Chapter 2518 Crafting Nine Blood Burning Essence III
"Grandmaster Katarina, please,!" Shouted Grandmaster Salvador feeling the suppression of the refined essence of Grand Lord class Monster. He is angry, not at the suppression but at what it is doing to Master alchemist.
"They should be getting used to such things if they want to reach the true heights of the alchemy." She said without any guilt as she looked at the fainted Masters but acceded to his request as she sealed the suppressions.
"Thank you," He said and then turned to me, "Grandmaster Micheal, would you please check on their conditions?" he asked worriedly.
These twelve master class alchemists had been mentored by him, so obviously, he would be worried, as I would be if Ida or Leonard suffered something like it.
"They are fine, just unconscious; they would wake in a few minutes," I replied and moved them away from their spots. I had my seeds inside them; I did not want anything to go wrong with the crafting and made the preparation in my own way.
I placed all twelve of them in the corner and released a gentle breath of healing energy into them through my seeds.
They have worked hard, but now their work is finished; the final step will be done by the four of us.
"Little Micheal, are you ready? I hope you are good as your reputation said to be," asked Grandmaster Katarina as I walked toward them.
"You will not have any complaint from me, Grandmistress," I replied with a smile. "I hope so, or we will be wasting the resources of huge value," she said before turning to Jim.
THUD!
"Little Jim, bring out the pot." She said; Jim nodded and moved his hand, and next second, a huge thick bronze pot, covered thickly with runes, flew toward us before landing in front of us loudly.
"This is the most important step, also extremly delicate and dangerous, so be careful." cautioned Grandmaster Catarina and began.
I also started right after her; I had studied the process in great detail and discussed it with them, but when I began, I realized how much I had underestimated the process. It did not shake me; instead, I was excited by it.
I am considering it a challenge that I will beat.
Buzz!
As we begin, the first thing was to activate the pot with desired settings before adding the refined blood of the Grand Lord class Monster and quickly adding the seven Grand Lord herbal essence in rapid succession while keeping the essences in balance.
It is a very hard job; the Grand Lord class essences are powerful; even herbal essences become violet the moment they are added to the refined blood.
Sadly it was just the beginning; the things would get harder with each ingredient we put inside, especially the powerful ones, the refined essences of the core.
Twelve minutes later, we were able to mix the refined with seven herbal essences without getting them to explode, and now it is time to add a truly violent ingredient; the essence of three Grandmaster class cores.
Rumble!
We did that, and the moment we did, the rumble rang through the solution. It was very powerful that the four of us had to try our hardest to control the energies.
Perspiration begins to build on our bodies, and within a few minutes, we are drenched in it, but nobody cares about it since losing focus even for a second could make the whole thing explode bang; that even the bronze pot might not be able to contain.
A few more minutes passed, and we were able to contain the violet energy and finally got some rest, but that rest was short-lived.
Soon, we added the refined blood of Grandmaster along with the refined essence of the monster core, which again rumbled the solution, and we had to try our hardest to control it.
An hour passed, and we were more tired than before, but the process was far from over; hell, it was becoming even more difficult.
As we worked together, these alchemists couldn't help but impress me. They continued for more than fifteen hours, but they did not seem much tired or see as much tired as I, its like we began at the same time.
The most impressive among all is the old woman; her eyes are just as focused as before, and her hands are moving in precise movements. One could not see any shaking that was before when we were walking into this artifact.
Which made me think that the old woman might be faking her tiny shakes, but that seemed unlikely, and I didn't spend my brainpower on it, seeing I have more important things to do with it.
One of the most important moments of the process has arrived; if managed without any problem, then succeeding in crafting a solution would not be a problem.
We are finally adding the most powerful ingredient into the pot; the refined essence of Grand Lord Monster core.
"This will be our biggest challenge, and I would need all your help for it," said Grandmaster Catarina, and I felt her mobilizing the first energy around the pot. It is far more diluted than I had sensed in the final sanctum, but I could feel its power.
It could crush into the paste, and I will not be able to do anything against it. Thankfully, she is not using this power against anyone here.
She had enveloped the pot with this power before dropping the refined essence of the Grand Lord level Monster core inside it.
RUMBLE!
As we added it, the whole solution rumbled; I did not hesitate to use the power of my avatar in my core which I hadn't done before.
I could feel the soul power of all alchemists reaching the peak as all of us focused on controlling the mind-blogging violet power in the pot. It is immensely powerful and would wipe us out without giving us a chance to scream if it exploded.
All of us trying our hardest to control this violet energy and merge it with the solution, but it is hard. The energy did not want to be controlled; it wanted to run like a stallion and explode, taking all of us with it which we could not let happen.
So, we went all out, and finally, after more than thirty minutes later, we were able to control that violent energy and mix it with the rest of the solution.
The solution calmed down, but our work had been far from over, though we were able to accomplish the most difficult task. Still, we could not give in to this tiredness as we have not finished crafting the nine blood-burning essences, and we will stop until we do that.
Time passed as we added one ingredient after another; there were over a hundred of them, and each one would incite a reaction.
It was quite long before we finally finished adding the last of the ingredient, and now the only thing had remained was the dense simmering solution in the pot, which was giving off a cold feeling.
"With this one, we will be finished," I said and took out a wooden box and handed it to the old woman. The old woman did not open the box and instead looked at me.
"Whatever this you want to add will spoil the solution and the hard work we had just put in," she said while motioning to the box.
"It will not mess up with the solution; it will just make little more special than it already is," I replied, to which she looked at me intently and continued for more than a minute.
"I don't recommend it, but since Bradford had told me to believe in you, I will," She said and opened the box. Inside it, the box is finger size pink diamond.
Seeing the diamond, both Jim and Grandmaster Salvodors eyes became wide, and I could see the desire in their eye. They immediately understood that it was a secret to special solutions, and they wanted to get their hands on it badly.
"What is it?" the old woman asked me with a frown as she investigated it, and I couldn't help but laugh in my mind thinking about what she had found.
Dub!
"Just something special," I replied, and I could tell the response had made her a little angry, but seeing she would not get any answer from me, she just threw the diamond into the pot and densely covered the pot with her soul energy like Jim and Grandmaster Salvador.
They expected a big reaction from the pot, but they had got none; the pot just kept simmering like before as the pink diamond got melted in it without creating even the smallest ruckus.
