Death... and me - Chapter 2939: Getting Closer

On the way back, Rean contacted Roan through their Soul Connection. Now that they are not in the Lisan Universe, they can’t simply communicate from anywhere. The old range limit was once again applied. However… Their last upgrade increased the distance their connection is active to one million kilometers. This range was still the same even after everything that happened. At their actual level, it would be truly difficulty to go further away from each other than that.

‘So, you heard about the Sunlight Realm, right?’ Rean asked.

Roan nodded as he continued to fly ahead. ‘As much as I hate to admit, your decision to stay behind to watch Klifon paid off. This Divine Werdlem Stone is probably necessary to absorb Divine Energy. We needed the stones to absorb Spiritual Energy, so it makes sense.’

‘Oh!’ Rean was surprised. ‘I thought you would reject the idea of entering the Sunlight Realm.’ ‘It’s the Divine Werdlem Stone,’ Roan made it clear. ‘If not for that, I definitely wouldn’t even consider this idea. Anyway, let’s return and work on our things. The auction isn’t too far away, so we need to prepare as well.’

‘Very well,’ Rean agreed and finished his conversation with Roan. Right after, he looked at Rosa, who still seemed angry. “Hey, little girl, how long will you keep the angry baby face?”

“I’m not a kid!” Rosa exploded once again. “I’m already fucking 32 years old! I only look younger because of my cultivation, you know that!”

“Hahaha!” Rean enjoyed playing with the girl. He had only cared about cultivation, spiritual stones, and the plans to grow stronger fast so far. This girl refreshed the situation a little. “Alright, alright. Although 32 years isn’t even worth mentioning compared to me, you are indeed not a kid anymore.”

Rosa glanced at Rean. “You better mean it!”

Rean shrugged. Wasn’t she supposed to think he was an elder of the Gondel Clan? “Yeah, yeah. You are a grown-up. Now, since I’m in a good mood, why don’t you show a little of your cultivation to me? I might be able to give you some pointers.”

Rosa’s eyes lit up, and she quickly agreed. “Yes, elder Jerry!” Rosa drove her Spiritual Energy, and her Wind Elemental Affinity gathered the Wind Element from the surroundings to support the cultivation.

Rean looked at that and checked the girl’s body with his Spiritual Sense. After watching for a while, he had to admit it wasn’t as bad as he thought. ‘Such a cultivation technique could only be a dream in the mortal realm of Lisan Universe…’ he thought for a moment. Of course, with his experience, he saw many flaws, even if he wasn’t Roan.

Time passed, and Rean helped the girl as they made their way back. At some point, Rean caught up to Roan, who ignored Rean’s action at first. However, the more Rean spoke, the more irritated Roan became with his words. They weren’t completely wrong, but he still missed many things Roan simply couldn’t ignore. “Fucking hell! Stop that already. He was right about driving the thirteenth Meridian Spiritual Energy in a circular manner, but you should do it smoother. This idiot forgot about your gender and the inherent differences between male and female meridians during cultivation.”

Rean faintly smiled and didn’t say anything, just watched. Rean couldn’t compare to Roan in cultivation techniques anyway, so why bother retorting?

Two days later, the twins finally returned to the Gondel Clan. Of course, they dropped Rosa further back and took a different path from her. By the time she was sent away on her own, her cultivation speed had almost doubled! That was the effect of Roan fixing the problems of her cultivation technique himself. Roan didn’t say it, but the girl did have some talent as well.

“Say, doesn’t she remind you of Malaka a little?” Rean commented with a smile.

Roan closed his eyes for a moment, and the image of the bright girl from the Varen Tribe appeared in his mind for a moment. “There are countless women with similar personalities in so many universes. Just forget it.”

Rean shrugged. “So be it…”

The twins’ appearance then reverted to their Black and White hairs while their cultivation was once again suppressed to the Initial Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Finally, they entered the Gondel Clan, going straight to the Missions Hall, where they delivered the Poison Lizard materials. On the surface, that was the reason they went to the Parton Sect Territory, after all.

That same day, Rean was called to see Kuslau, his ‘master’ in the Gondel Clan. Kuslau was happy that Rean took other missions and went out to experience the world, especially the fact he succeeded in a mission that was slightly above Rean’s ‘level’ in the clan. He even got curious about Roan, but since Roan never showed his strength in public, he decided to not mention it.

Once his visit to Kuslau was over, Rean went to see Suzumaki in the same restaurant as always. He received the orders for pills and returned to his room.

Roan didn’t waste time and concocted the pills straight away. Finally, the twins spent the next few days cultivating since those pills weren’t supposed to be ‘easy’ to make. Only then did Rean bring the pills to Suzumaki.

“Here are the pills,” Rean passed them.

“And here is the payment,” Suzumaki followed suit. He had no reason to doubt Rean anymore. He had already made a huge profit during the several months they had known each other anyway. “My clients are quite distressed, so I’m taking my leave. Your pills are quite famous, after all.”

“Just one second,” Rean stopped Suzumaki before throwing a Spatial Ring to him. “There is a favor I want to ask you. Please use these Rank Four Spiritual Stones and buy me a batch of Fiery Rabbit Weed from the Clan.”

“Fiery Rabbit Weed?” Suzumaki quickly checked the herb in his CD. “Wow, it costs a thousand Rank Four Spiritual Stones. Our deals haven’t earned you all of this yet.”

Rean nodded. “I managed to get the rest of them from somewhere else. Check the Spatial

Ring.”

Suzumaki did as he was asked and smiled. “Since you trust me to carry this trade, I shall do so. Don’t worry, as always, your name will be kept secret.”

“Thank you,” Rean was happy to hear that.

After Suzumaki left, Rean contacted Roan. ‘With this, we now have the Profound Soul Herbs and the Fiery Rabbit Weeds.’

Roan could see the pill taking form in his mind already. ‘Another three items to go.’
