Chapter 136 - Nightmare (2/2)
”But it is not fair mother” said Hannah as she stomped the ground before walking out.
After having a little word with his mother, Jason went back to cultivating before it was the next day when he rose as he went to the alchemy room to see if the place was open and to his surprise, it was and Austin was even working away as usual. Walking up to him, they exchange words before Jason excuses himself to look for the grand elder only to see the old man drinking from the jar.
”I can't believe you actually close the place without informing us” said Jason the moment he saw him.
”I am sorry that I didn't inform your guys, you see I was too absorbed in finding out what the pill is used for that I have to leave the territory to visit an old friend who is also an alchemist just like myself to see if he know one or two about it” replied the grand elder as he turns himself a cup of wine.
Seeing that it was all for the sake of finding more about the pill that he left without informing them, Jason decided to let it slide as he turned to the grand elder as he asked.
”So was he able to find anything about the pill”.
”Actually he also was really troubled about it just like me so I decided to take a rest there to have a chat just like old time since we don't know when we will be seeing each other again” replied the grand elder with a smile.
”Even with all the stress of going there, there is still no information about the pill” mumbled Jason.
The grand elder was just about to drink from his cup when he noticed some changes with Jason's aura and he couldn't help but smile as he said.
”It looks like someone has made a breakthrough once again”.
”Oh haha, I was quite lucky to come across a fruit in the forest while I was training and since I was starving, I decided to take a bite without thinking of looking it up to see if it was poisonous but who could have thought that it was filled with spiritual energy” replied Jason.
”I see, then I guess that you are a really lucky guy to have come into such a fruitful encounter” said the grand elder.
”By the way grand elder, I have a question that I want to ask you” asked Jason as his expression suddenly turn serious.
”What is it boy” replied the grand elder.
”Well I have been having trouble answering this question, if someone were to threaten my life, is it wrong if I were to kill them when I have the chance” asked Jason.
The grand elder didn't answer Jason right away as he took a mouthful of wine before turning his gaze at him as he replied with a question of his own.
”Did anyone from my family offend you in any way”.
”Not at all, I am just asking to clear my doubt” said Jason with a smile.
”If you say so, it wouldn't be bad if you were to kill someone that wanted you dead since you are only trying to look at for your well-being” replied the grand elder.
After answering the question, Jason bowed to the grand elder before turning around to take his leave but before he could take a step, the grand elder suddenly spoke up.
”Boy, I am guessing that the reason why we can't discover anything about the pill was likely because it is not of this world so it is going to take a lot more time before we will be able to come up with something”.
”Just my thought as well, but I am not in a hurry to use the pill so you can take your take” replied Jason before walking out to do his stuff.
After they are done for the day, Jason decided to go see the blacksmiths to sell the part of the beasts he was able to secure before absorbing their energy while he was experimenting on them but on his way, Jason came across Andrew and his gang who thought he is dead as they have a frighten look on their face as he walks past them with a smile while paying less attention to them.
”How can he still be alive” asked Denise with a shaking body.
”He must have killed Fred for him to be walking around freely” replied Michael with a frown on his face.
”This is really bad since he is alive it will only be a matter of time before he comes for us” said Andrew before turning around as he walked out of his gang.
