chapter 2461 – 2465


    Chapter 2461


    After all, he was still not that skilled. In the martial world, the strong were always the winners. He did not


    want to cause any unnecessary trouble at that moment. With that question in mind, Jackie made a clear


    decision.


    He formed seals after seals with his hands as the pill body started to spin slowly again. With a wave of


    his right hand, the golden pill runes that were in the air started to rapidly spin around the pill body.


    The moment they fused with the pill body, the golden pill runes let out a vibrant, golden glow. After that,


    they fused with the pill body.


    There were a total of eight hundred and thirty pill runes. Jackie controlled those runes and fused them


    into the pill body one by one. As the pill runes fused with the pill body, Jackie’s hand shook a bit, doing


    something to the pill body.


    It caused the pill that would have been at an eighty percent refinement to turn into a fifty percent one!


    Jackie deliberately slowed down the process before he fused the pill runes with the pill body.


    An Energy Breaking Pill that was glowing in a faint golden light spun in the air. Jackie reached out and


    grabbed the pill. He let out a breath as the somewhat uncertain feeling in his heart died down.

    “Sess.” He inly said.


    At that moment, his focus shifted to his surroundings. He once again felt gazes on his body. He


    immediately turned around and saw Rudy and Grayson staring at him with wide eyes.


    The two of them were looking at him as if he had killed their fathers. Rudy was in an especially bad state.


    His mouth was twitching as if he had been poisoned


    Rudy’s breath was erratic and his face was pale. It was obvious how much of a blow his mental state had


    been dealt with. Grayson was in a slightly better state, but not much better.

    He could even see jealousy and hatred in Grayson’s eyes! Facing that expression, Jackie was incredibly


    calm. He had seen that look on so many people before.


    Whenever he performed just a little better, it could invite the hatred of others. Grayson had been iming


    that his talents were superior, and had been showing off in front of everyone.


    Yet, even if he sessfully refined a sixth-grade pill at that moment, it would not cause that much


    excitement. Grayson really hated Jackie for stealing his thunder.


    After Jackie sessfully refined a sixth-grade pill, the others would no longer hold Grayson in that high


    of regard. Grayson sighed as he coldly stared at Jackie.


    “You’re really something else. I thought there was something wrong with your head before, but you really


    do have the skills. However, there’s something wrong with your character for sure. Since you’re so


    talented, why didn’t you just voice it out earlier?


    “You insisted on ying around with us and shocking us? I won’t respect your disgusting behavior!”


    Jackie was a little speechless at Grayson’s words. Even if he had said he was talented earlier, it would


    merely have invited more mockery. Why would he have done that?


    Only by proving his skills would he be able to shut everyone up.


    Chapter 2462


    Grayson said that merely because he did not want people to look at him differently after he showed off


    his talents. He wanted Elder Horst to have a better view of him than Jackie.

    Jackie let out a softugh and said, “Even if you want to try to bring me down, you should at least use


    your brain. If I had said that I was talented just now, what would all of you have thought?


    “You’re just saying all of this because I stole your thunder. I hate people like you who think so much of


    your meager talents the most. All you do is try and push everyone down from your high seats!”


    Those words almost caused Grayson to spit out blood. That brat’s mouth was just as amazing as his


    talents.


    Grayson shouted out with clenched fists, “Don’t think that you can beat me just because you managed to


    refine a sixth-grade pill!


    “Let me tell you, I’m only at this level now because I’ve only learned the Way of the Pill for a short time. If


    you give me a bit more time, I’ll definitely be better than you. I’ll be so much better than you, you won’t


    even have room to breathe!”


    Jackie coldlyughed as he averted his gaze, not even bothering to talk to Grayson anymore. Rudy


    looked like his bones had been snapped by someone. He looked like he was about to copse on the


    floor. He was furious, his stomach was filled with inexhaustible rage, but there was nothing he could do.


