Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family

"However, even if he is a Grade Two Alchemist, it doesn't mean he can successfully refine the Water Resonance Pill. When the time comes, I want to see how he makes a fool of himself." Patel Kin's eyes were filled with venom, and his initial disappointment quickly turned into resentment and hatred.

With that thought, Patel kin quickened his pace, trailing behind Blaze Regret and Patel Shin from a distance, all the while cursing silently in his heart.

The Patel Family, located on the southern side of Bloodstone Pass, stood out with its grand architectural outline compared to the neighboring courtyards. The gilded characters of "Patel Family" further emphasized the family's prestige.

"Patel Shin, weren't you supposed to go out and find an alchemist? Why are you back so soon?"

As Blaze Regret was observing the structure of the Patel Family residence, a guard at the gate suddenly spoke up. From his slightly questioning tone, it was clear that his status in the Patel Family was much higher than Patel Shin's.

"This is the alchemist," Patel Shin quickly glanced at Blaze Regret and said.

"Oh? So young?" The Patel Family member had just shown a hint of doubt on his face when a pale yellow flame suddenly rose before his eyes. Immediately, the indifference on his face vanished, replaced by deep fear and respect.

"Master, please come in!"

Under numerous heated gazes, Blaze Regret stepped through the Patel Family's main gate. Any Patel Family member who saw him quickly stood aside, showing utmost respect.

"Being an alchemist is really a well regarded profession," Blaze Regret sighed inwardly. As long as one had a connection with these three characters, they could thrive anywhere.

Walking slowly, after a moment, a hall filled with silhouettes finally appeared in Blaze Regret's sight.

"The poison of the Fire Refining Snake is truly dreadful, to have reduced an eighth tier spirit Imperial master to this state," Blaze Regret muttered as he looked at a middle aged man sitting at the head of the hall with his eyes closed.

That middle aged man was none other than Patel Family's head, Patel Rong. Most of his hair had fallen out, and he was weakly leaning against the chair. His skin was covered in red spots.

On either side of the main seat sat an elder, both with proud expressions. Their every movement exuded an arrogance that looked down on the Patel Family.

"Master Blaze, that man in the red robe over there is a second tier alchemist named Star Megami, and the one in the purple robe is Swith Mark, also a second tier alchemist," Patel Shin softly said, pointing in their direction.

Blaze Regret nodded slightly, lifted his foot, and strode into the hall.

As soon as Blaze Regret entered, dozens of gazes immediately turned toward him. Unlike the guards at the gate, they were unaware of Blaze Regret's status as an alchemist, so their faces were filled with curiosity and suspicion.

Star Megami and Swith Mark, however, continued sipping their tea, not even bothering to glance at Blaze Regret.

"Patriarch, this is Master Blaze. He says he can attempt to refine the Water Resonance Pill," Patel Shin announced loudly, cupping his hands in respect. It was clear that the Fire Refining Snake's poison had also affected Patel Rong's hearing.

Leaning against his chair, it took Patel Rong a considerable effort to open his eyes, which held a faint trace of red within the black pupils.

"Poof!"

Before Patel Rong could speak, Star Megami spat out a mouthful of tea, looking at Blaze Regret with a mocking expression. Swith Mark also curled his lips in disdain.

"Master? Since when did the title 'Master' become so cheap?" Star Megami scoffed, wiping the tea from his beard with a tone full of ridicule.

Seeing this, Blaze Regret's eyes narrowed slightly. Perhaps his alchemy skills were not considered exceptional in the central empire, but in this small Bloodstone Pass, he definitely deserved the title of 'Master,' at least more so than Star Megami.

Moreover, as soon as he entered the hall, Blaze Regret noticed that the auras of Star Megami and Swith Mark were slightly disordered, indicating they were merely beginners in the second tier alchemist rank. Their abilities were even slightly inferior to his own when he had just left Velorian City.

"Oh? Young friend, are you also an alchemist?" Patel Rong asked slowly, his lips trembling. Just uttering those few words caused sweat to bead on his forehead.

Without a word, Blaze Regret clenched his fist, and a pale yellow flame danced in his palm like a lively sprite.

"This flame is nothing special, barely has the strength of a first grade alchemist." Start Megami sneered, his voice extremely mocking.

Swith Mark glanced at Blaze Regret's flame, then withdrew his gaze, not even bothering to lift his head again. In his perception, Blaze Regret was still at the level of a first grade alchemist, and in the eyes of a second grade alchemist, a first grade one was no different from an ordinary person.

With a slight flick of his palm, the pale yellow flame dissipated, and Blaze Regret lowered his hand.

His alchemy skills were already very close to those of a third grade alchemist. At this stage, the aura of the alchemic flame had begun to become restrained, and unless one surpassed a second grade alchemist, it was impossible to detect.

"Young friend, do you know that the Water Resonance Pill is a second grade elixir?" Patel Rong said slowly. He wasn't familiar with alchemy, so upon hearing Start Megami's words, he automatically labeled Blaze Regret as a first grade alchemist.

"Patriarch Patel, if you don't mind, I can refine the elixir for you right now." Blaze Regret's voice was calm. From the look of Patel Rong, he could only last another three days at most. In such a situation, as long as he showed a bit of skill, Patel Rong would definitely be willing to try.
