Adrian knew that since the opponent had created such a spectacle, there must be further actions planned. He had to remain vigilant and see what other tricks the enemy had up their sleeve.The entire Dragon Palace was on high alert throughout the entire night. Everyone's nerves were stretched tight. They wanted to see what the enemy might do next.To their disappointment, the night passed without any incidents. It seemed the mysterious assailant had become cautious and refrained from further actions.*The next day, Adrian arrived early and noticed that the others seemed bewildered and disoriented. They had had a restless night and were still recovering from the tension.Adrian understood that the mysterious assailant's inactivity had brought a sense of disappointment to the group."Mr. Adrian, how far have you progressed with your plan?" Dragon Prince asked worriedly. Adrian smiled. "Don't worry. The plan is proceeding smoothly."He chose not to disclose the whole truth to Dra
Adrian and Dragon Prince led the group to Abyssal Shadowrift. This massive trench was located not far from the spirit summoners' territory. It was also the deepest part of the ocean. As they ventured there, they immediately felt a strong aura sweeping toward them. Therefore, the group stopped at the periphery of the trench. Looking at the seemingly bottomless trench, Dragon Prince said, "This is our destination.""I know," Adrian replied indifferently, his gaze sharp as he stared at the trench.After a pause, Dragon Prince continued, "This trench is incredibly deep and harbors a mysterious and powerful force. It's impossible to endure being inside, so we've never explored it.""We face the same problem too," Vardala added. Besides Adrian, Vardala, and Dragon Prince, the Western, Southern, and Northern Drakings each sent a strong individual to accompany them. These three were elite under their respective commands, serving as both support and surveillance.Adrian turned to th
However, this situation did not last long. Suddenly, a brilliant light enveloped them, and it felt like they were being drawn into something.Before they knew it, their consciousness slipped away. When they regained their senses, they realized they had entered a strange space. It was a landscape with towering mountains, lakes, and rainforests. It felt as if they were in another world.Adrian was captivated by this sight, but soon, he noticed something. Surveying his surroundings, he discerned that he was amidst a wilderness not too distant. After a short while, he also noticed some rustling sounds coming from a nearby rainforest. As he looked in that direction, he saw shadows moving."There are people here?!" Adrian rushed toward the moving shadows.Upon reaching the scene, he found people battling fierce monsters—the same as the ones that had attacked the Summoner City.Without hesitation, Adrian lent his hand and helped them eliminate the monsters.After that, a woman approache
Building a good relationship with Val could prove beneficial in future dealings with the faction. Although he did not have a particularly positive impression of Mystic Elixir, it was not entirely negative either. Upon hearing this, Adrian said, "So, you're a fellow Mystic Elixir apprentice. What are you doing here? Also, what caused your reaction when you first saw us?"Val sighed and proceeded to explain the entire situation. It turned out that Val had achieved a remarkable level of training. According to Mystic Elixir's rules, apprentices reaching a certain level were allowed to leave the faction for practical training. However, they did not have the liberty to choose their trials. The faction organized various trials, such as monster-hunting, and they could select tasks based on their strength and preferences. Upon completion, the faction would record a merit entry in their roster based on the difficulty of the trial.For tasks involving subduing monsters, they were required t
Mystic Elixir was a major faction. Even though their apprentices did not wield artifacts, they usually used rare treasures as their weapons. Therefore, despite being young and inexperienced, their battle prowess was not to be underestimated. Each of the juniors was eager and ready for action.*Earlier.As they arrived at Verdant Summit, they happened to encounter a monster. Without any hesitation, they surrounded it and engaged in a fierce battle. However, the monster could handle their attack with ease despite being overnumbered.After a few rounds, the monster realized it was overmatched. It let out a long howl that not only repelled them but also attracted more monsters. The situation quickly became chaotic as a fierce melee erupted in the vast mountains.While these monsters were wild creatures, some among them possessed formidable strength. After a moment, Val and the others were forced to retreat, with many of them sustaining severe injuries.Unable to press on, they h
In the realm of immortality, pills had different levels based on their effects, ranging from level one to nine. Among them, level-1 pills had the most unique effects, while level-9 pills were considered the least superior. Though the Healing Pill was not a top-tier pill, it was excellent for ordinary immortals, and it was known for its healing ability.For average apprentices, the Healing Pill could effectively treat injuries from swordplay or martial arts. Even common people who suffered injuries from blades could benefit from these pills.However, the regular individuals were frail and could not withstand the potent medicinal effect of the pills. As such, they needed to be administered in very small doses.Besides, choosing the right medicine was crucial, and the Healing Pill was considered excellent for general apprentices. If a person took more potent pills that did not match their needs, it might not have the desired effects.This was similar to the principle of prescribing me
"Our faction provides us with such an item for unexpected needs. However, if we encounter exceptionally powerful enemies, these treasures are of little use before them," Val explained.'Mystic Elixir is indeed a major faction. They even provide them with such items. I assume the pills and meals they usually consume are incomparable to those of other factions. With such abundant resources, it's not surprising that talented individuals emerge. Ah, I truly envy them!' Adrian thought.Despite the envy, he harbored no inappropriate thoughts.At that moment, the group of people noticed them. Several lightly injured individuals approached and asked, "Ms. Val, who are these people?"They were filled with cautiousness and clearly still disoriented from the recent battle, seeing threats everywhere. Val hurriedly explained, "These two are our helpers. They gave us these pills so that we can heal ourselves. Nikola, quickly take this bottle and distribute the pills to everyone." After that,
With this unexpected turn of events, the remaining apprentices naturally became more obedient. After receiving the Healing Pills, each of them expressed gratitude to Adrian.Adrian carefully observed these apprentices and found that most of them were sincerely apologizing. It seemed that they had understood what Val had said earlier.The Healing Pill was a peculiar type of pill, more like an ointment than a traditional pill. While it appeared as small as a pill, it could be used externally when activated with aura. Additionally, its effect surpassed that of regular ointments.When ingested as a pill, its effects were quite remarkable as well.Among these apprentices, many had injuries from monsters' claws or wounds from swords and blades. The claws of those monsters often carried poison.Since they did not have any pills, many of their wounds had festered, causing both pain and itching. However, they could not scratch those wounds, so it was extremely uncomfortable.Thanks to the
