Different from the Cultivation Stabilizing Pill, Krune had it quite easy to finish cleaning the impurities with the Shell Fixing one.
'Great! Last time, I didn't have conditions of keeping using the Burning Law anymore after finish removing the impurities. But now, I should be able to finish the entire process with it. Since that's the case, let's try the Extreme Infusion technique right from the start!'
Krune then went through the entire concoction by using his Purple Flames, Burning Laws, and the Extreme Infusion Technique. Of course, he isn't using it for just one minute, but for the entire process, so he still felt quite some burden.
'Fortunately, I'm not using as much Spiritual and Elemental Energy as before. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't be able to finish this. Also, the level of the pill will definitely not be the same as the Cultivation Stabilizing one.'
Krune was once more sweating all over when he finally reached the point he had to form the pill. But he was happy to see that there would be no such thing as an explosion this time around.
'Let's form the pill!'
The medicinal liquid started to gather in the center of the cauldron, while Krune kept looking at the changes in both worlds. This time, he could see the possible mishaps, so he prevented it from happening. Not long after, three pills shot out of the cauldron just in time for Krune to grab them.
"Success!"
Krune then fell on his but after putting them inside a bottle.
Palo and Lian could see just how tired Krune looked. But the simple fact that he finished the entire concoction process using his Law is already amazing enough. Alchemists like Kaio, Xaia, and Irken were already at the Divine Soul Realm when they learned their Laws. So it was a lot easier for them to control it. Not to mention that they also had a lot of experience. But what about Krune? This is only the second time he concocted using Laws. The second! And he already succeed!
"Nice work! How was it? Were you able to finish the pill?"
Krune stood up once more and gave the bottle to Lian to check.
"I believe so. Considering that the minimal level for the Shell Fixing Pill is Two Golden Stars, I'm surprised myself that it went this smooth."
Lian nodded and brought two pills out.
He passed one to Palo and kept one for himself. They then checked it with their Divine Senses.
"Sigh... almost reached the Three Golden Stars Level. To think that this is only the second time, you are really not leaving any face for us old geezers, uh?"
Krune scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed.
"It only thanks to all the information available in the Alchemist Guild that I could reach this level so fast. Also, without that extreme infusion technique, there is no way I could do something like this."
Palo nodded and then said.
"Anyway. At least we can now change your qualification to a Two Golden Stars Alchemist. Since it seemed to be your limit at the moment, this level should suit you very well. Instead of trying to raise it, try to get used to the current one for now. If you keep rushing up this way, it might affect your concoction in a bad way in the future."
Krune agreed with him.
"I was already planning to do that anyway. The good thing is that concoction is helping me a lot to understand the Burning Law, so I intend to spend some time on it for the time being. But first, I have another thing to do before I start practicing alchemy again. Since I did not need to concoct a pill like that Cultivation Stabilizing one, Dilo doesn't need to wait a month for me. Just give one of those Shell Fixing Pill, and let's see if it works."
The three then returned to where Dilo was and talked with him about the new pills that Krune concocted.
Dilo, of course, immediately got excited.
"You have tried several different Foundation Repairing Pills before, so you should already know that you will need a lot of Spiritual Energy together with it. Last time you used the Energy from the breakthrough, this time, you will need Spirit Stones Instead. Do you have any with you at the moment?"
Dilo nodded.
"Even though I have spent almost everything I had, I still always keep some with me for some emergency. It should be enough to test this pill."
Lian nodded and gave one of Krune's pill to him.
Dilo had tried a Shell Fixing Pill before, so he could tell that this one was definitely different. The most eye-catching part was the purple hue on it, just like the Cultivation Stabilizing Pill from before. Dilo then sent some Spiritual Energy on it, and sure enough, a harmless purple flame also came out from it. This scene immediately increased his hopes that the pill would work.
Just as Dilo was about to consume the Pill, Lian warned him.
"As you can see, this pill is also different from the common one. So it will be the first time someone is trying it. If something happens, the Alchemist Organization won't be responsible. Are you okay with that?"
Dilo then laughed out loud and said.
"There was no need for you to say that. I've been a guinea Pig for quite some time now, so I have nothing to lose anymore."
He brought out all his remaining Spirit Stones and ate the Shell Fixing Pill straight away.
