chapter 2420 – 2421


    Chapter 2420


    The student suddenly turned his head and looked at Gilbert stiffly.


    “Gilbert, is Andrew telling the truth? Those words you said earlier had never been for my sake! They


    were all so you’d get the good tasks to yourself!”


    Gilbert’s face darkened at the usations. He hurriedly turned away, trying to save the situation, but


    Andrew seized the initiative. “That’s why I said that your talents might be decent enough to turn into a


    student at the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance, but you’d still be representing Heavenly Pills.”


    “You have such a scheming, shameless mind. If you pull anything in the Middle Province Alchemists


    Alliance, won’t you embarrass Heavenly Pills entirely?!”


    At thosest words, Andrew shot his gaze at the vice-treasurer. The vice treasurer was taken aback, and


    abruptly looked over at Gilbert.


    Gilbert was scared stiff. He thought for a moment before he shook his head vehemently. “Vice-treasurer,


    listen to me. You can’t believe this guy and his words. I You can’t believe you’ve never done anything so


    selfish!”

    “Even though there are some tasks that are easy but yield high rewards meant for new students, the


    difficulty is rtive.


    “If they fumbled in their tasks, it’d be a loss for Heavenly Pills as well!”


    Gilbert became louder as he spoke, and even his confidence started to peak the more he talked. He felt


    as though everything he did was for the sake of Heavenly Pills. After all, most of the good tasks meant


    dealing with clients and helping Heavenly Pills refine pills.


    They might be small matters, but handling them badly would lead to disastrous results. Gilbert forced out


    some tears as he spoke, as if he had been greatly insulted and ndered.

    The ninth student’s whole body trembled. He no longer believed in Gilbert and wanted justice for himself.


    He was meant to be able to get a lot of merit points, but it had been stolen away by a shameless man.


    The ninth student became more irate the more he thought about it, feeling like he had been schemed


    against.


    If the vice-treasurer had not been there, he might have rushed at Gilbert to fight him.


    The situation was looking like it was getting too chaotic to control, so the vice-treasurer shouted loudly,


    “Everyone, shut up! I didn’t say all of that to have you fighting all over again! I’m just telling you obtaining


    the rmendation will need your own skills. Any schemes will be useless!”


    After the shout, the vice-treasurer immediately raised his hand and pointed at the Selena Cloud Room.


    “Everyone,e with me to the Selena Cloud Room right now. Let your results speak for themselves!”


    The vice-treasurer’s words immediately silenced the chaotic area. Even though Gilbert was still at odds


    with Andrew, they did not continue fighting.


    Jackie merely followed behind them. He slowly walked toward the Selena Cloud Room, knowing the


    ce like the back of his palm after being there so many times.


    After everyone entered, the vice-treasurer did not stop at all. He reached out and opened the door to the


    pill aura room. It waspletely pitch ck inside. They looked on as the vice-treasurer raised his


    hands, shooting out waves of power. The pitch ck pill aura room suddenly lit up, and light illuminated


    every corner of the room.


    Chapter 2421 Jackie’s eyes widened. What surprised him was the fact that there was nothing in the


    pill aura room at all; it was just apletely empty room.

    Before, the darkness had always covered everything, but this time, the darkness


    dispersed and left nothing behind.


    Thankfully, the space wasrge enough.Even after the vice-treasurer asked all of them inside, it did not


    feel crowded at all.


    All of them stood in the pill aura room, and the dense smell of the pill aura assaulted their noses,


    epassing them all.


    Jackie raised an eyebrow curiously. He wondered why the ce was covered in darkness if it was so


    empty. It felt like they were hiding something.


    At the start, Jackie never felt anything about it because he did not understand enough to notice anything


    strange. After looking at it, Jackie started to have doubts. s, he was unable to investigate anything


    even if he wanted to. AIl he could do was stand quietly by the side, making sure to not suppress all of his


    questions.


    He would solve them one by one eventually.


    The vice-treasurer turned toward everyone. “The same conditions apply. Whoever manages to condense


    three hundred pill runes will gain the right to be a disciple in the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance.”


    Everyone got a little excited when they heard the vice-treasurer’s words. They all started to look at


    Gilbert and Andrew. They had already heard from the vice-treasurer that Gilbert and Andrew had already


    learned the Way of the Pill, and a long time ago at that.


    Condensing a few hundred pill aura runes should be doable for them. The biggest hope for the students


    around was to learn the Way of the Vermillion Fire Pill and be a sixth-grade alchemist.


    Upon that achievement, they would soar high up in the skies and be looked up upon by everyone.


    However, they had never seen anyone condensing any pill runes, so they did not even know what pill


    runes looked like.


    Even Raphael clenched his fists emotionally, taking a deep breath as he looked at the two.


    The vice-treasurer raised an eyebrow as he pointed toward the east. “Whoever wants to condense pill


    runes can stand there. The rest of us will stand at the west to not interrupt you.”


    The moment he said that, Gilbert immediately walked forward toward where the vice-treasurer pointed


    to. Each step he took looked like he was about to take the final step onto the peak of the mountain,


    attempting to look impressive.


    Jackie pursed his lips speechlessly. The more Gilbert acted like that, the more Gilbert looked like he was


    just blowing out hot air. It was as if Gilbert thought that everyone would look down on him if he did not act


    the part.


    Hrious, those kinds of people were. They insisted on using such empty methods to make themselves


    look better, but it waspletely useless.


    Looking at Gilbert walking up front toward the east, Andrew smirked, unable to water down the disdain in


    his eyes. To Andrew, Gilbert looked like a clown walking toward the stage.


    Gilbert stopped, and Andrew walked to the east as well, standing about a meter away from him. After the


    two of them stopped, everyone held their breath, except for Jackie.


    Thepetition would determine who the strongest was outside of thé eldest disciple. In the Hestia


    Continent, there waspetition everywhere. Even the smallest circles had people fighting to stand on


    top.


    Every fight would cause immense excitement. Even though the others were doing their best to hide the


    excitement in their hearts, it was still obvious from their shining eyes that they looked forward to the fight.
