Chapter 1680: Legendary Moment In Alchemy
[Planet Qilin - Everlasting Pill Mountain]
"I can’t believe a day like this would ever come," a man clad in a green robe said as he sat among others wearing the same robe.
Around them, thousands of others, many bearing the same color of clothing and badge, could be seen seated, all staring at the stage where a beautiful silver cauldron stood.
Clearly, whatever reason there was for all of them to gather here had to do with alchemy. Every last person present was either a Pill Divine or a Pill Immortal.
"The last time something like this happened was when Pill God Brandon attempted to concoct a Tier 22 pill with one Crimson, three Violet, and five Azure pill rings. To think Pill Immortal Flura is attempting the same tier of pill but with two Crimson Pill Rings. If she succeeds, it would be mind-blowing."
"I know, right? When she submitted her request to the Eastern Pill Council, I expected them to reject her. But to think she was actually granted permission to host this gathering."
"I learned that the Five Pill Sects and the Four Pill Clans had been threatening her to join them, or else they would destroy her, but she refused. If she succeeds, all of them would be beneath her."
"If that was her reason for this gathering, then I hope she succeeds. Those bastards sure have some nerve threatening a fine alchemist such as Pill Immortal Flura."
"They should be ashamed of themselves."
As more people discussed various topics, others kept arriving, the majority of them Pill Immortals. Some wore silver Pill Immortal badges, while others wore gold Pill Immortal badges.
Soon, someone unique with a Platinum Pill Legend badge arrived and took his seat in a quiet corner.
The man possessed the aura of an Immortal King, and he looked far too young to be sitting among Pill Immortals, some of whom appeared to be in their sixties.
He was also a red-haired half-elf, something that made him stand out like a sore thumb.
The moment he settled down, many started whispering about him.
"Look, that Mad Alchemist is here as well."
"I learned that he spent an entire month moving from one Pill Sect to another, challenging alchemists to duels. The last I heard, he had defeated a Pill Legend, and a day later, he became a Pill Legend himself.
Three days later, he concocted a Tier 19 pill with two Violet and four Azure Pill Rings.
Right now, I’m sure he’s here to gain inspiration and attempt to become a Pill Divine."
"What a monster."
"Between him and Pill Immortal Flura, who do you think is better?"
"That remains to be seen, but he is a good alchemist for sure... minus the mad part, that is."
The redhead smiled slightly, ignoring what people were saying about him. Though he didn’t mind, since everything they said was true. He had indeed done all they said and then some.
Naturally, this redhead was Kent in disguise.
When he and Zeraphine returned to the tower, Kent decided to focus on alchemy. Using the time inside the tower to his advantage, he completed the requirement and finally became a Pill Sovereign.
He had to concoct a Tier 15 pill, which he managed after spending a week practicing.
The moment he accomplished that and became a Pill Sovereign, memories of his life as Pill Celestial Kevin Sage returned to him. It wasn’t all of his memories, but it was enough to pave the way for him to reach the Pill God stage.
However, with his memories restored, the requirements to become a Pill Legend also tripled.
He completed some of them inside the tower, while the rest led him to the Pill Star System of the Eastern Region.
The moment he arrived, he began challenging prominent alchemists who stood at the peak of their respective levels to make a name for himself.
His first pill duel was against a Pill Sovereign who had already earned a Diamond Badge.
In alchemy, there are several badge ranks. The first is Bronze, followed by Copper, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Platinum.
Some say there is also a Ruby Badge, but that is only awarded to Pill Gods. But it had been many years since anyone had earned such a badge.
After defeating that Pill Sovereign, he went on to challenge others, and soon his name began to spread throughout the Eastern Region.
In no time, he became a Pill Legend, and he continued onward, building an even greater reputation. He concealed his identity since he wanted to draw more attention before revealing who he truly was.
Another reason he hid his identity was to ensure Pill Immortal Flura would not recognize him. This way, he could surprise her later.
Luckily for him, he learned of her event and decided to attend. A part of him wanted to see how far she had grown and also identify those who were using their power and influence to pressure her into submitting to them.
If they dared make a move on her, he wouldn’t mind sending them to the afterlife.
With his path now leading toward the Pill Divine stage, he planned to cement his status first before revealing himself to the world of swordsmen.
His swordsmanship had already surpassed his alchemy by a considerable margin before he ascended to the immortal realm.
But now, he had improved his alchemy far beyond even his swordsmanship.
While he sat there, his gaze remained fixed on a blue panel that nobody aside from him could see. Displayed on it was a quest he had received upon arriving here.
He never expected the Tower and the Quest Pool to give him such a quest.

[Rank: SSS+]
[Description: Foil the plans of Pill God Brandon and sow the first seed that will sprout and bloom into your inevitable clash.]
[Reward: Fruit of Resentment]

The quest description was very vague. However, Kent knew his target was the bastard Vexthra wanted him to kill.
’So your name is Brandon, huh? Very good. I will begin my revenge today and, in the near future, I will rip your tongue out of your mouth.’
A cold light flashed across his eyes, but it vanished the next second when a drop-dead gorgeous lady he recognized all too well walked onto the stage with a beautiful smile on her face.
Kent had no idea what had happened, but Pill Immortal Flura was now sporting long green hair paired with dreamy green eyes. Just like before, her breasts were moderate in size, and her hips were exactly as he remembered—not overly large, but broad and accentuated by her slender waist.
Her facial features had also become more refined. Her delicate cheekbones and cherry-blossom lips made her even more beautiful than before.
As she walked toward the stage, Kent could sense the aura of nine Absolute-Grade Primordial Flames within her. These were the very flames he had helped her obtain back when they entered the Pill Ascension Realm together.
Now, she had nurtured them, strengthened them, and completely adapted to every single one of them, finally completing her [Nine Flames Refining Art].
’Way to go, Flura. Now let’s see whether you can make history and earn recognition from the Pill Dao.’
What she was about to attempt had never been done before.
Not even the legendary Kevin Sage had attempted such a feat.
It seemed Flura truly wanted her name engraved upon the Pill Dao Tablet. That was why she had chosen this path and worked tirelessly to arrange this legendary moment in the history of alchemy.
If she succeeded, her name would spread far and wide throughout the universe...
