Clark Family Patriarch Room…
"Here, I brought the beast fingers as you asked. Please take a look, Patriarch." The Spell Master Jinn placed two pairs of beast fingers before the patriarch, Ryan Clark.
Patriarch Ryan continued to observe those two pairs of beast fingers for a long time with a serious look. After a long time he gave a satisfied nod.
"Very well. Tonight is the death day for my brother's son, Henry," Patriarch Ryan said with killing intent.
"Patriarch, make sure that arrogant fellow Henry dies a miserable death. How dare he threaten to kill me within 30 days? That fellow is the one who is going to die tonight," Spell Master Jinn said as he remembered the death stare of Henry.
"Don't worry, Spell Master Jinn. Tonight, even if the sky breaks, no one will be able to stop the death of Henry. I will make sure he suffers before his soul leaves his body," Patriarch Ryan said with a cunning look as he put on the Beast Fingers and waved his hands like a beast.
"That's more like it, my dear Patriarch." Spell Master Jinn also began laughing with great joy as he imagined finally sleeping peacefully after Henry's death.
Meanwhile, in the skies above the Clark family, Madame Melissa, who sat on top of the winged fox, was observing all the planning of Patriarch Ryan with a cheerful smile.
"What a lowly fellow! Master, this old geezer seems to be more cunning than me. But this old fellow is going to help us by killing that Henry. After Henry's death it will be very easy for us to take the lady Luna with us. She will be alone and will agree to come with us," the winged fox said with a gleeful look.
"What you said is absolutely right, but I can't let this happen. If Henry really dies, that lady Luna will definitely suffer heartbreak and she won't be able to achieve much in the path of cultivation. She will suffer from heart poison throughout her cultivation path. So we must not let this old geezer kill Henry," Melissa said as she began thinking more deeply.
"Then how are you going to convince that lady Luna to come with us? Don't tell me you are going to take her forcefully like a villain?" the winged fox asked.
"Don't worry. I clearly know the weakness of Luna. Let's go. I already made a plan. Tonight we are going to take Luna with us willingly," Melissa said as she moved towards the corner where Henry's residence was located.
Inside Henry's Residence…
"Husband, we can survive several months with these many spirit stones," Luna said happily as Henry laid down all the 17 spirit stones on the table.
"My little wife… I'm going to consume all these spirit stones today itself," Henry said with a smile.
"What are you saying? How can you consume so many spirit stones at once? Even for a Master Magus it will take three or four days at least to completely absorb all the spirit stones," Luna asked with a questioning look.
"You are underestimating your husband. I need to recover my lost cultivation. Before I got crippled my cultivation was at 9th Class Magus, but now I am only close to a 3rd Class Disciple Magus. Here, take this one spirit stone. I will use the remaining sixteen to regain my cultivation," he said as he placed a single spirit stone in her hands.
She stared at Henry's face and the single spirit stone with a pitiful look.
"Husband, at this rate you might need hundreds of spirit stones in the future," Luna said.
"Exactly… but don't worry. I have many talents. Once I start earning, you can purchase anything you want. For now I need to cultivate, so don't disturb me unless some idiot comes to cause trouble," Henry said as he sat on the rock bed in a lotus position.
"I don't think any idiot would come to our house now. Many of the youths are already afraid to fight you after seeing how casually you defeated the top lady Hen Ping," Luna said before going outside to purchase necessary things for the house.
Henry placed all the 16 spirit stones in the Pegasus formation of stars. Like connected dots, all the spirit stones began releasing aura.
Henry immediately closed his eyes and began absorbing all the aura around him. Unlike last time where the aura was like fog, this time the aura was like saline droplets slowly entering his bloodstream.
He guided the aura through his meridians and slowly his dantian began filling up drop by drop.
The aura energy flowed through the spinal tree and reached the first chakra. Like broken glass merging together, the fractured parts of his spinal tree began recovering from the aura, and slowly his lost cultivation began taking shape again in a much stronger way.
"The Heavenly Sword God Aura is not a joke. Now my cultivation base is much stronger. I don't need to worry about future cultivation bottlenecks," Henry muttered as a smile crept along his lips.
Melissa, who was observing from the sky, also felt stunned after seeing the absorbing rate of energy. She had never seen a third-class Magus absorb aura from 16 spirit stones at once, and that too without any pain.
"This fellow is not normal. This fellow must know some superior aura absorption technique," Melissa muttered before taking a last look at Henry.
The winged fox immediately turned towards the left and began following Luna, who was going towards the market without any worry or nervousness.
Luna suddenly stopped and stared at the sky with a serious look.
"What is this feeling? Why do I feel like someone is following me and staring at me from the sky?" she muttered before walking again with a doubtful stare.
"Master, it seems this lady can sense our presence. By any chance has she already seen us?" the winged fox asked with a doubtful look.
"No way. She only has strong instincts. In any case she won't be able to see us as I already used the levitating spell on both of us. Instead of asking questions, follow her more closely. We must look for the best opportunity," Melissa said in a serious tone.
