Watching the big shots bustling around in the crowd, Peter Brown felt indifferent.
Now Peter knew the identity of the Royal Prince.
It turned out that the Royal Prince’s name was Akshay Johnson, and he had gone to the third level to refine magic treasures after arriving here. The City Lord attached great importance to him and initially sent people outside to guard him, fearing that someone might interfere with his refining.
However, it turned out that Akshay Johnson was not a generous person. Worried that someone might discover his refining situation, he bluntly refused to have guards around.
The City Lord thought about it and felt that it made sense. The Earthfire within the third level was too fierce, and no one could enter. Naturally, the City Lord didn’t pay much attention to this place.
In addition, it coincided with the Examination, some Alchemists were drawn here to be in charge of the Examination. Fearing that there would be too many people during the examination, all the people were drawn here to maintain order.
No one could have expected that Peter would enter during that time, and no one paid much attention to his entrance, allowing him to walk to the third level.
Of course, some people saw Peter entering the third level, but after he drew away the Earthfire, the mountain collapsed, naturally pressing everyone inside, and no one could mention Peter’s entry.
After learning about this situation, Peter became more at ease. He estimated that only Kian Harrison would know he entered. However, Kian Harrison didn’t reveal who taught him alchemy, and it seemed that he wouldn’t divulge this matter either.
Now everyone firmly believed that Akshay Johnson was the one who stole the Earthfire, but he had disappeared, leaving the City Lord frustrated.
From various clues, it could be seen that the City Lord could only treat this matter lightly.
Seeing this situation, Peter wondered what the Human Clan would do. He really didn’t know what actions Daniel Swift and others would take.
Nevertheless, Peter wouldn’t pay too much attention to this matter.
After picking up some more information, Peter returned to his residence.
The moment he entered the courtyard, Sarah came up and asked, "Master, are you back?"
Peter didn’t hurry to check his Pill Furnace and just sat there, waiting for his meal.
While eating, Sarah filled him in on what they learned.
"Master, everyone is now gossiping about one thing. They say that Akshay Johnson is already a Foundation Establishment stage expert, and there aren’t many people who can kill him. Moreover, he is from the Royal Clan and doesn’t care for a fifth-class spiritual fire. It’s unreasonable for him to steal the Earthfire. This matter should be the doing of someone with power in the city," said Sarah.
Upon hearing this, Peter had a hunch and understood some of Daniel Swift’s ideas. They were probably trying to create public opinion to cast suspicion on the City Lord.
"Is there any news that someone in the city from the Human Clan has done something?" Peter casually asked.
Sarah responded, "There’s a rumor that Akshay Johnson once had his eyes on the City Lord’s twentieth concubine and did some unspeakable things, which angered the City Lord. The City Lord even said he would make Akshay Johnson pay."
"How much truth do you think there is to this?" Peter asked.
Sarah chuckled, "We don’t know the truth, but some rumors say that Akshay Johnson truly resented the City Lord and didn’t want the guards he sent."
Peter silently praised the Human Clan’s people for using various whispers to create the impression that the City Lord assassinated Akshay Johnson and framed him for the loss of the Earthfire.
"Ah, Sarah, I see your cultivation is only at the Qi Refining Second Layer?"
Peter suddenly changed the subject, and asked.
With a wry smile, Sarah said, "Maybe my spiritual roots are not good."
Peter looked at Sarah’s spiritual roots and discovered Sarah had a water attribute Dark Spiritual Root, which was a mid-grade spiritual root. This kind of spiritual root required a certain type of elixir to stimulate. As long as the spiritual roots’ attributes were activated, her cultivation would be quick.
After thinking for a moment, Peter said to Sarah, "I’ve noticed that your spiritual roots are not the incomplete Water Spiritual Roots tested by outsiders, but a rare mid-grade Water Spiritual Root, specifically, the Dark Water Spiritual Root."
Sarah had never heard of this and looked at Peter.
Peter continued, "You may not know about this, but you indeed have a Dark Spiritual Root, a rare water attribute mid-grade spiritual root."
"Ah! Master, are you telling the truth?" Sarah was completely stunned by the situation. She was of low status and couldn’t afford an in-depth test. Hearing Peter say this, she felt a little dazed.
Seeing Peter nod his head, Sarah was puzzled, "But, I’ve always been unable to cultivate. Even though it’s a mid-grade spiritual root, there’s no reason for me to be struggling after cultivating for so many years!"
Peter smiled faintly, "In general, a Dark attribute spiritual root needs to take a Spirit Awakening Pill. As long as you take the pill, your Dark attribute spiritual root will be awakened, and your cultivation will naturally speed up."
"Spirit Awakening Pill?"
Sarah looked at Peter in confusion, not knowing what kind of elixir that was.
When she thought about how she couldn’t afford elixirs, Sarah’s expression dimmed.
Given Sarah’s income, she knew she couldn’t afford elixirs or even ordinary cultivation materials. If that was the case, there was no way she could afford the Spirit Awakening Pill.
Seeing Sarah’s expression, Peter thought she had been serving him well. He handed her a Jade Slip with some ocean materials engraved on it, gave her some Sea Coins and said, "You go buy some of these materials. I’ll help you refine an elixir."
"Really?" Sarah looked at Peter in astonishment.
Peter smiled, waved his hand, and went into the house.
At this moment, Sarah was dumbfounded. She initially thought it wasn’t good to follow Peter, as it couldn’t compare to working in a tavern. But now, she realized she was following an extraordinary person.
Maybe from now on, her life would take a different turn!
Looking at Peter’s house, Sarah’s mindset underwent a massive change.
