Chapter 181: Chapter 179: Bat Taoist (Part 1)

Ultimately, Nathan Lane didn’t get to see Sylvia again. This morning, he awakened the "Divine Envoy" and set off facing the morning sun.

Last night, during their discussion, Nathan Lane suggested: abandon the Ghost Breeder clue.

Although it seems that by following the Master of the Estate’s upline and investigating all the way, it would be easiest to achieve results. However, once Prince Henry becomes aware of this, he can easily cut off this clue completely.

The matter of the Ghost Breeder must be kept secret, and Prince Henry’s side is also in single-line contact.

Orson Everett told Owen Bertram that Prince Henry was using the Ghost Army to guard the hoarded supplies for the rebellion - Nathan Lane analyzed it but didn’t think it was very likely. The Ghost Army had too many limitations; once it encountered a cultivator with a restraining attribute, it was almost defenseless.

Such important materials for the rebellion, Prince Henry must ensure absolute safety. Nathan Lane analyzed that it is more likely for puppets or Dao soldiers to be guarding them.

Both decided to follow the clue of Dao soldiers.

On the way, Nathan Lane asked, "Divine Envoy, how should I address you in front of others?"

Owen Bertram thought for a moment and said, "My last name is Jamal, Bert Jamal."

"Then I’ll call you Brother Jamal."

Owen Bertram nodded, "I’ll call you Little Four."

For some reason, Nathan Lane felt that when the Divine Envoy said this name, there was a bit of contempt in his tone.

"According to the clues we obtained from interrogating those guest chieftains, an independent cultivator named Bat Taoist, who secretly refines Dao soldiers for Prince Henry, is hiding at the foot of Wind and Rain Mountain to the southwest of Nine Caves Lake and relying on the protection of the Broken-Star Sect on the mountain - the Broken-Star Sect probably also defected to Prince Henry..."

Without looking back, the Mechanical Dao Soldiers knew that a huge magpie was following them about seven or eight miles away, occasionally flying out to catch prey to eat, or landing to dig in the cracks of rocks to dig out an ore and swallow it.

A little ghost was hiding in her neck feathers and would only come out at midnight.

The little ghost constantly scolded her father in her heart for having no foresight. With such a brother-in-law, she should have held on and he actually wanted to break them apart?

The two traveling did not mention anything; Owen Bertram pretended to be in closed-door cultivation.

Today, a rolling warm current finally returned, and the "Baby" had been digested.

The whole body felt as if it was immersed in a hot bath on a cold winter day, incredibly comfortable. The radiance in the Spiritual Cavity brightened up, and as the items within were continuously strengthened, the spiritual light began to spread outward from the Spiritual Cavity, gradually illuminating the nearby Spirit Veins.

However, unlike the previous Fire Vein illumination, this time all the Spirit Veins were illuminated simultaneously but not completely, and relied on the intermittent light of the Spiritual Cavity.

Owen Bertram estimated that this time, about 30% of the Spirit Veins in his body were illuminated. Two more times, and he could step into the Spirit Body Realm!

He leisurely stretched and felt it was worth all the effort and damage to his soul to obtain such delicious prey.

On the other hand, the warm current on his brother’s side hasn’t ended yet; two smaller warm currents followed, and directly injected into Owen Bertram’s mind, manifesting as two sets of text.

The first one was: "Thunder Pill Refining Manual.", and the second one was: "Annotations on the Pre-Heaven Wood Totem Collection!"

The first manual, "Thunder Pill Refining Manual", came from the divine power of the Baby absorbing the power of thunderbolts. The spiritual pill has two uses: healing wounds and replenishing spiritual energy.

Thunder and water nourish all living things.

This spiritual pill is of the third rank, and it is the top level of wound healing and replenishing spiritual energy in the third rank. The refining difficulty is extremely high, but the spiritual medicines required are not very precious.

One could say that refining such spiritual pills is a very profitable business, but even a pill master at the Fourth Great Realm may not have the ability to do so.

This item was precisely what Owen Bertram desperately needed at the moment.

The "Annotations on the Pre-Heaven Wood Totem Collection" likely came from the primordial wooden talisman that grew out of Baby’s head.

While the "Thunder Pill Refining Manual" could be called "precious," this "Annotations on the Pre-Heaven Wood Totem Collection" could be deemed "terrifying."

It contained nine wood-elemental primordial talisman refining methods!

Although limited to wood-elemental talismans, these were, after all, primordial talismans! Regrettably, with Owen Bertram’s current realm, he could not produce it. However, by reducing its power and turning it into a postnatal talisman, its might remains fearsome.

Owen Bertram was thrilled: As expected, at this level, ordinary prey wouldn’t provide much benefit to my brother and me; if we want to advance, we must seek out special treasures.

He controlled the Mechanical Dao Soldiers to follow Nathan Lane on their journey while multitasking by refining Thunder Pills and trying his hand at crafting a few talismans.

Nathan Lane was, after all, just a martial artist, and his speed was too slow. It took him till noon to reach Levi City. He invited "Bert Jamal" to his house for a visit, where he had a maidservant preparing lunch for them to eat before they left.

The Mechanical Dao Soldier couldn’t wait any longer. He grabbed Nathan Lane as they entered the house and stuffed the spiritual pills into his hands, "Eat up!"

"Sit cross-legged and meditate! I’ll guard you!"

Nathan Lane looked at the spiritual pills in his hand, finding it hard to believe: In this world, Cultivators were no secret, and many stories were circulating about the "immortals."

As a humble officer, Nathan Lane had once dreamed of cultivating to become an immortal. However, after seeking arduously for many years, he failed to find even a hint of a chance for immortality.

Now, this opportunity for immortality had fallen into his hands so easily.

Sniffing the ethereal scent emanating from the spiritual pills, he still asked incredulously, "Are these really for me?"

The Mechanical Dao Soldier spoke with profound meaning, "This is just the beginning; there will be more rewards!"

Nathan Lane understood that this was the Divine Envoy’s grace. As long as he faithfully served and did his best, more treasures would undoubtedly be bestowed upon him.

Filled with gratitude, Nathan Lane ceremoniously swallowed the spiritual pills.

Following the Mechanical Dao Soldier’s guidance, he sat cross-legged and started to release the medicine’s power.

Owen Bertram couldn’t wait anymore. They had spent the whole morning just to travel from Pelier Town back to Levi County on horseback. By the time they reached Wind and Rain Mountain, the dishes would be cold.

Two hours later, Nathan Lane had broken through the barrier between immortals and mortals, officially becoming a cultivator at the Spirit Body Realm, Spiritual Cavity level... a low-level cultivator.

For Nathan Lane, this was a momentous occasion. As he stood up and prepared to let out a roar skyward, the Mechanical Dao Soldier had already jumped on the Flying Shield and, while soaring into the sky, grabbed the back of his collar.

Whoosh—

The howl Nathan Lane intended to let out was forced back down his throat by the raging winds. If he hadn’t been a cultivator, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand the high-speed flight.

It was Nathan Lane’s first time flying, and he soared so high and so fast. However, he had no time to think about whether it was "tiring to fly" since he was frightened out of his wits. If he could actually manage to scream, he would have been shrieking non-stop.

Just one hour later, they landed effortlessly near a vast lake.

As far as the eye could see, the lake’s surface shimmered with waves, and water birds gathered in flocks. If someone claimed this was an ocean, others might believe them. This was the largest lake in the Wood Dynasty, Nine Caves Lake, connected to three major water systems - the Moe River, Salem River, and Russell River. It irrigated fertile land, creating the most affluent Lake Mature Region in the Wood Dynasty.
