BXBX NOVEL Chapter 178 What Goes Around Comes Around
"Don\'t worry darling, we\'ll be going to higher ranked places in the future so there is bound to be a dual cultivation manual for us ♥".
Aster sighed.
"I hope so, you would have recovered more if we had a decent one".
Lilia felt sweet in her heart, she gave her son a kiss.
"Your "love" already helped me surpass my previous limits in body cultivation, I will be the first one in the whole story of the Dragon Legacy heavenly quadrant, to have reached the peak of the transcending realms in two paths".
Since the first moment they made love, Aster has been looking for a dual cultivation manual, to help his mother recover her original realm in the energy path, but so far, he hasn\'t had any luck on that.
He even asked Rya if she had some knowledge about it, but she said something along the lines of "I won\'t influence your cultivation path", so he had no option but to solve it himself.
Aster used Rigel\'s flames to burn the lust poisonous cloud manual to avoid others using it in the future, the others books were neutral so there was no harm in leaving them for Luonto of the Barbarian heart sect.
"Whatever since we are already here, we might as well see if there is something usable".
Besides the manuals there were also records of the story of Riga but that was not of his interest, with the exception of one, Aster saw from the corner of his eyes the initials "J.M" on the front of a worn-out gray book.
He took it from the book shelf and opened it and a grin mad its way on his face.
"Hahaha, unfortunately I didn\'t have the pleasure of destroying his tomb, but this closes the circle of karma between that asshole second king and me".
The book was hollow, inside there was a jade case which contained a small multicolor flower… a flower with three petals of different color which is the description of the rainbow clover given to him by Rya.
Besides the rainbow clover there was a paper note with a little message, "To the one smart enough to know I was the best rune master in the whole story of Prasil, I leave this treasure and only ask for my name to be passed down".
Aster snorted the book along which didn\'t have anything inside along with the note disappeared as they were engulfed by blue flames.
Lilia smiled, this exploration was quite lucrative for her son, he got new members for the family, including a friend and servant.
Rya was speechless.
"Your luck is really something else, to think that after all what happened you not only got the black water yin flower, but even the rainbow clover".
Before Aster could reply, Lilia spoke in a playful voice.
"Well, I guess my darling is quite lucky whenever it comes to things related with women, you better give him a good "reward" later Rya".
Rya sighed.
"Our lovemaking is not as lewd as the one of a certain someone humph".
Aster smirked, "Normally I don\'t like when you two argue, but I\'m starting to believe it\'s not that bad, considering I can use it as an excuse to have you two share some "quality time" together with me hehehe".
While Lilia was more than happy to oblige, Rya felt a bit weird imagining Aster making love to her while his mother watch.
"You pervert of a master", she thought.
Besides the rainbow clover Aster took some metals, gems and spirit herbs, along with a spirit cauldron used to concoct pills and elixirs, Rigel\'s flames had a really high potential for both alchemy and blacksmithing so in the future he wanted to explore those fields a bit more.
While Aster, Lilia and Rya, were in their own world, Eris and Mylene listened to their conversation, none of them knew Rya so at first, they were surprised to hear the voice of a woman which they couldn\'t detect with their divine sense.
But then they thought about all the abnormal things that Aster has achieved and they just shrugged, in fact Eris thought that was one of the reasons of Aster\'s incredible battle prowess.
"That woman is probably his master, I wonder from which divine realm she comes, to think I can\'t even feel her presence even when I\'m listening to her voice".
Mylene nodded.
"This temporal master of mine, turned out to be quite something else… Eris once we return, will it be okay if I also pay a visit to your clan?".
Eris sighed.
"You are his servant, so I don\'t have anything to say if you tag along, that being said don\'t expect a warm welcome".
Mylene smiled, "Let alone yours, I can\'t even expect something like that from my own family".
Eris and Mylene took what they needed and returned to Aster\'s side, they saw him taking a fare share of both spirit stones and spirit jades, according to Lilia for middle ranked star clusters and above, everything was calculated in spirit jades which were used by genesis manifestation cultivators and above.
Aster noticed both Mylene and Eris were now using a spatial ring, besides the weapons of their choose, Eris choice was something unusual, a whip which had some thorns here and there, Mylene on the other hand was more conservative choosing a halberd.
Both treasures were at the peak of the sky grade, which perfectly fitted their current strength in the transcending realms, apart from that Eris took some materials fore rune mastering like different kinds of spirit ink and brushes.
"Is that everything you two want?".
Eris nodded, be it spirit stones or spirit jades they were useless for her as she couldn\'t cultivate with them anyway and the same applied to Mylene, the rest of the things weren\'t of Aster interests so they left the treasury.
Lilia ripped off the black door at the other side of the corridor and they entered the room, unlike the treasury, inside here there were only bottles displayed, among them there were elixirs, blood samples of spirit beasts and… blood of different people.
There were names written in a tag below each bottle, the elixirs were just low ranked ones, on the other hand the blood samples were more eye catching, most of them belonged to the kings of Luonto that went missing, and on top of all the others there was one which was tagged "cosmos tree".
Eris gave Mylene and accusatory gaze which made Mylene feel a bit embarrassed.
"I used the pseudonym of cosmos tree, because back then I didn\'t know if this mortal plane was influenced by some other higher planet".
With Aster\'s permission Mylene destroyed all the blood samples, the historic records where for Orson to solve any of his doubts, but no one knew how much the blood was manipulated by the Riga so it was better safe than sorry.
Besides the bottles there were some empty worn-out cages and nothing else, at least not visible, Lilia stomped a couple of times and the floor gave out to reveal a set of stairs that went down, it wasn\'t hard to guess this was the entrance to the place from where the spaceships appeared back when the battle was starting.
Aster and the girls went down stairs until they reached the end of the passage, there was another door which of course didn\'t suppose any problems for them, the new place was a huge underground storage room, the spirit lamps weren\'t on so the whole place was completely dark, to the point where it was hard to see what laid ahead of them.
Aster suddenly rose his arm and caught an arrow with his right hand, he looked for the origin of the attack and found a small fort which was hidden in the right corner of the room, the lamps light up in blue flames and illuminated the whole place.
To Aster\'s surprise there were people hiding there, a dozen of star axys realm cultivators and a couple of girls in the stellar constellation realm that shared some resemble with Augustus.
Lilia snorted.
"Well, it seems that guy originally wanted to preserve his lineage, what a shame absorbing that much unrefined vitality made his brain melt".
This place was supposed to be an escape route for the princesses and other members of the royal family of Riga, but when Aster destroyed the barrier, the underground tunnels collapsed.
Unfortunately, Augustus already sacrificed all the people that weren\'t "needed", there wasn\'t enough soldiers to participate in the war, let alone clean the tunnels, so these princesses had no option but to hide in this place.
Lilia crossed her arms and waited to see how her son would take care of the situation.
*Snap*.
With a little snapping sound, the fort exploded in blue flames leaving behind nothing behind, Eris and Mylene turned to see Aster which had an indifferent expression.
"They had the same bloody smell as that Nolan guy, some of those kings were Sarina\'s ancestors and a debt of blood must be paid with blood".
Lilia smiled, "Well said darling".
