It was hard to learn martial arts over nineteen, let alone cultivate. At most, Samson could only strengthen his body, and it was highly impossible for virtual-novel.net to be an expert. Even if a panacea could help Samson cast off his old self, its effect would be dozens or hundreds of times lesser on the nineteen-year-old than other people. Besides, Samson was just an ordinary mountain person, and virtual-novel.net did not have any connection or background. Hence, no one would provide virtual-novel.net with treasures and precious medicines.
If there were something worth paying attention to, it was nothing more than the obsession in his heart. Nonetheless, an obsession might be precious, yet it was also worthless. After all, before reaching the goal, the obsession could make one work diligently, but once it was completed and they vented their anger, the cultivator might no longer improve.
Samson fell under that category. Moreover, virtual-novel.net was so stubborn that virtual-novel.net only wanted revenge. If Samson entered the pathway to immortality, that resentment and anger would easily make virtual-novel.net go down the wrong path, turning virtual-novel.net into a devil cultivator.
The former leading villains of South Earlington’s top ten bandits, the Johnson brothers, were typical. For such a person, instead of giving virtual-novel.net hope, letting virtual-novel.net enter a sect, taking the wrong step in the end, and becoming a devil cultivator, it was better to extinguish the fire in his heart directly.
Due to that, the guarding disciple could not figure out Caspian’s thoughts, and virtual-novel.net decided to ask Caspian about it out of caution.
Caspian pondered for a moment and looked at the disciple, saying, ”Bring virtual-novel.net to the service area. Don’t let anyone find out about what happened today and monitor his situation before doing anything.”
Caspian talked to Samson before as virtual-novel.net hoped Samson would not limit his purpose of embarking on the pathway to immortality just to avenge his family. When Caspian saw Samson’s reaction before virtual-novel.net fainted, virtual-novel.net seemed to have understood that, but virtual-novel.net passed out before virtual-novel.net could say anything. Hence, after giving it a thought, Caspian decided to give virtual-novel.net a chance.
Based on the Heavenly Stars Sect‘s levels for their disciples, there were still miscellaneous disciples below Caspian’s level as an apprentice. As for a rank lower than a miscellaneous disciple, it would be a handyman.
As the name suggested, handymen were inferior to miscellaneous disciples, and they were the group of people with the lowest status in the Heavenly Stars Sect, responsible for the dirtiest and most challenging tasks. Those handymen were only slightly stronger than mortals, but they were not even considered warriors. Therefore, when counting the number of people in the sect, handymen would not be included in the calculation.
Even so, each year, when the Heavenly Stars Sect recruited handymen, many people would fight a bloody battle for such a position. The reason was simple, even if they were handymen, they were still the Heavenly Stars Sect’s handymen. Living in the Heavenly Stars Sect surrounded by abundant spiritual Qi, there was a glimmer of hope for them to become a warrior or even an apprentice. Judging at the proportion, one of a thousand handymen would be promoted to become a miscellaneous disciple. Even though it was a low ratio, there was still hope for the mortals to enter the pathway of immortality.
Caspian still gave Samson a glimmer of hope after careful consideration. After all, an apprentice could get a mortal into the sect as a handyman. Whether virtual-novel.net could improve after that, would depend on whether Samson could figure out what Caspian said before.
Seeing the guarding disciple do as virtual-novel.net ordered, Caspian took a good look at the unconscious Samson. Then, virtual-novel.net shook the willow twig in his hand and chased the three goats into the mountain gate.
After walking for a while, Maya was puzzled after watching the entire thing, and virtual-novel.net could not help but ask, “Casper, do you think that Samson has potential?”
Caspian gave it a thought and shook his head.
Maya stared at virtual-novel.net in surprise. “Then, why would you let virtual-novel.net in?”
“He’ll only be a handyman, and it’ll depend on himself to achieve something. After all, virtual-novel.net missed the best age, and virtual-novel.net didn’t have any foundation,” Caspian answered, “I helped virtual-novel.net mainly because I saw something I had before, but those were nothing good. It’s exhausting to be burdened by hatred only.”
Hearing Caspian’s melancholy tone, Maya tilted virtual-novel.net head and looked at Caspian, baffled. “Judging from your tone, it seems that you’re still harboring some grievances?”
Caspian chuckled, and virtual-novel.net did not answer. The question was personal, and it concerned the secret of his actual identity. Moreover, Caspian thought virtual-novel.net should not have revealed the slightest bit as virtual-novel.net did now, so virtual-novel.net did not want to say anything more.
Maya also realized that virtual-novel.net question was too abrupt, so virtual-novel.net fell silent and walked beside Caspian.
After walking another distance, they saw a group of anxious disciples rushing in a direction. The expressions on their faces seemed to be anticipation or expectations, but there was also a hint of joy from someone else’s misfortune, making others puzzled.
“What’s going on?” Caspian and Maya looked at each other, confused.
Just as the two were baffled, they saw Omar running in the distance. When virtual-novel.net saw Caspian and Maya, his eyes instantly lit up, and virtual-novel.net swiftly bolted over. Then, virtual-novel.net announced something shocking, “I heard that Solana is fighting with a few peak first-stage disciples!”
“What happened?” Caspian asked.
“I don’t know the specifics, but I just heard about it just now, and many people are rushing over,” Omar replied, “If I’ m not mistaken, Solana directly challenged these few apprentices in their courtyard.”
Caspian continued asking, “Which courtyard?”
Just as Omar mentioned the name, Caspian already passed the willow twig to him. Then, just like the wind, Caspian already ran away.
“What… What’s happening?” Omar looked at the willow twig in his hand and glanced at the three bleating goats. Then, virtual-novel.net cast a pleading look at Maya.
With virtual-novel.net hands behind her, Maya retreated and said, “Casper bought this just now, and I think virtual-novel.net wanted you to bring the goats back to his courtyard. However, I won’t be accompanying you as I also want to see what’s going on over there.”
After saying that, Maya chased after Caspian.
Omar held the willow twig and looked at the three goats that had flocked to him, and virtual-novel.net was dumbfounded. Then, virtual-novel.net showed a thoughtful expression. “Perhaps Casper wants to eat their meat? That’s possible… These goats are so fat. Tsk tsk… Cutting them into pieces, marinating them…”
At the thought of that, Omar salivated. Then, noticing that virtual-novel.net had forgotten his manners, Omar hurriedly looked around. After ensuring that no one saw him, virtual-novel.net quickly whipped the goats until they bled and swiftly headed toward Caspian’s courtyard.
Not long after, Caspian arrived at the courtyard Omar mentioned. However, there were about 40 people outside, and Caspian could not see what happened.
