chapter 2427 – 2428


    Chapter 2427


    Jackie had the confidence, so it was natural that he did not want to remain with Heavenly Pills. “I know


    you’re sincere in your words, but I’ve already set a goal for myself long ago. I won’t sway in my vision so


    easily.


    “I have to go to the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance. There might be a lot of masters that’ll try to


    suppress me, but I believe that the added pressure will only give me more motivation and spur me


    forward”


    Jackie’s determined words had taken the vice-treasurer aback, baffling the man. He did not want to see


    Jackie leave. The ability and talent that Jackie had shown earlier made it evident to him that Jackie was


    a prodigy that must not be released.


    If Jackie stayed with Heavenly Pills, Jackie would no doubt bring them tremendous benefits.

    Then, his own stock would rise greatly, and he might even be an elder in the n.


    Jackie immediately understood after he nced at the vice-treasurer that the man would not give up


    easily. After taking a deep breath, Jackie continued, “Heavenly Pills has helped me a lot, and I surely


    won’t forget what they’ve done for me. If I make a name for myself in the Middle Province Alchemist


    Alliance, I’ll definitelye to Heavenly Pills’ aid should they encounter any trouble. Please, allow me to


    fulfill my goal!”

    Jackie hurriedly bowed at the vice-treasurer before he added, ‘”I’ll always remember your


    rmendation.”


    When the vice-treasurer heard that, he could not help but frown. He swallowed the words that had


    already been at the tip of his tongue, It was obvious that Jackie was already determined. If he remained


    obstinate, he mightpletely screw things up. If Jackie hated him, then it would be a great loss.


    The vice-treasurer mulled over it for a long time before he nodded helplessly. All he could do was pray


    that Jackie’s words had not been lies.


    “Since you’re already so determined, I won’t stop you. I hope you’ll remember your words today.''”

    Jackie nodded earnestly, showing that he would not forget his words. Jackie did say those words to


    escape Heavenly Pills, but he was always a man of his word.


    If Heavenly Pills truly did encounter any problems in the future, he would help where he could.


    The vice-treasurer let out a sigh, his face full of regret.


    If Jackie had chosen to stay in Heavenly Pills, there were much more benefits to he gained. However,


    Jackie did not think Heavenly Pills was enough. Jackie’s heart was already set on the Middle Province


    Alchemist Alliance, so he had no choice.


    The surroundings were once again plunged into silence. All the students exchanged looks among


    themselves. In all their eyes were envy and jealousy. Various emotions mixed together, and they all


    looked at Jackie withplicated expressions.


    They were no fools, of course. They could tell that the vice-treasurer had been very eager to have Jackie


    stay. As long as Jackie stayed, it would bring tremendous benefits to Heavenly Pills in the future.


    It was frustrating topare themselves to Jackie.


    Raphael could not help but clench his fists.


    The admiration and jealousy in his face threatened to seep out. He wanted so badly to prove himself to


    the vice- treasurer, all for the sake of obtaining more resources in the future.

    However, the things he would risk his life to achieve were met by Jackie’s disdain. Jackie wanted nothing


    more than to climb even higher.


    Just as everyone wallowed in their bitterness, Gilbert’s voice was suddenly heard.


    “I’ve done it! I’ve seeded! Look, vice- treasurer! Three hundred pill runes! I’ve done it!


    Chapter 2428 Gilbert practically shrieked when he proimed his sess, and it was obvious how


    excited he was, so much so that he was almost tongue-tied, too.


    The vice-treasurer, however, frowned, his expression rather stiff.


    Gilbert looked at the vice-treasurer with an uncanny expression, wondering why the vice-treasurer gave


    him such a peculiar stare. It was as if his results were not even Worth the vice treasurer’s gaze.


    The whole situation weirded Gilbert out.


    His performance had been incredibly exceptional, so why was he receiving the strange look? He had just


    learned the Way of the Pill not too long ago and achieved quite the feat. Someone like him would only


    appear once every five or six years in Heavenly Pills!


    Why, then, was the vice-treasurer not happy at all looking at him? Gilbert’s lips twitched as he


    immediately shot a look at his good friend, Damien.


    Gilbert then noticed that Damien was looking at him just as oddly. He could even see a hint of regret and


    pity in Damien’s eyes.


    Gilbert’s expression abruptly soured. He anxiously looked at everyone around him as his hands shook.


    “Hey… Why isn’t anyone saying anything? I passed the vice-treasurer’s benchmark.”


    After saying that, he suddenly turned around to look at Andrew.


    Andrew was still immersed in condensing his runes.


    From his pace, Andrew probably did not need that much more time toplete the vice treasurer’s task.


    s, Andrew could notpare to Gilbert After all, Gilbert was faster toplete the challenge.


    The vice-treasurer coughed slightly as he helplessly muttered, “You didplete the task I asked you to,


    but…”


    The vice-treasurer then paused, unsure of how to exin the situation. He nced at Jackie before he


    noticed that the pill runes Jackie had condensed earlier had been dispersed by Jackie with a wave of his


    hand.


    The area was empty.


    This aggravated the vice-treasurer even more. He pursed his lips and suddenly found himself in a difficult


    spot. Just as the vice-treasurer was mulling over how he would exin it to Gilbert, Andrew finally


    completed hisst stroke.


    Andrew let out a long sigh as he looked around excitedly. When he saw Gilbert standing in front of him,


    Andrew’s heart jumped a little


    He turned to look at where Gilbert had been before; it was a sea of red in his spot. 300 pill runes were


    laid out tidily. Looking at the Scene, the look of excitement on Andrew’s face vanished instantly.


    He lost! He still lost!


    Nheless…he knew that he merely lost because he was younger than Gilbert. He had not lost to


    Gilbert in talent. He would be no match for Andrew had Andrew been the same age as him.


    However, the vice-treasurer had stated everything clearly. The prize for thepetition had been a


    nomination, and that had fallen into Gilbert’s hands.


    Thinking of that, Andrew could not suppress his indignance.


    He rushed forward and sneered, “Alright, you won, but know that I’m not happy about this. If we entered


    Heavenly Pills at the same time, you wouldn’t beat me at all!”


    Gilbert’s mind, mean while, was racing When he heard those words, he turned around angrily. He


    clenched his teeth as he looked at Andrew as if he was about to pounce at any moment.


    The vice-treasurer immediately interjected when the situation began to worsen as he said, “What are you


    two even fighting for?! I here by announce…the nomination belongs to Jackie!


    No one around them reacted oddly exceptt for Gilbert and Andrew. Everyone looked at the two of them


    with pitiful expressions.


    Gilbert and Andrew were stunned when they heard the vice treasurer’s words, wondering if their ears


    had tricked them.


    The nomination was Jackie ‘s Why was it his? Was this not a battle between the two of them? Had


    Jackie not been apleted It?


    Those questions floated about their heads. The two of them could not voice any questions for a moment


    as they looked at the vice-treasurer with a stunned expression.
