Upon a brief thank you, the two men found themselves at the fat man's stall perusing the goods laid out."Come take a look, see if there's anything you fancy!" The fat cultivator's eyes curved into crescents whenever he smiled. It was easy to take a liking to him. "Fair prices guaranteed!"Caspian did not cast his sights onto the hemlock at first. He pretended to look around, scanning the merchandise of the stalls next to that one.There were antlers with stripes that glistened golden. No one knew what creature they came from. There were dry, shriveled fingers with pointy nails. Potted plants bore colorful flowers but with leaves that were completely withered.Caspian looked at all of them, reaching out to feel them from time to time if he wanted.The fat man seemed equally uncaring of Caspian's wandering.None of these things were of any value, after all. Caspian hardly gave them a second glance.Upon putting down a shiv, Caspian moved to pick up the hemlock.It sank with weig
"Impossible!" the fat cultivator cried out as he ground his teeth.The smile that was on his face long vanished.Since he was sniffed out, there was no need to pretend anymore."You won't make a loss out of the eight spirit stones you'll be able to profit. I do want to buy this," Caspian pointed at the hemlock, "I can tell it's been struck by thunder before. But, the part that’s been passed through the flames of lightning only makes up this much. That's barely a fifth of the wood."Caspian gestured accordingly, continuing. "Also, you've meddled with this part right here. I'd have to chop it off if I were to use it, which lowers the cost of it even further. This piece of hemlock is worth at most sixty spirit stones on the market, and now I'm buying it off you for eighty. I'm also doing this because you forged it pretty well, what do you think?"So, he saw through it. That was the first thought that came to the fat cultivator's head.He was confused at how a trick of such finesse c
”Haha, you finally showed up, you little brat.”Two figures, one fat and one thin stepped out to block Caspian and Maya’s way as soon as they stepped out of the floating market. “It’s you?” Caspian looked up. It was clear that his speculation of them working together was correct when he saw them standing side by side. “Do you know them?” Maya glanced at the two of them then looked back to Caspian, “they look like they come with ill will.”Caspian was deep in thought. Maya was a little confused. No one knew what Handsome thought about right now, but it seemed full of anticipation. Its gaze was directed at the two people standing in their way as it began to drool once again.“Is something up?” asked Caspian as he looked toward them.“Don’t pretend you don’t know!” The fat cultivator viciously spat a mouthful of phlegm to the ground. There was none of the warmth and friendliness that he showed earlier at the stall right then. There was only ferocity and resentment on his chubby
”Heavenly Spirit Realm!”“Master!”“Oh my gosh!”The sound of shocked exclamations rang out in the scene instantly. He must be a Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator if he could walk in the air!A tiny floating market was able to attract a Master of the Heavenly Spirit Realm! The news created a huge stir.As for the deaths of the Soul Devouring Evil Duo, everyone’s attitude was now strangely uniform. They were doomed to die for picking a fight with a Master.Caspian continued walking straight ahead until he was out of sight before he stopped. A moment later, Maya caught up to him.Maya could not stop herself from laughing as she covered her mouth when she thought of how shocked, frightened, and in awe all the spectators looked after seeing Caspian fight.Even though they were cultivators, they were both still a couple of teenagers. As soon as she thought of how Caspian astounded the crowd, Maya no longer thought that Walk on Air was a useless skill. It felt incomparably fun to us
The face of an old woman was reflected in the mirror. Snow-white hair, a face full of wrinkles, sunken cheeks, even her gaze looked old and tired. However, Caspian could confirm that the person in the mirror was him.“It’s a mask that can change one’s appearance!” Caspian’s first reaction was one of shock, but his eyes lit up in the next second. That was because he could see that not only could the mask change his expression, it could even change the look in his eyes and his aura.He knew that in the world, disguise skills existed. Even though the rumors could be far-fetched, Caspian was clear that disguise skills could alter one’s appearance but should not be able to change one’s aura or gaze. For example, one would be able to tell from a person’s eyes that he had the experience and maturity of a middle-aged person even though he looked very young. Also, if a person looked very old but had bright, clear eyes, he would easily attract the suspicion of other people.However, after p
Caspian had some understanding of what the nation’s official religion election encompassed and made some preparations for it. However, it was clear now that with such a precious magical item like the Thousand Cursed Mask, he could do even more and exceed people’s expectations by leaps and bounds.As he was deep in thought, Caspian was also keeping time. They were quite close to the border between Middle and North Earlington currently. According to their usual speed, they would reach the capital of Earlington of Efrax in another four to five days.“We’re going to be a little rushed for time,” mumbled Caspian. He initially planned to finish cultivating the Eye of Insight technique when they arrived at the capital. However, it seems as though there would not be time for that. When they arrived, there would be many matters for them to deal with. Forget about cultivating, there might not even be time to enter the Earring of Echo.Right now, he had all the materials he needed to cultiva
Even though he mastered the basics of the Eye of Insight, he still needed a rich imagination and huge amounts of practice if he wanted to use it proficiently. It was understandable that he would need a lot of practice. For example, through tens of thousands of times of hard practice, Caspian could now unleash the Water Shade technique in the blink of an eye.The Eye of Insight was no exception. If he wanted to be able to wield it with ease, he would need repeated training as well. Caspian would have no problem in terms of his perseverance in that aspect. As for a rich imagination, since Caspian wanted to use the technique for investigation or even spying purposes, he needed to place the eyeballs formed from flesh and blood in well-concealed places that would not affect its effectiveness.Imagine if someone saw an eyeball staring at him from a piece of wood close by. One did not need to be an idiot to know that there was something wrong with that eyeball. However, if the eye could
When they heard Noah’s words, Caspian and Maya both naturally felt a little proud as well. Heavenly Stars Sect was Earlington of Efrax top sect in memory inscription and formation casting. They were not tooting their own horn. It was a fact.At that moment, Caspian was uneasy because he thought of something else. He noticed a slight change in his own eyes after he mastered the Eye of Insight. Even though he could not specify the change, he could sense it frequently. For example, Maya did not notice anything strange in the middle of the sky. However, Caspian noticed something odd when they were still quite a distance away from the capital.At the time, he thought that he was mistaken. But he could see now that his senses were right. Apart from that, ever since he entered the city walls, he constantly felt as though there was an invisible string around him.The string connected a massive formation that surrounded the city walls and the area around it. It now seemed as though his sen
