Chapter 518: Concocting the Pill
"What do you mean except for one?" with a raised brow, Cal looked at Daire who still kept sucking on a lollipop almost as if he was some kind of 10 years old kid.
"It is exactly what it means." Daire replied with a shrug, "We have collected each ingredient you have listed and told us to find, but that Burnt Ash Lily, we were unable to spot."
"Burnt Ash Lily..." Cal mumbled those three words as he was trying to recall in what kind of region it was living, and soon he found it.
"Give me a second," Cal spoke as he closed his eyes and without further ado activated his Heaven’s Eyes while also channeling massive amounts of his Body Essence into that Power Core.
Khal was puzzled seeing this while Daire, almost as if spotting something moving in the air turned around while a subtle smile formed at the corner of his mouth.
In seconds, inside Cal’s head, everything around him became visible and in a flash his sight expanded over the horizon, allowing him to see and inspect everything inside the whole Sixth Realm as clearly as day!
’This is weird... I really can’t find any.’ Cal thought with a soft frown but decided not to give up his search.
According to his knowledge, Burnt Ash Lily could be found on the side of mountains where once either massive explosions had occurred with only affecting the surroundings a little bit or where lava had flown at some point in time.
Yet, while Cal had already found numerous such areas that fitted the description, he was unable to spot any Burnt Ash Lilies!
"I told you. I have even used one of my skills just to make sure if I could find one, but not even then was I able to spot any." Daire spoke calmly once he turned back around and spotted the frown on Cal’s face.
Opening his eyes with great confusion and a hint of worry, that in a second quickly vanished, Cal looked at the boxes on the ground and stood up.
"Oh? You don’t look worried at all. Why is that?"
Cal walked before the boxes and as he opened their lids to check whether Daire and Khal collected the right ones, as there was still the possibility they screwed up, after all there were numerous herbs with the almost identical appearance, he replied, "It’s because I can still search for it inside the other Realms."
"That makes sense, yeah." Daire nodded once.
After making sure each herb was the one he needed, Cal placed all the boxes into his Monarch Ring together with his cauldron and stood up.
"You can stay here and cultivate. I will go and see if I can find the last herb within the Zero Realm," Cal directed his words at Khal, who after hearing them while looking reluctant knew it was better to stay behind.
The reason? It was because he was a cultivator, one who although succeeded in reaching the Sixth Realm and becoming an existence that only a few could achieve to be, he still was not at the very apex of the cultivation world.
And to achieve that, he had to cultivate, which just like in all the previous Realms, in the Sixth Realm was also a must!
"Don’t worry, I am pretty sure it won’t take me a long time to find it." Cal asserted before he waved his hand and vanished from his spot, appearing right above a mountain’s peak within the Zero Realm.
[The Zero Realm is around a hundred times larger than the Sixth Realm. Even with your massive amount of essence, I doubt you can cover the entirety of the Zero Realm with your Heaven’s Eyes.]
’Who said I will need to use my Heaven’s Eyes?’ Cal asked with a soft smile and raised his hand, showing Nova his Monarch Ring.
’I just have to think about it and I can easily teleport wherever I want. This is one of the privileges of being the Lord of the Zero Realm.’
[Show off...]
Cal just smiled before he concentrated on his Monarch Ring and teleported into the area where he suspected the Burnt Ash Lily could be found.
It was a large crater surrounded by a withered forest. The side of the crater was filled with fissures and holes, each differing in size, width, and length. There were even long, solidified masses of igneous rock all over the place, probably the result of magma or flowing lava getting cooled down and solidified.
Cal looked at the crater from above using his Heaven’s Eyes and soon enough his lips curved upward.
"That was easier than I have thought."
Almost at the very bottom, Cal could see a small flower that had the appearance of a lily, but with the sole difference that its petals were gray as ash while the edges of it had a faint red color, almost as if it was burnt!
After summoning his Everlasting Garden and replicating it with a single wave of his hand, Cal used his Monarch Ring and appeared back inside the Sixth Realm.
However, while he was only a few minutes at most inside the Zero Realm, in truth, within the Sixth Realm an entire week has passed, hence the moment Cal finally appeared Khal was not surprised to see him.
"Success?"
"Yes. Now it’s time to create the pill." Cal nodded but before he began he quickly made sure to replicate all the herbs Daire had once given to him.
"I am ready," Cal said once he finished and after he summoned his cauldron and other tools that will help him concoct the Twin Soul Separating Pill he started.
As for Khal, although he wished to watch Cal creating the pill, as he knew he would not be able to learn anything nor would he be able to help, he decided to just sit down and keep cultivating in silence.
On the other hand, Daire, who was sitting on a tree all this time stared at Cal with a calm smile, seemingly curious and at the same time enjoying the way Cal was creating his pill.
