Zen continued to utilize his BloodJade Fla to burn the impurities in a swift manner.
The look of ease on his face shows his familiarity with this kind of process, almost like he could close his eyes and still manage to complete the task.
"If you're going to keep staring at then I'm afraid your cauldron might explode soon," Zen teased slightly when he felt Daphne Callia constantly gazing at him.
However, he wasn't going to bla her because his dazzling skills in alchemy are indeed too srizing for her eyes.
'Heh, Cecilia has forced to refine the Mana Recovering Pill multiple tis and if I have ever failed one then I have to restart from the beginning,' Zen sneered inwardly as he trapped Daphne Callia into his sche.
The act of stalling and making multiple excuses was to confuse Daphne Callia's mind into making her feel confident and believed he was a fraud.
It may be a dirty tactic but who could she bla but herself for being overly haughty and confident.
Daphne Callia could barely even concentrate on her own cauldron when she saw Zen's control of the fla was even more superior than her.
Heck, he even made the fla start dancing around the cauldron, almost like he wasn't even afraid of ssing up the temperature.
'Damn it, just what kind of monster is he?' Daphne Callia cursed inwardly when she felt her cauldron was shaking from the turbulence of her fla.
At this rate, her loss of control in the fla would destroy her entire effort in extracting the impurities out from the ingredients.
Zen sneaked a glance and saw her current situation with a smirk on his face.
"Never once would I ever underestimate my opponent even if I looked carefree on the surface," Zen mumbled softly as his victory was now guaranteed when he saw Daphne Callia sweating.
To put the finishing touch on his creation, Zen purposely made his BloodJade Fla erupt in beauty as it transford into a phoenix, causing Daphne Callia to completely stop her fla at the scene occurring.
"H-How is that possible?" Daphne Callia stuttered and held a disbelief expression as she saw sothing that has never been done before in her life.
"You an the fact that I can manipulate my fla into a phoenix?" Zen chuckled softly when he saw her shocked expression.
Although it may seem amazing to be able to change his essence fla into a phoenix, Zen knew it was rely a failure when he saw how Cecilia manipulates her essence fla.
Cecilia's fla control made it seem to be alive while Zen knew his skills were far from reaching her level.
As the BloodJade Fla in its phoenix form slowly disappeared, Zen snatched the pill that popped out from his cauldron.
Afterward, Zen glanced at Daphne Callia with a smug expression. "Sorry, Daphne Callia but this alchemist face-off is my win."
Daphne Callia who was still dazed from the previous phoenix fla looked at Zen with a confused expression.
"What do you an-" Daphne Callia paled when she realized she was still in the alchemist face-off and tried to refine her Mana Recovering Pill.
Alas, it was already too late for her to notice as the ingredients were ruined as the pure essence was mixed with the impurities now since she has stopped her fla.
Clenching her fist in anger and disbelief, Daphne Callia could only accept her defeat.
"T-The second person ever to beat in alchemy" Daphne Callia mumbled softly when she was once again beaten by soone. Never had she imagined it would be possible for her to lose to anyone else besides Morgan Pelora.
"You don't have to be so disheartening on losing to because I'll have you know" Zen said slowly and continued, "I have practiced this Mana Recovering Pill more than 3,000 tis and if I even failed one during that ti then I must restart from the beginning."
Zen almost felt a chill running through his back when he recalled the fact that he failed at 2,999 and had to restart from the beginning.
Those were the days that Zen had wished he never tried to learn alchemy because Cecilia was a demon when it cos to lecturing him.
There was no way she would be lenient at him and would thrash him if he ever dared to laze off when it was ti to refine those pills.
anwhile, Daphne Callia was unable to believe his words about refining 3,000 pills consecutively. 'Hmph, did he really think I'm so weak woman that can't accept defeat?'
Daphne Callia stored her cauldron back into the spatial ring before staring at Zen. She gnashed her teeth before taking a deep breath to calm down and showed a solemn expression.
"Speak, what do you want for winning this alchemist face-off?" Daphne Callia said slowly while feeling sweat on her forehead.
If Zen was to say he wanted her body for the night then there was no escape for her unless she decided to be a shaless scoundrel like him and deny losing to him.
However, she couldn't do it because of her pride and status in the Callia family.
Zen could pretty much guess her thinking when he sensed her emotion.
Heaving a soft sigh, Zen decided to go easy on her for once. "Since I basically won because of you lending the ingredients to we can just call this alchemist face-off a tie."
Afterward, Zen stored his cauldron and Mana Recovering Pill into his spatial ring as he prepares to leave the backyard.
When Zen was about to open the door, Daphne Callia suddenly grabbed his wrist, causing Zen to glance at her in surprise.
"Do you take for a fool? You don't have to act like a generous person when you're a scoundrel," Daphne Callia said and continued.
"So state your condition already. I won't be like you and try to go back on my honor."
Zen stared at her in amusent. 'A haughty lass but soone with dignity in her blood huh.'