    He wanted to voice out all his anger just like Grayson had done. He wanted to shout and scream, but


    Rudy knew very well that Jackie would not allow himself to be trampled all over.


    No matter what he said, it would just be seen as a joke. Suddenly, everyone had strange looks on their


    faces. There was conflict and shock on their faces, as well as reluctance.


    Elder Horst coughed lightly, breaking the strange atmosphere. He walked a few steps forward as he


    reached out to Jackie and said, “Hand over the Energy Breaking Pill. Let me check if the refinement is at


    fifty percent.”


    Elder Horst’s words sessfully plunged everyone into a strange silence again. Everyone widened their


    eyes as they waited for Elder Horst’s final result.


    If Jackie did not manage a fifty percent refinement with the Energy Breaking Pill, it would prove that he


    did not truly have the skill to be a sixth-grade alchemist. It would mean that his talents were not as


    high as they expected.


    Hearing Elder Horst’s words, Grayson and Rudy looked up at the elder with an expectant gaze.


    Elder Horst ignored all the attention. He ced Jackie’s Energy Breaking Pill in his palm before he


    furrowed his eyebrows as he observed the pill in earnest. Elder Horst was a true eighth-grade alchemist


    There was no way he would make any mistakes when verifying pills. After all, the Energy Breaking Pill


    was just a sixth-grade pill.


    The vice treasurer clenched his fists tightly. He looked much more nervous than everyone else there. His


    breath started to get erratic. If Jackie really did seed in bing a sixth-grade alchemist, it would be


    something that would have the whole of Heavenly Pills celebrating. After all, a student as talented as


    Jackie would definitely be able to aplish a lot if he was brought up properly.


    Even a seventh-grade alchemist would not be within his limits. Heavenly Pills would greatly benefit from


    him in the future. Jackie was a student under him, so he would definitely be able to benefit greatly from


    Jackie in the future as well!


    Elder Horst looked at the Energy Breaking Pill with great scrutiny. In the end, there was a glint in his eyes


    as his lips curled up into a smile.


    Chapter 2463 Looking at that smile, the vice treasurer’s breath almost stopped. Elder Horst said


    confidently, “Over fifty percent refinement! Even though it’s not at sixty percent, it’s still almost there. Very


    good! As of right now, you’re a sixth-grade alchemist.”


    When he said that, Elder Horst had a slight smile on his face as he looked at Jackie with a relieved


    expression. Elder Horst’s words were basically a confirmation


    At that moment, differing feelings went through everyone’s hearts. Most of them felt shocked. Jackie had


    only been slightly off from being at sixty percent refinement. It meant that Jackie was slightly better than


    regr sixth-grade alchemists.


    They were all so far away from being a sixth-grade alchemist, but Jackie was already making his steps


    toward being a seventh-grade alchemist. There was such a huge difference in their talents that they were


    forced to admit defeat!


    Rudy took a deep breath. His body swayed and he was about to lose it. No matter what he did at that


    moment, it would be useless.


    He turned around abruptly as he walked toward the materials that Elder Horst had prepared for him. He


    stared at Jackie the whole way. He had yet to even start refining his pill. Jackie dealt a huge blow to his


    mood, but the test needed to continue.


    Just as he turned around, a familiar voice was heard behind him. Constance berated, “Throw those


    dumb thoughts out of your head. Don’t let this affect you at all! No matter how strong anyone else is, it’s


    not you. What did youe here for? Surely you don’t need me to remind you.


    “If you’re affected by something like this, and fail to be a student of the alliance, I’ll tell the elders


    everything when we’re back. You know how the elders are. You know what kind of punishment you’ll


    get!”


    Rudy was so scared that he shivered. He did not even dare to turn his head around. Constance’s words


    were no joke. There was not a single elder in Golden Pills that was not ruthless.


    If anything happened at that moment, he did not even dare to imagine what he would face when he went


    back. He hurriedlyposed himself and took a few deep breaths. He cast his gaze on the furnace.


