Reaper of the Martial World

Book 10: Chapter 131: Aunt (1)

The smile on Dyon’s face seemed to light up the world. One would almost forget that he had blood dripping from his eye socket and that his body was just a single step from the grave.

Watching on, Supreme Spiritual felt his heart palpitating in horror.

“This is impossible!”

Little Alauna snorted. “My father is just this incredible. Imagine trying to win over my mother’s heart with his shadow lurking over it. Truly overestimating yourself!”

Hearing these worlds, Supreme Spiritual’s visage turned all sorts of colors, flickering from green to white to black. He felt as though his heart would explode, but he truly no longer had the words to refute.

“Ignorant girl, you don’t understand a thing! There’s no such thing as a “pill refinement technique” on the Mortal Plane. Every refined pill, from the common grade, to the star grade, are all done with the most basic measures and the most basic steps.”

Now that Alauna thought about it, the words of this fool were correct. There were all sorts of techniques for battle and cultivation, but even with the high attainments her father had in the path, Dyon had never taught Alauna a pill refinement technique. Yet, he was very clearly using such a technique now.

“Ignorant. Ignorant. Ignorant!”

Who knew if Supreme Spiritual was just taking this opportunity to vent out some of frustration, but it was truly like father, like daughter. Though both Alauna and Dyon were arrogant beyond normal measures, that was only when matters were within their abilities to field. When it came to learning and their own ignorance, the father-daughter pair was incomparably humble.

So, Alauna didn’t even react to Supreme Spiritual’s insults. She just listened on with a curiosity lighting her eyes.

“I was shocked beyond compare when I learned this too, but I stumbled upon ancient records when exploring a Ruin in Nephilim Alliance territory. From the common grade to the star grade… These pills simply aren’t worth creating refinement techniques for! One can take the common to star grade as merely laying a foundation, learning the basics!”

The more he spoke, the more Supreme Spiritual’s agitation grew.

Alauna had already grasped what this man meant. When children began their way along the martial path, didn’t they too start with the most basic techniques? These weren’t even truly classified as techniques, they were mostly fundamentals one could find even in Dyon’s original mortal world.

But what was truly inconceivable was that Supreme Spiritual was saying the immortal grade pills to the whole of the mortal grade as a mere priming stage! Only after one completed these foundational stages would one be worthy to step foot upon the true path of alchemy! historical

Alauna smiled. “So that means my father is pretty amazing, hm?”

Supreme Spiritual’s gaze flickered incessantly. But in the end, he controlled his emotions and snorted.

“Simply overestimating himself!” He said with a sneer. “Even if he stumbled upon some Immortal Grade refinement technique, it’s clearly with one look that he’s barely stepped into an entry level of comprehension. How can using such a technique be easy even if you have it? Just a brat who’s wet behind the ears dares to believe his foundation in alchemy is strong enough to use a pill refinement technique?”

Even though the pill refinement technique Supreme Spiritual found in that ruin was a mere fragment, his alchemy had endlessly deepened thanks to it. And, even though he had very little experience with pill refinement techniques, he still had the insight of a Higher Existence. How could he not see that Dyon had a mere entry level comprehension of the technique he was using? He hadn’t even brushed the Initial Success Realm. What else could this be if not overestimating yourself?

Alauna’s gaze flickered, looking toward her father with less reverence and more thoughtfully. Now that she focused, she found that Supreme Spiritual’s words were indeed true. However, she inexplicably smiled as she thought of something.

“My father hasn’t touched an alchemy cauldron in decades. I myself have never seen him refine a pill personally. He’s been very focused on the martial path… This is all to say… This is the first time he’s used this technique!”

Supreme Spiritual’s pupils constricted into pinholes.

The first time?!

One had to understand that this so-called Immortal Grade Refinement Technique was at a bare minimum a level above a Divine Grade technique in complexity. How could one even use it to this level after a first try?!

However, the next moment, Dyon’s momentum grew fiercer. He seemed to have forgotten about everything in the world around him.

The 8 shadows grew more corporeal, gaining a more substantial form. At the same time, Dyon’s speed at forming seals increased explosively.

“… Initial Success…” Supreme Spiritual almost bit his own tongue. Even though he was right here to witness it, he still didn’t believe what he was seeing.

Unfortunately, it couldn’t be denied. The radiant lights of the golden clouds above grew brighter as Heaven’s Chimes grew more fervent.

Still, the person who caused all of this didn’t seem to notice. He had become completely immersed. At this point, he had already touched upon a realm so high that Supreme Spiritual could no longer gleam anything from his actions. He could only watch on, his heart growing numb.

A fiercer momentum swept outward.

Not even ten minutes into refinement… from entry to Initial Success. Not even two hours… from Initial Success to Small Success!
