I CAN GIVE TALENTS

Leyvi and the party exited the city through the east gate as their destination this time would be northeast from here. They were heading to the largest cultivator city in the South Region, Holy Cat City. The South Region Alchemy Association's main branch headquarters was based in this city.

It was said that the reason the city was named Holy Cat City was because the founder of the city was once saved by a Demonic Cat which would later become her spirit beast. Due to this, harming any cat in the city would be considered a big crime, and the cats were highly beloved and considered sacred in the city.

Anyone below 30 years old at the time the Alchemy Conference started was invited to join the event. Anda would be 23 years old by the time they reached the city later. Leyvi couldn't wait to see all of the geniuses who would be participating in the conference. Some of them might be the next big figure for the next generation of cultivators.

As Leyvi's party was getting further and further away from Bara City, Linda, the manager of Bara City Treasure Pavilion sighed in her office,

"Alchemist Master Anda has departed. It looks like the city will be boring again. I had so much fun in the past half a year. I hope she comes here again." Linda sat lazily on her chair while talking to herself.

Bzzt.

"Hmm?" Suddenly Linda got a message from one of her subordinates.

"It seemed someone was trying to find trouble with the Leyan Family. Should I help them?" Linda contemplated. Morally, she didn't have to. She has no obligation to help them.

"Alchemist Master Anda is still my business partner, I can't just ignore this." Linda decided to help based on the business relationship they had. The next moment, she disappeared from her chair.

....

Leyvi sighed. Being too popular was not a good thing. Some people would always be jealous of their success and try to harm them.

Leyvi saw three people following them from his spiritual sense. It was two male and one female. The younger male has late-stage Foundation Building cultivation, the older male has early-stage Core Formation cultivation and the middle-aged female also has early-stage Core Formation cultivation.

Leyvi's party was traveling with carriages pulled by Mr. Bison so their traveling speed was not very fast. The three people with ill intent quickly caught up with them but they kept their distance probably waiting for the best time to attack.

Leyvi's brain operated very fast, thinking about how to deal with this threat. If it were only one Core Formation, Lilian alone would be enough and he would support her if necessary. However, two were very troublesome to deal with. He might need to go all out from the start.

A few moments later, Leyvi formulated a plan and instructed everyone to execute his plan calmly.

At first, the maids and the kids panicked and were afraid for their lives, after all, two Core Formation experts were chasing after them and they were only in the Qi Refinement realm. However, Leyvi's unwavering demeanor calmed them down.

After each of them prepared to carry out the plan, Leyvi signaled.

"Now!"

When Leyvi's signal was heard, Scarlet swapped positions with Mr. Bison. She activated her digging ability and a huge forcefield appeared around her. The forcefield started to drill into the ground and Scarlet pulled the carriages into the hole with her.

When they were inside, Scarlet continued to pull them further. Mr. Bison followed behind the carriages acting as the rearguard.

Outside of the tunnel, Leyvi, Lilian, Anda, Valenia, Layla, and Hana were waiting for the three people to show up.

As Leyvi planned, if the fight broke out, Lilian would fight the middle-aged woman, Leyvi and Anda would fight the old man, while Valenia, Layla, and Hana would fight the young man.

On the other side,

"Mother, they noticed us! Some of them run away underground. Should we chase them?" The young man asked.

"No need! That bitch Alchemy Master is still here. I didn't expect them to have a Core Formation cultivator with them. Who is that bitch?" The arrogant-looking mother asked the old servant.

"Madam, that girl should be their gardener. I saw her planting flowers and trees around their mansion all the time. Because of the formation, I can't find out her cultivation and she never goes out." The old man told her what he knew from spying.

"Hmph! It's just a Core Formation! Do they think they could fight us? My incompetent husband died because of his stupid plan and now we have to suffer too. We were released by the Bureau of Investigation because we were not involved in his plan, but we have lost everything!"

"Arrrggggghh! I'm still angry thinking about it!" The middle-aged women were irritated again. Her wrinkles multiplied due to her anger.

