The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 267: 261: Beast Training and Pharmacy

Translator: 549690339

Rosewood College’s Alchemy Chamber was located on an island with an exceptionally active fire vein arcane force.

This small island was a pharmacy area created by using the Deep Earth Lava River as a foundation, along with arcane force and high technology. The island was also cultivated with various rare fire-type mesona plants.

As an area within Rosewood College where the fire arcane force was extremely powerful, some fire-type pets liked to cultivate near the island’s lava river.

At this time, a light blue stream flashed past inside the huge alchemy furnace, followed by an extremely faint muffled sound.

“Failed again.”

David Jones showed a helpless expression and then opened the elixir furnace to collect all the Star-Arcane Elixir waste inside.

“Do you know what mistakes you made this time?” Audrey Harvey asked with a slight frown.

“The temperature control was off, the heating fusion reaction between the Purple Star Fruit and Silver-Star Fruit was slow by 0.08 seconds, the refining time of the Thousand-Star Bamboo was too long, and it didn’t mix in time.”

David Jones listed all the errors that occurred during the alchemy process.

“Not bad, but your understanding of the Star-Arcane Elixir is enough. However, your mastery of the Afterglow Array is still insufficient,” Audrey Harvey commented.

!!..

David Jones nodded thoughtfully.

The higher the grade of the elixir, the more complicated it is to make. Even with the help of the Illusion-Piercing Eye, his alchemy failed because his Afterglow Array was only able to outline twenty-three Rosy-Clouds Circles, and his fire-control ability couldn’t keep up with the elixir essence reaction in the furnace.

“Haste makes waste. Perhaps I should focus on refining the Arcane-Accumulating Elixir first, which might make it easier to improve the Afterglow Array’s cultivation skill,” David Jones pondered internally.

“Let’s end today’s lesson here. Want to have a meal together in the cafeteria?” Audrey Harvey casually suggested, glancing at her watch.

“Sure,” David Jones happily agreed.

Upon leaving the Alchemy Room, he accompanied Audrey to the nearest Southern District cafeteria.

“Hello, Professor Harvey!”

Seeing one respectful student and teacher after another bowing along the way, including some King Level Experts, David Jones’ understanding of his sister’s reputation in the Pharmacy Department was instantly clear to see.

“Who is he? Such a strange face, and he can actually walk with Professor Harvey.”

“Dude, are you out of the loop? You don’t know this year’s first place prodigy talent, freshman David Jones?”

“Hold on, isn’t this freshman class not starting for another month?” A second-year student with an envious look asked in surprise.

“You didn’t know that Professor Harvey personally helped two new students complete their registration two days ago?” An ordinary-looking male student said.

“No way, would Professor Harvey actually want to take on David Jones as a disciple?”

“Who knows? David Jones, as an SSS-rank top-grade talent, which teacher wouldn’t want to take on a disciple with infinite potential?”

“But, after all, it’s Professor Harvey, a Grandmaster pharmacist who is rare even in Rosewood College!”

“Hmph, every Trainer that can enter Rosewood College is a genius. There are countless Trainers on the Myrtle List who are stronger than David Jones!” “May I ask the senior, what is your ranking on the Myrtle List?”

“This…”

Under the envious gazes of others, David Jones and Audrey Harvey found a quiet private room on the third floor of the cafeteria to sit down.

After Audrey skillfully ordered a few dishes, she handed the menu over to David Jones.

“Scallion Roasted Duck: 1 Point (10,000 Star coins)

Steamed Dragon Fish: 5 Points (50,000 Star coins)

Ice Hearted Snake Soup: 20 credits (200,000 Star coins)

Flying Dragon Steamed Soup: 50 credits (500,000 Star coins)

Rosewood Dragon Liver: 1000 credits (only accepts credit exchange)…

Looking at the expensive dishes on the menu, priced separately in points and Star coins, David Jones’s pupils shrank slightly.

Unlike the affordable dishes on the first floor of the cafeteria, the food on the third floor was really expensive, especially the Rosewood Dragon Liver, which alone was worth 1000 credits, enough to exchange for a perfect Star-Refining Elixir in the college’s Pet Resources store.

Even with his status as the top new student, his student card only had 1000 more credits than Margaret Yule.

Was this title of top new student only worth a single Rosewood Dragon Liver?

Thinking of this, David Jones quietly checked off the Scallion Roasted Duck on the menu.

“That’s enough,” Audrey said, looking at the menu without comment and checking off five more dishes in a row.

“You should be practicing a Refining Technique, right? Eating more high-level Beast meat is quite beneficial to your physical training,” Audrey suggested.

David Jones nodded without refusal.

The cafeteria served quickly, and soon, the luxurious dishes filled the table.

“Let’s eat,” Audrey beckoned.

Watching Audrey eating elegantly, David Jones took a sip of the Flying Dragon Steamed Soup first.

“Mmm, delicious!”

Feeling the rich Arcane Force gradually spreading from his taste buds, the extremely delicious taste made David Jones’s eyes light up.

“Eat more if you like it,” Audrey encouraged, and she couldn’t resist eating more herself.

After enjoying lunch, Audrey suddenly remembered something and asked, “Rosewood College starts in early September. At that time, new students will undergo a month-long military training. Your current physical qualifications are a bit of a waste of time for military training. Do you want me to help you postpone it?”

“Isn’t military training mandatory?” David Jones asked curiously.

Audrey explained: “The Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five new student military training is every year to hone the physical strength, willpower, and teamwork abilities of the new Trainers. Therefore, new students are not allowed to avoid military training.”

“However, there are always exceptions. Unlike Trainers, genius new students possessing Junior Pharmacist Badges can choose not to participate in military training.”

Saying this, Audrey looked at David Jones.

“If you don’t want to participate in military training, you better spare some time in the next month to complete the level identification at the Pharmacist Guild.”

“Audrey, is military training very dangerous?” David Jones seemed puzzled.

He could vaguely sense that Audrey seemed unwilling to let him participate in military training.

“Not dangerous,” Audrey shook her head to deny.

If there were Beasts capable of harming military training students under the protection of the army, the Flowery Kingdom would have been destroyed by Beasts long ago.

Seeing this, a hint of doubt flashed in David Jones’s eyes.

Audrey smiled, “Little brother, rather than becoming a powerful Trainer, I’d prefer you to focus on the path of a Pharmacist. Of course, this is just my suggestion, you can follow your own thoughts.”

“Every year, the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five military training top-ranked new students will receive a King level Pet or Class VI arcane implement as a reward from the army. But if you choose to give up military training and spend the extra month studying alchemy with me, I will reward you with two Class VI elixirs..”
