Soon, the person in charge of House of Treasures was alarmed, and he rushed over to check things
out. When
he saw that the pillar of their building had actually been broken, he was stunned on the spot. âWhatâs
going on here?
âWho the hell did this? How dare he demolish the House of Treasures? The guts he must have!â
âWho did it? Come forward right now!â The manager jumped up and down angrily as he shouted. At
that moment, the female sales assistant pointed at Alex Rockefeller.
âItâs him. He broke the pillar with a
single punch. This person is a little crazy. Earlier, he asked me if this pillar was for sale. When I told him
it
wasnât, he broke the pillar.â The manager and a few others who just came over were dumbfounded
when they heard this. House of Treasures had been in business for up to a century. Nobody had ever
wanted to buy their load
bearing pillar before.
What else could this be if not intentionally causing trouble?
The manager was furious, and he kicked Alex right away. But in the end, he was sent flying backward
by a strong force of recoil. The sales assistant and customers next to him were all stunned.
A girl who seemed like a primary school girl pointed at Alex and Xyla Stoermer. âDonât touch them.
Theyâre
practicing Dragon Ladyâs Heart Sutra,â she started yelling.
Everyone was confused. The little girlâs mother quickly pulled her away so that she couldnât get close,
and she also stopped the little
girl from spewing nonsense. The manager woefully got up. He was about to get the security guards to
throw Alex and Xyla out when a
customer pointed at Xyla. âHey, I know who she is. Sheâs Princess Xyla from Michiganâs Stoermer
family.â The manager was startled. He wouldnât dare give the order anymore. After a long while, the
stone in Alexâs hand was thoroughly crushed into pieces. The bead in his energy core
also recovered to its formerly hidden state.
Alex also removed his hand from Xylaâs chest pressure point. There was still a lingering scent on it, as
well as
the lingering sensation of Alexâs touch. Xyla, though feeling a little shy, felt her exuberant mental
strength as well as the surging inner force within
her body. âOh my god!
Iâve advanced to the next level!â Xyla exclaimed softly. After that, she quickly covered her
mouth and looked at Alex with a stunned expression on her face. In fact, she had advanced by two
levels in a single instance. She was in an unusually fine state.

At this moment, the manager started to speak. âMs. Stoermer, this⦠You guys⦠Whatâs going on? My
shopâs pillarâ¦â
âStop talking.
Iâll be fully responsible for all the losses you suffered in the store today. Iâll compensate you ten
times the amount,â Xyla instantly said. Actually, the manager didnât want compensation. After all, House
of Treasures had been in business for many years. The owner was also a wealthy and
powerful person. The manager just couldnât stand Xylaâs attitude. Now that Xyla said that she was
willing to pay them ten times the amount in compensation, it showed how
sincere she was.
Hence, the manager quickly responded. âNo, itâs fine. Ms. Stoermer, you must be kidding. House of
Treasures is still able to afford the repair costs. Plus, this wooden pillar has been around for many
decades, and itâs gotten a little decadent. We would have needed to replace it anyway.â Making Xyla
owe them a favor was worth much more than the ten times of compensation she was willing to
offer.
Besides, the ceiling was only slightly damaged. None of the jade items were destroyed. How much
would ten
times the compensation amount to?
Xyla didnât hold back either. She instantly nodded. âYouâre too kind, manager! Well then, take us
upstairs to
have a look. Iâd like to buy a jade accessory as a wedding gift.â As Xyla was choosing a gift, Alex sat on
a stool. He paid attention to his body.
What happened earlier had directly pushed his cultivation level up to Intermediate-Spirit
Transcendence. In
fact, he was already very close to the Advanced stage. With another opportunity, he would be able to
break
through. After that, Alex searched for information wherever he could inside the Ultimate Book of
Medicine. Finally, he
found one, it was the spirit of Ancient Thunderclap Wood
