Divine Emperor of Death

"What!? Elder! Are you sure that it is King Grade Pill!?"

"It can't be!!!"

"Yes, the pills must be replaced!!!"

"No! That Elder is obviously bought!"

The crowd shouted in a chaotic manner, becoming awed, confused before becoming suspicious of the results.

"Silence!!!"

Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim suddenly stood up as he commanded. His Peak-Level Law Sea Stage pressure spread out, making it so that it suppressed the incredulous and shocked voices of the masses. They had no choice but to be obediently seated again as most became scared, afraid that they would be blasted out by the pressure.

In the second tier, Nora Alstreim possessed a frozen smile on her face. Just a while ago, she happened to be ecstatic immensely, thinking that she finally got the nectar with Dalila Leehan's help, but now, it all came dashing down on her like a collapsing formation. In addition to disbelief, she felt the pain as she closed her eyes.

The nectar wasn't meant to be hers... or so she sadly mused.

On the other hand, Dalila Leehan's heartbeat rapidly sped up, and it still hadn't stopped, even now. Unlike the others, she had found that the pills Alchemist Davis presented were Low-Level King Grade Pills the moment it was cracked due to proximity and also experience. However, she didn't dare to believe it!

She didn't blurt her disbelief out and waited for Elder Belias Alstreim's verdict, and it was obvious that they arrived at the same conclusion. Even now, she still found it difficult to believe!

A Low-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivator concocted a few Low-Level King Grade Pills? What kind of concept was this!? There was the difficulty of an entire stage, and even Supreme Soul Stage Cultivators would find it hard to concoct King Grade Pills, only managing to concoct Crude-Tier Pills like now but...

It... It was almost like Alchemist Davis was not a Low-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivator but a Low-Level Supreme Soul Stage Cultivator with his soul prowess!!!

Dalila Leehan's heart kept rapidly beating without stop and subconsciously, the way she perceived Alchemist Davis experienced a qualitative change as she saw him become superior to herself in her sight.

He... He was the kind of man she preferred!!!

She hurriedly shook her head as she threw that thought away, her cheeks becoming red and hot regardless of her will. Nevertheless, she was unwilling to believe that Alchemist Davis had truly concocted King Grade Pills at this stage.

What if... What if those were interchanged? But she knew something like that couldn't have happened as she saw the three black pills crack into reddish-white pills herself! However, she knew that he only used Peak-Level Sky Grade Ingredients! How can it be possible for those ingredients to give birth to a King Grade Pill!?

If she normally gave it a simple thought, she felt that it was absurd!

"You! Are you sure that these are the pills you made just now?" She fumblingly asked as she wasn't sure of herself.

Davis narrowed his brows as he cast a cold look at Dalila Leehan, "You think that I had cheated in concocting these pills?"

"No... I..." Dalila Leehan unusually stuttered before she blushed heavily out of embarrassment. She clenched her teeth and raised her voice, "I only want to know the truth!"

Davis frowned.

To him, it sounded like, "Are you sure that these are the pills you made just now? Are you sure that you haven't interchanged those pills by planning beforehand?"

But now, looking at Dalila Leehan's confused gaze and the other participant's look of disbelief etched on their faces, he could finally understand.

He had just destroyed their common sense!

"Alchemist Davis, I humbly ask for an explanation as many feel doubt."

Elder Belias Alstreim suddenly opened his mouth as he bowed.

Davis pursed his lips as he looked around before he opened his mouth, "Well then, let me explain."

The masses pricked up their ears, and even the elders slightly moved ahead tier heads to pay close attention.

"Listen carefully!"

"Originally, the pills I concocted were undoubtedly going to turn out to be Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills. However, for better or worse, I sensed that I was going to break through to the next stage, but it also increased the chances that the breakthrough would ruin my pill concoction. So, instead of treading on an unstable path that requires me to control my soul force precisely, I tried to do something else in a daring manner, and I succeeded as a result!"

"I was able to use a unique technique that I learned before at the last moment when I entered the Mature Soul Stage, and that technique caused these three pills to absorb the essence of the other pills, turning them into King Grade Pills while making the other pills turn into pill waste. Nevertheless, the pill waste got stuck to King Grade Pills as an outer layer because of the absorption process, making it so that it deceived all your eyes at first glance."

"Otherwise, did you all really think that I would be unable to concoct a few measly Advanced Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills?" Davis's lips curved in disdain.

So that's what happened...

Everyone's lips twitched as they looked at Alchemist Davis act pompously. However, they had to admit that he did indeed possess the right to this pompously and be above all else in the profession of Alchemy with his prowess and skills. They were in awe rather than feeling jealous or envious anymore because he became a character that they were simply unable to compare with, making it so that they were able to accept that they were completely out of his league!

Nevertheless, they didn't know that Davis was half-lying.

He lied when he said that it was originally going to be Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill because this was a King Grade Pill Recipe through and through which unusually required seven Peak-Level Sky Grade Main Ingredients, but produced only six pills at best because it required for the other six pills to sacrifice their essence in order to be successful.

A normal Pill Recipe would usually produce from anywhere between eight to twelve pills, so it could be seen that this Pill Recipe sacrificed half its production capacity to gain efficacy! Moreover, if it weren't for this absorption process, it would be tremendously difficult for this recipe to produce a King Grade Pill!

Nevertheless, making King Grade Pills was completely hard with his suppressed soul force, causing him to end up with three Crude Tier Low-Level King Grade Pills. Otherwise, forget Advanced Tier Low-Level King Grade Pills because it would've been even easier for him even to concoct Peak-Level King Grade Pills!

It was just that his comprehensive knowledge hadn't reached such a level yet as he lacked the materials to study, making him muse that the only way to get past this point is to visit the Alstreim Family's Alchemy Library, and for further knowledge above King Grade, he would have to look towards the Thousand Pill Palace!

In any case, he was stuck in the Low-Level King Grade level for a while, so even when he possessed Peak-Level King Grade Recipes with him given by Old Man Garvin, the chances remained high that he would not know the intricacies even though he possessed the accurate method to refine the ingredients, resulting in him making lower tier pills or even resulting in failure.
