Chapter 999 Top Five

"Oh? You seem to be not wary of Alchemist Davis's results?" Elder Belias Alstreim chuckled.

"Uncle!!!" Sophie Alstreim muttered in a low voice, afraid that Alchemist Davis might've heard it and misunderstood her thoughts.

After all, it was normal for everyone who had the knowledge to think that Alchemist Davis's initial state of the concoction was slow, not powerful, non-invasive in terms of extracting the essence out of the powerful ingredients. Hence, even if the concocting efficiency in the latter stages had abnormally improved after breaking through, it is normal for them to expect that Alchemist Davis at best would produce a Normal Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill!

It couldn't complete to what she had produced, a single Advanced Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill!

Even so, Sophie Alstreim didn't dare to cast a glance at Alchemist Davis but instead supported him, "So what if Alchemist Davis's pill concoction wouldn't be up to par?"

"Everyone with eyes could tell that it would be just a matter of time before Alchemist Davis s.h.i.+nes in the eternally long, back-breaking field of alchemy."

Elder Belias Alstreim laughed, "Little la.s.s, have you finally fallen for a man?"

Sophie Alstreim stared daggers at her uncle while blushed as her heart began to beat rapidly. She cast a side-glance with the corner of her eyes, but when she saw that indifferent expression on his face, her hopes became dashed as her excitement died down.

'That's right... Compared to Young Mistress Nora Alstreim and Thousand Pill Palace's Top Pill Disciple Dalila Leehan, I don't stand a chance...'

It was as if a bucket of cold water was splashed on her head.

Seeing that she did not reject the statement but have a strange expression on her face, everyone whistled at her in a teasing manner.

"Alright, alright..." Elder Belias Alstreim stopped them before he moved on to the next partic.i.p.ant.

He arrived towards Augustus Alstreim, but before he could even ask, the latter readily handed him a vial.

Elder Belias Alstreim was not surprised. Alchemists had their own method or preference to condense the pill essence. Some do it above the cauldron while gathering all the essence paste to condense pills, while some do it inside a half-sealed cauldron so that they can harness the complete essence of the pill without losing efficacy.

Augustus Alstreim seemed to have followed the former method to condense the essence of the pills.

Elder Belias Alstreim promptly checked the vial before he announced the results, "This is an Eminent Moon Pill. It abnormally helps the user gather the abnormally special heaven and earth energy at the time of the solar eclipse, enabling them to increase their Gold Stage Body Tempering Cultivation, and it even helps one to successfully step into the Martial Ascendance Stage, but the chances are of it happening is eighty percent."

"Four Normal Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills!"

"Haha, I knew that I was lacking..." Augustus Alstreim self-deprecatingly laughed.

Elder Belias Alstreim patted his shoulders, "Don't worry, with four Normal Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Eminent Moon Pills, you are still within the top five!"

Augustus Alstreim nodded his head, but his heart ached that he couldn't obtain the rewards in the end. Even though he expected it, it was such a disappointment that he inwardly sighed as he lamented his lack of skills. However, his expression became curious as he watched Elder Belias Alstreim head towards the man who got the first place in the second round...

Claudius Alstreim!

Claudius Alstreim waved his hand, and two vials readily appeared in his palm. Elder Belias Alstreim's eyes became focused before he smiled in an appreciative manner.

"You have not disappointed us, Claudius..." Elder Belias Alstreim patted his shoulders before he looked at the crowd and announced, "This is a Weeping Saint Beast Pill. It is a pill that is used to make Saint Beast Stage Magical Beasts uncontrollably cry by making their tear glands inwardly surge with their own energy, making it so that they temporarily lose eyesight for a few hours, and till to date, it is an extremely useful pill that works on most Peak-Level Saint Beast Magical Beast found in the Alstreim Family Territory."

"Three Normal Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills and two Advanced Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills!"

Two Advanced Tier Pills!? Many became shocked at Claudius Alstreim's pill concoction that some of them started seeing him in a new light.

Claudius Alstreim smirked, "Does Elder think I would get the first place?"

"Mhm..." Elder Belias Alstreim shook his head, "Not likely..."

"I see... So, I'll settle with second place!" Claudius Alstreim laughed with a sharp expression on his face.

He cast a glance at Dalila Leehan before hatefully looking at Nora Alstreim in the spectator's seats. Clearly, he was p.i.s.sed off that he didn't manage to get the first place because of an outsider partic.i.p.ating in this Alchemy Exchange.

However, he didn't say anything in the end.

"So I'm in the third-place... sigh..." From a distance, Sophie Alstreim inwardly sighed.

Elder Belias Alstreim looked at the third tier, "Initially, it was decided that Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim would especially nurture the top five, but now what should we do?"

*Woah!!~~*

Specially nurtured!? That means a chance to become a disciple to Grand Elder!? The audience's jaw dropped in astonishment as their eyes focused on the third tier.

"You are right..." Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim rubbed his blonde beard, "I have decided to nurture five talented alchemists of our family who manages to get into the top five of this Alchemy Exchange, but the two whom I think would end up in the top five necessarily do not need my attention as they have their own way to learn, not to mention that they are outsiders whom I cannot teach or do have the ability to teach."

"Grand Elder, it looks like we have no choice but to take only three of them in..." Elder Belias Alstreim suggested.

"True, I could take three out of the five as my workload would lessen, but our Ancestor who had instructed me to nurture the top five would become disappointed with me if I do such a thing!" Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim revealed.

So it was an order from the revered Ancestor himself!? No wonder the rewards were higher than usual...

Most of the Elders couldn't help but think while the people were utterly flabbergasted.

Ancestor what? Ancestor who? They had not come in contact with such a person, but their brains trembled at the mere mention of that word as the Elders echoed that word with respect.

The crowd became abnormally silent, speaking with hushed voices, confirming their doubts.

Who else could it be other than their one and only Powerhouse safeguarding the Alstreim Family, Ancestor Dian Alstreim!?

Indeed, Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim had especially received word from Ancestor Dian Alstreim to nurture talents. Otherwise, he would be sitting in his grand mansion, enjoying the life that he had fought for so hard in his youth. Another confusing matter for him was that, if it weren't for Ancestor Dian Alstreim's vague words at the time they met, he wouldn't have thought of inviting Alchemist Davis either!

Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim had no idea why Ancestor Dian Alstreim had an interest in Alchemist Davis's alchemy skills in the past, but he could finally see why with all that happened!
