Chapter 127 Bottleneck

During his first attempt to create the Elemental Pill, Sebastian faced failure. Yet, he quickly realized that crafting this particular pill was just as challenging as producing high-spirit-grade pills. Previously, he had tried to forge the True Essence Pill and Jade Powder ten times each, all resulting in failure. However, these experiences had equipped him with the knowledge necessary to handle high-grade spiritual herbs, granting him a fair amount of mastery over the process. Without this accumulated wisdom, he would never have been able to operate the Dragonfire Furnace for over an hour, which was already halfway through the creation process. Most alchemists would never dream of attempting to create an Elemental Pill without first mastering high-spirit-grade pills. Even if they were to venture into making an Elemental Pill, they would typically start with a Low Arcane-grade elixir. If any of those alchemists caught wind of Sebastian squandering so many precious materials for the Elemental Pill, they would undoubtedly scold him mercilessly.
