After Mr. Hunt left, Theodore gave all the low-grade Energy Cultivating Pills to Callum before heading to the guest room. Although these low-grade pills were beneficial to Theodore, he still had the middle and high-grade pills, which were more useful for breaking into the Energy Refinement Stage. In comparison, the low-grade pills were much more useful to Callum. If Callum could reach the Energy Refinement Stage, then Yardley Manor's position would be much more secure. When Theodore arrived at the guest room, his sister was chatting away with the visitor—she was none other than the lady in white, whom he bumped into at the herb market. Seeing Theodore had arrived, Liliana ran up to him. "Big Brother, this lady says she can help us." Theodore smiled and stroked her head. "Liliana, go see Grandpa. He says he has a gift for you." "Alright," she replied before running off. Before she left, she even remembered to shut the door. Theodore sat opposite the lady in white. "What ar

"You don't have to know who I am. You just need to know that I'm giving you a chance to join Heaven's Reach Academy," said Marie."Such a great deal is hard to believe. If it's true…then my eyes must be fooling me," said Theodore."The way you speak reminds me of Vivienne. How interesting." Marie put away the badge, still smiling. "You're right. Joining Heaven's Reach Academy isn't that simple. If you want this badge or the chance to cultivate in the inner sanctum, then you need to earn that right. I wonder if you have what it takes?" Theodore understood what she was implying. "So you want to know why Yardley Manor has two more Innate Grandmasters, and how I managed to reach the Innate Realm within such a short period?" Marie nodded and waited for his answer. Theodore silently pulled out a jade bottle and shook out a pill. "Energy Cultivating Pill. Middle-grade." This time, Marie was no longer as calm and composed as before. She got up, about to snatch the pill from his han

Seeing how she had gone speechless, Theodore said, "You seem to be pretty close to Vivienne." "We're just acquaintances. I came here a few years ago, and I would occasionally stay with the Ashcrofts. That's how I got to know her," Marie explained.By now, her attitude had changed completely. Her tone even became softer. "Do you really know pill refinement? Can you refine pills without relying on spiritual energy?" she asked. "That's right," replied Theodore. "The conditions are stricter, of course." "You said you inherited the method from your ancestor. That must've been a joke, right?" "Do I look like I'm joking?" asked Theodore.Given the Yardleys' background, how could they possibly possess alchemy methods that belong to immortals?When he realized Marie's questions wouldn't stop there, Theodore explained, "My ancestor was once an immortal, but something happened to our family, hence why we are no longer immortals. I stumbled upon this method by accident. I even found o

Had it been before, Marie would have turned and left. What was Theodore's problem? What gave him the right to act this cocky?Now, however, Marie did not dare to do this. There were only a handful of high-level alchemists in the Kingdom of Avelon, and Theodore was able to perform the Pill Inversion Technique before he even reached the Energy Refinement Stage. Once he broke through and started refining pills officially, it was possible that he would become a high-level alchemist. If word of this got out, it had the potential to cause a sensation across the kingdom. The four immortal sects would undoubtedly scramble to recruit him. As long as his conditions were not too excessive, they would probably agree to his demands. A wave of embarrassment swept over Marie as she clutched the Heaven's Reach Badge. Gone was her arrogance from before. Compared to what the immortal sects could provide, the Heaven's Reach Badge that she was offering was barely worth anything at all. Before

Marie's eyes went wide with disbelief. She couldn't believe that Theodore would reject her so bluntly. Given her status, he should know how rare such a proposal was. And yet, Theodore couldn't have been more straightforward in his rejection. It dealt a massive blow to Marie's self-esteem. For the first time in her life, someone said no to her.If news of her rejection hit the streets, no one would believe that the dignified Marie Summers would be rejected, especially given how she had taken the initiative.Seeing the blank expression on Marie's face, Theodore couldn't be bothered to give her an explanation. He turned her down not because he didn't find her attractive, but because of the arrogance in her eyes. She looked at him as if she were looking at a country bumpkin.Throughout their conversation, they barely made any eye contact. It was as if she was being forced to look at a country bumpkin. In her eyes were only the things that she wanted from him. This was what The

