Legend of Wyatt

Spiritual Heaven, Desolate Territory, Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation Palace, Thirteenth Prince’s Residence.

"Haha... it’s finally crafted!"

A hearty laughter echoed within a room of a guest courtyard, filling the space. However, because the room was equipped with soundproof formations, the sound did not spread outside.

The owner of the voice was the young man in purple robes, sitting cross-legged on the bed in the room.

The young man in purple robes raised his hand and retrieved the pill furnace floating in the air in front of him. As he opened his other hand, there lay three dark green Immortal Pills in the center of his palm.

The dark green Immortal Pills rested in the young man’s hand, surrounded by what seemed like a layer of green mist, giving a hazy impression.

"Luckily, I had the foundation of experience from previously crafting many top-grade Immortal Pills... Otherwise, this batch of ’Rowan Heaven Pill’ would have been impossible to successfully craft."

The young man in purple was none other than ’Wyatt Barnes,’ who, since returning from Glory Palace, had focused all his energy on Alchemy.

At first, he started by crafting the top-grade Immortal Pill, ’Weaving Pill.’

Compared to other top-grade Immortal Pills, the materials for the Weaving Pill were the most common, and its crafting process was considered relatively simple among top-grade Immortal Pills.

Even so, Wyatt Barnes still spent quite some time before successfully crafting the Weaving Pill, and the first time he succeeded, the pill completion rate was extremely low, with only two perfect pills.

After that, Wyatt Barnes patiently continued crafting the Weaving Pill.

It wasn’t until he spent a long time improving the pill completion rate that he began to craft other top-grade Immortal Pills, which were more common in material but much harder to craft than the Weaving Pill.

Starting with the Weaving Pill, he gradually moved on to crafting other top-grade Immortal Pills, with the difficulty increasing step by step.

Throughout this process, Wyatt Barnes’ Alchemy skills continuously improved...

Later on, Wyatt Barnes had the Thirteenth Prince, ’Crue Dragonsmith,’ help collect the materials needed to craft the top-grade Immortal Pill, ’Rowan Heaven Pill.’

Crue Dragonsmith took a long time and considerable effort to barely gather enough materials for one attempt at crafting the Rowan Heaven Pill. If that attempt failed, it would mean that Wyatt Barnes couldn’t attempt to craft the Rowan Heaven Pill again anytime soon.

After all, the materials needed to craft the Rowan Heaven Pill were extremely rare, and even in the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, they were hard to come by in the entire Desolate Territory.

If there were any place in the Desolate Territory with a relatively abundant supply of Rowan Heaven Pill materials, it would be none other than the three major immortal sects of the Desolate Territory.

However, obtaining the materials from the three major immortal sects in the Desolate Territory was no simple matter.

"Although the pill completion rate is a bit low... this is, after all, my first time crafting the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill.’ Managing to complete three pills is already quite remarkable."

Holding the three Rowan Heaven Pills, Wyatt Barnes got off the bed and left the room to find Leilany, "Let’s give the Rowan Heaven Pill to Leilany to try... see if she can absorb the medicinal power of the Rowan Heaven Pill and rapidly advance her cultivation using it."

"Currently, Leilany is a ’Earth Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal,’ and can still absorb the medicinal power of the Rowan Heaven Pill... Once her full cultivation breaks through to achieve ’Heaven Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal,’ the medicinal power of the Rowan Heaven Pill will be of no use to her."

Upon reaching the backyard, Wyatt Barnes discovered that Leilany wasn’t meditating inside her room, but was instead in the backyard comprehending Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities.

"Brother Leandro!"

Though Leilany was earnestly comprehending Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities in the backyard, she immediately sensed Wyatt Barnes’ entrance and cheerfully approached him, pausing her comprehension.

"Brother Leandro, how did the crafting of the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’ go?"

Leilany knew about Wyatt Barnes’ recent endeavor to craft the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill,’ so it was the first question she asked upon seeing him.

"Alas."

Facing Leilany’s expectant gaze, Wyatt Barnes sighed.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes sigh, Leilany naturally assumed he had failed in crafting the Rowan Heaven Pill, and immediately comforted him:

"Brother Leandro, it’s okay if you failed... After all, it’s the ’Rowan Heaven Pill,’ which is recognized as one of the hardest top-grade Immortal Pills to craft."

"There will be a next time if you failed this time... Leilany believes that next time you will surely succeed in crafting the Rowan Heaven Pill."

As she spoke, Leilany was filled with confidence in Wyatt Barnes.

"Leilany, look at this."

Upon hearing Leilany’s words, Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a smile, deciding not to tease her any longer. He raised his hand and opened his palm, fully revealing the three Rowan Heaven Pills to Leilany.

"This is..."

Leilany’s eyes suddenly brightened at the sight of the Rowan Heaven Pills, "This is the ’Rowan Heaven Pill’?!"

The current Leilany was no longer that naive girl from before.

