“Who are you? Where is this, and why am I here?” Blake questioned the individual.The old man just laughed and continued to swing his legs—this annoyed Blake for being ignored and stood there looking at the old man. He then picked up the apple on the ground and looked at it curiously. It was a golden apple that looked very tempting, so he took a bite. His mind was swarmed with all kinds of techniques of medicine and poisons. He could distinguish between medicines and poisons and use the Chinese acupuncture techniques with silver needles and finger acupuncture. Folk Medicines came to him not too dissimilar to Chinese Medicine, and the native used herbs and roots to cure illnesses. The more Blake ate the apple, the more knowledge he received. He could cure all types of diseases and ailments. When he finally finished the apple core, his head was swimming with all this knowledge, not wanting to lose any lifesaving methods he was receiving.The old man then jumped out of the tree and stood
Within Blake’s mind palace, another stone tablet with ancient writings appeared. These were the teachings of collecting Qi of the world within the body and opening his spirit channels. Blake didn’t waste any time and began opening his channels throughout his body, gathering spiritual energy and refining it into energy for the body. The method was broken into three stages: channel opening, energy refining, and spiritual gathering. Blake was a cultivator’s genius, and he comprehended the teachings and was immediately able to cultivate the energy around him.Blake then awoke from the enhancement, looked upon the three, and bowed. He knew the body temperament and cultivation method were gifts from the Great Elders.“Now that your mind and body are ready, we shall begin to give you the remaining inheritance. Gerald will bestow to you the alchemy and elixir formulas. As you get stronger and progress, more of the inheritance will be given when you are ready.” The Dragon said, looking up into
“So, Tabitha, what are your plans for today? Why don’t we go shopping and have a girl’s day out?” Sylvia asked Tabitha looking hopeful.“I’m sorry, Sylvia, but I will attend Blake’s parent’s resting place today, and then we have to return to Swanville.” Said Tabitha looking at Sylvia with a saddened expression.“You’re going to see Aunt and Uncle? I haven’t visited in a long while. Can I please join you, Blake?” asked Sylvia, startled when Robert slapped the table.“What’s the meaning of this, Sylvia? He is the head of the house now, and you will address him as Master or Young Master.” Robert was exasperated over his grandchild’s lack of decorum towards Blake.“Grandfather, it’s alright. I don’t feel comfortable being considered the Master yet, so Sylvia, it’s okay that you can call me by my first name if you want. We’re family and in private quarters, and I’m sure Sylvia knows the etiquette when we are out in public.” Said Blake looking at all of them. “And yes, you can accompany us
Alarmed by what he was witnessing, he placed his hands upon the center of their chest and guided the energy to form a sea of spiritual opening. The energy then started to stabilize. At that moment, both women opened their eyes and felt Blake’s hands on their chest.“Ahh, what are you doing, you pervert.” Screamed Sylvia.“Ahh, brother, please don’t.” Screamed Tabitha.Blake didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at that moment. All he wanted to do was to stabilize their condition. How could his actions be interpreted any other way?“I was trying to help you stabilize the power in you. If not, your bodies would have exploded with the surging of spirit energy.”Fright was on both of their faces when Blake explained what was happening.“Sorry, I thought you were taking advantage of us.” Said Sylvia, first with her head looking down.“Sorry, brother, it was all a misunderstanding.” Replied Tabitha with her head also held down.“It’s okay. You both are stabilized for the time being. You both
“Listen, you brat, I haven’t been the groundskeeper for many years, but I will not have you disrupting the harmony of this cemetery. Do you get that? So, I want you and your companions here to leave and don’t cause any trouble quietly.” The man demanded towards Blake.“Sir, I don’t understand why we would leave before visiting uncle and auntie?” asked Sylvia, looking right at the man.“My God, another one. Leave and ignore everyone you see here.” The man exclaimed with a surprised expression.“What’s your name? I haven’t seen a groundskeeper who is so rude to visitors.” Said Tabitha, who was getting annoyed by this man’s attitude towards them.“What is this? Can all three see and hear me?” asked the man, looking agitated now.Blake took a long look at the man before him and lightly pushed upon his shoulder. The man felt solid to him. Fearing that the way the man was acting was that he could be a ghost.“Dam, you can even touch me. Look, my name is Harrold Leeville. I was the groundske
“Father, what happened all those years ago? Wasn’t it just a car accident? It was unavoidable fate that took place.” Said Blake looking at his father’s back.“Yes, it was a car accident, but it wasn’t an unavoidable fate. We were murdered, my son. The breaks and accelerator, with the steering, were tampered with, they were unresponsive, and we went over the cliff.” Blake’s father finally said, sighing afterward.This revelation into his parent’s death was surprising to the three. Who would have wanted to murder Blake’s parents? True, Thomas was the oldest and would have inherited the family, but who would have been brave enough to cause Thomas’s demise?Blake had a stern expression when he heard his father’s explanation of the accident. ‘Why wasn’t it known that the car had been tampered with and that it was no accident but murder? Was there a conspiracy in the family, someone holding out on this information that could have placed someone high in the family at risk?’ These thoughts we
“It was a different time then. I had no choice in the matter, and you don’t know how my grandfather was back then. It was all for the sake of the family’s interest. Who’s to say they even remember this trivial contract between the two families.”Heather’s disdain for her husband’s actions was loosened, and then she smiled at him, seeing him in a pitiful state. She placed her hand on his cheek and kissed him on his lips.Seeing his parents showing their love for each other, Blake just smiled. The others couldn’t help but let out a small giggle at the loving couple.“I’m very proud of you, my son. You have grown into a wonderful man. With your accomplishments, your future is very bright. I have no more regrets about this life I had in the past.” Stated Blake’s father after their kiss and smiled at the three. “Blake, you’re responsible for these fine young women in your care, don’t let anything happen to them.”“Girls, please take care of Blake for me. He’s a bit headstrong sometimes but
Harrold stopped when Blake and the two women exited the cemetery before crossing the border.“Now, you mind your way. I will talk with them and try to calm them down. You should not come back unless you want troubles coming your way.” Harrold said to them as he turned back into the cemetery.“What now?” asked Sylvia as she watched Harrold walk up to the crown that had formed and approach them.“We leave, I have some things to discuss with grandfather during lunch, and then we need to head back to Swanville.” Said Blake heading back to the car.Getting back into the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Blake headed back to the estate, leaving the scene behind them. The silence was all that was heard until Sylvia struck up a conversation.“So, I was the one who saved your life back then. So that means you owe me a life debt.”“If I recall, it was due to my mother’s decision to leave me behind that saved my life.” Said Blake, not taking his eyes off of the road.“Buuut, it was because she couldn’t bear
