Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2620: Lower-Grade Immortal Pill "Spirit Essence Pill

"I don’t know either."

Facing the expectant look in Wyatt Barnes’s eyes, Manuel Willow only shook his head again.

Wyatt was immediately a little disappointed.

"The Sect that the Immortal King who left behind that minor world belongs to, the ’Joyous Zen Sect’, is a Sect that stands outside and above the Immortal Kingdoms."

"Since that powerhouse who entered the minor world with you was able to leave it alive, it means his strength is very great... His background definitely isn’t simple either. It’s even possible that the Sect he belongs to is on the same level as the Joyous Zen Sect."

"Of course, even if his Sect is weaker than the Joyous Zen Sect, it’s probably not much weaker."

Manuel Willow continued.

"However, I’ve been in the County City of Nine Nether County for many years, and I’ve never heard of an Immortal Artifact called ’World-Purifying Dust Whisk’... If you want to know which Sect that Immortal Artifact belongs to, I’m afraid you’ll have to go to King Cooper’s Mansion, or even the Capital City."

"I can’t say about King Cooper’s Mansion... but if you go to the Capital City, you’ll have at least a fifty percent chance of finding out the origin of that Immortal Artifact ’World-Purifying Dust Whisk.’"

Manuel Willow said.

"The Capital City..."

Wyatt’s eyes flashed; he naturally knew that the ’Capital City’ Manuel Willow spoke of was the Capital City of the medium-grade Immortal Kingdom he was currently in.

"Centurion Wyatt Barnes."

Manuel Willow looked at Wyatt, his expression grave as he said, "Even if not all the Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities you’ve mastered are all Heaven-grade... in the future, if you go to the County City of Nine Nether County, keep as low a profile as you can."

"Even Earth Grade Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities... are enough to stir up some people’s greed."

Manuel Willow reminded him.

Wyatt nodded.

He still understood the principle that "the innocent man gets into trouble because of his treasure."

After chatting idly for a bit, Manuel Willow finally beckoned Wyatt back to the Black Dragon Army camp.

It was still that same valley.

"City Lord!"

The Black Dragon Army’s Commander-in-Chief, Makai Holland, along with the four Centurions of the Black Dragon Army, once again walked out of the tents at this moment, all bowing respectfully to Manuel Willow.

"Makai, after today, pick another Centurion to replace Centurion Wyatt Barnes... In a bit, Centurion Wyatt Barnes will return to the City Lord’s Mansion with me. Half a year from now, he will, together with another person, follow the County Governor’s Mansion’s special envoy to the County City and to the County Governor’s Mansion."

Manuel Willow went straight to the point with Makai Holland.

"City Lord... what you mean is, of those two slots, one has been pre-assigned to Centurion Wyatt Barnes?"

Makai Holland asked.

Obviously, Makai Holland also knew about that matter.

However, among the four Centurions behind him, apart from Ares Cooper, whose eyes flashed imperceptibly, the other three Centurions all wore blank looks, having no idea what Manuel Willow and Makai Holland were talking about.

Of course, through the exchange between the two, they still learned one thing:

Half a year from now, their Bloodshade City would have two slots to go to the County Governor’s Mansion of Nine Nether County!

"For the County Governor’s Mansion’s special envoy to personally come to our Bloodshade City to take people over... it has to be a good thing!"

Eastern Dunn, Daxton Cruz, and Omari Moran could all see that much.

"Yes."

Manuel Willow nodded, then continued, "As for the other slot, it will be selected from among your Blackarmor Army, the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, and the Golden Serpent Guards... Five months from now, before the County Governor’s Mansion’s special envoy arrives, I will set up a battle platform in the City Lord’s Mansion."

"In your Black Dragon Army, as well as the Army of Silver Sea Dragon and the Golden Serpent Guards... any Golden Immortal under a hundred years old can step onto the platform to fight for that other slot to go to the County Governor’s Mansion."

Manuel Willow finished in one breath.

Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran immediately shook their heads with wry smiles.

Their ages had long since exceeded a hundred; although they were Golden Immortals, they did not meet the conditions.

Of course, they also knew that if there were no age restriction, they still wouldn’t be able to win that slot.

The strength of the two of them, even among the many Centurions of the Black Dragon Army, could only be ranked in the middle to lower ranks...

"Eastern Dunn and Ares Cooper... both seem to be under a hundred."

At the same time, Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran subconsciously looked toward Eastern Dunn and Ares Cooper beside them, only to find that Eastern Dunn’s eyes were filled with excitement.

As for Ares Cooper, his face and gaze were especially calm.

"Could it be that Ares Cooper knows he can’t get that slot... so he’s not interested at all?"

"That should be it."

Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran exchanged a look, their voice transmissions concluding that Ares Cooper had already given up on that slot.

"This Wyatt Barnes..."

At the same time, the two of them glanced at Wyatt, and in the depths of their eyes, identical flickers of jealousy flashed by.

After all, there were only two slots in total, and one had been directly pre-assigned to Wyatt.

Of course, they also understood in their hearts:

Given Wyatt’s strength, even without a pre-assignment, he could easily take one of the slots.

"Centurion Wyatt Barnes... do you still have anything to deal with in the Black Dragon Army? If you do, I’ll wait here for you to finish, then we’ll return to the City Lord’s Mansion together."

Manuel Willow smiled and spoke to Wyatt with great courtesy.

Seeing this scene, although Makai Holland and the others had already been mentally prepared, they still couldn’t help their hearts trembling...

