Chapter 598 Synthetizing The Elixir 1
-----
After having breakfast downstairs, I finally was able to start my creation of an Elixir, and what better than with my friends? Celeste and Aquarina are very good at Alchemy themselves, so I was rather confident they could help me out in making some amazing Elixir. We've had all the ingredients sorted out now, and Nephi was right behind us supervising things… for some reason. Zack and Mist were playing in the backyard while we were in my workshop, a small hut behind the manor where I left my cauldron and every little thing I used for Alchemy or Crafting.
Aquarina and Celeste were there as I took out all the ingredients we were using. I had already butchered the meat and bones alongside the magic crystal of the Tyrant Lions, and we were also going to use the Life Attribute Spirit Stones I farmed from the Ancient God Ruins. The room where Nephi's egg was located was filled with these crystals. She explained to me that her life force ended creating them over thousands of years since she was sealed there.
…Which is sad to think about, but we moved on from that thought as well.
"Is she going to stick with us all the time now?" Wondered Aquarina.
"Come on Aquarina, don't be unfriendly now!" I reprimanded her. "I thought you had changed from that personality trait you had…" I sighed, crossing my arms
Her eyes quickly panicked a bit.
"N-No! I changed! Really! Don't get mad with me…" She held my hand while looking at me with puppy eyes. "I've changed! S-So it's okay… I guess."
I could tell she was forcing herself to be nice, but honestly, it is way better than just not being nice at all. She's just slightly jealous of others and has a hard time getting used to people, but she has grown too and eventually accepted Zack back then, and now Celeste and Mist as well.
"Nephi, come here." I called her here.
"Yes?" She wondered.
"I know we just meet you yesterday but from now on I think you'll be sticking with us forever so… I hope you can get along with Aquarina." I smiled back at her.
"Sure…" Nephi seemed confused, looking at Aquarina. "I hope we can get along, Aquarina."
"Y-Yeah, likewise…" Aquarina shook Nephi's hand.
Yeah, that's what I wanted to see!
Everyone's a friend here, no fights.
"Heh, you really got a grip on her." Laughed Celeste in the back.
"A-Anyways, let's check the materials before starting!" I said, quickly changing the topic.
Aquarina composed herself rather quickly after what she… experienced, as she and Celeste glanced at the several material I brought out of my Dimensional Bag.
"Tyrant Tiger King's Magic Crystal, Bones, and Pelt. Especially this one big fang, it has a lot of life essence. And then the Life Spirit Stones, this much is fine. Afterwards, the Emerald Crystal Wood for good measure, and then the Delphiro Herbs, tons of it… Lastly, the bottle of Spring Water, aaaand, Naturia's Healing Leaves."
I slowly began merging all the ingredients inside the Cauldron. Aquarina and Celeste helped me as well, as they administrated the ingredients after my commands, while all three of us used [Synthesis] so we could get the strongest and best result.
The process of Alchemy was one of constantly extracting, mixing, and fusing the very essence of materials. Slowly, like cooking, it was a gradual process with several steps. And of course, thanks to my amazing Alchemy Skill and my Alchemist Subclass, things were even easier, as long as I proposed myself to do them!

The three abilities within the Alchemy Skill were also Alchemy Magic Spells. When I merged their activation with the spells, and then the spells of Celeste and Aquarina, the result was an even stronger effect.
First the Tyrant Tiger's materials were added with their blood as well. I used Extraction to extract their primary life element, while using Metamorphosis to transform the extracted materials into a liquid form. Bones, the fang, and even the crystal were all turned into a liquid.
After that, we used Mixing and Brewing to combine them with Delphiro Herbs and Naturia's leaves. Doing the same Extracting and Metamorphosis process, and finishing it off by Synthesizing everything together into a beautiful red-colored liquid.
However, this was merely the [Elixir Base] that my mother taught to me, which was only the first step before making the actual Elixir…
FLAAASH!
Yet, even if it was just the Elixir Base, its beauty and shiny splendor were awe-inspiring to the three of us. Even Nephi in the background was surprised as she saw the mystical liquid being made. However, it wasn't done yet.
"An Elixir Base! We actually made it…" Celeste was surprised.
"Hahh… The whole process was so delicate, I was so nervous the materials would end up breaking apart or their synthesizing process would fail midway through…" Aquarina sighed in relief.
"Here, eat some of Naturia's leaves to restore your stamina and mental exhaustion, we'll need them for the rest of the Elixir's creation…" I smiled, eating a leaf as I grabbed the shiny, golden-colored Life Spirit Stones.
