The Alchemy of Heaven and Earth was a prestigious event, facilitated by the most influential alchemist faction in Pardera: the Skyroot Faction.
This grand competition, held once every hundred years, attracted hundreds of master-grade alchemists, all at grade 5 and higher. For many, it was not only a test of skill but also a chance to ascend to greatness.
Emery had registered to participate and now had five days to prepare.
The information he had gathered revealed stark differences between this competition and the ones held at the Magus Realm Apothecary Center.
For one, Tartarus alchemists were not merely academics; they were battle-hardened practitioners trained to use their skills under duress. Most were spirit masters, wielding powerful soul force to manipulate ingredients with precision. This competitive edge often resulted in casualties during the intense contests—a detail that didn't deter Emery but, instead, fueled his determination.
