Anthony furrowed his brows in confusion."What do you mean? You asked me not to take any weapons to avoid incurring their wrath. Besides, time is of the essence, I want to leave," Anthony replied in irritation, obviously fed up with the system's mischievous behavior."Short-sighted, are we? Do you know the kind of treasure trove they just delivered to you? It will be quite a waste not to take advantage of it all. If you take the weapons, they will immediately realize that something got missing. But if you learn the technique, how will they know you stole their techniques? You must quickly help yourself to them, all these are priceless techniques and formulas. No one needs to know you took them, unless you tell them of course. Even if you don't have suitable weapons to go with them now, it's still very useful. You can even chance upon compatible weapons to combine them with. If you come across a technique you don't like, just learn it and cram it, scan the information and store them in
The guards continued to laugh, pointing at his fingers, making Anthony follow the line of their fingers.His eyes settled on the Poison Lord's ring on his fingers. The beautiful jade ring was designed with pink diamonds and rubies, along with some intricate formations and patterns drawn on it, making it a perfect picture of artistic sophistication.It was obviously a woman's ring, one of the blings they use to beautify themselves."Look at that, he's obsessed with jewelry. His wrists and fingers are filled with shiny jewels. The ancestor told him to take any weapon he sees on the poison technique's altar, and he rushed to the beautiful piece of jewelry," a guard said, nearly crying from mirth."He's obsessed with shiny things, overlooking the useful weapons there. He must think that the ring is like his bracelet which the emperor took time to modify,""What else do you expect from an over pampered sissy? He's not lacking weapons anyway. I'm sure that his master can find him any weapon
Anthony looked carefully at the sumptuous meal before him, there was exactly one half of a full chicken, properly grilled,in the middle of the bowl of white rice decorated with peas. There was sauce, vegetable soups cooked with beef and offals, there were also light pastries and rice wine.'Is this what they call properly feeding and fattening the chicken before it's slaughtered?' Anthony mused, watching the heavy tray of delicious looking meals, with tantalizing aromas wafting out of them. The pastries looked like meatloaf, its filling was made with diced meat, carrots, leek, onions and pepper, and seemed to contain some fat that made it look chewy, it was a delicacy that Anthony can never resist under normal circumstances. He would have dived on it the moment he sat down if not for the discussion he heard.He took a deep breath and looked up at Bing Yu. She had a determined look on her face as if she finally came to peace with a tough decision.'Yeah right, I'm sure it must be hard
Bing Yu turned to Anthony with a speed that nearly made her neck snap. "Really? Can you really do that for me?" She asked, her eyes beating wildly in excitement."I'm not sure because I came alone. But he's a child, so I'm a little confident that I can carry him across since his weight is still bearable. But I wouldn't be able to take an adult along because of gravity, so don't get too hopeful. It can only be Mo Lan," Anthony quickly said, trying to dispel her infectious excitement.Bing Yu quickly got down on her knees before Anthony, hitting her head on the floor with a kind of force that made Anthony scream in shock."Please benefactor, take my son away from here. If you can help him get out of this hellhole, preserving his life and granting him better opportunities to excel, see the world and live life to the fullest, I will die a happy mother. I'm broken and helpless, our family has been singled out by brother Xi Wu for sometime, trying to frustrate us. I don't really mind it sin
Anthony listened to the chants of war and threats of death spilling from Xi Wu and his soldiers, his brain working faster than a mill."Young master, you have to wait till nightfall, I will try to stall them while you leave through our secret tunnel that will lead you to the farms. Bing Yu, sew dark green coats for them to act as camouflage. Or you can look for brown fabrics, the color of sand. Or black, hurry up," Chan Feng said, pushing them back inside.Bing Yu nodded and rushed into her room with shaky hands, hurriedly finding brown fabrics.She began to quickly cut them, injuring herself in the process.But she didn't notice the blood gushing out from the deep cuts on her fingers while panicking as she cut the clothes.Her husband noticed the blood flowing down her fingers and quickly rushed to her, tying a piece of cloth around it."Please be careful, stop hurting yourself. If you continue panicking, you will die of high blood pressure before we are even executed. Do not be afra
"You really want to take them out of here, don't you?" The system asked thoughtfully."Yes, how do I do it?" He asked firmly, filled with determination."You need to elevate two ranks of cultivation, broaden your spiritual sea, and toughen up your body's defense. And it's very difficult," the system said, making Anthony's heart tighten."What's cultivation?" Anthony asked in confusion."Those ranks and points you're seeing in the system like physical strength, mental strength, endurance, internal energy purity and density, when all of it is calculated, it gives you the aggregate measurement of the rank. In this world, according to the level of your current strength and abilities, you're in the mid-level saint realm. So if you want to take them away, you have to break through to high level saint realm, and subsequently enter the demigod threshold so that your body's toughness will be better suited to withstand the suction pressure when I try to transport you guys. If you're not strong
"Congratulations master, you have been awarded the alchemy god's pot," the system concluded impatiently, making Anthony rise from the 'dead'."You should have mentioned the pot first instead of frightening me," Anthony said resentfully."Hurry and set down an energy gathering formation, using the technique you just won," the system instructed.Anthony quickly began to learn how to set down the energy gathering formation, in five minutes he was done.Bing Yu and Chan Feng ran into the room when they felt the strong energy pouring down on their house. "Are they leaving already? I've not said goodbye to my son," Bing Yu whispered in alarm, rushing to the room.However, she saw her son still sitting peacefully at the edge of the room while Anthony was holding a red stone, while a circular space before him was swirling with energy."Are you about to leave?" She asked in confusion."No, I was told to break through to a higher rank If I want to take more people. So, I'm trying to force a br
The sounds of people hacking down on the fence became increasingly much, filling the three people with dread.Bing Yu rushed inside the room to check on Anthony, wondering why he was not yet done.Mo Lan stood beside the bags they packed in the central living room, fiddling with his fingers, obviously nervous.A huge thump sounded outside the walls, showing that the first layer of the eastern wall has been successfully torn down.Beads of perspiration ran down Chan Feng's body as he watched them tear down the outer layer, which was the stone wall. The inner layer made of bamboo and mud will be quick work since they already pulled down the main defense of the house.He forced his food down, trying to feign an 'I-don't-care' attitude, but his food was seriously choking him, no matter how much he tries to swallow it down.Soon the last vestiges of the sun disappeared, throwing the valley into a state of partial darkness, where you can no longer clearly see the lines of your palm.Chan Fe
