A cultivator did not usually care much about money, but they did care about precious ancient treasure. That was much, much harder to find compared to money. Cultivation methods, weapons, pills, and antidotes. Anything of that sort was important to a cultivator. Wilbur raised his brows. Who would have thought that something would actually come out of scaring the guy? He fell silent for a brief moment before saying, "Go on. I'm listening." Sensing Wilbur's interest, Skyler crawled up slowly and put on a mysterious expression. "I stumbled across these ancient remains a while back when I went to Jarlinville, but it was sealed shut with a powerful spell. I was afraid I might be getting myself in trouble, so I didn't go in. However, I'm sure you'll be able to do so since you're so powerful! Judging from the spell sealing it shut, I'm sure it's hiding something pretty good." "Heh. You didn't go in, or you weren't able to?" Wilbur mocked. Skyler flushed, saying nothing further. W
Of course, there was no way Faye was convinced. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking up at the ceiling. Wilbur resigned to taking out the Marrow Cleansing Pill, waving it in front of Faye. "Look, I've got a present for you." "What is it?" Faye's curiosity was piqued, and she glanced at the pill. Wilbur said, "This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill. I got it just for you. Once you take it, I'll channel spirit energy into your body and you'll be able to start cultivating as a cultivator." "Really?" Faye was overjoyed. Ever since Faye had witnessed just what Wilbur was capable of, she had fantasized about what it would be like to have powers like his. She knew, however, that she would never have such a chance. However, upon seeing Faron and Elsa becoming cultivators too, frustration began to bubble up within her again. Faye was not actually mad about Wilbur helping Sammy. Faye knew that she would never be able to control Wilbur, and she was happy enough that Wilb
Faron chuckled. "It's a very misleading scene to walk into." "Exactly, Miss Yves. Did you consent to this? If you didn't, I can get the authorities involved in this," Elsa said seriously. Wilbur's expression darkened. "Still going, I see." Faye covered her body with Faron's shirt and blushed. "Cut it out, you guys. I'm going to take a shower." She got up and fled at top speed. Elsa snorted. "Yeah, she definitely could use a shower." "Not bad, dude! You must be spent, man," Faron piped up. Wilbur glared at the both of them. "I was using the Marrow Cleansing Pill to channel spirit energy into Faye. What are you two trying to imply?" "Oh, it's nothing. We just thought we'd come to see you since we haven't in a few days. We didn't expect to walk into something so… intense," Elsa giggled. Wilbur's expression was ashen. "Do you need anything? Get lost if you don't." "Nope, nothing needed! We'll be on our way to work, then." Faron turned to leave, whistling playfully. Elsa
The golden hourglass turned over, and there were only ten grace points left in there. The Builder Pill appeared in front of Wilbur. He took one last wistful glance at the Emperor's Whisper and left the demiplane with the pill in his hand. Noticing that it was still early, he took the pill at once and began to meditate. As time passed, Wilbur's body lit up with a myriad of colors as a powerful energy filled his room. The colorful light finally faded during the evening, and Wilbur slowly opened his eyes. Overjoyed, he realized that he had leveled up. After all those years, he was still stuck at the first stage of the Dragon's Chant. He had meditated tirelessly, and with the help of the Builder Pill, he had broken through to the second stage. Wilbur could clearly feel that his Dragon Crystal had doubled in size. That meant that he would be able to store even more spirit energy. On top of that, Wilbur was also able to cast some low to mid-level spells without even mutteri
He understood at last that it was not just an ordinary gathering. Wilbur sat down beside Nancy, glancing at Reggie. "Mister Class President, I thought this was a classmates' gathering. I don't think I know this man here. Was he in our class?" "Oh, the other classmates couldn't make it. This here is Mister Wade Lynch, from Youthful Travel Agency. He happened to have the day off, so I invited him to come. Mister Lynch's travel agency has over ten branches nationwide. It's worth several hundred million dollars! I was lucky enough to be hired as the general manager of the Seechertown branch, so please don't hesitate to hit me up if you're planning any vacations in the future." Reggie was showering him with praise. The other three classmates smiled joyously, chatting away with Mister Lynch. Everyone else was just a regular white-collar worker, and a few hundred million dollars sounded like an astronomical sum to them. Anyone would want to get to know someone like Wade. Nancy cou
Wade's gaze flashed with annoyance, but it was quickly replaced with a smile as he turned to look at Wilbur instead. "What should I call you, sir?" "My last name's Penn," Wilbur said. Wade nodded. "Mister Penn, it's a pleasure to meet you. May I please ask what you do for work?" "I'm unemployed." "Still haven't found a job yet, Wilbur?" Rainie Lark, one of the classmates laughed. Wilbur smiled. "Yeah, not much I could do about it." The other classmates giggled. Although they were not really mocking him, it was clear they did not think much of him at all. Nancy sighed to herself. These girls would lose their minds if they knew who Wilbur really was. Things had been so simple back then. Their friendship used to be so pure. Everyone seemed to have changed ever since entering society, and some people had changed more than Nancy could understand. Just then, Reggie raised his glass and said, "Guys, let's drink to Mister Lynch." The three girls raised their glasses, and
Reggie panicked at those words. After all, Wade was his boss. Reggie's entire future was pretty much in the palm of the man's hand. He asked Reggie out to this gathering in hopes of climbing the ranks, only for things to work against him. Now that Wade was angry, Reggie might even get in trouble. Reggie leaned closer to Nancy and whispered, "Nancy, can you please do this for me? I'm going to lose my job if Mister Lynch is upset." Nancy sighed and nodded. It was undeniable that they had been classmates, and she felt obligated to help. "Wilbur's coming too, then. I'm not going if he isn't." Nancy could tell that something was off, but she felt like there was nothing she had to be afraid of as long as Wilbur was with her. Reggie looked at Wilbur desperately. Wilbur shook his head helplessly and said, "Sure, let's all go and have some fun." He could not find it in him to turn Nancy down. Reggie perked up at once. "Alright, let's go! Golf is a great sport. It'll be good for
It was the girls' first time trying golf too, and they were more than happy to be taught how. Reggie continued to shower them with praise, and Wade had quite a bit of fun with the three girls. Wilbur and Nancy remained on the cart, chatting every now and then. Neither of them paid the others any mind. Soon, Wade swung particularly hard and shot the ball far into the distance. Everyone else boarded the cart, and the caddy took off toward where the ball had landed. Just then, Wade said to Nancy, "Why don't you try too? It'll be good for your body." "I'm sorry, I don't know how to play either," Nancy said politely. Wade chuckled. "No worries! I'm right here to teach you." "That's fine," Nancy turned him down. However, Wade was quite visibly annoyed. He had his eyes on Nancy, but she had spent the entire evening with Wilbur and hardly paid him any attention. Very soon, the caddy stopped where the ball had landed. Wade hopped off and approached Nancy, reaching out to gra
