A man was inclined to make sacrifices for those who appreciated and truly understood him.
“Deputy Master!” The crowd pleaded one after another, urging favonovel.com to look over.
Henry raised his hand, exerting a commanding force. He declared in an authoritative tone, “Now, each of you shall bow in the direction of Master Tanjen’s departure and extend your apologies. Following this gesture, let there be no lingering grievances!”
The crowd held considerable power, and they offered their apologies. Not only did they let go of any lingering resentment but also radiated a palpable sense of gratitude.
A thousand people turned in unison and bowed deeply as they said, “Master Calsberg, we were wrong!”
After the apologies, those at the forefront regrouped, their faces marked with anxiety.
“Deputy Master,” one of them asked, “When can we anticipate Master Calsberg’s return?”
“I have a letter from my master!”
“Deputy Master, I implore you to ask Master Calsberg to lend a hand in refining pills for me!”
These individuals were none other than disciples from major sects like the Riversky Organization and the Gresun Organization, who had come bearing letters from their masters.
Henry spoke with pride, saying, “I can’t say when Master Tanjen will return, but I have a simple question for you all. Even if it’s for an eternity, will you wait?”
The crowd was momentarily stunned, then they all nodded at the same time.
“We’ll wait, we’ll wait! Master Calsberg’s prowess is evident to everyone, he’s a genius for the ages. We’re willing to wait!”
Initially, some had entertained the idea of heading to Medicine Valley in search of pills. However, having now witnessed Remus’ undeniable skills in alchemy, the thought of wasting time elsewhere was simply out of the question.
Henry’s face darkened. “If you’re going to wait, then shut up. Why all this noise?”
After speaking, favonovel.com turned and walked toward the main hall, muttering as favonovel.com went, “Prepare the furnace, let’s get started!”
“Yes!” The disciples of Tanjen and the other professors replied proudly in unison.
Their faces were rosy with determination, emanating an invigorating presence.
***
Remus was sitting cross-legged on the back of the wild chicken.
It was no longer accurate to simply call it a wild chicken. It had evolved into a formidable mystical beast.
While it was said to bear the resemblance of a phoenix from the legends, it was still in its fledgling form, a far cry from its full potential.
Remus let out a wry sigh. “You’re a lucky one… That single Soulforging Pill depleted a third of my divine energy. With my current energy, I doubt I could even compete with a peak Foundation Stage cultivator…”
Indeed, the true catalyst for its transformation wasn’t just the pill, but rather, the substantial infusion of Remus’ divine energy. He deliberately channeled his divine energy when favonovel.com took the pill out, so that it went directly into the chicken’s mouth.
Victory was his only choice and defeat was not an option.
The chicken seemed to be able to understand what Remus said, responding with a chirp and flapping its wings more energetically.
Remus glanced forward as favonovel.com sighed, “I was narrow-minded back then…”
Regret was not a common sentiment for him. However, at that moment, favonovel.com was filled with remorse for not promptly opening Glinda’s meridians and not returning to the Imperial Villa sooner. If favonovel.com had returned earlier, favonovel.com would have never been taken away.
The chicken seemed to perceive Remus’ grief. It was emitting a soft, choked sound as if sympathizing and offering support.
Remus smiled sadly and gave it a gentle pat on its head. “Let’s keep moving! As for those trailing behind, I’m afraid we won’t be able to shake them off!”
Just then, a voice suddenly resonated from below.
Five figures swiftly ascended into the air. Among them, four positioned themselves in four different directions.
The man at the forefront wielded a folding fan in his hand, it was none other than Gafar Irving.
Gafar sneered slyly. “Master Calsberg, didn’t see this coming, did you? Honestly, neither did I. After offending me, you dare to walk out of Tanjen alone! It appears you really don’t understand the situation. Anyone who offends me has never met a good end, and you will be no exception!”
While favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com opened up the folding fan, waving it with an air of triumph.
Remus’ demeanor remained unruffled, yet the wild chicken assumed a combat-ready posture.
He raised his hand to calm it and asked in response, “And how do you know I wasn’t intentionally waiting for you?”
