I Am Unstoppable

Like in a huge factory, every section in the alchemy department was in charge of a different task.

The herbs were processed by tons of fancy machinery and inspected by quality assurance specialists before being labeled as final products.

As Jonathan continued following Beatrix further into the area, he realized alchemy was a really difficult process.

It will definitely take more than one person to do all this. The amount of money, resources, and manpower required are insanely huge!

Jonathan saw four senior alchemists controlling the flame beneath Luminary Vessel with their energy.

Upon getting a closer look, Jonathan realized something really strange about the flame. Not only was it blue in color, but he also couldn't feel any heat from the outside.

On top of that, the blue flame seemed to be coming out of thin air.

“What's with that flame?” Jonathan asked curiously.

Not wanting to disturb the senior alchemists, Beatrix replied softly, “These are igneous rocks that we get from the bottom of volcanoes. They can be ignited with mana to generate a large amount of heat, which is required to activate the formation inside Luminary Vessel. However, these are extremely rare and get used up pretty quickly, so our disciples need to go on missions to collect them. While it is technically easier because the locations of the igneous rocks are fixed, it is still a very dangerous task. Many disciples have died in the process of collecting them.”

Jonathan gasped in shock when he heard that. My goodness... Alchemy really is difficult! I feel like cultivation is as hard as rocket science! One simply cannot reach such levels without having absurd amounts of money, resources, and manpower! Thanks to all those misleading portrayals of alchemy in movies, I used to think alchemy was as simple as dumping all the ingredients into a cauldron and lighting a fire underneath it. This is so much different than what I had imagined!

“It's getting late, so you should head back and get some rest. Make sure to save my number so you can give me a call if you run into any trouble. I'll help you out as long as it is not against any rules or law and within my power,” Beatrix said when they left the alchemy department about half an hour later.

“Thanks, Beatrix!” Jonathan replied gratefully.

Beatrix flashed him a faint smile and gave him her number.

Jonathan saved it in his phone, and the two said goodbye before going their separate ways.

While making his way back, Jonathan realized that Beatrix was actually a warm and kind person despite her cold and sharp demeanor.

As he returned to Sunny Condo in the wee hours of the morning, Lailah and Yuna were both fast asleep.

Jonathan made sure to be as quiet as possible when entering his room.

Instead of going to sleep right away, he sat cross-legged on the bed and popped the Trio Vitality Pill into his mouth.

Jonathan could feel the Trio Vitality Pill being converted into three streams of pure vital energy the moment it went down his throat.

To have three streams of vital energy surging around his body like crazy was a really peculiar experience for him, so Jonathan decided to focus on feeling every second of it.

Back then, he had to take a deep breath to cleanse his blood and bone marrow.

This elixir pill, however, could do all of that for him on its own.

The three streams of pure vital energy soon diffused into his bloodstream instead of being absorbed by his cells, much to Jonathan's surprise.

As the pure vital energy increased the rate of his blood flow, Jonathan could feel his blood and bone marrow getting stronger.

It felt like his body was undergoing some kind of transformation.

After what seemed like forever, the three streams of pure vital energy disappeared from his body.

Jonathan got up and threw a couple of punches to test his strength. Although his output remained the same, he could clearly feel a significant improvement deep down inside.

Because his cultivation had been progressing far too rapidly, his body was barely able to keep up with it.

His situation could be described as a car becoming unstable when traveling at speeds it wasn't built to handle.

Naturally, that was an extremely unhealthy practice.

Thanks to the improvement from the Trio Vitality Pill, his body was strengthened enough to keep up with his cultivation level.

Jonathan's progress in the final stage of Nascent Soul had reached that of Simon's level.

Under normal circumstances, it would take him about another six months of training before he could reach Celestial Soul.

After consuming Trio Vitality Pill, however, all Jonathan needed was an opportunity.

This is just like having a relationship. My current condition is akin to having a car, a house, and lots of money. All that's left to do is wait for fate to bring a wonderful woman into my life. I also have two Ninth Immortality Pills, which are much more potent than the Trio Vitality Pill I just consumed, but I don't plan on using them. After all, elixir pills are merely supplements to give one a little extra boost. Instead of becoming dependent on them, I would much rather rely on gaining more experience and knowledge to strengthen myself. Besides, I was planning on giving the two Ninth Immortality Pills to Mabel and Simon, so it was never my intention to consume those pills anyway. That aside, there is one more thing that puzzles me. The Spirit Gathering Pills that I consumed in the past have been absorbed by the cells in my body, so why was the Trio Vitality Pill absorbed by my blood and bone marrow instead? Could it be that the Trio Vitality Pill is capable of affecting our bodies depending on what we need? Is it because Trio Vitality Pills are Immortal Pills? Is that why they know my blood and bone marrow need strengthening? Now that I think about it, it wouldn't benefit my Nascent Soul cultivation if my cells absorbed all that stuff. Yeah, this must be the case!

Jonathan felt a lot better after arriving at that conclusion.

He then lay down in bed and began planning what he should do next.

I'll head back to Yaleview tomorrow and give Mabel a Ninth Immortality Pill. Then, I'll pay Catherine, Alicia, and Amber a visit. After that, I'll take on new missions and collect elixir pills. I will also have to focus on my cultivation, which is of utmost importance right now. Oh, almost forgot about giving Simon a Ninth Immortality Pill! Simon and the others will also need to complete the ritual to become Master Richard's disciples. Wait a minute... Is my mark still that of the Silver rank now that I'm an inner disciple?

Jonathan quickly checked his Silver mark and saw that it had turned dark gold.

A dark gold dragon? That's the mark for inner disciples! People like Gideon, Oswald, and those first-generation disciples have black dragon marks. Everybody knows that the inner disciples with black dragon marks are not to be trifled with. Gideon, Oswald and the others may not seem all that powerful compared to Emperor of Chanaea, but they're pretty much gods among men to most other people.

Emperor of Chanaea is so powerful that he has left the physical realm and roams the void as a primordial spirit. Lance's cultivation stage is so high that its progression is beyond our comprehension. It's just like those billionaires with hundreds of billions in their bank accounts. Ordinary people like us can't even come close to imagining the figures they're dealing with on a daily basis.

Man, I feel like I'm finally stronger than Edward and Jeremy! I went through a lot of hardships along the way, but the outcome makes it all worth it. Of course, I'm not going to settle for this. Power is king both inside and outside of Divine Realm. I need to have the power to back up my level, or people will never show me the respect I deserve.

Lance is no different. He is about the same age as Gideon and the others, but he's able to command them without having to worry about Divine Emperor. This is only possible due to him being so ridiculously powerful. This reminds me, where are Asura Emperor and Demon Emperor right now? Have they also transcended this realm like Lance did?

Exhausted from all that thinking, Jonathan closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

At about three in the morning, he felt an intense rage surge through him all of a sudden.

That shocked Jonathan so much that he sat bolt upright immediately.

To his surprise, that intense rage faded away as quickly as it came.

The fact that it came from Lailah's room made it all the more disturbing.

Huh? What's happening to Lailah at this hour? Something doesn't feel right...

With that in mind, Jonathan quickly threw his clothes on and made a mad dash toward her bedroom door.
