Is That A Wisp?

The Alchemist Organization Headquarters is located in a Planet called Jiran. This planet, of course, is in the same Solar System as the Riren Planet.

Inside the Headquarters, in an enormous room deep inside the main Building, a Spatial Gate appeared. From inside, elder Lagan and Palo came out together with Krune. Krune took a look around and noticed that the place looked more like a lab, he looked back at Lagan and Palo and waited for them to explain.

Palo knew that Krune was confused.

"This is exactly what it looks like, a lab that we use to research pills. Didn't I tell you before? We couldn't analyze your pill, nor could we tell which grade it is. That's why we had to come here."

Krune sighed.

"You could at least tell me that we were coming. I was pulled inside the Spatial Gate out of nowhere, which wasn't a very pleasant feeling."

Elder Lagan laughed and said.

"My bad, my bad. I thought that Palo had already talked to you, and since I was in a hurry, I just brought you two inside straight away."

Lagan then looked at a few other members who were already present in the room when they arrived.

"Anyway, I did what I was supposed to do, let me know if you need me later."

The leader of the group nodded, and Lagan left right after.

That guy came forward and greeted Krune.

"Hello there, I'm Lian Yasau. The chief in charge of this research lab. I was already informed about the fact that you probably created a new pill, so we are going to use this place to find out the pill grade and register its effects."

Lian continued.

"As you know, Alchemy is an occupation with unlimited possibilities. You never know when a new pill will appear out there and what effect it might have. It's for that reason that our lab exists. We are also in contact with the other Solar Systems Alchemy Organizations. That's how we update each other regarding new pills that appear in the market."

Krune finally understood why he was brought here, but there was one thing that puzzled him.

"But I just concocted a Cultivation Stabilizing Pill, was it really hard to give it a grade? Between the existent pills, this one was supposed to be a fairly common one."

Palo delivered the pill that Krune made to Lian while saying.

"So this is a Cultivation Stabilizing Pill. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't be able to say it at all. Of course, I could already imagine it since I knew which herbs you used on it. Still, how come it became like this?"

Krune looked at his pill and only know that he paid enough attention, did he notice the purple hue around it. That wasn't all, the pill itself seemed to give some heat as well. Unless the pill was made using an item that had a warming effect, they would be cold all the time.

The problem is, Krune only tried to make a Cultivation Stabilizing Pill. Hence, none of the materials involved had such an effect. Krune also got curious as to why the pill turned out like that.

Palo looked at Krune and then said.

"That isn't all. Try to put a little of Spiritual Energy over it."

Krune nodded and did as Palo said. Suddenly, the pill itself created a purple flame around it, which took Krune aback. But the most surprising thing was the fact that the pill flame was not harmful. In fact, the temperature of the pill didn't change at all. If the pill was consumed like this, at least that purple flame wouldn't cause any damage due to its temperature.

But it was then that Krune noticed.

"Wait, I can feel a little bit of the Burning Law on it."

Lian agreed with Krune.

"Exactly, I can also tell this much."

He looked deeply at that pill since it shouldn't have such an effect considering the materials used.

"Considering the law factor, it is most likely a Golden Star Level pill. But we still need to confirm it."

Krune was happy to hear that since he thought that the pill had been damaged before.

"Alright, you two can stay while my group checks it."

Just as Lian was about to start doing the tests, he remembered another thing.

"Oh, right! Krune, if you tried, could you create another one of this pill?"

Krune pondered a bit about the steps that he took back in the Alchemist competition and then shrugged his shoulders.

"Maybe? It was a crazy idea to concoct this pill like the way I did, so I don't know if I can recreate it or not. As you probably know, there was even a little accident because of it."

Palo heard the 'little' accident words, and his mouth twitched.

'If the other elders and I hadn't stopped the explosion, it would put half of the place down. Is that what you call a 'little' accident?'

Lian didn't know what Palo was thinking, so he just nodded back to Krune.

"Well, whether there will be a need for you to make it again or not will depend on the results. If it turns out that this thing is harmful and brings no effect regarding the Cultivation Stabilization, you might as well forget how it was even concocted."

Krune agreed with Lian's words. What would be the point in making a pill that had no use and only harmed the user? It's not like he is making poison pills anyway. In fact, if Krune wanted to, it would be more cost-effective to make a poison pill straight away.

Lian then handed the pill to one of his subordinates and brought Krune to his table.

"Alright. Tell me the entire process of how it was done. The more detailed, the better."

Krune nodded and started to explain how he concocted that Cultivation Stabilizing Pill. Of course, he also apologized about the fact that there were a few things that he couldn't say. Lian didn't mind since secrets are part of the Cultivation World. He was already expecting this much when he saw the record of that purple flame that Krune used.

While Krune and the others were making the tests, back in the Riren Planet, Feifei received another message.

She looked at Tiane and Ruik and said.

"Krune told me that they are making several tests with his pill, and because of that, he will probably stay there for two or three days to help. If it turns out that what he made is a new pill, they will need to have it registered in the system of the Alchemist Organization."

Ruik nodded and sighed.

"Only that idiot can create something new out of an explosion. Oh well, it doesn't matter what he does, I can't even feel surprised anymore."

Feifei couldn't help but laugh.

"You couldn't be more correct. Hahaha!"

Ruik noticed Tiane beside Feifei, and then his eyes lit up!

"Oh, now that I think about it, we were all going to take missions in the Mission Hall. Although Krune can't come back for the next days, it is not like we are his fiance. So, what you say, Tiane? Should we go take that mission that we agreed from the start?"

Only now did she remember that agreement. Still, after what happened in the living room the day prior, the last thing she wanted was to stay close to that snake.

Ruik noticed her ugly face, and his smile grew bigger.

"Of course, if you want to stay, I won't insist. That just means that you aren't capable of taking missions of the same level as me. There is nothing wrong with admitting that you aren't quite at the right level. It's okay to be afraid."

Another vein popped out of Tiane's head after hearing that. She immediately stood up and started to make her way out. When she arrived at the door, she asked Ruik back.

"What are you waiting for?"

Ruik laughed out loud and left with Tiane. He had found it quite funny to tease her every now and then.

Feifei just shook her head and went back to her room to cultivate. She decided to wait for Krune to be back before they go take a mission for themselves as well.
