“If you are loyal to me, you too can have these Talismans in the future,” Leo said as he threw out a big promise.
He knew that threatening people was a low tactic, and offering them benefits was the way to go. After all, people were always looking for personal gain and would only do things willingly if there was something in it for them.
Of course, Leo wasn’t lying when he said this. Once he advanced to the Spirit Sect realm in the future, he could create Void Storage Talismans.
Leo’s words brought joy and anticipation to Serene Dark and others who had previously held animosity towards him. They now believed him without question.
Leo continued by throwing out the second bombshell, “Although I possess the Spirit Jade Vein, considering the credit Iron Sword Sect has in its excavation, I can create a formation within it. As long as you cultivate within the formation, your cultivation speed will increase by at least five times.”
“Increase cultivation speed by five times!?” Theodore, Serene Dark, and the others were once again shocked and overjoyed.
For those who had witnessed Leo’s extraordinary abilities, they firmly believed his words at this moment.
What does it mean to increase cultivation speed by five times?
Simply put, one year of cultivation would be equivalent to five years. For Martial Cultivators with limited lifespans, this was an incredible blessing.
“Mr. Bloomer, are you truly willing to create such a formation within Iron Sword Sect?” Theodore’s voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
If they could cultivate at five times the usual speed, even without Leo’s assistance, Theodore himself could break through to the higher level of the Warrior Sect Realm within one or two years.
If there had been a hint of hostility from Serene Dark and the others towards Leo before, that hint of hostility vanished from their hearts when Leo mentioned creating a formation to increase cultivation speed by five times.
On the elders’ faces, there was only excitement, anticipation, and a longing for their own breakthroughs.
Once Iron Sword Sect possessed a formation that could increase cultivation speed by five times, it was almost certain that they would ascend to the top-tier Martial Arts Sect within ten to twenty years.
“I always keep my word. I can now go to Iron Sword Sect and create the formation for you, while also curing Elder Serene Dark’s illness,” Leo nodded.
Upon hearing this, Serene Dark sincerely performed a martial ritual to express his gratitude, saying, “On behalf of Iron Sword Sect, I thank you, Mr. Bloomer.”
“Let’s go. Take me to Iron Sword Sect.”
“Yes, Mr. Bloomer!” Theodore replied respectfully.
Before following Theodore and the others, Leo looked at Jason and said, “Uncle Pater, I will visit Iron Sword Sect, and when I return, I will also create a formation within the Pater Residence.”
After all, the Spirit Jade Vein had been discovered by the Pater family, and now that Leo had obtained it, he naturally couldn’t disregard the Pater family’s interests.
“Thank you, Leo. I will await your return at the Pater Residence,” Jason responded, his politeness turning into respect.
Jason watched Leo ride the Iron Sword Sect’s Golden Eagle as it flew away from the scene.
The Golden Eagle’s flying speed was incredibly fast, but sitting on its back, Leo felt only a gentle breeze, as if an invisible protective barrier blocked most of the wind.
Sitting beside Serene Dark, Leo surveyed the land below and said to him, “Elder Serene Dark, extend your hand. During this time, I will give you a detailed pulse diagnosis.”
“Thank you, Mr. Bloomer.” Serene Dark’s face lit up with joy as he quickly extended his hand to Leo.
Leo placed his hand on Serene Dark’s pulse and simultaneously entered his body with a strand of his consciousness, exploring the detailed situation inside him.
After a minute, Leo removed his hand.
“Mr. Bloomer, how is Elder Serene Dark’s condition?” Theodore, sitting behind them, couldn’t help but ask.
Serene Dark looked at Leo with hopeful eyes. The burning pain in his chest had tormented him for a long time, making life unbearable. Now, he finally saw hope for a cure.
Leo calmly said, “Based on my pulse diagnosis, Elder Serene Dark seems to have suffered a backlash of internal energy during his forced breakthrough into the Warrior King Realm. To avoid falling into demonic cultivation, he took a highly potent elixir with strong side effects, which resulted in the lingering pain in his chest.”
Serene Dark nodded eagerly, “Every word Mr. Bloomer said is accurate.” Serene Dark held even greater admiration for Leo and became more convinced that he could cure him.
Theodore asked again, “Mr. Bloomer, is this lingering condition of the Grand Elder difficult to treat?”
“Not difficult. Does Iron Sword Sect have a reserve of Spirit Medicine?” Leo inquired.
“We do,” Theodore nodded in response.
Leo continued, “When we arrive at Iron Sword Sect, I will start refining a pill called Maple Red White Dew. This pill can cure Elder Serene Dark’s burning pain.”
“To refine Maple Red White Dew, we need a Spirit Medicine called Frost Dew Rejuvenating Grass as the main ingredient, preferably freshly excavated. Does Iron Sword Sect have it?”
“Frost Dew Rejuvenating Grass?” Theodore pondered for a moment.
He was aware of Frost Dew Rejuvenating Grass, a very rare Spirit Medicine. It seemed that Iron Sword Sect’s medicinal stores did not have it.
On the other hand, Serene Dark was overjoyed, “We have it! A month ago, in the forbidden area behind Iron Sword Sect’s mountain, I killed a spirit beast and obtained the Frost Dew Rejuvenating Grass guarded by the beast. I then transplanted it with the soil intact into my backyard.”
Apart from his cultivation, Serene Dark’s greatest hobby was gardening. Whenever he encountered a plantable Spirit Medicine, he would transplant it into his backyard.
Serene Dark couldn’t help but secretly rejoice in his good luck.
Seeing Serene Dark smiling like a child who had just received a lollipop, Leo also smiled, “With Frost Dew Rejuvenating Grass, it will be much simpler to refine Maple Red White Dew.”
After more than ten minutes, Theodore pointed forward and said, “Mr. Bloomer, Iron Sword Sect is located in the mountain peak ahead.”
Leo followed Theodore’s finger and indeed saw a towering mountain peak in the distance.
Except for the snow-covered peak, the rest of the mountain was lush green, with abundant vegetation.
As the Golden Eagle slowed down and descended, various well-arranged ancient buildings appeared in their line of sight on the mountainside.
On the martial arts training ground, Iron Sword Sect disciples could be faintly seen practicing their swordsmanship.
The two Golden Eagles emitted sharp cries and began to descend.
In just over a minute, the two Golden Eagles landed on an extremely spacious martial arts training ground.
There were hundreds of Iron Sword Sect disciples practicing swordsmanship under the guidance of two elders.
The disciples formed a square formation, and when they executed their sword moves, their aura merged harmoniously.
Most of these disciples had reached the higher level of the Warrior Sect Realm, and some outstanding ones had even reached the Warrior General and Warrior Venerable Realm.
It was evident that Iron Sword Sect had a solid foundation.
The appearance of the Golden Eagles caused the disciples to stop their movements simultaneously, and their gazes turned toward the backs of the two Golden Eagles.
“Greetings, Sect Master! Greetings, Grand Elder!” The disciples shouted in unison, their voices resounding loudly.