"Get up." Theodore beckoned for Marie to stand up. She got up and poured a cup of tea for Theodore. Had Charles Ashcroft been present, his eyes would have popped out of their sockets. The dignified princess from the Capitol pouring tea for Theodore Yardley, whom he looked down on? Theodore, on the other hand, felt there was nothing wrong with the gesture. He lifted the cup as a matter of course, took a sip, and set it back on the table. "You should be close to reaching the Energy Refinement Stage, right?" he asked. "Sir, I'll tell you the truth. I will reach the Energy Refinement Stage very soon," replied Marie as she refilled his cup. She was testing his reaction, which was neither overly humble nor arrogant. It confirmed her belief that she had not misjudged him. "Are you able to sense the spiritual essence of different herbs?" asked Theodore."Yes, sir," Marie replied with a nod. "I have a natural disposition for spiritual herbs, so I've been practicing alchemy in s
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 50
Upon entering the cave dwelling, the man arrived at the alchemy room.Soon, he discovered that the pills were missing from the room. His eyes, which were hidden behind a mask, began to gleam brilliantly.With a subtle "clink", the man unsheathed a long sword from his waist. Its blade was blood red, shrouded in a layer of black mist. The moment it was unsheathed, the temperature in the room dropped by a few degrees."Show yourself!" he yelled hoarsely. He scanned his surroundings vigilantly, but no one came. Even so, he did not lower his guard and continued moving around with calculated steps.Only after twenty minutes and he had confirmed there was no one in the cave dwelling did he re-sheath his sword. He rubbed his chin, seemingly in contemplation.After a long time, he returned to the alchemy room.He stayed there for an hour; while he was inside, there was a constant buzzing noise. The room was lit up by a dazzling light that lasted for a long time before fading away slowly

"Don't tell me, you're here for the relics too?" asked Theodore unhappily."Yes, but… I don't know if you know this, but rumor has it that the ancient cultivators actually came in search of a treasure. It led to a massive battle at Azure Dragon Peak, which turned into a final resting place for countless cultivators. The monsters that got wiped out were merely collateral casualties from the battle," explained Marie. "What kind of treasure do you mean?" Theodore asked again; he subconsciously reached for the hilt of the Dark Sword at his waist. "It's rumored to be an alchemy furnace that fell from the sky," Marie replied. "From the sky, you say?" Theodore withdrew his hand from the hilt. For a moment, he thought the treasure would be his sword."Yes. When it fell from the sky, it created a massive crater in the forest. The area within a few miles of the impact burned for weeks." "So, you're here in search of the furnace?" "It's not just me. Every ten years, immortals will com

Everyone was left stunned, especially Silas, who was still clinging to the cliffside. Watching Theodore leap into the lava, he had no idea what came over him, but in the next moment, he followed and jumped in too.The two cultivators from the Soaring Dragon Sect turned pale. They didn't dare jump after him and could only watch in horror as Silas plunged into the molten abyss, vanishing in the blink of an eye."What the hell are we supposed to do now? How do we explain this when we get back?" one of them asked, his face ashen."There's nothing to explain," someone said coldly. "We all say the same thing. He lost his footing and fell. End of story."Even Jeffrey hadn't expected the monk to be that reckless."Exactly. Both of them slipped. There's nothing we could do," added Hugh, the Dark Brotherhood disciple.The other three major sect representatives stayed silent. This wasn't exactly good news to them, but it wasn't bad news either.With Jeffrey and Hugh quickly slipping a few

Theodore surveyed the area and realized there was barely enough space to walk along the sides of the tunnel, but they would have to hug the wall. One misstep, and they would fall straight down.That unnatural red glow was clearly coming from the molten lava below, but this wasn't just any lava. No normal magma glowed like that."If I fall in there, I'll be incinerated instantly," Theodore muttered, his expression grim. Even with his body protected by sword force, he wouldn't last a second in that hellfire.Just then, he noticed something on the opposite wall. A figure in a black robe was already carefully inching along the narrow ledge, hugging the rock. The person had made it quite a distance already. Glancing across the gap, Theodore saw another tunnel on the far side."Well, aren't you sneaky," Theodore called out with a smirk."Cut the crap. If you don't want to die, stay back," the robed figure rasped.That voice belonged to Lynette.Naturally, Theodore didn't listen. He tu

As soon as Theodore stepped into the rift, his face was bathed in a strange red glow. Oddly enough, the light didn't spill out past the rift. It was like something was blocking it right at the entrance.Feeling the heat from that red glow, Theodore immediately knew there had to be an Exotic Flame inside. No ordinary fire could emit something this eerie.He had just taken a few steps when he heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw Silas following close behind.Theodore shot him an annoyed glare. "You really don't care about dying, do you, kid?""I'm scared," Silas replied quietly, keeping his head down. "But since you had the guts to come in, I figured I should too.""I've barely got ten percent of my spiritual power left. I'm injured and barely hanging on. I've got enough to worry about without looking after you," Theodore muttered as he walked."No need to worry about me," Silas said with a smile. "You just do what you need to do, Senior. I won't hold you back.""I h
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 97
That said, Theodore wasn't lying either. If the Cinder Fiend really absorbed the Exotic Flame inside, it would definitely evolve into the Sunbane Fiend. When that happened, the entire Kingdom of Avelon could be reduced to ashes.It was just that the moment wouldn't come quite so soon."So, what do we do now?" Marie was completely at a loss."You stay here. I'll go in with the others," Theodore said. "They're planning to send people in, right? You should recommend me.""Why are you so set on going in?" Marie asked, curious."I want the treasure too," Theodore replied. "What if I'm the chosen one? Wouldn't that be my big break?"Marie rolled her eyes, but she chose to believe him.She immediately took Theodore to the main camp where the major factions were still debating over who to send into the rift.No one was willing to volunteer. After all, they had all seen the Cinder Fiend's power during the day. Against that thing, Energy Refinement Stage cultivators had no chance. They w

