Chapter 15: Take This Pill

Austin spoke calmly.

Perhaps this sentence didn’t hold as much weight to him.

After all, it was just alchemy. As the Celestial Emperor, wasn’t it just as simple as being able to master a skill?

But to Christina, it was completely different.

Christina had just told Austin how rare becoming an alchemist was in the Landry continent.

Even in the entire Seth Kingdom’s Human Imperial City, there was only Bruce.

Furthermore, the Nolan family only relied on their single alchemist. No matter how turbulent the situation outside was, they still held the position of the number one family in Seth Kingdom’s Human Imperial City.

With just this point, it was enough to see how rare and precious alchemists were.

But Austin asked her the question as if he were asking her for a glass of water, “Do you want to become an alchemist?”

Christina naturally thought that Austin had made a mistake and immediately explained to Austin, “No, you might have misunderstood. To become an alchemist, you need a very high threshold. Not only do you need to have an extremely high perception of the surrounding magic elements, but you also need to be extremely proficient in fire magic. At the same time, you must be familiar with the characteristics of all kinds of spiritual herbs.

“Only when you have achieved these three things at the same time can you refine a pill to perfection. If you lack even one of these three by just a little, you score the risk of potentially making your furnace explode.” 

As she spoke, Christina also raised an example. “Just like Bruce, he was able to become a first-tier alchemist in our family because he had immersed himself in the path of alchemy for many years before he was able to achieve it. Now, he can refine a batch of first-tier pills in an hour.

“Moreover, if he’s willing, he can even spend a lot of time and experience to refine a batch of second-tier pills. Once these second-tier pills are released, even the elders of the other two major families will fight over them.

“Therefore, being an alchemist is a technical job. Even if you are very strong, you will not be able to become an alchemist if you do not meet the requirements.”

Christina’s explanation to Austin suggested that his way of thinking was far too simple.

However, after listening to all of this…

Austin frowned and said in a calm voice, “Bruce can refine pills? What’s a first-tier pill? How can a second-tier pill truly be called a pill? Are you really consuming such low-grade pills here? Not only are they capable of changing your physique, but also the way you sense magical elements in your surroundings. Maybe your innate ability to sense magical elements was actually destroyed by these pills.”

As he spoke, he realized that Christina had misunderstood his meaning.

Austin did not say any more nonsense and just took out some spiritual herbs from the medicine bag on the table.

After that, he moved his hand.

Gentle spiritual energy surged out again from his hand.

The spiritual energy transformed into a ball of flame in his hand and instantly burned the spiritual herbs that rested in his palm.

In less than three seconds, the original spiritual herbs had disappeared and turned into a round white pill that lay quietly in his palm.

“Take it,” Austin said casually and put the pill into Christina’s hand.

As soon as he put it in her hand, Christina could feel the extremely pure medicinal power within it.

After that, she did not think much and followed Austin’s instructions, swallowing the pill down whole.

As soon as the pill entered her mouth, it immediately turned into a spiritual liquid that flowed deep into her body before she could even try to chew it.

Christina felt a sudden burst of medicinal power in her body.

For a moment, the medicinal power bloomed like an ocean but also flowed into her limbs and bones in an extremely gentle manner.

From her muscles to her meridians, there was a heavy yet extremely comfortable feeling in all her limbs, following wherever the medicinal power spread to.

As the medicinal power spread, an extremely comfortable and smooth feeling emerged all over Christina’s body.

This feeling of relief made her moan uncontrollably.

“Oh…”

As soon as she opened her mouth, Christina could not help but blush.

Although her relationship with Austin no longer made them strangers, she was still a girl no matter what.

Making such a sound in front of Austin was really a little embarrassing.

But the feeling coming from her body was really too comfortable, so she could not help but cry out.

The more she thought about it, the redder her face became.

Austin, who noticed this scene, couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s okay, that’s a normal reaction. Those guys who ate my pills in the past had the same reaction as you.”

Until Austin said that, the blush on Christina’s face slowly began to fade.

So she wasn’t the only one who had such a reaction. That was good. Otherwise, after she digested the medicinal effects of the pills, she probably couldn’t help but find a hole in the ground and hide in front of Austin.

However, that was only what Christina thought to comfort herself.

If she knew the true identity of those ‘men’ that Austin had mentioned, her jaw would probably drop to the floor in surprise. 

In her previous life, the only people who were allowed to consume Austin’s pills were those who were considered emperor-level powerhouses. 

At the thought of those emperor-level powerhouses being able to show such a state…

It was not difficult to see that besides being powerful, Austin was also skilled with refining medicinal pills.

Austin looked at Christina indifferently.

In his line of sight, Christina was right in front of him with her eyes slightly closed, digesting the white medicinal pill that he had just refined for her.
