Caspian knew that with Hadley's realm, there was no point in playing tricks. Conversely, Hadley might even think Caspian was a dishonest person. Hence, Caspian nodded truthfully."This technique might be useless for others, but it may be a miracle for me when the time comes."Hadley knew that Caspian would not do anything useless, so after a bit of pondering, he agreed. According to the Heavenly Stars Sect's sect rules, the disciples were not allowed to change the rewards of the sect at will. After all, if someone were to pursue it, the disciple's behavior would be a challenge to the sect's authority.Nonetheless, Caspian has already obtained Hadley's permission, and he also paid an additional price of 1,000 sect contribution points. Moreover, the technique he wanted to exchange was also an unpopular technique, which would not be as good to improve his strength as a Heaven Grade martial art. Thus, there was no objection.Consequently, Caspian smoothly received the jade slip that re
According to Maya, if Caspian went to the town's chamber of commerce, he might not be able to buy it within the limited time, but if he went to the floating market, he could even buy better materials.Caspian was persuaded by Maya's words as in Caspian's plan, the Eye of Insight could not only help him at that stage, but it would also be one of the means he relied on in the future. After all, he has led troops to fight, and he deeply understood how important it was to have a clue on everything around him. However, Caspian did not immediately agree with Maya because he had a problem and did not think of a proper solution.The problem was Little Candy.At that stage, the Mirage White Tiger naturally could not openly appear in public. However, feeding Little Candy would be a problem if Caspian was on the road with Maya. Little Candy could stay in the Earring of Echo for more than twenty days, but it had to eat after all. Moreover, Caspian could not let Little Candy out in front of Maya
Once they made their decision, Caspian and Maya joined the queue and waited for their turn to climb the mountain. It was not long until they reached the front of the queue.Everyone that lined up in front of them were mortals. To cultivators, 20 fedulings was nothing to throw a fuss over. However, it was a large sum to mortals.That was why the Simmons family, who set up the checkpoint to collect congratulatory gifts, could not escape the inevitable cries of displeasure and protest. There was even the occasional scuffle.Despite their wretchedness, the Simmons family were warriors, and there just happened to be a few of them standing guard at the checkpoint. Even if people were unhappy and went as far as to cause a ruckus, things would settle down very quickly.The Simmons warriors took one look at the little white pig sitting dignifiedly on Caspian's shoulder, and their eyes lit up."A cultivator!"It was obvious that the little white pig was a mythical monster, and anyone who w
The other Simmons men who charged toward Caspian and Maya before were now frozen in their tracks. Every one of their faces manifested shock, terror, and confusion.To the men, the change in Caspian's demeanor from his earlier composure was too great.He handed over the fedulings with such calm just moments before, but he stood with his foot on a man's face and demanded a ridiculous amount of spirit stones, which were much more valuable."You… You… You…"The man with the mole on his cheek stammered nervously. He wanted to say threatening words, but he could not even spit out a complete sentence at that moment."Stop mumbling and hand over the money!" Caspian snapped, then landed his hand on the man's cheek and sent him falling to the ground.The man felt like he was run into by a giant, raging beast. His vision went dark, and a wave of blood gushed up his throat. His entire body felt like all his bones were being crushed as he lay motionless on the ground.The remaining Simmons m
Caspian had detained members of the Simmons family, but Phillip Simmons arrived and immediately declared the whole matter a "misunderstanding".It was clear that Phillip was aware of what happened earlier. Otherwise, he would not tie up the man that Caspian released earlier and brought him back to where he was.Caspian threw Phillip a glance and said, "Did you bring the money?"Phillip was taken aback. He knew that the Simmons family members were in the wrong for what happened that day, but he did not expect to really have to pay a ransom for them.Phillip stayed silent. One of the men behind him stepped forward, furrowed his brows and said, "What happened today was the fault of our family members. We will ensure that those involved will be punished accordingly upon their return. We're willing to let go of how you attacked our family today, so don't expect to get any money out of us."The man spoke in a matter-of-fact way, as if not pursuing Caspian's attack on their men was a gre
Phillip's heart thumped frantically in his chest. He was filled with both fear and relief at the same time.He was afraid because, as he suspected, Caspian was of a much higher realm than himself. Phillip was wrong about Caspian. He figured that Caspian was only releasing the force of a second-stage cultivator of the Pulse Control Realm to throw him off, when he was actually far more advanced. There was no other way to explain how two cultivators of the same stage and realm could be so different in power.Phillip was relieved because he chose not to attack Caspian earlier. Otherwise, he would have been the one dismembered and decapitated.However, Phillip and his men's nightmare was far from over.At Caspian's signal, Maya released her own force."They're both Pulse Control Realm second-stage cultivators!"Dread washed over the Simmons men's faces. Phillip was the only one in their entire family who was a second-stage cultivator of the Pulse Control Realm, and he only advanced
Caspian beamed and said, "That's your equal cut.""Equal cut?" Maya was taken aback by Caspian's action and hurriedly tried to pass the bags back to Caspian. "No, I can't take this."An equal cut of 100,000 fedulings and 720 spirit stones meant that she would have 50,000 fedulings and over 300 spirit stones. To an outer disciple like Maya, this was a shocking amount of money. It would be impossible not to feel overwhelmed by it.However, Maya knew that she played no part in what happened earlier. In other words, Caspian would have easily terrorized and extorted the Simmons men without her presence. Now that Caspian was giving her half of his loot, her first reaction was to decline his offer because she did not lift a finger."Both of us worked for it. Of course you'd get your share," Caspian said, then shoved the bags back into Maya's arms.Maya could not argue with Caspian, and decided to accept the money."What about me?" Handsome chirped softly into Caspian's ear. "I might no
Ozul was spiteful for a reason.He used to have a delicate and feminine feature, and he was always proud of it.Nothing was more precious to him other than his looks.However, his face was heavily disfigured by the bomb that was set up by Caspian. Even though he managed to recover physically, thanks to his powerful abilities as a capable cultivator; the explosion did cause him to suffer a great deal. His meridian was harmed, causing his face unable to recover fully.Half of Ozul’s cheeks were rough like orange skin.For him, having a mutilated face was worse than death itself.He made an oath to seek vengeance on the disciples of Heavenly Stars Sect, making sure they never see the light of day ever again.Standing next to Ozul was Liliana. She looked calm, but a frozen rage pierced through her eyes, sending chills down one’s spine.The damage brought by Caspian and Xander upon Ozul was mostly surface level. Lilian on the other hand, woke up with excruciating pain every night.
