Dilo then started to try to convert that purple energy into Elemental Source Energy. To his relief, there was nothing wrong with it. It wasn't neither faster or slower than the common Spiritual Energy either. For him, that is already good news, though.

"I can't see anything different. I guess that as long as I keep its conversion, the purple Spiritual Energy will disappear and give place to the normal one again."

Everyone was watching Dilo's Foundation, so they knew that he wasn't lying.

But while Dilo was transforming that energy into Elemental Source Energy, something unexpected happened.

"Hum...?"

Because of his damaged Foundation, Dilo couldn't stop the spiritual energy from leaving through the cracks on it. But the purple Spiritual Energy seemed to be an exception. Even though there was a lot of it close to the cracks, it simply didn't go out. It was if the purple energy as a whole is glued to his Foundation, and it didn't leave.

"Oh! Such a good side effect. It might not have any use for those with healthy Foundations, but for someone like Dilo, it is indeed quite good."

Dilo agreed with those words.

"Indeed. I feel quite sad that I will run out of this purple Spiritual Energy in at most one hour. But there is no helping in it."

As Dilo mentioned, he didn't get any boost in cultivation speed. The fact that the purple energy didn't escape his Foundation was only good for someone with a damaged Foundation like himself. Not to mention that it wasn't infinite. The only reason that there was so much is that he just finished his breakthrough.

Lian nodded and then said.

"Still, we can confirm that Krune's Pill is definitely a Cultivation Stabilizing Pill. It's just that this thing is a little overpowered."

Palo sighed after thinking about what happened.

"Overpowered is really the perfect name for it. Only a Five Golden Stars Level pill or higher would possibly reach that speed. I wonder if I should promote you straight away to that Alchemist level."

Krune immediately shook his head.

"Better not. First of all, I don't even know if I can recreate such a pill. Even if I can, there were way too many random factors that happened during its creation. I can't possibly have my cauldron exploding every time I want to concoct a pill, right?"

Lian agreed with him.

"Krune is right. There is no doubt that it is a Golden Stars Level Pill. Still, for us to give him a Golden Star qualification, he has to be able to concoct pills at the Golden Stars level the usual way first."

Palo pondered a bit and then suggested.

"Then why don't we carry the test now? Krune, do you think you would be able to create a lower level pill?"

Krune thought about it and then nodded.

"I can think of several places were the creation of that Pill went wrong. If I prioritize safety over efficiency, I probably can at least create a pill at One or Two Golden Stars Level."

"As for that one that Dilo consumed, I doubt I can make something like that again anytime soon. After all, there was also a lot of luck involved in the process as well."

Lian and everyone else had to admit that Krune was right. They all saw the recording of the day that Krune made the Cultivation Stabilizing Pill. The fact that Krune even got a pill out of that situation is already a miracle to start with.

Palo then said.

"Alright, let's leave Dilo alone for a while for him to get used to his cultivation. Just keep someone to monitor him in case something happens. I will bring Krune to the testing room to see if he can create a Golden Star Level pill, and then proceed with his qualification update."

Lian also added.

"For the time being, I will register this Pill in the system too. Since the effects of this Pill can also be achieved by normal Five Golden Stars or higher pills, it shouldn't bring any problem to Krune. At most, cultivators or demon beasts that have their cores damaged might have some interest in it. The only difference is that the normal Pill does it gently, while Krune's one uses 'force' to achieve the same result."

Palo then requested.

"For now, leave Krune's name out of the registering forms. It won't be good if someone finds out that he was able to create a pill at the Five Golden Stars Level."

Lian agreed with Palo, it would only give Krune more concerns instead of advantages. Not to mention that Krune participated in the competition under another name and appearance. If they suddenly use Krune's information in the Pill, some sharper eyes might connect the points.

Just as everyone was about to leave the room, something happened to Dilo.

*Bleh!*

Out of nowhere, Dilo vomited blood!

Such a scene immediately alarmed Krune and everyone else.

Palo immediately rushed to Dilo's side and put a hand on his back. But after circulating his Spiritual Energy to check Dilo's condition, his expression became weird.

"What is it? Is something wrong with his body?"

Palo shook his head.

"There is nothing wrong with him."

His words immediately puzzled everyone.

Dilo then opened his eyes and said.

"He's not lying. In fact, I couldn't be better!"

Dilo then took a deep breath and said.

"As you know, my Foundation is damaged and has quite a few cracks. Because of that, my meridians also got affected after so long. To prevent the damage from spreading, I usually cover the cracks with even more Spiritual Energy. But who could have thought that the Purple Spiritual Energy started to heal those cracks? It was so sudden that it affected my meridians as well."

