What Truly Happened
Kent's cauldron puffed, sending out dark smoke as yet another pill successfully formed—the 30th in the last three days.

He had already concluded that pills below the Tier 3 stage were no longer worthy in his eyes. His focus was now firmly set on Tier 3 and above.
That was the threshold where he would finally step into the realm of true pill-making. It would mark the stage where he could be called a Pill Grandmaster, someone with the power to suppress even a Merchant Family and become untouchable.
He had already concocted all 60 Tier 1 pills, and now, he was left with 30 more to complete the second requirement that required him to concoct another 60 Tier 2 pills.
