After taking the requisite materials, Severin promptly channeled his divine senses and activated the flames beneath the cauldron. Once the temperature reached the desired level, he raised his hand and opened the lid with telekinesis before placed the materials in one by one.

Celeste had a surprised expression when she saw Severin's choice of material. "Millennia-old Violetsun Flower? Two-millennia-old Snowlotus? Aren't these materials used to craft the Crystal Spring Pill!"

The Crystal Spring Pill was a sixth-grade medium-rank pill that demanded over twenty ingredients, making it one of the more challenging recipes. Though a sixth-grade high-rank alchemist like Celeste would have no difficult with the Crystal Spring Pill, she wondered if Severin was attempting that recipe because he had reached that level too. However, she could not fathom how that would be the case when Severin had

just reached the sixth floor of the Alchemy Tower just half a month ago. The Crystal Spring Pill was incredibly tricky, and a single failed attempt might allow Emery to catch up to him with the aid of the Purplecloud Cauldron.

Meanwhile, Raymond was just about to consider leaving when noticed Celeste's puzzled expression. As a core disciple, he was familiar with the Crystal Spring Pill and understood the challenges faced by a sixth- grade alchemist attempting to craft it. The tournament's rules placed emphasis on crafting a superior- quality pill. It was simple enough for anyone to understand.

Both Raymond and Celeste were perplexed by Severin's choice, and their curiosity was piqued after they confirmed that Severin's chose to start with the Crystal Spring Pill. After all, it was usually attempted by sixth-grade low-rank alchemists at the very least.

Raymond smiled and muttered, "This might be interesting...

His expressions were mirrored by Daniella, the seventh-grade alchemist and guardian of the Sixth Mountain. The other elders and peak masters had the same expressions too. Daniella's expression was rather solemn as she contemplated Severin's alchemical prowess. "He's attempting the Crystal Spring Pill? Has he already made a breakthrough to sixth-grade medium-rank alchemist?"

Everyone's attention was on Severin as he began to craft the a sixth-grade medium-rank Crystal Spring Pill. His hands moved with incredible speed, placing Individual materials into the cauldron with an unwavering focus.

His opponent, Emery, chose to refine the sixth-grade medium-rank Qingling Pill. Under her master's guidance, she had earlier made a breakthrough to sixth-grade alchemist. With the Purplecloud Cauldron's twnety percent boost in success rate, Emery confidently tackled the challenge of refining sixth-grade

medium-rank pills.

Pill quality was classified into four levels: inferior, mediocre, superior, and elite. The golden lines present within the finished pill was what defined their quality level to a non-alchemist. As the crafting process required a mixture of the surrounding energy and the essence of one's life, the mark of a pill's quality was determined by the lines.

One to three golden lines denoted an inferior-quality pill. Three to six would be classified as mediocre- quality pills, or in laymen's terms-the minimum standard required for ordinary pills. The seven to eight-lined superior-quality pills were much rarer than their lower-quality counterparts, and nine-lined pills were undoubtedly true elite-quality pills.

The spectators in the open area were all astounded by the contestant's rapid refinement abilities.

"The gap between mere mortals like us and geniuses like them is simply too huge"

"It took them less than half an hour to craft a sixth-grade pill!"

"Did any of you notice that they're producing three pills right now? They started off with one, but now they've already tripled that number!"
