Chapter 2673: Chapter 2673: Preparing to Leave
"Seven pills... The success rate isn’t too bad."
With a sweep of his hand in the air, Wyatt Barnes collected all the pills that shot from the medicine tripod. Upon withdrawing his hand, he spread it open to see seven gleaming pills quietly resting in his palm.
They were seven lower-grade Immortal Pills, ’Spirit Essence Pills.’ fгeewebnovёl.com
"From now on, I can guarantee that every batch of Spirit Essence Pills I refine will not fail... Moreover, the success rate in the future won’t be lower than this!"
Wyatt had absolute confidence in this.
Earlier, when he produced this batch of Spirit Essence Pills, he adjusted the pill-making techniques he remembered from Martial Emperor Ares’s teachings, completely mastering the pill-making methods of the heavenly realms.
However, despite his confidence, Wyatt nevertheless tried refining two more batches of Spirit Essence Pills.
Both were successful without exception.
The second batch of Spirit Essence Pills yielded nine pills.
The third batch of Spirit Essence Pills yielded ten pills.
"In Nine Nether County City, the price for one Spirit Essence Pill is set at ten top-grade Immortal Stones... Yet now, the cost of refining one batch of Spirit Essence Pills requires only one top-grade Immortal Stone for the medicinal materials."
"Just look at the last batch of Spirit Essence Pills... I used a cost of one top-grade Immortal Stone to gain a return of one hundred top-grade Immortal Stones!"
"Alchemists... Truly, like the alchemists in mortal realms, it’s an exceptionally lucrative profession!"
Wyatt couldn’t help but lament.
"However, at least now it’s confirmed... Even though I can only extract a small portion of the grey flames for use. Just that small portion of grey flames can already be used as a ’lower-grade Immortal Fire.’
Thinking of the grey flames hidden within the incomplete iron fragment, Wyatt’s eyes couldn’t help but squint as he mumbled, "But, I don’t know yet if the grey flames—the lower-grade Immortal Fire—I can control, is its limit."
"If it is... Then, once I can fully control all the grey flames within the incomplete iron fragment, the grey flames might be used at least as ’middle-grade Immortal Fire.’
"If the lower-grade Immortal Fire isn’t the limit of the grey flames I can currently control... Meaning, if the grey flames I now control can already be used as ’middle-grade Immortal Fire’ to refine middle-grade Immortal Pills, then once I can fully control all the grey flames in the incomplete iron fragment, those grey flames might be used at least as ’top-grade Immortal Fire.’
With that thought, Wyatt’s gaze became even brighter.
"However, looking at the earlier pill-refining process... The small portion of grey flames I currently control lacks the surplus power needed to refine lower-grade Immortal Pills, ’Spirit Essence Pill.’ Therefore, it nearly cannot be ’middle-grade Immortal Fire.’
"Thus, this implies... The entirety of the grey flames within the incomplete iron fragment might merely be ’middle-grade Immortal Fire.’ As of now, I can only extract a portion of it to use as ’lower-grade Immortal Fire.’
"Despite having middle-grade Immortal Fire, since I can’t use it, I can only extract a part for use... For now, I’m merely a ’lower-grade Alchemist.’
Wyatt was self-aware of this.
"I wonder why I can’t employ all the grey flames... It should be noted that in the heavenly realms, some Heavenly Immortal exists are middle-grade alchemists controlling ’middle-grade Immortal Fire.’
"Unable to use all the grey flames akin to ’middle-grade Immortal Fire’... Probably not due to my cultivation merely being a ’Golden Immortal.’ There should be some other reason I’m unaware of."
Whispering quietly to himself, Wyatt couldn’t help but make a bold guess.
And, in truth, he was correct.
However, he wouldn’t have dreamed that:
The grey flames collected by the incomplete iron fragment aren’t ’middle-grade Immortal Fire,’ but rather, the second form of ’Chaos Divine Fire,’ comparable to middle-grade Immortal Fire. Given his current physique, he cannot withstand them, and thus, cannot fully control them.
Once Chaos Divine Fire within the incomplete iron fragment leaves it, it wouldn’t take long before Wyatt’s current body would be incinerated to ashes!
For Wyatt to fully control the second form of Chaos Divine Fire and allow it to exist within his body beyond the incomplete iron fragment, he need to elevate his cultivation to ’Daai Law Golden Immortal.’
Only beings beyond Daai Law Golden Immortal can withstand the second form of Chaos Divine Fire.
In other words:
Wyatt can master the second form of Chaos Divine Fire, akin to ’middle-grade Immortal Fire,’ but first needs to elevate his cultivation to the ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ level.
Because once a Golden Immortal breaks through into ’Daai Law Golden Immortal,’ not only does their Immortal Origin Force undergo qualitative transformation, but even their body undergoes an evolution, a transformation akin to ’rebirth.’
Wyatt, of course, is unaware of all this.
