Andrew still said," I know the pills are classified into three grades".

Liona had a dissatisfied expression and she said," I know about it. Is there any pill higher than a high-grade pill".

After listening to Liona's words, Andrew showed a look of longing and he said with a face full of desire," There is a superb grade pill after high grade. It's the dream of an Alchemist to refine them. But till now except for a handful of people in Hope City and some hidden families. No other person can refine them".

While Liona was stunned and she had a surprised expression on her face. She then asked," Can you describe what a superb-grade pill looks like?".

Andrew immediately said with a face full of desire," I seem to remember when I went to the Holy City ten years ago. At that time I had just reached tier 4 and to take the test I had to travel there. At that time I was lucky enough to see President Colley of the Alchemists Association who is also named as Alchemist God, refine a tier 1 pill into superb grade".

" I can still remember the pill looked like a white pearl that gave off the fragrance of a dense herb. The beauty was like.....".

Liona and Terry were stunned when they saw that Master Andrew began to talk so much nonsense. Seeing this Liona said," Let's go".

Saying so both of them left the room leaving Andrew chatting for some time. When he came to his senses he found that the person had disappeared.

Seeing this his face turned black and he immediately cursed," F*ck those people from Rune Association are rude as always. They can't even let me define the beauty of the pill".

While Liona at this time felt that she had found something that she didn't dare to think of. As she could be sure the pill that she used last night had the same appearance as Master Andrew narrated.

Thinking about it she felt that she had found a talent. But suddenly she stopped when she remembered that John seemed to have his alchemist talent devoured by the Dark Cult.

This made her feel sorry for her. So she said," Terry you prepare to sell the shop. It's time for us to return to Blood Ivy City".

Terry was stunned and then he said," Okay Teacher".

.....

Somewhere in the wilderness.

A tent was set up and 20 people had covered their faces and had also armed themselves thoroughly.

The person wearing a black mask said," We will take action today. Remember you people don't make any mistakes or else I will skin you all alive".

Listening to the masked man's words other people shivered and they just nodded their heads.

Suddenly one person asked," Sir should we loot the Spider Van?".

The leader replied," Are you guys f*cking idiots. We have disguised as robbers so of course we are going to loot and kill. But remember to capture the target first".

Saying so he stopped and then asked in a cold tone," Have you all memorized both person appearances".

The subordinates immediately nodded their heads. Seeing this the leader was satisfied and said," Prepare for ambush. Also bring out the disrupting rune".

While saying so there was a hint of tremor in his tone. The disrupting rune cost him a fortune. He now hoped that it would be worth it.

...

" How did I get the basic slingshot mastery itself?".

" I have also cooked food for the last few days so why haven't I learned any skill related to the chef".

While questioning himself, John was lost in thought. Suddenly he remembered that while practicing with the slingshot last night he shot continuously for an hour. Not only that he had shot at least 500 times only then did he get the Mastery. So does it mean that you can gain any skills as long as you can practice them for a certain number of time?

He felt that there was a point. So he decided to keep it in mind.

" Hello sir, are you an Alchemist?".

John withdrew his gaze from the window and looked at the girl next to him who was questioning him. He immediately shook his head and replied," Nope I am not".

Alina immediately laughed and said," Sir you are terrible at lying. I saw the iPad is generally issued only to the Alchemist. Not to mention behind your iPad I also saw the potion symbol".

Saying so she stopped and John's expression became stiff. As he was indeed an Alchemist but he had just been removed from the Alchemist Association.

So he closed his eyes and ignored the noisy girl.

Just when Alina was going to say something, her father said," Alina stop chatting. You know it's rude to interrupt people while sleeping".

Listening to her father's words, Alina glared at the culprit as she was also an Alchemist Apprentice.

So she wanted to discuss something about herbs with the person next to her but now it seems not possible.

While John breathed a sigh of relief when he heard their conversation. Fortunately, the girl's father stopped from asking any more questions.

Just when John thought he could finally enjoy some peaceful time. Suddenly an explosion and a red alarm began to buzz in the entire room.

He opened his eyes and saw most of the passenger's faces had already turned pale.

" Attention passengers, we are being attacked by Robbers. There are 20 people and they have surrounded us"

" We ask you to remain calm and if there are any fighters then please support us".

" The masked people are the robbers. I repeat the masked people are the robbers".

As soon as the warning went off, people began to look at the surroundings with an anxious look on their faces.

Alina's face also became pale and her father said," Alina calm down. The worst situation has not arrived as guards protecting the Caravan will protect us".

As soon as he finished speaking, the warning once again went out.

" The caravan guards have surrendered as the opponents have a tier 3 as their leader".
