Chapter 234 Success
As the Water Resonance Pill was gradually refined, several faint blue streams of light flashed around Patel Rong, circulating at a very slow speed. After a while, those streams of light were actually mixed with some fiery red colors.
"It actually works!"
Seeing this, Star Megami and Swith Mark stood up with ugly expressions. They cupped their hands toward Patel Rong and then left the Patel family in a hurry, looking like two defeated dogs.
At this moment, they no longer had the face to stay in the Patel family any longer. The disdainful glances from the Patel family members seemed as if they could pierce right through them.
The Red on Blaze Regret's shoulder yawned lightly, then squinted its eyes again, smacking its lips comfortably.
Blaze Regret glanced around, and Patel Shin quickly moved a chair behind him.
"Thank you," Blaze Regret said with a smile and nodded.
"It's my duty, it's my duty," Patel Shin replied with an awkward smile. Although he hadn't held much hope for Blaze Regret's ability to refine the Water Resonance Pill initially, he now understood that his future status in the Patel family depended entirely on this young man.
"Come out!"
Sitting in the chair, Patel Rong's face turned fierce. His withered hand suddenly clenched into a grip like a sharp eagle's claw. Between the claws, a fiery red ball of impurities rapidly grew larger.
Patel Rong's eyes snapped open, and with a wave of his hand, the fiery red ball of impurities turned into a stream of light and embedded itself into the wooden pillar on the right side of the hall with a 'pa' sound.
"So comfortable, so very comfortable!" Patel Rong looked at his hand, which had regained some color, and laughed heartily. For a year, he had endured the torment of the fire refining snake venom, and now he felt a sudden sense of rebirth.
Seeing this scene, the Patel family members in the hall were all excited, and their grateful eyes were all directed at the young man in the black robe.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Patel Kin lowered his head and bit his teeth hard. He knew that he had missed the greatest opportunity of his life.
"Fifth tier spirit Imperial master," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile. Although Patel Rong's strength had not fully recovered, his current aura was already comparable to that of a fifth tier spirit Imperial master. In just half a month, he would return to his peak.
An eighth tier spirit Imperial Master is among the top ranks in the entire Bloodstone Pass.
"My young friend, as promised, this seed of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass is yours," Patel Rong said with a light chuckle, flicking his sleeve to send a faint blue light towards Blaze Regret.
Holding the seed in his hand, Blaze Regret was slightly surprised that Patel Rong handed it over so readily. With a little cultivation, once the Ghostly Fragrant Grass blooms, it could help him at least break through to a ninth tier spirit Imperial Master!
However, Blaze Regret quickly understood. Perhaps the Ghostly Fragrant Grass was a rare treasure in his eyes, but in Patel Rong's mind, it might not be worth damaging his relationship with a second tier alchemist.
"My young friend, I don't recall hearing about you in Bloodstone Pass before," Patel Rong said, looking at Blaze Regret with a slightly puzzled expression. Such a young second tier alchemist would cause quite a stir even in the central empire, let alone in Bloodstone Pass.
"Hehe, Master Patel, I am merely passing through on my travels," Blaze Regret replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Patel Rong felt a bit regretful. If Blaze Regret could stay in Bloodstone Pass, given today's events and with a good relationship, the Patel family would enjoy endless benefits.
"Master Patel, perhaps we will have opportunities to collaborate in the future," Blaze Regret suddenly thought. The Patel family was the second most powerful force in Bloodstone Pass, just behind the Bloodprint Sect. The Blaze family's business dealings also involved the Patel family; if they cooperated, the Blaze family could dominate the spirit beast market in Bloodstone Pass.
The Blood Seal Sect primarily dealt with spirit herbs and medicinal materials, which didn't conflict with spirit beast trading. Therefore, with the Patel family's support, the Blaze family could thrive in Bloodstone Pass.
"Oh? Then I'll be waiting," Patel Rong replied with a faint smile. Given Blaze Regret's talent, he was bound to become a third tier alchemist, possibly even a fourth or fifth tier. By then, even some major families in the central empire would likely set aside their pride to associate with him. This way, the Patel family had indeed struck a great deal.
"By the way, if the Patel family needs anything in the future, feel free to contact me directly," Blaze Regret said, beckoning to Patel Shin. The latter was slightly stunned but quickly walked over.
"Bring the Sound Transmission Conch," Blaze Regret instructed, taking out the conch from his void realms stone. A drop of liquid, as precious as a pearl, was poured into his palm.
Patel Shin's face flushed with excitement as he raised the Sound Transmission Conch slightly. With the infusion of spiritual power, the pearl like liquid swiftly flew over with a "whoosh" sound. In an instant, a faint and indistinct aura connected the two conches, then quickly dissipated.
Seeing this, Patel Rong squinted slightly. It seemed that Blaze Regret had quite a favorable impression of Patel Shin; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken such an action. In the future, if he wanted to contact Blaze Regret, he would have to go through Patel Shin, as only Patel Shin's conch contained Blaze Regret's communication imprint.

"Patel Li, Patel Shin's talent is unique in our Patel family. We need to focus on cultivating him from now on," Patel Rong turned and said with a faint smile to an elder clansman.
"I understand," the elder named Patel Li nodded solemnly. If he lacked even this basic insight, he wouldn't hold an important position in the Patel family.
