“If you think it’s too expensive,” a woman said slyly, “you could also come to my room tonight, and then the story is free.”
Emily Taylor took a step forward and brushed against Ethan Smith unintentionally.
Ethan Smith got goosebumps instantly and hurriedly stepped back.
“Ten gremlins are ten gremlins, but I’m going to pay you in a month.”
Ethan Smith furrowed his brows, by then the Azure Sky Palace’s Rosie Lowe would give him his monthly gremlins, and he wouldn’t feel so embarrassed.
“Fine, you know about Bone Refining Water?”
Kennedi Evans wasn’t afraid he’d default on the payment and started explaining right away.
“Of course, I do.”
Ethan nodded.
“Then do you know the source of the Bone Refining River? Rumor has it that the Bone Refining Water originated from a fallen Immortal Emperor, in a Mystic Realm within the Ninth-layer Purgatory. His blood, washed by waterfall, turned into the Bone Refining Water. And where he fell, there’s a passage to the Holy Region, but this claim has yet to be verified,” Emily recounted.
She rested a hand on Ethan’s shoulder, taking advantage of him as much as she could.
“Why?”
Ethan calmly shrugged off Kennedi’s hand.
“Because all who’ve gone to investigate have died on the way. The sect master of the Executioner Sect only reached the periphery of the Ninth-layer Purgatory. As such, what’s really there is unknown. Rumors probably get exaggerated over time; I’m not sure if the story is true, but you’ll have to pay the gremlins unless…”
She let her hand wander down to Ethan’s butt.
“Are you crazy?!”
Ethan jumped up like a spooked chicken. It wasn’t that he was a neat freak; it’s just that his heart belonged to Emily Taylor, and considering how many men Kennedi had been with, the thought alone made Ethan feel sick.
“Don’t be so harsh.”
Kennedi looked wronged.
“The gremlins will definitely be delivered after a month.”
Ethan left with those words.
“Ethan, where the hell are you? You didn’t run off, did you?”
Ethan arrived at Lornclould City’s Central Square when he suddenly heard the man with the mustache cursing loudly.
“No running here, I’m at the Central Square of Lornclould City.”
Ethan said irritably.
The man with the mustache rushed over in a huff, extending a hand:
“What did you get in the Mystic Realm? I’ve heard that you took everything there, don’t you try to cheat me.”
The mustache man was convinced that nobody could fool him.
Ethan rolled his eyes and sent the mustached man into the Sumi Space.
He was instantly captivated by the coffin, caressing the carvings on it with a look of rapture.
“Did you see the records here? They could be the history of the masked woman, and might even reveal her origins, but we need to decipher these inscriptions first.”
The verbose mustached man went on, almost glowing with excitement.
“Sure, you manage to bring this thing out from all those people; even the material alone should be considered top grade at the time.”
“This thing is barely utilizable for its material. I’ve tried many methods to test it, and got no response. It might simply be a coffin,” Ethan shrugged.
“Trash, what the hell do you know.”
The mustached man pulled out a pile of ancient books and started comparing notes, paying no more attention to Ethan.
Ethan left the space. He still had a lot to do. After his discussion with Elder Baker, he realized he had no advantage. He felt a real sense of urgency!
Ethan Smith hurried to the Fire Scale Continent without stopping; the chaotic qi within his body had dwindled to a mere twenty to thirty percent after the battle.
The quickest way to recover now was to cultivate on the Fire Scale Continent, utilizing the Qilin Core to draw in the fire energy.
“It seems like the fire energy here isn’t as abundant as before?”
Ethan Smith knit his brows together, wondering if the fire energy hadn’t yet recovered to its previous level after his last cultivation session.
He had a headache; he was in desperate need of spiritual energy, but this galaxy lacked sufficient resources.
If he were to keep using the desolate divine eye in the future, reserves of spiritual energy like these were essential; he couldn’t possibly allow Sara or Xiao Pang to sacrifice themselves again.
Ethan Smith walked toward the deepest part of the volcano, where numerous Refining Masters were engaged in artifact refining.
Refining Masters typically spent their entire lives studying the art of artifact refining, so the Heavenly Order did not target them, allowing them to avoid a tribulation.
“Stop there, you’re not allowed to pass!”
Three people suddenly stood in front of Ethan Smith, shouting loudly.
“What a joke. Since when did the Fire Scale Continent become someone’s private property? I wasn’t aware.”
Ethan Smith said with a cold laugh.
“Up ahead is the core of the volcano itself. If a glob of magma were to erupt, could you withstand it?”
Another person said with an icy voice.
“You needn’t worry about me!”
Ethan Smith strode past them, and two hands immediately landed on him.
His expression turned frosty, and with a barely perceptible shrug of his shoulders, the two men were flung away like rag dolls.
“Brother, please listen. We meant no offense just now. Up ahead, Master Heiyu is refining a Magic Weapon, and it’s a critical moment. Please wait for a moment. Once my master completes his refining, there will surely be a substantial reward!”
The young man, seeing that Ethan Smith seemed difficult to deal with, promptly lowered his stance.
“I can’t wait too long.”
Ethan Smith said coldly, the arrogant attitudes of the two youths earlier had irked him significantly.
His divine sense extended outward, indeed detecting someone ahead in the process of crafting a nearly complete magical artifact.
Judging by the fluctuations of its aura, it was at least a Peak Holy Artifact, and it might even surpass that.
“This Heiyu is considered a rather famous Refining Master in this galaxy, though he’s a notch below Master Solin.” Elder Baker explained to Ethan Smith. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Surprisingly, a True Saint of the Sixth Rank was protecting Heiyu.
“Damn it, after the master finishes refining the Magic Weapon, I want the team captain to teach this brat a lesson. He actually dared to lay hands on us!”
The one who had been sent flying grumbled with discontent.
“Just shut up already. The guy didn’t even use his spiritual energy, and with one move, he took you both down. If he hadn’t shown mercy, neither of you would be jumping around right now.”
The cultivator who had tried to smooth things over with Ethan Smith shook his head.
Ethan Smith sat down cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. Although he hadn’t reached the most central area, the fire energy here was still vibrant.
With the aid of the Qilin Core, fire energy surged into his body swiftly, transforming into roiling chaotic qi.
“Damn, isn’t this freakish? Absorbing such violent fire energy so quickly; isn’t he afraid of exploding to death?”
“Maybe he has a Magic Weapon on him that absorbs fire energy; otherwise, not even the team captain would dare to cultivate here. Could it be that he’s even stronger than the team captain?”
“That’s impossible.”
The three of them discussed this among themselves.
“No, wait, could he be Ethan Smith? I heard that Master Solin had crafted a Tribulation Crossing Peak Divine Artifact, and that artifact is with Ethan Smith!”
