Primordial Chaos Dragon Tower: Harem System

Chapter 799: Legendary Pill Duel [Bonus]

Everyone became quiet when the Pill Emperor entered.

It would be a great calamity to make noise when someone wearing a Pill Emperor badge was about to start talking.

It would be a grave offense that would not only revoke your pill badge but also ban you from entering any place related to pill making, regardless of your background.

So they all fell silent, and Kent, who even wanted to know more about the Pill Celestial, was the same. He kept quiet, just like everyone else.

After waiting a few more minutes to show his authority, the Pill Emperor started to speak.

“Welcome, everyone. Those of you who know me know that I don’t like to talk too much, so I’ll keep this brief for everyone.

My name is Pill Emperor Matin, and I will be officiating the duel between Pill King Han Lu and Pill King Yota.

They are both dignified Pill Kings in the Pyris Pill Alliance and respected throughout the 10 Pill Worlds spread across various star systems.

They are well-respected and talented in that regard.

That said, I would like to point out that today’s duel will be different from what we are used to watching.

But before I announce the nature of today’s duel, I will point out that both Pill King Han Lu and Pill King Yota are Gold badge holders, and as the reward decreed by the Pill Monarch, the winner will be upgraded to a Platinum badge.”

Hushed murmurs spread through the hall but died down just as quickly. Of course, people had to murmur, considering the Pyris pill alliance was about to use a duel to upgrade a badge from gold to platinum.

This practice, of course, is common between the Bronze and Silver stages.

Most get upgraded from Bronze to Copper and from Copper to Silver through duels like this. However, it had never happened at the Gold and Platinum stages, so far as one could recall.

This prompted everyone to wonder what had happened or changed this time, leading to the use of a duel to upgrade a pill badge from gold to the Platinum stage as the reward.

To earn a Platinum badge as a Pill King, one must be able to concoct a Tier 14 pill with a purification of 60%. It is not something easily attainable.

“I know most of you have questions. I know I do, but after hearing the nature of the duel, I am sure you all will understand the reason behind the grand reward.”

‘For someone who claims he doesn’t love to talk, he sure is talking more than he should,’ Kent smirked, looking at the Pill Emperor about to tell them the nature of the duel.

“Today’s duel is simple. Each will be given three portions of Tier 9 pill ingredients, and they are required to concoct Tier 12 pills with a purity of at least 90%.

The one with the highest purity wins, provided it exceeds 90%, and the pill must be Tier 12 to be eligible. If both fail to meet the requirements, the reward will be void.”

This time, murmurs spread, and everyone began to wonder many things, one common thought being whether it was even possible to turn Tier 9 pill ingredients into Tier 12 pills.

“It is impossible.”

“I know. There is no way Tier 9 pill ingredients can be used to concoct Tier 12 pills. That is just impossible.”

“Keep quiet if you don’t know what you’re talking about. I once witnessed a Pill King turn Tier 10 ingredients into a Tier 12 pill. I am sure Tier 9 herbs can be, too.”

“You sound like you don’t know how vast a tier can be. Even if a Tier 10 pill is 100% pure, there is no way it can be compared to a 90% pure Tier 11 pill.

So, turning a Tier 10 herb into a Tier 12 pill is not the same as turning Tier 9 herbs into Tier 12 pills.”

Many continued to express their opinions on the matter, and while it was a rule not to speak when a Pill Emperor was speaking, the situation truly called for them to speak, as it was rather outrageous.

However, after a few more talks, everything died down, and the Pill Emperor continued.

“The duel will last for 18 hours. If by then none of them manage to finish their pill, they will be allowed to continue, but the reward will be void.

Additionally, if any of the three potions run out, they will not be replenished; that is an automatic loss, and the one still with potions left will be allowed to continue and see if they can accomplish the requirement.

That will be all on the rules. The duel starts in ten, so be ready.” He vanished from the stage the next second.

“Wow, this is going to be a wonderful duel to watch,” Suoh said. The look in his eyes said it all. He was there to gather knowledge and seek experience.

Kent, whose aim all this while was to learn how to use lesser-tier ingredients to concoct higher-tier pills, was also happy to have found himself sitting in this upcoming duel.

“It sure is going to be a good one,” Kent said with a smile as he looked toward where two platforms were mounted. Two tables were laid, and on them were three portions of Tier Nine ingredients.

The Pill Emperor said nothing about the type of pill they would be concocting, but Kent knew the moment they saw the ingredients, they would know the pill to make.

’18 hours, huh? I hope the time here runs the same as inside the tower, else I might not see this to the end,’ Kent said inwardly as he waited for the duel to start.

About ten minutes later, two people were on the stage, one Elf and one Elemental Human. The elf had dark hair and green eyes.

He is Pill King Han Lu from the elven nation, and the Elemental Human is Pill King Yota from the Flame Elemental Human race.

The two sat down behind their tables and retrieved their cauldrons, setting them up on the stage that had been prepared for them, ready to begin.

Pill Emperor Matin entered the hall the next second and started to speak.

“I believe I have handled everything there is to say, but one more thing: know that there is only one pill that can be created from the ingredients provided, so don’t deviate.”

The clothes covering the ingredients were taken off, revealing a display of 34 different kinds of herbs.

Almost everyone gasped when they saw the display. Because of the complex nature of the duel, most expected the ingredients to be fewer than ten so that refining wouldn’t be too hard.

However, with a display of 34 ingredients, everyone knew it would be challenging to achieve the required result.

The curious and clever ones in the crowd started analyzing the ingredients to come up with the name of the pill. Soon, however, it became clear something wasn’t right.

Everyone, including the two Pill Kings, frowned when they sensed the same thing. There are 34 ingredients, but not all of them would be used in the concoction.

This means picking the right ingredient will be very hard.

However, before people could start thinking too much, Pill Emperor Matin spoke again, “There is a reward for whoever can guess the correct name a nd ingredients of the pill that these ingredients can be used to make.”

The whole place turned quiet, hearing his words.

Meanwhile, a grin appeared on Kent’s lips when he heard the offer. ‘It’s time for the past to know who Kent Madson is.’
