Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

At this point, there was a division among the crowd. The majority of the crowd backed Fabian, and only a small portion signified their support for Zachary. However, this was already deemed a good thing since it was only recently when Zachary joined the Dignified Supernal Sect. Hence, his popularity within the sect was undoubtedly not as strong as Fabian's. But because he had astounding achievements in the sect's previous assessment, along with the lavish presents he previously gave away, he managed to make an impression on many inner disciples. As a result, he left a mark and became famous in the sect.

Shortly after, the competition commenced. Almost instantly, Fabian lifted his hands in the air, and a brown martial energy surrounded the entire furnace placed before him, causing it to give off a radiant glow.

The brown radiance was alchemic martial energy, a unique form of martial energy mainly used for pill refining. Once a warrior acquired skills on refining pills effectively, this type of energy would usually appear close to his lower abdomen. It would serve as the basis when he executed his alchemic skills.

For a while, the people who finally acknowledged Zachary's alchemic skill looked taken aback by this development.

Sharon's beautiful eyes somewhat opened wide in surprise, but she thought that this was reasonable. What others didn't know was that her aunt had given Zachary undivided attention to cultivating him. She knew that even if it were the Dignified Supernal Sect's most vital alchemic skill, not to mention the Four-beast Alchemic Skill, her aunt would gladly impart it to Zachary without hesitation.

However, what she couldn't comprehend was that the Four-beast Alchemic Skill typically required someone with Sage Level strength to display the skill. However, Zachary's strength hadn't reached the Sage Level yet. This puzzled her to the extreme.
