Chapter 367: A tour through their new house. Transmutation.

The mansion was expansive and luxurious. It wasn't made of the best materials but had a welcoming and refreshing ambiance. The brown furniture, wooden floor, and stony walls gave it a rustic feeling that allowed for comfort.

After walking through the door, there was a hall with stairs on the far right. There were three doors, one at the left, one at the right, and another in the front.

The door on the left guided them to a passageway that had opened windows on the left side and three white wooden doors on the right. Opening those rooms, they found them out to be guest rooms.

If you followed the hallway, you had one door that sent you to the back garden and another that guided you to the living room. The middle door in the entry hall also headed toward the living room.

It was very wide, and the back wall was made of panoramic windows that opened to the back garden. Through it, they could see a curious Sierra inspecting the rear garden and curiously sniffing around.

Sierra felt their gazes and looked through the panoramic windows at the smiling girls. Thankfully, she had a furry head, or her embarrassment would show on her face. She straightened and walked away elegantly to inspect other places.

They giggled at her antics and looked around the living room. It had three large couches. Two of them were in the middle of the living room, surrounding a rectangular table made of thick wood. The other faced the large transparent panoramic window. The couches were a wine red and looked very comfortable.

Besides this, there was also a hearth with four chairs. The walls were decorated with various paintings and two ample cupboards.

It was very nice and comfy.

They followed to the next door and found the dining room. There was a wide table with almost twenty chairs. There were windows to allow natural light in, and the walls were a comfortable yellow. There were three cabinets with diverse tableware.

Following to the other side of the dining room, there was the kitchen separated by a small hallway that made a ninety-degree turn.

Yasenia observed the kitchen and nodded. "Not bad. I can work with this space."

Evelyn asked, "Can you cook with your form?"

Yasenia shook her head. "I don't know, I probably can't, but I will once I can become human-like again."

They felt it was a shame, but they just nodded.

They did another lap around and saw two bathrooms on this floor—one with a place to bath, the other with three separate toilets.

One of the toilets was a hole in the ground, probably for species that couldn't use a human-like toilet. Not that our girls needed it, but who knew if their guests would need it one day?

After that, they explored the second floor.

It was where the multiple bedrooms were. In total, they counted seven with a main bedroom bigger than the others. The rooms were similar, with a bed that took up almost sixty percent of the room, a wardrobe, a window, and a toilet. Beside the bed was a lamp fueled by special oil and a bedside table.

Yasenia said. "I have the better beds and furniture in general, but let's try to use these. They look comfortable enough. Moreover, I bet all of you will just use the bed in the master bedroom."

They looked at Yasenia with faces that said. "You are speaking the obvious."

They had their dear dragoness close. How could they sleep in a bedroom separated from hers?

Yasenia shook her head with a smile and walked up the stairs toward the final floor.

Tatyana also didn't speak. She wouldn't help them with anything unless they were on a very incorrect path.

She was here as a spectator that would interfere when things went south.

Even if she wanted to, her current body was not that strong, so she couldn't turn the world around and save them from everything.

She was here just to accompany Yasenia on her adventures. Seeing the melted expression on her daughter's dragon face, she leaned down and kissed its lips softly from time to time, making the dragoness drift further into the pleasant realm.

Meanwhile, as Tatyana pampered Yasenia, Cecile spoke. "How about we use one of our highest items to participate in an auction and gain their attention? We could also open our own shop."

Andrea felt that it was a good idea. "We can also create the illusion of being a hidden power thanks to our strength and exoticness. In this Continent, strong humans and complete beasts seem to be scarce."

Evelyn took one of Yasenia's hind legs and massaged it by moving the claws and relaxing the muscles. "Which item do we use? One of the Transcendent level items Yasenia found? Some of them seem somewhat useless... Ah, forget what I said. They are Transcendent items, so we might be unable to guess their functions."

Tatyana asked, curious. "What items did you get?"

Kali used her hands to slowly massage Yasenia's second half of the tail as she said. "The cauldron I have is strangely not appropriate for alchemy. Tatyana, do you know what this is for?"

Then, she outstretched one of her hands and summoned the [Earth Refining Cauldron].

Tatyana observed the item that floated on Kali's hand, and her red eyes shone with interest. "Interesting."

They all were surprised. To make this Experienced Death Empress feel surprised about an item, the item must be excellent.

Tatyana looked at Kali and said. "This item can be used for alchemy. And it's a suitable cauldron for that. You must have used the Sky Continent's alchemy method, right?"

Kali nodded. Tatyana explained, "You have to use the alchemy method you learned in the place where you got it. Did you learn it?"

Kali nodded again. "It's very similar; thus, I could learn it almost instantly. I just had to adjust some things. Even then, the order of doing it is different. Instead of purifying the ingredients, heating the cauldron, and then slowly burning the essence to create fumes and compress them into a pill, Lost Town's method directly purifies the herbs inside the cauldron."

Kali frowned. "It's less refined and more brutish, but I can see the benefits of being able to mix everything faster. The difficulty is greater, but I can manage to do it. However, I thought the Sky Continent method was better, so I haven't used this cauldron with that method yet."

Tatyana didn't stop pampering Yasenia and answered, "Well, you are not wrong. It is certainly rougher of a method. Nevertheless, that cauldron aids by purifying the elements while doing it. If you purify it outside and then use the cauldron, you are basically purifying the effects and special qualities the second time."

They nodded, understanding why the results would be and. However, such a simple extra option wouldn't have made Tatyana say "interesting."

Tatyana didn't keep them guessing as she did other times and explained the function that attracted her so much. "That cauldron is special because it can be used for a lost practice: Transmutation."

They all frowned and asked, "What's that?"

Surprisingly, Yasenia opened her mental channel and spoke, "It is the art of transforming a material into another, more specifically, altering its structure to a basic level. You can turn dirt into gold, or the most common use, perfecting the structure of a piece of metal, herb, or any other material you have. It's another form of alchemy, in a way. The most widespread alchemy is medicinal alchemy, but Transmutation is the general alchemy. Of course, it has its limits."

Yasenia turned her head to look at the cauldron and smiled, "We hit the real jackpot with this one. The fact that it is a Transcendent ranked treasure means it can alter up to Transcendent rank materials. Moreover, those materials below its limits have a chance to increase in level. Just with this short explanation, you can already guess its value, right?"

They all opened their eyes widely, stunned at the revelation.
