Consuming the Pill!

Elizabeth and Lucifer appeared inside the room where Rose stood waiting for her master. Upon seeing her master and the youth they were talking about appearing together she panicking as she thought that her master kidnapped him.

"No! Master, what are you doing, kidnapping him? What if the people behind him come and seek revenge."

Hearing the cry as soon as they appeared in the room, Elizabeth looked at Rose like a child being scolded by her parent, which in this case is Rose. Lucifer looked around the room before settling his gaze back onto the two bickering master and pupil pair. The scene in front of him made him chuckle, which immediately drew the pairs' attention as they blushed.

Rose cleared her throat before speaking, "Ehm! So master, why is he here and what was that explosion from across the road?"

"Oh! Rose meet your new junior brother, brother... Ehm..."

Elizabeth helplessly looked towards a gaze that screamed for help, thus Lucifer could only answer her.

"Lucifer Darkstar."

Hearing that he answered her question and she can still keep her face she thought she had, "Yes, yes, your junior brother Lucifer."

Both Lucifer and Rose was shocked and Rose wanted to ask about what's going on, but Lucifer asked a question quicker.

"I never remember agreeing to take you as my master? I thought you said I am now your little brother but how did I become your pupil?"

Hearing Lucifer's questions Rose immediately knew what happened but she didn't know why it happened, but nobody cared that she wasn't informed about their conversation as Elizabeth answered.

"Oh! That's because you Rose here is my sister. Hum. Hum."

She nodded super excitedly and proud at that fact, but her answer confused Lucifer even more.

Seeing the giant question mark that was practically appearing on top of Lucifer's head Rose answered his question instead of Elizabeth.

"I'm her sister."

Her blunt answer stumped Lucifer, but the context of the answer shocked him even more.

"If that is true then why are you calling your sister, master?"

"..."

Elizabeth's face went tomato-red and Rose had a grin on her face as she said sarcastically, "It's because she wants me to call her that when we aren't in front of our parents as she wants to have a real master-student relationship."

Speechless Lucifer could only stare at Elizabeth with an incredulous gaze. For a few seconds, there was an awkward silence in the air, but for Elizabeth, she felt like an eternity so she changed the topic.

"Anyway, what pill did you make that caused that commotion just now?"

"What? He created a pill! When?"

Rose said and looked expectantly at Lucifer, but he was contemplating what to do. He remained cautious of them and didn't go into any detail.

"A pill. I made it just now."

He said it with a deadly serious expression, but Rose and Elizabeth thought he was making a joke and burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha"

"Hahahaha"

They only calmed down after a few seconds and wanted to tell him he should be serious, but they saw his stoic face and just stayed silent. Elizabeth broke the silence with a massive grin that broke out on his face, as she said, "Little brother you must remember that you have to take pills for my shop. Hehe!"

Seeing the grin on her face Lucifer felt defeated, but he just felt lucky that he got saved by her and not someone else that will either kill or torture him.

*Sigh*

"I know."

He could only admit defeat, but he wanted to purify the foreign Qi as quickly as possible since it can also damage his foundation if it is left there for too long without doing anything about it, thus he asked, "I will refine pills at a later time, but I have to consume the pill I made as soon as possible, so is there a room I can use?"

Elizabeth that heard the urgency in his voice nodded her head and led him towards the back of the store towards a room.

"Lucy, remember that you have to answer out questions after you come out of the room and that you should pay rent by refining more pills."

Lucifer hearing the way Elizabeth called him cringed on the inside, but he didn't show any reaction which made Elizabeth pout in annoyance.

"Hmph, you're no fun."

Even though she said that she quickly regained her smile. Lucifer said his farewells to the two girls before he walked into the room and closing the door behind him.

After he was gone Rose looked at her sister and asked, "Master, what is the real reason that you brought him here even going as far as accepting him as our little brother?"

Elizabeth stopped smiling as she seriously said glancing back at her sister, "When we were talking about him, an explosion in the surrounding Qi occurred and the source was his hotel room, which was across from us. When it did all the Qi in the area rushed towards him. When I asked him what it was he said he refined a pill, but I have never seen this type of reaction from just refining a normal pill, thus he refined a superior pill. A superior pill. A pill no-one has seen since the ancient times, thus I tried to find a way to recruit him even if I have to be his big sister. Luckily another expert was rushing in his direction and he had to make a decision. Hehehe! I'm a genius, Rose praise your master!"

Rose just rolled her eyes at her sister's antics.

...

Inside the room, Lucifer sealed the room to try and conceal the Qi fluctuations from the pill and his breakthrough he will have, with his soul power.

