This idea was terrifying.
It made him unable to be completely sure whether he was being manipulated, whether each logical deduction fell into the enemy’s plan, constantly in a state of paranoia.
If he continued, he might be heading toward destruction; if he stopped, he would be trapped here forever.
This was an almost unsustainable "dilemma".
But then, he remembered the core tenet that guided him through countless experiments:
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
No matter how intricate the conspiracy, no matter how complex the trap, it cannot distort the objective natural laws.
If his understanding of elemental harmony was correct;
If the magic potion making theory he mastered was true;
Then he could create genuinely effective works.
He would take a gamble—a gamble that the truth derived from practice would not be distorted.
.........
Ron walked to the brand new cooking station, beginning to mobilize his deep understanding of the essence of fire, water, wind, and earth elements.
This time, he did not use any finished potions or composite materials.
Instead, he started from the most basic, primitive crystals representing the pure "concepts", extracting their spiritual core one by one.
First was the [Silent Mine Salt].
He took out a small piece of dark gray ore and gently stroked its surface with Spiritual Power.
Under [Essential Insight] analysis, he "saw" the true nature of this ore:
It was a crystal formed under geological pressure over countless years, embodying "patience" and "resilience".
It represented the deepest quality of the Earth Element—bearing everything without complaint and supporting all things without seeking reward.
Ron carefully ground the mine salt into powder, each grind accompanied by gentle spiritual caressing.
He needed to ensure that during the physical process, the spiritual core of the mine salt wouldn’t be damaged.
Next was the [Echo Moss].
This semi-transparent blue-green plant, in his perception, exuded a gentle and inclusive aura.
Its essence was "acceptance" and "reconciliation"—able to allow different energies to find a possibility of coexistence within it.
Ron gently squeezed the moss, extracting a few drops of amber-clear liquid.
... (Extraction process omitted)
With the essential essences of the four prepared, he began the true creation process.
This was an impromptu performance about harmony.
Despite the doubts in his heart, his operations were extremely smooth.
His understanding of the essence of elements allowed him to precisely guide different materials to achieve harmonious resonance.
Every step felt "right", each fusion of elements emitted stable and beautiful energy fluctuations.
He spread a layer of thin silver-gray powder, using the powder of [Silent Mine Salt] as the base, at the bottom of the test tube.
This represented the "foundation of earth"—the basis for all harmony.
Then, he slowly dripped in the juice of [Echo Moss].
When the blue-green liquid made contact with the silver-gray powder, a wondrous reaction occurred.
The powder began to glow faintly, like stars in the night sky.
The liquid flowed within the powder, forming a river-like beautiful pattern.
This was the "conversation" between "earth" and "water"—the encounter of stability and inclusion.
Next, he gently blew the mist of [Echo Spore] into the test tube.
Light convection began to appear in the test tube, various elements started an orderly exchange.
This was the addition of "wind"—injecting communication vitality into static harmony.
Nari and Aselia watched this process tensely.
They could feel the power contained in the magic potion Ron was creating, which was completely different from all the previous failures.
Those failures emitted chaos and conflict, but this new potion conveyed understanding and inclusion.
Carlos, on the other hand, resembled a master appreciating a work of art.
Nodding from time to time, even softly praising during certain critical steps Ron handled:
"A fine art of balance."
"The true demeanor of an alchemist."
...
These praises sounded sincere and heartfelt, making Ron’s doubts even deeper.
But he had come this far and could only continue to trust his judgment.
Next was the last and most crucial step.
Ron suspended a drop of [Bright Sun Berry] essence above the test tube mouth.
This golden-red liquid, like a suspended sun, emitted a warm glow.
He began silently perceiving the "breathing" of the three elements inside the test tube in his heart.
When their frequencies reached perfect synchronization, he gently let go.
The moment the golden-red essence dripped into the test tube, the entire Inverted Potion Workshop was enveloped in a gentle colorful light.
The essence of the four elements reached harmony at this moment.
There was no violent reaction, no blinding flash, only a deep sense of tranquility and satisfaction.
The liquid in the test tube displayed indescribable colors.
It would undergo subtle changes according to the observer’s angle and mood, sometimes like the dawn sky, sometimes like a late autumn lake.
[Gain Insight: "The Essence of Magic Potion Innovation"]
Ron named this bottle of "magic potion" [Corridor].
This name symbolizes a bridge of understanding and harmony built from contradictions and chaos, representing a channel for mutual communication between different viewpoints.
And when "Corridor" finally stabilized, a wondrous transformation followed.
The liquid in the test tube began to slowly rise, eventually condensing into a key made of pure crystal.
This key emitted a calm blue glow, with each facet reflecting different time-space fragments.
Ron held this crystalline key, seeing Carlos’s relieved expression of "you finally did it", his doubts reached their peak.
