Jared nodded. “That’s fine by me!” “In that case, I’ll have someone prepare a cauldron for you.” Isaac was about to give the order, but Jared stopped him and said, “That won’t be necessary. I brought my own cauldron.”
Jared then retrieved Divine Cauldron from his Storage Ring. Isaac froze and went wide-eyed with shock when he saw Divine Cauldron. “H-Isn’t that the legendary Divine Cauldron?” he asked while trembling all over in excitement. “This is just a fake, so you don’t have to get that excited…” Jared explained when he saw Isaac’s response.
“What? It’s fake?” Whatever excitement Isaac had a second ago was gone in an instant. He then waved at the air, and a cauldron flew in front of him.
“You’re the head of Medicine God Sect, aren’t you? Do you seriously think you can beat me with that fake cauldron of yours?” Isaac asked in disdain. Jared simply flashed him a smile and made no attempt to explain himself. “Shall we begin?”
Isaac nodded. “Sure!” To their surprise, Matthew stepped in and said, “No, this is way too unfair for Jared! You guys have to gather the herbs yourselves. How would he know the exact locations of your herbs? You’re the head of Alchemical Sect, so you would know where the herbs are even with your eyes closed! You have an unfair advantage right from the start!”
“In that case, I’ll give him a thirty-minute head start. That should make it fair, right?” Isaac asked. “That won’t be necessary. I would have finished synthesizing the pill by then, so there would be no competition at all,” Jared said with a wave.
Isaac let out a disdainful snort. “Hmph! You shouldn’t get so full of yourself just because it’s a Level Three pill! There’s no way you could possibly synthesize it in thirty minutes!”
“Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t either.” Jared then turned toward Matthew and continued, “Mr. Campbell, you can be the judge of this showdown. Go ahead and start the timer!”
Matthew had wanted to persuade Jared further, but he held his tongue when he saw the confident look on Jared’s face and recalled how Generation Stone had exploded. Realizing that Jared was probably no ordinary person, he decided to see what Jared was capable of.
“The time starts now!” Matthew said while glancing at the clock. Isaac then leaped into the air and headed straight for the mountains on both sides of Alchemical Sect, which had lots of herbs growing on them.
Jared simply stood there and sniffed the air for the scent of herbs. A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Moments later, both Jared and Isaac returned
at the same time with the exact same ingredients, much to Isaac’s surprise. He has no idea where the herbs are grown, so how is he able to find them and bring them back here as quickly as I did?
Isaac then quickly regained his composure and dumped the ingredients into his pill cauldron. A flame appeared on his palm as he made a pushing motion. The next thing everyone knew, a huge flame started burning at the bottom of the pill cauldron.
Isaac flashed Jared a disdainful smirk and was about to mouth off, but the words were stuck in his throat when he looked at Jared. A light blue flame danced about on his palm immediately after he dumped the herbs into. Divine Cauldron.
Jared then tossed the blue flame into Divine Cauldron, causing it to burn strongly while emitting a golden glow. A fragrant herbal aroma soon came from Divine Cauldron and filled the air around them.
Isaac gasped in shock as the fragrant aroma was a sign that the pill was almost done. Isaac’s eyes were filled with greed as he stared at Divine Cauldron. “That’s the real Divine Cauldron! Why did you say it was a fake?”
