The temperature of the elixir flames had been expertly controlled and anything less than that, the making of the elixir would be unsuccessful. Currently, a silver-haired old man was sitting in a cross-legged position in front of an elixir-furnace with green flames. His eyes slightly squinted and sweat poured off his face from the immense concentration. He was performing hand seals non-stop to infuse his true energy into the elixir-furnace.The elixir-furnace looked quaint and measured about half a yard, making it much smaller than all the other elixir-furnaces in the room. However, the starkest difference between this elixir-furnace and the others were the ancient patterns that were etched all around it. These patterns glowed brightly as if it was being fed by the green flames. It was evident that this elixir-furnace was not ordinary at all. The old man increased his speed of performing the hand seals and the green flame climbed to a height of seven feet, nearly enveloping the elixi
“Die, you brat!” Edgar’s true energy swirled around him like a python and it seemed as though it could explode any moment. His fury was visible for all to see. He could not believe that he — the best of the best elixir makers in the whole of The Boundless Academy — was being schooled by a brat who looked to be 15 or 16 years old. Were others to know this, he would never be able to live this down. The look in his eyes became more terrifying when he thought back to how Zephyr had interrupted him. “Huh! You still want to kill me? Phoenix grass, purple moonflower, white tiger root, mystery wild fruit, evergreen leaf, thousand year green-lotus…” Zephyr slowly listed out the ingredients, and with each name Edgar’s expression began to alter.He was intimately familiar with those ingredient names. These items were all that he had been thinking about, for each of those expensive ingredients were exactly what went into the making of the tier-six dark-dragon elixir.Apart from the technique u
“I could tell even just from a whiff of it…” said Zephyr honestly.“Just by the smell of it?” Edgar was completely floored by his answer. ‘What kind of monster is he?’ he thought. Even he, with his decades of experience, could not say with confidence where someone went wrong with making elixirs just by the smell of it. However, Zephyr had clearly pointed out his mistake. This alone was enough to prove he was the real deal. “Are you really a teenager?” he asked. The more he looked at Zephyr, the more he thought that Zephyr was a little monster.“Yes, of course!” said Zephyr. After getting the answer from him, Edgar could not be bothered with him anymore and began making the dark-dragon elixir again. Looking at how serious he was, Zephyr could not bear to disturb him anymore and so spent his time recalling all the events that led him there.‘The initiate who pointed me here… There’s definitely something fishy about him!’ thought Zephyr. According to what Edgar had said about his
Bursts of divine light flowed continuously in the furnace and a thick but not-overly strong medicinal aroma began to fill the air as five aquamarine elixirs slowly floated up from the furnace. Dragon-scaled patterns surround the elixirs. This made it look like a real dragon when the elixirs flickered, it seemed to be breathing out smoke. Coupling all this with the hint of dragon power emitted, the elixirs looked even more like a lifelike dragon. There was no doubt about what the both of them saw in front of their eyes; successfully made dark-dragon elixirs.“It’s finished!” said Edgar in a trembling voice when he saw the museum-worthy elixirs. The fact that he successfully made a tier-six elixir meant that his level in elixir-making had reached a new height.Suddenly, a movement caught Edgar’s attention. He turned back and was instantly shocked by his sight, for Zephyr had seemingly gathered random ingredients with no thought about the order they should go into the furnace.“Hey k
Judging by Zephyr’s practiced movement, it was obvious he had been using these techniques for a long time.“How is all of this possible? How is all of this possible at all?” Edgar kept on muttering to himself. The shock expression had never left his face once. It was already rare enough for an Elixir Grandmaster to be proficient in one of the techniques, but for a young person like Zephyr to be proficient in four? That was unheard of! “Don’t tell me he knows how to use the fire emperor nine-sun technique as well!” Both wood emperor green technique and fire emperor nine-sun technique are the most important amongst the five techniques. Between the two, the fire emperor nine-sun technique was the most superior for it was able to make the elixir flame more terrifying and pure while the former technique would help refine it. Edgar had seen the four techniques before and had become so astounded by it. What he was looking forward to was the fire emperor nine-sun technique. Zephyr did n
The mysterious elixir flame gradually dissipated as Zephyr slowed down his hand seal movements. With the elixir-furnace turned on and the elixir-rainbow glowing, the elixirs began to float up to the air one after another. The elixirs looked like fine jade agate and each of them emitted a strong fragrance that dissipated into every corner of the room.“Lunar Serpent elixirs…” said Zephyr with a smile. “One, two, three… nine in total!” Looking at the nine floating elixirs nearly made Edgar lose his mind. He would not be at all surprised if the legendary elixirs transformed into a human-shaped form and slapped him. All that had happened, was more than he could ever take. It was better for him to now shut down his mind before he really went insane. Nine elixirs is the maximum amount each elixir-making process could produce. Even for tier-one elixirs, Edgar would not dare to say confidently he could produce nine elixirs in one go. To the Elixir Grandmaster, nine was not just a number,
‘Keep calm…’ thought Edgar as he stared daggers at Zephyr. In all of his years of being alive, Zephyr was the first person who had ever behaved so disrespectfully towards him and would live to tell the tale. “Huh! Why would I want to observe you making elixirs? On the contrary, I thought your talent could use a little nurturing,” said Edgar.“Yeah, yeah. It’s fine if you don’t want to admit it,” said Zephyr. He did not mind Edgar’s fiery temper, but thought he could really benefit from Edgar’s status in The Boundless Academy and medicinal knowledge. “Do I get to keep the elixirs I make?”“You’ll only need to give me a minor portion and get to keep the majority of it,” said Edgar. That sounded reasonable to Zephyr. “Will I be allowed to use any of the ingredients in this room?”“Yes, whatever ingredient you want.” Even though most of the ingredients here were very expensive and would cost an astronomical amount of points to redeem, to Edgar, the benefits far outweigh the cost.
Lunar Serpent elixirs!To be able to produce such a helpful item left Zephyr in high spirits. After coming to Supreme Peak, Zephyr quickly went to work on these elixirs. As the elixirs appeared, they brought with them an air of potency, with gentle medicinal streams wafting off of it. Upon further inspection, one could make out a star-like shine upon their surfaces, as though it was a trail left by a comet.‘I need to capitalize on the chance to break through. Edgar Nash seemed quite powerful, I don’t think I even have a sliver of his abilities, though Cline does seem to be more powerful than him,’ Zephyr thought. Although Ethan Cline was often cold and mysterious, Zephyr could always tell there was more to him than meets the eye. As he pondered, he consumed one of the elixirs.As the elixir entered his body, a great surge of energy rushed through him. As he felt the elixir take effect, another burst of violent energy came rushing forth, leaving no room for Zephyr to react. Zephyr t
