"Huh! Stupid! Waste of The Fifth Elder's medicinal herbs." Alec said contemptuously.

Lathel also didn't care about what Alec said, after all, he had heard many insults and contempt for him.

While living on Earth, he went through a lot of suffering, even becoming homeless and dying on a cold bench.

The thing he least saw was beautiful women, he saw most of the coldness of this world.

A few contemptuous words from Alec were just a passing breeze, not worthy of his attention.

But…

Lathel glanced at Radius and saw him gritting his teeth in anger. The expression on Radius's face was as if his whole family had been killed by Alec.

"Oy! Can you concentrate a little?" Lathel interrupted.

"Ah!" Radius was startled like a sleeping person awakened: "Okay! Sorry, I was a bit distracted."

Lathel sighed and shook his head, finding it difficult to trust Radius, but now he had no other choice.

He was stirring the soup pot… ah, no, to be more precise, the soup cauldron.

Lathel stirred and channeled energy into the cauldron, spreading the energy throughout the soup cauldron.

"You are doing very well." Suddenly, Cauldron's voice rang in his head: "Concentrate, continue spreading your energy in this mixture."

"Try to use magical energy to cover the entire cauldron, preventing the medicinal substance from evaporating."

Lathel did as Cauldron said. At this moment, he did not feel tired from using too much energy, but he saw something very strange.

He saw streams of energy moving inside the 'soup' mixture in the cauldron.

There are many streams of energy, the majority being a type of blue energy. Lathel recognized it as his energy flow.

Next was a black energy stream, it was attacking the other small energy streams, however, its speed was decreasing for Lathel's energy stream that was surrounding it.

Lathel was startled, he didn't understand why he saw these lines of energy.

'Could it be that… the Pharmacist Enchanters all see these things?'

'Probably so. After all, I'm just an ordinary supporting character, how can I possess a special ability like this.'

Lathel immediately dismissed the idea that the ability to see those energy currents was a special ability.

He actually thought it was a normal ability that any Pharmacist Enchanter could possess.

Lathel began to control his energy flow to surround that black energy flow.

However, the black energy stream was like a wild horse, it continuously struggled, attacking his energy stream.

Lathel frowned: 'If you had resisted then I would have told you what violence is.'

He controlled his energy flow, attacking that black energy flow.

Of course, he only attacked, scaring that black energy stream.

Just as Lathel thought, the black energy that was attacked was no longer stubborn. It began to coordinate with his energy flow, merging with other energy flows.

After more than 30 minutes, Lathel saw that in the cauldron there were no longer individual streams of energy moving but a mixture of blue energy like sea water.

Lathel nodded with satisfaction, now he felt that this 'soup' was complete.

"Lower the fire." He shouted.

Hearing that, Radius also started to control the fire to reduce it. Radius's body was also full of sweat at this time, his sweat had even soaked his shirt.

"You look so miserable." Lathel pouted and said.

"Huh! Just try keeping the magic fire burning strong like that for a long time."

"Hm… maybe one day I'll try it."

Yes, Lathel had the idea of controlling magical fire, but not for the purpose of preparing herbs but for cooking.

He also didn't want to always have to gather firewood and light a fire, because it takes too much time.

Lathel took a lid, closed the cauldron and said: "Try to keep it like that for another 10 minutes."

"I know!" Radius said grimacing.

"I'm done!" Alec suddenly shouted loudly. He happily held a gray pill in his hand, with two white lines on the pill.

Even though Lathel was standing more than 10 meters away from Alec, he could still smell the strong medicinal scent.

Alec glanced at Lathel and Radius with provocation and disdain, then he clasped his hands, turned to where Liith was sitting, and said loudly: "Fifth Elder, I have completed my test."

Lilith slowly opened her eyes, she stretched her arms, causing her 'two mountains' to vibrate. When Alec saw this scene, his eyes widened, and his heart rate accelerated.

She yawned, slowly stood up, and jumped down while carrying the still sleeping Charlotte.

Seeing this scene, Lathel could only sigh. Charlotte slept like a pig, even though Lilith was carrying her and jumping up and down, she continued to sleep.

After landing, Lilith hugged Charlotte with one arm, glanced at the pill in Alec's hand but didn't care at all.

She hugged Charlotte, walked closer to the cauldron, tilted her head and stared at it: "Lathel… What is in here? It's do fragrant…"

Lathel shrugged and said: "I don't know how to prepare medicinal herbs, but the ingredients you gave me are suitable for me to cook a pot of soup. Do you want to eat?"

Lilith looked at Lathel with interest, and nodded repeatedly: "Um! Um! Um! Of course, how long do we have to wait?"

"About 10 minutes."

