43.5 Gruelling task (1)

Bluey suddenly felt suppressed as he tried, but couldn't stand up.

'What is this... Pressure?'

"The one you said was the most unstable; The psychic element. There's something wrong with it!"

"That's... Actually made me understand why this happened." Bluey, who was tensed up, relaxed.

"The strongest element in you right now, despite you having two literal pet fire elements by your side, is, surprisingly, the psychic element."

Xuanmei, who was in the air, looked at him questioningly.

"The thing is, you are actually causing this to happen. The calmer you are about it, the more you cause your power to grow. By being slightly less cool headed, you might have already lost connection with your element."

Xuanmei nodded, fluctuating her feelings while waving frantically, as the psychic elements finally disappeared back into her, causing her to come crashing down.

"However, because the psychic element broke out unknowingly, you can now only try using your psychic powers until you actually control it, in which you can then switch yourself back into other elements."

"This is a major disadvantage, because for now, your second strongest and the element easiest to control is now disabled. Psychic elements, though, are now stronger and you will now easily hurt anyone unknowingly if you are not careful."

"It is advised that you do not show your powers and instead practice in a safe location devoid of any other humans or beastly presence."

The pressure finally dissipated, as Bluey heaved a sigh of relief, standing up in a wobbly manner.

"For now, let's continue making the pill. If it manages to accidentally open any seals, it might give the cat a larger advantage than that of what he has now."

"First, place in the goddess tear and the dragon scales. By doing that, you should be able to ignite a reaction. The goddess tear will completely dissolve the dragon scales, even though it is notorious for being very hard."

"Stir until it comes to a slow boil, After which, add in a drop of dew and it's colour should turn from scarlet red to a purplish hue. No further instructions til then."

Xuanmei, looking into the empty Caldron, already ignited with a purplish flame from the incident, placed a metallic red coloured dragon scale inside.

Then, dripping the tear of a goddess on it, the shell like hard scale was broken into, as the tear that split into half, the other half of the tear suddenly bounced into the Caldron and seeping into the caldron, when suddenly, the tear reemerged, and like a jumping dolphin, gracefully lept through the Caldron and condensed.

The droplet becoming as large as an orange before it jumped back, repeting the process ten times, filling half the Caldron, while the whole first layer of metallic dissolved, red staining the water. Xuanmei waited patiently, as Bluey ordered her to get the golden plywood.

"Split through the middle of the bark by just cutting the top horizontally."

Doing so, she found that it was just like regular wood. Firm, and, well, wood-y?
