“What will we do with Grandpa’s injury if we don’t have the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill?”
...
The expressions of the youngsters changed. However, they could only speak through voice transmission as this was a grandmaster.
Grandmaster Kirton was the one who had dropped the dan prescription of the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill.
The middle-aged man standing in front got anxious. “Grandmaster Kirton, did you fail for all five sets of ingredients?”
“Yes.” Grandmaster Kirton felt a little awkward. “There’s always a failure rate. I’ve found the feeling though. Give a few more sets, and I’ll definitely succeed.”
The middle-aged man sighed in his heart. However, he couldn’t reprimand him. He hesitated before saying, “You’re right. However, you know that the ingredients for this dan are hard to find. It took a lot of effort to get the five sets.”
“Don’t worry, there should be a few ingredients left in the alliance. I think I should be able to use them with my status,” Grandmaster Kirton said with an embarrassed smile.
“I’ll have to trouble you then. I’ll repay you later. My family will bear the cost of the ingredients,” the middle-aged man promised hurriedly as his eyes lit up.
“It’s nothing. The main thing is the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill. I’ll fulfill my promise to you.” Grandmaster Kirton waved his hand.
He contacted the staff in the alliance, wanting to get the sets of Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill ingredients.
But soon, his face turned black.
“Grandmaster Kirton, what’s the matter?” The middle-aged man knew that sothing was wrong when he saw his expression.
“Soone took the ingredients just now,” Grandmaster Kirton said helplessly.
“Huh? Who is it? Is it too late to get them back? The Ji family is willing to pay any price,” the middle-aged man said hurriedly.
“Grandmaster Hua Yuan took it. There’s a grandmaster-level assessnt today, and the candidate knows how to refine the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill. Let’s take a look. We might be able to stop him. One can make other dans for the grandmaster-level assessnt. There’s no need to make it complicated,” Grandmaster Kirton said as he rushed toward the assessnt room.
The middle-aged man and the others followed him.
...
Grandmaster Alfred and the other grandmasters were waiting outside the room. It was quite a magnificent scene to see a whole group of grandmasters gathered in one place.
“Do you think Grandmaster Wang Teng will pass the alchemy assessnt?” a grandmaster asked uncontrollably.
Despite being in the audience, they felt even more nervous than Wang Teng.
“I think so!” Alfred pondered before replying.
“Grandmaster Alfred looks very confident in Grandmaster Wang Teng,” a grandmaster smiled and said.
“Hahaha, if you saw his assessnt, you’d think the sa way,” Grandmaster Alfred said.
The other two rune grandmasters nodded in agreent.
The grandmaster blacksmiths were surprised by their reaction. They were the only ones who hadn’t seen Wang Teng’s assessnt, so they were filled with curiosity.
While they were discussing, Grandmaster Kirton charged over fiercely with a bunch of people. Seeing the situation outside the room, they were stunned.
“What’s the matter? Why are there so many grandmasters here?” Grandmaster Kirton was dumbfounded.
“Grandmaster Kirton, what are you doing?” Grandmaster Alfred got up and asked.
Grandmaster Kirton rembered the purpose of his visit and replied hurriedly, “Grandmaster Alfred, is Grandmaster Hua Yuan holding the assessnt for the candidate now?”
“Indeed. You know about this too?”
“Of course, I know. Did they take the ingredients for the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill?” Grandmaster Kirton wanted to barge in as he spoke.
“Wait, what are you doing?” Grandmaster Alfred’s expression changed, stopping him furiously.
“Grandmaster Kirton, you can’t go in.”
“There’s soone taking the grandmaster assessnt inside. You will offend him if you enter now.”
“That’s right. This assessnt is very important. You can’t go in.”
...
The other grandmasters ran over hurriedly and stood in Grandmaster Kirton’s path.
“What are you guys doing?” Grandmaster Kirton’s expression changed. He didn’t expect so many grandmasters to co and stop him.
He wondered who the person inside was. How could he have such power?
Grandmaster Kirton recalled the Ji family. If he could make the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill, he could gain a favor from them, benefitting him greatly.
He decided to take the risk and said, “I have an ergency use for the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill. I’ll explain to the candidate and apologize to him.”
“No, this candidate is different. We can’t offend him,” Grandmaster Alfred said.
The other grandmasters nodded fervently. They agreed with Grandmaster Alfred’s decision.
This was a triple-grandmaster candidate. His significance to the alliance was different. Even if the probability was low, they mustn’t take the risk.
Grandmaster Kirton didn’t think that these grandmasters would still stop him after he repeated his request. His heart dropped.
Did this candidate have such a powerful background? Why were these grandmasters helping him?
“Grandmasters, can’t you give the Ji family so leeway? The Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill is extrely important to us.” A middle-aged man stepped out from behind Grandmaster Kirton and cupped his fists at the grandmasters.
“The Ji family!” The grandmasters’ expressions changed.
“Is it one of the eight dukes, Duke Xukong’s Ji family?” Alfred took a deep breath and asked.
“Not bad!” the middle-aged man replied proudly.
Alfred exchanged glances with the other grandmasters. In the end, he shook his head and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, we still can’t permit you to enter.”
The middle-aged man’s expression turned black. Even though he had used the Ji family’s na, these grandmasters were still unwilling to give him face.
Were they looking down on them?
“Grandmaster Alfred, who’s the person inside?” asked Grandmaster Kirton.
Alfred read his expression and explained, “The candidate inside might be a triple-grandmaster. We don’t want to offend the Ji family, but this potential triple-grandmaster title is extrely important to our alliance. We’re really sorry!”
“Triple-grandmaster!” Grandmaster Kirton was shocked.
He finally understood why Grandmaster Alfred and the others stopped him. If he offended the other party, he might have to cut ties with these grandmasters.
A triple-grandmaster was too important for the alliance. He wouldn’t want to get on the bad side of this genius either.
The middle-aged man’s expression changed. Naturally, he understood what this triple-grandmaster title ant. No wonder the grandmasters treated him as such even after learning he was from the Ji family. It was understandable.
The middle-aged man sighed uncontrollably. He couldn’t enter forcefully since he didn’t want to offend all these grandmasters. Shaking his head, he said, “I understand, I’m the reckless one.”
“Actually, you don’t have to be disappointed. What if he succeeds?” Alfred smiled and said.
“Oh right!” The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up.
“It’s just an assessnt. He might not need the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill. You can buy it from him,” Alfred said.
“Hahaha, indeed. Thank you for reminding ,” the middle-aged man laughed and said.
Grandmaster Kirton couldn’t bear to douse his happiness when he saw the smile on the man’s face.
He had refined the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill before, so he knew how difficult the process was. The person inside might not succeed.
