The Man’s Decree

Seeing that Jessica had said as much, Jared could only nod in acquiescence. “All right, then. We'll set out in two days.”

He did not tarry long since it was already late at night. Getting to his feet, he left. But no sooner had he stepped out of Flaxseed's room than he heard Jessica's cry of pleasure once more.

A faint smile curved his lips. Flaxseed's fighting capabilities are average, but he's unrivaled in bed!

The next day, he gathered the medicinal herbs Deragon Sect and Axton sent over.

Although the heap of medicinal herbs was a whopping cultivation resource to others, he was not sure whether they were enough to help him break through to the Ninth Level Greater Martial Arts Marquis.

Subsequently, he took out the Divine Cauldron.

“Activate!”

With a casual flick of his hand, a golden burst of flame shot out of his palm. On the heels of that, it was seemingly drawn in by the Divine Cauldron and promptly slipped into the cauldron.

Meanwhile, the heap of spiritual plants flew into the Divine Cauldron, one after another.

Crackle!

A series of crackling sounds came from within the Divine Cauldron. In the blink of an eye, the medicinal herbs were devoured by the spiritual fire and liquified into a medicinal concoction before solidifying into pills.

In no time, the bunch of medicinal herbs had then turned into a dozen gleaming energy condensing pills.

At the sight of the pills, Jared started popping them into his mouth without the slightest hesitation.

The efficacy of energy condensing pills was incredibly high. Coupled with the refinement by the Divine Cauldron, it would undoubtedly be far more effective than absorbing the medicinal herbs directly.

As he swallowed them one by one, the spiritual energy within him surged. Even his skin emanated a radiant light.

He could sense himself drawing increasingly closer to becoming a Ninth Level Greater Martial Arts Marquis.

Two days later, bursts of terrifying aura came from his room.

While the resources he needed to break through to each minor cultivation level were several folds or even dozens of times more than others, his boost in capabilities and the grandeur of his breakthroughs were also tremendous every time.

At that very moment, the aura he exuded was distinctly much more powerful despite only having broken through until the Ninth Level Greater Martial Arts Marquis.

“Jared has broken through again!”

When Godrick sensed the petrifying aura shooting out of the man's room, his eyes brimmed with envy.

Slowly stretching out his hands with the palms up, Jared saw them glowing vaguely with a faint light. Alongside the amplification of his capabilities, his physical body had also grown stronger.

By the time he walked out of his room, Flaxseed had long since been waiting for him.

“You've broken through again, Jared?” Flaxseed asked with delight written all over his face.

“Yeah, just a minor cultivation level,” Jared answered placidly.

“It's even more evident when you break through a minor cultivation level than others doing so for a major one!”

Following that comment, Flaxseed chortled before he added, “Aren't you going to bid your lovers farewell?”

“No, it's okay. I don't want to worry them.”

Jared shook his head in response.
