After waiting for an hour for the pill to complete the process, Jason couldn't help but asked.
"I believe you must have been into the art of pills making for a long time grand elder, so I want to know if it is possible to make a pill that can cure any illness" asked Jason as he finally have a way to save his mother and since the elder can make a pill for treating internal injuries then there shouldn't be a problem with making a pill for his mother illness.
"There is but the problem is no one has ever been able to make one that could cure any illness" replies the elder as he turns to look at Jason with an awkward smile on his face.
"And I thought you could make one" said Jason in disappointment.
"Is someone close to you sick for you to asked this question" asked the elder.
"It's my mother, she had been ill for a long time and had tried our possible best for a cure but there was never any so I thought maybe you could make one" replied Jason.
"I am sorry that I couldn't be of any help" said the grand elder as he turn his gaze back to the furnace.
"By the way, what were you doing in the beast territory" added the grand elder.
"What were you there that day" asked Jason in shock.
"I happened to be passing by when I saw you trying to shake off the beast. You were lucky that there was a formation protecting the family territory else you won't be standing here right now" reply the grand elder as he stared at Jason waiting for him to speak up.
"Well, I went there to get herbs for my mother's treatment since it is hard for us to afford them in the market".
"I see, now that you are working for me you won't be short of herbs so don't go into the beast territory anymore" said the grand elder.
"Thank you grand elder" replied Jason with a bow.
"It is nothing besides it is the duty of us alchemists to save the mass from any illness and injuries, so you can treat it as me treating your mother" commented the grand elder.
"Nice one kid, I thought you were going to tell him, but I never knew you were this good at lying without blinking" said the bracelet.
"What other choice do I have other than to lie to him" replied Jason.
While he was talking to the bracelet, the furnace began to bring out steam which signifies that the refining process is done. Getting up from the chair as he went to open the furnace with Jason followed by his side and the moment he opened the furnace, energy busted out with Jason moving back.
"You don't need to be scared, it's just the energy that sips out of the pills" said the grand elder as he cloaks his hand with spiritual energy before picking the pills.
"Who said I was running, I was just making space for you to pick them up" replied Jason in a composed manner.
"But I saw you moving back in panic" said the grand elder.
"I wasn't, so is the pill refining a success" asked Jason with a smile on his face.
'Now he is changing the topic, this kid is really something' thought the grand elder before opening his palm for Jason to see for him.
Now looking at the pills in the grand elder's palm which was sky blue in color, Jason was amazed since it is the first time he is seeing a pill being created.
"I guess he must have wasted a lot of resources for him to be able to create this much" said the bracelet in mockery.
"Do you have a problem with him for you to be like this" asked Jason.
"Not at all kid, it's just that I can't stand seeing stuff like this and it is the same with him if he saw someone concocting a pill wrongly so you can't blame me" replied the bracelet.
Seeing Jason just staring at the pills in amazement, the grand elder couldn't help but chuckle as he said.
"You can have two pills as a reward for winning the tournament".
"Thanks, grand elder" said Jason as he took the pills from the grand elder before asking.
"But I thought the reward for winning the tournament is to work in alchemy"
"It is and this is from me personally" replied the grand elder.
Keeping the pills, Jason turned to the grand elder and asked.
"Now that you are done making the pills, what do you plan to make next".
"Well, I need to rest up before thinking of concocting anything for now" replied the grand elder.
"So I won't be coming tomorrow then" ask Jason.
"Did you hear me say I won't be coming tomorrow" replied the grand elder.
"I thought it would take you days to recover considering your age" said Jason with a smile.
The grand elder couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"I will need hours to recover, so don't think of finding excuses to be absent tomorrow else I will give you the punishment I promised in the tournament" replied the grand elder.
When Jason heard the grand elder warning and seeing how serious he is, he quickly smiled awkwardly as he waved his hand while saying.
"You don't have to say that grand elder, of course I will be coming tomorrow".
"You better be. So when are you going to take the pill" asked the grand elder.
"That will have to wait until later since I still have a lot to do" replied Jason.
"And what do you still need to do" asked the grand elder.
"I still need to clean the furnace or should I let it be with all the dirt around it" reply Jason.
"Take your time then, I am going to take a rest, and don't forget to close the door before you leave" said the grand elder before walking out of the alchemy room.
