chapter 6 Terrified Master Mu

In the grand hall of the Calvin family, the air was thick with the smell of blood. Several dismembered bodies lied scattered, blood flowing, bright red and striking. The North King, in his prime, had already traversed the 36 small steps of the Bitter Sea and walked in the grand hall, each step fraught with danger. Apart from the unconscious Samuel, all dozen or so disciples of the Fierce Sun Sect lay dead. Liam, with his clothes fluttering, didn't look sideways as he knelt heavily before Ellie, his voice choked with emotion, "Mother!" He possessed the royal bone. Respectful to none but his parents. "This is not a dream!" Ellie reached out and touched Liam's face, her scream piercing the air as she felt his real touch, "Liam, it really is you, get up!" Ellie helped Liam up, sobbing uncontrollably. Learning the truth about Liam becoming an outcast of the Sungarde Sect, Owen aged overnight, and how could she not be heartbroken? As a mother, all she wished for was Liam's safety and well-being. The reunion of mother and son was incredibly touching. "Xiao Nan, I heard that your Divine Bloodline was dissolved?" Henry, supported by his clansmen, looked shocked. Having managed the Calvin family's business for many years, his insights were not shallow. Liam, unblemished by blood, had single-handedly eliminated more than a dozen Sungarde Sect disciples, hinting at something significant to Henry. "Uncle, we'll talk about this later." Liam's gaze swept across the room. The members of the Calvin family, though injured by the Sungarde Sect disciples, were fortunately not gravely harmed. "Brother, you're finally back!" A graceful figure threw herself into Liam's arms, clinging to him tightly like a frightened deer. Since childhood, she had always been like a little tail following her brother. During these six years, she yearned for him day and night, and upon seeing her brother again, her tears overflowed. "Little girl." "Don't worry, with your brother here, no one will ever bully the Calvin family again." Liam affectionately stroked Lucy's head. Seeing a clump of her hair stained with blood reignited his suppressed rage. Her love for her beautiful, smooth hair since childhood, now violently torn by Samuel, must have caused her immense pain, both physically and mentally. "Brother, I'm fine. Seeing you, I'm not afraid of anything anymore." Lucy peeked out, causing Liam's heart to wrench. "Lord Wang, how should we deal with this man?" At that moment, James approached, pointing to the unconscious Samuel. "He's still useful. Let's spare his dog life for now." Liam's eyes turned icy cold. Benjamin backed Samuel’s marriage coercion. But no matter his anger, he needed to first ensure his family's safety. The fact that the Sungarde Sect disciples caused trouble without his father's intervention worried him deeply. "Brother, Uncle has invited a distinguished guest who is treating our father. Let me take you to him." Seeing Liam's expression, Lucy quickly said. After arranging for Ellie to rest, Liam left the great hall. Calvin Mansion, the separate courtyard. In the ancient-style room, brightly lit by lamps. A middle-aged man with a determined face and graying hair lay on the bed. His eyes were tightly shut, his face pale, and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth stained the bedding. "The Sungarde Sect went too far." "They shattered Owen's extraordinary meridians and even severed his right arm." An elderly man with white hair and beard stood in front of the bed, sighing. He was Mason Wood, an Earth Level Alchemist. His alchemy was profound, capable of concocting Earth Martial Realm elixirs. He was highly respected in the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty and known as Master Wood. Being an alchemist, he was naturally versed in medicine. Invited by the Calvin family, he came to treat Owen. He had administered the precious Pulse-Prolonging Elixir to Owen, but he could not heal the severed arm. "Teacher." "A single Pulse-Prolonging Elixir is worth a fortune, enough to clear your debt to the Calvin family." Anna Smiths, in a green dress, stepped forward impatiently, "Better leave quickly, to avoid the Calvin family's persistent entanglement." "Persistent entanglement?" Mason fell silent upon hearing this. In his youth, he had received favors from the Calvin family. He was well aware of the Calvin family's intentions in inviting him. Besides treating Owen, they also hoped he would take Lucy as his disciple, using his name to revitalize the Calvin family. "That girl indeed has remarkable talent." "But with the Calvin family's decline and the Sungarde Sect disciples causing trouble..." Thinking of this, Mason shook his head. With his current status, he had no shortage of people wishing to become his disciples. Why entangle himself further with the Calvin family? For him to personally come here was already a big honor. "Creak!" As Mason pondered, the door was pushed open, and a line of people entered one after the other. "You should know my rules," Mason said. Irritated by the interruption, Mason's expression turned cold. "Master