Ch. 1721..1730
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1721
Holly Yates had never attended a school. Since this was the first time she enrolled in an academy, she found it strange.
She lay on the dormitory’s bed while holding the bottle containing the Spiritual Demon Pills in her arms, with her legs crossed and shaking… She thought about the Sword Cultivator instructor who had taken her in as his disciple, Jason Moss.
She had heard of this person before. He was known to be a very powerful man.
She also heard that he had a strong backing, Anyway, it was bigger than the backing of the Mountain Warriors. When she was young, her mother had personally taken her to visit Jason, wanting Holly to be accepted as his disciple. In the end, the man had taken one glance at her and refused her, stating that it wasn’t appropriate. However, she knew he meant that she had poor aptitude and was not worthy of being his disciple.
But this time, she had caught Jason’s eyes in just one glance.
It was too strange.
Then, she thought about what her brother had helped her do before coming to the Flying Eagles Academy.
Alex had planted a talisman in her energy core, saying that it was an ancient talisman. The symbols on the talisman had a meaning of ‘sword’. In other words, it was a sword talisman.
Holly recalled Alex said that when she could incorporate the sword talisman into her Sword Intent, then this talisman would be considered to have done its work. She could guess that this was probably the reason why she had caught Jason’s eyes all of a sudden!
In fact, Alex had heard of this method from Yuno. It was Yuno who had taught him this Sword Raising Tactic. Yuno was an undisputed predecessor in the practice of martial arts.
Bang!
At this moment, someone ran inside after slamming open the dormitory door.
Holly sat up at once. She had seen the arriving person before, it was Jason’s other disciple whose name seemed to be Frazer.
Frazer started shouting the moment he came in, “Holly Yates, why are you still here? Don’t you know that Master is fighting the Fairy Doctor outside for your sake? Master is within an inch of his life while getting beaten by the Fairy Doctor. Why don’t you hurry and help him?”
“Huh?” Holly was stunned.
How could a strong person like Jason get beaten up by someone else?
“Isn’t he the strongest Sword Cultivator in the Flying Eagles Academy? The Fairy Doctor is just a woman who plays around with pills, yet she can still beat him?”
Frazer said, “What do you know? There are no more than three people in the entire Flying Eagles Academy that can beat the Fairy Doctor. It’s still unknown who would win in the end! Hurry and come with me, the Fairy Doctor is here because of you. If you don’t go, Master will be the one to suffer.”
Holly was shocked. “The Fairy Doctor is here because of me? Could it be that it’s because…”
She looked at the Spiritual Demon Pills in the bottle and thought, ‘This Fairy Doctor is just too shameless. She’s probably here because of my brother’s Spiritual Demon Pills. Brother is not here, I have to protect them.’
When she just stuffed the bottle into her bed, Frazer grabbed her hand and ran outside. Very soon, they came upon the scene outside.
More than a dozen houses had been torn apart, especially the entire teaching building on the left side that had collapsed. Countless people were still watching the fight. All the way there, Holly could hear a lot of people discussing…
“Oh my god, has the Fairy Doctor gone mad? She’s gone to this length just for the sake of a new student. These broken buildings will cost a lot of money to repair.”
“You’re really worried for nothing. Do you think the Fairy Doctor will lack the money? She’s the richest instructor in the entire Flying Eagles Academy. Plus, with the relationship between her and Principal Henderson, she probably would be fine even if she tears down half the academy.”
“Huh? What is the relationship between the Fairy Doctor and Principal Henderson?”
It was a freshman who asked this question.
The previous person who spoke said, “You’re new here, aren’t you? The Fairy Doctor is Principal Henderson’s godsister.”
At this moment, the battle had reached its last stage.
The Fairy Doctor became ruthless. With a clear call, an exquisite seven-story pagoda appeared behind her, surrounding Jason overhead. “Jason Moss, will you really not give in? If you continue to be stubborn, I really will seal you into the Demon Tower Prison. When you want to come out later, you will suffer a huge loss!”
Jason was unable to endure it anymore.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1722
As soon as the Demon Tower Prison made an appearance, Jason coughed up mouthfuls of blood over and over.
Jane, who was standing at the side, watched the scene in shock, with her mouth agape. How obsessed was her Master? What was so great about the new student, for her to take action to this extent? If Jason was really sealed into the Demon Tower Prison, the academy would definitely hold the Fairy Doctor accountable.
There were rules in the academy. Even if she was Principle Henderson’s godsister, she could not ignore them.
As for the onlookers, there was only shock left in them.
“The Fairy Doctor is that strong?”
“It’s just a phantom of the Demon Tower Prison, yet it already makes my heart palpitate from such a distance. I can’t even stand up straight. If it’s nearer, wouldn’t the pressure crush me to death?”
“If the Fairy Doctor is already this strong, then how overpowering is Principal Henderson?”
