Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 464 - Called Over

With everything now set in stone, both sides' parents began to discuss the arrangements. Well, it was more like Nivol and Ariana taking the lead since Harmalia and Turen didn't know that much about the Imperial Family's customs. Later that night, the twins went back to the Dalamu Sect's residence with their parents and Jury. Qia stayed behind with her own family, though.

Rean then went back to his own room and continued to ponder about his experiences during the last few days in the Formation Master Exam. Droman was there as well, helping him with everything possible.

As for Roan, he didn't stay in the house. Instead, he left straight away without saying where he was going. Well, Rean knew where he was going, though.

Back in the Black Market, a figure suddenly appeared on the teleport formation. He quickly exited the building before heading to one of the shops available there. Naturally, this figure was Roan. He had once again changed his appearance and came back to buy the Dark World skill.

"Oh! So this customer is back. It's been a few days since I saw you last time."

Roan nodded before asking.

"Do you still have the Dark World skill for sale?"

The man's eyes lit up as he responded.

"But of course! Give me a second."

The man went inside and quickly came back with the book Roan had seen before.

"As mentioned before, it costs 200 Rank Four Spirit Stones."

Roan obtained 450 Rank Four Spirit Stones from obtaining 2nd place in the alchemist exam, so he didn't have a problem paying for it this time. Of course, it still pained him to see almost half of the Rank Four Spirit Stones he had disappearing that way. It was the first batch of Rank Four Spirit Stones he ever got, after all.

"Here."

The man quickly checked the bag and laughed.

"Hahaha! Very good! Our deal is now completed. By the way, don't you fancy any of our other products?"

Roan didn't care about the vendor and only looked at the manual. After confirming that it was the real deal, he simply turned around and left. He already checked the other shops, and there were a few interesting things among them. However, they were also expensive and not as important as this one.

Well, on the way out, Roan noticed that he was being followed once again. It was most likely because he paid for the book with Rank Four Spirit Stones while he was only in the Initial Stage of the Core Formation Realm. Roan couldn't tell what those guys' strengths were, so he didn't take any risks. After making a curve in a corner, he immediately entered the Soul Gem Realm. Following that, he used a few Rank Three Spirit Stones to teleport back to his room.

Roan made the right decision. Rank Four Spirit Stones were very important even for Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. There were quite a few Core and Soul Fusion Realm between those who were after him. Obviously, they didn't know how Roan disappeared out of nowhere. Because of that, they kept looking for him in the area for quite a few hours.

Back in the Dalamu Residence, Rean couldn't help but ask.

'Is it really that good?'

Roan glanced at him before nodding.

'The guy who created it used an interesting approach. He didn't create the Dark World skill by simply spreading his Spiritual Energy over a large area. Instead, he used something like a spider web layout. Very thin threads of Spiritual Energy fused with Yin Energy. It saves a lot of Spiritual Energy while the Spiritual and Yin Energies gathered the Dark Element. That's how his Dark World came to be.'

Rean then asked something else.

'But in that case, this Dark World is very inferior to what you could do by spreading Spiritual Energy all around. Chances are high that you won't be able to achieve complete darkness.'

Roan agreed with him.

'I know. However, considering the limitation of vision and how much Spiritual Energy it uses, it's still worth it, especially for someone like us who has much bigger Spiritual Energy Pools.'

Roan also took the chance to ask something else to Rean.

'What about your new element control? Can you use Zuan's skills already?'

Rean then opened his hand as Spiritual Energy gathered. Soon after, Fire Element was pulled out, and a fireball appeared on top of it, floating.

'Fire is a Yang Element, so it wasn't too hard to use it to an acceptable degree. Ancestor Zuan's skills are also superb. Although it's not as easy as Light or Dark Element, I should be able to use it in combat already. It will become incredibly handy once I can forge equipment with its help.'

Roan nodded. Rean had acquired that Yang Energy cultivation technique from Zuan after the war. Since then, he had allocated some of his time to practice it. Of course, he didn't care about the cultivation technique part of the manual since he had a cultivation technique already.? He focused more on the Yang Energy manipulation and the Fire Skills that used it.

Sometime later, Rean went back to his own room.

The next day, invitations were sent out of the Imperial Palace everywhere. Obviously, those were the invitations regarding the wedding ceremony between Qia and Rean. Soon enough, the capital turned lively with the news as multiple important figures confirmed their presence.

However, Rean couldn't care less about that at the moment. That was because he had received an invitation from the Formations Guild, telling him that the Guild Leader, Saya, wanted to see him. Without much choice, he went there.

It was then that he found Havek and Balia there as well.

"Good, you three are here."

Balia seemed to be out of place, nervous that something was wrong. Havek, on the other hand, seemed to already know what was happening... or so Rean thought. That guy always had a confident expression at all times.

"What's going on?"

Saya smiled before saying.

"I want the three of you to represent the Sasamil Empire Formation Master Guild in the next world competition."
