Chapter 2638: Boiled I "If I succeed in crafting what I am planning to craft, then I will form a core," said Jim softly, which froze me on the spot for a moment. His Inheritance is different from other Inheritance, different from even regular alchemical Inheritance. It is an extremly high-level Alchemical Inheritance that such levels of Alchemical Inheritance have only appeared two times throughout history. It is not necessary a good thing, considering how hard he had to work to achieve each level. Of all four of them, who had gotten these Angel Inheritances, three of them have already created the core, including my ex-girlfriend, her ex-boyfriend, and his own fiancé. I am still quite surprised that bastard was able to create the core; it is not exactly an easy thing, especially this early. "Congratulations in advance then; I know you will succeed," I said to him, to which he smiled. It is not blind confidence but trust. He had been working very hard on improving his alchemy skills and is already one of the best alchemists in the world. If it handnt for him, the project would not be at the scale it is right now. Click! Soon we reached the doors of his alchemy artifact, and he pushed them open, and we walked inside. As we did, the walls became transparent like glass, letting me see what is happening in the tens of halls of this artifact. "Today seemed quite active," I said to him as I looked around. The alchemist is always busy, but today, they seemed extra busy. "The resources, it had made everybody happy," he said, and I couldn't help but not. In each hall, I could see the alchemists working with different kinds of instruments and formations, creating alchemical solutions and other things. If the regular alchemist were to see it, they would be quite shocked, as nearly all alchemists work on a large scale. Some even had alchemical wares as big as rooms in front of them, and they concentrated their all to manage the energies inside them. "This project is a godsend opportunity for us alchemists; while the work is constant and tiring, we get to work with a scale that is impossible to imagine before, even in wartime." "It is not just a scale of things we craft, but also the complicated alchemical recipes which push our skills to the limit." "If it hadn't for the project, I would have needed years to achieve the skills I have today," he said while we continued walking. I saw the person I am extremly familiar with; I saw Hazel, who is surrounded by complicated glass equipment. A hand-side glass cube is floating in front of her, which is absorbing, six colorful clouds of smoke from all sides and creating a black swirl inside. It is a beautiful scene but very complex; I don't think many people have the skills to craft what she is crafting. "She is crafting a Grandmaster level solution, and looking how things are going, she will succeed," Jim commented. "You are mentoring her well," I said; she had tremendous progress, which wouldn't have been possible without his help. "My help was a little; what she had achieved is all due to her hard work and talent," he said. I did not say anything to that; I am just happy that soon we are going to get another Grandmaster of alchemy, and I have big plans for that. Click! Soon we reached in front of the crystal door, which Jim pushed open, and we walked into a huge hall that covered the dense formations, which were painted with a high grandmaster class Grimm. "It did not matter whether you succeeded or not; I just really hope you don't mess me up; tomorrow is a very important day for me," I said to him sternly. "Don't worry, you will be fine, more than fine; you will come out with great benefits," he said with a bright, confident smile. Snort! "I really wish you would have used your own fiancé instead of me; she would be fine if you boiled in a burning volcano," I said, to which he became a little embarrassed. "She is not suitable," he replied. 'Liar,' I wanted to say that I have read the recipe, and she is more than suitable; he just didn't want to use his precious fiancé. "And I am the guinea pig for that," I said back before walking toward the center of the formation. I sat down in the center of the formation while all the clothes disappeared from my body. Buzz! "I will begin," He said and activated the formation. Buzz! A second later, the runes climbed over me till they covered every inch of my body before the remaining formation lit up blindingly, and a couple of seconds later, I was inside a huge bronze cauldron made of energy. I really wish this little project of Jim would have come a few days later, as this is not really safe. I have read it, and if something goes wrong, it will mess me up, and I wouldn't be able to heal myself within a day of the damage it will do to me. I have only agreed because it is one of the solutions that will help my friend advance if he succeeds, and I will also get considerable benefits. This is not a treatment or method but an alchemical solution; it is different from other alchemical solutions as it literally requires a human to be inside the pot. It may be a little different, but it is a powerful solution and would be a tremendous help to the project if Jim really succeeded in crafting it. I was sitting empty cauldron when the grey water fell down on me. The grey water is heavier than normal water and contains a particular type of earth and metal type of energies. 'Gaesanab Water,' I said, a quite rare resource, a very difficult to find. The water-filled nearly half of the cauldron, reaching to my neck, but that was just beginning; in the next second, a palm-size hard cold crystal came down, and after that collection of herbs and roots, before I knew it, tens of other things added into the cauldron, completely submerging me. The submerge is a big part but not really dangerous, as the powerhouses of my level could easily hold their breath for hours. A few more minutes passed, and Jim continued to add things when the change began to occur in the cauldron. It begins to get hot. First, the water was warm enough that even a child could take a bath in it, but soon it became hot, which will make even vegetables squishy within a few seconds. Still, it was comfortable to me; such a temperature is nothing for someone like me. A few minutes passed by, and the temperature of the water had become hot enough that even I began to feel uncomfortable. Soon temperature had reached the height that would even cook Grandmaster alive, but the water was still. There is not a single boil, and the resources inside are not even letting out steam, which couldn't help but make me shudder. As the recipe says, the water must be boiling before the real process begins.
