Ace materialized inside his system space, as the familiar hum of activity filled the air.
His first stop was Akha, who was standing by, her hands already holding a spatial ring containing the freshly refined pills.
He inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of herbs.
She handed them over. "Here, they are freshly refined. We will need more herbs for more refinements."
Ace nodded, taking the neatly packed pills.
"I'll keep that in mind," he replied.
Before he could walk away, he noticed Khani and Kathum running towards him, their faces radiating a quiet pride.
Both of them looked noticeably happy as well.
"Master, we've advanced to Level 2!" Khani said, her tone filled with accomplishment.
Kathum's grin was wide, showing her usual confidence. "Took a lot of effort, but we finally did it."
Ace's heart swelled with pride, his excitement almost too much to contain.
"Congratulations!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine joy!
