Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur waited on the side of his two cauldrons for hours until all the materials were soaked with his concentrated potion fluid and totally absorbed all the fluid.

The materials swelled up and filled the entire cauldrons and even bulged a little above it\'s top.

\'Ding! These materials look really different than before,\' the system couldn\'t help but say when Arthur started to evacuate the two cauldrons out of the materials.

"They got changed thanks to the fluid," Arthur said while starting to group the materials in large groups, "and that will make them quite strong and able to release my golden energy in high concentrations."

\'Ding! Then how do you plan to make that trigger?\'

"By making a potion," Arthur said, "the same potion here I\'ll use for each person."

\'Ding! This will need a large number of people.\'

"That\'s a given," Arthur smiled, "when Gege comes back I\'ll ask her to spread the word, we need many villagers and I think those living here are enough."

\'Ding! But that man you saved hasn\'t woken up yet.\'

"Let him rest," Arthur smiled, "I\'m not in a hurry."

\'Ding! The war is drawing near.\'

"I\'ve a plan," Arthur just said before adding, "And I\'ll need Gege for that as well."

\'Ding! She will be excited by that overwhelming work… in fact she gives me the vibe of a little girl.\'

"Me too," Arthur laughed before clearing all the cauldrons from the materials. "Will they be enough?" he couldn\'t be satisfied yet as he knew he needed to make the pills for a really large number of people.

\'Ding! Make more than,\' the system laughed, \'Ding! Your rings are full to the prim with materials now.\'

"You are right," Arthur closed his eyes for a brief minute, "the golden energy regeneration rate is really slow but what I have now can be enough to sustain three more tries."

Arthur then started to fill the cauldrons with water. To do that he held the cauldron and flew directly to the lake before drowning himself deep under the water for a few minutes before flying away.

This way he made sure each cauldron would be filled to the top with the purified Golam\'s blood.

He first used his energy to form his potion liquid before he threw a large number of materials into each cauldron.

After long hours of working and waiting that extended beyond two days he finally had enough materials to be used to make the pills.

"It\'s showtime," Arthur rubbed his hands before revising the formula one last time.

\'Ding! Are you sure these materials won\'t interact together?\' the system asked in doubt while Arthur started to use the small cauldron for his first test.

"I\'m using two different sets of materials, one is active and the other is introverted. Until I release the trigger the odds for the two materials to interact together are low."

Arthur then started to mix the materials of the first set together first. He used the Golam\'s purified blood for now and even injured himself and let a few of his blood be added to the mix.

Once the materials got mixed well and became slightly concentrated he started to put the second set and then waited.

"Rumble!"

All of sudden the cauldron rumbled before flying to the sky like a rocket. Arthur speechlessly watched it rise to a very high altitude before slamming down the ground causing another violent explosion.

"Is it fine?" Arthur hurriedly ran towards the cauldron and luckily this sturdy little one didn\'t have any damage.

\'Ding! I told you,\' the system sighed, \'Ding! Materials can\'t be predicted.\'

"I agree," Arthur held the cauldron and returned to the fire place, "but this isn\'t something I can control from the first try."

\'Ding! Then what are you going to do now?\'

"I\'ll analyze what happened first," Arthur found a small amount of materials burnt at the depth of the cauldron. "What happened to you?" he muttered to himself before taking a small part of these materials and tasted it.

"Damn! It\'s so spicy," he even coughed and sneezed for a dozen times before he could control himself. "These materials ignited mightier than I expected… I need to decrease the amount of the active form and increase those introverted ones."

\'Ding! I still say it\'s too soon to predict something good.\'

"I agree," Arthur nodded, "but with each failure we grow, right?"

Arthur then washed the cauldron first before adding another batch of materials. This time he didn\'t put in too much, only enough to make a dozen pills at most.

"Let\'s see what you\'ll do this time," he put the two sets in ratio one to two, and waited.

"Boom!"

This time the explosion wasn\'t massive like the previous one, yet all the materials inside were burnt down and released a dense tongue of black smoke.

\'Ding! Told you.\'

"Just shut up!"

After twenty times of trials and failing all, Arthur\'s patience was already running thin. "What\'s wrong here?" He deeply contemplated these failures, recalling what happened and what he modified each time.

It wasn\'t easy to predict what the materials would react as the system kept warning him all the time. But he hoped to manage to crack the solution this way, or else the time needed to make the right pill would take much longer.

"Sigh, no option then," he looked at the cauldron before adding, "I need to make the two pills first before breaking them down and mixing them together."

\'Ding! You can do that?!\' The system was surprised. \'Ding! I thought once you make the pill you can\'t return it to the material phase.\'

"I\'m not aiming to make them return to the material phase," Arthur shook his head, "I\'ll break them by melting them down and mix the end results together to form the final one."

\'Ding! Will you succeed? Can you control the end product?\'

"I… dunno," Arthur flew and took the large cauldron to the Golam\'s lake, "but I won\'t stop trying until I crack a solution here."

\'…\'
