Chapter 564 Who was that just now?
Rowan was equally surprised that a being as powerful as Alice would care so much about energy crystals.
Isn't it said that for those above the Destroyer Deity power level, absorbing energy from energy crystals is meaningless?
But then he thought, when Alice was helping others refine pills with alchemy in front of his pharmacy before, didn't she also receive compensation?
Thinking about it this way, could it be that this great being was experiencing the life of the lower deities?
Truly a hermit of high caliber, always knows how to enjoy life!
"I was too hasty!" Rowan responded, coming back to his senses and carefully presented a spatial storage ring with both hands, "Master, this spatial storage ring contains ten thousand energy crystals, along with the ring itself as the fee for purchasing this divine medicine!"
He had even considered giving Alice several tens of thousands more energy crystals, but after much hesitation, decided to stick with ten thousand.
Would such a powerful being really care about these energy crystals?
Thinking too small!
Hearing him say this, Alice nodded slightly and accepted the spatial storage ring, but then she added, "You have your own bottle, right? Give mine back to me."
The divine medicine, Alice didn't care about that,she had agreed to help with the alchemy. But that little glass bottle was given to her by William, and she now understood a principle.
Anything given by William, even if it appears to be an ordinary bottle, is definitely something valuable.
And how could she bear to give away something William gave her?
"Understood!" Rowan could feel the faint but powerful energy residue on the glass bottle when he handed it back, realizing it too must be an extraordinary magical artifact. He almost walked away with it...
How embarrassing that would have been!
At this moment, he also had an epiphany!
The reason this goddess with extraordinary powers stopped him probably wasn't for those energy crystals, but for the glass bottle!
When Alice asked for the glass bottle back, that's when she revealed a smile like that of an infatuated fool.
William said to her, "You've earned so many energy crystals, you must be happy now. Aren't you going to heal yourself?"
Just for concocting a Frost Spirit Elixir, she ended up seriously injured and still managed to laugh so foolishly. William was quite impressed.
It's just that Alice's constitution is special now, and her injuries heal extremely fast. In just a short while, if she doesn't urgently treat herself, she'd almost be healed.
"Did I get injured?" Alice looked at William somewhat astonished.
She doesn't think her condition counts as being injured?
William explained, "Although your power isn't high right now, you are at least a Mortal Deity. You even fainted! Don't you know you're injured?"
"What should I do to heal myself?" Alice felt fine except for feeling a bit weak just now, but William's words seemed to make sense.
William advised, "Energy crystals are not only for trading but can also be used to boost strength and heal injuries. You might want to give it a try."
Alice's eyes lit up, surprised, "They have that function?"
William nodded, "You can try it."
Alice had thought energy crystals were only for purchasing goods.
If they could be used for boosting strength and healing, then energy crystals indeed are a valuable currency in Divine Realm.
Without hesitation, she took out two thousand energy crystals from the spatial storage ring and began absorbing their energy.
The secret techniques Alice learned from William were too special. After initiating the technique, the energy from the energy crystals in front of her was wildly absorbed, and in just 20 seconds, two thousand energy crystals turned to dust.
"Hmm?" Alice felt suddenly comfortable all over, as if the soul energy within her body had stabilized, but this sensation quickly disappeared. She slowly opened her eyes, looking at the pile of dust in front of her, her facial muscles twitching.
That fast?
Two thousand energy crystals just disappeared?
William smiled and asked, "How does it feel?"
Alice's expression was complex: "Feels like a loss."
More than just a loss!
She clearly felt that only the soul energy inside her body had stabilized, without any improvement. To lose two thousand energy crystals for that, how could she not feel it was a loss?
Especially since it happened too quickly!
William said, "It's not a loss! If you used all ten thousand energy crystals, you could roughly advance to the mid-stage of the Mortal Deity level."
Ten thousand energy crystals are not a small amount in Divine Realm. For others, it's usually reserved for breaking through bottlenecks.
Alice didn't use them at any bottleneck,as long as the quantity of energy absorbed from the energy crystals was sufficient, her strength could advance rapidly, breaking through swiftly.
It just meant that the quantity of energy crystals needed was somewhat large.
As for secret techniques, if William wanted to teach, Alice could learn countless top-tier techniques. However, William felt that teaching her the techniques she's learning now, along with giving her a sword, was enough for the time being.
Mainly because teaching too much, he felt Alice might not be able to learn it all.
As long as her power level was reached, a single sword is enough to traverse the Divine Realm.
Hearing William's words, Alice fell into thought.
William hadn't previously told her about encountering bottlenecks after reaching a certain level of power, mainly because the secret techniques William taught her had no concept of bottlenecks. That is, as long as there were enough energy crystals, she could continuously elevate her power level.
Such a windfall through alchemy as today's was rare and not to be relied upon; she needed to think of other ways to earn more energy crystals.
Now, Alice was no longer in a hurry to rescue Loki.
She was well aware that even if Loki was rescued, William would still present her with other challenges.
William's fundamental purpose was to make her stronger, which was also her own desire, striving to keep up with William's pace.
Why not just earn more energy crystals?
After Rowan left and William closed the door, more people gathered outside the residence, but they dared not come in easily.
Alice snapped back to reality at the sound of a gentle knock on the door.
"Is there someone outside?" Alice looked towards the door, uncertain who was knocking.
William knew that such a commotion would definitely attract many people.
"Come in."
He didn't answer Alice but spoke to someone outside.
The door slowly opened, revealing a dignified middle-aged man in a white robe.
The middle-aged man was visibly startled upon seeing William, then turned around, gently closed the door, and when he turned back, froze in place again.
William chuckled, "What? Don't recognize me after a few days?"
The middle-aged man quickly approached, stopping about 10 feet from William, then stretched out his hands, exclaiming excitedly, "Master! I didn't expect that it was really you who caused such a great anomaly."
William waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, Zeus! Is that so surprising? Anything else?"
Zeus looked up and asked, "Master, how come you're in the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods? Do you need me to do something?"
"No need, just go back to your palace. You're busy with daily affairs, it's not easy to come out here," William said with a smile. "I'll find you for tea some other time. After you leave, make sure no one else bothers me."
Zeus nodded solemnly, "I will follow your command!"
After saying this, his gaze lingered on Alice for a moment, and he inquired, "Master, who is this lady?"
William introduced, "She's my wife, Alice Turner."
Alice's face turned red with joy upon hearing William's introduction, feeling acknowledged. She knew about William's past and understood how effortless it was for someone as powerful as him to attract women.
"Mrs. Turner, hello!" Zeus greeted Alice immediately after hearing William's introduction.
Alice, slightly uncomfortable with the title, quickly responded, "Hello."
"Master, then I won't disturb your rest," Zeus said with a childlike smile. "Master, I'll take my leave for today. Don't forget about our tea."
William nodded, and Zeus, knowing William's temperament, slowly turned and left, closing the door behind him and dispersing the crowd outside.
Alice, still smiling, asked, "Who was that just now? He seemed to have a good aura."
"If I told you he's Zeus, the king of gods, would you believe me?" William said nonchalantly.
Alice's smile gradually stiffened.
Zeus, the king of gods?
