Severin allowed the hall masters to leave once he was done giving them instructions. After they left, he returned to his room, took out Ronnie's spatial ring, and began to check its contents.A glance inside the ring left him with much to rejoice. Apart from a first-grade spiritual weapon known as the Fish-Gut Sword, there were dozens of spiritual herbs contained within. Those spiritual herbs were either second-grade high-rank or third-grade low-rank, and many of them were suitable for alchemical purposes.He then perused the technique manuals within and concluded that there was no point in learning any of them. The techniques were not very strong, and it would be very troublesome if he used techniques and ended up being recognized by the Stormy Moon Sect.In the end, he casually picked up an old yellowed book in the corner and read through it. He did not think much of it at first, but he was somewhat overjoyed after giving it a more careful read. To his surprise, the book contained
"What's this? Is it a book?"Diane took the somewhat yellowed ancient book, opened it, and looked at it. "Phoenix Derivation Method? Sun-grade high-rank exercises?!" Her pupils dilated, and a look of excitement soon appeared on her face."Wow! This is amazing, honey!" she exclaimed. I didn't think this would be a technique manual, much less a Sun-grade high-rank one. Wendy and the others told me that techniques are divided into four different grades of Soil, Sky, Sun, and Star. Ordinary unaffiliated practitioners generally train with Soil-grade methods, while some of the more powerful families can use Sky-grade methods. Sky-grade methods and techniques are even rarer, and the only people who are lucky enough to have them are usually sect leaders. Star-grade methods are the rarest of them all, and very few people have the privilege of laying eyes on them!"Diane then paused for a moment and asked Severin, "Isn't this a very precious technique? Where did you get it?"Severin smiled.
At that moment, Sheila called her father Zachariah beside the nearby rockery.As soon as Zachariah answered the phone, he could not resist saying to her, "Took you long enough to call me, Sheila. How are things there? Have you returned from Skystream City?"Sheila nodded. "We've been back for several days now, and we met a lot of important people there too."Zachariah cleared his throat. "None of that's important! Let's just get straight to the point." Zachariah said. He then said to her, "How are you getting along with Severin? Please don't tell me that you didn't make any progress even after you were there for so long."His question left Sheila feeling a wave of joy, and she answered excitedly, "I'm calling you because I wanted to talk to you about this. Severin finally accepted me, and I'll be his woman from now on. Even Selene calls me Mommy Sheila now!""Really?" it had been days since he last heard any updates from Sheila, and Zachariah did not put his hopes too high on her
The next morning, Severin set off for Wymount City alone because he felt that it would be too troublesome to bring too many people with him.He soon arrived at Wymount Airport and disembarked from the plane with a smile.Wymount City was considered to be a relatively prosperous city in the West County, and although it was not as prosperous as South Link City, they had prospered at about the same level as each other."Ugh! Aren't the bodyguards supposed to be picking me up right about now? Why aren't they here yet?" A woman complained after looking all around her. She was tall, fashionably dressed, and wore shades.At that moment, a black Audi parked beside her, and a few men in suits came down to greet her. "We're here to pick you up, Miss Chelsea. Hop on in.""Are you supposed to be my family's bodyguards? Why haven't I seen any of you before? I thought Yancy was the one who was going to pick me up?" there was a bit of suspicion in Chelsea's expression because she had never seen an
"Save me, handsome. Please! I'll give you a hundred and fifty thousand! If that's not enough, I'll give you five times more than that!"Chelsea felt as if she had seen a glimmer of hope when she saw Severin coming to stop the men."Hehe, you think I can't go up against you? Why don't you try me, then?" Severin could not be bothered to waste his breath with the man and walked over slowly."I didn't think there'd still be people who would risk their lives for money!" The man gritted his teeth, walked toward Severin in two big strides, and said to the three bodyguards behind him. "Easy, boys. We still have time to break this fool's legs and leave with the woman!""What! Break some legs, you say?" Severin was taken aback for a moment, but he soon smiled and said, "That's a pretty good suggestion."Severin then rushed over in a flash."What the hell?!" The man had a decent attainment, and he had already reached the attainment of a level eight profound master despite being just a bodyg
The way Chelsea saw it, Severin was only willing to help her because of the money. However, Severin smiled subtly and said, "I don't want your money, Miss. I just hope you'll pay more attention to your safety. I didn't help you simply for the sake of money.""You weren't doing it for the money?" Chelsea looked at Severin in surprise. Seven-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars was no small amount, and she did not expect that Severin would refuse it outright."If I was really in it for the money, I wouldn't have bothered to save you at all. I don't need that kind of money!" Severin chuckled.Chelsea's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, 'Perhaps he was doing it to win my favor instead? Perhaps the bodyguards who kidnapped me were in on the act with him ad they deliberately staged a scene so that I would owe him a favor?'It was normal for Chelsea to think that way because she of her high status as in Wymount City. The number of rich young men who tried to win her heart co
When Severin heard that, he merely smiled and said, "It's pretty simple when you think about it. He probably knows that the people who ordered him to kidnap you would kill him if he reveals everything to you, so he's bound to die either way.""By the way," Chelsea said curiously. "If you don't have a place to stay, then does that mean you're not from around here?""Yes. I'm here in search of a certain faction. There are certain matters that I wish to talk to them about." Upon remembering his purpose there, Severin decided to ask Chelsea, "By the way, Miss Chelsea, I wonder if you've heard of an organization called Canis Hall? It'd save me a lot of trouble if you know who they are."Chelsea thought over the name for a while and finally shook her head. "I'm sorry, Severin. That name doesn't ring a bell. Although my family is quite well-off, we're only considered a third-tier family here in Wymount City. I know some families quite well, and that includes the mayor, but I don't know the
"Oh!" Richard was stunned for a moment. He found Severin's request a little strange. Rather than accepting several hundred thousand, Severin's request was to stay at his place for a few days. He looked Severin from head to toe and finally nodded in agreement. "No problem!""I came here to find an organization called Canis Hall," Severin said. "I can leave if you have any information about them or know where to find them. I myself am not too sure how long I will stay in Wymount City!"Severin smiled wryly and asked Richard again, "Have you heard of them? Or better yet, do you know them?""Canis… Hall?" Richard seemed a little confused when he heard that. "Do you spell it like anus… but with a C?"Severin's expression became a little stiff and he finally explain to them. "Replace the 'U' with an 'I'. C-A-N-I-S. The Latin word for dog."The two elders behind him could not hold their laughter back anymore and began cackling like madmen."Control yourselves!" Although Richard wanted t