Someone said, “It’s impossible for you if you want to see Principal Henderson now. Principal Henderson and Principal Lawlor had taken a group of extreme elites to pass through Rashomon and have entered the Dragon King’s Grotto. They could only return after six months at least.”
At this time, Frazer had arrived with Holly.
Frazer shouted, “Fairy Doctor, I’ve brought you the person you wanted, let my master go.”
When everyone heard that, their eyes fell on Holly.
“So, that’s the person the Fairy Doctor wanted.”
“She’s pretty cute.”
“She must be extremely talented. Otherwise, why would two instructors fight over her? This little girl is destined to be a big shot in the Flying Eagles in the future!”
Jane rushed over immediately. She glanced at Holly, yet she thought, ‘This brat doesn’t look anything great! She looks ordinary, and there isn’t a hint of alchemist aura on her. How did she catch the instructor’s eyes?’
Then, she said, “What’s the matter with you? My instructor has requested you to be her disciple, because she thought highly of you. The instructor has been waiting for you the entire day. Oh great, you actually entered another department and became someone else’s disciple. Do you not have any respect for my instructor, the Fairy Doctor?”
Holly had her mouth agape. Only then did she understand what was going on.
It turned out that these people were looking for her brother!
Swoosh!
The Fairy Doctor came in front of her like a flash of lightning.
After taking a glance at Holly, she said with a frown, “It’s not her!”
At this moment, Jason also rushed over, intending to protect Holly. When he heard that, he almost threw up another mouthful of blood in rage. “Fairy Doctor, you didn’t even confirm the person you were looking for, yet you’ve fought me here for half a day, destroying so many buildings?! When this matter gets reported to the higher-ups, you…”
“Ten Strengthening Gold Pills,” the Fairy Doctor said.
“Deal!” Jason stopped talking immediately.
It was awesome to be rich and overbearing!
The Fairy Doctor suddenly recalled who Holly was, so she anxiously asked, “The person I’m looking for is your brother, where is he? I told him to report to my office today, why didn’t I even see a hint of his shadow?”
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Who was this girl’s brother?
How awesome was he?! The Fairy Doctor personally accepted him as her disciple, yet he didn’t turn up?!
Holly didn’t like the Fairy Doctor. Not only had she harmed Holly’s master, but her attitude was bad too. She said, “My brother said that he won’t go to the Elixir Department.”
“Why? Where did he go?”
“Because he said, there isn’t a true alchemist in the Flying Eagles Academy. You can’t teach him anything!”
“Woahh!”
There was an uproar in the audience. Everyone was dumbfounded. This boast was just too big.
This new student really was formidable for belittling the entire Elixir Department of the Flying Eagles Academy.
Jane abruptly raised her hand. “B*tch, how preposterous!”
At this moment, a blade crackling with lightning came up at Jane’s neck, and a voice said out of thin air, “If you dare to touch her, you’ll be dead!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1723
The blade was the Sword of the Universe.
However, it was different from the Sword of the Universe that Alex had used previously. At this moment, an ancient and vague aura that faintly coincided with the rules of the world was radiating from the sword, and it held the Sword Intent.
This was what Alex had obtained from within the Star Formation Board.
After comprehending the various changes in the formation blueprint of the Sword of Universe, the power of the Sword of Universe had also increased greatly. There were thirty-six changes. They were not thirty-six kinds of techniques, but thirty-six times the sword stances coupled with the Sword Raising Tactic that Yuno had taught him.
There was an ancient tune on the sword.
So, when the Sword of the Universe was at her neck, Jane felt the overwhelming Sword Intent and chills all over her body. She felt her legs were trembling, and she was about to pee herself in fright. She looked towards the Fairy Doctor in panic and said, “Instructor, help me!”
The Fairy Doctor did not move.
Instead, she looked into the darkness, where a tall figure stepped out slowly. It was Alex, the one she had been waiting for so long.
At the same time, when Jason saw the Sword of the Universe, his eyes changed drastically.
“Sword Intent Edict!”
The Sword Intent Edict on this flying sword kept constantly fluctuating. This was exactly what he had been looking for for so long! He had learned swordsmanship for more than forty years, and had cultivated the sword for thirty years, but he still failed to comprehend the Sword Intent Edict.
It was something that was only recorded in the ancient books.
Jason thought it was a myth. To his surprise, it was real.
At this moment, he felt an upsurge of emotion as tears filled his eyes, as though he was seeing the childhood dream that he had been chasing in his life.
He suddenly rushed towards Alex and kneeled onto the ground with a thud “ Please accept me as your disciple!”
“Huh?”
“Oh my god!”
The onlookers exclaimed one after another, and their eyes popped out of their heads. This was too astonishing. Had Jason gone out of his mind? As the strongest Sword Cultivator in the Flying Eagles Academy, he was actually kneeling in front of a new student in public, begging to be his disciple?!
