Chapter 148: Chapter 146: This is Going to Collapse My Dao Heart (Part 1)_1

Chief Flag felt like he had gotten the short end of the stick, so he thought about it and picked up the leader’s soul, urging the Communication Talisman: "Send for help from our country."

In the remote and far-off southern corner of the continent, in a seaside bamboo palace, the dark-skinned and short Young Master of the Nanni Nation had already settled down to rest. Suddenly, a Communication Talisman began to vibrate.

The Young Master muttered in dissatisfaction in the Nanni language, opened the talisman, and heard one of his most trusted subordinates, Spencer Aiden, who had been sent to the Wood Dynasty to retrieve the Mysterious Mechanism Seed. Spencer spoke in an excited tone, quickly saying a long string of words.

The Young Master listened closely - Spencer told him that the Wood Dynasty’s bureaucracy was greedy and corrupt, the people were lazy and weak, and the country had reached its dying days. The fate of this land would belong to the great Nanni Nation.

He had already contacted the Mountain Master and, with his introduction, got to know many high-ranking officials in the Wood Dynasty who were willing to provide various "conveniences" for the Nanni nation.

However, these people demanded bribes that matched their status. For the sake of the future of the entire Nanni Nation, the Young Master had to send a batch of treasures for him to bribe these greedy officials of the Wood Dynasty.

For instance, the Dragon Saliva Secret Fragrance of the Nanni Nation, known as the "Grace of the Sea God," the saber teeth of the Country-protecting Tiger, a unique demon beast from the Nanni Nation, and the most precious six-color gemstones. These would all make great "gifts" to buy off the corrupt officials of the Wood Dynasty.

The Young Master had been sleeping in a daze, but now he was fully awake. He repeatedly confirmed with Spencer Aiden: "Can these high-ranking officials provide us with intelligence?"

"Are they willing to betray their own country?"

"Can they even help us destroy the defensive arrays of the main cities?"

Spencer Aiden gave affirmative answers in succession: "Yes, they are willing. They have no proper beliefs at all. As long as the price is right, they will sell anything!"

Excited and with an elated expression, the Young Master even forgot to ask about the Mysterious Mechanism Seed.

"Wonderful, Spencer Aiden! I will immediately dispatch Sharon. She will take the treasures you need. Make sure to maintain a firm relationship with these high-ranking officials!"

"Young Master, you must act quickly. According to my judgment, we are not the only ones wanting to replace the old and frail Wood Dynasty."

"Don’t worry, Spencer Aiden." The young master was full of ambition. As long as he accomplished this task, the position of the King would never fall into the hands of others!

Owen Bertram satisfiedly took back the Communication Talisman. Even a poor ghost could be squeezed for some oil.

The remaining issue was the Mountain Master.

...

The next morning, the Mountain Master’s Communication Talisman received a message from Spencer Aiden.

"We have arrived near Jaafar County. Please forgive us for being cautious - the people of the Wood Dynasty have always been cunning and treacherous, and we don’t want to be sold out by you. You must first tell us the specific situation of the treasure trove in the Underground Palace before we can discuss the next steps of cooperation."

The Mountain Master showed an unexpected expression and sneered: "These barbarians from the south!"

He sent a message to Spencer Aiden: "There lies the burial of an ancient cultivator who, in his lifetime, single-handedly broke through the entire Copper Gorge Extinction Domain."

"His strength, according to our current evaluation standards, is at least at the Eighth Realm."

"He brought a large number of treasures from the Copper Gorge Extinction Domain, causing many high-level Demon Beings in the domain to bear grudges against him to this day."

"But I cannot tell you where exactly it is."

Owen Bertram received the reply but wasn’t surprised; the Mountain Master was very cautious and would not easily reveal crucial information. He threw the Communication Talisman into the Storage Brocade Pouch and went out to eat.

The breakfast was still cooked by Verna, with Bennett Basil and Matthew being the most enthusiastic eaters.

Ava Bertram did not like these two fellows, even though they both paid a large amount of "meal money." She knew she had made a profit, but she still had to share her cooked food with them. Verna was not happy - the best foodies were those who paid but didn’t eat.

After breakfast, Matthew hesitated to speak. Owen Bertram ordered: "Come with me."

When they were alone, he asked, "What’s the matter?"

Matthew was extremely conflicted. "Master, I am truly incapable. I’m afraid I’m not qualified to teach the young lady."

Owen Bertram found it strange. Verna had never been exposed to Cultivation, and Matthew was at the Illuminating Acupoint Level of the Second Level - more than enough to mentor her.

"Is it because... my sister is too ignorant..."

Matthew hurriedly waved his hand: "Not at all!"

He smiled bitterly again: "Master, why be so modest? You must know the young lady’s level better than I do."

Matthew had thought that the master had asked him to mentor Verna and Bennett, but in reality, he only needed to teach Bennett. Verna might have been just an excuse.

He didn’t understand why the master had arranged it this way, perhaps there was a deeper meaning.

However, after a few days, Matthew had been beaten by life so much that he began to doubt his existence. If this continued, he felt that his Daoist heart would break, and if it went wrong, he might suffer a backlash.

Owen Bertram was also puzzled. What did this mean? He simply said: "You teach your classes today, and I will come to watch."

...

Verna sat on the doorstep, her little hand supporting her cheek, seriously contemplating what to eat for lunch. This was a very important question.

Seeing Matthew return, her face instantly fell. Bennett, however, stood up and asked: "Is it time for class?"

Matthew nodded: "Young lady, today we will learn a Divine Skill called ’Deep Frost Freeze.’ Pay attention. Once you have learned it, it can be used to preserve food." Noticing Ava Bertram’s lack of enthusiasm, he emphasized: "It can freeze and keep food fresh."

Ava Bertram’s eyes lit up.

Owen Bertram was surprised - having interacted with the people of Horizon Bureau for a while; he now knew that this "Deep Frost Freeze" required a cultivation base at the First Great Realm’s Spiritual Vein Level.

However, Bennett had just stepped into the Spiritual Energy Level, while Verna had never cultivated before. Could the two of them learn "Deep Frost Freeze"?

Matthew began to explain the Divine Skill - how to use Spiritual Energy to create a low-temperature environment, how to condense the surrounding water vapor to enhance the effect of the Divine Skill, and so on.

Matthew only explained once, and Bennett nodded: "I understand. I’ll perform it once, and Lord Prescott can see if it’s right."

Owen Bertram was taken aback: Learned it in one try?!

However, Matthew seemed to be accustomed to it: "Alright, you go ahead."

Bennett gathered his Spiritual Energy, and his whole person became calm, completely different from his usual chubby cook demeanor. Then, suddenly, both of his hands pushed forward, and a white mist quickly condensed in front of his palms. The mist slowly spun and grew larger until it stopped at the size of a washbasin.

He actually did it... Owen Bertram was speechless. And it looked quite powerful, too.

Matthew remained expressionless, evidently having experienced the harsh reality of society.
