Is that a Wisp?

Two days later, Lian and the other alchemists were finally able to confirm that Krune's pill at least probably wouldn't cause any harm to the user. So today, they had someone finally trying it out to see its effect.

While they were walking to the cultivation room, Lian commented a little about it.

"As you know, Cultivation Stabilizing Pills are generally used by those who just had a Breakthrough. No one here is in that state at the moment, so I had the guys look for someone to help with it. Since we confirmed that the pill probably can't cause any harm, what is left if for us to have it tested."

"We also confirmed that the properties are indeed very close to a normal Cultivation Stabilizing Pill, so I believe that the pill should work just like any common one. Our doubts now are if it is as good as a normal one and if it has any other extra effect.

Once they arrived in the cultivation room, there was a man already waiting for them there.

"His name is Dilo Krois, 237 years old Divine Soul Realm cultivator. He had been at the peak of the 8th Stage for quite a good number of years now. Because of the missuse of cultivation resources, his Foundation was damaged, and he can't advance in cultivation without external help. He will be the person testing our pill today."

It turns out that the Alchemist Organization made a deal with Dilo. They would provide help for him to enter the 9th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm, and in exchange, he would test that new Cultivation Estabilizing Pill.

Palo looked at Krune and added.

"Our Alchemist Guild won't force anyone into tests, we always try to strike a deal. They will then sign a contract with us, and both parties will play their own roles. Once the test is done, the cultivators are free to do whatever they want."

Krune couldn't help but comment.

"But isn't it too risky? What if the pill has a fatal issue?"

The one to answer Krune's question was Dilo himself.

"That's not an issue. Just like me, anyone who decided to make a deal with the alchemist guild knows very well about the risks. But the prospect of not being able to cultivate anymore is scarier for me than death itself. So even if the pill turns out into something dangerous, I am willing to take the risk. Trust me when I say that all the other cultivators and demon beasts that sign a contract with the alchemist organization are more or less in the same boat."

Krune sighed and didn't say anything else. In the end, since the organization didn't force anyone, it was their decision to whether it was worthy or not participating in this.

Palo then added.

"Haha! There is no need for you to feel like that. I might as well tell you that the number of times that a Pill end harming its user is minimal. As you saw before, we always make a thorough analysis of the pill's content, and only when we think it is safe enough, we call someone to test it."

Krune then asked.

"Wouldn't it be better to test it first with some common animal?"

As soon as Krune made that question, he immediately understood that it was quite an idiotic one.

"Forget what I said. How come pills made for cultivators and demon beasts could show any desired results in common animals? That would be ridiculous!"

Lian nodded.

"That's right. This time around, we selected a Divine Soul Realm cultivator because we believe that your pill is at the One or Two Golden Stars Level. It would be a waste to use it on those below. As for the Soul Forging realm and higher, the effect wouldn't be as apparent."

Dilo looked at the pill bottle on Lian's hand and asked.

"That's the pill, right? Can we start now?"

Lian nodded and passed to Dilo two different pills.

One of them was Krune's Cultivation Estabilizing Pill.

As for the other, it was a Pill to help Dilo achieve a breakthrough even though his Foundation is damaged. After all, if he doesn't advance to the next stage, there will be no cultivation to be stabilized to start with. In Dilo's case, if not because of this test of the alchemist organization, he definitely wouldn't be able to afford the pill.

Dilo took both of them and heard the explanation from Lian. After that, Lian's subordinates connected a few pads close to where his dantian was located. They would be used to analyze the effect that Krune's pill will have in the chaotic energy after the breakthrough.

Lian looked at Krune and commented.

"Dilo's case is excellent for the type of pill we want to test. Because of his damaged Foundation, he will be in an even more need of your cultivation stabilizing pill than anyone with a healthy Divine Soul Realm Foundation would."

Krune nodded and hoped that his pill would at least work as it should.

Everything was ready, and Dilo immediately consumed the first pill to make his breakthrough. He then opened his Foundation for the others to see with their Divine Sense as well. This is something that Krune had also done back in the hotel beside the Katiu Forest, so it goes without saying that Dilo can do it too.

Everyone noticed the burst of spiritual energy rushing inside Dilo's Foundation. He then made his best to convert as much as possible of that into Elemental Source Energy. As mentioned before, Core Formation and higher realms need Elemental Source Energy instead of the Spiritual one. The pill that Lian gave to Dilo helped him to make that conversion at much higher speeds than he would normally be able too. That also compensated by the cracks in his Damaged Foundation that leaked the Spiritual Energy.

