ze Regret took the prescription, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his voice, tinged with surprise, slowly emerged.
"Purple Fire Pill?"
Ahmad Kamal''s throat rolled as he stared incredulously at the prescription in ze Regret''s hand, feeling deeply shaken.
The Purple Fire Pill is one of the most difficult first grade pills to refine. Its price rivals that of Earth me Pills and other such elixirs. The rarity isn''t due to its ingredients but rather its astonishing effects!
Among first grade pills, each has different effects. Some can directly elevate the rank of spirit beasts, some can heal them, and some can enhance a spirit master''s spiritual power. The Purple Fire Pill, however, can elevate the rank of an novice level fire attribute spirit beast by an entire grade!
"He actually showed the prescription to ze Regret directly?"
Ahmad Kamal''s breathing became heavy. If it weren''t for Park Lily''s esteemed status as the exclusive alchemist for the As Trading Company, he would have already taken drastic measures. Everyone knew how valuable a prescription was to an alchemist, and yet Park Lily dared to hand it over to ze Regret without reservation!
"This pill is indeed quite troublesome," ze Regret said, massaging his forehead. He then looked at Park Lily, whose body had instantly tensed up, and chuckled lightly. "But it''s not overly difficult."
"Utter nonsense!" Ahmad Kamal scoffed angrily. "You''re an outsider pretending to be an expert. Do you even understand what a Purple Fire Pill, which elevates the rank of spirit beasts, means? Even I wouldn''t im to be able to refine it. Where do you get the confidence to say it isn''t difficult?"
As he looked at the calm expression on ze Regret''s face, Kartis Kai suddenly felt a twinge of unease. Could this guy really be an alchemist? But a sixteen year old alchemist? How could that be possible!
Just as Park Lily was about to reprimand Ahmad Kamal, ze Regret waved his hand and smiled faintly. "Ahmad Kamal, your intelligence is reallycking. If I didn''t have the ability to refine this pill, do you think Master Park Lily would personallye to ask me?"
Park Lily''s eyes shed with gratitude. ze Regret had used the word "ask" instead of "seek advice," respecting the pride and dignity that alchemists held dear.
"Who knows what got into that old man''s head. Maybe his brain really got fried from all the alchemist," Ahmad Kamal muttered. Despite sensing something amiss, his attitude remained defiant. Even if ze Regret was an alchemist, Ahmad Kamal refused to believe he could sessfully refine the Purple Fire Pill.
"Stubborn as a mule," ze Regret shook his head andughed softly. "Master Park Lily, please prepare two sets of materials for refining this pill. Second Elder, spread the word. This afternoon, I will open the cauldron and refine the pill in front of the ze family''s main gate."
Upon hearing this, Park Lily''s eyes were filled with intense joy, while ze Peter felt a bit dizzy. When did this little guy in his eyes be an alchemist?
"Two sets, indeed an amateur," Ahmad kamalughed loudly.
Even an alchemist who had sessfully refined the Purple Fire Pill before wouldn''t dare to guarantee a high sess rate on subsequent attempts. For a pill of thisplexity, even five sets of materials might not yield a single pill, yet ze Regret nned to prepare only two sets?
"ze Regret, aren''t you being a bit too hasty?" Park Lily asked cautiously.
"Two sets are enough," ze Regret said, holding the prescription as he slowly walked out of the hall,pletely ignoring the numerous eyes gathering behind him.
"ze Ash, are you really going to spread the news?" ze Peter looked at ze Ash with a wry smile. If ze Regret failed, it would undoubtedly be a severe blow to the ze family. But if he seeded...
How could he possibly seed?
Ahmad Kamal and Kartis Kai sat on their chairs, eyes slightly closed, full of disdain. This afternoon, they eagerly awaited ze Regret''s embarrassment.
"Whoosh!"
ze Ash stretched out his hand, and a suction force brought the notebook ze Regret had thrown earlier back into his grasp. He then tossed it to ze Peter. "Inform all the families on the list. Oh, and invite Mark from the As Trading Company as well. He borrowed a hundred thousand gold coins from mest night in a personal capacity; let''s invite him too."
"Got it!"
After a moment of hesitation, ze Peter nodded firmly and turned to walk out of the hall, summoning several young n members with a wave of his hand.
That day, countless families in Veloria City received the news immediately: ze Ash''s son, ze Regret, was going to publicly refine a pill at the ze family''s gate!
In an instant, the entire city was in an uproar.
"Master Sun, what do you think about this matter?"
After sending off the messenger from the ze family, Pan Kan, the head of the Pan family, slightly tilted his head and looked at a middle aged man sitting and drinking tea. He spoke in a deep voice.
The middle aged man was Sun Mek, the current head of the Sun family. Although his family''s wealth wasn''t as great as the ze family''s, they were still quite well known in Veloria City.
Gently cing down his teacup, Sun Mek couldn''t help but smile. "It''s just a desperate struggle. If ze Regret was really an alchemist, how could we not have heard about it? Just wait, we''ll see the truth this afternoon."
"You''re right. Who knows what tricks ze Ash wille up with to buy time. Let''s see how the ze family embarrasses themselves this time." Pan Kan sneered, crumpling the paper in his hand into a ball.
In Veloria City, the Pan family, the Sun family, and the Bun family cooperated most frequently with the ze family. After the ze family encountered troubles, the other two naturally chose to defect and align with the Snow family.
"Master Bun, what is your decision?" Sun Mek looked at the only silent middle aged man in the room and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Bun Pitar, the head of the Bun family, shook his head with a bitter smile. During his most difficult times, it was ze Ash who had helped him, so no matter what, he wouldn''t kick the ze family when they were down.
