Chapter 243


    “Mr. Cadman, I can''t take something that belongs to you,” Jonathan declined his offer instinctively. He


    noticed that it was a gold badge.


    Lance told him, “I collected a meteorite when I was traveling in the universe and made it into this gold


    badge. It is a rare meteorite that can contain my mana well. Thus, I used this badge and created a


    Destino Art to predict the future. Keep this badge with you. When you run into danger in the future,


    activate it. It might save your life one day.”


    That had Jonathan''s heart racing. He shed a shy smile and said, “Thank you, Mr. Cadman.” He took


    the gold badge.


    “You need to utter a spell to activate the gold badge. The sybles from the spell canmunicate with


    my mana inside the gold badge. Remember the spell.” Lance then rattled out the spell. “Can you


    remember it?” he asked.


    Jonathan nodded.


    Lance grinned. “All right, that''s it. It''s time for me to leave. Young man, goodbye!”


    Having said that, his body turned into a sh of light and flew up to the sky.


    Jonathan was stunned.


    He stroked the gold badge as emotions filled his heart.


    Mr. Cadman is literally an immortal in myths. Back when Mabel mentioned “infinite mana,” I imagined


    what it would look like. Mr. Cadman has achieved it. It will be great if I can be like him one day!


    Jonathan pondered about it. There is hope for me. Where there''s a will, there is a way. Mr. Cadman


    and the like didn''t have everythingid out for them, but they managed to seed. They have shown


    us the way, so I shouldn''t be afraid of achieving sess.


    Jonathan returned to Divine Realm to meet Richard at Chard Hall.


    Among the three masters, Jonathan''s favorite was Richard.


    He had a good impression of Richard and now trusted him wholeheartedly because Lance trusted


    Richard.


    Chard Hall was in charge of Luminary Vessel, so he was a big shot within Divine Realm.


    Chard Hall, the alchemy room, and Luminary Vessel were side by side.


    Jonathan came to a stop at the courtyard outside Chard Hall. It looked heartwarming and was full of


    flowers and nts.


    Chard Hall was a red and white building that looked like Vipod Residence in Yaleview.


    Jonathan walked across the courtyard and stopped outside the door of Chard Hall. There were two


    security guards guarding the entrance.


    All disciples from both the inner circle and outer circle wouldn''t lower themselves to be security


    guards.


    “I''m Jonathan Lawson. I''m here to see Master Richard,” Jonathan told the security guards.


    One of them took a look at Jonathan. “Master Richard has left orders. You can enter now.”


    They made way for him.


    “Thank you!” Jonathan thanked them and stepped into Chard Hall.


    A foyer appeared in his sight when he stepped into Chard Hall. The coffee table and chairs made of red


    sandalwood gave off a vintage vibe.


    Jonathan''s field of vision was surprisingly wide as the ceiling was very tall.


    There was a young and prettydy sweeping the fall inside the foyer, d in a red dress. She was an


    Anndurn.


    It was apparent that the youngdy wasn''t a cultivator. Jonathan assumed she was tasked to clean up


    Chard Hall every day.


    Divine Realm provided many job opportunities to the outside world. It offered high sries and


    tempting benefits.


    Hence, many Anndurns and Chanaeans were willing to work here.


    Besides, it wasn''t easy to get a job within Divine Realm.


    Divine Realm would only hire university graduates with a clean background and proper attitude.


    Even though the realm was pretty kind and generous to the employees, they were required to sign a


    non-disclosure agreement before entering the ce. One would face dire consequences if one were to


    expose Divine Realm''s secret.


    “I''m here to meet Master Richard,” Jonathan told the Anndurndy politely in Ustranasian.


    Thedy shed a smile. “Sure. Wait a minute. I''ll inform him about your arrival.”


    Jonathan straightened his back in the foyer as though he were a stick.


    Soon, Richard came out.


    Lah, Yuna, and Richard''s eldest disciple tagged along behind him.


    Richard''s eldest disciple was ady named Beatrix Lachman.


    Beatrix was thirty-six years old. d in a white long gown, she bore a calm expression.


    Despite being in her thirties, she seemed like she was in her twenties.


    Beatrix was a Level Five Divine Master. She was the most capable disciple Richard had.


    Richard had a total of three disciples who were all capable beings.


    Two of his male disciples traveled throughout the year as Richard was very easy on them.


    “Master Richard!” Jonathan greeted him politely.


    Richard''s lips curved. “I''ve already told Bee to prepare the necessary stuff. Come on in,” he invited.


    He spun on his heels and strode away.


    Jonathan couldn''t help but grow curious.


    Yuna seemed downcast when Jonathan walked beside her and Lah. Despite his curiosity, he didn''t


    say a word.


    Shortly after, Jonathan and the other two arrived at the inner hall to join Richard and Beatrix. Hot coffee


    was served.


