Chapter 947: The Culprit Who Brought The Aqua Flood Dragon (1/2)

Grand Alstreim City, at the estate belonging to Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim.

Many people were gathered outside, staring at the estate with constrained emotions. The people in the yard, mostly the servants, stood outside and bowed to the white-robed women who all seemed to have finished with the treatment process, exiting the estate with indifferent expressions on their faces.

Some people surrounded them, asking for insider information, but they all refused to reveal anything and left.

Inside the estate, in a certain room.

A woman rested on the bed. She seemed to finally regain consciousness, but she still had her eyes closed as it fluttered. She felt like she held the rough hand of a man who sat by her side. Opening her eyes, she looked around and saw that there were three more people who were looking at her with worried eyes and expression.

She weakly smiled at them before she uttered.

”I'm fine...”

”You are not!” A middle-aged man echoed as he looked at the woman with a bit of red, like bloodshot eyes.

This person was none other than Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, and the woman he yelled at was none other than his daughter, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim, who brought the Aqua Flood Dragon to the Alstreim Family!

Looking at his daughter's appearance, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's expression became desolate as sorrow grew in his heart.

Her blonde hair held a few strands of white, and her beauty had receded a bit, making her look a bit aged. Clearly, the loss of blood essence that she used to escape from the Aqua Flood Dragon had greatly affected her vitality!

”You... Why did you go offend the Aqua Flood Dragon...?

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim weakly smiled, ”I had to...”

”You! You never learn!!!” Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim didn't know what to say that he clenched his fists tightly and scolded.

But he stopped and painfully said, ”I can't afford to lose you too!”

”Grandfather, it is enough...” A man who held the hand of Grand Elder Elise Alstreim said, ”Let mother rest... We can scold her at a later date.”

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim looked at Patriarch Eldric Alstreim before his shoulders dropped, ”Alright...”

”Nothing bad is going to happen to Grandma, right?” Weiss Alstreim, who also stood by the side, suddenly asked.

”Judging by mother's condition, she sacrificed about twenty-five percent of her blood essence in a single go, and for her age, it should've affected her badly. Although it would not cause her to die, she would become unable to use her cultivation much in this time period. If she used her cultivation base, it would become a strain to her health.” Patriarch Eldric Alstreim explained.

He was also learned in the ways of the apothecaries, but that was it. The true apothecaries were the ones who saw to his mother and explained her condition to him before they left.

”That's right. There would be fatigue, weakness, and exhaustion throughout the week.” Nora Alstreim, who stood beside Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, added, ”At least, it was like that for me after I battled with Logan, but I easily recovered seventy percent of the blood essence I lost with the help of resources and due to my youthfulness and low cultivation base. However, for Grandma, who possesses a higher cultivation base and higher age, it should be difficult...”

Everyone other than Grand Elder Elise Alstreim nodded their heads in acceptance.

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim was around 6,000 years old. She had lived about half the lifespan of a Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Expert. Law Sea Stage Experts possess a known maximum lifespan of 12,000 years. However, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim only cultivated her body to the Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage.

Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage Cultivators only have a lifespan of 5,000 years, and cultivators at this stage would not age older until they cross 5,000 years of age, staying youthful till they arrive at the point of death around 5,000 years old. However, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim crossed this limit and started to age a bit since she still had her Law Sea Stage Cultivation supporting her lifespan.

Hence, from the point where she reached 5,000 years old, she was starting to lose her vitality slowly, almost dead slow since it would take another 2,000 years more to look like an old lady. But now that she lost twenty-five percent of her blood essence in a single day, her vitality had been rapidly drained, and she became a bit old, possessing a bit of wrinkle on her face.
