Chapter 28

In the room in the courtyard.

Austin had already used his spiritual sense to probe the situation outside. With a faint chuckle, he no longer paid any attention to them.

To him, those kneeling youths were as insignificant as ants. They did not even have the right to take a look.

Placing his attention on Christina, he said, “Christina, to tell you the truth, I’ll be leaving soon. During this period of time, I will try my best to teach you as much as you can take it. As for how much you can learn, that will depend on your own perception.”

Austin did not plan to waste too much time in the small town. When his physical fitness had recovered to its peak, he would leave the small town to search for the scattered nine cauldrons.

Getting back his divine sense, divine power, physique, and many divine artifacts was the most crucial part of his journey back home.

Hearing that Austin was going to leave soon, Christina’s expression darkened as she became very depressed.

Because ever since she was tested to have no talent for magic, she had been treated coldly by countless people. For so many years, she had felt that she could not bear to be treated coldly.

However, the appearance of her master made her life begin to have sunshine, her heart beginning to feel warm.

After spending the past few days together, she began to have a sense of dependency on Austin.

Christina did not want Austin to leave, but she also knew that her teacher must have something important to do so she did not dare to make him stay.

Christina could only nod obediently and say, “I understand, teacher.”

Seeing Christina lowering her head and looking sad, Austin smiled brightly and said, “You don’t have to be too sad. Cultivate well and we will meet again one day in the future.”

“Yes, teacher.” Hearing Austin’s comforting words, Christina’s eyes shone again.

That’s right. Perhaps as long as she could cultivate diligently, she would be able to keep up with her teacher’s pace and be able to help him solve his problems.

“Alright, let’s cut to the chase. I’ll continue to teach you how to refine pills. The path of pill refinement lies in refining the essence and medicinal strength of plants, minerals, holy water, your own strength, and so on. It allows countless substances that do not want to dry to reassemble into a kind of beneficial pill that can raise one’s mana, increase one’s lifespan, and cure illnesses…

“And in order to raise one’s success rate and quality in pill refinement, the flame is extremely important. If one is able to control a powerful flame to refine pills, one will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. The flames of the world are divided into the Xuanming Fire, the Nine Yang Divine Fire, the Flame of Life, the Eight Desolation Extinguishing Fire, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Three Thousand…”

The atmosphere in the room was very harmonious. Austin sipped his tea and narrated in detail over and over again.

Christina sat cross-legged with pen and paper in her hands. When she heard something that she did not understand, she recorded it down seriously.

Outside the courtyard…

Unknowingly, more than a hundred people had knelt down. A large number of them were young children and even some elderly people.

They all wanted to ask Austin for a pill. Some of the elderly people had reached the end of their lives and were about to die.

In their hearts, Austin might have a way to extend their lives.

At the same time, Bruce had brought the herbs Austin needed. He respectfully walked to the door and gently knocked on it as he said, “Sir, your herbs are ready.”

Just as he said that, the door opened a crack. Christina stretched out her small hand and took the medicine bag in.

There was no communication throughout the whole process…

This made Bruce very embarrassed. He wanted to take the opportunity to ask what kind of pill they were going to refine.

After all, he had read the name of the herbs on the paper and was completely confused. It was completely different from the formula he knew.

In the end, he was rejected just like that.

However, he was not discouraged. Instead, he continued to stand outside the door and wait. He was very patient. Perhaps someone who was in a good mood and could give him some pointers.

Not long after…

Creak…

The door opened again. Christina came out with another prescription in her hand.

Bruce immediately said eagerly, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it. What do you need this time…”

He was the second-in-command of the Nolan family. At this moment, he was willing to be a servant.

Christina handed the list to Bruce. Without saying anything, she turned around and went back to her room.

…

In the meeting hall of the Nolan family.

Grand ancestor August called the elders over and asked, “If I remember correctly, the day after tomorrow will be the day to test the magic talent of the young people of the family this year, right?”

The Landry continent’s major families would normally test the talent of their family members who had reached the age of ten every year in order to tap into their family’s newfound strength.

At that time, they would invite the representatives of various forces in the town to watch, in order to show off their family’s prosperous state of strength.

Showing one’s power against an outsider had always been something that the major families liked to do.

“That’s right. The day after tomorrow, our family will have 18 children of the appropriate age to begin testing their talent,” one of the elders said respectfully.

“Since that’s the case, then you can start inviting people. In addition, inform the various major families that I’ve already come out of seclusion. It’s time for some old fellows to come out and catch up.”

August’s eyes flickered as he had a little idea in his heart.

“Yes.” The elders immediately took their leave respectfully and went back to their own matters.

In the hall, other than the personal guards, only August was deep in thought. Soon, he revealed a smile. “When the time comes, let Christina re-test her talent. Hehe, who knows, she might stun those old farts.”