    Richard sat in his seat and announced, “Jonathan, I want to take you as my disciples. Are you willing to


    be my disciples?”


    That was exactly what Jonathan wanted. Of course, I''m willing! As an inner disciple, my status will be


    higher than a Gold outer disciple. It''s a fast-track promotion!


    “I do!” Jonathan replied in delight.


    Richard added, “I''ll also take Simon and the rest. Tell them about my decision. They have toe and


    meet me when they return.”


    “Yes, Master Richard!” came Jonathan''s answer.


    Richard''s lips curved. “I''m your master from now on.”


    Beatrix poured coffee for them and said, “Serve your master coffee and bow to him. From today


    onward, you''ll be his disciples.”


    Jonathan and the other two did as told.


    After they bowed to him, Richard shed a satisfied grin. It was a joyous asion. Jonathan, Lah,


    and Yuna were all promising young talents!


    Richard never likedpeting with Oswald and the rest, but it wouldn''t harm to get more capable


    disciples.


    He then told Beatrix to get three boxes. “You''re skilled in martial arts and Destino Arts. I might''ve taken


    you as my disciples, but you still have to figure out how to improve your cultivation. I can''t teach you


    anything, but here''s a gift from me!”


    After saying that, he gave them each a box.


    Inwardly, Jonathan was getting excited. He knew that the boxes contained elixir pills. They must be


    quality pills!


    “Thank you, Master!” the three of them chorused.


    Richard told them, “I need to leave, so if you have any problems or questions, you may ask forN?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Beatrix''s help.” Having said that, he rose to his feet and left.


    “Goodbye, Master!” Jonathan and the other two bade him goodbye.


    Richard seemed like a kind man, so Jonathan feltfortable being around him.


    After Richard left, Beatrix stretched her arm out. “Wee.”


    The three of them shook hands with her.


    Beatrix then exined, “Chard Hall is in charge of Luminary Vessel, which focuses on alchemy. We


    usually don''t get into fights, so Oswald and Gideon dared not find fault with us. In fact, no one can


    afford to disturb the alchemy department. After this, I''ll show you around the alchemy department so


    you can get used to the surroundings.”


    They nodded obediently. “Got it, Beatrix.”


    “That''s all for today. You can get some rest now,” Beatrix concluded.


    Jonathan and his friends left Chard Hall.


    The zing midday sun shone relentlessly above them.


    Jonathan felt grateful to be alive. He nced at Lah, whose head hung low as she was deep in


    thought.


    Yuna seemed downcast too.


    Jonathan came to a stop before Yuna and said gently, “Yuna, I''m sorry.”


    Stunned, Yuna raised her head to look at Jonathan. Her gaze was clear and innocent.


    Jonathan gazed at her sincerely.


    Forcing a smile, Yuna replied, “You didn''t do anything wrong. Why are you apologizing?”


    Jonathan uttered, “You look unhappy.” He paused and added, “Are you upset because you have to


    leave Gideon''s faction?”


    Before Yuna could say anything, Lah cut in, “Yuna grew up in Gideon''s faction. Gideon might be


    stern, but he was the one who brought her up. It''s normal for her to be unhappy after changing her


    faction suddenly.”


    Yuna turned to Lah. “What about you, Lah? Aren''t you upset?”


    After going silent for a while, Lah answered, “There''s nothing to be upset about. Let''s stop talking


    about this. The most important thing to do now is to move our belongings over. We can''t stay with


    Gideon''s faction anymore.”


    Yuna nodded. “You''re right.”


    “Let me help you,” Jonathan offered immediately.


    Lah didn''t refuse his help.


    Yuna asked, “Lah, where are we moving to?”


    Lah said, “We can get Beatrix to make the arrangements.”


    “There are many empty rooms in my condominium. Why don''t you move in with me? It will be fun if we


    live together,” Jonathan suggested.


    “Sure!” Yuna agreed instantly, for she loved being around people.


    Lah froze. She sympathized with Yuna and couldn''t bring herself to refute Jonathan as Yuna was


    finally feeling better.


    The moving was finallypleted at night.


    They were all gathered inside Jonathan''s condominium. Jonathan took a shower and put on new


    clothes before he went to the living room.


    Lah and Yuna were also taking showers in their respective bathrooms.


    Jonathan finally had free time to check out the box that Richard gave them earlier.


    The box was opened to reveal a white elixir pill inside.


    It didn''t smell of anything.


    The elixir pills produced by Divine Realm were of excellent quality. Elixir pills weren''t supposed to smell


    of anything as each pill would seal all the effects within it.


    What pill is this? Jonathan couldn''t figure out what pill it was as he didn''t know much about elixir pills.


    Jonathan was about to switch on his notebook to check the elixir pill on Divine Realm''s website when


    Lah came out.
