Chapter 261: Chapter 255: Elixir of Star Cleansing

All the buildings within Mountain Blacksmoke leaned towards a black color, even the Alchemy Chamber deep underground, made of Fiery Stone with strong fire resistance, was no exception.
Following Elder Sister Audrey, David Jones just entered the Alchemy Hall and saw Alchemy Chambers of the same size all around, emitting a faint fluorescence.
Unlike the suitable environment outside, the temperature inside the Alchemy Hall was extremely high, even with a hazy white smoke pervading the area.
Seeing curiosity on David’s face, Audrey explained, “Deep in the Blacksmoke Mountains, there is a spread of mysterious and deadly underground fire. The mysterious smoke is the mist of ghostly fire brought into the Alchemy Chamber by Grau using the underground fire.”
“This ghost fire mist can increase the cultivation speed of Fire-Type pets and the success rate of Pharmacists in Alchemy. One thing to note is that before your pet’s cultivation reaches Class VI King, it’s best not to let it practice here for long periods. Otherwise, it might be easily attracted by the ghost fire mist and even become obsessed with it.”
Upon hearing this, David felt a shiver and subconsciously looked down at
Rainbow on his wrist.
“Yi.” (0-w- ) (No problem.)
Rainbow shook her head, feeling that everything was normal.
“This ghost fire mist will only cause Fire-Type pets to become addicted.
Pharmacists and other Type pets will not be affected,” Audrey explained as they walked.
She then walked to a black stone door, placed her white palm against it, and the sealed Alchemy Chamber automatically opened.
However, at this moment, David’s gaze was caught by a huge cauldron resembling a red crystal in the adjacent chamber.
“Ghastly Black Cauldron”: Class VII Arcane Implement, an Epic Elixir cauldron, forged entirely of Blackstar Meteorite, transformed through the burning and metamorphosis of the mysterious and deadly underground fire. Only Pharmacists with the mysterious and deadly underground fire could use it.
Good heavens, this was an Epic Elixir Cauldron!
And unlike the Alchemy Chamber that Audrey opened, this chamber, which had never been closed, was covered by a purple-black Lava Stream, and there was no place for Pharmacists to stand.
“That’s Grau’s cauldron,” Gabrielle Pansy said enviously when she saw David staring closely at the “Ghastly Black Cauldron.
“Is Grau also a Grandmaster Pharmacist?” David asked curiously.
One must understand that becoming a Grandmaster Pharmacist was extremely difficult even for a human Strong One, let alone a greedy, combative, and power-worshipping Five-Colored Dragon. This had to be a miracle.
Gabrielle Pansy had a strange expression on her face: “Well, almost.”
“So, he’s really a Grandmaster Pharmacist!!!”
David had an unbelievable expression on his face.
With three Grandmasters in one department, wouldn’t he be able to walk sideways in the future, considering the prestige of Pharmacists in the Flowery Kingdom?
“Well,” Gabrielle Pansy laughed, “compared to being a Grandmaster Pharmacist, perhaps being a Grandmaster Poison Master would be more appropriate.”
“Poison Master?”
“Yes, Junior Grau only refines toxic elixirs, and can refine the highest Class VII toxic elixir, but is unable to refine other types of elixirs, even the Class IV Star-Refining Elixir,” Audrey explained.
David: ”???”
This was too specialized!
Logically speaking, a Pharmacist who can refine a Class VII toxic elixir should find refining Class VI elixirs as easy as snapping his fingers.
“Alright, there’s not much time. Junior brother, you can begin Alchemy now. It’s best to refine the elixir you are most confident in and of the highest grade, Audrey said, standing aside and pointing at the white jade cauldron in the room.
“Alright.”
David Jones nodded, and the light in the Star Ring flashed for a moment. Daphne, who looked like a snow-white ball, appeared in front of him. Daphne’s pink nose twitched slightly as her eyes, which resembled blue and red gemstones, looked at the surrounding creeping ghost fire mist. Her face couldn’t help but reveal a look of being entranced.
“Mew!”(—V—)~*(So fragrant!)
“A Class II high-rank Titanium Ragdoll can only stay here for a maximum of three days, or else it will become addicted to the ghost fire mist,” Audrey said with a natural expression.
It was Elder Sister Qu, on the other hand, whose eyes lit up when she looked at Daphne and showed a hint of surprise and liking.
Alchemy is something that requires complete focus.
David’s expression turned serious. Instead of starting the alchemy, he first closed his eyes and meditated to adjust his state to its optimum condition.
This time, he intended to refine an S tier Class III elixir: Star-Cleansing Elixir. As an advanced elixir for the Star-forging Elixir, the Star-Cleansing Elixir can only be refined successfully by pharmacists at the Flare III late-stage or above. Logically, David, who had just stepped into the Flare III stage of pharmacists, should not have any chance of success, but the previously awakened Illusion-Piercing Eye had given him full confidence.
Unlike other Class I and II elixirs, if David managed to successfully refine the Star-Cleansing Elixir, not only could he repay Margaret’s debt in a short time, but he could also absorb a large number of Pet Resources.
Even if he failed in the end, gaining the guidance of a Grandmaster pharmacist on the Star-Cleansing Elixir would still be a stroke of luck.
David’s Star Ring shined, and dozens of medicinal materials suddenly floated in midair.
■■Star-Cleansing Grass, Evergreen Leaf, Dark Orchid, Bamboo Lotus… these are all the medicinal materials needed for the Star-Cleansing Elixir. Could it be that David actually has confidence?”
Audrey looked at the floating materials not far away, and although her face did not reveal any unusual expression, her heart had already set off massive waves. To be honest, she wasn’t interested in battles; she loved being a pharmacist, which was why she readily admitted that she was not as strong as Grau. Therefore, even when David won first place in the ranking match, she was just a little surprised.
However, it was not until this moment that she truly understood what a monstrous genius was.
As a professor in the Pharmacy Department of Rosewood College, Audrey saw talented individuals from all over the Flowery Kingdom’s provinces each year, so seeing geniuses was no longer a novelty.
But she had never seen someone like David, who was 19 years old, Arcane Star Class III Apex, and potentially a pharmacist at the Flare III late-stage or above. “An interesting junior!” Audrey’s face revealed a charming smile.
Unlike her previously formulaic responses, she now took an interest in David. If David could successfully refine the Star-Cleansing Elixir, it would mean that his talent in alchemy was equal to or even better than hers.
“Three Grandmasters in one school doesn’t sound bad. Perhaps a Great Grandmaster of alchemy will even appear in the future.” Audrey’s smile became even more enchanting.
In her opinion, Grau, who could only refine poisonous elixirs, could not be considered a true Grandmaster pharmacist.
On the other side, Gabrielle Pansy, who also noticed this point, stared intently at David.
Gazing at his handsome face, her eyes suddenly became somewhat heated..
