Chapter 1852: Chapter 672: The Opportunity is Approaching_2

One of the Immortal Kings had secretly made up his mind that if this little thing dared to yap again, he would ensure she understood what respecting hierarchical order meant!

Just as Charlotte was about to speak, a commotion came from outside. The sound of messy footsteps filled the air, as a large crowd of people rushed in while shouting, "Tobe Maxwell is here!"

"Hehehe! Let’s see the practical skills of this so-called new generation’s top artisan!"

"Everyone, step aside. Let the number one artisan show his skills!"

Everyone seemed to be praising Tobe Maxwell, but their tone was laced with schadenfreude, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

The new generation’s top artisan had previously "taken a leave" to avoid the practical task. Why would he suddenly return after a few days and voluntarily request to participate in the task? Tobe Maxwell was smart, everyone admitted that, so he wouldn’t intentionally humiliate himself. But everyone still felt that he was underestimating the difficulty of the task.

There’s no wall that doesn’t leak. Master Tavares had assigned people to "watch over" the dignitary; The Immortal Merit Hall didn’t need to keep their client’s secrets, so everyone quickly found out that the dignitary had exchanged a significant amount of Immortal Merit Points for several Immortal Pills, obviously planning to increase his realm.

Using Immortal Pills to rise in rank was more cost-effective than buying with Immortal Coins - a fact the Emperor Venerables and Immortal Venerables proclaimed to motivate the vast number of immortals to contribute to the Heaven Realm. It was an excellent mechanism that ensured low-level immortals could find success through their efforts. In essence, it meant that if you had no background, no talent, no dependable backing, as long as you worked hard and accumulated Immortal Merit Points, you could hope to rise through the ranks by consuming Immortal Pills.

In reality, the effect of an Ancient Spirit Pill was typically to condense an Immortal Root. But in most cases, after consuming three pills, their effect would significantly decrease. If one wanted to condense 9 Immortal Roots using Ancient Spirit Pills, a solid foundation for ascension to the rank of Immortal General, at least 20 Ancient Spirit Pills would be necessary.

Immortal Roots range from first to ninth grade. If one is more ambitious and doesn’t want roots below the sixth grade - if one condenses roots below the sixth grade after consuming the pills, they are to be severed – then the number of Ancient Spirit Pills needed might even double!

One has to consider the injuries sustained from severing the Immortal Roots, the medicine needed to heal these injuries, and to re-stabilize the foundation. This is also substantial expenditure.

Similarly, at the Immortal General stage, at least nine Will Termination Pills are needed. After taking three, their effect substantially decreases. To condense the Tire-9 Resonances, at least 20 Will Termination Pills are needed.

To ascend to the Immortal King, the longevity Pill is needed. For most immortals who relied on Immortal Pills to rise, one pill is nowhere near enough, at least three are needed, and five for good measure.

All told, even without striving for the utmost, to safely ascend to the rank of Immortal King, one needs at least five thousand Immortal Merit Points!

Besides rare places like Heaven’s Hanging Wall, obtaining such a number of Immortal Merit Points is highly challenging. One could say that, except for rare cases like the dignitary, ordinary immortals couldn’t amass such a number of Immortal Merit Points even after tens of thousands of years of hard work.

So, who exactly is this path of pill-assisted ascension meant for? Of course, it’s for those with profound roots among the Immortal Descendants! Only within their families, could the elders afford such amounts of Immortal Merit Points!

Who among the Emperor Venerables and Immortal Venerables doesn’t have a few disappointing descendants? Should they be left to fend for themselves? What if it’s your favorite descendant?

Therefore, this avenue exists for them, to at least make them Immortal Kings, assuring they have sufficient power and status. Beyond the rank of Immortal King, they have to rely on themselves. The protection of their elders ends there.

In a way, the mighty Immortal Race, that has ruled unchallenged for tens of thousands of years, is not much different from the decadent dynasties in the Lower Realm. The Heaven Realm has not collapsed because, first, it continuously receives the best talents ascending from the Lower Realm, ensuring a steady supply of low to middle-tier talents. Second, thanks to the long lives of the Emperor Venerables and Immortal Venerables, there is no shortage of high-tier fighting power.

Meanwhile, the dignitary had exchanged nine Ancient Spirit Pills, one longevity Pill, and the nine Will Termination Pills given by Master Tavares. This constitutes the most basic configuration to ascend to the Immortal King rank - clearly, ascending to the Immortal King rank or even to Immortal General rank was simply impossible with such a mediocre power level.

The artisans in Hiram Garden felt that the new top-ranked artisan, who had never been tested, thought a power level at the level of an Immortal General is sufficient?

He would undoubtedly make a fool of himself the moment he started to work.

A great many of the dignitary’s detractors among the subjects of The King Primo and Spirit Record Fairy King in Hiram Garden genuinely bore him ill will, and couldn’t wait for him to make a fool of himself. Most of the rest desired the same out of petty jealousy.

The dignitary had just been to the Raising Hall and found out that every task was stuck at the Thought Institute. He quickly rushed over and the artisans, upon getting the news, immediately followed suit, their numbers swelling along the way.

Charlotte’s eyebrows furrowed. Consecutive failures had caused serious delays, and she was already somewhat frustrated. Now, with this disorderly crowd of people showing up, it felt like a spanner had been thrown in the works.

However, leading the crowd was "Tobe Maxwell". She recognized his demonstrated capabilities in designing Country-protecting Immortal Artifacts and had to suppress her irritation, glaring at him with a somewhat adorable fury. What the little fairy didn’t know was that the dignitary’s timely appearance had just saved her little life.