Krune and everyone else felt that to be unbelievable. They then immediately used their Divine Sense to see Dilo's Foundation once more. Sure enough, the cracks were still there. Still, they could see them slowly recovering while the Purple Spiritual Energy was being consumed at great speeds. By the looks of it, there wouldn't be enough Purple Spiritual Energy to finish the job, though.

One of Lian's subordinates couldn't help but comment.

"That doesn't make any sense, how come a Cultivation Stabilizing Pill has the power to heal the Dantian Cracks? The Pill itself has nothing to do with it."

Lian and the others quickly nodded.

"That's true, Krune's Pill should really have nothing to do with healing. But then again, what about what we are seeing right now?"

Krune pondered a bit and then said.

"If I remember correctly, which I'm sure I do, one of the Cultivation Stabilizing Pill items is Kalag Herb. It just so happens that Kalag Herb is also used for several types of healing pills. Between them, a few are focused on healing the Foundation. Could it be the reason?"

Lian, as a Three Diamond Stars Alchemist, immediately nodded.

"Yes, I have concocted such pills before. But not only they need Kalag Herb, but there are also a bunch of other herbs necessary as well. I won't deny that Kalag Herb's healing properties are excellent. It is also its great power that has a great effect when used for a Cultivation Stabilizing Pill. But since when that herb alone became powerful enough to heal a cracked Foundation?"

Palo then commented.

"It's probably a side effect of that Purple Flame. Somehow, it increased the healing properties of the Kalag herb several times. Think about it, it's not only the healing properties, but the stabilizing effect is also a lot higher."

Krune also added his piece.

"That's not all, because the Purple Spiritual Energy devoured all the chaotic energy, it became even stronger. Probably, it also enhanced the properties left behind by the Kalag Herb."

Dilo didn't care about anything like that. All he wanted at the moment was to use this chance to recover his Foundation as much as possible. Even though he wouldn't have enough purple Spiritual Energy to finish it, he would still be able to recover more than half of it.

This time, no one left, and they watched as Dilo used the purple Spiritual Energy until there wasn't even a single spec left. After checking Dilo's Foundation with their Divine Senses, they concluded that around 70% of the cracks were healed, leaving only the smaller ones behind. Dilo then looked at Krune and requested.

"Sir, what would you require from me if I asked for you to make another one of those pills? As long as I make another breakthrough and use it, I should be able to fully recover. I'm willing to do anything as long as I can get one more of those pills."

Krune was taken aback by that request.

"Cough, cough. As you probably heard, the creation of this Pill was basically coincident pilled with a lot of luck. I won't say that I won't be able to make another one anymore, but at least I'm not at the level where I can accomplish it that easy."

Lian and Palo nodded as well. Chances are that if Krune tries to do that again with his actual experience, he will get a different result altogether.

Dilo then kneeled in front of Krune and begged.

"As I said before, I already tried other pills that could fix a foundation. But none of them worked it the end. The alchemists all noted that the damage was too big! They said that it would be better to start from zero. The problem is that I have an average talent, and I was already over 200 years old when the accident happened. There is no way I could reach the Divine Soul Realm again by starting with such an old body, much less now that I'm 238."

"I used all my money trying to improve my cultivation, I even accepted to be a guinea pig for pills test in the past like this one now. Everything so that one day I could find a way to fix my Foundation. So believe me when I say that whatever you want me to do, I will definitely do my best to achieve it!"

Krune felt quite awkward with the situation. Krune really wasn't lying when he said that he didn't know if he could reproduce the effects of that Pill at the moment.

Palo and Lian didn't intervene. This is a request done to Krune and only Krune, they already gave their opinions before, so it wasn't up to them to decide.

In the end, Krune sighed and said.

"I can give it a try, but I won't guarantee anything. Also, it won't be now since that Pill was created in quite a weird situation. I will need to get used to concoct with using the Burning Law before I try it again. If you are fine with waiting, then I can do at least this much for you. After all, it was you who took the risk to try my Pill anyway, it can be considered as the payment for your help."

Lian and Palo nodded, at least Krune knew that he had a lot of practice to do before attempting that once more.

Dilo thanked Krune and then asked.

"I don't mind waiting at all! But just so that I can have a notion, how long do you think you will need to get proficient with it?"

Lian and Palo almost laughed at that question. Concocting using Laws is an arduous process, even with Krune's talent, it will already be a miracle result if he takes around 10 years for it. If anything, they expect Krune to take at least 15 or so before that happens.

Krune pondered a bit and then said.

"One month should do."

Palo and Lian fainted right there and then...
