Chapter 862 Testing His New Ability

Chapter 862 Testing His New Ability

Upon arriving at the Ritter family's treasury, Lothur immediately arranged for two 3rd-grade pills to test his new ability.

Since the pills were similar but had slight differences in purity and quality, he decided to start testing his new ability by combining two similar things.

'I will do that first and then test resources with different attributes.' He thought, imagining that the same thing that happened with these two similar pills would happen when he fused artifacts like swords.

It wouldn't make sense to fuse a sword and a spear, so he didn't want to do that kind of test. On the other hand, combining a pill that could increase one's strength with a pill that could awaken a special Physique might create something interesting.

On the other hand, he had in mind to test the results of his fusion with pills, herbs, and even minerals to create new possibilities useful to his people.

Finally, with the two similar pills in his hands, he didn't hesitate to move his spiritual energy through his 9th Soul Bone, instantly feeling the effects of this new part of himself.

As he activated his new ability, Lothur felt his hands glow an intense gold as what looked like a cauldron appeared between his hands.

Inside this cauldron, two pills floated, one circling the other more and more closer to the other, faster and faster.

Seeing the movement of these two pills, which looked like two white stars preparing to collide, Lothur felt a large amount of energy surge into the golden, semi-transparent cauldron in front of him.

Almost a minute after he began his test, the two pills emitted an intense white glow and finally collapsed against each other, emitting a powerful spiritual pulse from within the golden cauldron.

As he felt the power of the spiritual waves vibrating against the walls of his cauldron, Lothur's eyes widened, sensing something he hadn't expected to feel.

'It can't be...' He saw an entirely different pill, 50% smaller, with four colored stripes around its body, settle into his cauldron.

'This... It's a 4th-grade pill!' He saw that he had obtained a pill of a higher quality than the two pills he had used in the fusion, something incredible to obtain.

The difference between a resource with the potential to affect 3rd-stage cultivators and one with the ability to affect 4th-stage beings was completely different!

'The spirit-recovering pills I used for this fusion could only recover 100% of the energy of a level 16 Transcendent at most. But this pill... It can even fully restore a Celestial Saint!' Lothur took such a pill in his hands and saw this creation, which was 5 times more potent than the two pills he had used before.

However, this was no simple math. To produce a pill similar to the one Lothur was holding now, one would have to spend ten times more resources than to produce those two pills. At the same time, one would need a 4-star professional, a rare type of specialist in Concordia.

That was what made Lothur's fusion so impressive that it could even affect someone like him!

With his eyes shining with satisfaction, Lothur put the pill aside and looked for new resources to test his power and soon came across two more pills in his family's treasury.

This time, he chose Mountain Freshness, a 3rd-grade pill that can aid the spiritual progress of those with abilities related to the elements of wind, water, and wood. With this pill, a level 16 Transcendent could cultivate to level 17 in 50% of the time they need without the help of external items.

On the other hand, he also picked up a 4th-grade pill, Blood Sacrifice, which was a type of resource that could temporarily raise its user's strength to the peak of the 4th stage.

If the user of this pill was a 4th-stage cultivator, they would only be severely exhausted after consuming it, and they might need years of seclusion to recover. However, if someone of a lower level of cultivation took such a pill, the good effects of the pill would still be the same, but the side effects would be much worse, and there would be a high probability that the user would die after taking it.

Determined to see what his fusion with resources of different nature and quality could produce, Lothur didn't take long to use his skill again.

Even though it was a high-level skill, using it to fuse items below the 5th grade didn't require much of Lothur. He could easily fuse low-grade items for days without exhausting himself!

Soon, the two pills, one with four stripes and the other with three colored stripes, would begin to fuse under the power of Lothur's special ability.

This time, the fusion would take a few seconds longer than the previous one, showing him that the higher the quality of the 'ingredients,' the longer and more complex the fusion process would be.

Still, Lothur didn't even break a sweat to see the fusion of these two pills through to the end and soon reached the end of the process one minute and forty seconds after he had started.

When he finished, he didn't hesitate to take the white pill with 5 colored stripes in his hands, seeing that by fusing resources of different levels, he could still raise the quality of the items to a level higher than that of the highest quality resources.

'5th-grade... Moreover, this pill can temporarily raise someone's strength to the beginning of the 5th stage. If the person who consumes it has an affinity with the elements of earth, wind, or water, they can recover without much trouble after using it, even if they are only a Transcendent!' Lothur was shocked by the result of the fusion.

The formed pill had lost its ability to help cultivators reach the 3rd stage faster, which was the focus of the first pill used in the fusion. However, the result could only be described as fantastic, as something like this could greatly help the people who consumed it to temporarily use expert powers without risking their lives.

With this excellent result, Lothur was excited and soon spent the next few hours "playing" with his Ritter family's resources, learning about his ability while creating great things for his men.

When he finished his work two days after he started, the Koch family would finally bring good news about Lothur's previous request!
