Chapter 3330 Do Not Steal It
Jared stood silently before the trove tree in Victor's backyard.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
It looked very ordinary, and even though people often passed by the yard, no one ever cared to take a second look at the tree.
The glint in Jared's eyes, however, was of absolute envy. After all, the trove tree had grown while absorbing celestial energy and was now practically bursting with it.
Oh, my... If I could absorb every last drop of celestial energy from this tree, I might just be able to break through Body Fusion Realm! There's spiritual energy everywhere in this Ethereal Realm, but pure celestial energy is as scarce as a hen's teeth. In any case, using celestial energy for my cultivation would be way faster than using spiritual energy!
With that, Jared took a deep breath. Ah... The trove tree is surrounded by an arcane array to keep its celestial energy from leaking. That said, an opening must've appeared, which allowed me to pick up on the slight energy traces. Otherwise, I'd never have paid any attention to this plain-looking tree!
Just then, Hamish and Victor walked into the yard. "This tree of mine was transplanted from Mount Crimson. When I first discovered it, a skeleton was buried underneath, and it most likely belonged to an immortal who died during the Celestial Battle. The tree then grew by absorbing the dead immortal's celestial energy, which explains why it's filled with so much energy now..." the latter explained.
Since Jared already knew the trove tree's uniqueness, Victor realized there was no longer a need to hide its origins.
After hearing it, Hamish turned green with envy. "You have amazing luck, Victor. I've walked through Mount Crimson many times, yet I've never chanced upon a treasure like this or even a celestial beast."
"Celestial beast, huh..." Victor muttered with a smile. "You'd better not run into one if you don't want to be eaten. Given your abilities, you won't be able to take them on."
"Mr. Jablonski, can I use something else in exchange for your tree?" Jared asked.
Oh, I really want the tree... I want to absorb all of its celestial energy!
Victor shook his head. “No. There's nothing I'll exchange it for. I'd have given you the tree if you managed to cure my niece. Alas, she has already recovered, so there's no way you'll get your hands on it.”
A smile tugged at Jared's lips. "Don't say that. For all you know, I might still have a chance..."
"I suggest you drop the idea of
stealing my tree. You don't have that
capability, nor would you be able
leave Salirisburgh City," Victor snapped, thinking Jared was
vel.n
planning to abscond with the trove
tree.
“I, Jared Chance, have never been one to resort to such underhanded means. When the time comes, you'll be offering me the tree willingly," Jared said before returning to his room to rest.
“Hmph. How arrogant..." Victor scoffed, not at all caring about Jared.
This punk is just a Body Fusion Realm cultivator and a junior alchemist. If it weren't for Hamish, I'd never have let him stay at my place!
The next day, Hyrum concocted a pill and sent it directly to the Jablonski residence.
Filled with utter respect for the man, Atlas personally welcomed him.
"I made this pill overnight, Mr. Jablonski," Hyrum said as he handed Atlas a black pill. "You may give it to Ms. Jablonski. Once she has consumed three of my pills in succession, I guarantee she will be fully cured."
Carefully accepting the pill, Atlas beamed with joy. "You're truly impressive, Mr Goeckner. I can't believe you managed to concoct this pill so quickly," he praised. "Sadly, there aren't many alchemists of your caliber in Ethereal Realm. Most of them are nothing but charlatans! Just yesterday, a young man dropped by and claimed to be an alchemist. However, he kept insisting that Effie was poisoned and that you're a Demonic Cultivator, Mr. Goeckner. He even said there was a demonic aura inside Effie. How ridiculous!"
