Zephyr continued on with his self-imposed hell-like training. Although he pushed himself harder and harder, he did not seem to be suffering from it. In fact, he seemed to be immersed in the powerful feeling of mastery. He took out an elixir from his Loot ring and consumed it. Instantly, the elixir refilled his true energy and he carried on with his training once again. He wanted to keep hold of this feeling as long as he could, for he was afraid he would forget the feeling. Not only that, he wanted to ensure that the state of staying immovable while flowing with the wind would end up becoming second nature to him. He trained until he had forgotten what day it was. The whole mountain range flashed with this boundless, unparalleled bladed energy. Everywhere within a radius of 100 yards was inevitably enveloped by golden light as the holy and sharp aura of the bladed energy landed on its target. Anyone would have to turn their eyes away to not be blinded by the lights. He only rested
However, before he left, he stared one last time towards Zephyr’s direction with eyes that showed mixed feelings.“Brother Maxim, this kid is really like Douglas huh…” said Dewey with a smile when he caught the look in Maxim’s eyes. “Hmph! As if! He’s way worse than him!” Then, as if wanting to forget everything in the past, he quickly disappeared from where he stood.“Really? Zephyr’s talent might be weaker than Douglas’s but even Douglas did not attain this kind of power at Zephyr’s age. Brother Maxim, have you really not let go yet?” muttered Dewey to himself as he stared at Maxim’s retreating figure.Zephyr’s bladed energy not only attracted the attention of those in the Supreme Peak, but also those from the other peaks. “Interesting, very interesting,” said Lucia Pearson of the Oriental Peak with a smile on her face. She then proceeded to close her eyes again.Brother Albert of the Spiritime Peak snapped his eyes open in astonishment. “What powerful bladed energy! That kid
In no time at all, Zephyr finally found the Medicinal Hall after being pointed in the right direction. The entire building was as majestic as the elixir-furnace and one could immediately smell a thick medicinal fragrance as soon as one stepped into the area near the building.This was not the first time Zephyr had come across this type of fragrant and a faint smile broke out of his face when he reminisced over the scent. Only those who had broken through to the Agility level were allowed to step into the Medicinal Hall and all of them unquestionably held the position of an initiate. It goes without saying that apprentices were not allowed to step foot inside the building. The Medicinal Hall was incredibly huge and the air was filled with the delicious fragrant of elixir refining. From time to time, there would be initiates placing the elixir bottles on top of a jade plate, and there was a lot of to-ing and fro-ing of the other staff that worked there. Also, one could not disregard t
The temperature of the elixir flames had been expertly controlled and anything less than that, the making of the elixir would be unsuccessful. Currently, a silver-haired old man was sitting in a cross-legged position in front of an elixir-furnace with green flames. His eyes slightly squinted and sweat poured off his face from the immense concentration. He was performing hand seals non-stop to infuse his true energy into the elixir-furnace.The elixir-furnace looked quaint and measured about half a yard, making it much smaller than all the other elixir-furnaces in the room. However, the starkest difference between this elixir-furnace and the others were the ancient patterns that were etched all around it. These patterns glowed brightly as if it was being fed by the green flames. It was evident that this elixir-furnace was not ordinary at all. The old man increased his speed of performing the hand seals and the green flame climbed to a height of seven feet, nearly enveloping the elixi
“Die, you brat!” Edgar’s true energy swirled around him like a python and it seemed as though it could explode any moment. His fury was visible for all to see. He could not believe that he — the best of the best elixir makers in the whole of The Boundless Academy — was being schooled by a brat who looked to be 15 or 16 years old. Were others to know this, he would never be able to live this down. The look in his eyes became more terrifying when he thought back to how Zephyr had interrupted him. “Huh! You still want to kill me? Phoenix grass, purple moonflower, white tiger root, mystery wild fruit, evergreen leaf, thousand year green-lotus…” Zephyr slowly listed out the ingredients, and with each name Edgar’s expression began to alter.He was intimately familiar with those ingredient names. These items were all that he had been thinking about, for each of those expensive ingredients were exactly what went into the making of the tier-six dark-dragon elixir.Apart from the technique u
“I could tell even just from a whiff of it…” said Zephyr honestly.“Just by the smell of it?” Edgar was completely floored by his answer. ‘What kind of monster is he?’ he thought. Even he, with his decades of experience, could not say with confidence where someone went wrong with making elixirs just by the smell of it. However, Zephyr had clearly pointed out his mistake. This alone was enough to prove he was the real deal. “Are you really a teenager?” he asked. The more he looked at Zephyr, the more he thought that Zephyr was a little monster.“Yes, of course!” said Zephyr. After getting the answer from him, Edgar could not be bothered with him anymore and began making the dark-dragon elixir again. Looking at how serious he was, Zephyr could not bear to disturb him anymore and so spent his time recalling all the events that led him there.‘The initiate who pointed me here… There’s definitely something fishy about him!’ thought Zephyr. According to what Edgar had said about his
Bursts of divine light flowed continuously in the furnace and a thick but not-overly strong medicinal aroma began to fill the air as five aquamarine elixirs slowly floated up from the furnace. Dragon-scaled patterns surround the elixirs. This made it look like a real dragon when the elixirs flickered, it seemed to be breathing out smoke. Coupling all this with the hint of dragon power emitted, the elixirs looked even more like a lifelike dragon. There was no doubt about what the both of them saw in front of their eyes; successfully made dark-dragon elixirs.“It’s finished!” said Edgar in a trembling voice when he saw the museum-worthy elixirs. The fact that he successfully made a tier-six elixir meant that his level in elixir-making had reached a new height.Suddenly, a movement caught Edgar’s attention. He turned back and was instantly shocked by his sight, for Zephyr had seemingly gathered random ingredients with no thought about the order they should go into the furnace.“Hey k
Judging by Zephyr’s practiced movement, it was obvious he had been using these techniques for a long time.“How is all of this possible? How is all of this possible at all?” Edgar kept on muttering to himself. The shock expression had never left his face once. It was already rare enough for an Elixir Grandmaster to be proficient in one of the techniques, but for a young person like Zephyr to be proficient in four? That was unheard of! “Don’t tell me he knows how to use the fire emperor nine-sun technique as well!” Both wood emperor green technique and fire emperor nine-sun technique are the most important amongst the five techniques. Between the two, the fire emperor nine-sun technique was the most superior for it was able to make the elixir flame more terrifying and pure while the former technique would help refine it. Edgar had seen the four techniques before and had become so astounded by it. What he was looking forward to was the fire emperor nine-sun technique. Zephyr did n
