Primordial Chaos Dragon Tower: Harem System

Chapter 803: Refining [Bonus]

They are almost done with the condensing process. The next big thing, in this case, is refining. That is where a true master comes in. Suoh was pumped for the next phase of the alchemy process.

‘Tower, if you can see this, then please record. I want to review it later,’ Kent said in his mind before focusing back on the duel.

He hadn’t been able to talk to the tower since he appeared in Pyris, but he was sure the Overpowered Tower was monitoring everything.

And since the next phase of the duel has to do with refining, he wants to gain as much understanding as he can siphon from what he will see. The rest would be obtained from the video if the tower were able to record it.

“Pay close attention, brother Kent. Moments like this come only once.” Kent took in Suoh’s advice and focused his full attention on the duel.

Pill King Han Lu was the first to complete the condensing process. He came out with a Tier 10 pill, showing that despite condensing first before refining, he even managed to push the pill to the 10th Tier.

Of course, the moment he finished, he activated a different technique meant for refining.

“That is the classic Nine Steps Refining Technique.” The flame around the cauldron of Pill King Han Lu was now green, showing he was using a much stronger or perhaps a well-suited flame for the refining process.

The entire cauldron was enclosed in pale green flame.

Hearing the name of the technique, Kent couldn’t help asking.

“Does the technique have something to do with the green flame around the cauldron?” The name of the technique suggests that it has different effects on the pill.

However, in pill making, Kent understood that every stage, or perhaps technique, requires the right flame.

One cannot achieve success with just one type of flame. If it is a soul flame awakened manually, then it must devour all kinds of flames and gain their aspects.

He himself had already received two flames from the tower before awakening his soul flame. So he knew every stage of the technique had to have a unique flame that the pill would benefit from.

Of course, if his theory were proven right, then Kent would be about to copy the Pill King, for having such a technique would not only give him a fair idea of how to refine the pill but also how to utilize the various aspects of his soul flame.

For example, the poison aspect of his soul flame cannot be used for making pills like the Qi Gathering pill. It is too toxic for such a pill. However, when it comes to making poison pills, it will be perfect for it.

In that case, having the right technique, such as the Nine Steps Refining Technique, will not only make the process much smoother but also make it more grounded and easier to refine, a rather pure form of a poison pill.

“From what I know, this technique is common; however, it is difficult to cultivate. Pill King Han Lu was one of the few who managed to cultivate all nine steps.

The reason is that to be able to cultivate it, first, you must find nine different types of flames that have some correlation to refining and purifying pills.

It is not easy to gather that many flames, and as far as I know, each flame must be at least Divine grade.

Once those are gathered, you will need to learn how to arrange them in a way that complements each other. That is where most fail, for a slight mistake would not only spoil the technique but also compromise the overall result and even affect the flames you gathered.

Once that happens, you won’t be able to learn it ever again.

Pill King Han Lu had managed to accomplish all that, and the flame he is using now is the Verdant Flame.

This flame allows him to nurture the pill and bring out the latent nutrients still hidden in the harmless impurities in the pill.

Basically, every step has a different refining effect, and by the time he gets to the ninth step, he might actually be able to pull it off.”

Kent nodded, already paying close attention. However, five minutes after Pill King Han Lu started, Pill King Yota also condensed his pill, coming out with a Tier 10 pill.

So the race began, with the end goal of concocting a Tier 12 pill with a purity level of 90 or above. It was the passing mark, so they all were aiming for the highest score, and Kent could already start to see the rivalry brewing slowly.

Only three hours were left, and each had managed to bring the grade of their pill to Tier 11, but they weren’t done. They continually refined and nourished using various techniques to achieve the best results.

With only one hour left, Kent finally saw where real mastery of pill-making comes in. Both Pill Kings were just a step away from concocting a Tier 12 pill, but there was nothing else Kent could see them doing to push through to that step.

This left him wondering what would happen next.

“Moments like this are when you witness those with true mastery when it comes to alchemy. They are both in a bind, and with less than an hour left, they will either come out in a tie, or one will manage to reach the Tier 12 stage.

Even so, it is uncertain whether they will be able to maintain their purity levels. Either way, one of them will be winning today.”

“Isn’t that obvious? The duel was set so that the two would compete, and only the best would win.” Kent smiled and focused on the duel.

Thirty minutes before the time ran out, the two Pill Kings changed techniques, and instantly, both their pills broke into the Tier 12 stage, causing hush and gasps to spread across the sitting area.

“Now, things have become even more interesting. With the two in a bind, the chances of one coming out on top are less likely. If anything, they will be drawn,” Suoh said, but Kent shook his head.

“I think Pill King Yota will win.” His words contained confidence, the kind spoken with certainty.

“How sure are you? They both attained Tier 12 pill grade and managed to maintain their purity, which, judging by the smell of the pill, is 92%.

So, how sure are you he will win?”

“It is simple. Pill King Yota has more understanding of the flame than Pill King Han Lu, and that will be how he wins.”
