him from progressing in his journey as an alchemist very fast. By the time he would leave this formation, he would easily become a Common Heaven grade alchemist.
