Chapter 298 - 292: The Origin of Elixir Soul
Apart from Yolanda York, Sylvia Creek, Cecily Mansfield, and Violet Cooper also summoned their unique pharmacy flames at this moment.
“Black Medicine Flame, Fighting Flame, and Purple Thunder.”
Looking at these colorful Level V pharmacy flames, a glint of envy flashed across David Jones’ eyes, especially since Yann York had the same Qianyang Pharmacy Flame as Yolanda York.
He shook his head, discarding those distracting thoughts. With a thought, the fiery red-gold flames in his elixir cauldron, stimulated by the Afterglow Array, surged with even greater intensity.
After Audrey’s multiple trials, he could now directly connect his psychic power with Daphne’s mind and his innate flame to refine Class IV elixirs with a high degree of control without summoning her.
As David Jones observed his teammates, his every move was also closely watched by the members of his team, as he was their captain.
“Red-gold flames! What kind of pharmacy flame is that? Solar Flame or Big Sun True Flame?”
Seeing the flames inside David’s cauldron, as powerful as her Qianyang Pharmacy Flame, even seemingly stronger, Yolanda York stared curiously at his figure.
“Wait, that’s the fragrance of Purple Star Fruit and Silver-Star Fruit! Could David be refining a Class IV S-tier elixir, the Star-Arcane Elixir?”
The moment this possibility came to mind, Yolanda’s hands controlling the flames trembled, and even the refining of her Class III B-tier elixir, Golden Recovery Elixir, failed in an instant.
However, Yolanda no longer had time to care for her failed elixir cauldron, her beautiful eyes fixed firmly on David’s cauldron.
What did it mean to be a 19-year-old Flare IV apex alchemist?
Simply put, it meant being an unparalleled genius in the history of pharmacy, never seen before in Flowery Kingdom!
Compared to that, a cauldron of Class III B-tier elixir was nothing.
Yolanda’s unusual behavior attracted the attention of the five pharmacists in the room immediately. However, sensing their nearly finished Class II elixirs in their cauldrons, they had no time to care about Yolanda’s failed alchemy, focusing entirely on their own cauldrons.
As time slowly passed, a thick fragrance wafted out of Yann’s cauldron, followed by light fragrance from the other Violet, Sylvia, and Cecily’s cauldrons.
As for Margaret Yule, being only a pharmacy apprentice, she had already completed refining her Frigid Powder of no tier, and then watched the others refine their elixirs.
“Success!”
Looking at the flawless Iron-Bone Elixir in his hand, Yann revealed an excited expression, his gaze turning towards Yolanda immediately.
“???”
Seeing that his cousin was staring at the captain with an unbelievable expression, Yann couldn’t help but look curiously at David’s elixir furnace.
“Is this the Star-Arcane Elixir?” His eyes widened in shock, and he stood there dumbfounded, not even noticing the Iron-Bone Elixir rolling out of his hand onto the ground.
Yolanda and Yann’s astonishment contrasted with David’s excitement as he sensed a quality elixir soul entering his Spirit Eye from Yann’s elixir cauldron.
He could sense that if he had five pharmacists like Yann refining elixirs around him every day, within a year or two, his Spirit Eye would undergo its third transformation!
Following Yann, the other three team members also finished refining their elixirs, and strands of elixir soul that ordinary people could not see flowed into David’s eyes one after another.
“Captain, haven’t you finished refining yet?” Sylvia Creek asked curiously.
By rights, the refining time of a Flare I alchemist should not be this long!
Yolanda ignored Sylvia, her entire being seeming petrified.
“What’s wrong with your cousin? It’s just a failed refining attempt, right?” Sylvia tilted her head to glance at Yann.
“The captain is refining the Class IV S-tier elixir, the Star-Arcane Elixir!” exclaimed Yann York, his expression extraordinarily brilliant.
As soon as these words came out, everyone had incredulous expressions on their faces, and Sylvia Creek couldn’t help but cover her red lips with her hand.
What a ridiculous captain!
Not only had Arcane Star stepped into Class IV on the day of the opening ceremony, but how could his pharmacy skills have reached the level of a Flare IV Alchemist? Could a human accomplish this?
Unlike the silence of Cecily Mansfield and Violet Cooper, Sylvia Creek stared blankly at David Jones, the light in her eyes shining brighter and brighter.
Admittedly, the calmest person in David Jones’ team right now was Margaret Yule.
Having known that David Jones had already become a junior pharmacist, she was not entirely overwhelmed by the inconceivable scene before her.
At this moment, the crimson gold flames inside the cauldron began to recede, and a flawless, round elixir shot out from David Jones’ elixir cauldron.
What a pity! This elixir’s quality is a bit lacking.” A tinge of regret flashed in David Jones’ eyes.
With the Spirit Eye, he didn’t even need to use the Identify skill; he could determine the quality of the elixir through the elixir soul’s quality nurtured during the refining process.
“Can I take a look at the Star-Arcane Elixir you refined?” Yolanda York asked with slightly reddened eyes.
“Sure.”
David Jones handed the elixir to her.
In terms of pharmacy skills, the new generation of the pharmacy realm should all look up to you. Even Danny, the ‘little king of elixirs’ from Peony City, is more than a step behind you!”
After a moment of silence, Yolanda York said this astonishing statement, but everyone present couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
“You flatter me.” David Jones shook his head, then looked at his teammates.
“I have a suggestion. In the next month, after military training, if we have time, we can come here to refine elixirs together and exchange some alchemy techniques with each other. What do you think?”
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Cecily Mansfield and Violet Cooper changed slightly.
Knowledge regarding alchemy techniques had already touched upon the taboo among alchemists, and if they were to disclose these, they would undoubtedly face severe punishment from their families.
“Don’t worry. We will only focus on key techniques in the alchemy process, and our exchanges won’t involve secret teachings and fire-control techniques.” David Jones noticed their reluctance and explained with a smile.
Every secret teaching and fire-control technique was a closely guarded secret of an alchemy family or sect, and even if they dared to teach them, David Jones, who was afraid of trouble, was not interested in learning.
In the end, David Jones had gathered his teammates for the elixir souls they produced during alchemy, and the alchemy techniques were just bait he had deliberately thrown out.
“I agree!”
Yolanda York was the first to voice her agreement.
As the saying goes, ‘whoever is near vermilion will be stained red, and whoever is near ink will be stained black.’ Perhaps this monstrously talented captain could help her pharmacy skills grow even faster!
It wasn’t just Yolanda York who had this idea; the rest of the teammates all expressed that this was a good idea.
The beginning is always difficult, but seeing that his teammates had successfully taken the bait, David Jones gave a slight smile.
It seemed that the source of elixir souls for his own cultivation of the Spirit Eye and Pure Flames had finally been settled!
