With this thought in mind, I looked at Amber Skye, nning to ask if she could bring me to meet this old immortal.


    Before I could speak, though, Amber whispered, "Too bad this old immortal is really awful, using his powers to bully us every day."


    "Oh?" I raised an eyebrow.


    Something suddenly urred to me, and I nced at the herbs in the basket.


    "Are these herbs also meant for that old immortal?" I asked.


    Amber looked startled and said, "How did you figure that out?"


    I waved my hand without giving her an answer.


    It looked like this so-called old immortal wasn''t all that strong.


    If he were, these herbs wouldn''t do much to help him.


    "I''lle with you to bring the herbs tonight," I said.


    Amber''s smile grew wider, and she nodded eagerly, "Okay!"


    Then I went with Amber to keep collecting herbs.


    When evening came, we both headed back.


    Amber seemed extra cheerful, talking constantly as we walked.


    I, however, stayed pretty quiet, just nodding here and there.


    We returned to our ce, and I ate dinner with Amber like always.


    The vige food was consistently great, and everyone had their roles.


    Some picked vegetables, others went hunting.


    After we ate, they sang and danced as usual. This time, I didn''t hurry off and stuck around to enjoy myself.


    When the fun ended, everyone needed to catch their breath.


    "Little Queen, has the old immortal been giving you troubletely?" Right then, an old man from the vige came up to Amber.


    Amber said quietly, "He...hasn''t been bothering me."


    "Really?" The old man''s brow creased, looking doubtful.


    When Amber stayed silent, the old man sighed, "I''ll have another word with him tomorrow."


    "Okay!" Amber nodded and said, "Uncle Jacinto, we''ll head back now."


    After saying goodbye to Uncle Jacinto, I walked back to our ce with Amber.


    Once we got there, Amber bundled up the herbs like always, getting ready to take them to the old immortal.


    It was ten at night when Amber finally finished packing.


    "Are you really sure you want toe along?" Amber asked carefully.


    I smiled and said, "Absolutely, I gave you my word. Let''s go."


    "Yes, yes!" Amber nodded with excitement.


    We both left the house and walked toward where the old immortal lived.


    On our way there, I spread my divine sense around the area, looking for the old immortal.


    After some time, I finally located him.


    "A Grandmaster?" I couldn''t help raising my eyebrow.


    While this level meant nothing to me, it really was top-tier among regr people.


    "It''s just up ahead." Amber pointed toward a house nearby and said.


    She said worriedly, "Whatever happens next, you...you can''t say anything, okay?"


    "Fine." I agreed without much thought.


    Amber made a small sound, took a deep breath, then walked toward the old immortal''s ce.


    I followed her inside.


    The moment we entered, I saw a bald old man.


    This old guy sat with his legs crossed on the bed, hands pressed together like he was meditating.


    "Old immortal, I brought the herbs," Amber said quietly as she set the herbs beside him.


    When he heard Amber''s voice, the old immortal opened his eyes.


    "Who''s this guy?" The old immortal looked straight at me.


    "He...he''s my friend." Amber exined.


    The old immortal made a soft snorting sound and said, "Fine,e here and rub my back."


    Amber''s face tensed a bit, and she nced at me instinctively, looking ufortable.


    "What are you waiting for!" Right then, the old immortal suddenly yelled, striking Amber''s face with a p from where he sat!


    Amber, hurt, held her face and started walking toward the old immortal.


    But right then, I grabbed Amber''s arm.


    Amber looked surprised, staring at me with confusion.


    I didn''t look at her. Instead, I stared coldly at the old immortal and said, "You old bald fraud, you''re pretty good at faking being divine and pulling tricks, calling yourself an old immortal. I think you''re just an old bastard."


    When he heard this, the old immortal became furious!


    He red at me coldly and said, "Showing disrespect to me means showing disrespect to heaven. I have to punish you for heaven''s sake!"


    With that, the old immortal, staying in character, threw a p toward me!


    But the energy he sent out didn''t even get close to me before it disappearedpletely.


    "When there are no tigers on the mountain, monkeys be king. You''re just a Grandmaster, but you dare to show off, bullying innocent people," I said coldly.


    The old immortal''s expression shifted slightly, and he narrowed his eyes, saying, "You actually understand Grandmasters? Looks like we''re both cultivators. My friend, I suggest you stay out of this."


    "Mason, you...don''t make him angry, it''ll bring problems..." Amber whispered.


    I sneered, "Problems? To me, he''s nothing but a dog or a piece of trash."


    The old immortal felt very insulted and said, "My friend, watch what you say. I''m showing you respect as a fellow cultivator, but don''t push your luck."


    I ignored what he said and replied coolly, "You must have gotten hold of some treasure, right? Give it to me, and I might think about letting you die painlessly."


    A sh of fear showed on the old immortal''s face before it quickly turned icy.


    He slowly stood up from the bed and sneered, "Since you know this much, I can''t let you walk out of here alive."


    "Kid, let me demonstrate a Grandmaster''s strength today!"


    With his shout, the energy around the old immortal started climbing fast!


    Then he made fists and packed his Inner Strength into them, throwing them down at me violently!


    "Mason, watch out!" Seeing this, Amber panicked.


    She instinctively rushed in front of me, trying to block the punch with her body.
