with both faes and martin agreeing to refine golden divine spirit transformation pill leo couldn't help but have a headache. both have completely ignored him! if faes lost then his company which had a slight hope would be doomed. and even though the company was his they didn't even asked for his opinion on the matter!
"Mr. leonardo we have to trouble you to prepare the necessary materials" faes turned to leo after martin agreed to her request.
leo sighed as he sent someone to get the materials ready, then he whispered to faes
"how much are you confident in refining the pill?"
faes thought for a moment. last time she refined the pill she haven't checked its rank. but from aiden's expression at that time and the price it sold by, it should be of good and high rank and quality.
"you will see don't you? actually i have never tested out my alchemy level before but don't worry i have refined the pill before and that time i was a lot weaker than now" faes replied smiling but her reply didn't managed to calm leo's racing heart, it even increased his headache. she haven't even checked her alchemist level?
before leo could say something his subordinate told them the materials were ready in the refining rooms.
"we will both use one refining room, and leave the finished product with the tester prepared. to make sure we don't cheat the whole process will be recorded. whoever's pill gets a higher rank will win. we wont use our personal tools but the ones in the room though we can use our mana" martin stated.
faes nodded as both entered their own respective rooms leaving leo outside with the tester who would determine the pill's rank stressing out.
faes glanced around the room nodding at the high quality and quantity of materials. she took the herbs and began to measure them separating the necessary amount from the rest before cutting them and grinding in the mortar and piston. she preferred to use a mixer grinder but this will have to do for now.
after making the paste she filtered the essence using her spiritual power from the paste and placing it in a separate bottle. she repeated the procedure five times for each herb making five sets of each essence. in the end she began to make the basic composition of the pill using the core materials. pure gold and spirit crystal.
the normal spirit crystal only contain low spiritual energy which would only enhance the pill slightly hence as usual faes picked few more spirit crystals and refined them. after the refined crystal became size of a toenail did faes stop. faes then refined the pure gold into liquid form and then began to mix the herb's essence concentrating them too using her spiritual energy.
in the end the five essence sets were turned into one which she mixed with the gold and then boiled it till it became a paste. after that she mixed it with the spiritual energy in spirit crystal. when the energy in the crystal mixed with the herbal essence and gold as medium it transformed into a jelly-like substance. a very thick jelly.
while faes was doing this she had also used her purple fire to heat the cauldron equally from all sides preparing it.
using her spiritual energy faes shaped the jelly into circular pills before placing them into a tray and then the cauldron closing its lid.
she constantly supplied it heat and spiritual energy from all directions equally and even turned the pills around halfway. soon the pills backed and a aroma escaped the cauldron increasing the spiritual energy in the surrounding.
faes cut off the fire and took out the pills letting them cool. there were two pills in total both transparent golden coloured. they even shined slightly in the light. the outer layer was solid like glass while the inside seem to be liquid while it increased the spiritual energy around it even without doing anything. it was no surprise that it was a high rank pill.
outside the refinement room leo and the tester were waiting. its been two hours since the two entered the rooms and they were yet to leave the rooms. just as leo was about to burst a nerve or two from the headache and pressure and anxiety one of the door opened.
master martin left the room looking pale, he was clearly tired after the refinement but he seemed confident and even proud. he had managed to refine a epic ranked pill. with this that girl was going to get defeated thoroughly while the rare herbs and freedom will be his. this thought made his ecstatic.
he got to the tester and gave him the pill glancing around. 'that girl is still in the room?' he snorted. hiding in to room if the pill isn't good wont help.
"incredible! its an epic ranked pill! as expected from master moore" the tester said as he checked the pill with smile. while when leo heard the tester his face paled further. his company was doomed! there was no way faes was going to refine an epic ranked pill or higher.
just as leo was having a mental breakdown faes emerged from her room. she didn't look much worn out and was even smiling faintly as she arrived in front of others.
"if you have successfully refined the pill then that's a good thing too at your age. having refine an advance grade pill, you must be an advanced alchemist in the least. you don't have to feel down just because you lost. i have refined an epic ranked pill that's yours as a reward for this competition" master martin said but faes just smiled in return.
"i thank master martin moore for the epic ranked pill but i would still love for my pill to be ranked. i want to know what rank my pill got" faes smiled. she didn't know what rank the pill had, she didn't care about the competition at all. it wont cost her anything either way.
"sure" the tester took the pill from faes and checked it but it only made the tester open his eyes and mouth wide. the pill had a perfect circular shape, with outer layer solid and inner layer liquid. the pill even condensed spiritual energy around itself and shined in light.
it was definitely a legendary ranked pill! a legendary ranked pill, something that was mentioned in legends and not in real life. it had been centuries since last legendary ranked pill was last seen.
the testers hand shook as he held the pill shock filling his whole body.
while martin saw the testers unusual reaction he frowned.
"what's the matter? what rank is the pill?" martin asked. but the tester didn't reacted, only opening and closing his mouth constantly.
feeling slightly hesitant he took the pill from the tester but with just a glance he too was shocked his body similarly frozen.
"quick tell me what rank is my pill? is it advanced rank? or lower?" faes asked curious watching the two elders. she seriously didn't know about how to determine rank of a pill, she only know how to make pills with the best medicinal properties.
"its-" the tester hesitated glancing at master martin but seeing as he was still in shock he continued
"its legendary ranked advanced grade golden divine spirit transformation pill"
faes nodded and then asked the tester about how to determine the ranks of a pill.
as the tester was teaching faes leo was so shocked that he fell down on his knees. legendary ranked pill! an eleven year old girl who doesn't even know about how to rank a pill and have never tested her alchemy level had refined a legendary rank advanced pill.
