Full-Time Magister: The Calamity of Fire, the Emperor's Flame Burns the Heavens

Chapter 4 Refining Pills, Illusionary Spirit Pill?

As time passed, the Black Demon Cauldron reached the temperature required by Huayu.

"Alchemy furnace, start!" Hua Yu shouted sternly.

The lid of the Black Demon Cauldron was instantly popped open, and Hua Yu took out three different shaped herbs from his storage magic tool.

"These are: Spirit-Nourishing Grass, Restoration Flower, and..."

A knowledgeable military strategist recognized two of the herbs, but could not identify the last one, which resembled a leaf.

“This last one is the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Leaf.” Nan Jue, standing to the side, recognized the last herb.

These herbs are used by pharmacists to make potions, which can only be made by plant-based or poison-based mages. However, Hua Yu is currently using fire-based magic.

"What on earth is this guy doing?" Even the knowledgeable Nan Jue couldn't figure out Hua Yu's behavior at this moment.

That's right, Hua Yu doesn't have a plant element, but his Emperor Flame contains wood element energy, which is plant element. Now that he has the Emperor Flame, he should experience what it's like to be an alchemist.

As the three herbs were tossed into the Black Demon Cauldron one by one, a rich fragrance wafted out from the cauldron, spreading around with the gentle breeze.

The three medicinal herbs were refined into three drops of pure liquid, and the impurities were completely removed.

Under Hua Yu's control, the three drops of liquid merged and condensed together, gradually transforming into a pill the size of a marble under the constant warmth of the flames.

"Okay."

Hua Yu looked at the completed pill, then withdrew the Emperor Flame and retrieved the pill.

A bluish-white pill appeared in Hua Yu's hand, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

"This is... a pill?" Nan Jue leaned forward and asked, looking at the pill in Hua Yu's hand.

“No, this is a pill.” Hua Yu paused for a moment and then said, “You can call it the Illusionary Spirit Pill.”

He made up the name of the elixir on the spot, but he was very satisfied with his choice of name.

"Illusionary Spirit Pill? The name is alright, but what are the effects of this pill?" Nan Jue asked.

"Here, try it yourself and you'll see." Hua Yu handed the pill to Nan Jue with a grin.

Nan Jue rolled her eyes at Hua Yu, but still reached out and took the pill, putting it in her mouth. She had seen Hua Yu refine the pill, but she also trusted him.

Hua Yu didn't expect Nan Jue to be so decisive. If it were someone else, they would have hesitated for a long time or even refused, since this was the first time that the pill had appeared in the public eye.

As Nan Jue swallowed the Illusionary Spirit Pill, the medicinal power contained within it instantly began to circulate within his body. As Nan Jue opened his eyes again, the Sound System Star Tracks were connected in an instant.

The target used for practicing magic in the distance shattered in an instant, its fragments scattering across the ground.

"How was it?" Hua Yu asked curiously. He had studied medicinal herbs for a long time, and this was his first time putting them into practice.

Nan Jue's face flushed red as she excitedly exclaimed, "This pill can enhance my spiritual power! I just broke through to the second realm of spiritual power!"

The surrounding military mages were all filled with shock upon hearing Nan Jue's words.

"Commander Hua, may I have a pill?" one of them asked excitedly, unable to contain his excitement. Three medicinal herbs were enough to refine one pill, and this pill could even enhance spiritual power—how could anyone not be excited?

If the Illusionary Spirit Pill were sold outside, it would definitely be snapped up, since it is a treasure that can enhance mental power.

If he wanted to sell it, Hua Yu would definitely prioritize supplying the military, since he also belonged to that faction.

"Don't worry, these pills will definitely be distributed later, but not now," Hua Yu reassured her, then took Nan Jue's hand and left the training ground.

Nan Jue didn't expect Hua Yu to hold her hand again, but she didn't feel any resistance, so she let Hua Yu hold her hand.

"Where are we going now?" Nan Jue asked in a low voice.

"Forehead"

Nan Jue's question stumped Hua Yu. He originally wanted to go back to his dormitory to discuss with his family how to develop a pill production line, but now he found himself habitually pulling Nan Jue along with him.

"Since that's the case, why not ask her what she thinks?" Hua Yu thought to himself. "By the way, I'm planning to gather a group of plant-based military mages to set up a pill-making production line. Do you have any suggestions?"

Hua Yu turned to look at Nan Jue's profile and asked.

“That’s a bit unreasonable. You said you wanted to recruit military mages, but military mages are very scarce in every military department. They are desperately recruiting newly awakened mages from outside. Moreover, most of those who can awaken plant magic have gone to academies. There aren’t enough people, so your condition doesn’t hold true.”

Nan Jue laid reality in front of Hua Yu, shattering Hua Yu's fantasy of a streamlined pill production line. Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh. Even if he is the biological son of the leader of the Southern Military Region, he cannot decide other people's lives.

"Sigh, the task ahead is arduous and the road is long!" Hua Yu said, drooping his head.

Looking at Hua Yu's appearance, Nan Jue couldn't help but reach out to touch Hua Yu's head. At sixteen years old, Hua Yu was only 178 cm tall, and Nan Jue easily touched his fluffy head.

The two looked very much like a close couple at that moment, while in a distant building, a woman was watching the commotion, occasionally revealing a maternal smile. It was hard to believe that the word "lewd" could be used to describe a woman.

"I never expected that Xiao Hua would actually steal away my western military beauty! Is this what they call a calf eating its mother's grass?" The woman tilted her head, looking at the scene in the distance.

"Dong dong!"

As the knock sounded, the woman withdrew her gaze and turned her head, about to change her expression, when she saw a handsome man with a Western Region appearance standing in the doorway, coldly staring at her.

"Commander Shi, it's not right for you to spy on others like this!" The man's calm voice betrayed no emotion.

"Ahem!" Shi Junshou cleared his throat. "Dawajian, sneaking in like that is sure to scare people. Don't do that again!"

"Come on, don't think I don't know. Your mental energy covers the entire military region from time to time to investigate the situation," Dawa Jian said, rolling his eyes.

As the deputy general and chief bodyguard of the military leader, Dawa Gyan already knew this woman's personality. Dawa Gyan walked to the table, found a chair, and sat down, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the tabletop.

"You should know about the pills that Xiao Hua refined, right?" Dawa Jian brought up the topic directly.

Upon hearing Dawajian's words, Shi Junshou nodded and said, "Xiao Hua's pills are very effective for mages below the high rank, but they are a drop in the ocean for those above the high rank."

"Besides, it's not possible to refine it on a large scale right now, so put your idea aside for now."

Shi Junshou also knew what Dawajian was talking about. After more than ten years of getting along, she could roughly guess what Dawajian was thinking.
