Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================¶¶================

"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 medicinal 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 something perverted. May the heavens save me!' Cora shook her head.

"Come on, how low do you think of me...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 mere minutes. At the same time, he got three pills from one successful refinement 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 refinement means there would not be a silver of medicinal essence or herbal powder that would be lost or not fused properly.

That was Arthur's target.

'I either become the best or nothing at all. Since I have decided to learn alchemy, all those so-called geniuses should be ready to call me Master.'

And so Arthur began his next refinement with was his tenth.

This means he created his first pill on his ninth try.

A few minutes later, there was another successful refinement, 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 time in just three minutes, Arthur was done with his refinement, and he nodded when he saw that there were four pills within the cauldron this time.

He scooped them up and saw their grades.

"Tch, not good enough," he threw them away.

This time 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 me 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.

Time passed and Arthur's mastery grew fairly quickly, and in an hour he finally got the results he wanted.

"Refinement time, two minutes. Four pills, all 100% purity, good." He nodded in satisfaction.

"Let me see," Cora came close and snatched the pills from Arthur's hand.

'It is indeed true...it took me 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 somewhat 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 times of the Upper Realms. It was said that he only learned alchemy in just a few hours as you did. And at the same time, he could create five pills will 100% purity that same period."

"I see, so that was why alchemists now believe that five pills at a time 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 refinement."

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 some 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 someone for me 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 seemed to her that he became more arrogant.

"Hmm, I would like to see you reach his level and surpass him," Cora smiled genuinely as she thought of something.

"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 refinement and after one more hour passed, he succeeded.
