Sandra's eyebrows shot up at the enigmatic expression on Darryl's face, but she refrained from asking too many questions and hastily stowed the box before following him.The entire way, Darryl walked ahead while taking in the view before him with an expression of ease.Sandra held the box behind him. Her expression was nothing but sour and worried. The two made for a sharp contrast.Quickly enough, they reached the first floor of the Pill Tower."Sect Master!"Sofia was in the middle of talking to someone, and her face lit up at the sight of Darryl returning as she rushed forward to welcome him. "You're back."As she spoke, Sofia looked warily behind herself.A breathtaking figure with exquisite features sat on the chair inside. It was Gigi, whom Darryl had met at the hot spring the previous day.The Pill Tower had strict rules, and no one could enter without permission— not even the Palace Master, let alone Gigi.However, Sofia and Gigi were good friends. Gigi was closer than
Gigi's face quickly lost any sign of arrogance as she grinned affectionately and spoke. Gigi and Sandra became close friends after Gigi met Sandra while traveling the world two years prior.Gigi had only intended to check out the new pill-making rooms when she visited the Pill Tower. She never thought she would bump into Sandra."Sister Gigi…"At the sight of Gigi, Sandra was delighted as well. She strode over quickly, clasping Gigi's hands in her own. Sandra had been feeling pretty down just before that, but her mood instantly brightened at the sight of Gigi.F*ck me...Darryl scratched his head. What was happening? How were those two women so close?Gigi had utterly forgotten that Darryl was there. It was as if she had just run into a family member. She sat Sandra down on a chair and began to chat with her.A thought seemed to come to Gigi a while later as she smiled at Sandra. "I heard the Heavenly Dragon Sect found some pills and sent some people here today to have them chec
Quickly enough, they reached the pill-making room.Darryl retrieved a pill from the box, smiling at Sandra as he asked, "Did your master tell you what those pills were or what they were used for before you came here?"Sandra gave it some thought and said, "My master said they were the Black Power Pills. It could double one's power within an hour of consumption."'Yes!'Darryl nodded. The Black Power Pill was known as the Divine Power Pill in the Nine Mainland. Both had the same effect and probably had similar formulas to make them as well.Darryl turned to address Sofia. "Get me a few ingredients and herbs, Sofia."As he spoke, Darryl listed out the things he needed in detail."Alright, Sect Master!"Sofia grinned before rushing off to prepare them.What…Sandra and Gigi stopped short. They seemed to realize something, and their gazes shone with shock.Did he want to make those pills on the spot?Amidst her shock, Gigi asked, "Are you going to make the pills? The pills in t
Sandra, who was at the side, trembled. 'He really knows how to produce elixir? That's not right. Isn't he just a gambler? At most, he knew a little medical skill. How could he know the prescription to a long-lost elixir?'"You—" Finally, Gigi regained her senses. She could not help but ask Darryl, "What elixir are you producing?"Even though Darryl looked skillful, he was way too relaxed. He smiled and pointed at the elixir in Sandra's hand. "A Black Power Pill. I already told you, the ones she had are all useless. I'm producing one right now to show you the real thing."'Bullsh*t!' Gigi's lips twitched when she saw Darryl's confidence.Just then, a loud vibration sounded from the elixir cauldron. Gigi and Sandra were so started that they took a step back. They thought the elixir cauldron was about to explode.Sofia giggled as she observed their reactions. "There is nothing to be concerned about, Gigi. That's the air pressure reaction caused by the elixir cauldron's high temperatu
Gigi stomped her feet anxiously as Sandra swallowed the Black Power Pill. Since there was nothing else she could do, she just had to wait for the effect.Sofia was anticipating it as well. On the contrary, Darryl was just standing there, looking very relaxed. Five minutes went by very quickly. Gigi could not wait any longer. She was certain that the elixir Darryl produced was a fake. However, Sandra suddenly looked very excited."Gigi!" Sandra grabbed Gigi's hand excitingly. She was almost screaming in joy. "The elixir works! My power had increased by a level. It really is the Black Power Pill."Due to her excitement, her voice trembled, and her face blushed. She looked so alluring.'It works?' Gigi was stunned to see how excited Sandra was. She could feel that Sandra's internal energy was stronger, and Sandra was more energetic. She thought that Darryl was fooling them by simply producing two elixirs. She could not believe that Darryl had produced the Black Power Pill, and he ha
It was not a big deal at all, producing all those elixirs for Sandra. The most important thing to Darryl was to quickly dismiss all of them so he could head to the second floor to absorb the Heavenly Marrow Golden Elixir.'Excuse me?' Gigi and Sandra looked at each other in shock. 'Too little? Is he even human?'By then, Sofia had recovered and sprinted to prepare the medicinal herbs. After more than ten minutes, she returned with a few bags of herbs.Darryl gave Sofia the approval to light each elixir cauldron. As the ten elixir cauldrons' fire burned simultaneously, the temperature in the room rose dramatically.At that moment, Darryl was still looking very relaxed, but his hands were moving faster as he picked out the medicinal herbs and distributed them between the ten elixir cauldrons. He looked relaxed as he controlled the fire. It was like he was playing instead of producing elixirs.Sandra had brought more than 20 elixirs. With the ten elixir cauldrons, Darryl could produc
"You—" It was only after a few seconds that Gigi regained her senses. She stomped her feet. Her cheeks were blushed. "I don't have any special connection to you!" After that, she ran off like a spooked bunny.Darryl was surprised to see such a reaction from Gigi. He smiled as he was pleased with himself. 'What a pleasant surprise to see the arrogant Gigi becoming so shy.' With that thought in mind, Darryl slowly walked to the lobby to brew himself a cup of tea. Then he relaxed and enjoyed the tea."Sect Master!" Sofia had returned after sending Sandra off. She hopped toward Darryl happily. "Sect Master, you were so brilliant just now! Ten elixir cauldrons at once. I couldn't believe my own eyes." Then she looked at Darryl with anticipation. "Sect Master, how did you do it? Can you teach me?"Darryl smiled. "With your current skills, it would be hard to master two elixir cauldrons. So ten is impossible. Besides, you need to learn the elixir production skills step by step. There is no
"Your Majesty" Just then, Forsythe strode into the hall and spoke respectfully, "All hail to the Empress. I have successfully established the Bloody Fiend Sect at the Nine Mainland."Morticia was pleased to hear it. Her perfect face had a smile. "Good job, Forsythe. You have worked hard." Then, she was ready to ask the maid to present the reward to him.However, Forsythe simply stood there without any emotion. He said embarrassingly, "Your Majesty, there's something I… I have brought shame to you."'Huh? What's going on?' Morticia was stunned, and the leaders were frowning. As Morticia finally responded, she smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Just say it. I won't blame you." She always treated Forsythe as her right-hand man. Even if he did something embarrassing, she would not reprimand him.Forsythe took a deep breath and lowered his head as he said, "A day ago, I met a weird person in Donghai City. He was so powerful that he defeated me and forced me to bring him back here to Drago