Especially Jason’s students, all of them felt pain as though they had been slapped in the face.
The Fairy Doctor looked at him in disbelief as well.
Alex frowned, sparing Jason a glance before walking around him immediately towards Holly’s side. He shot a cold glare at Jane.
“Are you alright?” His tone was warm.
“Brother!” Holly hugged Alex. “T-They were fighting for you. That’s my master, h-he…”
Before Holly could finish talking, the Fairy Doctor walked up to him. “I’ve been waiting for you in my office the entire day, why didn’t you come? I already said that I’ll take you in as my disciple!”
Alex put away the Sword of the Universe. “Sorry, I’m not going to enroll into the Elixir Department.”
Jane hurriedly hid behind the Fairy Doctor. She gave Alex a fierce glare and said in a stern voice, “Did you say that there were no real alchemists in the entire academy? You’re looking down on my instructor and antagonising the entire Elixir Department! What right do you have? What qualifications do you have?”
The Fairy Doctor also had a cold expression on her face. Her beautiful eyes were clearly angry.
The greatest achievement in her life was in alchemy. Regardless of the Flying Eagles or even the entire country, she felt that her alchemy level was top-notch. It was even the highest level.
That was because she had not heard of anyone who had better alchemy skills than her.
Some of the ancient sects even needed to come beg her for her alchemy skills!
The Fairy Doctor’s glare at Alex made him feel a little pressure. But, it didn’t mean that he had to learn alchemy from her just because she was good at fighting, because…
“Sorry, your instructor really can’t teach me anything!”
Alex had just mentioned it casually to Holly and Yuno before this. It was more of a brag than anything else.
However, he didn’t expect Holly to take it seriously. Not only that, she had also said it out loud in public. That was fine, since she had said it, then he would just admit it.
He could handle it for the sake of his sister, Holly.
As soon as Alex said that, everyone’s expression changed again.
The Fairy Doctor’s eyes rippled with fury.
How dare he doubt her alchemy skills?!
Outrageous!
“I need a reason!” She said coldly. “Why do you think I can’t teach you anything? I, the Fairy Doctor, have never taken back any words I have said. If you can’t convince me, then you have to be my disciple, even if I need to tie you up and take you!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1724
Alex let out a sigh. He really didn‘t want to go against the Fairy Doctor.
“Because, when it comes to alchemy, I am better than you!”
Thump!
Someone fell on their butts, shocked.
‘What an awesome new student! You really knock off everyone‘s feet by uttering such outrageous words. How dare you say that the Fairy Doctor’s alchemy is inferior to yours. You’re boasting too much! Aren’t you afraid that the Fairy Doctor would kill you?!’
“Good, very good!” The Fairy Doctor was furious.
She was seething to the point that she was about to throw up blood.
Originally, she was really optimistic about this new student for being able to increase the purity of the Spiritual Demon Pill to 80% and above. That was already a rare thing, and this required talents! She needed to be extremely cautious if she wanted to do this on her own. Sometimes it would drop below 80% if she wasn’t careful. That’s why she needed a disciple.
But now, she was furious and just wanted to teach this new student a lesson.
Her voice was delicate as she said, “I’ll compete with you!”
Alex’s eyebrows twitched. “In alchemy?”
“That’s right!”
As soon as the statement came out, someone wailed loudly again.
Jane said, “Instructor, competing with this bragging freshman in alchemy would simply lower your status! I’m willing to compete with him on your behalf!”
Alex gave Jane a passing glance before sneering, “You? Forget it, that’s just a waste of time.”
Jane was furious. “What did you say? I think you’re just a troublemaker for trying to insult the Fairy Doctor this way. Tell me, what is your intention? Who sent you here?”
She almost peed her pants when Alex pointed the flying sword at her neck just now.
There was already an intent to kill him in her heart.
“Your energy core is mutated, and you can’t even condense the Elixir Fire. How can you even compete with me in alchemy?”
As soon as Alex said that, Jane’s face became pale.
Indeed, her energy core was different from normal cores, and it was a problem that existed when she developed her energy core. It was a permanent mutation. Although it would not affect her cultivation, it was impossible to condense the Elixir Fire to concoct pills!
This was also the biggest reason why the Fairy Doctor had not taken her in as her disciple.
However, using the Elixir Fire in alchemy was a height that only level six alchemists could reach. Alex was so young, and he was already a level six alchemist?
Jane wouldn’t believe it at all.
At this time, the Fairy Doctor said, “Jane, back down.”
Then, she turned to Alex and said, “It’ll be between you and me!”
“How do you want to do this?” Alex asked.
The Fairy Doctor said, “We’ll do the simplest one, lest others say that I am bullying you! We’ll concoct the first grade pill, Blood Energy Pill, and we’ll compare the purity of the pills.”