Krune could see something that looked like a soul deep inside Dilo's Foundation. That 'soul' was absorbing all the Elemental Source Energy that was converted.

'That probably is what they call nascent soul.'

Still, Krune knew that it wasn't the time to pay attention to that.

A few minutes later, Dilo finally attacked the next stage's bottleneck. With the help of the Alchemist Organization, everything went smoothly, and he successfully entered the 9th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm. Dilo had been stuck at the 9th Stage for several years already, so everyone could see the happiness on his face.

As expected, the spiritual energy inside Dilo's Foundation was pure chaos due to his breakthrough. Not to mention that it was damaged to start with, which further increased the mess. Dilo's happy face immediately changed, and he quickly ate the Cultivation Stabilizing Pill from Krune.

Lian then commented.

"If it works like a normal Cultivation Stabilizing Pill, we should see a stream of gentle Spiritual Energy soon. That energy will then mix with his chaotic energy and slowly bring it under control. Considering that the pill is probably a Golden Star type at one or two Stars Level, it should take Dilo around 1 hour for him to finish bringing his cultivation back to control. At least, with a standard pill, he would need that much."

Krune and everyone else nodded. They had paid a lot of attention to the Cultivation Stabilizing Pills in the last two days, so they all got even more familiar with it.

Sure enough, as Lian mentioned, a stream of Spiritual Energy entered Dilo's Foundation. But there was one thing different about it.

Palo couldn't help but comment.

"Is it me, or that Spiritual Energy is purple too?"

Everyone nodded, they too were seeing the same thing. But it didn't stop at the color alone. What happened next was what really surprised everyone.

Suddenly, that 'gentle' purple Spiritual Energy seemed to change into a roaring dragon! It then spread around Dilo's cultivation as if it wanted to take it all for itself. Gentle was definitely the very last thing one could call it.

"Not good, if this energy causes even more chaos inside his Foundation, his Dantian will probably explode!"

Palo was just about to make a move, but a hand on his shoulder stopped him from doing so. It turned out that it was Krune who stopped him.

"What you doing? He will die if I don't act now!"

Krune shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, he is fine."

Palo was taken aback by those words.

"What are you saying? Can't you see tha-"

Palo didn't even have the time to finish rebuking Krune when suddenly, one of Lian's subordinates shouted.

"Look! Something is happening to Dilo's chaotic energy."

Palo once more focused his Divine Sense into Dilo's Foundation, and what he saw made him feel like the was hallucinating.

"How's that possible?!"

Lian's eyes immediately lit up!

"I see, so that's how it is."

Everyone looked at Lian, waiting for an explanation.

"That roaring purple energy wasn't going on a rampage as we thought. No, to be more specific, it did go on a rampage. But the target of its rage was none other than Dilo's chaotic Spiritual Energy. It is eating it all! Also, look! The places where it finished devouring Dilo's chaotic Spiritual Energy, all that was left was the purple Spiritual Energy. Still, it's not doing anything. It's just staying there as if waiting for Dilo's next order."

Krune then comment.

"Well, this is a very overbearing way to stabilize his cultivation."

The alchemists heard that and looked at Krune. They all thought the same thing.

'Wasn't it you who made it? Why are you acting like a third party?'

Krune then heard Light Spirit making a comment about it.

"What did you expect? Your purple fire exists because of my Tribulation Lightning! Do you really thing think that something created through the use of it would be 'gentle?' Ha! What a joke!"

Krune couldn't help but agree with Light Spirit's point of view.

Everyone's nervousness finally started to disappear. Of course, the most nervous one between them was none other than Dilo himself. Half of the sweat on his body was simply due to the fright that the Purple Spiritual Energy gave him at the start.

"Holy shit! This purple thing almost gave me a heart attack!"

Dilo's chaotic energy kept being devoured by the purple one during the next ten minutes until there was nothing left. In the end, all that they could see was the Purple Spiritual Energy.

Of course, now everyone, Krune included, was curious about what was different in the purple Spiritual Energy.

But there was one person that thought about something else. It was Lian!

"Hey, doesn't it mean that instead of 1 hour, Krune's pill finished stabilizing Dilo's cultivation in a little more than 10 minutes?"

Only then did everyone remember what that pill was supposed to do!

"No, wait! We need to see what that purple energy is first! If it turns out to be something harmful, then it won't matter how fast the stabilization was done."

Everyone nodded, and they looked at Dilo.

Dilo started to feel nervous once more. He had never heard about something like this, so he had no idea about what was going to happen. Still, there was only one way to find out.