"It's okay, I can wait." Just as Lilith finished speaking, Charlotte suddenly moved.

She slowly opened her eyes, her nose moving like a sniffing dog.

Charlotte immediately raised her head, her eyes shining like two stars as she looked towards the cauldron.

The expressions on Charlotte and Lilith's faces were completely the same right now, like two puppies waiting for food.

Seeing this scene, Alec gritted his teeth, he was so angry that his eyes were filled with blood. He couldn't control himself anymore and shouted loudly.

"Fifth Elder, I have completed my exam. I have prepared a good pill, I hope you can take a look."

Lilith turned her head to look at him with somewhat impatient eyes: "I'm not deaf, nor am I blind. Of course I see the pill in your hand, but I don't care."

"You… but I have finished preparing it, you must declare the results of this competition."

"Heh?! What do you mean?" Lilith asked confusedly.

"Of course declare me the winner. I prepared the herbs faster than him, and the quality of this pill is definitely better than his pill."

"Ah! I forgot, hahaha... he was cooking soup, not preparing medicinal herbs. His nonsense soup certainly cannot be compared to my pills."

"That's why… Fifth Elder, please declare the results. And of course, I hope you can keep your promise."

Lilith tilted her head to look at Alec, the way she looked at him was completely different from the way she looked at Lathel.

At this moment, Lilith's eyes only had indifference, she was so indifferent that it made Alec a little worried.

"Are you… stupid?"

"Heh?! You… What the hell are you talking about? Ack! Sorry…" Alec faltered because for a moment, he lost control of his words.

"Sorry, Fifth Elder, but… what are you talking about? I agree you seem to like Lathel more than me, but what you are doing is unfair to me."

"You are an Elder, yet you treat your students unfairly. Aren't you afraid that people will look at you differently? Are you not afraid that your honor will be tarnished?"

Lilith sighed and said: "Alec, I never said that... the winner is the one who prepares the medicine the fastest."

Alec was surprised, that's right, Lilith never said that.

"But… I successfully refined it, he… he can only cook a pot of nonsense soup."

"Hm?! A pot of nonsense soup?" Lilith smiled contemptuously: "Alec, your knowledge is limited to a small well."

"What?!" Alec shouted angrily: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is… the pot of soup you mentioned is nonsense, has more uses than the pill you just made."

"No! I don't believe it!" Alec seemed to lose control of his emotions, and he angrily shouted: "I don't believe it! You tricked me! You are unfair, you…"

"Alec, calm down!" His teacher said, the voice echoed in his head, accompanied by a burst of energy that helped calm Alec.

Alec was immediately startled, his breathing was chaotic, and his heart beat as fast as a war drum.

"I… I…" Alec stammered: "Sorry… sorry Fifth Elder, I lost a bit of control."

Lilith sighed and said: "I understand you think I am unfair. Well then… Alec, after you taste Lathel's soup, if you think this soup is nonsense, then I will declare you the winner."

Hearing that, Alec frowned. He took a deep breath and regained his original confidence: "Good! I also want to see what he can do."

He crossed his arms, his eyes staring at Lathel and the cauldron.

Lathel who was being stared at by everyone felt a bit embarrassed. He spoke up: "You don't need to look at me like that. In fact, this cauldron of soup has no use at all."

Lilith suddenly turned her head and looked towards him: "No, I think this is a wonderful pot of soup."

"Lathel, why are you making soup instead of making a pill like Alec?"

Lathel shook his head: "I said I don't know how to make medicine. Because you forced me, I accepted this contest."

Lilith pouted: "Your words imply that I am a bad person, right?"

"That's right."

"AAA!! It's so heartbreaking..." Lilith's eyes suddenly became wet as if she was about to cry: "You... I told you not to yell at me."

"I'm not yelling at you either, I'm just telling the truth."

"You are a bad person."

"That's right. I am a bad person, if you continue to force me, I will eat you."

Lilith opened her mouth: "Eat me... you... you..."

She bowed her head, her face turned red, and stammered: "If you want to eat me then… I… tonight… come to my room."

Lathel: "…"

'Sister! Are you stupid? I mean eat you, not 'eat' you.'

He felt an extreme headache, as he did not know what Lilith was thinking in her head.

Everything was so chaotic that he didn't even know what he was doing.

"Lathel!" Suddenly, Cauldron's voice rang in his head.

Lathel shouted: "Radius, turn off the fire!"

"Ah! Okay!" Radius heard Lathel shout and immediately withdrew his magic.

The fire was put out, Lathel approached the cauldron, and opened the cauldron lid, a kind of dazzling aura radiated from it, the fragrance from the cauldron then spread throughout the arena.

"The soup is ready."
