Chapter,971
“An elite-quality six-lined pill?” Zeke was someone who had seen the world, and there were not of things that could surprise him. However, he could not help but gasp when he was told about the elite-quality six- lined pill, and the astonishment on his face was clear for all to see.
“In that case, Mister Severin’s alchemy skills must be very advanced!” Zeke was startled. Severin would be a cut above the rest if he was a second-grade high-rank alchemist or even a third-grade alchemist. Being a second-grade high-rank alchemist meant that Severin could refine pills of a similar level. Such pills would be very helpful to those whose attainment was that of a level nine warrior king because it would undoubtedly be able to help them achieve the level of a warrior emperor.
Though he did not know what sort of pill Severin refined, he still felt a little hopeful.
At that moment, the somewhat peeved Riken came forward and explained, “The successful refinement of a six-lined pill cannot be equated to having high alchemy skills. Repeated refining of a pill will also allow one to reach a near-perfect mastery of those pills.” He then paused before adding, “Moreover, Severin merely refined a first-grade low-rank pill, which doesn’t prove anything.”
Zeke had a slightly odd expression after hearing that. Everyone present there could tell that Riken was jealous of Severin. After all, he was a proud person who generally did not like comparing himself to other people, and he would have never made such statements unless he truly was jealous.
“He’s right. This isn’t proof of anything.” Satchel said. Riken was one of his own, after all, so Satchel understandably felt the need to back him up. “Riken is more experienced when it comes to this.”
When Zeke heard that, he could only cooperate with a smile and say, “Yes, indeed. Alchemy is an esoteric art that ordinary people like us could never hope to understand. Alchemists such as yourselves would, certainly understand these more than we do.”
After saying that, he added, “Well then, everyone! The banquet is ready, so let’s all enter right away!”
“The Chappells have given a gift of seven and a half million dollars along with a pair of gold bracelets!” The person in charge of registering the gifts announced when one of the families from Skydra City present their gift.
Next to him was another person who was in charge of receiving the gift. When the guest who had presented their gift walked in, Zeke would bring the main members of the family to shake hands with the guest in a show of gratitude. “Welcome to my birthday banquet. I hope you’ll have a good time today.” Severin soon discovered that the upper-class families had prepared at least seven million, while others. gave sums of 15 million, and some prepared nine million.
Some of the mayors began to give upward of 30 to 40 million, while others even threw some spiritual herbs and gemstone pendants into the mix.
“Mister Timon Lovren, governor of the north cunty, has present ten second-grade medium-rank spiritual herbs along with three hundred million dollars!” Timon presented ten second-grade medium-rank spiritual
