Chapter 977: Chapter 976: Rafael Case is a Waste

"You ask about my cultivation level?" When he heard Yusuf Zuck’s question, Rafael Case’s face suddenly turned red, and a fleeting embarrassment flashed by. However, this man had obviously long since developed a hideously thick skin, and after stroking his beard, he coughed and said, "There’s no harm in telling you, I am about to step into the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal. Do you know what a Daluo Golden Immortal is?"

"This humble one does not know, please enlighten me, my lord!" Yusuf Zuck replied respectfully.

"Hmph, even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand, so you need not know, now scram and boil water. Where do all these needless words come from?" Rafael Case barked.

"Yes, yes, yes," replied Yusuf Zuck hastily as he then scurried off to the backyard.

Once Yusuf Zuck had left, Rafael Case chuckled proudly to himself: "To be at ease, carefree, and to have someone attend to me is indeed splendid. What a pity that for so many years, I’ve been all alone..."

Yusuf Zuck ran to the back of the house and indeed began to gather wood and boil water. At the same time, he felt somewhat gloomy. Khloe Miller had told him that the hierarchy in the Upper Realm was, from lowest to highest: Spirit Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal. And this Rafael Case was about to reach the realm of Daluo?

Having recently ascended, he was now a Spirit Immortal of the lowest grade. So even if he added all his various special abilities and divine skills, he might not necessarily be a match for Rafael Case.

Back in the Lower Realm, he could contend with the envoys of the immortals, but the envoys there must be completely different from the immortals here. Even if the envoys lifted their restraints, their strongest methods were not necessarily equivalent because different planes afforded different extents of power from the immortal essence they could manipulate.

Yusuf Zuck dared not act recklessly; not until he had ascertained Rafael Case’s methods could he make a move or plan further. He also wanted to observe what it looked like when immortals here displayed their divine abilities.

He could not enter into battle unprepared.

Once the water was boiled and the tea made, Yusuf Zuck also cleaned the dilapidated courtyard and tidied the dirty rooms, while Rafael Case hummed along, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Yusuf Zuck felt that this fellow was a bit like a poor man who’d found a nugget of gold but didn’t know how to flaunt it properly.

The first day passed with toiling work; he spent the night on a cool plank bed and didn’t even have a bite to eat because there was no rice, no flour, no oil, and no meat - but neither did Rafael Case.

However, as cultivators - let alone immortals - going without food was bearable, as the desire for food and taste could be suppressed.

The next morning, he got up early to boil water again, for Rafael Case wanted to bathe in hot water. Then, he was presented with more than twenty sets of clothes to wash, which were all quite smelly, not to mention a few pairs of shoes that stank unbearably.

But after assigning these chores, Rafael Case left.

No sooner had Rafael Case left than Yusuf Zuck immediately tossed the rotten shoes and clothes into the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, ordering a few powerful female demons to wash them, and he also stepped out of the courtyard.

Although Rafael Case had expressly forbidden Yusuf Zuck from leaving the courtyard five times over, Yusuf Zuck had no intention of listening to him.

He hadn’t gone far when he saw two servants dressed just like himself approaching.

"Hey, are you the new servant that Rafael Case took on? Come on, let’s go to your place and have a chat!" These two servants were overly familiar and, grabbing Yusuf Zuck, headed back to Rafael Case’s courtyard!

"Ah, it’s quite clean here, lad, you’ve got some bad luck!"

"Not too shabby, you really are hard up to serve him as a servant. You don’t know, Rafael Case has been so desperate for a servant that he’s been digging around everywhere, but none of us are willing to come attend to him."

"May I ask the venerable names of the two senior brothers?" Yusuf Zuck inquired, bowing with his fists clasped.

"My name is Boston Parham, a servant under the noble Master Gongsun!" said the servant who commented on Yusuf Zuck’s bad luck, returning the salute.

"I’m Roberto, a servant under Lord Ouyang!"

"Senior brothers, what exactly is Rafael Case’s status? He told me that he is the grandson of the Alchemy Dean, a man of high status. What’s going on with that?" Yusuf Zuck started to ask around. Rafael Case was clearly not well-regarded, but why?

