Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

"You bastard, we finally found you!"

When the two women arrived at Sylvus's shop, one of them removed her black hood, revealing her face. Sylvus smiled slightly upon seeing her, not at all surprised.

Because as soon as she had entered the 200-meter range of his shop, he had already sensed her presence.

"What is it? Are you here to buy some pills?" Sylvus asked with a smile.

"Are you the one who threw our princess out? I will kill you!"

Bia, standing beside the elf princess, let out a cold snort. Her magical power exploded from within her, and she prepared to attack Sylvus.

"Bang…"

But before she could act, Sylvus merely glared at her, and she was instantly sent flying. She crashed into the wall, spitting out blood, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Sylvus.

She was a **Nine-Star Magus Sovereign**, yet she had been sent flying so easily?

Meylan, who was standing nearby, was stunned at the sight. It seemed his boss still hadn't lost his ruthlessness. Even a beautiful elf woman was not spared from his harshness.

"Buying pills is welcome, but if you're looking for trouble, do you really think you're qualified?" Sylvus asked with a smile as he looked at the two women.

The elf princess bit her lip, trying to speak, but she coughed up blood and collapsed onto the ground.

"Princess, are you alright?"

Bia cried out in alarm, ignoring her own injuries as she rushed to the princess's side.

"Her anger has worsened her condition. She was supposed to survive until tonight, but now she only has a few hours left," Sylvus said calmly, casting a glance at her.

"You... can you save me?" The princess looked up at Sylvus with a cold expression.

Even though she didn't believe he had the ability, if there was a chance he could save her, she had to take it.

"Of course, I can save you. But your attitude doesn't seem like one of someone seeking help," Sylvus shrugged.

"You bastard, this is the princess of the elf tribe! She's the future leader of the elves! Are you really asking her to beg you?" Bia shouted in anger.

"If you don't want the help, that's fine by me. I don't care either way," Sylvus said indifferently, turning to walk upstairs.

"Wait! Please... please save me!"

Just as Sylvus turned his back, the princess gritted her teeth and spoke, her voice filled with humiliation. As a princess, she had never been forced to humble herself like this before.

But her life was at stake. If this man couldn't save her, she would definitely take revenge, even if it cost her life.

She had already made up her mind. This was the Holy City in the Bork Empire. If Sylvus owned a shop here, he must be under the imperial protection.

When she saw the emperor, she would only need to say a word, and this man would be finished.

Hearing her voice, Sylvus stopped, turning back to look at her with a mocking expression.

"Your tone doesn't sound like someone who's sincerely asking for help, but since I haven't had any business today, I'll help you this time. Meylan, fetch her a Green Jade Heart Pill."

Meylan nodded and quickly retrieved a green pill from the shelf.

"This is a **Seventh-Grade Green Jade Heart Pill**. It will heal your injuries and remove the foreign energy inside you. The price is one million magic crystals. Pay up first," Sylvus said calmly, looking at the princess.

"You're still asking for money?"

Bia shouted angrily. The princess had already lowered herself to ask for help, yet this man still dared to demand money?

Aren't human men supposed to be greedy and lustful? She could see the greed, but where was the lust?

"Bia, give him the money!" The princess was furious but held it in. She would tolerate this humiliation until her injuries were healed.

Bia glared at Sylvus angrily, then pulled out a magical space ring containing the crystals. Luckily, she had brought plenty of magic crystals with her.

"If this doesn't work, the elf tribe will not spare you!" The princess said coldly as she glanced at Sylvus before swallowing the pill.

At first, she thought the pill would taste bitter, but to her surprise, it had a unique, pleasant flavor.

The elves were the children of nature, and the princess was familiar with countless herbs. Yet, she couldn't identify the ingredients of this pill.

Moments after swallowing it, she felt a cool energy spreading through her body, soothing her injuries.

Sylvus watched her closely, not because he was worried about her condition, but because he was curious about the strange energy inside her.

This princess was a **Seven-Star Archmage** and an elf, known for their powerful healing abilities.

But even so, she had been gravely injured and was on the brink of death due to this mysterious energy inside her.

Time passed slowly, and the princess's aura began to recover. A faint blush returned to her face.

Even Bia was surprised at how quickly the pill seemed to be working. Could this unknown pill really heal the princess?

But then, suddenly, a dark purple energy surged from within the princess, coursing through her meridians, attempting to destroy her body once again.

"This is bad! The energy is acting up again!"

Bia's expression changed as she prepared to use magic to help the princess, but Sylvus stopped her.

"What are you doing? This energy is the nemesis of the elf tribe. If we don't stop it now, the princess will die!" Bia shouted as she tried to break free of Sylvus's grip.

But in the next moment, Sylvus slapped her hard, sending her flying once again.

Bia hadn't expected Sylvus to strike her, and she was thrown through the air, coughing up blood.

"If you make another sound, you'll die," Sylvus's cold voice echoed in Bia's ears.

She had wanted to get up and retaliate, but his words sent a chill through her, freezing her in place. She didn't dare to move.

Sylvus didn't bother explaining. He had been irritated by Bia's shouting earlier, and although he hadn't planned to deal with it, she had been too noisy.

Meylan swallowed nervously as he watched, silently admiring Sylvus. Other men would have been drooling over the beauty of the elf women, but his boss was different.

Not only had he kicked out the elf princess, but now he had slapped another elf woman.

Who would dare to do such a thing? And who would want to?

At that moment, a bright light emerged from within the princess, and the dark purple energy seemed to be frightened by it. It quickly fled from her body.
