"W-What's happening?"

Veia opened her eyes. She looked towards Floriana Sabina in confusion.

"I'm cloning my disciple."

Floriana Sabina explained to her with a wide smile. Veia couldn't actually hear Rant Valo's screams as it was done in his soul body. A soul body is the body formed by the soul when it exits its flesh body.

"Clone!? Isn't that insanely hard?"

Veia exclaimed in shock. Cloning is supposedly only done by powerful cultivators. No cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage would dare to attempt it.

"Look around, I already prepared two bodies for him."

Floriana Sabina pointed to two of Rant Valo's bodies around her.

After chatting with Veia, Floriana Sabina focused her attention on Rant Valo's soul body. It was directly ripped in half. His eyes were unfocused. It looked like he lost his consciousness.

A jar appeared in Floriana Sabina's hand. She opened it and a burst of semi-transparent white soul energy escaped. It all flew towards Rant Valo's ripped soul and healed it in real time.

"P-Pain…"

"P-Pain…"

The two Rant Valo murmured. His consciousness slowly came back to him as his ripped soul body was healed. It completed the two halves and he ended up with two soul bodies.

"M-Master Floriana?"

"M-Master Floriana?"

The two Rant Valo's regained consciousness and saw her. There was still confusion on their faces.

"Welcome back, Disciples."

Floriana Sabina smiled.

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

The two Rant Valo looked at each other blankly.

"A mirror?"

"A mirror?"

They both said at the same time.

"Anyways, I'll put you in your respective bodies now."

Floriana Sabina informed them. She waved her hand and the two Rant Valo's entered the two empty bodies.

"Hahhhh!"

"Hahhhh!"

The two Rant Valo's opened their eyes and sucked in a great amount of air in sync.

"Hello, Disciple 1 and Disciple 2."

Floriana Sabina greeted the two of them with a smile.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

They both tilted their heads in confusion.

"Wait, you're the clone!"

"Wait, you're the clone!"

They both pointed at each other.

"Alright, stop."

Floriana Sabina clapped hands together to get their attention,

"None of you are the clone. You're both Rant Valo."

She explained to them.

"..."

They both looked at each other silently. They didn't know what to feel about this situation.

"You are Veia's Rant Valo."

Floriana Sabina pointed to the Rant Valo occupying the original body.

"And you are mine."

Then she pointed to the other one with a wide grin on her face.

"???"

"???"

The two Rant Valo's looked at her in confusion.

"This is so annoying. Here! Practice this and sync your soul up together."

Floriana Sabina threw a book to her Rant Valo. The other Rant Valo walked towards him and they both read the book together.

"Sigh. Having your souls unsynced with each other only makes it more confusing for me."

Floriana Sabina sighed. They would just keep saying the same thing until they both experience different things, only then would they think differently from the other.

"Grandmaster, there are two Masters! I can feel it."

Veia walked closer to Floriana Sabina and said to her excitedly.

"No. Before you say it. You can't do it with his original body or his clone."

Floriana Sabina shook her head. She could guess what's on Veia's mind already.

"I-I wasn't thinking of that!"

Veia denied Floriana Sabina's words in a fluster.

"Hmph! His original body would accompany you while the clone body would accompany me. This way, we don't have to worry about getting his affection."

Floriana Sabina snorted before explaining to her.

"R-Really!?"

Veia's eyes shined with joy. She was gonna have her own master that was only for her.

"Yes."

Floriana Sabina nodded her head with a smile.

"Soul Link!"

"Soul Link!"

The two Rant Valo's suddenly shouted. Their bodies glowed brightly and a link between their souls was formed.

"Woah. It feels like I have two bodies."

Rant Valo's original body said in amazement.

"You 'do', Disciple."

Floriana Sabina smiled at him proudly.

"It feels amazing. It's like I can do more."

Rant Valo said to her. His clone opened and closed his hands to try it out.

"You can use your clone to cultivate. This original body of yours can stay at that cultivation level."

Floriana Sabina explained to him.

"I understand, Master Floriana."

Rant Valo nodded his head in understanding.

"Do you have a Pill Furnace, Master Floriana?"

Rant Valo asked her. If he wants to try making a pill, then he would need to have a Pill Furnace.

"There."

A Pill Furnace appeared in front of them. It was a small furnace with three stands. It had an opening on top where you presumably put the Medicinal Plants.

"Thank you, Master Floriana."

Rant Valo thanked her and his clone walked to the Pill Furnace and sat in front of it.

"You're welcome, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina replied to him with a sweet smile.

"Master Floriana, do you have these ingredients?"

Rant Valo's clone passed a list to Floriana Sabina.

"I don't."

Floriana Sabina replied with a smile still on her face.

"Then how would I practice alchemy?"

Rant Valo's clone looked at her blankly.

"Practice getting the furnace on any temperature accurately."

Floriana Sabina taught him.

"But I don't have any magic techniques that involve fire."

Rant Valo's clone responded to her.

"Use this."

Floriana Sabina passed Rant Valo's clone a 15cm/6in rod. It was black in color and felt cold to the touch.

"What's this?"

Rant Valo looked at her in confusion. This was just a metal rod.

"That's a Magical Device. Pour your mana into it and it will produce fire on the other side."

Floriana Sabina explained to him. It is a Magical Device that converts mana into flame. It was used by cultivators who wanted to become an alchemist but couldn't practice the Fire Element.

"Oh! This is very convenient."

Rant Valo was surprised that something like this exists.

"Use it well, Disciple. If you have talent in alchemy, I'll find you a master for alchemy."

Floriana Sabina said to him with a faint smile on her face.
