Chase said, “I need you to help me find two items. They're the Centennial Blood Root and the Sky Spirit Flower.”Even though Scarlet said that the Centennial Blood Root and the Sky Spirit Flower were last seen in Rochester, there were no other details about them.Rochester was Waylon’s territory, and Chase would be able to find out more about them.Waylon immediately exclaimed, “You’re here for the Centennial Blood Root too?”“Do you know where it is?” Chase’s eyes lit up.Waylon looked at Warren and nodded. He said, “The Centennial Blood Root will be up for auction tomorrow in Rochester. The auction is at ten in the morning at the Ancient Medicine Hall.”“The Ancient Medicine Hall?” Chase frowned.“That’s right.”Waylon said, “The Ancient Medicine Hall is the leading source of Rochester’s medical herbs market. Its owner is called Brad Gunther. He’s known as Rochester’s Medicine King. More than a thousand people are working under him as specialized medicine gatherers. "They'r
The look on Warren’s face changed as he said bitterly, “That’s true. As the ancient martial arts family in Rochester, the Gilligans look down on everyone as if they're divine power. I heard that their Supreme Elder is a true master of martial arts. If they have their eyes on the root, Master Collins will return empty-handed."“Regardless, it’s still an opportunity. Let’s hope that Master Collins is as formidable as the rumors say he is," Waylon shook his head and said.…At Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No. 1, Bianca led Quinn out of the car.“This is where Mr. Collins stays, Quinn,” Bianca smiled as she said.Quinn looked up and she stared at the best villa in South River City with a complicated look on her face.Memories began to flood her mind.She remembered the first time she met Chase. Chase had come knocking at her door with a marriage proposal.Quinn had felt repugnant at the mention of this engagement and openly looked down on Chase.When she wanted to help cure her grand
Julia froze and quickly reached out to pull up the sleeve on Quinn’s left hand. She immediately saw a small birthmark on her wrist the size of a bean.She pulled Quinn into her arms the next moment and sobbed. “It’s really you, Quinn, it’s really you…”It was her!Julia would never make a mistake!She was the one who found Quinn in a wooden basin by the lake back then and saw the red birthmark on her hand.“I’m so sorry, Miss Julia. I’ve been so useless. I wasn’t able to find you all these years…”“Don’t cry, my child. I’m fine. I’m happy enough that I get to see you now…"They hugged each other and cried. Even Bianca's and Rebecca’s eyes were red from witnessing their reunion.Scarlet, who was in charge of Myra’s safety, came downstairs when she heard the commotion and asked, “What’s going on?”Julia snapped out of it and pulled Quinn up to stand. She sobbed and said, “Come on, Quinn. Come… Come with me to see Myra. She… She might not make it.”Quinn quickly hurried upstairs
“Yes, I am.”“Little Rocky has taken up too much burden over this. I… I’d like to help him.“Besides, I need to take responsibility for Myra’s condition too. I’m her sister, after all," Quinn said with determination.Bianca frowned and said, “I heard that Rochester is huge and quite a complicated place. How are you going to find Mr. Collins when you have no idea of his exact location?“Moreover, you’re a woman who will be there on her own. What if you get into danger?”Quinn nodded. “I know. That’s… That’s why I’d like to borrow that bracelet on your wrist. Don’t worry, I’ll give it back to you in one piece when I return," she pleaded.Bianca lowered her head to glance at the bracelet on her wrist. There were only three beads left on it. She hesitated.This was her birthday gift from Chase, and it was very precious to her. It had even saved her life.She was not willing to give it to anyone else.Quinn smiled helplessly when she noticed this. “It’s fine if you aren’t willing.”
