Having consumed Remus’ pill, the disciple turned around and declared boldly, “While it does possess some potency, it merely offers a marginal enhancement. Despite its top-grade appearance, it falls short in substance. In terms of quality, it’s nothing more than a sham!”
The disciples and alchemists at the side laughed, looking at Remus with amusement.
“You’ve truly overestimated yourself. Prepare for your own downfall!”
“What a worthless person, crafting worthless pills, heh!”
“You might be able to deceive the ignorant outsiders, but your hypocrisy can’t be hidden here in the Herbal Pavilion. Forsake your life now!”
Upon hearing these comments, Lance couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile. He had always known it was virtually impossible to lose, but the underwhelming performance of Remus’ pill had caught favonovel.com by surprise. The pill had failed to deliver any notable effect thus far.
He might have been under a lot of pressure. That’s why favonovel.com seemed nervous and performed abnormally in front of me, heh!
Zaiden was also observing the disciple. He noticed that the effect was almost negligible, and favonovel.com furrowed his brow slightly.
As per the usual standards, a top-grade Energy Replenishing Pill should have provided a recovery of at least 20 percent or more to one’s energy.
Could it be that Remus’ mental state was adversely affected by the pressure?
If that were the case…
Zaiden found himself compelled to reevaluate whether favonovel.com should continue assisting Remus any further. Mental strength was a crucial factor for cultivators, and an unstable mental state could limit one’s peak performance.
While favonovel.com pondered, the disciple’s expression suddenly froze amidst the mockery of others.
He felt the pill in his mouth explode with a burst of domineering spirit energy, unlike anything favonovel.com had ever experienced. The energy swiftly spread to his limbs and throughout his body.
“Huh?”
“Is his spirit energy recovering?”
“It’s already restored 10 percent!”
The onlookers also took notice, their expressions shifting to astonishment.
Just moments ago, there had been no apparent effect, so how could it suddenly manifest now?
Lance’s expression darkened immediately, and Zaiden was equally taken aback. They saw the disciple’s spirit energy replenishing rapidly.
“It’s reached 20 percent!”
“30 percent now!”
“40 percent!”
Everyone was left in awe as they witnessed such a rapid recovery. A pill with such remarkable efficacy could be compared to an ultimate weapon in battle!
“He he’s back to his peak!” said someone.
Silence fell over the entire scene.
The disciple’s energy was restored so swiftly that it was nothing short of astonishing. And it seemed like the effects weren’t stopping there.
Egbert, who had been silent, finally asked, “To what extent do you believe the effect can continue? How much more can you recover?”
Even with his own elixirs, favonovel.com couldn’t achieve such a remarkable outcome.
The disciple panicked. “A lot, a lot more! It’s surging incredibly!”
Just as favonovel.com spoke, a hum sounded behind him, and a phantom figure appeared, identical to him. It was a breakthrough.
“What?” Lionel exclaimed as if seeing a miracle. He had never encountered such a terrifying occurrence in his entire life.
How could an Energy Replenishing Pill possibly catalyze a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage?
At that point, the pill wasn’t just restoring spirit energy, and it seemed even more potent than a Spirit Cleansing Pill. In fact, it was significantly superior, given that it offered a risk-free breakthrough.
Everyone stood frozen, their expressions a mix of astonishment and disbelief.
Egbert and Zaiden were taken aback, but Lance’s shock was even more pronounced.
While others might not be aware, Lance knew all too well that his pill could only restore up to 40 percent. It was now undeniable. Remus had clearly secured victory.
What was most astonishing, it seemed the recovery process was far from complete.