Alex was taken aback, and found the situation hilarious. He had already refined countless Blood Energy Pills, and their purity was directly 100%.
The purity of the Spiritual Demon Pills earlier was 80% because he didn’t have enough materials for pill concoction. He had used some other raw materials as substitutes. If the Fairy Doctor knew about this fact, she would have doubted her entire life.
Even the materials could be substituted?!
“Instructor Fairy Doctor, may we watch the two of you compete?”
The one who spoke was Flynn Newell.
The Fairy Doctor said, “Of course there’s no problem, lest he refuse to admit his loss later and say that I, the Fairy Doctor, use my powers and authority to silence others! But, mark my words, if you lose, you shall become my errand boy!”
“And if you lose?” Alex asked.
The Fairy Doctor said, “I won’t lose! If I lose, the conditions will be up to you.”
Alex nodded. “Alright, if you lose, you’ll wash my clothes.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1725
“What?!”
“H-He dared to make such an outrageous request?!”
“Asking the Fairy Doctor to wash his clothes? Where does his boldness come from?”
Upon hearing it, the people nearby were stunned and felt that it was extremely absurd. They looked at Alex as though they were looking at some crazed lunatic!
The saying that ‘Whom the gods would destroy, he first makes mad’ applied to him right here!
The Fairy Doctor’s eyes were cold as she was already thinking about how she would punish this disobedient brat. Only Holly, who stood beside Alex, had a faint smile on her face. Back then, she had made a bet with Alex that she would become a security guard at Lush Cosmetics if she lost. In the end, Holly had become the security guard till now.
Now, Holly thought that the Fairy Doctor would most likely meet the same end as her.
Jane jumped out again. “You’re so arrogant for asking my instructor to wash your clothes. Are you even worthy of that?”
Alex said, “If you don’t dare to bet, then forget it. Don’t ever come looking for me in the future.”
That sentence made Jane speechless.
The Fairy Doctor said, “Fine, I’ll take that bet! Let’s go to the Elixir Tower!”
The Elixir Tower was a special building in the Flying Eagles Academy that was specially designed for alchemy. It had nine floors in total, where each floor corresponded to the alchemy’s level. Rumor had it that even the Fairy Doctor couldn’t enter the top few floors.
The Elixir Tower had existed for over thousands of years.
The two principals moved the structure here when the Flying Eagles Academy was being built.
When the group of people was about to move towards the Elixir Tower, Holly grabbed Alex and pointed at Jason Moss who was still kneeling on the ground and said, “Brother, this is my new master. What should I do now?”
Alex frowned and walked over. “Instructor, please get up. I can’t be your master, I’m not a Sword Cultivator.”
Jason seemed to be in some sort of meditation trance earlier.
At this moment, he opened his eyes and said, “No, Master. You have already comprehended the Sword Intent Edict, so you can definitely be my master. This is what I have been looking for in my entire life. Please accept me as your disciple, Master. I am willing to offer my life in exchange for this.”
Everyone was shocked once again, looking at Alex with complicated expressions.
‘Is this new student trying to make a new record in the academy? Which other freshman can be this awesome to be forcibly favored by the Fairy Doctor, and have Jason Moss kneel down to beg to be his disciple? He’s way too awesome.’
The Fairy Doctor’s eyes flashed. She had also heard of the Sword Intent Edict before, and she didn’t expect for Alex to have reached this level. She remembered that her godbrother had only comprehended it the year before last.
Alex shook his head. “It’s not really considered to be the real Sword Intent Edict. It’s just that a spell formation has been added to the sword. Sorry, I really can’t teach you. I don’t understand sword techniques, and I belong to the Formation Department.”
“Huh?”
“He actually entered the most useless and deserted Formation Department? There are only five people in that department, including the instructor. What is that guy doing in there?”
“Such a strong Sword Cultivator didn’t enroll in the Combat Department? What the heck is he thinking?”
The Fairy Doctor urged, “Are we still not going?”
Alex nodded. “Let’s go!”
Jason stopped pursuing the matter, and followed them to the Elixir Tower.
When Alex arrived in front of Elixir Tower, he looked up at the nine storey tall building, and suddenly felt a huge wave of ancient essence rushing over him. His expression changed, and he knew it was a kind of elixir essence… When an alchemist’s alchemy level had reached a very high level, the concocted pills would also be spiritual in nature. Once some top-grade pills were concocted, they would trigger the rules of heaven and earth. Even the world would not be able to contain them, resulting in a catastrophe.
That was known as Elixir Calamity.
It’s possible that this Elixir Tower had been set up because of the Elixir Calamity. Over time, the tower possessed the elixir essence.
This Elixir Tower wasn’t something so simple!
