245 I Know That Expression Way Too Well! (1/2)

Krune then started with his extraction process. Because there was more than a single herb, he had to divide his time between them. Of course, his extraction was still a lot better than anyone in this competition. Krune took almost two hours to finish it. After that, he went through his memories about the content available for Golden Stars Pills.

'Hum... So the main issue here is how to use the Law that you understood to force a synergy. There are obviously better Laws for certain types of pills, but generally, almost any Law can be used to make pills. For alchemy, Laws involving Fire, Wood, and Water are the best-suited ones. Since I comprehend the Burling Law, that should help a lot.'

Krune was a little lost at how exactly he should apply the Burning Law to his pill concoction. But then he remembered that Kaio Tirenia used it to eliminate the impurities of the Medicinal Liquid.

'That's right, let's try to use the Burning Law for impurities cleaning. Considering my actual control over the Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy, I shouldn't have too big of a problem adding it to the mix... or so I hope.'

Krune took a look at the Medicinal Liquid in his cauldron, and his eyes became sharp.

'Let's give it a try. In case I fail to make this pill, I should still have enough time to make a Silver Stars Level one. I am, after all, trying to jump four Stars at once.'

Krune activated his Spiritual Fire and started to clean the impurities in his Medicinal Liquid. As soon as he started, he also brought forward his understanding of the Burning Law.

'Impurities, only the impurities. I can't overdo it!'

It turns out that adding the Burning Laws to his Spiritual Fire had made the Flames quite fierce. Still, he could control them as long as he did it slowly.

Beds of sweat soon started to appear on Krune's face, but he didn't notice it at all. His entire focus was on the Medicinal Liquid and the Impurities.

'Impressive, the Spiritual Fire fused with my Burning Law is reducing the impurities to nothing! If just I had greater control, I could do it a lot better and faster. Well, I'm still at the Sixth Stage of the Core Formation Realm, and this is also my first time doing it, so it can't be helped.'

On the stage, Palo stopped for a second to see how Krune was doing. But he soon noticed what was happening and sighed.

'He's being too hasty. I thought he had misspoken when he said he would try to make a Golden Stars Level Pill. But it seems like he wasn't. Still, it is too early for Krune to do that. The Burning Law won't just Burn the impurities. It will burn grand part of the Medicinal Properties too. You need a long time of practice to even think about trying such a thing.'

Palo then resumed his watch over the other alchemists.

”Impossible!”

His voice was quite loud, so everyone watching him Live or through the internet noticed his change. Soon, they found out that the one beside him was 'Jolk,' so immediately, Jolk's viewers exploded once more.

Still, the majority couldn't understand what made Kaio so impressed. Jolk had indeed started to concoct his pill after so long. But was there a need to be surprised by that?

Of course, there were those who immediately understood what was happening and why Kaio Tirenia acted that way.

”Doesn't the information says that he was supposed to be a Six Silver Stars Alchemist? How come he is using Laws, then?”

”Check the information about this Jolk guy, it is obvious that the Rimeria Solar System is hiding his information.”

”That's not quite right, did the Rimeria Solar System Alchemist Headquarters lie in the information available. It says that this Jolk was supposed to be at the Sixth Stage Core Formation Realm. Still, just by seeing how his flames are acting, I can totally tell that he is using a Fire Related Law. Is it the explosion Law? No... maybe Annihilation? No, that's probably Burning. I can't confirm it through this video, though.”

”Why are you calling me at this time? What? A Junior Alchemist Competition? I don't have the leisure to wa... Okay, I will take a look.”

Kaio noticed that he had lost his focus and immediately shook his head.

'Ignore him, ignore him. You still have one more pill to finish, Kaio Tirenia. Focus on your job, not his.'

Around thirty minutes later, Palo took another look at Krune. He was totally expecting that Krune would have started everything again after the failure. But to his surprise, not only didn't Krune fail, he seemed to be very close to success.

'Unbelievable.'

On Krune's side, he was feeling tired already. It was his first time using Laws actively. Although Krune was getting a lot of experience during it, it doesn't change that controlling his Flames fused with the Burning Law is quite a stretch.

'Just a little more, and I will be done with it. Almost there!'

Finally, Krune completed the impurities cleaning process. Of course, since it was his first time doing it, his medicinal liquid was still affected somewhat. Fortunately, it was not enough to be considered a failure.
