246 You are saying that on purpose, right? (1/2)

Krune looked at the medicinal liquid in the cauldron that was ready to become a pill. All he needed to do was to take the last step.

'Should I try it? But if I fail, I won't be able to achieve the condition that Senior Palo requested. Still, I really think it might work.'

The idea that Krune came up was to use the Extreme Infusion technique that he learned with his Purple Fire. In addition, he would use his Burning Law too. He knows that the Burning Law alone is already enough to make the normal spiritual fire to become fierce. But that is also because his control over it isn't good enough.

'Oh well, if I can't join the Headquarters, I can still take regular jobs. It's not like they pay much lower than them anyway. The only problem is that because of my poor control with the Burning Law, I took way too long to finish everything. The twelve hours are almost up already too. Anyway, let's start!'

Krune then gave up forming the pill and immediately changed the form of his Spiritual Fire. Its color suddenly changed to purple, which puzzled everyone looking at him.

Palo, of course, was one of those watching at the moment.

'Purple? What is that? I've never seen an alchemist using a purple spiritual fire.'

He then checked it with his Divine Sense and got even more puzzled.

'Weird, I can feel a power similar to the Tribulation Lightning, but why is it purple? Anyhow, let's see what he is planning.'

Krune ignored everything happening around him and started to use the Burning Law as well. Immediately after, the already hard to control Tribulation Fire became even more fierce.

'But this is okay. I just need to hold for a single minute, and that will be enough.'

Krune had already finished the entire process of creating the Medicinal Liquid for his pill, so there wasn't really anything else to be done anymore. Using his purple fire to increase the level of the pill was just a last-second method. Of course, it is a very risky one since he is also using the extreme infusion technique, which is hard to control as well. One minute was simply Krune's limit.

The effect of the Law of Burning immediately started to take place in the medicinal liquid, and the Extreme Infusion Technique added more and more energy to the composition.

'I'm using High-Level Herbs and Minerals, so it should be fine.'

10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds...

Krune' cauldron started to tremble, but Krune couldn't care less about that, he only paid attention to the medicinal liquid inside.

40 seconds, 50 seconds...

Krune was already feeling the burden of controlling the purple fire, extreme infusion, and Burning Law. Beads of sweat streamed from his whole body. It was evident how hard it was to control all three at the same time, even for him.

60 seconds!

'That's it!'

'Wait, wait, wait! Aren't those High Level materials? Why is it losing control? No, no, no!'

Unfortunately, the cauldron and medicinal liquid didn't listen to his thoughts.

Noticing that he would fail the pill creation, Krune greeted his teeth and threw caution to the wind!

”To hell with it! I will form this damned pill even if I have to lose everything!”

Krune didn't notice that he had shouted instead of think, but he couldn't care less either even if he did.

Knowing that there was almost no time remaining, he immediately started to gather the medicinal liquid and form the pills. In fact, with the amount present, he would be able to make three of them.

”Gather, gather, gather! Faster, faster!”

The fact that there was so much energy inside the cauldron ended playing a big role in the pills formation. Krune used that same energy to further compress the medicinal pills. Finally, the Cultivation Stabilizing Pills were formed.

”Success!”

Or so he thought.

It's not because the pills were formed that the chaotic energy inside disappeared. Especially after it had been fueled by both Krune's purple fire and Burning Law.

Just as Krune was about to take the pill, the cauldron lost control, and the energy inside rushed out! He only had the time to taker one of the pills before the energy in the cauldron sent him flying! The remaining two pills ended becoming part of the fuel for all that energy.

Palo and the other examiners looked at that, and their faces went pale too.

”Not good!”
