Chapter 2024: The Reckless Alani Osborn
For Billy, he was in a hurry to improve everyone’s cultivation levels and couldn’t afford to wait a month. The Yheng Institute might come looking for them soon.
“Mr. Billy, you urgently need the Spirit Essence Pill formula to start refining it as soon as possible, right?” Juliana Frost was slightly taken aback by Billy’s words.
“But there’s something you might not know, Mr. Billy. Even if I give you the formula now, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to refine the Spirit Essence Pill within a month.”
“Why?” Stout asked.
“Because the two main ingredients for refining the Spirit Essence Pill are very hard to find on the market!” Juliana Frost replied.
“Even in our Alchemists’ Alliance, apart from the headquarters, the other branches have very limited stock.”
“As far as I know, these ingredients are occasionally sold in some cities within fifth-tier star domains, but they are impossible to find in the Great Green Star Domain.”
“And even with teleportation channels for transfers, it’s impossible to make a round trip to a fifth-tier star domain city within a month.”
“Is that so?” Stout responded.
Billy’s brow furrowed slightly.
“Mr. Billy, how about this?” Juliana Frost walked to her desk, took out a medicine box, and handed it to Billy.
“There are ten low-grade Spirit Essence Pills refined by our Alchemists’ Alliance in here. If you don’t mind, please accept them as a small token of our goodwill.”
“I’ll try to get back to you with the formula as soon as possible. What do you think, Mr. Billy?”
Seeing her give away ten Spirit Essence Pills, Dalton Frost and the gray-robed elderly man were both surprised.
This was quite generous!
Even for the Alchemists’ Alliance, Spirit Essence Pills are extremely precious and not something that can be bought with spirit stones.
“You’re giving them to us for free?” Stout’s eyes lit up.
He had just spent five thousand supreme-grade spirit stones on one Spirit Essence Pill and was still feeling the pinch. Hearing this offer lifted his spirits.
“Yes!” Juliana Frost nodded with a smile.
“Thank you very much, Little Missy!” Before Billy could respond, Stout took the medicine box and put it into his storage ring.
Billy’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Juliana Frost. “I’ll buy these ten Spirit Essence Pills at the previous price of fifty thousand supreme-grade spirit stones.”
“If Mr. Billy doesn’t mind making friends with me, consider these ten Spirit Essence Pills as a gift from me. Please don’t refuse.” Juliana Frost smiled.
“Thank you then. I’ll owe you a favor!” Billy didn’t insist on paying.
“Mr. Billy, you’re too kind!” Juliana Frost smiled again.
“Mr. Billy, the woman who bid against you earlier is the eldest daughter of the Osborn family in Great Green City. She won’t let this go easily after you took her Spirit Essence Pill.”
“I know!” Billy replied.
“If she’s still around, do you need me to send someone to help you…” Juliana Frost continued.
“No need, thank you!” Billy interrupted her.
After a brief pause, he looked at Dalton Frost. “Elder Dalton, do you know much about the Blade and Sword Sect?”
“Blade and Sword Sect?” Dalton Frost was puzzled. “What do you want to know?”
“Nothing specific, just some basic information about the sects. Is that convenient?” Billy responded.
“Of course!” Dalton Frost replied.
The two sides then began chatting over tea.
Soon after, Billy and Stout left the Alchemists’ Alliance.
“Boss, someone’s tailing us. They must be from the Osborn family. Should we take action?” Stout asked as they walked out.
“There are too many people here. Let’s find another place,” Billy said as he led Stout toward their lodging.
About half an hour later, they arrived near a secluded grove by their inn.
“Stop!”
A woman’s voice came from behind them.
They turned around to see about twenty men and women surrounding them, led by Alani Osborn, the eldest daughter of the Osborn family.
It was clear she had also been looking for a suitable place to strike.
Billy quickly assessed their group. The person following closely behind Alani Osborn was at half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm. Among the others, five or six were at Entering Emptiness Realm, while the rest were at Heaven Dao Realm or below.
The Osborn family was indeed one of the top three families in this star domain; even the eldest daughter traveled with such strong escorts.
“Daring to snatch something from me, Alani Osborn? You must have a death wish!” Alani Osborn said coldly. “Hand over the Spirit Essence Pill, and I might spare your lives!”
“Are you sure you want to rob us?” Stout asked calmly.
“Stop wasting my time!” Alani Osborn snapped. “My patience is limited. This is your last chance!”
“What if we refuse?” Stout asked again.
“Then you’ll hand over your lives along with the Spirit Essence Pill!” Alani Osborn retorted.
“We don’t want trouble, but why do you force our hand?” Stout looked at Billy. “Boss, should we kill them?”
“Kill,” Billy replied calmly.
Since they were coming for their lives, he wouldn’t show mercy.
“You court death!” Alani Osborn waved her hand. “Attack! Kill them!”
“Yes!” Everyone except the half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm elder charged at them.
Billy’s eyes narrowed as he drew his Bloodshadow Fury Blade and casually swung it out.
The three men at mid-to-late Entering Emptiness Realm running at the front didn’t even realize what happened before the blade light flashed past them.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
They took two more steps before collapsing, their bodies split in two and covered in blood.
Seeing this, those behind them instinctively stopped, their faces filled with horror.
“Hmm?!” The half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm elder was also stunned, his pupils contracting coldly.
He hadn’t acted earlier because he had already assessed Billy’s cultivation level as second-rank Entering Emptiness Realm and didn’t take him seriously.
But now, Billy had effortlessly killed three mid-to-late Entering Emptiness Realm companions with one swing!
He finally realized he had severely underestimated Billy’s skills.
Meanwhile, Stout had already engaged the others in battle.
With his current strength, anyone below the early Entering Emptiness Realm was no match for him.
Within a few moves, five or six opponents were sent flying by his punches, lying motionless on the ground.
“Elder Philip, kill him!” Alani Osborn shouted after recovering from her shock.
“Yes!” The half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm elder drew a sharp sword and approached Billy.
“I didn’t expect you to be this skilled; it’s quite surprising!”
“But you made a grave mistake by crossing my lady…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Billy swung out another sharp blade light.
Heavenly Fury Slash!
