Chapter 187

Roughly after an hour .

Jackson woke up finding himself still in the carriage . He looked around and heaved a sigh of relief for that but the hatred in his heart surged as he subconsciously shouted out,

"Damn you old fart!

"

The guards outside were useless, the butler had fainted and he didn't bring his protector from his family because he was going to meet Imryll .

He continued to curse in his mind till he found the sight of two imagery crystals .

'Is that what I think it is?' A faint hope and wishful thinking emerged on his mind as a thought but he didn't dare to keep pondering on it .

He quickly grabbed the imagery crystals and viewed it .

As soon as he found out that it was he thought, he turned jubilant .

He then continued to check and found no clues of that old fart in it .

Heaving a sigh of relief, he said,

"Old fart, since you are not ruthless, I will leave this matter at hand, but if you dare provoke me again, don't think you're going to get lucky!

"

Crack!

Tightening his grip, he broke the crystals until he confirmed that there were no other pieces of evidence left .

Then he took the letter that was below where the imagery crystals had been placed .

"You young one should consider yourself lucky that you've met a morally upright bandit . If it were any other bandit, I'm sure that they would have even sucked the wealth of your whole family . That said, as the old fart that you endear, I should leave some advice before leaving .

"

"No matter what, you young ones should consider three things . . . What to do? When to do? And where to do? If not, you'll meet people like me . . .

"

Jackson had veins erupting on his forehead as he silently cursed,

"You shameless old fart!

"

. . . . .

By the time Jackson woke up, Davis had already given back the horse he had rented, plus, he returned to the inn without the disguise as if nothing happened .

If they followed his trail, they'll only be able to follow him to the horse he had rented, or the alley he had changed his disguise .

From there, it'll be challenging for them to locate him, and by the time they find the inn, he would've already left . That is if they've managed to find his trail surprisingly in the first place .

"Let's see what we have here . . .

" Davis grinned while sitting on the bed .

He was now the embodiment of a child eager to open a gift box to check its content .

Davis injected his energy into the spatial ring . He had long formed a blood connection with it as Jackson voluntarily removed his mark before handing it over to him .

Davis was visibly surprised and could see why Jackson was a genius despite coming from an Earth Grade Family .

Looks like the thing he said about raiding the tomb of a Sixth Stage Expert wasn't entirely false .

The spatial ring had a storage space of 800 cubic metres and had a lot of stuff in it .

Davis could guess that this was a High-Level Sky Grade spatial ring by considering its internal storage .

Looking at the contents, he felt rich .

At one side of the space, he saw some thumb-sized transparent, colourless stones .

"Spirit Stones!

" He exclaimed at the amount .

There were around 48 of it lying around in the space .

"So many . . . What else? I sensed a high-grade medicinal ingredient before, ah, there it is . . . Hmm? What herb is this?

"

Davis pondered while looking at the green herb with white spots that were in a jade box . It gave off a very pure aroma that heightened his senses .

He couldn't find the name of this herb with his knowledge . Sighing gently, he thought to himself wryly, 'Looks like I have to increase my knowledge by reading books again . . . '

Like that, there were other ingredients of various grades which he couldn't identify . There were also some that he could identify but they were all of High-Level Earth Grade or less .

There were plenty of materials that could be useful to refine weapons as well but he wasn't sure about that since he was no blacksmith .

He then scanned a direction to find a table that was stacked with books . He spread his sense around and read the title of the books .

Alchemy Tier - 1, Alchemy Tier - 2, Alchemy Tier - 3 Basic, Alchemy Tier - 3 Advanced, Alchemy Tier - 4 Basic . . .

Blacksmith Tier - 1, Blacksmith Tier - 2, Blacksmith Tier - 3 Basic, Blacksmith Tier - 3 Advanced, Blacksmith Tier - 4 Basic, Blacksmith Tier - 4 Advanced, Blacksmith Tier - 5 Basic . . .

"Oh, was Jackson aiming to be an Alchemist and Blacksmith at the same time? Commendable indeed . . .

" Davis casually commented and continued to read,

"Oh, we have Cultivation Manuals here . . .

"

Storm Piercing Sword Manual, Mid-Level Sky Grade, Energy Condensation Cultivation Manual .

Heart Mountain Manual, High-Level Sky Grade, Body Tempering Cultivation Manual .

Eclipse Soul Moulding Manual, Peak-Level Sky Grade, Soul Forging Cultivation Manual .

These three were the highest grade cultivation manuals he could find . The Heart Mountain Manual was stronger than his Tyrant Body Secrets but it was not worth changing his cultivation technique right now .

Storm Piercing Sword looked like a wind-lightning energy cultivation manual but when he skimmed it, he found it only to be a wind energy cultivation manual .

Finally, the Eclipse Soul Moulding Art .

Davis took it out and read it as he squeezed his forehead .

'What the hell is this?' Davis couldn't understand heads or tails of it .

His understanding of the soul was that shallow despite his Soul Forging Cultivation . Unless someone explained it to him, it would take a long time for him to decipher it .

That said, he was able to at least gather some information from it .

Like, he needed to get an Eclipse Soul Bug, a Magical Beast of Sky Grade to cultivate it .

"Tch, useless!

" His mood turned for the worse but continued to view other cultivating manuals .

They were all good but didn't catch his eye . Suddenly he stopped and took a book out that was filled with shady inscriptions and drawings .
