If things continued like this, Anna felt that the one-star refining room might really be taken away by O'Casey.

Even though she had the support of Emily and Cherry, as long as O'Casey didn't make any obvious mistakes on the surface, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to directly kick out O'Casey, an old hand in the Soul Liquid House. Otherwise, it would cause some unrest in the Soul Liquid House. And if that affected the refining of Soul Liquids, it would be the Martin family that suffered the losses.

Feeling rather annoyed, Anna just glanced at Albert when he walked into the refining room and didn't have the extra energy to say anything.

However, Albert was quite casual about it. He walked straight to an unused refining compartment. Beside him, a pretty young woman said in a low voice, "Young master of the manor, you're here."

Albert smiled and nodded in response. While arranging the materials on the refining table, he casually asked in a low voice, "Sister Sharon, Deputy Store Manager Anna doesn't seem to be in a good mood?"

The young woman whom he called Sister Sharon stuck out her tongue and said, "We've been scolded all morning..."

Then she briefly explained the reason for the matter.

After hearing this, Albert suddenly understood. So it was all about the one-star refining room. This was indeed a big deal. If O'Casey succeeded in his fight for it, it would deal a huge blow to Anna's reputation and gradually reduce her say in the Soul Liquid House in the future.

Thinking of this, Albert frowned. Of course, he didn't want to see such a situation happen. And at present, he was in great need of a large amount of funds. If something went wrong here, it would undoubtedly have a huge impact on him.

Most importantly, O'Casey was Bernard's man. With that ungrateful character of his, he might even swallow up this branch of the Soul Liquid House.

However, it was useless to think about these things now. So Albert took out many preparation materials and started his practice for today.

Two hours of practice time passed quietly. Just as Albert's refining was becoming more and more skillful, the door of the one-star refining room was suddenly pushed open. Everyone's actions in their hands paused for a moment, and then they saw a group of people led by O'Casey pouring in.

Just that imposing manner made it seem that they hadn't come with good intentions.

When O'Casey and his group suddenly barged into the one-star refining room in an aggressive manner, it immediately caused a stir in the atmosphere here.

Anna also noticed their arrival and frowned, saying, "Deputy Store Manager O'Casey, are your people so ill-mannered?"

O'Casey had a smile on his face and said, "Deputy Store Manager Anna, don't be angry. I'm here to say something. Since the one-star refining room has been under your management, the output of Soul Liquid refining has decreased during this period, and there have even been quite a number of unqualified products. This has seriously affected the performance of our Soul Liquid House."

Anna said coldly, "Don't you know why the output has decreased? If you hadn't imposed restrictions on the materials, how could such a thing have happened?"

O'Casey frowned and said, "Deputy Store Manager Anna, you're slandering me. Materials are already in short supply. Can I conjure them up out of thin air?"

"I actually think that although Deputy Store Manager Anna graduated from the Newhurst Advanced Academy, she is still rather inexperienced after all. Perhaps some of your ideas don't match those of our one-star Spirit Light Masters in the Soul Liquid House. If you guide them, I'm afraid you'll hold them back."

O'Casey stared at Anna and said, "Deputy Store Manager Anna, as Spirit Light Masters, we should judge everything by the results. You've been in charge of the one-star refining room for some time now, but so far, there hasn't been much effect. The highest purity of the one-star Soul Liquids refined by the one-star Spirit Light Masters you've taught is just barely reaching 50%. But my apprentice can already refine one-star Soul Liquids with a purity of 56%."

"You should know that in the past, the average level of the one-star Soul Liquids produced by our Soul Liquid House was only 53%. So if Deputy Store Manager Anna really has the Soul Liquid House's best interests at heart, I suggest that you hand over the one-star refining room. Otherwise, if this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid that the one-star Soul Liquids produced by our Soul Liquid House will lose their market in the city of Navia."

After speaking, O'Casey looked at some other senior members of the Soul Liquid House who had come with him and said, "Everyone, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Those senior members looked thoughtful. Although they didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two sides, they had to admit that what O'Casey said was quite reasonable. In their Soul Liquid House, everything was judged by the results.

The fact that O'Casey's disciple could steadily refine one-star Soul Liquids with a purity of 56% was enough to prove his excellence.

So a senior member hesitated and said, "Deputy Store Manager Anna, why don't you just hand over this one-star refining room? Then you can concentrate on guiding the two-star refining room. After all, that's also an important product of our Soul Liquid House."

O'Casey looked at Anna, whose eyes showed a bit of struggle, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of his mouth.

And just when the pressure on Anna was getting heavier and heavier, in this one-star refining room where the atmosphere was almost frozen, suddenly a blue light burst out abruptly.

