Chapter 1004: Pill Warrior (1/2)

Dalila Leehan slowly nodded her head as she finally recalled that there were methods to increase the pill essence by absorbing the essence of the other same pills of the same batch, but only if it was immensely difficult, only able to be done by precise controllers of soul force. It was also vague in the sense that she hadn't tried using such a method in the first place, and neither have her seniors or teachers, making it so that it was a relatively unknown method to concoct pills among their circle.

This made her not realize that Alchemist Davis could've used this method in the beginning. She stared at Alchemist Davis's smug expression but was once again shocked by his prowess, making her think that he was a monster among Soul Forging Cultivation Alchemists!

At this point, Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim personally flew down as he left the third tier and cast a strange, fiery look at Davis. He didn't say anything but snatched the pills from Elder Belias Alstreim and brought his palm towards his face.

”This pill's essence and powerful energy are similar to one of the rewards we prepared. Does that mean this pill is...”

”Indeed...” Davis smiled, ”It's Body Tempering Cultivation Pill that helps one breakthrough to the Martial Master Stage.”

”But how can it be? It's... It feels potent than the one we have! The one we bought from the Thousand Pill Palace!”

”Could it be an advanced or an improved version of the pill!?” Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim's split almost flew as he salivated.

Dalila Leehan also looked at Davis in a flabbergasted manner. Body Tempering Cultivation pills weren't easily obtained as the ingredients were relatively harder to find in the Nine Eastern Territories! It was especially the case when it came to King Grade Ingredients of Body Tempering Pills! Here, they were as rare as Emperor Grade Ingredients in the mid-sized Territories.

”No! It is not possible! You used entirely different ingredients to concoct these pills. So no matter what, it cannot be the same!” Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim seemed to reject his own hypothesis.

He looked to and fro, constantly thinking about how it could be before he finally looked at Alchemist Davis.

”W-What... What are the chances of a breakthrough!?”

Davis lifted both his hands up and bent three of his ten fingers.

”S-S... Seven percent...?”

”That's quite rude...” Davis chuckled as he dropped his hands before clasping it over his back while his lips curved into a smirk, ”Seventy percent...”

”!!!?”

Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim froze on the spot while Elder Belias Alstreim's jaw dropped. Princess Isabella's eyes flashed as she smiled. She didn't expect the pill's efficacy to be that high!

Even Dalila Leehan displayed a similar reaction before she echoed in an incredulous manner.

”How can it be!? There's no way it can be seventy percent!”

Everyone turned to look at her in astonishment before they nodded in understanding.

It was one thing if the pill's efficacy were to just increase the chances of a breakthrough by seventy percent, but this matter weighed on the prestige of the Thousand Pill Palace! After all, the Thousand Pill Palace only possessed a pill recipe that was capable of chances of a breakthrough to the Martial Master Stage up to thirty percent!

The pill that the Alstreim Family bought was a Normal Tier Pill that increases the chances of up to twenty percent!

And here was Alchemist Davis, who claims that his pill increases the chances to seventy percent!