He stood at the entrance of the tower and looked up for a while until someone beside him urged him, “Hurry up and go in, are you afraid now? You bragged so much just now, and even want the Fairy Doctor to wash your clothes. Now that it’s the real deal here, has your courage whitered? Seriously, you’re really something else.”
Alex was just getting a feel of the elixir essence in the area, but an idiot had disturbed him. He turned his head to see a man with a mean expression on his face. As anger rose in him, he slapped the man and sent him flying. “What nonsense do you keep blabbering about?”
The Fairy Doctor looked at Alex. The determination in taking him as her disciple became even stronger after this display.
It was because others couldn’t feel the elixir essence around the Elixir Tower, and it could only be felt by those who had a deep understanding of alchemy. So, this new student definitely had talent. He was a little arrogant, but it was something that can be changed.
She recalled when she first came to the tower, she also stared at it for a long time.
“Let’s go in!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1726
The Fairy Doctor led the way.
The space inside was surprisingly large, which wasn’t visible from the outside. Once they were inside, the atmosphere felt mysterious. According to logic, there shouldn’t be such a large space. Alex’s eyes flashed, and he understood.
It was like his storage bag.
There were certain changes within the tower, and space inside looked ten times bigger than it did on the outside. This Elixir Tower was definitely a magic weapon.
There were hundreds of alchemy furnaces inside, placed according to a certain formation and fixed to the spot. There were also fire vents underneath each furnace, just like gas stoves. The fire that spurted out of these vents was fired from the ground.
It was specifically for those who could not use Elixir Fire.
There were people in Elixir Tower, and once they saw many people coming in, they immediately came out to see what was going on. When they saw the Fairy Doctor in the lead, they all saluted immediately. As soon as they heard about the bet, several alchemists from the Elixir Department glared at Alex.
The Fairy Doctor was their alchemy goddess. How could he make fun of her so outrageously?
“Go and prepare the materials for a few portions of Blood Energy Pills!” the Fairy Doctor instructed.
Very quicldy, some people brought out the exact materials needed.
The Fairy Doctor turned to Alex and said, “Do you want to choose? See if the materials are correct?”
Alex glanced at the materials. “It’s all right.”
“Then, let’s begin,” the Fairy Doctor said. “The time limit is one hour. We will check on who has the higher purity of the refined Blood Energy Pill, and the higher one is the victor.”
“Alright!”
The Fairy Doctor was familiar with the layout of the Elixir Tower, and she picked the materials immediately and walked over to the front of an alchemy furnace. Instead of using the underground fire, she raised her hand, and blue flames appeared at her fingertips. The flames looked like they were dancing lively.
“It’s the Fairy Doctor’s Arctic Iced Fire!” someone called out. This was the Fairy Doctor’s Elixir Fire.
With a flick of her finger, the blue flame hit the bottom of the furnace, turning into a bigger fire. Then, she began to temper the materials and prepared to refine the pill.
As for Alex, he didn’t rush to do anything. He walked toward a furnace, examining it on the left and then the right.
The furnace was not that big. It was bigger than a rice cooker, but Alex found that there were also many runes engraved on the furnace to form a formation. However, it was a lot worse than the one he had back home.
Some couldn’t stand watching him anymore and started to laugh loudly.
“What the heck is he doing? It can’t be that he doesn’t know what a furnace looks like, right?”
“He doesn’t know what a furnace looks like, and he wants to compete with the Fairy Doctor? What a joke!”
At this moment, an old man snarled, “Shut up! You’re not allowed to make a ruckus inside Elixir Tower. Get out.”
“Huh?!”
The person who made the sarcastic remarks was thrown out. No one else dared to speak loudly after that.
After that, Alex also began his preparation. Instead of using Elixir Fire, he made use of the underground fire underneath the furnace. He tapped on the table, and the underground fire lit up like a stove. There was a device at the side that could be used to adjust the strength of the flame.
Jane looked on with disdain and said in a low voice, “Humph, and you laughed at me for not having Elixir Fire? You don’t have it either. Otherwise, why won’t you use it?”
Alex did indeed have Elixir Fire, and it was a lighting-based fire from The Force. However, he was just going to refine some Blood Energy Pills. Why would he need to use Elixir Fire?
That was so tiring! It was way more accessible and comfortable just to use the underground fire!
He didn’t use Elixir Fire but an elixir talisman instead. His alchemy levels had recently reached a new height, and this elixir talisman was also an ancient talisman. It would increase his alchemy result by two times with just half the effort, and coupled with his Divine Eyes and Third Eye, this was a pill he could refine with his eyes closed.
Ten minutes later, he turned off the underground fire. He glanced at the Fairy Doctor and found that she was not done yet.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1727
Alex watched how the Fairy Doctor performed her alchemy and felt that her methods were quite common.
However, she did something out of the ordinary, she often used her nose to sniff at the furnace while refining the pill. Therefore, she had removed the veil that covered her face now, and everyone had a good look at her appearance.
