Nicholas Lester’s face brightened with joy, "Can you truly assist me in breaking through to the Late Stage of Martial Saint?!"
Lionel Yeager nodded, saying, "I see that your cultivation level is only a half-step away from the Late Stage of Martial Saint.
With just a little assistance from me, you’ll be able to make the breakthrough."
Nicholas Lester, unable to hide his excitement, gasped, "Mr. Yeager, if you can really assist me in breaking through to the Late Stage of Martial Saint, then you’re my savior!
I will be utterly loyal to you from now on, willing to spill my guts for you..."
After all, he had been stuck at the Mid-stage Martial Saint for too long, unable to make a breakthrough.
"Stop, stop, stop. No need for declarations of loyalty. I will judge you by your actions going forward."
Lionel Yeager waved his hand, saying, "All right, you guys just watch, I’m going to start refining pills."
Saying that, Lionel Yeager tossed the Medicine King Cauldron into the air, suspending it in mid-air with his True qi.
Next, Lionel Yeager raised his right hand, with the index and middle fingers together, continuously emitting his True Fire from within his body, which burned fiercely beneath the Medicine King Cauldron.
When the Medicine King Cauldron started to heat up, Lionel Yeager mobilized his True qi, and waved his left hand.
Everyone saw the ice and snow from a nearby Snow Mountain whirl in and fall into the Medicine King Cauldron.
The Snow Mountain here is less polluted, so using the ice water from here for Pill Refinement would yield great results.
Once the ice and snow fell into the Medicine King Cauldron, it was quickly melted into boiling water, rising in steamy clouds.
When the water inside the Medicine King Cauldron fully boiled, Lionel Yeager waved his left hand again.
Stalks of medicinal materials shot up into the sky and fell into the Medicine King Cauldron.
The Pill Refinement officially began...
The likes of Ivy Chaplin on the side watched with amazement, their eyes filled with astonishment!
Although they had seen Alchemists refining pills before, they had never seen an Alchemist like Lionel Yeager who made it seem so pleasing to the eye, as if performing a piece of art!
Nicholas Lester sighed, saying, "It is not difficult to see from Mr. Yeager’s pill refining technique that he is definitely a top Alchemist! This kind of Alchemy Art is probably unmatched even by the Alchemists in the top sects!"
Ivy Chaplin and others nodded, utterly admiring Lionel Yeager.
The sky gradually darkened.
Lionel Yeager had also refined quite a few elixirs, such as Gathering Spirit Pill, Replenishing Qi Pill, Blood Activation Pill, Nurturing Origin Pill, and so on.
When the refining was over.
Lionel Yeager put the Medicine King Cauldron and the remaining medicinal materials into his storage ring and then began to store the elixirs in small porcelain bottles.
Nicholas Lester, Ivy Chaplin, and others just stared blankly at these elixirs before them, literally drooling.
Lionel Yeager laughed, saying, "All right, look at you guys, your eyeballs are about to fall out."
Nicholas Lester, Ivy Chaplin, and others scratched their heads with sheepish smiles.
After packing up the elixirs, Lionel Yeager gave some to Nicholas Lester, Ivy Chaplin, and the others.
"Thank you for giving us these elixirs, Mr. Yeager!"
"Mr. Yeager is indeed generous. Following you is the best decision we’ve ever made!"
"Mr. Yeager, even if you ask us to climb a knife mountain or plunge into a sea of flames, we’ll never refuse!"
Nicholas Lester, Ivy Chaplin, and the others were delighted and repeatedly expressed their gratitude.
They initially thought Lionel Yeager would only give them a few pills, but they didn’t expect to receive a few bottles each.
Lionel Yeager replied with a smile, "I told you, I never shortchange my friends.
As long as you work sincerely for me, I’ll give you even better things in the future."
Hearing these words, Nicholas Lester, Ivy Chaplin, and the others were moved to tears.
After gathering the rest of the elixirs, Lionel Yeager said, "Alright, I’ll heal your wounds first, then I’ll help Mr. Lester breakthrough in his cultivation level."
"Mr. Yeager, you also know medical skills?"
Nicholas Lester asked in surprise.
Ivy Chaplin quickly answered, "Mr. Lester, you might not know this, but not only does Mr. Yeager have medical skills, his medical skills are extremely profound! He easily healed our severe internal injuries!"
Nicholas Lester sighed and said, "Mr. Yeager practices Martial Arts, Alchemy, and he is also skilled in medicine, he can simply do everything!"
Christopher Weil added with a smile, "Mr. Yeager is also an Arts Master!"
Nicholas Lester’s body trembled as he exclaimed, "I am impressed, I am truly impressed! Mr. Yeager is not just an ordinary man, he is a celestial teacher!"
Lionel Yeager replied irritably, "Alright, alright, stop flattering me. Just sit down cross-legged, imbibe a Gathering Spirit Pill, and I will help you break through your cultivation level."
Nicholas Lester nodded his head, then sat cross-legged and swallowed a pill.
Once the pill was ingested, Nicholas Lester closed his eyes and began his cultivation training.
Lionel Yeager then picked up three silver needles, which he swiftly inserted into the three major acupoints on Nicholas Lester’s head.
Ivy Chaplin, who was standing nearby, curiously asked, "Mr. Yeager, can inserting a silver needle in one’s head help Mr. Nicholson break through his cultivation?"
Lionel Yeager nodded and said, "The head is the collection point of all Yang Energy, which includes the essence of all five organs and the Yang energy of the six viscera. The method of inserting a needle at the top of Mr. Nicholson’s head is to activate his body’s Yang Energy and unlock his potential. After all, Mr. Nicholson is getting old, and his Yang Energy is somewhat insufficient.
Of course, the main reason is that his cultivation is only a half-step away from the Late Stage of Martial Saint, therefore this method can help him break through. If he was extremely far from the Late Stage of Martial Saint, this method wouldn’t be much use."
Ivy Chaplin respectfully acknowledged, "I’ve learned a lot."
The gaze Christopher Weil and others had on Lionel Yeager was filled with admiration.
During their time with this young man, they seemed to learn a lot.
Less than half an hour had passed.
Nicholas Lester suddenly felt a low rumbling sound coming from his belly!
Nicholas Lester let out a resounding roar, abruptly flinging his eyes wide open, and two blinding streaks of light shot out from his pupils.
A tide of pressure equivalent to a mountain crashing down erupted from his body, causing the earth and mountains to rumble!
A few minutes passed.
Everything finally returned to calmness.
Lionel Yeager then waved his right hand and withdrew the silver needles.
At this moment, Nicholas Lester’s face was radiant, his spirit was high, and his aura was different from before.
He quickly got up and bowed deeply towards Lionel Yeager, "Thank you, Mr. Yeager, for assisting me in advancing my cultivation. I will be forever grateful for your kindness!"
"We are all family, don’t mention it."
Lionel Yeager waved his hand, glanced at the sky, and said, "It’s getting dark. We should leave here as soon as possible."
Everyone nodded and prepared to leave with Lionel Yeager.
Roars came from far away.
"Stop there, all of you! Stay right where you are!"
"Chase them, hurry up and chase them, we can’t let them escape!"
Apart from the roars, there were also the sounds of gunfire!
Lionel Yeager and the others were stunned and looked towards the deeper part of the mountains.
"What’s happening over there? Why do I hear people shouting?"
Nicholas Lester asked suspiciously.
Lionel Yeager thought about it and said, "Let’s go and check it out."
