The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

“If you want to accelerate your Arcane Star cultivation, the ninth floor cultivation room of the Tower of Refining Beasts is a good choice,” Lilith Hoyle suggested.

“The ninth floor is too expensive, and students might not be able to afford it,” David Jones said with a difficult expression.

As far as he knew, during the last opening of the Tower of Refining Beasts, the first-floor cultivation rooms charged 500 credits per day. The higher the floor the more credits it would require, and the ninth floor’s cultivation rooms charged as much as 5,000 credits per day.

To put that in context, David was currently ranked first on both lists and earned a combined reward of 60,000 credits per month.

Though it seemed like a lot, it would only allow him to stay at the ninth floor of the Tower of Refining Beasts for a maximum of twelve days.

“Do you know about the ranking competition of the Tower of Refining Beasts?” Lilith Hoyle smiled.

David blinked, “Yes, teacher. What do you mean?”

“You are the face of our Rosewood College, so I’ve applied for a special privilege for you,” Lilith Hoyle said with a faint smile. “As long as you can overpower the top five students during the opening period of the Tower of Refining Beasts and rank first, the ninth floor’s cultivation rooms will be open to you for free.” Hearing this, David’s eyes widened with excitement.

Do you know how significant it is for the ninth-floor cultivation rooms to be available for free?

At a rate of 5,000 credits per day, it would cost 900,000 credits for half a year This enormous amount of credits could even be exchanged for a legendary treasure.

“I understand, teacher. I will definitely take first place,” David said confidently. “Very well. In this world, the strong become stronger while the weak become weaker. As long as you maintain this ambitious momentum, achieving a Class VII Epic will be effortless for you,” Lilith Hoyle nodded slightly, retrieving a dark purple jade plaque and a bottle of elixir from her Star Ring.

“When you reach the top of the Beast Refining Tower, you can use this Buddha Token to access the ninth-floor cultivation rooms. As for the Sun Elixir inside the bottle, consider it my personal reward for you. The Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk you and Grau found has helped me a great deal,” Lilith Hoyle said.

Thank you, teacher,” David replied before using his Illusion-Piercing Eye to see the elixir’s information, his eyes instantly brightening.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Early in the morning, the Tower of Refining Beasts officially opened, and a large number of students rushed to secure their spots, fearing there would be no available cultivation rooms left.

At the Rosewood Square, David met all the members of the Purple Haze Club for the first time.

Besides Jade Bailey, whom he had recruited personally, there were three men and one woman in the crowd.

“Hello, President,” they said in excitement.

David nodded habitually, seeing the Trainer fans who followed him like Star Chasers. At first, he was surprised, but eventually grew accustomed to it. Thinking about the information Margaret provided about the four new members, he praised her work in his mind.

Each of the four new members joining the Purple Haze Club were Pharmacy prodigies. But the one who surprised David the most was the addition of the Purple Star List’s fourth-ranked Sean Wooley.

Sean Wooley was a famous Class IV apex Alchemist in the Pharmacy Department of Rosewood College. He was a handsome man with deep eyes and a prominent nose.

He wore a Pharmacist robe, and there was a faint scent of medicine lingering on his body. Occasionally, his eyes flashed with pride.

However, upon seeing David Jones, the arrogance in his eyes would change to an imperceptible reverence.

As for the other three, they were Donna Gregory, a Class IV Alchemist at the initial stage of Flare IV, Charles Clark at the peak of Flare III, and Claud Brenda at the later stage of Flare III.

Donna Gregory was a slender, tall silver-haired girl with pigtails, looking like a girl next door, giving off a gentle vibe.

Charles Clark’s appearance was a bit ordinary. Dressed in a suit, his face showed a trace of nervousness and restraint. David Jones could even see the back of his hand turning pale with anxiety.

On the other hand, Claud Brenda, who stood half a step behind Sean Wooley, had a rather androgynous appearance and a sturdy muscular frame that didn’t quite match David Jones’ impression of a pharmacist.

“Thank you for your trust! I believe that with our combined efforts, the Purple Haze Club will eventually become a top pharmacy force in Rosewood City and even in Rosewood College.”

After shaking hands with the new members and offering a few words of encouragement, David Jones finally got to the main point.

“In the coming period, I plan to compete for the rankings in the Beast Refining Tower and devote my time to cultivation, so I won’t be able to participate in the Purple Haze Club’s alchemy guidance for probably half a year.” Upon hearing this, the four new members’ expressions slightly darkened. They joined the Purple Haze Club for the sake of learning from David Jones, the disciple of the Great Grandmaster Alchemist. If they couldn’t see the President for half a year, wouldn’t it be the same as not joining the club at all?

Sean Wooley felt the heaviest among the four.

Among the club’s “Five Greats” seniors, only two were left, him and Helen Cloud, who would graduate in another half year.

If he couldn’t see President David Jones for the next half year, he feared he might miss out on the opportunity to advance further.

“Although the alchemy guidance will be halted, the pharmacy gatherings organized by the Club will continue as usual.

I have here a SS tier Class VI elixir, the Sun Elixir, to serve as a prize Once I come out of reclusion, whoever in the Club has produced the most elixirs of the highest grade will win this Sun Elixir.” David Jones said with a smile.

As they heard the prize for the alchemy gathering was a Sun Elixir the pharmacists present couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath. Even the old man guarding the Rosewood Divine Wood in the distance cast a glance at David Jones.

“Truly as befitting a disciple of Lilith Hoyle, so generous!” the old man muttered to himself.

Even as an Epic powerhouse, he would not willingly give away a Sun Elixir so easily.

“President, are you serious about this?” Sean Wooley asked excitedly, stepping forward.

Among the Flare V Alchemists in the Purple Haze Club, only two were left besides the President: him and Helen Cloud.

Although he was only a Class IV Alchemist at the peak of Flare IV, if he focused on creating Class IV elixirs, he might not necessarily lose to Helen Cloud.

After all, the President said that they would not only compete on the grade of the elixirs produced but also on the quantity.

Seeing this, Helen Cloud looked expectantly at her senior brother.

The Sun Elixir was a SS tier elixir that many alchemists coveted. One pill could greatly enhance a Fire Type Pet’s affinity for Fire Arcane Force and the ability to control the flames, making the Pharmacy Flame, which was already easy to control, even easier to manipulate.

A Fire Type Pet could only consume one Sun Elixir in its lifetime. Helen’s pet, the Disaster Hound, had already consumed one and could not take another. ’ But if she had the chance to get such a valuable SS tier elixir, Helen Cloud would not easily let it slip away.

Of course, it’s just one Sun Elixir.” David Jones replied confidently.

The necessary expenses for collecting enough elixir soul energy were justified! Regardless, even without him present, Daphne could absorb the elixir soul energy through the Beast Taming Contract by utilizing a small portion of the Illusion-Piercing Eye’s power.

It’S just that without him taking the lead, the members of the Purple Haze Club would not usually gather together to practice alchemy.