A beauty! A stunning beauty!
Previously, Alex had suggested that if the Fairy Doctor failed to refine the pill, she would wash his clothes.
Thinking of this, the academy students around them were filled with resentment toward Alex. Asking a beautiful fairy like her to wash clothes, he was such a sinner!
Finally, someone noticed that Alex had turned off the fire under his furnace.
“What’s going on?”
“Why is he standing still and not moving anymore? Even the fire has been extinguished. It has only been ten minutes, and he’s done refining the pill? Isn’t that a little too fast?”
One of the students from the Elixir Department who knew how to refine the pill immediately sneered. “What joke is he pulling? Even if the Blood Energy Pill is just introductory in the Elixir Department, it takes at least half an hour to refine it in the furnace. How could he be done in just ten minutes? You can’t even finish tempering the materials in that amount of time!”
However, Alex really was done with refining the pill. He took out the refined pill, placed it in the porcelain bowl next to him, and waited for it to cool down.
When Alex took out the pill from the furnace, the student who had spoken previously looked like he had just been slapped in the face.
Holly snorted coldly and said, “If you can’t refine it in ten minutes, it just proves that your alchemy level is not good. My brother is not you, and you can look for yourself that it’s done, isn’t it? You can definitely tell at a glance if you have eyes, that’s a Blood Energy Pill. Are you telling me that you fail to identify the Blood Energy Pill’s aura?”
Refining a Blood Energy Pill in ten minutes.
Forget about the students from the Elixir Department, even the instructors from the department were stunned, speechless.
The old alchemist that had tossed out the people who were loud just now frowned, then he walked to Alex and looked at him. “Have you finished refining the Blood Energy Pill?”
This was heard by the Fairy Doctor, who was still refining. She was condensing the pill, and her hands shook immediately.
“Impossible!”
“How could he have done it so quickly?”
However, she didn’t dare to look up. Now was the most critical moment in the condensing of the pill, not only did it affect the success of refining the pill, but it also affected its quality. She didn’t want to lose!
Another five minutes passed, and the Fairy Doctor had finally completed the refining of the Blood Energy Pill. It had taken her eighteen minutes, which was two minutes more than she usually did. Moreover, she was quite satisfied with the purity of this pill and had managed to reach 98% of it. This super-level performance was the most satisfying Blood Energy Pill she had ever refined.
‘Humph!’
‘You turned off the fire in ten minutes. It’s probably because the materials you used to refine have already been cooked to waste! Let’s see how you boast your way out of it this time!’
‘Let’s see how you boast your way out of it this time!’
She let out a long breath and glanced at Alex’s side. As a result, she saw the old alchemist standing next to Alex with a strange expression on his face. The old alchemist’s name was Sid Steadman, and he was a senior in the Elixir Department.
His alchemy level was also very good, second only to the Fairy Doctor in the entire Elixir Department. However, there was still quite a big gap between the two.
“Instructor Sid! Have his materials gone to waste?”
Sid shook his head.
The Fairy Doctor was taken aback. “He refined it successfully? He really refined a Blood Energy Pill in just ten minutes?”
“To be exact,” Sid said. “It was nine minutes and eleven seconds.”
The Fairy Doctor swayed on her feet, a look of disbelief on her face.
However, she quickly remembered that they were competing based on the purity of the pill. For a Blood Energy Pill that had been refined in ten minutes, even if it barely turned into a pill, the purity of it would definitely be a mess. It was no different than a failure.
The lower the purity of the pill, the more erysipelas would be contained in it. If the purity were below 60%, the pill would be unqualified, and no one would dare to use it.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1728
Therefore, the Fairy Doctor snorted. “Refining a Blood Energy Fill in such a short time is no different than making a failed pill. What’s the point of prioritizing speed? It’s a pure waste of materials! Refining pills is like grinding coffee. You have to take it slowly…”
She still wanted to lecture Alex.
In the end, Sid said with an ugly expression, “Master Fairy Doctor, it’s better if you come and see it for yourself!”
The Fairy Doctor was shocked, and she felt that Sid’s expression was strange. Could it be that the kid had managed to refine a pill of good purity?
She rushed over to take a look at the Blood Energy Pill in the porcelain bowl in front of Alex, and her eyes widened.
With her capabilities, it was natural that she could tell the purity and quality of the Blood Energy Pill at just a glance. It was very good, even similar to the ones that she refined personally.
‘How is that possible? To refine such good Blood Energy Pills in such a short time. Does he have god’s hands?’
The Fairy Doctor picked up the pill to take a closer look and took a whiff!
“What?!”
She couldn’t help but exclaim. “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
The onlookers were stunned, not understanding why the Fairy Doctor had exclaimed at this moment.
