Chapter 517: Chapter 516: Big Trouble

Peter could clearly feel the atmosphere in the city become tense all of a sudden.

’Master, something big has happened.’

Sarah, who went out to gather information, returned quickly and said this upon seeing Peter.

’Sit, Sarah, don’t rush. What happened?’ Peter let Sarah sit down and asked.

’Master, you don’t know. Something terrible happened to the elixir refining field today!’

Peter said: ’Isn’t that place usually bustling? It’s normal for something to happen there.’

’Master, you don’t know. The most critical thing about that place is the Earthfire. With Earthfire, one can perform Alchemy and refine artifacts. Every day, so many people go there, it has become an important place in the city.’

Peter nodded slightly.

Sarah continued, ’Master, today, for some reason, the temperature in the Earthfire region suddenly dropped, causing a collapse.’

’A collapse?’ This was something Peter didn’t expect. Upon thinking it over, he realized that without the power of Earthfire, the collapse must have been inevitable.

’Yes, the entire Earthfire disappeared suddenly, as it vanished, the whole area completely collapsed, and the entire mountain sank.’`

Seeing the lingering shock on Sarah’s face, Peter could imagine that the whole city must be in turmoil now.

’Does everyone in the city know?’

’Indeed, the news has spread throughout the city. I heard that even the big shots in the city have gathered there. Master, you don’t know, once the Earthfire collapses, the entire elixir refining field would be ruined, and all projects there will be affected.’

As she spoke, another servant who had gone to gather information entered in a hurry and said, ’Master, I just heard the news. It’s not just the collapse of that place, but the Earthfire has been stolen, and it’s probably by a big shot.’

A big shot stealing it?

Peter thought of the King of the Royals he had killed.

’Master, the City Lord is said to be furious and couldn’t believe that someone would do such a thing.’

’Many people died, right?’ Peter showed concern for the casualties inside after the collapse.

’Yes, it is said that many Alchemists and Artifact Refiners were inside. When the mountain collapsed, people were buried under it, many are missing, and the situation is still chaotic.’

Peter nodded slightly and said, ’Alright, you guys go out and gather more information and report back to me.’

After sending Sarah and the others away, Peter sat there and pondered.

According to the information he had, the loss of Earthfire this time might not be traced back to him, and the Royal Prince must have become the scapegoat.

Thinking about it, Peter couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that he should wait and see what else happens next.

Peter originally thought that the identity he was impersonating would become a suspect, but then again, ordinary people couldn’t enter the third level, and only the Royal Prince could get inside. Thus, his suspicious identity could be avoided.

Glancing at the Spiritual Fire, Peter saw that it was still spitting out flames, but it no longer posed much of a threat to him.

It turned out that the collected Spiritual Fire would not pose a threat to its owner!

Now Peter truly relaxed.

Upon thinking, Peter realized that his current Pill Furnace was not suitable to use, as his True Qi was weaker than the Spiritual Fire. What he needed to do now was to purchase a Refining Furnace.

With that thought, Peter got up and walked towards the elixir refining field.

As Peter walked towards the place, he saw many people hurrying there, probably all wanting to see what had happened.

’Peter, are you going to the elixir refining field too?’

Just as Peter had walked a short distance, he heard someone calling him. When he looked over, he saw the innkeeper Daniel Swift.

’I’ve seen Innkeeper Daniel.’

A middle-aged man with a Qi Refining 12th Layer cultivation base was standing beside Daniel Swift, smiling at Peter.

Daniel Swift quickly introduced him, ’Peter, this is my good friend, Bosco Thompson.’

Peter promptly paid his respects.

Bosco Thompson smiled and said, ’I heard Daniel talking about you. He said that you’re a person with great potential.’

Peter just smiled and said, ’You’re over-praising me. Are you two going to see what’s happening at the elixir refining field?’

Daniel Swift nodded and said, ’This incident is quite significant. We’re going to see if there are any opportunities.’

Peter looked at Daniel Swift with confusion.

Bosco Thompson said, ’Peter, you must know that the Sea Clan dominates here, and the City Lord has always received the support of the Royals. This time, a Royal Prince level expert happened to be at the collapsed Earthfire site.’

Upon thinking, Peter immediately understood their intentions and asked doubtfully, ’You want to blow up this matter, find an opportunity?’

’Peter is really smart. To be honest, this matter is an opportunity for everyone. Many people from the Human Clan have already gone there. If handled well, the City Lord may lose the support of the Royals. As long as the support is gone, the Human Clan will have more hope here.’

Peter shook his head and said, ’To control a place, one needs power. Without the power above Foundation Establishment, what’s the use of having hope?’

Bosco Thompson smiled and said, ’Wait and see, the Human Clan still has some power here.’

Peter glanced at the two, knowing that there must be an organization behind them, but he didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask further.

The three of them walked together, soon arriving at the elixir refining field.

Upon arriving there, they found that many Cultivators had already gathered, all kinds of people.

’Peter, we have some matters to attend to, so we won’t be accompanying you any further.’ Daniel Swift apologized to Peter as soon as they arrived.

Peter knew that they certainly had something to do, and hurriedly said, ’You two can go ahead, don’t mind me.’

After exchanging a salute, Daniel Swift and Bosco Thompson left.

Watching their hurried departure, Peter shook his head. He didn’t want to get involved in the affairs here too much. What the Human Clan could do didn’t have much to do with him.

Looking around, Peter noticed that everyone’s expressions were complicated. Looking at the place that was once a large mountain, it had already collapsed and sunk into the ground.

Earthfire is quite powerful!

Hearing the private discussions of the people around, Peter walked towards the place where alchemy items were sold. His purpose for coming today was to purchase items for alchemy.

The place selling the items was a street, which had been crowded but now turned quiet.
