Realm of Myths and Legends (WN)
Chapter 1227: All Eyes On Them

...

After settling things with Konpel, Rozomius proceeded to call up Apothecaries to acquire their Natural Energy.

There had been some decent results; however, there was no one who had yet to surpass Konpel, who obtained the Natural Energy of Wind with a tier six potential.

"Seeing everyone’s results has got me feeling a little anxious. Since the Palace Master gave us a Flow of Energy Pill, we should get at least a tier three potential. But, I’m worried about the type of Natural Energy I’ll get and whether or not it will be suitable for crafting pills." Celia sighed.

Thanks for the hidden effects of the Flow of Energy Pill that raised the tier they would obtain upon receiving their Natural Energy by two, as long as they possessed any Natural Energy whatsoever, they were practically guaranteed to have a tier three or higher potential.

However, after seeing so many Apothecaries walk away with less than desirable results from the Guiding Light, Celia could not help but have an ill fitting thought or two.

"There is no such thing as a Natural Energy suitable for crafting pills. While it’s true that fire, wind and earth are considered to be the best when it comes to crafting pills, I learned that is too simple of a way of looking at it. The truth is, every Natural Energy has its strong points and weak points. It just so happens that fire, wind and earth are the elements an Apothecary are most familiar with when crafting. Naturally, it is much easier to adapt to something you feel a sense of familiarity with rather than with a Natural Energy that feels like it clashes against what you’re already used to. At least, that is what was mentioned in the first Chapter of the Vault of Knowledge." Worldly Skies explained.

Celia’s brows rose in surprise as she asked, "Then, are you saying even if someone gets the Natural Energy of Water, it’s possible to rival someone with the Natural Energy of Fire?"

Worldly Skies nodded and replied, "That’s right. Of course, it is under the assumption that they are able to find and take advantage of the strong points their Natural Energy offers, while finding a way to work around the weak points."

"That being said, I’m confident that you have nothing to worry about. Besides, no matter what Natural Energy or tier of potential you receive, I will be sure that you can still walk the path of an Apothecary to the very end. So, don’t overthink it and just do what needs to be done." Izroth said in a carefree manner.

"Palace Master...! I promise—I’ll never accidentally call you Isotobe again...!" Celia said with a touched expression.

"Isotobe? No, rather, isn’t that something you should do anyway?" Worldly Skies thought to herself as she let out a lighthearted giggle.

Izroth inwardly shook his head as he gave a helpless smile.

While walking around the Apothecary Guild, Izroth tested out his Divine Appraisal on many things and people. Of course, he also observed players with his Divine Appraisal. However, all the players that Izroth came across had either one or no affinity.

Even someone like Worldly Skies only had one affinity. Though her situation was a bit unique compared to others. Nevertheless, it seemed that the standard was one affinity per person. Because of this, Izroth thought that it might have something to do with the Laws of the World or a person’s possible Domain element. Unfortunately, there were still too many unclear points.

When it came to the variation of Natural Energy, while it did not happen all the way, it could still be considered a rather common occurrence. For example, one of the variations of the Natural Energy of Earth was the Natural Energy of Wood.

That being said, variations were not always a good thing. Unknown or rare variations could be tricky to handle. This was the case for the Lava variant of the Natural Energy of Fire. After one of the Apothecaries received the Natural Energy of Lava, Rozomius warned them to take things slow when crafting grade five or higher pills in the future. As he explained it, the Natural Energy of Lava has the ability to concentrate a heat source to an extreme degree. However, if one were too impatient or reckless, they would end up effortlessly destroying their pills in the crafting process.

"Apothecary Celia." Rozomius called out.

"It looks like I’ll be going up first. Wish me luck—Palace Master, big sis Worldly Skies." Celia said with an easygoing smile.

"You can do this." Worldly Skies said reassuringly.

"Walk with confidence." Izroth said calmly.

Celia straightened her back, tilted her head at a slightly upward angle, and walked forward with her arms moving back and forth.

Worldly Skies quickly covered her mouth with both hands as she held back her laughter.

"Palace Master, where on earth did you find this interesting and adorable little sister?" Worldly Skies asked as she cleared her throat and regained her composure. Although, the smile on her face had no vanished.

"Somehow, it’s interesting people that always manages to find me." Izroth replied.

"That’s true. Palace Master Izroth certainly surrounds himself with some interesting individuals. I suppose that can’t be helped seeing as how Palace Master Izroth is also quite interesting." Worldly Skies said casually.

"Well, it’s not as though I dislike being surrounded by such people." Izroth said with a carefree smile.

"I am of the same mind." Worldly Skies added.

Meanwhile, Celia approached the Guiding Light. She took a deep breath before she released it and placed her hand onto the Guiding Light.

In the blink of an eye, six golden beads appeared. However, what happened next caused the atmosphere in the promotion test room to shift.

An additional golden bead appeared, making it a total of seven. Then, in less than a breath, eight formed, then nine and ten!

Rozomius’ eyes widened in shock as he visibly trembled. And, he was not the only one.

Koralena and Po were also visibly taken aback by the number of golden beads that appeared.

"Potential tier ten...! It’s actually a potential tier ten...!" Po commented in disbelief.

"A genius...! This young lady must be a pill genius...!" Koralena chimed in.

"How many years has it been since we have last tested a person with tier ten potential? This will cause quite a stir among throughout Danaharpe." Rozomius stated as he regained his calm demeanor.

Still, how could he not be shocked? An Apothecary with a tier ten potential Natural Energy had the potential makings of becoming a grade ten Apothecary!

Of course, there were still many other things to consider as the tier potential of one’s Natural Energy was just one of the necessary components if one hoped to become a grade ten Apothecary. However, at the very least, as long as nothing major happened and she put in the effort, Celia could at least become a grade nine Apothecary!

"Now, the Natural Energy..." Rozomius said to himself quietly.

A tier ten potential was great, but it could also prove challenging to the speed of her growth if the Natural Energy was a bizarre variation or incompatible. That being said, regardless of what Natural Energy Celia obtained, she would find success as an Apothecary due to having such a high tier of Natural Energy.

The breath seemed to simultaneously leave everyone’s body as a bundle of flames appeared at the center of the golden beads.

"Fire...! She has the Natural Energy of Fire! A pill genius has been born!" One of the observers exclaimed.

"Wait, what’s happening? Doesn’t the fire look a bit strange?" An observer commented.

Next to the bundle of flames, a small typhoon appeared. And, not long after the small typhoon emerged, a tree branch materialized as well as the three circles around one another in harmony.

Rozomius, Koralena and Po were all left stunned by the results of the Guiding Light. There were many of those present who were also taken aback, but not for the same reason. Rather, they had no idea what they were looking at.

"How is this possible? Can a person have three Natural Energies?" An Apothecary commented.

"Is the Guiding Light broken? But, it has been a treasure of the Apothecary Guild since its founding..."

"T-this is...! This...! Triple Natural Energy...! She has Triple Natural Energy...!" Rozomius exclaimed as he lost his composure.
