Chapter 112: Ruby's Request

Zefyr wasn't surprised; he was used to receiving all sorts of gifts from cultivators who wanted him to join their organization.

Just as he was about to throw the pill bottle in one corner of the space, his eyes landed on the few notifications that he had received.

[Zenith Immortal had accepted your friend request.]

Below the notification was the message sent by David.

A little intrigued, Zefyr went through the message with a smile on his face.

It was his junior Zenith Immortal who sent him this bottle.

At this time, David was sitting in his room with his legs crossed.

In the next moment, he brought out red-colored paper from storage and set it on fire.

The paper slowly burned, and long tendrils of smoke similar to snakes started to emerge in the air.

They danced and cradled around David for a long time, sometimes coiling around his legs and other times rubbing their small heads against his chest.

It was only after five minutes that the snakes disappeared.

The red paper wasn't normal but a paper made after crushing the bones of Heaven Defying snakes.

Heaven Defying snake was a weakling monster only at Body Refining Realm, never able to reach the Foundation Building Realm in its lifetime.

But this wasn't the reason why it was called Heaven Defying. It was called Heaven Defying because it could defy death once by forcefully reversing its fate.

David had bought the paper from the streets in hopes of increasing his luck.

After the smoky snakes disappeared, David got up and looked at his body closely. There was no change.

He even brought up the status report to closely examine everything.

The status report looked exactly like the last time with only minor changes.

"Maybe my approach is wrong," David thought after closing the status window.

"I should focus more on decreasing the luck of my investment targets than increasing my own luck," David's thoughts moved like lightning as he pondered.

If he succeeded in reducing the luck of people like Bearer of Azure Light, then it would be all worth it.

That is why he had started paying more attention to objects which were influencing something as intangible as luck.

Sadly all his attempts seemed to be in vain.

But he wasn't entirely hopeless either; his most reliable bet was the Crystallization of Life that he extracted from Sophie's soul.

However, when he thought about using it, he only saw multicolored lines appearing on the horizon and nothing else.

While David was pondering, he suddenly felt a white thread forming and attaching to his body.

Seeing the appearance of the white thread, David smiled.

It looked like the first step of his multi-pronged plan could be considered complete.

Now he just needs to wait for the Bearer of Azure Light to die.

Thinking up to this point, a grin had unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Welp! Time to meet up with others."

It was already time for him to meet with Sebastian and others and discuss important matters.

As to what his relationship with these monstrosities really was, although he trusted the bank's control over them, one can never be cautious enough.

He also brought a brown long coat for himself from the bank shop to meet the SmallSun village aesthetic taste.

After taking one last look at himself in the mirror, he walked out of the room.

In no time, he appeared in a huge open space filled with beautiful yellow flowers that were in full bloom.

Cultivators temporarily residing in the Inn happily chatted with each other; David was even able to find couples doing lovey-dovey things behind bushes. In the center of the huge space, some competitive cultivators were sparring with each other vigorously.

Mary and others had already arrived before him and were patiently waiting.

Sebastian seemed to be playing with a ball of flame in his hands, clearly experimenting with some alchemical ingredients.

Some distance away from him sat Ruby, as usual, with her eyes closed. Given how she cultivated all day, David was sure she was going to be the first one to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

Bam! Suddenly, a fist striking something soft and fluffy resounded in the surrounding area.

"You stupid duckling! All day wasting time acting arrogant and can't even understand such a simple thing." Mary's voice, filled with anger, was heard by everyone; she looked like an angry lioness as she fumed.

Crystal-like droplets of tears had appeared in the corner of Borrito's beady eyes, but he didn't cry.

No matter what, he was going to learn this so-called formation, Borrito steeled his heart and thought with determination.

The blow that day seemed to have hit him hard where it hurt, forcing Borrito to work hard.

"Sebastian, You wanna spar?" David asked, playing with a yellow flower in his hands.

The discussion could wait; first, he needed to spar with Sebastian to gauge his progress.

Hearing David's words, the fire in Sebastian's hands suddenly disappeared. However, just as he was about to nod,

A cold voice that seemed to freeze the warm atmosphere suddenly sounded.

"I will spar with you." Ruby had gotten up from the ground and looked at David with her cold vermillion eyes devoid of any emotions.

More than anything, David was surprised, not expecting her to suddenly take the initiative to spar with him.

In the next moment, David nodded at her words and started walking toward a relatively open area away from the crowd.

Mary and Sebastian also followed them from behind.

They also wanted to see how David would fare against someone ranked third in the whole world.
