When Caden heard Charlie’s irrefutable words, he was so depressed that his entire body shook. His lips were trembling, and his teeth were also gnashing together involuntarily in his mouth.
Caden naturally did not want to leave, but he also did not know how to express his intention to Charlie.
After all, he was afraid that if he was insatiable, Charlie might end up changing his mind. Wouldn’t it be a big loss if Charlie were to decide to kill him, then?
At this moment, Charlie suddenly changed the subject and asked, “Master Howton, how long have you remained in the realm of an eight-star martial artist?”
Caden said respectfully, “Master Wade, I’ve been in the lower realm of an eight-star martial artist for sixteen years…”
Charlie asked curiously, “How old are you this year, then?”
Caden said, “I’m sixty-two years old this year!”
Charlie said, “You’re already an eight-star martial artist in your forties? It seems that you have pretty good cultivation speed!”
Caden forced a laugh and said, “To tell you the truth, although the Taoist Sect has superficial alchemy skills, the good thing is that our master passed down a relatively complete set of martial arts techniques. Therefore, I naturally have greater potential compared to most sects that do not even have a complete martial arts technique.”
“Moreover, there are some good points in our shallow alchemy technique. There was an alchemy expert among our masters. I don’t know what kind of method he used to concoct a batch of pills, but this pill could help ordinary people strengthen their bodies and cure all illnesses, and martial artists can improve their cultivation after taking this pill. Although there are limited improvements, it’s still better than nothing.”
“There were five pills that were handed down to me, but I declared to the public that there were only three pills. In truth, I took three pills myself and sold one of the pills to a wealthy man many years ago to save his life. The pill did play a part in curing his illness and also extended his life to a certain extent, thus gaining some fame for this pill. I gave the last pill to your grandfather when he was seriously ill, but it might not have had any effect because your grandfather was too seriously ill.”
