Just as Frank nodded and was about to swallow the pill in one gulp, someone called out, "Hold on!" Yosil had been quietly observing, but he had suddenly shouted out.
The audience turned their heads in surprise and looked toward Yosil.
"Chief, is Kornac's Keep deliberately favoring that kid?" "Yeah, Chief! He criticized an elder for lacking skills and abilities since he couldn't see through the secrets of his pill. Do you really want someone like that?" As the crowd buzzed with discussion, Yosil remained composed. He approached Frank slowly and carefully took the pill from Frank's palm.

Encased within the pitch-black mudball was a pale yellow liquid that swirled with the movement of the pill.
"This..." Although Yosil maintained a calm demeanor, he was deeply shocked inside.
Was that... the marrow fluid of the mudroots that had been refined? Yosil was in disbelief. He dared not imagine that the liquid within the pill was indeed the marrow of the mudroots refined to its utmost purity.
This little bit of liquid inside the pill was actually the largest amount of essence one could obtain from the mudroots.
According to Yosil's understanding, there was no one in this world who possessed such exquisite skills, with the ability to refine the marrow fluid of a single medicinal herb so thoroughly and in such a short time.
There was only one person in the world he could think of who had such an ability, but that person had long perished under the combined efforts of masters from various factions.
And now, this young man, who was barely thirty years old, could achieve such a feat? Yosil had dedicated his life to studying the traditional medical practices of Draconia, but even he could not accomplish such a technique! "What? So that's..." While Yosil was carefully examining the pill in his hand, Horey happened to glance at it from her angle. She noticed the liquid moving inside it under the sunlight and instantly, her face was filled with shock. It was as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

She stared blankly at the pill in Yosil's hand and muttered under her breath, "Kairo, that's..." Due to her surprise, Horey trailed off for a while before she continued.
"It's a contravening method I accidentally saw before. It's one that clashes with conventional medical wisdom... I never thought I'd witness it in my lifetime... It's unbelievable, really..." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesHorey was completely absorbed in her fascination at this moment and could not hear what was going on around her.
Meanwhile, Kairo felt like thunder had struck him and could not muster a smile anymore.
He stared at the black mudball in Yosil's hand, unable to discern any mystery within it.
In fact, he found it somewhat absurd.
Were his abilities inadequate? Or were his junior and Yosil collaborating to put on a show? It was just an ordinary and even slightly pungent mudball that he had once stomped on. Why did it surprise them so much? "Ahem..." Everyone's attention was fixed on Yosil, who had been lost in thought for several minutes. Finally, e sèt down the pill and cleared his throat ly.
