SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

"Master, can young master Kent really handle that big cauldron?" Lambu questioned while licking his dry rations.

"Why are you asking such nonsense questions? The Clark family blood is running inside him. The cauldron spirit will obey his command." Mohini replied without moving her gaze from Kent, who is mediating on the large boulder of the purple mountains.

"But he is very new to potion brewing. Can he really handle the temperature? Even you took a lot of time to learn the fire control on king-sized cauldrons." Lambu asked with a thoughtful look.

But in the next second, a heavy weight fell on his back. Realizing his slipped tongue, Lambu hurriedly apologized in a pleading tone.

"Sorry… Sorry, master. Mine is a mud brain. I forgot how talented you are. You are the best of the best among all. Please pardon me this one time." Lambu cried out while clutching his dry ration.

Perched atop a massive boulder amidst the purple mountains, Kent stood tall beside the towering Phoenix fire cauldron.

Opening his eyes, Kent channeled his aura onto the glowing fire seed of the phenix cauldron. "Buzz…" The firestorm erupted, covering the entire cauldron in violet-colored flames.

"What the hell?!!!" Kent took a step back, cutting down the supply of his aura.

"At this rate, I will be exhausted in ten minutes. It seems like I should peak my aura saturation before igniting this cauldron." Kent muttered as he took out a spirit stone from his bracelet.

Sitting in Lotus Position, Kent absorbed the energy from the aura stone. After exhausting two spirit stones, he opened his eyes and ignited the phenix cauldron by channeling his aura.

With a solemn determination etched upon his features, Kent began the intricate process of brewing the elixir of Lingzhi Mist.

After one moment of careful attempt, he is able to balance the fire below medium flame, as mentioned in the potion manual. Keeping an eye on the blazing fire of the couldron, Kent tossed one portion of Lingzhi mushroom.

The bioluminescent glow of the mountains covered the glowing cauldron with distant eyes. With an excited smile, Kent continued to add the ingredients one after another.

"Boom…"

A loud explosion occurred suddenly. All the contents turned into black powder and were tossed out of the cauldron due to a loud blast. The fire was automatically extinguished. With an angry face, Kent took the manual to search for his mistake.

"Damn, how could I miss this?" Kent muttered while staring at the manual. He forgot to reduce the temperature while adding'morning honey dew', which is going to liquify the powdery herbs.

After exhausting another spirit stone, Kent again ignited the phenix cauldron. Time passed in the silent night. The process of concocting the Lingzhi mist elixir continued. After burning down five sets of materials, he succeeded in his sixth attempt.

But the quality of the elixir is very pure, with a bit of a black shade to the golden elixir. In total, he exhausted 11 spirit stones till now, burning almost 11,000 gold coins.

He is able to produce the basic quality elixir in the 7th and 8th attempts. Satisfied with the golden-colored Lingzhi mist elixir, Kent decided to use the king-ranked Lingzhi mushroom for brewing the potion this time.

He exhausted the 13th spirit stone and peaked his aura energy before igniting the cauldron.

Gathering his focus, Kent carefully measured out the top eight herbs required for the elixir brewing. King-ranked Lingzhi mushroom, Mist leaf fern, Green Lotus leaflets, Sunflower Tears, Star Orchid, Shadow Moss, Sunfire crystal powder, and Spring Jasmine. Each herb held its own unique properties, essential for the delicate balance of the elixir.

With practiced precision, Kent added the herbs one by one into the massive cauldron, their aromas mingling in the air with the crackling flames of the violet-colored fire. As the ingredients simmered and melded together, Kent stirred the mixture with his aura energy, his movements fluid and precise.

The Lingzhi mushroom, known for its potent healing properties, infused the elixir with a soothing essence, while the Mist Leaf Fern added a hint of vitality and vigor. The Green Lotus leaflets lent an ethereal fragrance to the brew, imbuing it with a sense of serenity and calm.

With practiced ease, Kent controlled the flame while adding the 'morning honey dew.'

As the elixir began to take shape, Kent added the final ingredients: the horned root, soul balm tulsi, and royal jelly.

With bated breath, Kent watched as the elixir transformed before his eyes, its colors shifting and swirling like wisps of mist in the breeze. His aura is flowing at great expense, and sweat began pouring all over his body.

As the final moments of the brewing process approached, he whispered a silent prayer, his heart filled with hope.

Finally, as the first rays of the Guardian Sun danced upon the purple mountains, Kent carefully extinguished the flames of the phenix cauldron. Inside the elixir of Lingzhi mist is shimmering a golden glow.

With trembling hands, he filled a small glass vial with the precious liquid; its golden glow radiated as the elixir fell drop by drop into the small veil.

As he held the vial aloft, Kent saw the golden flakes shining inside the elixir, along with a glittery mist formed along the walls of the glass veil. He felt a sense of accomplishment as the elixir reached a medium-perfect grade.

"It seems the Yang family girl is lucky." Kent muttered with an exhausted look as a mad smile tugged on his lips.

After carefully placing the phenix cauldron back inside the Pegasus bracelet, Kent collected all the remaining herbs and covered all the clues to his activity.

He woke up his Fire Kirin, who was sleeping peacefully by his side. Within a few moments, he reached the Yang family residence. After quickly checking for Sophia, he silently reached the Yang family main building.

With a confident look, he began walking towards Amelia's room.

"Sir, what are you doing here?" Suddenly, Linda, the head servant, stopped Kent, who is entering Amelia's room.

Controlling his racing heart, Kent turned towards Linda. "I want to check her condition before leaving. Is something wrong?" Kent asked authoritatively.

Instead of doubting Kent, Linda smiled happily. "That's really very generous of you. Please go in, sir." Linda bowed and left, walking.

With a relieved sigh, Kent opened the door and stepped inside Amelia's room.
