Alex barely spent time on the two sword techniques after returning to his cultivation sessions. He would take time out of his busy schedule every two to three months to train his techniques for a few days, but other than that, his focus was entirely on the Sun Fire.
Over the course of the next decade, he got closer and closer to learning it, with most of his time spent on just that.
He spread some of his time through other things he had to do, such as the pill recipes he had to come up with, the Pill Bugs he needed to take care of, or taking some breaks to interact with his family.
During one of those breaks, he learned that the small tournament that his father and brother-in-law went to every few decades was set to occur in some city in the west in just a few more months, but because Alex was at such an important stage, he could not go with them at all.
