"If you two are done with your exchange then can I start with my introductions!"
While the two of them were trying to place the responsibility of handling the middle-age woman on each other, she spoke.
"Hey kid, no need to be so defensive against me, it's not like I am going to eat you. My name is Kaden Sweet, I am an inner section elder and also your sisters senior apprentice, it's nice to meet you"
Kaden gave a very short introduction of herself, but that was still enough to blow his mind upon hearing it.
From what he had read, only one who reaches the Form embodiment realm can stop his body from decaying, before that no matter which realm you are, your body would continue to age.
There were various pills that could stop that and even make you look young but the problem was that they were quite hard to make, also the herbs and the grade of herbs required for such pills are not really easy to find and if by chance someone does find them, he would rather make some good cultivation pills from then rather than make an anti-ageing pill.
Which led to the latest situation, if the woman in front of him had not taken such a pill then it would only mean one thing, when she was around 30 years of age she had broken through the Form embodiment realm.
One has to know that even the kids who come from prominent cultivation families would take 3 to 4 years to reach the Spirit refining realm, from there each stage would require them at least two to three years of time to breakthrough and for the final advancement of the realm, the understanding required to advance in your cultivation manual would easily take a decade and this can be only done once he reaches the peak of the realm, which means that a cultivator would require 30 to 40 years to reach the Form embodiment realm.
Just one look at elder Fryer and one would be able to tell whether this was true or not, as this we're all theories.
Sometimes it would even take longer depending on the talent of understanding the cultivator has, because he cannot make the improvements in his cultivation manual because of his idiocy than even if he is given the resources from all over the world, he might not advance.
Even elder Fryer had taken 60 years to go from Spirit refining realm to Form embodiment realm, still, he was regarded as a century genius and was an idol to many.
Then what about this woman, from her, looks it does not look like it even took her twenty years to go from Spirit refining to Form embodiment realm.
And this was just his sister's elder apprentice, then what about the one teaching them, what level would he or she be at, he did not even know if his sister had any more amazing senior apprentice, sister or brother.
While he slowly calmed himself down he gave a polite greeting to Kaden, " I am very sorry for my impoliteness from earlier and hope that Elder Kaden would not take it to your heart and be magnanimous to forgive this ill-informed junior and I also apologize for my late introduction I am Knave"
"Oh look at this gentlemanly junior! you don't have to be so uptight in front of me, also as you are Vanessa's brother you don't have to call me, Elder Kaden.
Senior sister Kaden or Sister Kaden would do"
"Ok then, Sister Kaden it is" Knave really didn't mind all this small notions, he had seen too much in his past life and thus was able to make out nature of people more easily
It was because of this that when Fryer had told him only half the things when he had asked him whether he would harm him a few months ago he still continued coming to learn alchemy from him, because he could tell that he had no malicious intention towards him.
Similar to this Sister Kaden, whose look suddenly changed.
