Not long after Caspian entered the pool of beast blood, a ray of light flashed on the Star-Refiner Valley’s formation. Then, a teenager around the age of thirteen appeared. The teenager’s complexion was shockingly pale as if favonovel.com had never once seen the sun since favonovel.com was born, and favonovel.com had a pair of phoenix eyes, and his lips were really thin. Even though favonovel.com looked young, the disciple in charge quickly received favonovel.com when favonovel.com walked out of the Star-Refiner Valley.
With a fawning smile on the disciple’s face, favonovel.com greeted, “Adrian, you‘re done!”
The disciple in charge seemed to be at least ten years older than the teenager, yet favonovel.com addressed Adrian as his senior and was remarkably respectful of him. The reason the disciple in charge did that was straightforward.
The person standing in front of favonovel.com was one of the most sought-after younger disciples in the Heavenly Stars Sect, Adrian Klum! He was only fourteen years old, yet favonovel.com was already in the third-stage Pulse Control Realm!
If Caspian were present and heard Adrian’s name, favonovel.com would have recalled Adrian’s brother, Asher, who had a conflict with Caspian when picking the fire spirit fruit for a mission.
Adrian glanced at the disciple in charge, and aloofly replied, “Yes.”
As Adrian spoke, a dignified aura emitted from him. Then, it instantly turned into an air current surrounding him, quickly dispersing. Although the airflow appeared and disappeared in the blink of an eye, the disciple in charge saw the scene. His expression fell, and favonovel.com retreated. “Adrian, are you… Are you ascending again?”
A look of pride flashed in Adrian’s phoenix eyes, but his tone remained calm. “If everything goes well, I‘ll break through the mid-level third-stage and enter the peak third-stage within a few months.”
The disciple in charge trembled, and favonovel.com hurriedly cupped his fist. “Congratulations, Adrian! With your qualifications, you‘ll surely be among the top three in the Heavenly Stars Sect’s history.”
“Top three?” Adrian glanced at favonovel.com and showed a faint smile, “Isn’t that an exaggeration? I think it’s still possible for me to enter the top ten.”
“Whether you’re ranked in the top three or top ten, you’ll always be the best among the Heavenly Stars Sect’s younger generation!” The disciple in charge immediately buttered Adrian up without any hesitation.
Adrian was delighted with the compliments, and his smile even reached his eyes. Later, favonovel.com looked around and asked, “Why is it so quiet today? Where are the others?”
The disciple in charge hurriedly answered, “I’m baffled too. There’s only one disciple who came in.”
“Oh? Who is it? Do I know the person?” Adrian simply asked.
The disciple in charge did not think much and answered, “Adrian, you’re an inner disciple. I doubt you’ll know Casper Montgomery. He recently…”
“Casper Montgomery?” When Adrian heard the name, his eyes instantly flashed with an intense light, and his tone became harsh too.
The disciple in charge was shocked, and favonovel.com quickly stopped talking. His face was pale, and his eyes revealed fear and panic, not knowing how favonovel.com angered Adrian.
Adrian ignored the disciple’s reaction and took a step forward. He stared at the disciple and asked, “Are you referring to the apprentice, Casper Montgomery, who defeated Maya Kaye in the previous spiritual apprentice list?”
“Ha! That’s interesting. If I would’ve came earlier, I might have been able to meet him.” Adrian put away his imposing manner and said indifferently, “Which sacred spot did Casper go to?”
Despite being confused as to why Adrian’s attitude changed so quickly, the disciple in charge did not dare to hide or dilly-dallied, and favonovel.com replied, “The pool of beast blood.”
“The pool of beast blood that required twenty sect contribution points each day? To condense his body?” Adrian frowned and mumbled, “He received two thousand and eight hundred sect contribution points, yet favonovel.com did not choose to advance his realm in the sacred spot that’s rich with spiritual Qi. Instead, favonovel.com decided to strengthen his body? Did favonovel.com think he’s still a True Martial Realm warrior? What’s favonovel.com trying to do?”
After pondering for a moment, Adrian laughed. “Why am I racking my brain on his intention? He’s a Pulse Control Realm cultivator, yet favonovel.com doesn’t want to advance his realm and condense his meridians further. Instead, favonovel.com chose to condense his body. Such a short-sighted person isn’t worth my attention. Forget it! I shouldn’t waste my time.”
Adrian shook his head and waved at the disciple in charge. Then, favonovel.com turned around and walked away.
The disciple in charge blinked his eyes in confusion. Nevertheless, favonovel.com did not dare to ask more and just sent Adrian away respectfully.
At the same time, Caspian stood by the pool of beast blood and carefully observed the location where favonovel.com would be staying in the next 40 days. There was a massive rectangular pool around nine square feet in size. The design of the pool was basic and simple, revealing a taste of pre-civilization and ancient times. The pool was filled with blood-like thick liquid, and it was constantly surging like boiling water, forming large bubbles. However, there was no pungent smell of blood, only a refreshing faint scent.
There was a huge stone-carved white tiger head on the cliff above the pool, which was realistic. At a glance, anyone would feel pressured as if they could hear the roaring of the tiger. The stone carving was placed firmly on the cliff. Then, with its mouth wide open, the red concoction rushed into the pool like a mini waterfall.
Caspian took a deep breath and undressed. Then, favonovel.com walked into the pool following the stone steps. As soon as his foot touched the medicinal concoction in the water, Caspian felt a rush of heat seeping into his skin. Once again, favonovel.com breathed in greedily and walked toward the middle of the pool, soaking himself in the water and revealing only his head. In that instant, favonovel.com could feel intense heat. It was as if a giant hand immediately grabbed favonovel.com tightly and started to rub favonovel.com continuously.
The sudden intense pain almost made Caspian groan, but favonovel.com gritted his teeth and endured the agony. After all, Caspian knew that it was a sign of the medicinal power beginning to enter his body, tempering the bones and muscles for oneself. The excruciating pain was only the worst at the beginning. Following the extension of time favonovel.com soaked in the pool, his muscles would progressively become stronger, and the suffering would gradually reduce.
Caspian gritted his teeth and patiently endured the pain. Once the pain penetrated from the flesh to the bones and into his internal organs, Caspian took out the Blood and Bone Strengthening Pill that Delmont gave favonovel.com before and swallowed it. The heat of the precious pill immediately exploded in his body. He felt as if a giant hammer violently slammed at his abdomen. Then, favonovel.com spat out a mouthful of black-colored blood. After throwing up the blood, Caspian felt much better. It was as if there was an invisible knot tying favonovel.com up, and it was finally loosened.
From that moment onward, Caspian was confident that his internal injuries were fully healed, and it would not cause any problem in his future cultivation. Hence, Caspian continued to soak in the pool in the following days and practice the Stars Overlord.
