chapter 1896-1900
Chapter 1896
The gods-transfiguring pill was notplicated to create for Jackie. He had tried doing it many times
before, and he was so familiar with the process that It was almost habitual. Even if he was surrounded by
people watching him, his progress was not affected at all.
Before an incense stick’s worth of time had passed, half of the pill’s shape slowly solidified. A herbal
scent wafted from the stove and suddenly spread to its surroundings, and everyone’s eyes went big.
Even if they could not personally verify if this was truly a third-grade premium pill, they could tell that it
was no ordinary pill from the scent alone. It was a third-grade intermediate pill at least!
“It’s done! It’s truly done! Oh my God! I thought he was just boasting! I didn’t think he was truly a third
grade premium alchemist!”
“That’s right! I didn’t think he would be so skilled at such a young age! We can’t even easily find third
grade premium alchemists during this day and age!”
The crowd burst into chatter, and Jackie extended his hand to summon the gods-transfiguring pill from
the stove into his palm without batting ash. It was as though the pill had a spirit of its own. It spun
around when Jackie took it, making everyone release a cry of surprise.

On that day, they were introduced to new horizons. After all, although most of the crowd were alchemists
themselves, many of them had never seen higher-grade pills. Everyone knew the form for the gods-
transfiguring pill, but as their skills were limited, they had no way to create it, much less see it.
A youth whose face was full of pimples inhaled rabidly, as though he were a wild dog that had spotted a
bone. He practically sucked in all the medicinal scents he could to increase his cultivation level.
Although the people who saw this felt a little disgusted, they did not think that this was strange. After all,
that was a third-grade premium pill. Taking a whiff of it would strengthen one’s body and increase one’s
lifespan.
Goatee, who had been ridiculing him, felt as though someone had whacked him across the head. He
stared at the pill in Jackie’s hand, and he did not dare to question anything anymore.

After all, the reality was right before him. If he tried to run away, Jackie would probably not even need to
teach him a lesson—everyone around him would give him a few ps.
Kevin could not help butugh when he saw that Goatee was stunned into silence. His rough features
were scrunched together so tightly, and he pointed at Goatee and said, “Go on! You go on. You just
couldn’t shut up just now, why aren’t you saying anything now?”
How could he dare to speak? The goatee was extremely embarrassed. He had dared to question Jackie
before so many people. However, he had simply thought that Jackie was boasting; what third-grade
premium alchemist during this age would put up signs on the streets to recruit disciples.
He did not think that he would actually see one! He was truly unlucky.
Goatee sucked in air through his nostrils. “I… You… you’re truly a third-grade premium alchemist?” His
question was something so obvious that everyone stared at him with contempt.
After all, the young man had already created the pill. Was he being dumb, still asking an obvious
question?
Goatee gave a small cough and tried to avoid the res pinned upon him. “You’re truly recruiting
disciples?”
Goatee’s question finally hit the nail, and everyone suddenly fell silent once more. Before, everyone had
come over to see what was going on, and they had not considered this question at all.
After all, from their perspective, a third-grade premium alchemist was practically someone who walked
on the clouds. They would never meet one on a usual basis, much less one who was recruiting disciples.

As Goatee asked this question, everyone’s eyes suddenly grew wide as they waited for Jackie’s answer.
Chapter 1897
Jackie chuckled softly. This was exactly what he was looking for. After all, he had spent so much time
crafting pills and presenting them, naturally, his purpose was to recruit alchemists in a more effective
way. If a n would want to grow and expand, this alchemical expertise and pills were crucial.
He took a deep breath and rose from his chair after putting away the pills. He then straightened his back
and gazed at the crowd, his eyes released a stoic and indifferent sense. “That’s right! I’m here to recruit
disciples!” The crowd looked at him with an expectant gaze.
“Wow…” Surprise looks were written on everyone’s faces in the room.
Did he want to get a disciple? A third-grade alchemist was looking for a disciple! There had not been a
third-grade advanced-level alchemist recruiting disciples in the Sky Dull City for the past ten years!
