397 Mission 1 completed (1/2)

'Since I mix the essence of the ingredients at the wrong time?' This was the only place where Ajax thought he would go wrong and starting analyzing the properties of those herbs.

'That's right! How can I forget about this thing,'

After pondering for a few minutes he had finally found the reason where the pill refinement had gone.

'The Mage leaves contain the essence of nature that was almost similar to a rank 2 ingredient, so that control that I have to use only half the separated essence of the ingredient,' Ajax smiled a little as he felt that learning alchemy is more and more interesting.

With each failure, he was learning something new that made him feel good.

Since Ajax was thirsty for the knowledge from his childhood, alchemy was a tailor-made profession for him that requires learning continuously even in the most basic things.

'Let's do it right this time,'

Ajax was not injured even a bit from the earlier pill explosion due to his carefulness. So, he was ready for the next pill refinement.

'Maybe I am becoming more and more like an alchemy maniac, haha,' Ajax laughed a little as he started separating the essences from the ingredients.

He hands controlled the fire skillfully as he was used to separating the essences from the ingredients and mix the essences at an appropriate time before closing the lid of the fire cauldron.

'Ting'

Soon, he got the sound from the fire cauldron which indicated that the pill refinement was completed.

'Remain calm, the fire cauldron is not going anywhere,' Ajax calmed himself and slowly dispersed the cauldron that was formed from the fire.

Soon the fire cauldron disappeared leaving behind the 18 green coloured shining pills in his hands.

'Phew...finally it's a successful one. Even though there are only 18 pills, it's a good thing to refine 18 pills,' he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the 18 green-coloured pills in his hands.

Although the refinement this time didn't give him 21 pills, he was satisfied with the 18 pills, since it was also a rare thing to refine 18 pills in a single refinement.

If any alchemist hears Ajax's words, then they would kill him even at the cost of their lives. Because even in the other provinces, it was a rare thing for an alchemist to refine 15 pills in a single refinement and not to mention he was able to refine 18 pills per a single refinement recently.

After keeping the 18 low-level healing pills into a small glass bottle, the first thing Ajax did was to check the time.

'Ding,

Remaining time:- 11 minutes

So, without wasting time, he adjusted his spirit consciousness which still contained more than half of the essence of nature in it.

Soon, he started refining the next refinement just like the previous one and he was focusing more when compared to the previous time as he was in a lot of stress.

He had to remain focused because if he failed the pill refinement this time, he would definitely fail the mission and his reward to become the rank 4 alchemy master would be delayed.

One second after another, time passed on and soon 5 minutes were passed in a blink of an eye and Ajax had completed separating the essence from the ingredients and thrown them into the fire cauldron at an appropriate time and maintained the continuous heat supply.

At one time, he would increase the heat supply and at another time he would decrease the heat flow.