During her time in Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, she had consumed several memory immortal talismans sent by the Thirteenth Prince, ’Crue Dragonsmith,’ in her free time, which contained much information...

Among them was information about the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill.’

So, at just a glance, she recognized the three pills in Wyatt Barnes’ hand as the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’!

"Indeed."

Wyatt Barnes smiled and nodded, "It is indeed the ’Rowan Heaven Pill.’ However, my first time crafting it resulted in a rather low pill completion rate... merely three pills."

Just as Wyatt Barnes was finishing his sentence, Leilany hadn’t yet had the chance to speak.

"This Rowan Heaven Pill was crafted by you?!"

A powerful exclamation suddenly echoed from high above, clearly reaching the ears of Wyatt Barnes and Leilany, causing them both to change their expressions.

"Who is this?!"

"Who?!"

Upon hearing that exclamation, Wyatt Barnes and Leilany both raised their heads simultaneously, looking towards the sky above the guest house courtyard.

The exclamation had come from there.

And almost at the same time they looked up.

Whoosh!

In the void above the guest house courtyard, a ghostly black figure appeared, wearing a long black robe with gold edges. From his robust build, it was evident he was a man.

Of course, through the exclamation just now, it could also be determined he was a man.

This man, donned in the long black robe with gold trims, after showing up, casually descended from the sky and landed openly some distance in front of Wyatt Barnes and Leilany.

On his face, he wore a golden mask, completely concealing his features, making it impossible to see the true appearance behind the mask.

Additionally, at his waist hung a golden token, carved with a blood-red ’kill’ character, as if stained with blood.

"Gold Medal Assassin?!"

Upon seeing the appearance of the person before them, after spotting the golden token at his waist, Wyatt Barnes’ expression couldn’t help but change again.

Even Leilany’s expression turned grim in an instant.

Wyatt Barnes knew that within the three cities controlled by the three Immortal Sects in the Desolate Territory, there were ’Black Market Assassins’ present.

Black Market Assassins are divided into ’Gold Medal Assassins’, ’Silver Badge Assassins’, and ’Bronze Badge Assassins’.

Among them, Bronze Badge Assassins are the weakest, comprising a group of Daai Law Golden Immortals, with the strongest barely reaching peak Daai Law Golden Immortal status.

Silver Badge Assassins are a group of Love Rowan Upper Immortals, with the strongest being peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals.

Gold Medal Assassins, though few in number, each one is a first-rate ’Immortal Lord’, an exceedingly powerful Immortal Lord!

Both Wyatt Barnes and Leilany had seen records about ’Black Market Assassins’ in the Desolate Territory from some memory Immortal Talismans, so they were very knowledgeable about some of the outfits of Black Market Assassins, recognizing the man before them at a glance as a ’Gold Medal Assassin’.

Of course, there’s another possibility.

The person might not be a Gold Medal Assassin but merely wearing a Gold Medal Assassin’s attire.

However, neither Wyatt Barnes nor Leilany believed this possibility existed.

Because if the person wasn’t above a ’Immortal Lord’, it would be impossible to infiltrate stealthily into the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s royal palace.

Because within the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s royal palace, there is a ’peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal’ stationed, their Divine Sense constantly enveloping the entire palace.

Only those above ’Immortal Lord’ can stealthily infiltrate the palace without being detected.

Therefore:

Wyatt Barnes and Leilany could both conclude:

The person before them was indeed a ’Gold Medal Assassin’ among the Black Market Assassins.

"You could recognize me as a ’Gold Medal Assassin’... It seems you understand us Black Market Assassins."

The burly man in the gold-trimmed black robe, after deeply gazing at Wyatt Barnes from behind his golden mask, then turned his attention to Leilany standing aside.

Currently, Leilany was not wearing a veil or a hat.

Her perfectly exquisite beauty was fully displayed to the burly man who acknowledged himself as a ’Gold Medal Assassin’, causing his eyes to light up with an amazed expression.

"Such a perfect woman... Alas, I’ve never been interested in female beauty, or else, even if I don’t kill you today, I would take you away."

In his words, the Gold Medal Assassin retracted his gaze from Leilany, like a monk indifferent to worldly desires, uninterested and dismissive of female beauty.

"So it really is a Gold Medal Assassin!"

Having received confirmation from the other party, Wyatt Barnes was shocked, his face turned serious as he looked at the man and asked solemnly, "Sir, since you are a Gold Medal Assassin and appeared here... could it be that your target is the two of us?"

"My target is her!"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ inquiry, though the Gold Medal Assassin didn’t look at Leilany again, he reached out and pointed at her while facing Wyatt Barnes.

Swish!

Almost instantly as the Gold Medal Assassin’s words fell, Wyatt Barnes’ face changed abruptly, then he instinctively moved swiftly in front of Leilany, shielding her behind while vigilantly staring at the Gold Medal Assassin.

"Heh!"

Seeing this, the Gold Medal Assassin sneered, "You think... just you, can stop me from killing her?"