The lecherous man took out his phone and made a call. He said a bunch of things to the person on the other side of the call.It was not long before a sexy-looking middle-aged woman came over with a cigarette in her mouth.The lecherous man whispered something in her ear and pointed at Quinn, who was some distance from them.They discussed a price, and Gail Fansworth accepted a thousand from him before crushing her cigarette and heading toward Quinn.Quinn was munching on her bun when someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder.She turned and saw Gail smiling widely at her. “Are you Fifi’s little girl, Sasha?”“I think you must be mistaken,” Quinn replied with a frown.“That’s impossible. I’ve met you before. Aren’t you Sasha Frink?” Gail asked in a whisper.“I’m really sorry. You really are mistaken. My surname isn’t Frink,” Quinn replied coldly.“Are you sure? I’ll only believe it if you let me see your identification,” Gail refused to relent.Quinn held her temper as she s
The next morning at around 9:30 am, Waylon's car stopped downstairs at Chase's hotel. When the passersby recognized Waylon, they were astonished. However, they were more curious as to why he was there. He looked as if he was waiting for someone. Soon, they saw a young man coming out of the hotel. Even though he was dressed casually, he had an extraordinary demeanor.“Master Collins!”Waylon and his group immediately lowered their heads in respect.“Let’s go.”Chase glanced at the astonished crowd and stepped into Waylon’s car. As they watched Waylon leave with Chase, the crowd erupted.“Gosh, I can’t believe Waylon was here to welcome that young man!”“Not only that, it seems like Mr. Hayes even respects him a lot.”“I can’t believe this…”The passersby kept discussing among themselves.…As the car drove on the road, many luxury vehicles would make way for Waylon upon seeing his exclusive number 10000 license plate. Inside the car, Waylon looked at Chase with reveren
Chase grunted a reply and did not say anything. The beef between the elite families in Rochester had nothing to do with him. He only cared about the Centennial Blood Root and Sky Spirit Flower.Waylon hesitated before speaking, “Master Collins, I heard that the Gilligans will also fight for the Centennial Blood Root. So, I think your journey might not go as smoothly.”He thought Chase might have some reaction after hearing this.However, Chase responded calmly, “It’s fine. I’ll just kill the Gilligans if they dare to go against me.”Chase’s tone was so calm as if it was something normal.Upon hearing this, Waylon shook his head.After all, the Gilligans were a prestigious ancient martial arts family, and it was rumored that they had a true master of martial arts watching over them. Master Collins’ words seemed a bit boastful.20 minutes later, they arrived at a large and ancient-looking estate. Waylon told him this was the headquarters of the Ancient Medicine Hall. The entranc
Chase looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man and a woman walking toward him with a look of surprise on their faces.It was Elena and Kevin. Their eyes were filled with disbelief as they looked at him. Chase had beat up Waylon’s son, Jordan, at the Dynasty Club last night.They thought Chase was done for, so they left early without even hesitating.However, they did not expect Chase to not only be unharmed but also show up at the Ancient Medicine Hall unscathed.“Chase, y-you’re fine!” Elena bit her lip in disbelief.She felt a little guilty. Her cousin asked her to take care of Chase, but she ran away with Kevin the night before, leaving Chase behind. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me,” Chase replied indifferently. Elena could not help but ask, “Chase, can you tell me how you managed to get Jordan to spare you?”“No.” With that said, Chase walked away, showing no interest in continuing the conversation with them.Elena frowned, feeling somewhat displeased. Sh
Yara initially wanted to explain that she was actually a woman—what did Willow even mean by "closeted romantic feelings"?Then she remembered her current male appearance and that no one except Tack and Chase knew her true gender and bloodline.Of course, she did not know that her private conversation with Chase had been eavesdropped on by Carla. All four masters from the Evil Shadow Sect and Nefarious Deity Sect were fully aware of her female identity.She was about to find another excuse when Chase spoke first, "She's actually a woman."He simply had enough of Willow and Lisa's gazes.To settle this issue once and for all, Chase had to sacrifice his teammate. "She told me she awakened the Phoenix Deity's bloodline. Phoenixes change gender with each rebirth."The phoenix is inherently unified. So the Yara they're seeing now is essentially hermaphroditic. Which gender she displays depends on her mood and will."Chase spilled Yara's secrets completely like beans. Yara stopped pret
Willow and the others were stunned after hearing this."It seems this is indeed the Holy Path, the place where the Light Divine Pearl slumbers."It's also the battlefield between the evil god Klondike and the 12 Primal Treasures, the guardians of this universe," Chase said solemnly, understanding the situation after hearing Yara's explanation and recalling his previous encounter with the Light Divine Pearl."Weren't they fighting in outer space?" Willow asked, confused."This is a battlefield specially created by the 12 Primal Treasures using their spatial abilities. It's not merely a simple planet," Yara explained.It appeared that her awakened memories were substantial.Chase looked at her thoughtfully. "So, there might be other primal treasures and ancient races existing here?""That's right," Yara confirmed."I wish I could be that strong too," Walter said somewhat enviously as he stroked the ancient dragon's bones."Hey, these dragon bones could be used to make weapons, r
Chase scanned the surrounding light pillars for potential dangers while answering Yara."Earth? So you really are a visitor from another world! I knew your background was extraordinary!" Yara exclaimed excitedly.From her perspective, if Chase was a visitor from another realm, his actions made perfect sense."Is your homeland like an immortal realm? Full of powerful beings who can move mountains and part seas?" she asked enthusiastically."Uh," Chase felt a headache coming on. "Actually, most people there are ordinary. Those like me are just a minority. Don't overthink it."After speaking, he made a gesture to silence everyone and pointed upward. The light pillar seemed to reach its end. Their destination was a planet!Chase had seen plenty of footage from astronauts landing. This situation resembled those scenes closely.Even so, how would they land? Would the light pillar deliver them directly to the surface?If the light pillar disappeared in the atmosphere, Chase's martial
