Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 134: 134: Basic Pill Concoction

On the way to the room, Shu and the other members of team seven who had just transformed into Destiny greeted Caleb.

"Well, it's your turn, ain't it? Good luck!" Kazuto cheered

Shu gave Caleb a serious look.

"Johan, I must warn you. You have to always keep your gaze on the Destiny Stone. If not, you would fail instantly because it would disrupt your concoction process."

On the other hand, Kidd and Rozho just nodded at him. Caleb smiled at the four. Although they had just known each other for three months. He has a good relationship with them. After all, they would become an official team soon.

"Thanks. Don't worry, I got it." Caleb nodded at them before he entered the door. As he took his first step, he couldn't help but feel his pounding heart. He was about to become a Destiny!

"You're finally here. You are always the last one."

Caleb heard David's voice. When he turned around, he saw David floating in the void. It was the first time that Caleb saw another person perform something supernatural. 'Damn... Is that kind of ability?'

"The ones who are always last will always be the first. While the one who always seeks to be first would become the last."

"Nice quote. But it doesn't make sense." David said.

'Well, I'm just spouting bullshit.' Caleb scanned the room he found himself in.

The small room was a stark and somber space. Its stone walls, devoid of any decoration or adornment, created an atmosphere of bleakness.

The absence of objects in sight added to the room's desolation, leaving it eerily empty. The feeble light that filtered in through a lone, small window barely penetrated the room, casting uneven shadows that only added to the gloomy atmosphere.

The monotonous gray of the stone walls seemed to weigh on the room, enveloping it in a sense of oppressive uniformity. It was a place where time stood still, and the silence hung heavy in the air, making the room feel like a forgotten corner of the world.

'What a weird atmosphere.'

"Well, let's start. There's only you and me here, so let me be straightforward." David opened his right palm, revealing a sphere-shaped black stone. "I don't like that you chose Shadow Path. Do you want to know why?"

"Because it's incomplete?" With a nonchalant attitude, Caleb answered.

"No. It's because taking this path is a self-destruction. However, I won't explain it to you. You're a stubborn guy. I know I can't convince you any longer. You're walking a Deviant Path." With a profound look, David raised his hand, and the black stone floated in the air as he did so.

'Deviant path?' Caleb became thoughtful.

Why would Shadow Path considered a Deviant one? He knew that a "deviant path" typically refers to a course of action or behavior that deviates from societal norms or accepted standards. In other words, it involves actions or choices that are considered outside the boundaries of what is considered morally, socially, or legally acceptable.

'Is it Deviant because of how powerful it is? The ruling class doesn't want someone to become too strong, do they?' He guessed the truth in an instant.

"Well, these are the materials that you would need to create a pill. Now, just looked at the black stone... Remember, to not stray away your eyes from it. Secondly, I won't be responsible if you fail. And finally, you should pay attention to the procedure."

"Understood..." Caleb nodded. He actually felt a relief, as David didn't do anything foul to him. Thinking of this, he firmed his heart and raised his head. He mobilized his spirit attribute. With full concentration, he looked at the black stone intently.

Thanks to his high spirit attribute, he has better learning speed, comprehension, memory, and focus than others. As his gaze landed on the black stone. He felt a familiar sensation on his head. It was the same as what he felt when he was receiving the memory of the bodies he took in.

Due to a similar experience. He didn't feel uncomfortable and immediately analyzed the content of the information that his mind received.

'What... This brat is actually okay?' David looked at Caleb in confusion. He had expected the latter's expression to contort due to the pain of receiving vast information just like the previous recruits. Even Gojo and Shu showed obvious signs of discomfort. Those are the two that he thinks would make it far.

David couldn't help but swallow. 'Incredible!'

He could see the east which Johan was in. The other didn't even frown once. Instead, he was just leisurely looking at the floating black stone in the air.

Caleb didn't know what David was thinking. However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After all, he was in a crucial moment.

'Mix the water of Jordan to the tusk of Heinum? The fuck? Stir the two for two minutes??'

Just like that, five minutes passed with Caleb mixing a variety of Apokalips materials and herbs such as sunflower flame, water-cleansing grass, and so on... Then he brought the ingredient to the furnace and placed it in the middle of a star formation carefully while his eyes hadn't left the black stone.

Such arduous multitasking might be hard for others. But to him, who has a powerful spirit, it was nothing but a breeze. Still, he wondered how the others before him had struggled to do what he was currently doing. Find more chapters on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

What he didn't know... David helped the others before him. Handing to them the materials and even giving them tips.

'What the fuck!? Is this kid for real?'

David stared at Johan multi-tasked and accomplished things without his help. Actually, the reason why he was here was to help the recruits. He was just displeased at Johan, that's why he didn't intend to help. Who knew that Johan could do just fine? As if the other party has eyes all around his body.

Ten minutes passed, and Caleb controlled the temperature and flames within the furnace with great precision, thanks to his spirit. Different pills require specific levels of heat and duration of exposure to fire, and this control is crucial to the success of the concoction. Thankfully, the pill he was concocting didn't need one to become skilled in controlling the flame. Even a beginner would do just fine.

Then, the ingredients began to break down, releasing their essences, and then started fusing together within the furnace. The scene of the medicinal herbs made Caleb almost sneeze. A strong fluctuation appeared around him and the furnace. He knew he was at a critical point.
