Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Alchemist in Public
Blaze Regret took the prescription, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his voice, tinged with surprise, slowly emerged.
"Purple Fire Pill?"
Ahmad Kamal's throat rolled as he stared incredulously at the prescription in Blaze Regret's hand, feeling deeply shaken.
The Purple Fire Pill is one of the most difficult first grade pills to refine. Its price rivals that of Earth Flame Pills and other such elixirs. The rarity isn't due to its ingredients but rather its astonishing effects!
Among first grade pills, each has different effects. Some can directly elevate the rank of spirit beasts, some can heal them, and some can enhance a spirit master's spiritual power. The Purple Fire Pill, however, can elevate the rank of an novice level fire attribute spirit beast by an entire grade!
"He actually showed the prescription to Blaze Regret directly?"
Ahmad Kamal's breathing became heavy. If it weren't for Park Lily's esteemed status as the exclusive alchemist for the Atlas Trading Company, he would have already taken drastic measures. Everyone knew how valuable a prescription was to an alchemist, and yet Park Lily dared to hand it over to Blaze Regret without reservation!
"This pill is indeed quite troublesome," Blaze Regret said, massaging his forehead. He then looked at Park Lily, whose body had instantly tensed up, and chuckled lightly. "But it's not overly difficult."
"Utter nonsense!" Ahmad Kamal scoffed angrily. "You're an outsider pretending to be an expert. Do you even understand what a Purple Fire Pill, which elevates the rank of spirit beasts, means? Even I wouldn't claim to be able to refine it. Where do you get the confidence to say it isn't difficult?"
As he looked at the calm expression on Blaze Regret's face, Kartis Kai suddenly felt a twinge of unease. Could this guy really be an alchemist? But a sixteen year old alchemist? How could that be possible!
Just as Park Lily was about to reprimand Ahmad Kamal, Blaze Regret waved his hand and smiled faintly. "Ahmad Kamal, your intelligence is really lacking. If I didn't have the ability to refine this pill, do you think Master Park Lily would personally come to ask me?"
Park Lily's eyes flashed with gratitude. Blaze Regret had used the word "ask" instead of "seek advice," respecting the pride and dignity that alchemists held dear.
"Who knows what got into that old man's head. Maybe his brain really got fried from all the alchemist," Ahmad Kamal muttered. Despite sensing something amiss, his attitude remained defiant. Even if Blaze Regret was an alchemist, Ahmad Kamal refused to believe he could successfully refine the Purple Fire Pill.
"Stubborn as a mule," Blaze Regret shook his head and laughed softly. "Master Park Lily, please prepare two sets of materials for refining this pill. Second Elder, spread the word. This afternoon, I will open the cauldron and refine the pill in front of the Blaze family's main gate."
Upon hearing this, Park Lily's eyes were filled with intense joy, while Blaze Peter felt a bit dizzy. When did this little guy in his eyes become an alchemist?
"Two sets, indeed an amateur," Ahmad kamal laughed loudly.
Even an alchemist who had successfully refined the Purple Fire Pill before wouldn't dare to guarantee a high success rate on subsequent attempts. For a pill of this complexity, even five sets of materials might not yield a single pill, yet Blaze Regret planned to prepare only two sets?
"Blaze Regret, aren't you being a bit too hasty?" Park Lily asked cautiously.
"Two sets are enough," Blaze Regret said, holding the prescription as he slowly walked out of the hall, completely ignoring the numerous eyes gathering behind him.
"Blaze Ash, are you really going to spread the news?" Blaze Peter looked at Blaze Ash with a wry smile. If Blaze Regret failed, it would undoubtedly be a severe blow to the Blaze family. But if he succeeded...
How could he possibly succeed?
Ahmad Kamal and Kartis Kai sat on their chairs, eyes slightly closed, full of disdain. This afternoon, they eagerly awaited Blaze Regret's embarrassment.
"Whoosh!"
Blaze Ash stretched out his hand, and a suction force brought the notebook Blaze Regret had thrown earlier back into his grasp. He then tossed it to Blaze Peter. "Inform all the families on the list. Oh, and invite Mark from the Atlas Trading Company as well. He borrowed a hundred thousand gold coins from me last night in a personal capacity; let's invite him too."
"Got it!"
After a moment of hesitation, Blaze Peter nodded firmly and turned to walk out of the hall, summoning several young clan members with a wave of his hand.
That day, countless families in Veloria City received the news immediately: Blaze Ash's son, Blaze Regret, was going to publicly refine a pill at the Blaze family's gate!
In an instant, the entire city was in an uproar.
"Master Sun, what do you think about this matter?"
After sending off the messenger from the Blaze family, Pan Kan, the head of the Pan family, slightly tilted his head and looked at a middle aged man sitting and drinking tea. He spoke in a deep voice.
The middle aged man was Sun Mek, the current head of the Sun family. Although his family's wealth wasn't as great as the Blaze family's, they were still quite well known in Veloria City.
Gently placing down his teacup, Sun Mek couldn't help but smile. "It's just a desperate struggle. If Blaze Regret was really an alchemist, how could we not have heard about it? Just wait, we'll see the truth this afternoon."
"You're right. Who knows what tricks Blaze Ash will come up with to buy time. Let's see how the Blaze family embarrasses themselves this time." Pan Kan sneered, crumpling the paper in his hand into a ball.
In Veloria City, the Pan family, the Sun family, and the Bun family cooperated most frequently with the Blaze family. After the Blaze family encountered troubles, the other two naturally chose to defect and align with the Snow family.
"Master Bun, what is your decision?" Sun Mek looked at the only silent middle aged man in the room and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Bun Pitar, the head of the Bun family, shook his head with a bitter smile. During his most difficult times, it was Blaze Ash who had helped him, so no matter what, he wouldn't kick the Blaze family when they were down.