In the next moment, the Fairy Doctor explained herself. “It’s 100% purity. How did you achieve this? In just nine minutes and eleven seconds, you’ve made a Blood Energy Pill with 100% purity. How did you do it? Tell me, tell me!”
Thump!
There was a female instructor who was already inside Elixir Tower. She fell to the floor on her butt when she heard the Fairy Doctor’s words.
The surrounding academy students and instructors were also stunned, speechless. Even if one were not from the Elixir Department, anyone would understand what the purity of a pill meant.
100% purity rate was impossible, as far as common sense went.
It was like gold, where its purity could only go up to 99.99 9%, and there was no such thing as 100%. What more alchemy?!
Very soon, all the instructors from the Elixir Department who were present rushed forward. They wanted to see what a pill that had 100% purity looked like.
Alex looked at the Fairy Doctor, who had a surprised and curious expression on her face, and calmly said, “Can we get the result of the competition?”
The Fairy Doctor nodded and said directly, “You’ve won!”
“Woah!”
Holly was the first to rush forward, and she jumped onto Alex, her arms around his neck, and gave him a sweet kiss. “Brother, I knew you would win. You’re the best!”
Alex had been taken off guard by the kiss because he had never thought that way about Holly. Fortunately, the kiss had been on his face rather than his mouth.
As for the students from the Flying Eagles Academy who were present, every one of them was shocked and unable to form any words.
Alex had gone against the Fairy Doctor, and he had won. This new student was just too awesome!
So, would the Fairy Doctor really wash his clothes?
Alex was nodding at this time and said, “When I have dirty clothes, I’ll look for you in your office for you to wash them.”
The group of people suddenly fell into a deadly silence. Some of them couldn’t help but think, ‘Will the Fairy Doctor become angry from embarrassment and give him a slap to kill him in a single blow?’
No one expected for the Fairy Doctor to nod in agreement.
Alex put Holly down and said, “Let’s go! This is the first time I’ve come to the Flying Eagles Academy, and I haven’t had a good look around yet. Let’s walk around!”
Holly nodded. “Okay, Brother!”
Just as the two were about to leave, the Fairy Doctor stopped them. “Wait a minute!”
With that, the students eyes were suddenly filled with a sense of gloating as they looked Alex and thought to themselves, ‘You sh*tty thing, you’re so arrogant just because you have some capabilities. You dare to go against Instructor Fairy Doctor like this. You’re really unlucky! You’ve pissed her off. Let’s see how she deals with you!’
This was especially true for Jane, who had a sneer on her gloating face.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1729
“What is it? Are you unwilling to admit your loss? Let me see the Blood Energy Pill that you’ve refined!”
Alex furrowed his brows, looking at the Fairy Doctor’s ethereal face.
Although the Fairy Doctor was beautiful, Alex didn’t feel she was anyone significant. His women were all beautiful, whether it was the Assex siblings or Waltz or Maya, all of them were first-class beauties and had ethereal beauty. As for women with an ethereal beauty, it made people not want to have any intention to assault them! It was really unlike the alluring woman that was Waltz back home!
The Fairy Doctor shook her head. “You don’t have to look at it. The purity of the pill I refined is only at 98%. I’ve lost.”
“Then, what is the meaning of this? You still want me to become your disciple?”
“I want to know how you did it. Nine minutes and eleven seconds, that’s completely unreasonable.”
Alex looked at her and spat two words, “Elixir talisman!”
When the Fairy Doctor heard that, her entire body shook, and she stood there blankly, not moving a single muscle. She was still in the same state even after Alex and Holly had left.
Jane was disappointed because the b*stard had been let off just like that. She wasn’t aware how much of a shock Alex had given the Fairy Doctor.
News of how a freshman had defeated the Fairy Doctor in alchemy instantly spread through the Flying Eagles Academy. Not only that, the incident that the academy’s strongest swords master, Jason Moss, had also kneeled on the ground in public and asked this new student to take him in as a disciple also spread with the news.
If there were a hot topic search list in the Flying Eagles Academy, the topic that involved Alex would definitely be at the top of the list.
As a result, the news became more exaggerated as it spread.
“The new student defeated the thirteenth ranked Stan Cooley and took his place!”
“The new student defeated Instructor Jason Moss, the strongest swords master!”
“The new student has taken the Fairy Doctor as his maid!”
Although there were people who came out later to clarify this news, Jason did not fight the new student but had instead been enraptured by his sword, these incidents had definitely shocked the entire academy. Some of them, who liked the Fairy Doctor, were angry, and they wanted to challenge Alex to a duel.
There were also some of Jason’s disciples who wanted to teach Alex a lesson.
Unfortunately, none of them could find Alex at all.
That night, after touring around the Flying Eagles Academy with Holly, he returned to Seven Star Residence to study the Star Formation Board with peace of mind. He discovered a secret that the star formations inside the board corresponded to thirty-six ancient runes, and each of the ancient runes corresponded to a change.
