Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1552

Chapter 1552: Chapter 1552: Comprehending the Beast Spirit Pill_1 Chapter 1552: Chapter 1552: Comprehending the Beast Spirit Pill_1 Just as expected!

This old man wasn't a native of the Southern Province!

With his strength far surpassing the three lunatics and three extremes, how could he come from the Southern Province!?

Ethan Smith looked at the elderly man, clasped his hands, and asked: “Senior, are you from the Central Province?”

The elderly man raised his eyebrows and said, “You know quite a bit.”

Hearing this, Ethan Smith couldn't help but think to himself secretly: “Indeed, the top-notch people all come from the Central Province…”

Thinking of this, Ethan Smith couldn't help but remember Frederick Cohen and the others.

He wondered if they had already set off for the Central Province and what kind of level they had reached.

“Do you really want to consult this Beast Spirit Pill Formula?” The elderly man suddenly asked.

Ethan Smith's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly nodded: “Senior, if you are willing, I would indeed like to take a look.”

“Then, follow me.” The elderly man said faintly.

Ethan Smith was overjoyed, as he hadn't expected the elderly man to be so generous.

“Thank you, senior!” Ethan Smith clasped his hands and said, barely containing his excitement.

Afterward, Ethan Smith followed behind the elderly man and went forward.

The elderly man's steps were extremely fast, like Shrinking Ground Into An Inch. Despite Ethan Smith trying his best to catch up from behind, he still lagged by a great distance.

Left with no choice, Ethan Smith had to use the Moving formula of Nine Secrets to quickly catch up.

Seeing Ethan catching up, the elderly man's eyes showed some surprise.

“The Moving formula of Nine Secrets?” The old man said with some astonishment.

Ethan Smith didn't hide it and nodded: “Replying to senior's words, indeed, what I used was the Moving formula of Nine Secrets, which I acquired by chance.”

“It seems you have quite a few secrets hidden on you.” The old man said indifferently.

Ethan Smith could only smile bitterly, even if the old man wanted him to teach the Moving formula of Nine Secrets forcibly, Ethan had no way to refuse.

Fortunately, the elderly man didn't say much. He asked Ethan Smith to follow him as they dashed towards a certain location.

Soon, the two arrived at a small rural courtyard.

The courtyard's decoration was extremely simple, just like that of an old farmer's residence.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, the old man didn't waste any time. He took out the Beast Spirit Pill Formula and handed it to Ethan Smith.

“I'll give you three days at most. After three days, whether you can consult or not, you must return it to me.” The elderly man said.

Ethan Smith took the Beast Spirit Pill Formula, gritted his teeth to suppress his excitement, and nodded: “Thank you, senior.”

The elderly man nodded slightly and then turned to go to his room.

Ethan Smith held the Beast Spirit Pill Formula and sat cross-legged in the courtyard.

He didn't waste any time and immediately began to read the Beast Spirit Pill Formula.

With Ethan Smith's ability, consulting a formula was not difficult.

However, when Ethan opened the Beast Spirit Pill Formula, he realized it wasn't that simple.

The Beast Spirit Pill Formula was extremely complex. Because it involved the physique of Demonic Beasts, it was very difficult for cultivators to comprehend.

Ethan Smith stared at the Beast Spirit Pill Formula, frowning deeply.

He tried to consult the formula but found his mind completely blank, unable to study it.

“How could this be…” Ethan Smith furrowed his brows.

This Beast Spirit Pill was not some top-notch elixir but only a Profound Grade elixir. However, its effect was beyond imagination.

Compared to earth's Beast Spirit Pill, this one was obviously purer and its effect was completely different.

In the dark corner, the elderly man secretly observed Ethan Smith.

As he saw Ethan Smith's furrowed brows, a smile appeared on the elderly man's face.

“It seems this young man cannot comprehend this formula.” The elderly man secretly thought.

Afterward, he closed his eyes slightly and no longer paid attention to Ethan Smith.

An entire day and night passed.

Ethan Smith's eyes never left the formula.

He tried to use a strand of divine sense to deduce the formula, but the results were still unsuccessful.

“Strange…” Ethan Smith murmured softly.

Every step he took followed the requirements of the formula, but the end result was always failure.

It was like there was a layer of paper separating him from understanding the formula, unable to see through it no matter what.

“How about taking a break?”

The elderly man's voice came from behind.

Ethan Smith smiled bitterly and shook his head: “No, with only three days left, I'd better work hard.”

The old man said indifferently: “Consulting a formula is not achieved through seclusion; some things can be comprehended if they can be comprehended. If you cannot comprehend them, no matter how much effort you put in, it will be useless.”

However, Ethan Smith didn't think so in his heart; he believed in diligence making up for clumsiness.

Moreover, Ethan Smith was not just any dull person.

He closed his eyes and continued to ponder the formula.

The old man, on the other hand, just quietly watched from the side.

Ethan Smith's eyebrows would sometimes furrow and sometimes stretch out, sometimes his forehead would be covered with sweat, and other times he would shiver.

No one knew the extent to which Ethan Smith had comprehended the formula at this moment.

In a blink of an eye, another day passed.

But Ethan Smith remained sitting, showing no intention of leaving.

The elderly man slowly shook his head. Tomorrow was the day to return the formula, and in his opinion, Ethan Smith had had no chance already.

“Three days…it's hard on him anyway.” The elderly man secretly thought in his heart.

Although he said that understanding the formula was not about time, in reality, he just wanted to see Ethan Smith's performance.

He didn't know how many alchemists spent decades or even hundreds of years consulting a single formula.

Now Ethan Smith was asked to comprehend the Beast Spirit Pill in just three days, which was naturally not easy.

The elderly man looked at Ethan Smith, silently.

He knew full well how difficult it was to comprehend the Beast Spirit Pill Formula in three days, but to be valued by someone like him was, of course, not that simple.

As time slipped by minute by minute, the elderly man seemed to have lost hope as well.

He shook his head, returned to his room, and quietly waited for the time to come.

On the following day, the elderly man lost all hope.

He came out of his room only to find a cauldron in front of Ethan Smith.

Ethan Smith was rummaging through the cauldron.

Seeing the elderly man coming out, Ethan quickly took out a Beast Spirit Pill from the cauldron.

“Senior, this is the Beast Spirit Pill I refined!” Ethan Smith said excitedly.

Surprise flickered in the old man's eyes.

Had this young man actually comprehended the Beast Spirit Pill Formula? Did he even refine a Beast Spirit Pill?

Did he really achieve all that in just three days?

The elderly man took the Beast Spirit Pill from Ethan Smith's hand and examined it carefully.

He sniffed it and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

“Not bad, the quality of this Beast Spirit Pill is superior to average.” The old man said with emotion.

He hadn't expected such an unexpected gain on his trip to the Southern Province.

Ethan Smith handed back the Beast Spirit Pill Formula with both hands to the old man and said: “Many thanks to senior for helping me, Ethan Smith is deeply grateful.”

The elderly man raised his eyebrows and asked, “You are Ethan Smith?”
