Is that a Wisp?

Going back to the morning of the same day.

Krune had arrived at the Alchemist Organization and went to the counter.

"Hello. I would like to apply for the alchemist exam."

The receptionist was a girl. She noticed that Krune's clothes were quite different and then asked.

"New alchemist, or do you have experience already?"

Because of the constant flow of people and beasts from other universes and planets, it was quite common to receive a new alchemist who already had a rank in their homes.

"I was a Five Bronze Stars Alchemist before coming to the Dalin Universe. But I don't know how my level is ranked here."

The girl nodded.

"In that case, you might want to take a look in our database for Bronze Stars level Alchemists. After that, you can try the examination and see where you are standing. Talk to me when you get a firm grasp of your current skill, and we can apply for a test of that level."

Krune was quite please with how smooth the organization dealt with his issue and accepted the receptionist's idea.

"Very well. Where can I get access to the database?"

The girl then gave him an electronic token and pointed to somewhere else.

"Can you see that entrance? Inside you will find several rooms that are used for study only. You can go there and read the content available for Bronze Stars alchemists and above. Although it would be better for you to keep at the Bronze Stars at the moment."

Krune agreed and then went to one of the rooms.

Just as the receptionist said, there were several rooms from which Krune selected one. The room was just big enough to hold a single person or beast in human form. In front of him, there was a terminal with a place for him to use the token. After inserting it inside, the terminal activated automatically and displayed all the information available for Bronze Stars alchemists and above.

"Well, let's take a look inside and see where I can start."

After just one hour of fast reading, Krune was utterly taken aback!

'The level of the alchemy of the Dalin Universe is several times higher than back in the Divine Path Sect. I haven't seen how the Central Region of the Luvile Universe alchemy was, but I don't think they would be better than this one. I wonder just how good the content for Silver Stars and above is.'

During his reading, Krune found an alchemy technique that caught his attention. It was called 'extreme infusion.' This technique further increased the quality of the pill, but it was tough to control at the same time. The reason that it caught Krune's attention was that the requirement was for the alchemist to have very high control of both elements and spiritual energy.

Krune, of course, thought that it didn't matter in his case. He has the Elemental Meridians, the All-Encompassing Soul Technique, not to mention his newest acquisition, the Elemental Regulation Technique from his Master. We also can't forget the fact that he has an Advanced Elemental Major Core, which makes things even easier for several elements control.

Simply put, Krune was brimming with confidence!

'If everything is as described, I believe I can jump straight to a Seven or maybe even Eight Bronze Stars Alchemist level. Let's take a further look into the information available to make sure nothing will go wrong.'

Krune then spent the day understanding the extreme infusion technique and the other content available. It had really been an eye-opener for him. He even took a quick look into the Silver Stars alchemist content available but decided to not spend much time on it due to his level.

The girl was still in her work shift when Krune returned. She didn't think much about it and just asked.

"How is it, what level would you like to try?"

Krune pondered a bit and said.

"I think I will go for a Seven Bronze Stars test. The techniques available in the Dalin Universe are much better than the ones I had, so I think I should be able to achieve this."

The receptionist thought that Krune was trying to bite too much by jumping two Stars at once. Still, it wasn't her place to stop him, only to collect the fees.

"Very well, you can participate in the daily alchemist test that we have at the end of the day. The material necessary for a Seven Stars pill will be given to you by the organization. The fee is 100 Rank 4 Spirit Stones, which will cover the test and the herbs."

Krune already got used to the extremely high price or everything in the Riren Planet, so he just paid without complaining.

"How long do I have to wait for the test?"

The girl looked at the time and said.

"It should start in one hour, so you better stay around to not lose it."

Krune nodded and went to a corner to wait. At the same time, he was revising all the information that he got in his head. As mentioned before, as long as Krune wishes for it, he will never forget what he doesn't want to.

The test soon arrived, and Krune entered the testing room. Inside, there were another 6 alchemists who applied to for the bronze star levels test. The testing room had several booths with some Alchemist tools inside. Krune also noticed that every single one of those booths had a formation which he believed was used to suppress the energy of a failed alchemy attempt.

Not long after, the examiner entered the room. Krune and the others noticed that he was quite young, definitely not above 30. He then went over to the stage in the back and started to talk.

"Alright, let's get over with it. My name is Yilio Tiun, and I'm a Four Sivel Stars alchemist. I will be responsible for this Bronze Stars Level examination."

Yilio looked at the seven contestants and said.

"Those in this room are all people or demon beasts that already have alchemy experience. I believe that the majority came from outside the Riren Planet and possibly from outside the Dalin Universe. Because you all just need to acquire the right rank for your actual skills at the moment, I won't be teaching you anything before the test."

