Chapter 923 - Four Star Diamond II I took out all the herbs needed to make the potion and started to clean them through the various procedures before adding them into various flasks and beakers in various shapes before making a complicated network of the Glass tubes. High-level potions could not be made with just boiling the ingredients together; there are much-complicated procedures involved using various complicated glass equipment. The instruments I am using are not normal instruments; each of them has the complex runic Array carved on them for the specific function. If I chose the boiling flask with the wrong array, then the whole potion will collapse, and I will have to start all over again. I started crafting the potions, following the procedure as it is in the knowledge I had got from the knowledge crystals. Fuss! Everything was going well in the first hour, but suddenly, one of herbal which essence I was extracting through the steam burned crisp and that burned smoke traveled to the central sphere where all the smoky essences were fusing, spoiling them whole. Sigh! I took a sigh of regret seeing that before I started cleaning, and after I had done with cleaning, I watched the footage about where I had gone wrong. Soon, I was able to spot my mistakes, it was a very tiny mistake, but that tiny mistake had cost me the whole potion materials. After going through the footage one more time to see if I had not made any mistake, I started crafting again, this time becoming even more careful, but I failed again in two hours when I was just the last stages of finishing the potion and all it due to tiny mistakes. I repeated the same procedure as earlier; the only difference was that I already had what mistakes I had committed, but I still watched the recording twice before I started to craft potion again. I had four sets of materials for this potion, the two had already wasted, and now I have only two. I could only afford failure for one more time, but I am not going to fail; this time, I am going to craft the potion without failing. I started again, and with the experience of the past two times, my movements are very fluid. I continue with a one-track mind, not focusing on any other thing than the potion, and finally, after nearly three hours later, the potion is finely crafted. Sigh! Seeing the pitch-black liquid in the flask, I couldn’t help but take a sigh of relief and tiredness; it had been seven hours since I had started crafting the potion with a singular focus; it had made me quite tired mentally. This is why, after crafting the potion, I did not eat it directly; instead, I had rested for half an hour before getting up and dividing the potion into two for Ashlyn and me. "Here," I said to Ashlyn as I gave her share of the potion, right after I gave her share I gulped down my share, and I have to say it is the most bitterest thing I have eaten, it was so bitter that I had nearly vomited. As I drank it, the faint heat started to spread through my body, seeing that, I quickly undressed to my underwear and started performing Body Cleansing Technique and Secrete Method. It is my first time performing the Body Cleansing Technique since I became the Diamond Elite as I did not get a time. It had been a while since I had made progress. After I reached the 10th Major Cleansing, I was barely able to to move forward as I did not have any energy in my body to do that as the Limit had been limiting my progress, but now I have broken the limit, I have plenty of energy in me, and now it will depend on me how far I could go. I started to perform fast from the beginning, as I have to perform a shit load of exercises before I could reach 10th, and I have to reach the 10th level as soon as possible before I half direct the potion. As after the 10th level Body Cleansing Exercise changed a little, from the 11th level every pose of it is Minor Cleansing. Every twelve poses when my body used to go through the Minor Cleansing will now go through the Major cleansing, and as what will happen after performing 108 poses, well that time, the body will go through the Grand Cleansing. The Body Cleansing Method had 16 levels; for the first 10 levels, the end each level is Major Cleansing, while for the last 6 levels, the end of each level is Grand Cleansing and if one able to perform all sixteen levels, one will go through the Supreme Cleansing and will get an Unblemished Body. Unblemished Body, A Body without any impurities. The Secret Method is also the same; if I can practice through the Nine Stages of it, then I will get a Pure soul. I have fixed my decision that I will complete these two methods; after doing it, not only will my strength rise explosively, but most importantly, I will have a Body and Soul, which is perfect for the fusion of Inheritance. I already have Inheritance Crystal, called Godslayer Inheritance. In these few months, I was able to get some information about it, and I am quite impressed as this inheritance is quite a high level, but I will still try to get a better Inheritance. As half of my progress will depend on the type of Inheritance I get and I want the best out of it, it will be quite difficult, but I already have a plan and which is to join a powerful organization. The Powerful organization has powerful Inheritances; only after getting them will I be able to take my revenge against those people from the Supreme Organisations. I am very aware of my condition and know without joining a Powerful Organisation. I would not be able to get a similar strength of those people and get my revenge. Finally, after performing at record-breaking speed, I reached the 10 levels. I started to perform poses of it, Nero also came out but began to look at potion particles with the shining eyes, but I had stopped him from eating them. I want to digest this potion for myself; when I have a time, I will craft a potion for him to eat. Seeing me stopping him, Nero got sad for a while before he started to target other things to eat. Six minutes later, I had reached the 108th pose. This was my limit last time, but now I have I will go further. Though I am feeling quite tired, I still have the energy to continue, and I will do it. Focusing on my power and I barged through the restriction that had to stop me and started performing the 1st pose of the 11th move, which is way more difficult than I had thought. It is like tight chains had been binding my body and making slight movements is very difficult. Still, I continued, as I saw my body going through Minor Cleaning in the 1st pose. Seeing that newfound vigor rose in me, and I started to perform the Body Cleansing Technique with every bit of energy I have in me. Thud! I continued for twenty more minutes and performed 6 poses in 11th Move, which is little less than I expected, but I felt happy when I saw the potion made me advance to the 4 Star of Diamond Level.
