Although the failure of Ivy Media Group’s Starry Girls was unpleasant news to Stuart, it did not botherhim because his legs had fully recovered. He had no problem walking, so this was tremendously good
news.
Stuart had never doubted Tyrael Skyworth’s medical skills.
Therefore, he bought many gifts to be sent to Tyrael.
Although he had recovered from his injuries, Stuart did not forget the grudge between him and Alex.
He was the heir of the Nixon family and came to the insignificant Nebula City. Therefore, it was atremendous humiliation when a loser like Alex broke his legs.
Of course, he could not let the matter go.
He had called a large team of bodyguards from Summerbank. These bodyguards were mercenaries hisfamily hired from Brecknock. They had towering figures and were skilled in combat.
Stuart was confident that he could break all of Alex’s limbs the next time they met.
Furthermore, he also planned to cuckold Alex.
Heather was a beautiful woman. Even though she was now a mother, her beauty was still unrivaled.Therefore, he planned to have some fun with her.
While Stuart was planning his revenge, Alex taught Auriel to make elixirs.
All this while, regardless it was combat skills training or learning about medicine, Auriel worked hard onall of them. Therefore, Alex changed his mind and decided to teach her how to make elixirs.
He did not have many rare herbs, as he had used them up for his Alchemy training. Still, he had quite alot of common herbs. Thus, Auriel could use them for her practice.
Although Auriel was talented, making elixirs required practice. She attempted more than ten timesunder Alex’s guidance, but none of her attempts were successful.
Auriel had a good understanding of the functions and properties of medicine. However, she was notfamiliar with using Mortal Force to control fire temperature. Her flames were either too strong or tooweak. She practiced more than ten times and failed more than ninety percent of the time. Most of thetime, she could not control the intensity of her flame and burned the elixir. In the few times when shedid
not burn the elixir, it turned into an unusable paste.
Still, Alex was impressed to see that Auriel remained eager to learn despite a series of failures. Shewas not discouraged.
As Auriel burned another batch of elixir, Alex received a call from Maggie.
He pressed to answer it, and instantly, Maggie’s clear and melodious voice appeared “Mr. Jefferson, wehave purple ginseng of the highest grade for auction tonight. It has been certified to be a thousandyears old. Initially, I planned to purchase it directly from the owner to gift you. However, the ownerrefused and insisted on auctioning it. Do you want to come here to have a look at it?”
A thousand-year-old purple ginseng?
Alex was overjoyed at the news because a thousand-year-old purple ginseng was an ingredient of thehighest grade. It was even more effective than the Wild Thousand-Year Ginseng Alex used to make Pillof Longevity. Furthermore, apart from making Pill of Longevity, he could also use the thousand-year-oldpurple ginseng to make Big Pill of Cultivation.
Nowadays, he needed to consume Big Pill of Cultivation to increase his Mortal Force. Since he did nothave the materials to make the pill, he could only depend on training to raise his Mortal Force afterreaching the Master rank.
“What time is the auction tonight? I’ll stop by to have a look,” Alex asked.
“It’s eight o’clock tonight. I’ll pick you up.” Maggie replied.
“No need. I can go there by myself.” Alex refused Maggie’s kind gesture.
He did not like to owe anyone favor. Furthermore, he sensed that Maggie seemed to have feelings forhim beyond a collaboration partner. Therefore, he wanted to avoid being indebted to her.
