Worthless son

Dean gladly took the book, not even a little offended by what Ted said as he knew it was very easy to make the potion. He opened the book and saw that I wasn't just the ingredients, there where many instructions and side notes.

Dean said "Thanks Ted" getting all excited, thinking that with this he could make his plan work. He went back to his room and started reading the first potion.

The more that he read the more the felt like he was going a bit crazy, especially the side notes that described ways he dint think was possible to do. He thought "I basically have to keep half of the cauldron stable and hot, while I slowly wait for the other half to be ready at a lower fire. When everything is ready I have to create a second fire to heat the giant bee honey, Mixing it all in at the same time.

Who thought of this, what type mad genius thought of this, mixing the blood of a fire lizard and icy maple fruit might just blow up if you mix them, to know giant bee honey keeps it all stable and even makes it better.

Its going to be hard but guess I will give a try".

He picked a hot glass filled with an orange blood, a blue fruit that looked like two little tadpoles kissing and a flask of normal looking honey, and put then at the counter closest to the cauldron then cleared his mind, his eyes turning pitch black with two glowing red irises.

Reaching a state of almost full concentration Dean begun, he first put the orange fire lizard blood increasing the temperature until he could feel the structure in it start to open.

Next he activated the stabilizing and a dividing formation, which pushed all the blood to one side of the cauldron and kept the structure open without ruining the ingredient.

Moving the floating blue fire beneath the cauldron to the side of the blood, he threw the icy maple fruit at the other side and waited for its structure to open, barely being able to feel its structure and keep everything going at the same time.

When everything was finally ready he deactivated his sixth sense and created a small alchemy fire beneath the honey flask, felling a little pain from the heath on his hand. He deactivated the dividing formation and quickly poured the honey right where the dividing barrier was.

Releasing a relived sight when he saw everything mixing up calmly, without any violent reaction. He activated the compressing formation then burned the tip of his finger when he picked the three brownish gray pill that formed.

As he rested in the stool he searched the price of mental energy restoring pill he just made. Getting a pleasant view he said "three hundred points for one top grade pill, God let this pills be top grade, thats 180 every batch. I will be happy with high quality too 120 every batch is pretty good too".

With a big smile on his face Dean walked in front of Ted and put the tub on his desk. A little annoyed Ted looked a the tub and said "High grade, you dint keep your stabilizing formation stable thru the whole process". Then went back to reading.

He thanked Ted and started walking back very happy, passing a dejected teenager orc man who just walked out of one of the alchemy rooms, but payed him no mind.

Back in his room he rested for a bit, reading the second formula in the book as he did. He thought "This one is a just an absurd, I would literally need two heads to do this.

Keeping the cauldron divided in two parts is already hard enough, but divide in two and to create a circle at the middle, and keep the circle colder than the rest. I would have to use the cooling formation just on the middle.

There is no way I can do this right now".

Passing to the other formula, Dean just got more stupefied with the crazy ideas on how to make potions work, starting to think who all alchemist where out of their minds, but at the same time genius to think of such ingenious ways to combine ingredients perfectly.

When his mental energy and spirit qi where recovered to full he went back to making the only expensive potion he could make right now.

Time quickly passed, he read while resting, made more potions and rested again, pausing only to got the bathroom. The idea of earning a lot of money of making potions, the feeling of if getting easier every time he did and the wonderful meal the maids gave him where a great motivators to him.

Dean stayed in the alchemy room seven until he almost fell asleep when he sat at the stool. Realizing he went a little overboard with the idea of making easy money, he looked at the time on his phone and realized he spent more two days just making pills, being kept up only by the energy that the delicious food the maids gave him.

He looked at thirteen tubes with three gray pills, five with four green pills, and seven with two grayish red pills, and thought "Everything I do in this sect fucks with my sleep, its mostly my lack of self control. I have to start putting alarms on my phone again".

He put all the tubs in his ring and walked towards Ted, where he was discussing the orc he saw yesterday. The orc said "Common dad, I just need a thousand points to go out with my girlfriend, I will make a bunch of pills to pay you back after that".

Ted said "You have been doing alchemy for six years and you haven't made a single mid mortal rank high quality pill. I could literally give my notes to anyone and they would do better than you on their first try.

Your brother is already a two star spirit alchemist, and you haven't gotten a single badge. If wasn't your brother I would be mocked by other alchemists.

Could you at least become an inner sect disciple, bring some honor to the clan, just use your talent for something".

Brian said angrily "Oh, you think your notes are so amazing, the best in the world. Guess what they are not, they just describe a bunch things that are almost impossible to do".

Dean who was almost sleeping while scoring at the wall, dint think well enough and butted in saying "That is not true, they are pretty good. Dint fail once while using them".

With even more anger Brian was about to scream at Dean, but Ted aura easily paralyzed him in fear. Ted said "Leave, if you want to borrow money go ask your mom".

Fearing his father, who was normally calm and nice with him, Brian walked away feeling wronged.

Ted looked at Dean and said "Sorry about my son, he is idiotic coward, really don't know what I did wrong while raising him. Now what do you want?".

Dean yawned and took all the pill flasks of his ring. Ted raised his eyebrow seeing the scene, his brown eyes glowed slightly as he appraised the flasks.

Ted said "Only this three metal energy restoring pills are high grade the rest is top grade. Not bad kid, to make just high and top grade potions as a beginner, even for someone with a wood affinity that is impressive. How did you do it?"

Dean sleepily said "My blood sense can sense the structure on the animal ingredients so the hard part was getting used to keeping all the formations going. Its still bit hard, but I am *yawn* getting good".

Surprise was written all over Ted face, he said "What an incredible talent for alchemy. What do you think about becoming my apprentice?".

Dean said "I am too sleepy to make any big decisions right now, give me my points and we can *Yawn* talk later".

Instantly getting more polite and happy as talked to Dean, Ted said "Of course… throwing a little extra for them being in bulk, its a total of seven thousand lion points".

Hearing the big number that represented his wealth woke Dean up a little, he said "Thank you for the bonus, I can get an even better cauldron with this".

Ted said "Please think on my proposition before buying one, I have many excellent cauldrons I can give you as a gift".

Dean said "Will do, now I have to catch some sleep. Bye ted" as he walked out of the alchemy complex and, with the help of a maid that was passing by, he reached his room, falling asleep as soon as he fell on the bed.

He Awakened as the giant demon that was his soul, which has been increasing in size the more spirit qi Dean absorbed.

Being completely awake, Dean observed his world for a bit, feeling some peace in doing it, as the thing that bothered him every time he was here had finally disappeared.
