"This time, your nephew will definitely be chosen to become the disciple of Profound Star Sect. With his strength, it'll not be difficult for him to become an Inner Sect Disciple. Morcus, remember to set up a few tables and treat us old friends to a drink. Tsk tsk, it has been a long time since I drank good wine." Sorya continued to laugh.
"Sure, sure." Morcus laughed and continued to pay attention to what was happening below.
Alex looked at Walter who was walking toward him and did not move at all. In the eyes of everyone, it was as if they were scared silly.
Rishi's expression was very conflicted. After a few seconds, he suddenly stood up from the ground and appeared between Alex and Walter in a flash.
"Walter, give me some face!" Rishi said with a bitter smile.
"Move aside. It's not that I don't want to give you face, but Antonio doesn't want to leave any trash behind." Walter sneered and said with a cold smile.
Anyway, in his eyes, Rishi was nothing but just an ant. As for Alex, he was even worse than an ant. At first, when he told Rishi and Alex to follow him, he didn't do it with good intention, he had planned to use Alex and Rishi as cannon fodder. He wanted them to attract the attention of White Bone Giant Wolf.
Rishi didn't know what to say. He knew his strength was not enough to face Walter or other people present here. After racing his mind for a few seconds, he thought of many situations where he might be able to alter Alex's fate of dying. Although he had not known Alex for long, he liked Alex's personality. Moreover, it was him who invited Alex to form a group. He didn't want something to happen to Alex.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of the pill Alex gave him, and decided to lie. This lie could at least save Alex from the current predicament if everything goes well. But he didn't know his lie was not actually a lie but the truth.
What he said was...
"Alex is not trash. He is an alchemist and even the higher-ups of the Alchemist Association want to recruit him. You can imagine how marvelous his alchemy skill must be to attract the attention of the higher-ups of Alchemist Association."
"Oh? Alchemist Association actually wants to recruit him?" Walter was slightly startled when he heard this. Then he also thought about the Poison Dispelling Pill Alex took out previously and guessed that what Rishi said might be true. But then he shook his head.
Poison Dispelling Pill was a Rank 7 pill and refining a Rank 7 Pill has some requirements. The major requirement was to become a Heaven Grade Alchemy Master and one has to have at least Origin Sea Stage cultivation. But Alex is clearly Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior.
Kane and the others were also somewhat shocked when they heard rishi's words.
On the flying ship, Morcus and the other two revealed expressions of interest as well.
Antonio's facial expression changed slightly, and he immediately became interested in Alex. Under his control, the White Bone Giant Wolf steadily landed on the ground. The huge Wolf body gave people a kind of pressure as if a mountain was pressing down on them. Antonio slowly walked down and arrived in front of Alex.
"Is what he said true? Even Alchemist Association wants to recruit you?" Antonio asked with a faint smile but Alex could clearly see traces of coldness in his smile. But it didn't affect Alex's mood in the slightest.
Although Alchemist Association is currently unaware of his existence, Alex was determined to attract their attention and meet the higher-ups. So he didn't think much and simply nodded his head indifferently, "En."
"This kid has been maintaining an indifferent attitude from the beginning until the end, as if he isn't afraid of your nephew at all. This kind of bearing is something that other martial warriors can't compare with. It seems like he has some trump cards in his hands."
On the flying ship, Ashneer looked at Ale deeply and finally said the above words.
"If his Alchemy Skills can even attract the attention of Alchemist Association, then it is indeed a trump card. However, his skills are just like any other ordinary alchemist, our Profound Star Sect doesn't lack them." Morcus added with a sneer.
"Of? If that's the case, I do need a few alchemists under my command. Why don't you just give this kid to me?" At this moment, Sorya's eyes flashed as he said with a smile.
"The quota for the disciples is very precious. Whether or not a person can become a disciple of our Profound Star Sect will have to be decided by the ten of us together. Even if I agree to it, the rest of us might not be interested in a Peak Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior."
Morcus's eyes flashed with cold light when he heard Sorya's words. He sneered in his heart but still calmly replied to Sorya. Obviously, in his eyes, Alex was not that valuable.
Next, after Antonio received Alex's affirmative answer, he nodded his head and said, "Show me your Alchemy Skill. If it's not trash, I will bring you to become an outer sect disciple."
At first, Rishi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Alex nodding his head. He thanked the god that Alex followed his suit and nodded his head. But his face immediately changed when he heard Antonio's words. He didn't expect Antonio to ask Alex to show his alchemy skills.
On the other hand, Walter immediately patted Alex's shoulder and said, "Alex, quickly show Sir Antonio your Alchemy Skills. Don't you know how to refine a Rank 7 pill even though you have yet to step into Origin Sea Stage? Hurry up and refine a Rank 7 pill."
It was obvious that Walter wanted to lay down a trap for Alex. He was making things difficult for Alex, for he was sure that Alex won't be able to refine a Rank 7 pill.
Refine a Rank 7 Pill with just Spirit Origin Stage cultivation base?
It means Alex's skills have already reached the Heaven Grade Alchemy Master!
No wonder Alchemist Association wanted to recruit him!
This time, not only Antonio and the others were shocked, even Morcus had a surprised expression on his face.
This kid was so young, but his attainments in Alchemy were so profound?
One should know that even in the Profound Star Sect, the number of Alchemy Master who could refine Rank 7 Pills was not more than fingers on two hands. Among these Alchemy Masters, a few of them were elders and their status was even higher than Deacon Elders!
Kane did not expect that the Alex that she had always looked down upon had this kind of ability. A trace of regret flashed across her eyes.
As for Susie, she looked at Alex with an interested expression.
Antonio was also surprised. He frowned and then shook his head. he couldn't believe that Alex really is a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master. He said: "Oh? Do you actually know how to refine Rank 7 Pills even though you are just Spirit Origin Stage martial warriors? Brat, you should know that even Crystal Transformation Stage cultivator might not be able to become a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master, yet you, a Peak Spirit Origin Stage cultivator, are claiming to be one. If this is a lie, I'll definitely let you experience what a true hell actually is. And if this isn't a lie, I guarantee that you'll be able to enter Inner Sect along with me!"
"Guaranteed to become an Inner disciple?"
Everyone knew that with Antonio's strength and background, he could indeed enter the Inner Sect of Profound Star Sect. But they didn't expect him to say such arrogant words. But knowing that Antonio's uncle is a Deacon Elder, they knew he might be able to do what he said.
So, even those Origin Sea Stage martial warriors who had been following Antonio from the start looked at Alex with envy.
Alex's face revealed a faint smile as he looked at Antonio. He said sincerely, "It's true that I am a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master, but I am not a monkey you can control. As for your guarantee to make me an Inner Sect disciple, I don't need to trouble you. I can become one relying on my own strength!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell silent. There was only a trace of cold killing intent coming from the expressionless Antonio.
No one expected Alex to say those words. They all thought Alex must have gone crazy to dare to say those words to Antonio.
"Is he crazy?"
Walter stared blankly at Alex. Is he not afraid that Antonio will kill him with a single palm strike?
Kane and others also looked at each other in shock. They saw a trace of doubt and shock in each other's eyes.
