Death… And Me

Chapter 1440 - Back To Valantior

Roanʼs eyebrows rose a little when he heard that. ”Oh... you changed your thoughts pretty quickly, didnʼt you?”

Foliel looked at the pill in his hand before saying, ”You have no idea how many times Iʼve tried already. You could say that this is what it means to be desperate.” After saying that, Foliel took the pill and swallowed it.

Immediately, the pill melted in his mouth before the properties entered his stomach. From there, they spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every single meridian in his body. 

*Arrgh!*

It was then that an intense pain filled his meridians as if the Fire Element from the pill was burning everything in its path. ”Did you really poison me?!”

Roan shook his head, saying, ”Donʼt be such a kid. Itʼs just some pain, so bear with it. The healing properties should kick in in a moment.”

”He-Healing properties? Fire Element Meridian Stabilizing Pills donʼt have such a thing!” Foliel complained as the pain increased. He even considered using his spatial powers to leave this place as soon as possible before trying to get rid of the pillʼs effects.

However, just as he was about to do that, the healing properties really did appear. They washed over his meridians like a tide, quickly bringing relief to the pain. Of course, Foliel was still worried that the result of the previous attack would have permanently damaged his meridians. 

”This...” However, he quickly noticed that not only were his meridians fine, but the instability of the Fire Element due to overflowing in the past was quickly disappearing. Above that, it seemed like his meridians were gaining new life while the Fire Element further integrated with them. It was way better than just stabilizing his meridians. 

Foliel then calmed down and concentrated on letting the pill do its work. Pain washed over him from time to time, just to disappear a moment later through the pillʼs healing properties. It wasnʼt before ten minutes had passed that the pillʼs effects finally wore off. ”Phew...”

Foliel then tried to control his Fire Element and was able to tell that it was much easier than before. Better than that, his meridians could support a higher level of Divine Energy as well. ”What a wonderful pill. It did way more than I expected.”

Roan wasnʼt surprised by that. ”All the pills I make that have something to do with meridians have this rejuvenation effect in them. I didnʼt make it just for you.” Roan then warned Foliel and said, ”However, only a single pill shouldnʼt be enough to fully stabilize the Fire Element inside your meridians. You will need two more of them to get the best effect. However, donʼt take the second one right now. Give your meridians a few days to rest before you take the next ones. Same thing for the third. As for the last two pills, you can do whatever you want with them.”

Foliel took Roanʼs warning to heart. ”Kekeke! Very well. I will make sure to remember this.” He then looked at Roan, who didnʼt seem very concerned. ”Arenʼt you afraid I will flee with your pills?”

Roan snorted in response, saying, ”Itʼs one thing to use my background to threaten others. Our elders prohibited that. However, it wonʼt be a problem to use its name to get rid of some idiots who canʼt keep their own words. I just hope you wonʼt complain if your Citaxin Sect goes down with you.”

Foliel felt a chill on his back after that. He didnʼt know if Roan was telling the truth or not, but he definitely didnʼt want to risk it. Roan proved that at such young age, he was already that strong and was even able to concoct a batch of Golden High-level pills. Only an idiot wouldnʼt believe that Roan was just some random cultivator with no backing... well, that was exactly the case, but Rean and Roan wouldnʼt tell Foliel that. 

”Hmph! I wonʼt lie. If it was anyone else, I would have taken these pills with me straight away. However, in your case, I would rather not risk it, so here you go.” Foliel then took 11 Molten Divine Rock Flowers from his spatial ring, just like he mentioned he had before. In the end, it was still a very profitable deal. ”Now, I need to go back. You should also leave since Iʼm not the only Void Tempering Realm cultivator looking for these guys.” Without waiting for Rean and Roanʼs answer, Foliel used his spatial ability and movement technique to dart into the distance.

Rean quickly pulled the flowers into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and smiled, saying, ”That really helped a lot. I didnʼt expect to get the rest of the flowers through this deal.”

Roan nodded in agreement. ”In fact, we have one extra. In any case, letʼs get out of here first.”

The two then jumped on Kentuckyʼs back before the Minokawa flew high in the skies. This time, Kentucky went much higher than normal so that it would be harder to bump into any other cultivator, even those at the Void Tempering Realm. Thanks to that, the twinsʼ journey back to the settlement was smooth.

Rean and Roan didnʼt stay in the settlement for long, though. They quickly changed direction once again and flew back to Gaios City. Just like before, Kentucky and Roan were sent back into the Dimensional Realm, and only Rean took the teleport formation. Obviously, he used a different appearance once again.

The entire journey took around a week to be completed. That was enough, though. After all, Rean paid the hotel worker for two weeks. 

Back in the hotel, Rean reverted to his normal appearance. The worker was there as well, so he quickly recognized Rean. ”Welcome back, sir. Everything was kept as you asked.”

Rean smiled in response, nodding in satisfaction. ”Good. Here, these are for you.” He then gave the worker five Rank One Divine Stones, which was a lot for someone like him.

”If sir needs anything else, please let me know.” The worker then happily left after leaving Rean in his room.

Rean smiled and entered the room, where he found Falangia teaching both Luan and Rafatia how to write and read. 

However, before Rean said anything, Roan quickly came out of the Dimensional Realm. ”Seems like you did as I asked. Good.. Letʼs see how much youʼve learned.”