    He mumbled to himself, “Only sess! No failure is allowed!”


    He had been dealt a heavy blow. The person he had thought he would be able to trample beneath his


    feet had actually turned out so talented. There was nowhere for him to vent his anger, so he was


    naturally suffering at that moment.


    Grayson saw that Rudy had already started refining his pills and did not dare to dy any longer. At that


    moment, he started to move as well. It was not the time for him to wonder how talented Jackie was.


    He needed to hurry up and refine an Energy Breaking Pill to prove his talent and skill!


    Elder Horst held his protruded belly as walked toward Jackie. He reached out hisrge hand as he pats


    Jackie on the shoulder.


    “Not bad! You are quite the rare sprout! I haven’t seen anyone with such potential in two or three years.


    “Don’t worry, the recruitment this time is different from before. The alliance will give you everything you


    need to grow. All you need to do is listen to our arrangements.


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Jackie looked up at the smiling elder. He merely gave a slight nod, not saying anything.


    Chapter 2464


    Elder Horst was painting a very nice picture, but Jackie was not a na?ve child. He would not believe


    someone else so easily.


    Even though Elder Horst had said that something had happened in the alliance which caused the


    recruitment to be different, Jackie was still waiting to find out how it would affect him.


    The vice treasurer excitedly walked to Jackie. He could not hold back the smile on his face. “You did very


    well!” He praised loudly.


    Jackie merely nodded slightly again. He did not have too much of a reaction. He had always known his


    skill and potential, so he would naturally not be as excited as everyone else.


    “Don’t worry, Heavenly Pills will absolutely not let your talents go to waste. We’ll definitely raise you up


    properly, as long as you remain loyal to us!” There was another meaning to the vice treasurer’s words,


    but his face remained incredibly excited.


    Jackie could not help but let out a silentugh. The vice treasurer was actually more interested in thest


    few words. He wanted Jackie to remain loyal. Only with enough loyalty would Jackie get enough


    resources.


    After all, Heavenly Pills would not waste its resources and gain nothing. Jackie nodded, still not saying


    anything. Jackie was not someone who forgot those who helped him.


    As long as Heavenly Pills did not do anything against him or harm him, he would repay them in the


    future.


    At some point, Constance and Zayne had arrived next to them. The two of them measured Jackie


    properly. This time, they were looking at him with a different expression.


    The first time, they looked at him as if he was a clown. This time, they seemed deep in thought, as if they


    wanted to find out everything about Jackie.


    Constance let out a slight smile as he said inly,” You really are a master. Good talent shouldn’t be


    hidden. The outer regions are still the outer regions. If someone of your talent was in the inner regions,


    you’d definitely cause many waves!”


    Constance was trying to overstep his boundaries at that moment. When the vice treasurer heard that, he


    replied angrily, “Mr. Constance, stop right there! Don’t think I don’t know how the inner region acts!


    “There are so many resources, but you all scheme among each other so much. If a master went inside,


    who knows what would happen to them!”


    Jackie nced at the vice treasurer. Just as the vice treasurer was going to continue fighting, Jackie


    raised a hand to stop him. He turned to look at Constance.


    Jackie acted as if he had forgotten everything Constance had said to him before. Jackie said calmly,” Of


    course, I’d want to go to Golden Pills…”


    Those words caused a chill to go through the vice treasurer. The vice treasurer hurriedly turned around


    with widened eyes. He looked at Jackie in disbelief and was about to say something when Jackie


    continued.


    “But s, I have an incredibly bad rtionship with Rudy from Golden Pills. You’ve seen what he was


    doing just now.


    “If I join Golden Pills, Rudy would definitely plot something against me. I just want to focus on alchemy. I


    obviously wouldn’t want these petty matters affecting me.


    “You should understand! As long as Rudy is in Golden Pills, I’ll never join you!”
