At the thought, Martin held his breath as he waited for his chance silently outside the window.
He had thought it through, and was going to launch a sneak attack upon them when they had finished the pill and snatch it from Darryl.
……
Over in the main palace.
Darryl stood in front of the crystal vial, controlling the fire beneath it with full focus.
What…
Rachelle's expression was one of confusion and curiosity from where she stood by his side. Wasn't this far too simple of a way to make a pill?
From what she knew, pill-making was an extremely complex thing to do that required a specialized stove. Yet here Darryl was, using a mere crystal vial to make the pill?
Wasn't this simplifying the process far too much?
At the thought, Rachelle could not help but ask, "Darryl, do you… do you think you can do it?"
Rachelle felt as if Darryl was merely fooling around then.
"You don't believe me?"
Darryl smiled at the look on her face, before saying in a serious tone, I know anyone who makes pills would use the proper tools. But once you've reached a certain level of expertise, the materials won't matter anymore. What matters is the accuracy of the ingredients, and your flame control."
As he spoke, Darryl's gaze never left the flame. It was not going to be long before the Nineturn Spirit Pill came to be.
Whew…
Rachelle nodded at the words, realization dawning upon her.
So this was what pill-making prioritized…
Thump!
Just then, the crystal vial began to rumble.
Rachelle turned to look over urgently, to find Darryl opening the vial with all smiles before taking out a golden pill.
It was the Nineturn Spirit Pill.
To tell the truth, Darryl was a pretty good guy in more aspects than one. He was not only skilled, but also a pill-making master. Yet… at the thought of him taking her purity away, Rachelle found that she could not calm herself down.
Making another pill?
Martin, who had been preparing to strike at any moment, saw what was happening in the room and held back at the last second.
He had overheard Darryl and Rachelle's conversation clearly, and a devious smirk appeared on his face at the mention of the pill being capable of restoring one to full health.
How could he pass up such a perfect chance of having a pill made by Darryl Darby?
Go ahead, make your pills. They're all going to be mine.
Time ticked by by the second.
Thump!
It was not long before the crystal vial began to rumble once more, implying that the Spirit Return Pill was ready.
Darryl was nothing but pleased then, taking out the Spirit Return Pill with a huge smile on his face before passing it to Rachelle. "Quick, take it." The Nineturn Spirit Pill and the Spirit Return Pill were both ready, and Darryl and Rachelle would have their powers restored in no time. It was going to be a piece of cake to take down Prince Auten then.
