Chapter 73：Ascension (2/2)

Alex didn't know what pills he was going to make, or what ingredients he was going to use. He waited in anticipation to find out.

After a bit of time had passed, and the cauldron was finally heated, Kong Yuhan took out the first ingredient and put it in.

Alex saw the ingredient and thought, ' A Slim Bane Treeleaf huh, that means he must be making one of 4 different pills.'

After a while, Kong Yuhan took out a second ingredient and put it in. This one gave Alex no information, as this ingredient followed the first one in every single one of his recipes.

'His cauldron isn't transferring the heat fast enough. The energy in the second ingredient isn't controlling the first one as quickly as it should.'

Alex could see the minute errors in Kong Yuhan's alchemy process thanks to his spiritual sense. Even while standing so far away, he could see the happenings in the cauldron very clearly.

Then Kong Yuhan put his third ingredient and put it in.

'Huh?' Alex was surprised. 'That's not one of the ingredients from a recipe I know. Did he get a recipe somewhere out of the sect?'

Alex watched as Kong Yuhan put in more and more ingredients to make a pill that he had absolutely no idea about.

Finally, after a while, the pill came out. Kong Yuhan frowned a little after seeing the pill's harmony. He took out a pill tester and tested the harmony of his new pill.

As soon as the pill touched the base of the glass, the fog appeared from the metal base and started crawling along the side of the tester, until it stopped.

Kong Yuhan looked at the number as sighed.

”Only 16%. Not having an aid really does make it hard. Especially when it's a new pill like mine.” Kong Yuhan cleaned the cauldron in preparation for another batch.

”Don't fret brother. You still have quite a few sets left. You can do it.” Jia Fen encouraged from the side.

”Yes, Brother Kong. You don't have to get disheartened.” Zhou Mi encouraged as well.

Alex and the other man stayed quiet but gave encouraging nods towards him.

Kong Yuhan smiled a little.

”You guys are right. This won't stop me at all. This was only my first time so I failed. The next times will be different.” Kong Yuhan switched his attention back to the cauldron and prepared for the second batch of ingredients.