    Albert instinctively stretched out his palm and seized the streak of saber light firmly in his grasp.At that moment, the golden staff shadow pierced through the void toward him.Torrents of surging power erupted from Albert’s body, wrapping around the saber in his hand as it crashed headlong into the staff’s shadow.A sharp, ringing clang of metal exploded outward, whipping up towering waves across the vast lake far below.To Albert’s immense delight, the blade in his hand did not shatter this time.For the first time, the Ancestor’s dragon-coiled golden staff, famed for smashing treasure artifacts, failed to work its destructive magic.Albert leaped backward and stared in awe at the blade in his grip. Could this be… his reforged Golden Jade Saber?The saber retained its traditional straight-bladed shape, yet its body was far more elongated than before. Golden light swirled around the hilt, inlaid with patterns resembling dragon scales.Sharp golden speckles dotted the blade’s surfac

    Dennis beside him asked in confusion, Father, why does the Ancestor look nothing like his portraits?The others quickly nodded in agreement. The Ancestor was the undisputed legend of the entire Supreme Martin Clan, so everyone was endlessly curious about him.Thomas replied, This is not the Ancestor’s true physical form.Cyrus pressed, A clone, then?Thomas spoke slowly, Not exactly a clone… This is merely a wisp of consciousness the Ancestor left behind when he forged the Demon Abyss all those years ago.A wisp of consciousness? Shock washed over the group. Could a mere fragment of thought persist for so many centuries?This is no ordinary strand of consciousness. The Ancestor shaped it by drawing a fragment of his own past self. You may view the figure before us as the Ancestor in his Divine Realm era.He is utterly authentic and virtually indestructible—no being under heaven can erase the consciousness of a Supreme.A simple wisp of thought deemed unkillable? The crowd sat stunned

    Dennis let out a sigh and smiled wistfully. This scene takes me back to when Third Brother led the First Courtyard Legion to clear the Demon Abyss all those years ago.Cyrus smiled as well. This boy Albert has quite the lofty spirit, insisting on tackling the seventy-second floor right now. It’s plain to see he’s aiming straight to outdo his father.The other manor lords could not help but chuckle. Albert’s motive was far too obvious, and the sight of a son striving to surpass his own father carried a hint of amusement.A faint smile flickered in Thomas’s eyes. I wonder what expression Andrew will wear if he returns to find every one of his old records broken by his son.The group laughed in agreement. It was rare to hear Thomas crack such a dry jest, so they were quick to play along.Walden, Manor Lord of the Fourth Courtyard, spoke up. When Lord Andrew challenged the seventy-second floor, he faced a Four-Star Divine Realm Dragon—that stood as the pinnacle hardship any legion had eve

    After speaking, his gaze suddenly lingered on Dale, for he noticed the soul force rippling off the latter’s body felt far purer and fiercer than before.Elder Brother, you’ve…Isabel cut in beside him, a hint of envy in her tone. His soul has evolved; he’s now Pseudo Nine-Star.Dale scratched his head with a sheepish grin. I have Third Brother’s gift of the Void Heavenly Dew to thank. Without it, my soul evolution would’ve taken ages more to build up enough momentum.Truth be told, it was almost wasted on me. I’ve never been one to pick fights with others—it would’ve suited Isabel far better. He stole a quick glance at Isabel as he said this.Isabel let out a soft huff. As if I’d care for it.Albert smiled. No worries. I’ll hunt down far finer treasures for Elder Sister later on.Isabel’s face lit up instantly. Only little brother knows how to look out for me.She bore no real resentment. She well understood that Void Heavenly Dew yielded its greatest potency during soul evolution. Th

    The black dragon roared, snapping open its fanged maw wide. A surging stream of black dragon breath, steeped in corrosive might, blasted straight toward the fiend chieftain.The fiend chieftain let out a shrill shriek. Two ten-thousand-meter dark beams shot forth from its giant eyes, blazing with searing heat that warped the void itself.The two terrifying forces collided, shattering the space between them endlessly.In the end, the fiend chieftain still gained the upper hand; the black dragon breath dissolved steadily wherever the dark beams swept.Faint sighs seemed to echo through the void, coming from high-ranking elders of the Supreme Martin Clan who were watching Albert’s battle closely.From what they could see, this Upper Three-Star Divine Realm fiend chieftain was an immensely formidable roadblock.If Albert failed to break past its blockade, reaching the seventy-second and final floor would be all but impossible.Just as they lamented this turn, a faint sword hum suddenly ra

    Within the billowing dust, a colossal shape loomed indistinctly. As the haze slowly settled, a towering figure hundreds of meters tall stood firm between heaven and earth.It was the chieftain of the Demon Fiends, bearing eight massive arms. Countless ancient, arcane runes were etched across its enormous frame, shimmering with eerie, shifting luminescence.This fiend chieftain possessed terrifying brute strength. With every exhale and inhale, it spewed raging energy tempests that rampaged and laid waste across the mountain valleys, acting as if it were a behemoth of annihilation.Far off, the eight thousand soldiers of the First Courtyard Legion watched the fiend chieftain with stern, resolute expressions. After weeks of grueling trials, every troop member’s power had surged dramatically. Their essence, energy, and spirit had been forged to peak perfection, bolstered by unshakable faith forged from streak after streak of victories.Under Albert’s leadership, they had fought their way