Different from the Cultivation Stabilizing Pill, this one's Energy went directly to the cracks on Dilo's foundation. Just like before, it was also purple. Dilo then started to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stones and send where the cracks and the Purple Energy were. The Purple Energy and Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Stones mixed together and started to heal Dilo's foundation. Just like before, Krune's pill purple energy seemed to devour the Spiritual Energy like it was a beast.
Once the healing process started, Lian, Palo, and Krune immediately noticed the difference. The healing power of Krune's pill had indeed increased quite a bit. Don't look down on this improvement. Krune's Cultivation Stabilizing Pill was at the Five Golden Stars Level, at the very least. But the Shell Fixing one is still at the Two Golden Stars level. The fact that its healing power is already higher while being at a lower level is proof that this pill was really made for this use.
In the end, the Cultivation Stabilizing Pill was really a lot better for its original use instead of the side effect.
Krune smiled after seeing that it worked.
'Fortunately, I didn't have to spend an entire month to get used to the Burning Law. This Shell Fixing Pill already did the job. The good thing is that I really don't need to repeat that process from the Alchemist Competition.'
Finally, the last crack on Dilo's foundation closed up. With that, the Pill effect also disappeared.
Dilo opened his eyes and felt like giving a roar.
Immediately after, an explosion of Spiritual Energy came out from Dilo's body. Lian and Palo quickly noticed what was happening.
"He's breaking through into the Soul Forging Realm! Quick, send him away, we can't have the Tribulation Fire falling right in the middle of the Headquarters."
Palo knew that it wasn't Dilo's fault. After consuming so many pills without being able to advance in Cultivation, it goes without saying that Dilo's body accumulated a lot of medicinal power from those pills. Now that his foundation is repaired, it all came back at once. If he tried to hold all that energy, Dilo's foundation might explode right there and then.
Palo quickly opened a Spatial Gate and threw Dilo inside. There was still some time before the Tribulation arrived, so it was enough to send Dilo somewhere safe for the breakthrough. Palo looked at Krune after and asked.
"Want to take a look? I can bring you there, as well."
Krune pondered a bit and nodded.
"Sure, I've never seen a Soul Forging Realm breakthrough. This is a good chance to take a look."
Krune also followed inside. Because the place wasn't too far, even Palo could open a Spatial Gate with his Cultivation. Elder Lagan was only necessary because Riren Planet was quite some distance away.
As soon as Krune appeared on the other side, he noticed the Tribulation Fire Clouds in the sky. As mentioned before, Dalin Universe uses Fire Tribulation instead of Lightning.
Palo appeared beside Krune and said.
"Seems like he will be fine, the amount of medicinal energy accumulated in his body during all this time should be enough for him to surpass it."
Krune nodded and looked at the fire covering Dilo's whole body.
Sure enough, it was who knows how many times stronger than the one that hit Ruik. But with Krune's Divine Sense, he could at least tell that Dilo was doing quite well by himself. All the medicinal energy that was overflowing in his foundation was being used to resit the fire.
In the end, Dilo was able to succeed in his Tribulation without any significant problems. He then stood up once more and took out some clothes from his Spatial Ring. It goes without saying that his previous clothes were reduced to ash!
Palo nodded and then opened a Spatial Gate again.
"Let's first return to the Headquarters, we can talk after that."
Once they were back, Dilo immediately kneeled once more for Krune.
Krune, of course, couldn't stand it anymore and begged Dilo to stand up. Only after several tries, Dilo agreed with it.
"There is really no need to go that far. I told you before, this would be the payment for your help with the first pill."
Dilo shook his head.
"There is no such thing as payment, both Pills were the reason that I restored my Cultivation. I wasn't lying when I said that I would prefer to die than not being able to cultivate anymore. So, from this day onwards, I'm here for your every call."
Krune started to sweat.
"Cough, cough. There is really no need for that, trust me, it's okay. Besides, following a Core Formation Realm weakling like me around won't bring you anything good."
Dilo couldn't disagree more. He is sure that someone like Krune will definitely rise in the future. He wasn't lying when he said that he has an average talent. If he doesn't take this chance now, he is sure to regret it in the future. Not to mention that he really is grateful because of what happened!
"It doesn't matter what you say, I have made my mind."
Krune could already feel the headache coming his way.
