Chapter 2815 Crucible
“You're just bragging. Let's see how you fail when you're crafting pills. I'll be waiting to see you blowsomething up. Crafting a Fifth Level Top Tier pill is dangerous. If your mental energy isn't enough tocontrol the spiritual fire, it can explode. Then you'll be blown up, and I'd love to see how you'll bragthen.”
Even though Jared had passed the first stage, Pearl still looked down on him.
Jared only smiled faintly and didn't respond.novelbin
He exuded unwavering confidence. With a sufficient supply of herbs, he believed he could concoct pillsof an even higher level than Fifth Level Top Tier.
For him, the process of alchemy itself wasn't challenging; the real difficulty lay in obtaining the rareherbs needed for crafting these Top Tier pills.
The examiner led Jared to an alchemy room, and Pearl followed along.
Due to Pearl's status, the examiner didn't stop her. After all, Jared couldn't cheat during the crafting.The outcome was entirely dependent on his skill.
Inside the room, there were several pill cauldrons of different shapes and sizes.
“For fairness' sake, you can't use your own pill cauldron during the assessment. We provide pillcauldrons here, and you can choose the one you're familiar with. However, there's also a time limit. Youmust craft the pill within the specified time. While failure is allowed within the time limit, if you can't craftthe correct pill in time, you'll fail the assessment. As Fifth Level Top Tier pills are high-level pills and
require a significant amount of time to craft, the assessment only requires you to produce a semi-finished product,” the examiner explained the assessment rules to Jared.
Crafting a Fifth Level Top Tier pill would usually take several days for a Fifth Level Top Tier alchemist.
Since the assessment couldn't last for days, a semi-finished product would suffice for passing theassessment.
“Sir, can I not use the pill cauldrons here? I'm not used to them...” Jared asked the examiner.
“Didn't I mention this? You can't use your own pill cauldron. It wouldn't be fair if someone used aspecialized cauldron for crafting pills. The result wouldn't accurately reflect their actual alchemicalskills,” the examiner said.
“I won't use my own pill cauldron.” Jared shook his head.
“What are you planning to use, then?” the examiner asked, puzzled.
“I'll use that...”
Jared pointed at a crucible on a nearby table.
“Are you joking? That's a crucible, not a cauldron. How can you use it to craft pills?” The examiner wasbaffled.
“Jared, are you out of your mind? Is there anyone who crafts pills using a crucible? This is a Fifth LevelTop Tier pill we're talking about. Do you think you're crafting some common low-level pills?” Pearl saidto Jared disdainfully.
“I was just asking. If it's not allowed, then forget it.” Jared shrugged.
“There's no rule against using a crucible to craft pills, but you should know that crafting pills with a pillcauldron has benefits. Don't you want the enhancements that come with a pill cauldron?” the examinerasked.
“For a mere Fifth Level Top Tier pill? I don't need enhancements from a pill cauldron. Even if you gaveme a broken piece of tile, I could craft the pill on it,” Jared replied nonchalantly.
“Sir, just let him use the crucible. I've never seen someone as boastful as him. I want to see how hecrafts a Fifth Level Top Tier pill with a crucible,” Pearl said, looking at Jared in frustration.
In truth, Jared was deliberately annoying Pearl. Ever since they met, she had been looking down onhim. Jared wanted her to witness his true skills.
“All right. I've been an examiner for so many years and have never seen anyone use a crucible to craftpills. Today, I'll make an exception. Let's see how you craft a pill with that crucible,” the examiner saidand emptied the contents from the crucible, then tossed it to Jared.
