Chapter 1928 Potential

The?5?people sitting in front of?Alex,?looked at each other with stern looks that lacked emotions. It was only the young male Elder who showed any?sort of?noticeable emotion as he?simply?shrugged in response.

"Well, there you have it," he said. "First?Elder, I believe we?are done?here. He is not the person you are looking for."

Alex felt a sense of relief now that this elder had said as much, knowing that he would no longer be a potential murderer in the eyes of these higher-ups.

However, he hadn't anticipated the sheer blinded hatred the woman would hold against him.

"He could still be lying," the woman said.

Alex felt somewhat stunned, fearing that the woman had gone mad in grief. How else could one expect her response to a Heavenly Oath?

"He's lying?" one of the triplet sect masters asked.

"He just swore an oath," another one added.

"Yes, but he could still be lying," the woman said, turning toward the young male. "Didn't you say that he was a promising alchemist?"

The young elder frowned. "I was told as much by Elder Lan when he came to me to have this disciple work for him. Those were his words and his alone."

"But he did make my son's pills, which makes him at least a decent pill. And you know that these alchemists are not reliable. They have ways to hide the truth from even the heavens."

"You overestimate this young disciple," one of the sect masters said. He then turned to Alex. "We may have questions for you to answer later on. For now, you may leave, disciple Dawnblade."

Alex could see the woman seethe in anger, but in front of the sect master, she could only seethe and do nothing.

'What sort of trouble did I get myself into?' Alex wondered. 'Not only do I get beaten up by a man today, but?he then goes and dies and leaves me to deal with the consequences of his death.'

Alex didn't let his frustration show on his face. Instead, he simply bowed toward the elders and took his leave.

He walked outside and found Liao Xumei sitting alone in her seat. The first-ranking disciple had seemingly left the hall already.

"Younger brother Dawnblade, are you alright?" she asked hurriedly.

"Yeah, I'm alright," Alex said.

The woman sighed in apparent relief. "I didn't think they would target you as a murderer when I said you were the last person to meet Brother Bai. I'm sorry, I didn't think much."

Alex looked at the Elder with a curious look on his face. "Do you think I have potential as an Alchemist?" he asked.

"Forget Alchemist, you have potential as a cultivator in general," the Elder said. "Anyone who can become an Immortal at the age you have is bound to have a high potential."

"Many people reach Immortal at the age I have," Alex said. "Most of the disciples in this sectasno older than me. Some might even be younger."

"Maybe," Elder Lan said. "But they didn't come from a lower world, youdid. They didn't have to cultivate in places with no Immortal Qi, youdid. They didn't peak in the cultivation realms of their world, youdid."

"An Ascendant Immortal always has much more potential than a regular Immortal of the Immortal worlds," the Elder said.

Alex raised an eyebrow. "Always?" he asked.

Elder Lan turned to look at Alex and gave an awkward smile. "Statistically, yes," he said. "But I suppose you shouldn't think of this as always being the truth."

Alex smiled. "I appreciate the words of confidence, Elder Lan," he said.

They arrived outside the Elder's Hall and Elder Lan patted Alex's back. "Go and rest now. I'll see you in 2 days when you start working officially."

Alex nodded. Just as he was about to leave, a thought struck himandhe stopped. "Elder Lan, could I ask you for a favor?" he asked.

Elder Lan stopped. "Sure, if I can," he said.

Alex brought out a talisman and handed it over to the Elder. "Could you prepare these ingredients for me? I wish to test if my mediocre pill was truly to blame for Bai Wanzhao's death," he said.

"Sure, I can do th—"

The man paused as his eyes fell on the talisman. He focused on the talisman for a few moments longer before a frown appeared on his face.

"What is this?" he asked.

Alex felt somethingwrong. "Recipe for the antidote to Nether Ice Immortal Poison," he answered. "What's wrong?"

The Elder waited for a while before answering. "This is not the recipe to an antidote for Nether Ice Immortal Poison.Thisis the antidote to Green Skull Infernal Poison."

Alex frowned along with the elder now. "But... that's the recipe Bai Wanzhao handed me today to make him a pill of. That is the pill I made him."

"Then that pill wouldn't work on the poison he ate," the Elder said asbothhe and Alex realized what this meant.

'Damn, even if on accident, I did kill him.'Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
