Few days passed,
The days were good, peaceful, and calm for Gin as he trained and practiced without any disturbances.
In his free time, he brewed different potions like Physique strengthening potion, Source Blood potion, Healing potions for his personal use.
Alas, the peace didn't last long.
Unknownst to him, a huge storm was sweeping the entire white star region. It was all caused by the 'Miracle potion' auctioned by some anonymous person.
Miracle potion is none other than 'Physique Strengning potion' Gin made. Dean Alfin auctioned them at a famous auction house in the white star region.
But, he didn't expect even after diluting the potion, the effects would be still great.
Currently, some major figures of the white star region were frantically searching for him as if he committed some heinous crime.
Even when he was in the prime of life, he didn't encounter such a situation. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry while still hiding in his hotel room.
It all happened 2 days back when Alfin came to the White star region to sell the potions. At the start, everything was progressing smoothly.
But, he has done a big mistake. Instead of simply auctioning every potion at once, he decided to auction only three.
So that once the people get to know the amazing effect, he would be able to sell it for a higher price. It was Alfin's plan all along but it was also the cause for the uproar.
A youngster from a big family brought the three potions for 500 Elemental stones. He brought the potion, hoping it would help him in a breakthrough to the Seal opening stage.
Who knows, as soon as he drank it he would uncover the 10th hidden seal and bring a calamity to himself.
Overhearing the effects of the potion, some strong peoples barged into that youngster's family and overbearingly seized the other two potions.
Soon, the amazing effects of the Miracle potion were heard by many peoples and it took the whole region by storm.
Alfin didn't even get the chance to collect the money for the three potions he sold. He dare not when several peoples are watching the auction house like a hawk.
Everyone wanted to know who's that god-like potion master that auctioned the potions?
Alfin wasn't afraid of these weak kittens but that can't be said to peoples of core regions. The peoples from eight domains and scared provinces are overbearing and egotistic.
No one knows what they will do, once they came to know about the miracle potion. Thankfully, Alfin wasn't foolish enough to appear in such places without disguise. So, no one knows about his appearance.
Knowing he can't get the money under the watchful eyes of many people, Alfin swiftly left the white star region and traveled to another region.
This time Alfin didn't make such mistakes, he straightway sold all the 12 potions he had with him for 1200 Elemental stones.
As soon as the peoples in the 'Black Haven region' discovered the effects, it caused another uproar. A fight ensued!
Some informed peoples connected the dots and exclaimed. "It's the same miracle potion that caused a recent turmoil in the white star region."
Everything quit down when some representatives of the Eight domains appeared. Dean Alfin who was happily watching the uproar knows it's time for him to leave.
'It feels a little overwhelming, knowing the peoples from eight domains came looking for the potion made by my student. Ah! Suddenly, I feel a lot younger.' Alfin mused and left the Black Haven region.
The peoples from eight domains investigated the whole thing and were infuriated, just to find that all the potions were used up.
----
Heaven fall academy,
Dean Alfin returned to the academy, but the next day he encountered a more troublesome situation.
"Hahaha...Alfin, come out and meet me!"
He has a visitor, an old adversary who he doesn't ever want to meet. Moreover, he's not alone as Alfin noticed a bunch of youngsters behind him.
With a single glance, Afin knows the visitor came here to make trouble. Meanwhile, his students also came out hearing the commotion: Gin, Meylin, Drez, Nixa, Nyd, Klin and Zev.
"Haha, Alfin, are you excited to see me?" That person's wild laughter resounded.
His appearance looked a little similar to Alfin but much younger. He looked no more than thirty, with a clean-shaven face, spotless skin, and sly black eyes.
He's little chubby and clothed in silver martial robe with golden patterns. Just a single glance, brought an unseen pressure upon Gin and others.
"Get out, Zhyho. You are not welcome here." Dean Alfin appeared before him and coldly uttered.
"I know, that's why I came! Hahaha, because brothers don't need an invite to come, am I right?"
"Shut up, you are unfit to call me brother."
"Your temper didn't change ever after such long years. Are you having food timely? you look aged and weak." The chubby man, Zhyho sniggered.
"Why did you come here? State your purpose" Dean Alfin asked.
He knows the person before him very well, as he's not the type of person who comes to such a run-down region without a goal.
"Oh, you didn't hear? A new ruin was discovered in your Silver Mist region. I am one of the representatives assigned by the Silver Dragon domain to safeguard the youngsters." Zhyho chuckled.
Dean Alfin was shocked. Of course, he knows about it but such a small ruin won't attract peoples from core regions.
If even the peoples from core regions are appearing, then it's not an ordinary ruin.
"That didn't explain why you came to my academy?" Dean Alfin coldly asked with a sharp gaze.
"Hehe, it's been a few years since I last saw you. Of course, apart from taking a good look at you, our family juniors also want to test their meager skills."
"As soon as they heard someone from their family was running an academy here, they were thrilled and wanted to visit. So, I brought them in the hope they will learn one or two things."
"Running such a huge academy, you surely won't reject such a small request, right?" Zhyho's provocative words reached everyone's ear.
"You don't have to worry, all of them are only at the Physique Enrichment stage. I could see the two of your students are also at the same level." Afraid Alfin would reject his request, Zhyho added glancing Zev and Gin.
As soon as he spoke, Gin and others looked at the ten youths behind Zhyho – 8 boys and 2 girls.
All of them looked young, around 17 or 18 with their cultivation at the peak Physique Enrichment stage. Surprisingly, two of the best in the group discovered 10 hidden seals, while the other eight youths uncovered 9 hidden seals.
'Snort, finally revealing your true intentions, huh?.' Dean Alfin curled his lip with half-smirk.
If it was some months before, he would have rejected the request without any thought. But now, his thought process was different.
He was thinking of how to make good use of the special grinding stones sent from the Silver Dragon domain. It was a heaven-sent opportunity for his students Gin and Zev who both were in the Physique Enrichment stage.
"Why not? I just hope they are mentally strong like yourself to face defeats." Dean Alfin smiled glancing at the ten youths standing behind Zhyho.
Anger consumed the youngsters' faces, hearing Dean Alfin's words. Zhyho snorted, "We will see!"
In truth, he was little taken back noticing Alfin's smile and how confident he looked.
It didn't diminish Zhyho's confidence as he also has a trump card. The pleasure he gets from humiliating Alfin, there are no words to describe it. So, there's no way in hell he would miss that chance.
It was also the sole purpose of his visit, and why he brought the 10 youngsters with him. He wanted to humiliate Alfin to the core and see his face blush in shame.
Gin and others were perplexed by what's happening before them. Gin could tell Dean Alfin and that person named Zhyho was somewhat related from their conversation.
But, their relationship seems to be bad; to what extent, Gin doesn't know. He didn't have a good opinion about that man, Zhyho, as he senses wicked and sinister vibes from him.
"Rafe! You know what to do, right?" Zhyho called, while the youth named Rafe came forward nodding his head.
He had medium built, dark skin, and handsome face. He wore silver combat clothes with black dragon design.
His face looked arrogant and revealed an uninterested expression as if the impending fight weren't even worth his time.
"Zev, teach him a lesson. You don't have to hold back your strength." Dean Alfin spoke with a smile.
Zev stepped forward, peering at the youth with pity as if he already won the fight. In truth, after he uncovered his 10th hidden he was yearning for a fight. Now, an opportunity presented before him.
