After his talk with the head master, Rey proceeded to go to his given house as he was being accompanied by Instructor Bran. "This residence will be mine?" "Yes, you were really lucky.." "This residence was a bit larger and it seems like the innergy here was denser than the others." "This residence was originally built for the senior alchemist which is why the surrounding has denser innergy than the others. After all, alchemists do find that the environment could affect the success rate of the pills that they wanted to conduct. "I see, can I also meet this Alchemist that you mentioned?" "Hmm, can I ask for a reason why you want to meet this Alchemist?" "Because of the crystal stone. Someone informed me that the Crystal stone was formerly a chrysanthemum stone, and alchemists in my hometown discovered that this crystal stone could be used to make a blue pill, but unfortunately, it can only be taken by people who were at Quansi-lords." "And?" "And I learned that Alchemist on this
Several weeks passed since the king of Dakufindo left from the Demon Realm as to advance to the next stage of sainthood, the true saint. "How many times had passed since I was soaking on this bloody demonic pond? There was still no sign of breaking through?" Muttered Mammon. "Maybe the demonic pond was of no use for your ascension, your highness." Said, one of the demonic being who were in charge of a small kingdom in Demon Realm. "Ohh, But I've been using this pond since I was born, and it even helped me break through to my current state." "Your highness, how about using the method that the humans currently use to advance to the higher stages?" "Ohh? What methods do humans have?" "Their method was to hunt many monsters or battle with each other while the essence of those they have killed was naturally absorbed and converted to their own innergy." "So you want me to return to the human world? Are you an idiot? I forced open the warp that connected to the human realm simply to ge
A few minutes passed, and Alchemy Johann asked Rey whether he has enough crystal stones for making the certain pill that could improve one's evolution rate. "So how much crystal stone do you have?" "I have one thousand two hundred five crystal stones." "Thousand you say? Hmm, did you know that making the chrysanthemum pill can cost a lot of crystal stones?" "How much really was needed in order to make one?" "Five hundred crystal stone was needed in order to create that pill, and with its difficulty, it would cost a lot before successfully making one." "Sighed, it was really costly, huh?" "It really is, extracting the essence from the crystal stone was a difficult procedure, and you need to concentrate when mixing each ingredient or else the entire process would be ruined." "Is there really no way of increasing the success rate of making the pill?" "Hm, there is one, but no one hasn't found it yet." "Oh? What is?" "Did you know that before becoming an alchemist, one would nee
After another hour, the essence of the ingredients was successfully extracted and formed into a pill. "S-Success!" Remarked, Alchemist Johann. "Already?" "What do you mean? Several hours had already passed! It was even midnight now." "Ohh, being an alchemist sure takes a lot of time." "It certainly is, there was even a time where concocting a higher grade pill takes up to one or two whole days before extracting and entering the phase of mixture." "That long?" "Yes.." "The proof was currently in front of you. Just by making a grade 3 pill takes up at least seven hours before finally taking the form of pill." "So this was a grade 3 pill, huh?" "Yes, pills were classified into four grades: 1st to 2nd grade was labeled as lower grade pill, 3rd grade was intermediate grade pill, 4th grade was higher grade pill, and 5th grade was mystic grade pill. There was also a ranking on being an Alchemy; if you can make a 1st or 2nd grade pill, you will be categorized as apprentice alchemist.
The day had passed, and Rey came back to his residence before doing his hunt while Alchemist Johann departed to another town which was the town where the headquarter of the Alchemists was located. >Rey's Residence< "Hmm, Khufra." "Yes, brother?" "How about we hunt a great general monster this time?" "Great General monster? What kind of monster was that?" "A monster that has the strength comparable to the stage of quansi-saint." "Ohh? So we will hunt farther than we used to do?" "Yes, I feel like I will really need a lot of crystal stone and so hunting the best monster would earn us by a lot." "Can we really hunt a great general monsters?" Note: In the land of Hope, monsters were classified according to their strength: a Warrior Stage Monster has the strength of a Quansi-Lord, a Chief Warrior Stage Monster has the strength of a True-Lord, and a General Stage Monster has the strength of a Supreme Lord. A Great General Monster has the strength comparable to a Quansi Saint while
Rey and Khura officially went outside the town to hunt a Great General Monster which has the strength comparable to a Quansi Saint. They walk and walk, and walk further from the deserted land. Both of them felt a presence of a monsters, a monster tide to be precise. "Brother, I sense danger." "Hmm, your senses improved a lot after becoming a human huh? Yes, there is a danger that was approaching and it was not just one, but dozens." "Dozens? Another monster tide?" "Perhaps." "Ebony, do you want to eat some cores?" "Kyahhh~" Ebony appeared and is immediately transformed into the early stage of adulthood. "You grew up, Ebony." Said, Khufra. "Kyahh~" "Brother, here they come!" "Hmm, the ground was unceasingly shaking. A big one was coming.." "A big one?" "When there's a monster tide, there was a boss, and guess what? A boss that was about to arrive was a Great General that we were looking for." "We really found a Great General!" "Khufra, Ebony, you guys will be in charge

"So this is what a Great General would drop? Hmm, Worm Cyclops Fang, a material for forging an indestructible weapon, Uhm, Chrysanthemum Stone 20 pieces, too few... Worm Cyclops Skin? This would get me a lot of crystal stone. How about on your side, guys?" "We collected a minimum of two hundred crystal stones, but.. As Ebony burnt almost half of the tide, we can only bring half the number of rhino’s precious skin to a dismantler.” "It’s okay. Nonetheless, it is a good harvest.. Yes, what a good harvest it is, but..“ “But?” “Where’s the core?” “Gone..” “?..” “There.” “You’re pointing at nothing..” “Exactly, you destroyed the core to nothingness..” “…Yeah?" "Yea.." … The three walked further and further from the desert and hunted once again until the sunset. "Hmm, this much would earn us at least two thousand crystal stones right?" "Yes, brother. Ahh, the sun has already set." "Then, shall we go back now?" "Yes." Just as they were about to return, a person's voice reso
