Chapter 48: Crack Melding Potion (1/2)
Kadyn shouldn't have any stars in the first place. However she knew that somehow he managed to awaken his stars. But who could have thought that he had already reached that step and even tried to break through? How daring must he be to do something crazy like that?
”Alright, enough of this,” Kadyn shook his head, glimpsing her agape mouth. ”Let's start brewing.”
He took out the Five Star Spirit Grass and several other herbs and placed them on the table. The duo washed them carefully, cleaning all the impurities thoroughly. After all, a minor mistake could turn into a failure.
Kadyn explained to her the process of brewing the potion. Then said, ”make a solution of these herbs. Be careful, don't end up failing. We don't have enough herbs to start over again if we fail.”
Elora nodded and started to boil the herbs, she needed to extract the essence of these herbs. On the other hand Kadyn made a paste of the Five star Spirit Grass, and then filtered the juice in the beaker and started to heat it with the help of a burner.
”Nourishing Leave solution,” Kadyn said towards Elora.
”Here,” she said and passed the beaker filled with a green solution. Kadyn used the dropper to drop three drops in the beaker of Five Stars Spirit Grass and said. ”Root of the Rainy Mashroom!”
”Coming up,” without deliberation Elora passed a beaker of the brown solution—this process continued. Elora made the solution and Kadyn combined them. His face was grim and his body was covered in sweat, sticking to his body like glue.
Suddenly the entire solution started to produce bubbles—”Damn, it's becoming unstable!” Kadyn cursed and said to Elora. ”Give me the Calming Water.”
”Here,” she passed a small glass bottle, filled with blue liquid. This was the chemical that he had concocted previously—it had only a single function that was to calm the unstable solution during the brewing. It was fortunate that Kadyn had brewed it, or he would have wasted all the effort and the herbs without getting any result.
Kadyn dropped two drops of Calming Water and the solution calmed. He wiped the sweat from his temples and sighed in relief. It took over two hours to brew a single potion. He took this long because it was his first time and it was really hard to brew the Crack Melding Potion.
Nonetheless, in the end, he succeeded in concocting the potion. He looked at the vial filled with white solution and said to Elora. ”Alright, thanks for the help.”
”Do you really need to say such words to me,” Elora scoffed and scurried away, but Kadyn's words halted her steps abruptly. ”You will take over the auction tomorrow.”

The new day began and clouds of people gathered outside the shop. The gate was closed, not letting no one enter. Although many were displeased, no one expressed it.
Some of them knew what happened to Potioneer Yel when he attacked the shop. Kadyn hadn't spared even someone like Elder Yel—no one caused any trouble and waited for the gates to open.
”Go, open the gate,” Kadyn said to Hicka.
The kid nodded and swung open the gate. All the people outside started to rush. ”Please walk-in line. Don't try to cause trouble.” Hicka said. ”If anyone caused trouble, he would be banned for a lifetime. It doesn't matter how high his/her status is.”
Hearing his words, several people's faces changed. Though they were aware that Kadyn was arrogant they didn't think he would let his servant say such a thing. Won't that turn everyone against him?
However when they saw a large fascinating auction Hall, all of their eyes turned round and their mouths hung open. All of them had seen from outside how large this shop was. No way something this marvellous and large could be made in such a tiny place. Moreover there were several buildings like this.
