15 Strange Golden Aura

''That.. Young Master, it is a long story. On my Journey here I ventured into the woods after seeing a rare beast, however I unfortunately got hit by a strange plant venom. Even with my cultivation base it caused my body to feel lethargic and I was slowly using my strength.''

''Luckily we ran into Hamilton, he was travelling through the woods for what seems like medicinal herbs. Luckily he had a Rank 5 Pill that was able to detoxify me. After talking to him for a while I learnt that he was an alchemist.''

''Even in the Bone Refining Realm, he was able to produce Rank 6 Pills and if he's lucky Rank 5 pills.''

''Seeing his talent I was wanting to recruit him to my Family and I wanted to see if he wanted anything at the auction, and in trade he would join us.'' Alice said the entire story of how she met Hamilton.

She didn't dare exclude any information when she stood infront of Dante. She didn't even shy away from the fact that Hamilton can produce Rank 5 pills in the Bone Refining Realm!

Similar to the ranks of physiques, pills are naturally divided aswell. From Rank 1 to 9. Typically it takes a cultivator from an equivalent level to produce each pill. So a Body Refining can produce a Rank 9 pill and so on.

Only some rare talents can produce pills above their level, and the genius such as Hamilton is only seen once in a million years!

However the downside of being an alchemist is that your cultivation would be much slower and your combat power is much lower than those in the same level.

Due to their cultivation speed being much lower they typically pile up on their own produced pills, meaning their combat power takes another hit.

However, clearly Hamilton didn't do this. If he had he would've long since been in a higher state than the Bone Refining Realm. A simple Rank 5 pill could easily boost his level up constantly.

And it was precisely this that got Dante excited. If he could have an alchemist among his puppets then his second cultivation base would increase drastically.

After all, Dantes ' Puppet cultivation base isn't determined by the combat power of his puppets, it's affected by their cultivation speed.

So for those with less talent if Dante could provide them with a lot of pills then their cultivation speed could match those with higher ranking physiques.

Of course for those with Rank 5 physiques and above Dante would naturally not limit their achievements for a quick boost in cultivation speed.

If Dante could make Hamilton into a puppet then he could freely acquire people with lower ranking Physiques and boost them up to the point where they can provide benefits to Dante.

But the first step starts with the girl in front of him. Dante still didn't forget that he wanted to see what the golden glow is.

The Misty Chamber of Commerce, despite being a wealthy Trading Family, don't have many powerful warriors in their family.

The weakness of this is shown by Alices Guardian. His cultivation has only reached the Spirit State. After all this is the daughter of their patriarch and the guardian is so weak.

Of course this is only by Dantes Standards. If it was another saint family they might not dare act on Alice with a Spirit State Guardian. After all, an Ancient isn't a simple matter to mobilise for a saint family.

However Dante could take advantage of this weakness. Before either of the two reacted one of the fairy state guards beside Dante leaped forward and held Alice down as Dante pushed his hands towards the Spirit State Guardian.

Before the Guardian could react Dantes small hands clutched his head like iron pliers and a powerful force pierced through his spirit.

Before the guardian even realised what happened Dante had captured his soul within his own spiritual power before slowly piercing it with his puppet technique.

A strong rope was built between the two however an occasional shake threatened to try snap it in half.

This was the Guardians final attempt at Resistance. After all Dantes main cultivation was only the Fairy State, even if his strength had even reached the Ancient State Dante wasn't proficient enough at controlling the puppet technique yet.

Considering everything this was Dantes first attempt at controlling someone unwilling, who has a higher cultivation then him. Luckily he had already controlled the Ancient Phoenix so he was slightly prepared for what had happened.

Feeling the Rope being fully built, Dante smiled happily before feeling an influx of power into his body.

Dantes power circled around his body before pushing him up to the Ninth Stage of Spirit tempering, unfortunately he was still just short of reaching the Core Building State.

Even with the combined feedback from all 3000 beauties on board the spiritual house he coudln't push towards the core building state.

Dante could feel that the power needed was almost as much as he needed to reach the Fairy State!

Unfortunately due to his distractions recently his main cultivation base had only progressed until the Second Stage of the Fairy State.

''Seen the Young Master'' After Dantes Puppet Technique was Successful the once resistant guardian was now kneeling like a loyal dog towards Dante.

''What the hell have you done?? Old man help me this instant!'' Alice couldn't help but shout when she saw this scene.

''Dont worry, you will be next'' Dante didn't hesitate to walk over to the girl pushed down by his puppet.

Endless curiosity burnt in his eyes. It was the first time he had ever seen an aura like this on someone, even in the ancient books of his clan he had never seen something like this!

Not to mention his curiosity he even felt his puppet technique calling for the aura to be assimilated.

He pressed his hand against her smooth forehead as he ran a now familiar technique. But as his aura pressed into the girl's head he felt an unprecedented pushback that he had never felt before.
