Chapter 2889
Empyrean herbs were abundant in the Celestial Abode.
James began to practice.
Soon, he could extract some components from the herbs, but they were low-graded components.
Afterward, he started using extracted components according to the formulas to refine elixirs.
Many medicinal herb powders appeared in the alchemy furnace.
James carefully controlled the flame, and the powders slowly fused to form a few round pills.
“Haha! I did it!” Seeing that he successfully refined a pill, James laughed out loud.
Nova immediately humbled him by saying, “Don’t get too excited.
You only refined a very simple pill.
It’ll be much more complicated to refine higher- grade pills and elixirs.
You must at least refine a Fifteenth-Grade Sage Rank Elixir to win the Alchemy Tournament.
You still have a long way to go.” Hearing this, James grew dejected.
A Fifteenth-Grade Sage Rank Elixir? Could he succeed with the remaining time? The pill that James refined was of an average grade.
Average elixirs were also graded from the First Grade to Ninth Grade.
Only elixirs after the Ninth Grade were considered Sage Rank.
James immediately felt a headache coming up upon thinking about all of this complicated stuff.
Alchemy was very complex.
If not because he had to become an alchemist, he would never want to learn alchemy.
However, it was important since he had to obtain the Ancestral God Rank elixir.
Do you think I can win or stand out in the Alchemy Tournament?” Nova smiled and said, “I don’t know, but you’ll have to try.
Bring the Martial Alchemy Furnace with you.
It might be of help.” “Mhm.” James nodded.
There was no other choice but to try.
“Still, your improvements are the fastest among the alchemists I’ve seen.
You’ve got great potential.
Emperor Jabari had recruited many disciples in the past, but none of them compare to you.” Nova was very optimistic about James.
James smiled in response.
The great number of herbs available in the Celestial Abode was a vital factor that contributed to his quick attainment of such great results.
He would not have improved at such a rapid pace if there were not so many Empyrean herbs available for practice.

"Good things take time" Lol yeah, a hundred and fifty trillion years, apparently....
How was Sheldon Jame's first disciple? Wasn't the Black Eagle King the first? Where has he disappeared to all this time?...
Unbelievable... I thought James was rid of the annoying "honey, darling" Thea by going to the Demonic Realm, but now she's gone there too *puke*...
This Thea is the most narcissistic woman of all, constantly interrupting James's cultivation, getting in the way of his plans and slowing him down. He was well rid of her but the author went bonkers a few hundred chapters into the story and decided to pair her back with James.. Yuck!...
Thea doesn't deserve James, it so sad he loves her...
Thank you so much for all the effort. I love all the stories I've read. I hope to continue reading "The Almighty Dragon General" story. 😊...
