After listening, Megan pursed her lips and said, "So what? Who told him to disrespect you first? Besides, you have one of the War Gods backing you. Do you still need to fear him?"Severin smiled bitterly and said, "Firstly, he didn't outright refuse to invite me. He just asked Lord Nan to pass the invitation to me. It's not a big deal, just shows a lack of importance. If I directly refuse without attending after receiving the invitation, it would be a different matter."At this point, Severin paused and continued, "Secondly, although the Four War Gods have achieved great military accomplishments and have been awarded the War God's Medal, it doesn't mean they are the strongest in this world. Many hidden experts or hidden clans focus solely on cultivation and don't concern themselves with worldly matters. Moreover, even within the mortal world, there are many strong individuals willing to join the Province Governor's Mansion. If I cause a big scene with the Province Governor, it won't
At that moment, Benjamin and Clave became extremely nervous when they saw that Severin remained silent and lost in thought. After all, Benjamin was just guessing, but if Severin could offer some guidance, it would undoubtedly improve their future prospects. The most crucial point was that if Severin were to accept Benjamin as his disciple, it would not only benefit Benjamin but also provide support for their family.After contemplating for a while, Severin decided that it was necessary to take on such a disciple. In the future, he would definitely come into contact with people from other disciplines, and having an extra person to assist in alchemy would be beneficial.He handed the pill back and said, "The first pill you refined already has such distinct layers, which is actually quite impressive. However, I still want to check and see how strong your mental power is. This is crucial to determine if you're suitable for alchemy. Strong mental power is essential.""Yes!"Benjamin fel
"You have second-grade alchemical recipes too?"Clave's and Benjamin's jaws nearly fell to the ground. They thought they had heard wrong. It was already hard enough to get a first-grade alchemical recipe. In fact, it was through pure luck that Benjamin was able to get two first-grade alchemical recipes so it stood to reason that they would find it hard to believe Severin was able to easily get his hands on a first-grade alchemical recipe, let alone a second-grade alchemical recipe.Severin simply nodded nonchalantly. Not only did he have second-grade alchemical recipes but he also had many third-grade and fourth-grade alchemical recipes since the alchemy manual Wuhlricht gave him contained many such alchemical recipes. Moreover, every alchemical recipe in the manual came with detailed instructions, precautions to take note of, and even summaries of the ingredients needed."Thank you, Master!" said Benjamin excitedly.Severin smiled and said, "Why don't the two of you wait here and
Severin gave a nod of approval. "Not bad. You've improved quite a lot. There are fewer impurities in the pill you've made this round. However, you really need to increase your success rate of making these pills. Also, you need to have more patience. Especially when your attainment is still a bit low. It's best to take a rest after three or four tries. You can use that time to analyze what went wrong in your attempt."Benjamin nodded proudly and said, "Thank you, Master. I actually feel like I've improved a lot after taking in your pointers." Then he broke out in an awkward and said, "It's just that… I don't know how I could ever repay you.""Don't worry about that. You training hard for a breakthrough is already payment enough. In fact, I'm counting on you to provide me with an endless supply of alchemical pills in the future," Severin replied with a smile."Hahaha. I would be more than happy to do that."At that moment, Sheila along with the others came back from the outside."He
Hearing that, Carol immediately frowned and asked, "You really think so, Great Elder? But my son has been hard at work learning how to make alchemical pills. Plus, he already reached the attainment of level two warrior king despite being so young. So how it is possible that, given his talent, his chances are quite low?"Grandma Nicholz looked at Great Elder in anticipation of his answer. She, too, wanted to know why he would say something like that.Great Elder smiled bitterly before explaining, "Carol, having high attainment doesn't automatically mean he'll be good at making alchemical pills. I admit, he's very talented at fighting but when it comes to his talent in making alchemical pills… well, it's hard to say.""But he managed to make an alchemical pill with no prior teaching from anyone! You saw it too. Doesn't that just mean he has the talent to do so?" Carol insisted stubbornly."Well, he had been trying for such a long time so who's to say it wasn't pure luck that he manag
"Good, good, good. You've really got yourself a nice master there," said Grandma Nicholz happily."Congratulations, Benjamin!""Yes, congratulations." Benjamin's family congratulated him one after another.Meanwhile, Severin and his family had reached home too."Severin, are you really going to Skystream City to attend the Province Governor's 60th birthday in a couple of days' time?" asked Megan with a sly smile.Knowing Megan was definitely up to no good, Severin frowned and said, "Go on. Spit it out. Tell me what you want.""Oh, it's nothing… I'm just wondering if I can go with you."Sheila's eyes immediately lit up when she heard that. "I want to go too! Take me, Severin, take me too!""Skystream City is the biggest and busiest city in the whole of Skystream Province. Severin, you must take me with you since I've never been there before," said Felicia."But Mom, I plan to go alone. The city is quite far so it won't be convenient for you all to go with me," said Severin with
Faced with Felicia's theatrics, Severin did not know whether to laugh or cry. He never expected she would use this trick on him since he only had ever seen her use it on William."Mom, the thing is I can't keep watching over you all every second. What if someone tries to murder you? You'll still be dead even if I managed to avenge you. Then I'll have to live the rest of my life in regret. So it's best if you stay here…"Felicia immediately stopped crying. She then stood up and said seriously, "Everybody will eventually die someday. Besides, I heard from Diane that fighters like you have come to learn not to fear death. I might not be a fighter but I'm prepared to meet with the grim reaper anytime. What's the point of living if I can't even go after my dreams? I, Felicia Shanahan, swear to live life to the fullest even if it means I'll die sooner than later.""Fine… how can I say no after that little speech of yours?" said Severin with a shake of his head."Yay! Does that mean you'l
After a pause, he added wryly, "But Diane, Megan, Sheila, and my mother-in-law insisted on going with me so I was hoping the six of you will come with us and act as their bodyguard while they go shopping. 'Cause you know how dangerous and tense things are in Skystream City at the moment.""Skystream City? Oh, goody! You can definitely count on us, Master!" Naomi said happily."Oh wow. I've always wanted to visit Skystream City and now I've finally got the chance!" said Kiera excitedly."Rest assured we'll do our best to protect Miss Diane and the others. Naomi and the rest of them have reached the attainment of level four warrior king after taking the second-grade low-rank alchemical pills you gave them. As for myself, I have reached the attainment of level five warrior king… so unless we come across someone more powerful than us, Miss Diane and the others should be safe with us," said Wendy with one hand cupped around the other."Thank you. I'll be more at ease knowing the six of
