«What's that?» Pearce asked as stares at a rusted pot-like object that was on top of the wooden table in his room from inside his body.
«Its a cauldron» His replica casually replied as he sat on the chair right in front of the wooden table.
«Cauldron? What's that?» Pearce asked with a curious expression on his face.
«Well, I don't know how I should put it but just take it like an object us alchemist use to make pills and medicinal potions» His replica explained calmly as a golden flame suddenly popped out of his right hand.
Fwissh!
«So where did you get the cauldron because I know I haven't seen such a rusted cauldron before» Pearce asked with a doubtful expression on his face.
«Lets just say it was a gift» His replica said with a mysterious smile on his face as he brought out some materials from Pearce's storage pouch.
«Gift? From whom?» Pearce asked with a curious look on his face.
«Thats something I can't tell you» His replica replied with a mysterious smile still on his face.
«Ok let's say it was a gift. How are you going to make potions with a rusted cauldron?» Pearce asked skeptically.
«Am not going to make potion with this cauldron until I repair it to my satisfaction» His replica replied calmly as he prepares to work.
«Refine?» Pearce asked with a confused expression on his face. But his replica totally ignored him as he began to work on the cauldron.
Firstly, Pearce's replica used his alchemist golden grade 2 fire to melt the cauldron, merged the liquid cauldron with the medicinal herbs which he has also liquidize with his alchemist fire and finally, he reshaped the liquidized cauldron which seems to now be in a different color back into being a cualdron.
Right from when Pearce's replica began to repair the cauldron till when he finished, only two hours has gone by.
«My God! You totally transformed this cauldron» Pearce said with a shocked expression on his face.
After repairing it for a good two hours, the cauldron now looks like an entirely different cauldron. It was now cover in golden color with red, blue and green colors formed a criss cross patter round the body of the cauldron.
«Now that the cauldron is fixed, let's begin to make the potion» The replica said as he began to bring out some medicinal herbs from Pearce's pouch.
«Umm… can I ask you something?» Pearce asked with a anxious expression on his face.
«Sure» His replica said calmly
«When are you going to teach me on how to become an alchemist?» Pearce asked in anticipation.
«I can begin to teach you right now if you want» His replica said with a light smile on his face as he thought.
‹I have been waiting for you to say this for a long time›
«Yes please!» Pearce hurriedly answered with a joyful and a excited expression on his face.
And so, Pearce's replica began to teach Pearce on how to become an alchemist or to be more accurate is the way of the Medicinal Dao while also making the Body Refinement Potion and an unfamiliar pill.
«All done» Pearce's replica said as he stared at the ten porcelain bottles that was lined up on the wooden table with a satisfied expression on his face.
«What were those pills you maked earlier?» Pearce asked with a curious expression on his face.
«These pills are Body Advancement Pills. These pills will help you to reach the bottleneck towards the Spirit Fusion Rank fast» His replica said with a proud smile on his face.
«Really!!» Pearce asked with brightened eyes.
«Sure! Now let's go test these stuffs out» His replica said as he carried the ten porcelain bottles and went into the bathroom.
When Pearce went into the bathroom earlier. Although the saw a pod at the center on the bathroom, the also saw a unique bathtub which was shaped in circle.
«These bathtub is entirely made for body tempering!» Pearce's replica said with a surprised look in his face.
«So when am I going to begin?» Pearce asked as he stared at the unique bathtub with interest.
«Right now!» Pearce's replica said with an anticipated expression on his face.

A week later….
Knock! Knock! Knock!
In front a small white colored building, a lady could be seen standing right in front of it. This lady seems to be in her 20s as she has a silky long dark hair, a pair of dark eyes, a face that seems to come out directly from a well made painting and a really seductive body that was tightly covered in a dark green colored military uniform.
'This must be the house of that transferred soldier' The lady thought as she patiently waited for the door right in front of her to be opened.
'I wonder how this person will look like' The lady taught again with a worried look now I'm her face.
'Only a few soldiers this year nice. The rest is entirely different' The lady thought as she suddenly had the urge to puke. But she immediately subdued it when she heard clanging sounds at the door in front of her.
"Gosh!, I wonder how long I have stayed in that bathtub?" Said a 13 year old boy as he tries to use his right hand to block the sunlight from entering his eyes.
But after his eyes finally adapted to the sunlight, he removed his right from his face and looked at the lady who was standing right in front of his door with a dazed expression in her face.
'What a beauty!' Pearce thought as he was slightly amazed by how good looking the lady in front of him is.
'She might be on par with Caroline' Pearce thought as he tries to compare the lady in front of him to a girl he was friends with back in the branch at Country A.
"Umm… can I help you?" Pearce asked when he saw that the lady was still dazed. When the lady heard this question, she immediately came back to her senses as she said with a charming smile now in her face.
"Sorry for my manners. My name is Hinata Ferguson and am here to bring you to the Soldier Rank Conference Meeting that is holding today"
"Eh? Is it today?" Pearce suddenly asked with a shocked expression on his face.
"Yes" Hinata replied with a charming smile still on her face.
'That means I have been in that bathtub for a week' Pearce thought with a surprised look on his face.
Grrrrrr!
Not long after Pearce thought that, his tummy suddenly grumpled out loud. When Hinata heard this, her charming smile suddenly twitched.
"Sorry. I haven't eaten for a week now" Pearce said with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Should I wait for you to get something to eat?" Hinata asked with a smile still in her face.
"Oh no, we can go to meeting now. I have a few snacks in my storage pouch so I will be ok" Pearce hurriedly replied with a light smile on his handsome face.
