From Fish to Dragon 118 Alchemy

The sound of bubbles popping and liquid gurgling could be heard. The source of the said sound came from a large cauldron with a strange colored liquid within.

A large flame was under the cauldron, while various plants and powder were being thrown in like cooking beans. The color of the liquid only became stranger as more ingredients were being thrown inside.

The young men awaited the perfect timing to throw the ingredients into the cauldron. Once all the required ingredients were in, they put the lid over the cauldron then sat down and awaited the end result.

A good thirty minutes later, they opened the lid of the cauldron and small objects within flew out on their own into the hands of the two young men.

On their palm, small round balls made up of the ingredients they had thrown into the cauldron all merged and formed the pill in their hand. With the number of ingredients used, only six pills were created.

"Boss, I feel like the main character of a xianxia novel, the pills literally flew out on their own. We don't even have any spiritual qi!" one of the young men said.

"What do you think, peak master?" the other young man asked an old man not far away.

The two young men were obviously Ye Qin and Wang Tao. They had successfully created the first set of pills that came into the former's mind on their first try.

"Fantastic, though I don't know what you made exactly, I can tell that they are good stuff. From the ingredients used, it must be some sort of energizing pill, it may sell for a lot if we put it up." the peak master replied.

"En, that's exactly right. Since the main ingredient used was the Seven Star grass, let's call it the Seven Star Energy Pill." Ye Qin said.

"A befitting name indeed, now let's put them safely away." the peak master said as a small bottle which was obviously used to store pills inside came out of his pocket.

Putting the pills inside the bottle, they prepared to make the next to set of pills.

*************

Three exquisite bottles were gently placed on a wooden table within a small wooden hut. After successfully making the pills, the pills were all put inside the three small bottles in front of them.

Ye Qin had briefly explained their usage to the peak master, making his eyes widen.

"Say, I feel like you made pills in those novels used for cultivators instead of things that are actually useful for us." the peak master couldn't help but say.

"I guess we can qualify as alchemists, hehehe." Wang Tao joked.

"Well, it was just something I tried making, who knew I would get things like this. At least we know that something could be made this way." Ye Qin replied.

"While we may not be able to cultivate like in novels, maybe there is a way for us to merge with our monsters and integrate their powers within our bodies, or have armor like in that ancient anime Kn*ghts of the Z*diac along with the energies of our partners." Wang Tao said.

"That might be possible in the future, but as for now... I don't know if its possible, however, with you two here, believe we may succeed in our lifetime."

"This will take a lot of research, oh yes peak master, the other day; the two of us found these." Ye Qin told the peak master.

Knowing what his brother meant, Wang Tao tapped his smartwatch as the strange crystals they had extracted from the underwater ravine appeared within the hut.

Boom!

When they landed, the wooden floor creaked as a few spots cracked and a small hole could be seen on the ground.

"Er, I think we should do this elsewhere." Wang Tao rubbed his head.

Seeing the crystals for a brief second, the peak master's eyes sparkled.

Outside the hut, Ye Qin and Wang Tao brought out all the crystals they had taken. "Peak master, do you feel anything?" Ye Qin asked.

"Hmm.. Yes, indeed I do, this familiar feeling I am getting from deep within me." the peak master replied as he closed his eyes and touched the surface of the crystals.

When he opened his eyes, the peak master was shocked.

"This... it's the same." he stuttered.

"En, we felt the same thing when we found them. It seems like it was more effective on you, peak master. Do you know anyone who can help us research them?" Ye Qin asked.

"I do know someone, however, I don't know if that old man is still there. It's been decades since I last saw him."

"Good, we'll leave them with you for now. When the time is right, we will come back to help with the research." Wang Tao added.

"We'll head off for now, peak master." the two brothers said as they prepared to leave.

"En, I'll see you again, let me try contacting that old fella."

************

Leaving the Medicinal peak, Ye Qin felt the presence of a familiar aura. Looking up high into the sky, the Battle peak's master was sitting on his partner while drinking.

"Peak master." the two brothers said.

"I saw what happened, I'll help convince that old fella." the peak master said before turning into a bolt of thunder and disappeared from sight.

Now that everything they needed to do was solved, the two brothers went back to their rooms for the day.
