The Azure Myst Sect finally managed to recruit somebody like Aiden who was both strong and possessed terrifying potential without losing much of its precious rare resources. Furthermore, the Church Extermination Force was destroyed! It was truly like killing two birds with one stone!
After the commotion and all the events have been settled, a couple of days have passed by in a flash. There was only a week left from the original 30 day allotted time Aiden, his original team of friends, as well as the other forces of Higrove's Pillars were given for the duration of the original contest.
Seven days before they were scheduled to return, seven more days to go and try to settle everything for Aiden…
In the southern part of Ugburg's Inner City inside a large meeting hall owned by the Azure Myst Sect.
By now, Madam Dara and the others were almost healed up whilst Aiden had long since completely recovered a couple of days ago. Aiden's group, Tai-Liu, her elderly uncle and guardian, and one of the core disciples of Azure Myst Sect's local force, a youngster by the name of Disciple Juno Hian, were gathered.
"[Reptilian] Everyone, the reason why I asked you all and gathered here was to discuss our plan of action for the opening of the Ancient Burial Site." Tai-Liu stood up and opened the meeting with a deep, serious tone of voice.
"[Reptilian] Since I've requested for your help, I'll divulge everything I know without holding back any secrets."
Aiden and his group nodded. They could sense Tai-Liu was sincere with her intentions this time and that he truly wasn't planning on holding anything back.
During this period of time, Azure Myst Sect provided a considerable number of high quality elixirs to help his team of captains and the others with their recovery.
"[Reptilian] In truth, this ruin is related to a one of the major powers back in the olden era… before the cataclysm. It goes back to this city's true origins."
It was clear that there was more to the matter, and that what he would say would be important.
Indeed, Tai-Liu continued. "[Reptilian] This city, whilst its name was lost in time, was once ruled by bareskins in the past… It was an extremely famous location back in the ancient era and was the foremost hub for traders in the surface at one point! Though we do not know what caused the city to sink beneath the ground and become deserted while it remained in such good condition historical records revealed many interesting bits and pieces! At one point, this location was once most known for its incredible talents in alchemy and elixir refinement! In fact, our Azure Myst Sect's founder learned his craft from this very place!"
Aiden's group felt their hearts skip a beat when they heard that.
If an Elixir Refinement Master of the 'olden days' could create a sect, Azure Myst Sect, that turned out to be one of this world's most powerful unorthodox groups, one could only imagine how strong this city was back in the days!
"[Reptilian] These ancient ruins are truly extraordinary." Tai-Liu said with a grim expression. "Not only will there be a large amount of elixirs within, there will also be many elixir recipes as well and powerful artifacts that have been lost!"
Aiden nodded at that thought silently.
Many things have been lost through the times from the ancient era till now.
One could only imagine the outcome of finding one of these long lost recipes of the old Elixir Masters! One could become famous overnight!
"[Reptilian] Of course, apart from elixir recipes, in the ruins of such as these, there's also a chance of obtaining the hidden inheritances if one is extremely lucky. These inheritances are much more precious than elixir recipes or even mere artifacts. They are the legacies the buried knowledges of these old masters! However, the probability of that happening is extremely low it would be extremely hard to gain the recognition of these grand masters…"
Tai-Liu chuckled bitterly. "[Reptilian] Yet, there's no point in thinking about these matters. If we could obtain some elixirs or perhaps find some recipes we should be content!"
…
Aiden smiled to himself as he listened to Tai-Liu's explanation silently. In truth, he was already tempted the moment he heard about the Ancient Burial Site opening back when he arrived in the city.
His interest didn't spawn from Tai-Liu's nudging or even from their agreement, he had already had an idea to explore these ruins regardless.
It was the burial grounds, a ruin related to the guardians of this plane! Perhaps even related to the Ancient One, the one surviving traitor!
After hearing Tao-Liu's introduction of the burial grounds, Aiden was even more certain that they would most likely find the answers of their questions deep inside these ruins and that even find the place and locations of the HIS resting place.
Tai-Liu said. "[Reptilian] Of course, for a city as large as Ugburg City, there will definitely be many other treasures hidden in this Ancient Burial Ground. In fact, we might even find gems like artifact weapons.
Aiden pondered for a moment. "[Reptilian] As agreed I will do my best to help your Azure Myst Sect get in the ruins safely. I also do not wish for anything more that if we find an inheritence, I would be the first one to enter."
"[Reptilian] Ahahahha!" The young man who was silent so far, suddenly burst into loud laughter as he looked at Aiden with a mocking, condescending gaze. "[Reptilian] First spot for an Inheritence? What a daring demand! Who do you think you are, you wretch?!"
"[Reptilian] I'm sorry, I haven't even noticed you so far. Who are you, boy?" Aiden asked with a calm, but at the same time, cold looking smile.
However, the young man, Juno Hian didn't seem to realize the laced threat inside Aiden's question and puffed his chest proudly as he declared loudly. "[Reptilian] I am Juno Hian, core disciple of Azure Myst Sect! My master is the Master of the Golden Myst Battle Hall!"
He also didn't stop that, and carried on with his sudden gained momentum.
"[Reptilian] Do not think that because you are allowed to sit with us, you have the right to negotiate any terms with the Azure Myst Sect! Just because you killed three archbishops do not think you can do whatever you want! Without us, you wouldn't be able to step a foot inside the Burial Grounds, do not forget that!"
"[Reptilian] Juno Hian!"
Tai-Liu glared at him and said sternly.
Harrumphing, Juno Hian did not continue, merely crossing his arms and scoffing coldly.
