"What are you doing here?"
Zia watched Eren, who was standing in front of a closed cauldron, looking like he was lost in thought.
"Hmm? Why are you here?" Eren came to his senses and turned around. "Ah right, what a silly question. This is also your place."
"Anyways, I am done here. I will take my leave." Eren went past Zia and left the room. "You can have the room."
"Alchemy isn't a child's play. Since you helped me with what I needed, I will let you go. But next time, I won't allow you to play around and waste rare herbs," Zia reminded Eren, who was walking away.
She assumed that Eren had already used the herbs and ruined them. It was impossible for him to use the sixth-grade herbs successfully, after all.
If it was someone else wasting a sixth-grade herb, she would have been even more upset. But it was him, so she only gave him a reminder.
"Best of luck for reaching the eighth realm, my dear disciple."
Eren waved his hand as he walked away, realizing that he was annoying the young girl. But sometimes, he found it fun to tease this grown up childish elder.
"You!" Zia clenched her fist before taking a deep breath to calm herself. "He is such a child."
....
The Frost Demon arrived at the entrance of the Alchemy Hall.
"Please wait, Elder. May we ask your identity first?" The Guards stopped Elder Li, who was also known as the Frost Demon.
"My identity? Whatever. I am Elder Li from the 7th Peak," the Frost Demon answered.
In response, the two guards looked at each other before bursting into laughter.
"Elder, Please be honest. Who are you? If you aren't honest, we can't allow you inside."
"What do you mean I have to be honest? I am Elder Li. Why would I pretend to be someone else?"
The Frost Demon would have flipped in anger by now if it was another place, but this place was the Alchemy Hall. He behaved himself.
"Who used this from before Elder Ren?"
"Before him? I don't think anyone used this room. It was empty the entire time. Did he do something?" The Alchemy Hall Manager cautiously answered.
"Only he was here? That means this was done by him as well?"
Zia placed the residue of the pill on her lips.
"This is incredible! This is from a High Tier Seventh Grade Consciousness Elevation Pill! It doesn't make sense at all! Only top Seventh Grade Alchemists or higher can make something like this with only sixth grade herbs!"
Although she could also make this pill, she couldn't do it with only the sixth grade materials. Even if she tried, the grade of the pill could lower.
"Just what is he?"
She had looked down on Eren. For her, he was a child who was only here to play around with herbs. So how could he make a High Tier Seventh Grade Pill with lower grade herbs?
Was he really a novice? No! This wasn't something that could be done by a novice. If someone without experience and knowledge even tried, the entire cauldron could explode.
She also couldn't see any waste in the room. It was clear that Eren had succeeded in just one try.
"A High Ranking Seventh Tier Alchemy Grandmaster?"
"Did Elder Ren do something wrong?" Alchemy Hall Master asked. If that was the case, she could also be punished since she sent him here.
"It's nothing. Just remember one thing! Never mention to anyone that Elder Ren was here, or anything related to him. Also, remove him from the blacklist."
Great Elder Zia walked over to the corner of the Alchemy Hall where a recording crystal was kept.
She took the recording crystal and left the room after keeping the Cauldron used by Eren in her storage ring.
"I am leaving. I don't want anyone to disturb me, so handle everything in the Alchemy Hall in my absence."
Zia left the room and quickly rushed out of the Alchemy Hall. While leaving the Alchemy Hall, she saw an Elder almost attacking her guards, fuming in anger.
"Fighting before the Alchemy Hall? Who gave you such courage?" The child-like Great Elder came to a sudden halt.