Yilio continued.

"For those who don't know, each of the booths is protected by an energy suppressing formation. That means that even if you fail and your cauldron explodes, the other boxes won't be affected by the explosion, and no sound will come out either. The formation will be adjusted to the level of the Alchemist Stars that you intend to test yourself."

Krune and everyone just listened, so far, everything was going pretty much as they expected.

"Alright, you can select any booth and start your concoction. Once you input your electronic token in the terminal, you will be able to select the pill you want to concoct. The compartment below then will open and give you the herbs and other items necessary for your pill. Make sure you select the right pill since if you fail, you will need to pay the fee for the exam once more."

Krune didn't think much and just selected a Foundation Stabilizing pill. He had concocted this pill several times before, so he was confident in bringing this one to the Seven Stars level.

The examination started, and everyone put themselves to work. Yilio could see everything that was happening inside with his Divine Sense, so he just stayed sit put on the stage. Soon, he noticed the level of the candidates.

'Hum... everyone selected some simple pills to make. Well, that isn't wrong since they only want their alchemist qualification. Still, Krune's control of the Elements in the cauldron is quite good. I can also see that his Elemental Synch is quite refined. He should have no issues in bringing that pill to the seven stars level. As for the others, I can't tell yet.'

There was nothing surprising about it. With Krune's 'Alchemist Starter Pack' and the new techniques available in the Dalin Universe, it would be a wonder if Krune couldn't do this much. Let's not forget that Krune had also advanced to the Core Formation Realm. The last time he concocted something, he was still in the Foundation Establishment!

Krune was in the middle of the process when he finally decided to give the extreme infusion technique a try.

'It should be around now. I believe that my pill is already at the Seven Stars level, but I should try to do better. The synch can't go any further, which shows my lack of training and experience in alchemy. Still, with the extreme infusion technique, I might be able to bring it to the Eight or Nine stars level. It would be much better if I got an alchemist bad- that's right, they use the word 'Qualification' here. It would be much better if I get a Nine Bronze Stars qualification from the very start.'

Krune then decided that even if he failed today, he just has to apply for the next day test, and that was it. With that thought line, Krune started to use the extreme infusion technique. Spiritual Energy started to forcibly enter the medicinal liquid in the cauldron, which further increased the elemental synch. Not to mention the quality and impurity removal. Krune couldn't help but feel amazed by the result of this thing.

'Impressive! To think that such a technique existed. I just started a few minutes ago, but I already brought the pill to the Nine Stars Level! From what a know, to bring a pill to the Silver Stars level, one must infuse Elemental Source Energy inside. Just like the Spiritual Energy, the Elemental Source Energy Elements must also be brought into synch. The further synched, the higher the level of the Silver Star. Since I'm already here, I might as well go all out!'

Yilio, who was watching the alchemist, already had his mouth wide open!

'Impossible! Was this Krune really only a Five Bronze Stars level before? His medicinal liquid can already bring him a One Silver Star level pill!'

Krune, of course, didn't pay attention to Yilio at all.

'I still can go further!'

Two Silver Stars Level;

'Further!'

Three Silver Stars;

'Keep going, I still can do a bit more!'

Four;

Five...

Krune was just a Five Bronze Stars a few minutes ago, so the fact that he is pushing the pill to this level is already extremely taxing on him. His human body was sweating all over, but he didn't care about any of that! He was in a trance at the moment. In Krune's eyes, there was only him and the pill.

But Krune failed to notice one problem.

The pill ingredients quality... were not supposed to hold this amount of Spiritual Energy and Elemental Source Energy! Yilio, who was also in a trance watching Krune, finally noticed this problem.

'Not good!'

Still, it was too late.

The medicinal liquid inside the cauldron couldn't hold that amount of energy anymore and finally went out of control.

The result?

BOOM!

The Energy Suppression Formation from Krune's booth, which had been adjusted to a Seven Bronze Stars Level, broke apart as if it was made of glass!

The explosion swept all the other booths with the alchemists inside, and soon, the examination room was the next to not be able to hold it anymore.

"Crumble!"

And just like this, Krune sent another examination room to the other world.

Krune then started to move away from the wreckage and noticed the ragged Yilio on the other side. Not only him, but the other alchemists in the exam and the people and beasts outside were looking at Krune too. All that attention made him feel quite embarrassed.

"Cough, cough. I think that the Energy Suppression Formation wasn't working properly."

Yilio's mouth twitched after hearing that.

"Not working properly, YOUR HEAD!"
