Rise of the Alchemy God

.

Ethan began to sift through the recipe section he had received.

He examined the information piece by piece, and the more he examined, the brighter his expression became with joy.

"This is brilliant. By doing this, I could further increase the purity while keeping the material doses the same."

Ethan had to admit that some of this information was very useful for further improving the recipe, making its final effect exceed expectations.

But after examining the recipe a bit, he noticed something.

"Why haven't the materials for the refinement changed?"

It was known that when advancing from a recipe of one level to a higher level, the materials listed for use would also change.

Sometimes, some materials were replaced with others with better effects.

Other times, instead of replacing some materials, the existing ones remained, and new ones were simply added.

It was normal, after all, if you wanted to improve a pill, you needed to work on its refining materials.

But the problem was that so far, Ethan hadn't seen either of these situations occur.

"now, this is strange."

Although the recipe clearly seemed better than before, Ethan couldn't help but frown over this small detail.

He decided to wait until the end and see if, once the recipe was fully downloaded, there would be any changes to the materials.

He didn't have to wait long for this.

In just a few seconds, the rest of the improved recipe information was downloaded into Ethan's mind.

Seeing that the process was complete, he wasted no time and opened the system screen to view the new information on the recipe.

[----------------------------------

[Basic Recovery Pill Recipe]

Grade: Perfect

Description: A pill capable of restoring fatigue after intense physical exertion and accelerating the healing of minor superficial wounds.

The purity of this pill is 100%.

[Upgrade] (1000 Sp)

-----------------------------------]

.

Reading the information of the improved recipe, Ethan's breath momentarily stopped.

"Perfect grade?!"

For a moment, Ethan didn't know how to react.

As he first read the new information, he was confused to see that the recipe's level was still the same, but as soon as he read the line of information below, he was confused but also excited.

A perfect-grade pill.

A legendary pill, never seen before, whose existence was only known from some ancient texts Ethan had read.

He knew that in this era, there had never been a perfect-grade pill.

No matter how much the alchemist masters, and even grandmaster alchemists, tried, none of them had ever managed to refine a pill with purity higher than 99%.

At this point, everyone thought that the old documents referring to this pill were merely legends.

And it was normal for them to think so; after all, there was no exact evidence of the existence of a pill of this grade.

But now all that was collapsing in front of the recipe Ethan had just learned.

"No, how is this possible?"

Ethan wondered how a pill that even grandmasters could not produce had an actual recipe.

He couldn't imagine what kind of effect such a pill would have on the body.

High-grade pills were already quite good and did their job wonderfully, but what would a level 1 perfect-grade pill be like?

Ethan didn't know, but he doubted it would be inferior, given the rarity of the pill.

It probably wouldn't be worse than a high-grade pill, and maybe it would achieve the effect of a level 2 pill.

It was normal to think so; after all, the recipe was still level 1. It was not possible for the pill to surpass a level 2 pill.

But it mattered little; even achieving an effect close to a level 2 pill would be more than enough to amaze anyone.

Ethan didn't even bother to look at the system notification congratulating him for obtaining a perfect-grade recipe for the first time and immediately set about refining the pill, following the recipe's instructions to the letter.

His movements, as usual, were fast but at the same time fluid and flawless.

He had refined this pill so many times that he couldn't make a mistake even if he tried.

The recipe's details were similar to the previous one, with small details here and there that helped perfect some steps.

It took Ethan slightly more time than usual, but in the end, he finished the refinement, and at that moment, he heard the system notification.

DING!

[You have created a Level 1 Basic Recovery Pill of Perfect Grade]

[You have received 20 QI]

Seeing the system confirmation, Ethan let out a sigh as he calmed his quickened heartbeat.

He didn't even miss noticing the amount of QI he had received this time.

"Twice as much as a high-grade level 1 pill."

But the system messages didn't end there.

[Congratulations to the guest for creating their first perfect-grade pill]

[You have received 100 QI]

And with this, his experience bar made a big leap towards reaching the end of level 9.

Ethan had become insensitive to his high cultivation speed, or rather, to the high amount of QI he was gaining from the system.

He had almost reached the threshold of the Body Refining stage and was just a little short of reaching the peak of this stage.

Initially, Ethan thought that once he did this, he would proceed to ascend to the next stage, but it seemed that this time he would need to further elevate his physique to do so.

Ethan couldn't wait to see what requirements the system would ask for him to ascend to the next stage, but for now, this wasn't important.

What mattered more was what to do with this perfect-grade pill, which he probably knew was the only one in existence, at least in the mortal realm.

Bai Yu didn't seem to have reacted to all this, so he wondered if perfect-grade pills existed in the higher heavens.

He intended to talk to her about this topic the next time he visited his sea of consciousness.

For now, he needed to see what to do with this perfect-grade pill.
