Chapter 567 - Unbelievable

Back in the Demon Beast Region, Rean and Frandin met up with the others again. Malaka, Qia, and Roan seemed to be doing well, while Calina and Agis were quite injured. However, it was easy to understand why. Roan could still heal others much better than Calina could with her Water Element. Naturally, both sides ended up in that condition after being apart for several days.

Rean quickly took the chance and healed them before explaining everything that happened in the city. He also took the Rank Two Spirit Stones out and shared them with everyone. In exchange, Roan and Calina took out all of the Demon Cores they got and passed them to Rean. He could sell them later in the next city. That way, Rean wouldn't be the only one having to hold the burden of grabbing cultivation resources for them.

"Here, you can have 200 of them."

Frandin looked at the bag in his hand with the Spirit Stones with his eyes wide open. Why would he give Spirit Stones for his enemy?

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Hmm? Isn't that obvious? It was because you also worked a lot during these past days in the city. Without you, I wouldn't be able to get these things. Just consider it your payment."

"That's not what I mean! Why would you give Spirit Stones to your enemy? You do know how I feel about humans, right? Although your group is different, you're still humans. I truly believe that you're ahead of me in cultivation because you lived in a better world, that's all."

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

"Of course! However, you will at least have a reason to do well every time we need to enter a city. Isn't it better to know that you can obtain some advantages by helping us?"

"Aren't you afraid of me using it to find a way to escape?"

"Hahaha! You can go ahead and try. Even if you succeed by some miracle, it's not like it'll be an issue for us."

Frandin narrowed his eyes as he said.

"How could it not be an issue? I could tell everyone about the fact you came from ano-"

It was then that Frandin found a problem.

"This..."

Roan faintly smiled as he looked at Frandin.

"It seems like you noticed the problem here. That's right, who would believe that we came from another world? Chances are that everyone will think you're an idiot for believing this story. As far as we've seen, no one knows that other worlds exist to start with. In fact, can you guarantee that we're not fooling you? Could we really have come from another planet? Or could it be that we're from another part of this world instead?"

Frandin's expression turned ugly for a moment. Sure enough, if someone came to him telling such a story, he would laugh right in front of the face of that person. Like hell, he would believe that.

"Sigh... I guess I might as well make good use of these Spirit Stones."

However, Frandin couldn't help but feel a little excited. Even when he was Danve City's Young Master, he rarely ever got any Rank Two Spirit Stones at all. But lo and behold, he got 200 of them in just a few days. For his cultivation, that was a heaven-defying change. If only he wasn't their hostage...

Of course, compared to the amount of Spirit Stones the others got, he was quite far behind.

"Sigh... so little Spirit Stones, and only Rank Two ones at that. It seems like we're in for a hard time from now on."

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"Don't complain. It took me quite some time to get it, you know? However, we should obtain a lot more when we reach Kastran City."

"Kastan City?"

Rean and Roan nodded before passing the jade slip with the continent's map to them.

"Kastran is the next big city on our way to Tuvaro. We're planning to stop there to make a few things."

Fradin bitterly smiled when he heard that. First, they considered those Spirit Stones 'too little,' which hurt his feelings. Second, it seemed like he would have to keep up his act for them again.

Malaka couldn't help but ask.

"What do we need to do in Kastran?"

Rean was the first one to answer.

"In my case, I need to practice to become an Earth Peak-Level Formation Master. That's why I bought this robe. Also, I need to break through to the Earth Peak-Level Blacksmith rank as well. I have a ton of Peak-Level Materials, but I can't use them for forging yet due to my level."

Roan agreed with Rean.

"I also want to head to that place's Alchemist Guild to grab a few recipes. I want to see how this Frigid Clear Pill is made. Perhaps I can make more of these pills for other affinities."

Qia pondered for a bit and nodded.

"That's good. Rean and I are at the same level as Formation Masters, so we could help each other in breaking through."

Agis narrowed his eyes before saying.

"In that case, I guess I can try out my Talisman Skills once again."

Rean, Roan, and Malaka were taken aback.

"You have a side occupation? You? Are you sure you're not hallucinating?"

Agis's mouth twitched as he asked in response.

"What the hell do you think I am?"

"A prideful idiot who wants others to do everything for himself."

Agis felt like crying after hearing that. However, it was true that before that fated day, he was exactly like that. However, being saved by twins, who had cultivations smaller than his own, was a huge blow to him. That's why he changed his ways. It's just that he had always been out of the Dalamu Sect with his Master, so others didn't know what he was up to. It turned out that Agis had some talent for talismans, so his Master had him practice it during his free time.

"By the way, what level is your Talisman Drawing at?"

Agis looked away as he scratched the back of his head.

"Earth High-Level..."

This time, Rean, Roan, and Malaka's faces froze. It was as if they had heard something unbelievable! Naturally, Agis noticed their expressions.

"Do you really need to be this shocked? Fuck you!"
