A Pill having the ability to manifest another Pill, even if it was a tier lower than itself, was simply too mind-bending. Kent, with his vast knowledge, had never witnessed such an occurrence before.
While he was the one who invented the [Pill Life] technique, he had never created a pill with such a unique ability. At most, a living pill could release some of its effects without being consumed first.
Some even chose to live inside the soul of their owner, nourishing them at the very foundation of their true nature.
In such a case, someone like Lili Thara would bee a Pill spirit, continuously tempering the owner’s soul. That was essentially the nature of living pills, and even some non-living pills possessed similar characteristics.
But having the ability to manifest more pills from itself was something entirely different.
Kent knew Lili Thara was overpowered, and so did everyone else.
Naturally, as one would expect, countless offers immediately began flying through the air as people desperately tried to secure the Soul Tempering Pills that Lili Thara was capable of creating with a mere flick of her hand.
The amounts of spirit stones, precious herbs, rare treasures, and other alchemical ingredients being offered were simply absurd.
Some even went so far as to offer entire sects’ yearly revenues, ancestral herb gardens, and collections accumulated over thousands of years, all for the chance to obtain a single Soul Tempering Pill.
The atmosphere instantly turned chaotic.
"900 billion high-grade spirit stones!"
"I’ll offer 999 billion!"
"My Celestial Herb Pavilion is willing to exchange three Heaven-tier soul-nourishing herbs for a Tier 21 or even Tier 20 Soul Tempering Pill."
"I have a Seven-Colored Soul Blossom that has matured for ninety-nine thousand years!"
"Forget spirit stones! I’ll exchange a plete inheritance left behind by an Immortal Monarch who specialised in the art of soul mapping."
The offers became more outrageous with every passing second, and someone like Kent, whose greed for treasures knew no bounds, started smiling at everyone while Lili Thara played with his horns, now settled peacefully on his head.
Many of those present knew that spirit stones could always be earned again, treasures could be found again, and inheritances could be sought elsewhere.
But opportunities to strengthen one’s soul were exceedingly rare.
A powerful soul affected nearly every aspect of cultivation.
Whether it was prehending laws, refining pills, controlling formations, forging weapons, or surviving soul attacks, the benefits were immeasurable.
That was why the crowd was losing its mind.
In the world of Alchemy, some of the rarest and most sought-after pills are always soul-based pills.
Regardless of how one viewed it, when it came to the soul, pills capable of strengthening it were sought after even by Celestials. So Kent could understand their eagerness to get their hands on just one of those pills.
Even the Sect Masters, Clan Chiefs, and some of the powerful alchemists present at today’s event were eager to get their hands on the pill.
Their eyes burned with desire as they stared at the adorable red-haired girl seated on Kent’s head and playing with his horns. Well, she had been playing happily before the noise started filling the space.
Lili Thara blinked her large eyes in confusion as she gazed at everyone, who looked at her with strange expressions.
She tilted her head slightly as she looked at the countless cultivators shouting offers toward her.
Then, in a sweet and innocent voice, she asked,
"Why are they so noisy?"
Kent smiled and answered, "They want to give you precious herbs in exchange for some of your pills. Do you want to do it?"
Lili Thara turned and looked at Pill God Flura, who smiled at her. Seeing her Mama give her an encouraging expression, she nodded.
"Lili Thara likes precious herbs, so Lili Thara will give them some pills in exchange for precious herbs."
Hearing the little girl’s words, everyone became overjoyed.
Kent used the opportunity to demand even more than if Pill God Flura had been in charge.
"You all heard that Lili Thara is willing to share her pills with everyone. However, to ensure she isn’t extorted, only herbs ranked Tier 21 and above will be accepted.
"And know this: the higher the Tier of the herb, the earlier you will receive your pill. So, people, it would be wise to go all out, because let me tell you, a soul-related pill is not an opportunity you can afford to miss.
"That said, we will use the services of Lady Veth to ensure fairness and the safe delivery of goods between both parties."
If Kent were an ordinary person, many would have rained insults on him. But they had all witnessed him beat a Demigod as though she were a sack of potatoes, so they said nothing despite his outrageous demands.
Basically, he was trying to say that if someone brought a Tier 21 herb and another person brought two Tier 21 herbs or a Tier 22 herb, the latter would receive their pill first.
While time was not something immortals paid much attention to, the fact that news had already begun spreading to other parts of the Eastern Region and beyond, even reaching the God Realm, meant that countless offers would arrive soon.
So offering just one herb would place them on a very long waiting list.
In short, Pill God Flura was about to be swimming in pill ingredients, and that was all because Kent’s big brain had foreseen this oute long before it happened.
While many rushed away to their home planets to secure herbs they could exchange for a pill, Elder Zhen Kai stood up and walked toward Kent and Pill God Flura.
"Congratulations on the success of your Pill event, Pill God Flura," Elder Zhen Kai said, bowing politely. Pill God Flura was now a Pill God, so naturally, her status ranked above his.
"There is no need for such politeness, Elder Zhen Kai. We are both alchemists, so we shouldn’t let our ranks define us."
Her words made Elder Zhen Kai smile and nod.
He didn’t mind calling Pill God Flura a senior. However, he could tell that Flura genuinely didn’t care how she was addressed, so he nodded in agreement.
"Very well. I am glad your heart remains as calm as it was before your ascension.
That said, before your ascension, I intended to invite you to participate in the uping Intergalactic Alchemy petition that will be held by the Eastern Pill Immortal Council this time around.
"However, now that you are a Pill God, I wish to invite you to bee one of the judges, the presiding judge, to be precise. I am certain the other regions would not mind having a Pill God preside over such a monumental event."
"When is the petition?" Pill God Flura asked.
"One year from today. So that would be three months before the Trial of Wisdom," Elder Zhen Kai answered.
"I see. I will be there, Elder Zhen Kai."
"Wonderful."
His face beamed with joy, but he quickly posed himself and turned to Kent.
"How about you, Pill Legend Kent? Will you also be attending?"
"Of course. After all, I plan on participating, so expect to see me there, old man."
Elder Zhen Kai blinked a few times, not because he had been called an old man, but because he had never expected Kent to say that he would be joining the Intergalactic Alchemy petition.
Seeing his expression, Kent smiled and said,
"Relax, Elder Zhen Kai. I know it is a petition for Pill Immortals. However, I may not be a Pill Immortal, but I can create Tier 20 pills and above."
He grinned and flicked his hair back. Lili Thara mirrored his actions, flicking her hair back in exactly the same manner.
"My name isn’t on the Pill Dao Tablet for no reason, Elder Zhen Kai."
