As a result, Severin was excited when he saw the furnace for the first time, and he even spent some time admiring it before he put it away. Soon, he waved his palm again and produced a very small, very thin, and very ancient-looking book."No way! It's an instruction manual on alchemy." Severin could not contain his calmness anymore after turning it over and reading a page. Brandon probably had a position in the sect and probably learned alchemy from one of the elders as a disciple.After perusing the book, he found that the recipes contained within were that of several first-grade low-rank, first-grade medium-rank, and first-grade high-rank pills—all basic pills. "Looks like he's just a beginner, and at best, he couldn't have exceeded the level of a first-grade high-rank alchemist. That's probably the reason his elders gave him this manual."Severin pondered for a moment and smiled contentedly after placing it back. "Then again, it's good to have the basics. With these recipes, I c
Back at Brookbourn, Selene ran up to Diane on the morning of Augustfest and looked up obediently at Diane."Mom! Where did Dad go? Why isn't he back yet?" Diane smiled lightly, touched Selene's head, and said, "Dad has something very important to take care of, and he'll be back in a few days! Didn't he tell you that he'll buy you a lot of toys once he comes back?""He did! I hope he comes back soon so I can have lots of toys!" Selene said happily.Diane smiled, but she was still a little puzzled nonetheless. She was unsure what sort of fate or destiny Severin's master had previously mentioned to him, and Severin only explained that there would be great benefits if he went there. The exact nature of such benefits was unknown, even to Severin!"We can leave now. Everything is ready!" Maurice carried plenty of gifts as he walked out of the villa with Judith."Sure. My mother just called us and asked us to be there soon." Diane said with a smile.Severin's wealth and power had been o
"Sure." Helga immediately smiled and said, "We're very happy with you, of course. There's no reason for us to look down on you!"To their surprise, however, more than a dozen people walked over and surrounded them."W-what's going on?" Helga and Landon were frightened by the appearance of those men and their expressions changed instantly.Cain glanced over, smiled slightly, and said to the couple, "No need to be afraid. They're all my people! These are some of the strongest fighters who came from Cherridom to avenge me.""Where is he, Cain? We'll kill him to avenge you, Theo, and our other comrades!" a middle-aged man with a mustache came forward and said angrily."Haha, there's no rush, Mehdi. You just arrived, so we should all get something to eat first. We can still talk about this tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow!" Cain smiled. After informing Theo's death to the Slasher Gang, their boss was so infuriated that he sent several elite fighters over. They were the creme de
Over at Riverson, Jada went to Quintus's house bearing many gifts after the Novaks invited her over.As the two of them walked into the yard, Jada said to Quintus, "How are you feeling, Quintus? Has your mood improved recently? You might have suffered a lot in Brookbourn, but no one in Riverson knows about it. Don't you think we should just forget about what happened?"Quintus clenched his fist when he heard that and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. "Forget it? Hehe, I can never forget it. I have never been so humiliated in my life. Severin killed plenty of my family's powerful people and made me kneel more than once. After my parents found out, they got so pissed that wished that they could hire someone to kill him. If we did not know how powerful he is, we would have fought him to the death long ago."Having said all that, Quintus paused. "You're right when you say that no one in Riverson knows about what happened to me in Brookbourn, but I have nightmares every night
Severin frowned, and finally bowed his hands respectfully to Wuhlricht and said, "Greetings, uncle-master, sir! My name is Severin!"After finishing speaking, Severin smiled slightly and said, "Sir, why didn't my master ever mention you to me before? He just told me to come here on the fifteenth of August this year because I would be able to get something opportune. Does something like that exist? Will you be handing over some treasure to me, perhaps?"Severin's grinning face prompted Wuhlricht to remark, "No wonder everyone calls you Little Wacko. You share the same similarities with my senior, and that is the lack of seriousness in both your characters!"Severin smiled awkwardly. "Whether or not I have a serious character is beside the point. I simply want to know if that opportunity exists, and if there is any treasure?"Wuhlricht glared at Severin and produced a wine gourd with a flip of his palm. He handed it to Severin and said, "What's the rush? Why don't we sit down and hav
Wuhlricht rolled his eyes at Severin and said, "You have a way with words, little one, and you're quite handsome too. I'm rather pleased!"Severin nearly fainted. 'What's with him all of a sudden?' He immediately took a few steps back and had a strange expression while he asked, "Umm…sir…are you…okay? I hope you don't have some weird…uh…fetishes?""Oh, piss off!" Wuhlricht could not help himself from glaring at Severin and saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm as normal as can be!""Phew, that's good to know!" Severin patted his chest and remarked somewhat traumatizingly, "Why would you comment about how pleased you are that I'm handsome? Are looks a criterion for you to hand me the treasure?""Haha, I'm not going to tell you anything. You'll just have to find out for yourself in the future! It'll probably take a year or so though!"Wuhlricht was also amused by Severin's glib and waved his palm to produce a treasured sword which he then tossed to Severin."This is..."
"That being said, I'm not going to just give these to you for nothing!" Wuhlricht said.Severin did not see that coming, especially since Wuhlricht was just smiling a second ago. His lips twitched violently a couple of times. "I knew there had to be a catch!"Wuhlricht smiled and said "Haha, it benefits you too. In exchange for the manual and the sword, I'll give you one year to find all the hall masters of Dracodeus Temple and train them to reach level one of warrior emperor. Should you succeed, then you may bring them to me and receive something even bigger than what you've been given today!"Following a brief pause, Wuhlricht added, "Of course, you would still have to come meet me even if you fail in that regard. It goes without saying that the rewards might not be as good as if you were to succeed.""Goodness. Don't you think that's too big a demand?" Severin's eyes widened when he heard that. He wanted that reward. The difficulty in achieving that lay not in finding all the tw
"I have nine more halls to locate, so I guess I'll just have to give it my all!" Severin could not help but lament. "I still have to find some spiritual herbs and alchemical materials or else I wouldn't be able to do any alchemy."Wuhlricht, however, smiled again and directly took out a spatial ring, which he tossed to Severin. "Don't worry, I've prepared a lot of materials for you already. There are first-grade and second-grade spiritual herbs here, as well as other supplementary materials that you might need. The only thing that's not in there is third-grade spiritual herbs! Without these, you wouldn't have a chance to succeed in reaching that goal, since you would have to look for the nine others in addition to gathering the materials for alchemy."Severin took the spatial ring, glanced at its contents, and immediately opened his mouth wide in surprise. There were indeed a lot of spiritual herbs in it. Two hundred stalks of first-grade low-rank spiritual herbs were heaped to one c
