Chapter 121 The Plan

============¶¶================

In just a week, Arthur went from knowing nothing about Alchemy to becoming a Tier 3 Alchemist.

Aside from his insane talent, his cultivation level and soul power also helped a lot.

At the same time, he maintains a steady 100% quality and concocts five pills for every refinement.

'Peak Grade Tier 3 Alchemist.'

'With these pills, it should be enough.'

Arthur looked at the hundreds of bottles of pills and nodded in satisfaction.

Due to his refinement speed, he was able to make this amount of pills alone.

Arthur waves his hand and put all the pills into his storage ring and left the Serene Palace Painting.

A few minutes later...

"Master, you really made these yourself?" Luke's voice indicated his surprise.

'This is a peak-grade Tier 3 pill! This means Master is a Tier 3 Alchemist?'

"Yes, I did. In the past week, I have learned Alchemy and only managed to reach this level. But it should be enough for your needs for now."

Arthur acted like it was nothing because that was how he truly thought.

He had wanted to become a Tier 5 Alchemist within this week, but it was not possible.

According to Cora that is something that would take the best geniuses multiple years to accomplish.

And the fact that he even mastered multiple Tier 3 pill recipes is a wonder in itself.

Arthur would have been satisfied if Cora had not brought up the fact that his speed was still only comparable to the God of Alchemy, Asmir.

Arthur ignored the fact that one of the reasons why Asmir was so great was because he was the one with the best Alchemic Essence Physique the world has ever seen.

He felt thinking like that would be just an excuse and nothing more.

After all, he did have the advantage of using soul power in the early stages, so that made up for it.

"Anyway, assign these pills to those that are injured as you see fit. There are also pills for their cultivation," Arthur said.

"I want you to pick out a hundred of our best members and give them these resources. I have changed my mind, I don't just want our faction to have the top three places...I want at least one-third of the rankings."

Luke was shocked by Arthur's words, but he felt with these resources it is possible.

Even if they did not overtake one-third of the Outer Court Rankings, getting thirty or fifty of them into the rankings is very possible.

Aside from increasing his prestige and causing more people to join his faction. Arthur would also cultivate a sense of belonging and faith in the hearts of his faction members.

After giving a few more instructions, Arthur returned to the Serene Palace Painting.

'This time I must reach Tier 5...'

Just like that, another week passed and only a month was left before the next Outer Court Battle Rankings.

Within this time, all of those who were injured had recovered fully, and many had also raised their cultivation level.

During this period, Luke secretly gave resources to a hundred of the best members, while making sure that the spies do not get to know what was happening.

Although the spies did notice that Arthur had given healing pills to the injured members of the faction.

But they had no idea about Arthur's plan.

"In a week a group of those that had broken through in their cultivation will go into Misty Mountains."

"But this time, you all will be going prepared as we will be the ones setting a trap for them."

"Their major members would be preparing for the outer court rankings and the inner court rankings for inner disciples which will be coincidentally happening in succession.

"Therefore the members that will be sent will not be too strong. This is one of the first tasks that I have for you," Arthur spoke to the group before him.

There were over thirty of them in the hall, and the first members of the Invincible Sword Faction were here also.

There was Pashin and Kadin, who were brothers, along with Balor, Sun Wukong, and...Evelyn.

At this time he was wearing his facial manipulating artifact to cover his real face.

He would use this mask to change his appearance and follow the group with a fake identity.

Only Balor, Luke, and Sun Wukong would know it was him, while the others will be kept in the dark.

Although he was testing them, he also wanted to be there in case an enemy that they can not defeat appears.

He would use this time to fish out and expose the spies, making an example out of them.

After discussing in detail the plan, Arthur dismissed them.

Later that same day, he met with Luke, Balor, and Sun Wukong.

"I have gotten hold of a rare Gold Pill Recipe. One that is three times more effective than the normal Gold Pills we know," Arthur told them something surprising.

This made them feel that it must have been something that he gained from the Alchemist's Secret Realm.

This was true in a way as it had been Cora that had taught him the pill recipe which was a rare improved version of the original Gold Pill.

"At the same time, I will be helping you train your martial skills and spar with you. I want you three to learn how to face stronger opponents using weaker strength and you will also learn how to cooperate."

And so for the next six days, Arthur trained with the three of them.

With his superior spirit power and insight, he was able to easily point out the flaws in their martial arts techniques, which gave no small amount of help, causing them to increase their mastery of the battle arts they practice.

This raised their impression of Arthur to an even higher level in their hearts.

Within this time, the three increased their cultivation and also improved their cooperation in battle.

After a week of seclusion, Arthur was satisfied with their progress, especially Balor who trained with the most tenancy.

He was weaker than the other two, but Arthur dared to vouch that he was the most stubborn when it came to a fight as he just won't stay down.
