Chapter 268: 262: Power of Destiny

Translator: 549690339

Walking outside the luxurious residential area of Rosewood College, David Jones felt somewhat conflicted.

Audrey’s intentions were evident. Even if one were to simultaneously cultivate both Trainer and Alchemy, a primary focus must still be chosen between the two. Otherwise, it would lead to mediocrity and confusion.

David Jones was well aware that becoming a Pharmacist was merely a means for him to acquire resources. His ultimate goal had always been to become a powerful Trainer.

“How should I kindly reject Audrey?”

With this thought in mind, David Jones used his student card to open the main gate of the residential area and quickly arrived at the entrance of a stand-alone mansion.

Perhaps because there are fewer students at Rosewood College, every student’s luxurious residence is surrounded by greenery and flower gardens, and even a crystal-clear stream running by, extending to the main campus.

Entering the room with a password, David Jones took out three junior dragon crystals from his Star Ring and started his daily dragon crystal strengthening practice.

Except for learning Alchemy from Audrey, David Jones would either cultivate using Calm Mind or strengthen his pets and dragon crystals with

Dragon-Wielding, occasionally practicing the Afterglow Array but with little progress.

David Jones continued with this monotonous cultivation life for over a month.

!!..

With his relentless efforts, he managed to refine a total of thirty Arcane-Accumulating Elixirs during this period.

As one of the three elite products, the Arcane-Accumulating Elixir is expensive. A single high-quality one can sell for up to 20 million.

Excluding the cost of the herbs and the expenses of failed Alchemy attempts, David Jones made a net profit of 240 million Star Coins in a month, almost catching up with a Senior Alchemist in terms of money-making ability.

However, what delighted David Jones even more was Rainbow’s strength had already reached the peak of Class III Superior.

If she were to consume Dragon Blood Fruit, Rainbow might be able to directly ignite the bloodline fire and advance to Class IV Elite.

However, Rainbow rejected David Jones’s suggestion, saying she could break through her limits without consuming the precious Dragon Blood Fruit. She wanted to save it for when she attempted to reach Class VI.

After learning about Rainbow’s thoughts, David Jones focused most of his energy on the strengthening of high-level Dragon Crystals, hoping to assist Daphne’s evolution and Rainbow’s advancement. As a result, he painstakingly produced four high-level Dragon Crystals in one month.

At this moment, David Jones tightly held three dark red crystals in his hands and poured all the majestic Dragon-Wielding power within his body into them.

Since Arcane Star reached Class IV, not only did his Dragon-Wielding power gain the Dragon Dance trait, but the speed of purifying high-level dragon crystals also doubled.

If it weren’t for Daphne’s evolution and Rainbow’s advancement requiring a large number of high-level Dragon Crystals, David Jones would even want to try strengthening a Dragon Crystal above the high-level ones.

Time flew by during the Dragon Crystal strengthening process. Unknowingly, night fell, and the red glow began to burst from the Dragon Crystals in David Jones’s hands.

Upon detecting the qualitative change in the junior Dragon Crystals, a hint of surprise flashed in David Jones’s eyes.

Five minutes later, the red light faded, a pink light appeared, and three high-level crystals with an attractive aura appeared in his hand.

“Nine high-level Dragon Crystals should be enough.”

With the materials for Daphne’s evolution sorted out in his mind, David Jones showed an excited smile on his face.

“Daphne, are you ready?”

David Jones’s gaze met the pure white ragdoll lying on the sofa.

“Meow!” (o’V’)o (Ready!)

Rosewood College Dungeon Control Room.

“Are you sure you want to use 1000 Points to go to the Turtle Island Volcano?”

Looking at the genius Trainer whose reputation had risen in Rosewood City, the Dungeon administrator, Ruth Phyllis, asked earnestly.

“Yes, please open the portal to the Dungeon, Teacher.”

In order for a Pet to evolve, it needs to absorb enough Arcane Force to complete the metamorphosis. Turtle Island Volcano, a Fire Type Dungeon, was the best place for evolution chosen by David Jones for Daphne. He had even consulted Audrey about it.

Seeing that David Jones had made up his mind, Ruth Phyllis had no choice but to remind him, “1,000 points can only allow you to stay in Turtle Island Volcano for one day. If you encounter any danger, please activate the Void Stone bracelet to leave the Dungeon immediately.”

“Understood.” David Jones responded succinctly.

The next second, under Ruth Phyllis’s control, a fiery red space channel appeared on the ancient platform.

“You can enter when you’re ready.” Ruth Phyllis said.

Hearing this, David Jones glanced at the Rainbow on his wrist and eagerly stepped into the space channel.

Watching David Jones’s figure disappear in the blink of an eye, Ruth Phyllis picked up her phone and made a call.

“Professor Harvey, David Jones has just entered the Turtle Island Volcano Dungeon.”

“Understood. Please ask the Lava Turtle elder to take care of my little junior brother.”

“Understood.”

Even knowing that Professor Harvey couldn’t see her through the phone, Ruth Phyllis still nodded solemnly.

On the other side, hanging up the phone, Audrey Harvey pondered as she looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky outside the window.

“Fate is unpredictable and can’t be seen through. Is there really the Power of Destiny, as unbelievable as legend, in the Turtle Island Volcano Dungeon?” she muttered.

Rosewood College controlled many Dungeons with different Types; Turtle Island Volcano was just an inconspicuous Fire Type dungeon in the eyes of the students.

However, only the top leaders of Rosewood College knew that the Turtle Island Volcano Dungeon actually hid the Power of Destiny, which could turn an ordinary person into a saint.

If it hadn’t been for Saint Ingersoll’s personal statement before his death, no one would have dared to believe that the founder of Rosewood College, Saint Ingersoll, was actually just an ordinary pharmacist with average talent.

It is said that the reason Saint Ingersoll was able to rise to prominence in the Flowery Kingdom and even become the most legendary Saint of Pharmacist of his time was because he merged with a Power of Destiny in the Turtle Island Volcano Dungeon.

Unfortunately, thousands of years have passed, and besides Saint Ingersoll, no teacher or student of Rosewood College has ever encountered the Power of Destiny within the Turtle Island Volcano, including Audrey Harvey and the Lava Turtle living inside the Dungeon.

“I don’t know if my decision is right or wrong!”

Audrey Harvey, holding her delicate chin with her fingers, fell into deep thought.

Ignoring the existence of the Power of Destiny in the legend, Turtle Island Volcano Dungeon, filled with abundant Fire Type Arcane Force, was indeed a perfect place for David Jones and Titanium Ragdoll to evolve.

“What am I thinking? So many students enter Turtle Island Volcano every year, but none of them have encountered it. How could my little junior brother possibly encounter the Power of Destiny?”

Realizing her innermost expectation, Audrey Harvey couldn’t help but laugh at herself a little absurdly.

For thousands of years, countless talents from Rosewood College had failed to encounter the Power of Destiny. How could David Jones possibly find it on his first entry?

Even her own ancestor, Saint Ingersoll, had only encountered that elusive Power of Destiny on his second visit to Turtle Island Volcano.

More importantly, David Jones’s goal was just to help the Titanium Ragdoll complete its evolution.
