Flaxseed and the others no longer needed to lift a finger; they merely waited for the haul to be brought out.
“Jared, you're getting better at grandstanding every day. When we head to Bloodshadow Palace next, how about letting me show off?” Flaxseed called out with a broad grin.
Jared glanced at him, smiling faintly. “Mr. Flaxseed, is it because you know that everyone in Bloodshadow Palace happens to be a woman?”
“I know nothing about that—I just want my turn to show off!” Flaxseed hastily shook his head.
“Fine, you can take point, but I'm worried you'll hesitate when the opponents are all female.”
“Relax—when have I ever balked at dealing with women? I'll charm them first, and if they still refuse to surrender, I'll finish the job. It'd be a shame to waste the chance!”
Flaxseed ended his words with a lecherous chuckle.
Destiny Sect had stood as a big sect for ten millennia; its hidden foundations ran unimaginably deep.
Before long, the group unearthed the sect's treasure vault inside the mountain's heart.
The vault's massive doors, wrought from ten-thousand-year mithril and layered with intricate arcane wards, shattered like glass when Jared flicked his wrist.
As the heavy doors swung open, everyone froze, awestruck by the spectacle within.
Celestial gems lay in miniature mountains—high-grade, supreme-grade—each heap casting dazzling rays of multicolored light.
Every wall bristled with magical items: flying swords, mystical armor, formation plates, charms—an endless armory of power.
Neatly aligned jade boxes filled shelf after shelf, each cradling rare mystical herbs and pills, several containing ten-thousand-year spiritual medicines already on the verge of gaining sentience.
“Good heavens... how many resources is this?”
Flaxseed swallowed hard, his eyes threatening to pop from their sockets.
Even Jhaelyn and Jemina—accustomed to plenty—had never glimpsed such an ocean of wealth; shock spread across their faces.
Jared strode into the vault. His gaze swept the treasure trove, yet his expression scarcely changed.
To him, these riches, while precious, mattered only insofar as they could hasten his ascent in strength.
With a lazy wave, he opened the Pentacarna Tower, and the vault's contents began streaming inside in a ceaseless torrent.

Josephine's first time seeing Jared kill isn't with Leyton but with Falcon. Pay attention to your work....
You need to correct yourself,dear author. Josephine was in the City of Herbs when she was a kid, so why is the city's smell surprising to her?...
I need more chapters...
When can I get the next chapter...
