127 A Savage Thought

"So it's like this," I said in amazement as I watched the medical efficiencies act obediently under my quasi- Viscount fire essence.

With the stronger fire essence driving my refinement, it was much easier to control every step of the refinement. After what seemed like an eternity of careful precision, I looked at the finished pill core that lay in the cauldron. It was a small Dark Violet pill core. This young lord had succeeded and broken through to become a Grape Alchemist!

I quickly took out the Dark Violet pill core and mixed it with a bit of Tier-2 ointment I had available to make a topical salve. After I finished the salve I happily rubbed it over my body. My fatal wounds healed in front of my very eyes.

I live!

I passed out right in that very cave after seeing my wounds healing. All my worries extinguished, I could finally rest and recover. It was a strange feeling, being alive. Teetering on the edge of life and death was no joke.
