88 Crystal Pill
A week went by after Alex asked Alicia and Firia a date. He continued his practice all this time. After a week, he was summoned by his teacher
"You finally come back huh... I thought you are going to practice more even I call you here"
"Umm, I'm sorry Teacher"
"Whatever, The ingredients for the Crystal Pill is in there"
Alex nodded, "Thank you teacher"
"Sure, Is there any pill that you want to create again?"
Alex contemplated a bit and shook his head "Not for a while, there are still some rank 1 or rank 2 pills. But there is no usage for them. I mean, their usage was 'Increasing nose length' or 'Increasing Hair length..."
"Now teacher mention it, maybe we can make some of these beauty pills. There are three of them, Hair Maker Pill, Smoothing Pill, and Conserving Skin Pill. Their usage respectively was to increase the hair length, increase the hair smoothness, and conserving the smoothness of your skin. I know the ingredients for Alchemy weren't cheap, these three pills can give us some money. These three pills ingredients also have monster core in it. With the monster core as an ingredient, the pills usually formed larger. That way, we can make a few pills with one set of ingredients. That will lower the cost." Alex explained.
"Hoho... Interesting. Let's do that"
"Let me write the recipes first. Oh yeah, there is another one. The berserk pill"
"Berserk pill?" the dean frowned.
"Yes, the pill will make one tap his latent potential, boosting his/her strength twice for a few minutes. But after that, the user would be significantly weaker"
The dean's eyes widened."Th-that pill would be very precious in the battle"
"With this pill, one can overturn the situation" Alex nodded, "There are three ranks of this pill, which is 1 to 3. Rank one pill was useful for those in rank 3 or lower. Rank 2 pill was useful for those in rank 6 or lower and rank 3 pill was useful for those in rank 9. But there is a caution for this pill. If you are a rank 3 warrior and use the rank 2 Berserk Pill. His body would be exploded because of pill energy."
"Fumu" The dean nodded.
"Let me write all of the recipes first" Alex picked up a few papers and start writing. After a while, he checked all of them once again before handing it to his teacher. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click NNnovel.com for visiting.
"This is the recipes"
The dean looked at them one by one."These three beauty pills' ingredients weren't that rare, I can find all of them in a week. This berserk pill, as expected. The ingredients for rank 1 and rank 2 berserk pills weren't that hard to find. But this rank 3 Berserk Pill was a bit troublesome. I will try to find it first"
Alex nodded, "Then, I will take these ingredients with me and refined the Crystal Pill first"
The dean nodded.
Alex grabbed the ingredients and went to the courtyard. He found Alicia and Firia practicing together. Sherry was lying on a couch, sleeping. When Alex came, she immediately opened her eyes and jump off the couch.
"Wuu Wuu" She looked at Alex with a star on her eyes. It was telling Alex that she wants to eat
Alex looked at Sherry and shook his head "Let me make a pill first, I will give you the flame after I finished"
"Wuu" She reluctantly agreed. She went back to the couch.
Noticing Sherry's sound. Alicia and Firia who were practicing stopped. Alicia immediately run toward Alex and asked, "Are you going to practice again?"
Alex smiled and shook his head "No, I will make your pill now"
Firia nodded, "Should we left the courtyard?"
"No, though I need to ask you to leave the field. You can stay here with Sherry a bit"
"We can watch you?" Alicia asked.
"If you want" Alex nodded.
This is the first time they watch Alex making a pill. Usually, Alex made them in the dean's workshop. But because of his new technique, he decided not to make the pill there again. In case he destroyed the workshop since it really needs a more complicated process.
"Wuu Wuu Wuu" Sherry let out a sound while pointing her paw toward an empty space beside her. It seems telling them 'Stay there, don't get too close, Master Flame is so blazing. And also be quiet as to not disturb him'
Alicia and Firia make a weird look in their faces. They somehow managed to perceive what Sherry said. They slowly walked over to the spot that Sherry's pointed at.
Alex already set up all his ingredients. After checking all of the ingredients once again, he looked toward Alicia, Firia, and Sherry once again.
"Wuu Wuu" Noticing Alex gaze, Sherry immediately raised her paw, Alex know what it means. Sherry tell him 'Good Luck, Master'
Alicia and Firia also understand what she said. They immediately shouted, not wanting to be outdone by her, "Good Luck Alex"
Watching at their interaction, Alex giggled a bit. He then closed his eyes to focus his mind. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes. He raised the cauldron with mana to below his chest level.
