Everything was explained.

As soon as August opened his mouth, he made it seem like he wanted to hear these criticizing remarks from the grand ancestor.

Lance’s eyes lit up as he immediately reported to August the idea of everyone in the family preparing to use all their resources to nurture a family inheritor.

At the same time, he completely played up how Mycroft’s confrontation with Austin had been.

The general process was that Mycroft brought his sister to Austin and stood up for her after his sister was beaten up by him. In the end, he would rather die than give in and report the situation as soon as he returned to the family.

In the end, he lowered his head and requested Mycroft become their family’s successor.

After hearing this, August raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mycroft.

A hint of joy immediately appeared on Mycroft’s face as he respectfully called out to his grand ancestor.

August did not hear these words at all and only spoke slowly.

“Mycroft is seventeen this year and has the strength of a peak first-tier mage. Mm… Although he isn’t that talented, I would say he’s barely passable as of now. Since things are like this, we shall just make this child our family’s successor.”

The voice sounded like an order above their heads, feeling them with fear should they disobey.

Lance and Mycroft’s expressions were instantly filled with joy.

Only Bruce’s face looked unsightly as if he had suffered defeat.

After seeing the grand ancestor, how could he not want to immediately open his mouth to ask August to help his daughter fight for the position of being their family’s successor?

However, he didn’t think that the opportunity would be quickly snatched before his eyes by Lance.

Since the position had already been arranged, he could only give up and just be envious.

“Alright, let’s go. Bring me to see that arrogant brat,” August said indifferently and took the lead to walk forward.

Lance and the other two hurriedly followed after the grand ancestor walk forward.

After leaving the door, the elders who had been waiting outside the door for a long time all widened their eyes when they saw the old ancestor coming out of seclusion. They bowed their heads and spoke respectfully.

When they saw August walking toward Christina’s residence, they hurriedly stood up and rushed over.

..

At the Nolan family’s land, within Christina’s courtyard.

The sound of teaching rang out.

Austin was in the room with Christina, explaining in detail the uniqueness of various medicinal herbs and the various signs that one had to pay attention to when refining pills.

At this moment, in the room, there had already been quite a few pill refinement failures.

After all, refining pills wasn’t something that could be taught in one go. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have become the rarest and most precious profession in the Landry continent.

In the current world, alchemists were not made overnight. They were nurtured through countless failures before reaching their own epiphany.

Therefore, even with Austin’s personal guidance, it was very difficult for Christina to reach a proficient alchemic level within such a short period of time.

“Master, I’ve already failed refining this batch of pills for the sixth time already…”

Looking at the black pills in the pill furnace in front of her, Christina could not help but feel a little discouraged.

The reason why she said this was not because she felt inferior, but because she was worried that Austin would be disappointed.

After all, as an alchemy master with extremely high attainments, Austin was so focused on teaching her alchemy skills but she had still failed several times. It was simply too disappointing.

However, Austin’s voice rang out from the side, “What’s the big deal? Just slowly refine it. Don’t worry. With me by your side teaching you, your growth will definitely not be worse than any other alchemist.”

His voice rang out slowly.

This was not Austin comforting Christina. What he said was the truth.

In this world, how was becoming a top-tier alchemist so easy?

From the time he taught Christina alchemy until now, it had only been an hour.

Looking at Christina’s alchemy equipment, it was clear that she was only using a cheap alchemy furnace. He did not know when she had gotten it. It was already very good that it could withstand the high temperature of the flames during alchemy.

Not to mention, Christina had just become a mage. The magic elements in her body were still not enough to support her continuous alchemy.

During the process, there were a few times when Chris gritted her teeth and persevered. Her magical energy was severely depleted that she almost collapsed.

Even Austin secretly praised the perseverance in Christina’s heart. It was not difficult to see how much this girl wanted to prove herself after experiencing so many grievances.

However, there was only so much she could do in just a day.

As a teacher, Austin still knew this fact in his heart.

After Christina consumed the pill that he had just refined, along with the change in her physique, she had just become a mage and was no longer the same person as before.

After all… How could the effects of a pill that he refined just be so simple?

At this moment, perhaps even Christina herself did not realize it but her body had already undergone many changes compared to other mages.
