Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Billy, Harleen, focus and absorb as much as you can!” Clayton Acevedo’s voice reached their ears.

“Got it!” Billy and Harleen exchanged glances, then sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

The sword and blade aura here was several times denser than that in Sword Hill at Canyon View Institute.

Moreover, Billy and Harleen’s understanding of the sword and blade aura had deepened significantly since then.

So, it was no surprise that after spending several hours here, as the aura in the domain gradually faded, both of them broke through.

Both advanced two levels: Billy stepped into the fifth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm, and Harleen reached the fourth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm.

“Very good!” As the domain completely dissipated, Clayton Acevedo looked at them with satisfaction.

“Thank you, Elder Clayton!” They bowed respectfully.

“Why thank me? I didn’t do anything to help you.” Clayton Acevedo smiled. “I have something to discuss with you two.”

“Please go ahead, Elder Clayton,” Harleen said.

“The high-end combat power of Yheng Institute has been wiped out, but there are still many people at the Institute headquarters,” Clayton Acevedo began.

“Moreover, the Institute has nearly ten thousand students, most of whom are talented geniuses from the Great Green Star Domain. What do you plan to do with them?”

“Elder Clayton, we know nothing about the Institute. You should make the decision,” Harleen replied.

“Billy, what do you think?” Clayton Acevedo asked Billy.

“I’ll go with Elder Clayton’s decision,” Billy responded.

“Alright then!” Clayton Acevedo thought for a moment before speaking.

“I’ll have Jimmy Acevedo take some people to Great Green City to take over the Institute. We won’t make any major moves for now. The students can stay or leave as they wish.”

“When you have time, visit Great Green City and decide what to do then. How does that sound?”

“We have no objections,” Billy replied.

As Harleen said, he knew nothing about Yheng Institute and was indeed not in a position to give any opinions.

“Then it’s settled!” Clayton Acevedo nodded. “Let’s go back!”

With that, he led them back to Sword Sect.

In the following days, Billy and his group stayed temporarily at Sword Sect.

On one hand, he was appointed as the Sect Master by the phantom elder and couldn’t just leave everything behind.

On the other hand, Casey and Ivy could benefit greatly from the guidance of experts from the two major sects while staying in Bladesong City.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Billy and Harleen focused on studying the Realm of Swords and Blades. With guidance from the phantom elder, they had already gained some insights.

After half a month, they had managed to form their initial Realm of Swords and Blades. Although it wasn’t very effective yet, given more time, they would surely achieve something significant.

During this half-month period, Casey and others gained a new understanding of swords and blades under the guidance of Ryder Blade and Jericho Acevedo, significantly improving their combat power.

Additionally, after the battle ended, Stout and his group collected dozens of storage rings filled with so many resources that Stout didn’t sleep for two days, drooling over their contents.

With abundant cultivation resources, everyone’s cultivation levels broke through without any suspense.

Ivy and Opal both advanced to the third-rank Entering Emptiness Realm, while Casey, Stout, and Amber reached the second-rank Entering Emptiness Realm.

Azure Dragon and Azure Fang faced Thunder Tribulation one after another. Although there were some accidents during the process, they ultimately broke through to the Entering Emptiness Realm safely.

Ian Blade, Bob, and Felicia advanced to the ninth-rank Heaven Dao Realm, while the remaining members broke through to the eighth-rank Heaven Dao Realm.

One morning, Billy and Stout visited Alchemists’ Alliance again.

“Mr. Billy, please come in!” Dalton Frost greeted them as soon as they entered the courtyard.

“Thank you!” Billy responded with a smile.

Soon, they arrived at an office where Juliana Frost and William Frost were already seated.

“Thank you for coming all this way!” Juliana Frost poured tea for them after they sat down.

“Thank you for your help last time!” Billy smiled in response.

“No need to be so polite!” Juliana Frost replied with a smile.

“Miss Frost, have you considered what my boss mentioned last time?” Stout asked.

“We called you here to discuss that matter,” Juliana Frost smiled before turning to William Frost. “Elder William, please explain.”

“Alright.” William Frost nodded and looked at Billy. “Mr. Billy, I have a request. I wonder if you could help?”

“Please go ahead,” Billy replied.

“I refined a batch of low-grade Spirit Essence Pills yesterday. They need one final step. Could you…” William Frost hesitated as he looked at Billy.

“Sure!” Billy interrupted with a smile.

It was clear that they wanted to see if his Essence Blood could indeed increase the purity of the pills to over ninety percent!

“Thank you, Mr. Billy!” William Frost sighed in relief at Billy’s quick agreement.

Juliana Frost and Dalton Frost also looked visibly relieved.

They had worried that this request might offend Billy, but he agreed so readily.

“It’s my pleasure,” Billy smiled back.

Soon after, they arrived at an alchemy room on the first floor where two elderly men in green robes were busy by a cauldron.

The room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, indicating that the pills were almost complete except for the final step of refining with Essence Blood.

Billy cut his finger and flicked a few drops of Essence Blood into the cauldron.

As time passed, the medicinal fragrance in the room grew stronger.

About fifteen minutes later, the two elderly men stopped their work and each took out a Spirit Essence Pill from the cauldron.

The next moment, their faces showed extreme shock.

“Elder Matthew, how is it?” Juliana Frost asked one of the elderly men with a smile.

“Miss Juliana!” One of them spoke excitedly. “The purity is ninety-five percent!”

“Mr. Billy truly is a once-in-a-millennium genius!” William Frost examined one of the pills with a look of amazement.

“You flatter me,” Billy replied modestly.

“Only ninety-five percent?” Stout clicked his tongue. “If my boss had refined it himself, it would be at least ninety-eight percent!”

“Mr. Billy, could I observe your process next time?” William Frost asked hopefully.

“Of course,” Billy agreed with another smile.

“Thank you!” William Frost bowed slightly.

“Now you know my boss wasn’t lying,” Stout said. “Let’s discuss what my boss mentioned last time…”

“Mr. Billy, may I discuss something with you?” William Frost continued. “The ingredients for refining low-grade Spirit Essence Pills are almost impossible to find in this four-star domain. I brought these ingredients from a five-star domain.”

“So even if I give you the recipe now, it won’t be of much use.”

“What do you mean? Still unwilling to give it?” Stout clicked his tongue again in a haughty tone. “How stingy! Fine then, we’ll buy it.”

“Name your price for the low-grade Spirit Essence Pill recipe. Name any amount of spirit stones you want.”
