LOGINFor Ruby and Penny, Vera's statement was as enlightening as it cleared doubts or embarrassment they felt inside.In the end, the greatest gift a cultivator could give another cultivator wasn't mystic pills, spirit stones, or weapons, but cultivation manuals.It was basically the principle of 'Teach a man to fish', and the fact that Charlie wasn't holding out on them on anything—whether it was mystic pills, spirit stones, or cultivation manuals, made them understand one thing.There was just no point in refusing Charlie's generosity, and using his gifts to the best of their ability was the only proper way to repay that kindness.Hence, Ruby stood up first and bowed her head at Charlie in gratitude. "Thank you for taking such good care of us, Mr. Wade. I vow to dedicate my life to your service!""It's the same for me!" Penny nodded.Their gratitude was clear as day, and Charlie smiled. "That's enough courtesy talk. Anyway, you shall both stay here, and do your best to cultivate wit
Charlie smiled and nodded. While he believed that mastering the incantation to activate the portals was as amusing as it was practical, he wasn't in a rush.The subterranean city filled with Reiki already surprised him plenty. Whether it was the ring with a void storage or the portal connected to different corners of the world, all of it was there and waiting for him to use them to their maximum potential.Hence, he told the three women, "Wait here."He returned to his room, summoning four chicken-egg-sized spirit stones into his palm with just a thought.Then, returning to the women's room, he handed Ruby and Penny the spirit stones. "Keep these. They are spirit stones—you can absorb the Reiki from one, and save the other."Both Rub and Penny were left gaping.They had never seen spirit stones, but hearing Charlie telling what those spirit stones were immediately prompted them to reach out through Reiki and see if the pebbles really were spirit stones.Naturally, they were bo
"Spirit stones?!"Both Ruby and Penny were stunned just hearing the world, with Ruby exclaiming, "Well, the Qing Eliminating Society does have a permanent bounty on those. Anyone who finds it and hands it over to Fleur will be rewarded with cultivating pills, cultivation manuals or even promotions within the Qing Eliminating Society… but most never ever encountered one, including myself."Penny nodded in agreement too. "That's right—in the years I've spent in the Qing Eliminating Society, there's always rewards put on offer for bringing Fleur spirit stones. But forget getting one… I've never seen one myself.""So any spirit stone found goes straight to Fleur?" Charlie asked in curiosity. "Yes, as it's to be handed to one's superior immediately," Ruby replied, nodding. "It's always the top in the Qing Eliminating Society's cultivation resource priority list, and even the military governorates must report to headquarters immediately should there be any found."Charlie was surprised
Ruby and Penny noticed Charlie too, and delightedly rushed to the door with Vera.They felt both shock and pain seeing Charlie's condition, as they didn't expect that he would end up so bruised and battered.His clothes were shredded and barely strips dangling over his body, though it did cover the front and his privates.Vera quickly held his hand, asking worriedly, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?""Just a little," Charlie replied, smiling. "But mostly healed, although the clothes are a problem."Vera's pain was obvious on her face, and she squeezed his hand. "Come inside—I'll get a bath ready and some fresh clothes."Charlie nodded. "Thanks, Ms. Lavor.""You're always welcome," Vera replied, and hurried to the bathroom.Perhaps because Norway had fewer research crew members, they had actual bathtubs instead of showers, as they do at research bases with larger teams. Charlie knew that he was a mess, but it didn't matter and spent his time soaking in the bath and cleaning up,
However, the negative promotion kept eating at Fleur. It was not as if she didn't trust Elder Barlin's abilities, but her luck always failed her whenever she came up against her mystery foe, and it was always she who lost in what few run-ins they had.So now it wasn't just the four earls or their bases being uprooted one after the other… All the scholars and members she had sent to find out anything they could still couldn't find a thing!That was why, knowing that Barlin had been fighting at the South Pole, Fleur immediately presumed things didn't look good for Barlin.She didn't even have any idea how many foes she actually had, but she knew that Barlin had been alone when he traveled to the South Pole, and then was almost hunted down by the Americans.That meant he was already in dire straits, and wouldn't stand a chance fighting a formidable cultivator on top of that.That was when Tarlon pointed out, "My Lord, the fact that Barlin traveled alone to the South Pole and mind-b
Most importantly, the fact that Vera's ring didn't teleport Charlie to her side meant he had won, and the thought relieved her right then.Smiling in embarrassment, she explained, "No, I was just feeling a little headache, but I'm better now. We should just stay here and wait for Mr. Wade."Seeing that she was calm, Ruby was relieved and assured her, "There's no reason to worry. Mr. Wade is a great man, and I'm sure he's not in any trouble.""Yes," Vera smiled and nodded. "He'd return to us safely.-Meanwhile, at the Qing Eliminating Society headquarters, Tarlon rushed to Fleur's chambers, entering when he had permission and reporting urgently, "My lord, there's been a situation!"Fleur frowned. "What is it? What's so urgent?""Please take a look at this…" Tarlon said respectfully, handing over a specialized cellphone.Fleur took it skeptically and played the video that was loaded—the news of lightning sighted in deep Antarctica, and her brow creased further and warily. "Forge
Lady Wilson was infuriated, but at this moment, she would not dare to retaliate even if she had the nerve.Donald’s men said in a cold voice, “We are here today on Mr. Webb’s order to empty all the assets in this villa. According to Mr. Webb, other than the hard decorations and large pieces of furnit
Therefore, he must help Yule solve the problem, and only then could he leave Eastcliff and return to Aurous. Seeing that Yule agreed to his request, he sighed with relief, picked up the wine glass and exclaimed, “Come, Charlie. Let’s have a toast!” Charlie nodded and clinked glasses with him
After the plane landed, Charlie and Loreen got off the plane together.As Charlie did not have any luggage checked in, he did not have to wait to pick up his luggage. However, since Loreen was a big beauty after all, she usually brought a lot of clothes, cosmetics, and skin care products with her whe
Seeing that Machi was panicking, the inspector hurriedly said, “Please recall carefully whether you have offended anyone recently. Who would do this to you unless there is deep hatred?”Then, he reminded him, “Please think... is there anyone trying to kill you? Or are you trying to kill anyone?”The f
