Chapter 1000 Crude-Tier?

"Hence, I have decided to give a chance to the nurture the alchemists who have obtained the sixth, seventh, and the eighth-place!" Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim audibly announced.

The alchemists on the stage became stunned! Many at the latter ranks lamented why they didn't try a little bit hard, but those who were able temporarily to obtain the sixth, seventh, and eighth positions became excited as they smiled like fools! They couldn't hide their smile while forgetting to keep calm. They even looked at each other, feeling each other's excitement build up as time passed by!

"Of course, they would have to prove that they can keep up with my teaching! Otherwise, I will send them out without even providing an explanation!" Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim warned.

"Grand Elder is wise..." Elder Belias Alstreim uttered words of courtesy before turning his body to look at the Thousand Pill Palace's Top Pill Disciple.

He wanted to clarify this matter beforehand since he knew that there was a minute chance that Alchemist Davis might also get into the top five. Augustus Alstreim did not concoct an Advanced Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill like Sophie Alstreim and Claudius Alstreim, so he felt that it was plausible that Alchemist Davis would oust Augustus Alstreim, pushing him back to the fifth place if Alchemist Davis miraculously concocted an Advanced Tier Pill against all odds!

However, he also mused that it didn't need to be an Advanced Tier Pill needed to win against Augustus Alstreim since if the number of Normal Tier Pills Alchemist Davis concocted alone were to exceed Augustus Alstreim's Normal Tier Pills, it would be Alchemist Davis's win!

At that time, only three candidates would be available for nurture when judged by the previous criteria, but now, with Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim's words, even sixth, seventh and eighth place candidates became eligible to be nurtured!

Although this was detrimental as the resources would be spread out to the extra one in the six rather than the initial five, Elder Belias Alstreim felt that it would still be beneficial in the long run!

He arrived before Dalila Leehan and saw that she still had not taken her pills outside the cauldron despite finishing way earlier than the others. Her speed didn't mean that her concoction had been easy, but it meant that she possessed the skills that were way above what they were capable of!

Even he couldn't help but feel envy over the techniques and methods she used to refine and concoct the pill. However, he also mused that those twelve wisps of flames being simultaneously controlled with each of them radiating their own heat; only Alchemist Davis's technique was capable of being exquisite than Dalila Leehan's techniques.

Nevertheless... He didn't know which one was actually the superior technique as he didn't possess knowledge of higher-grade concoction techniques. This was also the reason why the alchemists of the Alstreim Family could never compare to alchemists of the Thousand Pill Palace. They never played on equal ground!

"Please hand over your pill concoction results."

Dalila Leehan soberly nodded her head and formally did the necessary steps to secure the pills. Opening the lid, using her non-corrupting soul force to extract the pills out of the cauldron before neatly placing them in the two vials she had between her fingers. She did all these in a clean and formal manner, and her movements were without any error, dramatically flowing like a melody.

It was as if she practiced this many times in her path to being a grand alchemist!

In response, Elder Belias Alstreim respectfully took the two vials before giving a deep look.

Two seconds passed before he raised his head and resplendently smiled as he was in awe," This is a Starfall Blood Pill! Using the Starfall Blood Herb as the sole main ingredient with twenty other supplementary ingredients, it is capable of making a Law Manifestation Stage Cultivator restore more than thirty percent of his lost blood essence!"

"Two Normal Tier Pills and Six Advanced Tier Pills for a total of eight pills! It's a grand feat, considering the difficulty to concoct eight pills of Peak-Level Sky Grade quality pills as a Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage Cultivator is very difficult in the first place!"

*Woahh!!~~*

The masses stood in uproar as they cheered for Dalila Leehan. They spoke in loud voices about her, praising her beauty, skills, and her background in a lengthy manner, musing that it was only normal that she was able to concoct a pill with such an effect in an effortless manner!

"Congratulations on obtaining the first place, Top Pill Disciple Dalila Leehan!" Elder Belias Alstreim couldn't stop smiling.

In reality, he was smiling so hard as to not reveal his frustration even though he felt respect for her as an alchemist!

The nectar wasn't going to belong to them! Instead, it was going to belong to that Dalila Leehan and Nora Alstreim, whom he hated a bit!

"It's still too soon to say..." Dalila Leehan shook her head with a frown.

She looked at Alchemist Davis, wondering what in the Fifty-Two Territories he created. Even if he was not up to par, she very much wanted to know what kind of pill he created since even she, a Top Pill Disciple of the Thousand Pill Palace, couldn't tell by occasionally glancing at the concocting process.

She was deeply curious!

Nevertheless, Elder Belias Alstreim didn't take her words seriously and knew that it was just her humility. After all, even the last ranker gets to be in the first place for some time if the others aren't graded yet.

He approached Alchemist Davis with a consoling smile on his face, and soon enough, he stood in front of him.

"Alchemist Davis... There is nothing to worry about, so just take this expand as a tempering session... As long as you make progress in the field of alchemy, one day, you'll look back and won't even remember us, nor recall an event like this transpired. At that time, feel free to recall this middle-aged man's words, hah-aha..." Elder Belias Alstreim consoled with a bit of humor in it.

Davis couldn't help but smile a little at that self-deprecating humor.

Elder Belias Alstreim knew that he had succeeded in gaining a bit of favor and asked.

"Now, I'll be thankful if Alchemist Davis lets me see the pills that you have concocted."

Davis nodded his head and repeated the same steps as Dalila Leehan, following it to a level; although not as perfect as her, he did radiate a scholarly aura that made the women who intently watched him fall into a trance.

If their thoughts were to be translated, they felt that he was ART.

However, when Elder Belias Alstreim looked at the blackened pills that entered the vial, he pursed his lips tightly to not accidentally comment on it!

The way these pills looked as if they were near-trash pills! They do provide some effects but were worse than Crude-Tier that they were not even included and considered as a tier by official alchemists!

And just as he expected, since he floated by the side of the cauldron, he stretched his head and looked at the mess that was left under the bottom of the cauldron. There was a blackish dreg that remained, emitting a foul odor.

Pill waste!
