Chapter 379 - The Alchemist (1/2)
Ryuu stepped inside a hollowed out tree, as soon as he entered the tree, he touched its interior and upon his touch multiple array began to form and soon it covered most of the interior, then with a snap of his finger the array glowed momentarily.
A huge Rainbow Comb Pythin had caught sight of Ryuu and was making its way slowly and steadily it had seen Ryuu enter a train hollow its prey was trapped when all of a sudden it stopped abruptly as it looked around confused as it had completely forgotten what it had been doing a few minutes ago, it hissed in embarrassment before it changed its direction and went towards a different direction in search of a prey.
Meanwhile Ryuu nodded at his work pleased he had managed to erect an array that would not only hide the tree but also misdirect anyone who had arrived too close for comfort and make them go away, he had already sensed the snake following him and had decided to use it as a guinea pig and it had worked perfectly, normally anyone who would arrive near the tree would not only not notice the tree but also move away from it, the snake suffered the same fate but since it was already following Ryuu it simply forgot Ryuu's existence as such after that it simply moved away from the place under the effect of the array.
Ryuu waved his hand as a small burst of KI and the place was clean, Ryuu then promptly placed his cauldron on the ground as he placed his hand on its side as it was injected with his KI it slowly activated as various drawing of various creatures began to move slowly, the cauldron was specially crafted for Ryuu by his teacher Maheswara with great care, and it was so well designed at that Ryuu can use it to concoct pills with as many as 81 different ingredients each separately prepared under different conditions until they would be joined together.
Ryuu quickly separated the essence of various medicinal plants each occupying various spaces, he had decided to create five different medicinal pills and a healing salve, he quickly separated the essence from the ingredients as each occupied different part of the cauldron some place was freezing cold and some hot, Ryuu practically feel the call of the ingredients as if they were whispering sweet nothingness into his ears, he could feel their wants and desires as he molded the essence into desired stage he could feel the Grand Dao of Alchemy itself holding his hand and it always felt euphoric to him, the smell of the ingredients hit his nostrils as the lid floated and sealed the cauldron, the antitoxin pill was a bit tricky in comparison to the others as a couple of its ingredient needed to be done while being exposed to open air as such select part of the lid opened up for the air to flow in.
Ryuu could feel most of the impurities separate from the essence leaving behind the almost pure part of the essence he then slowly began to guide them as they interacted and flirted with each other slowly merging into one.
Ryuu did not have time as such he decided to concoct all the necessary pills as well as the healing slave at the same time, something that was inconceivable to others including Ryuu until he stepped into the realm of Legends, he fell the cauldron shake as he gave his undivided attention into it, as sizzling, hissing and crackling noises were heard and it soon came to an end, as he opened the lid he was greeted by freshly made pills of excellent quality but before he could say anything a tine black cloud appeared on top of his cauldron as he tensed this was the final part of the pill creation process, the 'Pill Tribulation', any and all pill upon crossing a certain threshold would undergo Tribulation and according to his teacher it was the 'Blessings of the Heaven' itself and as such any cultivator worth their salt would use it further purify to the pills and soon the tribulation began as small albeit deadly spark of lightning descended on the pill trying to turn Ryuu's creation into ash it would as it would not allow such blasphemy against it to exist, Ryuu welcomed the lightning with open arms as it guided it in to the pills further removing any form of impurity present inside it, a few moments later the tribulation cloud vanished as if it was never even there to begin with as Ryuu let out a huff of relief as he examined the pills, he let out a sigh as he spoke with a hint of sadness in his voice, ”A little over 90% pure even after tribulation I failed to make it reach 91% mark, oh well I do not have much time I have to return.”
Zywia was in great pain, and even if she was being taken care of the pain did not lessen by much, 'I now wish I had become a body cultivator instead of a KI cultivator at least I would not only have had a higher threshold of pain but also some form of regeneration.'
”I hope I am not late how is she holding?”, a voice brought her as much relief as rain brings to a thirsty land, Ryuu had arrived and that means now she would get treated.
Frost Flames and others moved in order to give Ryuu some space who kneeled by her side as he pushed a couple of pills down her throat without giving anyone chance to speak, they might not have been able to hold the pills but they had managed to catch a glance at it also the smell made their breath hitch.
Zywia felt the immediate effect of the pills, it felt like able to deep in cool water after staying under murderously hot sun but its effect did not end there for a moment it felt as if she was in her mother's loving embrace.
