Chapter 746: Chapter 746: For One’s Own Benefit

Apart from the two elders who sided with Zariah Nelson, the other elders all voiced their opinions, believing that Nelson’s actions were wrong. They thought that a promising Alchemist like Peter Brown should be treated well, not discouraged. They believed Peter should be promoted to a Professor position, or else their county might lose him to another one, resulting in a huge loss.

Seeing how things had developed, Ian Shore spoke loudly: "Let’s vote now. Raise your hands if you agree to promote Peter Brown to a Professor position." As he spoke, he was the first to raise his hand.

At this point, the elders all raised their hands one after another.

Ian Shore glanced at Zariah Nelson and his two allies and said: "In that case, the decision to promote Peter Brown from a student to a professor in the Alchemy Hall has been made. From now on, Peter Brown is a Professor of our county’s Academy."

Zariah Nelson was so furious at this point, being scolded by so many elders. His anger towards Peter Brown was also burning. However, with things having developed this far, he had no power to resist, as everyone supported promoting Peter.

When the trio of Zariah Nelson walked out, one of the elders sighed and said: "Nelson, this matter... sigh!"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head and left, feeling that it was somewhat improper to support Zariah Nelson in this matter.

Another elder looked at Zariah Nelson and said: "Nelson, I think you should seek your elder brother. After all, he is an elder in the Shire. If you don’t have his support, you might be in trouble!"

As the two left, Zariah Nelson’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. He never expected a mere student to cause such upheaval. If this matter was not handled properly, it could indeed bring him trouble.

When he returned from the Fallen Sun Mountain last time, Ian Shore said he would deal with him but did not take action. Zariah knew that Ian was concerned about his elder brother. However, this time it was clear that Ian was determined to deal with him.

The Hospital Director, Vincent Bell, entered the room with Ian Shore where tea had already been prepared by a maid.

Sipping tea, Vincent Bell smiled and said: "Sir, we have won a great victory this time, putting heavy pressure on them."

Ian Shore laughed and said: "Everything changes under the influence of interests. Everyone was neutral or supportive of them before because there weren’t enough interests to sway them."

Vincent Bell also laughed: "Peter Brown is really good at stirring things up. I didn’t expect him to be an accomplished Alchemist. Sir, your ability to see Peter’s potential and invest in him early on speaks to your foresight."

Ian Shore laughed heartily: "The situation on the border is becoming more and more tense. Our alchemists are said to have been called to refine elixirs full-time, and I’m sure everyone understands the purpose. If a war breaks out, the consumption of elixirs will be enormous. Besides, who doesn’t want to have a few life-saving elixirs at hand? Peter has the skills of an Alchemist. Once his cultivation reaches the Golden Core, he will be able to refine Nascent Soul elixirs. It’s easy to see how valuable he is, but Zariah Nelson hasn’t understood it yet!"

Vincent Bell laughed: "Today’s meeting showed some signs. The elders must be thinking the same way, and I believe they will try to win Peter’s favor once he becomes a Professor."

"Haha, I reckon some elders are already trying to win his favor."

Vincent Bell said: "No matter how they try to please him, Peter should know in his heart that it has always been you supporting him behind the scenes."

Ian Shore nodded slightly: "The matter of Peter being an Alchemist cannot be concealed from the Shire. What I’m worried about is him being transferred to the Shire again. What do you think about this issue?"

Vincent Bell thought for a moment and said: "We should ask Peter for his opinion. We can use the excuse of his closed-door cultivation to deal with the higher-ups."

Ian Shore thought for a moment and said: "That’s the only way. Let’s say Peter is closed-door cultivating to study alchemy. I believe it will be hard for the Shire to say anything to call him over."

"By the way, you should arrange for Peter’s new treatment and accommodations. Now that he is a professor, it would be inappropriate for him to stay at the Skyreach Mountain. I’m worried about his safety there, so it’s better to arrange a courtyard residence for him within the Academy."

Vincent Bell said: "It would still be better to consult Peter’s opinion."

Ian Shore nodded and said earnestly: "You should send someone to secretly protect Peter. Report any dangers to me immediately."

"Are you concerned about the Nelson Family?"

"Yes, Zariah Nelson is someone who does things without considering the consequences. I could clearly feel his murderous intent this time."

After talking for a while, Vincent Bell hurriedly left.

Ian Shore tapped his desk lightly, muttering: "Interests can move people’s hearts. Everyone wants to go to the next level, and their disciples also need a lot of elixirs. No wonder everyone supported promoting Peter Brown to the Alchemy Hall this time. They all want to take advantage of Peter!"

As for Peter, he played a big game today, showing the pitiful appearance of being bullied and having no choice but to set up a stall, which caused public discontent with the county.

When he returned to Skyreach Mountain, Peter ignored everything else and told the Chore Disciples that he was going to close his door for closed-door cultivation. Then, he activated the formation, showing a determined closed-door situation.

In fact, Peter didn’t know what kind of danger would come after offending the Nelson Family. So, now that the materials were ready, what he needed to do was turn them into useful items for himself.

First, refine a hidden formation!

Peter had already decided to call it the Five Elements Transformation Formation.

Once activated, even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator might not be able to detect Peter’s presence.

Not a newbie in refining artifacts, Peter began to refine them unhurriedly.

With the right furnace, anything could be refined.

Afterward, Peter kept refining here without stopping.

As Peter continued refining, a special team arrived in the county. They all shared the same goal: to settle Peter’s affairs properly.
