Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 489: 489: Perfection in Realm_1

Standing in this empty warehouse, Ethan Smith was amazed to find that the surrounding spiritual energy had almost disappeared.

In other words, the spiritual energy in the entire warehouse had been nearly absorbed by Ethan Smith.

He gently clenched his fist, feeling the surging power from all parts of his body, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

“Is this… the power of a half-step Martial Marquis?” Ethan Smith muttered softly.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this power was at least dozens of times stronger than before!

“That’s not right.”

But soon, Ethan Smith noticed something was wrong.

Although his strength had increased tremendously, he didn’t seem to have reached the edge of the Martial Marquis realm.

Although the half-step Martial Marquis realm isn’t a clearly defined realm, one should be able to sense the power of a true Martial Marquis and transcend the Grandmaster realm.

However, Ethan Smith still felt like he was within the Grandmaster realm.

On the contrary, he couldn’t sense the Martial Marquis realm at all.

“Could it be… that I’m still in the Grandmaster realm?” Ethan Smith frowned.

“But my strength has indeed increased by dozens or even a hundred times.” Ethan Smith took a deep breath.

At that moment, it seemed Ethan Smith thought of something.

His pupils shrank as he muttered, “Could it be… the Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm?”

The possibility of achieving this realm was extremely low, with a probability of less than 0.001%.

But there were rumors that those who reached the Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm at the peak of their cultivation were considered extremely talented.

Although their future cultivation would be filled with challenges, once they achieved greatness, they would be unmatched in the world.

To break through the Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm, one needed a certain opportunity.

For example, a specific Pill or a miraculous encounter.

“The Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm…” Ethan Smith muttered softly.

There seemed to be a thin line separating him from the half-step Martial Marquis realm.

But Ethan Smith could feel the exhilarating and formidable power within his body!

This power was definitely not weaker than an ordinary half-step Martial Marquis, and was even much stronger!

“The Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm is enough.” Ethan Smith said coldly.

With his current strength, if he encountered someone like Dudley Lynch again, Ethan Smith was fully confident that he could take his life within three breaths!

At this moment, Ethan Smith didn’t know whether this was a blessing or a curse.

As a Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster, Ethan Smith’s power surpassed that of the half-step Martial Marquis realm.

So, how powerful would he be once he truly entered the half-step Martial Marquis realm?

Unimaginable!

Staying in this warehouse, Ethan Smith had no sense of the passage of time.

Therefore, he didn’t know when the door would open.

The door couldn’t be opened by brute force, so Ethan Smith could only wait.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, searching through his inherited memories to find a way to break through the Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm.

Soon, a few memories entered Ethan Smith’s mind.

A pill called “Reincarnation Pill” appeared before his eyes.

“Reincarnation Pill requires five thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, three Demonic Beast Cores, and eight thousand-year-old herbs…”

Seeing this formula, Ethan Smith’s eyes widened in disbelief!

This formula was simply too outrageous!

Until now, Ethan Smith had never seen any five thousand-year-old medicinal herbs!

Not only that, the Reincarnation Pill also had extremely high requirements for Pill masters, requiring two Pill masters with Purple Spirit Fire to refine it simultaneously!

Just this requirement alone was enough to stump most people!

“Two Pill masters with Purple Spirit Fire… Luckily, Lord Pavilion Master also has Purple Spirit Fire.” Ethan Smith thought secretly.

In this case, the most difficult part would be finding the five thousand-year-old medicinal herbs.

“It seems like I’ll have to trouble Lord Pavilion Master again.” Ethan Smith smiled bitterly in his heart.

Ethan Smith stood up and looked at the herbs in the warehouse.

Due to Ethan Smith’s absorption of the spiritual energy, almost all of the herbs in the warehouse had withered.

This made Ethan Smith feel slightly guilty.

Since he arrived at the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, he didn’t know how much trouble he had caused them.And the Pavilion Master’s wholehearted help to him was an immense and overwhelming favor.

Without the Pavilion Master’s help, Ethan Smith didn’t know how much longer it would take for him to reach the Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm.

“Although I have not stepped into the half-step Martial Marquis Realm, with my current state, dealing with Dexter Blair is a piece of cake.” Ethan Smith sneered coldly in his heart.

He put away the Three Pure Ancient Tree and waited quietly for the warehouse door to open.

The outside world.

The First Elder’s daily lecture.

He knew very well in his heart that these alchemists didn’t respect him.

So, he had to brainwash them every day and be both kind and stern.

At noon on this day.

The First Elder gathered all the alchemists in the square.

He swept his gaze over the crowd and said indifferently, “Martha Evans has become a thing of the past, and I am the second-generation Pavilion Master of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion! Those who obey me will naturally be rewarded, but there is only one outcome for those who do not!”

Before his words fell, two men dragged a half-dead elderly man forward.

This elderly man was none other than the Second Elder!

He was covered in blood, his aura weak, and he looked utterly miserable.

“Second Elder!” Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted out!

The First Elder reached out his palm and grabbed the Second Elder in his hand.

“Since I am the new Pavilion Master, not obeying me is a betrayal of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion!” said the First Elder coldly.

“I have no tolerance for traitors!”

With that, the First Elder grabbed the Second Elder’s wrist and viciously exerted force!

“Pfft!”

The immense strength crushed the Second Elder’s hand to pieces!

Amidst the blood and shattered bones, the First Elder stood tall.

A cry of agony echoed through the square for a long time!

“This is the outcome! If you still don’t come to your senses, I will continue to enforce the rules!” said the First Elder coldly.

Down below, the crowd’s faces were ugly, and no one spoke.

Although they hated the First Elder deeply, they had no choice.

The First Elder snorted coldly, “Meeting dismissed!”

After the First Elder left, everyone hurried over to the Second Elder.

“Second Elder, are you okay… ”

“Quick, make medicine for the Second Elder to stop the bleeding!”

The Second Elder clenched his teeth and waved his hand.

He whispered, “Tomorrow morning, Ethan Smith will come out of seclusion… After he comes out, he will definitely not let the First Elder go…”

Upon hearing this, everyone unwittingly looked in the direction of the warehouse.

“Take me to the warehouse door. I want to see Ethan Smith come out with my own eyes…” The Second Elder said with difficulty.

Without saying anything more, the crowd helped the Second Elder to the warehouse door.

At night.

The Second Elder sat alone at the warehouse door.

“Second Elder, how are you.”

At this moment, the Fifth Elder walked over.

Seeing the Fifth Elder, the Second Elder snorted coldly, “Instead of going to please the new Pavilion Master and securing your position, what are you doing here?”

The Fifth Elder smiled bitterly, “Second Elder, you misunderstand me. I want nothing more than to tear him apart! The reason I did this is just to save the lives of the many alchemists…”

“If the alchemists were to leave, the Divine Alchemist Pavilion… would truly be disbanded.”

The Second Elder’s eyebrows furrowed, and he said with some suspicion, “Are your words true?”

“Absolutely true! Heaven and earth are my witnesses!” The Fifth Elder replied with a bitter smile.

As the Second Elder was about to speak, there was a sudden noise from the warehouse door.

Then, the Forbidden Power on the door disappeared, and the door slowly opened.

“Hm? It opened early?” The Second Elder was taken aback and then overjoyed!
