Chapter 556 Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemy Exam

Soon, an hour passed.

Davis was then let inside one of the rooms connecting the hall where he skipped entering a rectangular formation that had been placed vertically and required one to pass through to check one’s bone age.

Davis almost laughed at seeing this because it looked like the checking that would be placed at the entrance of the mall, airport and such places that needed strict security.

Except this rectangular formation seemed like it checked one’s bone age. It seemed to have four dull-colored stones embedded in it. He felt that the four colored dull stones probably indicated a person’s age approximately.

Davis ignored the formation unobserved by anyone and crossed into another room.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Then without much discussion, he took the Theoretical Knowledge Test while being supervised by a Low-Level King Grade Alchemist, managing to score a lot than he initially expected.

The Low-Level King Grade Alchemist surprisingly nodded in admiration and brought him to the next test where he had to decipher a pill to derive the ingredients used to create it.

Davis cleared it without any surprises but he acted as if he was having trouble deciphering the contents of the pill, only submitting it at the last moment. Even then he deciphered 70% of the pill, making the King Grade Alchemist view him in an approving light.

As for the final test, the pill concoction test, he had had to pay about 400 Mid-Level Spirit Stones to use the ingredients required to make a Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill. There were two sets of ingredients, hence, he felt like he could make two batches.

He then additionally rented the Pill Cauldron placed there for a 100 Mid-Level Spirit Stones and within the time limit set for him, he successfully concocted the Citrine Cloud Talon Pill, a Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill!

The batch contained the pills which were all at the Normal-Tier.

The pill looked ocean blue on one side and ink-black at the other, however, different than the other pills which were just at the size of a pellet, this pill was at the size of a small ball.

As for how he obtained the Pill Recipe, just like Soul Emerging Pill, he had many Pill Recipes at Earth Grade, Sky Grade, and King Grade. He had obtained it all from Old Man Garvin.

However, in the final test, there was a bit of a problem.

Davis then explained that it was used on the Citrine Cloud Beast to increase the strength and sharpness of its talon, making it durable as a Peak-Level Sky Grade Armament, maybe even a near Low-Level King Grade Armament in pure strength.

The examiner’s eyes shot wide when he heard Davis’s explanation.

Citrine Cloud Beasts were used as flying mounts by many cultivators since it was only an Earth Rank Magical Beast Species that could grow up to the Saint Beast Stage; the Sixth Stage.

However, like all Magical Beasts, not all Citrine Cloud Beasts could reach the pinnacle of their current growth potential, only managing to hover in Low-Level Saint Beast Stage, unable to move further without resources and involving themselves in gruesome battles.

On the second level, many cultivators had these mounts, however, only a few mounts had reached Peak-Level, but the cultivators had to spend enormous amounts to increase the level of their pets but such a pill was produced by Davis for a cheap amount.

The examiner’s eyes widened in glee.

Even though he was a Low-Level King Grade Alchemist, his chances of making a Low-Level King Grade Pill hovered at thirty percent, meaning, that he would have to waste three or more times the ingredients to successfully succeed in King Grade Pill Concoction.

Furthermore, King Grade Ingredients weren’t roadside vegetables that are available at all times. They are even harder to find and grow artificially than the Sky Grade Ingredients.

Most of the time, they would have no choice but to request King Grade Ingredients from the headquarters situated in the Thousand Pill Palace Territory.

This essentially made the cost of King Grade Ingredients not much different from the pills that would be produced in their pill concoction.

After all, if they increased the price of the King Grade Pills, then no one would purchase it, instead, choosing to go to a large territory to purchase it where it might be cheaper.

So unless he had the confidence, he would never try concocting Low-Level King Grade Pills, only widely accepting commissions that were at Peak-Level Sky Grade.

’This... This old man possesses a Mid-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivation and holds a Pill Recipe like this? Not only is he able to cross levels to make pills but he is also able to produce Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills at Normal-Tier...’

Hence, the examiner became quite dumbfounded.
