Chapter 800: Pill Grandmaster Kent

Naturally, everyone wanted to know the type of pill that could be concocted from the 34 ingredients laid out on the table before the two Pill Kings.

Receiving a reward from the Pyris Pill Alliance is a dream shared by everyone present. Their rewards can shape the life of any alchemist.

Of course, they were on the 7th floor, where only Pill Sages and above can enter. But even so, they want the reward.

However, even after two minutes, nobody was able to guess the correct answer.

“Any pill that has Black Veil Lotus in the ingredients has to do with the soul. However, there are just too many ingredients, and soul-type pills are relatively rare.

I can’t think of any that will match with even 10 of the ingredients here,” Suoh said, his voice filled with frustration. He was frustrated that he couldn’t figure out the pill.

He even tried his luck by saying a random pill, but didn’t get it right.

“Damn it. If only I had access to the pill records on this floor, perhaps I would have managed to guess the correct pill.”

He turned to Kent. “What about you, brother Kent? Don’t you have a guess?”

Kent smiled, scratching the back of his head. “I have a few guesses, but seeing the Pill Emperor taking only a single answer from each person, I don’t want to make a wrong guess.”

“I guess you’re right. However, he might stop taking inputs soon, so it’s better to hurry before you miss your one true chance to make a name for yourself.

Trust me, making the right guess is something everyone here would kill for, so better hurry.”

Kent nodded and smiled inwardly.

He immediately figured out the pill the moment he saw the ingredients. So far, he knew 24 soul-type pills, and one of them was the pill they wanted.

However, he wasn’t sure how he would explain if he got the answer right, considering he is merely a Pill Grandmaster.

Of course, he wasn’t treating this as a mere dream anymore, and knowing how dangerous the world can be, he most certainly wouldn’t want to anger some people.

Imagine the repercussions that would be created if it spread that a Pill Grandmaster was able to guess a Tier 12 pill when many stages above him couldn’t.

‘But then again, they wouldn’t be able to follow me to Sonox, and this is the past, so jokes on them,’ Kent smiled inwardly, but he also knew he had to be wary.

The aura of the people here was much more potent than even the tigers in the Unbreakable City, which he and his team killed.

This can only mean he has stepped into a powerful world, one he cannot underestimate, not even a Spirit King.

‘Here we go, I guess.’ Kent raised his hand, and for a second, he wasn’t called. Then the Pill Emperor’s eyes landed on him, and his heart shook.

‘Peak Spirit Sovereign, yet judging by his aura, I wouldn’t last a second against him.’ Kent sighed inwardly, but he was already hungry to get to such a world and see how far he could climb.

“Speak.”

Kent stood up and looked around him, seeing all eyes glued to him.

“That is a Pill Grandmaster, what does he even know about pills?” someone said, and everyone nodded, some casting hateful looks at Kent, as if his status as a Pill Grandmaster while being on the 7th floor was an insult to them.

Naturally, they were right to think that, for it takes a great deal of mastery to get to the 7th floor. So his presence there was an insult to them.

Some even cast murderous looks at him. However, Kent stood his ground and even smiled slightly as he answered,

“The pill that can be made from these ingredients is the Soul Mending Pill.”

The moment Kent spoke, everyone quieted down. They turned and looked at the Pill Emperor, checking to see if Kent’s answer was right or wrong.

However, instead of indicating whether he was right or wrong, he asked Kent a question.

“What is your name, young man?”

“Kent… Pill Grandmaster Kent.”

Hearing his answer, the Pill Emperor smiled, “Well, Kent, your answer is correct.”

“WHAT!”

Everyone exclaimed, turning to look at the smiling Kent, who clenched his fist like someone who had won a perilous gamble.

Of course, it was an act on Kent’s part. However, he was happy to have trampled on the dreams and aspirations of all those who looked down on him.

“How?” somebody asked, pointing at Kent. “How can a mere Grandmaster know the name of a Tier 12 pill when Pill Sages and even Kings couldn’t?”

Kent didn’t even bother to answer.

He only focused his attention on the Pill Emperor, who seemed to be talking to someone. This made Kent wonder what was going on behind the scenes and whether or not this was even meant to happen.

But, as he expected, the next second, the Pill Emperor spoke, and Kent could only smile…

“I just got word from the Pill Monarch. She said if you can explain to some extent how you managed to come up with your answer, she will allow you to view the Grand Pill Tablet for a day.”

“WHAT?”

Even Suoh shouted when the Pill Emperor spoke.

Kent, however, smiled inwardly, knowing things were about to get even more interesting. He smiled and started to speak.

“It is relatively simple if you already know the major ingredients that go into creating soul-type pills. In this case, the Soul Mending Pill requires 19 exact ingredients, with 6 being main ingredients that can’t be left out.

These major ingredients, if you don’t mind me saying them—”

The Pill Emperor gave Kent the go-ahead.

“The six major ingredients are Ironwood Bark, Verdant Moonleaf, Starry Night Petal, Serpent’s Breath Herb, Black Veil Lotus, and the Phantom Flame Fruit.

They are the essentials, and if one understands what they are doing, then after getting these six major ingredients, finding the rest wouldn’t be too hard.”

“Impressive.”

Even the Pill Emperor started clapping for Kent when he was done speaking. He was impressed, and it was evident on his face.

“Not only do you know the name of the pill, but you actually know the names of the major ingredients needed to concoct the pill. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you learn this from?”

Kent smiled and then gave the biggest lie he had ever told in his life. “During an expedition with a few friends, I was attacked, and during the battle, I fell into a fracture that was believed to lead to one’s death.

It turns out it led to an abandoned mansion that once belonged to a Pill King who specialized in soul-type pills.

I found a few records of his work, and that’s when I obtained the recipe for the Soul Mending Pill and a few other soul-type pills. It was also the reason why I chose to walk the path of alchemy.”

“Very noble. And I have to say, you have what it takes to become an excellent Alchemist in the future. After the duel, I will take you to where you will claim your reward.”

After saying that, Pill Emperor Matin turned to the two Pill Kings.

“Pill Grandmaster Kent has helped you with the major ingredients, so the Pill Duel starts now. May the best Alchemist win.”
