Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Thunder Fire Pill
Back at the Lee Family manor.
"Young Master, you... ssed with the Garcia Clan, there won’t be troubles, right?"
The young girl looked at the young man beside her, worry appearing on her delicate cheeks.
"Keer, don’t worry. There’s nothing to be worried about. You’ve seen what happened. It’s not my fault. Would I have taken action if he hadn’t been so aggressive and vowed to kill ?"
The young man shook his head and smiled.
As a mighty Weapon King, he had his own set of rules:
If soone doesn’t harm , I won’t harm them.
If soone harms , I will return it to them tenfold, a hundredfold, even a thousand tis over!
From the mont Pete Garcia threatened to kill him, he had considered Pete a dead man.
"Wyatt, what did you do to the Garcias this ti?"
As soon as Wyatt Barnes returned ho with Keer, he was greeted by his mother, Christina Lee.
"Mom, it’s nothing."
Wyatt Barnes knew his mother must have overheard his conversation with Keer, and he smiled faintly.
"Tell the truth!"
Christina Lee frowned slightly, her autumnal eyes ford a crescent, clearly not easy to fool.
"Really, it’s nothing. Just so guy from Garcia Clan didn’t know what’s good for him and threatened to kill ..."
Wyatt Barnes scratched his nose awkwardly and slowly spoke.
"Who dares to threaten my son Wyatt Barnes’s life?!"
Before he could finish speaking, Christina Lee exploded.
A hint of anger appeared in her eyes, and her voice grew a bit colder...
"It seems to be the young manager of the Garcia Clan’s dicine store, a guy nad Pete Garcia. But, I’ve taken care of it, Mom, you don’t have to worry."
Wyatt Barnes smiled slightly.
"Pete Garcia? Son of Wave Garcia?"
Christina’s eyebrows knit.
She quickly rembered, this Pete Garcia, was indeed the son of Wave Garcia, the manager of Garcia Clan’s dicine store.
Although his martial prowess was average, he was in his early twenties after all.
A man of such age was picking a fight with, and even threatening to kill, her 15-year-old son...
In a blink, rage surged in Christina’s heart!
"Wyatt, did he hurt you?"
Christina looked at Wyatt Barnes up and down, asking worriedly.
As if to say that if Wyatt Barnes had been injured, she’d settle this score with Pete Garcia.
"Mom, I am not hurt at all. If you don’t believe it, ask Keer, he didn’t even touch ."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head, comforted in heart.
Christina looked at Keer, who nodded like a pecking chicken.
At the beginning, she was also worried that the young master would suffer.
Latter on, though she didn’t look back, she had a faint idea of the fate of that Garcia Clan’s guy.
Even now, thinking back, her delicate face turned pale from fright.
"Keer, you look pale. Are you sick?"
Seeing her pale face, Christina was concerned.
She had long considered Keer to be her future daughter-in-law and cared for her like she would for her own son.
The young girl shook her head slightly, her complexion gradually relaxing.
"Co, let
take you back to your room to rest..."
Seeing his mother taking the girl into the room, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes narrowed slightly.
In his view, it was normal for Keer to react like this, as she was different from him.
Killing for him, a man from a previous life bathed in blood, is an everyday matter, he’d grown numb to it.
Putting the materials in his hand back into the room, Wyatt Barnes said goodbye to his mother, Christina Lee, and left.
He went straight to Grand Elder Kayson Lee.
"Little guy, it seems we’re not due for our appointnt yet. Do you have sothing else in mind?"
Kayson Lee squinted at Wyatt Barnes, laughing and asking.
"Grand Elder, I ca here to ask you to help
refine so Pill dicines."
Wyatt Barnes explained his intention.
"Oh? Which Pill dicine do you want?"
Kayson Lee laughed.
"Thunderfire Pill."
Wyatt Barnes’s eyes narrowed, slowly speaking.
"Little guy, although the Thunderfire Pill is also a special pill for the Body Tempering Realm, it is much rarer than the Body Tempering Pill. Besides, I’ve only heard of this Thunderfire Pill, I don’t know how to make it."
Kayson Lee looked stupefied for a mont, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Grand Elder, if I provide you the pill formula, would you be able to refine it?"
Wyatt Barnes smiled nonchalantingly and asked.
"You... you’re going to give
the pill formula for the Thunderfire Pill?"
Already Kayson Lee’s breath beca rapid.
As an alchemist, his greatest wish is to be able to make various types of pill dicine. Through creating different pill dicines, he could gain different realizations and improve his alchemy skills.
Though he was a ninth rank alchemist, there were only a few kinds of pill dicine he could make...
"Yes."
Wyatt Barnes nodded.
"Is your teacher willing for you to pass on the Thunderfire Pill formula to ?"
Kayson Lee sucked in a deep breath and asked.
"My teacher said that I can do as I wish with the pill formulas he passed onto . Besides, this Thunderfire Pill, there are quite a few alchemists in the Cloud Skies Continent who know how to refine it, so it isn’t that rare."
Wyatt Barnes smiled.
Isn’t that rare?
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, a twitch ran through Kayson Lee’s mouth.
Although many alchemists could create the Thunderbolt Pill, wasn’t every one of them selfishly protective of their creations?
Even if they knew how to make it, they wouldn’t be willing to share it with others.
The formula for the Thunderbolt Pill, even in large cities, was sothing that had a price, yet no market.
The Thunderbolt Pill is a specific Pill dicine for Body Tempering Realm. Once taken, the body is subjected to the pain of thunder and fire striking against each other, thus stimulating the physical potential.
If combined with the Body Tempering Pill, the advancent in cultivation could even be twice as fast as only taking the Body Tempering Pill!
"Lad, thank you."
