Ken was creating a new Alchemy approach on the run, and its specialty was injecting medicinal effects into food.
The young alchemist knew that he couldn't concoct a pill under Edmund's watching eyes without arousing the latter's suspicion, but he could cook a meal!
'I will call it Soul Protection Salad,' Ken amused himself in his mind as he dug in. The taste was bland as there was no taste, but the child took bite after bite without hesitation. A scene that every parent dreams of seeing unfolded; a child eats their nasty salad without any resistance.
The Soul Protection Salad's effect was not hard to guess. By extracting so many essences of ingredients with soul properties, Ken created a dish with the same effect as a pill that would coat one's soul in a layer of Qi for a while, nurturing and protecting it.
'I'm ready, my strongest weakness is my soul until I advance to the next stage, so it's better to protect it.'
