Chapter 569: 310 “Power of Merit” and “Old Lee is the Biggest Leak” (Subscription Request)_1
A faint smile also emerged on his face.
They’ve really caught up.
The speed is decent, just don’t know which Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Jade Cauldron Immortal Sect is coming.
Indeed, the allure of Deity Transformation stage treasures is significant.
In the next moment, Old Lee’s body, lying not far from Milton Cheney, trembled slightly.
Boom!
Moments later, the corpse exploded completely into a cloud of blood mist.
The air was filled with a strong scent of blood, but with a gust of wind, the bloody smell was gone without a trace.
And the figure of Milton Cheney had long vanished from this place.
Being targeted was not something Milton Cheney feared, as he was not just an average mid-Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Moreover, he had come to this Region controlled by the Jade Cauldron Immortal Sect precisely to exchange for some resources.
Although this place was the best site for exchanging cultivation resources, it wasn’t the only one.
Milton Cheney had already received gains that exceeded his expectations, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he got them for nothing.
Just the Blazing Flame Crystal Stone with a fire attribute of a hundred thousand years alone could save him thousands of years of cultivation time.
As time slowly passed, after ten breaths.
The space where Milton Cheney had disappeared rippled slightly, and two figures in emerald green robes appeared there.
“Elder Samuel, thank you for your trouble.”
One of the figures, who looked somewhat younger, spoke with a solemn expression.
As soon as his voice fell, the Elder Samuel he referred to simply nodded slightly.
In the next moment, with a flash in his hand, a small mirror appeared in Elder Samuel’s palm.
The moment the mirror appeared, even the younger man’s eyes flashed with fervor.
But that was just for an instant; the fervor deep in his eyes disappeared without a trace.
Elder Samuel’s Spiritual Power surged, and the small mirror automatically floated mid-air, its surface trembling slightly and then shining out a dazzling light.
It was in that instant that Elder Samuel’s usually undisturbed face showed a hint of shock.
Then he shook his head gently and retracted the floating mirror back into the air.
“Unable to trace back, the target is at least at mid-Nascent Soul stage, and there’s even a thirty percent chance it’s at late Nascent Soul or Nascent Soul Great Perfection,” Elder Samuel explained in a soft voice.
Although he wasn’t a direct disciple of the orthodox Jade Cauldron True Sect, he was still one of their offered Cultivators.
Cultivators like him, who were offered for their Nascent Soul, were very precious even within the Jade Cauldron True Sect itself.
But even so, they were merely early Nascent Soul stage at best.
Only once someone truly became a Nascent Soul could they understand just how difficult the cultivation among Nascent Souls was.
It could be said that unless one had the Heavenly Spiritual Root, the path of cultivation almost reached its end the moment one became a Nascent Soul.
Elder Samuel wasn’t of the Heavenly Spiritual Root; he wasn’t even of the Earth Spiritual Root.
The fact that he could cultivate to Nascent Soul stage was largely due to the treasure he’d obtained, the Retrospective Mirror.
Hearing Elder Samuel’s words, a flash of disappointment crossed the eyes of the younger Cultivator.
He wasn’t foolish, or rather, there wasn’t a fool among the main disciples of the big Sects or scions of major Families in the Cultivation Realm.
It wouldn’t be wise to offend a potential late Nascent Soul stage powerhouse over an uncertain treasure.
Thus, Christopher Morgan was already ready to give up.
“It’s a pity. If that senior could sell the Blazing Flame Crystal, perhaps I would really be able to break into Nascent Soul,” Christopher Morgan said somewhat regretfully.
Since he was prepared to give up, there was no need to continue looking for that senior.
Better save themselves from misunderstandings and unnecessary trouble.
What’s more, ever since he first knew about the incident in their market space, he had had no intention of seizing the treasure.
The reason he requested Elder Samuel’s assistance was merely to find that senior.
He had intended to purchase the Blazing Flame Crystal from that senior’s hands.
But now there was no chance.
After all, it seemed that the senior had no intention of meeting with them.
In the Cultivation Realm, even late Nascent Soul stage cultivators seldom attacked and robbed cultivators who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage.
Because it’s simple.
As long as Nascent Soul Cultivators aren’t dead and their lifespan hasn’t ended, they can reconstruct their bodies regardless of their Realm.
If the assassination attempt fails, then the Families and Sects underneath them will suffer.
After all, Nascent Souls in the late stage can easily block those in the early stage, but Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core cultivators certainly cannot.
But if it were Milton Cheney, he wouldn’t care about these concerns.
Because the Cultivation Method he practiced contained techniques to seal Nascent Souls.
Of course, if other Nascent Souls did not provoke Milton Cheney first, then naturally, he would not make a move either.
It’s not about the so-called principle of not offending others if they do not offend him; it’s simply because Milton Cheney dislikes trouble.
After all, in this World, those who can cultivate to higher Realms usually have some background and power to some extent.
If one kills without a good reason, flies will definitely swarm in never-ending waves.
This World places great importance on Sects and Families.
The death of a Sect mate or a family member means the same.
“Let’s go, Elder Samuel. Since we can’t find him, others will likely have even less chance,” Christopher Morgan said.
“Since the senior doesn’t wish to see us, then we shall not disturb his peace.”
Having said that, Christopher Morgan turned around and left.
But what he did not see was that Elder Samuel’s gaze behind him was flickering incessantly at that moment.
