“How sure are you that it's ruined? What if I've successfully made a pill with it?” Jared smirked.
“You're joking. It's only been ten minutes. I'll kneel before you if you succeed!”
Hosen refused to believe him. A mystical herb like the Grus Divina would not be made into a pill in just ten minutes.
“Very well!”
Grinning, Jared calmly approached the Divine Cauldron and produced a crystal-clear pill from within. A faint glint of light emanated from around it.
The crowd wore similar expressions of disbelief when Jared had succeeded in transforming the Grus Divina into a pill.
Hosen muttered in shock, “Impossible. Absolutely impossible.”
As he spoke, he ran over to the Divine Cauldron and looked inside, trying to see if Jared had somehow played a trick.
“It's no use looking. There's nothing in there. This is the pill synthesized from the Grus Divina. The aura emanating from the pill contains traces of the scent of the herb. As an alchemist, surely you can detect it?” Jared said.
As a matter of fact, Hosen had detected the aroma from the moment Jared produced the pill, but he had simply refused to believe it.
“How is this possible?”
Even though the facts had been laid out right before him, Hosen still couldn't believe it.
“Just because you can't doesn't mean nobody else can. How could you see the world out there being this closed-minded? Nothing is impossible. Now that I have succeeded, you may proceed to get on your knees,” Jared said as he regarded Hosen with a satisfied glance.
“I don't know how you managed to make the pill from the Grus Divina in ten minutes, but I am certain it doesn't serve any purpose. I refuse to believe you can cure the girl with it,” Hosen said loudly. I am the leader of Emerald Cauldron Sect. How can I kneel before a kid like him?
“Well then, let me convince you otherwise.” Jared handed the pill to Julius. “Give this to your daughter, Mr. Poulsen. She will be good as new within six hours.”
