Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim's facial expression couldn't help but continuously break out into a gleeful smile no matter how he tried to stop it. That's why the dignitaries on the platform were also all excited to hear about this proposition!

They knew that Dalila Leehan wouldn't have dared to publically utter such words if it weren't for the unexpected reward, the Million Emerald Vine Calamity's nectar! To them, the Alchemy Exchange that was initially held to find talents to nurture changed into something else!

The situation just kept getting better and better for them!

Even the thought of purposefully losing to the Thousand Pill Palace's top disciple crossed their minds, but the nectar had its own influence on them, causing them to fall into an abyss of irrevocable temptation between the two! It was as if there were two naked and enticing women on a luxurious red bed, beckoning them to choose one of them!

"Then please do participate in this Alchemy Exchange!" Zeno Alstreim flicked his sleeves as he clasped his hands. The others followed suit, respecting Dalila Leehan's wishes to participate in this pill tournament!

Weiss Alstreim frowned as he felt that he was on the losing end.

Contrary to those words he uttered to the Dragon Queen; he didn't believe that Alchemist Davis would win. After all, how could an Elder Soul Stage brat who could've only reached the Mid-Level Sky Grade in terms of alchemy possibly compete against the few people he designated, who were all Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemists?

He had heard how Alchemist Davis was registered as a Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist by the Ethren Empire's Thousand Pill Palace Branch, but he possessed doubts over as the same as anyone in this hall that had previously investigated Alchemist Davis. After all, the records were hazy, and the examiner who oversaw Alchemist Davis's Peak-Level Sky Grade Exam seemed to have gone missing.

The whole thing was like a farce and remained suspicious, to say the least.

He was convinced by himself that it was the Dragon Queen's influence that got Alchemist Davis a Peak-Level Sky Grade Token and a six-starred purple robe he was currently wearing, issued by the Thousand Pill Palace Branch.

Even if Alchemist Davis really was a Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist, he just mused that his pill concoction skills and level could not be compared with the others whom he had selected. He mused that he would run out of energy and faint, embarrassing himself in front of everyone.

Weiss Alstreim inwardly grinned as he couldn't wait to see such a scene. However, it was further despairing for himself when especially Dalila Leehan, a true, top-tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist, was involved! He believed that the chances of the people he designated winning were less than twenty percent!

He tried to take her away, but it ended up backfiring against him!

"Then, I'll abide upon my words and give my everything to win in this Alchemy Exchange!" Dalila Leehan clasped her hands and gave a junior's bow!

Over to the side stood four people who were called out by Weiss Alstreim.

Boreas Alstreim, Augustus Alstreim and Claudius Alstreim.

The three purple-robed, blonde-haired men each had their own postures and characteristics, but they all possessed solemn expressions over their faces, obviously intimidated by Dalila Leehan. Looking at her bright six-starred purple robe and the demeanor of an alchemy powerhouse, they were forced to admit the disparity between them even though they were part of the same group of the younger generation.

However, the woman, Sophie Alstreim, possessed a carefree expression on her face, only having eyes for the Dragon Queen. It was as if she had already given up on the Alchemy Exchange and instead concentrated on fantasizing about getting interactions with the Dragon Queen.

She pursed her lips and held her fists to her ample bosoms, seemingly having deep respect in her heart.

Weiss Alstreim finally spoke after musing that all was not lost.

"Dragon Queen. Let me introduce-"

"No need..." Davis suddenly stepped in and cut him off.

"They have mouths to speak for themselves, and I heard that the Young Master and the Young Mistress could send their representatives to participate in their stead as alchemists. So pick one and be done with it. Why are you introducing the four of them as if they are all on your side?"

Weiss Alstreim narrowed his eyes, "It's not like that... I-"...

"That's right!" A disgruntled voice suddenly echoed from behind.

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice and saw that it was one of the three talented alchemists. He possessed a simple neck-length hair cut, had his posture relaxed but confident with his hands folded.

"Young Master, I don't know about the others, but I have never talked to you to begin with, so now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be representing myself in this sacred stage."

Weiss Alstreim became taken aback as he didn't expect this nobody to talk back to him. He gritted his teeth as he forced a smirk.

"Do you know what you're doing, Claudius Alstreim!?"

His voice was laden with a dangerous threat.

"I do..." Claudius Alstreim simply nodded his head and moved two steps back from the place he stood with the other three alchemists.

"You'll regret this!" Weiss Alstreim sent a soul transmission, his eyes filled with resentment and hostility.

"So what? I am an Alchemist of the Brilliant Flame Corps. I am not afraid of you!" Claudius Alstreim openly stated without the use of soul transmission, causing Weiss Alstreim to be stared at with ill intent by many people.

On the seating side of the platform, Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim nodded his head in appreciation. The low-key talent was indeed daring to show his fangs at the right opportunity.

'Nurturing such a seedling is better indeed...' He mused.

"Good, very good..." Weiss Alstreim muttered in a low voice before he looked at the other three he called out before, "What about all three of you? Think carefully before you answer..."

His eyes flashed with a hint of warning as he was no longer as conspicuous as before.

While the two men became hesitant, the woman frowned at Weiss Alstreim before she smiled, "I don't mind becoming your representative if you kowtow to me."

"You!?" Weiss Alstreim's expression changed, "Sophie Alstreim! Do you know who you're talking to!?"

"The trash of the Alstreim Family who hides behind his 'grandma' all the time he couldn't solve a problem, or am I wrong?"

Sophie Alstreim simply shrugged with a mocking smile on her face.

"You! I'll have you thrown to the magical beast dungeon as a dinner for them!" Weiss Alstreim totally lost his cool as he pointed his finger at Sophie Alstreim. His eyes even became moist before it turned hateful as it reminded him of the exile he received from his own group.

Sophie Alstreim sneered.

"Have you forgotten that I'm the most fawned granddaughter of Grand Elder Krax Alstreim?"

She became amused before she shot up a middle finger at him. She moved two steps back like Claudius Alstreim, no longer minding about Weiss Alstreim or the gazes she received from the people who became shocked by her actions.

Weiss Alstreim's eyes turned a bit bloodshot!