Having a famous and talented alchemist as a mentor was always better than working alone behind those
closed doors.
Jackie had already proven his skills and abilities, so he did not even have to promote himself anymore.
The next second after Jackie announced his intention, the crowd was extremely excited and some of
them even tried to get close to Jackie.
“I’m a second-grade intermediate alchemist! Take me please! I’ll do whatever you want me to do!”
Several people in the crowd shouted at Jackie.
“Me! Pick me! I’m a second-grade advanced-level alchemist! Take me as your apprentice and I can do
anything too!”
The young girl from before had her cheeks kissed pink after seeing the situation. Kevin wanted to take
her as his apprentice a moment ago, yet she was suspicious of him and did not agree to the proposal.
Look at the situation now! The crowd swarmed out like hungry dogs going for their food. Her chance of
getting picked has now be slimmer and slimmer.
The young girl did not care anymore, after all, no one would be this fortunate to find such an excellent
opportunity in a lifetime! Hence, she desperately pushed forward, trying to move to the front of the crowd.
Unfortunately, the people around her were more aggressive than she was! If such a situation continued,
a stampede might happen and cause casualties.
“Calm down, guys, calm down! Everyone has a fair chance to be picked! We’ll recruit a group of disciples
and not only one! As long as your alchemist rank reaches the first-grade advanced level, you’ll be
qualified to join our Nine Gods n!”
Only a few of them traveled to the Sky Dull City, but when they returned to the Nine Gods n, there
were ample people following them! These trips were indeed fruitful, and Jackie had recruited nearly a
hundred new alchemists.
Although the ability of these alchemists varied, the good thing was that they wererge in number.
Moreover, each of them was extremely passionate about the art of alchemy! If the Nine Gods n wants
to develop further in a short time, they would be the keyponents in the development.
Jackie was a third-grade advanced level alchemist, but even the best alchemist could not support the pill
consumption of the entire n. He knew very well that the Alliance Guard would never be on a good
term with them anymore.
That battle would not dispel the Alliance Guard’s desire to destroy the Nine Gods n. Hence, Jackie
had to raise and improve the overallbat prowess of the Nine Gods n within a short period of time.
When Austin and the others saw that Jackie had brought back so many alchemists to refine pills for
them, they were all so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped to the ground. After all, they had never
encountered that many alchemists before.
“Jesus Christ! I’ve never seen so many alchemists before! Our Nine Gods n is finally starting to
be stronger!” Austin, initially, was upset that his votes were less than Jackies.
However, all the discontentment and dissatisfaction dispersed the moment he recognized that Jackie
was far stronger than he was! Firstly, Jackie’sbat prowess was extraordinarily talented and superb—
he was no match for Jackie! Secondly, Jackie was a third grade advanced-level alchemist! He had never
seen any third-grade advanced-level alchemist before and only heard it from others.
Kieran noticed the awe-inspiring expressions hanging on Austin and the others’ faces; he said proudly,
“Why are you still here? Hurry up and go train yourself! We will send pills to you once the pills are
created and refined!”
If these words were said in the past, not to mention Austin, even those fortress masters would have been
furious and unconvinced after hearing such a statement. How dare a follower of Jackie like Kieran to talk
back andmand them but the table had been turned now! Jackie brought so many alchemists back to
the Nine Gods n, the n would definitely grow and develop rapidly. It might even be the
number one n here!
Chapter 1898 The number one n! How glorious was that! If they became the number one n,
everyone would bow to them whenever they met someone out there.
When they thought of this, they happily hurried back to their own residence to train hard.
After Jackie returned to his residence, he greeted Selena for a brief moment and then started to put his
n into action-guiding the alchemists to make pills.
These alchemists had different levels of ability, so to raise their alchemical level as soon as possible,
Jackie first taught the Ninth Elder and the others how to raise their level and then sent them to instruct
the alchemists that Jackie had brought back from the Sky Dull City.
