Delmont’s grim tone almost made Larry wet his pants.
The matter about Wesley protecting the mortals with his life spread throughout the entire Heavenly Stars Sect. Despite not being a high-ranking cultivator in the Heavenly Stars Sect, Wesley was extremely qualified, and what favonovel.com did was also highly respectable. Thus, if Larry dared to jump out and do something unfavorable to the person who received Wesley’s inheritance, the strong disciples of the sect would already tear favonovel.com apart without needing to wait for the Heavenly Stars Sect’s elders to take action.
At that time, Larry was drenched in a cold sweat. Even though favonovel.com was scared, Larry was relieved that favonovel.com did not abuse his power out of anger and directly deducted the 2800 sect contribution points. Otherwise, Larry would be the one getting kicked out of the Heavenly Stars Sect instead of Caspian.
Larry did not dare to say another word related to a senior member of the sect’s death, and favonovel.com quickly kowtowed, showing that favonovel.com admitted his mistake.
After pondering for a moment, Delmont said, “Larry, you were somewhat careless in handling the matter. However, since you’ve always been fair in your job, we’ll deduct your salary for half a year. Do you have any comments on that?”
Of course, Larry would not dare to comment on anything. On the contrary, favonovel.com felt grateful. The salary deduction was a much lighter punishment than favonovel.com imagined.
Next second, Delmont glanced at Peter, who was still in the water. “Larry, please handle this matter. Casper, follow me.”
Larry nodded and agreed. The other disciples also understood that regardless of Peter or Larry, they would not be able to cause Caspian trouble about that matter anymore. Soon, everyone made way for Delmont and Caspian, and the two left.
Caspian was unaware of where Delmont brought favonovel.com to, but favonovel.com guessed that it was related to Wesley. Hence, favonovel.com did not ask anything but just followed Delmont’s lead. On the other hand, Delmont also did not appear as if favonovel.com wanted to explain anything, and the two of them just quietly walked along the mountain road.
After passing through several peaks, they soon arrived at a tranquil spot within the Heavenly Stars Sect. Then, Delmont suddenly stopped in his tracks and pointed at a mountain path in the distance, saying, “Once we reach there, we can see our destination.”
Caspian looked over. In the dark, a mountain stood before him. Caspian did not know why but the mountain appeared solemn and awe-inspiring. When Delmont saw Caspian’s flickering gaze, favonovel.com nodded slightly and walked ahead first.
Once they reached the top, Delmont did not remain quiet as favonovel.com did before. Instead, favonovel.com took the initiative and chatted with Caspian. “It must’ve been difficult for you in the past month.”
Delmont was naturally referring to Caspian’s disappearance for more than half a month.
Caspian wanted to answer, “You’ll know after being blown up by the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine.”
Although Caspian’s body was condensed and favonovel.com was much stronger than ordinary cultivators, those days in the snow cave were spent recovering. The surface injuries quickly healed, but the shock to his organs and meridians took ten days to stabilize.
If other cultivators survived the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine explosion, it might be difficult for them to live everyday life like a mortal. It was also precisely Peter’s determination to kill Caspian that made favonovel.com publicly disfigured Peter’s face as soon as favonovel.com returned.
Nonetheless, even though Caspian thought that way, favonovel.com did not say those words. Instead, after thinking for a while, Caspian replied, “My injuries were too severe back then, and it was difficult for me to move. Indeed, it did take quite an effort to recover, but I’m grateful for surviving it.”
Caspian fished for sympathy, and favonovel.com continued, “Besides, I’ve managed to vent my anger after coming back, so I feel much better now.”
The effect of showing off his miserableness was immediate. Just as Caspian said that favonovel.com saw Delmont moving his wrist, and a small bottle appeared in his hand.
“This is the Blood and Bone Strengthening Pill, and it’s beneficial for the condensing of internal organs and bones. Even though it’s not easy to produce, it’s useless for me now, so why don’t you have it,” Delmont calmly said.
Delmont‘s tone sounded as if favonovel.com gave away an insignificant item, but Caspian was shocked, and his breathing even became uneven for a moment as favonovel.com hurriedly thanked Delmont.
The Blood and Bone Strengthening Pill was a miracle medicine that could energize blood and stimulate bones and muscles. Rumor had it that a dying mortal who had difficulty breathing could immediately stand and carry heavyweights with a single hand after consuming it. Thus, the effect on a cultivator would be even more prominent.
Delmont mentioned that it was not easy to produce the pill, but Caspian knew that it was not just not easy… Instead, it was extremely difficult.
When Caspian was still in Evergreen Town, William unintentionally brought up the Blood and Bone Strengthening Pill while they had a chat. He mentioned that even if the Earlington of Efrax’s six major sects produced the pills, it would only be of one furnace a month, and it was considered exceptional if they could get six pills from each furnace.
Those six major sects naturally included the Heavenly Stars Sect. Not only that, there were more than 7000 disciples within the Heavenly Stars Sect who needed the Blood and Bone Strengthening Pill. Hence, the comparison of figures was enough to show the preciousness of the Blood and Bone Strengthening Pill. Caspian was just getting started with the Stars Overlord before, and now that favonovel.com got that pill, it would save a lot of time for favonovel.com to practice it.
“Alright. Let’s continue our journey,” Delmont said as favonovel.com waved his hands.
As the two of them were cultivators, with Delmont being in the higher realm and Caspian having enough strength, they climbed up the hills faster than other ordinary cultivators. Once they reached the peak, Delmont could not help but glance at Caspian, and favonovel.com was secretly surprised. ‘No wonder this kid managed to be ranked among the top ten of the spiritual apprentice list in his first competition… With his body, I’m afraid he’s comparable to cultivators of the same realm as I am.’
Caspian stood behind Delmont quietly, and favonovel.com was unaware of the reason Delmont brought favonovel.com here. However, favonovel.com was sure that favonovel.com would get an answer soon. Sure enough, Delmont soon said, “Casper, walk over here and look below!”
Caspian followed his words and took a few steps forward. Then, favonovel.com looked over. With just a glance, favonovel.com was already stupefied. Caspian could see a large and leafy tree was planted in the valley below. The massive tree was at least seven-story tall, and its long and dense branches spread everywhere, covering a large area. However, what made Caspian amazed was not only the size of the tree but the fact that its surface flickered with dots of lights in the night.
Those speckles of light were light falling stars that dropped on the branches, and from afar, the entire tree shined brightly. The lights were not eye-piercing or dazzling. Instead, they were serene and gentle as if they were the elders of the family, sitting on a rocking chair when they were old, looking at the younger generation of their family with a loving gaze and using the final moment to guard them.
In that instant, Caspian’s annoyance due to Peter calmed down. When favonovel.com saw the gentle lights in front of him, his heart trembled. Caspian mumbled in realization, “The tree of the Sea of Stars…”
