"Could the Soltice ring be passed down from your Vanquez family on Earth?"
Kenny Lin voiced his suspicion.
"It’s highly possible, but before I come to Earth, my parents didn’t practice cultivation at all."
"You said Soltice Ring hasn’t fully opened yet. Perhaps when your cultivation reaches a certain level, it will automatically open," Kenny Lin suggested.
"That can only be during the Golden Core stage. If it’s during the Nascent Soul stage, it will be too late."
Suddenly noticing there’s an extra sword in his hand, Amalia asked, "Did Master Lian give you that?"
"My Master saw that my sword was already broken, so he gave me one," Kenny Lin replied as he threw the sword directly at her.
From the moment she picked it up, Amalia’s hands felt frozen.
Amalia was initially surprised by the weight of the sword, and its chilling aura made her face flush slightly after holding it for a moment.
Only after channeling her spiritual energy did she feel better.
"Is this an artifact that was one grade higher than spiritual artifact?" she asked.
"Anything bestowed by Master won’t be too shabby," Kenny Lin replied casually.
Amalia fell silent.
She had always wanted to forge a weapon for Kenny Lin.
However, due to various reasons, she had never succeeded.
Upon arriving in Mystic Void Continent, she had thought she could finally accomplish this.
Yet, Kenny Lin ended up acknowledging a powerful cultivator as his Master who indeed gave him a weapon that suitable for him.
She had to start learning artifact refining all over again.
Fortunately, the artifact she refined on Earth were destroyed in the space rift.
Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing to show them to Senior Brother Chang at that time.
Amalia felt a little bit anxious, unsure if she would have enough time to learn everything now.
With less than a month left before the deadline, there were only over twenty days left, and without the assistance of a spiritual artifact, many techniques couldn’t be used.
"Where did you get all these materials?" Kenny Lin only just noticed that she had bought a lot of refining materials.
"I bought them," Amalia replied.
"Are we that rich?" Kenny Lin exclaimed.
Amalia chuckled wryly, "Of course not. I borrowed sixty mid-grade spirit stones from someone else. If I don’t pay it back within a month, I’ll have to pay two-tenths of a percent interest per day."
"That’s so outrageous! Isn’t that’s not different from robbery?" Kenny Lin cursed.
Amalia remained calm, "Stay calm. Do you really think we can’t repay sixty mid-grade spirit stones within a month? I actually think it’s quite..."
"By the way, I still have sect benefits. Just wait a moment," Kenny Lin interrupted.
He had just returned but rushed out again and quickly disappeared from Upper Nine Peaks down the mountain.
Amalia wanted to call him back but didn’t get a chance.
She could only let him go and continue poring over the formation books in her hands.
The formations were very complex and difficult to understand; without guidance from a master, the progress was indeed more slower than she expected.
She didn’t have a master right now, so she could only explore them slowly on her own.
Kenny Lin left quickly and returned quickly as well.
He holding a storage bag in his hand, which he tossed to Amalia.
"Did you rob someone?" Amalia blurted out as she opened the storage bag.
Kenny Lin replied seriously, "I thought about it, but my current strength isn’t enough."
Amalia was speechless, "Do you really plan to rob someone once you become powerful?"
"I’ve considered it since I found out how poor we are," Kenny Lin said, his mind filled with thoughts of robbery.
"In that case, you should give up on that idea," Amalia bluntly discouraged him, "Your master isn’t just the strongest sword cultivator in Green Lotus Sect; he’s also one of the top sword cultivators on Mystic Void Continent. It won’t be easy to surpass him."
"As long as he doesn’t find out," Kenny Lin shrugged his shoulder, "Who says you have to be the strongest cultivator on Mystic Void Continent to rob someone? The ones who actually rob aren’t necessarily the strongest."
"That’s going to be tough," Amalia sighed softly.
Their current conversation might already have been overheard.
Kenny Lin changed the subject proactively, "The Sect Master of Green Lotus Sect is so stingy; he only gave me five high-grade spirit stones."
Amalia commented, "I heard the Peak Master of Lower Nine Peaks is just as tight-fisted."
"Shouldn’t they treat me like an elder?" Kenny Lin said.
Amalia looked at him, "If you say that outside, I guarantee there will be people who want to kill you, and I promise they will get past the Green Lotus Sect."
Kenny Lin chuckled, "With my seniority, they wouldn’t dare."
Amalia didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
Five high-grade spirit stones were worth five hundred mid-grade ones, it’s already quite a lot, enough for her to buy many refining materials, pills, and elixirs.
"I plan to go to the trading area again. Do you want to come with me?"
"Sure, I’ve been swinging my sword for three days straight. My feet are almost rusty," Kenny Lin nodded his head without hesitation.
"Has Master Lian taught you any mental methods?"
"He has. It’s called the Celestial Unity Scripture, and it seems to be advanced level mental methods."
"Master Lian’s mental methods couldn’t be advanced level, right? It’s should be at least top level. What about sword techniques?"
"Does cleaving and chopping count?"
"...I suppose so."
As they descended the mountain, they passed the time chatting.
Once again at the trading area, the loan sharks who had been eyeing borrowers at the entrance were nowhere to be seen.
If Baolin Jia knew that in the blink of an eye, Amalia’s assets had grown by five high-grade spirit stones, he might have been vomiting blood, but fortunately, he was unaware about it.
