Chapter 692: Agi Pill


    An alchemist was someone that was able to concoct pills out of the ingredients provided. However, the level of mastery of an alchemist was determined by how pure the pill he or she concocted.


    "Why is there no demonstration this time?" asked one of the crowd.


    "If Renduval showed them how to do it, then they could do it as well?" answered another.


    "Is that an answer?"


    "It''s a guess."


    "Meh, fine I guess, I''ll take it."


    Meanwhile, on the field, the two rookies were palpitating without even making an effort to hide it. They were nervous to the neck. With no demonstration from the more experienced alchemist, getting a seventy percent and above purity would be a hard feat. However, Lyon was not.


    He was nonchnt as ever. His calmness brought certain confidence that couldn''t be thwarted by any being. Though everyone heard that the cauldron he was using was slightly cracked, he seemed not to be agitated nor worried. He had his arms crossed like he usually did and the duality smirk that was both obnoxious and charming.


    "Young friend is full of confident, but the perfect attitude of an alchemist was always, calm," said Tamuh. "Why didn''t you teach him that, Elise?"


    Elise furrowed her brows but said nothing. She had taught him nothing. She saw his soul me and she straight gave him her invitation scroll. (I was about to give him a pointer one or two today, but who would have thought that he would enter the test before I could give him one?). She had now learned how random Lyon was.


    "Well, let''s see how you fare with this one," said Mqa.


    "Is there a time limit?" Lyon asked.


    Mqa shook her head, "No, there is no time limit."


    "Right," Lyon nodded before he examined the ingredients. It was all nt-based—a root, a flower, and leaves. They all had a thin hue of mana surrounding them thus proving the quality of the ingredients.


    "Agi Pill," Lyon muttered as he nodded.


    "Here goes nothing!" said one of the rookies before he took the leaves first and plunged it into the dark pit that was his cauldron. He quickly fired up his soul me after putting it. The crowd was stunned, but the experts shook their heads.


    "Going for the leave first is a rookie mistake," said one alchemist in a gold cloak. "One must start from the oldest ingredients first to achieve proper bnce."


    Meanwhile, the other rookie took the root first and then plunged it inside the cauldron. The experts nodded as they saw him doing ording to their way.


    "That one most likely bes our newest member," said one expert with a smile.


    Renduval furrowed his brows as he looked at Lyon pondering. He couldn''t give him a pointer but his mind was shouting at him. (C''mon, pick up the root! The root! Lyon pick the root! No not the damn flower the root!).


    Lyon was picking up the flower before he could hear a few gasps from the crowd. He examined the flower carefully with his eyes before trying to identify the scent of it. He found nothing weird except for the growling Renduval on the side.


    Lyon shifted his nce slightly to Renduval only to find that thetter''s eyes were ring at him and challenged its sockets. (What the hell is he trying to say?).

    "Hm?" Mqa frowned as she squinted at Renduval who quickly looked away in response. "Hmm…"


    Lyon put down the flower before hearing a sigh of relief. Then, he picked up the leaves and hear the gasping again.


    Renduval''s eyes were bloodshot looking at Lyon. He couldn''t believe that he couldn''t take the obvious hint that he and the crowd were giving him.


    (You''re picking the wrong ingredient!) screamed Renduval inwardly as he red at Lyon. The itch in his throat was incredibly excruciating. He wanted to help but with Mqa constantly having her eyes on him, it was almost impossible.


    Lyon smiled, "Heh."


    With that single smirk, the atmosphere suddenly changed. He had be the nexus of attention inside the dome.


    "Oh, here ites," Kesya grinned.


    Lyon put down the leaves gently back on the tray with the rest of the ingredients. He closed his eyes and calmly took a deep audible breath.


    Cecile was on the edge and straightened her back. Her auburn eyes turned radiant as she saw his man bring out a charm that could severe a maiden''s heart.


    <em>*Crackle!</em>


    Instantaneous re was brought out. His burning white soul me crept up his arms before glorifying past his shoulders.