This was also something that he suddenly understood after using the sword techniques that Yuno had taught him.
After he made this discovery, he went through the calculations again and found that the base of the formations were actually the ancient runes.
And so, he didn’t immediately study the Seven Deaths Formation Blueprint but calmed his heart, and with the change of the Sword of the Universe as a base, he examined the thirty-six ancient runes.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
***
In the instructor’s office, the Fairy Doctor sat in her seat, fidgeting and looking frustrated. She had been in the office for seven whole days.
To her, it was like a new record-breaking matter.
In the past, it was difficult to locate her. It was rare that she would be in her office two days in a row within a month, and during these seven days, she hadn’t taught anyone. Even when someone came to her for advice, she didn’t have the patience to entertain them. Most of the time, she was just sitting in her chair in a faze.
Her assistant, Jane, clearly understood her intentions.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1730
The Fairy Doctor was waiting here for that person, the person who had defeated her in alchemy previously. She was waiting for him to bring him his dirty clothes for her to wash.
This wait had gone on for seven days.
If this incident were to be spread, it was unknown how many people would be bug-eyed.
“Jane, it’s already the seventh day. Are his clothes not dirty?” the Fairy Doctor asked, looking at Jane. .
Jane was speechless. The Fairy Doctor would ask her the same question at least once every day. What was she supposed to reply?
“No, I have to take the initiative!”
The Fairy Doctor stood up suddenly, she finally couldn’t take it anymore.
Of course, she wasn’t really anxious to wash Alex’s clothes, but rather, she wanted to ask him about the elixir talisman. The elixir talisman was a kind of ancient talisman. It could change the rules of nature and was considered to be an extremely high-leveled item in the field of alchemy. Ordinary alchemists simply wouldn’t be able to reach that level.
The Fairy Doctor had once seen it in an ancient miscellaneous book, but she had taken it as a travel log and didn’t pay much attention to the book’s content.
There were mentions of elixir talismans among the content, and it was a pity she had not taken it seriously. Until Alex had said those two words, she suddenly understood that the contents in the book had not been an exaggeration and that it really did exist.
It was also a world that she had been pursuing for a long time. It was like a stepping stone was right in front of her, and her heart felt the itch to just step on it.
Jane was shocked. “Instructor, you’re the soul of the Elixir Department and a prominent figure in the Flying Eagles Academy. If you run to the Formation Department to ask a freshman whether he has dirty clothes, and the academy students hear you, what would they think of you?!”
“What does it matter?” The Fairy Doctor said. “His alchemy level is higher than mine, and a master of knowledge does not depend on one’s age!”
With a flash, she was gone.
At the same time, Alex had been shut inside the Star Formation Board for seven days. This time, the board had automatically pushed his divine consciousness out.
Then, as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Gabby waiting anxiously outside. “Oh, you’re finally out!”
Alex was taken aback. “What’s wrong?”
Gavvy looked at him angrily. “What’s wrong? You left my grandfather and Grandpa Owain in the bamboo forest for seven days. It’s so cold outside, and they have nothing to eat or drink there. If anything happens to my grandfather, I’m not going to let you go, ever!”
Alex was stunned.
“It’s been seven days, and they’re not out yet?”
“This… How are they even instructors in the Formation Department?”
Gabby flushed to the tips of her ears. “You must have changed something in the formation so that my grandfather and Grandpa Owain don’t understand it. You did that on purpose.”
Alex patted his head and said, “I placed some loopholes and left some hints on how to break the formation. It’s better to just chase these kinds of disciples out at this rate!”
As he said that, he walked out of the Seven Star Residence and immediately went into the bamboo forest.
Not a while later, he pulled Dewey and Owain out of the bamboo forest. The two old men were shivering from the cold and hungry.
When they saw Alex, their faces were filled with shame.
“Master, this disciple is dumb, and I’ve embarrassed you!”
“Master, I’ve studied the formation you changed with Dewey for seven days, but we really can’t figure it out. It’s just too advanced! Master, you’re really a formation master!”
Alex felt a burst of anger. He picked up a stick and drew out two formation blueprints on the ground. One of them was the maze formation, and the other was a simple five-element illusion formation. As he knocked on it, he said, “Can you tell that one is a maze formation, and the other is a five-element illusion formation? You can’t tell what it is once the two have been stacked together? As instructors of the Formation Department as well as old men, what have you been studying? Jade even said that you guys want to repair the ancient forcefield. Are you guys dream talking?”
Dewey was astonished. “Uh, Master… You… You know Commander Benmore?”
Alex’s voice was muffled when he spoke, “No, I don’t!”
At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed from the bamboo forest. “Alex, are your clothes dirty yet or not? When are you bringing it over for me to wash?”
The two old men’s eyes widened as they stared. “The Fairy Doctor?!”
