chapter 2456 – 2460


    Chapter 2456


    He thought for a long time before he said, “I’ll bet a middle-priced sixth-grade pill. As for what pill it is,


    you can decide. Of course, that’s if you win.”


    Rudy’s words ignited Grayson’spetitive spirit. He never expected that Rudy would talk about it so


    seriously. It was as if Rudy had mustered up his resolve.


    Grayson was quite rich at that moment. A single sixth -grade pill was not much to him. He nodded


    casually, “Sure! I’ll bet that he fails at thest step.”


    Rudy nodded, “I’ll bet that he fails at the second step. He won’t even be able to form a pill!”


    Those words were incredibly resolute. It was as if he would start fighting if Grayson said anything against


    it.


    Grayson raised an eyebrow as he let out augh,” Then I’ll bet a sixth-grade pill as well. You’re allowed


    to choose the type.”

    The two of them had a deal, and they once again shifted their focus onto Jackie.


    Those words that were being spoken near Jackie did not disturb Jackie at all. Afterpleting the first


    step, he reached the second. The first two steps were actually not difficult for Jackie at all.


    After all, he had absorbed the great warrior’s memories. The great warrior had done the first two steps


    countless times. He could easily make seventh, eighth, and ninth-grade pills, let alone sixth-grade ones.


    After all, the great warriors hade from the first grade world, the Divine Void World. In the Divine Void


    World, even ninth-grade pills were incrediblymon.

    Jackie was still notpletely merged with the memories at that moment. Otherwise, Jackie would have


    easily been able to refine ninth-grade pills.


    Constance looked over to the vice treasurer. He saw that a curious and disdainful glint was in the vice


    treasurer’s eyes.


    He only stopped on the treasurer for a moment before he looked over at Jackie. His eyes constantly


    moved between the vice treasurer and Jackie, as if he was thinking about something and trying to make


    a decision.


    After a good while, Constance suddenly said, “Your student over there really is someone special…”


    The vice treasurer’s face soured more when he heard that. He had already been incredibly miserable


    standing there.


    Jackie, who he had thought was incredibly reliable, had suddenly thrown such a curveball. Then there


    was Gilbert who decided to ignore the Heavenly Pills’ reputation to tell everyone about Jackie.


    Those matters really troubled the vice treasurer. Constance’s words almost caused the vice treasurer to


    leap intobat.


    The vice treasurer suppressed his rage as he turned to look at Constance and replied, “Mr. Constance,


    you should focus on your own matters. There’s no need for you to worry about me.


    “I know how my student is. I know what he can or cannot do. I didn’t really want any of them to be a


    formal student for the alliance anyway.”

    If Jackie had not wanted to refine a sixth-grade pill, Jackie would still have had the chance to be a


    formal student of the alliance. With Jackie’s actions, it was alreadypletely hopeless.


    Chapter 2457


    Jackie could not possibly refine a sixth-grade pill and had also lost the chance to prove himself through


    forming pill runes. Jackie had dug his own grave.


    The vice treasurer could not help but prepare himself for future failure. Otherwise, he would be viciously


    mockedter on, and Constance’s mockery would get worse.


    The vice treasurer had experienced many things in his years, but he could not take that kind of mockery.


    Constance let out a cold smile and said, “It looks like you don’t think Jackie can do anything at all. I really


    don’t know what Heavenly Pills are thinking to ept riff-raff like that.


    “An idiot like him who insists on proving how stupid he is would be a burden even if he became a


    sixthgrade alchemist.”


    Constance seemed to be giving out advice, but the tone was notably wrong. Anyone could have sensed


    that. The vice treasurer’s lips twitched as he turned to look away, no longer facing Constance.


    “I know what you’re trying to say, but I can’t hear anything when my mood is bad. I’d advise you to shut


    your mouth and look at your favored disciple.”


    After that, the vice treasurer deliberately moved away from Constance. The vice treasurer would


    probably end up spitting out blood if he continued talking to the guy. He decided to just shut his mouth


    and pretend to not see anything.


    “The pill has taken shape!” Grayson suddenly said.


    Grayson did not even have to mention that. Rudy had seen everything. At that moment, Rudy looked like


    he had swallowed a fly.


    Rudy had thought that Jackie was just full of hot air. Yet, a dark pill body was in the furnace in front of


    Jackie, floating in the middle.


    Jackie’s hands were constantly forming seals as the pill’s movement constantly sped up. At the peak of


    the speed, the pill suddenly stopped.


    Under Jackie’s serious eyes, the pill started to emit a dense smell. Jackie let out a sigh of relief as he


    once again started to form seals. The dense fragrance filled Jackie’s nose as he quickly gathered all that


    pill aura together.


    One by one, golden pill runes started to form. The faint golden runes started to illuminate the air around


    him.


