Kent smiled at the expression that appeared on Pill Monarch Nefeliâs face.
Nobody with a functioning brain cell wouldnât be shocked to see a High-Grade Primordial Flame seed handed to a nobody.
This took them all by surprise.
He smiled and turned to the 24 alchemists who were looking at him with thankful and respectful gazes.
Kent knew why they were looking at him like that. After all, he was the one who made sure they entered the Pill Ascension Sect trial.
Thanks to his kind gesture, they gained so much knowledge on the path of pill-making that it would take them years, perhaps even a lifetime, to fully document everything.
"Did you guys have fun while in there?" Kent asked, and they nodded.
"Thank you, Kent. If it hadnât been for you, we wouldnât even get a sliver of what we have now."
"Donât worry about it. We are all from the same alliance, so it was only natural for me to help one another." They smiled, hearing his words.
"Though I have to warn you, this knowledge you have obtained is to help the universe. Many rely on alchemists, so use it well to help anyone in need.
An alchemist is a public servant, not a powerhouse that canât be reached easily when one needs help."
They nodded and bowed. "We will use the knowledge we have to make this universe a better place."
"Good." Kent patted one of them on the shoulder and turned toward Pill Sage Flura. When Kent saw the badge on her chest (more like boobs), his eyes widened.
"I guess congratulations are in order, Pill King Flura. To think the Pill Dao personally promoted you, I am impressed and happy for you."
Pill King Flura smiled, feeling very happy.
"I expected you to also come back a Pill Sage, maybe even a Pill King," she said, causing Kent to laugh.
"I was unfortunate to have met a god who likes to play games with people, so the past 30 days have been me fighting to keep my life."
"Really?" Pill King Fluraâs eyes widened.
"Yes. I came this close to dying a few times. However, I persevered, knowing you were still alive and would miss me dearly if I suddenly died."
Pill King Flura blushed and hid her face behind her father. Lord Yanki smiled, watching his daughter blossom.
"She is a flower, Kent... so donât tease her too much."
"I understand, Lord Yanki." Kent smiled and looked back at Pill King Flura.
"Come see me on Planet Pyris in two weeksâ time. I have something for you." She nodded, and Kent turned back to Pill Monarch Nefeli.
"Letâs go, big sister. We are done here."
She nodded, and soon, the disciples and elders from the Pyris Pill Alliance left.
Aerithyne Pill Alliance was the second to leave. Thanks to Pill King Flura, they escaped disaster and maintained good terms with the Pyris Pill Alliance.
Now, they wanted to strengthen that bond and planned to use Pill King Flura to do so.
Unbeknownst to them, Pill King Flura had earned so much from her time in the Pill Ascension Realm that she didnât need them anymore.
As a wielder of Nine Primordial Flames, all of which were suitable for concocting pills, her future as an alchemist was secured, and soon, her name would spread everywhere.

After leaving Planet Solaryn, Kent and the Pyris Alliance alchemists started traveling through the void, heading back home.
While on the way, Pill Monarch Nefeli pulled him into a private room to have a conversation with him.
"Why did you give the High-Grade Primordial Flame to Yuna? It will be wasted on her."
"I donât think so. Yuna is an extraordinary talent. Trust me, her knowledge in alchemy is something you shouldnât underestimate." Kent didnât know if he should tell her Yunaâs true identity.
Of course, she knew this wasnât something he could easily disclose. However, he also knew this wasnât something he could hide from a powerful warrior of her caliber.
If he were to tell her who Yuna really was, the chances of her going above and beyond to ensure she lived a good life would be high.
But one couldnât really tell what was in othersâ hearts, so he decided to hold back for now.
"But still, even if she is an extraordinary talent, a low-grade Primordial Flame would have sufficed."
Kent smiled and took Pill Monarch Nefeliâs hand.
"A High-Grade Primordial Flame is nothing. Just wait until we get back," Kent sneered, feeling like his life was more than easy. He not only had amazing wives but also capable helpers.
"Donât tell me you have more from where that came from."
"Letâs just return first."
It took a couple of hours, but they returned to Planet Pyris in one piece. When they arrived, Pill Monarch Nefeli and the others realized that the 24 alchemists who entered the Pill Ascension Realm had also returned with Primordial Flames.
This shocked them all greatly. However, knowing they were all in the same Pill Alliance, even the jealous ones didnât make any attempt to show it.
Kent then took Pill Monarch Nefeli to the Grand Pill Tablet to meet Nana.
When they arrived, Nana was already waiting for them.
Pill Monarch Nefeli, who hadnât seen the spirit of the Grand Pill Tablet before, was taken aback when she saw her.
"Big sister, meet Nana... Nana, meet Pill Monarch Nefeli."
"Glad to finally meet you in person," Nana said, and Pill Monarch Nefeli smiled at her and said,
"Kent said you wanted to meet me."
"Yes. I wanted to meet you because of Yuna.
I know you are skeptical about taking care of her. However, I want you to know you have nothing to worry about.
She is an amazing child, someone you wouldnât regret looking after. Of course, the main reason why I want you to personally take care of her is due to her true nature."
"Who is she really?"
Nana looked at Kent, who nodded, telling her she could trust Pill Monarch Nefeli.
"It is because she has a rare body constitution called the Divine Pill Body."
Pill Monarch Nefeliâs eyes widened, hearing something so bizarre. Among the many things she wanted to hear, this wasnât one of them.
Every profession has a body constitution. Some awaken them naturally; others cultivate them one step at a time.
Just as Kent has the Sword Body, others too have the Spear Body, Axe Body, and Pill Body.
Even her own master had the Sword Body, and because of that, she knew how monstrous such bodies were. Now, hearing Nana say that Yuna had a Pill Body made her very shocked, yet she also became overprotective.
She had followed her master for thousands of years, and she knew how dangerous it could be to have such a body.
So naturally, she wants Yuna to have it easy somehow...
"I just want you to keep her alive until my master reaches the Pill Immortal stage. Once he can refine her innate body, she will awaken her true innate talent, allowing her to unlock her hidden potential."
"Your master?" Pill Monarch Nefeli turned to Kent, who smiled.
Nana also smiled. "It should be between just you and me, but yes, Kent is my masterâor was my master in his past life."
"The Grand Pill Tablet was a treasure given to the Pill Worlds by Pill Celestial Kevin Sage... Donât tell me he was the Pill Celestial that reached the peak of pill-making during the Divine Era..."
Pill Monarch Nefeli was clearly in denial.
