Chapter 1004 Pill Warrior

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 s.n.a.t.c.hed 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!

She found it absurd and offending all of a sudden!

"Hehehe..." Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim awkwardly laughed, "Alchemist Davis, even I find it hard to believe that this pill can increase the chances of breakthrough to seventy percent. Seventy percent is more than enough for an average Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage Cultivator to breakthrough to the Martial Master Stage. I-"

"That's what I'm saying..." Davis raised his brows as he shook his head with a shrug.

Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim's smile froze as he didn't know what to answer.

"Then prove it!" However, Dalila Leehan echoed while her expression flourished with a sense of discovery. Although she was offended, it wasn't like she wasn't interested in this pill's true efficacy as an alchemist!

She couldn't let this claim rest just like that and wanted the pill's effects to be determined!

"This is undoubtedly a Low-Level King Grade Pill, and I accept my loss! However, if you insist that your pill is capable of increasing the chances of breakthrough to the Martial Master Stage by seventy percent, then prove it!" Dalila Leehan repeated as she swung her hand, her big bosoms heaving along with her abrupt movement.

Davis blinked before he shrugged, "Alright then, I won't insist anymore. You're free to believe whatever you want..."

"You!?" Dalila Leehan's expression became taken aback before she clenched her teeth, "You have already made an inconceivable statement in front of all these people! Do you think you can get away just like that because of your backing? What would happen to your reputation as an alchemist!?"

Davis narrowed his brows in displeasure before he gave up, "Then what do you propose we do? How do I prove that this pill can make a Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Cultivator enter the Martial Master Stage without a brave soul at that level who will swallow this unknown and unverified pill?"

"At the Peak-Level of Martial Ascendance Stage... I wonder if there is anyone who is willing to be a Pill Warrior for me? Mhm!?" Davis raised his voice as he looked around.

And seeing that no one stood up and even avoided his gaze, he shrugged at Dalila Leehan, "Any other way?"

Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim inwardly sighed. A cultivator had reached the peak of the Sixth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation would definitely not take part to test the efficacy of this unverified pill unless they had a death wish or was going to die of old age. Unfortunately, it seemed like there was no one present here who seemed to be daring or crazy enough to test the pill.

"Who said someone isn't willing to be a Pill Warrior?" Dalila Leehan turned to look towards Nora Alstreim before it fell on a burly man who seemed to be her protector.

"Yahu! Come here!" Her voice echoed in a commanding tone.

Yahu, with a burly build, took a step forwards and flew into the skies. His square-shaped face looked a bit rough on the edges while his black hair mixed with strands of white hair flowed in the air as the wind brushed past him.

He released his fist, and his earth attributed essence energy punched open a hole in the defensive formation!

*Bang!~*

A breaking sound echoed before the formation patched up itself. However, a silhouette already rushed past the barrier before he stood in front of them.

Everyone's expression changed as they could tell that he was a Low-Level Law Sea Stage Cultivator! They sucked in a cold amount of breath, thinking that the Thousand Pill Palace's Top Pill Disciples do get a special, self-ent.i.tled treatment that lets them be unbridled in Low-Level Emperor Grade Powers!

Yahu eyes flashed as he glanced at Alchemist Davis before he returned his gaze at Dalila Leehan, sending a soul transmission, "Young miss, do you really want me to take part as a Pill Warrior?"
