Chapter 1516: Am I Going to Compete for the Pill King Title Myself?
"Although the Bloodthirsty Pill is of a very high grade, I believe everyone present here knows how to refine it; what determines the outcome is the quality!"
"But why add some other herbs? In fact, the Alchemist Association should have long discovered that adding Skyfire Grass to the publicly recognized elixir formula for the Bloodthirsty Pill enhances its effects. Yet they didn’t disclose this; they merely placed a series of ingredients on the side, leaving us to choose."
"When the quality of the elixirs is the same, whoever knows to incorporate the Skyfire Grass will elevate the elixir’s quality significantly—and thus achieve victory. This could actually be considered a hidden technique test."
"I added it, you didn’t, and so I won."
Archie Cooke was left stunned.
Adding ingredients to the elixir formula?
It wasn’t that he was unaware of such practices. After all, elixir formulas were also developed by alchemists, and that didn’t mean they were in their ultimate form. Alchemists would continuously refine formulas to make elixirs more effective.
What he never expected was that something like this would arise in the Pill King Championship—and more importantly, that it would be the crux of the exam!
Those who knew, who understood, who could utilize this, would have an overwhelming advantage, almost ensuring a win!
He had foolishly followed the original formula for half the day, only to find out in the end that others had refined a more optimized version?
