Meldrick smiled wryly and remarked, "Yes, but the key word there is 'some'. Unless the people in our sect reach the attainment of level two saints, it'll remain very challenging for us. Nonetheless, these pills are a blessing. With these, we won't need to be so afraid when facing them."
The two of them conversed for a while before proceeding to seek out their grand elder to obtain the pills. Once they received their pills, Draven returned to his living quarters and secluded himself to begin training. He was intent on pushing his attainment to newer heights.
Meldrick, on the other hand, resumed drinking in his courtyard after receiving the pill. The alcohol soon left him completely wasted, thus dulling his focus during training. In the end, he retired to his room and drifted into slumber.
It was already morning by the time he woke up. As he sat in the courtyard, his eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself, "How did that idea not come to me sooner? Birk is reluctant to let Sofia marry the Unbeaten Wind Sect's scion because he is overweight, ugly, and has terrible talent in attainment."
A sly smile crept across his face as he continued his monologue, "But will the Unbeaten Wind Sect's leader wait patiently and do nothing after learning that Sofia already has a partner? Of course, not! They'll probably try to coerce Birk into giving Severin up. Birk will be forced to do as they demand for the sake of everyone else's survival. There's no need to inform the Unbeaten Wind Sect that our sect's disciples have been given so many pills. If a confrontation arises, they may abandon their resistance against the Unbeaten Wind Sect. Furthermore, Severin might be the one eliminated first."
As soon as he had that realization, Meldrick swiftly took flight and headed in the direction of the Unbeaten Wind Sect. Given the relatively short distance between the two sects, he arrived in less than an hour, where he met the Unbeaten Wind Sect's master, several elders, and the scion, Daniel.
Thomas looked at Meldrick with a frown. "I heard that you're a protector from the Stormy Moon Sect. What business do you have with me?"
