After her initial bewilderment, Mae-Lynne noticed that Severin seemed to be telling the truth, so she asked him tentatively, "You're not kidding, are you, Mister Severin? Will you be able to heal my dad?"Severin smiled and said, "Do I look like the kind of person who would joke about such a thing, especially in the presence of so many mayors, county governors, and patriarchs of aristocratic families watching? Wouldn't I just be embarrassing myself in this situation if I did that?"After hearing what Severin said, Fonzo could not hold back any longer and said in a trembling voice, "Is that true, Mister Severin? Will you really be able to cure me?"Severin smiled and said, "Of course. I can give you some dry needling treatment right now and refine for you two of the pills that I mentioned earlier. It won't take much time anyway.""Perhaps it's best not to have put too much hope on this, otherwise we'd only be setting ourselves up for greater disappointment!" Mae-Lynne thought about
Despite Severin's convincing statement, Fonzo did not dare to put too much hope on Severin for fear that he might be disappointed."You flatter me. Let's have a seat over there. I'll do some dry needling with you for the moment!" Severin smiled slightly, walked over to the sofa, and beckoned Fonzo to sit down.After Fonzo had taken his seat, Severin took out a small box with a wave of his palm. Then, he rolled up Fonzo's trouser legs and examined the man's condition. Once the examination was over, he opened the box, took out a silver needle, and inserted it into a point on Fonzo's legs.Many people were curious after seeing what was going on. Since most of them had nothing better to do at the moment, they decided to watch and see if Severin was genuinely capable of healing the legs of a man who had walked with a limp for nearly ten years.Further away, Kroan and Satchel exchanged glances and had an exceedingly ugly expression on their faces. Their initial intention was to humiliate
"Not bad! I never thought I would get the chance to witness a demonstration of alchemy here! It's our lucky day today." Some of the mayors who had never seen alchemy before were intrigued when they saw that scene.The alchemists of several families who attended the birthday banquet smiled too, and one of them said, "A pill that can cure diseases is probably not very high in terms of their grade. It's very likely to be one of those lower-grade pills."Riken, however, made a sudden observation and his eyes lit up instantly. "Is that a first-grade spiritual tool? If my eyes don't deceive me, your alchemy furnace is a spiritual tool!""What? It's a spiritual tool?" Several alchemists gasped when they heard that.Even the alchemy furnace used by Riken was only a ninth-grade mystical tool, and it was already considered better than most. Though the spiritual tool used by Severin was just one grade higher than Riken's, it was still much better than the mystical tool that Riken owned.More
Such pills were not used very often, so Severin could not have refined it that many times. One could still justify the situation if the pills Severin refined aided attainment, since it was understandable that he might have refined those countless times already.However, Severin was refining a pill that could cure diseases, specifically one that helped with leg problems. There was no logical reason why a person would train their technique by refining those pills because it would only have been a complete waste of materials for him to do so.It could thus be inferred that Severin's alchemy level was certainly much higher than that of a first-grade low-rank alchemist, perhaps even higher than that of a first-grade medium-rank alchemist. He estimated that Severin was at least a first-grade high-rank alchemist because Severin could still demonstrate proficiency in refining an unfamiliar pill."His mastery of the fire is truly incredible!" After further observation, even Riken—whose skill
"He's incredibly strong! This is the first time I've seen a six-lined pill in my entire life!" An old man said excitedly."Yeah, this is the first time I've seen something like this too. I've seen an elite-quality pill before, but it was a two-lined pill that Mister Riken refined," a middle-aged man blurted out. As soon as he said that, he realized something and could not help but sneak a glance at Riken from the side.As he had expected, his misspoken remark had left Riken looking gloomy, and it was obvious that Riken was in a very sour mood.After all, Riken liked to show off in front of them whenever some elite-quality pills had been successfully refined. One could understand that Riken was not in a good mood after being compared to a brat.A thought then came to the middle-aged man's mind and he immediately explained, "Of course, there's no point comparing them with each other. After all, Riken is now a second-grade medium-rank alchemist who is soon to reach second-grade high-r
Faye looked at Severin and said, "I didn't expect that the South County's governor would be so young too, much less refine such powerful pills. You have my sincerest admiration. I had been curious to know what sort of person the South County governor might be!"Severin smiled slightly after hearing that and said, "You're too kind, Madam Faye. I've heard people say that you're a beautiful woman, but I am completely taken aback by how gorgeous you are in person!""What a sweet-talker you are, Mister Severin." Faye smiled and felt very grateful nonetheless.As time passed, more and more people from upper-class families or city mansions arrived at the venue."The esteemed war god, Mister Calum, has arrived!" A servant announced excitedly.Calum then entered from the gate and walked toward the waiting lounge.The four war gods were all very busy people, so the chances of them attending the birthday banquet were very low. However, one of them had shown up, and those from the province m
Everyone else looked over too, and they all saw a gray-haired old man rushing over there in a hurry.He was tall, and there were several people behind him. Anyone who laid eyes on him could sense his aura of superiority."It's the Skydra Province's governor! He's here!" Someone exclaimed. "He's a very strong man, and his attainment is the same as Skystream Province's governor. They're both level nine warrior kings!"Those who were able to become province governors were undoubtedly very strong."Haha, it's already very lively!" the old man said with a smile after walking over. Then, he turned to Calum and greeted him, "Calum! I thought you wouldn't be here! You're slightly further away from here than I am, and I'm surprised you arrived before me.""It's been a few months since we last saw each other, right? Let's have a couple of drinks later! Haha!" Calum laughed, and his good relationship with the old man was very evident."Of course, of course!" Seymour said with a smile.Foll
"Hehe, sorry about that, Mister Fonzo! I almost forgot about it after chatting with them. It's been about ten minutes now, right? You should be able to stand up already. However, you're probably not used to it yet, and you haven't completely recovered either, so you'll still have to use crutches for the time being to prevent yourself from falling." Severin chuckled and then said to Fonzo.Fonzo nodded and stood up with the help of his cane. When he tried stretching that leg, he discovered that he could feel his leg and move it freely even though it used to be very stiff."Do you see that, Mae-Lynne? I can move it now! I'm able to move my leg at last!" Fonzo tried to take a step forward, and although he was still not used to it and had a stride that was different from ordinary people, he was genuinely capable of taking a step with that leg."I see it, Dad! I see it! It's healing! Mister Severin is a true miracle doctor!" Mae-Lynne was excited, and her eyes turned red as tears began t
