However, the Mysterious Maiden Method was unique and the ancestor of the Wolfs did not specify the method's level since it was made for women. However, anything that was kept by the Wolfs' ancestors would not be under the level of Advanced Power."I think it's Advanced Power," Cynthia muttered. Soon, her expression darkened, "oh, no. Leon, my true energy is boiling within me. I think I'm close to a breakthrough.""What? Take the Energy Nurturing Pill now and see if you can get to the next level, then!" Shocked, Leon immediately took out an Energy Nurturing Pill and handed it to Cynthia.The pill melted as soon as it entered the mouth and transformed into a force of pure energy.Cynthia focused on merging her true energy with the pill's pure energy, before attempting to move toward the next power level.Sometime later, she jolted in shock following a "Baam!" as the true energy within her burst and her power level rose from the Intermediate Innate State to the Advanced Innate State.
"Am I dreaming?" Cynthia flushed in excitement and was completely stunned.An Absolute Method was ten times rarer than a Power Method and was considered a treasure to all martial artists.She did not expect to be lucky enough to be exposed to it, let alone have the chance to study it.It was a miracle!She thought back to how she was skeptical and almost looked down on the Mysterious Maiden Method, she blushed in embarrassment once she realized how foolish she was. Cynthia was glad that Leon insisted that she tried, or she would have regretted her actions for the rest of her life."Cynthia, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Seeing how Cynthia stood still, Leon waved his hand in front of her eyes in an attempt to draw her attention."I- Leon, I love you to death!" Cynthia threw herself into his arms and pressed her lips against his.Caught by surprise, Leon was able to move again."What are you?" He widened his eyes in disbelief as his mind went blank at the warm sensation on his
Eventually, Leon started to forget about the fact that he was kissed. Though he did not completely forget about it, it was far too embarrassing for him and he did not know what to say, so he could only let it go.Cynthia was pleased that Leon did not protest and poked her tongue out mischievously.She was with Leon every single day and he seemed to have gotten used to gestures of intimacy from time to time, and she was happy with it.She knew that Leon did not forget about Iris yet, but with persistence, she knew that she would replace Iris at some point."By the way, I hope that you can keep the Mysterious Maiden Method a secret, Cynthia. You must not tell anyone!" Leon deadpanned.Absolute Methods was one of the most precious tools to martial artists and if others found out that Leon had access to it, they would kill to obtain it. As a martial artist who merely reached the Foundation Phase, Leon would never be able to defend himself."Okay, I get it. Don't worry. This is our se
Quinton explained the reason he called. Though he knew that the car plates might be fake, he had no other options and provided the plate numbers to Leon, hoping that he and the Shears would find something hopeful."Sure, I'll try my best," Leon agreed and nodded his head, before reaching for a piece of paper and a pen to note down the car plate numbers.After the call ended, Cynthia asked, "Leon, what's going on? Why do you look so serious? What happened?""Well," Leon sighed and explained how Quinton was ambushed."What? That happened?!" Shocked, Cynthia gaped as she did not expect something like that to happen, not to mention the fact that the attackers only took three Pure Energy Pills instead of going after the Energy Nurturing Pills that were worth much more.'This is so weird!' she thought to herself, 'I don't understand what's going on!'"Cynthia, you're a Shear and know all the families in Springfield City way better than I do. Who do you suspect to be behind this ambush?
Most ordinary families feared the kings and did not dare to compete with them, which put the kings in powerful positions."Cynthia, who do you think attacked Quinton out of all these suspects?" Leon asked, already having a general theory of his own."Well, you can already rule the Shears, the Fields, the Collins, and the Youngs all have reasons to do it to spite you! You're close with the Southern King and since the Hunts are our business partners, he definitely won't attack them behind your back," Cynthia analyzed the situation."Hm, you're right. That leaves the Northern King, the Fields, the Collins, and the Youngs." Leon nodded, feeling slightly uncomfortable when he mentioned the Youngs."The Fields are the Shears' nemesis and have been on your case since some time ago. Naturally, they wouldn't want our partnership with the Hunts to go well, so I think that they are most likely the culprit! As for the Northern King, he has always been known for his ruthlessness and viciousness
Leon ordered."Yes, Mister Wolf." Miss White snuck a glance at Leon.In the past, most employees thought that Leon was Cynthia's assistant, and no one knew that he was the chairman of Cynthion Group until Leon admitted to it during the sales drive.Leon was young and wealthy with a handsome look, so it was predictable that he would soon become the most eligible bachelor in the company."Miss White, what's wrong? Is there anything else?" Seeing how Miss White did not move, Cynthia questioned in confusion."Oh, nothing," She sobered and blushed, before exiting the room."Cynthia, do you want to come with me to see these two martial artists?" Leon asked."Yeah, sure. Let's hope they aren't too weak." Cynthia nodded.Leon was in desperate need to recruit powerful martial artists to build his very own army and anyone at the power level below the Initial Innate State would not be of use to him, so he needed martial artists in the Intermediate Innate State or higher; naturally, martia
Since it was harvested for quite some time, the purple fruit looked like ordinary dried fruit."Fairy Fruit? I've never heard of it before!" Cynthia scowled.The Shears were the biggest supplier of medicine and she practically knew countless plants that held medical properties, yet she never saw or heard of the Fairy Fruit."Well," Spencer was instantly rendered speechless.Both Spencer and Stephen were martial artists and professional treasure hunters, a rare profession that focused on collecting rare specimens in nature.Some treasure hunters specialized in searching for rare stones and some searched specifically for rare trees; some specialized in searching for Panax and other rare plants with medical properties in the rivers and mountains.Spencer and Stephen were treasure hunters of the last category and knew more rare plants than ordinary people.They found the Fairy Fruit in a forest after a lot of hard work. The two knew that it was a rare fruit, but did not know exactly
"Hang on!" Leon, who was quiet the entire time, spoke out. Like Cynthia, he never heard of the Fairy Fruit before as well.He remained silent because he was searching through all the recipes left by Wolf's ancestor to see if he could find any information about the Fairy Fruit, and he managed to find it.The Fairy Fruit was an extremely rare natural medication that was even harder to come by than wild Panax or fleeceflower root, and its value rivaled that of a five-hundred-year-old wild Panax.According to the records left by the Wolf's ancestor, the Fairy Fruit could be used to produce the Dragon Pill, a unique alchemical pill that could stimulate the potential of the human body to increase its power for some time.It worked for both sage art practitioners and martial artists and once they consumed a Dragon Pill, their power level would rise for one level for one to two hours. The only drawback was that once the effect faded, the person would become extremely weak and would not rec
