Alex had put quite the effort to make this woman follow him without causing trouble, or with doubt in her heart… More importantly, it’d be difficult if he was alone here. He needed strong teammates.
“Not only am I a Grandmaster Alchemist, but I am also a Grandmaster Doctor. You seem to have some issues. I can help cure that.”
“I have issues? What do you mean?”
“You’ve probably forgotten, I suppose. I’ll explain then. You have congenital heart disease. Since you have high cultivation, you can suppress the symptoms.”
“But that’s exactly why your cultivation skills are not improving. Even if you were given another three thousand years, this is all you can do if you don’t cure it.”
The woman was surprised because Alex was absolutely right.
“You can cure me?”
“Mhm!”
“Then do it right now!”
Alex shook his head. “Not now. You have to show some sincerity! To be honest, I can tell you one more thing. Your goddess gave up on your previous young lord and made me the seed instead.”
“Else, why would I even have the courage to fight you guys? Just look at my current cultivation level! Do you know how I got the Great Star Pill you made? Your goddess stole it from you and gave it to me.”
Alex started lying, first by bringing the goddess statue into his story.
As expected, the woman was stunned. “The goddess you mentioned… Is…”
“The one in the sanctuary. Don’t tell me you don’t know her?”
This time, the woman was truly frozen in shock. “She… She showed herself?”
“Of course she did. You guys simply didn’t know it happened!”
“What… Did she say?”
“She was definitely disappointed with the current seed. Do you know what a hero the Great Genbu was? Yet he called him an old turtle!”
With every formation broken through, retrieving the weapon meant releasing the Yakshas as well. Hence, these Yakshas recognized him as their owner, but they were restricted to within the limits of this Troop Raising Pond. Save for that, they would’ve made quite a powerful troop.
Alex proceeded to break through thirteen other formations in front of Lorelei before taking out the very last weapon.
In reality, there weren’t many that were still useful. Most had been corroded with time… The weapons weren’t oxidized, however; their current state was caused by the concentrated ominous Chi within the pond. The ones of poor quality had turned into a pile of useless metal, especially after their time was up.
While Lorelei was helping Alex hold his weapons, the rest of the women were extremely worried on the other side of the moon gate. Their hearts sank to the bottom of the ocean.
Their big sister had mentioned that her current cultivation could only allow her to be in there for an hour. However, she hadn’t come back even though an hour had passed.
“Our sister… Did she…”
“No, Big Sister is very powerful. And her soul stone hasn’t shattered yet.”
“Then, is she trapped? We have to go save her!”
A woman in red replied. “I’ll go borrow the Umbrella of Destiny from the young lord. It’ll buy us a lot of time.”
