King Of Magical Golems

We reached the Spirit Root Testing Area. There not much of a crowd as it is not the time of accepting new disciples. But there are still some people standing there waiting for someone.

"Oh, I forgot that that today is the day that Alchemist Master from the Austin family is coming selecting assistant disciples for pill testing. But I heard he has to be personally tested by the Alchemist Master in both knowledge and aptitude. I wonder who will be the one being selected?"

I looked at the people and wondered why were they so excited to become servants.

I looked at them bewildered and moved on to the Spirit Root testing hall. Inside there was an old man in elder's robe talking with a middle-aged man who wore a robe with fire '🔥' symbol. I walked inside but didn't interrupt them as it would be rude. After some time the middle-aged man noticed me and looked at me with confusion. That time Ron beside greeted the middle-aged man.

"Good day to you, Sir Austin."

The middle-aged man was one of the alchemists from the Austin family who have become an alchemist master, Master Damian Austin.

He looked at Ron and said loudly.

"Didn't I told you already that I don't have time to make Revitalisation Pill. Even you say that you wanted to save your friend I just don't have time for it. There is no need for you come to see me again."

I looked at Ron surprised. So he wasn't actually fooling around when I was hurt. I felt warmth when I looked at him. Ron looked at me with an awkward face and looked back to Master Damian clearly annoyed but still maintained a respectful stance.

"Sir Austin, I think you may be mistaken. I don't want the pill anymore. As you can see my friend is alright. I came with him today to re-examine his Spirit Root again" He replied in a slightly sarcastic tone.

Master Damian was embarrassed because he acted arrogantly thinking Ron will again beg him for the pill and he wanted to show off to the elder beside him but he was wrong. Master Damian looked at the elder. He was Elder Silas, The administrator of Entrance Testing and also the one of the High Elder of the Elders Assembly.

I stepped forward and bowed to Elder Silas and said. "Good day, Master Silas. It was me who wanted to examine my Spirit Root again."

"Hmm...I remember you had a Grade one spirit pill and was awaked with the help of a herb. Anyway, I can test your Spirit Root again. Come, child, sit on that formation platform."

As I was kind of feeling excited already even if I actually haven't confirmed about it. I reached the platform and sat on it. When formation activated I felt the energy around me gatherings and entering my body through my head and leaving to the platform.{ew🤢....disgusting.🤮A/n: as for why you have to find it}

The crystals linked to the formation began to shine. There were a total of 9 crystals representing nine Grades. First one began to shine brightly and quickly the second one also shone so is the third one. Apart from me and Ron who was expecting this, everyone including assistants of Elder Silas in the testing room was surprised. Because they heard that the sitting on the platform was only a grade one before but improved his Spirit Root. It was impossible unless he has eaten a high-grade pill or rare herbs.

I wasn't paying attention to them as I was concentrating on the crystals. I noticed the speed of glowing has slowed down. I frowned. The fifth crystal also lit up. The sixth crystal just flickered but didn't shine. I sighed softly.

'I guess its better than to become a trash. Well, it still means I can cultivate faster than before. Ron also had a 5 grade Spirit Root and he is already a Spirit Warrior. If I worked a little harder I am sure I can become stronger. At least I won't be beaten like last time. When I thought about the incident I became gloomy.'

"Congrats young man. It seems like you had a lucky encounter. If you don't mind can you tell this old man about it?" Everyone seems to be curious about it. I told the same story to Elder Silas. Although assistants didn't get what fruit it is, Elder Silas and Master Damian surely knew about it. Elder Silas only smiled at me, but that wasn't the case with Master Damian. He yelled angrily at me.

" What, you actually wasted an Elven Wine fruit for your stupid injury. You could have clearly exchanged with me for some mid-grade pill that could have healed you even from a paralyzed state.!"

Ok. My punching face skill began to activate on its own again but I quickly shut it down. Just when I was about to retort him Ron replied in my stead.

"Oh, I remember you have said that you don't have any healing pills and didn't even have the time to make it." He didn't allow Master Damian to answer back as he continued. " But. that's not our problem because I don't think the Elven Wine Fruit is only worth 'your' Mid-grade healing pill. Also, my friend didn't have the slightest clue about the Elven Wine Fruit and if knew...I am sure he would have eaten it right away." Some assistants chuckled softly. I also laughed.

"You__" Master Damian was clearly angry. Just before he began to scold us an overbearing shout came.

"DAMIAN...You are overstepped your boundary. Don't forget you are in my territory."

Master Damian's feet were shaking. I first thought he was shaking in fear but I quickly knew I was wrong when I noticed the Mana disturbance. It seems like some energy was controlling mana around and pressed it towards Master Damian, like pressuring him.

Ron beside Alex muttered himself softly "Spirit King" [1]

"Plea_please forgive me, Elder Silas. I shall leave right away." Master Damian apologized to Elder Silas. After he was gone We also left saying goodbye to The Elder.
