An Understated Dominance

As dusk fell, Dustin stood before the alchemy furnace in the tavern’s kitchen. With mystical pure energy, he meticulously controlled the fire’s temperature.

Grace worked efficiently and gathered all the precious herbs within just an hour. She even arranged for a top- quality alchemy furnace to be delivered.

Following ancient methods, he began crafting the tablet to dispel Alicia’s witchcraft.

Witchcraft was similar to parasitic poison, but it was even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Fortunately, Dustin had considerable knowledge of witchcraft and an extensive understanding of secret techniques. So, concocting the antidote presented no challenge for him.

Suddenly, Grace entered the kitchen and said solemnly, “We have a crisis. I’ve received word that Alicia’s condition has suddenly worsened, and she’s on the brink of death. We must leave now.”

“Her condition has worsened? How did this happen?” He frowned and continued, “I’d already contained the voodoo in Alicia’s body with the ethereal resurgence technique.

“As long as they didn’t remove the needles, a couple more days would’ve been fine. How come her condition deteriorated in just a few hours?”

Grace quickly explained, “Someone took matters into their own hands and brought in Kenan Quake, a skilled doctor from the martial world.

“Without knowing the whole situation, he removed the silver needles and caused Alicia’s condition to worsen.

“He tried everything, but nothing worked. That’s why Aurora called me just now and urged us to rush over and save Alicia.”

“I told them not to remove the needles. Why wouldn’t they listen? It’s just making things worse!” Dustin rubbed his temples.

He had initially intended to craft the tablet and gradually dispel the voodoo using his mystical pure energy. However, this complication significantly complicated the task.

She frowned. “This isn’t the time to dwell on that. You need to come with me right away and do everything you can to save Alicia.”

“Give me a few more minutes to finish crafting these tablets.” He didn’t budge.

Dealing with Voodoo was difficult. Even if he went there without the tablet, there was little he could do.

Grace, though anxious, could only wait by his side. All she could do now was hope that Kenan would do something to prolong Alicia’s life.

In a surge of urgency, Dustin channeled his mystical energy with full intensity. The flame beneath the alchemy furnace burst into life instantly, and the surrounding temperature spiked rapidly.

Even Grace, standing nearby, felt parched and flushed from the intense heat.

The flames blazed with such ferocity that the alchemy furnace began to vibrate and emit a loud hum. Ordinarily, an alchemist would immediately lower the heat to prevent an explosion, but Dustin couldn’t afford to do so at that moment.

Time was pressing. He needed to raise the temperature to expedite the tablet’s crafting, even if it meant risking an explosion.

Five minutes later, cracks began to appear on the furnace’s surface, signaling its approaching limit. The mystical flames, fueled by pure energy, burned intensely hot. It pushed the high -quality furnace to its limits.

Grace’s expression changed to concern as she hurriedly warned him, “Dustin! The furnace is about to explode.”

Without uttering a single word, Dustin concentrated on channeling his mystical pure energy. The flames beneath the furnace roared with undiminished intensity.

Eventually, the trembling alchemy furnace reached its limit and erupted with a resounding bang. Shards scattered in all directions, and dust clouded the air.

At the epicenter of the explosion, Dustin’s body trembled as his energy armor burst forth and shielded him from the flying debris.

Then, something astonishing happened that left Grace speechless.

Despite the explosion, Dustin pressed on. He used his mystical pure energy to conjure a new, translucent alchemy furnace seemingly out of thin air.From NôvelDrama.Org.

This furnace of true energy shimmered and subtly shifted color when touched by the flames.

As Grace watched closely, she noticed an irregular purple tablet floating within the furnace. The remaining medicinal liquid swiftly gathered and filled the tablet.

Eventually, the purple tablet finally took shape.

“It’s done!” Dustin’s eyes lit up.

With a swift motion, he stretched his arm inside the furnace of true energy and grabbed the tablet. The furnace dissipated into a gentle breeze, and the flames beneath it vanished instantly.

He let out a long breath, and his body soaked in sweat.

It had been exhausting to channel his true energy to sustain the flame. He also had to prevent the catastrophe of the furnace exploding and ruining the tablet.

Ultimately, he had to summon every ounce of his true energy to conjure an alchemy furnace from nothing, a feat that drained most of his energy.

His success was owed to his strong cultivation foundation. Fortunately, the tablet was successfully crafted, and all his hard work paid off.

“Hurry! We need to save Alicia now!”

Without stopping to rest, Dustin pocketed the tablet and hurried off with Grace to the Celestial Alliance’s Lakeshore Villa.
