The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor
Chapter 1414

Fane was excited when he thought about the opportunity to finally create a second-grade pill.

He never had a formula for a second-grade pill before, so this was extremely precious to him. Even if someone else had the formula, they would never share it with him so easily.

He did not think that after killing the alchemical genius, Second Young Master Hunt during the competition, he would reap such excellent benefits and obtain many formulae to create second-grade pills. Now, he could try to create second-grade elementary pills. If he succeeded, he was truly a second-grade elementary alchemist. Only Second Young Master Hunt and the First Elder from the Cabello family were at such a level.

Fane took a while before he suppressed his excitement, slowly heating up the stove before him and throwing the stalks of spirited grass in according to a certain sequence. He then extracted the juice from the grass.

Time trickled past slowly. It was difficult to create a second-grade pill, much more so than a first-grade pill. Just as Fane was about to solidify the pill, he failed. The flame was just a little bigger than what was prescribed, yet it nearly caused the stove to explode and made the juices disappear into fumes. This batch of precious ingredients was wasted just like that.

"Ah. It's so much harder than first-grade alchemy!"

Fane wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, heaving a sigh. However, it was a second-grade pill he was trying to create after all when he thought about it, and he had no master to guide him. He could only follow the instructions on the alchemy manual. It was already an accomplishment that he managed to get to the very last step.

He rested for over ten minutes. Then he started to create a new batch.

This time, it was evident that Fane was slightly faster, and his movements were more practiced. Coupled with the experience he had from the previous attempt, Fane's focus did not waver, and the attempt wen by smoothly.

"Rise!"

At last, Fane gave a wan smile and lifted his hand. A small pill flew out from the pot

and floated before his eyes.

"Hah. Not bad!"

Fane laughed, ecstatic. He did not think that he could successfully create a second-grade elementary pill on his second attempt.

By the time he looked outside the cave, he realized that the sky was brightening.

"There's another four days left. We're definitely at the top of this competition. Besides, we've gotten so much spirited grass by killing people. Yule and the others must be searching for spirited grass. I'll just stay here to try and break into the advanced stage of the true god realm! After all, I don't know what will happen out there!"

Fane looked at the pill in his palm, confidence brimming in him.

He had already broken into the intermediate stage of the true god realm for some time. His Chi was thick and rich, and his cultivation level was stable. He believed that with the second-grade elementary pill, it would not be a problem for him to break into the advanced stage of the true god realm.

After all, the Hunt family would not let them off so easily once they went out. If he managed to break into the advanced stage of the true god realm, he would not have to fear Master Hunt with his fighting prowess enhanced by the ultimate-grade spiritual tool.

Fane was also confident in his fighting skills. If he had the fighting power of someone at the peak of the true god status, it would mean that the Woods family had three people who were at that status. The Woods family's strength would be bolstered.

Of course, Fane was not sure of how he would fare compared to Master Hunt and if he could even compete against him since they had never fought before. Even those of the same cultivation level were not equal fighters, and Master Hunt was the strongest fighter of the Hunt family, the strongest family of the reclusive families.
