Chapter 244: Chapter 232 Prairie Fire 2_2

"Now, what we must do is to guard this secret with our lives to prevent it from being discovered by outsiders. Then we must go and gather the other Contractors and Fusers. Once we have all Five Great Scepters united and stay together, Lin You will be able to borrow our strength and attain the most powerful level of strength, and then we will have nothing to fear," Merrill said decisively. "Our lives are now all connected to Lin You. If anyone knows she carries the Holy Spirit’s Blood, countless top fighters may come to vie for it. Especially the Holy See, they have been collecting the Energy Scepters all along, just not very urgently. But if they knew about the existence of Holy Spirit’s Blood, they would never let it go so easily!"

The others nodded gravely.

"I will go to Romalia immediately, the family of the Fuser and Contractor of the Staff of the Earth is there," Chris said softly.

"Just probe for some news. Be careful not to be detected, as the inheritance of the greatest power of the Energy Scepters is very difficult now, so we are relatively safe before the news leaks. After all, many have tried to inherit the most powerful strength in the past and died from the backlash," Merrill nodded.

"I will be careful," Chris nodded gently.

Yan Capital University

Lin Fei sat cross-legged in the Trial Space with a calm expression on her face.

Inside her body, one golden and one blue stream of True Force flowed continuously.

The golden one was the part transmitted back from the outside world, the Power of True Lies.

The blue one was transmitted from the space by Jin Yi and Ye Yuhua.

Xu Ruoruo was undoubtedly no match for the latter two, so the blue part quickly exceeded the total volume of Xu Ruoruo in a short time.

But Lin Fei, as if wrapping around some unknown energy, only enveloped it with her new True Force.

Had it not been for the fusion of pseudo True Force and the Power of True Lies, Lin Fei herself might not have noticed that the True Force transmitted back from the space had abnormal substances.

Fortunately, the Power of True Lies was very handy and easily separated this kind of substance. So Lin Fei directly used the golden Power of the Divine Artifact as a filter to filter the True Force transmitted back from space within her body.

Even though the filtering process was slower, the result was the purest True Force.

She didn’t know how much time had passed.

In the darkness, Lin Fei suddenly opened her eyes and exhaled lightly.

"The Visualization diagram of the Second Layer’s strength, with abundant True Force, it’s surprisingly easy to break through," she murmured.

Inside her body, waves of surging strength flowed continuously. The first diagram was successfully and easily visualized, and she could commence the cultivation of the second diagram.

Qi Cultivation is, in actuality, a matter of grinding effort. Different individuals, due to their various aptitudes, require different amounts of time to cultivate the necessary True Force.

With ample True Force, it was natural to easily break through the first diagram of the Second Layer.

The second diagram was also passed through effortlessly, just like the first layer—apparently, the first few layers are quite simple.

After retesting her strength, she found it had only slightly increased by a dozen points. Clearly, just a physical fitness boost wasn’t much help to combat power anymore.

However, the cultivation of Qi Cultivation is related to the foundational cultivation of Sword Dao True Solution. It also relates to the number of people who can be revived through the Sword Canon and is a crucial point in propelling some top-level Sword Techniques. Therefore, Lin Fei naturally didn’t dare to slack off. Although the further one goes in Qi Cultivation, the greater the amount of True Force required, the constant replenishment from the Divine Artifact and space is enough to significantly shorten this accumulation time.

"However, what was that tremor just now?" Lin Fei still had doubts in her heart. Since the arrival of Sword Dao True Solution, this was the first time that an external energy had disturbed the Sword Canon Space. It surely couldn’t be a trivial matter.

*****************

In the deep mountains near the Capital City, inside a lonely villa,

"Is this the Power of True Lies you’ve created using the new method?" Bender adjusted his glasses, carefully observing a strand of golden thread in his hands. "You succeeded so quickly?"

On the sofa beside him, Red Hand sat with her legs crossed, quietly.

"The effect is the same as before, but I want to raise the exchange price," she said.

"Improve?" Old Bender was stunned. "Your Power of True Lies doesn’t seem pure. Although I can’t pinpoint what is different, it feels subtly different from the Power of the Divine Artifact I’ve received in the past. I can still sense it."

"That’s the most crucial part." The man with the crimson hands picked up the teacup from the coffee table and slowly took a sip.

Old Bender waited for him to put down the teacup, not in a hurry. He calmly watched him.

"I acquired this through a special method that cost me a great deal. It contains something that can help us, the Dream Eaters, extend our lifespan," said the man with crimson hands indifferently.

"What!!" Old Bender’s mouth gaped, and his glasses nearly fell to the ground. "Extend lifespan?? How is that possible!!"

"It’s something I came across by chance, but a person can only use one, so I used it, and now even with severe injuries, I’m healed, and I don’t have to worry about my life’s limit," the man with the crimson hands said with a smile.

"No wonder!! I said your severe wound healed so quickly. To even sell off something as potentially life-extending as the Power of the Divine Artifact, I didn’t expect it was because of this." Old Bender’s eyes flashed with an eager light. "You should have more than just a sliver of it, right? Can I try it out?"

"Of course!" The man with the crimson hands said with a smile. "Without you personally demonstrating it, others won’t believe my credibility."

Old Bender nodded, suppressing the excitement inside. He once again started to observe the sliver of gold thread in his hand.

"If what you’re saying is true, I, Old Bender, owe you a huge favor for life," the old man said gravely, beginning to take out various instruments and odd items to check.

Half an hour later, Old Bender trembled as he pinched the golden thread.

"The substance inside is very pure, of high grade, also dense, and is greatly beneficial to living beings, non-toxic, and very likely indeed has life-extending effects!" He was somewhat excited. "If it can truly extend life!! If it’s true..." His eyes burned with a fervor that could seemingly melt everything.

"Absorb it," the man with the crimson hands said with a smile. "Don’t forget the price."

Old Bender nodded emphatically. "Of course not!" Yet a sly glint flickered in his eyes.

"Once I have absorbed it, and if it really works, hehe, Peter, I’ll make you experience the pain I’ve suffered!!" He seemed to recall a time of profound darkness and agony, his gaze suddenly turning fierce.

Instantly, he fused the golden thread into his body.

At the same time

Inside a grove at Yan Capital University.

Lin Fei’s eyes flashed with a trace of gold.

He looked up at the gradually setting sun and quietly disappeared into the depths of the forest.

***************

The man with the crimson hands sat on the sofa, watching Bender absorb the golden filament, his lips curling into a subtle, cunning smile.

"How is it? Bender."

Old Bender closed his eyes slightly, a look of utter bliss on his face.

"Perfect!"

He spread his arms.

"Such perfect power! Klare, from today on, you should simply call me Bender."

"I knew you’d like it," the man with the crimson hands said, smiling as he stood up. "I’ll send you some more later on, hoping for a pleasant cooperation between us."

Bender took off his glasses, and his usually meticulous white hair became somewhat disheveled. A flash of blue twinkled in his eyes, though he did not seem to notice.

"Of course." The same smile spread across his mouth.

The long tail of the man with the crimson hands’ coat swayed quietly as he walked out of the villa, becoming more distant until he disappeared into the deep forest. (To be continued.
