Chapter 110
"What did you think I was doing these three hours? Logan helped me refine the seal that was placed upon me after I entered the secret realm . That seal was responsible for sealing my Body Tempering Cultivation and Energy Gathering Cultivation . "
"Couldn't you have removed it when you got out of the secret entrance?" Davis questioned in a soft tone .
Claire replied with a sad face, "I couldn't because that seal was ingeniously connected to the seal which restricted my soul . So I could only remove the seal after you had erased that seal which had been placed on my soul!"
"Why are you so full of seals!?" Spreading his hands wide, he shouted back .
A proud grin could be seen on her face, "Obviously, it was because of those scoundrels from the same generation as me . They couldn't beat me, so they had no choice but to use some dirty tricks to take care of me!" She then scoffed, "If not, your father would've had no chance to save me . Instead, I would've killed your father if that event didn't happen . "
"You jest! We were of the same strength back then, and it was difficult to say who would've gained victory if we fought!" Logan replied back, not willing to admit to her statement .
"Alright, I won't interfere casually, but if you are in danger, then I will interfere regardless of your opinion!" Davis said as if no could change his mind .
Claire and Logan both stayed silent . It could be seen that they accepted his proposal as well .
"Davis, your alchemy teacher has been waiting for you all this time . Why don't you go see him?" Claire suddenly uttered .
Davis made a dumbfounded face as he stood up, "I totally forgot!"
After stating that, he took off like a lightning bolt and ran outside . Dashing outside the corridor, he sprinted to the residence of Alchemist Highwood .
He was keenly interested in practising Alchemy now that he had some knowledge of it .
Standing in front of his residence, he knocked on the door .
"Teacher Kevin, your disciple is here!" Davis shouted as he waited for his reply .
"Hmm, Prince Davis? Come inside . " Hurried footsteps could be heard along with an amiable voice that echoed in his ears .
The door opened and Alchemist Highwood was smiled warmly at him .
Davis replied with a wry smile on his face, "No need to call me prince, just call me by name, teacher . "
"Alright, if you say so!" Alchemist Highwood replied and moved into the residence .
The residence was packed with the smell of various ingredients making it feel like an enclosed garden of vegetation .
Looking around the room, it was full of utensils and some ugly mess with fumes around the corner .
"Haha, don't mind it . I was just trying to create a new pill, but it just ended up exploding not too long ago!" Alchemist Highwood laughed as he saw his curious face .
"A new pill? What is it about?" Davis asked with a curious expression on his face .
*cough* "Do you want to practice alchemy now?" Alchemist Highwood replied with a question .
"Yes!" Determination and excitement were visible on Davis's face . After being reminded by his parents, he wanted to try his hand on alchemy as soon as possible .
"Alright, stand there!" Alchemist Highwood pointed at a direction where there were a few ingredients and a small cauldron that was placed on a table .
Davis nodded and approached the table . He stood in front of the cauldron and grinned .
"I presume you know what you are going to make with those ingredients present . " Alchemist Highwood raised his brows as he questioned .
"Lesser Healing Pill, Mortal Grade!" Davis replied with a confident tone .
Alchemist Highwood smiled, "Good, now explain the process on how to make that pill . "
Opening his mouth, he answered calmly, "Heat up the cauldron with fire while placing the ingredients one by one into the cauldron as mentioned according to the pill recipe . Control the temperature until the ingredients transform into pill essence . Once the pill essence is visible, use the soul energy to collect the pill essence and later mould it into a pill!"
Walking beside Davis, Alchemist Highwood explained, "Good, in case if you're using your soul to heat up the cauldron, you must learn to control your soul energy well . For beginners, we'll start it with some normal fire using basic coal . "
Davis's face turned solemn as he lit up the fire under the cauldron manually . A blazing fire erupted under the cauldron as its intensity increased over time, causing the liquid in it to boil .
"Control the temperature . " A calm voice echoed behind Davis .
"Yes," Davis uttered and maintained the temperature from changing, "Now start adding the ingredients!"
Davis nodded and moved his hands to the ingredients that were placed on the side . He picked up a herb that looked like grass, crushed it into a paste and added it to the cauldron .
'Healing Grass, a mid-level mortal grade herb that adds the property of healing to the pill . '
Waiting for five seconds, he moved his hand to pick up
another herb which was light greyish in colour and threw it into the cauldron .
'Numbing Herb, a low-level mortal grade herb that can make the pain less when someone swallows the pill . '
A few seconds passed before he picked up another two ingredients and threw them into the cauldron again .
"A five-year-old ginseng and a balancing grass, ginseng inputs vitality into the pill while the balancing grass, helps the three effects to perfectly blend together, forming the Lesser Healing Pill . "
The cauldron suddenly boiled over as some light red vapour started to emit from it .
Davis narrowed his eyes and knew that it was the time .
*Swish*
He used his soul energy to wrap around the essence that looked like red vapour and condensed it into the shape of a pill .
A few seconds passed before a pill that was light red formed with some blemishes on its surface . The pill was at the size of a pigeon egg and looked ordinary .
"Excellent, the quality of the pill is low, but to succeed on your first try is truly marvellous!" Alchemist Highwood's eyes glowed with fervour while he had a proud grin on his face . He only took a glance before finding out the quality of the pill .
Davis looked at the light red pill that was in his trembling hands . He was incredibly excited to have made his very first pill!
