There were a few hundred alchemists in front of James waiting in line for their elixirs to be validated. These alchemists were all rogue cultivators. After concocting their elixirs, they wanted to sell them and came to the Elixir Pavilion as they would be offered the most profitable option. Among pills of the same grade, the Elixir Pavilion offered the fairest prices.The validation took a long time. Even as a day passed, it was not yet James’ turn.“We’ll end here today. Come back tomorrow morning.”Seeing that James was about to have his turn, the young alchemist from before returned. Looking at the queue, he left a remark and turned to leave.Hearing this, James was displeased. He had waited for a whole day. Now, the alchemist was telling him to come again tomorrow?“Hold it right there,” he called out to the alchemist.The alchemist turned around and glanced at James. As a faint smile crept up on his face, he walked toward him and asked smilingly, “What did you say just now?
“What terrifying pressure.”“Faced against this weapon, I feel like I’m facing off against a powerful individual.”“This is too terrifying.”…The alchemists in the queue all staggered backward.Holding the Divine Sword in his hand, James scanned his surroundings. Glaring at Songkla, he grunted and said, “I came here due to the Elixir Pavilion’s prestige. If I had known, I wouldn’t have come here.”“Who’s there making a commotion?”A cold voice came.“My Lady.” Upon seeing the person who spoke, Songkla hurriedly walked toward her. The arrogant expression on his face disappeared as he greeted her respectfully.James turned around and saw it was a young lady around twenty years of age. Wearing a multicolored dress, her appearance was beautiful, and she had a slender figure. There was also a glimmering badge on her chest.Seeing this, Yevpraksiya whispered, “Be careful, Mr. Caden. She’s a Divine Rank alchemist.”James knew that she must be the manager of this elixir pharmacy. H
Yuina’s office was huge, and the decorations inside were ancient. She took a seat and gestured at a nearby chair, signaling for James to take a seat as well.James sat down.Yuina, on the other hand, scrutinized James from head to toe. There were many Grand Emperors in the Boundless Realm. However, there were only a few Imperial Weapons out there. At that moment, she racked her brains, contemplating which Imperial Weapon was the purple sword. However, no matter how much she contemplated, she could not figure out to which Grand Emperor did James’ Imperial Weapon belong. Even so, she knew that James was no ordinary person.“What’s your name? You don’t look like you’re from around here.” Yuina asked with a smile. Her smile was enchanting, with shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth. Wearing a dress, she crossed her legs, letting the hem slide to the edge of her thigh and revealing her slender, fair legs.“My name’s James Caden. Since I’m an insignificant nobody, it’s not surpr
“Nine times?!” Yuina exclaimed.“Yes.” James nodded and asked, “How much is this worth?”Yuina was lost in contemplation.Elixirs that boost one’s strength and surpass one’s rank were the most difficult to concoct. Not only was this an elixir at the Divine Rank’s First Grade, but it even had a mysterious Elixir Inscription. Due to the presence of the Elixir Inscription, the elixir’s effects were guaranteed.She silently estimated the value. An elixir like this was a lifesaver, and most cultivators would normally be willing to spend a fortune to purchase one. After some time, Yuina said, “An ordinary elixir at the Divine Rank’s First Grade should be around three billion Holy Stones. However, since your elixir contains an Elixir Inscription, its worth should increase by manyfold. Still, we’re also a business, so we won’t be able to purchase this at too high a price.”Then, she glanced at James.Seeing that James’ expression was composed, she said, “Our selling price is approximat
Soon, Yuina was back.She took out an exquisite bag and handed it to James, saying, “This storage bag has all the Holy Stones for our transaction.”James accepted the bag and peered into it. Though the bag was small, the space inside was huge. In the storage bag, James could see a mountain of colorful Holy Stones glimmering.He could not care less to count them as he believed that the Elixir Pavilion would never resort to such underhanded tactics. So, he casually put them away.Yuina smiled and said, “Does the powerful figure that you mentioned wish to cooperate with the Elixir Pavilion?” James nodded and said, “That powerful figure still has a batch of elixirs in his possession. I’ll return to look for him. I’ll be back in a few days.”Then, he stood up and turned to leave.Yevpraksiya had been waiting outside. Upon seeing James, she walked toward him and asked, “How did it go, Mr. Caden?”James said with a bright smile and said, “Not bad. I have sold the elixirs I concocted
If she could be married to such a decent man, she would consider herself to be extremely fortunate. However, such thoughts were merely wishful thinking. She knew that she was not worthy of James, and the only ones who were worthy of him were the daughters of the major sects and prestigious families.“Yes, let’s get going.”James grabbed Yevpraksiya’s hand and left the Celestial Abode. Then, they headed to the Elixir Pavilion in Heavenly Secrets City. During the past few days when James was away, Yuina used the influence of the Elixir Pavilion in the Boundless Realm to inquire about everything related to James. As the Heavenly River Realm was not too far away from the Stardust Realm, Yuina was able to easily track James’ movements and learn of his participation in the Alchemy Tournament in the Stardust Realm with the intelligence network she has. Upon learning that the elixirs James sold were concocted by him, Yuina was stunned.“An Imperial Weapon… An Emperor Rank alchemy furnace…
James really could not care less about becoming a Sect Elder of the Elixir Pavilion. He was only heading there to search for the Ancestral God Rank elixir. Previously, Xandros had told him that the Ancestral God Rank elixir was located in the Elixir Pavilion. However, James was unsure if this Elixir Pavilion was the one he was looking for. That was why he was heading there to investigate the matter. Meanwhile, the only way of joining the Elixir Pavilion was to pass the discipleship examination.He had no desire for authority and preferred to live a peaceful and carefree life. Then, Yuina began conversing with James about his master.“James, since you’re no ordinary man, your master must be a renowned figure, I assume. Maybe I might have encountered him before in the past.”Yuina said with a smile.James, on the other hand, only returned the smile and remained silent. Since he was not someone of this world, Yuina had no way of knowing if he remained silent. Soon, the 5 trillion wo
James looked at the soldiers who were training incessantly and waved at them, “You’ve worked hard!”“Not at all, Sir!” their voices rang in unison.As James gazed at these familiar yet unknown faces, James was feeling a little guilty. After all, he was the one who placed them inside the Celestial Abode to train incessantly. As a cultivator, he knew how boring and uninteresting cultivation could be. Though their movements were not restricted, and they could move about freely inside the Celestial Abode, this was a world sealed off from the outside world. As such, they could not interact with anyone outside. With the passage of time, they would become bored and lose interest in cultivating.James was thinking of giving them a vacation. However, upon being reminded that this was the Boundless Realm, a world full of danger, he put those thoughts aside.At that moment, the Spirit Tool appeared.James looked at him and asked, “How’s the strength of these soldiers?”The Spirit Tool repli
