Chapter 1395: Pill Emperor
In the end, one can only put aside their grievances and work toward never making the same mistake ever again.
Kent put aside his pain, sorrow, and self-hate and chose to embrace the life ahead of him. He can only keep on moving forward and hope that one day, he will reach the point where he won’t have to worry about anything.
That one day, he would find out the truth.
Maybe then and only then can he stop hating himself.
Upon reaching the Alchemy tower, Kent headed straight to the Pill room, where his cauldron is always ready for him to make pills.
He had already reached the bottleneck to becoming a pill emperor. The only thing left for him to take the next step is to concoct a Tier 10 pill with a grey pill ring.
He had already concocted a Tier 9 pill with a grey pill ring. However, he must take it a step further now, and that is just not something he plans on failing at, not when he planned on becoming a Pill Monarch.
And if the requirements aren’t too much, he plans to become a Pill Sovereign and even a Pill Legend before the three years for him to head to Elina’s galaxy are up.
This means he would be staying in the Pill tower for a while. His wives would have to head to the 9th floor and the subsequent ones without him.
He needs the time to take his mind off things, too.
So the moment he sat down, he retrieved the ingredients for the Mind Cleansing Pill. It is a pill said to give one clarity and calm their mind.
Naturally, he planned on doing drugs, so like the chemist he is, he would be cooking his own drug. Ain’t no better way to do drugs than if you are the chemist.
"Tower, how far is Nana coming with her seclusion?"
[Lady Nana had merged with 6 parts of her body. She has 4 more to go. At this rate, I track that she would be in seclusion for another decade or even more if she wants to return to her true form when everything is done.]
"Okay. Just keep a close eye on her and tell me if something changes."
[Okay, master.]
After retrieving all ten parts of her body that she had scattered across the 10-pill worlds, Nana entered seclusion to merge back with them and finally became the Apotheosis Cauldron, her true form.
Kent is more than happy to see what becomes of her once she is done.
Kent nodded and began heating the cauldron. Since he is inside the tower, he unleashed his Tier 16 soul flame and started heating the cauldron.
His soul flame is powerful enough to take him all the way to the rank of a Pill Legend, where he can make Tier 16 or even Tier 17 pills without much struggle.
So making a Tier 10 pill with a Tier 16 flame is overkill, and he knows that. However, that also didn’t mean he would have it easy. Tier 10 pills aren’t something an ordinary pill king can make.
In the vast universe, they are considered the start of pill making. Of course, in a High world, Tier 10 pills are highly sought after. However, immortals see it as a waste.
Even so, a Tier 10 pill with even a grey pill ring will catch the attention of even an Immortal. So Kent chose to go all out and make sure that when he is done with this seclusion, he will become a different kind of alchemist.
After heating the cauldron, he began the extraction process.
Extracting medicinal essence from a Tier 10 ingredient isn’t the same as extracting from a Tier 9, so he was being careful.
After an hour, he extracted the essence from all 14 ingredients. He then began burning impurities while condensing.
It took him another hour, a clear sign that the Tier 10 pill is vastly different from a Tier 9 pill. While he was able to do all this within an hour with the Tier 9 pill, it took him two good hours now.
Of course, he would learn to reduce that time to a more suitable one once he masters Tier 10 pill-making. But until then, he went ahead to condense and purify the pill.
However, while he expected a pure pill, he received a 90% pure one instead. This soured his mood, but he merely tossed it away and started a new batch of pill making.
That too came out 95% pure.
He didn’t frown this time, but he tossed it away and tried a third time. This time, he managed to get a pure pill within 3 hours, but had no more essence to attempt a pill ring refinement.
He didn’t toss this one away, but he didn’t consume it either.
Instead, he went in for a 4th trial, and for three hours, he worked on refining another pure pill. This time around, he managed to concoct a pure pill with a partial grey pill ring.
That was a great achievement.
"I suppose I took a huge leap, and it is plain now that I hold this pill in my hand. However, I also can’t help but wonder why things only seem to get more difficult as my understanding expands."
Kent looked at the pill in his hand for a few minutes before tossing it into his mouth. At once, his mind started to expand, or at least that was how it felt.
In actuality, his mind was rather clearing out space. It was making sure all unnecessary stuff was cleared for a much clearer thought to settle in.
So while his mind wasn’t expanding, he felt the space opening up like it was an expansion. This process took a couple of minutes, but when the pill had done its job, Kent felt refreshed.
He quickly started a new batch of pill making, making sure he took advantage of the clarity he had gained to think deeply into his understanding of alchemy.
Three hours later, he had achieved his goal.
⟦You have concocted a Tier 10 Mind Cleansing Pill. Purity: 100%, Pill Ring: Grey⟧
⟦You have fulfilled all the requirements to become a Pill Emperor⟧
⟦Congratulations, you are now a Pill Emperor⟧
The messages appeared, and a smile followed. However, he didn’t stop to see where he had to go next. Becoming a Pill Emperor is just the start.
He wants to be able to concoct a Tier 10 pill within an hour, so locking in for three days, he started making one pill after another, making sure every batch of pill making reduced the time taken to make the previous one.
It wasn’t easy, but after three days and a dozen times making the same pill, he had achieved an hour spent making a Tier 10 pill.
He spent another five days and a few hundred thousand tower points on pill ingredients to try his hand at other pills.
After making seven different pills in under an hour each, he finally decided to rest and see where he goes next.
He had just received knowledge of a Pill Emperor and the requirement to become a Pill Monarch, so he settled down under a tree to review those messages.