Creation is hard, cheer me up! VOTE for me!
After the grand elder has left the room, Jason went to shut the door with a smile on his face as he said.
"Now I have the leftovers for myself".
Picking a good spot to cultivate, Jason begin to cultivate heaven's law as the energy inside the room behind to gash towards him with his body greedily absorbing all the energy until there was none left. Jason was all smiles as he gets up from the ground before cleaning the place and was just about to leave when the bracelet suddenly spoke up.
"Wait kid, ain't you going to take the pill that was given to you".
"I am going it all to my mother who needs it more than I do" replied Jason.
"This pill is not strong enough to cure her of her illness, all it could do was relief her of the pain so it would be a great waste for you to use it on her" said the bracelet.
"I don't care if it is only going to relieve her of the pain, I am still giving her the pills" reply Jason.
Leaving the alchemy room after he was done with the cleaning, Jason head back to the tent where he saw Hannah sitting outside while staring at the sun In a daze. Seeing her like this, Jason couldn't help chuckled as he said.
"What are you looking at".
Hearing the voice that was not too far from her, Hannah turn to take a look before fixing her gaze back to the sun.
"What has gotten into this girl, where is the hug I usually get when I return home" said Jason to himself in puzzlement as he stare at Hannah.
Unknowing to Jason, Hannah didn't know he was back as she just continue to stare at the sun in a daze until she heard the sound of someone clearing his or her throat that she was able to notice that Jason was the one standing. Seeing Jason put a smile on her as she ran to hug him.
"What took you so long to get back" asked Hannah after Separating herself from his embrace.
"I was really busy helping the grand elder out with his pill refining which is why I am late" reply Jason with a smile on his face.
"I hope he didn't treat you badly while you were there" asked Hannah as she stare at Jason while waiting for answers.
"Of course not, the grand elder is so nice to me and even thought me a lot of things that I don't know a thing about. He even gave me pills that can heal internal injuries as a reward for winning the tournament" replied Jason as he brought out the pills for Hannah to see.
Looking at the two pills in Jason's hand, the only word that could come out of her mouth was.
"Beautiful".
"I know you will love it, I also had the same feeling when I saw it" replied Jason with a smile.
"So when are you going to take the pill big brother" asked Hannah.
"I am not going to take it, I think it will be a waste for me to take it since mother's condition is getting worst, I think this pill will be able to make her feel better" reply Jason.
"Thought so thoughtful of you big brother, I thought you will be so greedy to share the pill with others but I was wrong" said Hannah sincerely.
"Yes I am greedy to share the pill for myself unlike you who will not hesitate to take it all down" replied Jason with a chuckle.
"I am going to make you regret you ever said that" said Hannah in anger as she ran into the tent in tears.
"How is she crying all of a sudden when I didn't even touch her" said Jason as he looked at the tent and that is when the realization hit him.
"Oh shit, she's faking it so that mother will punish me".
Not long after Hannah went into the tent in tears, Clara's voice could be heard as she work out of the tent with Hannah by her side who has a smile on her face.
'I can't believe she told mother that I bully her' thought Jason.
After coming out of the tent, Clara stare at Jason as she said.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to bully your younger sister".
"I didn't mother, she just ran into the tent crying all of a sudden" reply Jason.
"Is that true" asked Clara as she turned to Hannah.
"Don't listen to him mother he is lying, just take a look at how he reacted when you came out" replied Hannah.
"I will let you off this time but if you ever bully Hannah again, then you will have yourself to blame for it" said Clara with a sigh as she already knows what is happening.
"Yes, mother" replied Jason as he took a peek at Hannah whose tongue was stuck out.
"You little she-devil" mutter Jason in a voice that only he can hear.
"So how was your time at the alchemy" asked Clara.
"It was great mother, I even have a gift for you" replied Jason with a smile as he brought out the pills for his mother to see.
"What is this pill you have with you Jason, have you started making pills on your time day" asked Clara as she took one of the pills to exam it.
"No mother, it was the grand elder who gave it to me after he was successful in making it and according to him, it heals internal injuries so I kept it for you to use" reply Jason with a smile.
"I don't know if this pill will be able to cure me of my illness so I will be keeping this one while you take the other since you might need it in the future" said Clara with a warm smile on her face as she went back into the tent.
