“James, I don’t think we should hand over the core. We should prepare a counterfeit in advance. After all, the enemy has never seen what a real Spirit Turtle’s core looks like,” Callan reminded. After a brief contemplation, James said, “But, what if they see through our tricks and start acting out?”“They won’t,” Callan said, “They’re determined to obtain the core. Until they actually get their hands on it, they won’t act recklessly.” Jackson chimed in, “Callan’s right. The Spirit Turtle’s core is too valuable. You can’t just hand it over to them. Don’t worry. We can definitely save the captives if the enemy is weak. After all, if they’re powerful martial artists, they would’ve come right for us instead of resorting to underhanded tactics like this.”Newton nodded in agreement. “Mr. Cabral is right.”After formulating a plan, they headed toward Mount Morinbourg. Mount Morinbourg was a day’s distance away if they traveled by car. Therefore, James decided against traveling by
“Where are they?” Jackson interrogated Finn. “I-In the mountains…”Finn was scared of death. He did not dare act recklessly. “Take me there.” “Y-Yes…” Finn stood up and brought Jackson into Mount Morinbourg.Meanwhile, the helicopter returned and landed on an empty plot of land. James got off the helicopter. Wearing an anxious expression on his face, he said, “I wonder if Mr. Cabral can save them.” Callan reassured him, “Don’t worry, Jackson’s the Sect Leader of the Mount Thunder Sect, after all. Dealing with a bunch of nobodies should be a piece of cake to him.” James nodded slightly and waited patiently. After about an hour, a few people approached. Quincy, Cynthia, Tiara, Scarlett, and Serena were there. The three vagrants were following close behind. Battered and beaten, they had bruises all over them. As Jackson was pointing his sword at them, they did not act recklessly. “James…”“James!”Upon seeing James, the women burst into tears.“James… Grandpa…” Se
Thea’s heart raced. “What’s wrong?” Seeing the expression on Thea’s face, James asked puzzledly. “Huh?” Thea hurriedly said, “I-It’s nothing. Let’s head downstairs to eat.”Then, she grabbed James by the arm and headed downstairs. James did not suspect anything. Downstairs, everyone from the Callahans gathered, including Lex, Howard, and John’s families.There were also many tables. The moment James descended the stairs, he immediately became the star of the show.Lex stood up and yelled, “Quiet down, everyone. I have a few words to say.” The boisterous living room fell silent. Looking at James, Lex said, “James and Thea have played a significant role in making the Callahans what we are today…”Lex tried to curry favor with James and Thea.Hearing this, James gave a slight smile.The New Year’s Eve dinner was lively. However, James ate only a little before heading upstairs. He wanted to go somewhere else quieter. Hence, he went to Thea’s room on the second floor
James explained his intentions to Thea. Upon hearing his explanation, Thea was slightly displeased. However, she did not refuse outright. Instead, she said, “Sure, go ahead.”Thomas once told her that only Cynthia could cultivate the martial art manual concealed in the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge with James. That was because she was born with a Yin body. Meanwhile, cultivating the 18-meridian diagram required the fusion of Yin and Yang. “Mhm.” James hung up the phone and headed to Cynthia’s house using the Callahans’ car.At Cynthia’s house… A group of people was happily chatting away. “Master, cheers!” Holding a glass of wine in her hand, Cynthia stood up. Callan took the glass of wine.At that moment, the doorbell rang.Cynthia asked puzzledly, “Who could it be on New Year’s Day?”She pressed a switch on the controller and switched on the TV. The surveillance footage appeared on the TV. Seeing that it was James, everyone got excited.Before Cynthia could s
The 18-meridian diagram consisted of a total of nine poses. Some were bizarre, while others were rather flirtatious. Cynthia nestled in James’ embrace. James placed his hands behind his back, while Cynthia hugged him and grabbed his hands. James concentrated to clear his mind of any impure thoughts. Then, he began catalyzing True Energy. After their Yin and Yang merged, the True Energy underwent a profound transformation. Its effects were dampened and had little impact on James’ body. Besides, this True Energy had the ability to restore and strengthen the meridians.Soon, the session was over. The two stopped. Blushing, Cynthia said, “I-I feel that my True Energy has become stronger.”James, who was feeling a warm, snuggy sensation throughout his body, said, “These poses are strange but also mysterious. They have the ability to heal my injuries. Judging by the speed of recuperation, I should be able to restore my strength in around fifteen days.” A fortnight was not consi
James and Cynthia were busy cultivating the whole afternoon. After an afternoon’s worth of practice, they had become increasingly familiar with the routine.As the circulation of True Energy produced heat, both of them were completely drenched in sweat. Hence, Cynthia removed her clothes, wearing only a thin undergarment.Although she was young, her figure was curvaceous. Her features were also fine and delicate.At that moment, the door opened. Thea walked in. Upon seeing James and Cynthia hugging each other, she froze.James could sense another presence in the room. Upon noticing Thea by the door, he panicked, which caused his True Energy to disperse. The sudden dispersion of True Energy interrupted the cultivation, and Cynthia and he immediately vomited a mouthful of blood. “Wh-What are you…!” Upon seeing how intimate the two were and the tight undergarments Cynthia was wearing, Thea was enraged. However, her expression remained composed. Walking in, she glanced at the
There were many analyses of ancient scripts on the internet. Not only that, but there were also many experts on ancient scripts who would work to decipher the meaning of an ancient script if given payment. Despite researching for so long, Thea had only managed to decipher a few words. She then found an expert on ancient scripts to help decipher the meaning of the ancient script. She found out that she was looking at things in the wrong order and messing everything up. With the help of an expert, progress was much swifter. However, as this concerned her future cultivation, she could not totally believe in the deciphering of a single expert. Hence, she reached out to several more experts to help her out. Then, she compared their findings. After realizing that the results matched, she breathed a sigh of relief. By the time she finished deciphering everything, it was already the next day. Thea found an excuse to head outside. Then, she drove to a desolate suburb and entered a m
Thea’s strength was now greatly boosted. She believed that James’ True Energy should have been restored by now. If everything went as planned, James would leave Cansington and head to the Capital tomorrow. “I’ll go look for James.” Thea did not linger for long. She simply turned to leave the villa and drove to Cynthia’s house. At Cynthia’s house… All this while, James had been cultivating with Cynthia. After two weeks’ worth of cultivation, his body had begun recuperating with the help of the nourishment from the fusion of Yin and Yang True Energy. His meridians had been strengthened, and he would no longer be afraid of the impact of True Energy. Meanwhile, his strength had slowly returned to its peak. In the room… The two were doing some strange postures. Two different cultivation methods and True Energy combined the two into a collective. With James’ help, Cynthia’s True Energy had also grown by leaps and bounds. In a short amount of time, she had crossed into the thi
