Limit Breaking Pill

"This pill is called the Limit Breaking Pill. Once eaten by a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, they will have more than a 60% chance of breaking through the Core Formation realm! We have already tested the efficacy of the pill so everyone can rest assured about their authenticity. Furthermore, the person who concocted these pills is Sir Isaac Pritchard. I believe everyone here knows him." 

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. A pill that could increase the chances of breaking through the Core Formation realm was extremely rare. Such pills were only sold in the capital. This was because of the lack of capable alchemists in other cities. 

"If it's made by Sir Isaac, then there's no need to doubt the quality of the pills."

"That's right. Sir Isaac is the Vice Chairman of the Star Wind Alchemists Association. He wouldn't risk his reputation by making fake pills." 

Looking at the crowd's reaction, Manager John smiled contentedly. He already expected this from the start. "We have eight bottles of Limit Breaking Pills here. Each bottle contains ten pills which makes a total of 80 pills. We will be selling each pill for 10000 Star Coins. There's a lot of you guys, so to satisfy everyone, each group can only buy 5 pills at most." 

There was some commotion when he announced that. Most of the groups present came from afar and there was even one group from the Azure Wind City. All of them wanted to get as many pills as they could, but with this purchase limit, their goal couldn't be fulfilled. 

"Silence!" Manager John infused his aura into his voice. With his strength as a deterrent, everyone could only shut their mouths. 

"If you are not satisfied with this arrangement, you can leave." He added with a stern look.

When he saw that no one dared to speak, he snorted. "Line up properly if you want to buy the pill! Each group can only send one representative to line up. If you cut in line, I will kick you out!" 

Hearing this, Fredrinn sent Kristine a look. The latter understood his intentions and immediately made her move.

Swoosh!

She disappeared from her spot and joined the people in the queue. With her speed, she managed to get the fourth spot in the line.

Cain was already at the 10th Layer of the Foundation Establishment stage. He just needed an opportunity to reach the next realm. This Limit Breaking Pill was perfect for him. 

After some time, Kristine returned and handed the five pills to Fredrinn. "Here are the pills." 

Fredrinn only took one and pushed the rest back to her. "I only need one. If my father asks about the missing pill, just tell him that I took one for myself." 

Kristine was a bit surprised. She thought that Fredrinn would take everything for himself. She was even prepared to take the punishment when they returned to the estate. "Alright." 

Fredrinn smiled at her. "Now that you have gotten what you came here for, are you planning to return to the estate?" He asked.

Kristine stared at the two disciples who came with her and hesitated. She could tell that they were uncomfortable being together with Fredrinn. 

After a moment, she made a decision. "You two can return first. I'll stay here with cousin." 

Hearing this, the two disciples stared at each other and nodded. "Alright. You take care, Kristine." They then turned their gazes toward Fredrinn and bowed. "We will take our leave first, my lord!" 

"Mn." Fredrinn nodded calmly as he waved his hand.

The two took this chance to leave.

After they left, Fredrinn chuckled. "I thought that you would leave with them." 

Kristine blushed in embarrassment when she heard this. She really thought about leaving. She didn't even know if it was because of the recent changes in Fredrinn's personality or if there were other reasons. 

Looking at her expression, Fredrinn couldn't help but laugh. "Alright. I won't tease you anymore. Follow us to look around. We actually came here for another matter…" He then told her that they came here to buy an item that could conceal aura. 

"I see. No wonder you chose to go here. I don't think other stores have the item that you're looking for. Do you want me to inquire about it for you?" Kristine asked.

Fredrinn shook his head. "It's fine. We can take our time looking for it." He didn't want a lot of people to know that this was his objective. He had to be careful since this involved Olivia's safety.

While they were discussing, the sale of the Limit Breaking Pill was still underway. 

In the corner, a group of people were secretly observing them. 

"Follow the two guys that just left. If they have the pills, take it from them." 

"What if they resist?"

"Do I still need to teach you? Kill them if they resist!" 

"Understood!"

"The rest of you, follow those guys. Make sure that you keep a certain distance from them."

Meanwhile, Fredrinn's group had already left. They didn't even bother to wait and see if there would be some leftover Limit Breaking Pills. 

At this moment, Cain suddenly frowned. With his sharp senses, he noticed that there were some people following them. He immediately went close to Fredrinn and told him about this discovery.

"Oh? Just pretend that you didn't sense them." Fredrinn furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't want to cause a ruckus here so he chose to leave them be. With the security inside the treasure house, he believed that those people wouldn't dare do anything to them. 

"I understand." Cain nodded and moved back. 

"What happened, cousin?" Kristine was on his right so she heard a bit of their conversation. 

"It seems like we have attracted a group of greedy people," Fredrinn muttered helplessly. 

Hearing this, Kristine thought about the two young disciples and she couldn't help but feel worried for their safety.  "The two disciples… They might not be safe…" 

Hearing this, Fredrinn raised his eyebrows. He had forgotten about them. "Cain, take this and bring those two back." He said as he handed the Limit Breaking Pill to Cain. 

Cain's eyes flashed. "Yes, my lord!"
