Gigi stomped her feet anxiously as Sandra swallowed the Black Power Pill. Since there was nothing else she could do, she just had to wait for the effect.
Sofia was anticipating it as well. On the contrary, Darryl was just standing there, looking very relaxed.
Five minutes went by very quickly. Gigi could not wait any longer. She was certain that the elixir Darryl produced was a fake. However, Sandra suddenly looked very excited.
"Gigi!" Sandra grabbed Gigi's hand excitingly. She was almost screaming in joy. "The elixir works! My power had increased by a level. It really is the Black Power Pill."
Due to her excitement, her voice trembled, and her face blushed. She looked so alluring.
'It works?' Gigi was stunned to see how excited Sandra was. She could feel that Sandra's internal energy was stronger, and Sandra was more energetic. She thought that Darryl was fooling them by simply producing two elixirs. She could not believe that Darryl had produced the Black Power Pill, and he had made two!
"Sect Master, you are so brilliant!" Sofia was very excited too. She clapped her hand and praised him. "Your attainment in elixir production is so fascinating. You manage to make two Black Power Pills in such a short time. I've read a prescription fragment. It stated that an Elixir Master needed to use at least an hour to produce one Black Power Pill. But you only needed less than a one-tenth of that, Master. What an eye-opening experience!"
She looked at Darryl with respect and admiration when she talked.
Gigi was stunned. She could not speak for a long time as she looked at Darryl dumbfoundedly. 'I thought he had used something to daze my master so my master would appoint him as the head of the Elixir Sector. He totally blew my mind—he is capable of producing elixirs. Not just that, his attainment is beyond my imagination. But he looks so young. How can he be more impressive than those Elixir Masters back in the ancient days?'
It was the same thing for Sandra. She had experienced the effect of the Black Power Pill, so her feelings were much more profound. She stared at Darryl and did not know what to say. 'I had misunderstood him for a long time. I thought it was a coincidence for him to be the head of the Elixir Sector. I've fooled myself instead.'
Darryl smiled as he enjoyed Gigi and Sandra's reactions. He put the other Black Power Pill in Sandra's hand. "There are two of them. You ate one, so you can bring this one back. But, of course, based on our relationship, I'm embarrassed to let you take just one elixir back."
Thus, Darryl instructed Sofia. "Go and light up the other elixir cauldrons. And also prepare some herbs." He decided to produce all the elixirs that Sandra had brought to him. That was only a test. It was time for him to show them what he could do.
'What?' Gigi and Sandra trembled and were utterly stunned. 'There are ten elixir cauldrons here. And he wants to light up each of them? What is he going to do?'
Sofia was dumbfounded. Her eyes widened as she had difficulty thinking straight. A few seconds later, she asked, "Sect Master, are you prepared to use all ten elixir cauldrons at one time?" Her voice was trembling as she spoke the last few words.
According to the prescription's fragment, no one could use so many elixir cauldrons at once. As the legend told, the Elixir Master from Cryolet Continent, Master Luvin, could only use three elixir cauldrons at once. However, Darryl had wanted to use ten elixir cauldrons at once.
'That is too shocking!' Sofia could feel her brain buzzing, and her fundamental knowledge of life had been overturned.
Darryl smiled plainly. "Yes. What's so shocking about using ten elixir cauldrons at once? I could use more if we have more." He was not boasting. With his skills, he would have no problem using 20 elixir cauldrons at once.
