Aspen clapped her hands in delight, her tone venomous as she spoke.
Excellent.
The first pest I need you to deal with is Rodney Sanford, the heir of the Madblade Martial Academy.
I want you to sever the meridians in his hands and feet and then destroy his manhood piece by piece.
Gordon let out a chilling, deranged laugh.
The first target is set.
Whos next? Aspen grinned wickedly.
The second target is Kingsley Baldwin.
He was my first choice to eliminate, but theres no rush.
Mr. Woods, you can deal with Rodney first, then take care of Kingsley later.
Hes the biggest obstacle standing in the way of my ambitions in Jayrodale, Until hes reduced to ashes, I wont sleep soundly! Gordons tone was menacingly confident.
Rest assured, Ms. Snees.
With a snap of my fingers, these little nuisances will vanish into thin air!
The fact that Gordon Woods, a martial arts master from Bridgefields, had secretly infiltrated Jayrodale went unnoticed by Kingsley.
Even if Kingsley had known, he likely wouldnt have cared.
Over the years, Kingsley had collected nearly 30 rare medicinal herbs, all of which he had refined into a single golden pill, glimmering like a piece of yellow crystal.
The Five Convergence Pill! In the martial arts world, it also went by more illustrious names such as the Ascension Pill or Immortal Pill
As the name suggests, consuming it was said to grant one immortality.
Of course, this was merely a romanticized and exaggerated notion within martial circles.
While the Ascension Pill was extraordinary, it wasnt a magical elixir that could defy death or wrest control of life from the heavens
If it truly granted immortality, the world would have been overrun with immortals by now
In truth, the pills effects, while not literally divine, were indeed transformative, capable of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary with ease.
In this age of dwindling martial traditions, knowledge of alchemy was exceedingly rare.
Most people, living their mundane lives, adhered to the natural cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death, completing their journeys in relative obscurity
However, martial artists, though few in number, had glimpsed the path to mastering life itself
By cultivating their energy, refining their bodies, and enhancing their essence, they attained great strength and prolonged lifespans
That was why martial artists were often more powerful than ordinary people and controlled far more resources
Among martial artists, one profession stood out as the rarest, most revered, and highly sought after the alchemist.
In todays world, alchemists capable of refining pills were a rarity.
Thus, in the martial arts world, every alchemist was a prized figure
High ranking alchemists, capable of refining fifth grade pills or higher, were considered true powerhouses
Such alchemists were often recruited by regional governors becoming their indispensable allies
Others were surrounded by top tier martial artists, traveling the martial world with unparalleled influence and grandeur.
The most prominent among them, with great renown and influence, might even establish their own families or martial arts sects, ruling over entire territories and expanding their legacies across generations
Due to the unique nature of their craft, many high ranking alchemists chose to align themselves with powerful families, noble houses, or even royal clans in Holtrien
The reason was simple: such families and clans controlled immense resources and wielded vast influence
By pledging loyalty to these colossal families, alchemists gained access to an endless supply of ingredients for their craft, along with boundless respect and honor.. Kingsley, whether in martial arts or alchemy, had already astonished the imperial capital a decade ago. As a prodigy of the Baldwin family, Kingsley was a genius in every discipline he pursued.
If news spread across the southern martial world that a Flv Convergence Pill had appeared in Jayrodale, it would undoubtedly spark a bloody frenzy.
Even powerful figures from beyond the southern region would come rushing at the scent of such an opportunity.
And if word got out that Kingsley, still so young, had personally refined this extraordinary pill, jaws would surely drop
This Ascension Pill he refined was of excellent quality and was classified as an eighth grade pill.
Currently, across the entire Holtrien continent, the number of eighth grade alchemists could be counted on two hands
Each one was a reclusive master, either buried in ancient archives, poring over ancient texts, or revered as a sage within powerful noble houses or royal courts.
Some, exceptionally gifted and renowned, might even serve as the national advisors to the ruling hierarchy of Holtrien individuals second only to the sovereign, commanding respect and authority from all
But those who reached the level of an eighth grade alchemist paid unimaginable prices in effort and hardship.
They had faced countless life and death crises and needed immense fortune to encounter rare opportunities and profound enlightenment to become an eighth grade alchemist.
Kingsley, however, had walked the path others spent their entire lives treading, finishing it over a decade ago
As per the old saying, The tallest tree in the forest is always the first to be felled.
Ten years ago, Kingsley had been forced to carve a bloody path out of Chetvine, vanishing into obscurity. Now, seated calmly in his meditation chamber, Kingsley took a deep breath and swallowed the Ascension Pill in one go.
A surge of immense heat rushed to his head and spread through every part of his body.
Break! he muttered
Kingsleys eyes glowed with a faint golden hue as he clenched his teeth and let out a low growl.
The roaring sound of thunder coursed through his twin core meridians first, then surged into his twelve primary meridians and spread across the network of his entire body.
The three seals that had locked away his martial strength since he fled the imperial capital began to react
.
The first seal started to crumble
The second seal loosened ever so slightly.
But the third seal remained immovable, tightly binding the final layer of his martial strength with no room for escape.
Finally, the first seal in Kingsleys lower energy core shattered completely.
The immense power of the pill converged in his energy core, like countless rivers pouring into the ocean. His aura and latent combat strength, dormant for years, began to awaken with a series of crisp popping sounds.
No one knew how much time had passed before Kingsley, sitting cross legged, opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.
His eyes sparkled like the morning star, clear and radiant
A faint smile played on his lips as he stood and stretched his body
The first seal was broken! The second seal had loosened, ready to be shattered with further effort.
All he needed was to collect more rare medicinal herbs and refine an even stronger pill to break through completely
Once the second seal is broken, I can return to Chetvine and settle the debts of the past! And when the third seal is broken … According to what my master once said, I will no longer belong to this world.
Even now, I still don’t understand what he meant.
1 Kingsley murmured quietly, feeling the boundless power flowing within him.
Deciding not to dwell on it, he set the thought aside.
At that moment, his phone rang- Dr. Baldwin, today is a perfect day! Fran and I have already made arrangements for a grand opening ceremony for your medical center, Lauren said cheerfully, her laughter nging through the phone. Kingsley raised an eyebrow.
An opening ceremony? I don’t think thats necessary.
Theres no need to make a big fuss.
Lauren teased, Its not a big fuss at all! Fran and I have invited distinguished guests from all over.
You just need to relax and play the role of the brilliant director of the medical center, saving lives and leaving a legacy
I wouldnt dream of burdening you with all the trivial arrangements, Kingsley replied, chuckling wryly.
He hadnt expected Lauren and Francesca to take care of everything for the clinics opening, even going as far as inviting the guests.
Alright then.
Thank you, my two lovely ladies.
Lauren giggled
You don’t need to thank me, Dr. Baldwin.
After all, you just gave me such precious formulas
Compared to what youve done for me, this is barely worth mentioning! 1 As for Fran … well, thats up to you.
Shes been a bit upset since she found out about us confirming our relationship.
Kingsley was surprised
Fran is upset? Why? Shouldnt she be happy and congratulating us?
Lauren giggled and said, Dr. Baldwin, you silly man, you can even figure out something as obvious as a girls feelings.
Im not explaining it to you see you at the medical center later.
With that, she hung up.
Kingsley thought for a moment.
Why was Francesca upset? Could it have something to do with Simon? But that didnt seem right.
