Chapter 418 Contradictory

Elysande and Alvertos glanced at the sudden arrival of Yavia with slight surprise. They hadn't expected Adam to have her as his assistant.

Although they were curious about the type of spirit that Yavia was, neither of them asked Adam about it.

At this point, they didn't even wish to talk to this scammer who was taking advantage of them. They didn't even want to be in the same room as him.

But they were helpless.

"Yavia, sanitize the workstation and ensure no contamination will affect our process," said Adam as he walked toward the caldron and activated the flame runic formation.

"Fine," Yavia grumbled, but she still obliged.

She hovered above the table and waved a simple hand gesture. Then, she thrust her palms downward, causing a ripple of green energy to descend on the workstation.

When this energy wave touched the table as well as the ingredients kept on it, they were all decontaminated.

Seeing such a potent level of purification spell materializing from a simple wave of Yavia's hands, Elysande was moved.

She couldn't help but ask, "Spirit, what race are you?"

Yavia glanced at her with narrowed eyes. "Why must I answer you, human?"

Elysande didn't mind her rude behavior. Or perhaps she did but didn't show it. It was well-known that creatures of the spirit world didn't get along well with those of the material world.

Except for summoners—magi who majored in the School of Summoning—who were proficient at interpersonal and communication skills, they had methods to befriend spirits.

Of course, their relationship was more often than not always transactional.

"Yavia, what're you doing? Get to work already!" Adam called out to her as he poured the mana-infused water from the sacred spring into the cauldron.

"Separate the moonlight herb in 2-1-1 sequence and vitalize it," he added.

"Okay!" Yavia quickly did as told but not before casting a contemptuous look at the two magi standing before her.

"Oh! It's much brighter than I expected!" Yavia marveled.

"Don't get distracted. This process must be done with the utmost care," Adam lightly scolded. "Chant a purification incantation and apply it to the resin's essence."

"Understood!" Yavia spoke solemnly.

She glanced at the orange, almost red, resin in her hands and spoke in an ancient language native to her village in the spirit world.

The resin was soon enveloped in a mysterious aura and shone with an otherworldly light.

Knowing that the time was right, Adam hurriedly instructed, "Crush the resin and pour the essence inside."

Seeing the two work so efficiently, Elysande was at a loss for words. It was truly a sight to behold watching the two concoct a potion.

But what truly surprised her was the way Adam guided the little wood spirit.

For someone with such an avaricious nature, he sure is generous with teaching his herbalism methods and techniques, She thought to herself incredulously. What a contradictory man!

Especially considering that most herbalists would consider their techniques and methods to be priceless, something that money couldn't buy.

Once the sun-kissed resin was added to the mix, the potion lit up with an even more resplendent light. Adam gave out pointers from time to time as Yavia continued to nod, thoroughly soaking in all the knowledge.

The final step involved Adam casting a minor freezing spell and covering the cauldron with a thin layer of ice. The warm potion inside the cauldron gradually cooled down until it was finally ready.

Adam poured the potion into a glass vial and sealed the mouth with a layer of wax to preserve its potency.

He glanced at the two magi and nodded, "Alright, the first potion is over." His eyes flashed with a mischievous glint as he prepared to throw the vial. "Here, catch!"

Elysande and Alvertos couldn't help but panic, especially the latter. Although they were sure to catch the vial, there was always that scenario of 'what if.'

Not to mention, the potion was extremely important to them.

However, the vial they were hoping to catch never arrived. It was still firmly grasped in Adam's palm.

He glanced at the dumbfounded expressions of the two magi and chuckled, "Just kidding!"
