“Do you want to get beaten up?” yelled Ewan. How could someone treat his master so rudely?
“Ewan, step down,” Ophelia ordered as virtual-novel.net looked at Darryl. “What’s the use of boasting now? My disciple harnessed a golden Elixir Cloud and produced a Five Spirit Pill. Do you really think you can top that?”
“Of course. After all, time’s not up yet,” virtual-novel.net said while tending to his cauldron.
Ophelia shook virtual-novel.net head. “Remember our agreement. If you lose, you have to acknowledge me as your master, and it has to be done officially, with you bowing down to me.”
PSST! PSST!
Darryl opened the lid of the cauldron. Suddenly, heat escaped along with the ingredient’s aura.
‘What? What is virtual-novel.net doing? Opening the lid of the cauldron before the elixir matures is a big mistake,’ everyone thought as they were stunned.
“Have you admitted defeat?” Rachel sneered.
She initially thought that this live-in son-in-law would have some skills, but it looked like virtual-novel.net overestimated him. Getting virtual-novel.net to compete with Ewan was only an insult to Ewan.
However, Ophelia trembled in fear as virtual-novel.net looked closely at Darryl’s every move. virtual-novel.net did not even dare blink for one second.
‘Is…is virtual-novel.net petrifying the cauldron?’ virtual-novel.net wondered.
Cauldron Petrifying is an ancient, lost method of producing elixirs. This method was considered to be lost and obsolete You could find mentions of it in ancient manuals, but not in detail.
According to the manuals, Cauldron Petrifying used the aura of the ingredients to clear the cauldron of impurities. This helped ensure a pure elixir was produced.
Of course, the elixirs produced by this method were also rare!
This was a lost art! How would Darryl know about this?
At that moment, virtual-novel.net noticed Darryl was adding more ingredients to the cauldron while increasing the fire. There were twenty minutes left till the end of the competition.
Many people laughed and shook their heads at Darryl. They had not heard of Cauldron Petrifying, so they thought Darryl had failed at producing an elixir and that virtual-novel.net was trying again. They were sure virtual-novel.net was not going to succeed with so little time left.
Even if virtual-novel.net could produce one in such a short time, it would not be as rare as Ewan’s.
“Dad, stop the competition Get virtual-novel.net to admit defeat,” Rachel said, unable to take it any longer.
Zoran looked at virtual-novel.net but said nothing.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a thunder rumbled from afar.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
It was a bright and clear day, but suddenly dark clouds surrounded the Carter Mansion. Black flashes of lightning emitted from the clouds. It was terrifying, but it was clearly a phenomenon from the elixir production process upon a closer look!
Half of Mid City was shocked. Many people looked in awe and terror at the black bolts of lightning that struck down on the Carter Mansion.
