âWhat kind of secrets can there be in the Four Great Sanctuaries?â
âTimes have changed, and the earthâs spiritual essence in the atmosphere is thinner. Even if those
places are the Four Great Cultivation Sanctuaries, it wouldnât be the same as before. I once went to the
Mountain Warrior Sect and found that the spiritual essence in the air was very thin. It wasnâ t any better
than what you can see in the Flying Eagles Academy, and itâs not even comparable to the inside of the
ancient boundary.â
âThere are many of the Mountain Warriors disciples that enter the Flying Eagles Academy. Some even
come looking for a master here!â
When the Fairy Doctor spoke of the Four Great Sanctuaries, she seemed a little disapproving. It was
probably because she thought that the Four Great Sanctuaries had long since fallen from grace and
were no longer as powerful as they were before.
They even tried to curry favor with the Flying Eagles Academy.
âLook at this!â
Alex tossed her the ancient jade bracelet in his hand. As the middle-aged man had already died, the
soul imprint on the ancient jade bracelet had also been dispersed. Thus, anyone could insert their
spiritual consciousness inside it to check its contents.
When the Fairy Doctor examined it, she let out a cry of surprise immediately. âThere are so many
things inside it!â
She looked at Alex in astonishment.
âLook at the quality of it,â Alex said.
This time, the Fairy Doctor studied it for a full five minutes. When she finally came back to her senses,
there were many emotions in her expression.
âThereâs something wrong with it!â
She also immediately noticed that something was wrong. âMany items in this storage bracelet canât be
found inside the Flying Eagles Academy, and some of them only appear inside the ancient boundary.
These are resources that are non-tradable either because the academy wouldnât sell any of these
items. Also, the ones that the academy has gotten had long since been divided and distributed. So how
did the Mountain Warriors get their hands on it?â
âEarlier, that man revealed something to me,â Alex said. âThe disciples that they sent to the academy
were all just an act.â
âSo, thatâs why youâre saying that the Four Great Sanctuaries are not some poor sods!â the Fairy
Doctor said.
Alex nodded. âThat man was just the sect masterâs nephew, yet he has such a wealth of resources that
are comparable to all the inventory in the Flying Eagles Academy. The stuff he has is also of a higher
level. Just think about how much more the person in control of them has?â
He paused. âI have a bold thought, whether the Four Great Sanctuaries have already been able to
enter the ancient boundary a long time ago, and⦠Whether thereâs something bigger theyâre hiding.â
âFor example⦠?â
âFor example, whether they have a trade relation with the sects and cities inside it?â
The Fairy Doctor was stunned by the thought. She pondered about it and then said, âI think⦠I need to
talk to my godbrother.â
Alex nodded, then grabbed the Warm Jade Bed from the ancient jade bracelet and gave it back to the
Fairy Doctor. âSis Winslet, I only need the bed. This ancient jade bracelet should be a good treasure to
use, and there are also supplies inside it. Keep them and put them to good use. I wonât go with you to
see Principal Henderson.â
âThis is yours.â The Fairy Doctor shook her head. âI donât want to owe you anything.â
Alex thought about it, then grabbed half of the spiritual tools inside and placed them in his storage ring.
âOkay, I only need these, and thatâs enough. The other things are not very useful to me, and I also took
the storage ring. Itâs also considered to be spoils of war. Besides, a bracelet is more fitting for a
woman.â
When Alex said that, the Fairy Doctor laughed. âThen, I shall accept this as a token of your love.â
The two kissed their goodbyes in the woods.
Once the Fairy Doctor left, Alex flicked his finger to burn the corpse on the ground before he left.

By the time Alex arrived back at Maple Villa, it was already dusk.
He placed Holly on the Warm Jade Bed and activated the formation on it. Soon, the spiritual essence in
their surroundings started to gather on the bed. After a while, the spiritual mist evaporated, and the
formation pulled on fairy power from far away.
The few people around them were shocked.
Even though they werenât lying on the Warm Jade Bed, they could still reap the benefits from it. The
effect of the Warm Jade Bed condensing the spiritual essence around them was much stronger than
the formations Alex had made to imitate it.
âWith the bed, Holly can last a bit longer,â Alex said.
Maya watched as the spiritual essence from far away was condensed from a distance and how it all
formed a spiritual vortex above the villa. She couldnât help but voice her worry. âIsnât this a little too
obvious? Cultivators will notice it right away, and Iâm afraid that it might attract some people that will
come coveting it.â
Alex furrowed his brows and glanced at it, then said, âIt is indeed too conspicuous.â
At this moment, Seiryuu, one of the Four Great Princesses that they had scurried away from the
Coleman family, said, âMy lord, why donât we go to the uninhabited island from before? The spiritual
essence in the atmosphere on the sea is stronger by a little, and itâs not easy to attract the attention of
others there.â
After everyone discussed it, it was decided that they did just that.
