Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Mysterious Elixir Powder (Seeking More Readers!)

Translator: 549690339 1

Seemingly feeling the somewhat bizarre mood fluctuations of her trainer, Rainbow looked at David Jones with confusion in her eyes.

“What’s the matter? Haven’t you always wanted to try the taste of this elixir powder? If you don’t want to taste it now, then forget it.”

After David finished speaking, he pretended to take back the spoon in his hand.

“Ya!Yiya.”( -w)/ (Don’t, I want to eat).

Rainbow instantly refused, making a few crisp cries. She had never said that she didn’t want to eat it.

So, under David’s expectant gaze, Rainbow slowly extended her snake tongue and gently licked the Vitality Powder on the spoon.

Seeing this, David’s eyes were fixed on Rainbow, whose expression remained unchanged. He wanted to know Rainbow’s evaluation of his craftsmanship after the tasting.

“How is it? What’s the taste like?”

Looking at Rainbow, who was squinting her eyes and her body seemed to have been frozen in time without moving for a long time, David asked in surprise.

At the same time, an ominous premonition emerged in his heart. Could it be that she passed out just by eating a little bit of this powder?!

David subconsciously sensed Rainbow’s condition through the Beast Taming Contract but found that her mental state was surprisingly good.

Yiyiyiya… ( ) (its so-so, not as delicious as I imagined, but not

terrible either.)

Rainbow opened her watery, big eyes, then tilted her adorable head, seemingly hesitating, still savoring that strange feeling, and whispered uncertainly.

“Ah… it’s not bad!”

David looked at Rainbow’s mouth in amazement, somewhat in disbelief that such a bitter thing could actually taste all right to Rainbow!

Ignoring her trainer’s astonished expression,

Having satisfied her long-suppressed curiosity, the now-bored Rainbow immediately turned her head back to the couch where she often practiced the Calm Mind technique.

“It looks like she judged the taste by her little snake’s heart. David wasn’t lying; this stuff really isn’t very delicious.”

Rainbow lay on the couch, thinking thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, David, who was trying to know Rainbow’s true thoughts through the Contract, frowned. Where on earth did his pet learn these words?!

He remembered that he only showed Rainbow the “Basic Language Enlightenment of Flowery Kingdom” teaching video. It’s been only a few days, and she can already apply the tropes of Blue Star?!’

“You, a coldjade snake with ice and psychic attributes, don’t want to wear glasses and become a language doctor in the pet world, do you?”

David muttered quietly but felt a bit of joy in his heart.

Rainbow really lived up to being his initial pet; her learning talent was truly maxed out!

Regaining his senses, David looked at the little bit of powder left on the spoon, and a flicker of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

It shouldn’t be. Usually, when he cooked too much, Rainbow would occasionally help to finish it off. He thought the grilled fish tasted good, and Rainbow loved it too.

Logically, their tastes should be similar!

Could it be that the freshly made Vitality Powder had a unique taste, and maybe, after it cooled down, the taste would improve?

Thinking of this, David closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and, refusing to accept defeat, licked the powder on the spoon again.

“Cough, cough!”

Suddenly, David’s violent coughing sounded in the kitchen.

He was speechless. How could there be such a terrible-tasting medicine in the world?

What was even more bizarre was that he had personally concocted such a medicine, and it felt like he was torturing himself. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he brought it upon himself.

David Jones, who was struggling internally, felt his scalp go numb when he considered that the Vitality Powder in front of him would be his only sustenance for the next month.

After a while, already having rinsed his mouth and tidied up, David looked at the large amount of Vitality Powder in the sand pot in front of him, his face paling.

In his previous life, he had eaten many strange foods, even trying the notoriously unpalatable canned herring and Icelandic shark, driven by a strong curiosity. 6

That said, David would rather choose to eat those two kinds of dark gourmet than to drink the Vitality Powder in front of him.

David silently wrapped the Vitality Powder in the sand pot with paper and then shook his head with a bitter smile.

He didn’t understand why, even though he had followed all the procedures, the elixir powder he produced turned out so bitter.

This taste was completely different from the Vitality Powder he bought at Pharmacy Hall, even worlds apart!

David stood in place for a moment, then went to his bedroom, picked up his phone, and sent Rosalind Louise a message.

-Rosalind, this is the first Vitality Powder I’ve made. The taste is incredibly bitter. Did I mess up in any step of the process?”

He attached a picture of the potion he had just taken to the text.

Truth be told, David knew many people he could ask about alchemy problems, but the most authoritative figure he trusted was Rosalind Louise, whom he had only recently met.

During his studies of alchemy knowledge, he had made friends with many online.

To address alchemy problems, David and his alchemist friends had joined a group chat called “Flowery Elixir Association.”

The Flowery Elixir Association was a place full of hidden talents, with each member having at least the status of a junior alchemist.

It was said that the group administrator and the group owner were even highly respected senior alchemists.

However, if any of those alchemists had true strength, they would not be flooding the group chat all day.

When David woke up every day and saw 999+ messages in the group chat on

his phone, he knew what kind of group he had joined.

It was only the occasional discussion of some refreshing, effective alchemy knowledge in the Flowery Elixir Association that kept him from leaving the strange group chat.

As for asking about the freshly made Vitality Powder in his hand to these masters who constantly boasted about high-level elixirs, he thought about it and decided to give up, as he would probably not get a serious answer.

About ten minutes later, David’s phone vibrated with a reply from Rosalind.

“Judging by the picture, the color seems fine. Vitality Powder usually has only a mild bitterness. How about its medicinal effect?”

“The effect is much better than the one I bought at the Pharmacy Hall, but the taste is abnormally bitter.”

“Not bad at all, no need to change.”

-If you find it too bitter, you can add some rock sugar or honey when taking it, which won’t affect its effects.”

“Alright, thank you, Rosalind.”

After politely ending the topic, David looked at the bags of elixir not far away, his eyebrows furrowing before he shook his head helplessly.

Well, he had to face what he had to face. Wasting was a bad habit.

After completing his nightly Strengthening exercises, the exhausted David looked at the dark elixir liquid he had mixed with a lot of rock sugar and felt bitter in his heart.

Meanwhile, the Rainbow next to him, lying in its bedding, got up in confusion and looked at David with puzzled eyes.

“Usually my trainer drinks it all down without hesitation, so why is he hesitating today, not daring to take the plunge.”

After a while, as if figuring something out, Rainbow’s eyes lit up and eagerly volunteered through the Contract, saying to David,

“If you can’t drink it, don’t worry, let me do it!”
