Quincy had always thought Darryl was useless except for some of his tricks. How could he possibly know how to make the Dousing Pills?
F*ck!
Darryl was so annoyed to hear what Quincy had said; he laughed bitterly. Then, he looked at Quincy and said, "Your Highness, the Ghost Valley Sage was sure that I could make it. If you don't believe that I can do it, do you also not believe in the Ghost Valley Sage?"
Darryl had enough of Quincy, who never missed a chance to embarrass him.
"Who would know for sure if you're capable of refining elixirs?" Quincy responded in an angry tone.
Darryl did not want to comment any further, so he merely smiled and said, "Then let's wait and see..."
"What a glib..."
The Empress gazed helplessly at the two who were arguing; she shook her head and smiled bitterly. Then, she ordered the eunuch beside her to summon all the Elixir Masters in the palace.
Soon, five Elixir Masters from the palace entered the hall. At the same time, they had prepared a few dozens of elixir cauldrons exclusively made available for the royal families.
"Alright," the Empress said slowly. "Hurry and refine the pills. Take it seriously and make no mistake."
Those Dousing Pills had everything to do with the fate of the South Cloud World. Hence they had to ensure that things were in order.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The five Elixir Masters responded before they began to refine the pills.
Darryl joined them— they picked the materials skillfully, controlled the fire, and then started the refinery process.
There were 30 elixir cauldrons and five Elixir Masters, so each of them had to care for six elixir cauldrons simultaneously. When Darryl joined them, he took the initiative to handle five of the elixir caldrons.
So, Darryl and the five other Elixir Masters in the palace took care of five elixir cauldrons each at the same time.
The Empress and hundreds of civil and military officials studied Darryl closely while he worked; they had serious and complicated expressions on their faces.
They noticed that Darryl was quite skillful in refining elixirs and pills.
No ordinary Elixir Masters could refine elixirs and pills for the royals. However, the five Elixir Masters from the palace had attained a high proficiency in refining elixirs. It was an exceptional achievement to take care of five elixir cauldrons at the same time.
