Chapter 429: Alchemy Purity, Progenitors, and Life Origin Foxes.
To evaluate alchemy pills, there are various steps to take. However, the results can be summarized into a percentage purity value.
If a person is skilled enough, he or she can determine purity by looking at the pills. Kali didn't have the skill to do so for pills of her rank. Even then, analyzing a low-level pill like Yasenia's was not difficult.
Kali levitated the four pills with her energy and moved toward the table.
Yasenia asked. "What are you doing? Aren't they failed pills?"
Kali shook her head. "Silly Yasenia, did I tell you that you failed? A failed pill is usually black and fails to have a rounded appearance. Your four pills are rounded, dark orange, and have dark spots. This means your pills aren't failed products."
Kali placed the pills on a transparent and semi-circular glass bowl and activated the green lines moving across the see-through surface.
Yasenia knew that Kali was analyzing the pills' purity and waited for the evaluation.
After a while, Kali nodded. "As expected, you didn't fail, dear. The pills you created have sixty-two percent purity. It can be considered a very low-quality pill. To be concise, this is a high-level flawed grade pill. Pills are divided into flawed, low, mid, high, flawless, and perfect grades."
Yasenia sighed. "A flawed pill? And you are telling me it isn't a failure?"
Kali laughed. "Well, it's also not a great success. Regardless, it can be sold perfectly fine and won't harm a cultivator too much."
Yasenia looked with disdain at the pills she concocted. "Don't be soft with me, honey. These pills can only be fed to brainless animals."
Kali smiled wryly. "Well, in your eyes, that's right. But some people would sell all their fortune to buy a pill like these."
Yasenia rolled her eyes. "Well, some people would kill for one of my scales. This doesn't mean I have to sell them, right?"
Kali nodded. "You have a point."
Yasenia caught the four pills and commented. "If I remember correctly, a Flawed-grade is a pill between 55 and 65 percent, a low-grade pill is between 66 and 75, a high-grade pill is between 76 and 85, a flawless-grade pill is between 86 and 95, and a perfect-grade pill is between 96 and 100 percent."
Kali nodded. "Well, you are mostly right."
Yasenia remembered. "Right, this is for common pills. A high-level recipe pill can pass the one hundred percent purity in the right conditions."
Kali nodded. "Right, but those things are a bit out of reach."
Yasenia looked at Kali's pill curiously and asked. "How much purity does the pill you made have?"
Kali laughed and answered. "Well, it has a ninety-seven percent purity, a low-level perfect-grade pill. Compared to yours, it is many times stronger and creates negligible impurities. This means it is adequate to consume at will until the effectiveness disappears."
Yasenia sighed in admiration. "You are so talented, honey. I truly picked up a treasure by having you as my lover."
Kali blushed, and her tails wagged. Then, she whispered. "I'm the lucky one. I don't know what would've happened to me without you."
Yasenia smiled and kissed Kali's scarred lips. Kali answered eagerly and hugged Yasenia closely.
Yasenia lifted an eyebrow when she heard Kali's small moan. "Oh my~, is my fox in heat?"
Kali's eyes misted, and she blushed. "I'm not."
However, the coquettish voice betrayed her thoughts. Yasenia went to a sofa at the side and had some fun together.
After twenty minutes, Kali was plastered all over Yasenia while purring comfortably. She was straddling the dragoness with sweat dripping down her body.
Yasenia kissed Kali's neck and face slowly and spoke. "Did you like it? Hm? Do you feel warm inside?"
Kali's two tails wagged rapidly as she licked Yasenia's neck. The sweet taste of Yasenia's sweat made her tongue tingle delightfully.
Yasenia and Kali were speechless. Kali asked. "How does that work?"
Valeria sighed. "I haven't seen her in person. However, I've heard tales of the Succubus Progenitor smiling to a rock, and the rock was so charmed that it gained a soul and followed her for life."
Yasenia felt that she was ugly compared to someone for the first time in her life.
What kind of concept was that beauty? What happens to a living being if a rock can be charmed with a smile!?
Valeria saw their faces and chuckled. "However, don't worry too much. It is unknown if that existence is even alive. After all, she is so dangerous that even many Demons want to kill her."
Yasenia asked. "Have you ever seen her?"
Valeria shook her head. "Thankfully, no."
Yasenia was surprised at her answer. Valeria sighed and explained. "She is basically my nemesis. I'm a life-oriented nature spirit with a natural impulse to breed and propagate life. The succubus Progenitor is a normal woman, but she is so fertile that her body fluids can impregnate other women and even normal men. If I had met her before I matured, the succubus race would have been much more dominant today."
Yasenia was confused. "Wouldn't you be happy to be with one of the most fertile existences?"
Valeria shook her head. "There is too much for everything."
Kali frowned, worried. Valeria leaned forward and patted her head. "Don't worry, Kali. If you manage to unlock all nine tails, your presence will be enough to counter hers."
Yasenia lifted an eyebrow. "[Life Oirign Nine Tail Fox] are that powerful?"
Valeria chuckled. "Their name is not for show. However, very few manage to reach the nine tails."
Valeria corrected herself. "Well, not 'very few.' After the Heavenly Cataclysm, I haven't heard of a single one appearing. Even before it, they were considered extinct."
Yasenia looked at Kali and spoke. "Well, there is one here."
Valeria chuckled. "I mean foxes of that bloodline with the ability to grow the ninth tail. Even a [One Tailed Nature Fox] can give birth to a [Origin Life Fox]. However, it is difficult to tap into that bloodline's potential."
Yasenia nodded, having learned a new thing today. "Well, let's get back to work!"
Valeria and Kali nodded, became strict teachers, and taught Yasenia for the rest of the morning.
Yasenia went to cook at one o clock, preparing another delicious meal. This time, she made fish soup that improved metabolism and increased impurity cleansing.
The effects were mild but would add up as the days passed.
Yasenia was focusing on foundation strengthening with her cooking. Things that didn't directly show but accumulated to create an advantage. In short, the growth would be slow, but her dears would become stronger after a while.
Yasenia and Kali returned to the alchemy room in the afternoon and continued practicing.
Meanwhile, the others were also doing their thing.
Andrea, Evelyn, and Angel were studying and working. Cecile was training with Sierra. Ebirah accompanied Andrea and helped her whenever she could. And Tatyana was meditating and stabilizing her body.
She wasn't used to having such a weak body, so she was a little out of tune.
Night arrived, and after a delicious dinner made by Yasenia, they spoke a bit about their plans for the auction.
They were sitting on the couch in the living room, with Sierra lying on the outside. Yasenia hugged Angel on her lap and had Andrea and Evelyn on her sides.
The others were in front of her, sitting on comfortable armchairs.
Yasenia noted that Ghana didn't come back today. However, she had given her a communication tool, so she relaxed, knowing nothing had happened to her.