    When Rudy saw that scene, there was not much he could say. Rudy had lostpletely. Jackie did not


    justplete the second step, he had even started on the third


    Even though he knew that Jackie could not finish the third step, he was still unable to contain his anger.


    Grayson let out a lightugh as he looked at Rudy and said, “It looks like I’ve won. Thank you…”


    Rudy took a deep breath, unable to say anything back at Grayson. He was forced to nod sincerely and


    replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll let you pick a sixth-grade pillter.”


    Either because of Rudy keeping to his words or because they both had Jackie as amon enemy, they


    had seemed to set aside their earlier differences.


    Chapter 2458 Time slowly ticked away. Jackie was forming the pill runes at an even pace. One by one,


    the golden runes floated in the air, slowly umting.


    Rudy and Grayson had yet to start on their own pills. They had put their full focus on Jackie. They


    witnessed for themselves as Jackie slowly condenses pill rune after pill rune.


    The faint golden glow shed in front of their eyes. The more they watched, the more apprehensive they


    were. Grayson had felt like Jackie would already be quite talented to even be able to form a hundred pill


    runes.


    After all, forming pill runes by themselves was different from forming pill runes while refining a pill.


    While refining, one would need to make sure the pill maintained its shape. Then, one would need to use


    the pill aura emitted from the pill to form pill runes. It needed the support of true and aura.


    Most importantly, one needed to go through constant training to stabilize oneself. That needed incredible


    skills as well as a very long time.


    Normal students would not be able to do that at all. Yet, Jackie seemed to be able to do itfortably.


    Jackie was not panicking at all as he calmly formed his pill runes.


    The number of pill runes slowly increased. From three hundred to five hundred, and he even managed to


    form eight hundred.


    It was then that Jackie was once again the focus of everyone’s attention, not only being focused by a


    select few.


    Initially, everyone felt like Jackie had been an incredible idiot to stand behind Rudy.


    Apletely unknown brat had actually dared to challenge the third test to prove his skills. Everyone


    knew very well how difficult a sixth-grade pill was to form.


    Only those with incredible talent could be sixth grade alchemists at their age. Back then, no one


    thought Jackie could do it.


    After following Elder Horst into the hall, everyone’s focus had been on the test. They no longer cared


    about the troublemaking Jackie. Yet, even if they wanted to ignore him, they could no longer do so.


    Eight hundred pill runes floated in front of Jackie. The golden glow was absolutely radiant. Everyone was


    looking at Jackie in apletely different expression!


    Even if Jackie’s pill runes could not merge well enough with the pill, his performance would still have set


    him apart from the group.


    It was way better than most of them! After all, being able to form one to two hundred pill runes among


    those students was already considered an incredible feat.


    Jackie was able to control the pill body as he condensed eight hundred pill runes. That was something


    those students could only dream of. Rudy was already looking at Jackie with an incredibly dark look.


    His hands trembled and he uttered, “How is this possible?! How could this guy actually form eight


    hundred pill runes?! How did he do it? Why can he do it?! I’ve never heard of him before!”


    Rudy was already in apletely crazed state. Jackie had given Rudy a p to the face with the


    demonstration of his skills.


    All the mockery Rudy had thrown had been reflected right back at him. Rudy felt like a joke at that


    moment. It was no wonder Jackie’s words had been so sharp before.


    Jackie really did have the skill! Grayson’s frown had not disappeared since Jackie had formed five


    hundred pill runes.


    Grayson’s mood was not much better than Rudy’s. After all, it was too much of a shock. “Where did he


    come from? Why have I never heard of him before?! Is he actually able to form a sixth-grade pill?”


    Chapter 2459 Grayson’s voice was a little raspy. At that moment, Rudy was no longer in the mood to


    answer Grayson. Rudy looked at Jackie with an anxious look, praying that Jackie would fail! Only then


    would he be able to save himself from embarrassment.


    The vice treasurer’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He gaped slightly as he looked at


    Jackie In disbelief.


    He never expected that Jackie would actually be able to form eight hundred pill runes. He knew that


    Jackie had been hiding his skills, but he did not expect him to be so skillful.


    The vice treasurer had thought that Jackie had gone crazy, but it seemed like he was the one who had


    been blind to Jackie’s master!


    Thinking about that, he took a deep breath, concealing his expression. He did not want anyone to notice


    anything strange.


    Constance said in an incredibly cold voice, “Vice treasurer, your acting skills are getting better and


    better!”

    When he said that, he was filled with rage. Thankfully, the vice treasurer had hidden his strange


    expression and returned to normal. Constance had not noticed anything at all and only felt like he had


    been ying around.


    The vice treasurer let out a coldugh, “What do you mean by my acting skills? I’m Heavenly Pills’ vice


    treasurer. I’m not some circus show.”


    Constance mmed his hand down as he violently eximed, “Stop trying to pull one over me! I actually


    really thought that the brat was an idiot.