In the next few days, Jackie had been immersed in alchemy, and his alchemy level had improved by
leaps and bounds. He had actually broken through the shackles of the third-grade alchemy level and
finally entered the rank of a fourth-grade alchemist.
Jackie was merely a fourth-grade elementary level alchemist, but even if he was only at the elementary
level, he was still the rare one out there. Moreover, he cultivated and trained harder than before for the
past few days that he had also broken through into the second-grade soul-prating realm.
Kevin was bursting with joy after hearing that Jackie could already make fourth-grade pills, after all, a
fourth-grade alchemist was a legendary existence, and now a fourth-grade was right in front of him.
“Master Jackie! You have be a fourth-grade elementary alchemist, do you want to try to create a
pill? What kind of pills are you going to make?” Kevin casually asked, not expecting that Jackie already
had a n about it.
“I want to make soul-prating pills!” Jackie’s voice was firm and resounding. This was what he had
thought of long ago. For such a long time, he had been waiting for himself to be able to break through to
the fourth grade and make these pills.
The purpose of Jackie wanting to create the soul prating pill was simple—he wanted to break
through to the next level within a short period of time. He knew clearly that the Alliance Guard would not
let them off the hook easily, so he had to make himself stronger.
The quickest way for him to do that was none other than the soul-prating pill.
From the name of the soul-prating pill, one could understand that this pill could help to raise the
martial level of a strong person in the soul prating realm. Nheless, it did not indicate how many
martial levels could be raised by consuming a soul-prating pill.
After all, for such a long time, no one could craft a fourth-grade elementary pill, let alone be a
fourth-grade elementary-level alchemist.
After thinking about this, Jackie could not help but get excited; his heart and mind were fully focused on
alchemy right now. After handing over everything, he put his mind and soul into the fourth-grade
alchemy.
A hundred miles away from the Nine Gods n, the old crone who was the leader of the Anti-Alliance
Guard and had once negotiated with Master Loador breathed out a heavy sigh of defeat. Her face turned
unsightly and solemn.
“It’s too tragic! It’s simply a tragedy! Those guys are cruel and heartless! How dare they eliminate the
Pavilion of Billow Cloud! Master Zeller, what do you think we should do next?”
The one who was called Master Zeller was the old man who had followed the old crone to the Alliance
Guard earlier
His face nched. No one from the Pavilion of Billow Cloud survived, including those prominent fighters.
After they arrived at the Pavilion Billow Cloud’s residence, the only thing they saw were corpses; the
scene before them was bloody and horrifying.
“Master Yarbrough, we should’ve known from the beginning! That bunch of old sags of the Alliance
Guard was never kind! They are always cruel and inhuman!”
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Those people of Alliance Guard only wanted to guard what they thought was right, and protect what they
thought was theirs. They killed people as if these people were nothing to them!
Master Yarbrough was so angry that his face turned red, and a few vicissitudes appeared on his already
pale face. “This group of heartless b*stard! Look at the ending of the Pavilion Billow Cloud! I don’t think
the Nine Armies would survive the Alliance Guard’s attack either. They are probably not much different
from the Pavilion Billow Cloud, after all, they were not as strong as the Pavilion Billow Cloud!”
After they learned that the Alliance Guard had struck at the Pavilion Billow Cloud and the Nine Armies,
their first thought was to go to the Pavilion Billow Cloud to find out what happened.
They hoped to rescue some remnants of the battle too. The reason that they did not speed up in action
was that they knew clearly in their hearts the Pavilion Billow Cloud was so much stronger than the Nine
Armies.
Chapter 1899 Master Zeller stared at the devastating scene before him; the once prosperous and
powerful Pavilion Billow Cloud had fallen just like that. “Do you think we should go to the Nine Armies
and take a look at the situation? I want to go, what if there are some survivors?” he sighed aloud.
At this point, Master Zeller ran out of ideas; he simply did not know what to do anymore. He was one of
the important figures of the Anti-Alliance Guard, but he was helpless this time.
