Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1116 – 1116 1116 Alchemy Closed

Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Alchemy, Closed-door Cultivation Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Alchemy, Closed-door Cultivation At the crucial moment of the Holy Region opening, Dominic Taylor was stripped of his cultivation. There was nothing more painful than this.

Apart from Dominic Taylor, Dudley Lynch was also cultivating at this time.

However, his cultivation seemed to have also reached a bottleneck, and after several days of closed-door cultivation, there was no sign of a breakthrough.

“Before the Holy Region opens, I must kill him!” Cold sweat dripped down Dudley Lynch's forehead.

“Leave it to me… Give your body to me, and I can get rid of him at any time…” The hoarse voice spoke again.

Dudley Lynch coldly said, “Forget it, if I give you my body, then what's the point of me existing.”

“Hehe… your body will be mine sooner or later…” The hoarse voice said sinisterly.

Dudley Lynch remained silent.

Although he and this divine sense coexisted, he had always been on guard and was constantly vying for control of his body.

Therefore, Dudley Lynch wanted to improve his cultivation quickly, until he no longer needed the divine sense's help.

Time flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

During these five days, Ethan Smith and the others had refined dozens of Heavenly Essence Pills.

“According to this progress, in another five days, I should have close to a hundred Heavenly Essence Pills in my hands.” thought Ethan Smith.

A hundred Heavenly Essence Pills would be enough to support him in reaching the mid-term Martial Saint stage.

Ever since the news of the Holy Region spread, the world seemed to have become much calmer.

The martial arts world had fallen into silence, and conflicts had dwindled.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that this silence was the calm before the storm.

Suddenly, a week had passed.

Roy Whitehead couldn't hold on any longer. Exhausted, he opened his eyes and weakly said, “I can't do it anymore. In my current state, I can't refine Heavenly Essence Pills.”

The Pavilion Master, who was sitting beside him, leisurely glanced at Roy Whitehead and said, “After so many years, you haven't made much progress.”

Roy Whitehead clenched his teeth, knowing he couldn't bear it any longer. Despite his unwillingness, his body had already reached its limit.

“Hmm, I'd like to see how much longer you can hold on.” Roy Whitehead got up and left.

The Pavilion Master closed her eyes slightly, actually reaching her limit as well. Ethan Smith was in a similar situation.

Both of them were struggling to hold on.

By the ninth day, Ethan Smith and the Pavilion Master couldn't hold on any longer.

The Exotic Flowers in their medicinal cauldrons turned directly into a pile of mud.

This time, the alchemy had failed.

“It seems we've reached our limit as well.” Ethan Smith and the Pavilion Master looked at each other.

The Pavilion Master stood up and slowly said, “Nine whole days, it's already beyond imagination.”

“Yes,” Ethan Smith sighed.

He looked at the Heavenly Essence Pills in front of him, and by now, they had 78 Heavenly Essence Pills in their possession.

“This should be enough.” Ethan Smith waved his hand and collected the Heavenly Essence Pills.

The Pavilion Master nodded slightly and said, “Heavenly Essence Pills can greatly improve your cultivation. Even with your unique physique, 78 pills should be enough for you to reach the mid-term Martial Saint stage.”

Ethan Smith nodded, then said gratefully, “Thank you, Lord Pavilion Master. I won't disturb you any longer and will find a place to close up now.”

“Do you think you can close up in your current state?” The Pavilion Master shook her head.

Ethan Smith stood up, feeling dizzy and nearly falling.

The Pavilion Master was right. In his current state, Ethan Smith really couldn't close up.

“Take a day off.” The Pavilion Master suggested.

“One day is nothing.”

Although Ethan Smith was somewhat anxious, there was no other way at this moment. He could only nod and say, “That's fine, it's been a long time since I've been back to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.”

With that, Ethan Smith leaped down from the Pavilion Master Building.

He went straight to Sofia Carrillo's mansion.

Sofia Carrillo, Violet Russell, and Lulu lived in the same mansion.

Ethan Smith pushed the door open and saw Sofia Carrillo studying an alchemy book.

“Ethan Smith!” Seeing Ethan Smith, Sofia Carrillo immediately ran over with a surprised and happy face.

Ethan Smith sat down with a smile and asked, “Sofia, how has your alchemy improved recently?”

Sofia proudly said, “Of course! Look!”

In her palm, a green spiritual fire appeared.

“Your spiritual fire… It actually advanced? How did you do that?” Ethan Smith asked in shock.

Sofia said, “The Pavilion Master gave me a new flame. After I swallowed it, it became the Green Spirit Fire.”

“So that's how it is.” Ethan Smith suddenly realized.

As they were talking, Lulu and Violet Russell came in from outside.

Seeing Lulu, Ethan Smith felt guilty inside.

Originally, Ethan had promised Lulu that he would take her with him when attacking the Second Secret Realm and let her reunite with her family.

But no one had expected that something would go wrong in between, Obadiah Heptinstall suddenly attacked, and this caused countless casualties in the Second Secret Realm, including Lulu's family.

“Yo, Ethan Smith, what brings you here? What a rare guest!” Violet Russell said mockingly.

Ethan Smith rolled his eyes and said, “I'm an Elder at the Divine Alchemist Pavilion; why can't I be here?”

“Hmph, you're such a busy person.” Violet Russell rolled her eyes.

Ethan Smith shook his head helplessly. Then he looked at Lulu.

“Lulu, about the Second Secret Realm… I can only apologize to you.” Ethan Smith sighed softly, his voice full of guilt.

Lulu shook her head and faintly said, “I heard about it, you can't be blamed. It's all because of Obadiah Heptinstall…”

Despite her words, Ethan Smith knew in his heart that if he hadn't attacked the Second Secret Realm, this tragedy wouldn't have happened.

Ethan Smith didn't say much to comfort her, but he made up his mind to find a way to make it up to Lulu in the future.

That day, Ethan Smith had dinner with Sofia Carrillo, Lulu, and the Fifth Elder.

The next morning, Ethan Smith bid farewell to the Pavilion Master and left the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, ready to begin his closed-door cultivation.

“I don't know how long this closed-door cultivation will take. At the earliest, it will be five days; at the latest, it could be several days.” thought Ethan Smith.

“I must find an absolutely safe place.”

The Mystic Realm within Heaven Gate obviously couldn't guarantee Ethan Smith's safety any longer.

After much thought, Ethan Smith finally set his sights on the bottom of the sea.
