SWNOVELS Chapter 117: Spirit Fetus
Seeing that everyone was silent, Jacob walked towards the spirit spring again.
Jacob's action shocked Alan.
"Mr. Reyes, since you have already absorbed so much spirit spring, leave the rest to us!"
Jacob had absorbed all the spirit springs, and this put him at enmity with the other cultivators at the Semi-Divinity Phase.
As long as Jacob kept his head down and stay in this country from now on, cultivators at the Divinity Phase would leave him alone.
However, if Jacob acted recklessly and destroyed the spring here, he would be on the run ever after.
By then, not only the other five forces, but also secluded families in China would hunt him down. No doubt, he would die.
"Don't worry. I won't destroy this place!"
Jacob said.
He had his eye on this place and considered it as his personal property.
When he reached the Divine Sea Realm, he would employ Heaven Power to move it to China.
It was for the cultivation of the people closest to him.
Of course, Alan did not know what Jacob was thinking. He only thought that Jacob was arrogant before them, but he was afraid of those at the Divinity Phase. It was good that Jacob knew his limits.
Avada spat out another mouthful of blood with organ shreds. Only then did he stand up and dart a spiteful look at Jacob.
However, growing up in such a chaotic place like the Triangle Region, Avada knew very well that longevity called for resilience.
Evidently, he was no match for Jacob. After he got up, he said nothing and walked straight out.
James, Clemon, and Leo followed out, now that there were no more spirit springs for them to absorb.
They decided to get away from here, especially Clemon.
He knew very well that Jacob was doomed this time.
Clemon and Avada were both subordinates of Marshal of the Triangle Region, normally competing with each other. Avada's defeat naturally pleased Clemon, but what Jacob did to Avada here was an insult to Marshal.
With Marshal's vindictive personality, he would definitely not let Jacob off.
Alan frowned slightly when he saw Jacob keep circling around the spring, without showing the slightest intention of leaving.
"Mr. Reyes, I suggest you hurry up and leave this region. Shaan, Marshal of the Triangle Region, is a veteran at the Divinity Phase. His nickname is the Hand of God, famous throughout Asia. He always gets his revenge. You injured Avada. It is like hitting Shaan in the face. Besides, most of the people behind Jeremy and Sancho have reached the Divinity Phase. It would be too dangerous for you to be here if they come after you."
Alan hurriedly warned him.
Jacob was very strong. Alan didn't give up roping Jacob in. Alan wanted to befriend him and do him a favor. This would be helpful to Alan in the future, even if such an expert could not serve Alan. With his gifted brothers at home, Alan wasn't the favorite son of the family.
However, when Jacob heard Alan, he said, "Thank you for your concern, but I don't fear them!"
With that, Jacob sat down cross-legged by the Lake of Spirit Spring once again. However, this time, he did not intend to absorb the spirit spring.
Instead, he released his spiritual will from the mid-stage Incarnation Phase.
It hung over the entire cave, went along the lake and headed for its depth.
After exploring for two hundred meters, Jacob still found nothing.
Jacob couldn't help but sigh, slightly disappointed.
It seemed that most likely, there was no spirit fetus.
Just as Jacob felt disappointed, he suddenly felt a fluctuation, something of the living.
What was it?
Jacob's eyes lit up.
He felt a bit short of breath.
The fluctuation disappeared in a split second.
It was like an illusion.
However, at the mid-stage Incarnation Phase, how could he have any illusions for no reason?
His heart throbbed and he pushed his spiritual will to go deeper.
It finished another hundred meters, but nothing was found.
Jacob pondered for a moment before his heart throbbed again.
Then, Jacob reached out and grabbed in the air. Instantly, dozens of elixirs giving off heavy fragrance appeared in his hand.
There were the simple version of Resurrection Panaceas, Reinforcing Panaceas, Mana Collecting Panaceas, and a few top-grade Solidifying Panaceas and Nourishing Panaceas from Robby. The moment these elixirs appeared, Alan, standing aside, gasped in surprise.
His eyes were burning as he looked at Jacob's hand. It turned out to be various elixirs. He recognized all but one.
However, this posed no problem for him to assess their qualities. He could tell, through their fragrances and colors, each and every one of them was top-grade.
And more importantly, there were so many of them.
How could Jacob have so many top-grade elixirs with him?
Even Alan, a direct descendant of a secluded family, could only carry less than ten such elixirs with him.
Afterwards, Alan saw a scene that even petrified him.
Jacob actually cast all of them into the lake as if they were free of charge.
What was he doing?
It was way too extravagant!
At this moment, Alan felt so much pity that he could barely breathe.
Who exactly was Jacob?
He was absolutely not from secluded families.
His power was above Alan's. It was possible that Jacob's talent was strikingly tremendous. In this case, without the support of a secluded family, he could come to such a stage. However, it was unusual that he had so many panaceas.
It was known that besides the few people from the Pharmacy, there was only a handful who could refine top-grade elixirs. Most of them flowed to secluded families. Only a tiny portion would be passed on to families in China. Could it be that Jacob was a descendant of one of those hidden Medical Immortals?
If that was true, then Jacob's identity would bring a greater benefit than his power.
Of course, Jacob didn't know that so much was going on in Alan's mind.
These things were just the bait for him to get the spirit fetus.
To his disappointment, the elixirs only triggered a mild reaction.
Jacob felt the fluctuation coming from the spring once again, and then it faded.
"How cunning this little fellow is!" Jacob thought to himself.
Then, he reached out and grabbed in the air again.
Half of ginseng appeared in his hand.
It was precisely the thousand-year-old ginseng that Jacob had obtained in South Riverside Province.
Now there was the half left.
Then, Jacob threw it into the spirit spring.
Immediately, the fluctuation became even more intense. Then, it lapsed into silence again.
The smile on Jacob's face gradually grew wider.
After that, Jacob kept throwing things into the spring.
These were all precious medicines that he had placed inside the Chaos Pearl.
Alan's jaw dropped open when he saw it nearby.
Just like that, he watched Jacob tossing them one by one into the spring.
And he could tell that Jacob must have storage equipment.
From the number of precious medicines, as well as Jacob's storage equipment, Alan got more certain about Jacob's background. He was most likely a Medical Immortal's descendant or successor! In the end, even after Jacob ran out of the precious medicines, no spirit fetus surfaced.
However, the fluctuation was getting stronger.
Jacob already sensed where the spirit fetus was hiding.
However, Jacob did not force it out. It was too sensitive. Even Jacob was not entirely confident that he could succeed. If he failed, it would be frightened. The game would be difficult if it became vigilant. Moreover, Jacob didn't want to capture it by force.
Jacob cast his gaze to the medicinal herbs planted by the six forces, but he didn't touch them.
Those herbs hadn't yet matured into spirit medicines, so they wouldn't help much. It was better to keep them and let them grow well for later.
Then, Jacob turned his gaze to Alan, not moving and dumbfounded. "I wonder if Mr. Dale has any treasures or elixirs full of nourishing mana. Can you lend them to me? I'll pay you back double!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