A dense of translucent red flame flared up from the inside of the cauldron. Because of the previous Quenching Fire Pill. Alex flame intensity went up a notch. The bright red flame raised from the cauldron. Because of the dragon pattern looking toward the sky. The dragon looks like breathing flame. Alex continues doing this for a while. The cauldron started to warm up.
After the temperature is enough, Alex waved his hand. The first ingredient, 'Ice Fruit' flew up and was finally thrown into the cauldron. The instant the 'Ice Fruit' went inside, there is a spark of temperature. With Alex flame temperature. There is a sudden drop in temperature. The Ice Fruit fought back. It released its cold attribute. The situation was only a flash. Alex immediately raise his flame once more and completely suppressed it. Though Alex raised his flame, he was very careful in his control as to not damage the medicinal herb. He raised his flame temperature to a precise degree.
Alicia and Firia were dumbfounded with this scene. This is the first time they watched Alex make a pill. When there is a sudden drop in temperature, their jaw dropped. They know, the cause was the fruit in front of them. They also noticed that Alex immediately suppressed it. Alicia felt a little dread in that clash. The energy that released from the fruit was far stronger than her own ice energy. Alicia didn't know that the Ice Fruit in front of them is a rank 6 medicinal herb. The ice energy released from it was enormous.
Contrary to her, Firia was shocked by the other thing. She was shocked by Alex's suppression. When Alex raised his flame, she felt an elemental suppression from Alex's flame, it was like a commoner looking at the king. She already knows that Alex flame was unordinary. But not to this extent. She thought that the gap was closed when she took the Quenching Fire Pill. She felt that her fire become much stronger after she took the pill. But, not only the gap wasn't closer, it was even wider.
"Firia, do you notice his flame control?" Alicia asked after observing Alex closely. Because of the elemental difference. Alicia didn't feel much suppression from the flame. Though she felt the flame was very tyrannical, but that's all to it. So after she carefully observing him, she knows that Alex controlled his flame temperature to the precise degree. Because of this, she decided to ask Firia who have the same element.
Firia eyes widened when she heard Alicia's question. Now that she asked about it, She realized that Alex flame's control was very precise. She asked herself 'What if I am the one in there? Can I control that sudden spark of ice energy?'. the answer is no. She shook her head bitterly, "My control was very far from him"
"Don't worry, you will feel better if you regard him as an abnormal" Looking at Firia who bitterly shook her head, she decided to console her.
"Wuu Wuu" Hearing the noise they made, Sherry immediately warned them. 'Keep it down'
They were dumbfounded. They looked at each other with a weird smile and bitterly shook their heads. Sherry was more careful than them. If they knew what Sherry's actual thought was, they will cough blood.
Sherry actual thought was like this, 'If master failed, he will be in a bad mood. If he is in a bad mood, there will be no food for her'
Alex who completely ignored his surrounding moved to the next step. The fruit started to meltdown into a blue droplet leaving the blue fruit wither. He threw the wither blue fruit and continue refining the blue droplet He raised his flame once again and soon, a light gray vapor started to raise from the droplet. He slowly expelled the impurities within the blue droplet. The process only took around ten minutes. Because of the Quenching Fire Pill. He can expel these impurities faster.
After finishing the first medicinal herb, he covered the liquid with his flame and immediately refined the second medicinal herb. He continuously refined the medicinal herbs without rest for two hours. Before he refined the last ingredients which are the monster core.
Alicia looking at him continuously refining, worried. She asked Firia again "Firia, Is he not exhausted his mana for continuously using his flame?"
Firia shook her head "No, he only used a bit of his mana at a time. His control enabled him to continuously used the existing flame to continue"
"Maybe... we should practice our control more?"
"Yes we might need to practice our control more" after looking at Alex's efficient way, she arrived at that conclusion.
"Wuu Wuu" Sherry once again reprimanded them.
They scratched their cheek embarrassedly.
The refinement of the monster core didn't take too long. The energies from all ingredients assimilating perfectly while circling around Alex. In other eyes, the ingredients look like dancing with Alex as the center. After the assimilating is done, they flew into the cauldron and started to merge with each other. Alex keeps his flame while waiting for this process. After a while, the pill embryo started to form, as usual, the size was bigger than the normal pill. Alex separated them into three.
"Pill Formed"