Universal Element Priest looked at Clive, who had lost his sense of self, and shook his head helplessly.He used his vital energy to contain the poison and focused his mind. Spiritual light erupted around him as rows of mystical symbols appeared. Spiritual energy gathered instantly, churning like waves.Even the nearby teleportation door was affected."Boundless Heaven and Earth, Borrowing the Power of the Cosmos! Go!" As the command left his mouth, space-time fluctuated and distorted.Clive, who was on the flying vessel, sensed the danger. He suddenly accelerated toward him. His tentacles extended rapidly like an octopus, attempting to grab the gradually blurring Universal Element Priest.At that moment, the teleportation door suddenly burst with light, and countless light pillars radiated outward. They not only enveloped Universal Element Priest and his two companions but also wrapped around almost everyone in the arena below.Universal Element Priest discovered with horror t
Ford had always been a carefree person, but today his expression seemed off!"It was such an important match, and you were in the semifinals. How could there be no recording? Ford, don't try to deceive me!" Wren sternly warned Ford."If you deceive me, you'll get a spank—" Before he could finish, Ford covered his mouth. "Father, stop! I'll show you when we get back!"Compared to being spanked, Ford preferred letting his father see his strange cries during the match."Holy Lord Wren, I have a recording of your son's battle with Chase. Would you like it?" an unfamiliar female voice called out."Who's this troublemaking woman? When everyone else remained silent, why did she have to make herself conspicuous?"If I'm humiliated because of this, you'll regret it later, lady!"Ford's mind churned like tumultuous waves. He turned to see it was Tiana, the Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land!"I don't recall ever offending you," he thought bitterly.This was problematic. Though he was
Ford naturally would not mention that the fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique he had blocked earlier was considerably weaker than the current display.This was the art of conversation."That's not even his ultimate move?" Wren asked in surprise."No. He learned this from watching the Saintess Jade from Modest Lady Holy Land during their battle. He simply replaced it with his own fire-system vital energy and fireball technique," Ford answered with some admiration.It was well known that as the most talented Saint since the founding of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford typically mastered most techniques on his first attempt.He essentially memorized secret manuals after just one reading and was considered one of the most intelligent and insightful dragons in history.However, even for top-tier techniques like the Thousand Eyes and Flowers, one would certainly need some practice time to master it.Yet Chase had fought Jade just once, and seen her use the technique only once.
Chase stepped forward, standing in midair, and swept his right hand.The fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique activated, sending countless extreme fireballs like a rain of bullets toward Fallon and his group.The quantity, speed, and power far exceeded his previous attacks, yet Chase only utilized fifty 50% of his vital energy!Fallon's group furrowed their brows, their bodies tense as if facing a formidable enemy. The ancient Nefarious Spirit Giant Ape manifested behind them, crossing its arms in a defensive posture.Fallon's vital energy circulated at extreme speed, pushing its strength to the limit. His normally transparent vital energy shield became faintly visible, like glass emitting light.Carla muttered incantations as wisps of green smoke emerged, with faint green light circling around her body.Seeing this, Tack and Norm understood: Fallon and Carla were not deceiving them but were genuinely using their full strength to counter Chase's attack!The two were
"No way? Chase actually had another trick up his sleeve—he can still win the championship?""Tsk, tsk. Such skill and courage. Now he dares to challenge two city lords and their helpers alone. Those two dressed in red and green were also fighting toe-to-toe with the city lords earlier. This is going to be quite a show!""Damn it, it's like a furnace in here! Everyone, spread out unless you want to become roasted pigs!""Who are you calling a pig?""That's just a metaphor!"...Chase was shocked by his own attack. Yes, he surprised himself.He had only used 50% of his vital energy, intending to intimidate his opponent while testing the strength of this top villain from the nether realm.To others, the wall of fire appeared to rise gradually. In his perception, however, it manifested instantly.The gradual rise was because the power was too great, expanding bit by bit to accommodate more fire eyes.His control seemed fine, so why did it feel like he could not stop?After exami
Carla thought Chase must have an amazing sense of understanding and enlightenment. He was able to see through the essence of the opponent's technique every time he fought and used it. He was a genius.Facing Chase directly made her understand what real intimidation felt like.She was also Chase's target as she was standing next to Fallon.As the top mind and soul cultivator in the nether realm, Carla knew that there was no escape from Chase.Chase would immediately react the moment she made a slight movement.Carla had never felt such pressure before.It was terrifying.Fallon's heart sank when facing Chase.He had been careless.Chase was harder to deal with than Carla, Tack, and Norm combined.Fallon knew how powerful Carla was.The Evil Shadow Sect was good at using the mind and soul in fights, but they were not powerful enough when it came to direct attacks. The Nefarious Deity Sect was good at body refinement, corpse refining, and using Nefarious Deity to strengthen the
