"Boy, is that you again? Get in here!" Elder Drew said as soon as he heard the voice of the Holy Son.
Only then did Austin realize that the Holy Son of the Magic Hand Sect was named Xavier.
Soon, Xavier cin with Winnie, the Holy Daughter of the New Moon Sect, and Isis.
After the three entered the hall, they saw the messy looks of Elder Drew and Austin. All of them cast the two odd stares. Well, how could you not? Elder Drew's clothes were burnt in splaces, and spart of it were ripped due to the explosion that happened.
There were also traces of dirt and black soot on his face, and hair was all mangled and singed in places.
As for Austin, though he had already changed into new clothes, his face was still covered with colorful powder which were made by the pill refining smoke. His hair also looked wild and was giving off a burnt smell.
To be fair, there were almost two hundred kinds of high grade herbs and beast core essences in the herbal pot. With the power that held, it was really bound to explode.
Austin guessed that such an explosive power was enough to blow up a Master Realm master into pieces. . . .

"Shut it, Xavier. What elixir do you want fromthis time?" Elder Drew replied coldly. He was in a bad mood because he had failed to refine the Power-strengthening Pill.
It really was a bad tfor Xavier to ask him a favor.
"This friend of mine has suffered immense damage to her spiritual soul. | would like to ask you, Elder Drew, to make a Soul-healing Elixir for her.
We have already prepared all the herbs that you will need, including the remuneration," Xavier said cautiously. He did not want to make Elder Drew unhappier than he already was.
"What? You wantto refine an elixir for an outsider? Xavier, if this was for you, | would do it in a heartbeat. You are the Holy Son of our sect, for crying out loud! But how—tell me—how could an outsider be qualified to askto refine an elixir for her?" he asked, his crazy eyes becoming crazier by the second. It seemed that the request really upset him.
Xavier was stunned and was left speechless. "Tsk, tsk. Now go. I'm not available. I'm busy.
Go! Get away!" Drew was very impatient and waved his hand to drive away the visitors.
As he turned around, he took out the jade which contained the elixir formula of the Power-strengthening Pill and began to study it again.
This crazy old man seemed to want to continue to try and refine the Power-strengthening Pill! Austin, however, was not up for it anymore. The memory of the explosions that happened a while ago sent a chill down his spine and made his legs wobble. . . .
Xavier had not expected that Drew would refuse him so directly, and so was stunned for a moment and stayed still with a very embarrassed expression on his face.
When Austin saw that, he could not help but chuckle silently.
Drew had already failed to refine a Power-strengthening Pill twice now, and so it was understandable why he was in such an extremely terrible mood. In the face of such failure, how would he be able to face other people with a smile on his face? Xavier barging in here with strangers just to demand for an elixir felt to him like bumping into the muzzle of a gun then it being fired without any kind of reason.
"Hello, Master Drew.
My master Harmony Luo askedto present her respect to you," Winnie, the Holy Daughter of the New Moon Sect, suddenly chimed in. She cforward and gave Drew a salute, humble and polite.
"What? Your master is Harmony Luo?" Drew asked, visibly stunned. Instantly, however, he realized why she had disclosed that. He was about to ask something when Winnie spoke.
"Yes, it was her who askedto cto you, Master Drew, to ask you to refine the elixir.
My master once toldthat there are only a few pill refiners who could refine such an elixir as they are the real masters in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom when it comes to their alchemy skills.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe toldthat you are one of them," Winnie said, her voice sweet, soft and honest.
This voice was totally different from the voice she had been using in day-to-day, which was indifferent and noble with an inaccessible temperament. Much like the fairy in the sky.
In order to get what she chere for, Winnie made sure that she was presenting herself as someone who was gentle and obedient in front of her predecessors.
Austin observed her carefully, and was greatly amazed by her performance. Women were really good at performing.
"Ha-ha, that's just Harmony givingtoo much praise," Drew replied, now visibly in a good mood. With a huge smile on his lips, he rubbed his hand together for a while.
He looked like a child who had been praised by a very important person.
"Harmony... how is she nowadays?" he suddenly asked, his expression changing. The tone of his voice suddenly turned into concern. A rare glint tenderness also appeared on his face.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Drew. My master is in good health," Winnie answered, smiling softly.
Austin was totally shocked at this.
'Was there any kind of affair between this mad old man and Winnie's master?'. . ..
"Well, since you are a disciple of Harmony, then you are not an outsider, | guess.
I'll do you the favor," Drew said, finally agreeing to refine the elixir for Winnie.
"Thank you, Master Drew," Winnie quickly said as she heard this. Joy colored her face, and she hastened to salute and thank the old master.
