"Mr. Raymond...he''s in Capital City..." Ximena Santos mumbled in confusion.


    Ximena had no clue that Mason Raymond hade back, so she figured he was still in Capital City.


    "Capital City..." The Martial Saint''s brow creased at this news.


    He threw Ximena to the side and then stepped toward Star.


    "Mason Raymond is in Capital City." He faced Star and spoke seriously.


    Star''s face darkened as he snorted coldly, "Mason Raymond is in Capital City? We have to track him down right now!"


    ...


    Right then, I was searching for Mabel Sean.


    Up ahead in this Mystic Realm stretched a massive forest filled with endless trees.


    Past the forest sat a residence.


    The ce looked pretty rough, but it covered a decent amount of ground.


    Spotting the residence ahead of me, I felt quite shocked.


    Because it looked just like any regr house, really basic.


    "This must be a Mystic Realm built by some powerful cultivator," Spike Viktormented beside me.


    I gave a nod, "Yeah, doesn''t seem like a sect."


    In this huge Mystic Realm, only this single dwelling existed. Besides it, just forests and mountains stretched everywhere.


    "Turning such a massive Mystic Realm into a home, that''s really... over the top." I couldn''t help but let out a sigh.


    Spike Viktor said next to me, "It is over the top, but this kind of Mystic Realm isn''t actually that huge."


    I stared at Spike Viktor with shock, "Not huge? There are even scarier realms than this?"


    Spike Viktor chuckled, "From what I''ve studied about Mystic Realms, the top-tier ones can be treated as actual worlds, they don''t even need to rely on our current world to survive."


    I couldn''t help but swear under my breath.


    The cultivation path really goes on forever. Just how insane the power of a truly elite cultivator must be, you can barely wrap your head around it!


    I shook my head, these matters were way too distant from me. What mattered most right now was breaking into the Martial Saint Realm as fast as possible.


    After that, Spike Viktor and I stepped into the house.


    The moment we walked inside, we spotted Mabel Sean doing some cleaning.


    When Mabel Sean saw mee in, she hurried over, "Where is Lord Pavilion Master?"


    I shook my head, "She... didn''t make it."


    Mabel Sean didn''t push for more details, just nodded.


    Then Mabel Sean and I cleaned up the ce from top to bottom. This way, we had somewhere to stay.


    During my downtime, I took a long breath, feeling the qi flowing from every direction.


    "In this kind of setting, I should be able to reach the Martial Saint Realm fast," I thought to myself.


    Right as I was thinking this, my sight went ck all of a sudden, and I coughed up a spray of fresh blood!


    Seeing the rming sight of fresh blood, Mabel Sean''s face instantly filled with panic.


    "What...what happened? Did you get hurt?" Mabel Sean studied my face, checking me over.


    I wiped the blood from my lips and shook my head, "No, it''s an old injury."


    "Old injury? What do you mean?" Mabel Sean asked, her eyebrows drawing together as she stared at me coldly.


    I had no option but to fill Mabel Sean in on what went down.


    "Once I break into the Martial Saint Realm, this injury will fix itself," I told her.


    Even so, Mabel Sean''s face stayed full of concern.


    After some time, Mabel Sean suddenly spoke up, "Then, show me how to cultivate."


    I was caught off guard and then grinned, "Alright."


    Mabel Sean had blood that drove all the Mystic Realms crazy. If she started down the cultivation road, her potential would be endless!


    The Capital City Martial Arts Association and Alberto Sean had imed that if Mabel Sean began cultivating, it would be an extremely risky move!


    In the yard, I was showing Mabel Sean the proper way to breathe in and out.


    In just thirty minutes, Mabel Sean had picked up this breathing technique.


    The qi around us was flowing into Mabel Sean''s body like a flood. Her aura started climbing at an incredible rate!


    I was blown away by what I saw.


    This speed, even I couldn''t match it!


    "So quick..." I couldn''t help but whisper.


    Spike Viktor, standing nearby, also went wide-eyed, shouting, "Why hasn''t the Sean family ever let her cultivate... this... this is just throwing away talent!"


    As Mabel Sean practiced her breathing, her already pale skin turned even whiter, and an ethereal quality appeared, making her look like a celestial being.


    A few minutes passed, then Mabel Sean opened her eyes.


    Blinking, she asked carefully, "Did I get it right?"


    I snapped back to reality and quickly nodded, "Yes,pletely right..."


    "You better not be lying to me," Mabel Sean said with a pout.


    A wry smile spread across my face.


    "Put it this way, your cultivation speed is making me feel pretty stressed," I said with a helpless shake of my head.


    Spike Viktor, from his spot nearby, also gave a thumbs up, saying, "Really Miss Sean, even in cultivation, you''re amazing!"


    Thepliments from both of us made Mabel Sean feel a bit shy.


    "Maybe I... should cultivate alongside you?" Mabel Sean suggested.


    "Absolutely!" I replied with an eager nod.


    Then, not wanting to waste more time, I pulled out my supplies from the Spatial Magic Artifact and started cultivating.


    For me, the Dark Heart and Ice zed Heart gave the quickest absorption.


    So, I purposely chose a different location from Mabel Sean.


    I held the Ice zed Heart above me, slowly drawing in the Qi it gave off using the Heaven Swallowing Skill.


    ...


    ——


    Divine Alchemist Pavilion.


    Saumel Baton, with two Martial Saints at his sides, stood in the center of the courtyard.


    He looked around before calmly ordering, "Bring the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion out to meet me!"


    The Third Elder stepped forward, scowling, "Who are you? What do you want with our Pavilion Master?"


    Saumel Baton nced at him, replying, "You don''t have the right to talk to me."


    Just as the Third Elder was about to argue back, one of the Martial Saints behind Saumel Baton lifted his hand!


    The Martial Saint gave a casual squeeze, and the Third Elder''s body suddenly contorted!


    A crushing force made the Third Elder''s bones crack loudly!


    Soon, the Third Elder''s body curled up, his internal organs under enormous pressure!


    "St!"


    In mere seconds, the Third Elder''s body had turned into a spray of blood!


    The scene made everyone there gasp and step back, their faces full of terror.


    Saumel Baton said dismissively, "Go get the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion to see me! Or don''t me me for the consequences!"


    "You came to my Divine Alchemist Pavilion and murdered someone without cause, there''s no excuse for that."


    With that, the Pavilion Master appeared and walked over from a distance.


    Seeing the woman approaching him, Saumel Baton''s eyes lit up with desire;


    He couldn''t help licking his lips, a sleazy smile forming on his face.


    "I didn''t think the famous Lord of Medicine God Pavilion would be such a gorgeous woman," Saumel Baton said with a lecherous grin.


    The Pavilion Master''s eyebrows knitted slightly, her voice icy, "What brings you to my Divine Alchemist Pavilion?"


    Saumel Baton cleared his throat lightly and said casually, "I''m hunting for Mason Raymond. Do you know his whereabouts?"


    "I have no clue, but he''s definitely not at the Divine Alchemist Pavilion," the Pavilion Master answered, her tone distant but firm.


    Saumel Baton sneered, "Everyone knows you, Pavilion Master, have feelings for Mason Raymond. Even if he''s not here at the pavilion, you''d surely know his location."


    "Speak up. Don''t make us get rough."


    As he finished speaking, the two Martial Saints behind Saumel Baton stepped forward.
