Aiden Knight's POV
The golden flames dancing around my palm cast long shadows across the penthouse walls as I carefully extracted the last pill from the Hundred-Herb Cauldron. The ancient bronze vessel hummed with residual energy, its surface still warm from hours of continuous refinement.
I held up the perfect sphere of condensed spiritual energy. The pill gleamed like a captured star, its surface smooth as polished jade. This batch would enhance my cultivation by at least two minor realms if consumed properly.
The Samsara Graveyard had provided detailed instructions for these enhancement pills. Each one required precise timing, perfect temperature control, and spiritual energy manipulation that would have been impossible for me just months ago.
I sealed the pills in a jade container and stored them in the hidden compartment behind the bookshelf. Tomorrow's duel would require every advantage I could gather.