Master Yarbrough’s eyebrows snapped together, then he pped his thighs and announced, his voice
determined, “Let’s go! We must go and have a look! If there are survivors, we must rescue them!
Perhaps some of them were not killed, who knows?”
Master Zeller bobbed his head in agreement. Master Yarbrough’s point of view was reasonable and
logical. Although the Pavilion Billow Cloud had be nothing, the spirit of unity and saving the others
shall not die. Hence, they should at least go and take a look at the situation.
After the two made the decision, they traveled together toward the Nine Armies. They were mentally
prepared for what they were going to see in the Nine Armies.
They had even formed an image of the current Nine Armies in their heads- the bloody scene of corpses,
shattered fleshes, and so on. Perhaps, they would find Jackie’s body as well.
The imagination was what neither of them would like to happen. After they entered the gates of the Nine
Armies, both of them almost had their jaws drop to the ground. Although there were traces of battle left
behind, they could still see crowds moving around within the Nine Armies wall.
They looked like they were happy and in good spirits as if they were full of hope and confidence about
the future. Master Yarbrough frowned and hurriedly stopped a disciple of the Nine Armies for
questioning.
After asking a series of questions, they learned that the ce had changed its name; it was no longer the
Nine Armies but the Nine Gods n, and their n master was none other than Jackie-whom they had
been worried about all this time.
Master Yarbrough pulled over a short-bearded disciple and asked with a surprised expression, “Did the
Alliance Guard not send anyone to attack here? Or did they not find the right ce?”
The tragic situation that none had survived in the Pavilion Billow Cloud left a deep impression on Master
Zeller and Master Yarbrough but the Nine Gods n was safe and peaceful to the point that they started
to doubt what they witnessed at the Pavilion Billow Cloud.
With disbelief in their eyes, they asked the disciple questions. Although the short-bearded disciple did not
know the name of these two men in front of him, he knew that they were not ordinary men from the
strong aura that they were emanating.
So, he naturally did not dare to hide the truth. After all, none can hide the truth from an obvious situation
He responded immediately, “Those b*stard of the Alliance Guard, of course, they dide and attack
us. But our n master is way more superb and stronger than them! So, those attackers were all gone,
none of them were left alive!”
After hearing these words, Master Yarbrough’s eyes widened. “What…what did you just say? Those
people that Alliance Guard sent were all killed by all o f you? Please don’t make a joke about this thing!
Master Yarbrough could not believe what he had heard. Not only Master Yarbrough who was in shock,
Master Zeller who stood beside him was shaken by the truth as well.
Master Zeller stepped forward abruptly and stared at the short-bearded disciples with a pair of stern
eyes. The disciple trembled and his breath turned nervous under Master Zeller’s intense stare.
“I’m telling the truth! Otherwise, how could we be standing and walking around here alive?”
Master Yarbrough furrowed. “As far as I know, the people who came to attack your Nine Gods n have
two experts of the third-grade soul-prating level! There are also three strong ones of the first grade
soul-prating level! They sent so many strong fighters! How did you all manage to survive and even
win the battle!”
The situation was beyondmon apprehension. The Nine Gods n was the Nine Armies, and the
two masters knew the strength of the Nine Armies very well. There was no way there could be so many
strong fighters among them to fight against the Alliance Guard.
Even the superbly gifted Jackie was only at the ultimate god realm. Ultimate god realm was nothing In
the eyes of those soul-prating level powerhouses!
After noticing that Master Yarbrough’s expression turned confused, the disciple straightened his back
and answered them with pride on his face, “Those b* tches from the Alliance Guard are indeed very
strong, but our master is not weak either!”
Chapter 1900
“Our Master was at the first-grade soul-prating realm at that time, and he fought against those two
elite fighters of the third-grade soul-prating level and managed to defeat them! He killed them both!
Then the rest of the unimportant men of the Alliance Guard were finished off by the elite fighters of our
n! So, naturally, we won the battle!”
