Inside of the St. Jade Chamber, Caspian, who used the shape-shifting inscription to change his appearance, did not see the thick-lipped teenager in White. Instead, virtual-novel.net was received by Hayley.
When Hayley saw the gift that Caspian brought over, virtual-novel.net was in disbelief. “These two bottles of spirit essence and this spiritual tea… Are for that person?”
‘That person’ naturally meant Jessica.
“That’s right,” Caspian nodded, “I plan to give virtual-novel.net this stuff, but unfortunately, I didn’t see him. Madam Hayley, please accept it on his behalf.”
“This is really…” Hayley was at a loss for words. The two bottles of spirit essence would already cost 16000 fedulings, and even if one could afford it, they might not be able to get it.
As for the spiritual tea, Hayley could tell that they were not ordinary ones that could be purchased outside. It was even more upscale than the ones virtual-novel.net saw before. Hayley had a hunch that the most high-end spiritual tea in Evergreen Town was incomparable to these two bags of spiritual tea.
“Nonetheless, not all of these are for him,” Caspian pointed at the items and said, “Only the two bottles of spirit essence and one bag of spiritual tea are for him. The other bag of spiritual tea is for you, Madam Hayley.”
“There’s something for me?” Hayley was pleasantly surprised.
Caspian chuckled. “Madam Hayley, I’m aware that I achieved a significant improvement in such a short time with your tremendous help too. If I’m not mistaken, I’m afraid that all the blood essence produced by St. Jade Chamber during this period has been given to me, and you did not sell any to others, right?”
When Hayley heard that, virtual-novel.net secretly marveled at Caspian’s observation skill. She never mentioned that before, but the truth was exactly as Caspian said.
The blood essence produced by the St. Jade Chamber in the previous ten days, including the last inventory, was either given to Caspian as a reward or was fully purchased by Caspian. Hence, Hayley had no choice but to withstand the pressure and offended some regular customers.
Initially, Hayley thought it was worth it as that was the price to pay for Jessica’s smooth ascension. However, now that virtual-novel.net saw Caspian’s sincere gratitude, Hayley felt warm inside.
Then, Caspian smiled. “Alright. Now that I’ve passed you the things, it’s time for me to leave. Before that, I’d like to ask if you have any blood essence left?”
“We left some for you. How many bottles do you want?” Hayley was slightly annoyed at Caspian for ruining the moment, and virtual-novel.net could not help but roll virtual-novel.net eyes at him. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net quickly ordered someone to prepare the blood essence over.
“As we’ve been providing you with all the supply, some regular customers were unhappy. Hence, with your absence yesterday, I prepared some bottles for them. Unfortunately, we only have these fifty bottles at the moment, and I’ll charge you with the usual price,” Hayley informed Caspian.
“Alright. Thank you, Madam Hayley.” Caspian nodded.
Now that virtual-novel.net reached the fifth stage of the True Martial Realm, the blood essence’s effect was not as obvious as it was in the beginning. However, before virtual-novel.net ascended into the Pulse Control Realm, there was no harm in continuing tampering with his body. Hence, Caspian did not give up on that opportunity.
Taking advantage of the situation, Hayley asked the doubt in virtual-novel.net mind, “You’re now a fifth-stage True Martial Realm warrior. Don’t you need the spirit essence too?”
“I know what you‘re worried about,” Caspian took the fifty bottles of blood essence and answered, “However, that brat probably needs it more than me. Since virtual-novel.net successfully ascended to the Pulse Control Realm, he’d need the spirit essence to help stabilize his state. This will be more useful for virtual-novel.net than for me under the current situation.”
Caspian’s answer stunned Hayley. She did not even have the chance to stand and send virtual-novel.net off, but Caspian already left. After a while, Hayley finally regained virtual-novel.net senses. Then, virtual-novel.net sighed, took the gift that Caspian left, and passed through a few corridors toward another room.
Jessica, who was dressed in women’s clothing, was meditating. On the other hand, Lucy leaned against a table beside her, resting virtual-novel.net cheek in one hand as virtual-novel.net yawned in boredom.
Noticing that Hayley walked in, Jessica swept a glance at the items in virtual-novel.net hands, and virtual-novel.net eyes instantly lit up. Soon, there was a thoughtful look in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“He dropped by just now and said these are for you.” Madam Hayley placed the spiritual essence and Spring Breeze Tea in front of Jessica.
“He? Who’s he? Is it the guy who’s suspected to be Casper?” before Jessica could say anything, Lucy rushed over excitedly, “Let me see what virtual-novel.net gave… Two bottles of spirit essence. There’s no such coincidence in this world! That guy is Casper! I’m sure of it!”
The brat was so excited as if virtual-novel.net discovered an exceptional secret. “Ha! When virtual-novel.net showcased the Eight-Shadowed Fists the other day in the arena, I’d already guessed that this guy was Casper! Hehe. Did virtual-novel.net think he’s amazing just because virtual-novel.net used the shape-shifting inscription? Isn’t virtual-novel.net still exposed now? Aunty Hayley, where is he? I want to meet him.”
“No!”
“He left…”
Jessica and Hayley spoke at the same time. However, when Jessica heard Hayley’s reply, a hint of sadness flashed in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Ah, virtual-novel.net left…” Lucy pouted, appearing extremely sad, “Otherwise, I can expose his identity on the spot and watch his surprised expression. Hehehe.”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net noticed that Jessica did not react. Then, Lucy turned to look at Jessica in confusion, and virtual-novel.net saw Jessica stare at the two bottles of spirit essence in a trance.
Jessica naturally knew of the price and value of the two bottles of spirit essence. She also understood that Caspian achieved the fifth stage of the True Martial Realm, and virtual-novel.net would need to face the threshold between a martial artist and a cultivator. With the help of spirit essence, Caspian’s chances of crossing the threshold would be higher. However, virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net such a precious spirit essence.
What was that guy thinking! Did virtual-novel.net not know virtual-novel.net painstaking effort?!
Jessica protected virtual-novel.net right in front of so many people!
Yet, Caspian gave away the reward Jessica worked so hard for him, and virtual-novel.net was even giving it to a stranger. That was unreasonable!
At the thought of how Caspian easily gave away the spirit essence, Jessica had an ineffable surge of anger in her, as if virtual-novel.net was just betrayed.
“Aunt Hayley, did virtual-novel.net say anything else when virtual-novel.net passed these things?” Jessica asked as virtual-novel.net suppressed the dissatisfaction and grievance in virtual-novel.net heart.
“He said you’ve already successfully ascended to Pulse Control Real, and you’ll need the spirit essence to stabilize your state. Hence, these will be more useful for you than for virtual-novel.net under the current situation,” Hayley repeated Caspian’s words before virtual-novel.net left.
Jessica frowned when virtual-novel.net heard that, and virtual-novel.net suddenly widened virtual-novel.net eyes. “How did virtual-novel.net know l ascended to the Pulse Control Realm?”
Jessica abruptly felt virtual-novel.net heartbeat violently. “Are there other meanings behind his words? Does it mean virtual-novel.net found out about it?”
