Chapter 999: Top Five (1/2)
”Oh? You seem to be not wary of Alchemist Davis's results?” Elder Belias Alstreim chuckled.
”Uncle!!!” Sophie Alstreim muttered in a low voice, afraid that Alchemist Davis might've heard it and misunderstood her thoughts.
After all, it was normal for everyone who had the knowledge to think that Alchemist Davis's initial state of the concoction was slow, not powerful, non-invasive in terms of extracting the essence out of the powerful ingredients. Hence, even if the concocting efficiency in the latter stages had abnormally improved after breaking through, it is normal for them to expect that Alchemist Davis at best would produce a Normal Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill!
It couldn't complete to what she had produced, a single Advanced Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill!
Even so, Sophie Alstreim didn't dare to cast a glance at Alchemist Davis but instead supported him, ”So what if Alchemist Davis's pill concoction wouldn't be up to par?”
”Everyone with eyes could tell that it would be just a matter of time before Alchemist Davis shines in the eternally long, back-breaking field of alchemy.”
Elder Belias Alstreim laughed, ”Little lass, have you finally fallen for a man?”
Sophie Alstreim stared daggers at her uncle while blushed as her heart began to beat rapidly. She cast a side-glance with the corner of her eyes, but when she saw that indifferent expression on his face, her hopes became dashed as her excitement died down.
'That's right... Compared to Young Mistress Nora Alstreim and Thousand Pill Palace's Top Pill Disciple Dalila Leehan, I don't stand a chance...'
It was as if a bucket of cold water was splashed on her head.
Seeing that she did not reject the statement but have a strange expression on her face, everyone whistled at her in a teasing manner.
”Alright, alright...” Elder Belias Alstreim stopped them before he moved on to the next participant.
He arrived towards Augustus Alstreim, but before he could even ask, the latter readily handed him a vial.
Elder Belias Alstreim was not surprised. Alchemists had their own method or preference to condense the pill essence. Some do it above the cauldron while gathering all the essence paste to condense pills, while some do it inside a half-sealed cauldron so that they can harness the complete essence of the pill without losing efficacy.
Augustus Alstreim seemed to have followed the former method to condense the essence of the pills.
Elder Belias Alstreim promptly checked the vial before he announced the results, ”This is an Eminent Moon Pill. It abnormally helps the user gather the abnormally special heaven and earth energy at the time of the solar eclipse, enabling them to increase their Gold Stage Body Tempering Cultivation, and it even helps one to successfully step into the Martial Ascendance Stage, but the chances are of it happening is eighty percent.”
”Four Normal Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills!”
”Haha, I knew that I was lacking...” Augustus Alstreim self-deprecatingly laughed.
Elder Belias Alstreim patted his shoulders, ”Don't worry, with four Normal Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Eminent Moon Pills, you are still within the top five!”
Augustus Alstreim nodded his head, but his heart ached that he couldn't obtain the rewards in the end. Even though he expected it, it was such a disappointment that he inwardly sighed as he lamented his lack of skills. However, his expression became curious as he watched Elder Belias Alstreim head towards the man who got the first place in the second round...
Claudius Alstreim!
Claudius Alstreim waved his hand, and two vials readily appeared in his palm. Elder Belias Alstreim's eyes became focused before he smiled in an appreciative manner.
