Chapter 1682: Chapter 1679 - Making History (2)
The ingredients Pill Immortal Flura had selected for the Soul Tempering Pill were all of the highest quality, each worth billions of Spirit Stones.
A single ingredient alone could support the cultivation needs of an entire Medium World for several years.
As such, everyone who understood the value of those ingredients sucked in a cold breath when she tossed the [Spirit Wind Vein] into the cauldron.
After all, she had prepared only a single set of ingredients.
One mistake would mean the end of everything.
Her control over the flames was precise as she began refining the ingredient, carefully extracting every last trace of essence hidden within it.
Unlike Kent, who had already mastered Perfect Extraction—a feat he had achieved even in his previous life—Flura had yet to reach that level of mastery.
Even so, she managed to achieve a ninety-five percent extraction rate, a result that very few alchemists in existence could rival.
Most alchemists became stuck at eighty percent.
Talented individuals could reach eighty-five percent.
The best of the best, often referred to as geniuses, could push themselves to ninety percent.
As for prodigies, they generally ranked between ninety-one and ninety-five percent.
Already, achieving ninety-five percent extraction was an extraordinary accomplishment.
However, whether she could maintain that level of precision through all fourteen ingredients remained to be seen.
Once she finished extracting the essence of the first ingredient, she tossed the [Sandering Flame Seed] into the cauldron and immediately began refining it.
This time, the process took less time than before.
Soon, the second ingredient was completed.
Then came the third ingredient.
An [Ancient Soul Bone] harvested from an extremely powerful soul-type beast.
Next came the [Chaos Pearl] and the [Mind Clearing Herb].
As more ingredients were refined, the gathered alchemists began to sense a faint aroma rising from the concentrated essences floating within the cauldron.
The [Soul Silver], [Heavenly Torment Root], and the bloodline essence of a soul-type beast soon followed.
With every ingredient successfully refined, more and more people found themselves wondering the same thing.
Could she truly refine all fourteen ingredients without ruining even one?
The answer remained unknown as they watched ingredient after ingredient disappear into the cauldron.
After extracting the essences from treasures such as the [Starlight Soul Jade], [Void Crystal], [Dragon Spirit Scale], [Phoenix Soul Feather], and [Primordial Night Dew], it was finally time for the main ingredient.
Pill Immortal Flura carefully lifted the [Soul Lotus Core].
With a delicate motion, she allowed it to hover above the cauldron for several seconds before gently releasing it.
The moment it descended into the cauldron, countless eyes narrowed.
Many of those present had attended the previous Quarter Auction held by one of the Eastern Region’s most prestigious auction houses.
They could clearly remember the fierce bidding war that erupted over the [Soul Lotus Core].
At the time, Pill Immortal Flura and another Pill Immortal had battled relentlessly for ownership of the treasure.
In the end, Pill Immortal Flura emerged victorious.
Back then, many believed she had overpaid.
Now, however, they finally understood why she had refused to back down.
After all, the person she had competed against was widely recognised as someone destined to become a Pill God in the near future.
Yet she had still fought for the treasure without hesitation.
And now, standing before them all, she was about to prove exactly why.
The person in question was present, albeit in disguise.
When he saw the precious lotus he had lost at the auction being lowered into the cauldron, he sighed and clenched his fist.
’Bitch, just wait. Soon, I will make you pay for ruining my plans.’
He gritted his teeth as a faint killing intent flashed across his eyes.
Kent, who was extremely sensitive to any form of intent, immediately picked up on the fluctuation and silently commanded a Shadow Fiend to slip into the man’s shadow.
The moment he made a move, his head would be rolling off his shoulders.
Hours passed.
Soon, after seven hours, all fourteen ingredients had been successfully refined and their essences extracted.
The moment the extraction phase was completed, everyone shifted in their seats.
They all knew that the next step would determine whether Pill Immortal Flura would succeed or whether everything up until now had been for nothing.
The five Sect Masters, the four Clan Heads, and the elder from the Pill Council all sat at the edge of their seats, eager to see what Pill Immortal Flura had prepared next.
Sect Master Qianyu let out a sigh.
"The last time, it was at this stage that Pill God Brandon failed, causing him to lose one Violet Pill Ring."
"Indeed," another elder replied. "I was there as well and witnessed everything. He overheated his cauldron, which resulted in more essence being burned away than intended."
Pill Immortal Flura smiled and took a deep breath.
The next second, she flicked her hand.
Three additional flames ignited.
Gasps instantly echoed throughout the arena.
Already, the fact that she had been controlling two flames simultaneously was enough to turn heads.
Now, she had unleashed three more, bringing the total to five.
The moment the flames appeared, they surrounded the cauldron and moved in perfect synchrony, assisting their master in purifying the remaining impurities from the essences.
"This is unreal," a Pill Immortal seated among the crowd muttered, looking dazed as he watched the five flames work together seamlessly.
"The last time I checked, only Pill Gods and above could control more than two flames at once. Just how powerful is her soul that she can manage five?"
"Forget that. What I’m focused on is the fact that all five flames are Primordial Flames, and every one of them has reached the Absolute Stage. Where did she even find them, and how did she make all of them submit to her?"
"Wait... you’re right!"
"No way. That completely escaped me."
"Just where did she obtain five Primordial Flames?"
The more questions people asked, the more details they began noticing.
The mere fact that she possessed five Primordial Flames was enough to make countless people wonder about her true background.
No answers were forthcoming.
The only person capable of providing them was completely focused on burning away the impurities within the extracted essences.
Meanwhile, Kent continued observing Pill Immortal Flura from his seat.
While everyone else was focused on her possession of five Primordial Flames, his attention was fixed on something entirely different.
Something far more shocking.
’This feeling... has she already cultivated her flames to the Extreme Stage?’
The thought surfaced in his mind as he sensed that the truly astonishing part had yet to be revealed.
Pill Immortal Flura appeared far too relaxed for someone currently handling such a delicate process.
Kent, having interacted with powerful elementals in both this life and his previous one, could sense that there was something profoundly different about the flames she was controlling.
And he was right.
While everyone around her continued discussing and speculating, she was calmly enjoying a conversation with her flames.
What many people—including Kent—didn’t know was that Pill Immortal Flura had long ago nurtured her Primordial Flames to the point where all nine of their Flame Spirits had reached the Extreme Stage.
However, several months ago, something even more astonishing had occurred.
Without warning, all nine Flame Spirits evolved into a new state.
A state they referred to as Primordial Flame Spirits.
According to them, just as humans could awaken Primordial Souls, they too had crossed into a similar realm of existence.
Furthermore, they claimed that if she could eventually nurture them to the Eternal Stage, they would one day transform into Sacred Flames, just like the legendary Nine Nirvana Flames.
Her confidence had never come from discovering some ancient alchemical secret.
Nor had it come from hidden knowledge left behind by ancient masters.
No.
Her confidence came from the absolute trust she had in her Nine Primordial Flames.
She believed they would help her accomplish what no one else had ever achieved.
’Taiyang, don’t rush to finish too early, buddy. We have more than enough time to show these old fogies who’s boss.’
Her yellow flame immediately responded.
’Okay, Big Sister. It’s just that I can’t wait to see what we’re making this time.’
’Me too, buddy.’
Pill Immortal Flura smiled inwardly.
’Xuanyuan, I like the flow. Keep it this steady, and we’ll make history soon.’
A gentle feminine voice answered.
’I’m looking forward to it too, Big Sister.’
