"See for yourself."
Arthur's tone was confident and that made Cora furrow her brows. She slowly walked to the cauldron and remove its cover.
*Waff*
A steam with a sweet dicinal aroma arose as she did that. Then, she saw what was inside the cauldron.
Three glistening white pills entered her vision, causing her no small amount of shock.
Like an eagle, her hand swooped down and grabbed all three pills.
"Three high-grade Tier 0 pills..." She muttered her evaluation of the pills.
Aside from the separation of different Tiers, the pills were further subdivided into low, mid, high, and peak grades.
The level of the pills is decided by the purity of the pill that was created.
Low-Grade: 10% - 30% purity.
Mid-Grade: 31% - 60% purity.
High-Grade: 61% - 90% purity.
Peak Grade: 91% - 100% purity.
Using her spirit power to scan the pill, she saw that it was of a high grade, and it was not low either.
'90% purity in his first successful pill formation? This...this is too absurd!'
"So what do you think?"
Cora sighed when she heard Arthur's question, "Well, I will admit. You are indeed talented. And I may be losing this bet...just don't...um ask for anything perverted."
She looked at Arthur with hopeful puppy eyes only to be replied with an evil smirk from Arthur.
'He is definitely planning sothing perverted. May the heavens save !' Cora shook her head.
"Co on, how low do you think of ...now, I need to continue, I can't be having those failures of a pill."
"Failures?"
"Yes, failures. Those pills are failures because they are not of a perfect grade with no impurities. So if I don't make Tier 1 pills with 100% purity, then that will be considered as my loss."
Cora now understands what kind of person Arthur was.
It was either he gets the best or nothing.
But she didn't doubt him and felt that he would likely master peak-grade Tier 1 pill in half a day.
So far it had only been an hour and a half since Arthur began and his speed was too fast, because, others would spend an hour just to create the lowest-grade Tier-0 pill.
But Arthur did that in just re minutes. At the sa ti, he got three pills from one successful refinent which was very hard to do.
Three pills were the maximum, but highly ranked masters can get four, and five is theoretically the highest that is possible.
To get five pills out of a single refinent ans there would not be a silver of dicinal essence or herbal powder that would be lost or not fused properly.
That was Arthur's target.
'I either beco the best or nothing at all. Since I have decided to learn alchemy, all those so-called geniuses should be ready to call Master.'
And so Arthur began his next refinent with was his tenth.
This ans he created his first pill on his ninth try.
A few minutes later, there was another successful refinent, he brought out the pills but there were still just three pills.
"Tch!" Arthur threw them away after scanning their purity levels.
Cora caught them and saw that they had a purity of 92% which was considered peak grade.
This ti in just three minutes, Arthur was done with his refinent, and he nodded when he saw that there were four pills within the cauldron this ti.
He scooped them up and saw their grades.
"Tch, not good enough," he threw them away.
This ti three of the pills had a purity of 94% and one had a purity of 91%.
'This is too fast...back then I was only able to create a mid-grade pill and it took many months to create peak-grade pills.'
Cora wasn't lying when she said she was among the peak geniuses of alchemy in the upper realms.
'Invincible, are you the reincarnation of Asmir the God of Alchemy?' Cora wondered.
Ti passed and Arthur's mastery grew fairly quickly, and in an hour he finally got the results he wanted.
"Refinent ti, two minutes. Four pills, all 100% purity, good." He nodded in satisfaction.
"Let see," Cora ca close and snatched the pills from Arthur's hand.
'It is indeed true...it took a year and a half to get to this level. This level of talent...sigh. I should stop getting surprised by now.'
"Your talent is indeed the best I have ever seen. You only used two hours to get to this level that would take others years," as Cora said this, she suddenly had an idea.
"Although you are still sowhat lacking when compared to that figure," Cora felt it was petty to compare them but she still did it anyway.
"Which figure," Arthur asked with interest.
"The God of Alchemy, Asmir."
"Asmir?"
"Yes, Asmir. He was a legendary figure in the ancient tis of the Upper Realms. It was said that he only learned alchemy in just a few hours as you did. And at the sa ti, he could create five pills will 100% purity that sa period."
"I see, so that was why alchemists now believe that five pills at a ti are possible?"
"Yes, it was because of him. But it was also said that Asmir was able to break that notion the day he made six Tier-9 pills of 100% purity from one refinent."
Arthur raised an eyebrow at that.
"But due to how long has passed since then, the Alchemists of this period had concluded that those were just rumors and exaggerations, but there are still so who believe it to be true."
"The God of Alchemy was a title that had only been given to him. In fact, you could say that the title exists in the first place because of him. The highest recognition given to an alchemist is the title of Alchemy Emperor," Cora's tone was excited and it was obvious she was a fan of Asmir.
Arthur could tell by the way her eyes shined.
"I see, so there is still soone for to surpass. Good, it will be too easy otherwise." Arthur nodded.
"What?" Cora was stunned by that.
He wasn't expecting Arthur to see things like that as she wanted to reduce his ego a bit, but rather it seed to her that he beca more arrogant.
"Hmm, I would like to see you reach his level and surpass him," Cora smiled genuinely as she thought of sothing.
"I once thought it to be unfortunate to not be born in that era to witness that legendary figure. But if you do surpass him, even if it is just reaching the levels he did, that would be history being made."
Arthur smiled confidently, "I will."
Then Arthur went back to his refinent and after one more hour passed, he succeeded.
