Death… And Me

Chapter 3013: That's Not Going To Happen



Ernan finally brought up the thing he was most curious about. He brought a pill, one of the Foundation Establishment Breakthrough Pills that Roan concocted and put it in front of Kuslau and Rean. "This pill is very different from the ones made here in our Gondel Clan. At first, I had no interest in it since it was just a pill for idiots to consume instead of increasing their cultivation properly."

"However," he continued, "after I found out you were Asterix and that you were making some deals with my disciple, I had to check it myself. This pill is absolutely superb. Suzumaki believes you were getting this from Kuslau, so I ask. Kuslau, was it really you who provided these pills to Rean? Very few alchemists here in our clan could possibly reach this level, and the pills they make would be different."

Kuslau glanced at Rean for a moment, who just bitterly smiled at him. Well, he had come this far, so Kuslau didn't deny it. "Let's just say I can't tell you much about this issue. Why is that? Does Elder Ernan need a pill as well?"

"This pill explains how your disciple went from the Energy Gathering Realm to the Core and Soul Fusion Realm so quickly. And from what I can feel with my Spiritual Sense, his

foundation isn't that bad. It is a little shaky, obviously due to the pills, but it is definitely fixable. It also explains why you are sending him to the Cleansing Spiritual Pond. He could get his foundation reinforced there," Ernan explained.

Kuslau shrugged. "You said it yourself. It is not like our own alchemists can't make a similar- level pill. Why the sudden interest?"

"That's because the materials used to make this one are truly cheap," Ernan finally brought the main point out. "Our Gondel Clan can make such pills at the same level, even if made differently. However, there is no way we could do it with such materials. From what Elder Tuffin said, he wouldn't even give it a try as it was simply impossible with his skills."

"Is that so?" Kuslau asked back, but his eyes were on Rean instead. He knew that Elder Tuffin was one of the top Alchemists in the Clan.

Rean complained to Roan. 'Did you have to make such perfect pills? Couldn't you have held back a little bit?'

Roan snorted in response. 'Do you call those pieces of garbage perfect? I almost had to give myself a beating just to convince myself to give them for sale. If I had the right materials and equipment, this pill he is showing you wouldn't even be considered a pill at all.'

Rean sighed in response. So Roan did hold back... it's just that his kind of 'holding back' was still divine in comparison to the alchemists in this Clan. Well, he was an alchemist at the Legendary Level, after all. He still is. It's just that he doesn't have the cultivation to create such pills at the moment.

"Unfortunately, I truly can't tell you much." Kuslau stopped Rean's train of thought. "What I can tell you is that I don't have access to these pills anymore. If Elder Ernan wishes to know more about it, you will have to ask Elder Dancio."

Ernan narrowed his eyes. He supported Willot, while Kuslau supported Dancio. Obviously, Dancio had no obligation to tell him anything, nor would he. However, it wasn't like Ernan didn't have a plan. "Are you sure? If I bring this pill to the Clan Master, even he will have to admit this pill is of great importance to our Clan. At that moment, Dancio and you will have to tell the truth."

"This..." Kuslau didn't have an answer for that.

However, Rean definitely did. "Master, there is no point hiding it anymore. Even though I was the one who found that Jade Slip, it was you who made it possible to follow the instructions to make those pills. Instead of hiding, let's have Elder Dancio come forward and provide the recipes. That sure will increase his chances to become the next Clan Master by a lot."

Ernan's mouth twitched. That wasn't what he was planning.

As for Kuslau... 'Jade Slip? What Jade Slip? How come I've never heard about it before?' He thought to himself.

It was then that Rean's Spiritual Message reached him. 'Do you remember how I asked to check your database for information regarding herbs and alchemy? That's why I asked it. My brother, who is good at alchemy, was the one who made these pills. I can pass you the Jade Slip we found back in our village.'

'Just how many things were you hiding from me?' Kuslau asked back, obviously angry.

'Just follow the script,' Rean insisted. 'Tell him something like: We didn't brought this issue up because we weren't certain about the effects of those recipes. Or whatever master finds to be a better choice.'

Kuslau sighed and decided to follow the plan. There was no way back now. "My disciple found a jade Slip that contained these recipes. I went to his village with him in secret and checked the area where he found it. Unfortunately, there was nothing there. Simply put, we have no idea from where the Jade Slip came from. The only reason we haven't reported about it yet was because we didn't know about the side effects of such pills. That's why I had my disciple sell these pills to the disciples with very low talent and cultivation. In any case, I will need to talk to Dancio about it."

Ernan pondered a bit and nodded. "Then you better have him come forward as soon as possible. Also, can I get a copy of this Jade Slip?"

"That's not going to happen," It was then that another voice echoed in the room. Right after, an old man appeared in the room like a ghost, surprising everyone.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Master!" Kuslau quickly bowed to him, seeming to already expect his presence. Sure enough, that was Dancio.