"It’s been two days... I wonder how prepared the Mullins Family and Knight Family are with their top-grade Immortal Stones?"
Wyatt’s gaze flickered as he muttered quietly.
Throughout the past two days, although he immersed himself entirely in alchemy, he hadn’t secluded himself entirely from the outside world, hence retaining some sense of time passing.
"One day remains until my agreed time with them... Once I receive those Immortal Stones from them, it’s time for me to leave Nine Nether County City, and perhaps leave Nine Nether County, to explore elsewhere."
"Before that... I’ll speak with Elder Ares and Elder Christian." frёeωebɳovel.com
With that thought, Wyatt stopped alchemy and directly left his cultivation stone chamber.
"Ares."
After leaving the training stone chamber, Wyatt Barnes looked up at the training stone chamber on the upper level and called out.
"Wyatt!"
Almost immediately after Wyatt’s words fell, the door of the training stone chamber opened, and a figure emerged. It was none other than ’Ares Cooper’ from Bloodshade City who came out with Wyatt.
Seeing Wyatt, Ares smiled slightly and said, "Wyatt, the commotion you caused a couple of days ago was quite something... The Mullins Family had only three grand elders in total, and you wiped out two of them directly."
"You’ve heard about it?"
Wyatt smiled faintly.
"It wasn’t just me who heard about it... Now, the entire County Governor’s Mansion, even the whole County City and the nearby regions, unless someone is in secluded training or hasn’t been informed, who doesn’t know about this event?"
Ares shook his head.
"Hmm."
Everything Ares said was something Wyatt had anticipated beforehand, so he wasn’t surprised, just nodded.
"Ares!"
Wyatt suddenly became serious, looked at Ares, and said, "I’m planning to leave the County Governor’s Mansion today, leave County City... perhaps I might even leave Nine Nether County."
"You’re going to leave?"
Ares first frowned, then seemed to remember something and asked, "Is it because of your current power exposure? Are you... worried that the other fifteen counties might be unfavorable to you?"
"That’s part of the reason."
Wyatt nodded, "This is also the primary reason... Besides, I want to go out and explore. In the past, when I was in Bloodshade City, I didn’t dare to wander due to insufficient strength, fearing I’d be lost outside."
"But now, with some strength at last, I’m ready to travel around and look around... Who knows, I might even stumble upon an ’adventure’ or something."
Wyatt chuckled at the end of his words.
Adventures are not something you just happen upon.
"You... don’t plan to come back? What about the Martial Competition of the Sixteen Counties then?"
Ares frowned even deeper.
"When the Martial Competition of the Sixteen Counties begins, I’ll head to King Cooper’s Mansion... I’ve heard that the person who wins ’first place’ in the Martial Competition not only earns three mid-grade Immortal Pills ’Daai Law Pills’ as a reward for their county but also receives substantial personal rewards."
"If it’s King Cooper handing out rewards, it wouldn’t be something ordinary... I wouldn’t want to miss it."
Wyatt smiled and said, "So, this time I’ll be leaving, but in less than a year, we’ll meet again."
Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Ares breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good... I was really worried that once you left, who knows when we’d see each other again. Given the current situation, leaving for a while indeed seems like the best choice."
Ares could also guess that once the other fifteen counties under King Cooper’s rule hear about Wyatt’s existence in Nine Nether County, they would surely try their best to want Wyatt gone.
After all, Wyatt had infringed upon their common interests.
With Wyatt around, the ’first place’ in the Martial Competition of the Sixteen Counties would no longer be within their reach!
That’s something they wouldn’t want to see.
"However, when you’re out and about... you still have to be careful with everything. Your strength is indeed superior, even surpassing the former number one Sacrificial Officer ’Tony Campbell’ of the County Governor’s Mansion, but leaving Nine Nether County doesn’t mean there aren’t those stronger than Tony."
Ares reminded sincerely.
"I know."
Wyatt nodded, then looked towards the training stone chamber where he had stayed all this time, smiled at Ares, and said, "This time as I leave, I probably won’t return to Nine Nether County... In the future, you can train in this stone chamber."
"With your current strength, training in this stone chamber... no one in Crouching Dragon Abyss would dare to utter a word."
As Wyatt finished speaking, he handed the ’door talisman’ of the training stone chamber to Ares.
"You leaving this time has really benefited me."
Taking the door talisman, Ares joked.
Yet, in the depths of his gaze, there was a constant stream of excitement and anticipation...
The training environment inside Wyatt’s stone chamber could be compared to the training ground of the County Governor in Nine Nether County!
He had dreamed of training inside there.
"When I leave, I won’t say goodbye to you again... I will speak with Elder Christian Clark and the County Governor, then settle accounts with the Mullins Family and Knight Family, and I’ll be off!"
After bidding farewell to Ares, Wyatt departed from Crouching Dragon Abyss.
