The elder sister just shook her head and lifted her right hand as she rubbed the spatial ring that was on her finger, "Grandpa, this is the spatial ring you gifted me but do you recognize this?"
"That..." Agis Stirlander suddenly widened his eyes, "Is that the ’Explode’ Symbol!?"
Agis Stirlander recognized this symbol very well as this was rather a popular Inscription Symbol used for various purposes, even festive purposes. However, those ’Explode’ Symbols that were used for festivities were generally at lower grades.
The engraved Inscription Symbol that the spatial ring has is undoubtedly at the Sky Grade.
The elder sister nodded her head, "That’s right! If someone stole my spatial ring and removed my blood connection with it, then the spatial ring will explode but since this is a High-Level Sky Grade Spatial Ring, the resulting explosion will instead cause an implosion, causing the objects within to be lost in unknown space."
"In other words, no one can gain access to my spatial ring unless I voluntarily remove my connection with the spatial ring!"
"But! That Inscription Symbol would have cost you many Spirit Stones! Don’t tell me you squandered all the Spirit Stones I gave you to buy this High-Level Sky Grade Inscription?" Agis Stirlander asked with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
A High-Level Sky Grade Inscription Symbol would’ve cost somewhere around 50,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones. He remembered that he only gave his granddaughter 10,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones per year and it wasn’t even five years after he had reunited with his son’s family.
The elder sister shook her head, "This is something I bought with the wealth my benefactor rewarded me for being... helpful..."
Agis Stirlander looked as if he wanted to say something but didn’t. Instead, he said, "Alright, Grandpa won’t disturb you about the portrait anymore."
"How about your cultivation? Have you been cultivating according to my instructions?
"Yes, I have reached the Mid-Level Body Transformation Stage by using those attributed Spirit Stones you gave me." The elder sister smiled, clearly satisfied with her progress.
"That’s right, theoretically, any human would possess talent in at least a single Law. Hence, there are very few methods to invoke one’s potential. However, one’s lack of talent can be complemented by some resources, such as attributed Spirit Stones."
"If you are able to find such an item and check if you could comprehend from it well compared to other attributed Spirit Stones, then that means, you are talented in that certain Law."
"Fortunately, his highness the Third Prince had an array of various attributed Spirit Stones used to test one’s talent in Laws. With his grace, we obtained numerous Spirit Stones and managed to find out your talent in that specific law."
"But Grandpa, you still haven’t revealed what kind of law I’m talented in..." The elder sister pouted.
She didn’t even know what kind of attributed spirit stones she used other than feeling some kind of chill and pleasantness, hence, it became impossible for her to guess. It wasn’t like she had bloodline memories like Magical Beasts to be able to tell what kind of laws she comprehended.
In any case, the law that she comprehended was just at Elementary Level, hence, she wasn’t hasty in wanting to learn. Her grandfather had also told her to not look into it, hence, other than cultivating, she immersed herself in her hobby.
The woman looked like a beauty with above-average features and pale white skin but her calm and serene pupils told him that she had experienced many things in life. Her sole figure invoked a type of charm that made him want to protect her.
"How have you been, Alexi?" She ran her fingers through her brownish-red hair, displaying her pale white neck.
"Yes! It’s been six months, master!" Alexi Ethren reported with a smile on his face.
"By this time, I guessed that you would have had a breakthrough to the Law Sea Stage... guess I was wrong..." The woman smiled and said in a strange light.
Alexi Ethren became a bit guilty, "I have failed to meet your expectations, master..."
His master widened her eyes and then abruptly coughed out blood, even falling towards the surface of the floor as she continuously spat out blood.
"Master!" Alexi Ethren became aghast and quickly arrived beside her.
He then placed his palm on her back and supported her cultivation from becoming unstable.
At that moment he felt it!
’She’s constantly becoming weaker?’
The woman suddenly waved her hands at him and shouted in a solemn tone, "Don’t touch me!"
Alexi Ethren shook and took two steps back. He looked at his master with a complex expression on his face, knowing why she did not allow him to even touch her to save her.
Scenes from the past flashed through his mind...
[
"I was a prostitute once," The woman spoke coldly as she held a valiant yet bloodied sword in her hand, "I am nearing the end of my lifespan as my vitality is spent..."
Her entire figure made him, Alexi Ethren blink in awe as a sense of attraction invaded his mind even when he was heavily wounded.
At the same time, she turned to look at his miserable and bloodied figure, "However, you and I have something in common... Why don’t we help each other achieve our goals, young man?"
