Realm of Myths and Legends

Chapter 871: Eight Supreme Remedies

While Sylvia and Jade were collecting the ingredients Izroth listed, Seina, accompanied by Sychia, decided to escort him to her personal crafting room.

As for Olivia, after Seina issued her warning, she no longer pursued the matters at hand and left peacefully. However, based on her previous bold actions, Izroth did not believe that was the end of things.

Whether or not she was the main source or a part of those who went out of their way to poison the Holy Maiden—Izroth had no proof.

In the end, it was not uncommon for someone in Olivia's position to seek more power when it was made available. But, making borderline baseless speculations and having proof were two separate things. After all, the two could simply be on unfavorable terms.

Besides, there was something Izroth noticed back in the room that raised some doubts.

For one, when Seina stood to her foot and reprimanded her, Izroth did not see any fear on Olivia's face. Instead, what he saw was submission.

If Olivia did have something to do with poisoning a peak legendary figure, unless she was a good actor, the first response she would have had to Seina standing was fear. That's because she would have been well aware of the consequences if she had direct ties to those responsible.

Under that kind of pressure, faced alone with Seina, it would have been virtually impossible for her to completely hide all traces of fear. This was even more so under Izroth's watchful gaze.

'If she really does have nothing to do with it, I suppose it's back to square one.'

"So long as it's a place without disturbances, I will find a way to make do," Izroth responded calmly.

"Rest assured. Without my permission, no one is permitted to set foot in this place." Seina said as she pushed open the wooden door.

Although it seemed like an ordinary wooden door, Izroth could feel a mysterious energy flowing through it. In addition, when Seina placed her hand on the door, it felt as though the wood was alive and resonated with her.

When the doors opened, a strong medicinal smell filled Izroth's nostrils.

The room itself was spacious. There were several bookshelves lined up along the walls, and near the back of the room was a sturdy desk with a single chair behind it.

There were also various magic formations that Izroth was unfamiliar with inside the room. However, upon closer observation, Izroth was able to uncover some general uses regarding some of the more basic functions.

'Based on the magic sequences involved, it should have something to do with environmental and temperature control. There are also some defensive magic formations that were probably designed to protect against the potential fallout that can occur when crafting high-grade pills. This place must have cost quite a fortune to build. However, it's not surprising considering she is a grade seven Apothecary.'

Izroth had already amassed quite the amount of wealth as a grade three Apothecary. But, if he was a grade seven Apothecary like Seina, the top guilds would have to give up more than just a few gold coins to acquire even a single grade seven pill!

'Still, this place is impressive. It looks like I will have to upgrade the Apothecary floor in the Mystical Realm Palace when I return.'

As this thought crossed Izroth's mind, his eyes landed on a silver and gold cauldron located at the center of the room.

Three fangless serpents were painted on the cauldron's side as the item itself emitted a mighty yet calm aura.

Name: Cauldron of the White Night(Magical Item)

Rank: SS

Durability: 250,000/250,000

Current Fire Core: White Flames of Night(SS)

Usage: A mighty cauldron crafted using the finest of metals and the inner linings of a fire sack from the legendary White Night Serpent. It can be used by apothecaries to create pills that are grade nine or lower.

Special Note: This cauldron contains many secrets.

Seina approached the cauldron as she brushed her fingertips across its edges.

"I would offer its use to it, but... It appears that will not be necessary. Am I correct in my assumption?" Seina said as she glanced over at Izroth's armlet.

"When did you notice?" Izroth inquired as the armlet attached to him transformed into the Dark Abyssal Cauldron and landed before him.

"Such a powerful medicinal aroma can only be formed by a cauldron after it has processed a countless number of pills. Even if its physical appearance has been altered, my nose has never deceived me." Seina replied.

"Oh? Even though there's no smell?" Izroth noted.

Despite his enhanced senses, Izroth did not smell any such aroma coming from his Dark Abyssal Cauldron in its armlet state.

"As I've said, my nose has never deceived me, Apothecary Izroth. It can be considered a small talent." Seina commented as she examined Izroth's cauldron.

She then continued, "What a wild yet impressive cauldron. It does not compare to my Cauldron of the White Night, but... That is not to say that it will not be able to one day equal or surpass it. It would seem that you have come across quite the treasure."

'As expected from a high-ranking Apothecary at the peak of the legendary realm. It's difficult for something to hide from her gaze.'

"Still, using a B-ranked fire core for such a treasure seems like a waste," Seina remarked.

She looked over at Sychia and said, "Sy, bring out a suitable fire core from my personal storage for our Honorary Saint."

"Yes, master." Sychia gestured respectfully before she moved to carry out her task.

"I'm afraid here is where I must excuse myself for a while, Apothecary Izroth. If there is anything you require, feel free to request it from my disciple. She will be sure to accommodate you appropriately. I shall return by the time the materials you have requested arrive." Seina said as she made her way towards the door.

"As your temporary physician, I would like to remind you that you are still experiencing a second wind effect from consuming the Evil Cleansing Pill. Pushing yourself too far may cause your symptoms to resurface in an even more vicious manner. I'm sure I don't need to remind you, but—you should hold off on doing anything too reckless. At least, until you manage to fully recover." Izroth stated nonchalantly.

Seina suddenly halted her steps. Then, without looking back, she replied, "I have no intention of making any big moves in my current state. Besides, don't you find it quite interesting? How easily one is startled by the drop of a pin in a room filled with silence."

After those words, Seina opened the wooden doors and promptly took her leave.

Once she left, the doors shut tightly as the magic formation bound to it seemed to increase in strength several times over.

'Who would have thought that her master would have such a twisted character? Though I don't necessarily dislike this type of person.'

Despite her twisted character, Seina had clearly drawn lines for those around her. And, if one chose to cross the lines she set with clarity, the Holy Maiden was prepared to do what was needed to maintain the sanctity of those lines.

The most terrifying aspect was that she operated in a natural way, as if her actions were simply second nature to her. That's why on the surface, to most outsiders, Izroth knew that Seina would be regarded as someone with a twisted character. However, in truth, she was merely a person with well-defined principles.

'Hopefully, she does not go too far. After all, it would be a shame to come this far to cure her and walk away empty-handed. For now, let's focus on crafting the first of the Eight Supreme Remedies.'

The Eight Supreme Remedies—this name was unknown within RML. However, back in the Seven Realms, unless one lived under a rock, there was not a single cultivator who did not know that name.

That's because the Eight Supreme Remedies were considered works of miracle!

But, these works of miracles were not created by some almighty cultivator or ancient immortal. In fact, its creator was a young man who had barely stepped into the world of cultivation.

In terms of strength, the young man was below average at best. However, when it came to the art of healing, even those old monsters were not necessarily his equal when it came to understanding the fundamentals and evolving them beyond their limits.

After years of tireless research and experiments, the young man finally succeeded in creating eight new remedies, which later became widely known as the Eight Supreme Remedies.

Each remedy varied greatly in ingredients and technique; however, they all had three things in common.

The first was that each remedy was capable of curing a specific kind of ailment. The other two were simple—efficiency and time.

As for the remedy Izroth planned to craft, it was the first of the Eight Supreme Remedies, the Hundred Death Poisoning Pill!
