Chapter 1819


    The middle–aged man caught Rourie’s hint and came to realize that Severin was a level nine royal


    saint instead of just an ordinary practitioner! Such a powerful figure would be treated with the utmost


    respect


    by any of Nontwo City’s families.


    Everyone was startled that Rourie would so generously double the number of pills given to Severin and


    even offer a Sun–gradebat technique. However, the techniques were useless without a person to


    learn them, and having a level nine royal saint in the Chorteaus‘ ranks would elevate the family’s


    standing dramatically in Nontwo City. They could soonpete with first–tier families and share a


    substantial


    portion of iing profits.


    Moreover, Southsky’s state’s sacredke would be opened to the public the following month. Such an


    asion urred only once every 20 years and would soon be the center of intensepetition.


    for all the families in Nontwo City.


    Upon considering all those factors, the man apologize, “I apologize for myments.”


    Rourie, in a conciliatory tone, said, “Our third elder can be a bit rash and crude sometimes. Please


    don’t

    take his words to heart.”


    Severin smiled and chose not to dwell on it. The siblings had told him and his group about the


    remuneration given to honorary elders, so Rourie had been exceedingly generous, as the middle–aged


    man suggested.


    The fifth–grade pills were of little interest to Severin because he was already a fifth–grade high–rank


    alchemist. However, the offer of a Sun–gradebat technique had caught him by surprise. In all his


    years of training, he had acquired only one Sun–grade technique which is the Rose Petal Rain. The


    magnitude of that offer suggested that Rourie wanted something in exchange.


    After pondering for a moment, Severin gently ced his teacup down and asked calmly, “I am thankful


    for your generosity, and I would like to take this opportunity to inquire if there is anything you would like


    to


    ask of me.”


    Rourie chuckled when he realized that Severin had caught onto his intentions. “I assure you that the


    Chorteaus harbor no ulterior motives. I simply have a favor to request.”


    Rourie hade to that decision after some careful consideration the previous night. A level nine royal


    saint, along with several other individuals suspected of being royal saints, were a group that could


    challenge the Chorteaus in terms of strength. The rewards provided to an honorary elder would hardly


    suffice, so he thought carefully and decided to make some sacrifices for the family’s sake.


    It would undoubtedly be beneficial for them to reach a potential alliance with Severin, and he almed to


    reasons for Rourie’s magnanimity.


    Severin looked at Rourie and asked. “May I ask what favor that is?”


    Rourie smiled and said, “My children must’ve told you all about the quota for the sacredke that all of


    Nontwa City will vie for.”


    Wuhlricht nodded and said, “Yes.”


    Rourie took a sip of hot tea before saying, “I offered the generous remuneration to Elder Severin in the


    hopes that we might be able to strike a cooperation with each other. I would greatly appreciate your


    help


    to secure us a quota in the sacredke.”


    Once Rourie broached the topic of the sacredke, Severin merely put down his tea and stopped


    drinking.


    The information he and his family received from the siblings had only touched the surface. They were


    aware that a sum of spiritual stones had to be paid to the Grandiuno Sect for ess to the sacredke,


    and it was in the sacredke that the opportunity to make a breakthrough to warrior emperor existed.


    However, the details of how one might obtain a quota remained a mystery to Severin and his group.