He took out the cauldron from his spatial ring on his right index finger. The golden cauldron appeared in hand before he sat it down on the floor.

Looking at the cauldron he felt anticipation to see what the pill looks like and try to figure out why it had such a powerful effect.

Opening the cauldron a powerful burst of Qi and fragrance assaulted his senses. Just inhaling it stirred the Qi in his dantian.

"How..."

Glancing at the door he closed his mouth and began thinking, 'How is it possible that this low levelled pill suddenly become a high ranked pill? First, let's cultivate then I will think about it.'

Getting himself ready he took his shirt off for the impurities it will release and steeled himself, before popping the pill into his mouth he quickly sat down into the lotus position. The pill immediately dissolved and a pill Qi coming from the pill spread travelled towards his dantian.

Inside of his dantian, the pill Qi moved to his Qi sea to isolate the foreign Qi and began integrating into it. Lucifer circulated his Qi to mix with the pill Qi to help with the purifying and refinement of mixing the foreign Qi with his own Qi.

He cultivated for an entire day before all the different Qi's integrated into one. When it finished an audible sound could be heard coming from him that could be heard throughout the store.

...

In the store behind the counter, Rose and Elizabeth were surprised by the sound.

"What was that?"

Rose jumped up and exclaimed from behind the counter. Elizabeth was also curious about what happened because she knew it came from the direction of Lucifer's room.

"We will see how he will answer to this? Hehe."

Elizabeth chuckled with an 'evil' grin on her face.

...

Back inside Lucifer's room, he was looking at himself in a mirror and saw that there were impurities on his skin, but beneath all of the filth, he saw that his skin and muscles have gotten tighter making him look leaner, but he could feel that his body has gotten even stronger.

He released his Qi onto his right arm and controlled it to move over his body.

'Looks like I am at the beginning of the Qi Warrior realm, furthermore, even my Qi moves more smoothly. My cultivation is moving fast, I need to slow down and focus more on gaining money and status. I now have to refine pills for this store, but at least I have the protection of Elizabeth when I am in here which is very important in this new life. But now I have to take a shower.'

With his thoughts, he was about to dress in his suit, but the voice of Elizabeth interrupted his actions.

"Lucy! I don't know what that sound was, but I assume that you are done with cultivating so I prepared a set of clothes for you..."

"..."

Taken aback by her thoughtfulness he said, "Thanks..."

But his words were short-lived as her next words made him furrow his brows in annoyance as she said in a teasing tone, "... but it is here with me, outside so come and get it~. "

"..."

Elizabeth thought Lucifer was embarrassed and began giggling to herself of her victory, but a few seconds later Lucifer's door opened with a topless Lucifer, with a few black impurities on him but it didn't subtract from his looks, standing there in his full glory all for Elizabeth's eyes to feast upon.

She began blushing and made him chuckle at her reaction, but Lucifer didn't mention it and just took the clothes from her and said, "Thanks," before walking back and closing the door.

Thirty minutes later a cleaned clothed Lucifer walked out of the door with a black jean and a blue short-sleeved shirt. He walked towards the area where the two girls are.

...

At the same time in a massive mansion inside a study, there was a middle-aged man with brown hair, beard and red eyes that was talking with the middle-aged man that was previously in the room of Lucifer that exploded.

The man with the red eyes asked, "Brother Knight, you are saying that someone could have refined a superior pill? If that is true then we must have it by all means."

The other man said, "Yes it's true, brother Alex, the moment I was standing in the hotel room a strong medicinal scent hit my nose. Except for a superior pill, I don't know what could cause such a reaction."

Alex Springwater said, "Did you find out where the alchemist went?"

Bryan Knight just sighed and shook his head in regret, "No, brother Alex, someone must have saved him, but I am sure he must be near that area."

Alex Springwater nodded his head and said with slight killing intent in his voice, "We must find him, send out as many people you want to find him."

"Yes, brother Alex."

Bryan Knight nodded his head before disappearing from the room leaving Alex Springwater alone in the room as he was staring out of the window.

"I am almost there. The next realm. The realm of the gods."

...

Lucifer arrived by the three girls as they were talking.

Rose spoke in amusement, "Master~ did you perhaps fall in love with Lucifer?"

Elizabeth said stuttering, "S-stop me-messing around Ro-Rose, no-one wi-will e-every like s-someone like h-him!"

"Oh! Really!"

Lucifer's voice broke them out of their conversation as they both got surprised by his arrival which quickly turned to embarrassment.

"L-Lucy you were a-already here, how did y-you sneak upon us. Whatever, nevermind, are you ready to answer the questions we have?"

Lucifer nodded his head and said, "Let's do it."
