Rezen retrieved the pot he use when making potions and he filled half of it with water


    Heid his ingredients on the table where he ced the pot and to not waste the precious ingredients, only a single portion was left on the table


    The chances of Rezen seeding in creating his potions are still low. If he was unlucky, he has to try several or even ten times to create one potion. And even if he is lucky, it would still take him a few tries


    It was not umon for explosions to ur whenever the creation of a potion failed


    If explosions urred then that would ruin the ingredientsid on the table. Although Rezen has more than enough ingredients for his personal usage, it is still not good to waste them in that way


    After adjusting his mental state, Rezen ced his palm above the pot. Using simple magic, he boiled the water on the top


    The water soon bubbled and steam rose. With the aid of magic, it didn''tst long before the water reached the boiling point


    Doing this would burn at least a small portion of the water''s impurities


    After boiling the water, the supplementary ingredients floated in the air


    Alchemists generally are Spirit Mages and that is because in many cases, a strong soul is needed. Between Body Mages and Spirit Mages, thetter generally has the stronger and more refined soul


    On the tips of Rezen''s fingers, invisible threads of his soul power came out and the threads wrapped the supplementary ingredients for the mana elixir


    Soon, the ingredients were broken down at a speed visible to the eyes until only droplets of the ingredients'' essences remained


    These drops of essences although not a hundred percent pure are still very pure considering that the ingredients that Rezen has at the very least have 90% purity


    Using these kinds of Spirit nts, even the most untalented alchemists when they seed would be able to create potions with over 90% purity


    Now that Rezen has reached the Junior Rank, even the way he concocts potions has changed


    In the past, he would simply ce the ingredients on the pot and try to tear them as small as possible. But now that he is a Junior Mage and his soul is strong enough, he could easily extract the essences of the ingredients using his soul power


    Of course, this is only possible when using ingredients of this caliber. If Rezen were to be asked to extract the essence of a Spirit nt at the 4th cycle, even if he used all of his soul power, he still wouldn''t seed


    Rezen is already familiar with this initial step and he dropped the droplets into the pot before stirring the water with magic


    The water in the pot soon changes its color into gray but this is still far from being the mana elixir


    After taking care of the supplementary ingredients which was the easy part, Rezen turned his attention to the main ingredients. The first one is the vismian grass followed by the leaves of the Hedil nt


    With a wave of Rezen''s hand, a de of vismian grass floated in the air before being covered by his soul power threads


    The difficulty of only extracting the essence of the Vismian Grass is much harderpared to extracting the essences of the supplementary ingredients


    Rezen gave all of his focus to that single de of vismian grass but it really was not easy


    In the end, instead of extracting the essence, the vismian grass broke down and its essence turned into fog that wafted in the air before vanishing


    It was a failure on Rezen''s part but he is no stranger to failure when ites to alchemy. Without thinking about it that much, Rezen used another vismian grass followed by another. Finally, on his third try, Rezen seeded and he let the drop of essence continue to float in the air before turning his attention to the other main ingredient


    Rezen did the same thing to the leaves of hedil nt, and after some failure, he seeded in time


    Extracting the essence is hard but that is more so forbining them!


    The two drops of essences with Rezen''s control slowly met and they seems to be repelling each other. However, Rezen continues to use his soul power tobine the two


    If he simply drop the two different essences on the pot, the pot would definitely explode. As such, he has tobine the two first before dropping them in the pot<novelnext></novelnext>


    However, even when Rezen was doing his best, the end result was still a failure. In the end, the two essences exploded. Fortunately, Rezen was in time. He covered the essences with a barrier to contain the explosion and prevent it from destroying anything


    Even experienced and talented alchemists could fail in potion-making, what more for the newbie Rezen?


    This result didn''t make his heart feel heavy and Rezen just started redoing this step until he would seed


    ——-


    A flying ship could be seen in the sky, swimming with the clouds. This flying ship has the logo of a wand and a sword crossing each other


    The exterior was painted white and not even a speck of dirt could be seen


    On the deck of the ship, tens of people gathered and most of them were admiring the scenery of clouds


    It was not every day that they could ride on a flying ship and reach this high of an altitude. As such, many of them can''t help but admire the fantastic view


    These people are either wearing magic robes, heavy armor, light armor, leather armor, or more casual-looking clothes


    They are the mages from the City of Hope and they are given a mission. They are to convince the different tribes scattered in thends to join the City of Hope


    Of course, although Guardian''s order was to persuade and not force the tribes, these people might not listen to him although all of them respected and revered him


    This is because these people aremissioned by the Elders of the Guardian Council. They have to bring as many tribal people as possible. If they have to use force, they are permitted!


    The Guardian might not want to force the tribes but he could only turn a blind eye even if the tribes are forced


    This matter after all involves all the Elders of the Council. At most, he could punish the mages that received the mission while scolding the Elders. If the Guardian wants to heavily punish all the Elders, even for someone like him, that is impossible


    As such, in this recruitment mission, some people might bleed to death


    Standing on the railings of the ship, a particr mage could be seen. He is wearing an armor that would indicate that he is most likely a Body Mage but his left arm which should be made up of flesh and blood actually looks like a translucent blue arm


    This person is none other than Wermon. His battle against the Wicked Masks Beast costs him dearly


    The loss of a limb could still be made up by condensing his mana into the shape of an arm


    By doing so, at the very least, he would have a limb that could do what a normal arm could do


    However, the hole in his chest along with the more serious injuries on thest sh with the beast was an entirely different thing. It damaged his vitality greatly to the point that he was forced to retire as a Military Mage


    He was givenpensation but Wermon doesn''t want to be another useless retired soldier that are only mobilized when there was no other choice


    He still wishes to contribute greatly to the City of Hope and after learning about the Guardian''s n, he volunteered for this mission


    Many city people looked down on the members of the scattered tribes. They all think that those people are barbaric and ignorant


    In the City of Hope, society and etiquette are developed while the scattered tribes are still the same rough people that only care about food and safety, resulting in the discrimination


    However, while there are many people that despise the tribal people, there are still those that are neutral or would at least give them the respect that should normally be given to others. Wermon is one of them


    The Guardian''s life story is known basically to everyone in the City of Hope. In the past, there was no City of Hope. All humans lived in small to big tribes until the Guardian created the first and still only city of humans


    Since the Guardian is originally a person of a tribal society yet reached where he is now, are tribal people really as useless as many believed?


    Wermon doesn''t think so. Even though there is a very small chance, Wermon wishes to discover another talent from the small tribes reaching the level of the Guardian