Master’s Yarbrough’s jaw almost dropped to the ground upon hearing the disciple’s words; his
expression was as though he had heard something strange. “Your Master broke into the soul prating
realm? How long has it been?”
After hearing the news, Master Yarbrough was so shocked that he did not know how to react anymore,
and so did Master Zeller.
Both of them exchanged nces and felt that instead of asking the disciple here, they should meet
Jackie in person.
After much deliberation, the two of them did not waste any seconds and immediately went toward the
Nine Gods n’s residence. At this time, Jackie had finished crafting the soul-prating pill and had
consumed it.
A vast amount of energy was born inside Jackie’s body and it wandered through his veins. The soul
prating pill was so effective and potent that in just two hours after taking it, Jackie had broken
through to the third-grade soul prating realm.
The energy of the soul prating pill was still abundant. After two more days, the medicinal effect of the
soul-prating pill waspletely absorbed by Jackie, and therefore, he broke through to the seventh-
grade soul-prating realm!
Jackie initially thought that even if the soul prating pill was a fourth-grade pill, it would be considered
excellent if he could break into the sixth grade soul-prating level. Nheless, he never thought that
it would be this potent that he would enter the seventh-grade soul-prating realm in such a short time.
The strength of the seventh-grade soul-prating realm was enough to fight those strong fighters of the
Alliance Guard. Those who were stronger and more superior than him in the past, Jackie did not have to
fear them anymore.
Just when he was excited about his martial level being raised to the seventh-grade soul-prating
realm, a disciple passed on the two important people who were seeking to meet him.
Jackie frowned and wondered in his heart who wanted to meet him at such a time. He went out to greet
them.
After Jackie went out to meet them, Master Yarbrough and Master Zeller immediately studied Jackie from
head to toe several times, and after they both confirmed that Jackie had broken through to the seventh-
grade soul-prating realm, they were even more surprised and happy.
Master Zeller spoke first. He exined the purpose of their visit and then proposed an idea that he had
never envisioned before.
“Now that you have broken through to the seventh grade soul-prating realm, with your talent, even if
a ninth-grade soul-prating level fighter attacks the Nine Gods n, you’ll be able to handle it. So,
how about we initiate the fight this time, avenge our brothers and sisters and get back what we have
lost? Those b*stards of the Alliance Guard are inhumane! How could they just ughter everyone In the
Pavilion Billow Cloud!”
Perhaps it was because of the tragic incident of the Pavilion Billow Cloud that the two Masters could not
suppress their inner rage anymore. After knowing that Jackie broke through again, they had this
confidence to take on those Alliance Guard b*stards! They had to avenge!
Master Yarbrough gave a firm look at Jackie. When he went to the Pavilion Billow Cloud, he saw that
Lance White and Lily Lagorio were killed by the heartless Alliance Guard.
Master Zeller informed Jackie about their death, and Jackie only nodded slightly to acknowledge it. He
did not care at all about their death.
That was because he knew in his heart that Lance had been plotting against him in his mind.
As for Master Zeller’s proposal, Jackie naturally agreed to that. He had long wanted to avenge the dead,
but he was not able to do so because of his low martial level. Now that he had the strength and the
power, he had nothing to fear anymore.
Even if it was not for revenge, he had to fight the Alliance Guard too-to get the sacred spring water,
Although there was still some time left to remove the curse on Selena, he was not willing to waste any
time. The sacred spring water of the Crystal Cloud n coupled with the alchemical pill that he would
maketer could help remove the curse on Selena!
“Let’s do it! And I think, with my understanding about those old folks of the Alliance Guard, even if we
don’t initiate the fight, they will gather men and strike at us too!”
After saying this, Master Yarbrough thought of the smug expression on Master Loador’s face when he
told Master Yarbrough and Master Zeller that he had attacked the Nine Armies and the Pavilion Billow
Cloud.
Although the Alliance Guard managed to wipe out the Pavilion Billow Cloudpletely, the Nine Armies
survived! Now it was their turn to feel hopelessness and desperation!
