[Herb Essence]: An essence extracted from the Eaglewood Leaf and Thorn Flowers, which can enhance the perception of nerves slightly within a very short period of time after use.
Looking at the White Cloud Bottle in front of him, David Jones blinked his eyes.
It seemed he was overthinking, and Identify Talent couldn’t be used for Alchemy.
“Forget it. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.”
David shook his head, but he did not stop urging the use of Identify Talent.
He controlled the 15 jade bottles in front of him, and then poured the herb essence from each bottle into the Aurora Cauldron following the process of refining.
Once those fluids entered the cauldron, they gradually condensed under the heat of the Aurora Flame into a strange liquid radiating various colors.
David looked at the submerged medicinal solution and manipulated the flames through Psychic Power and Identify Talent, carrying out the drying and elixir_ condensing processes.
As time passed, the cauldron started to emit a faint fragrance. David’s eyes stared intently at the medicinal solution inside the cauldron.
At this moment, it was the critical moment for elixir formation, and he couldn’t afford to be careless.
A slight mistake would cost the painstakingly prepared Starfall Elixir!
A moment later, a drop of sweat dripped from David’s forehead.
In front of him, the upper part of the Aurora Cauldron was surrounded by flames, resembling a miniature azure sun, which also emitted a rich medicinal aroma.
Under such intense high heat, the medicinal solution’s energy inside the Aurora Cauldron kept condensing and gathering. Its color became more intense, and David’s face turned extremely focused at this moment.
He raised his perception to the highest level. The majestic Psychic Power continuously surged from the Arcane Star, tightly entwining with the medicinal solution inside the Aurora Cauldron.
Under his guidance and urging, the flames became more vigorous, and the dark red medicine solution began to condense into elixir.
As the last of the medicinal solution solidified, a light red soft light flashed momentarily. Three crimson, perfectly round elixirs appeared inside the Aurora Cauldron.
At the same time, three strands of light red airflow drifted out from the cauldron, and their target was David Jones himself.
David was slightly taken aback.
What kind of strange thing is this?
The Pharmacist Manual didn’t record these three bizarre airflows.
David wrapped Arcane Force around his palm, intending to block it with his hand.
However, the airflows seemed to be invisible and passed directly through his palm, quickly entering his pupils.
David subconsciously closed his eyes, urging the Arcane Force within his body to expel the unexpected red flow from his system. He even ignored the freshly refined Starfall Elixir.
However, a cool sensation poured out from his eyes, even enveloping his Arcane Star.
“What is this?” David couldn’t help but open his eyes, exclaiming in surprise.
As the three strands of airflow fused, he could feel that his vision seemed to have become slightly clearer, and even his Arcane Star Cultivation had increased a tad.
Although insignificant, David was sure that the increase was not due to the Afterglow Array.
With that thought, he took out the Pharmacist Manual gifted by Rosalind from his Star Ring and kept flipping through it.
“Nothing, absolutely nothing.”
David furrowed his brows. This situation was not recorded at all, and even online searches couldn’t find any similar information.
After pondering for a while, his gaze caught the Aurora Cauldron, and with a thought, three visually pleasing Starfall Elixirs flew out from the mouth of the cauldron.
“Is it a problem with the Starfall Elixir or a problem with me?” David Jones’s face showed a trace of confusion.
Since he couldn’t find the cause, he would try again!
He gritted his teeth and prepared to start the second refinement.
After the success of the first time, David Jones carefully began the second Alchemy, trying for consecutive success.
However, this time, he failed!
Although he was following the same steps and techniques, at the last moment of elixir condensing, he hesitated, thinking of the three strands of airflow. He even subconsciously tightened his Psychic Power perception, leading to the failure of the final elixir condensing.
David Jones shook his head, collected the waste elixir in the Aurora Cauldron, prepared to bury them as fertilizer in the soil of the Herbal Space to increase the nutrients, and then continued with Alchemy.
An hour later, David Jones looked at the five Starfall Elixirs in front of him, his eyes flashing with confusion.
After this successful Alchemy, not even two strands of the mysterious airflow appeared, let alone three.
“Could it have been an accident just now?” David Jones thought to himself.
To explore the cause of the mysterious airflow, he started the third Alchemy.
Another hour passed, and there were seven Starfall Elixirs floating in the Alchemy Chamber. However, this time, the two unexplained strands of airflow appeared again.
“It’s indeed a problem with the Identify Talent!” David Jones’s heart surged with surprise.
As long as he used the Identify Talent when refining elixirs, the number of mysterious strands of airflow would be based on the number of elixirs, and then they would quickly merge into his eyes, as if cultivating something!
David Jones couldn’t help but be amazed.
Could it be that his Identify Talent had this hidden use?
David Jones scratched his head. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t use his Identify Talent on himself, he would even want to give himself an Identify!
For now, let’s call the mysterious appearing airflow elixir soul!
His Identify Talent couldn’t observe and analyze the Pharmacy process but could make the elixir give birth to an elixir soul. Although he didn’t know what would be born after absorbing a lot of elixir souls, the improvement of Arcane Star Cultivation was a good thing.
However, thinking of the side effects of the Starfall Elixir, a new question suddenly popped up in his mind. Could this elixir soul also have negative effects that would make the Arcane Star worsen?
With this thought, David Jones started Alchemy again, but this time he was refining a Class I elixir called Fiery Elixir.
[Fiery Elixir]: a Class IA tier Fire-related elixir that can slightly increase the Arcane Force of a Fire-related Pet and also has the effect of quickly recovering Fire-related Arcane Force.
After the Fiery Elixir was completed, most of David Jones’s physical and Psychic Power were consumed.
He put the elixirs in the Jade Bottle, and his eyes were full of excitement.
Whether refining Starfall Elixir or Fiery Elixir, as long as Alchemy was successful, he would be able to obtain the nurturing boost from the elixir soul.
Although there was only a wisp of elixir soul, the accumulated amount would gradually increase his Arcane Star’s growth rate.
Moreover, David Jones had a vague feeling that the elixir soul seemed to be nurturing some mysterious power in his eyes, and the increased Arcane Star Cultivation might only be incidental.
David Jones shook his head and couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
Perhaps he was overthinking; even if this elixir soul had the effect of cleansing and improving his vision, it didn’t mean anything.
The Grand Saint of Even Heaven could practice the golden eyes of fire in the Alchemy Furnace, but could he also nurture a knockoff version of the golden eyes of fire with this elixir soul?
Bear in mind, he was not born from a stone, and there was a big difference between them in natural talent!
