Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

Early the next morning, Corvin and Kennan arrived at the shop, and Meylan continued with the busy work of running the business.

"Boss, you're finally back. Don't forget what you promised us before." Corvin said with a smile as he looked at Sylvus.

Sylvus glanced at the two of them and noticed that their strength had improved quite quickly. Both had already reached the level of Saint Archmage, even stronger than before.

It made sense—he had been away from the shop for over ten days and hadn't cultivated much, whereas these two had been cultivating every day. With the assistance of the pills from his shop, their strength had naturally improved quickly.

"You two haven't yet reached the nine-star Saint Archmage level. There's no need for a tribulation, is there?" Sylvus said, looking at them.

Corvin was a three-star Platinum Knight, while Kennan was a seven-star Saint Archmage, and both were still some way from facing their tribulations.

"Boss, it's Little Tiger who's going to undergo a tribulation, so I'm here to ask for your help." Corvin pointed at the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger on his shoulder.

At this point, the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger had already reached the nine-star Saint Archmage level and was indeed ready to undergo a tribulation.

"Boss, I'm just here to watch." Kennan said with a smile. He was now a seven-star Saint Archmage and would soon reach the nine-star level, and he would also need to undergo a tribulation. He came to observe in advance.

"Have you prepared the magic crystals?"

Sylvus looked at Corvin and asked calmly.

"Boss, rest assured, here are ten billion magic crystals." Corvin said, taking out a magic storage ring and handing it to Sylvus.

Originally, Corvin wanted the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger to undergo the first few strikes of the tribulation by itself. However, the entire continent was in a tense state now, and he was afraid something unexpected might happen.

Moreover, if the tribulation were to take place in the Holy City, without Sylvus's help, even if the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger managed to survive the first few strikes, half of the Holy City would be destroyed in the process.

The Steinway family was wealthy enough, so ten billion magic crystals were a small price to pay.

Sylvus nodded and turned his gaze to the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger.

"Summon the heavenly tribulation."

Hearing this, Corvin gave a nod to the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger.

The Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger, whose eyes had been lazy, suddenly took on a serious expression.

With a roar, the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger flew skyward, its body quickly growing larger. Soon, a massive five-meter-long tiger with wings appeared above the shop.

As the aura of the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger exploded, dark clouds formed in the sky above. Countless purple lightning bolts flickered, and a powerful force of nature enveloped the entire Holy City.

"What's going on? Who has summoned a heavenly tribulation?"

"Look at the sky—it seems to be the mount of Corvin, the young master of the Steinway family. It's happening at the boss's shop. Could it be that the boss is helping that mount with its tribulation?"

"With the boss's help, this heavenly tribulation won't be dangerous. Let's continue cultivating."

The sudden appearance of the heavenly tribulation startled the citizens of the Holy City, but when they saw that the tribulation was occurring at Sylvus's shop, their surprise faded. After all, a heavenly tribulation was nothing before Boss Sylvus.

At the royal palace:

"Father, it's been confirmed that it's Corvin's mount, the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger, undergoing its tribulation at Boss Sylvus's shop," Nat said to Boone.

"Oh? The boss is willing to help that boy's mount with the tribulation? What did he pay for it?" Boone asked in surprise.

Previously, some had asked Sylvus for help with tribulations, and he had refused. Now that he was willing, there had to be a reason.

"Father, I heard before that the boss mentioned that helping with a tribulation costs ten billion magic crystals per attempt," Nat said.

"Ten billion magic crystals?" Boone's eyes lit up.

If that were the case, perhaps he could use this opportunity to help some more human powerhouses emerge. The Bork Empire had quite a few nine-star Saint Archmages. If all of them successfully underwent tribulation and became Mage Emperors, it would greatly enhance their strength when the Undead invaded.

"Come with me to the boss's shop," Boone said, heading out.

Meanwhile, the heavenly tribulation in the sky had already gathered.

A bolt of purple lightning shot down toward the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger.

Everyone's gaze turned to Sylvus, including the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger.

Just as the lightning was about to strike the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger, Sylvus made a slight movement with his mind. The fierce lightning suddenly turned docile and gently landed on the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger, whose aura began to grow rapidly.

One by one, the heavenly tribulation bolts fell, all of them easily controlled by Sylvus and absorbed by the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger.

Although it wasn't the first time seeing this, everyone present was still deeply amazed. After all, this was a heavenly tribulation, and the man lying in the chair could control it with terrifying ease.

When the final heavenly tribulation bolt was absorbed, the aura of the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger surged, reaching the level of a one-star Mage Emperor.

Feeling the increase in strength, the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger couldn't help but let out a loud roar, filled with joy.

It hadn't expected it to be so easy to become a ninth-level magical beast.

"Thank you, Boss, for your assistance."

The Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger descended and expressed its gratitude to Sylvus.

It had previously taken the Spirit Speech Pill, which allowed it to speak.

"It was just a transaction. If there's nothing else, you can leave now." Sylvus waved his hand dismissively.

Corvin and Kennan didn't linger either. They purchased more pills worth billions of magic crystals before leaving.

Not long after they departed, Boone arrived.

Seeing Boone, Sylvus frowned.

"If you're here to try and persuade me again, you can leave now."

"Boss, I'm not here about that. I'm just here to propose a transaction." Boone said with a smile.

Sylvus narrowed his eyes and then nodded.

"How many people?"

He had just helped the Twin-Winged Roaring Tiger successfully undergo its tribulation, and now Boone had come. It was obvious what his intention was.

"As expected, nothing escapes the boss. In the Bork Empire, there are a total of 132 nine-star Saint Archmages."

Over a hundred people?

Hearing this number, Sylvus was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected there to be so many nine-star Saint Archmages. At ten billion magic crystals per person, that would amount to over a trillion magic crystals.

"Boss, the reason there are so many nine-star Saint Archmages is because of the pills from your shop. I wonder if you would be willing to help them?" Boone asked hopefully.

Sylvus thought for a moment before nodding. Only a fool would pass up such easy money.

"Have them all come tomorrow."