Inside the camp, cultivators from the various sects were puzzled by what they had just witnessed. They immediately dispatched several people to investigate. It didn't take long before a report came back."The fissure in the mountain has indeed begun to close, but there's still a gap wide enough to fit three people. There's a faint red glow coming from inside."The leading cultivators from each sect began discussing what to do next. Marie also went to eavesdrop on the meeting and didn't return for nearly an hour."They're planning to head into the mountain to investigate," Marie said when she came back."Idiots. They're throwing their lives away for treasure. If they run into that Cinder Fiend in there, they'll be reduced to ash."Hearing this, Theodore chuckled and said, "Do you know why the Cinder Fiend returned to the mountain after night fell?"Marie blinked, surprised. "You know why?"Theodore stepped out of the tent and pointed up at the moon. "Because of that.""The moon?
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 95
The Cinder Fiend was born from absorbing the fire of heaven and earth. If it managed to absorb the Exotic Flame within that fissure, it would evolve into something far more terrifying—a Sunbane Fiend.And once a Sunbane Fiend was unleashed, everything within a hundred miles would be scorched to ashes.Forget Azure Dragon Peak. If that thing emerged, the entire city of Philodorah could be reduced to cinders. The Yardleys wouldn't even need the Dark Brotherhood to wipe them out. This creature alone could do it."This Cinder Fiend seems to be under some kind of restriction. If we can figure out its weakness, we might be able to get inside that fissure," Theodore said, his eyes fixed on the mountain.Marie stared at him in disbelief. "Are you insane?! Didn't you see those cultivators just now? They were vaporized before they could even react!""I saw." Theodore nodded. "If things go south, we leave immediately. I'm not stupid enough to throw my life away."That reassured Marie a litt
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 94
From a distance, the entire mountain looked like it was ablaze. Strangely, though, a massive fissure had split the mountain open, and the blinding red light was pouring out from within that crack.The massive beast stood at the summit, letting out a series of thunderous roars. Even though they were over half a mile away, both Theodore and Marie could feel the sheer, overwhelming pressure in those cries.“A Cinder Fiend!”Theodore swallowed hard as he stared at the creature. “With that kind of aura, it's at least a Grade Three beast.”“Grade Three?”Marie’s face turned pale. “That’s basically on par with the Core Ascension Stage, isn’t it?”In the realm of cultivators, becoming an immortal meant ascending beyond the mundane. The growth in stages was Energy Refinement, Foundation Establishment, and Core Ascension.Once someone reached the Core Ascension Stage, they could control an Aetherblade and even kill an enemy a thousand miles away with a single slash. Marie had never even s

"Huh?" Theodore looked at her, puzzled. "You've come to Azure Dragon Peak so many times. Wasn't it all for this treasure? If you miss it now, wouldn't that be a huge waste?""To me, you are the greatest treasure," Marie said softly, her cheeks flushing red again.Theodore gave a wry smile. "Then, I'll go with you. I may be injured, but I can still hold my own. Besides, I've got someone watching over me in secret."Hearing that, Marie suddenly thought of the mysterious cultivator in black. That finally put her mind at ease. "Who was that person, anyway?""I told you. I inherited my ancestor's legacy. That person is its guardian. But unless things get really dire, she won't intervene," Theodore explained.Since Marie had shown enough goodwill, he figured it was only right to be a little more forthcoming. If they were going to keep working together, she deserved some peace of mind."Was that sword technique you used part of the legacy, too?" Marie asked."It was." Theodore nodded.
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 92
Marie's expression darkened. If it were the old Vivienne who had said such a thing, she would've brushed it off as immature nonsense. However, the Vivienne standing before her now was a completely different person.She had mastered the Primordial Technique, become the heir to a sect, and held significant influence within the Dark Brotherhood. If she truly rose to the position of sect leader one day, war between the Dark Brotherhood and the Kingdom of Avelon's royal family would be inevitable.Frankly, the royal family wouldn't have the upper hand. Sure, they controlled Heaven's Reach Academy, but if it came down to an all-out war, not every cultivator in the academy would necessarily side with the crown."Three years from now, maybe it'll be the Dark Brotherhood that's wiped off the map," Theodore replied in a steady voice.He was confident that in three years, he would be able to crush Vivienne and perhaps even the entire Dark Brotherhood.The cultivators from Dark Brotherhood fr