Wood, we didn't mean to disturb, but my nephew is concerned about his father's safety..." Henry carefully offered a sheepish smile. "Is this Liam?" "The once-celebrated genius of yesteryears?" Mason was slightly taken aback, watching Liam approach the bed. "Father!" Liam stared at the man on the bed as if struck by lightning. The father he remembered, tall and heroic, had become this frail figure. Especially the empty right arm, which caused Liam's heart to ache painfully, as if his blood was flowing backwards, wishing he could turn back time. This man. How much suffering he must have endured in the Sungarde Sect. "I will remember this debt." Liam exhaled a murky breath, reaching out to touch his father's forehead. "Hey." "You, the young Calvin, do you think your medical skills can surpass my teacher's?" Anna raised her eyebrows, her words sharp, "He is an Earth Level Alchemist!" Having come to the Calvin family with her teacher, she naturally heard of Liam's deeds. A castaway from the Sungarde Sect, his future seemed to be lost among the masses. Liam remained silent. But Owen let out a muffled groan, his dormant vitality surging. "Teacher." "Congratulations, your Alchemy has improved further." "Your Pulse-Prolonging Elixir now has the effect of regenerating vitality." Anna was surprised at first, then broke into joyful laughter. The stronger her teacher's Alchemy, the higher her status naturally rose. "That is..." Mason's pupils contracted sharply. From his angle, he could clearly see the light flickering in Liam's palm. That was a power surpassing the Bitter Sea, pure and flawless, capable of cutting mountains and cleansing the mortal body. "Could that be the Essence of the Transcendent Realm?" Mason was petrified on the spot. Transcendence. Capable of being a king in the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, cutting through armies single-handedly. In the history of the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, how could there be such a young Transcendence? No, wait! There is! At this moment, Liam waved his hand, and a rounded pill appeared out of thin air, placing it into Owen's mouth. Shortly after. The comatose Owen groaned, his complexion visibly turning rosy, his veins surfacing like dragons, his blood roaring powerfully. "Supreme Pulse-Prolonging Elixir!" Mason swayed, overwhelmed with shock. The Pulse-Prolonging Elixir belonged to the Earth Level. He could craft it, but it contained many impurities. This was an insurmountable problem for all Earth Level Alchemists in the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty. To craft the Supreme Pulse-Prolonging Elixir required a Heaven Level Alchemist. Alchemy is an art. Mastery in this art requires experience, more difficult than advancing in martial arts, making Heaven Level Alchemists even rarer than Transcendents. In the vast Red Dragon Martial Dynasty. Whether there are any Heaven Level Alchemists is still uncertain. And yet, Liam had produced a Supreme Pulse-Prolonging Elixir. The creation of pills out of thin air was due to a ring on Liam's finger. Universe Ring! Containing a world within, rumored to be a relic left by the gods on the Spiritspell Continent. Across the entire Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, those Cultivators who possessed a Universe Ring were extremely rare. "He, he really is..." Mason stared at Liam's retreating figure, feeling a chill running down his spine. A Prodigy of the Calvin family. Not broken, but soaring even higher like a great Peng bird! "Sister, you guys leave first, I need to regenerate father's arm." Liam turned around, speaking to Lucy. "Regenerate an arm?" Lucy was momentarily stunned. "Giggle!" Anna laughed coquettishly, her body trembling, “Kid, who do you think you are? Even Heaven Level Alchemists cannot regenerate a severed limb, let alone bone." Slap! A loud slap landed on Anna's face, leaving a bright red handprint clearly visible. "Tea... Teacher?" Seeing Mason's ashen face, Anna was bewildered. She was clever, having been doted on by Mason since joining his school. Why would her teacher suddenly become angry? "Wretched disciple, kneel down now!" Mason, his beard and hair fluttering, was almost fainting with rage. This was the most astonishing and charismatic North King in the history of the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, supported by brave and fierce generals, with immense power and influence. Anna failed to notice the Supreme Pulse-Prolonging Elixir and the Universe Ring. Not only that, but she dared to mock and ridicule? As an Earth Level Alchemist, she was nothing in the presence of the North King. The North King had many talented individuals skilled in arts and sciences under his command. "Teacher..." Anna, feeling wronged, bit her lip and knelt before Mason as instructed. "I told you to kneel before him!" Furious, Mason gritted his teeth, leaving Anna stunned once more. Lucy and others, who were about to leave the room, also froze in their tracks. Why would Master Wood, who enjoys great prestige in the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, show such respect to Liam?
