Chapter 519: On the Path of Cultivation
he seaside, where the Mermaid Clan mastered the art of salt-making. She wanted to exchange some for it, as salted meat and vegetables could be stored for much longer.Mēng and Dú listened to Liàn Yī's..."My father has prepared some common medications for me, but I would like to invite a pharmacist to accompany us there."
During our trials, we found valuable herbs that the alchemist could process at any time. Our own potions also run out sometimes, and that's when the alchemist can use local ingredients to create suitable potions, saving us a lot of time. What do you think
Ripple explained it anyway, after all, they were traveling together, and he would respect Leah's opinion.
"Lian, you've thought this through very carefully. I have no problem with it. I'll go to the place you said."
Leia smiled and nodded, satisfied that Lian respected her and made a clear explanation about this.
A party of four set off towards Angert Town. Reya's attendant was Gray, a Golden Knight and a knight raised by her family from childhood. He was extremely loyal to her.
Ripple still carries the temperament of a mage, Laye is a mid-level mage, just right to complement Ripple. Most importantly, he's very good at taking care of people, which allows Ripple not to worry about some trivial matters during her training, it's very much to her liking.
After leaving Lava City, they didn't walk quickly, and there were many pedestrians on the road. The two of them occasionally exchanged a few words, mainly Leiya asking, and Ripples answering.
Leia was curious about the relationship between Emilio and Lian, so she asked Ripple directly.
Ripple, sticking to the idea of not harming girls nor taking advantage of Emilio, explained their past very clearly. This actually surprised Leia a bit.
After hearing about the Rodman family's dirty laundry, Leia hesitated for a long time before finally speaking:
"Lotus, this time I specially formed a team with you to go on an adventure, it was arranged by both families. They want us two to have the opportunity to get along, and when we come of age, they might even arrange for us to be engaged."
"I know about this, my father told me! But I refused, and I know you don't have any special feelings for me. You seem to like my brother Emilio."
Ripples rode a horse, speaking the truth.
Both of their attendants followed closely behind, eyes straight ahead and unwilling to hear their young mistress and master discuss such matters.
When I first saw him, I was attracted to your older brother. But through these past few days of contact, I realized he's only trying to compete for my attention towards you. He doesn't like me as much as he appears, and he treats me more like a younger sister. Even if I can't marry him, he doesn't want Lian and I to be together.
Leiya's light brown eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as she smiled at Lianyi.
A ripple touched her lips, a subtle smile. She felt a pang of emotion, "Leia is a clever girl, truly. No wonder she's the family's prized protégé."
"You know all about it! He definitely told you a lot about me before you left, even hinted at some things, didn't he"
Ripple flicked her silver whip and continued,
He said you've never met your own mother since birth, and this training journey is estimated to go to the Eastern Continent to see the Lian family. He hopes I can accompany you.
Leia said with a smile.
"Poof!" The ripples couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. He glanced at Leia on the horse beside him, not angry but nodding in response:
"If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered to go to the Eastern Continent. Since you mentioned it, we'll go visit the Lotus family after I finish my training in the Western Continent."
Leia glanced at Ripple from the corner of her eye, sensing that she seemed to know something, yet still agreed to go to the East Continent. This piqued her curiosity, but she knew pressing further would be futile. She decided to change the subject instead:
"Lotus, we need to speed up, or else we'll be left out in the cold when it gets dark."
After finishing his words, he patted the silver-armored horse's rump and charged ahead. Grey nodded to Ripple as a sign, and then followed closely behind.
La YYe, however, urged her horse forward and reached out to take the reins of Lian Yi's silver-armored steed, also increasing her speed. But she didn't overtake Leah and the others, and at the same time, she raised her hand and opened a magic circle, encasing both of them within it.
"Young master, this Lyra is truly deep-thinking. She used such a way to hint you go to the Eastern Continent. Not only did she fulfill the request of the eldest young master, but she also cleared herself of any involvement."
La Ye hates girls who are so calculating. They're barely adults and already scheming about people.
She is very clever, using our brothers' discord to create more conflict and making herself less passive.
Ripple said nonchalantly.
"It's laughable, the Honey family is only a second-rate family, how can they be compared to our Rodemans! She even dares to provoke a fight between the two young masters, what does she think she is"
La Ye's face was not looking good.
"It doesn't matter, perhaps they have higher aspirations. Let's just go with the flow."
Ripples said dismissively.
The rest of the way, the two tacitly agreed not to mention the topic again, mainly talking about the requirements for choosing a pharmacist.
After five days of sleeping rough, the four of them had covered half the distance. On the road towards Anglet town, there were more people around.
"Get out of the way! Move! My beast is going wild!"
A seasoned boy shouted loudly, causing everyone on the road to get out of his way.
With a sweep of her violet ripples, she immediately discovered that this was a commoner. His contracted phantom beast was an ordinary wild ox, probably a phantom beast that assisted in farming. It belonged to the first-order phantom beasts.
At this time, the brown buffalo's eyes had turned red, it spread its four hooves and ran wildly on the road. When it encountered an obstacle, it would use its own horns to ram it open, seeming extremely ferocious.
People on the road instinctively avoided this situation, and no one stepped forward to stop the enraged wild bull.
And running frantically behind the behemoth, shouting, should be its owner. Only now, the young man can't even recall his phantom beast, he can only anxiously call out loudly, to prevent pedestrians from getting hurt.
"Laji, stop that rampaging beast!"
The ripples grabbed the reins of the steed, then stood firm and addressed La Tie.
Yes, young master!
La Ye used her heel to kick the warhorse's flank, transforming into a silver light and charging out. At the same time, she acquired a magic staff in her hand, hurling five small magical formations towards the Bull Beast while charging. The formations directly trapped the Bull Beast within them.
The fierce ox was oblivious to its predicament, still charging headfirst. This time, however, it met a wall. Its horns struck the magic circle, producing only sparks, but it could not advance another step.
This enraged the Bull Demon, its hooves grinding incessantly on the ground. Its crimson eyes fixed on the magic formation before it, stubbornly continuing to ram upwards, refusing to give up.
Seeing the Rhinoceros beast under control, Lian Yi arrived at the magic circle and dismounted her silver armored horse. She looked at the strong rhinoceros beast, which was about as tall as a person, and intuitively felt the size of this magical creature.
"Thank you, young master, for your help. You helped me control the rampaging phantom beast!"
The boy, gasping for breath, rushed over and blushed as he thanked Ripples.
"Why is it going crazy"
“I don't know! It was fine before, I went to cultivate new land today, everything was normal at first, who knew it suddenly started to get restless and agitated, then it rammed around, almost knocking me off my feet. But I couldn't pull it back into the beast space.”entity, she avoided meeting him in public places. So when she went to the cafe, she chose a corner with curtains separating her from others.When Zhang Xuetao arrived, he saw that the clouds and rain w...
