Chapter 2421 - Business (3) (1/2)

”… I hope for your sake that you don't fail…”

A bloodthirsty aura wafted from the vice deputy. It was clear to them that this wasn't only a warning to Dyon, but a warning to them as well. If she heard anyone spreading rumors, their death would be imminent.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to undo what Dyon had already done.

It was a secret that the vice deputy and the guild head had an ambiguous relationship. However, who would peek into such a thing? They all wanted to keep their lives.

Besides the deputy and the guild head, Taline's standing was the absolute highest. Not only was she a Peak Immortal Essence expert, but she was also of the Higher Venerable Grade, a step away from the peak. She wasn't someone they wanted to cross.

But it seemed that her rise wasn't so… organic.

Dyon smiled. ”I'll take that as a yes.”

Turning toward the crowd, Dyon's grin widened.

”If you all want to buy pills from the youngest Venerable on the Immortal Plane, be ready to open your wallets!”

Taline's pupils constricted, but she said nothing. As a mortal, he couldn't live for very long… So he very well might be telling the truth. It was just that she couldn't see through him.

With a wave of her hand, Taline threw a plain gray cauldron to Dyon. With another wave, the first set of ingredient appeared before him as well.

First, they were analyzed by the formation plate set for this segment of the exam. After checking that there was nothing untoward happening, the array nodes flashed, signifying the start of the exam.

In the distance, those who had come to spectate felt their blood boiling. On the one hand, a mortal was the last individual they wanted to buy a pill from. But, on the other, even as laymen, they knew well that Dyon performance to now was impressive beyond belief. And that feeling only grew wilder when a golden soul qi suddenly shone forth.

'Innate Aurora!'

The venerables almost fell from their platforms.

For ten minutes, Dyon didn't move. But, his soul qi was so oppressive that no one else dared to either. The only two who seemed to experience any sort of comfort were Saru and Lilith.

In a blaze, Dyon's eyes opened, a goldish red flame appearing to his palms.

'[Fire Calming Breeze].'

Seeing this, Taline and Piers relaxed a little. Everyone knew this technique was one for beginners amongst beginners. In addition, Dyon's pill flame didn't seem very impressive either. Even if he had an innate aurora, as a mortal, how could he afford to practice? This was nothing but a farce.

Not only had he circulated [Simulating the Hands of a Deity], but he had split his mind thousands of ways, each concocting on their own. Seeing the ingredients before him was all he had needed. With his foundation, for such a low grade pill, why wouldn't it be easy for him?