    “It looks like you were just too good at acting. You managed to fool all of us!”


    The vice treasurer did his best to control himself, not revealing any strange expressions. The vice


    treasurer struggled a little at Constance’s usations. He had not been acting earlier and had really felt


    that way.


    He had never known of Jackie’s true abilities. His shock was no less than anyone present. It was just that


    he could not voice out his surprise.


    Zayne had been eagerly waiting to be entertained. Even though he was not in that great of a rtionship


    with the vice treasurer, he could not really offend the vice treasurer too much.


    After all, Zayne was part of the Rosefinch Pavilion. Heavenly Pills had Heavenly Auction House behind


    them, which had incredibly close ties with Rosefinch Pavilion. He could not make the situation too bad for


    the vice treasurer, but now he was a little anxious.


    Zayne’s lips twitched, “Vice treasurer, did you need to do all that? They had to show their skills eventually


    anyway. What was the point of hiding everything from us? You caused us to think that you were just


    recruiting riff-raff.”


    The vice treasurer let out a helpless sigh as he said, ” I’ve never seen Jackie refine a sixth-grade pill, so I


    can’t be sure if he can actually do it.


    “I was more or less a little anxious. Naturally, I showed anxiety in my expression. It was you who jumped


    to conclusions, so this has nothing to do with me.”


    The vice treasurer’s reasoning was a little forced, but it was still able to temporarily set the situation


    aside.


    He did not want to go too deep into the topic. His eyes remained fixed on Jackie.


    Gilbert and Andrew had already formed quite a few pill runes, but when they witnessed what Jackie was


    doing, they could no longer maintain theirposure.


    The runes they were forming suddenly disappeared, turning into pill auras. Gilbert looked at Jackie with a


    frown.


    He pinched himself harshly to prove that he was not dreaming. “How is this possible?! How could he


    form eight hundred pill runes?!”


    Chapter 2460


    Gilbert felt like he was about to go crazy from anger. He had already been stamped on by Jackie before,


    but now he felt like he was about to bepletely trampled over.


    He had thought that Jackie had some talent, but would not be that much stronger than him. After


    witnessing all this for himself, he finally realized how much of a joke his thoughts were.


    No wonder Jackie had always looked at him as if he was nothing. Jackie had never taken him seriously


    before at all. In Jackie’s eyes, Gilbert was merely a clown. Gilbert could not take it after realizing that


    point.


    Earlier, he might have offended the vice treasurer, but he had turned Jackie into a joke. Once Jackie


    returned to Heavenly Pills, Jackie would be punished severely. After all, Heavenly Pills really held a lot of


    importance in their reputation.


    Jackie’s actions had clearly smeared a ck spot on Heavenly Pills’ reputation before. Yet, his thoughts


    had beenpletely shattered by Jackie.


    Gilbert’s hands trembled. He could not even breathe properly at that point. “I refuse to believe it! Why


    can he do all this? Why does he have so much talent? I’ve never seen…”


    He could not finish his sentence. He had never seen anyone as talented as Jackie. Jackie looked to be


    about the same age as him, but Jackie was so much more talented than he was.


    It was one thing for Jackie to be better at fighting than him, but they had such a huge gap even in


    alchemy. How could he possibly stand it? Gilbert’s mild trembling had turned into full-on shaking as if he


    was having a fit.


    Hisplexion kept on changing as if he had suffered some disease. Andrew’s expression was not


    much better than Gilbert’s, but he was at least a little calmer than Gilbert.


    Andrew was also dealt a heavy blow. He gulped as he sighed, “So there’s such a big gap between us.


    It’s such a joke that I had wanted to use my skills to prove myself. Such a huge joke…”


    Andrew was just like Gilbert. He felt like all his actions in front of Jackie before were all just a massive


    joke. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed that way.


    The discussions around the ce at that moment shot up in waves.


    “Why have I never heard of Heavenly Pills having such a master before?! His talents are equal to


    Grayson’s! Looking at him, he should be around our age. No wonder he dared to stand behind Rudy. He


    was no idiot, he really did have the skills!”


    “I was saying that he didn’t look like an idiot. Heavenly Pills really hid this very well. I’m so surprised.


    “If Jackie grows up, Heavenly Pills will definitely be much stronger. When I go back, I have to tell the


    elders…”


    The discussions flew everywhere, but it did not disturb Jackie at all. Jackie had a challenge in front of


    him at that moment, which was thest step. He needed to merge the pill runes with the pill body.


    Only with a fifty percent refinement would the Energy Breaking Pill be considered sessful. With


    Jackie’s skills, it would not be hard for him to do so, but he did not want to expose too much of his


    talents.


    His goal was to be a sixth-grade alchemist and enter the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance. He


    did not want too many eyes on him, or he might risk being targeted by others.
