Kent took the next book, titled [Primordial Alchemy Records,] and opened it as he had with the cultivation technique. However, unlike the cultivation technique, which contained complex diagrams, this one was filled with text.
The title reads:
"The Art of Alchemy, by Pill Celestial Kevin Sage," Kent read aloud from the first page. He quickly flipped to the second page, where more lines of text appeared.
"This is the manual left behind by the first and only Pill Celestial to ever walk the face of the universe. Inside contains the complete knowledge from his journey from Pill Novice to Pill Celestial. Whoever cos into possession of this manual, if they are worthy, will beco an existence capable of revolutionizing the world of alchemy once more.
Good luck, and rember this: a pill is not a pill if it is not 100% pure."
"That's actually sweet. I wonder who this great figure was like," Kent said, gently tapping the book against his forehead. As with the cultivation manual, it disintegrated and entered his forehead.
"What the hell is..." Kent hadn't even finished his sentence before he fell backward and passed out.
A few minutes after he passed out, a fla tattoo appeared on his forehead for a few seconds, then vanished. A while later, a thunderbolt tattoo also appeared and disappeared after a few seconds.
He lay there for many hours until, finally, after a full day, he woke up, feeling his head throbbing from the ordeal that had overwheld him.
The first thing he noticed, however, was the ssages that appeared before his eyes from the Tower.
[Congratulations on learning the Primordial Alchemy Records. Your Alchemy Class has been unlocked. You can now practice alchemy.]
[You have learned the entirety of the Primordial Alchemy Records; however, due to your insignificant level in alchemy, you only have access to the first record – The Pill Novice Primordial Alchemy Records.]
[It contains knowledge on the basics of how to concoct pills and so pill recipes you can try your hand at. Also, you have access to so of the best pill-refining and Fla control techniques in the Primordial Alchemy Records.]
[ You have received a unique Pill Fla Nine Colored Chaos Fla. Now, its strength is that of an Earth-Grade Pill Fla and only the Blue Void Fla has been unlocked. As you unlock more records, your pill fla will also increase in grades]
[To qualify for the next record, you must first succeed in concocting 120 different Tier 0 Pills with 100% purity.]
"That's a lot to take in, but at least I have sothing to work with now," Kent said after a while, making sure his headache had subsided.
"The question now is, where the hell am I going to get ingredients from?" Kent sighed. He was new to this world, and although he would love to brag, the master he should be proud of was, unfortunately, quite broke.
He knew this because he currently had his master's mories.
"Oh, Master isn't stingy for nothing. He actually has so ingredients in his spatial ring," Kent muttered, reaching for his left hand and sliding the ring off his finger.
Since he had his master's mories, he knew how to access them.
"Great! With this, I have a chance at concocting a Tier 0 Qi Gathering Pill," Kent said, sounding like an experienced alchemist. This surprised him slightly, so he asked the Tower.
"Tower, why do I sound like I'm so kind of alchemy genius?"
[Master has learned the Primordial Alchemy Records and currently has access to the first record. This ans you now know all the basics of alchemy contained within the records. The only thing left is practice.]
"I see," Kent smiled, then walked over to the cauldron and picked up the Tier 1 pill with 50% purity from inside.
"A sex-enhancent pill, huh? Looks like Master was really preparing for this rchant's unknown daughter. I guess it's up to now, but this pill is just too pitiful." Kent crushed the pill, turning it into powder.
He gazed at the lifeless, smiling face of Jas Hogan and sighed. "I'll bury you later, Master. For now, watch how your unknown disciple concocts pills."
Kent retrieved the first batch of ingredients, and with a flick of his hand, a blue fla appeared.
"Tower, can you tell more about this Unique Fla? The records seem to lack that knowledge." Klaus asked. He now has Nine different flas but he only has access to one, the Blue Void fla.
If he unlocks more records, the rest will also be unlocked.
[Certainly, Master,] the Tower responded.
[A Unique Fla is a rare, mystical fire. It is found only in special places across the universe. These flas have extraordinary qualities and are difficult to control. Each Unique Fla has its own attributes and strengths. So can heal, while others can burn through anything, even tal or stone.]
Kent's eyes widened. "So, this fla is powerful?"
[Yes, Master. This is the Blue Void Fla. It's a fla known for its purity and control. Alchemists treasure it because it can refine pills with greater precision. It burns steadily, helping you to achieve high purity in your concoctions.]
Kent held out his hand, watching the blue fla flicker and dance. "So, this fla will help refine pills better?"
[Correct. The Blue Void Fla will give you an edge. With it, you can refine pills faster and with better quality. It's one of the best flas for an alchemist of your level.]
Kent nodded, feeling a surge of confidence.
"Perfect. Then let's start with the Qi Gathering Pill." He gathered the ingredients and focused on the fla, watching it dance in his palm. It felt nostalgic in so way.
'This feeling...' Kent thought, but he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he quickly followed the knowledge he had acquired from the Primordial Alchemy Records and began heating the cauldron.
"This feels too natural like I was born to control the fla," Kent said, a small smile tugging at his lips. A while later, he dimd the cauldron was hot enough so he tossed in the first ingredient.
"So this is the feeling. Even with such a thick body, I can see inside the cauldron" Kent muttered as he controlled the pill fla to begin burning and extracting the dicinal essence from the ingredient.
"Easy enough" A few minutes later he tossed in the second one.
Then before long, the third one entered. Kent could tell the more ingredients he added, the more difficult it began to feel, but also the more he understood so things.
Kent knew he had all the knowledge he needed; it was just a matter of making sure his muscles could keep up with what his mind understood.
Five minutes later, the last of the 12 ingredients were burned, and their essences were fully extracted. Using a condensing technique, he began to form the pill.
"Now is when I burn impurities," Kent said as he continued shaping the pill, focusing on removing any impurities as he went.
"I'm a natural," he praised himself with a grin.
[Master is indeed an Alchemy Genius,] the Tower responded, making Kent's smile widen.
"I knew I was going to like you, Tower. You recognize talent," Kent bragged. Just then, a soft *poof* sounded from the cauldron, followed by a wisp of dark smoke.
He opened the cauldron and saw a dark, misshapen pill inside. Quickly, he picked it out to examine it.
The pill was rough and uneven, with a dull color. Its energy felt weak, almost lifeless. He sighed, realizing the truth.
"It's terrible," he muttered, shaking his head. "Barely any power in it."
The Tower's ssage appeared before him.
[You have successfully concocted a Qi Gathering Pill. Grade: Tier 0, Quality: Poor. Purity: 12%.]
Kent laughed.