Kayson Lee suddenly stood up and deeply bowed towards Wyatt Barnes.
In an alchemist’s eyes, the formula for a rare Pill dicine was more important than their own life.
"Grand Elder, there’s no need to be so formal. I shared the formula with you out of my own self-interest, wanting you to help
create the Thunderbolt Pill. We’re just mutually benefiting from each other," Wyatt Barnes said, his brows slightly furrowing.
"That’s not how you should put it. My crafting of the Thunderbolt Pill rely consus so energy and Origin Force. The sacrifice I’m making is nothing compared to yours," Kayson Lee replied, shaking his head.
In his eyes, the value of the Thunderbolt Pill was too high. If it could be used on the Lee Family’s children...
The day when the Lee Family surpasses the Garcia Clan and the Chen Clan is not far away!
"If Grand Elder feels guilty, you can always give
more USD."
Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"You cheeky lad, always chasing after money. Don’t worry, I’ll discuss this with the family head. When the ti cos, you won’t be short on cash," scoffed Kayson Lee, yet a smile still ford on his face.
He was in slight disbelief as to how this youngster was so obsessed with money.
If Wyatt Barnes had heard Kayson Lee’s thoughts, he would have given him a stern glance...
Through the mory of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor, Wyatt Barnes knew, whether it’s alchemy, weapon refining, or Inscription, they all burn a hole in the pocket.
He is currently in the Body Tempering Realm, hence the expenses weren’t that high.
But once he breaks through to the Condensed Pill Realm and cultivates Origin Force, he would have to start alchemy and weapon refining.
By then, the materials required for alchemy and weapon refining would be nurous, one could even describe it as a bottomless pit.
Apart from alchemy and weapon refining, Inscription, which required Origin Force, would also require a ton of precious materials!
Thus, Wyatt Barnes is trying his best to save money now.
After writing down the formula for the Thunderbolt Pill and giving it to Grand Elder Kayson Lee, Wyatt Barnes bid farewell and left.
Before he left, he didn’t forget to remind Kayson Lee.
"Grand Elder, the materials for the Thunderbolt Pill; I’ll leave it to you. I’m too broke to afford them recently," he finished, then off he sprinted, leaving a bewildered Kayson Lee in his wake.
"This kid, he just took a thousand USD from
yesterday and he’s still crying poverty. Despite being young, he’s got no sha!"
Only after Wyatt Barnes had vanished from sight, did Kayson Lee curse with a grin on his face.
After leaving the residence of Grand Elder Kayson Lee, Wyatt Barnes imdiately returned ho and locked himself in his room, arranging the materials he and Keer had bought today.
These materials were all ant for his Inscription.
The ’Paralysis Inscription’ he used to defeat Hamza Lee last ti was only useful against practitioners under the Seventh-Order Body Tempering Realm. For those above the Seventh-Order, it was more or less like scratching an itch.
Wyatt Barnes planned to inscribe another Inscription, as a precaution for future troubles.
Should he fail to kill Strength Garcia with his own power in two and a half months, he would use this Inscription to accomplish the task!
"Strength Garcia, even if you are a Ninth-Order Body Tempering Realm practitioner, I will kill you!"
Thinking of the scene where Strength Garcia had hard him in the grand hall of the Lee Family that day, a surge of anger rose in Wyatt Barnes’ chest that took quite a while to calm down.
He and Strength Garcia were like fire and water, if Strength Garcia isn’t dead, he wouldn’t be at peace.
Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to start his Inscription.
"Wyatt!"
From outside the room, he heard Christina Lee’s sowhat anxious voice.
A hint of realisation dawned upon Wyatt Barnes, leading him to guess what’s happening.
A cold smile crept onto his face.
"The Garcia Clan sure is quick on their feet! But to have the audacity to confront us directly, they sure have thick skins," Wyatt muttered to himself.
"Mom, you were looking for ?"
Wyatt Barnes opened his room door and stepped out.
Christina Lee took a deep breath.
Since the Third Elder of the Garcia Clan had visited and accused her son of killing Pete Garcia, her emotions had been in turmoil. Even now, she hadn’t completely cald down.
Pete Garcia was a Sixth-Order Body Tempering Realm practitioner.
Her son killed him?
Wyatt Barnes had only just broken through to the Fourth-Order Body Tempering Realm today.
Under her series of inquiries.
Christina Lee learned from Wyatt Barnes about the ins and outs of everything that had happened.
She also learned that when Wyatt Barnes killed Pete Garcia, he’d used only one sword strike...
A Fourth-Order Body Tempering Realm practitioner killing a Sixth-Order one.
One strike, straight through the throat!
Christina Lee ca to fully understand the terror of her son’s ’Sword Drawing Technique’.
"Wyatt, why didn’t you tell
about sothing so major?"
Christina Lee shot her son a reproachful glance, feeling slightly unhappy.
"Mom, didn’t you not ask? Did the Garcia Clan’s folks co by?" Wyatt Barnes smiled awkwardly.
"Yes. The Third Elder of the Garcia Clan, Abel Garcia, and the manager of the Garcia Clan’s pharmacy, Wave Garcia, ca together. They want the family head to hand you over... Wyatt, don’t worry. Since we’re in the right, it doesn’t matter if only these two ca, even if the head of the Garcia Clan, Justice Garcia, personally cos, he can’t do anything to you!"
Christina Lee reassured Wyatt Barnes to put his heart at ease.
But she very quickly realised that Wyatt Barnes didn’t seem worried at all, he was even calr than she was.
As if she rembered sothing, her eyebrows furrowed and a shudder went down her spine.
"Logically speaking, this is Wyatt’s first ti killing soone. Why would he seem so calm?"
