Chapter 995: The Final Round

The Soul Emerging Pill.

Davis mused that even the Thousand Pill Palace should not possess a pill of this caliber with them. If these people came to know that he possessed the pill recipe to such a pill, then it is possible that they might pester him to no end or even try to take drastic measures, not bothering about the Dragon Queen's background!

After all, resources regarding the soul were always taken seriously. Their demand wasn't the least bit low, and they were getting rarer and difficult to find. Consequently, it is a given that large Territorial-based struggle is going to be involved at first sight of the Soul Emerging Pill.

Hence, since he was not going to concoct the Soul Emerging Pill, it was a given that he was going to concoct something else.

Davis's lips curved into a sharp smile as he took this seriously. He was not ashamed to scam them of these rare and precious ingredients that were hard to find, maybe taking centuries to discover since he was sponsoring them the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar in reality.

"Now then, I assume every participant is ready?" Elder Belias Alstreim looked around, unaware that he was just scammed big time by a brat. He saw that none of the participants raised an objection, so he nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Good!"

He looked towards Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim when the latter was about to do the same thing, turning to look at the Dragon Queen, but she shook her head, causing him to laugh awkwardly.

Inwardly thanking the Dragon Queen for her ability to understand etiquette, he stood up and opened his mouth, "Everyone, I am driven ecstatic by your skills in this Alchemy Exchange! I can no longer wait to see your dazzling performance in this last round, but before I announce the start, I hope that the person who wins will be magnanimous enough to share the grand reward put forth by the Dragon Queen with us!"

"Of course, in exchange, we are willing to entertain your request no matter as long as it is within the Peak-Level King Grade!"

Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim sheepishly smiled, "Of course, it is negotiable, so..."

"That's all this old man has to say to you younglings. May the true alchemy exchange begin!"

Everyone instantly took out their cauldrons, making the crowd become strangely excited again. Davis also simultaneously took out his cauldron, and it garnered a plethora of gasps as the enthusiasts managed to find out that it was a...

"I-t... It's a Peak-Level King Grade Cauldron!!!"

Collective gasps could be further heard from the spectators.

Davis looked at the yellowish turtle dragon-patterned cauldron. It was none other than the Roaring Turtle Dragon Cauldron, which Evelynn bought for him on an errand! It cost him 100,000 High-Level Spirit Stones to purchase this cauldron!

"Hehe, the Dragon Queen treats her subordinates truly good... Going as far as to purchase a Peak-Level King Grade Cauldron for your subordinate's growth is admirable and rewarding indeed!" Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim praised.

Princess Isabella nonchalantly chuckled, "It isn't like you are all going to believe me if I said that he obtained it through his own wealth anyway..."

"Mhm!?" Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim looked taken aback while the other Elders possessed similar expressions on their faces, partly amused and partly bewildered.

Alchemist Davis acquired that Peak-Level King Grade Cauldron by himself? They felt that the Dragon Queen must be kidding...

Even with their eyes closed, they could see that that turtle-dragon patterned cauldron must've cost over a hundred thousand High-Level Spirit Stones, so how can they not doubt Alchemist Davis's ability to buy that cauldron?

Even some Law Sea Stage Experts have that much wealth as their savings and couldn't afford to spend it all on a single cauldron!

Unless Alchemist Davis came from a huge background in the first place, they found it harder to believe that this young man had purchased it through his own wealth!

Davis poured some spirit water into the dry cauldron, making the inner surface moist and wet.

He then took out a few ingredients and placed it on a simple wooden table he summoned to his side. He gradually began to refine those ingredients with his soul force, crushing it by forcibly compressing, grinding, and in that, burning a few parts into aromatic ashes.

All these took him a few minutes to do with precision.

After working on these few ingredients he took out initially, he waved his hand as a few ingredients again came out, but all of them floated in the air, glowing in a plethora of colors from their attribute aura. There were seven such main ingredients whose quality must be untainted or crushed, ground, unlike the initial ones.

Their essence must be maintained wholly in their original state for the concoction to be successful!

Davis checked his inventory once again before he started the pill concoction process. He threw the initial ingredient, which looked like a herb but was an ingredient that changed the entire spirit water into green in color. It was known as the Incandescent Brazen Green Herb. It possessed the properties to combine all the other six ingredients by slow amalgamation process; hence it was the first one to be used.

A few minutes passed as he let it soak in like that, and even without the flames, that ingredient seemed to dissolve in the spirit water before its essence became completely one with the cauldron.

Davis monitored the cauldron, so he knew that this was the moment and threw two more ingredients in at the same time, and simultaneously, two rows of six-tiered flames wisped into existence, intensifying in a blazing manner.

Mystifying Dozen Flame Control!

It was the King Grade Pill Concocting Technique that was imparted to him by Old Man Garvin.

Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim widened his eyes in shock!

Looking at the upper row of six flame wisps that were blazing with intensity, and the lower row supplementing the upper row with more heat, causing the heat produced to multiply, the dignitaries became awed by the sheer skill and ingenuity by the concoction method!

"Is that... A Peak-Level... King Grade Concoction Technique?" Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim, who possessed the most discerning eyes in regards to alchemy, possessed a disbelieving expression on his face.

He looked at the Dragon Queen for clarification.

Princess Isabella smirked as she shook her head, "How am I supposed to know? I do not know Alchemy."

However, she became incredibly proud that he managed to make a Grand Elder's mouth hung agape.

She watched him concoct pills in interest. His concentrated expression made it all the more endearing for her to watch, and perhaps for the same reason, she became entranced in watching him work hard.

Davis's brows furrowed as he adjusted the heat of the flames according to the situation of the ingredients.

The quality of his soul force directly correlated to the amount of heat he could produce, but if he was an expert in Fire Laws, the intensity could've been further increased. Unfortunately, he was not and had to rely on his suppressed quality of soul force to melt these ingredients in an accurate manner.

The only saving grace was that he did not have to worry about running out of soul force, and the exhaustion was less, but it still made him use ninety-nine percent of his current soul prowess to reach the heat that was required to dissolve the two ingredients into pure medicinal essences!

A few minutes passed by, and he was already starting to sweat as he put in more effort than required because of the suppressed cultivation.

Dalila Leehan and a few others looked at him in shock as they finally noticed!

'How can his soul force be so powerful and intense!?'
