Dragon Covenant

Chapter 28

"I've heard that the young master has awakened a five-star water-element soul?" O'Casey asked as if he was a bit curious.

Albert had been practicing in the Soul Liquid House for so many days, and the news about his five-star water-element soul had already spread.

Albert looked at the deputy store manager of the Soul Liquid House who had defected to Bernard and nodded slightly, saying, "I'm learning to be a Spirit Light Master from Sister Anna."

O'Casey smiled and said, "Deputy Store Manager Anna is an outstanding student from the Newhurst Advanced Academy and is quite capable. However, she's a bit lacking in experience. If the young master really wants to learn, although I'm not very talented, I can also offer some suggestions."

Albert smiled. He wasn't sure whether O'Casey was being so kind because he wanted to put him under surveillance, figure out his exact situation and then report to Bernard, or if he really wanted to give him some guidance.

But between Anna and O'Casey, Albert would naturally choose Anna.

So he shook his head and said, "I think Sister Anna is quite good. If there's a need in the future, I'll come to Deputy Store Manager O'Casey again."

"That's really a pity." O'Casey sighed as if he felt it was a great pity.

Albert didn't say anything more. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Deputy Store Manager O'Casey, I heard from Sister Anna before that sometimes the materials in some of her refining rooms are always in short supply. I heard that you're in charge of material procurement, so could you replenish them in a timely manner?"

Hearing this, O'Casey frowned and said with some difficulty, "Young master, this isn't my problem. It's just that sometimes the procurement of materials can be really troublesome, so it's quite normal to have occasional shortages. Of course, since the young master has mentioned it, I'll pay more attention to this aspect in the future."

Facing the other party's insincere politeness, Albert didn't say anything. He just gave the other party a deep look and walked past him directly.

O'Casey watched his departing figure, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Deputy Store Manager, I didn't expect that the young master of the Shao family would suddenly awaken a five-star water-element soul. It's really unexpected..." Beside O'Casey, a subordinate loyal to him whispered.

"Most likely, the two heads of the family left him some rare treasures from heaven and earth. Using such precious things on him is really a waste." O'Casey said faintly.

"However, it's only five-star after all, not overly outstanding. So it won't be that easy for this young master to rise to prominence."

He waved his hand and said, "Pass this news on to Master Bernard."

"That woman Anna is really becoming more and more of an eyesore."

"Yes!"

...

When Albert walked into the one-star refining room, he saw dozens of compartments separated by crystal walls as barriers. Behind each compartment, there was a figure busy at work.

Among them, Albert also saw Anna, who was tall and slender. She was wearing a long coat with her hands in her pockets, looking around coldly on her inspection tour.

At this moment, she stopped in front of a crystal wall and watched indifferently as a one-star Spirit Light Master completed the refining of a bottle of Soul Liquid in his hand.

Under Anna's gaze, the young one-star Spirit Light Master was also a bit nervous. Then he took a slender crystal needle from the side. There were precise markings on the crystal needle.

This was a testing needle. As the name suggested, it was used to test the purity of the finished Soul Liquid.

The crystal needle was inserted into the bottle of Soul Liquid, and the markings on it gradually climbed from low to high.

Finally, it stopped at the position of 46.

Seeing this scene, Anna immediately said coldly, "If this kind of purity of the Spirit Liquid is sold, it will only ruin the reputation of the Soul Liquid House."

The one-star Spirit Light Master lowered his head dejectedly.

However, Anna didn't soften her heart. Instead, she said sternly, "During the previous refining process, you made no less than four mistakes in total. The modulation of the White Leaf Fruit didn't have enough heat, the Moonlight Juice was too thick, the Smokeless Water was too thin, and when it came to the final blending, your Water Phase Power didn't reach the saturation requirement either."

"Refine it again."

After saying that, she turned around and left. At the same time, her icy gaze swept over many of the one-star Spirit Light Masters in the room. Everyone was too scared to say a word and buried themselves in refining with concentration.

Anna adjusted her silver-framed glasses. Her pretty face was cold. Obviously, she was very dissatisfied with the achievements of these one-star Spirit Light Masters.

A hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes. Although she had come to help out at the request of Emily, she had parachuted in after all. When it came to reputation in this branch store, O'Casey was indeed a bit stronger than her.

In this branch of the Soul Liquid House, there were a total of three refining rooms, from one-star to three-star. And the refining rooms of different levels were responsible for refining Soul Liquids of different grades.

With Emily's appointment, Anna had taken control of the one-star and two-star refining rooms as soon as she arrived. However, the three-star refining room was still firmly in O'Casey's hands.

And the two sides had been engaged in open and covert struggles for a long time because of the control of these refining rooms. After all, as long as one mastered the refining rooms, it was equivalent to mastering most of the Spirit Light Masters. For the Soul Liquid House, whose sole purpose was to refine Soul Liquids, the Spirit Light Masters were undoubtedly the most important assets.

Recently, however, O'Casey obviously couldn't sit still anymore. He began to make moves on the one-star refining room. And his reason was that a disciple he had trained had refined a one-star Soul Liquid with a quality reaching 56.

This quality was considered to be at the top level among the one-star Soul Liquids produced by the Soul Liquid House. So O'Casey took this as a reason and spread rumors everywhere that Anna was not good at guiding one-star Spirit Light Masters. This had led to some signs of wavering among these one-star Spirit Light Masters in the Soul Liquid House recently.
