Life Sustaining Pill

"In this scroll, it is stated that the Tiberius and Blackthorn Family families have been exterminated. All bodies were found except those of the respective family leaders. It is highly likely that both were abducted by the attackers," said the head of the Tower of God Academy.

"So, it's most likely that the remaining members of the Blackthorn and Tiberius families are only their descendants here in the academy, right, Head?" asked Kaelen Frostfire.

"That's right," answered the head of the Tower of God Academy shortly.

Everyone fell silent. The names of the two families mentioned by the head of the Tower of God Academy were highly respected in the martial arts world. They were among the revered families, although the Tiberius family had recently experienced a decline. The great names of their ancestors who had reached the realm of demigods made them respected.

"Elder Raven, may I see the contents of that scroll?" asked the Head of the Nine Gods Academy.

The Head of the Tower of God Academy nodded, then asked Master Frostfire to hand over the scroll to the head of the Nine Gods Academy. The elderly man in his sixties opened the scroll and read it. It was clear from his expression that he was surprised and worried after learning the contents of the scroll. He sighed heavily several times, indicating that the news in the scroll was very disturbing.

"Can this scroll be trusted? It seems highly impossible that several great families were exterminated. Even if we were to do it, we wouldn't necessarily be able to eliminate them all. If the news in this scroll is true, then it can be certain that those Demon Sect people are indeed very powerful," lamented the head of the Nine Gods Academy.

"It seems that the situation is very urgent this time. We should postpone the friendship matches between the junior and senior disciples of the four major academies. Let's focus on improving the quality of the students' abilities so that if there is indeed an attack on the Academy, we will be ready," suggested the head of the God Statue Academy after reading the contents of the scroll shown to him.

Finally, everyone agreed to postpone the friendship matches between the four Academies involving the junior and senior disciples of each party. Shortly thereafter, each grandmaster from the other Academies asked for permission to return to their respective Academies from Magnus Raven.

"Master Frostfire, Master Rylan," called the head of the Tower of God Academy, and both turned to face Master Magnus Raven. "The incidents involving the Tiberius and Blackthorn Family don't need to be told to the descendants of their families for the time being. When the time comes, at least until they have passed the 1-year training limit in this Tower of God."

Master Rylan and Master Frostfire nodded their heads. Indeed, they agreed with the thinking of the head of the Tower of God Academy. If the incidents involving the Tiberius and Blackthorn Family were to be known by their descendants, it would hinder the progress of the students' training. After arranging such plans, the grandmasters finally left the meeting hall and returned to their respective places.

"How is the child?" asked Master Rylan.

Early in the morning, the head of the Tower of Earth Dragon came to the Medical Hall where the health division of the Tower of God Academy was taking care of Julius. There, Master Lin Duano was already watching over Julius. It was to the assistant Master at the Tower of Earth Dragon Tower that Master Rylan inquired.

"Until now, he hasn't regained consciousness. But his condition is gradually improving. The wound healing potion from the health division is indeed powerful!" replied Master Lin Duano.

"Hmmm... that's not a potion from the Health Division, but directly concocted by the chairman himself. A level nine pill unparalleled in this world. The chairman spent ten years making it, and in the end, it's this child who gets to enjoy it. He's too fortunate to receive the chairman's attention," said Master Rylan Dragon, occasionally shaking his head in dismay at the actions of the Head of the Tower of God Academy.

The level nine pill is the highest level of alchemical achievement in the world. It requires someone with at least Semi God realm martial spirit strength and the ability of a king-level alchemist to create it. So far, the only person capable of doing this is Magnus Raven. It takes decades just to make one pill.

As for the levels of alchemy in this cultivator world, they are divided into four:

Basic Alchemist

Intermediate Alchemist

Master Alchemist

King Alchemist.

Over ten years ago, Magnus Raven created the life sustaining pill, believed to heal all kinds of internal and external wounds. Regardless of a person's condition, as long as they still have a breath in their body, even if their entire body is chopped into pieces, with that pill, they will be restored.

Magnus Raven initially made the life sustaining pill for himself to cultivate through the God Earth realm level. Because during cultivation, someone in the midst of the Semi God level nine realm journeying to the God Earth realm would face the assistance of two worlds' powers, none of whom have ever been able to pass because their bodies were destroyed before succeeding. Now, by giving it to Julius, he would have to remake the pill and seclude himself for at least another ten years if he wants to succeed.

Knowing this from Master Rylan's mouth, Master Lin Duano also regretted the decision made by the chairman of the Tower of God Academy. He believed Julius wasn't worth the chairman's kindness. Moreover, even though he had received the pill, there were no signs of Julius regaining consciousness. He worried that the martial spirit of the young man had disappeared, making all of Master Magnus Raven's sacrifices futile.

"Chairman!"

The two grandmasters immediately rose from their seats upon seeing Master Magnus Raven's arrival. They bowed in respect to the chairman of the Tower of God Academy, and the chairman returned the gesture.

"I have investigated the truth about the events written in the scroll provided by General Kieran, and not a single detail is wrong. The news he conveyed is indeed true. However, most of the families of the cultivators who were exterminated were close to the royal family. I suspect that the Demon Sect individuals intend to disrupt the kingdom," said Magnus Raven.

"Truly disturbing. Then is it possible they will also disrupt our academy?" murmured Master Rylan, slightly annoyed.

"It's not impossible for that to happen. What worries me about the leader of the Demon Sect is that he's rumored to be at the level nine Semi God realm," replied Magnus Raven.

"What? Is that true, chairman?" exclaimed Master Rylan and Master Lin simultaneously.
