Chapter 1683: Making History (3)
’Youming, isolate the essence and burn the tiniest impurity you can find.’
’Hundian, I like how you are protecting the essence. Keep at that, and I will reward you when we are done.’
’Benyuan, buddy, I can tell you have learned from your previous mistake. That is nice. Keep learning, and I have no doubt that when we meet Kent again, we will beat him black and blue.’
Pill Immortal Flura kept issuing commands while controlling the flames herself to burn the impurities. All around, many could only stare in shock as all five flames worked together to burn the impurities.
It was simply too mind-bending, and that was perfectly understandable. Four hours later, she exhaled and smiled. This was a signal that she had finished burning the impurities and was now about to condense the pill.
This part was also very essential. After all, condensing a pill without wasting any essence meant retaining more than enough essence to refine pill rings.
After making sure she had calmed down a bit, she got right to condensing the pill. So far, she had spent eleven hours extracting the essence and burning impurities.
Condensing took less time, but to be on the safe side, she started slowly.
Soon, a couple of minutes passed, but nothing out of the ordinary happened, which was a good thing.
After all, burning the essence would have been alarming. But to everyone’s shock, she had yet to make any mistakes.
And that trend continued for another hour and a half before people started to smell the aroma coming from the pill. This showed that she was close to completing the condensation process.
Thirty minutes later, the pill was fully condensed, and the next major stage began.
Everyone retrieved recording jades and started recording the refining process. If she succeeded, this moment would go down in history, so many began recording, making sure every single moment was captured clearly and perfectly.
Kent also shifted in his seat when the process was about to begin. He knew with certainty that this was where Pill Immortal Flura would show her true prowess, so he sat back, relaxed, and watched.
Lo and behold, the moment she started refining the pill rings, a sixth flame lit up.
This shocked everyone else, but Kent remained calm, observing closely to uncover the hidden nature of her flames and what was giving her such confidence.
As she continued refining the pill rings, Kent noticed that she was still holding something back. However, since he did not yet know what it was, he allowed her to continue.
Soon, the first pill ring was formed.
She started with the lowest rank, forming an Azure Pill Ring.
Then, in less than a minute, the second formed, and soon the third followed.
Forming ten Azure Pill Rings was as simple as breathing for a Pill Immortal, so it did not take long before Pill Immortal Flura completed all ten Pill Rings.
Then she moved on to the next stage: the Violet Pill Rings.
"Is she seriously forming the lower rings first before the major ones? I mean, shouldn’t she have tried forming the two Crimson Pill Rings she claimed she would be forming first?"
"I asked myself the same question. This feels like a lost cause to me."
"Same here."
More and more people started wondering the same thing. From what they had come to learn about pill rings, after refining a pill, forming the most important rings first was always ideal.
Since there was no endless supply of essence to refine, going for the best was always the path every alchemist took.
So, for her to have started from the lowest rings felt a bit unreal to them.
On the platform, the invited elders shared the same mindset.
"She is deviating from her objective. At this point, she might as well stop before she fails to form even a single Crimson Pill Ring," Sect Master Tianheng exclaimed, a look of disappointment appearing on his face.
Some of the elders and clan heads shared the same opinion, except for Elder Zhen Kai from the Pill Council.
"I think you are all mistaken about one thing. While it is true that forming the major rings first is the most appropriate path, we choose it only because we usually have limited essence to work with.
"This young lady, however, has done the impossible. She extracted the essence and burned away the impurities without a single drop wasted. This means she has more than enough essence to accomplish what she set out to do.
"This means she has absolutely nothing to worry about."
"If that is the case, then she truly is someone worthy of her reputation," Clan Chief Longue added, and the others nodded.
Unbeknownst to any of them except Kent and Pill Immortal Flura, what was happening inside the cauldron was simply mind-bending.
To everyone else, Pill Immortal Flura only had six flames, but to Kent, she had nine, with three hidden inside the cauldron doing something Kent never imagined another person besides himself would be crazy enough to attempt.
Inside the cauldron, one flame was refining the pill, another was refining a Crimson Pill Ring, and the last was doing the same thing, refining the second Crimson Pill Ring.
From what many knew, until one gained the qualification to become a Pill Supreme, refining a pill rings outside the pill was impossible.
It had to be done from within the pill itself. Once the ring appeared, it could no longer be refined.
Refining them separately and later merging them with the pill was something only a madman would attempt. It was one of the few things Kevin Sage had invented back in the day, and now, Pill Immortal Flura was doing it.
’Did she gain some enlightenment, and the Pill Dao reveal some of my techniques to her?’ Kent wondered.
Though inwardly, he was more than happy to see someone think outside the box for a change.
’Proud of you, Flura. But damn, what do you have up your sleeves that I just can’t see, even with my overpowered eyes?’ His frustration was evident, but Kent remained calm.
His gaze stayed fixed on the Crimson Pill Rings taking shape. Soon, all five Violet Pill Rings were formed, and by then, the fragrance of the pill had filled the entire arena.
All around, many could sense the overwhelming power radiating from the pill. They could all tell it had been refined to perfection, which made them smile and applaud her.
However, with none of the Crimson Pill Rings visible, many were left wondering what had happened.
Kent, who had been seated, slowly stood and lifted his head toward the sky.
With his [Omniscient Jade Eyes], he was able to see the tribulation clouds gathering, and at once, he knew Pill Immortal Flura would not be able to handle what was coming alone.
Inside the tower, his wives and legion were paying close attention. Just like him, some of them had also sensed that what was coming was beyond the level of an Immortal Lord.
’Do you need help?’ Vexthra asked.
’No, at least not yet. If I need help, I will call you over.’
’Okay.’ She nodded.
Meanwhile, back on the stage, Pill Immortal Flura suddenly slapped the side of the cauldron, and a lid opened, shooting a golden pill into the air. This action caused many to widen their eyes.
Before anyone could say anything, her other hand struck the cauldron, and two red pill rings flew out, causing jaws to drop.
