Chapter 83 - The Cure (1/2)

After they have paid their respect, they both raise up before waiting for the grand elder to speak.

The grand elder didn't say anything as he just stood on the roof with his hand placed behind his back as he said while looking at Jason.

”I never thought you will be coming this early”.

”That is what I also thought but here I am” replied Jason with a chuckle.

Seeing the two having a conversation as if they knew each other, Austin couldn't help but turn to look at the grand elder before turning his gaze back at the stranger.

”For you to come back is either you have achieved a breakthrough into the foundation realm since you can stand your ground against Austin” said the grand elder.

When Austin heard what the grand elder was saying, he suddenly thought of one person who would be so bold as to come to the refining room to cause trouble.

”I could've thought that I recognize that voice” thought Austin as he stare at Jason attentively.

”Well, I actually breakthrough not quite long so I decided to come back as soon as possible to ask when we will be setting out” replied Jason with a smile.

”Haha, I knew you will not let me down boy and as for the time of departure, it has not been decided so you still have time to prepare” said the grand with a laugh as he descended from the rooftop.

”So you finally decided to come out of your hidden place out of shame that you couldn't beat me to the bet eh” said Austin as he walked to Jason with a proud smile on his face.

”Oh please spare me all that rubbish you leech, I can never hide from someone who can't do things on their own without relying on their family for help” replied Jason as he took off the mask.

”Ha, what a lame excuse that is, anyways since I won the bet you will have to follow my command while we are in the ruin” said Austin as he busts into LM laughter.

”Cant you stop saying that at times like this we should be talking about how we are going to survive there and besides how am I supposed to go in search of treasure when I will be carrying your stuff” asked Jason in anger.

”I don't care and you should have thought about it before accepting the challenge” replied Austin.

”Whatever you say man, so grand elder is the pill ready yet” asked Jason as he ignored Austin.

”It was very tasking on my part since not all the required herbs were found among the herbs that were delivered to the family so I have to go look for them myself” replied the grand elder.

”So were you able to find them and made the pill” asked Jason in excitement since the grand elder went in search of the herbs himself, there is no way on earth that he will not be able to find them.

”Well I did and I have to say that the pill is quite powerful” replied the grand elder with a smile on his face as he pulled a small pouch out of his robe as he passed it to Jason.

Taking the pouch from the grand elder, Jason opened it to peep at what was inside only for him to see five gray small pills which are not letting out any energy and he had to turn to the bracelet for confirmation.

”Hey is this the pill that you are talking about”.

”Well it is, although its quantity is not that high but it should be more than enough to heal your mother of her illness” replied the bracelet.

”Finally my mother wont is in pain any longer after today” said Jason before keeping it away and bow to the grand elder.

”You don't have to go that far to thank me boy since it is my duty as an alchemist to do whatever I can to save a patient and let's not forget about you going all out to make it into the slot even when you are not a member of our family” said the grand elder as he gesture for Jason to get up.

”Well I am not going there for the sake of the fox family rather I am going there to look for treasures” replied Jason with a chuckle as he raised from his bow.

”You can do what you like when you are in since the reason why you all are going in was to hunt for treasures but don't forget to look at for each other while you are at it” said the grand elder.

”Yeah about that, I heard it is going to be really dangerous down there” asked Jason.

”There is no free meal in the jungle so I how you guys are prepared because you are going to face danger unlike you have never faced before” replied the grand elder before turning around and walk into the alchemy room with the two standing outside.
