Chapter 707: Chapter 422: Refusing a Toast_1

"Aren’t you curious, Sir, about the gift we have prepared for you?"

Owen Bertram seemed to smile but not quite as he asked, "Oh? What precious thing is it? Ronald Clan is wealthy and powerful, so the treasure you intend to give must be extraordinary."

"Indeed, it is a treasure like no other in this world, something you certainly need," Omar Ronald said slowly. "It is the Sealing Heaven Record!"

Owen Bertram was taken aback. Omar Ronald continued, with an air of superiority, as if he had seen through everything, "Mr. Bertram, you have been cultivating all this time, but have you ever acquired a reliable basic cultivation method? The Sealing Heaven Record is said to be the number one mysterious book in the Eastern Land. It is more than worthy of you!"

Owen had to admit that his heart skipped a beat at that moment, and he was indeed tempted.

The title "Number One Mysterious Book in the Eastern Land" might not sound that appealing, but anything that could be called "number one" was the pinnacle of this continent, with no fakes! With this level of cultivation method, one could have the opportunity to reach the Ninth Realm!

Omar Ronald had traveled the world, challenging all his peers who were Heaven’s Chosen, and met countless people. Naturally, he could see through Bertram’s emotional fluctuations and knew that he was tempted.

Within the Ronald Clan, there were many experienced individuals who served as advisors. Although they might not have high cultivation levels, they were knowledgeable and had sharp vision. They had gathered all of Owen Bertram’s experiences since he became famous, thoroughly studying his every battle, and finally came to an astonishing conclusion: Owen Bertram might not have a basic cultivation method!

For a cultivator, the style and method of fighting could be diverse, but all variations had a common foundation. This "foundation" was his basic cultivation method, and all divine skills, talismans, magical instruments, and other items needed to be used in conjunction with the basic cultivation method. The basic cultivation method was the basis of everything.

However, they could not find this "foundation" in any of Owen Bertram’s battles! They analyzed that Owen Bertram, after all, came from a humble background. He stumbled upon the path of cultivation by chance and had no alternatives. Naturally, he practiced whatever cultivation method was available to him.

At some point, his realm might have improved, and his status might have risen, giving him access to better cultivation methods. Thus, he switched to practicing new methods. But his progress was too fast, so he might not have settled on a real basic cultivation method even now.

That’s why the Ronald Clan sent someone to discuss peace with Owen Bertram. They targeted Owen’s weak spot and offered him a tempting chip that he couldn’t refuse.

Omar Ronald was proud in his heart, as this was the depth and background of his millennia-old family! Maintaining this advisory group consumed a large amount of money every year, which ordinary families could not afford.

"Sir, you should know that it took my Ronald Clan a tremendous amount of resources to acquire the entire Sealing Heaven Record. By presenting you with this gift, you should understand our sincerity!"

Owen Bertram asked, "But I’ve heard that the Sealing Heaven Record has very peculiar requirements for talent. Even if you give it to me, I might not be able to cultivate it."

"Hahaha." Omar Ronald laughed heartily and patted Owen Bertram on the shoulder. "If others had such concerns, I would agree. But with your talent, Sir, I believe you will surely find a way to cultivate the Sealing Heaven Record."

He looked at Owen Bertram with friendly eyes, waiting for him to hesitate for a moment before agreeing. From then on, he could only waver between Ronald Clan and Abner Lane, or rather... be caught between a rock and a hard place.

It wasn’t easy to accept the Ronald Clan’s generous offer. Once Owen Bertram accepted it, the Ronald Clan would find ways to slowly infiltrate and influence him, gradually binding him and the Ronald Clan together.

But how could anyone resist such a temptation as the Sealing Heaven Record?

Owen Bertram also looked at Omar Ronald, his heart filled with admiration for the Ronald Clan’s strength and unfathomable depth. They were able to analyze from various details that he did not have a basic cultivation method, and the Ronald Clan was indeed decisive and willing to part with the incredibly precious Sealing Heaven Record!

But the problem was, he didn’t need it at all!

Why cultivate? He had his brother! Wouldn’t it be better to simply lie down and wait for his brother to provide for him? Why bother with the painful process of cultivating? Every day, he would have to meditate for several shichen (2 hours), communicating with heaven and earth with all his heart and soul, just to condense a tiny bit of heaven and earth’s energy into his own spiritual energy.

My brother gives me a huge wave at a time.

So the Ronald Clan’s judgment wasn’t wrong. Owen Bertram didn’t have a basic cultivation method, and he hadn’t even genuinely cultivated to this day! He simply didn’t need to!

To use this as a bribe for Owen Bertram, he was initially tempted by the reputation of the Sealing Heaven Record, but he soon regained his senses, realizing that it would be useless to him.

If the Ronald Clan gave it away for free, he could take it and feed it to his brother, which would be fine. But the Ronald Clan was asking for too much, and Owen Bertram couldn’t agree.

"The Ronald Clan is really generous!" Owen Bertram expressed that he was once very tempted, but then he refused, "However, I don’t need it!"

Omar Ronald was shocked, thinking he had misheard, "What did Sir say?"

"I said, I don’t need it!"

Omar Ronald’s anger boiled up, and he almost cursed aloud. This was indeed like a dog riding a sedan chair, not knowing how to appreciate kindness! He suppressed his anger, his eyes turning red, "Sir, you should think carefully! This is the Sealing Heaven Record!"

"I’ve already thought it through," Owen Bertram said. "If I were to agree, I’m afraid the countless souls who have died in the eastern regions due to your Ronald Clan would haunt me and question my conscience every night!"

"Ridiculous!" Omar Ronald raged. "These are just ordinary mortals; they were meant to die anyway! Ordinary people in this world are like weeds that never cease to wither and regrow, born to die. Dying for our Ronald Clan is their honor and value, far more meaningful than simply living out their lives in mediocrity!"