"Pfft—" Both Boston Parham and Roberto couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Boston Parham said, "Well, what he said is not untrue. He is indeed the sixteenth disciple of the Alchemy Dean’s chief disciple, and by right, his status ought to be very high!"

Roberto chuckled and added, "But he’s just a useless blabbermouth. Sometimes, even we servants don’t give a damn about him!"

"Why?" Yusuf Zuck didn’t understand.

"Telling you won’t hurt; you’ve followed the wrong person anyway." Boston Parham said, "Rafael Case entered the Campbell Sect at nine years old. He originally had good potential, otherwise, the Alchemy Dean’s top disciple wouldn’t have taken him on as a disciple. But for some reason, his potential has gotten worse over time, and up to now, he is only a First Grade Golden Immortal. Can you guess what his rank as a Pill Master is?"

"He’s only Grade Two. If his master hadn’t been considerate of their past relationship, he would have been kicked out of the sect long ago. The guy has no drive, frequently makes mistakes, gets confused, and is quite the lecher—all improper."

"How old is he now? And how many ranks are there for a Pill Master?" Yusuf Zuck pressed on.

"How old? He’s said to have squandered his life away—how old do you think he is? When he was nine and entered the sect, he had a fellow townsman who joined at the same time, and that townsman is now an elder within the sect. As for the ranks of Pill Masters, there are a total of twelve. Not to make you laugh, but even we can almost manage to concoct Grade Two elixirs!"

"He’s pretty much a laughing stock, even though he has a high status, he’s just an old good-for-nothing!"

"Then he really is a good-for-nothing!" Yusuf Zuck commented, somewhat speechless.

"Haha." Boston Parham and Roberto burst into hearty laughter.

"Right, what’s your name? Heard you’ve ascended from the Cloud Rising Cultivation World too?" After their laughter subsided, they asked Yusuf Zuck.

"Yes, I have also ascended from the Cloud Rising Cultivation World. My name is Zayden Newton."

"Fellow countryman, indeed! Both of us also ascended from the Cloud Rising Cultivation World. If you need anything in the future, you can come to us. Although we hold low positions, we’ve been in the Campbell Sect for quite some years, know people from various departments, and do you wish to train?" Boston Parham raised his eyebrows as he spoke.

"Of course, I want to." Yusuf Zuck nodded.

"If you want to train, I have the most authentic Jimmie Heart Sutra here." Boston Parham said.

Roberto also said, "And I have the most authentic Jimmie Swords Decision."

"Oh? Really?" Yusuf Zuck narrowed his eyes; he began to understand why these two had come to find him.

"What would I need to exchange with the two senior brothers?" he asked calmly.

"I suppose you don’t have any treasures on you; Rafael Case took them all, didn’t he? Look, just give us your monthly allowance, and we’ll call it even. After all, we are from the same town, so you’re getting a deal!"

"But I haven’t received my monthly allowance yet!" Yusuf Zuck said with a hint of peculiarity.

"Give us your Waist Badge, and we’ll go get it for you. You trust us, right?" Boston Parham said with a smile.

"Okay, then I’ll trouble the two senior brothers." Yusuf Zuck didn’t hesitate for a moment and threw his Waist Badge to Boston Parham!

"That’s the spirit, then here’s the Jimmie Heart Sutra for you!" Boston Parham tossed a Jade Dishware over to him.

"Here’s the Jimmie Swords Decision for you as well. Take care. After we collect the allowance, we’ll return the Waist Badge to you, you can rest assured!" Roberto and Boston Parham got up to leave, and Yusuf Zuck saw them out.

Two pieces of Jade Dishware were left on the stone table. Yusuf Zuck picked them up and glanced at each. The Jimmie Heart Sutra was the same as the Jimmie Circle of Heaven Divine Ability, meant for cultivating qi, and the Jimmie Swords were a nine-form sword decision.

"Rafael Case, you’re really something, to be in such a sorry state. Only at the Early Golden Immortal Stage? Well, that makes things easier!" Yusuf Zuck squinted his eyes. Someone at the Early Golden Immortal Stage probably isn’t as skilled as Khloe Miller used to be!

"Right, I should ask Lovell Pena; he might know Khloe Miller’s cultivation level."
