With her entering a focused state, she didn’t see that her surroundings seemed to be shrouded by a mist of energy. Within that mist, an illusory figure could be seen with a faint smile on its face.
The figure didn’t know how much time passed in the Golden Space, but all it knew was that it was watching a very interesting scene. Something it had never seen in a very long time.
There were many times, uncountable even to it, that Diamond failed miserably.
However, the more she failed, the more she became determined. The figure watched as Diamond mumbled to herself, finding where she went wrong and at times returning to the recipe to decipher it.
For someone who didn’t have a teacher, the figure knew that Diamond didn’t have another choice but to persevere until she made it.
Time flew just like that. All portions of herbs collected were used and wasted. But she didn’t give up hope and continued to harvest more.
After so much trouble sometime later, success finally came to her. Watching as cauldron after cauldron produced results, Diamond felt like she was on a roll. So, she maintained that state until there were no more herbs for her to use.
"Damn! Why do they make it look easy?" she complained angrily as she looked at the several bottles she had managed to concoct.
Feeling her body aching despite the heavenly art replenishing her energy, Diamond felt as if she had been scammed.
Who said that this was easy?
Where did it say that it was easy?
Thinking about the herbs she had wasted before she got the trick, Diamond felt her heart aching.
’At least I didn’t pay for them!’ she could only comfort herself with that.
Although some of the herbs were common, that didn’t mean that her heart shouldn’t ache. If she had bought them to concoct, who knows how much money she would have wasted on all the failures she came across?
Thankfully, her perseverance worked, and she managed to concoct three bottles of each pill. With each bottle having ten pills. Wasn’t that something good?
Recalling what had been making her fail before, she patted her head with a smile on her face.
Where else can they find someone so honest and very conscience about people’s health?
In order to concoct pills with low to no impurities, Diamond really gave it her all. Thankfully, the hard work paid and now she had concocted pills which she believed should have around 5% impurities in them.
Maybe in the future, she would eliminate that figure to 0. She just needed to practice more.
Diamond rose to her feet and dusted the non-existent dust from her body. She picked up the six bottles and stored them in her storage ring. As for the cauldron, she didn’t store it in the ring but carried it to the house.
Diamond cleaned the dirt she had caused earlier and when she was done, feeling no sleepiness, she checked the space around for a while before taking a bath.
Feeling too lazy to harvest anything, Diamond finally left the space and appeared in her bedroom.
Checking the time on the clock, she smiled relievedly, seeing that it was still not too late.