    "Woah!" The new spectators were awed. Words had spread and reality wasid upon their eyes.


    (Show off!) thought the two other rookies.


    Lyon picked up the root. The root was the oldest ingredient ording to experts amongst the spectators. They all nodded firmly as they saw the root entering the cauldron.


    However, the soul me was not being set under the cauldron just yet. This brought about furrowed eyebrows to the alchemists around.


    (What are you doing Lyon?!) thought Renduval as he heard the thud of the root hitting the base of the cauldron. (Set your me!) he tapped against the ground to signal him.


    (Tch! What is he waiting for?!) Elise bit the tip of her thumb.


    "Hmm," Tamuh squinted his eyes. He knew that Lyon would be able to set his soul me under the cauldron easily. (What is he nning).


    Everyone was clenching their fists but Lyon made the next move. He picked up another ingredient, the flower, and put it inside the cauldron.


    "What?" Mqa and the rest of the spectators were stupefied by his action. Taken back, but not a single person utter a tantint. The only thing that lingered was a question that they shared.


    Lyon was unfazed as he kept his smirk. He picked up thest ingredient, the leaves, and let them leaves dance their way inside the cauldron.


    "He put everything in…" Renduval muttered as his mouth gaped open.


    "What is he doing?"


    "What''s gotten into him?"


    "Is he going to purify them all at once? That''s…"


    Elder Mqa squinted her eyes. (The cauldron is cracked, what is he trying to do here? Purifying them at once is stupid but with a broken cauldron? That''s beyond). She took a few steps back before some of the spectators spent augh.


    However, Lyon was not intrigued by theirments. He was still confident. His eyes were looking down at the cauldron in front of him. Slowly but surely, the soul me began to fly out of his hands.


    Everyone gulped.


    The serenity of the flow that the zing soul me had was belying its character. It was calm and graceful, a tamed me. The absolute control of the soul me was on disy, none of the experts even Mqa could guess that it would happen. The rest of the rookies had their soul me jumped out of their hands and immediately fired up the cauldron, but Lyon was not.


    "The absolute emotion that an alchemy must-have during concocting is calmness," mutteredElise. "That is his calm, his eyes areser-focused!"


    "Alchemy is an art," muttered Cecile as she smiled. "And he is the artist."


    The beast of a me rest under the cauldron. Its res were higher than the cauldron itself. The great me of the soul was awed by many but he was not done yet.


    Lyon slowly raised his arms as the soul me raised over the cauldron and left the ce it should be.


    "Heh," Lyon''s eyes turned sharper than de before he mmed down his arms.


    The glorious soul me crashed down inside the cauldron and petrified the alchemists around.


    "Na?!" Tamuh had his eyes widened. "What is he doing?!"


    "Lyon! You…?!" eximed Renduval.


    Lyon answered none as he kept going. His hand were moving around and guided the soul me with his thought.


    Mqa opened her mouth and was intending to stop his act at once before something caught her eyes. "Huh?"


    She carefully approached the cauldron to see what was going on. Her eyes immediately widened. "What the…."


    The soul me made three spiraling vortexes inside the cauldron. The speed of their rotations differed from one another.


    "Prepare to catch," said Lyon with a smirk before he fused the three vortexes into one.


    Mqa raised her brows as the cauldron trembled greatly.


    "Look! The cauldron is hovering!" said Kesya, "That''s amazing! Go go go Emperor!"


    <em>*Puff!</em>


    The cauldron spat out an item clouded in smoke before Mqa quickly caught it with her hand.


    <em>*Thud</em>


    The cauldron fell with its four legs intact.


    The spectators gawked as silence filled in the dome.


    "Heh," Lyon crossed his arms before he turned around.


    <em>*Thock!</em>


    Lyon raised his brows. He could feel his hip hit something when he turned


    <em>*nk!</em>


    A part of the cauldron fell. It jig-sawed calmly under the silence of the dome.


    "Eh?" One of Lyon''s brows raised with his smile twitching.
