The Story Never Ends
Chapter 178 - Becoming Rich

"Currently, I can. But I don't know why I couldn't before." Jonna opened her mouth causing him to become speechless. Didn't this mean that the spell he cast became useless?

"But it is still convenient for transmitting thoughts over a long distance." He thought.

He simply had to infuse his spiritual energy into the mark that had entered his mind depending on the distance and he would be able to communicate easily.

Then he asked, "Does this mean that you can transform into a human too?"

"No. However, I feel like I can when I the Domain Realm," She answered.

"Strange," He muttered.

"So, what are you going to do now? I'm sure that elder would know immediately once you leave the sect." He was indirectly implying her to stay with him.

"Since you saved my life twice, I want to repay you by serving you wholeheartedly my entire life," She bowed her head gratefully as she knew that without him, she would have died a long ago.

"This.."

"Won't I be taking away your freedom in this way?" He spoke with some difficulty although this was what he really wanted.

"I don't care about that. The only thing I want is revenge which I can take myself in the future." Flames emitted from her eyes causing Danny to get scared and back away.

"I belong to the same sect as him. Do you think that I will let you do as you please?" He gave her a cold look.

"Father." Danny gripped his arm as he felt the atmosphere getting tense.

She shuddered and didn't know what to do. Her mind became a mess and only after a while she replied.

"Sorry, I will never have this thought ever again and I have decided to serve you even though it means losing my freedom."

Davion could see that she was struggling with this decision.

"Haha, you have passed my test." Davion suddenly laughed, causing both Danny and Joanna to look at him weirdly.

Davion turned around and put his hands behind his back and said while looking at the sky, "It seems like you have not completely lost your mind in vengeance. I just wanted to see what decision you would make."

He sounded like an expert who had experienced a lot of things in his life.

"Father, you sound cool." Danny praised him, causing his mouth to twitch.

Nonetheless, he didn't bother him and continued.

"I am impressed that you chose me before vengeance. Thus, I will take you in. However, just forget about that elder as he is far more powerful than you. Even I am an ant infront of him. I am telling you all this for your own good."

"I know but.." She was about to say something when he cut her off.

"If you really want to fight him, then I will allow it if your cultivation base surpasses me. Not only that, you can leave me and do whatever you want. So, until then you can serve and repay me while not worrying about being restricted all your life."

"Really?" Her eyes lit up. With her bloodline, she was confident of excelling him after cultivating for a few more years.

"Ok! I'm gone." He waved his hand and left the scene.

"Thank you, Master." She respectfully addressed him and laid there on the ground while closing her eyes. Danny could see a red and green-colored aura gathering around her. Indeed, she was cultivating.

"Humm, so boring. Ryland is also busy." Danny shook his head and went to his room. He wanted to play with her, but it seemed like she was tired.

"Hehe, it sounds odd being called a Master. It looks like she has a good impression of me. Maybe she might become more loyal to me." He chuckled as he began checking the remaining rooms.

Among the six rooms, he had allocated two rooms to Danny and Ryland. As for the other four rooms, they were the guest room, cultivation room, bedroom, and lastly an empty room.

Since he was familiar with the other rooms, he went straight to the empty room in curiosity. The moment he entered he saw a square-shaped pattern on the ground. He could feel a slow flow of Qi inside this pattern. In addition to this, there was a red jade slip floating in the middle.

"Is this a formation?" He walked in the middle and put his right hand on the jade.

"This.."

Instantly, some useful information about the core disciples poured into his mind. A few seconds later, he withdrew his hand and was in deep thought.

"Like the inner court disciples peak, the core disciples have their own library, battle hall, the exchange hall, and the mission hall. But they don't lie in this peak but at the bottom of the elders' peak. They would also be provided with monthly benefits. However, it is only a single Soul Qi refining pill."

"If you want more then you can only get them from the exchange hall with experience points. Moreover, there is a strange rule here. It is compulsory for every core disciple to take at least one mission a year."

"This rule makes sense. After all, the core disciples mainly stay in seclusion for a long period of time. So, someone has to take the mission."

"There is also an interesting thing here." He channeled his spiritual energy into the jade, and the pattern below him lit up. Next, a projection appeared from the jade.

There he could see the Mission written on the top and a few tasks listed below.

"The missions at this level are very rare and there are even times when there is not a single one. So, this formation prevented the disciples from taking the trouble to go all the way to the mission hall just to see whether the tasks were available or not."

"Due to the devil invasion, there are quite a few missions here. All of them are related to devils too." He glanced at these tasks carefully.

"Humm, perhaps I should take one when I have time. Firstly, I will visit the library. There are many things I have to learn." He put on his mask and left the courtyard.

However, he hadn't even walked a few steps when abruptly he heard someone calling him out.

"Senior Brother!"

He glanced there and saw a young man approaching him.

"Ethan, why are you here?"

"Senior Brother, how could you forget the enemies you have killed?" Ethan reminded him.

"Eh! Did those weird tattoos get investigated already?" Davion exclaimed. He couldn't believe it could be so fast.

"Aww.." Ethan put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.

"How can you forget that we can earn contribution points by killing them?" Ethan explained.

"Oh!" Davion was busy with experience points that he forgot about the other type of point.

Seeing him remembering it, he said, "I took those two bodies back and got 20000 experience points. But how could I take them when it was you who had taken care of those enemies?"

"Is that so?" Davion was amazed. He couldn't imagine he got so many points from them. He remembered Elder Nelson mentioning devil kings were worth up to 10000 points. This was obviously for the peak ones.

"However, the ones I killed were only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage." While he was thinking, Ethan had already taken out his token and displayed his points.

"Let me give it to you, Senior Brother," Ethan smiled.

"Are you giving it all to me? I think you also took the trouble to fight them." Davion reasoned.

"How could I be this greedy? I'm here to thank you properly for saving my life." Ethan took out a bottle containing a blue pill from his spirit ring.

"This.." Davion didn't recognize it.

"This pill is called a cleansing pill that helps to remove the impurities contained in one's body. It will also improve your physique," Ethan explained.

"Isn't this expensive?" Davion questioned.

"Indeed. It is double the price of a Soul Qi refining pill. It is actually made by my Master to especially reward you," Ethan answered.

"Then I won't be polite." Davion accepted it as it would be rude to reject an elder.

A couple of minutes later,

Davion stood there with a smile on his face.

"I can now exchange for pills and level up immediately. Who could have thought that I would be rich in the blink of an eye?"

"Time to go." He hadn't even taken a single step when he heard another voice coming from above.

"Senior Brother!"

He glanced upward and saw a beautiful woman descending from the sky.

"Milia?" He called out as she was one of the disciples whom he had rescued today.

***

Time passed by from seconds to minutes and minutes to hours. Yet, Davion had still been standing there.

"The sun is setting.." he sighed as he looked in the distance.

"Phew, so many treasures." He was carrying a lot of them in his arms.

"Let's put it back and return." When he was putting them in his spirit ring suddenly some beautiful jades dropped from his arms.

"Humm! When did I get this?" he picked one of them and injected his spiritual energy into it.

"MY GOD!" He became stupefied with the information inside it.

"Senior Brother, aren't you tired of cultivating all day? Why don't we take a break tomorrow and have some fun outside? I will be waiting for you in the Ramsbury Star Restaurant at noon."

"-Milia"

Then he looked at the other jades on the ground and had beads of sweat on his forehead.
