Testing the pill{231}

Pov change.

Keitaro was currently in his lab doing stuff, he was looking at the herb's vivid color under a microscope, and he was trying to find out more, he possessed no six eyes, so in order to get a closer look, he had to use a machine such a this for it to work.

He carefully had the herb placed on his workbench, he pulled out a scalpel in order to cut a small piece of the plant off.

The fragment felt like it thrummed between his fingers, even in the tiniest amount of what he could extract.

He gently crushed it into a fine powder and began the process of trying to fuse it into a pill.

After all, he had all of the ingredients with him.

He gently crushed it into a fine powder and began the process of trying to fuse it into a pill.

He made sure to be very careful with it, making sure as to not destroy it, or overdue it.

As he mixed the ingredients together, he could feel an immediate surge of potency, it felt almost too intense, there was just too much natural energy and too little curse energy to stop it from going rampant.

However, if the concentration of curse energy was too high, the pill would probably be taken into a domain sure hit, his usual although they contain curse energy, that curse energy was suppressed by natural energy, to a domain, and that curse energy was never there...thus unless the domain attacked inanimate object, it would not target the pills.

He did not want to give away that little advantage the pill had offered, he wondered if he should use more curse energy, or if he needed a better nature energy conduit or something like that.

The pill started to crack under the heavy strain, it crumbled before it could even solidify. The Herb's power was simply overwhelming and he needed to dilute it further.

This time, he took a much smaller piece, Keitaro repeated the process ain, he began by mixing it more carefully. This attempt was more stable in producing a pale green pill that practically radiated vitality, though not without lingering potency that he would need to adjust unless he wanted whoever ate it to turn into stone.

He made a note to try and dilute it with herbs that had similar properties in the future. Thinking about it now, he felt like a drug lord, creating the best and purest pill to exist to give to people to become high and fight better.

Well in his case, his pill saves lives and someone cannot really overdose on them, they simply lose their effectiveness once the person's body has a high enough concentration of them.

This was a safety measure he took once he saw the way the future heir of the Zenin clan was abusing them to gain strength.

His earlier prototype had no limits, you could take as much as you wanted and stack the effects, however, those were prototypes for a reason.

Taking too much of them to heal was dangerous, they healed you and gave you a small 10% buff.

Sure you might eat 20 and get a 200% buff....the second that buff was over, however, your body would either shut down from being asked to work so hard, or you become a stone statue.

After all, his pills were made with a trace amount of natural energy...without the natural energy, they would be the slight buff they gave you and instead would just primarily be healing pills, that only healed you about 50% of the version he possessed.

That was for the simple fact that the natural energy had buffed the herb's effect.... anyway, enough about how you could overdose on his pills.

He needed to switch gears, so he turned to his laptop.

An Asus Zenbook UX51VZ-XB71...this laptop was meant to come out next year but Keitaro now had money and thus had gained access to it.

The main reason he bought it was for the simple little fact that it was a touch screen, they were a cheaper option but he was kind of sleep-deprived when he made the purchase, and truly did not care how many zeros were in there to be fair.

He began searching for other herbs with high vitality levels. He came up with several options but nothing really caught his attention or matched the intensity of the herb he had.

There were a few plants known for resilience and vitality that might make decent complements, though, so he added them to his list of ingredients to order.

He then looked over at Akane, who had been lounging in her usual spot in the lab, her gaze following his every move.

He held the herb out to her, allowing her to sniff it as she perked up with immediate interest.

"Akane, think you can find anything around the house that has a similar scent?" he asked, patting her head softly.

Akane gave a confident nod, sniffing the herb again before bounding out of the lab, her nose twitching as she started her search. Keitaro watched her go, knowing her keen senses might pick up something he'd missed around the house.

After a while of experimenting...he made a semi-decent pill.

Decided to take the pill...

Taking out his notebook, he began documenting how he felt.

He felt a surge of energy in his body, about 110% of his original output, taking in a deep breath, he could feel that percentage growing.