"Mother, calm down. Once we get the special fire, I'll make sure we thrive again." The young man was staring at Anda with hatred.

The young man who held a grudge against Anda was none other than the eldest son of the previous city lord, Mamba. His father Magna promised him that he would give him a unique special fire before the Alchemy Conference started and elevate his alchemy skill. He kept the secret and was waiting for the day to arrive but it all came crashing down when his father died and was labeled as a criminal.

They were arrested and all of their assets were confiscated. They were only left with some hidden stash somewhere. From a respected young master to a nobody, how could he ever endure this rage? The people who saw him looked at him with pity or ridiculing gazes, he wanted to slaughter all of them!

One day, a young Alchemist Master emerged in Bara City and caused a huge storm with her alchemy products. He was envious of this unknown Alchemy Master so he sent the old servant, his mother's slave she obtained when she was young, to spy and collect information on the new Alchemy Master.

He was mad. He was enraged. He was furious when he saw the information. This disfigured girl was given a mansion by the Bureau of Investigation the same day his father was announced as a criminal and she also has a special fire. He was convinced that this girl was related to his father's death and she got the special fire his father reserved for him somehow.

That was my special fire! How dare you take it away from me! Bitch! I will torture you! Kill your family! And take back my special fire! The fame should have been mine!

Mamba was full of hatred toward Anda. He had been waiting for the day she came out of the city to take back what was his.

"Old Bong, go catch that ugly bitch!" Mamba ordered.

"Yes, young master." Old Bong immediately flew toward Anda.

Leyvi who had been watching them sensed their intention.

"Anda! Their target is you! Let's divert this old fart away first! Lilian, take care of that woman! The rest, go in the opposite of my direction!" Leyvi quickly reminded them again then he hugged Anda and flew away to the side as fast as possible. Leyvi's rocket burst could rival the speed of a Core Formation flying.

Valenia, Layla, and Hana flew to the other side so they wouldn't get caught up in a Core Formation battle.

"What?? How come he's so fast?" Old Bong was surprised by Leyvi's flying speed as he chased after his target.

"Don't let that bitch get away!" Mamba's mother, Carom screamed at Old Bong.

She then turned his attention to Lilian and said, "I'll kill this gardener bitch first!"

Carom took out her whip spirit weapon to attack Lilian.

Mamba didn't want to get caught up in their battle too so he went after Valenia's group. He should kill them too. It shouldn't be hard since they were all women and had lower cultivation than him.

After Mamba left, Carom channeled her Qi into her whip, and the whip was on fire quickly.

Lilian was now worried because her opponent had an elemental advantage over her. Lilian summoned her thorned vines, made a thorned shield around her, and sent some of them toward Carom.

"Hahahaha! Wood element? Bad luck bitch! Inferno Whip-Crack!" Carom aggressively attacked Lilian's vines with her flaming whip producing many cracking sounds causing Lilian's vines to burn quickly and dissipate.

Lilian didn't panic. She sent out a bunch of vines again at Carom but this time from two different directions. Carom waved her whip left and right multiple times and she once again managed to destroy Lilian's vines.

After destroying Lilian's attacks two times, Carom was now confident she would win this easily. She immediately flew closer toward Lilian and started attacking her thorned shield.

When Carom was close enough, Lilian focused her entire spiritual sense on Carom and she exerted concentrated spiritual pressure with all her might.

Carom was suddenly pushed down by the heavy pressure and fell directly onto the many thorned vines on the ground.

"ARRRRGGGHHHHH....It hurts!!!" Carom screamed painfully. The thorns were not only sharp, it dug into the skin and amplified the pain.

While Carom was struggling. Lilian didn't waste any time. She summoned a thick huge pointy vine and aimed at Carom's head.

She still remembered Leyvi's advice to make sure her enemy was dead.

The pointy vine stabbed into Carom's head, totally destroying it.

Carom was dead.