Normally, unless the County Governor’s Mansion sent a special envoy to Bloodshade City, there was basically no one in Bloodshade City who could be treated so courteously by their City Lord.

Wyatt was the first person in Bloodshade City, who was not a special envoy of the County Governor’s Mansion, to be treated this courteously by their City Lord.

"I’ll go say a few words to my subordinates."

Wyatt said to Manuel Willow, then left the valley to look for the group of Black Dragon Army soldiers under his command.

"Centurion... you’re leaving?"

"Centurion, don’t tell me Commander of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, ’Eren Maxwell’, went back on his word and is going to make things hard for you?"

...

When the group of Black Dragon Army soldiers under Wyatt Barnes learned that Wyatt was about to leave, their faces all changed drastically, and then they all began asking at once.

"Centurion, that incident a month ago—I was the one who started it all... I’ll go look for the Commander-in-Chief right now!"

The Centurion under Wyatt, ’Anthony Tucker’, spoke as he was already preparing to go look for the Black Dragon Army’s commander.

"And me!"

"And me!"

...

The nine Black Dragon Army soldiers who had gone to the Phoenix Arrival Wine House with Anthony Tucker a month ago also stood up, wanting to go with him to see their Black Dragon Army commander and shoulder the responsibility.

However, they were quickly stopped by Wyatt.

"The matter from a month ago is already over... I’m leaving this time because the City Lord is preparing to send me to Nine Nether County’s County City, to the Nine Nether County Governor’s Mansion."

Wyatt said.

"To the Nine Nether County Governor’s Mansion?"

Hearing Wyatt’s words, Anthony Tucker and the others all realized that Wyatt’s departure this time was because of a "good thing."

After all, not just anyone could go to the Nine Nether County Governor’s Mansion.

Since it was a "good thing," although Anthony Tucker and the others were still reluctant to see Wyatt leave, they didn’t say anything more and each honestly bade Wyatt farewell.

"If I have the time in the future... I’ll come back to see everyone."

Leaving those words behind, Wyatt departed, rejoined Manuel Willow, left the Black Dragon Army camp, went to Bloodshade City, entered the City Lord Mansion, and was even specially permitted to cultivate in Manuel Willow’s private secret cultivation chamber.

At the same time, Manuel Willow also sent Wyatt a Storage Ring.

"Centurion Wyatt Barnes... inside this Storage Ring, there are one hundred top-grade spirit stones, and a bottle of low-grade Immortal Pills, ’Spirit Essence Pills’."

Manuel Willow said.

"Spirit Essence Pills? Low-grade Immortal Pills?"

Hearing Manuel Willow’s words, the gaze Wyatt cast at the Storage Ring in his hand became even more burning hot.

Spirit Essence Pills, while a fairly common Immortal Pill, were not something just anyone could obtain...

A Heavenly Immortal, without changing cultivation environments, who cultivated while taking a Spirit Essence Pill, could, for the duration of the pill’s medicinal effect, cut down by a full one-tenth the time needed to break through to the next realm!

What kind of concept was that?

To give an example:

A Red Moon Heavenly Immortal originally needed a hundred days to break through to Orange Moon Heavenly Immortal.

Then, after taking a Spirit Essence Pill, they would only need ninety days to complete the breakthrough!

Most importantly, cultivating with Immortal Pills and cultivating by absorbing spirit stones did not conflict; the two could be done at the same time.

"Many thanks, City Lord."

Weighing the pill bottle in his hand, Wyatt could further confirm:

There were no fewer than ten Spirit Essence Pills inside.

...

Just as Wyatt began his closed-door cultivation, Bloodshade City was anything but peaceful.

"Commander of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, ’Eren Maxwell’, said before the City Lord that he would no longer pursue the incident at the Phoenix Arrival Wine House a month ago?"

"That’s not Eren Maxwell’s style."

...

The initial unrest in Bloodshade City was because of this matter, which was connected to Wyatt.

Immediately after, the unrest in Bloodshade City, while still related to Wyatt, was no longer over the incident at the Phoenix Arrival Wine House a month ago:

"Wyatt Barnes followed the City Lord back to the City Lord Mansion... and was even specially permitted to cultivate in the City Lord’s exclusive secret cultivation chamber?"

"My god! I’ve never heard of anyone being allowed to cultivate in the City Lord’s exclusive secret cultivation chamber!"

"Just what virtue or ability does that Wyatt Barnes have, to actually receive such favor from the City Lord?"

...

When a piece of news from within the City Lord Mansion spread throughout all of Bloodshade City, it alarmed the entire city and left everyone in Bloodshade City feeling it was somewhat unbelievable.

"That Wyatt Barnes... could he be the City Lord’s illegitimate son?"

Someone even said that.

Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp.

"What? The Commander-in-Chief is no longer pursuing the incident at the Phoenix Arrival Wine House a month ago?"

"Does that mean... Centurion Noel Yorke was crippled by that Wyatt Barnes for nothing?"

"Why would the Commander-in-Chief do that?"

...

Just as a group of Army of Silver Sea Dragon soldiers were unable to make sense of it and were extremely depressed—

The news that Wyatt had gone to the City Lord Mansion and was cultivating inside the Bloodshade City Lord’s exclusive secret cultivation chamber also reached the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp and quickly spread throughout it.

"This... what’s going on?!"

When Commander of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, ’Eren Maxwell’, heard the news, his expression couldn’t help but change, then he slowly eased up:

"Could it be... the City Lord plans to treat that Wyatt Barnes with kindness, so that, moved to tears with gratitude, he’ll willingly hand over those various profound Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities he’s mastered?"
