The next day, Jared and Flaxseed headed straight for Spiritus Occultus Monastery. It was only severalhundred kilometers away from Jadeborough, so they were able to arrive at Spiritus Occultus Monasteryin a few hours with their enhanced speed..
Spiritus Occultus Monastery used to be a vibrant place, with many people going there to meditate.However, the place was deserted then. On their way to the monastery, Jared and Flaxseed did noteven come across a single soul.
As a matter of fact, when they arrived at Spiritus Occultus Monastery, they were shocked to see thatthe monastery was dilapidated. Dust covered every inch of the area as if the people had been gone fora long, long time:
That sight made Jared’s heart drop. Upon stepping onto the grounds of Spiritus Occultus Monastery,they were greeted by overgrown weeds. There were no priests to be seen at all.
“It looks like the blacksmith master | encountered back then isn’t around anymore,” Flaxseedcommented when he noticed how bleak the place was. It was apparent that no one had been staying atthe monastery for years. Jared sighed. Disappointed, he muttered, “Let’s go…”
Right as the two of them were about to leave, a gust of aura rushed toward them. In the next second, afigure stood in their way. When Jared focused his eyes on the figure, he realized that the personstanding before them was a grubby-faced old priest dressed in tattered priest attire.
“Misters, since you’re at Spiritus Occultus Monastery, why don’t you sit down and meditate a littlebefore leaving?” the old priest said to Jared and Flaxseed. Flaxseed gave the old priest a look overbefore he quickly piped up, “Do you remember me? We met once several years ago.”
The old priest glanced at Flaxseed before shaking his head regretfully. “I have wandered. many placesand seen many people. How am I to remember every single face I’ve come across?”
“It’s okay even if you don’t remember me. We’re here to ask a favor of you.” Flaxseed was not at allangry at the old priest for not remembering who he was.
“A favor?” The old priest was stunned. “Look at me. What can I possibly help you with?” “I know thatyou’re a blacksmith master. My friend here has a chipped sword, and he would like to ask for your helprestoring it,” Flaxseed truthfully answered.
“I see,” the old priest said, inclining his head. “It’s just restoring a sword, so that’s something I can do.However, what good will I get from. doing this for you?”
“You can have anything you want if you fix my sword for me. I won’t say no even if you ask to restorethe entire Spiritus Occultus Monastery,” Jared swiftly offered.
“A generous young man, I see. But this monastery isn’t mine, so why would I want to restore it?” the oldpriest muttered with another shake of his head. “If I restore your sword, you’ll need to rescue someonefor me.”
“Who is it?” Jared and Flaxseed asked in unison. “You don’t need to care about their identity; all youneed to do is know that this person is imprisoned in Fire Incineration Sect’s dungeon. If you agree tothis, I can even forge a sword for you, let alone the mere request of restoring your blade,” the old priestuttered.novelbin
“Fire Incineration Sect?” Jared blurted out. Both he and Flaxseed were flabbergasted. They had neverheard of a sect with that name. “Where is this Fire Incineration Sect? I’ve never heard of it before.”
Jared was a man who knew the mundane world, the hidden realm, and the secret realms well. Yet, hehad never heard of Fire Incineration Sect.
“You don’t even know Fire Incineration Sect? It’s located on the side of Greenoxen Peak. How couldyou not have heard of this major sect before?” the old priest blurted out, astounded. His response onlybefuddled Jared and Flaxseed further, for they did not even know where Greenoxen Peak was located.
“G-Greenoxen Peak isn’t a place we’ve heard of either…” Jared squeezed out helplessly. “What? Howcould you not have heard of Greenoxen Peak as well? Greenoxen Peak is-”
Right as the old priest was about to chide Jared and Flaxseed, he suddenly froze as if he had. thoughtof something. Then, the waterworks began. He started bawling. The abrupt change in his mood startledJared and Flaxseed.
